Chapter 147 Spring Festival Family Reunion (3200, please subscribe)
Time gradually passed by, and more than twenty days passed in the blink of an eye, and it was January 1st of the following year.
This is a big day for the ordinary people of the Ling family, and children between the ages of eight and ten to test their spiritual roots.
In the early morning, Ling Pengyun absorbed the power of the early sun and watered the spiritual plants in the mountain with spiritual rain. Then he went down the mountain and rushed to the only Ling family ancestral hall in Lingyun town to give this year's Ling Yun a small adult. Children between the ages of eight and ten are tested for their spiritual roots.
Although the small town of Huaishui now has a population of 30,000 to 40,000 as the Ling clan has not yet moved away from this place, there are still tens of thousands of Ling clan members and thousands more in the small town. Mortals with foreign surnames who come here to do business or escape from famine.
Together, these mortals of the Ling family and those with other surnames amounted to about fifteen thousand.
With such a huge accumulation of people, many children are born in the small town of Lingyun every year.
This year, there are 1,108 children aged eight to ten in Lingyun Town who need to test their spiritual roots.
In this regard, Ling Pengyun did not feel that the spirit testing conference was tiring. Instead, he was very motivated. He wanted to detect one person with spiritual roots among the thousands of children. This was because the family was short of manpower. Add one point of help to the dilemma.
Although the probability of birth of spiritual roots among mortals is small, if there are more people, the probability will naturally increase a lot.
Because there were too many children testing their spiritual roots in Lingyun small town this year, even if Ling Pengyun speeded up, it would still take long enough for sunset to test the spiritual roots of those thousands of children.
It's a pity that not one of these thousands of children has spiritual roots.
Ling Pengyun was also very helpless and returned to Lingyun Mountain.
Although Ling Pengyun had bad luck during the daytime spirit testing conference, good things happened that night.
On this night, the improved spiritual rice seeds planted in the spiritual field the size of a millstone in the bamboo building hall finally broke through the ground, grew, and sprouted.
However, not long after the spiritual rice germinated, the young sprouts were bulging out from the raging spiritual power in the body, as if the young sprouts would be bursting out of the body at the next moment.
Ling Pengyun, who has been sitting cross-legged next to this small spiritual field, has long been alarmed by the seeds of this improved spiritual rice breaking through the ground and sprouting. He has been watching the growth and changes of this spiritual rice. When he saw the sprouts, In a dangerous situation, his expression suddenly changed.
“Unexpectedly, as soon as this improved spiritual rice germinated, the Yimu spiritual power of the water spiritual rice and golden marrow rice seeds that had not yet been completely integrated began to repel each other again.”
With a secret thought, Ling Pengyun immediately used his spiritual consciousness to touch the small section of thorn vine attached to his chest.
"The thorns, cross a trace of Yimu's power into the body of the bud."
The thorn vine immediately followed the instructions. It split into a vine and extended along the cuff of Ling Pengyun's Taoist robe to the outside world. It touched the newly sprouted spiritual rice buds and injected a trace of Yimu essence into the buds.
Ling Pengyun then mobilized his spiritual consciousness and injected it into the bud. He used his spiritual consciousness to control the thorns and vines to enter the bud's body and the Yimu essence, soothing the two kinds of emotions that had not yet been completely integrated in the bud. The power of Yimu.
It’s just a trace of Yimu’s power from thorns and vines, and it can’t have any soothing effect at all.
With no other choice, Ling Pengyun had no choice but to call up the thorns and vines and transfer two strands of Yimu essence into the bud.
Relying on three strands of Yimu essence in a row, the conflict between the two Yimu essences that had not completely merged in the bud was settled.
And the remaining Yimu essence left in the bud after the thorn vines entered the body was also under the control of Ling Pengyun, nourishing the bud.
The height of this young shoot has also increased by a hair.
After finishing this matter, Ling Pengyun looked at the buds growing in the spiritual field the size of a millstone and frowned slightly.
“Today’s seeds have just sprouted, triggering a conflict between Yimu’s power in the body, causing the thorn vines to consume three strands of Yimu’s essence. In the future, during the growth of this spiritual rice seedling, the power of Yimu needed to be consumed may be even greater. "It seems that during the growth of this improved spiritual rice, the power of Yimu cultivated by my thorn vines will probably be used on this improved spiritual rice."
"I hope this spiritual rice seedling can grow safely to maturity, and let me witness the number of spiritual rice produced by this spiritual rice and the spiritual energy contained in the spiritual rice. Otherwise, the thorns and vines will be so consumed by Yimu's power, and this spiritual rice will be lost in the middle. If the body is broken by the conflicting Yimu essence in the body, it will be a big loss. "
Lingzhi's cultivation and improvement are related to the power of Yimu. This power of Yimu is like spiritual power to Lingzhi. Same for monks.
After sighing secretly, Ling Pengyun closed his eyes again, activated his skills, and entered into practice.
Spring Festival.
On this day, the small town of Lingyun is decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and every house is hung with festive lanterns.
They also visited each other and chatted, which was very lively.
As for Lingyun Mountain, which is only a mile or two away from this lively town and is slightly unpopular, two visitors also came today, adding a bit of fireworks to this huge Lingyun Mountain.
These two visitors are Ling Xiaoshun and his wife.
At the beginning of December last year, Ling Pengyun ended his dangerous hunt for monsters in Monster Lake and was on his way from Lingxiao Mountain, his clan mountain, to Lingyun Mountain to change defenses and garrison. When he was keeping safe with his parents in Yunshuifang City, He informed his parents in advance that he had improved a spiritual rice seed, which would be planted in the spiritual field of Lingyun Mountain. He would not be able to leave for a year in the future and would have to stay by the spiritual rice seed planted in the soil every day. He had agreed to leave in advance. Not open.
During the Chinese New Year, parents need to come to Lingyun Mountain for a family reunion.
Ling Xiaoshun's parents were both members of the Ling clan who built their family on spiritual rice. They also knew a thing or two about the extremely unstable process of planting improved spiritual rice seeds. Naturally, they would not be disgusted with Ling Pengyun's proposal to celebrate the New Year in Lingyun Mountain. , but was very happy that Ling Pengyun had improved a spiritual rice seed.
Even if this spiritual rice seed is not yet safe and mature, as long as the spiritual rice seed is improved, it will already surpass the vast majority of spiritual cultivators. And if this spiritual rice seed is an excellent variety, the name Ling Pengyun will be spread among the Ling family for hundreds or thousands of years.
This kind of thing is the pride of parents.
Lingyun Mountain Peak.
"Father, mother, happy New Year." Ling Pengyun congratulated Ling Xiaoshun and Yang Qiuyun who had just jumped off the two flying magic weapons.
"Xiaoyun, can you plant the improved spiritual rice seeds?" Ling Xiaoshun didn't care about this false courtesy. As soon as he jumped off the flying magic weapon, he asked Ling Pengyun excitedly.
“I opened up a small spiritual field inside that bamboo building and planted the spiritual rice seeds into the soil in early December last year.” Ling Pengyun pointed to the only bamboo building on the top of the mountain. , said.
“Take us to see it quickly.” Ling Xiaoshun said excitedly after hearing the words.
"Okay." Ling Pengyun responded, then took his parents into the bamboo building and took a look at the small seedling grown from the improved spiritual rice seeds.
Although this little seedling looked nothing magical based on its appearance, Ling Xiaoshun's parents just stared at the stick of incense and guessed what the spiritual energy of the spiritual rice would be like after it matured...
Ling Xiaoshun even showed off his superb painting skills by depicting the appearance of this small seedling on a piece of white paper.
Although this move was a bit funny, it made Ling Pengyun feel valued.
The actions of his parents made Ling Pengyun even more determined to do his best to support the improved rice seedlings to the mature stage.
Not only to not disappoint his parents, but also to fulfill his wish as a spiritual husband.
After Ling Xiaoshun finished drawing the seedlings on the white paper, the family of three prepared the evening dishes together.
Ling Xiaoshun, Ling Pengyun and his son wash and cut vegetables.
Yang Qiuyun, who is good at cooking, cooks dishes.
With the joint efforts of the family, it didn’t take long for eighteen dishes to appear on the dining table in the Zhulou Hall.
None of these dishes are repeated, and they are all cooked with spiritual materials containing spiritual energy.
Such as braised Tongluo pork, steamed safflower fish, stir-fried hibiscus tofu...
In addition to the dishes, there is also a small vat of first-class middle-grade "Daohua" that Ling Xiaoshun has collected for many years and is as old as 20 years old. liquor".
Daohua wine is brewed from the above-mentioned good spiritual rice. It tastes extremely sweet. Because of its good taste and the spiritual wine can be used as a spiritual tool for cultivation, the price of this wine is relatively high on the market.
The first time a family of three entered the table, they each picked up a small wooden cup and filled the cup with rice flower stuffing.
Ling Xiaoshun stood up with a smile on his face and said.
"This year our family of three has been safe and sound, and we haven't encountered any disasters. It's really a blessing. I wish us a safe and sound life in the coming year."
"Come on, cheers."
Ling Pengyun, Yang Qiuyun The two of them raised their wooden cups to each other with smiles on their faces.
After clinking glasses, the three of them all had smiles on their faces and took a sip of the spirit wine.
Afterwards, the family of three drank wine, ate delicious food, chatted at the dinner table, and enjoyed one of the few reunions in the year.
However, the days of reunion are always short-lived, and separation will eventually come.
On the early morning of the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, after the family had breakfast, Ling Xiaoshun spoke at the dining table.
"Peng Yun, your mother and I have been here for three days. The grocery store in Yunshuifang City cannot live without people. After our family of three has had lunch, your mother and I will Then leave this place and return to Yunshuifang If you have time in the future, come to Fangshi more often."
"Okay." Ling Pengyun's eyes trembled when he heard this. Although he still wanted to reunite with his family and not be separated from each other, he didn't stop. Sensible export to retain.
Both of his parents are still young. According to the longevity of a monk, his parents are still in their prime and have their own things to do.
After sighing helplessly, Ling Pengyun summoned ten Qingling Swords, an eight-sided round iron shield, and a glass bottle from his storage bag, handed them to Ling Xiaoshun, and said.
"Mom and Dad, since you are leaving, I will give you the batch of weapon refining materials that my family gave me last year and the magical weapon that I refined."
"Because of Jiao Python Lake For one thing, I only had time to start refining the method in early December last year. I have not refined many weapons, and I have only refined ten green spirit swords and eight-sided round iron shields. According to the commission set by my clan and I, I still need to complete forty green spirit swords, and eight-sided round iron shields. Thirty-two round iron shields. Last year's weapon refining commission was completed. This batch of magic weapons, I will give it to you before the end of this year."
"As for this bottle of fruit honey, it is brewed by the group of fruit flower bees I raised myself. Although this item is only a first-level low-grade product, it is. It tastes really good, the sweetness of honey is mixed with It has a fruity flavor, and it also has beautifying effects. If your father is handsome and your mother is beautiful, if you drink more of this product, you will definitely be better."
Ling Pengyun's last words made Ling Xiaoshun and Yang Qiuyun better. The two were amused and laughed.
