Chapter 5: The Past

Shen Xingluo swept the entire peach orchard with his divine sense, this year's peaches are growing well, and there are about three hundred and sixty that can be picked. Tomorrow's banquet will be enough for a maximum of a hundred, so how can you not divide two or three out for others to eat?

"He's a child of Xifu?" Shen Xingluo has a very good memory, as long as she has seen people, even if it is just a quick glance, she can remember.

The reason why I have some doubts about this child's impression is half because this child always hides in the corner, afraid to see people, and the other half can be traced back to the relationship between their great-grandfather, that is, the relationship between the east and west mansions of the Shen family.

Shen Xingluo's great-grandfather was a monk in the foundation building period, and it was from him that the Shen family began to move towards the family of immortal cultivators. But he was bent on pursuing the Great Dao, and as a patriarch, he never took up his responsibilities.

He had a lot of wives and concubines, so he also had several sons, but at that time, there were only three people who had grown up and could shoulder the responsibility of the family. The eldest son Shen Daizheng and the third son Shen Daiming were both born to his wife, and the second son Shen Daiguang was his favorite concubine.

The immortal cultivation world does not regard the distinction between concubines and concubines as seriously as the world, so the three sons of Shen Gaozu are all treated equally and teach the same.

It's just that Shen Daizheng has been frail and sickly since he was a child, so he can't work too hard. Shen Daiming was lucky to have a spiritual root, so he, like his father, was bent on asking for immortals. So, Shen Gaozu made a jaw-dropping decision, he gave the title of patriarch to Shen Daizheng, but gave the right of the housekeeper to Shen Daiguang. Then he took Shen Daiming to travel abroad to find opportunities.

When he knew about this past, Shen Xingluo only used four words to evaluate the behavior of this high ancestor: stupid.

Sure enough, ten years later, Shen Gaozu unfortunately fell on the way to the training. Shen Daiming was also seriously injured and had to return to the Shen family, but found that the Shen family had changed the world at that time.

It turned out that although Shen Daiguang was fair and selfless on the surface, and he was a brother and brother with Shen Daizheng, he was actually narrow-minded, vicious and greedy. He was deeply influenced by his concubine's mother, and he has always been obsessed with his identity as the son of a concubine, and he never forgot to justify his name.

In the past, there was Shen Gaozu's mountain pressing, he didn't dare to act rashly, and he was afraid of Shen Daiming's methods, so he showed a benevolent and loving face everywhere. But once these two people left, and there was no news for many years, they gradually had a different mind.

He first deliberately took advantage of Shen Daizheng's illness to delay the time to ask for a doctor, delaying his condition, resulting in Shen Daizheng's life. Then he poisoned his grandmother in private, claiming to the public that his mother was heartbroken for her son and was sad to death.

Without these two nominally able people to suppress his actions, his nature was out of control, and he even used all kinds of strange names to kill his other brothers, or drive them out of the Shen family, and sell his sisters to others at a high price. The daughters of the Shen family were all born well, and even some monks used spirit stones to buy people, which made Shen Daiguang ecstatic and even more frustrated.

When Shen Daiming returned to the Shen family, he faced the death of his mother and brother, except for Shen Daizheng, the rest of his brothers and sisters, nephews and nieces died, and they were sold in a tragic situation.

No one wants to imagine what kind of mood Shen Daiming used to accept all this, only that he sat in the ancestral hall of the Shen family for a day and a night, and when he came out, he killed Shen Daiguang and her concubine mother. As for Shen Daiguang's children, he didn't do anything, he just drove them out of Shen's house and removed them from the family tree.

Although Shen Daiguang is ruthless, his heirs are unexpectedly vigorous, with five sons and three daughters, and this is only on the family tree, and those who are not on the family tree are still unknown. These people were driven out of the Shen family, unwilling to leave the Mengwu Mountains to go to the mortal world, and fearing being bullied, so they lived in a dilapidated Shen family courtyard on the west side of the mountain behind the ancestral hall.

In this way, he will not be too far away from his family and be oppressed, nor will he be conspicuous in front of Shen Daiming. Shen Daiming saw that they were all nephews of the Shen family, so he turned a blind eye and followed them.

Fortunately, this Shen Dynasty has many children, and after several renovations and repairs, the dilapidated courtyard also shows a bit of a new climate. They also called themselves the Shen family when they went out, but in order to distinguish them from their own family, they added the word Xifu.

Of course, this is all an old thing from decades ago, and Shen Daiming also passed away thirty years ago, and these old words are usually not mentioned. Now there is occasional movement between the juniors of the two provinces, but there is almost no contact between Shen Qiushan's generation.

Therefore, Shen Xingluo was a little puzzled when he saw the children of Xifu appear in the Shen family's peach forest.

But Shen Xingyun doesn't look like a person who will fight over these old things, why is he bullying a person who looks two or three years younger than him so much?

Shen Xingluo glanced at Shen Xingyun quietly, and said lightly: "Tomorrow is a good day for my grandfather, I heard that the second uncle will come back too?"

Hearing this, Shen Xingyun's face turned pale, and the cold sweat on his forehead flowed down suddenly.

Shen Dong, the second uncle in Shen Xingluo's mouth, is the second son of Shen Qiushan, and the family ranks second. When he was ten years old, he entered the Xuanxiao Gate, but because of his low qualifications, he has always been a disciple of the outer sect. Later, he was promoted to deacon by the head of the Cabinet. Although his qualifications are not good, he is fair and righteous, good at flexibility, and everything he handles is properly handled.

"I, I ......" Shen Xingyun "me" several times, but he couldn't say a complete word.

Today's incident is that a group of young masters who don't learn and don't know how to learn are bored, and they just have fun with this child. If the second uncle knew that he was bullying the weak, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Why did Shen Xingyun see Shen Dong like a mouse seeing a cat? It's not that Shen Dong is harsh on him, after all, as a monk, he still disdains to intimidate a junior nephew who has no spiritual roots.

It's just that like many big families, the eldest is a good guy who talks about it, and the second is the really ruthless character.

Shen Xingyun's father, Shen Liulang, is a fellow mother of Shen Dong, and has lived under Shen Dong's obscenity since he was a child.

Shen Xingyun once saw with his own eyes that his father, who loved him so much, was uneasy in front of his second uncle, and he didn't dare to gasp. Because the Shen family has a saying that they don't hug their grandsons, in front of the second uncle, their father didn't dare to touch him.

Once Shen Xingyun was accidentally smashed into the soles of his feet by miscellaneous flower pot fragments, crying and running to his father for comfort. happened to meet the second uncle coming back, the second uncle's eyes widened, and his father's outstretched hand immediately hung in the air, and he didn't even dare to speak.

However, the second uncle is also very powerful, as soon as he touched his hand, the fragments came out, it didn't hurt at all, and he also gave him a pill, so that he could sleep beautifully.

But even so, the picture of the second uncle reprimanding his father still left a deep shadow on Shen Xingyun, who was still a young child, and made him feel the terrible of the second uncle in his heart.

Shen Xingluo didn't want to entangle with him here, so he raised his hand and sent out a "wind blade technique", knocking down a few peaches from the peach tree closest to him, and motioned Shen Xinghe to pick them up.

Shen Xinghe let out a cheer, happily picked up the peaches one by one, put them in the net pocket, and happily snuggled up to Shen Xingluo: "Sister, there are a lot." ”

"Well, let's go. Shen Xingluo took her brother and left the peach forest of right and wrong, and the other children on the opposite side didn't look at her, which was her pride as a monk.

Without the suppression of Shen Xingluo's aura, the children in the forest finally took a big breath.

"Shichiro, what about this kid?" said a child, pointing to the child who was still squatting on the ground.

"What can I do?" Shen Xingyun, who had just been intimidated by Shen Xingluo, was in a very bad mood, and kicked on the talking child, "Do you want to offend Jiu Niang, don't let him go, keep it an eyesore." ”

The boy rolled around on the ground before he got up, dusted off the dirt on his body, and hurriedly said, "Yes, yes." ”

The child squatting on the ground stood up with his belly covered, and limped out of the peach forest amid the disgust and ridicule of everyone.

The children only thought that he had been kicked in the abdomen, so they would cover it, but they did not know that under the patches of clothes were two fist-sized peaches.

These two peaches were stuffed into Shen Xingluo's arms when she gave her brother peaches just now. Because she is extremely fast, no one knows about it except this child. And this child just felt that these two peaches seemed to appear in his arms out of thin air.

The children who had no object of oppression roared out of the peach forest to find new fun, and the leafy peach forest returned to its former peace.

"Is this the Immortal Magic?" the little boy stared at the two peaches in his hand without blinking, muttering to himself, and a desire for immortal cultivation rose in his heart.
