Chapter 46: The Patriarch's Heart

Two days later, Ding Zhengyi came to the family ancestral hall, and under the puzzled eyes of Uncle Jiu, he walked alone to the cultivation meditation room in the backyard of the ancestral hall.

Seeing that the protective formation of the quiet room was open, he knew that the patriarch was in the process of cultivation at this time.

casually played a law decision that the patriarch personally taught him, and Ding Zhengyi stood with his hands down and waited quietly.

The function of this spell is very simple, for the quiet room protection formation, it can only cause a slight fluctuation to remind the patriarch that someone wants to see him, but generally only the elders of the clan have such rights.

Ding Zhengyi can get such an honor, which naturally represents Ding Changming's absolute importance to him.

The cultivation of the foundation building cultivator can not be disturbed in any way, and even if he wants to collect the exercises, it will take a long time.

Therefore, Ding Zhengyi was not in a hurry, standing there with his thoughts fluttering, and carefully sorted out the training plan that he was going to report to the patriarch.

It wasn't until the streamer of the formation began to gradually dissipate that Ding Zhengyi tightened his mind, lowered his eyebrows and eyes, and made a respectful look.

"Xiaoyi, why are you so coy, come in directly. ”

Ding Changming's deep voice came, and although there was a little reproach in his tone, it brought a sense of cordiality to Ding Zhengyi.

Hearing the patriarch's order, Ding Zhengyi didn't dare to slack off, and directly took a few steps forward and pushed the door in.

The arrangement in the quiet room remains unchanged, except that Ding Changming is still sitting cross-legged on the futon at this time, obviously just finishing his work, and he is still in the adaptation stage, so he has not had time to stand up.

Ding Changming saw Ding Zhengyi walk in, nodded slightly, and waved his hand casually.

As before, the door of the quiet room was automatically closed without wind, and the protective and soundproof magic circle was opened, this method Ding Zhengyi had seen several times, but it was still unpredictable in his eyes.

"Has the training program started?"

Ding Changming started with a clear meaning and went straight to the point, but his tone was a little perfunctory, and he didn't seem to have any interest in paying attention.

After all, the cultivation time of the foundation building cultivators is very tight, especially since Ding Changming has already built the sixth layer of the foundation to perfection, and he urgently needs to prepare before breaking through, and there is no extra time to waste.

Moreover, since the last time he communicated with the two Elders alone, he had been very secretive about this matter, and he didn't even want to get involved anymore.

"Yes, I have already begun the formal implementation of this training program as instructed by you. ”

Ding Zhengyi also felt that there was something wrong with the patriarch's state, but he quickly put down these feelings and replied equally straightforwardly.

"You came to me, but is there any problem that can't be solved?"

Hearing Ding Zhengyi's sonorous and powerful answer, Ding Changming was still lightly interested, revealing a calm and relaxed attitude that had nothing to do with himself.

"There is no problem for the time being, I just came to report on the implementation process, and let the patriarch see if there are any gaps. ”

After Ding Zhengyi said this, he saw the unwavering look on Ding Changming's face, and he didn't show a sense of expectation, and he couldn't help but wonder more, but he still explained the cause and effect of the whole thing.

From the beginning to reduce the risk of exposure, waiting for the attention to decrease, to thinking about the selection of qualified candidates, as well as the proposed program plan and the implementation process.

In it, he focused on the idea of using the psychedelic circle to screen the people, and the results obtained.

It took a stick of incense to describe in detail what he had done about the cultivation plan during this time, and of course he also skipped the part about Xiaoqiu.

"You've done a good job, you've been able to stick to your heart and be improvised, and to be honest, it's a bit out of my mind. ”

After Ding Zhengyi finished speaking, Ding Changming affirmed with a slight smile.

In Ding Zhengyi's long-term report, he sometimes nodded, sometimes shook his head, but the movement of brushing his beard became faster and faster, and he didn't care about occasionally pulling off two of them.

"But there's one thing you shouldn't have noticed yet, and that's how to explain where the redeemed resources go. ”

This problem was also the key that plagued him back then and made Ding Changming unable to implement it by himself, and at this moment he pointed it out sharply.

All public resources in the family will be registered, and the distribution of contribution points and the exchange of resources will be clearly recorded.

At regular intervals, the Grand Elder takes the lead, and all the elders participate in the calculations.

This also puts an end to the possibility of any individual using the public for personal gain, even Ding Changming himself is no exception.

Of course, as the helmsman of the family, he has the absolute strength and right to suppress different voices, and can call on any material and manpower.

But if there is no suitable reason, they directly and wantonly trample on the interest groups of the existing family.

That will only alienate the clan, and in the most serious case, it will even break up the family, and in the end, it will only end up with a result that outweighs the loss.

In Ding Changming's view, running a family is certainly a kind of family bond, but he doesn't want to rely on this big tree to absorb nutrients.

If he is compared to the trunk of the family tree, then the elders are the outer bark of the tree.

Although the bark grows limitedly, it connects the trunk with the branches and leaves, and relies on the branches and leaves to continuously deliver supplies to the trunk.

If the bark withers and withers in order to take care of a few small branches, then how can it thrive as the main trunk?

After frowning and groaning for a long time, Ding Changming finally let out a helpless sigh.

Ding Zhengyi was a little annoyed when he heard the patriarch's suggestion, and he was indeed negligent in the aspect.

But before he had time to think about it, he immediately saw Ding Changming's face change, which was completely different from the calm and calm when he first came.

Then the exclamation of the patriarch, Ding Zhengyi heard an infinite feeling of regret, obviously this is Ding Changming's true feelings.

This situation made Ding Zhengyi at a loss for a while, and secretly wondered in his heart, what was it that would make the patriarch lose his temper so much.

"The plan is canceled, you can take care of the rewards yourself. ”

Ding Changming slowly got up, paced in the quiet room, and suddenly said such an astonishing sentence to Ding Zhengyi.

Then he looked directly at Ding Zhengyi, and there was an incomparably complicated look in his glasses.

Under the gaze of the patriarch, Ding Zhengyi still managed to maintain his composure.

But the gradual wetness of his back and forehead revealed his inner unrest, and at the same time, his sense of confusion since stepping into the ashram has become stronger and stronger.

"Originally, you were asked to implement this plan to see that you have the strength, perseverance, and knowledge of advance and retreat, and you know the general situation, and it is not only difficult for you to do this, but also highly hidden, even if it is exposed, the scope of the impact is not large.

However, in the reminders of the elders, I found that I still thought too simply, as long as I was in charge of this matter, I would inevitably show my feet in the future, and if the concept of fairness and justice of the family was damaged for this matter, and the cohesion of the family was reduced, then I could not escape the blame.

Moreover, in the catastrophe of the family, the large number of spirit runes you drew made an indelible contribution to the escape of the clan, and they really deserve to be rewarded.

But since I learned the news of your epiphany, you are the hope of the future of the family in my eyes, why should I go far and far, and delay your growth for the sake of those who are far inferior to you.

These reduced rewards now correspond to the potential you have at the moment, and even if you use all your resources for yourself, they are impeccable in my opinion. ”

Ding Changming talked eloquently, completely devoid of the majesty and solemnity that a patriarch should have, he was like an ordinary family elder, constantly nagging with his younger generations.

Ding Zhengyi had just woken up from Ding Changming's earth-shattering turning point, and when he heard the simple voice of the patriarch, he was both moved and a little lost.

Although he has implemented the training plan and spent a lot of time and energy on it, he is still far from being the same.

Compared with the patriarch's heart, he seems a little too selfish.

"With the blessing of the divine soul obtained from your epiphany, as well as the talent in talisman making and formation, even if you only have the qualifications of the six spirit knots, your future achievements will definitely not be lower than mine.

The hope of the family's rise is destined to be realized by you, and I only hope that you can pay as much attention as you can to some clansmen who are struggling due to resource constraints as much as you can.

After all, they are all relatives of the same clan and clan whose blood is thicker than water, and the prosperity of the family is inseparable from their efforts. ”

Without waiting for Ding Zhengyi to think about it, Ding Changming said from the bottom of his heart, and then he seemed to have unloaded a heavy burden, and his face was much lighter.

"Patriarch, I will weigh it carefully, and I will definitely not let the clansmen who have a foundation and want to progress continue to be wiped out in the constraints of resources. ”

Ding Zhengyi never knew that he had such an important position in Ding Changming's heart, but this would not affect his implementation of the plan he had drawn up in his heart.

"Okay, I really didn't misunderstand you, you can still not forget your original intention when you get a great opportunity and you can let go of it, which makes me very happy. ”

Ding Changming couldn't stop nodding, he was impeccable about Ding Zhengyi's performance at the moment.

"Actually, I also have some selfish intentions, spending energy and resources to cultivate them, and I also want to use their strength to obtain more resources for myself in the future. ”

Under the patriarch's constant praise, Ding Zhengyi was even more ashamed, and hesitated to say what he actually thought in his heart.

"The family should be mutually beneficial, you give them hope, they should naturally provide their own strength to better serve the family, meaningless efforts will only make the family continue to weaken, if you are really so pedantic, how can I be so relieved." ”

Ding Changming couldn't help but laugh when he heard Ding Zhengyi explain his shortcomings, which just confirmed his state.

"In the past few years, I will be in retreat, preparing to hit the bottleneck in the middle stage of foundation building, if you have something, ask your grandfather and the great elder for help, and I will explain it to them. ”

Ding Changming's laughter seemed to remove the shackles that had been locked in his heart for many years, and the whole person was filled with a different kind of passion, and he seemed to sense that the bottleneck of cultivation had loosened a little.

After saying this, Ding Changming stretched out his hand to interrupt what Ding Zhengyi wanted to say more, took out two one-foot-long jade boxes from his waist, and handed them to him directly.

Then Ding Changming waved his hand again to dissipate the formation, and the door of the quiet room opened naturally, and then he waved his hand and signaled Ding Zhengyi to leave on his own.

Ding Zhengyi took the jade box with both hands, didn't check it, put it directly into the storage bag, and after saluting Ding Changming respectfully, he slowly withdrew.

The warm sunlight outside the quiet room sprinkled down from the sky, shining on Ding Zhengyi's body, and it seemed to be reflected in his heart.
