Chapter 923: The last old friend Qin Shi's plea (3200 words, please subscribe)

In the past nine years, Wu Hong's cultivation has not improved at all because he has been studying the "Rotten Wood and Fufeng Manual" given to him by Ling Pengyun nine years ago.

After chatting, the ancestor of Lingfu also knowingly called over the three Ling family talisman-making seedlings "Ling Renyang", "Ling Lizui" and "Wang Quan" who Ling Pengyun had placed beside him nine years ago. Meet Ling Pengyun.

Ling Renyang and the other three were very happy to see the arrival of Ling Pengyun, Yan Siyi and others. After all, they were their ancestors, and Ling Pengyun also brought them the opportunity to learn Talisman Tao from the ancestors of Lingfu. .

Ling Pengyun also inspired the three of them, and spent some time to guide the three of them to practice together with Yan Siyi, especially Ling Licui, who had the weakest cultivation qualifications among them. Ling Pengyun also asked Yan Siyi to give guidance alone. She practiced a method for three days.

This matter is over.

Ling Pengyun and Yan Siyi also had free time, and they took Ling Chengxia, Ling Chengping and other juniors to a luxuriously decorated courtyard on Jiaomang Island.

Not long after knocking on the courtyard door, the door was opened by a young woman.

This woman was wearing a blue plain dress, her sleeves were bulging, there were some sweat stains on her forehead, and her black hair was messy and stuck to her cheeks, making her look extremely fragile and pitiful.

When the young woman saw the arrival of Ling Pengyun's family, her face suddenly lit up with joy.

"Yue'er has met Uncle Pengyun, Aunt Siyi, Brother Cheng Xia, Sister Cheng Ping..."

"I heard from dad before that Uncle Pengyun and you are coming to the branch. Dad originally thought that you and the palace master would wait for the Jindan Patriarch to finish his work before going to see you, but I didn't expect that Uncle Pengyun would come to us soon. "

"I hope Uncle Pengyun won't blame us for being negligent."

Ling Pengyun looked at the compassionate female cultivator who called herself Yue'er in front of him with a kind face, as if he was looking at his direct descendant, and said with a smile.

"Hahaha, what nonsense are you talking about, you silly boy?"

After saying that, Ling Pengyun looked at Yue'er who was busy in front of him and said doubtfully.

"Yue'er, what are you busy with? Why do you look like this?"

Yue'er replied with a bit of harvest joy.

"A few days ago, most of the spiritual flowers planted in the more than ten acres of spiritual fields in the courtyard of my home were mature, so I picked all the spiritual flowers. Today I happened to be planting some spiritual seeds of spiritual flowers in those spiritual fields. In the empty spiritual field."

"Speaking of this, Yue'er has a gift for you, Uncle Pengyun."

With that said, she took out six glass bottles filled with golden liquid from the storage bag and handed them to Ling Pengyun's family, one for each of them.

"Uncle Pengyun, these are some second-grade mid-grade nectar produced by the group of nectar butterflies at home this year. The taste is particularly good. I hope Uncle Pengyun won't dislike it."

Ling Pengyun took the glass bottle in his hand, opened the lid, took a sip, and felt the fragrance of various spiritual flowers contained in the honey in his mouth. The smile on his face couldn't help but become brighter.

"This tastes good. You can eat the nectar produced by the group of nectar butterflies that our Yue'er carefully takes care of every year. How can I dislike it, uncle?"

"I'm just afraid that Yue'er will grow up and forget about me as an old uncle after she gets married."

Yue'er's fair and pretty face turned red and she said a little shyly.

"How could it happen, Uncle Pengyun?"

When Ling Pengyun saw this, he laughed loudly, took out a small bag that he had already prepared, and handed it to Yue'er.

"Hahaha, I won't tease you girl anymore."

"These are some rare second-order spiritual flower seeds that your Aunt Siyi and I bought while leaving the family a few days ago. When they mature, they will look very good."

"It also produces more pollen, which is also helpful for the nectar butterflies you keep in captivity to produce nectar."

Yue'er's eyes were filled with joy, and after thanking Ling Pengyun, she took the bag of seeds.

"By the way, where is your father."

Ling Pengyun asked.

"Dad is taking a nap in the yard."

"Uncle Pengyun, Aunt Siyi, let's come in and chat."

Yue'er said with a smile.

Ling Pengyun nodded lightly, and then entered the courtyard with Yan Siyi and others.

The courtyard of this courtyard is not small, covering an area of ​​twenty acres. Although most of the areas have been developed into spiritual fields, the spiritual fields are planted with some exotic flowers and plants, and from time to time there are a group of colorful butterflies. Dancing in it looks unique.

Some open areas are also planted with some vegetation, which has a natural atmosphere.

On the left side of the courtyard, under an old tree, there is an old man with a face as wrinkled as tree bark, a head covered with white hair, and a body full of lifelessness, sleeping soundly on a back chair.

When Ling Pengyun, Yan Siyi, and the other juniors watched this scene, their brows became a little heavier.

This old man is "Qin Shi", a good friend that Ling Pengyun and Yan Siyi made in their early years. Qin Shi is also the last friend of the two of them. Several other friends who also came from Bailingmen have lived together for many decades. Yuan Zuo turned away, or was poisoned by evil cultivators or monsters.

Those few friends also left behind many descendants, some of whom were successful, and they all lived well in the Jiaomang Lake branch. Every Spring Festival, those juniors would also send gifts to Ling Pengyun, Yan Siyi and his wife to pay New Year greetings, and the relationship was still there.

But after all, we are separated by a generation, and we don’t get close to each other much anymore.

However, those juniors have a good relationship with Ling Chengxia, the son of Ling Pengyun.

Ling Chengxia has been in the Jiaomang Lake branch for the past decades, taking the four golden dragons under his command to practice in the dragon vein here. Therefore, he has often been in contact with Ling Pengyun and Yan Siyi, who were good friends in their early years. .

Ling Pengyun and Yan Siyi also planned to visit the descendants of the other friends after seeing their last old friend, Qin Shi, to see how they were doing, and if they could help, they would help.

As for that "Yue'er", she is Qin Shi's daughter. Now she is just over thirty years old. She is at the seventh level of Qi training and has the third spiritual root qualification.

Above her, there are two brothers, Qin Ping and Qin An, who are much more qualified than Qin Yue'er. Now, both brothers Qin Ping and Qin An have joined the foundation building, and they are the former general servants of the Jiaomang Lake branch. Under the care of the hall master, they entered the sect's general affairs hall. If they succeed in the future, Qin Shi, the ancestor of Lingfu who has been loyal to them for a long time, will also give them a chance to promote them.

In addition, Qin Shi also has a dozen children, but they all have no spiritual roots and were sent to the mortal world by Qin Shi long ago.

The Taoist monks and concubines that Qin Shi married in his early years all passed away one after another decades ago.

"I didn't expect that after just nine years, Taoist Fellow Qin Shi's body would be in such a bad state. I'm afraid that within two or three years, Fellow Taoist Qin Shi's lifespan will... be exhausted. This great avenue is really... ruthless."

Ling Pengyun felt a little sad and sighed.

If Qin Shi, an old friend, also dies, Ling Pengyun will not have any of the friends he made in his early years.

At this time, Yue'er also quickly stepped forward, walked to the old monk, gently shook the old man's arm, and shook the old man awake.

At first, the old man looked confused, but when he saw Ling Pengyun and his wife arriving, his wrinkled face also lit up with joy. Immediately, he stood up tremblingly and stepped forward to greet them. Very happy.

"Brother Ling, Sister Siyi, your family is here, but you didn't say hello in advance, so I was unprepared!"

Ling Pengyun replied with a slight smile on his face.

"It's a blessing to meet old friends."

Afterwards, three old friends who had not seen each other for nine years gathered together and started chatting at a small table in the courtyard.

As for the juniors such as Ling Chengxia, Ling Chengping, Lin Fan, Ling Wanhan and Qin Yue'er, they went to chat inside the house, leaving this space to the elders.

After a long time, when Ling Pengyun and others were about to finish their words, Ling Pengyun saw that Qin Shi had been hesitating, as if he had something he wanted to say, so he took the initiative to ask.

"Brother Qin, if you have anything to say, it doesn't matter. There is no need to hide it between us."

Hearing this, Qin Shi hesitated for a while, and then spoke with a hint of pleading.

"Brother Ling, you also know that I have two sons and one daughter who have spiritual roots. My two eldest sons are pretty good and should be able to take over from me in the future."

"But I can't worry about Yue'er. Although this girl also has the qualification of three spiritual roots, she is not bad, but this child has been spoiled by her mother since she was a child. She has a delicate personality and does not like fighting. She only likes all kinds of flowers and plants. Such a character , it’s somewhat inappropriate to stay in this Jiaomang Lake branch.”

"Although the Jiaomang Lake branch seems to be dominated by the Lingfu Ancestor and his family, recently, the faction of the sect leader Bai Lingzhenren has gained a Jindan, and its strength has greatly increased. The sect leader's faction has also gradually eroded the Lingfu Ancestor and his family here. Symbol of Divisional Rights.”

"Nowadays, there are many monks from the sect leader's faction in this branch."

"According to my guess, I'm afraid that there will be some turmoil in this branch in the near future."

"I shouldn't worry about my two sons, but I really can't worry about my daughter. Her two brothers are currently only building foundations, and her mother died decades ago after running out of life. Once there is turmoil here, my two sons will not be able to protect that little girl."

"In addition, my little girl is quite old."

"I'm thinking of asking Brother Ling and Sister Siyi to help my daughter find a good husband in the Ling family so that she can marry into the Ling family and gain the protection of the nobles."

Ling Pengyun and Yan Siyi also heard about the situation of the Jiaomang Lake branch from family intelligence.

Naturally, the two of them would not refuse such a simple thing as their friend Qin Shi asked for.

Even if Qin Shi didn't say anything, they still intended for Qin Yue'er to marry into the Ling family.

They are very familiar with Qin Shi's daughter Qin Yue'er, and it can even be said that they like her very much. She has long regarded her as a junior in the family. Not only is she very polite to her elders, but she is also very gentle and virtuous.

Qin Shi's Taoist wife and concubines died early, so Qin Yue'er did all the chores for the family.

Nowadays, their home is extremely tidy, without a trace of mess, which is enough to show that Qin Yue'er is more diligent.

In the early years, Ling Pengyun and his wife even wanted to match up their only son, Ling Chengxia, with Qin Yuer, but they were so familiar with each other and had a big age difference that they were not on the same level at all.

Ling Chengxia currently has no intention of marrying a Taoist companion, and has always regarded Qin Yuer as a younger sister.

Qin Yue'er also regarded Ling Chengxia as an elder brother with a very high level of cultivation.

This also led to the idea that neither of them had any intention of getting married to each other.
