Chapter 11: Join the Demon Hunting Team
Three days later, Liu Changfeng took Liu Qingyue and others back to Xiling Island.
Tianhe Peak is the highest peak of Xiling Island, but also the peak of the most strong aura, there is a big hall with red walls and white tiles on the mountainside, the plaque directly above is written with three big characters of "Tianhe Palace", the door of the hall is wide open at this moment, seven or eight monks sit in two rows, and you are discussing one sentence at a time.
On the mahogany chair in the center sat a spirited white-haired old man, dressed in a black robe, with a ruddy complexion and a somewhat serious expression, watching the clansmen hold their own opinions and argue, without saying a word.
Liu Changfeng led everyone to the front of the hall, and the black-robed old man ignored the clansmen who were still noisy, and stood up to greet him.
"Patriarch." Liu Changfeng hurriedly saluted, and the other clansmen behind him also saluted.
"Okay, we don't have that much courtesy in our family. What do you think? Is it going well? ”
Liu Wanxuan, the nineteenth of the Wanzi generation, more than 130 years old, the patriarch of the Liu clan, cultivated in the late stage of foundation building, and a second-order middle-grade refiner.
Liu Changfeng immediately said: "It's very smooth, and a few flying demon beasts that don't have long eyes were also beaten away by the twelfth brother." ”
Liu Wanxuan nodded, turned his head and said to the elders of the Liu clan who had quieted down: "Okay, Shiyu stays, the others disperse, this matter will be discussed later." ”
Everyone said goodbye and left, Liu Qingyue's grandfather Liu Shilin was also among them, and he found that his grandson had actually improved his cultivation when he went out, and his face was full of joy.
"Come, Changfeng, Changjie, and Qingyuan, a few of you are also coming in, the old man has something to ask you." After Liu Wanxuan finished speaking, he led them into the conference hall.
Liu Qingyue came to the power center of this family for the first time, and looked around with some curiosity.
"Sixth Uncle." Liu Changfeng led everyone to salute an old man in blue with a smile on his face not far away.
Liu Shiyu, the third foundation-building monk of the Liu family, the sixth in the world, 87 years old, in the middle stage of foundation building, a second-order middle-grade alchemist.
"Changfeng, you sit too. Changjie, tell the old man in detail what happened in Hongmeifang City. You spoke vaguely in the notes, and the old man is still confused. ”
As a newly promoted foundation building monk and the future pillar of the family, Liu Changfeng sat down with the two elders.
Liu Changjie, as a monk, of course, has a good memory, and quickly talked in detail about what happened these days, when mentioning Liu Qingxue's recklessness, Liu Wanxuan shook his head a little helplessly, and when he mentioned the temptation of the Xiao family, a cold light flashed in his eyes.
After Liu Changjie finished speaking, Liu Wanxuan snorted coldly and said: "The Thousand Puppet Sect is enough, our Liu family can't afford to provoke it, and his Xiao family also wants to come and get a piece of the pie, but it's not so easy." Xiao Yulong, that old guy is two generations older than the old man, his longevity is about to end, his qi and blood are weak, and he can't be the old man's opponent. ”
Xiao Yulong is the current patriarch of the Xiao family and the only monk in the late stage of foundation building, but he is nearly two hundred years old, and he has reached the limit, and he may fall at any time.
Liu Shiyu on the side said: "Their Xiao family has only three foundations, and there is a fault line in the replacement of the old and the new, it is difficult to protect themselves, and they dare to provoke our Liu family, will they have joined forces with the Yang family or the Yu family?" ”
Liu Wanxuan shook his head: "Their Xiao family has not had a new foundation building monk for decades, the Yu family and the Yang family are in full swing, Xiao Yulong's old guy has been cautious all his life, he will never dare to lure a wolf into the house." What's more, they are just guessing now, and they don't know what chance Qingxue has gotten, and when we don't admit it, they can't help it. I'm really worried about the Thousand Puppet Sect. ”
Liu Qingru suddenly said: "Patriarch, I am willing to marry into the Thousand Puppet Sect, so that they will not be suspicious of our Liu family." ”
"Third sister, what nonsense are you talking about?" Liu Qingyue was terrified when he heard this.
People's hearts are unpredictable, this Chu Qian looked at Guangfeng Jiyue, in case he was actually a romantic person, just good at disguise, then the third sister's life would be ruined.
Liu Wanxuan smiled loudly, looked at Liu Qingru lovingly, and said, "What stupid things are you talking about?" I still want to be embarrassed, old man, our Liu family has been a family for more than 300 years, and we have never done anything to sell women for glory. ”
Take 10,000 steps back and say that the person who is most likely to build the foundation of the Liu family now is Liu Qingru's mother, Liu Changyun, and everyone must take into account her feelings.
"But......" Liu Qingru looked at everyone, not knowing what to say for a while, a little moved and a little uncomfortable.
To be too beautiful is sometimes a burden for a female monk, and only a person like Liu Qingxue who has a sword in his heart can do it.
Liu Shiyu smiled and quipped: "Qingru, you are one of the best juniors of our Liu family, and in the future, you will be like your mother, recruit a husband who is as close as your father, stay in the clan, and work hard for our Liu family for the rest of your life." ”
Liu Changfeng also expressed his attitude: "Qingru, you have stayed in the clan for the past two years to cultivate with peace of mind, and you are not allowed to think nonsense. When it really comes to the day when Chu Gan comes to ask for a kiss, the elders will also find a way. If you don't want to get married, no one can force you. ”
Liu Wanxuan waved his hand and said: "Changjie, you have been running outside all the year round, you have a wide range of contacts, find more people to ask, whether it is a casual cultivator, a family monk, it is best to find two outer disciples of the Thousand Puppet Sect, and inquire about this Chu Qian's personality, if you are really a righteous gentleman, it will not be a good fate." ”
Liu Changjie nodded: "Okay, patriarch." ”
Liu Qingyue said with some concern: "Patriarch, if Xiao Lingyang of the Xiao family comes to our Liu family before Chu Qian, what can I do?" ”
Liu Wanxuan looked disdainful and said, "That's right, the old man has been staying on the island for more than 30 years to retreat, and his hands are itching, so I will ask them to learn from the Xiao family." ”
Liu Shiyu sighed and said, "If the Xiao family really dares to come to the door to propose marriage, it will be a tear of the face, and the friendship of the ancestors will be gone." ”
Liu Wanxuan shook his head and said, "Hmph! Xiao Mingze relied on himself to be a foundation building monk, and when he instructed his clan to find Changjie and them to tempt, did he take into account the friendship between our two ancestors? If Changfeng hadn't arrived in time, his Xiao family would have been afraid that I, an old man, would have gone crazy, and Xiao Mingze would have already taken action against Changjie and them. If we had to use the strength of Liu Tianhe's ancestor to suppress the Ye family back then, how could the Xiao family take the initiative to come to our Liu family to cooperate? Changfeng, you will go to Baihua Island in two days, Wu Ronghe of the Wu family has built a foundation, and he wants to hold a foundation building banquet, and the post was sent the day before yesterday. ”
Liu Changfeng nodded.
"Qingyue, you have also practiced the fifth layer of qi, do you want to go to your twelfth uncle's demon hunting team to exercise?" Liu Wanxuan's gaze suddenly turned to Liu Qingyue.
Liu Qingyue immediately said: "I think, I have wanted to go for a long time, but my previous cultivation was not enough, and Uncle Twelve looked down on me." ”
According to the Liu family's family rules, except for a few foundation building seeds that were focused on cultivating, all other monks who had reached the age of 20 or cultivated to reach the fifth level of Qi cultivation had to go out to help the family do things.
Everyone smiled, Liu Changjie stretched out his hand and patted Liu Qingyue's shoulder, and said, "Prepare well tonight, ask your grandfather for more pills, and the fourth sister will also go there, bring more talismans, we will leave early tomorrow morning." ”
"Uncle Twelve, I also want to join the demon hunting team." Liu Qingyuan, who was silent when he entered the main hall, suddenly said.
"Qingyuan, your situation is different from Qingyue, I have my own arrangements for the old man." Liu Wanxuan looked at him with a little meaning.
Hearing this, Liu Qingyuan stopped insisting.
"Qingru, Qingxue, you two are not allowed to leave the island for three years."
Xiling Shuangjiao has infinite scenery in front of outsiders, and he is also very well-behaved in the face of the patriarch.
"Qingru, when you go back later, call your mother to come to me, Changjie, you can stay for a while, and the others will disperse."
