…
Soon, under the guidance of the maid, Wang Shouzhe arrived at the backyard of Lu's main house, the place where ancestor Mingsheng practiced and lived in seclusion.
This place is on the edge of Yingxiu Lake, and the towering and magnificent attic can take a panoramic view of the small half of the lake. The lake breeze, the sound of the waves, the leaping fish, and the singing of birds all make the buildings here blend into the nature.
Standing in front of the attic named Yingxiu Shengmingyue, Wang Shouzhe cupped his hands and said, "Wang Shouzhe of the Wang family of Ping'an, please see Mingsheng Patriarch."
"Come in."
A gentle voice rang directly in Wang Shouzhe's ear.
Wang Shouzhe followed the instructions, and stepped on the thick wooden steps to the upper floor of the attic. Outside the window of the attic, an old man in gray robes was facing Wang Shouzhe with his back. He was sitting in the Taishi chair and was fishing in Yingxiu Lake with a long fishing line.
His posture was very casual, but with Wang Shouzhe's eyes, he couldn't see through him at all. It was like an unattainable mountain and a bottomless lake.
And beside him, there was a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl in red dress. That was Wang Shouzhe's cousin Lu Xiaoxiao. She was staring at Wang Shouzhe angrily, obviously still angry.
"Grandpa Zeng, you said Cousin Shouzhe is so irritating." Lu Xiaoxiao pouted and said, "Why does that younger sister surnamed Wang have an amethyst spirit bee hive, but Xiaoxiao doesn't?"
"Uh..." Wang Shouzhe rubbed his nose, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and smiled at this girl, she really came to the ancestor to complain.
"Then what do you think I should teach your cousin? You said last time that you like Cousin Shouzhe the most." The old man said quietly, "You don't like it now?"
"I like it, but my mother said that the current situation of the Wang family is not good, and they are short of money everywhere." Lu Xiaoxiao tilted his head and said solemnly, "I think my cousin must be very short of money, why don't you give my cousin five hundred thousand gold?" Let him buy an amethyst spirit honeycomb for me, okay? This way Xiaoxiao won’t be angry with Cousin Shouzhe.”
"Why five hundred thousand gold?" The old man asked in astonishment, "Grandpa Zeng remembered that the ordinary amethyst spirit bee hive was only two to three hundred thousand gold. Could it be that the price has soared so high now?"
"Cousin Shouzhe went to buy a beehive and it was very hard."
puff!
These words made Wang Shouzhe almost bleed, the logic of this cousin of the Lu family is really strong. In order to get a honeycomb, he was going to ask Ming Sheng Patriarch to pay for it. Unable to listen to these words anymore, he immediately coughed twice and said, "Shou Zhe has seen Patriarch Ming Sheng."
Unexpectedly, the ancestor of Mingsheng ignored Wang Shouzhe at all, but continued to talk to Lu Xiaoxiao: "Then your cousin Shouzhe bought you an amethyst spirit hive, can you listen to what Grandpa Zeng said?"
"Yes!" Lu Xiaoxiao nodded firmly.
Patriarch Mingsheng nodded slightly, turned around and smiled at Wang Shouzhe, threw it away, and a few golden tickets flew towards him.
Wang Shouzhe caught it in a hurry, and after a closer look, it turned out to be five gold tickets of one hundred thousand gold. His face was full of astonishment. What happened? Could it be...
"Shou Zhe, did you hear that?" Ancestor Ming Sheng's face, which looked like he was only in his fifties, showed a hint of a joke, "I'll buy you an amethyst spirit honeycomb for your cousin Xiaoxiao later, The rest is your errand fee."
"This, old ancestor." Wang Shouzhe hurriedly said with a drop of cold sweat, "This is absolutely unacceptable. Cousin Xiaoxiao really likes the Amethyst Spirit Honeycomb. I will find a way to buy one."
"Okay, don't you know what your Wang family is like now?" Ancestor Mingsheng waved his hands impatiently, "Take these dry gold first, and prepare more cultivation resources. The Amethyst Spirit Beehive is waiting for you Let's talk about it when it's convenient."
Wang Shouzhe's heart warmed slightly, and he cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your support, ancestor." It seems that ancestor Mingsheng intended to support his great-grandson, so he was naturally not pretentious immediately, let's talk about it after receiving the money.
"Thank you for smiling, cousin." Ancestor Ming Sheng said with a smile, "If it wasn't for being pestered by her, I wouldn't be willing to give up the dry money." To Lu Shi, five hundred thousand gold is not a small amount, After removing all kinds of huge expenses, it may not be possible to save this figure in a year.
"Thank you, Cousin Xiaoxiao." Wang Shouzhe also cupped his hands.
"Huh." Lu Xiaoxiao turned his head away and snorted coquettishly, as if ignoring him.
"Smile, you have to live up to your expectations. Don't be compared to that little girl who is a spirit insect master." Ming Sheng's ancestor on the side "provocatively" said, "If you can successfully learn the formation master together and become a first-order formation As a mage, keep your cousin Shou Zhe looking at you with admiration."
"Array Master?"
Wang Shouzhe was surprised and said, "Old Ancestor, could it be that Cousin Xiaoxiao has the talent to learn formations?"
"Why, your Wang family is allowed to produce a spirit insect master, but our Lu family is not allowed to produce a formation master?" Ming Sheng Patriarch said with a half-smile.
A drop of cold sweat fell on Wang Shouzhe's forehead: "I didn't mean that, my ancestor, but I was a little surprised. Congratulations to my ancestor, and congratulations to my cousin Xiaoxiao."
But in his heart, he was feeling emotional. It was really hard to be sure about this talent. He vaguely remembered that Lu Xiaoxiao's "Nine Chapters of Calculation" was poorly learned, and he still had the talent for formations...
"Grandpa Zeng, from now on I will definitely work hard and stop being lazy." Lu Xiaoxiao said obediently, "When I turn back and become a first-order array mage, I will definitely not be angry with that little girl who is a spirit insect master." Let Cousin Shouzhe underestimate him."
"Ambition, this is like my great-granddaughter of Lu Mingsheng. Come on, let's lay the groundwork first, and later on, great-grandpa will take you to apprenticeship." Mingsheng's patriarch looked at Lu Xiaoxiao kindly, but waved casually at Wang Shouzhe, "Shouzhe, what should you be busy with?"
Is this feeling being treated as a tool
Wang Shouzhe was speechless, but he was willing to be a toolman as many times as he would get five hundred thousand gold. Moreover, Lu Xiaoxiao has a talent for formations, which is a great thing. She is his cousin by direct blood, and the blood relationship between the two is very close.
However, it was rare to see Mingsheng Patriarch once, and Wang Shouzhe didn't want to waste the opportunity so easily, he immediately cupped his hands and asked, "Patriarch, Shouzhe has a few obscure points in his cultivation, I hope you can give me some pointers."
"Stinky boy, don't push yourself too hard." Mingsheng Patriarch blew his beard and stared, "Your Longyan Patriarch is well-informed, and you still need me to guide you?"
"If you listen to it, you will understand." Wang Shouzhe said with a smirk, "Having the opportunity to confirm it in many ways will be very beneficial to the boy's path to the altar. I think the environment here is good for the ancestor, and he will surely make a huge difference in cultivation..."
He put on a rogue posture that if the ancestor Mingsheng refused to give advice, he would not leave. As a junior, there is no problem in playing a scoundrel on great-grandfather.
"All right, all right, if you have any questions, hurry up and ask, and leave as soon as you're done asking, don't disturb me Qingxiu." Ancestor Ming Sheng said helplessly.
Wang Shouzhe hurriedly threw out the prepared questions one by one.
Patriarch Mingsheng was actually only superficially disgusted. It was impossible to be sloppy with Wang Shouzhe's cultivation questions, and he answered them after thinking about them one by one. Unexpectedly, as he asked, Wang Shouzhe's questions gradually became tricky. Even Patriarch Mingsheng had to think carefully before answering.
Before being transmigrated, Wang Shouzhe was a dull gourd who only knew how to practice on his own. Sometimes he didn't dare to ask Patriarch Longyan for advice after holding back a lot of questions. But the current Wang Shouzhe is completely different. Under the influence of the thinking of modern earthlings, he has accumulated a lot of cultivation problems from various angles.
This is one of the differences between the children of the aristocratic family and the casual cultivators. There are family elders who can give advice.
"Stinky boy, it's almost done. Patriarch, I also want to practice." After more than two hours in a row, Patriarch Mingsheng also felt that he couldn't take it anymore. Where did this kid ask so many weird questions? If he keeps asking him like this, I'm afraid he won't be able to answer them.
He can't make nonsense about things he doesn't understand. If something goes wrong, wouldn't it harm the younger generation
I can't stand it anymore!
At first, Lu Xiaoxiao was pretending to listen, but the more he heard it, the more he didn't understand and became bored, and fell asleep lying on the side.
"Thank you, ancestor, for clarifying the confusion. Shouzhe is really enlightened." Wang Shouzhe also accepted it as soon as he saw it, stood up and cupped his hands, and said, "Boy, I wish my ancestors a speedy success in mystic skills, and be promoted to heaven and man."
This made Patriarch Mingsheng very happy. Although he was still staggering forward on the road to the mid-stage of the Lingtai, who would not want to go further when he reached the Lingtai stage
You must know that all people in the spirit platform are mortals, and their lifespan is no more than a hundred years. After reaching the Lingtai Realm, the life span can be doubled, and the lifespan limit can reach two hundred years. This is why the Lingtai Realm is called the ancestors, because they are alive, and they will find that their descendants and juniors have died before them.
