Chapter 42: The Ancestor Wants to Travel
......
When facing Longyan Ancestor, it was completely different from when he saw Mingsheng Ancestor. Although the ancestor of Mingsheng is a little old-fashioned in appearance, it can give people a kind of scorching sun aura in the prime of life.
And Longyan Ancestor is not only thin, but also seems to have a trace of depressed twilight. It is no wonder that the situation of Longyan Ancestor has become worse and worse in recent years, and she has greatly reduced her consumption of spiritual food to provide for the younger generations in her family.
As a Lingtai Realm cultivator, the strength of his physical functions far exceeded that of a Qi Refining Realm cultivator. However, according to the law of conservation of energy in the universe, energy sources are not created out of thin air, and the more powerful the body, the greater the consumption.
Ordinary food is too low for the Lingtai Realm Ancestor, the transformation efficiency of qi and blood is too low. Therefore, all Lingtai Realm Ancestors usually need to supplement spiritual food for a long time to maintain the strength of their physical functions, and even use it to strengthen themselves.
However, with the failure of the sixth old lady Wang Xiaohan to attack the Lingtai Realm, the resources at home became more and more strained, and the ancestor of Longyan gradually reduced her consumption of spiritual food, and now she only consumes 80 catties of spiritual rice, 100 catties of spiritual fish and spiritual meat, and 2 second-order elixirs Gu Yuan Dan.
Among them, the spiritual food adds up to 36 dry gold, and 2 Guyuan Dan is only 60 dry gold.
The dignified Lingtai Realm Ancestor consumes less than 100 pieces of dry gold every year! I'm afraid this is just enough for her to maintain her state of meditation......
In fact, she's not the only one doing it.
Those clan elders in the family are only receiving spiritual food and other resources to maintain their bodies, and their cultivation has stagnated for many years. They have given up their opportunities to younger and more promising juniors.
"Shouzhe, are you sad?" Longyan Ancestor did not look back, his voice was a little ethereal and light, not at all as hoarse as an ordinary woman was old.
"It's just that I feel a little sorry for the ancestor. Wang Shouzhe told the truth.
In fact, Longyan Ancestor was only one hundred and fifteen years old, not a few years older than the Lu Clan's Mingsheng Ancestor, and he was still far from the limit of the Lingtai Realm.
It is said that the ancestor of Longyan was promoted to the Lingtai realm when he was thirty years old, and he reached the middle stage of the Lingtai realm at the age of sixty, and his physical functions have always been maintained in a young and beautiful state, and he is at the peak.
At that time, she was so high-spirited, and her life goal pointed directly to a higher level of heaven and man!
It's a pity.
The beast disaster in the three thousand and ninety-fifth year of the Changlong calendar forcibly pressed the Ping'an Wang clan from the clouds into the mud, and at the same time broke the wings of the Longyan Ancestor.
"The ebb and flow of the tide and the blossoming of flowers are the most common things in the world. Longyan Ancestor said calmly and turned around slowly, "I have heard what Hui'er said about your recent experience, and you have done a good job. ”
Although her figure is slightly thin, but with an ordinary cotton spun dress and cloth shoes, she has a kind of fairy aura that is out of the dust, and a pair of starry eyes are like a hundred-foot cold pool, which is completely impossible to see.
The only thing that made Wang Shouzhe regret was that Longyan Ancestor was wearing a veil on his face, and he couldn't see his face clearly.
However, the ancestor's veil is not only worn today, she has been dressed like this since Wang Shouzhe can remember, and she has never seen the true face of the ancestor of Longyan.
Xie Lao Zu praised. Wang Shouzhe arched his hand and said, "As long as the ancestor doesn't blame Shouzhe Meng Lang." After a pause, he said with a little curiosity, "Old Ancestor is looking for Shouzhe to come over, do you have any instructions?"
He was a little apprehensive in his heart, for fear that Longyan Ancestor would not agree with him to implement the sequence competition mechanism, because the older generation of clansmen paid attention to the unity and friendship of the clansmen. You may wonder if you are competing for the position of the sequence, whether it will cause the brothers to fall apart and the sisters to turn their faces.
"Shouzhe, you are the patriarch. Longyan Ancestor said calmly, "I won't point fingers at you. ”
"Then Ancestor, you ...... this time" Wang Shouzhe was a little confused, Longyan Ancestor was not the kind of person who had nothing to talk to him and casually boasted.
"I need you to arrange it and accompany me to Hyakdaowei. Longyan Ancestor said.
Hundred Island City?
Wang Shouzhe was stunned for a long time before he remembered that it was an acropolis near the East China Sea. It's normal to react slowly, he has never been out of Dalian Changningwei since he was a child, where would his mind think so far.
And since that catastrophe, Longyan Ancestor has never left the range of Changning Wei.
He suppressed his curiosity and arched his hand: "Shouzhe takes the order, please stay for two days, and I will arrange it." No matter what Longyan Ancestor's intentions were, it was impossible for Wang Shouzhe to refuse her request.
After receiving the order from Longyan Ancestor, Wang Shouzhe returned to his yard, took out the map of the state and county and began to check, and calculated the travel plan.
When Longyan Ancestor travels, the first element is secrecy.
Now is the most serious period of the insect plague, and the Liu and Zhao families are in a hurry, but even so they can't let their guard down.
Secondly, it is necessary to take into account the physical condition of Longyan Ancestor, so that she can not be bumped as much as possible, and someone needs to serve her all the way. The people who serve her personally must also be considered.
In a few moments, he worked out the route and plan of the trip.
"Wang Gui. Wang Shouzhe called the little maid in, "Go and invite my fourth aunt Xu and Wang Lici to come over." ”
Wang Gui was stunned: "Fourth Aunt Xu's family, which Xu's family?"
"You kid, of course it's my fourth uncle's family, the old and young in the family, can't you remember the dozens of people in the clan?" Wang Shouzhe frowned, and almost kicked over.
"The head of the family is going to summon the eldest lady. Wang Gui hurriedly nodded and ran out, "I'll go, I'll go." ”
But it's no wonder that Wang Gui has far more than one Xu family in the family. Second, Wang Shouzhe's fourth aunt Xu Zhirou has always been low-key, and after the death of the fourth uncle Wang Dingbang five years ago, she has become even more open.
But Wang Shouzhe's memory of the fourth aunt Xu Zhirou is more impressive, she was born in Jinsha Xu's direct lineage, when Wang Shouzhe's biological mother passed away when he was a child, Xu Zhirou was taking care of him.
Even after the eldest lady Gongsun Hui continued to marry, Xu Zhirou also helped take care of her for a long time, after all, Gongsun Hui was still a delicate little lady back then, and all of them were taught by the fourth aunt Xu Zhirou.
In his memory, Xu Zhirou has a gentle and meticulous personality, but she is very ingenious. He is good at cooking in small kitchens, and he knows how to make some gadgets that make him happy.
He was ignorant and sad at the beginning, but it was the fourth aunt who took care of him through the saddest days. It's a pity that the fourth aunt later became pregnant with her fifth sister Wang Luojing, and went back to raise the baby half a year later.
Since then, Wang Shouzhe has been living with his eldest mother, Gongsun Hui, until he was fourteen years old, and he moved to live alone in the courtyard of the current young patriarch.
Choosing the fourth aunt Xu, Wang Shouzhe values her gentleness and meticulousness, and if the ancestor travels, he needs an experienced mature woman to take care of him, and it is very suitable to go to the fourth aunt after thinking about it.
Putting aside distractions for the time being, Wang Shouzhe continued to improve his travel plan.
After a while, the fourth aunt Xu Zhirou and Wang Lici were introduced into his side hall by the little maid Wang Gui.
The last time Wang Shouzhe saw his fourth aunt was during the funeral of his deceased father, and as a female family member in the family, she was naturally busy with all kinds of things. It's just that Wang Shouzhe was confused at that time, and he didn't talk to her much.
Looking at it now, I saw that Xu Zhirou was wearing a plain fine-grained cotton skirt, and there was no extra jewelry on her body, she was simple and clean, the only thing that was not the same as in her memory was that she had a slightly vicissitudes of middle-aged woman's appearance.
It's no wonder that she gave birth to three children before and after, and the fourth uncle passed away five years ago, and it was enough for her to work hard to manage those children.
"The Xu family has seen the head of the family. Xu Zhi gave a gentle salute.
Wang Lici on the side also hurriedly saluted: "Lici has seen the fourth uncle. ”
"Fourth aunt is polite, you still call me Shouzhe as before. Wang Shouzhe also hurriedly returned the salute to Xu Zhirou, "Come on, come on, you sit down and talk first." Then he smiled and beckoned to Wang Lici and said, "Big girl, sit down too." ”
The two thanked each other and sat down.
Wang Gui was busy with tea, melons and fruits in the back, and then retreated.
Wang Shouzhe talked to Xu Zhirou for a while, and then turned his attention to Wang Lici, and saw that the girl was holding a piece of candied fruit, so he smiled and said, "What has the big girl been busy with lately?"
Wang Lici hurriedly swallowed half a piece of candied fruit, got up and replied in a panic: "Fourth Uncle Hui, I'm not busy with anything, I just read and practice every day." ”
This girl is the daughter of the eldest brother Wang Shouxin, who is sixteen years old this year, and is the eldest of the eighth generation of the family's bloodline, so Shouzhe's generation likes to call her a big girl.
"Well, that sounds like a lot of hard work. Good, good. Wang Shouzhe was full of relief, there was still one of the girls in the family who wanted to study hard, and immediately smiled and said, "The fourth uncle came to test your homework, and if you passed, there will definitely be a reward." ”
"What?"
Wang Lici's beautiful and somewhat baby-fat face was so frightened that her calves and stomach began to tremble, the fourth uncle was a big demon king who was ten times more terrible than her father Wang Shouxin, just look at the extremely miserable fate of her eldest brother Wang Zongwei.
Her heart was full of remorse, and her eyes were moist. I knew that I would be called by the fourth uncle to take the school homework today, and she should have worked hard to hold the Buddha's feet temporarily these days.
But who knew that would happen?
There was a buzz in her head......
Really.
Woe to you!
