My kung fu has been enlightened by myself

After Chu Zhou tidied up, he took the cold iron sword he had just exchanged in the deacon's hall, bid farewell to Zhao Rui, and rode back home alone.

Zhao Rui was also planning to return home to participate in the clan meeting this day. The Zhao family was quite powerful, even stronger than the Chu family, but they were in another city and were not on the same road with Chu Zhou.

In the evening, the horse ran non-stop for hundreds of miles, Chu Zhou was calm and relaxed, but the rented old horse was exhausted.

The outline of Zhucheng can already be seen in front of it, and it is extremely quiet and peaceful in the sunset, as it is in memory.

Zhucheng is the place where Chu Zhou lived as a child. It is named for the lush green bamboos growing inside and outside the city. These green bamboos are solid in texture and emerald green like jade after drying. They are a major feature of Zhucheng and a source of income.

Zhucheng is not big, with more than [-] households living in it. There are only two major factions, one is the rich Chu family, and the other is the city lord's Lin family.

These two families almost controlled more than [-]% of the resources in the city. As soon as the disciples of the Chu family reached the age, they were sent to the Heavenly Sword Sect to practice and strengthen their bodies, while the Lin family was more inclined to Ziyun Sect.

As for other ordinary people, where there are such resources, it is almost difficult to get ahead in the city, and they can only survive in the cracks.

Most of the ordinary things are like this, Chu Zhou doesn't care about these things, he just wants to see his mother soon.

Passing by the mansion of the patriarch of the Chu clan decorated with lanterns and festoons, the return of the young master Chu Ping was being celebrated inside.

Chu Zhou didn't look sideways, and he didn't feel much about it. Unknowingly, his practice may have really changed him a lot.

In the area where the Chu clan gathered, the people living in the front and center were naturally those powerful clansmen. When Chu Zhou left for Tianjianzong, he and his mother had already moved to the last small house.

Although the house is not big, it is simple and warm. The big yellow dog lying in front of the door is still so enthusiastic, wagging its tail and rushing forward.

"Is Zhou'er back?" Hearing the movement, Liu Shi, who was working in the room, came out, and seeing the young man standing with the horse, his eyes immediately turned red.

Mother had a few strands of gray hair on her temples, and she wore cheap linen clothes, which was quite different from the graceful and luxurious image in her memory.

Supporting the family by herself for so many years, and supporting her son to practice in Tianjianzong, just as Chu Ping said, she had to rely on doing odd jobs for the clansmen to make money.

"Mom, I'm back."

Thousands of words, but after seeing the haggard face of the mother, it is difficult to say it.

Liu patted Chu Zhou's head with a smile, feeling that her son was already taller than her, and then went to prepare food.

"The young master Chu Ping came back today, and I was thinking Zhou'er, you haven't been home for several years, why would you come back this time, so I asked the patriarch's wife for three days' vacation."

The two chatted with each other with a smile. During this period, Chu Zhou wanted to ask his mother whether she had been unfairly treated in the clan and whether the clan had issued pensions normally, but she didn't have a chance to ask.

Forget about the troubles for a while, as if back when I was a child, eating delicious meals made by my mother, and talking about some interesting things in Tianjianzong, Chu Zhou casually said that he would not let his mother suffer anymore, and that he had grown up.

But the mother smiled and said that he was still a child, so he didn't need to force himself, whether he could stay in Tianjianzong or not, as long as he was safe and sound.

What my mother wants most is that he can grow up like other teenagers, marry a wife and have children to form a small family, regardless of his achievements, as long as he is happy.

At night, Chu Zhou was in a restless mood. He sat in front of the door and scratched the yellow dog's chin. Under the hazy moonlight, he slowly drew his sword and danced, practicing Liuguang swordsmanship.

For the time being, he can't fulfill his mother's wish. Marrying a wife and having children is too far away from him, and immortality is doomed to be lonely, but as long as he is strong enough, at least he can guarantee his mother's life of prosperity.

The next morning, after breakfast, Chu Zhou was helping to wash the dishes when he saw a young woman dressed as a maid walking into the room with a sullen face.

"Aunt Liu, what are you dawdling about? The young master is back, and the mistress's house is busy celebrating. Manpower is needed everywhere. Why don't you go to help at this time?"

Mrs. Liu quickly wiped her hands and said, "Xiao Jing, I already asked Madam for three days' leave yesterday."

Xiao Jing curled her lips and said: "Madam said, you are only allowed for one day. I didn't expect that there are too many people who came to congratulate you, and you are too busy. Come with me quickly, and I will replenish you later."

Liu Shi hesitated for a moment, then nodded with difficulty. For the sake of living, she had no choice at all.

"From now on, my mother will not do odd jobs for anyone." Chu Zhou washed the bowls, placed them neatly, and said to the maid: "Go back, the many injustices my mother has suffered in the clan these years, today I will take it back together."

The words were as usual, without any emotion, as if he was talking about a very ordinary thing.

The maid Xiaojing sneered, she didn't look at Chu Zhou, but said to Mrs. Liu: "Aunt Liu, what do you mean? You have to know that we all rely on the family to have a way of life. Seriously. Want to fall out with the clan? It's not that I underestimated your son, it's rumored in the clan that he will be kicked out of the Heavenly Sword Sect immediately, what do you think he can change?"

Liu obviously knew something, but she never said it. She understood that her son was doing it for her own good, but she was still too young to know the hardships of life.

Just as he was about to speak to persuade his son, unexpectedly Chu Zhou had already picked up the long sword and a cloth bag placed on the table.

Liu's complexion changed, and the maid Xiaojing's legs became weak from fright.

Naturally, Chu Zhou would not be rude to a maid, so he smiled gently, pointed behind her, and said, "Lead the way, let me see what my eloquent uncles will say to me today."

Xiao Jing ran away as if fleeing, and Chu Zhou paced behind.

Liu's heart was uneasy, fearing that her son would make a big mess and be hurt by those old fellows in the clan, so she had to follow behind and persuaded her.

"Mother, don't worry, my child has already achieved some achievements and made a lot of money in the practice of Tianjianzong these years. I will pay off what I owe them, and mother will no longer have to look at people's faces."

When the mother and son rushed to the door of the patriarch's mansion, a group of family members were waiting with sticks in their hands. Xiao Jing hid behind the family members and shouted coldly: "Chu Zhou trespassed on the patriarch's house with evil intentions. If you don't take him down, take him to the palace." Fall in front of the master."

How could such a little girl have such courage, she dared to overstep and issue orders on her behalf, someone must have secretly instigated her.

It can't be Chu Ping, he's not that stupid, he knows that these ordinary people can't be a hindrance to him, it's just his domineering mother, who deliberately wants to come out like this, to show off her existence, that's all she used to be When I was in the top position, I liked to come like this from time to time.

There were a lot of pedestrians in front of the gate, and there were also many guests. I didn't know what happened, so they hid in the distance and pointed.

Chu Zhou didn't even make a move, but just let out the aura of the foundation building period. The astonishing coercion made these ordinary servants tremble with fright as if they were facing a beast, and collapsed on the ground.

The passers-by who didn't face his imposing manner looked puzzled, and couldn't figure out what was going on. Why did the servants who were so vicious just now fell down in the blink of an eye?
Leading his mother through the servants, Chu Zhou picked up Xiao Jing, who was incontinent and pale, and said gently again, "Lead the way."
