After the worship activities, the clansmen withdrew from the ancestral hall one after another.

The uncles and aunts who organized the flowing water banquet immediately got busy, steamed and fried all kinds of semi-finished ingredients prepared a few days ago, made dishes with full color and flavor, and served them on the neatly arranged dinner table.

The people of the various tribes of the Ding clan were distant and close according to their generations, and groups of people sat around the dinner table, and the foreign monks who were watching the ceremony also sat down under the leadership of the elders.

Because his parents were busy for lunch, Ding Zhengyi looked left and right, and wanted to find a few brothers who knew each other to sit down and talk about it first.

At this moment, a crisp but slightly cold voice came from his ear: "Xiaoyi, sit here." ”

Following the voice, the fourth sister was staring at him, and the sharp eyes made Ding Zhengyi's scalp tingle for a while, and the seventh brother was sitting next to her at this time, with a flattering smile on his face.

The fourth sister is the granddaughter of the patriarch, five years older than Ding Zhengyi, and has six innate spiritual qualifications.

After testing such a qualification at the age of eleven, the patriarch sent him to the Xuanshan faction, but this qualification is more than superior in the sect, and the possibility of being directly included in the inner gate is very low, unless it is a relative of the high-level of the sect.

At that time, the patriarch found a lot of connections, so she was put on the name of a preparatory inner disciple, this preparatory inner disciple looks like that, but there is no substantial benefit, just that she doesn't have to work all day like an outer disciple, and she can't get the benefits that a normal inner disciple should have.

However, because of the funding of the patriarch, the fourth sister finally dredged the three spiritual networks in the first two years, and reached the qualification of the seven spiritual knots of the day after tomorrow, and the cultivation also immediately entered the late stage of qi training, and with the help of the third uncle, who has become the deacon of the sect, the word "preparation" was finally removed, and she became an official inner disciple and enjoyed all the treatment of the inner disciple.

The fourth sister and Ding Zhengyi and the seventh brother were relatively close when they were children because of the relationship between their elders, before she joined the Xuanshan faction, she had a quirky personality, Ding Zhengyi was teased by her many times, and even walked around when he saw her for a while.

However, after joining the Xuanshan faction, I don't know if it was because the competition in the sect was too strong, or because the identity of the inner disciple made her too stressed, the fourth sister became as cold and cold as she is now, and her delicate and lovely face in the past has also become slightly lined, although it is still radiant, but it reveals a resolute personality all the time.

It may be the shadow of being teased when I was a child, or it may be the cold and penetrating spleen of the fourth sister now.

Now every time she sees the fourth sister, Ding Zhengyi has a faint sense of fear, fortunately, she is in the sect and does not often return to the clan, and her impact on Ding Zhengyi is not too great.

In comparison, the seventh brother is a lot sad, he is often taken by his father to the Xuanshan faction to practice, and the probability of meeting the fourth sister is much higher, I heard that he is often embarrassed by the fourth sister's lesson.

Although the fourth sister's whole person exudes coldness, the friendship between Seventh Brother and Ding Zhengyi is still obvious to all, otherwise with Seventh Brother's somewhat out-of-the-box temperament, the cultivation progress would not be so fast.

Ding Zhengyi also received a lot of guidance from her in the two years when he started cultivating, but his attitude was always cold and rude as always, which made Ding Zhengyi not very comfortable.

"What are you doing there, do you want me to invite you?"

Seeing Ding Zhengyi standing there motionless, his eyes were hollow, and the fourth sister's face was even colder.

"No, no, it's just that I was so happy to see the fourth sister suddenly. ”

Ding Zhengyi gestured with his hand, squeezed out a smile on his face that was more flattering than that of the seventh brother, walked quickly to the side of the fourth sister, moved a stool and sat down.

"I heard that you are not only at a good level of talisman making now, but you also have a breakthrough in forging your body, and your cultivation has also not fallen, so it seems that you have worked hard. ”

The fourth sister still had a straight face, seeing Ding Zhengyi sitting next to her in an orderly manner, the frost on her face was slightly reduced, but her voice was still cold, if she didn't listen to the content, she would never think that she was praising Ding Zhengyi.

"It's okay, it's okay..."

Ding Zhengyi was submissive at this time, and it was abnormal, not that he was suddenly weak, but that he really didn't know how to face this sister with a strong aura.

"What's the way it looks!"

When the fourth sister saw Ding Zhengyi behaving like this, she was very dissatisfied and shook her brows like a small sword.

"I was just infected by the atmosphere during the sacrifice, and I haven't recovered yet. ”

Ding Zhengyi had an idea, and casually pulled out a sentence, and he didn't dare to say anything wrong with her cold appearance, so as not to make this aunt mad.

"If a monk does not have an indomitable will, how can he overcome difficulties and achieve success!"

The fourth sister was even more dissatisfied, staring at Ding Zhengyi sternly, there seemed to be ice slag in her voice, and the seventh brother seemed to be trembling next to her.

"I know, I'll pay attention later"

Ding Zhengyi had no choice at this time, so he had to return to his usual calm expression and replied in a calm tone.

"Well, that's what it looks like"

The fourth sister nodded slightly, no matter how Ding Zhengyi could change so quickly, a rare smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she seemed to be very satisfied with his state at this time.

"I have a good sister in the sect, she was also born in the family, but her family's talisman inheritance is more comprehensive, this time I came back from the sect, and asked her to transcribe a few rune seal making methods that are not limited to external transmission, to see if it will help you" The fourth sister took out a thin book and handed it to Ding Zhengyi as she spoke, it is rare for her to say such long words in recent years, which shows that she should be in a good mood.

"Okay, I'll study it carefully when I go back" Ding Zhengyi took the book and stuffed it directly into his arms, knowing that the fourth sister didn't like to be polite, so he didn't say anything more thanks.

At this time, the meal had already been served, and then the two of them did not continue to say more, and several monks of the same generation at the table, all of them looked at their noses and noses, and without saying a word, they quietly finished the flowing water feast.

After the meal, the fourth sister left on her own and didn't say hello to the others, but everyone didn't feel anything wrong, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing the figure of the fourth sister gradually moving away, the atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly became a lot more lively, and the seventh brother also came over at this time, and whispered to Ding Zhengyi with a sad face:

"Xiaoyi, you can still be calm in the face of the fourth sister, it's really good! You don't know how terrible she was when she disciplined me, I didn't care so much about my father. ”

The fourth sister was cold-faced and warm-hearted, saying that you are all for your good. ”

Ding Zhengyi comforted that although the seventh brother was a few years older than him, his personality was still not as stable as him.

"I've been cultivating very hard, so I'm just going to relax once in a while, so I don't have to train when I meet. ”

The seventh brother shook his head and said disapprehantly.

Everyone has their own attitude towards life and cultivation, and Ding Zhengyi doesn't have the habit of teaching people like the fourth sister, so he patted the seventh brother on the shoulder, opened the topic, and chatted with him about all kinds of miscellaneous things that happened inside and outside the clan for most of the time, and the other people at the same table also integrated into this topic with you and me.

Unlike Ding Zhengyi, who had been concentrating on cultivation for a long time, these brothers of the same generation would often go out to complete various family tasks, and in their fragmentary words, Ding Zhengyi heard that the current cultivation realm was really quite unpeaceful.

There are less than ten people in front of them, half of them have been attacked outside in the past year, and even two people have been injured, but fortunately, the family's tasks are generally to go together, and some life-saving things will be distributed, otherwise it is not impossible to have large casualties.

As the discussion deepened, Ding Zhengyi learned that there were many monks who had disappeared outside the family over the years, and they said that they were missing, but in fact they must have been lost.

When he said this, Brother Qi also gave him a look of affirmation, obviously Brother Qi knew more, although Ding Zhengyi was not very familiar with these missing clansmen, otherwise he would not know anything about these things, but he still had an inexplicable sadness in his heart.

The monk fights for his life with the sky, and as long as there is a glimmer of hope, he will fight desperately, and the production resources will never be snatched up quickly.

Moreover, there are many means for monks, and under certain circumstances, monks with slightly higher cultivation will also stumble and die, so there will never be a shortage of monks in the cultivation world who take risks and attack everywhere to rob the cultivation resources.

Talking about this, Ding Zhengyi didn't have the heart to listen to them talk about some trivial things, so he shirked that he still had something to do, and after saying hello to Seventh Brother, he walked alone in the direction of home.

Ding Zhengyi thought all the way, in order to protect himself and his relatives, he must be strong enough.

At least when his life is threatened, he will not be helpless and unable to fight back, Ding Zhengyi has been thinking about how to become stronger, but he has always had no clue, at present, it seems that there is only one way to cultivate to a higher level of cultivation.

It's better to cultivate well first, worrying about these unsolvable things is superfluous, Ding Zhengyi shook his head habitually, and there was already the small bamboo building in front of him.
