Chapter 204 The Style of the Lu Family
After leaving Guyang Mountain, Song Qingming returned to Qinghe County without any further delay.
Song Xinyu was successfully sent to Xiaoyao Sect this time, which can be regarded as a worry for Song Qingming. The next step is to consider how to support Qingyu to build the foundation. In any case, the future of the family will be It still has to be in the hands of young monks like them.
Relying on the stability of Qinghe County in recent years, the Song family has slowly made up for the shortfall in the family's Golden Pavilion, and the merits in the hands of the clan can gradually be exchanged for spiritual stones or various spiritual objects. , life gradually became richer, and everyone's cultivation level also improved a lot.
Song Qingyu had successfully broken through to the ninth level of Qi Refining a year ago and could build the foundation at any time. However, the Song family's foundation was still relatively weak and there was no way to get her the foundation building pill yet. She thought To build a foundation, we also need to look at the opportunities in the future.
When he has the ability, Song Qingming still wants to help the family train another foundation-building monk. This is not only for the sake of the family, but also so that he can have a reliable helper in the future, but now although he has There was a spirit stone, but there was no way to exchange it for the Foundation Establishment Pill, so Song Qingyu could only wait.
After returning to Qinghe County, Song Qingming did not return directly to Funiu Mountain, but took a detour to Qinghefang.
As soon as he arrived at the gate of Fangshi, Song Qingming saw a few monks arguing about something at the gate of Qinghefang from a distance above the flying sword. Song Qingming, who didn't know what happened, put away the flying sword in advance. The sword slowly walked this way.
"Boy, I told you that there are regulations in the city. You can't bring this thing in. Why don't you understand?" A gatekeeper monk in the middle stage of Qi refining pinched his nose and pointed at the cloth bag on his back. The man in yellow yelled loudly.
"When was this stipulated? Last time I came to Fangshi, I let you take me with you. Why can't you do it this time? If I don't let you in, just return the spirit stone to me." Huang was stopped. The man in clothes was only at the third level of Qi Refining. At first glance, he looked like a casual cultivator with no background. At this moment, he was still a little aggrieved when facing the gatekeeper's deliberate attempts to make things difficult for him.
"When will the rules of the city be changed? Do I need to inform you? Even things like monster excrement have to be brought in. What kind of place do you think we are, Qinghefang? They smoked the rest of us like this without looking for you. It's good to ask for compensation. If you dare to ask for spiritual stones, get out of here, but don't force us to drive people away."< br>
Seeing several gatekeeper monks approaching and trying to chase them away, the man in yellow hurriedly took a few steps back, turned around and was about to admit that he was unlucky and leave, but he didn't want them to glance behind him. Finally, he suddenly bypassed him and came to a young man respectfully, bowing his head and saluting.
"Senior Song, when did you arrive? I was so blind that I didn't see you just now. Please forgive me."
As soon as they heard them calling senior, several people gathered around the gate of Fangshi , including the man in yellow who had just been driven away by them, all stood there with shock on their faces.
These people basically hang out in small places like Qinghe County all year round. It is really rare to see a foundation-building senior at such a close distance. All of them suddenly focused their attention on that place. On a young man.
Song Qingming, who looked calm at this time, nodded with a smile, and then said to the few people who came forward to salute: "Since this little brother doesn't know this rule yet, it is understandable. We are already here. I I think it's better to let him in, so as not to block the door and delay everyone. It’s time for family, don’t you think?”
Five years have passed, and now the people stationed at Qinghefang have been replaced by monks from the Lu family. I saw that the monks guarding the gate just looked a little arrogant and domineering. , Song Qingming could only helplessly shake his head. Among the several major foundation-building families in Qinghe County, the monks under the Huang and Gao families, even if they looked down on these low-level casual cultivators, would occasionally bully others, but they were always very obedient to the rules. Back then, Song Qingming When stationed at Qinghefang, the Jinbao who handled Gao Yufu, the shopkeeper of the hall, was considered a monk of some status within the Gao family. They were not so blatant in the deceptive activities they did in the market. They only dared to do it secretly. After the incident, Gao Yufu was whipped by Song Qingming in public. The Gao family There was no personal intercession for him on this matter.
It is precisely for this reason that although Qinghefang is only a small city, it is still well-known around Jiangling County. When the monsters were in turmoil, many casual cultivators chose to run away. Take refuge here.
Although the Song family is a family that has only risen in recent years, under Song Qingming's leadership and restraint, it has always acted relatively low-key, and does not look at people with their nostrils up like the people in front of them; the Song family has not been promoted to When they were members of the Foundation Establishment Family, they were in Qinghefang and were looked down upon by the other Foundation Establishment families in Qinghefang. This is why most of the current Song family monks still have some sympathy for these casual cultivators.
Only the behavior of the monks of the Lu family made Song Qingming feel a little disgusted. In broad daylight, he dared to borrow power and make money at the gate of Fangshi. He didn't know how the patriarch Lu Xingde disciplined the monks under the Lu family. Yes, the reputation Qinghefang has managed to build up over the years will probably be exhausted by these people before long.
Although he was a little worried, Song Qingming didn’t want to worry about this matter now. How was the business in Qinghefang? The ones who should worry most about it were Lu Yuanfeng and the Huang and Gao families. They occupied the Most of the interests of the market are not yet the Song family's turn to take the lead.
"Senior said that the junior and others did not intend to embarrass him just now. In fact, senior Lu gave our law enforcement team an order not long ago to clean up and rectify the image of Fangshi. Just talk to him about the rules." Seeing that Song Qingming, a normally aloof Foundation Establishment cultivator, would actually speak for a down-and-out third-level Qi Refining cultivator, these people were a little surprised and quickly explained a few words.
When these people just faced these low-level casual cultivators, they looked arrogant and domineering. Now when they faced Song Qingming, they suddenly turned into a flattering face, which really made Song Qingming feel a little funny. ,ever.
After saying that, a monk from the law enforcement team quickly turned around and said loudly to the few people who were still blocking the door of Fangshi: "Why don't you go in? Why are you blocking the door? Didn't you hear what the senior just said? words? ”
When the man in yellow and everyone heard this, they quickly lowered their heads and thanked Song Qingming, and quickly passed through the gate of Fangshi.
Song Qingming smiled and nodded, and followed them into Qinghefang.
After the Battle of Duanliu Mountain, as the Huang and Gao families took the initiative to cease their activities and acquiesced in their respective territories, the situation in Qinghe County has gradually stabilized in the past few years, and Qinghefang has also returned to its former peace. , but there are indeed fewer pedestrians on the street than before.
After entering Fang City, Song Qingming first went to the Song family shop and gave them some alchemy materials brought from Yangshanfang, and then stopped by Huang Siyuan's Jinfeng Tower.
Since moving back to Funiu Mountain, Song Qingming has rarely come here in the past few years. Since he has arrived at Qinghefang today, he will naturally not let go of this opportunity to comfort the Five Zang Temple, and he ordered it in one breath A table full of delicious spiritual food. Now that he is a foundation-building monk, he still has enough spiritual stones.
