Chapter 18: The Grass of Life and the Dead Wood Bloom Again
Today's Zizhu Town is very lively, with nearly 1,000 people standing in the square of Nuoda, and mercenaries with guard tasks standing all around.
In the center of the square stood about a hundred people, some of them were old and young, men and women, most of them had snow-white beards, and few were children as young as five or six years old, but they were all in good spirits and solemn, as if they were welcoming some important event.
Three firecrackers rang off, and about 20 people dressed in different clothes ushered in the center of the square, waving to the people around them to deliberately.
After repeated firecrackers, about ten people appeared in the middle of the square, and they went one floor further to the inside.
After three more sounds, an old man with a reddish-brown beard, looking like he was in his fifties, kept waving his hands around.
"After so many years, it's still good for this pomp!"
About fifty meters away from the center of the square, it can be regarded as a high-rise building, this is the He family's compound, the reddish-brown old man lives here, he is the mayor of Zizhu Town, that is, He Jiongyang's uncle, Han Jiang's own uncle.
There are two people sitting in the center of the roof of the He family's compound, one old and one young, the young Qin Mu, and the old one doesn't know each other.
It was the old man sitting cross-legged who spoke, and he looked like the mayor of the town, especially the brown beard.
"Uncle Han, you have a prejudice against the mayor!" Qin Mu said.
"It's not a prejudice, it's just a disagreement," the old man turned pale and coughed a few times, "My younger brother, when he was young, liked to be in the limelight, and now that he is a lot older, he still has such a good pomp and circumstance, and he lives quite a real life!"
This old man is none other than Han Jiang's father, originally Qin Mu didn't plan to come over to participate in this so-called Xuan Immortal Conference, but when he had breakfast with the old man Uncle Long and walked back after breakfast in the Six Banyan Temple, he was dragged over by the two of them.
I was afraid that my name as the "plague god" would be too loud and disturb the scene of the Xuanxian Conference, so I had to come to the roof of the mayor.
Maybe it's because of Han Jiang, Qin Mu and the mayor's brother are already old friends.
What Han Ying said last time also made sense, Qin Mu was indeed deliberately alienating Han Jiang during this period of time, Han Jiang had already wanted to see him many times in a row, and he avoided it in advance. But today is different, maybe after today, he and Han Jiang may not be able to meet if they want to meet.
Han Jiang's Snow Dragon Index is very high, and she will definitely be sent away for further study, and the entire Han family will no longer agree to her and Qin Mu together.
Once a certain index is reached, the Star Palace can be opened by the cultivation academy or the cultivator, and thus embark on the path of cultivation.
The Snow Dragon Index is an important parameter to test whether a person can go to the path of cultivation, and with the entire index, it is proved that there is often a good future, not to mention a good school in Longmu City, even in those cultivation sects, the Snow Dragon Index will add a lot of points.
There were also such examples in the past, and the top three were directly selected by the Xiuzhen sect.
On the other hand, people who open the Star Palace do not necessarily have the Snow Dragon Index.
In a certain sense, the Snow Dragon Index represents a high-level level, and it also means that you can go further on the road of cultivation in the future.
Cultivation is a broad road for the villagers of Zizhu Village, and even those who have been assigned to sin, such as Chen Bo, are also a shortcut to freedom, and once they have achieved cultivation, their past crimes will be written off.
Surely their time was an era of martial arts.
After thinking about it, Qin Mu still came here today to see Han Jiang for the last time, no matter what, he still had to take a look at his old friend.
At the same time, the Qin family of the Lanyu Continent of the Nine Star Blocks of the Blue Yu Star was holding a closed-door meeting with their high-level leaders.
There was an old man sitting on the top seat, he looked very ordinary, but the star yuan power in his body automatically flowed, and no one dared to underestimate him.
There were more than a dozen people sitting below, all of them were the backbone figures of the Qin family, three Dharma protectors, four elders, and five hermit elites in the family.
Sitting on top was Qin Yuanlie, the patriarch of the Qin family, and when everyone was seated, he got up and dressed and respectfully bowed to everyone.
"Summoning all the elders of the family to come today, there is really a piece of news that I dare not report!"
"What is the big thing, and Xiao Liezi can't make his own decisions?" said an elder whose hair was about to fall out.
"Don't interrupt, little Liezi, you go on!" said another old man whose teeth were almost gone, in a slurred tone.
"You two will be quiet, see what Xiao Liezi says!" said another elder, she was a woman, and her words were quite weighty, and the two of them immediately stopped, "Xiao Liezi, you go on, there must be a big deal to recruit us old people who are about to enter the earth." ”
"The stakes are so important that I have to report it!" Qin Yuanlie, the patriarch of the Qin family, looked around and briefly recounted one thing.
"In the past two days, the guards guarding our clan's Star Pavilion have repeatedly reported that a withered grass of life has actually grown new shoots on its own, and its branches are luxuriant, almost changing every day. It was only a few days ago that there was vitality, yesterday it actually grew new shoots, and today it actually grew three green leaves again, and the vitality of this green shoot is so strong that almost the traces of life can be seen!"
After Qin Yuanlie announced such a bombing news, the following suddenly boiled like hot water in a boiling pot.
"The grass and dead trees of life are spring, and there is not necessarily one in a thousand years!"
"It's recorded in the family letter, but it's a wild history that doesn't exist, and it's not worth believing at all!"
"Did the guardian report be wrong?"
"Xiao Liezi, have you seen it yourself?"
"Xiao Liezi, can't you joke about this?"
There are a lot of words, but no one believes them, and for them, the dead wood is tantamount to a legend of the Arabian Nights.
Qin Yuanlie couldn't cry or laugh, how could these hardcore characters not have a straight shape one by one, and what was even more annoying was that the two of them couldn't stop laughing there, talking and laughing about their own affairs, as if they were not interested in the matter of the dead wood in spring.
"Fellow Ancestors, this kind of thing gives Yuan Lie a hundred guts, and Yuan Lie doesn't dare to lie and joke," Qin Yuanlie gritted his teeth and continued, "Yuan Lie didn't believe it at first, but today I went to check this Life Grass in person. His name is Qin Mu, and he is a side branch of our clan, and a few years ago, his life grass withered for no reason, and was almost thrown away by us. ”
"This Qin Mu, where is he now?" asked the female elder who spoke with weight, and it could be seen that she was quite excited.
He ...... He ......"
He ...... What is he? Say it!"
"Because the Star Palace has never been opened, and there is no parameter of the snow dragon in his blood," Speaking of this, Qin Yuanlie looked at the female elder, and for a moment he was a little difficult to speak, "So he was assigned by me, but what I never expected was that his life grass turned out to be dead in spring, and after many years, it actually had vitality, and it automatically sprouted new sprouts and green leaves!"
"You're so confused!"
"I said a long time ago, this family rule is not reasonable at all, in my opinion, let's abolish it quickly!"
Before he finished speaking, he immediately shut up, because the eyes of the other people were almost killing him.
"You didn't do anything wrong, it's not your fault!" or the female elder's words, "For the sake of our clan, pure blood is understandable!"
"Now I'll send someone to bring Qin Mu back immediately!" Qin Yuanlie was very embarrassed, if it was true, he would be too derelict in his duties.
"Don't worry!" said one of the Dharma protectors who had been silent, "I once heard that there was a dead wood in spring, and it seemed that it would not be long before it withered and died, this is like a return to the light at the end of life, just for a while, and other families have also had it!"
"And what if it's not a return to the light?" said the other hand, twisting his beard and tilting his head.
"Tilt your head, that's so much in case," this one directly revealed the short and unceremoniously, "I think it's better to take it back!"
"What do you know about your baby-faced other than reciting a few lines of poetry?"
"You ......"
Talking and talking, they were about to quarrel, and these people were finally scolded by the female elder, and she took the lead and finally decided to observe the situation.
More people tend to believe that Qin Mu is just a moment back.
