Chapter 24: Making Friends
Looking at the layers of spirit stones on the ground, it is quite visually impactful. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
At the beginning, it cost more than 300 spirit stones to buy a "Ascension Pill", which made the original Guo An bankrupt, and because he couldn't take out ten spirit stones to bribe, he let himself be sacrificed, and almost perished.
In the past, I always felt that my eyes were blue when I was short of money. Now that the five hundred spirit stones are placed in front of his eyes, Guo An finds that his spiritual realm is much higher, and at this moment he can maintain a normal heart, without the joy of a windfall from heaven, he almost regards it as dung.
"But that's it!"
Guo An put the spirit stone into the storage bag.
If you have money, you can spend money on things.
Thinking of the hidden dangers in the family that I discovered last night, now is the time to start preventing them. Let's buy a property for each of your younger siblings first, so that they can grow up carefree in the future. In Guo An's eyes, there is no distinction between men and women, and younger brothers and sisters are treated equally. And the education of younger siblings should also be well planned.
Just wanted to plan for the future, and personally followed Yang Keyi to report to the second uncle Guo Ningcun and the second aunt Wang and his cousin Guo Shouping to visit Guo An.
The second uncle has no spiritual roots, and neither do his cousins and cousins, so his grandfather doesn't care about it, so he only bought a two-entry house and two small industries for the second uncle's family in Nancheng District, and his life is not too rich. Grandma also often subsidizes the second uncle's family.
I just had a conversation with my father and second uncle, and my aunt Guo Xiuqi and uncle Xing Mingzhu also came
Uncle Xing Mingzhu is the son-in-law of the small family Xing family, but there is no spiritual root, and the Xing family bought a two-entry house for his aunt and uncle in Dongcheng District for him to live in.
The family spoke in the main hall, and the visitors followed.
The second uncle's family and aunt's family went to the backyard to rest temporarily, and the front hall was left for Guo An to receive guests.
The first to arrive was Guo Hainan, Guo An's cousin Guo Feng's housekeeper, who visited Guo An on behalf of Guo Feng.
"My lord is in retreat and cultivating, so it's not convenient to travel. The master specially instructed Hainan to come to greet the young master on behalf of my lord. Now that the young master is safe, my master must be at ease. The old man asked Hainan to tell the young master that he must take care of himself in the future, and now the young master is the hope of the future of our department. The master also asked him to send a bottle of "Pei Yuan Dan" to the next generation, wishing the young master's cultivation to improve. After speaking, Guo Hainan offered a bottle of pill with both hands.
"There is a housekeeper Lao, greet Uncle Tang on behalf of Guo An. Uncle Tang should be strong and strong, the pillar of our family, and Guo An has always respected Uncle Tang. When Guo An has free time, he should come to the door in person to thank him. Guo An respectfully accepted the pill.
Uncle Guo Feng is over eighty years old this year, and the cultivation of the eighth layer of the Qi refining period has reached the top, if there is no accident, this life will be like this. It was not suitable for someone of his age to come to visit Guo An, so he asked the housekeeper to do it for him. This bottle of Pei Yuan Dan is worth more than thirty spirit stones, and it is not light to use it as a gift.
The next to arrive was the deacon sent by Guo Mang, the head of the fourth branch of the branch.
Guo Mang, the head of the fourth branch, is the grandson of Guo Qiu, the ancestor of this branch.
In the Xiuzhen family, the Jindan Ancestor generally does not care about things, but the head of the family handles trivial matters and manages the clansmen.
This deacon's name was Guo Ju, and he said kindly to Guo An, "Guo An, your great name has spread all over Chili Mountain, and your actions have added glory to the family's reputation. Therefore, the head of the family decided to reward you with 200 spirit stones, and asked me to tell you that the head of the family let you cultivate with peace of mind, and if you have difficulties, you can come to the head of the family. ”
Guo An replied respectfully: "Guo An is ashamed of the love of the head of the family, thanks to the wrong love of the head of the family, Guo An will work hard in the future, put the family first in everything, and do his best for the family." ”
The tired deacon worked tirelessly for Guo An, which made Guo Anxin uneasy. Guo An learned his lesson and hurriedly took out twenty spirit stones from his storage bag and gave them to Deacon Guo Ju.
Guo Ju put it away with a smile on his face, then took out the deacon's special storage bag and handed it to Guo An two hundred spirit stones, and at the same time he secretly said in his heart: "Who said that Guo An is young and ignorant and stingy, isn't this quite enlightening?"
Sending Deacon Guo Ju out of the gate and looking at his back, Guo Anxin realized, "Most of the family deacons are low-level qi practitioners with no future, and they can't be regarded as cultivators. Their only motivation is spirit stones. The purpose is either to make life better for the family, or to prepare spiritual resources for the next generation, or simply to enjoy yourself. The extravagant enjoyment of eating, drinking, and having fun in the cultivation realm is not comparable to mortals, and the natural cost is even greater.
If you lose your Dao heart, lose your motivation to cultivate, and are confused by the Huahua world in front of you and relax your cultivation, you will become like this kind of person in the future, and you will be reduced to the bottom of the cultivation world all day long. It's not even as good as such people, but they still have an iron rice bowl. ”
With this clear understanding, Guo An's cultivation heart became firmer.
Later, Guo Gan, the patriarch of the Guo clan, also sent a deacon to commend Guo An.
The patriarch is the face of the clan, and he must be cultivated in the Jindan period to serve as the one. The patriarch Guo Qian is the fifth son of the first ancestor Guo Jie. After the first ancestor was destroyed, before Guo Qian became Jindan, the second ancestor Guo Jun served as the patriarch.
Guo Gan's qualifications are only middle and upper-class, and it is the large amount of resources left by the first ancestor Guo Xie that he piled up the Jindan period of cultivation. Therefore, he became Jindan relatively late, and his contribution to the family was not as great as that of the second and third ancestors.
After Guo Qian became a Jindan Zhenren, the second ancestor Guo Jun immediately abdicated and gave way to Xian, passing the position of patriarch to Guo Gan. The main internal reason is that Guo Gan's maternal family is strong, and it is the Su family, which is the top 20 family "Shenmel Mountain" Su family, which has been established for more than 2,000 years. With the support of the Su family of Shenshan Mountain, the Guo family can gain a firm foothold in the land of Bai'an. Moreover, Guo Gan's ability is not bad, and the patriarch of the family is a busy position, delaying his cultivation.
Moreover, after the second ancestor Guo Jun was destroyed, in order to support the family, he was plotted by others again and again, and his injuries could not be healed, and he really had no energy to serve as the patriarch. The same is true of the Three Ancestors. Moreover, the second and third ancestors are all concubines, and there is no strong support from the mother and wife behind them.
It can be seen from this that the rise of a family has a large number of clansmen sacrificed for it. It's impossible to sit back and enjoy it without contributing.
Even if you are an arrogant and domineering child who has a good tire, he also knows how to measure. The gentlemen who don't know how to measure are dead. Because this is the cultivation realm, the cruel cultivation realm, even the patriarch of a family can be plotted by others, only because of good luck and strong strength can not die, you are a little gentleman who is calculated to die, you think you are unlucky! Whoever loves to avenge you will avenge you, and the family will not care about you.
The patriarch Guo Qian gave Guo An three hundred spirit stones, and also let the deacon bring some words of encouragement.
Send off the deacon sent by the patriarch.
Guo An knew that he had not been at peace these days.
During this period, Chen Bo took Ba Qingshan, Gu Fengdong and Lin Lisong to meet Guo An and waited at the door of the study. After dealing with foreign affairs, Guo An came to meet Ba Qingshan and the three.
It has only been a few days since the establishment of Dafeng Hall, and there is not even a prototype, and the three of them are ashamed.
Guo An is not in a hurry for the construction of Dafeng Hall, and it is better to recruit people than to overdo it, and there is no major action at this stage, focusing on cultivating new people. After a few words of encouragement, let everyone go back and wait for their tasks first.
At noon, Guo An and his parents had lunch with his second uncle and aunt, and then went back to the practice room to continue practicing.
In the next few days, there were often monks from the Qi refining period who came to visit Guo An, most of them were elite children of the various cultivation families in Chili City, a small number of them were casual cultivators, and of course a few were liars.
Guo An does not live in a vacuum, and now he does not have a grandfather to shelter him, so he needs to deal with some personal contacts by himself.
Interpersonal communication in the cultivation realm is very important, after all, it is indispensable to practice the four major elements of the Dharma of wealth and wealth, and to cultivate Taoist friends. With more friends comes more opportunities.
Of course, there has been an increase in crises.
In this cultivation realm, there are not a few monks who have been killed by Taoist friends.
On this day, Guo An was at home to receive several friends who had come to visit, and they were all elite children of the major cultivation families in Chili City.
Lu Kun, who is seventeen years old this year, has eight layers of qi training, is a young man, and although his demeanor is a little immature, he has a strong aura as a leader. Middle-class and upper-grade spiritual roots, whose qualifications are not inferior to those of the Guo family, were cultivated by the Lu family and were not sent to the sect.
The Lu family is the first cultivation family under the Guo clan in Chili Mountain, there is a Jindan ancestor in the family, nine monks in the foundation building period, and the family headquarters is in the Yumai Xiangfeng Ridge on the edge of Chili Mountain. Even the Guo family has to be polite to the Lu family, and they can't be contemptuous.
Therefore, the descendants of the Lu family can use a single word as their own name.
Fan Xingzhang, sixteen years old this year, has a seventh-level Qi practice, and has some baby faces, a descendant of the Fan family.
The Fan family is also the top cultivation family in Chili City, with seven foundation building stage cultivators and more than sixty qi refining cultivators in the family.
Bian Fugui, fifteen years old this year, has six levels of qi training, and is silent, but every time he speaks, he has something to say.
The Bian family has six foundation building stage monks and nearly sixty Qi refining stage monks.
Shan Kexing, fifteen years old this year, has five layers of qi training, and is the most lively and active.
There are six foundation building period cultivators and nearly fifty qi refining cultivators in a single family.
Lu Kun, Fan Xingzhang, Bian Fugui and Shan Kexing did not despise Guo An because he was young, but admired Guo An's character very much. In the past few days, I have been communicating and discussing with Guo An.
Everyone is young and has a similar temperament, so they can talk quite well. Whether it is a scenic spot, or a variety of anecdotes in Chili City, or the secrets of the sect, etc., they are all in the scope of discussion.
All these made Guo An feel eye-opening.
Of course, the most talked about is about spiritual practice.
Although the secret methods of each exercise cannot be revealed, the experience of cultivation can be exchanged. For example, how to practice more efficiently, when to take that kind of pill, what exercises should be used and what magic tools should be used to exert the maximum power, and so on.
In this regard, inheriting part of the memories of the original Guo An and Wei Dongping, the current Guo An is not afraid of anyone, and his speech must always touch on the core of the problem, and the methods or "conjectures" he says can inspire Lu Kun and others.
In this way, everyone looked up to Guo An. Originally, everyone thought that Guo An was just of good character, but as for being able to survive on the Jindan battlefield, it was mainly the result of the deliberate protection of the Guo family's Jindan ancestor. But now that such an exchange has made it clear that Guo An is indeed talented and powerful, and he is not the "scarecrow benchmark" set up by the Guo family as everyone imagined, except for his fame.
At this time, everyone talked about the future ideals, and Guo An felt it for a while.
"Yu thinks: those who are good at the Tao are subtle and mysterious, and they are unrecognizable. The husband is not only unrecognizable, so he is forced to tolerate; Yu Xi is like a winter wading river; he is afraid of his neighbors; he is like a guest; he is like a guest; he is like a Lingshi; he is simple; he is like a valley; he is muddy; he is turbid, and he is turbid, and he is quiet. The husband is not profitable, so it can be concealed and new. The rest of my life's quest is also. ”
"I said, junior brother Guo An, how can you have such deep thoughts at such a young age, you won't feel that this world is very dangerous and terrible because of a dangerous encounter, and you will have the idea of "being born in seclusion", right?"
Guo An discussed with several people, put forward some of the views of the Tao Te Ching that he had read in his previous life, and shared them with everyone, which was also to express his own mind-mindedness.
Lu Kun deserves to be the elite of the Lu family and the successor of the next generation of the Lu family. Although he had never been exposed to the Tao Te Ching and did not understand its profound ideology, he could still hear the spiritual connotation of negative escapism. However, this kind of thinking is contrary to the mainstream thinking of the current heavenly world.
People in the world of heaven and earth believe that the resources of this world are limited, but people are unlimited. If you want to be detached and control your own destiny, you can only strive for it.
"It's not right for you to think so, you should go out and walk around more and get in touch with this great world. It just so happens that Miss Xianglan from Huanyulou is going to dance in public today, so you can go with me and take a good seat in the front row as soon as possible. Watching Miss Xianglan's "Dancing Fairy" is a supreme enjoyment. Its figure is graceful, its pace is light, and it is fluttering to see the flying immortals. It's really a must to leave the city and even Yuzhou, it's a pity not to see it. ”
"Yes, yes, Brother Lu is right, Guo An, let's go together!" Shan Kexing very much agreed with Miss Xianglan's evaluation, and tried his best to encourage Guo An to go to Huanyu Tower.
"Hey, you went to visit the Qinglou at such a young age, does your mother know?" Guo Anxin sneered in his abdomen.
Huanyu Building, Yulu Pavilion, Caichun Building and Qinghua Pavilion, the four major sales of gold caves, Guo An had heard of it in Lifeng Academy, but he had never been in his heart.
Fan Xingzhang also looked yearning, but he didn't speak.
Bian Fugui was calm and looked disapproving.
Thanks to the kindness of the brothers, Guo An also wanted to go and have a look. But whenever I think of my little brother going out to play, but my grandfather is paralyzed in bed and suffering from the virus, my little brother's heart is so panicked that I can't rest easy. Therefore, the younger brother secretly made up his mind not to refine the elixir of detoxification to heal his grandfather, and the younger brother did not dare to relax a little. I hope you will forgive me. "Guo An, who is only twelve years old, doesn't dare to visit the Qinglou.
"Well, since Brother Guo An values filial piety, then we don't want to make it difficult for others. Let's take our leave first, and come back tomorrow to tell you about Miss Xianglan's wonderful fairy dance performance. Junior brother Guo An, you should study hard!" Lu Kun saw Guo An's resolute attitude, so he stopped persuading.
