Chapter 075: The Immortal Path Begins Again
In life, whether it is a mortal or an immortal cultivator, nine times out of ten it will be unsatisfactory.
In the past ten years, Ling Ling has done his best to help the people of Qi Province live a life of abundant food and clothing, although sometimes he doesn't know what to do. It is inevitable that there will be unsatisfactory points in the process of abolishing the old system and establishing a new system, but with the assistance of people with lofty ideals who are dedicated to serving the country and the people, the development of Qi country has been smooth sailing, if not by leaps and bounds, grain reserves have been growing day by day, food and clothing have been solved, and the population has naturally risen steadily.
Of course, it is inevitable that the efforts of the people of Qi country, now it is another harvest year, the whole country celebrates, the provinces and county governments all play a sacrifice in the hope of holding a sacrifice, Ling Ling personally presided over the worship, praying for the next ten years of wind and rain in Qi country, although I want to refuse this extravagant and wasteful activities, but I have to admit that the existing productive forces have not got rid of the dilemma of relying on the sky to eat, and the people need confidence, and after consulting with the ministers, the sacrifice ceremony was finally unanimously approved.
One day, Ling Ling took the time to go to the Shangguan house of Wu State, and went to visit Qin Qing's mother as a son-in-law, knocked on the door several times but no one answered, and muttered to himself:
"I've been in a temper for so many years!"
Then he shook his head, as in every visit, he kicked the door away, even so, he still didn't come out to greet him, Ling Ling didn't think so, and went straight to his mother-in-law's courtyard, due to the destruction of the Xuanzong of Beihai, Shangguan Yuanqing lost the protection of the sect, how arrogant he was before, how embarrassed he is now, if it weren't for Ling Ling's relationship, it is estimated that he will be liquidated, in short, the reputation is not very good, and it can be regarded as karma if there is no sect to take him in! In the future, he can only do a casual cultivation, or go home to run a business and live an ordinary life, waiting for the end of his life, the family is not only not grateful to Ling Ling, but is not welcomed, Ling Ling naturally has no good face to show them, let them repair the gate once a year.
"You're here!"
As soon as he entered the courtyard gate, Ling Ling saw his mother-in-law Liu waiting in the courtyard, so he saluted:
"The son-in-law is bothered!"
Liu motioned for Ling Ling to enter the living room, instructed the maid to serve tea, and the two sat down as guests, Ling Ling immediately asked how the situation was? asked Shangguan Yixing if he deliberately embarrassed her, after all, the old man is gone, and Qin Qing's whereabouts are unknown now, she can be regarded as an outsider in this family, and seeing Ling Ling's worry, Liu shook his head and signaled not to worry!
After the tea, Qi Liushi gestured to drink tea, and then said: "Actually, you don't have to come to see me every year, just focus on state affairs, you don't have to worry about my side of things, even if Xianggong and Qin'er are gone, I still have my mother's family, they don't dare to do anything to me, as for ......!" ”
Halfway through the words, Liu thought that he knew that the other party was afraid that he would not be able to think about it, so he said that he would come to celebrate his birthday every year, but now it is obviously redundant to say this, and turned to another topic.
"Don't talk about this, it's not easy for you to come, I've already made people ready for the banquet, you go wash your face and we'll go to the banquet! Can I eat this time before leaving? ”
"No way!" Ling Ling shook his head!
"Oh! That ......"
Liu looked a little lost, but he could understand his difficulties, and he didn't do much to keep it, after all, this matter was a bit delayed, and he wanted to talk about it at the dinner table, so it seemed that he had to find another way.
Ling Ling saw that he wanted to speak and stopped, so he asked: "Mother, what is the difficulty, but it doesn't hurt to say it, the little son-in-law will do his best!" ”
"It's okay...... Forehead! Is there something wrong with Qi Province in such a hurry? Liu asked.
"No, I came this time because in a few days there will be a big festival once every ten years in Qi Country, and it will be lively, I want to ask my mother if she wants to go out for a walk!"
As soon as Ling Ling's words fell, the Liu family didn't have time to respond, and a head poked out of the door, the person who came was Qin Qing's cousin Lianqing, Qin Qing has not been in the past few years, this girl seems to be quite filial, and from time to time she will come to chat with her aunt to relieve her boredom, ten years, the little girl has grown into a big girl, but her personality has not changed, she has always been so eccentric and naughty.
"Apprentice, meet Master!" Shangguan Lianqing walked up to Ling Ling in small steps, knelt down and saluted, making Ling Ling confused.
"Did I say I would take you as an apprentice?"
"Brother-in-law? You......! ”
Seeing Ling Ling pretending to forget, Lian Qing's words came to his mouth and swallowed back, and he didn't dare to annoy him with his dead face, so he could only kneel on the ground and look at his aunt helplessly, Liu found that Ling Ling had really forgotten about it, and helped Lian Qing remind him:
"King Qi, the day is full of opportunities, forgetting things is inevitable, but Lianqing is not out of nowhere, eight years ago you promised that if she was not married at the age of thirty-eight, you would accept her as an apprentice!"
"Eight years ago?"
Thinking about it carefully, there is really such a thing, Lianqing was just sixteen years old that year, and she had reached the age of marriage, eight years ago, she secretly ran here to learn from her teacher, Ling Ling heard that the reason was that she was uncertain, and the practice was fake and hidden marriage was true, and made a promise!
First, it can give her time to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Hongchen; The second is to make his parents dare not force marriage again, I heard that Lianqing was forced by his parents to marry the third young master of the Tang family, and that guy is a well-known hooligan in this area; The third is that in case she has a crush on other people, she can also have time to think about it.
Now that eight years have passed, Lianqing is twenty-four years old, for a girl, even if she has the help of outsiders, she has faced the world's eyes alone for eight years, it can be seen that her heart is firm, how can Ling Ling have a reason to regret it?
"Oh~ I remember, since you've kowtowed, let's continue!"
The three of them were overjoyed when they heard this, Liu took the tea that the maid had already prepared and motioned to Lianqing to serve the tea, Lianqing knelt on the ground and picked up the teacup with both hands and said:
"Master, drink tea!"
Ling Ling took a symbolic sip and said, "Get up!" In the future, you will be a disciple of the Fuxian Sect, and there is a senior sister above you, who is currently practicing in the Xuanyun Sect, if you want to see her, you can go there to find her, of course, you can also go there and practice with her, so that you can take care of it! ”
"No, no, just follow the master, I'll find time to visit the senior sister!"
When Shangguan Lianqing heard this, he transferred from the first major sect to the small sect in the countdown, it must be a hundred unwilling, so he quickly got up and said.
And Ling Ling just said casually, it stands to reason that Xiao Nuo should also follow him in the cultivation of the Fuxian Sect, but some things are afraid that they will not be clear for a while, so in order to hide people's eyes, he threw her to Xiao Ke's junior sister, fortunately, after Xiao Nuo borrowed the corpse to return to his soul, there was no problem, which can be regarded as a kind of chance!
"Haha, you! As the saying goes, the master leads the door to practice in an individual, and I don't have time to care about you in the future! There are many eyes on everything, remember that you can't have the heart of harming others, and you can't have the heart of preventing people! ”
Ling Ling took out a storage bag and handed it to Lianqing and continued: "In the Fuxian Sect, you have to communicate with the senior brothers and sisters, if there is anything you don't understand, you can come and ask me, if I can't answer one day, you can leave the school!" ”
"Thank you Master for your teachings and gifts, and I will keep them in my heart!"
After the apprenticeship was over, Lianqing just looked like he respected the teacher and valued the teaching, and immediately relied on Ling Ling to go to the festival with them to play, Ling Ling thought to himself that your aunt hadn't agreed to go yet! She had already made up her mind, so she turned her head to look at the Liu family for advice.
"Although this is a place for me, it is also a place of sadness, so it's good to go out for a walk!"
"Yay! It's still my aunt who loves me! Lianqing jumped up happily, turned around and hugged Liu, and then turned her head and asked, "When are you leaving?" ”
"Right now!" Ling Ling replied without hesitation.
"Then I'll go back and clean up!"
"Come back!" Liu called out to Lianqing and instructed: "Lian'er, go and say goodbye to your parents!" ”
As soon as he said this, Lianqing began to lose his temper and said, "I don't want it!" ”
"Lian'er, don't make trouble, they are also your biological parents, pity the hearts of parents all over the world! Think about your sister'......! ”
"Auntie, don't be sad, my sister will be fine, I know, I know all this, but these feelings seem to only exist around you and your sister, in my opinion, how can any parent ignore their daughter's wishes, and want to use their daughter to realize their ambitions? Lianqing doesn't want to see their insatiable faces! ”
Seeing that the Liu family was holding back tears, he thought that Lianqing would be obedient, but he still didn't want to tell his parents about leaving home, and the reason seemed to be reasonable, but no matter how many years passed, the connection between them would not be severed, but Ling Ling had no choice but to pretend to be red-faced, and personally went to make it clear to Lianqing's parents, Lianqing and Liu's went to pack up, and the three of them acted separately, saying that they would meet at the gate after half an hour, Ling Ling angrily kicked one door at a time to find a target, and more than a dozen doors in a row fell innocently, Ling Ling finally found Lianqing's parents, the two of them trembled with fright, it stands to reason that they shouldn't be so rude, but combined with what the husband and wife did, Ling Ling felt that this was already extraordinarily gracious.
With a snap, Ling Ling slapped the paper written in advance on the table, turned around and left without saying a word, the situation had already been clearly written on it, how could he expect that he would still be sued by Shangguan Yuanqing to Fuxian Sect in the future.
And that day in the Yunfan boat, the Liu family also had a plan to return to the immortal road, so he asked the opinions of the two, at the beginning, he only envied the mandarin duck and did not envy the immortal, resolutely gave up the road of cultivating immortals, married love, and dedicated the rest of his life to the family, but the happy time came and went in a hurry, and now he is alone.
"Mother really wants that?"
Ling Ling and Lian Qing were happy, and the maid beside them had mixed feelings in their hearts, they had served Madame's family for so many years, and they were the best acolytes she had ever seen, but now they were going to leave her one by one, it was a good thing that Madame could think about it, but her eyes were still wet.
"Hmmm! I guess it's time to let go! Liu said meaningfully.
"That's great, Auntie might as well worship Master's disciples...... Ouch! Before Lian Qing finished speaking, Ling Ling knocked her on the head.
"Girl, don't talk nonsense about Tsunatsune!"
"I'm sorry, Master, but I was wrong!"
Lianqing thought of the relationship between the two, and then thought about the fact that if the aunt really worshiped the master, she would not become the aunt's senior sister, and this generation would be messed up, so she hurriedly said humble, and when neither of them pursued it, Lianqing thought that the aunt would let the master recommend her to go to the Fuxian Sect, but unexpectedly, the aunt went to Xuanyun Sect, where her cousin had stayed, she wanted to go there to practice while waiting for her cousin to come back, Ling Ling promised her that once she ascended, she would bring Qin Qing back as soon as possible, even if Ling Ling was carrying a divine soul, and the current cultivation in the Dan period, If she waited as a mortal, she might never see her daughter again.
