Chapter 14: Long Dazhuang's troubles
Myths and legends say: "The retreat of a saint is as little as a thousand years, and as much as ten thousand years, the vicissitudes of life, and the changes of the universe are like a passing cloud." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info "For ordinary humans, this may just be a dream, impossible, and simply unattainable. But among human beings, some powerful beings know that those powerful cosmic-level creatures hidden in the universe galaxies and worshiped by many ordinary people as gods are also common things when they wake up and spend hundreds or thousands of years in a few hundred years. Human beings are far from reaching the realm of legendary saints, nor do they have the long lifespan of cosmic creatures. For human cultivators, it is normal for them to be in a state of cultivation, and time passes quickly. For two months, for Long Teng, who was in a state of cultivation, it was like a flick of his fingers, leaving not many traces.
Since returning to the Ancestral Pavilion, Long Teng has been practicing diligently every day, not daring to slow down, under the guidance of the Ancestral Pavilion Lord and some family elders, Long Teng's cultivation speed can be described as a thousand miles a day. Two months of penance cultivation is nothing at all for the cultivators of the Long Family, and the progress of cultivation is only the accumulation of a small amount of Gulong True Qi, but for Long Teng, it is a great progress. Long Teng had never been so diligent and hard-working before, and the results of diligence and hard work also paid off handsomely, with the speed of a rocket, he actually raised his cultivation to another level in just two months, and entered the middle stage on the basis of just stepping into the early stage of the second layer of "Ancient Dragon Decision". This kind of cultivation speed shocked even the Ancestral Pavilion Master, he thought that if he compared his cultivation speed with the cultivation speed of the dragon, it would be like a little witch seeing a big witch, a crawling turtle, and a running rabbit.
The Ancestral Pavilion Pavilion Master was proud of him when he saw Long Teng, who had made such rapid progress, but also had a worry in his heart. In order to allow Long Teng to lay a solid foundation, he had to divert Long Teng's attention. After Long Teng broke through to the middle of the second layer, the Ancestral Pavilion Master actually gave Long Teng a ten-day vacation.
When Long Teng was leaving, the Pavilion Master of the Ancestral Pavilion called Long Teng to his side and admonished: "Child, your cultivation speed is too fast, I don't know, this result is a blessing or a curse. Based on my experience, for the sake of your future, after you go home, as long as you complete the cultivation tasks I have set for you on time, you don't have to be too yourself in pursuit of cultivation speed. "It is precisely because of the prudence of the Pavilion Master of the Ancestral Pavilion that he did not pursue progress, which stabilized Long Teng's impetuous heart. It has laid a good foundation and a solid foundation for Long Teng's future cultivation, and it has also left time for Long Teng to have the opportunity to pay attention to things outside of cultivation.
Since the last time he overheard the conversation between the Ancestral Pavilion Master and the Great Elder of the Tiger Family, although Long Teng didn't say anything, he knew in his heart that everything the Ancestral Pavilion Pavilion Master did was out of good intentions, and he had no reason to refuse. At the same time, the image of the ancestral pavilion master was also planted in Long Teng's heart, a seed of kindness. Long Teng replied very simply: "I must remember the teachings of my predecessors. ”
The Ancestral Pavilion Lord sighed, thought for a while, and said, "Learn more about family affairs, I think your father must have had a lot of troubles recently. When you get home, you should care for him, help him, and if there is something that cannot be handled, you can come to me. ”
The words of the ancestral pavilion master, after Long Teng heard it, he was a little inexplicable, in Long Teng's opinion, his father was a tough guy, and there seemed to be nothing that could bring him troubles and troubles, not to mention, there were things that could not be handled. Although Long Teng had blind worship for his father, he still replied cautiously: "Thank you for your concern, when I get home, I will definitely listen more, watch more, learn more, and if I have any difficulties, I will definitely ask you for advice." ”
The Pavilion Master of the Ancestral Pavilion nodded with satisfaction and said, "You can leave now, during the holidays, no matter what happens, you can come to the Ancestral Pavilion to find me." ”
Long Teng replied, "Yes." ”
After Long Teng left, from the side door of the room, a person with a yellow face, a little sickly, and an age who looked to be in his forties came to the Ancestral Pavilion Master, saluted the Ancestral Pavilion Lord, and said, "Pavilion Master, Long Teng's cultivation is progressing so fast, why should he slow down his cultivation?"
The Pavilion Master of the Ancestral Pavilion motioned for this person to sit down and explained: "Our Long Family, there is information to check, any cultivation speed that is too fast in the early stage will affect the cultivation progress in the future to a certain extent, so I asked Long Teng to slow down his cultivation." ”
The man asked again: "Long Teng is still young, his mind is not mature, cultivation should be put in the first place, is it necessary to call him to be prematurely strangled in family affairs?"
The Ancestral Pavilion Master replied, "I didn't ask him to hang out the family affairs, I just told him to understand the family affairs. Besides, even if the family affairs are exhausted, there are still us. If he does something wrong, we can still deal with it, and if in the future, because of his lack of experience, he does something that you and I can't control the situation, then it will be too late to cry when we see the coffin. ”
The man nodded and said, "Yes, the second and third gods of war in our family, when they were young, they paid too much attention to cultivation and neglected the development of other aspects, and after becoming the god of war, they did things that made countless people laugh. ”
The Ancestral Pavilion Master Zhengse said: "Ancestor is what you can comment on." "The man was silent because he was sometimes speaking in a measured manner.
Long Teng returned to the Longjia headquarters building and found that the headquarters building had changed very much, there were more people, and the house had become more beautiful. "To describe the current Long family, that is appropriate. As the time for the ancestor worship ceremony was approaching, every day, the children of the Long family, especially those senior masters in the family, would rush back to the ancient dragon star from all corners of the universe.
Long Teng returned home, after seeing his father, he didn't notice any changes, after listening to the words of the ancestral pavilion master, Long Teng's heart was hanging, and then he let go. However, Long Teng inadvertently found that his father's face often showed a sad look, but he just forced a smile in front of his family.
Long Teng was reminded by the Pavilion Master of the Ancestral Pavilion, one was concerned, and the other was curious. has always been in the eyes of Long Teng, a resolute, open-minded and strong father, who will be confused about what is going on and have a sense of powerlessness. Long Teng asked, "Father, what are you worried about lately?"
Long Dazhuang looked at Long Teng, as if he was sure of something, and after a while, he said, "I have indeed been in trouble recently. ”
Long Teng said, "Father, can you tell me? I can help you find a way." Even if you can't figure out a solution, as long as you say it, it's better than holding it in your heart. ”
Long Dazhuang said with a little contemplation: "About the ancestor worship ceremony. ”
Long Teng said: "I'm in the ancestral pavilion, I heard from the elders in the family, those elders have mentioned, isn't the ancestor worship ceremony ready, what's the trouble?"
Long Dazhuang knew that Long Teng cultivated in the Ancestral Pavilion and had come into contact with more elders in the clan than himself. And those family elders are all old guys who have a certain influence in various sects and branches. Thinking of this, Long Dazhuang replied: "Regarding the question of the people who participated in the ancestor worship ceremony. ”
Long Teng asked a little puzzled, "Not everyone will participate." ”
Long Dazhuang knew that his son didn't understand, and explained: "Of course, everyone will participate, but only those who climb the ancestral altar can be regarded as truly participating in the ancestor worship ceremony, and the location of the ancestral altar is limited, our Long family is huge, there are many people, and there are many branches, not every family predecessor who comes to Gulongxing can climb the ancestral altar." ”
Long Teng seemed to understand a little, but he still asked: "Are the people who participated in the event all from our Long family?" When I was in the Ancestral Pavilion, I met a few elders from other families, didn't they participate?"
Long Dazhuang replied: "The people who participate, naturally not only the people of our Long family, but also those seniors who rushed over. It's just that they attended the ancestor worship ceremony and were witnesses. The witness seat is a special seat for these elders, and I am responsible for drawing up the list of candidates to attend. ”
Long Teng said, "They're just here to see?"
Long Dazhuang nodded and said, "So to speak, they came to see, but not all. As far as I know, there are about five types of people who are eligible to be witnessed, the first is our Long family's own people, they are also surnamed Long, and for some historical reasons, they left the family and joined other forces; the second type is our Long family's allies or partners, and every time they worship their ancestors, they will send family elders to come; the third type is the opposing forces of our Long family, who were invited by our family and forced to come; the fourth type has nothing to do with our Long family, but only comes out of etiquette; and the last type is some affiliated families of our Long family, and they have a certain marriage relationship with the Long family。 ”
Long Teng's head was a little big when he heard it, but he didn't expect that it was just a list, but so many forces were involved, if it was not handled well, it would definitely have an adverse impact on the future of the Long family. Long Teng asked, "There are so many forces, that one is the most difficult to deal with. ”
Long Dazhuang said: "It's those people in our family, they are not qualified to participate in the official team of ancestor worship team, if the witness position is canceled, these elders will definitely make trouble, which is very detrimental to family unity." ”
Long Teng understands that these people are originally members of the family, and outside, it is estimated that they will also regard themselves as the Long family, and they will not be able to participate in the official team of the ancestor worship ceremony, which is a blow in itself, and they will not get a witness seat, which is really not conducive to the unity of the family. As for those affiliated families of the Long family, it is also a big trouble, if it can't be coordinated well, it will cause suspicion and estrangement. As for the allies of the Long family, they must participate. The two forces below are only out of deterrence and etiquette, and it seems that it is insignificant whether they participate or not. Thinking of this, Long Teng said: "I think this matter is indeed very troublesome, why don't you leave it to the family Dragon Martial Association to deal with?"
Long Dazhuang said: "If that's okay, what else do you want us to do with the Ancestor Worship Preparatory Committee?" Long Dazhuang said the matter, and his mood was much better, although there was still no solution, but he knew that the child cared about himself, and he was somewhat comforted in his heart.
Long Teng said again: "The ancestor worship ceremony, not only this one, should have encountered similar things before, how did you solve it?" Long Dazhuang has been worried about the ancestor worship list recently, and he has never thought of this matter, but after being reminded by Long Teng, he seems to have seen a glimmer of light, and his mood has improved.
