Chapter 34 Foundation Building Celebration
Two months have passed in the blink of an eye, and the Fourteenth Uncle’s Foundation Building Celebration is about to begin.
In order to hold this celebration, everyone in the Lin family except the patriarch and the few kids in the school mobilized and prepared half a month in advance. There were quite a lot of things to do.
It is necessary to arrange manpower to distribute tasks, rehearse various ceremonies, and prepare meat, vegetables, fruits, tea, wine, etc. for guests.
Assign a clan elder to accompany each representative of the foundation-building family to show that they value and respect each other and the family.
In addition, we must prepare the best accommodation for these representatives, and we must also consider that those who have conflicts cannot be arranged together.
And then there are the friends who have good family connections and will come to support them, and the friends invited by the fourteenth uncle himself. These people must consider their respective relationships before arranging their residence, and try to ensure that there will be no conflicts during the celebration. or other emergencies.
Fortunately, all major families have a tacit understanding that they will not send foundation-building monks to this kind of celebration, otherwise it would be more difficult to arrange and the safety issue alone would be difficult to solve.
The members of the demon hunting team were all assigned the task of maintaining order. At that time, a small number of people from the demon hunting team were on the mountain, and most of the people from the demon hunting team were assigned to the foot of the mountain. After all, the casual cultivators at the foot of the mountain are a mixed bag of good and bad, and more manpower is still needed to maintain order.
The task assigned by mother Xu Wenying is to help in the kitchen. In three days, a lot of delicious food needs to be made, otherwise there will not be enough manpower and it will be too busy.
Young men like Lin Changqing were not spared, and the friends also had their own tasks.
Lin Changqing's task is to guide the guests, lead them to the prepared residence according to the list, and prevent guests who don't know the way from wandering in, such as running to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion or the family warehouse.
If something happens then, just shout loudly. There will definitely be people from the Lin family's demon hunting team everywhere that day.
The Lin family has designated a large area at the foot of the main peak for casual cultivators to greet these casual cultivators who do not have invitations.
At that time, there will be a flowing banquet for three days in a row, with good wine and meat, to entertain people who are willing to join in the fun, including those who want to do business or set up stalls, they can only plan in this area Conducted within the area.
There will be people from the demon hunting team patrolling around the clock to maintain law and order. And make sure that no one will secretly stay in Zushan after the foundation celebration is over.
Guests who have invitations will be invited to the main peak to be specially entertained by family elders. Lin Changqing doesn't need to worry about these, as long as he ensures to complete his tasks.
The most important thing is that the clan leader will personally sit at the core of the Jiuqu Yunhe Formation and activate the formation as soon as possible in case of any emergency.
Keep your family safe! You must know that most of the strong fortresses can be breached from the inside, so be careful and you won’t make a big mistake!
Lin Changqing is actually looking forward to it. After all, he can see this kind of excitement on his own property, and he can also satisfy his expectations of picking up leaks from the street stalls. He wonders if the stall owner from Gambling Stone Square will come. Hope he will come!
Today is the first day of the official celebration. Lin Changqing woke up early specifically to ensure that he completed his daily training tasks first.
Cultivation is very dependent on self-discipline and awareness. Anyway, Lin Changqing believes that if you persevere, you will always be rewarded.
After completing the practice, report to the family square. Today, the main peak of Jiufeng Mountain is decorated with lanterns and colorful lights. The faces of the clan members are beaming with joy. This is much more lively than the Chinese New Year.
I arrived at my assigned position smoothly. Because I had rehearsed it several times, there was no risk of making mistakes. However, today is the first day and it will definitely be busy.
Sure enough, as soon as Chen hour passed, more and more people began to come and go. There was an endless stream of people coming and going. They were so busy that they didn't touch the ground and didn't even bother to drink a sip of water. Fortunately, the number of guests on the mountain is relatively fixed, and the business was finally finished before noon.
The only gain may be getting to know the representatives of the twelve foundation-building families, as well as some monks who have good relations with the families. It can be regarded as a general understanding of the distribution of forces in Pingyang Mansion.
Go to the canteen arranged by the family, have a casual meal, and then return to work. As long as you persist until tomorrow, the task will be completed. Today the guests are not familiar with the layout of each building, and tomorrow Lin Changqing will hardly have anything to do with him.
The family is relatively experienced in holding this kind of foundation-building celebration.
On the first day of the celebration, the Fourteenth Uncle is the protagonist, and his main task is to participate in various rituals to worship heaven, earth and ancestors.
Representatives of each family mainly served as witnesses and guests of the ceremony, and sent congratulatory gifts from each family. After the ceremony, they enjoyed the warm hospitality of the Lin family.
Everything was in order, and everything went smoothly without any surprises. Lin Changqing's mission was successfully completed.
On the second day of the celebration, the main thing in the morning was the sermon given by the fourteenth uncle!
The content of the sermon was carefully organized by the Fourteenth Uncle. Starting from his own Qi refining period, he discussed the various problems encountered during his practice and the solutions to them. There are also some cultivation experiences and techniques that I have summarized.
The most important thing is the situations you will encounter when breaking through the foundation building, and the things you need to pay attention to during the foundation building process. Let’s go through them one by one. It’s full of useful information!
This is also an important reason why many casual cultivators come uninvited. Foundation-building monks preaching is a rare good thing, and it is very important for these casual cultivators who have no master!
Everyone in the audience was fascinated and suddenly realized. Lin Changqing was also fascinated by it. Comparing his own cultivation process, the two confirmed that they also benefited a lot.
There was nothing much going on in the afternoon. Lin Changqing had been looking forward to shopping at the street stalls. He brought his mother to visit the street stalls, but his father had to patrol to maintain order and could not come.
The mother and son arrived at the foot of the mountain and found that the scale of this street stall was much smaller than the one in Pingyangfang City last time.
However, I still started shopping with great interest. My mother mainly looked at the spiritual objects related to talismans, such as talisman paper, talisman pens, special spiritual objects needed to draw talismans, etc.
On the surface, Lin Changqing was looking at everything related to spiritual planters. In fact, it is to see if there are any spiritual objects that will emit a halo, so that I can catch them.
After shopping around for a while, my mother harvested several dozen high-quality talisman papers and a special spiritual object needed to draw talismans. Lin Changqing has been shopping and has not yet opened any shops. He came across two kinds of elixirs that are also owned by the family, so there is no need to buy them outside.
Fortunately, after shopping around for a while, I finally found something at a stall. The Polygonatum chinensis and Blood Spirit Grass in this stall are both first-class high-grade elixirs. Polygonatum chinensis nourishes Qi, and Blood Spirit Grass nourishes blood. . Just enough to refine the first-level Huangjing Blood Replenishing Pill, which is a magical elixir for replenishing qi and blood.
I took six drops of blood essence in the last twenty days, and my body was weak for several months. I still remember it fresh. Now that I encountered a magical elixir for replenishing qi and blood, I naturally couldn’t let it go.
“Boss, how do you sell Huang Jingzhi and Blood Spirit Grass?” Lin Changqing asked.
The boss glanced at Lin Changqing and said: "These three Huang Jingzhi are 20 spirit stones each, and the four blood spirit grass are 15 spirit stones each, a total of 120 spirit stones."
"Can it be cheaper, in total? "70 spirit stones, I'll give you 10 spirit stones for each plant." Lin Changqing tried to bargain.
Seeing that Lin Changqing was still offering such a low price, the boss said angrily: "Take away the minimum 100 spirit stones, no matter how low they are."
Looking at the boss's resolute attitude, he knew there was nothing he could do anymore. When it was low, Lin Changqing quickly took out 100 spirit stones and handed it to the boss. He also collected the seven elixirs.
The street stalls are not very big, and I finished shopping in a short time. Anyway, I didn’t see the halo, and I didn’t pick up the leaks, but I did see the gambling stone square, which was surrounded by many people.
