Chapter 4 The True Persons of the Five Mountains
In the depths of the main hall, there are several ancestors who have made outstanding contributions since the Bai family established themselves in the Black Mountain Range, and there are twenty-four arm-thick immortal candles erected on both sides, and the tablets reflected by the dim candlelight flickered and flickered.
The middle-aged man sitting in the center of the hall is Bai Xianzhong, the patriarch of the Bai family, who cultivated in the early days of foundation building, and has been in charge of the family for 20 years, and his reputation has become more and more prestigious, and it can be said that he has supported the Bai family.
Four men and one woman on both sides, all monks in the late stage of Qi refining, are in charge of the foundation of the Bai family, and are the five elders of the clan.
Further down, according to the functions of each ministry and the level of cultivation, there are many columns, and the crowd is crowded with black and oppressive, and the monks of the Bai family who are currently in the clan land are basically all present, and the atmosphere of the audience is quiet and solemn.
Bai Zichen and Bai Ying stood at the back, they were short, and they could only see the shoulders of the adults in front of them when they stood on tiptoe.
"Uncle seems to be in the second row, it seems that his status in the clan is okay, after all, he is only one step away from the late stage of qi refining, and once he breaks through, he will be the main combat force in the clan."
For the age of the two of them, if it weren't for the particularity of the whole clan assembly, as long as the Bai family monks could be present regardless of age and cultivation, they would not be qualified to enter this council hall at all. But it's just a decoration, no matter how much the whole clan is in the discussion, it will not be the turn of two teenage children to interject, and the attention of the rest of the people is not on them.
The white fat man stretched out his head and stretched out his brain, looking very excited, and lowered his voice: "Brother Chen, have you heard what the patriarch said, even the Qingfeng Gate has confirmed that it is the cave of the real people of Wuyue, our Bai family will be able to dig up one or two treasures this time, but it will be developed, maybe in a few years, there will be a place in the five major immortal cultivation families!" ”
Chen Taige, the real person of Wuyue, was known as the first loose cultivator in Mizhou three hundred years ago, and was a late Jindan monk who was expected to impact the Yuanying realm, and had a great reputation in the entire Liang Kingdom.
After returning to his hometown of Montenegro County in his twilight years, he was even more overwhelmed by Qingfengmen, after all, although the Taishang Elder in the door was also a Jindan real person, he was far from being able to do so in front of Chen Taige, the first cultivator in Mizhou.
Chen Taige's natal magic weapon is a set of heavy magic weapons in the shape of five mountain peaks, and his title is also derived from this, and the five peaks come out together, and countless monks have died under this magic weapon.
However, this real person does not seem to have a mantle heir, and the people who followed him after sitting down quickly dispersed, but several magic weapons, including Wuyue Divine Peak, were nowhere to be found.
At that time, some people speculated that Wuyue Zhenren also had a real treasure cave mansion in the shadows, and there was a treasure hunt craze within a hundred years after his death. After a long time, it slowly faded.
Bai Zichen carefully recalled the record of the real people of Wuyue in the Black Mountain County Chronicle, and couldn't help but be fascinated.
"The matter of Wuyue Zhenren Cave Mansion, the key is to see the attitude of Qingfeng Gate, if they are willing to share a sip of soup with us, it is naturally good, but if they want to monopolize this opportunity and exclude all the immortal cultivation families, even if our Bai family tries their best, I am afraid that we can only lose our wife and lose our soldiers."
The Great Elder Bai Shoushun, who had white hair but a ruddy complexion, was angry like Hong Zhong, he was not only a Great Perfection cultivator of Qi Refining, but also a high rank in the clan, "Honggu, your Jiang Liang is from the Qingfeng Sect, and the master holds the position of Elder of the Fu Palace, has he heard the news from the sect, what are those big people planning?" ”
In Montenegro County, Qingfeng Sect is the same, occupying the best and most resources, and has a faint confrontation with the rest of the immortal cultivation families.
But after so many years, you have long had me, and I have you.
Like the Bai family, there are more than ten disciples who have worshiped the sect from generation to generation, and the Taoist companion of Elder Honggu was also a disciple of the inner sect of Qingfeng Sect.
"Brother Liang passed the book yesterday, and the opinion of several elders of Qingfeng Sect is to unite with several immortal cultivation families, first encircle the Wuyue True Cave Mansion and drive away the scattered cultivators, and then slowly develop the ......."
The only woman among the five elders was a middle-aged beautiful woman, with a plump figure and a slight hint of wind and frost in the corners of her eyes, and she said slowly after a moment of silence.
"It's good to have the opportunity to cooperate, our family pays a lot of resources to Qingfeng Gate every year, and we respond positively to any orders, so we shouldn't be left behind this time."
"It's hard to say, those five families are strong, if they really want to join forces, even Qingfeng Sect has a little headache, and they will definitely take care of their ideas."
said that it was a meeting of the whole clan, but in fact, it was a discussion between the five elders, and occasionally Bai Xianzhong would say a sentence, and everyone immediately stopped listening and waited for him to finish before continuing the discussion. No matter what the identity of the rest of the clansmen, unless they were named by the elders, none of them dared to speak without permission.
Bai Zichen hid at the back, leaning on a pillar and listening with relish, just reading books, how can you know that there are so many doorways in Montenegro County and his own clan, many of which are places that need to be paid attention to when walking in the immortal cultivation world in the future.
“…… Then it's decided, tomorrow Honggu and Bai Lu will take a team of clansmen to set off with me to the Wuyue Zhenren Cave Mansion, and the affairs of the clan will be handed over to the Great Elder. In addition, the patrol team cheered me up, sent more manpower, increased the number of patrols, and when necessary, I could make thunder means, and I would gather in the near future, so as not to have a long-sighted robbery and repair to come to my Bai family. ”
With the decision of the patriarch Bai Xianzhong, the next action of the Bai family was decided.
Leaving a foundation building monk, two elders and a team of elite family monks at once will inevitably make the internal strength of the Bai family a lot empty, Bai Zichen suddenly felt that the clan was not as safe as he imagined, and the original plan for steady development might have to be changed, and he was still too weak.
A boy who has just succeeded in refining qi has not yet learned any spells, and he has no means to save his life, even if a few adult strong men are armed, they can threaten him.
……
"Chen'er, here are five Vajra talismans, five fireball talismans, and five Shenxing talismans, I have already taught you the specific methods of use last night, you must remember them well."
Bai Jiu'an rubbed Bai Zichen's head and said earnestly, "Uncle is not at home during this time, don't run around, live on Qingfeng Cliff and live with Bai Ying and their family, Fufengling will not go back for the time being." ”
"Uncle, I see." Bai Zichen nodded honestly.
As soon as the clan meeting dispersed yesterday, Bai Jiu'an received a notice that he was selected into a team of twelve people and went to the Wuyue Zhenren Cave Mansion with the patriarch.
The family's order cannot be violated, not to mention that there are big risks in it, and it is naturally accompanied by big opportunities.
He is a four-spirit root cultivator, and he is only less than ten years away from the window of fifty-year-old qi and blood decay, if he still wants to rush to the foundation building period, how can he have a chance if he doesn't fight for his life.
But his little nephew, who has just embarked on the path of immortals, can rest assured, the Bai family has arranged a large array with Han Xiufeng as the center, but the edge area only has the basic function of early warning and blinding, and only the formation within the main peak can really protect and kill the enemy.
After thinking about it, he simply entrusted Bai Zichen to Bai Ying's parents, both of them were mid-stage Qi refining cultivators, and they really had the power to protect themselves in case of robbery, and the family patrol could arrive with a slight delay.
At the same time, in order to let his little nephew have some self-preservation, he stuffed a bunch of talismans over.
It is said that the human affection in the immortal cultivation world is weak, and Taoist friends, clansmen, and even Taoist couples, masters and apprentices can betray in front of interests, but Bai Zichen still felt the real care from his uncle.
After explaining the matter and greeting Bai Ying's parents, Bai Jiuan left in a hurry, looking at his back, Bai Zichen's heart was a little heavy.
It is the worry about the uncertain future of his uncle's trip, the anxiety of his own low cultivation, and the confusion about the fate of the Bai family in the midst of turmoil.
Once a child of a family like him loses the protection of his family, he will be like the lowest level of casual cultivation in the future, drifting through wind and rain and having no fixed place to live.
