Chapter 20: What is a Family?
On the morning of spring, the temperature on the top of Fangmu Mountain was very low, and the mountains were wet all over the mountain, and one after another dew drops fell and smashed on the leaves, on the grass, and on the ground.
Lin Shiming stood in a corner of the mountain, looking down the mountain, only to see a sea of clouds spreading, rolling eastward.
To the east, a touch of the early sun, rising from the sky, is breaking through the sea of clouds, and it is magnificent.
This is the second day that Lin Shiming has returned to Fangmu Mountain, and he has been notified to wait here.
In the distance, a spirit rune flew in, turned into firelight, and under the twist of the spiritual power, it became a string of words.
"Come to the Blue Lotus Pond quickly, the old patriarch will summon you!"
Lin Shiming didn't dare to delay, attached a light body technique to his feet, and walked towards the bluestone path towards a higher place on the mountain.
At the line of pavilions, a middle-aged man in a green shirt was waiting for him, it was the second elder Lin Yuqi.
"The old patriarch summoned you next to the Blue Lotus Pond, don't let him wait for a long time!"
"Okay, second grandfather!" Lin Shiming nodded, then crossed the pavilion and continued walking.
The further he went, the aura that Lin Shiming felt became thicker and thicker, Fangmu Mountain was a third-order spiritual vein, and the Qinglian Spiritual Pool was derived from a spiritual vein, so the aura was the thickest place in the entire Fangmu Mountain.
Soon, Lin Shiming saw a twenty-meter-square spiritual pool, compared to the spiritual pond in Peach Blossom Valley, the spiritual pool of this Fangmu Mountain was larger, and the spiritual mist was thicker, which had the immediate sense of a fairyland on earth.
In the center of the spiritual pool, lush lotus leaves float on the surface of the spiritual pool.
Next to the lotus pond, there is also a gazebo.
I saw a young man fishing in the pavilion.
It's just strange that the young man's hair is as pale as snow!
"Are you a descendant of Houyuan?" When the young man saw Lin Shiming coming, he lifted the fishing rod, flipped it over, and put it in the storage bag.
"Back to the Seventh Uncle Ancestor! Shiming exactly! Lin Shiming also understood at this time that the person in front of him, who seemed to be almost the same age as him, turned out to be the old patriarch of the Lin family, Lin Xianzhi.
It looks far better than the rumored state.
"Come and sit!" After Lin Xianzhi finished speaking, he took the lead in sitting at a stone table in the pavilion.
There is a chessboard on the stone table, and the white pieces on the chessboard are obviously crushed by the black pieces, and the black pieces are still eating away at the white pieces step by step.
Lin Shiming walked over and sat in another seat according to Lin Xianzhi's arrangement.
In his mind, he was also thinking about letting himself play chess.
You can let yourself play chess, and the sunspots will continue to eat.
"Shiming, what do you think is a family?" Lin Xianzhi was the first to speak, and what he said was not a chess piece on the chessboard.
When Lin Shiming heard this, he was also stunned for a moment.
What is a family?
Lin Shiming really couldn't answer this sentence for a while.
Immortal cultivators often say, but ask for immortal fate, don't ask about the future.
A word is to seek up and down! It is to dare to be the first, to dare to change the sun and the moon to a new sky, to dare to fight with the sky, and to dare to fight with the earth!
In that case, how can we take into account whether the road ahead is a broad road or thorns and mud.
And what about the family? Lin Shiming's heart was in a mess, and he couldn't find a correct answer at all.
If you think about it, are the family principles you thought before really correct?
Just as a person has to have a goal, what is the goal of being a family monk?
"Don't worry, you can think about it more, look at this white chess, because there is no certainty of victory, so he has not fought back! On the contrary, less and less are being eaten! Seeing Lin Shiming's hesitation, Lin Xianzhi continued to speak.
Lin Shiming once again focused on the chessboard, and found that the most important combat power of white chess was still preserved, and what was lost was only the side branches.
However, it will not be easy to succeed in the counterattack, after all, the difference in strength between white and black is still there.
Lin Shiming couldn't help but think of the Lin family, the Lin family has been weakened from the Zifu family for so many years, if there is no one behind to dominate, how can it be?
After all, the Lin family has the Xuan-level Purple Mansion Exercises, and the highest can be cultivated to the Purple Mansion realm.
I thought of the Seventh Uncle Ancestor again, who had been suppressed and had been healing.
The Seventh Uncle Ancestor is waiting for his injury to return to the top, and the Lin family is also waiting, waiting for a chance to rise, waiting for an opportunity to turn the situation around.
Then the meaning of the Seventh Uncle Ancestor is obvious.
The Lin family has enemies, and they are still very strong, and they are asking Lin Shiming about his feelings and dependence on the family.
Of course, this also means that Lin Shiming is gradually moving up to the top of the Lin family and towards management.
In the family of cultivating immortals, there are always some children of the family who are obsessed with the path of cultivating immortals, feeling that the family will drag them down, and then go out alone.
There are three thousand fairy roads, each taking one.
This is not uncommon, and there was even a Heavenly Spirit Root Monk who left after helping the family to become the Purple Mansion Family, and never appeared again under the pretext of consummation of cause and effect.
This is too chilling for a family that has done its best to cultivate a genius, but it is also powerless!
"Back to the seventh uncle ancestor, Shiming is dull, he can only understand the family as the root, I was born here, raised here, and the family is like my Dao heart!"
"The family is prosperous, I am prosperous, the family is declining, I am declining!"
"So Shi Ming is willing to turn into a family sword and kill all enemies!" Lin Shiming opened his mouth word by word.
And it was also at this moment that his concept of family became much clearer.
That's right, as a family monk, he has been with the family since he was born, and if he wants to reach the end of the real immortal road, he can't escape the word family.
"Hmmm! Much better than your father's answer. Lin Xianzhi nodded, and said again randomly:
"You should have guessed that our Lin family has a powerful enemy, the Zifu family!"
"I was also injured by those people, and was poisoned, although in the past thirty years, I have relied on the spiritual lotus root and lotus seeds of the Qinglian Spirit Pool to suppress and dissolve most of it, but the meridians of the whole body have been lost and blocked by most of them, and my cultivation has even begun to regress, and it is not good to do it!"
"Fortunately, the second-order top-grade spirit wine you brought back this time is just right to treat dark injuries, adjust the meridians, and reconcile the aura, and it is estimated that it won't be long before you can restore your combat power in the middle stage of foundation building."
"When I called you over, I mainly asked what reward you wanted?"
"Back to the seventh uncle, this time to find the spirit wine, it is the whole family, Shiming just contributed a little bit of Weibo power to it, and he didn't dare to ask for the award." Lin Shiming waved his hand again and again.
The family's big victory this time, first the elders did their best, and then the uncle died, he didn't dare to take credit.
He couldn't do that.
"The family should have rewards and punishments, since you don't say it, I'll give you a second-order high-grade flying sword!" Lin Xianzhi didn't wait for Lin Shiming to answer, he directly shook his hand, and a dark green sword appeared in Lin Shiming's hand.
"This sword is called the Molian Sword, which was used by me when I was young, and now it is a commemorative meaning for me, so I will give it to you! I hope you will make persistent efforts and reach new heights! ”
"In addition, you can cultivate here and break through the sixth layer of Qi training!"
"Seventh Uncle Xie Ancestor!" Lin Shiming hurriedly waved his hand to thank him, and he was also very happy about the old patriarch's proposal to break through here.
You must know that next to this spirit pool is a third-order spirit pool, and breaking through in this cultivation is not only twice as fast, but also easier to consolidate your cultivation.
But before that, Lin Shiming still has two things to ask.
"Seventh Uncle Ancestor, Shi Ming doesn't know anything, I don't know if I can ask Seventh Uncle Ancestor to help palm my eyes." Lin Shiming took out the stone of the magical pavilion door, he originally wanted to go to the scripture floor of the Treasure Pavilion to rummage through this thing, but now that this experienced Seventh Uncle Ancestor was here, it was naturally faster for him to show him.
"Huh!" Lin Xianzhi turned his hand, and when he saw it, he was obviously frightened by the absorption of the stone's divine sense.
