Deer seeks fairyland

Chapter 96

Fortunately, although the patriarch did not agree to immediately give Liu Xiaolu the status of young master, after Hu Yizhi offered the Sky Spirit Fruit, he readily agreed to go to Zongyuan City to get rid of Luo Lin's ghost energy.

He also took out a huge jade plate from the back room, which was densely engraved with countless names. Hu Yuyuan picked up a gold lacquer pen from the table, and added the three characters Hu Rulu on a corner of the jade plate.

Then he waved his hands at the two of them again, and said, "The two of you go to the West Courtyard first to find a place to live. After lunch, I will follow you to Zongyuan City."

"Yes, patriarch."

Hu Yizhi bowed again and pulled the girl in white beside him to retreat from the room.

At the moment, there is no one to guide them. Fortunately, the buildings of the Hu family's ancestral land have not changed much in the past 20 years. Although Hu Yizhi grew up in the east courtyard, he has some understanding of the topography of the west courtyard. .

Hu Weiming, the steward of the West Courtyard, is a white-faced, beardless, middle-aged man in his fifties. Although he looks quite handsome, he always looks a little less masculine and more feminine.

"Uncle Nine, Yi Zhi returned to the family today, and was ordered by the patriarch to bring the little girl to the West Courtyard for resettlement." Hu Yizhi saluted.

Hu Weiming touched his clean chin, frowned and sized up the two of them for a while, before he said, "Yi Zhi? I remember you are Fifth Brother's child? Hey, it's a pity to say that Fifth Brother."

Hu Yizhi's face darkened but he didn't say a word, and Liu Xiaolu who was beside him naturally didn't dare to answer casually.

Hu Weiming sighed, and continued, "Forget it, it's good to come back. Now that you are Uncle Yi, you have already reached the tenth level of Qi Refining. I think the life of you father and daughter will be much easier in the future."

"Uncle Seven has really broken through to the tenth level of Qi Refining?" Hu Yizhi said in surprise.

"Seventh brother broke through to the tenth level of Qi refining five years ago. If it weren't for the fact that there is no wealthy Foundation Establishment Pill in the family, it is impossible to say that there will be another Foundation Establishment stage monk in our family." Hu Weiming shook his head. , said with some regret.

Hu Yizhi frowned when he heard the words, and asked in confusion, "Why is this? Are there many monks on the tenth floor of Qi refining in the clan?"

Hu Weiyi is more than sixty years old this year. If there are young monks in the clan who break through to the tenth level of Qi refining first, it would be reasonable to use the Foundation Establishment Pill that was allocated for the younger generation first.

Hu Weiming smiled wryly, and said, "Since eldest brother passed away, there is no other tenth-level Qi-refining monk in our generation except you, Uncle Weiyi."

"Among the more than ten members of Yi's generation, only Yi Quan's nephew has broken through to the ninth level of Qi Refining, and everyone else is at the mid-stage of Qi Refining."

"There are a few good seedlings in Ruzi's generation, but they are still young, and they are not mature yet."

"Yi Zhi, compared to 20 years ago, although the family seems to be still glamorous today, it is actually already crumbling and struggling."

Hu Yizhi obviously didn't expect the current situation of the family to be like this, his face changed slightly, and he said, "Did the third uncle not succeed in establishing the foundation? With the addition of the third uncle, my Hu family should have at least three foundation-building monks. Why is it so difficult?" ?”

"Your third uncle succeeded in building the foundation 23 years ago. The family really had a good time in those few years, but the good times didn't last long. Since the sixth grandfather passed away 15 years ago, our Hu family has gone from bad to worse." Hu Wei Ming sighed.

Hu Weiming's sixth grandfather, that is, Hu Yizhi's great-uncle, Hu Suolan, was a late-stage foundation cultivator.The patriarch, Hu Yuyuan, is a monk in the middle stage of foundation establishment, and Hu Weixian, a newly promoted monk in the foundation stage 20 years ago, is still in the early stage of foundation establishment until now.

After Hu Suolan passed away, although the Hu family still had two foundation-building monks, it seemed that the number had not changed, but without the support of the late-stage monks in the family, the rest of the nearby cultivating families would inevitably treat the Hu family in Zongyuan City. Hu's property has become eye-catching, and what's more, he may have already set his mind on the Hu family's ancestral land, which is unknown.

All the descendants of the Hu clan have been eliminated, and there is only one patriarch in the mid-foundation period left in the Yu family. Although there is a third uncle in the foundation period for the descendants, the rest of the uncles are also getting older. Long, the only Seventh Uncle who built the tenth floor of the foundation is also over sixty years old, everyone in the Yi generation is mediocre, and the Ru generation only has some youngsters who have not yet grown up.

Thinking of this, Hu Yizhi couldn't help showing a look of sadness on his face.

Seeing this, Hu Weiming sighed again, and said, "Now the family is in the middle of nowhere, I just hope that we old guys can last a little longer, and when these little guys of the same generation grow up, there will be no more Worry about the future."

Then he seemed to think of something, turned his head to look at Liu Xiaolu, and asked, "Yi Zhi, your girl looks pretty good, but I don't know how talented she is, how old is she this year?"

"The little girl is a double spiritual root aptitude, and she is almost 12 years old this year." Speaking of Liu Xiaolu, Hu Yizhi's face looked a little better, and he smiled.

"A 12-year-old Qi Refining Level [-]?!"

Hu Weiming's complexion changed when he heard the words, and he quickly continued, "Yi Zhi, did you make a mistake, how could you live in the west courtyard with the dual spiritual root qualifications, not to mention living in the east courtyard, even the status of the young master is enough. "

"Actually, Yi Zhi originally thought that the patriarch would arrange for the little girl to be the young master, but just now the patriarch said that my little girl and I just returned today, and I'm afraid that other people in the clan will criticize me if I give the young master directly, so I let the two of us go first." Come to Uncle Jiu of the West Court." Hu Yizhi frowned.

Hu Weiming pondered for a while, and said, "Forget it, since it's the patriarch's arrangement, I can't say more. After talking for so long, let's take the two of you to the residence first."

The two followed Hu Weiming to a courtyard in the west courtyard, exchanged some pleasantries, and then Hu Weiming left.

Liu Xiaolu went into the house and changed into the family clothes that Hu Weiming had prepared for them, and tied the Hu family's identity jade pendant around his waist. The clothes he was wearing were made of some kind of fabric. Wearing it on the body, it makes people feel warm all over the body in the cold spring of February.

After looking at the bronze mirror on the table again and again, Liu Xiaolu suddenly understood why Master only wore white clothes all year round.

It turned out that the Hu family's family costumes were all moon white gowns. From today onwards, no matter if they were the young children of the clan, the stewards of the clan, or even the patriarch, they all wore white clothes.

But it seemed to be a little different, Liu Xiaolu carefully looked at his own shadow in the bronze mirror, there were two silver crescent moons embroidered on the chest of the moon white gown, and brocade with cloud patterns rolled around the skirt and cuffs.

However, the steward of the West Court that I saw just now had three silver crescents embroidered on his body, and the patriarch's chest was even more embroidered with two golden crescents.

Come to think of it, from the number and color of the crescent moons embroidered on the clothes, one can tell each person's cultivation level and status in the clan.

After Liu Xiaolu changed her clothes and walked into the main room, she found that Hu Yizhi had been sitting at the table waiting for her at some point.
