Ling Pengyun did not hide anything, and informed Ling Ruxian in detail about the reason for Ling Ruda's death.
“Damn the monster beast chaos, I thought that the family is so powerful now that we can live a peaceful monster beast chaos, but I didn’t expect that some members of the clan would die in the battle, and it was someone with the level of cultivation of the thirteenth brother. "Ling Jinxian said angrily.
"Thirteenth brother, did you leave any words before your death?"
"Yes, the thirteenth great-grandfather asked us to avenge him and kill Chen Guo Tongyang if we have the chance. The head of the Bai family, Bai Jiaqian, helped him regain the method for the subsequent operation of the Earthly Evil Sword Technique," Ling Pengyun said.
"I thought that the Thirteenth Brother had already looked away... but also, how can we easily let go of the hatred that has broken our arms and hindered our path."
"The affairs of the Bai family are both public and private, indeed. It needs to be dealt with, but this matter needs to be discussed in the long term. After the monster chaos is over and the Yunhong family is over, I will discuss it together. "
“I won’t say more about this matter. Let’s take my thirteenth brother back to the clan for burial as soon as possible.”
“I will also go back to the clan mountain with you to see my thirteenth brother off and wait for you. After sending him off, I will be stationed in Huixiazhi Mountain. "Okay." Ling Pengyun nodded and returned to Zushan together with Ling Ruxian.
After the two of them returned to the clan mountain with Ling Ruda's body, they gathered more than twenty old, weak, women and children in the clan outside the ancestral temple.
Informed these clansmen about the death of Ling Jinda, the second elder of the family, in battle.
At the same time, a funeral was held for Ling Ruda, his body was burned to ashes, put into a small earthen jar, placed under the tablet in the ancestral temple, and worshiped by the Ling clan.
After the matter was settled, Ling Pengyun also convened a clan council to elect to fill the vacancy left by the second elder Ling Juda who died in the battle, to take charge of the fish pond in the underground cave of Qingshi Lake and to take care of the spiritual plants on Qingshi Mountain.
Because now there are either old people in the clan who have no cultivation and are about to expire, or they are the younger generation and women in the clan who have low cultivation.
In the end, everyone could only recommend Ling Chengxin, the alchemy seedling cultivated by the family, who had just entered the fourth level of Qi training some time ago and was ranked fourth in Cheng Zi's generation, to go to the underground cave of Qingshi Lake to garrison.
He also lent Ling Ruda's fairy crane to Ling Chengxin so that he could escape when he encountered a group of monsters that were difficult to defeat.
……
Half a month later.
At noon on this day, many dirty, ragged mortals carrying their families and families came from the border of Bingjiao County in the north and entered Ling's Xiazhi Town with panic on their faces.
This situation alarmed Ling Chengxin, who was stationed in the underground cave of Qingshi Lake at the northernmost border of Xiazhui Town.
Ling Chengxin quickly rushed out of Qingshi Lake and looked at the place where the movement came from.
Seeing the vast movement, caused by thousands of mortals, his mind suddenly relaxed. He thought it was a group of monsters.
However, doubts came to his mind.
“The mortals in my Ling clan’s territory are all well protected. The place I am stationed in is also the most borderline of my clan. There is no way that these mortals are the ordinary members of my clan.”
"Now we are in the period of monster chaos, and the mortals belonging to various forces are also protected by these forces. How come there are so many mortals entering my Ling family's realm from Bingjiao County at this time?"
"The north is Bingjiao County. Could it be that which family in Bingjiao County was destroyed? As a result, the ordinary people under his command became refugees?"
Thinking about it like this, Ling Chengxin He looked slightly happy.
If those mortals are really refugees, Ling has a chance to get these thousands of mortals for free.
Although the number of mortals is small, it is better than nothing.
It is a treasure in the eyes of a large foundation-building clan like the Ling clan. As long as those thousands of mortals settle in the territory of the Ling clan, within a few years, these thousands of mortals will definitely be assimilated into the Ling clan.
There are thousands of mortals, so the chance of someone with spiritual roots being born in the mortal world is also greater.
Ling Chengxin himself was born as a mortal, so he also wanted to see more monks in the clan who were born as a mortal.
In this way, it can also increase the status of his and other collaterals in the clan.
He is not stupid. Although the collateral and direct lines of the Ling family are not obvious now, as the family gradually grows, changes will definitely occur between the two factions.
By then, it would not be a good thing if his collateral line lags too far behind his direct lineage.
Ling Chengxin waved his hand and patted the beast bag on his waist, summoning a fairy crane from it. He rode the crane and quickly flew towards the large number of refugees who entered the Ling family's territory in the distance.
At the same time.
The large number of refugees looked overjoyed when they saw an immortal monk wearing a Taoist robe flying towards them on a huge immortal crane.
Although these refugees are now wearing rags, these refugees used to be mortals who belonged to the monk family, and they had also seen monks.
Furthermore, the white crane in the sky at this time was several times larger than the ordinary white crane.
Therefore, at the first sight of Ling Chengxin riding the fairy crane, the refugees knew that Ling Chengxin was an "immortal".
As if they saw a savior, they stopped one after another, cried out, and begged the immortal "Ling Chengxin" riding the fairy crane to save them.
Not more than ten breaths later, Ling Chengxin rode the fairy crane and landed on the ground in front of the large number of refugees.
Seeing that the refugees were talking to each other in a very noisy manner, and it was impossible to hear what everyone was saying, he frowned, cast two small spells of sound enhancement and intimidation, and said coercively.
"Quiet, who among you is the leader? Let the leader speak out." Thanks to the two techniques of amplification and intimidation, this voice was not only extremely loud, but also sounded like the roar of a tiger to the ears of thousands of refugees. .
Fear suddenly appeared on their faces, and they did not dare to cry.
Many young children even had a trace of mist in their eyes, and were on the verge of being frightened and crying.
For a moment, the place was completely silent.
Among the thousands of refugees, a sturdy middle-aged man who was holding a child and dressed relatively neatly. When he heard the words of the immortal riding the crane, he immediately handed the child in his hand to a dignified-looking woman next to him.
"Madam, hold Ye'er for a while."
After the lady took the child, she looked at the front of the refugee team, the majestic young immortal riding a crane, and then looked at She looked at her husband with a worried expression and spoke softly in a suppressed voice.
"Ms. sir, will this immortal leader of the Ling family take us in?"
The upright woman also had some insight. Seeing Ling Cheng's new Taoist robe, she also guessed that Ling Cheng The new one is the identity of Ling's Xiushui.
"They should be able to do it, don't worry." The sturdy middle-aged man was not sure whether the Immortal of the Ling Family would take them in, but in order to prevent his wife from worrying too much, he comforted her.
After saying that, he quickly walked out of the crowd and walked to the front of the refugee team, in front of Ling Chengxin who was riding on the back of the fairy crane. He looked respectful and asked with his hands raised.
"Immortal, we are from Jiyun County, Bingjiao County. My name is Shen Qi. I belong to the Shen family of Jiyun County Zhuji Family. I am a citizen of Jiyun Town. I can barely He is the leader of this group of people.”
“More than ten days ago, a large number of monsters broke into our Shen family’s territory and attacked near Jiyun Town where we live. Because of the monster attack. ,I These mortals can only enter the fairy mountain where I, the Shen family immortal, are stationed next to the town, Jiyun Mountain to avoid the attacks of the monsters.” Among them, other immortals came to support, but they could only defend Jiyun Mountain, but then a wave of monsters joined, causing Jiyun Mountain to be breached. "
"Thousands of us mortals also took advantage of the gap between the battle between the demonic beasts and the Shen clan's immortals to escape and live to this day."
"This time we rashly entered the Ling clan's realm where the immortal belonged. Also in order to avoid the pursuit of that group of monsters, our Shen family's territory has become unavoidable. Monsters are rampant. The other small towns in the territory are all occupied by monsters. Therefore, And we want to find a shelter in your family’s territory.”
“As long as the Immortal Chief is willing to give me a safe place and let me have fields to cultivate, we will definitely not leave in the future. After that, we are all members of the Ling family and have changed our surnames to Ling."
Ling Cheng said, feeling quite satisfied.
He thought it would take some effort to keep these refugees in the family, but he didn't expect it to be so easy.
However, Shen Qi's approach made Ling Chengxin somewhat look down upon.
Changing your name to save your life is a great shame for the family monks.
"Aren't you afraid that after you, the monks of the Shen family, brought down the monsters in the territory, they came to find you and blamed you for rashly changing your surname to survive?" Ling Chengxin said solemnly.
"Although I am a mortal, I have heard of some of the names of the Ling family. I think the immortals of the Shen family will not offend the immortals of your family because of me."< br>
“To be fair, I don’t have the blood of the Shen family in me. Including the thousand people behind me, there are only a few people who have the blood of the Shen family, and their surname is not Shen originally.”
"Those thousands of people and I were all bought by the Shen family from the Bailing Sect to expand the number of ordinary people under their command. Our surnames were also changed at that time."
"For those of us who are being bought and sold, As for people, if we can use our surname to save our lives, we are very willing to do so," Shen Qi, a sturdy middle-aged man, said with a look of helplessness.
"Such a situation is understandable." Ling Chengxin suddenly realized, and the doubts in his heart suddenly disappeared like smoke.
More than twenty years ago, when the Ling family first became the Foundation Building Family and occupied a large area of Anyang County, they also bought tens of thousands of mortals from Bailingmen to expand the number of mortals in the family and lay the foundation.
Now more than twenty years have passed, and most of those purchased mortals have been assimilated by the Ling family mortals.
Even those who have not yet assimilated will definitely be assimilated in dozens, hundreds, or several generations, and their hearts will belong to the Ling family from then on.
The Shen family had the same idea as the Ling family when they purchased Shen Qi.
But the Shen family was invaded by monsters and lost to the monsters, resulting in such a situation.
"I can take you in, but I, the Ling family, are not as kind as the Shen family. You need to sign a contract with me, the Ling family, and promise not to leave my Ling family's territory. Once you leave, I, the Ling family, will kill you. Just wait." Ling Chengxin said solemnly.
"Immortal, this is natural." Shen Qi said respectfully.
"Take this map and follow it, keep heading north until you reach a small town called Xia Zhi Town of my Ling family. After entering the town, tell the monks where you came from and where you will be stationed. The monks won’t make it difficult for you to wait.”
Ling Chengxin took out a map from his storage bag, handed it to Shen Qi, and said something.
However, thinking that Shen Qi and his group of refugees were too numerous and without the protection of monks, they might encounter danger during the several-day journey to Xia Zhi Mountain, hundreds of miles away, so he ordered himself The fairy crane who sat down and was in the late stage of Qi training escorted Shen Qi and his party to Xia Zhi Mountain.
Now is the period of monster chaos, and monsters often appear even in the Ling clan.
As for himself, he needs to sit here and take care of the underground caves of Qingshi Lake and the spiritual plants in Qingshi Mountain. It is difficult to get away.
After all, Shen Qi and his group of mortals were not traveling very fast, and it would take at least several days to resist Xia Zhi Town.
After handling the matter, Ling Chengxin watched Shen Qi and others for a while, then returned to the underground cave of Qingshi Lake to refine the elixir.
