Chapter 632 Song Xuanfeng, meddling in other people's business
Time flies, and soon another three years have passed.
On this day, in Mujiao Town under Funiu Mountain.
Because the biennial Song family spirit-testing conference has arrived again, dozens of mortals from all over the Song family have gathered in a huge square hundreds of feet wide on the east side of the town early in the morning, and many people are anxiously rushing here on the road.
Among these people, there are adults and children, standing in the square and laughing with each other, everyone has a trace of joy on their faces, and their eyes are still focused on the stone platform in the middle of the square from time to time.
When the sun was high in the sky, when there were almost hundreds of people gathered in the square, a team of mortal innate warriors came not far away and surrounded the stone platform to prevent the mortals who were watching the ceremony from getting too close.
Then several Qi-refining cultivators with fairy spirits strode onto the stone platform. One of them said a few auspicious words to the many Song family mortals who came with their children to test their spirits, and then announced that this year's spirit-testing conference in Mujiao Town has officially begun.
There are now nearly 100,000 mortals in Mujiao Town. Every spiritual testing conference can gather hundreds of children of the right age. In order to speed up the spiritual testing and avoid any mistakes, the family also arranged three cultivators to be responsible for the spiritual testing conference at a time.
An eight or nine-year-old boy standing in the audience looked at his peers who walked up to the stage happily and left with disappointment. He asked his mother standing beside him with some fear:
"Mom! Why can't so many people do it? Then can't I cultivate immortality?"
The woman next to the boy lowered her head and stroked her child's forehead, smiling and encouraging him: "Feng'er, don't be afraid. You are the descendant of our Song family's ancestor. Mom believes that you are different from them and will definitely become an immortal in the future."
"Yes! I will definitely become an immortal." Hearing his mother's encouragement, the boy clenched his fists tightly, and his face regained a little courage when he came.
Seeing that her child wanted to become an immortal, the woman sighed slightly in her heart.
The probability of a mortal being able to detect spiritual roots is only about one in a thousand. Every time Mujiao Town tests spiritual roots, hundreds or even thousands of children can gather, but at most only one person can ascend to immortality each time, and most of the time no one can be tested for spiritual roots.
Although she knew in her heart that the probability of her child being tested for spiritual roots and becoming an immortal was very low, as a mother she was still unwilling to hit her child at this time, so she could only use her own ancestors to encourage him.
Just as the woman was still thinking about how to comfort her child after getting the results of the spiritual test, a warrior who helped organize the spiritual test conference on the high platform suddenly shouted a name loudly.
"Song Yunfeng, come up to test the spirit."
After hearing this name, the woman hurriedly raised a piece of bamboo with her child's name on it in her hand, and walked quickly with her child to the stage.
"Feng'er, don't be afraid, just listen to the immortal!"
After the woman carefully told the young man in front of her, she was relieved to hand it over to the immortal on the side, stepped aside and looked at them nervously.
After a while, when the boy put his hand on the spirit-testing plate as instructed by the immortal, several rays of light suddenly flew out from it, causing a burst of exclamations in the square.
"Another immortal has appeared!"
"Finally, someone has found out the spiritual roots again!"
The boy, who was still a little confused, looked at the immortal who was staring at him with a puzzled look after hearing the cheers around him.
"Not bad! It should be a good seedling with three spiritual roots. You can follow us to practice in the mountains in the future. Go and call your mother over!"
After hearing the immortal say that he had spiritual roots that could cultivate immortals, the boy hurriedly ran to his mother with a happy face and told her the good news.
Hearing the news that her child had been found to have spiritual roots that could cultivate immortals, the woman was a little unbelievable for a while, and thought she had heard it wrong, until the immortal who had just tested Song Yunfeng's spirit came over with a guard, she reacted and hurried to thank him.
The middle-aged man who had always been called the Immortal Master by everyone walked up to the mother and son, and then asked the town guard beside him: "You just said that this child is the descendant of the ancestor, is it true?"
The town guard immediately answered: "Master Immortal Master, I have been managing the west of Mujiao Town for more than ten years. I basically know all the descendants of the ancestor's lineage. This Song Yunfeng is indeed one of them."
"Well! I will report this to the elders of the clan as soon as possible. You go back and prepare first. I will pick him up in two days."
In the old house of the Song family on the west side of Mujiao Town, an old man who was already staggering, with dozens of people standing behind him, bowed to several portraits hanging on the wall for a few times, and then knelt on the ground with a happy face and kowtowed a few times.
"Thank the ancestors for blessing us. After more than a hundred years, our lineage finally has another person who has ascended to heaven."
The reason why the old man appeared in the old house of the Song family was because he was the direct descendant of Song Qingming's fourth brother. They were the closest people to him, the ancestor of the Song family, among the mortal bloodline down the mountain.
Since the immortal ancestor Song Qingming appeared in the family, at least nearly a hundred people of the Song family who were passed down from Song Qingming's fourth brother's lineage have participated in the spirit-testing conference over the past hundred years. As a result, without exception, none of them were found to have spiritual roots by the family.
This time, the family finally gave birth to a child with spiritual roots who could become an immortal. The descendants of the Song family, who were worshiping the immortal in the backyard of the Song family, were also very excited.
In the past hundred years, although the ancestor on the mountain has not returned home very often, because of his relationship, the descendants of the Song family have been cared for by the immortal master in the town for many years. Although their lives are not very prosperous, at least they are It's also carefree.
Now that there is a younger immortal who is more closely related to the family, their status in the Song family will definitely increase in the future. How can the elders like them not be excited.
Among the crowd, the only one with a trace of worry on her face was Song Yunfeng's mother standing at the back.
When her child succeeds in ascending to immortality and becomes an immortal, logically speaking, she, the mother, should be the happiest one, but when she thinks that her child will be far away from her from now on, separated from her immortality, at this moment, her I couldn't help but show a trace of reluctance on my face.
"Feng'er, when you go to the mountain, you must listen to your ancestors and elders, take good care of yourself, and remember to come back and see us when you have time."
Faced with his mother's constant warnings, Song Yunfeng, who was only eight or nine years old, could only understand very little and could only nod his head in a dull manner.
Two days later, Song Yunfeng was successfully received by two immortals from Funiu Mountain and brought to the Song family's meeting hall on Lingshan Mountain.
Song Yuanfang, who was busy, saw the child being brought to him. After confirming with the Song family monk who brought him, he personally took Song Yunfeng to the cave where Song Qingming retreated on the top of the mountain.
Song Yunfeng looked at the immortal uncle beside him, as if he was performing a magic trick. After taking out a magic talisman and casting a spell, the talisman automatically flew into the cave in front of him. After a while, the closed door of the cave slowly opened.
Seeing this, Song Yuanfang quickly led him in.
Song Qingming, who was having tea and chatting with Huang Siyuan in the cave, saw Song Yuanfang and Song Yuanfang walking in. His eyes immediately noticed Song Yunfeng, who was not far behind him and was a little submissive and at a loss.
After Song Yuanfang's reminder, Song Yunfeng realized that the man in green in front of him was the ancestor of the Song Family Mountain whom his family elders had mentioned to him countless times. He quickly knelt on the ground and bowed.
"I've met my ancestor!"
"Haha! This child looks quite similar to your eldest nephew from back then. I can tell you that he is his descendant." Before Song Qingming could speak, Huang Siyuan walked over quickly. He said with a smile.
Before Song's mother passed away, Huang Siyuan also visited the Song family. Naturally, she still had some impressions of several close family members of Song Qingming. She immediately remembered Song Yunfeng when she saw her.
Song Qingming smiled when he heard this, turned around and asked Song Yuanfang beside him: "What's his name?"
"The name at the bottom of the mountain is Song Yunfeng. He just went up the mountain today. Before I could help him change his name, he entered it into the family tree. That is, he is a descendant of the seventh uncle. I think it is best for you to help him choose a name for this!" Song Yuanfang Yi He answered with a smile on his face.
Song Qingming nodded slightly and said: "Since you are ranked in the Xuan generation, just change your name to Xuanfeng. You have just gone up the mountain today, so I won't give you anything. I will wait until you can introduce Qi into your body and refine Qi in the future." After this period, I’ll see what kind of spiritual things I’ll reward you with!”
"Haha! Since your ancestor is stingy and reluctant to give, I will give you some spiritual objects. These pills are all refined by me. You should be able to use them right away. Keep them first. !”
After Huang Siyuan finished speaking, she took out two small white porcelain bottles with a flash of inspiration in her hand, stepped forward and placed them in Song Xuanfeng's hands with a smile.
Looking at the two porcelain bottles in his hands, Song Xuanfeng was also at a loss and looked nervously at the family ancestor Song Qingming beside him.
"Since it's given to you, just keep it. Although you are the descendant of my fourth brother, there is no difference between all the family monks on the mountain. If you want to get more support from the family, you still have to accept it. You need to work hard on your own.”
After Song Xuanfeng nodded slightly after hearing this, he safely took the elixir in his hand into his arms.
After Song Xuanfeng stood up, Song Yuanfang raised his hands to Song Qingming beside him and asked:
"Seventh Uncle, there is one more thing I want to tell you. Yuan Qian received news a few days ago that Xuanting has collected the merits required to redeem the Foundation Establishment Pill. Do you think this Foundation Establishment Pill needs to be exchanged first? Give him one."
"Since you have collected the merits and you family elders feel that there is no problem, then this Foundation Establishment Pill should be given to him. The next matter of Xuanting's Foundation Establishment can be arranged directly here. There is no need to come again. Please tell me.
However, in the future, regarding the issue of selecting candidates for foundation building, I would like to add a suggestion, that is, in addition to the monks of your own clan, you must also treat those monks who marry or marry into the family equally, as long as the conditions are suitable and the Council of Elders agrees. Anyone can come to me to apply for a Foundation Building Pill.
In the future, the peripheral monks of the family including Chiyanfang, as long as they are absolutely loyal and have made great contributions to the family, can be included in the assessment scope of supporting foundation building. "
Hearing that Song Qingming was going to directly relax the family's original policy of selecting foundation-building monks and support monks with foreign surnames in the clan to build foundations, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on Song Yuanfang's face, and he asked excitedly:
"Are you saying that from now on, monks who are not from our family will also be included in the scope of supporting foundation building?"
"That's right! That's what I mean. Yueqing has been practicing to the ninth level of Qi Refining for some time. I think we should start from her side.
Tomorrow, please inform all the elders of the family to come to the meeting hall to discuss this matter. I will go there with you. As long as everyone has no objections, you can arrange for Yueqing to prepare for the foundation building matters, and let her go into seclusion with Xuanting to build the foundation as soon as possible. "
Song Yuanfang hesitated slightly and said: "Seventh Uncle, I know you are thinking about me and Yueqing, but after all, I am in charge of the family, and being so partial to my Taoist companions may cause gossip in the future and affect the hearts of the monks in the clan. ”
"This is my intention. Who told you to be biased? Didn't I just say that from now on, the selection of candidates for foundation building will be expanded. In the future, all monks with foreign surnames in the clan will have the opportunity to be supported in foundation building.
As long as the Council of Elders approves it, anyone who dares to gossip behind his back will be punished according to the clan rules and sent directly to Yinfeng Ridge! "After Song Qingming finished speaking, he waved his hand to stop Song Yuanfang's next words.
Song Yuanfang's Taoist companion, Huang Yueqing, was actually a three-lingen monk with good qualifications. However, the Song family had only supported monks named Song over the years, and had not considered supporting someone with a foreign surname like her.
Therefore, every time the family discussed candidates for foundation building, Huang Yueqing was automatically excluded even though her cultivation level met the requirements for foundation building.
After Huang Yueqing broke through the ninth level of Qi Refining a few years ago, Song Yuanfang was also determined to support his Taoist companion in building the foundation. In the past few years, he had been secretly raising spirit stones and asking around for news about the foundation building pill.
Song Yuanfang wanted to support Huang Yueqing in building the foundation. Naturally, it was impossible to hide it from Song Qingming, the patriarch.
After knowing this, Song Qingming, Song Qingyu, and Huang Siyuan discussed it and decided to help Huang Yueqing build the foundation, and also took this opportunity to modify the family's system for exchanging foundation pills.
For monks with foreign surnames like Huang Yueqing who have been married into the Song family for decades and have made certain contributions to the family, the family cannot always treat them as outsiders. They should treat these people equally.
Supporting Huang Yueqing to build the foundation will not only show the Song family's generous attitude towards others, but also allow other monks with foreign surnames in the family to see a glimmer of hope and be willing to make more contributions to the family.
Seeing Song Qingming's unquestionable attitude in his words, Song Yuanfang was immediately moved. After nodding his head in agreement, he left Song Qingming's cave with Song Xuanfeng.
After the two left the cave, Huang Siyuan looked at Song Qingming, who still had a smile on his face, and said softly: "This child still has three spiritual roots. With your support, there will definitely be no big problem in building the foundation in the future."
Song Qingming nodded slightly and said: "The help from us elders is always limited. How far he can go depends on his personal destiny.
However, after more than a hundred years, the fourth brother's lineage can be regarded as a monk. If my father and others knew about it, they would definitely be very happy. "
Huang Siyuan nodded slightly and said: "It's rare to be so happy today, let's go for a walk together!"
After walking down the mountain top and taking Song Xuanfeng to the family school, Song Yuanfang immediately returned home and told his Taoist companion Huang Yueqing the good news.
"Husband, you are not mistaken! Why did the ancestor suddenly support me in building the foundation? If we accumulate spiritual stones for a few more years, we will almost be able to exchange them for the foundation building pill. Why do you rush to ask the ancestor for me?"
Hearing Song Yuanfang's happy words, Huang Yueqing also had a look of disbelief on her face. She thought that Song Yuanfang had made the decision behind her back and went to ask Song Qingming, the ancestor of the family.
When Song Yuanfang heard this, he waved his hands with a smile and said: "Yueqing, you really misunderstood me this time. I didn't say it on my own initiative. This was what the ancestors meant. In the future, not only you, but also other monks with other family surnames will be punished." Opportunities to support foundation building.”
"This! The ancestor is really serious." Seeing that she had misunderstood, Huang Yueqing was moved in her heart. She did not expect that several family ancestors on the top of the mountain would actually care about the path of a monk like her who married outside.
"Yueqing, you should prepare well for foundation building. Don't think too much about other things. This time, besides you and Xuanting, they are also preparing to build foundation. As an elder, don't lag behind him!"
Huang Yueqing responded with a smile: "Don't worry! I have been preparing for foundation building these years, and I will definitely not let you and the ancestors down! In this life, I only hope to succeed in foundation building, and stay with me more You'll be fine in a hundred years, I don't have any hope of forming a pill."
"Haha! Apart from family matters, this is the only wish I have left in this life. No matter whether it takes a hundred years or two hundred years, I only wish to be with you until the end, and I will be satisfied."
——
On the top of Funiu Mountain, Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan were walking and came to Song's mother's grave at the foot of the mountain. Seeing many brand-new tributes placed around the ancestral graves of the Song family, Song Qingming also knew that it must be the descendants of the descendants at the foot of the mountain. I have been here to worship for a few days.
He took out a pot of spiritual wine from his body, poured a few glasses for several deceased relatives, and then softly shared with them the joy he had received not long ago.
This time Song Qingming was rarely so happy. He chatted in front of his mother's grave for half an hour before returning to the top of Funiu Mountain with Huang Siyuan.
As soon as the two came back, a blue sword light flew in front of them. It was Song Qingyu, the family ancestor who had just returned from Tuoyun Mountain.
In the past few years, Song Qingming, Song Qingyu, and Huang Siyuan have been practicing in seclusion, and each of them has gained a lot.
After three years of hard training in seclusion, Huang Siyuan has finally cultivated the "Zangyuan Technique" to a perfect state. Now her cultivation has been adjusted to the best state, and she can hit the golden elixir state again at any time.
After Song Qingyu refined the third-level low-grade "gilt spirit fruit", his body's magic power also increased a lot, and now his cultivation is almost reaching the peak of the first level of the golden elixir.
Song Qingming, who also refined a "gilded spiritual fruit", has improved a lot, but there is still a long way to go before reaching the fourth level of the golden elixir.
As for the "Red Dragon Pill" on his body, Song Qingming did not choose to take it to refine it now. He planned to use this pill to directly break through the realm of cultivation after his body's mana cultivation was more perfect.
"Brother Qi! I heard from Yuan Qian and others just after I came back that another junior member of your family has become an immortal. This is a great event. How are you going to celebrate it?" As soon as he saw Song Qingming and Song Qingyu, Song Qingyu hurriedly said: He asked happily.
"It's naturally a happy event when someone in the clan ascends to immortality, but that's not why I came back to you. Tomorrow, the family will decide on two candidates for foundation building. You, the ancestor of the family, must come back to participate when you have time. .
Siyuan and I are going to the East China Sea in a few days. You should pay more attention to the affairs of the clan and don't be careless. "
"Well! I know all these things. If you don't plan to reward me, Brother Qi, then sister-in-law, you won't be so stingy, right?" Seeing that Song Qingming was about to talk to her about family matters again, Song Qingyu hurriedly pulled her aside. Huang Siyuan looked at her expectantly.
See it! Huang Siyuan also smiled helplessly and said: "You finally came back, so you should be rewarded. Then go back with me first!"
Seeing the two girls leaving, Song Qingming could only smile and shake his head, and walked back to his cave alone.
After Song Qingyu followed Huang Siyuan to her cave, it didn't take long for Huang Siyuan to bring two fragrant spiritual foods to her.
"Sister-in-law! Your craftsmanship is better. The taste of the same thing made by the juniors in Xianfeng Tower is just a little bit worse." After taking a bite of the delicious spiritual food on the table, Song Qingyu couldn't help but praise the other party with satisfaction.
Huang Siyuan replied happily after hearing this: "The skills of a spiritual chef still need time to be honed slowly. This cannot be blamed on young people like them. The main reason is that your mouth is just like your brother's now, and it is getting more and more tricky. It’s hard to maintain.”
"Haha! You raised them anyway. Just be responsible for them in the future."
"Now that Seventh Brother's family has descendants who have become immortals, sister-in-law! When are you two going to have a child of your own?"
Hearing Song Qingyu's sudden question, Huang Siyuan's face suddenly felt embarrassed. She glared at Song Qingyu with a shy look and said: "You girl is really too lenient now. It seems that I won't be so kind as to help you out next time. I also made some spiritual food for you.”
"Sister-in-law! You are so angry now. You and Seventh Brother have been married for so many years. Isn't it normal to have a child? I would like to remind you why you are so nosy."
After Song Qingyu finished speaking, a hint of grievance appeared on his face. (End of chapter)
