In fact, Shen Huanyan's spiritual roots in his youth are good. Coupled with his free and easy mind, even if he doesn't need to build a foundation, he has a quarter chance of success.

However, things are changeable. In his later period of Qi practice, he hurt his meridians and Dantian when fighting with friars of the Chen family, so he lost the possibility of further development.

After knowing this fact, Shen Huanyan looked more open and didn't fall down.

Because he was a good calligrapher and painter, teaching and educating people, he naturally became the dean of the family school.

Over the years, every ethnic group who came out of the family school has received his teaching more or less.

Therefore, his prestige in the hearts of the clan is not nearly the same as that of the clan leader. Everyone needs to salute respectfully.

In his life, Shen Huanyan married a family nun when he was young and gave birth to a pair of children. Unfortunately, they are all people without spiritual roots.

In his later years, a child with spiritual roots finally appeared among the grandchildren, although he was only a four spiritual roots qualification.

Shen Ruiling knows the four elders' temper. He is very clear about public and private affairs, and he disdains to do those favoritism and fraud.

So even before he died, he didn't speak to himself to take care of his four spiritual roots.

But even if Shen Huanyan doesn't say it, Shen Ruiling will take special care of the child because he needs a favor.

Of course, when he was young, Shen huanqun could not take care of him because he stayed in Hushang square all the year round, so he asked Shen Huanyan in the school to take care of him.

In those years in the school, he received Shen Huanyan's careful care and serious teaching, which made him understand a lot.

Shen Ruiling can't forget this kindness all his life.

……

Shen Huanyan's death means that there is one less old man of the Huan generation who guarded the family with the patriarch Shen huanchi.

Following his previous wishes, the funeral was very simple. Except for several family elders such as Shen Ruiling and Shen Jingan, he did not disturb other people.

Shen Huanyan's body was cremated and buried in the family's back Mountain Cemetery, and there was a black wood scarlet tablet in the family ancestral hall.

As usual, Shen Ruiling let people ring the ancient bronze bell hanging on the top of Yunbi peak.

Some people who learned the news of the death of the fourth elder also spontaneously came to the ancestral hall to deeply express their inner respect.

After the simple funeral of the four elders Shen Huanyan, Shen Ruiling came to a small courtyard near the Dan Pavilion.

No one else lives here. It's his grandfather Shen huanqun.

Shen Ruiling respectfully said hello to Shen huanqun, and then told him the news of the sitting of the four elders.

However, Shen huanqun seemed to have known the news for a long time. He just listened quietly and didn't say anything.

Looking at the weather beaten cheeks on the old man's face and the gullies left by years, Shen Ruiling's heart became very heavy again.

Although Shen huanqun was the second elder, he was actually the youngest of the four elders. He became the second elder of the family by virtue of his second-class alchemy and great and complete cultivation of Qi.

Shen Ruiling knows that his grandfather, as a second-class alchemist, has his own opinions on health preservation.

Moreover, after experiencing the change of "resurrection from the dead", with the help of the effect of Millennium Xuanling liquid, he not only cured the soul injury, but also cured some old injuries in his body.

However, even so, the longevity of the friar during the Qi training period is about 120, and he is now more than 110 years old.

Shen Ruiling has been practicing Taoism for more than 70 years. After several life and death departures, the fragile emotion in his heart has been numb.

However, when this kind of thing was about to really happen to him, his heart became uneasy and difficult to give up.

This time, Shen Ruiling stayed in Shen huanqun's courtyard longer than ever before. He accompanied his grandfather and quietly enjoyed the beauty that still exists.

However, when the Shen people on Yunbi peak were still immersed in the grief of the death of the four elders, a new round of danger was coming.

……

The northeast of Linhai county was once the sphere of influence of the Chen family, the first family in Linhai county. However, with the mysterious disappearance of the Chen family from Linhai County, this area was jointly managed by Shen, Li and Du.

Although it is jointly managed, when the resources in this area are divided up by the three families, other areas become three no matter areas.

At this time, in an abandoned mine cave of the Chen family, more than a dozen mysterious monks dressed in black gathered here.

"You must have seen that a good place is polluted by the three families, which is a clean division of our Chen family's industry in those years!"

Among the crowd, an old man came out and looked at the others slowly.

Everyone was silent, but there was an anger in their hearts and hatred for the other three families.

"I understand your mood. At this time, I feel the same as you. I will never forget the day I left changliugu. It was a disgrace to my Chen family!"

The old man said gnashing his teeth, and his tone was full of hatred for the three families.

"Six elders, tell us what to do!"

A man stood up and said angrily.

The old man looked at the man, then looked at the others and said in a deep voice:

"You are all dead men selected from the family, and you are carrying the mission of my Chen family to return to Linhai county."

"Now the old ancestor has left the pass. It is not far from the day when we counter attack Linhai county and avenge the three allied forces for killing our people. Your task is to create all kinds of chaos in Linhai county and disturb the hearts of the three families as much as possible before the family counter attack."

After listening to the old man's words, more than a dozen Chen family members shouted in unison:

"I'll do my best!"

The old man looked at the crowd and laughed happily.

"OK, take these jade bottles."

After that, he took out more than ten black jade bottles from his jade storage box.

"You people, immediately sneak into various areas of Linhai county and secretly pour the contents of the bottle into the rivers near the three families."

"Remember what's in this bottle. You must not touch it or drink all the water sources in Linhai county."

After hearing this, the more than ten friars of the Chen family looked at the jade bottle in the old man's hand and swallowed their saliva.

From the old man's words, it is not difficult for them to guess that the contents in the bottle must be very vicious.

However, in the end, these Chen friars took the jade bottle from the old man and carefully put it into their arms.

"Go, I'm waiting for you to come back!"

In the old man's leisurely voice, more than ten Chen friars left here and went to various areas of Linhai county.
