Chapter 92 Ancestor of the Zhao Family
Shangyang City, Zhao District.
The entire area here belongs to the Zhao family, covering an area of more than 300 acres, an area larger than two millet areas.
When you walk in here, you can see that the land is flat, the houses are like, there are fertile fields, beautiful ponds, mulberry and bamboo trees.
There is traffic on the streets, dogs and chickens hear each other, and there are many hard-working spiritual farmers working in the fields. They should be tenant farmers of the Zhao family.
It's like a paradise.
As he wandered leisurely, he took in the crops in the fields one by one. As a former spiritual farmer, he instinctively remembered the names of these crops in his mind.
"Golden silk rice, dragon tooth rice, white lotus rice, fragrant bamboo rice, nectar rice..."
"The second-order spiritual veins are indeed extraordinary. The ones grown here are all top-grade first-order spiritual rice, and they are very valuable."
"But from the looks of it, regardless of the other immortal cultivating families in Shangyang City, just looking at the Zhao family, their qualifications don't seem to be high."
"A farming family is not just a bigger landlord, it's just a landlord in the world of immortality."
"It seems that the production method in the world of immortality is still in its rudimentary form."
"But it may be that my level is too low and I cannot observe the world from a global perspective..."
"Forget it, forget it, I'm not here to carry out reforms and lead the productivity revolution. Why do I want to think so much?"
Thoughts kept popping up in Yu Xian's mind.
He came here this time because he was invited by the ancestor of the Zhao family to meet him, and it was Guanshi Zhao who accompanied him all the way.
Manager Zhao had been paying attention to Yu Xian's expression, and when he saw something strange on his face, he couldn't help but smile bitterly:
"The Zhao family's place is so simple that it makes my nephew laugh."
Yu Xian laughed and said, "The beautiful scenery of Taoyuan here is exactly what Yu yearns for."
Manager Zhao tentatively said, "Since my nephew likes it here, if my nephew is allowed to live here in the future, would he be willing?"
Yu Xian was hesitant: "Let's take a look."
The two walked and talked, and soon arrived at the center of the Zhao family - a large house with red walls and green tiles.
It doesn’t have any fairy-like style, it’s not a palace, it’s not a pavilion...
That's it, very down-to-earth.
It can also be referred to as the landlord's old house.
Yu Xian felt that the buildings in Prince Fu's Mansion were much more artistic than the Zhao family's mansion.
But the mountains are not high and the water is not deep. The people who live in this house are cultivators of immortality.
Then if you bring in a hundred people, a hundred people will say that the Zhao family's mansion is a fairy home, and Prince Fu's mansion is a shabby house.
After entering the mansion, Yu Xian found that there were very few people in the mansion and it seemed a bit deserted.
Manager Zhao explained that the cost of living in the city was too high.
Therefore, there are no servants in Zhao's residence, or in other words, all the servants' jobs in Zhao's residence are part-time jobs for the Zhao family's children.
They all work and practice at the same time.
Some of the Zhao family members who came from collateral families had to go out to farm with tenant farmers.
Soon, Manager Zhao led Yu Xian into the mansion and arrived at the Yangxin Residence where the ancestor of the Zhao family lived.
"Ancestor, Yu Xian is here."
Manager Zhao bowed to a young man in white clothes with his hands behind his back in the courtyard.
The young man turned around and saw none other than Zhao Qingfeng, the ancestor of the Zhao family, a monk in the middle stage of foundation building.
He cupped his hands towards Yu Xian and showed a kind smile.
"Fellow Daoist Yu, I've heard of his famous name for a long time. Poor Taoist Zhao Qingfeng is so polite."
Seeing Patriarch Zhao being so polite, Yu Xian was surprised and quickly returned the greeting with his hands raised:
"Old Ancestor, you are too polite. I am a junior, and I am unworthy of the title of fellow Taoist."
"There is no order of precedence in hearing the Tao. Since you have broken through to the realm of foundation building, you are enough to be worthy of being called my Taoist friend.
You don’t have to call me ancestor, just call me fellow Taoist. "
Ancestor Zhao had a warm smile on his face and spoke softly, making people feel like a refreshing breeze.
"Uh... Fellow Daoist Zhao?"
This behavior made Yu Xian feel a little unconfident.
Have you fallen under an illusion?
After all, theoretically speaking, he is still a suspect.
Manager Zhao on the side suddenly thought of the good nephew he had spoken to before, and his face slowly turned pale.
The ancestor is called fellow Taoist, and he is called the wise nephew. This does not mean that he is higher than the ancestor.
He suddenly felt a little soft in his calves.
Fortunately, Patriarch Zhao waved his hand to him in time and said: "Little Sanzi, please step aside first. I have something to say to fellow Taoist Yu."
"Yes, ancestor."
Manager Zhao hurriedly left.
Manager Zhao's name is Zhao Dechun. Strictly speaking, he is the great-nephew of Patriarch Zhao. Because he is ranked the third eldest son of his generation, he has always been called the third son by Patriarch Zhao.
Without this relationship, he would not be in charge of Yingchun Pavilion.
Wait until Manager Zhao retires.
Patriarch Zhao stretched out his hand to invite Yu Xian, revealed a tea table behind him and said, "I have made tea. Can Fellow Daoist Yu give me a favor?"
Yu Xian didn't know why, but since they were so polite, he wouldn't offend them.
"It is my honor to taste the tea brewed by fellow Taoist Zhao."
"Since Fellow Daoist Yu has married my daughter from the Zhao family, she can be considered half of the Zhao family. I am very happy to hear that Fellow Daoist Yu has made a breakthrough, so I would like to express my belated congratulations."
Patriarch Zhao poured tea for Yu Xian and started chatting about home affairs.
Yu Xian clasped his hands on the tea table as a return gift.
"It was just a lucky break. Now that I think about it, I still have lingering fears. If it happens again, I will definitely not dare to do it again."
"Haha, a breakthrough is a breakthrough, there is no chance."
"It is because of my firm mind and brave and diligent cultivation that I have achieved today's breakthrough."
Ancestor Zhao was very polite to Yu Xian, but when he talked about the Zhao family, his expression turned cold.
"After I broke through the Foundation Establishment, for more than 40 years now, I have found a total of two Foundation Establishment Pills for the Zhao family, but no one has broken through.
Compared to fellow Taoists, the tens of thousands of people in the Zhao family are all trash! "
"So today I sincerely invite fellow Taoists to officially join the Zhao family and become a guest guest.
The descendants of Daoyou Yu and the daughter of the Zhao family will also have the same opportunity to inherit the Zhao family business in the future. "
Yu Xian's heart moved.
He originally just wanted to expose his foundation building skills to save himself some unnecessary trouble.
Unexpectedly, Patriarch Zhao had a keen eye and discovered his talent at a glance.
Now it seems that his goal can change again.
But he was not in a hurry at this time and asked:
"Now there are rumors outside that I assassinated the clan leader's son. Now that my fellow Taoist recruits me into the Zhao family, aren't you afraid of causing criticism from outsiders?"
"Don't say that Zhao Zhongliu was not killed by Taoist friends, but he was really killed by Taoist friends. In that case, he deserved his death."
Ancestor Zhao gave Yu Xian some reassurance, and then said:
"Speaking of which, I, the ancestor, was really unqualified. I gave the Zhao family a stable cultivation environment, but made them forget what danger was.
I think back then our Zhao family was just a small qi-training family, and the whole family struggled to survive on this land.
At that time, in order to deal with a late-stage first-order monster, the whole clan had to work together, be cautious, and not dare to slack off in the slightest.
Otherwise, it will be the end of death and annihilation of the whole family.
But these descendants are now better off, but they only know how to fight for power and gain all day long, living in a state of intoxication.
The son of a mere clan leader in Zhao Zhongliu openly threatened to send my daughter from the Zhao family to be a concubine in the Lin family, treating her brothers and sisters as slaves.
Even if he is not dead, I will still act according to family law.
So I asked fellow Taoist to join the Zhao family, firstly to appreciate fellow Taoist’s character and strength, and secondly to give others a warning.
If one day, the Zhao family loses me, where will the children of the Zhao family go?
Living in the world without strength is all vain. "
Yu Xian didn't care about the Zhao family's situation, he was more curious about another question.
"Why do you think I'm not the murderer?"
He just had the word "murderer" written on his forehead. Others, such as Manager Zhao and Zhao Shiwen, believed him deeply and seemed to want to keep his secret.
On the contrary, Old Ancestor Zhao looked like everyone was drunk and I was alone.
