Chapter 20: The Decision to Retreat
Lu Mingchao stopped at the back mountain, looked at the two family monks guarding the back mountain, and did not show up.
Some time ago, when she heard from her eldest brother that her father had woken up, she wanted to come.
But she kept it in check.
My father is still recuperating from his injuries, and I heard that his injuries have not improved, but he has just woken up, and he still needs to be closed and unable to get out.
Therefore, she felt that if there was nothing important, she still shouldn't come and bother.
It's just that just now, the changes in her body made her heart rise a strong urge to come over.
But when she got here, she was a little hesitant.
After lingering for a moment, she finally made up her mind.
After greeting the two juniors guarding the door, she entered the gate of the Houshan Cave Mansion, passed through a deep passage, and stopped in front of the dark iron gate outside her father's retreat.
Before he could speak, his father's voice came first: "The Ming Dynasty is here." ”
"Dad!" Lu Mingchao's voice was calm, but it was suppressed emotionally.
She is no longer a little girl, she can no longer do what she wants, and she can throw herself into her father's arms whenever she wants.
"It's been hard for you all these years. Lu Qing's voice sounded again.
"The Ming Dynasty is not bitter. She controlled her sour nose, "Dad, I was cultivating today, and I felt that something was wrong with my body...... When refining the aura, it feels much purer and smoother. ”
"Your feeling is right, you are now a monk of the Water and Gold Twin Spirit Roots. ”
Lu Mingchao was stunned for a moment, and then his heart was full of incredulity, and he even felt that he was hallucinating?
Despite such a big change, she didn't dare to think about the spiritual root before.
She is not a child, she has been in the immortal cultivation world for more than seventy years, and she has never heard of any way to improve the spiritual root.
"Dad, this ......"
"It's a bit incredible, but I won't tell you why, and you don't have to ask. Don't make a noise about this, and don't tell your two brothers, just know it in your heart. ”
Lu Ming calmed down, then knelt down and kowtowed to the Xuantie Gate and said, "Thank you, Daddy!"
"Go ahead, good life and cultivation. You are still young, and the level of building the foundation is useless to build the foundation Dan to pass by himself, and now the spiritual root has also improved, and the future is promising, if you can achieve enlightenment and Jindan, it is the greatest feedback to the family. ”
"It will live up to expectations!"
"There is another thing, there is a lake four hundred miles west of Pingyao County, and there is a group of water ghosts hidden in it, do you know about this?"
"Yes. Lu Mingchao said, "Ten years ago, we discovered the problem of that lake and sent people to investigate. Later, I found out that there are a little too many water ghosts there, and it is very difficult to eliminate them, if you force them to fight, you will sacrifice a lot, there is no benefit in the surroundings, and there is no benefit in beating them, plus these water ghosts will never leave the lake, nor will they go outside to make waves and harm the world, so we will let it go, and it seems that the same is true on Zhao's side. ”
If you don't find the piece of marrow water jade hidden at the bottom of the lake, it is normal to conclude that 'it is meaningless to fight down'. It really looked like an ordinary lake, and in the case that it didn't harm Pingyao County and it didn't make sense to fight down, no one would have enough to eat, and risk sacrificing a large number of monks to attack the Water Ghost Lake.
"That lake, we're going to knock it down. Lu Qing said, "We must kill all those water ghosts." ”
"But...... In the current situation of the family, too many people will die if they beat it. ”
"So make some preparations. Lu Qing said, "It's not now, but the family wants to prepare for this as a goal." Don't ask why. ”
"Yes. ”
"Tell your two brothers, I'm going into retreat recently, don't bother me for five years. ”
"Father, you ......"
"Don't worry, it's normal. Lu Qing still has to give her daughter a vaccination, "In the future, I will wake up from time to time for a while, but for a longer time, I should still be in retreat." ”
"Ming Chao understands, I will talk to the eldest brother and the seventh brother. ”
"Go, I hope I'll be done in five years and you will be ready to deal with the water ghosts. ”
......
After Lu Ming left, Lu Qing didn't feel anything, but exchanged another thing.
[Family style, boost morale, one star]
[After redeeming this item, it will take effect immediately.] Family members are more motivated and morale is high. 】
[Duration: 10 years]
The exchange of this item was something that Lu Qing had thought about before.
Of the three remaining exchange items, [Talisman] and [Resource Upgrade], they are too expensive, and he can't afford to exchange them now. If you can change it, that's all that remains [morale boost].
Unlike all the things that were exchanged before, there was nothing tangible coming out of the 'morale boost' thing. But Lu Qing believes that it is necessary to redeem it.
Before, when he was floating on the Jade Smoky Mountain, he observed the state of the family members. It is common to be worried and depressed.
This is not the spiritual outlook that a family that wants to develop positively should have.
Lu Qing knew that if the news of his wake-up was announced, it should be able to reverse this trend immediately, and even better than this one-star family style option.
But for the sake of prudence, it is still not appropriate to make a publication.
Therefore, to improve the mental outlook, so that everyone is more motivated to do things for the family, and more motivated, Lu Qing still feels that it is worth redeeming this item.
As for the retreat he said to Lu Mingchao, it is also true.
The power of the family rise system is very powerful, yes, even such unthinkable things as changing the spiritual root can be achieved, but to enable these magical functions, karma is required.
Now there are few redemption items, either wait for ten years to refresh them, or spend your own karma to refresh them.
But this wave of karma has also run out.
Lu Qing guarded this system, and did not have the ability to further change the family.
In this case, it makes no sense for him to continue to stare at the family with his eyes open. Even if something really happened, he was powerless to change it.
What's more, during this time, he spent so much karma and did a lot of things, bringing certain changes to the family. These things also need time to ferment.
For example, the water spirit horse herd, such as the smooth trade route after clearing the big hole fox, such as the preparation for the water ghost lake......
In that case, he might as well go into retreat.
After thinking about it for a while, he decided to shut down for five years.
This time is not long or short, and five years should not cause much to happen, and it is enough to develop these things that have been done before.
Then, when he opened his eyes, Lu Qing would be able to have more than fifty karma in his hands, which was also beautiful.
