NOVEL NEXT Chapter 20 What is a family?
On a spring morning, the temperature at the top of Fangmu Mountain was very low, and the mountains and plains were wet. Dewdrops fell one after another, hitting the leaves, the grass, and the ground. new
Lin Shiming stood at a corner of the mountain and looked down the mountain. He saw a sea of clouds filling the air and rolling eastward.
To the east, a ray of early sunshine rises from the sky and breaks through the sea of clouds. It is extremely spectacular.
This is already the second day after Lin Shiming returned to Fangmushan, and he was notified to wait here.
In the distance, a spiritual talisman flew over and turned into fire. The spiritual power twisted and turned into a string of words.
"Come to Qinglian Pond quickly, the old patriarch has summoned you!"
Lin Shiming did not dare to delay, so he added a light body technique to his feet and walked towards the bluestone path higher up the mountain.
When he arrived at Yixing Pavilion, a middle-aged man in blue shirt was waiting for him, it was Lin Yuqi, the second elder.
"The old patriarch summoned you by the Qinglian Pond, don't keep him waiting for too long!"
"Okay, Second Grandpa!" Lin Shiming nodded, then crossed the pavilion and continued walking.
The further he walked, the spiritual energy Lin Shiming felt became more and more intense. Fangmu Mountain had third-level spiritual veins, and Qinglian Spirit Pond was derived from spiritual veins, so the spiritual energy was the strongest in the entire Fangmu Mountain.
Soon, Lin Shiming saw a twenty-meter-wide spiritual pool. Compared with the spiritual pool in Peach Blossom Valley, the spiritual pool in Fangmu Mountain was larger, the spiritual energy mist was thicker, and it felt like a fairyland on earth.
In the center of the Lingchi, lush lotus leaves float on the surface of the Lingchi.
Next to the lotus pond, there is also a pavilion. new
I saw a young man fishing in the pavilion.
But the strange thing is that the young man's hair is as pale as snow!
"Are you a descendant of Houyuan?" Seeing Lin Shiming coming, the young man lifted up the fishing rod, turned it over, and put it into his storage bag.
"Back to the seventh uncle! It's Shiming!" Lin Shiming also understood at this time that the person in front of him who looked about the same age as him was actually the old patriarch of the Lin family, Lin Xianzhi.
Looks to be in far better condition than rumored.
"Come and sit!" After Lin Xianzhi said this, he took the lead and sat at a stone table in the pavilion.
There is a chessboard on the stone table. The white chess on the chessboard is obviously suppressed by the black chess, and the black chess is still eating away at the white chess step by step.
Lin Shiming walked over and sat in another seat as arranged by Lin Xianzhi.
In his mind, he was also thinking about whether he was allowed to play chess.
You can just let yourself play chess and continue to eat away at the black pieces.
"Shiming, what do you think is family?" Lin Xianzhi spoke first, and he was not talking about the chess pieces on the chessboard.
When Lin Shiming heard this, he was stunned for a moment.
What is a family?
Lin Shiming really couldn't answer this sentence for a while.
Immortal cultivators often say, just seek immortality, don’t ask about the future.
The word "seeking" means searching from top to bottom! He dares to be the first, he dares to make the sun and moon change the sky, he dares to fight with the sky, he dares to fight with the earth!
In that case, how can we care whether the road ahead is a broad road or a thorny and muddy road? newᴄᴏᴍ
What about the family? Lin Shiming was in confusion and couldn't find a correct answer at all.
If you think about it carefully, are the family principles you thought before really correct?
Just as a person should have a goal, what is the goal of being a family monk?
"Don't be in a hurry, you can think about it more. Look at the white chess piece. Because he is not sure of winning, he has not counterattacked! Instead, he is being eaten up less and less!" Seeing Lin Shiming's hesitation, Lin Xianzhi continued to speak.
Lin Shiming once again focused his attention on the chessboard and found that White's main combat power was still preserved, and only the side branches were lost.
However, it is not easy to successfully counterattack. After all, the strength gap between white and black is still there.
Lin Shiming couldn't help but think of the Lin family. The Lin family has been declining for so many years since the Zifu family. How could it be possible without someone taking the lead?
After all, the Lin family has the Xuan-level Zifu Cultivation Technique, which can reach the highest level of Zifu.
Then I thought of my seventh uncle, who had been suppressed and healed.
The Seventh Uncle is waiting for his injury to return to his peak, and the Lin family is also waiting for a chance to rise, waiting for a chance to turn the situation around.
Then the meaning of the seventh uncle is obvious.
The Lin family has enemies and they are very powerful. I am asking about Lin Shiming's feelings and dependence on the family.
Of course, this also means that Lin Shiming is gradually moving to the top of the Lin family and moving towards management.
In a family that cultivates immortality, there are always some children of the family who are obsessed with cultivating immortality and feel that the family will drag them down, so they go out on their own.
There are three thousand immortal roads, one for each.
This thing is not uncommon. There was even a Tianlinggen monk who, after helping his family become the Zifu family, left and never appeared again, claiming that the cause and effect were perfect.
This is too disappointing for a family that has devoted all its efforts to cultivate a genius, but it is powerless!
"Back to my seventh uncle, Shi Ming is stupid and can only understand that family is the root. I was born and raised here, and my family is like my Taoist heart!"
"When the family prospers, I prosper; when the family declines, I prosper!"
"So Shiming is willing to turn into a family sword and kill all enemies!" Lin Shiming spoke word by word.
And at this moment, his concept of family became much clearer.
Yes, as a family monk, he has been with the family since he was born. If he wants to reach the end of the real immortal road, he cannot escape from the word "family".
"Yeah! It's much better than your father's answer." Lin Xianzhi nodded and started talking again randomly:
"You should have guessed that our Lin family has a powerful enemy, the Zifu family!"
"I was also injured by those people, and was given a strange poison. In the past thirty years, although most of it was suppressed and resolved by relying on the spiritual lotus roots and lotus seeds of the Green Lotus Spirit Pond, most of the meridians in my body were lost and blocked, and my cultivation level was even Start going backwards, let alone taking action!"
"Fortunately, the second-level top-quality spiritual wine you brought back this time can just cure hidden wounds, adjust meridians, and reconcile spiritual energy. It won't take long to restore the combat power of the mid-stage foundation establishment."
"I called you here, and I also asked you what reward you want?"
"Back to my seventh uncle, the entire family was responsible for retrieving the spirit wine this time. Shiming only contributed a little bit of Weibo's power, and I don't dare to ask for a reward." Lin Shiming waved his hands repeatedly.
The family's victory was a result of the elders' all-out efforts and the death of his uncle, so he didn't dare to take credit.
He couldn't do that either.
"The family should have rewards and punishments. Since you didn't tell me, I'll give you a second-level high-grade flying sword!" Lin Xianzhi didn't wait for Lin Shiming to answer. He just waved his hand and a small dark green sword appeared. In Lin Shiming's hands.
"This sword is called the Black Lotus Sword. It was used by me when I was young. Now it has a commemorative meaning for me, so I gave it to you! I hope you will continue to work hard and reach new heights!"
"In addition, you can practice here and break through the sixth level of Qi training!"
"Thank you, Seventh Uncle!" Lin Shiming quickly waved his hands to express his thanks, and was also very happy that the old patriarch suggested a breakthrough here.
You must know that next to this spiritual pool is a third-level spiritual pool. Breakthroughs in cultivation here will not only double the speed, but also make it easier to consolidate your cultivation.
But before that, Lin Shiming still had two things to ask.
"Seventh Uncle, there is something Shiming doesn't know. I wonder if I can ask Seventh Uncle to help me with my eyes." Lin Shiming took out the magic pavilion door stone. He originally wanted to go to the Sutra Tower of the Treasure Pavilion to look for this thing. , but now that the experienced seventh uncle is here, it is naturally faster to show him.
"Eh!" Lin Xianzhi raised his hand. At first glance, he was obviously frightened by the stone's ability to absorb consciousness.
