Chapter 90 Replacement of old and new

Seeing that Song Qingze was a little discouraged by his words, Song Qingshi quickly spoke to comfort him.

"Qingze, don't be too discouraged. Qing Ming and I came to see you off. The clan leader specifically told us that the great elder just left. Everyone is very sad. You have to understand."

After listening, Song Qingze nodded thoughtfully, with a look of relief on his face.

The eldest brother Song Qingshi is the most kind-hearted among the younger generation monks. He has a good relationship with every Qing generation monk on the mountain, including Song Qingze.

Originally, the old patriarch wanted Song Qingming to see him off alone, but Song Qingming and Song Qingze hadn't talked much since they were young, and the relationship between the two had always been ordinary, so he roped in Song Qingshi and came here together.

The three of them walked and chatted all the way until Song Qingze was sent to a dozen miles outside Funiu Mountain before they stopped.

Song Qingze bent down and cupped his hands in front of the two of them and said: "Qing Ming, brother, please come here. Thank you for coming to see me off. Don't forget to say hello to the old patriarch for me when you go back."

"Third brother, outside is not as good as at home. You have to take care of yourself. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, don't forget to send a letter home. Although our brothers are of low cultivation and can't be of much help, we can still be of great help. Give you a hand."

Song Qingze looked at the two of them with red eyes, lowered his head and said, "Brother, you should also take care of yourselves. If I have the chance, I will definitely come back to see you."

"The mountains are high and the road is far, see you later.".

After bidding farewell to the two of them, Song Qingze strode forward, used his magic technique, and soon disappeared from the eyes of the two.

After joining Xiaoyao Sect, Song Qingze became outstanding because of his talent. He was soon accepted as a closed disciple by a foundation-building monk in the sect. He has lived quite well in Xiaoyao Sect in the past few years, and his cultivation has reached the eighth level of Qi refining. It is estimated that in another five or six years, he will be able to It’s time to prepare for foundation building. I want to go back to Funiu Mountain again, but I don’t know when it will be.

Every thirty years or so, the Song family will have a quota for an inner disciple of the Xiaoyao Sect. However, the spiritual root qualifications required to go to the Xiaoyao Sect are at least three spiritual roots. This time, the family was originally going to send Qingyu to the Xiaoyao Sect. Because Song Qingze took the initiative to ask for the clan leader, he was finally replaced.

Song Qingze went to Xiaoyao Sect, so he was considered a member of Xiaoyao Sect. Unless there was a mission on weekdays, disciples in the Qi Refining Stage could not leave the sect at will. If they wanted to come back, they had to ask for leave from the sect.

In addition to him, the Song family also has an elder monk who was sent to Xiaoyao Sect by the family decades ago. However, this uncle's talent is average. Although his cultivation has reached the late stage of Qi refining, he is too old. , there is a high probability that there will be no way to build a foundation in this life.

Although the inner disciples like them are treated relatively well after entering Xiaoyao Sect, unlike ordinary outer disciples, they have to complete a lot of sect chores every day before they have some time for their own cultivation.

The reason why a cultivating family like the Song family would send people with outstanding spiritual roots to the Xiaoyao Sect is because in the Xiaoyao Sect, people like them have a greater chance of building a foundation. The main reason why Song Qingze chose to join the Xiaoyao Sect It was also for a foundation-building pill that was beyond the reach of low-level monks like them.

Once a monk in the clan successfully builds a foundation in the Xiaoyao Sect, the family will have a bridge to talk to within the Xiaoyao Sect in the future, and it will be easier to obtain resources from the Xiaoyao Sect to support the family.

The four major foundation-building families in Qinghe County all have foundation-building monks in the Xiaoyao sect. The Guanghuang family has two foundation-building monks in the Xiaoyao sect. His ancestors also had a golden elixir monk in the Xiaoyao sect. The relationship within the sect is far superior to that of other sects. Every few decades, you can exchange a foundation-building pill from Xiaoyao sect.

It is precisely because of the strong backers in the Xiaoyao Sect that the Huang family has been able to dominate Qinghe County for thousands of years.

After seeing off his third brother Song Qingze, Song Qingming returned to Funiu Mountain and went directly to the back mountain, preparing to say goodbye to the clan leader and return to Qinghefang.

After sending a message outside, Song Qingming quickly received permission to enter the clan leader's cave.

The old patriarch was sitting on a wicker chair with a kind face, and there was a seven or eight-year-old boy standing next to him respectfully.

Song Gushan has been cultivating Taoism for hundreds of years. He has always been an ascetic monk who has devoted himself to Taoism. He has not married, had children and left any descendants, and his immediate relatives have long since turned into a handful of loess.

After monks enter Taoism, in order to devote themselves to cultivation, most people generally do not choose to start a family. Only some monks like Fourth Uncle, who have spiritual roots, are hopeless on the road, and do not like cultivation, will choose to marry early and have children and enjoy the life of a monk. There are not many such monks in the world of immortality, a life that mortals yearn for.

Seeing a tiger-headed child in the cave of the old patriarch, Song Qingming also had a hint of surprise on his face, and looked at this person with curiosity.

After bowing to the old patriarch, Song Qingming slowly expressed his desire to return to Qinghefang as soon as possible.

Song Gushan heard that he had returned to Qinghefang, and immediately agreed to him. After all, he had been back for half a month, and problems could easily arise if no one in Qinghefang was watching.

After Song Gushan finished speaking, he saw that Song Qingming was about to leave, and stretched out his hand to stop him again.

"Qing Ming, this is Xinhu, the great-grandson of the great elder. It was just last month that he was found to have spiritual roots and has been included in the family tree. It happened to be that the great elder passed away and there were many things at home, so he didn't inform you in time. ." Seeing some confusion on Song Qingming's face, the old patriarch pointed to the child beside him and explained to Song Qingming.

"This child is the great-grandson of the great elder. Could it be..." Although Song Qingming had thought that he should be the child who had just come up the mountain, he really didn't guess that he was actually the direct descendant of the great elder.

Could it be that the great elder hurriedly called him back for this child? Song Qingming vaguely guessed something that he had not figured out a few days ago.

Seeing Song Qingming looking at him closely with a surprised look on his face, the child named Song Xinhu leaned towards the old patriarch with some fear.

"The great elder was anxious to find you back at that time, actually for Xinhu. He wanted to ask you to take care of this child, but he didn't expect that he left before you arrived."

Seeing that Song Qingming had thought of the answer, Song Gushan slowly spoke to confirm his guess.

"Don't worry, clan leader. Qingming knows. We all grew up under the wings of our elders. Without the protection of the great elder and you over the years, I would not be where I am today."

Since Song Qingming came to Funiu Mountain, the great elder has become his mentor, teaching him the way of cultivation step by step. Next, it is Song Qingming's turn to lead the next generation of cultivators. For two hundred years, the Song family cultivators have been passed down from generation to generation.

Song Gushan nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "I will take care of this child first. He is also the first cultivator of the new generation. The family will depend on you in the future."

The Song family sets up a generation every thirty years or so. Among them, there are only three people in the ancient generation after the great elder passed away. There are a total of fourteen cultivators in the long generation, not counting the seventh uncle who went to Xiaoyao Sect. There are still ten people left now.

There are a total of sixteen Qing-generation cultivators in Song Qingming's generation. Excluding his third brother Song Qingze, there are still fifteen people. Including Song Xinhu, who has just come up the mountain and is of the Xin-generation, there are almost thirty cultivators in the Song family.
