Chapter 2 Family Meeting (please collect, please vote for recommendation)
The spiritual energy at the bottom of Lingxiao Mountain is relatively thin, and the higher you go, the stronger the spiritual energy becomes.
Halfway up the mountain, the spiritual energy is stronger and the place is spacious. The clan leader Ling Yunhong opened up a huge piece of flat land here to build a courtyard and cave for practice with the clan members.
Further up is the top of the mountain. In addition to the meeting hall on the top of the mountain, there are more than ten acres of first-class and above-grade spiritual fields developed by Ling Yunhong, a second-level spiritual planter. I even heard that there are There is a second-level spiritual field, but whether it really exists or not is not something people in the middle stage of Qi training like Ling Pengyun can know.
Before Ling Pengyun reached the top of the mountain, he saw an old man with white hair and a stooped figure standing at the entrance of the defensive array on the top of the mountain, waiting.
This person's name is Ling Ruda, the great elder of the Ling family, who is in charge of the family general affairs hall and directs all family affairs.
“Eleventh great-grandfather.” Ling Pengyun cupped his hands and said politely.
Family monks highly value etiquette. When younger people see their elders, they must perform the courtesy of younger generations.
"Peng Yun, please wait here for now. You still have a few clan brothers and clan brothers who haven't arrived yet." Ling Ruda smiled kindly at Ling Pengyun and said kindly.
When Ling Pengyun heard this, he was even more curious and confused. "Is there anyone else?"
Ling Ruda said with a smile. "That's right, you kid, don't ask anymore. When everyone is here, go to the meeting hall and the patriarch will answer it for you."
Ling Pengyun had no choice but to give up when he saw this.
Not long after, Ling Yunxi, the "fifteenth aunt" who had previously called Ling Pengyun to the meeting hall on the top of the mountain, arrived here riding a graceful crane.
Ling Pengyun was quite envious when he saw this scene.
It can be said that it is the wish of all low-level monks to own a flying monster, especially a crane-like monster with excellent appearance.
"Eleventh uncle, I have informed everyone of the clan leader's call one by one." Ling Yunxi jumped off the crane, waved the crane and put it into a small pink bag hanging around her waist, walked to Ling Rida's side, and cupped her hands.
"Okay." Ling Ruda said.
“Fifteen aunt.” Ling Pengyun cupped her hands and said.
Ling Yunxi heard the greetings and looked at Ling Pengyun with a hint of distress in her expression. She sighed softly and nodded slightly, as if she was not in a good mood.
This situation really made Ling Pengyun, who was full of doubts, even more confused in his heart.
After a while, four members of the Peng clan similar to Ling Pengyun came to the entrance to the top of the mountain.
These four clan members of the Peng generation are all Ling Pengyun’s clan brothers. They are all at the second or third level of Qi training. None of them are at the first level of Qi training. Their cultivation qualifications are considered to be okay. It can be said that this Batch people are the mainstay of Ling's future.
Such a situation made Ling Pengyun feel that the situation was not good.
At this time, the great elder Ling Ruda said this. "Everyone is here, follow them. Don't wander around."
After saying this, Ling Ruda took off the family token representing the Ling family hanging from his waist and let it go. Suspended in the void, a special seal was cast towards it.
As soon as the seal entered the token, the token flashed with inspiration, rippling out a green ripple that touched the light curtain covering the top of the mountain.
The light curtain trembled slightly, and a large gap appeared at the entrance of the avenue. Ling Ruda and Ling Yunxi walked side by side and stepped into the light curtain along the gap first, while Ling Pengyun and others followed closely, not daring to make any unnecessary movements.
Following the avenue, we soon reached the top of the mountain. However, the top of the mountain was shrouded in a cloud that could block spiritual consciousness. Monks like Ling Pengyun in the middle stage of Qi training seemed to be blind and could only see. Count the distances in inches.
This also made Ling Pengyun couldn't help but get close to the leader Ling Ruda, for fear of getting lost in the clouds. Although there is no danger in getting lost in the clouds, it would be too embarrassing to get lost in his own home...
After following Ling Ruda and Ling Yunxi into the meeting hall, Ling Pengyun realized that although there were only a few figures sitting in the meeting hall, the atmosphere in the meeting hall was extremely heavy.
"The patriarch and everyone have been brought here." Ling Ruda informed, and took Ling Yunxi to sit at the speaker's table in the conference hall.
"I have met all the elders." Ling Pengyun was smarter and was the first to salute and said.
The other four Peng clan members behind him also spoke.
The people sitting at the long table in this meeting hall are all senior members of the Ling family, including the chief leader Ling Yunhong, the first elder Ling Juda, the second elder Ling Ruxian, and the fifth elder Ling Yunxi.
The descendants of the Ling family are "Swinging ambitions into the clouds, and traveling thousands of miles with ease". Among the people alive today, there are only four generations of "Ru, Yun, Xiao and Peng".
Among these four generations, the clan members who belong to the Zi generation are the smallest, and there are only a dozen or so people left in the family to this day.
The Ling family has a total of six elders. In addition to the three elders in this meeting hall, there are also three elders outside.
Among them, the third elder, Ling Yunfeng, sits in the "Lingxiao Talisman Pavilion" in Huaishuifang City, the only city in Huaishui County, drawing spiritual talismans. He is also the only first-level high-grade spiritual talisman master of the Ling family.
The fourth elder, Ling Yunfu, is good at business. He is located in Huaishuifang City and manages the business of the two shops belonging to the family, Lingxiao Baobao Pavilion and Lingxiao Fu Pavilion.
The sixth elder, Ling Yunqian, manages the safety of the family's motorcade to and from Huaishuifang City, and is often outside the family.
“I have called you here this time because I have something important to discuss with you.” Ling Yunhong, the leader of the clan, said solemnly.
“It doesn’t matter if you say it, Patriarch.” Ling Pengyun, as the biggest person in the Peng generation here, responded smartly.
"Let me tell you straight. Three years ago, my family moved from the Yang family boundary in Pingyun Mountain, Luoyun County, Yunshui County to Anyang County, Huaishui County. Outside our Lingxiao Mountain, They also occupied a lot of spiritual veins. Recently, the family also killed all the monsters that occupied low-level spiritual veins in Anyang County, and wiped out all the monsters in Anyang County. The spiritual veins have been successfully recovered.”
“Our Ling clan has only been established for more than two hundred years, and there are not many monks. In addition, we still have spiritual veins and shops in Yunshui County, so we left. Many clan members, therefore, the family is now in a situation where there are spiritual veins but no monks to manage them.”
"I discussed with the three elders present and planned to send you to the clan mountain in advance to work for the clan and to occupy and manage the newly occupied four first-order low-grade and one first-order mid-grade spiritual veins. For a period of five years."
"Are you willing?" Ling Yunhong said to the five members of the Peng clan standing at the door of the meeting hall with a hint of reluctance and a discussion tone.
When Ling Pengyun heard this, the doubts in his heart suddenly disappeared like smoke, and he said to himself. "It turns out it's just for this matter."
As for going out and doing things for the family, he had thought about it countless times a year ago after he reached the fourth level of Qi training. I am extremely looking forward to what the magnificent and cruel world of immortality described in the various travel notes of Gongfa Pavilion will be like.
