On the deck of the treasure ship, three men and one woman, dressed in the costumes of the core disciples of the Liu family in Taiyun County, were looking excitedly at the fertile fields, forests, and rivers passing below the treasure ship.
All three of them are around 20 years old.
However, the positions of the three people are obviously different. Liu Yunming, who is standing at the front, holds an autumn moon fan and wears a Canglang jade pendant from the far west on his waist. Liu Yuntong, who is on the lower left side of his right hand, wears a A Cang Ling ring. Although the petite Liu Yunfeng on the right is a woman, she does not have any accessories on her body.
Liu Yunming looked at the scenery below the treasure ship and whispered to Liu Yuntong:
"Second brother, I heard that Jingzhou is a land of southern barbarians. Now it seems that it is true. You see, as you go south, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth becomes thinner, and there are fewer flying objects and foundations. Quite a bit, this time my father sent the three of us to the Fu family, isn't this a clear statement of exile? Even if the Fu family is ninth grade, I'm afraid it can't compare to our Taiyun County."
"Brother, be careful what you say!"
Liu Yunming is the eldest son of Liu Mingyun, the head of the Liu clan in Taiyun County.
He always speaks freely.
Liu Yuntong, who was the son of a concubine, was shocked. He glanced around subconsciously and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he was surrounded by members of his family.
I was about to give a few words of advice.
But he saw Liu Yunming staring at him coldly.
Liu Yuntong's heart tightened:
"Brother, I was anxious just now, so I sounded a little more serious, but we are now on the Fu family's treasure ship, and our words will be overheard by Aunt Zhuji, so I"
"What are you!"
Liu Yunming's eyes sharpened. He hated people preaching to him the most:
"Second brother, do you think that by being sent to the Fu family as a hostage, you can be on an equal footing with me? Don't forget, your mother is just a rough maid serving my mother, what the hell!"
Liu Yunming snorted coldly.
Turn around.
He didn't even look at Liu Yuntong again.
Being scolded in public, Liu Yuntong didn't show any anger on his face, as if he was used to it, but Liu Yunfeng, who had been silent all the time, cast a concerned look at him.
Liu Yuntong shook his head invisibly.
The three people's interest instantly dissipated because of this incident.
After a while.
A guard dressed up quickly stepped forward and bowed his hands to the three of them:
"First Young Master, Second Young Master, Third Young Lady, the First Elder invites you."
Liu Yunming closed his Qiuyue fan, turned around and bent down to enter the cabin first, followed closely by Liu Yuntong, and Liu Yunfeng walked at the back with lowered eyebrows.
The three of them entered the great elder's private room.
The great elder cast a spell into the cabin, and instantly a formation light curtain rose:
"Don't stand still, sit down"
The great elder waved his sleeve.
Three futons fell.
After the three of them saluted, Liu Yunming naturally sat on the futon in the middle.
After the three people sat down.
The great elder said solemnly:
"This time, the three of you have been selected as hostages. Before entering the Fu family's fiefdom, the head of the family wants me to give you a few instructions."
As soon as this statement came out.
Liu Yuntong and Liu Yunfeng straightened their bodies immediately.
Liu Yunming mumbled something, but no one heard it clearly.
The great elder frowned slightly when he saw this.
Continued:
"The three of you are all from the lineage of clan leaders. Although you are sent to the Fu family as hostages, the next generation of the head of the Liu family in Taiyun County will also be born from the three of you."
As soon as this statement came out.
Liu Yunming's face looked a little ugly.
The head of the Liu family has always been a direct descendant. As the eldest son, it is natural that it will be his turn to be the head of the next generation.
Calling the second and third sons this time is just a fill-in.
Liu Yunming curled his lips.
I feel that the older the elder is, the more he likes to nag.
He guessed that these words were what the old man wanted to say. He borrowed his father's name just because he was afraid that the three of them wouldn't listen.
The voice of the Great Elder continued to come from overhead:
"Although the name of proton is not pleasant"
"But moving into the Fu family this time is a great opportunity for you to gain experience, broaden your horizons, and sharpen your mind."
"Once you enter the Fu family fiefdom, you must remember the following points."
When Liu Yunming heard this, he said one, two, three.
He became increasingly impatient.
I have already begun to daydream about the days after entering the Fu family fiefdom.
What the great elder said goes in one ear and out the other:
"First: Beware of arrogance and impetuosity. When you arrive at the Fu family, you are no longer the superior young masters. You must control your temper and always be aware that you are living under the roof. No matter what you do, you must think twice. When you commit a crime, you will have family elders to tell you the truth. "
"Second"
"When you arrive at the Fu family, no matter what you see or hear, everything about the Fu family is not allowed to be announced to outsiders, including us old guys."
"at last"
"I hope you will always remember that the blood on your body is the blood of the Liu family of Taiyun County."
Naturally, the soundproofing spell deployed by Elder Liu could not block the prying eyes of the Foundation Establishment consciousness. In the second-floor cabin of the treasure ship, Ouyang Fei listened to Elder Liu's instructions, nodded slightly and said:
"Mei Zhen, it seems that the Liu family of Taiyun County is a governor."
Liu Meizhen was studying a newly obtained elixir prescription, and marked a few sentences on the jade slip from time to time. After hearing the words, she said lightly:
"Uncle Fei, what you want is what Elder Liu wants."
Ouyang Fei is not stupid.
I immediately understood:
"Mei Zhen, do you mean that Elder Liu told us on purpose?"
Liu Meizhen put away the prescription.
Nod slightly.
Then he said:
"Uncle Fei, what do you think of the three protons sent by the Liu family?"
Ouyang Fei took back his consciousness.
Shaked his head:
"None of the seedlings sent by the Liu family in Taiyun County are good. Although Liu Yunming is the eldest son of the clan leader, due to his character, many people will take care of him after leaving Taiyun County. As for the other two, one is a concubine. , one is the daughter of an outsider, now..."
Halfway through the sentence.
Ouyang Fei later realized that he had said the wrong thing.
Liu Meizhen was also born from a concubine.
However, Liu Meizhen seemed unaware and said calmly:
"Uncle Fei, what do you think if you let this girl Liu Yunfeng marry our brother Rong?"
"What?!"
Ouyang Fei almost choked on his own saliva.
Although Brother Rong is in his early twenties, he still behaves like a child. Ouyang Fei hurriedly shook his head and said:
"Mei Zhen, whether Liu Yunfeng is good or bad, we Brother Rong can't tell it. Brother Rong, it's not like you don't know that although he is older, he is still a child. He is far from the time to marry and have children. "
Ouyang Fei and Brother Rong are particularly close to each other.
The two of them get along as if they were direct descendants.
So let's leave it to others.
Ouyang Fei was absolutely very concerned about Brother Rong.
Look at his reaction.
Liu Meizhen said with a smile:
"Uncle Fei, don't worry. I didn't say that Brother Rong will get married and have children right away. The reason why I want to arrange Brother Luorong's marriage is also to let him join the world. As someone who has experienced this, you know better than me. Brother Rong wants to If you want to go further on the path of cultivation, you have to go to the secular world to practice and hone your mind."
"That's true, but for the time being, let Brother Rong break through to build the foundation."
"Well, that's what I said too."
The flag of the eighth-grade Shangguan family was placed above the treasure ship, as well as the flag of the Fu family. Along the way, Jie Xiu saw these two flags and retreated.
The treasure ship returned to the fiefdom of Yunshan County, Huainan Prefecture, Jingzhou safe and sound.
One trip and one trip.
It took almost two years.
This still uses the Shangguan family's treasure ship. If ordinary foundation-building monks fly with objects, I'm afraid it will take twice as long.
This is why monks from two states.
Without the teleportation array, few low-level monks would cross state lines.
Arrived at the mountain gate.
On the treasure ship, the eldest elder of the Liu family was followed by Liu Yunming's three brothers and sisters. They also walked from the cabin to the deck, and their eyes fell on the towering archway at the mountain gate.
The great elder's eyes flashed with envy and awe.
Ninth grade family.
I wonder if the Liu family in Taiyun County will be promoted one day.
With the treasure ship falling.
The magic array light curtain in the mountain gate surges. Then a gap opened.
A majestic spiritual energy rushed to his face instantly.
Elder Liu was shocked:
"This aura"
Their Taiyun County Clan Mountain is a second-level middle-grade spiritual vein, which can be said to be the most outstanding among the five major Qi Refining families in Taiyun County.
But compared to the spiritual vein in front of me, it was obviously nothing.
Liu Yunming said quickly:
"Grandpa, the Fu family's spiritual vein must have been promoted to the third level. My dear, I have only heard that the eighth-grade family has a third-level spiritual vein. The Fu family's heritage is so profound!"
He thought the Fu family's fiefdom was a remote place.
Never expected it.
The Fu family is so wealthy that they even have a third-level spiritual vein.
Liu Yuntong, who was following him, was also a little excited, with a dazzling light in his eyes.
When the clan issued a notice to select two other protons to accompany Liu Yunming to the Fu family, he was unwilling to accompany the prince to study. After all, it was obvious that the next head of the family could only be the eldest brother. After all, he was the eldest son, but his mother But my father insisted on letting him be the first to sign up.
At the time he was unmoved.
Until my mother said the last sentence:
"If you are in Taiyun County, then you will always be a maid giving birth to children!"
Take a look now.
He made the right bet.
The Fu family's spiritual energy is so rich that even if you don't practice in the spiritual spring well, it is more than ten times better than practicing in Taiyun County.
at this time.
In the mountain gate.
A young man came slowly.
The young man's three thousand black hair is tied up with a jade crown, and his eyebrows are full of confidence and determination. His movements reveal not only vitality, but also an innate aristocratic temperament.
If it weren't for the other party, he would still be practicing Qi cultivation.
Liu Yunming thought the other party was the head of the Fu family.
The young man generously stepped forward to greet Elder Liu and others one by one. After exchanging names, he learned that the other party was the eldest son of the head of the Fu family.
Today's chief steward of the fief.
He is also the son of the clan leader. Although Liu Yunming wanted to show off at this time, he couldn't muster up the courage to speak. With Brother Fan setting him off like this, he looked like a bumpkin from the countryside.
After the reception banquet.
Brother Fan picked out a few important matters concerning the general affairs of the clan in the past two years and reported back to Liu Meizhen:
"Mother"
"Half a year ago, Elder Runzhi sent good news that he had successfully broken through the foundation building. Our Fu family has one more foundation building monk. In addition, Grandpa Yu's injuries have also recovered a lot. Three months ago, he took his sister with him. We have searched everywhere for the location to build the city, and most of them have already made a decision, but Grandpa Yu said that you still need to go to the back mountain to find him. Grandpa Yu said that he has something to communicate with you. "
Liu Meizhen was not surprised at Runzhi's success in building the foundation.
Wait for Brother Fan to finish speaking.
Pointing to the chair beside him, he asked the other party to sit down, and poured a cup of Changling tea to him personally: "After you got married, I left the fiefdom. Now two years have passed, how are you and your young couple doing? Has Yulian ever been there? Pregnant?"
"Thank you for your concern, mother. Everything is fine with Yulian and I. As for the child, Yulian and I feel that it is too early to have a child now. I want to wait until Yulian breaks through to foundation building before planning the child."
Hearing this, Liu Meizhen put down the tea cup gently.
He said calmly:
"Is this your intention or Yulian's idea?"
"Mother, this is the idea of Yulian and I."
Brother Fan has been in charge of general affairs for many years.
At this moment, he didn't notice his mother's slight anger, but since he was already married, the family's affairs were decided by the couple, so they had no intention of giving in.
Seeing this, Liu Meizhen waved her hand:
"If it's okay, you can go down now."
"Yes, mother"
Brother Fan retreated.
Liu Meizhen looked at his retreating figure with some confusion.
It is still unknown how to establish the foundation of the "Dragon Elephant Prajna Kung Fu" practiced by Brother Fan. However, with the help of Brother Fan's personal resources, Yulian has quickly reached the peak of Qi training. The foundation building is expected to:
"This kid is still too honest."
Liu Meizhen sighed quietly.
We got up and went to Shuiliandong in the back mountain.
Yulian moved away from here after getting married. When Liu Meizhen arrived, she heard Yaoyao's excited voice from the second floor of the wooden building: "Mom, when will you come back? Really, I didn't inform you in advance." Me."
Said.
He walked down from the second floor like a gust of wind.
Hugging Liu Meizhen, she still looked like she was a child. Liu Meizhen's eyes lit up as her consciousness swept away. Yaoyao has reached the peak of Qi training, Liu Meizhen said happily: "Well, not bad, it seems that you have not been lazy in the past two years."
"Mom, I'm not the second brother, how can I be lazy? Besides, Grandpa Yu stares at me every day, urging me to break through to the peak of Qi training. Even if I want to be lazy, Grandpa Yu won't let me."
Yaoyao took Liu Meizhen to the living room and sat down.
He personally poured a cup of tea for the other party and kept chattering like a lark:
"Mom, let me tell you good news. My second brother has also reached the peak of Qi refining. I usually watch him eat and sleep, but he almost overtakes me without saying a word. Humph, this Is it what dad always said about pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger? By the way, the second brother is on the second floor. Why is he still sleeping when you are back? "
"Stop shouting, your second brother has already gone into the mountains with your Grandpa Fei."
"Ah, the second brother doesn't keep his word. He clearly promised me when he came out of seclusion that he would take mine with him when he goes up the mountain again. Hmm, let's see how I deal with him when he comes back."
Yaoyao was full of energy.
Liu Meizhen watched the smile on her daughter's face reach her eyes.
at this time.
The entrance to the living room.
Aunt Liu walked in slowly with Brother Fu and Brother Qiang.
Brother Fu and Brother Qiang have already arrived and are studying in the academy. They are pretty and cute. However, although they are twins, their looks are not the same at all.
The two of them bowed to Liu Meizhen in a polite manner.
The smile in Liu Meizhen's eyes suddenly disappeared a lot, and she stood up directly and said:
"I'll go talk to Uncle Yu, Yaoyao, you go prepare the family banquet."
"Okay, mother"
Yaoyao watched her mother go up to the second floor without looking back, her eyes fell on Brother Fu and Brother Qiang who looked disappointed, with a look of regret on their faces.
Since the birth of two younger brothers.
Not to mention hugging my mother, I didn't even see her a few times a year.
But she clearly remembered that when the three brothers and sisters were young, their mother would serve them with nothing but clothes on their backs. She didn't know why her mother was so indifferent to her two younger brothers.
Yaoyao took a step forward.
One from the left and the other from the right, they took the little hands of Brother Fu and Brother Qiang, and said in a soft and friendly voice:
"Fourth brother, fifth brother, let's go. Third sister, go to the kitchen to make your favorite thousand-feuille cake."
Mention food.
Brother Fu, who was still feeling lost a moment ago, immediately narrowed his eyes into a smile:
"The thousand-feuille cake made by the third sister is the most delicious."
"You little greedy cat"
On the contrary, Brother Qiang still looked back at the second floor reluctantly.
Seeing this scene, Grandma Liu sighed deeply.
Second floor.
When Liu Meizhen entered Grandmaster Yu's room, she saw that the surrounding walls were covered with drawings drawn by Zhang's hands. Compared to two years ago, Grandmaster Yu had much more energy and blood, and the aura he exuded had reached the peak of foundation building. .
I saw Liu Meizhen coming in.
Grandmaster Yu then put down a drawing in his hand.
There are drawings all over the room.
Not even a place to sit:
"Mei Zhen, you came back just in time. Yaoyao, Miss Qingru, and I surveyed the Yunshan County and Pingshan County fiefdoms together. The most ideal place to build a city is the Pingshan County fiefdom."
"I studied the city construction plan given by Changsheng."
"I plan to use the formation principle of Luofeng Mountain's Seven-Star Quicksand Formation on the original basis. Although the mountain-protecting formation is only a second-level high-grade one, the Seven-Star Quicksand Formation draws the power of the stars in the sky as the source of the formation's operation. Power, a large defensive array that integrates attack and defense, can operate on its own every day without filling up spiritual stones."
"As long as I find the star stone, I can use this principle to lay out the city building plans given by Changsheng, and then extract the overflowing spiritual energy from the third-order spiritual veins to nourish the city. In this way, over time, the city built according to the city building plans will not only be There is no need to worry that the magic circle will weaken over time. On the contrary, as long as the star stones are enriched in the future, it will increase the power of this city."
Grandmaster Yu excitedly talked about all kinds of industry knowledge.
Liu Meizhen only understood roughly.
Grandmaster Yu added at the end:
"Just one sentence, if this city is built according to my ideas, it will be a living being. Like us monks, it can absorb the essence of heaven and earth and advance."
This sentence.
Liu Meizhen naturally understood.
but.
But there is something wrong:
"Uncle Yu, besides the star stone you mentioned, do you need any special spiritual materials?"
