When facing Patriarch Longyan, it felt completely different from seeing Patriarch Mingsheng. Although Patriarch Mingsheng looks a bit old-fashioned, he can give people a strong yang aura of a man in his prime.
And Longyan's ancestor is not only thin, but also seems to have a trace of depression. It's no wonder that Patriarch Longyan's condition has become worse and worse in recent years. She has greatly reduced the consumption of spiritual food, and used this savings to provide for the younger generations in the family.
As a cultivator at the Lingtai Realm, his physical strength far exceeds that of a cultivator at the Qi Refining Realm. However, according to the law of conservation of energy in the universe, the source of energy will not be created out of thin air, and the more powerful the body, the greater the consumption.
Ordinary food, for the ancestors of the Lingtai realm, the conversion efficiency of qi and blood is too low. Therefore, all ancestors at the spirit platform usually need to supplement spiritual food for a long time to maintain a strong body function, and even to strengthen themselves.
However, with the failure of the Sixth Old Master Wang Xiaohan to attack the Lingtai Realm, the resources in the family became more and more tight. The ancestor of Longyan gradually reduced the consumption of spiritual food. Now she only consumes 80 catties of spiritual rice and 100 catties of spiritual fish and meat food every year. And 2 second-order elixir Guyuan Dan.
Among them, the total amount of spiritual food is 36 dry gold, and 2 Guyuan pills are only 60 dry gold.
The patriarch of the majestic Lingtai realm consumes less than 100 dry gold per year! This is probably only enough for her to maintain her state of meditation...
In fact, she wasn't the only one doing it.
Those elders in the family only receive resources such as spiritual food to maintain their bodies, and their cultivation has stagnated for many years. They gave up the opportunity to younger, more potential juniors.
"Shou Zhe, are you sad?" Patriarch Longyan didn't turn his head, his voice was ethereal and light, not at all hoarse like an ordinary woman's aging.
"It's just that I feel sorry for my ancestor." Wang Shouzhe said truthfully.
In fact, Patriarch Longyan is only 115 years old, not a few years older than Patriarch Mingsheng of the Lu clan, and is still far away from the limit of Lingtai Realm.
It is said that the ancestor Longyan was promoted to the Lingtai stage when he was 30 years old, and reached the middle stage of the Lingtai stage when he was 60 years old, and his body functions have always been maintained at the peak state of youth and beauty.
How high-spirited she was at that time, and her goal in life was directed at a higher level of heaven and man!
Unfortunately.
The animal disaster in the 3095th year of the Changlong calendar forced the Pingan Wang family from the clouds to the mud, and at the same time broke the wings of the ancestor Longyan.
"The tide ebbs and flows, flowers bloom and wither, these are the most common things in the world." Patriarch Longyan said calmly, before turning around slowly, "I have heard Hui'er tell you about your recent experience. Well done."
Although her figure is a little thin, but with an ordinary cotton spun dress and cloth shoes, she has a kind of fairy air lightly, and her pair of star eyes are like a hundred feet cold pool, which is completely impossible to see through.
The only thing that Wang Shouzhe regretted was that the ancestor Longyan wore a veil on his face, so he couldn't see his face clearly.
However, the ancestor's veil was not worn just today, since Wang Shouzhe could remember, she had been dressed like this, and she had never seen the real face of the ancestor Longyan.
"Thank you for your praise." Wang Shouzhe cupped his hands and said, "As long as my ancestor doesn't blame Shouzhe and Meng Lang." After a pause, he said curiously, "Is there any instruction for my ancestor to find Shouzhe?"
He was a little apprehensive, because he was afraid that Longyan's ancestor would not agree with him to implement the sequential competition mechanism, because the older generation of clansmen all valued clan unity and friendship. You may wonder if if they compete with each other for the sequence position, it will cause disadvantages such as brothers fighting against each other and sisters turning their faces.
"Shouzhe, you are the patriarch." Patriarch Longyan said calmly, "I will never tell you what to do."
"Then ancestor, you this time..." Wang Shouzhe was a little confused, the ancestor Longyan was not the kind of person who came to chat with him when he had nothing to do, and praised him casually.
"I need you to make arrangements and accompany me to the Baidaowei." Longyan Patriarch said.
Hundred Islands City
Wang Shouzhe was taken aback, and it took a long time before he remembered that it was an acropolis near the East China Sea. It is normal to react slowly, he has never been out of Dalian Changningwei since he was a child, so how can he think so far in his head.
And since that catastrophe, Patriarch Longyan has never left the range of Changning Guard.
He suppressed his curiosity, cupped his hands and said, "Shouzhe takes orders, please wait a few days for the ancestor, and I will make arrangements." Regardless of the intentions of the ancestor Longyan, it is impossible for Wang Shouzhe to refuse her request.
After taking orders from the ancestor of Longyan, Wang Shouzhe went back to his yard, took out the map of states and counties and began to check, and figured out his travel plan.
The first element of Longyan's patriarch traveling is secrecy.
Now is the period when the pest outbreak is at its worst, and Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Zhao are in a state of desperation, but even so, they cannot relax their vigilance.
Secondly, Patriarch Longyan's physical condition must be taken into consideration, and she should not be bumped as much as possible, and someone needs to serve her all the way. The person who will serve her personally must also be carefully considered.
In a short while, he drew up the route and plan for the trip.
"Wang Gui." Wang Shouzhe called the boy in, "Go invite my fourth aunt Xu and Wang Lici over here."
Wang Gui was taken aback: "Fourth Aunt Xu? Which Xu?"
"You kid, of course you belong to my fourth uncle's family. Can't you remember the dozens of people in the family, old and young?" Wang Shouzhe frowned and almost kicked him.
"Could it be that the Patriarch wants to summon Mrs. Rou?" Wang Gui hurriedly nodded and ran out, "I'll go right away, right away."
But it's no wonder Wang Gui, because there are far more than one Xu family in his family. Secondly, Wang Shouzhe's fourth aunt, Xu Zhirou, has always kept a low profile. After the death of her fourth uncle Wang Dingbang five years ago, she has become even more introverted.
However, Wang Shouzhe's memory of his fourth aunt, Xu Zhirou, was more impressive. She was born in the Xu family lineage of Jinsha, and when Wang Shouzhe's biological mother passed away when he was young, Xu Zhirou was the one who took care of him.
Even after the aunt Gongsunhui Xuxian married, Xu Zhirou helped take care of her for a long time. After all, Gongsunhui was still a delicate little lady back then, and she was taught by her fourth aunt Xu Zhirou.
In his memory, Xu Zhirou's personality was gentle and meticulous, but also very ingenious. He is good at cooking as a small chef, and he also knows how to make some gadgets to make him happy.
When he was ignorant and sad at the beginning, it was the fourth aunt who took care of him through the most difficult days. It's a pity that the fourth aunt later became pregnant with the fifth younger sister Wang Luojing, and went back to raise the baby six months later.
From then on, Wang Shouzhe lived with his aunt, Gongsunhui, and did not move to live alone in the courtyard of the young patriarch until he was fourteen years old.
Choosing the fourth aunt Xu, Wang Shouzhe valued her gentleness and meticulousness. If the ancestor travels, he needs an experienced and mature woman to take care of him. After thinking about it, it is very suitable for the fourth aunt.
Putting aside distracting thoughts for the time being, Wang Shouzhe continued to improve his travel plan.
Not long after, the fourth aunt Xu Zhirou and Wang Lici were ushered into his side hall by the servant Wang Gui.
The last time Wang Shouzhe saw his fourth aunt was during the funeral of his deceased father. As a family member, she was naturally busy with various things. It's just that Wang Shouzhe was in a daze at that time and didn't talk to her much.
Looking closely now, I saw that Xu Zhirou was wearing a plain fine-grained cotton dress, and there was no extra jewelry on her body. She was simple and clean. The only thing that was not the same as what she remembered was that she was a slightly vicissitudes of middle age The appearance of a woman.
It's no wonder that she gave birth to three children, and her fourth uncle passed away five years ago. Taking care of those children was enough for her.
"Ms. Xu has met the Patriarch." Xu Zhirou saluted.
Wang Lici, who was on the side, also hastily saluted and said, "Li Ci has seen Fourth Uncle."
"Fourth aunt, you are being polite. You should call me Shouzhe as before." Wang Shouzhe hurriedly returned the courtesy to Xu Zhirou, "Come on, sit down and talk first." Then he waved to Wang Lici with a smile, "Daddy Girl, sit down too."
The two thanked each other and took their seats.
Wang Gui hurriedly served tea and melons and fruits before retreating.
Wang Shouzhe first talked with Xu Zhirou for a while, and then he turned his attention to Wang Lici. Seeing that girl was holding a piece of candied fruit, he smiled and said, "What is big girl up to lately?"
Wang Lici swallowed half of the candied fruit in a hurry, got up and replied in fear: "Back to Fourth Uncle, I'm not busy with anything, I just study and practice every day."
This girl is the daughter of eldest brother Wang Shouxin. She is sixteen years old this year and is the eldest of the eighth generation of girls in the Li family. Therefore, Shouzhe's generation likes to call her big girl.
"Well, it sounds like you're working hard. Well, very good." Wang Shouzhe was very pleased that there was at least one of the girls in the family who wanted to study hard, so he smiled and said, "Then the fourth uncle is here to test your homework." , there will be rewards if you qualify.”
"What?"
Wang Lici's beautiful but baby-fat face turned pale from fright, and her calves started to tremble. Fourth Uncle is ten times more terrifying than her father, Wang Shouxin. Just look at the miserable end of her elder brother Wang Zongwei. up.
Her heart was full of remorse, and her eyes were moist. If she had known that she would be called by her fourth uncle to test her homework today, she should have tried her best to hug the Buddha's feet and study harder these days.
But who knew it would happen
There was a buzzing in her head...
Seriously.
disaster! from! sky! drop!
