Chapter 24

The rising sun shines on the Yunbi peak, and the ancestral temple of the Shen family is shining in the sun. On the open space in front of the ancestral temple, several five or six-year-old children lined up as if waiting for something.

One of the children pulled the sleeves of the adults next to him,

"Dad, what spiritual root do you think I am? If only I were a heavenly spiritual root." The child said naively, because he heard that tianlinggen was the most powerful.

The adults on one side couldn't help laughing and scolding lovingly:

"What do you think tianlinggen is? Let alone the Shen family, even Qingyun gate doesn't have it. There has been no tianlinggen in Lingnan for thousands of years. Your boy can daydream! "

"Maybe?" The child said a little wronged.

"Well, our family chi'er is a heavenly spirit root. Cultivate into a great monk and protect the family, okay?" The man said lovingly.

"Good!" The child smiled happily.

……

The door of the ancestral temple finally opened. The child watched other children go in one by one and then come out. He was very curious about what was going on in the ancestral temple. Would it take so long to measure the spiritual root?

The child looked anxious,

"Why isn't it my turn?"

Finally it was his turn. He ran inside happily, but when he thought of what adults said, there was no noise and rudeness in front of the ancestral temple. He immediately slowed down and walked in slowly.

When he entered the ancestral temple, he saw a row of wooden signboards dedicated there, from high down, with candles lit next to them. He saw an old man sitting in front of the memorial tablet looking at himself.

"What's the little guy looking at? He hasn't come yet." The old man looked at him lovingly.

"Oh."

The child went to the old man and saw his white hair and wrinkles on his face, but his temperament was so approachable that he couldn't help leaning over.

"Put your hands here and let me see."

The child obediently put it up and thought:

"This is the spirit root. I don't know if my spirit root is a heavenly spirit root?"

The old man held the child's wrist, injected a spiritual force into it, and began to explore his spiritual root.

After a while, the old man looked happy and said:

"Good!"

Then a spiritual force was injected into it, and the child dared not speak when he looked at the old man. After a while, the old man finally let go of the child's wrist and laughed:

"Yes! Good! Heaven will never die, my Shen family! Ha ha... "

I saw the old man's smile on his face and laughed wildly to the sky.

The child was too frightened to look at the old man in front of him.

After laughing, the old man noticed the child, looked excited and asked:

"What's your name?"

"My name is Shen Chi."

"Shen Chi, Shen Chi... Gallop around the world, good, good."

Then he opened a black book and wrote, "Shen huanchi".

"Come here." Said to the child.

Pointing to the newly written words, he said to the child:

"This is your new name, Shen huanchi."

The child saw that it was full of names,

"Shen Yucang, Wang Lingwen, Shen Wen..." but these names are blood red.

Finally, I found my name below. The names of myself and several others are black.

"Drop a drop of blood." The old man said, picked up the child's hand, and a drop of blood dropped on the name. The three words immediately seemed to be alive and more flexible.

The child pointed to his name and the red name on it and asked:

"Why is mine black?"

The old man was silent for a moment, pointed to the only black name in the upper row and said:

"Because we're still alive."

The child looked at the name he pointed to, Shen Wenhong.

The child nodded vaguely.

"Come with me."

Come to the throne,

"Kneel down and kowtow three times."

Just as he kowtowed, a solemn voice came,

"Shen huanchi, the third generation of Shen's descendants, listen. I hope you can practice hard and uphold the ancestral teachings to ensure that our Shen family will continue to inherit."

The child was shocked and couldn't help saying

"Yes."

Everything returned to calm, and the old man looked at him with indescribable joy.

"Get up and report to the Shuwu hall."

The old man returned to the mat and closed his eyes to think about it.

When the child was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something and said:

"Am I tianlinggen?"

"No."

The child is a little depressed.

"You are the root of the earth." The old man stopped talking.

……

The child walked out of the ancestral temple and came to his adults, looking depressed.

"What's the matter with chi'er? Has the patriarch given his name?"

"Well, my name is Shen huanchi."

"Hahaha, OK, my son is also a monk." The child's father was immediately happy.

"But the old man inside said I was the root of the Earth Spirit." The child looked depressed.

"Earthling root? I haven't heard of this. " The man thought for a moment and said. After all, he is just a mortal and doesn't know what the Earth Spirit root is. He only knows that there are few Heaven spirit roots.

Looking at his son's expression, he comforted:

"It's all right. We can cultivate. It's much better than me. Your mother and I can live on you at the foot of the mountain."

In the conversation between father and son, they walked to Shuwu hall.

……

Five years have passed since the spirit root was detected. Shen huanchi has the highest cultivation in the family school, with four levels of Qi practice.

Now he also understood the meaning of the Earth Spirit root and why the old man was so happy.

Shen huanchi had just finished his training when a clansman came and asked him to go to the patriarch.

Shen huanchi comes to the spirit cave in Houshan. The patriarch is waiting for him. The old man who helped him measure the spirit root is the contemporary patriarch, a foundation building friar. It is also his hard support that the Shen family can develop smoothly.

"Patriarch, you are looking for me." Shen huanchi bowed respectfully. The old man at this time looks older than a few years ago.

"Huanchi is coming. It's good. I've been practicing Qi for four layers. Heaven won't kill my Shen family."

"Do you have any problems in your cultivation?" The old man asked patiently.

Shen huanchi immediately asked some questions, and the old man also answered them. He answered some questions during the Qi training period with his experience of building a foundation friar, which was more profound and thorough, and some places were a little transparent.

Of course, not all people in the Qi training period have this treatment. Generally, some people in the later Qi training period answer them. It is Shen huanchi, who is endowed with family hope, who can listen to the teachings of friar Zhuji.

finally,

"Huanchi, practice well and strive for the great perfection of Qi as soon as possible. I'll find a way for you to build a Jidan." Then he handed Shen huanchi several bottles of pills.

"It's reasonable to say that you don't need to take too many pills according to your qualifications, but you can't do it now. The family can't wait too long, and I can't support it for that long." The old man said regretfully, with a sense of helplessness in his tone.

"Huan Chi will live up to the high expectations of the patriarch."

……

In the next few years, Shen huanchi's cultivation was also growing rapidly. After practicing Qi, he went to Hushang square to make a living. Because he knew that the family could not support him too much now. At the same time, he also had to practice his mind and polish his accomplishments over the years.

One day, a news came from the family. Shen huanchi hurried to the family.

When he came to Houshan patriarch's cave, Shen huanchi saw the old man sitting on the mat and Shen huanchi showed a long lost smile,

"Well, I've been practicing Qi for nine floors. Unfortunately... Cough... I can't wait. I can't see you building the foundation..." the old man said intermittently.

"Patriarch, you'll be fine. I saw a section of huanglongshen in Hushang square this time. I borrowed some Lingshi from the family and went to buy it..." Shen huanchi looked at the old man in front of him and said anxiously.

"It's no use. I'm really running out of longevity. It's better to leave some spirit stones for the family." The old man said with a happy face.

"I've arranged for you to build the foundation pill. We'll have one pill of Qingyun gate's Alchemy next time, that is, after I die, Qingyun gate will definitely want a spirit stone. There's no way... It's all my fault.

After I sit down, you should guard against the Chen family in changliugu... And the coastal scattered cultivation... Three elders... "The old man explained the future affairs again and again.

"Go and call some elders."

Five people walked into the hole with a sad face.

"I'll pass on the position of clan leader to huanchi. I hope you can do your best to help. The Shen family can't die in our hands.

Shen huanchi, you have vowed to revive the Shen family. " The old man said with dignity.

"I, Shen huanchi, swear to protect the inheritance of the family and die for the revival of the family!"

"After I sit down, I don't lose heart and don't disclose the news of my sitting down. Those who violate the family rules will be dealt with. I hope I can hide it for more days.

Huanchi, after you get the foundation Dan, build the foundation immediately and strive to build the foundation in advance before they don't respond. As long as you build the foundation, the family will be safe. " The old man explained.

"You all go out and leave me alone."

……

Shortly after the people left, there was an old and crazy roar from the cave:

"Shen's ancestors and ancestors are on the top. Shen Wenhong, an unworthy descendant, is ashamed of his ancestors and lives up to his brother's trust... Fuxing... Fuxing!"

Everyone outside the cave wept and knew that the old man who had supported the family for 200 years had sat down.
