Chapter 447: Death Seclusion

One of the two monks in retreat finally succeeded in building the foundation, which made Zhang Zhixuan feel a little better.

After Zhang Guangliang stabilized his state, Zhang Zhixuan sent him to Jiuhua Mountain.

Although this family's spiritual vein has been recovered for almost a hundred years, due to the lack of manpower in the family, no foundation-building monks have been sent to manage it. It is considered the weakest link in the Zhang family's defense.

In fact, the family invested a lot in the spiritual veins of Jiuhua Mountain. Not only did they open up three fire eyes, they also built a large number of caves on this spiritual mountain for rent, and continuously cultivated thirty acres of spiritual land.

The net profit this spiritual mountain brings to the Zhang family every year has exceeded six hundred spiritual stones, which is enough to support the cultivation of two foundation-building monks.

After Zhang Guangliang rushed to Jiuhua Mountain, he immediately began to clean up and rectify the situation. He drove a group of casual cultivators out of the mortal world and made them serve as local officials in the villages and towns near Jiuhua Mountain.

Then he severely dealt with the two monks who took advantage of the lax supervision to poach the family, ending the decades-long chaotic management of this spiritual vein.

While Zhang Guangliang was reorganizing Jiuhua Mountain, on Tiantai Peak, a father and son who had been forgotten for many years were having their final detailed talks.

"Tongpeng, it's all because of me as a useless father. Not only did I not save any resources for you, but I also hindered you from helping to pay off the family's debts. You are not even forty years old, why bother to rush and take risks to pass the test? Once you have Accident, what should I do next?”

The person who spoke was Zhang Siming. His spiritual roots were very good. Although he was a monk with three spiritual roots, his cultivation speed in the early years was no slower than that of Zhang Sihong because his spiritual roots complemented each other.

Coupled with the support of his father Zhang Zhijing, he took the Foundation Building Pill when he was in his forties.

Unfortunately, like Zhang Shengdai, Zhang Siming failed to build the foundation and still owed seven thousand spiritual stones. Now it has been fifty years since he failed to build the foundation, and this debt has not been paid off yet. If he doesn't finish it in this life, he will even have to bring it to his son Zhang Tongpeng to repay the father's debt.

Although what Zhang Siming said was very sad, Zhang Tongpeng remained unmoved:

"Father, I have never complained about you. If something happens to me, you still have the third child. Although his spiritual roots are not good, there is still no problem in taking care of you until you die. The debts our family has owed over the years are only I have already lost a thousand spiritual stones, and I should be able to pay them back before my father dies. The younger you are, the better your chances of winning. According to my estimation, a sixty-year-old monk who passes the level is almost as good as going through hell, but it is three years old. Monks who pass the test in their teens have a slightly higher probability of success.

I am thirty-nine years old this year, and it has been seven years since I reached the ninth level of qi training. If I don’t take a fight at this time, I’m afraid I won’t have the mental energy to do it after I’m 40, and I’ll have to waste my time practicing qi like you and your grandfather. period realm.

Instead of living like this, I would rather die. "

Seeing Zhang Tongpeng's resolute attitude, Zhang Siming continued to persuade: "Tongpeng, don't think that your fourteenth uncle can break through without using the Foundation Establishment Pill, and you feel that you have a chance of winning. Before you were born, it was not that there were no risks in the family. Among the monks in Guan, only one Zhang Zhixuan has been achieved under these bones. The fourteenth uncle is a genius. Others can't compare with him. You still have seventy or eighty years of life, even if you can't build the foundation. Life is wonderful, why should you be so stubborn and try to get into trouble?”

Zhang Tongpeng shook his head and said: "Father, please stop talking. I will never look back no matter what. This time of seclusion, everything will be fine if it succeeds. If it fails, just pretend that you did not raise my son."

Seeing that Zhang Tongpeng was not getting enough food and salt, Zhang Siming held his hand and determined not to let him go into seclusion.

"Tongpeng, I'm going to put on such an old face and beg you, Aunt Sijin, to think of a way to raise some good deeds for you. You are still young and you still have twenty years. After twenty years, you may not be able to collect three thousand good deeds to exchange for a building." Kidan, you are still young, just listen to my advice!”

"Father, why do you have to deceive yourself? In order to repay debts over the years, our father and son have already sold off all the magic weapons we have. Even if Aunt Sijin is a brother-in-law with you, how much can she lend to us? She has only built the foundation for more than thirty years, and she owes The family's debt of 7,000 yuan is still being repaid, and she also needs to consider her own path and need cultivation resources. Our family already owes a lot to the family, so why bother others? "

Zhang Siming tried to persuade him for a few days, but seeing that Zhang Tongpeng was still determined, he had no choice but to go to Zhang Sijin and ask her to help persuade him.

Among the more than ten foundation-building monks in the family, Zhang Siming and Zhang Sijin have the best relationship. They are about the same age. They both practiced in Lingjing Mountain since childhood and were playmates in their youth.

After Zhang Siming failed to build the foundation, he has been practicing at Tiantai Peak to assist Sijin in guarding the family spiritual mountain.

Because they had to repay the 7,000 good deeds they owed for exchanging the Foundation Establishment Pills, Zhang Siming and his son's life had always been tight. After Sijin Established the Foundation, he often exchanged the family's good deeds for some Qi training period monks' training resources for Zhang Tongpeng to practice.

The reason why Zhang Tongpeng reached the ninth level of Qi training when he was in his thirties was not only because he was wise and sensible and practiced early, but also because he had no shortage of various spiritual pills for practice.

Unfortunately, no matter what they said, Zhang Siming still made up his mind to stay in seclusion.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Sijin felt a little sad. She patted Zhang Tongpeng on the shoulder and said, "Good boy, although my aunt doesn't want you to take such a dangerous step, you have such ambition. As an elder, I am also pleased. Yes. It’s very dangerous to pass without the Foundation Establishment Pill. Let my aunt take a look at what preparations you have made.”

Zhang Tongpeng took out a shabby book. The edges of the book had been rolled up, and it was obvious that someone had read it frequently.

Zhang Sijin picked it up and looked at it, and found that the content of the book was full of circles, and he also wrote down a lot of insights below the text. It seemed that he had studied hard for at least several years.

The author of this book is none other than Zhang Zhixuan, the famous ancestor of the Zhang family, and the content is about his experience in building foundations and passing through barriers.

Because he did not take the Foundation Establishment Pill to build his foundation, the monks in his family rarely went to the Sutra Pavilion to redeem this book. That is to say, Zhang Tongpeng, who was dragged down by his father and was in a state of embarrassment, had already made plans to take the risk and pass the test, so he spent a hundred good deeds to exchange for this book and study it a few years in advance.

Zhang Sijin said: "Silly boy, Uncle Fourteen also used the Moon Watching Pill when he broke through the Foundation Establishment Stage. How can you have any chance of winning without using foreign objects? Although my aunt is temporarily unable to help you redeem the Foundation Establishment Pill, I will give you a Moon Watching Pill. It can still be done.”

Sijin performed some good deeds and exchanged a pill for Zhang Tongpeng. With unspeakable feelings, she silently sent Zhang Tongpeng to die.

Because Zhang Tongpeng's seclusion was very dangerous, Sijin and Siming had no intention of practicing, so they silently chose to protect him, hoping to see him one last time even if they failed to pass the seclusion.
