Volume 2: The Pool of Spirits Chapter 45: Ancestor Worship
Three days later, Jing Shaoling successfully changed his cultivation method.
At this time, the aura in his dantian is about one percent less, but it is more pure and condensed, if his aura was a barrel of clear wine before, then now it is an old wine with viscosity.
It only takes one opportunity to liquefy the aura and impact the foundation.
And after he found that the aura was pure, his control ability was also stronger, and he tried to send a spell, and as he expected, the loss of the spell was a full one percent less aura than before, and it felt more powerful.
In other words, the same spell is not only more powerful than before, but the loss of aura is also much reduced.
"The Jade Ding Sect can become one of the four major sects of the Qin State, and it really lives up to its reputation, this spirit cicada trick is really mysterious!"
Jing Shaoling exclaimed.
It's a pity that this skill cultivation method is only to the foundation building chapter, but there is no future, if there is a chance in the future, you must get Jindan or even Yuan Ying, but when I think about it, it's still early, and this thought is just a flash.
Jin Dan is the master of a sect, even if Jing Shaoling obtains Ye Invincible's inheritance, he doesn't dare to imagine, it's not that he has no ambition, but this realm is too far away from his current situation.
Yuan Ying didn't dare to hope even more, it was a legendary land immortal, it was said to have the ability to pull out mountains and boil the sea, and the entire Chu State and even the Immortal Continent had never heard of such a person.
There was a lively sound outside the house, and it seemed that many people were chatting together.
Jing Shaoling was a little surprised, but suddenly he remembered, five days of retreat, today is the birthday of his great-grandfather, presumably those Jing clansmen who are far away have come to pay their respects, and I don't know if their parents are here.
Thinking of this, Jing Shaoling walked to the window.
Jing's old house is quite large, covers an area of hundreds of acres, the length and width are tens of miles in diameter, there are hundreds of houses inside, there are many pavilions and pavilions, there is an artificial lake in the center, and the willow trees are planted around, which is extremely pleasing to the eye.
The place where Jing Shaoling lives is Tingchaoxuan by this lake, because he loves the scenery by the lake, so as to live here.
When I opened the window, I saw that there were many small boats on the lake, and countless young men and women were boating, talking and laughing, and the scene was so lively.
Maybe it was because someone appeared in the Chaoxuan, and many people boating on the lake looked over one after another, and saw a young man standing in front of him, with a handsome face and an extraordinary temperament, and they were curious about who this person was?
At this time, someone outside the front door suddenly shouted: "Second son, Marquis Jing has arrived and said that he wants to see you, is it convenient for you now?"
Jing Shaoling heard it and replied, "I know." ”
Hurriedly walked out of the room, it was the old servant who had often delivered food with him in the past few days, nodded and followed the old servant.
Today's Jing's old house is extremely lively, full of lights, even the servants have changed into bright red clothes, many stone lions in front of the door are hung with red satin that was hung during the New Year, and those red lanterns can be seen everywhere.
The entire Jing's old mansion was a fiery red color, and everyone who saw it was smiling, and it seemed that even the air contained the smell of joy, and the whole old mansion was full of joy.
At this time, on a bluestone street in front of the ancestral house of the Jing family's old house, a housekeeper stood on the stone steps of the ancestral house and bowed to the visitors, and then a loud shout sounded.
"The Prime Minister's Mansion in Kyoto congratulates the old man on his 100th birthday, and gives a pair of birthday gifts to Jade Ruyi, congratulations to the old man on his 100th birthday, all the best!"
"Kyoto Tobe Shangshu congratulates the old man on his 100th birthday, and gives a birthday gift to Lantian Yubi!"
"The hussar general congratulates the old man on his 100th birthday and gives him a birthday gift dragon frost sword!"
"Zhen Guogong congratulates the old man on his 100th birthday and gives him a birthday gift, Moyang Stone!"
"Luo Tian Houfu and the old man's 100th birthday, give a birthday gift to the wolf with ten strokes!"
“...................”
As soon as Jing Shaoling approached the ancestral house, he heard this shout, and the people who came to congratulate him were all prominent figures in the Chu State, including the prime minister of the dynasty, the Hussar General who was second only to the general, and the Duke of Zhenguo, who was equal to the Duke of Jingnan, and the Hou Ye....., etc., which shows the status of the Duke of Jingnan in the Chu State.
Looking at the leopard in the tube, you can also see the influence of the Jing family in the Chu State.
These applicants are all qualified, as for those who are not qualified, there are countless of them, and the gifts sent are piled up in the warehouse next to the ancestral house, and the master who keeps the accounts is even more busy with his feet on the ground.
Today, whether it is Jing's old enemy or enemy, they are at least full of face, not long ago Jing Shaoling killed Zhao Xueqing, this is not Prime Minister Zhao Xifeng also put down everything, and sent people to congratulate him.
The power of the Jing clan can be seen in the Chu State!
Jing Shaoling came to the ancestral house under the leadership of the old servant, and the old servant signaled Jing Shaoling to go in by himself, he naturally understood what this meant, the Jing ancestral house is an ancestral shrine, and only the core members of the Jing family can enter, not even the side lineage, and the rank is strict.
Don't look at Jing Nangong's kindness to Jing Shaoling, that's because this is his great-grandson, and he is not so gentle with his side, Jing Shaoling, who was born in Jing's family since he was a child, has understood this truth since he was a child.
Walking into the ancestral hall, there are many people gathered in the house, about dozens of people, many people are paying homage to Jingnan Gong and bowing to him. Jing Shaoling saw his father at first sight, and there was also his mother, eldest brother, younger sister and niece Dudu beside him.
Jing Nancheng sat on the Taishi chair in the middle of the head, wearing a fiery red robe, and accepted the worship of many descendants.
Seeing someone walking in at the door, Jing Nangong couldn't help laughing when he saw that it was Jing Shaoling: "Xiaoling'er is here, I thought you forgot Grandpa's birthday today!"
Jing Shaoling hurriedly trotted forward, knelt down with double happiness, and kowtowed respectfully: "Grandson is here to congratulate grandpa on his happy birthday, congratulations to grandpa on his blessing as the East China Sea, and longevity as Nanshan!"
"Good! good!"
Jing Nangong said with a smile: "Thank you for your grandson's auspicious words, get up quickly!"
Jing Shaoling stood up, thought about it, took out a bottle of pill from the storage bag and handed it to Jing Nangong, and said: "Today's birthday, my grandson didn't prepare too much, here is a bottle of pill, replenish qi and prolong the spirit, and I should wish my grandfather a birthday!"
This is a bottle of first-order lower grade elixir - rejuvenation pill, in addition to restoring a small amount of mana, it can also concentrate and calm the mind, which is naturally dispensable for Jing Shaoling, but for mortals, this is a supreme elixir.
Jing Nangong's eyes lit up, although he was not a monk, but his younger brother was a monk, so he naturally knew the preciousness of this elixir, and couldn't help but glance at Jing Shaoling approvingly, and then took it, and said with a smile: "It's still my grandson who feels sorry for my grandfather, okay, grandpa accepted it!"
Everyone in the house looked at him with amazement, many clansmen took out birthday gifts and gave them to Jing Nangong before, and Wei Feng on the side accepted them on his behalf, this kid gave him a bottle of elixir, Jing Nangong actually took it personally, what kind of magic medicine is this?
Looking at Jing Shaoling's eyes, everyone wanted to dance.
Jing Yanghou smiled on the side, nodded incessantly, and showed an approving look on his face.
Just as Jing Shaoling walked towards his father, a slight voice sounded: "Sycophant!"
Jing Shaoling's six senses are so keen, when he looked back, he saw a young man in white looking at him with disdain, and couldn't help frowning, who is this guy?
It's just that it's not good to have a seizure in the ancestral house, so I pretended not to hear it and walked to Jingyanghou's side.
"Dad, big brother, young sister, when did you arrive?"
Jing Shaoling asked softly.
"I arrived yesterday, and I heard that you were cultivating, so I didn't look for you!"
Jing Wushuang said with a smile.
Jing Shaoling nodded, so he asked the eldest brother again: "Sister-in-law, why didn't you see it?"
Jing Shaoyang's face was red, his expression was strange, and he didn't speak.
Qingmei smiled on the side and said softly: "Silly second brother, sister-in-law is unwell and can't enter the ancestral hall!"
Only then did Jing Shaoling understand that the feeling was coming, and "Tiankui" couldn't help but blush, and his expression was a little embarrassed.
Fortunately, Dudu relieved the siege, and said to Jing Shaoling in a milky voice: "Hug....hug ......"
Jing Shaoling happily hugged Dudu and kissed her on the face a few times, making Dudu babble and laugh.
Many descendants of the descendants of Jing Nan paid their birthday greetings, and the excitement ended for a while, and then it was a birthday banquet, and the entire Jing family gathered together to eat a birthday banquet, and the process was naturally very lively.
In the early morning of the next day, Jing Nangong led everyone to Laojun Mountain to worship their ancestors, and the people who participated in the ancestor worship ceremony were very vast, in addition to the descendants of the Jing family, there were many important side branches to participate, hundreds of people.
Laojun Mountain is located in Luochuan County 30 miles away, is the first peak of Luochuan County, the mountain is high and steep, there are clouds and mist shrouded at the top of the mountain all the year round, it is beautiful like a fairyland, it is rumored that it was the place of cultivation of the immortal Laojun in the sky when he went down to earth, so it was named.
Jing's origin in Luochuan, when Jing's ancestor was forced by the enemy to Laojun Mountain, Jing's almost wiped out, and then the time came to run, Jing's escape, so this place is known as a blessed land, since then all generations of Jing's people are buried here, so it has also become Jing's ancestral land, and it has been hundreds of years.
The group marched to the foot of Laojun Mountain, first worshiped the mountain god, and then went up the mountain to worship the ancestors. The cemetery of the ancestors of the Jing family is located at the peak of Laojun Mountain, within a Taoist temple.
The mountain is more than 2,000 meters high, the Taoist temple is built on the top of this mountain, every time the ancestors are worshiped in order to show piety, the road up the mountain must rely on people to climb up, can not rely on external forces, so usually these pampered Jing clan people, can be regarded as suffering a big sin, have complained of suffering.
However, when he saw that Jingnan Gongdu was 100 years old, he still went up the mountain alone, and he still had spare strength, so he didn't dare to cheat and play tricks.
Jing Shaoling's family, his father Jing Yanghou was born as a military general, he practiced martial arts, he had profound internal skills, and his breath was long, so he was naturally calm, and his eldest brother Jing Shaoyang had been boiling his body since he was a child, and he was also walking like flying.
As for Qingmei, although she is young, but the girl is weak after all, so she is tired after crawling for a while, Jing Shaoling shook her head and secretly cast a wind resistance technique on him, which made her suddenly light as a flying swallow, first surprised, and then saw the second brother secretly smiling and looking at her, not only grinning and grimacing. The little niece was naturally hugged by Jing Shaoling, looking around with a smile, babbling and screaming, very lively.
As for the sister-in-law and mother, since they were not from the Jing clan, they did not follow.
However, not all the Jing clansmen are gentlemen, and many of them are very relaxed, several of Jing Shaoling's uncles are military generals of the Chu State, and some cousins are also in important positions, and they have been learning martial arts since childhood, so they do not change their colors when they go up the mountain.
For example, the white-clothed boy who ridiculed Jing Shaoling as a "sycophant" in the ancestral hall yesterday was very relaxed, and the few teenagers who followed him were the same, laughing while walking, which was eye-catching.
Jing Shaoling swept it away with his spiritual consciousness, and couldn't help but be a little surprised, all of them were monks, and the young man in white was a cultivator of the fifth layer of condensation, but he didn't know it, maybe it was a side branch of the Jing family.
Two hours later, everyone came to the top of Laojun Mountain, a Taoist temple stands in front, golden and brilliant, the door is a square, three tall bronze tripods stand at the door of the Taoist temple, it is full of huge incense, green smoke curling.
A Taoist hurriedly walked out of the Taoist temple, came to Jingnan Gong, and said: "Guogong has worked hard all the way, please follow me to the temple to have some vegetarian food, there is still an hour before the auspicious time." ”
Jing Nangong shook his head, but his eyes looked into the distance, as if he was waiting for someone.
When the man saw this, he could not help but think of something, and he said no more.
After the tea time, just when everyone was a little impatient, a few sword lights came rapidly from a distance, and they landed on the square in an instant, and many Jing clan people were in a commotion and screamed.
Dudu had never seen such a vision when he was young, and said in a milky voice: "Wow! God...... Immortals!"
Qingmei was also dumbfounded, even Jing Yanghou and eldest brother Jing Shaoyang had excited expressions, only Jing Shaoling looked calm and looked at the person curiously.
There were a total of five monks, and the person who took the lead was wearing a black robe, with crane hair and a childish face, three long beards under his chin, and his whole body breath was looming, exuding a charm, giving people a feeling of fairy wind and bones.
This person is actually a foundation building monk, Jing Shaoling was taken aback, and immediately came to his senses, this person must be Jing Nangong's younger brother, the foundation building monk who practiced in the Heavenly Demon Sect, and also the biggest backer of the Jing clan - Jing Bufan.
The four young men behind him were condensing qi cultivation, and all of them were condensing qi consummating cultivation, and one of them was even more violent, and the aura continued to overflow and retract on his body, and his whole body was extremely full of spiritual energy.
Jing Shaoling could see at a glance that this person had reached the point of spiritual qi liquid, and he was only one opportunity away from being able to build a foundation, which was a real half foot that had already stepped into the foundation.
If you don't talk about the identity of a martial cultivator, this person's qi cultivation is similar to his own, if he hadn't comprehended the spirit cicada technique a few days ago, I'm afraid it would be a little higher than himself, and he couldn't help but let Jing Shaoling look at it differently.
At this time, Jing Wuchen walked towards Jing Nangong, bowed respectfully, and said apologetically: "Big brother, I am busy with affairs, and I am a little late." ”
Jing Nangong laughed and said, "Bufan, you came just in time, we have just arrived, and we will go first to enjoy a vegetarian meal, you and I have not seen each other for a few years." ”
With that, he and Jing Wushuang walked into the Taoist temple, and the Jing clan people also followed in.
Everyone ate a vegetarian meal, and when the auspicious time came, the Taoist led everyone to the shrine dedicated to the ancestors of the Jing family in the past dynasties, and began the tedious and grand ancestor worship ceremony.
It took several hours to be busy before the tedious ancestor worship ceremony was completed, but Jing Shaoling knew that the next thing was the right thing, discussing the number of places in the spiritual pool, and he couldn't help but feel refreshed, which was related to his opportunity to break through the foundation.
