Chapter 16: The Acquired Spiritual Root
"Haha, it's still my fourth brother who has a big face." The Third Elder smiled.
"Shen boy, you can call the fourth grandfather, in the future, you have this backer, and you can walk sideways in Fengcheng." The third elder said to Shen Li.
Shen Li took over the conversation, and without hesitation, he directly and respectfully shouted, "Fourth grandfather." ”
"Shen boy, have you ever eaten a golden dragon crucian carp?" The four elders suddenly looked at Shen Li carefully.
"What's wrong? Is there anything wrong with me giving him food? The Third Elder said.
Shen Li was stunned.
"There's nothing wrong, third brother, I didn't mean that, this golden dragon crucian carp, our family has to eat dozens of them a year, and I haven't seen anyone have any effect, this kid ate it once, and it was a miracle!" The four elders touched Shen Li's head with their hands, and then touched Shen Li's shoulders and arms, looking back and forth left and right.
"Could it be that legend or is it true?" The three elders said.
"I didn't believe it originally, but now that I believe it, this kid has awakened the acquired spiritual root." The four elders said.
……
"Miracles, what miracles, I have eaten golden dragon carp since I was a child, and I have eaten it for more than 80 years, and I have not eaten anything famous, and I am still a mortal. You're in luck! The third elder said to Shen Li excitedly.
"Shen Xiaozi has thanked the third grandfather and the fourth grandfather here." Shen Li saluted.
Shen Li's expression pretended not to be shocked, but in fact, his heart was already surging.
"No thanks, it's your luck and your blessing, congratulations!" The fourth elder patted Shen Li's shoulder with his heavy palm.
"Congratulations, Shen boy, you will be an immortal cultivator in the future. I'm really envious of your third grandfather and me. The Third Elder said.
Shen Li thought to himself: "My bullshit luck, I have never won a lottery ticket in my previous life, and this time I have won the jackpot." ”
"The two grandfathers can be described as the grace of reinvention in the next generation, if Shen Li achieves something in cultivation, he will definitely repay the two grandfathers." Shen Li said.
"Although you have awakened the acquired spiritual root, you are still slightly inferior to the innate spiritual root, after all, you are so old, and the innate spiritual root of others has been cultivating since childhood, I hope you can be the latecomer." The four elders said.
"Fourth Grandfather, I will cultivate diligently." Shen Li said firmly.
"Well done, young man, which sect are you going to worship?" The four elders said.
"Two grandfathers, how is Qingyunmen?" Shen Li asked respectfully.
"Very good, very good, now even the three-year-old children on the street know that Qingyunmen is the strongest sect in the Eastern Regions." The three elders said.
"Third brother, I didn't say you, you just have that bit of knowledge, where is Qingyunmen? I know that I just rely on more people to bully fewer people, and I will beat them up if I pick them out and do it alone. Xiao Shen, you can consider the second major sect in the Eastern Regions, Tiangang Sect, which is a body refining stream, with few people but a united heart, unlike the Qingyunmen gang who are intrigued all day long. The fourth elder gave the third elder a blank look and said.
"You kid has suffered the loss of Qingyunmen, and you must not say that Qingyunmen is good." The three elders replied.
"Two grandfathers, I am seventeen years old this year, eighteen years old, although I want to worship, are people still willing to want me?" Shen Li asked you weakly.
"Tiangang Sect's words are a little difficult." The four elders said.
"It's okay, Qingyunmen doesn't have so many rules, when the time comes, just go to the back door and dredge up the relationship." The three elders said.
"Third brother, is it really good for you to do this?" The four elders said.
"Isn't that a common thing? It's not too early, let's go, Fengming Tower to eat. The Third Elder smiled.
The three of them came to Fengming Tower in the luxurious carriage of Xiao Ziqi, and after getting off the car, the shopkeeper of Fengming Tower personally greeted each other and guided everyone to the luxurious private room on the second floor, the third elder and the fourth elder took their seats first, Shen Li and the third elder said a word, and followed the servants of the Xiao family to wait for Father Shen and Liu Lin in the hall of Fengming Building.
Shen Li waited for a long time, and Shen Wande and Liu Lin arrived.
Shen Li thought to himself: "Fortunately, my father and Liu Lin arrived first, and they didn't meet the hunchbacked old man, if the enemy meets, it will be troublesome to fight." ”
Shen Li just stepped forward to greet his father and Liu Lin, and a strong man in a golden crown got down from a carriage behind, Shen Li looked at the carriage, and it was none other than someone else who got off after the strong man in a gorgeous costume, it was Sima Xiang, an alchemist who had slept in the Shen family's firewood room.
"Uncle, suppress your emotions and hurt yourself with anger." The strong man in Chinese clothes said.
"Humph!" Sima Xiang seemed to be a little angry, and flicked his wide sleeves.
When the servants of the Xiao family and the hotel shopkeeper went out to greet Sima Lang and Sima Xiang, Shen Li led Shen Wande and Liu Lin upstairs in a hurry, for fear of fighting.
As soon as the father and son of the Shen family and Liu Lin entered the private room, they were politely saluting the third and fourth elders, and the uncle and nephew of the Sima family came in under the guidance of the servant.
When Sima Xiang saw Liu Lin, he couldn't suppress his anger, and he didn't care who was there, so he scolded: "Liu Lin is a despicable child, you actually have the courage to send it to the door!" ”
"Sima Xiang, take the ring and return it to you, the things inside are untouched." Liu Lin threw a ring at Sima Xiang, and after Sima Xiang caught the ring, he glared at Liu Lin.
"Alright, let's sit down." The fourth elder said in a deep voice.
After everyone took their seats, the three elders said: "The so-called grievances should be resolved rather than settled, I, Xiao Laosan, represent the Xiao family, to mediate the misunderstanding between the two parties." ”
"Is this called a misunderstanding? Xiao Laosan, this Chuyun Empire dog official named Liu Lin almost killed the old man! How are you going to mediate? Sima Xiang was very excited when he heard the word "misunderstanding".
"My third brother said it was a misunderstanding, that's a misunderstanding!"
The words that the four elders said to Uncle Sima and his nephew were mixed with the coercion of the Yuan Infant Period.
"Misunderstanding! Misunderstand! It's a misunderstanding at all! Well? Brother-in-law? Sima Lang withstood the pressure of the Yuan Infant Period and hurriedly played a round.
"Xiao Laosi, your fists are hard, you said it was a misunderstanding, it's okay!" Beads of sweat on Sima Xiang's head were the size of beans.
"Brother Sima, since it's a misunderstanding, don't be so excited, the Shen family in Wancheng and the government of the Chuyun Empire are also very guilty about misjudging you as a robber, they made a mistake, they want to compensate you for your losses, how much compensation do you think is appropriate?" The three elders said.
"Reparations? To put it lightly, I am a dignified alchemist, how can I be short of money? I almost lost my life, can they pay for the life of the alchemist? Sima Xiang said.
"Sima Xiang, look at how old you are, my third brother respects you for three points, and Hugh gives me an inch! I'll beat you in the stomach! The four elders glared at Sima Xiang.
When Sima Xiang saw the four elders glaring at him, he didn't dare to continue.
"I represent the Shen family, Liu Lin represents the government, and the two of us have made a special trip to apologize to Senior Sima, hoping that Senior Sima will not remember the villain." Shen Wande's face was serious, and he got up and bowed to Sima Xiang.
Although Liu Lin had disdain on his face, he also bowed to Sima Xiang along with Shen Wande.
"The Shen family is still like a human saying, after all, it was my fault to enter the Shen family by mistake, and it is reasonable for your Shen family to send me to the official mansion. But Liu Lin, as an official, take my precepts, and kill people for money, what is the explanation? ”
"My willow forest is rotten, what do you say is appropriate?" Liu Lin felt that since he was at a loss, it was better to just put it up.
