Collect crowd into immortals

Chapter 181 Taking the Ancestor on a Tour of Jingnan City

"Five clans unite?"

Hearing this idea, Chen Yongxu was quite surprised.

The five clans have been separated from each other since the beginning of their establishment, not only in terms of reputation, but also in property, decision-making, personnel decisions, etc. From this aspect, each of the five clans is different from the other families outside. no difference.At most, the five clans are married to each other, and their relationship is much closer than that of other families and forces.

No matter whether it is going out to practice or encounter any difficulties, the other companies will try their best to help.

But no matter how good the relationship is, these are still five independent families. Why are they suddenly merging into one now?

"Old Ancestor, it's like this..."

Immediately afterwards, Chen Wanzhou and his fourth uncle Chen Cuncheng cooperated and expressed all their original considerations.

"To deal with the island crisis 200 years from now?"

When Master Yongxuan heard this, he was taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly said: "Yes, our Chen clan has been established for more than 300 years, and it is time to consider that issue. It is also good to merge into one, so that we can cultivate golden cores as much as possible." Monk."

There is no way, they have regulations in Canglan Sea. Only Jindan monks can completely occupy an island and use it as a family residence.

And if the strength is not up to standard, then naturally it can only be shared with other families and forces.

Unless someone went to the Heavenly Demon Battlefield to make meritorious service, then the territory could be preserved.

But even so, it's not safe.

Because the time period for which meritorious deeds can be redeemed is limited, and the golden elixir monks will also end their lives.Therefore, if you want to maintain the family territory for a long time, you can only continuously cultivate geniuses. Only through the efforts of generations can you create eternal glory.

Otherwise, the decline of the family may happen overnight.

Thinking about this clearly, Daoist Yongxuan has no objections.

For him, the five clans are actually his home, the only difference is that he was born on Lianhu Island.

You must know that in the early generations, because there were only a few people in each family, the five families basically lived together.It was only because there were more people later and we were no longer so lonely that we separated.

At this time, Chen Wanzhou said again:

"Actually, there is another reason.

You should be able to see the achievements of Qingxuan, the ancestor. To be honest, it is not that the grandson is underestimating himself. The grandson thinks that Qingxuan alone can bring our Chen family to the level of the six major forces in Qiansha Islands. "

Hearing this, Master Yongxu glanced at Chen Qingxuan, who was confused, and nodded silently.

He was too aware of the power of the Perfection Realm's spells.

In the future, when his grandson's cultivation reached its peak and he became a complete foundation, then even if he was still no match for Jindan, it would not be a problem for him to sustain dozens of moves in the hands of ordinary Jindan. .

That level of combat power, if you add the monks of Lianhu Island behind him, it would be a little underestimated to say that he can match the six major forces.

Chen Yongxu even estimated that the six major forces might not be able to defeat him when the time comes.

At this time, Chen Wanzhou continued: "It's a good thing to say, but the ancestor should also know that our Lianhu Island and the other four cousins ​​are married for generations. Your daughter married into my family, and my nephew married into your family. , Come and go like this for hundreds of years, we have been inseparable.

You said that when Qingxuan gets up, let's give them a hand, which seems reasonable and reasonable.

But how much is appropriate?
If there are too many, our tribe will not want to; if there are too few.There is no need for them to continue to follow us.If the four of them don't play with us at that time, what shall we do?
What about our in-laws who are married and have children?
Let's not separate, the relationship between the five families is not good, and there will definitely be troubles when they are together again; but after they are separated, what will the children do?What about the marriage of the clansmen?
Let’s look for married families again, there’s a mixed bag of good and bad, and trust is a problem.

There are even many, many problems in this, so after comprehensive consideration, Sun Er decided to combine the five clans first, as long as things are done in a fair and merit-based manner, then the above should not be a problem. "

Hearing this, Old Ancestor Chen immediately understood what his nephew's concerns were.

That is stability.

How to let the family continue stably in this world of cultivation, or even continue forever, is the main concern of Patriarch Chen.

Otherwise, he would directly ignore the other four families, or even recruit a son-in-law and a daughter-in-law directly from the outside, and he would soon be able to double the number of monks in the family. (One person can have several)
But in this way, the atmosphere of unity and love in the family may be gone.

Once this happens, if Chen Qingxuan, the proud man of heaven, follows his example, abandons the burden of his family, and goes out independently with his wife, children, and children, then the Chen family will be in trouble.

Thinking of this, Old Ancestor Chen couldn't help nodding:
"Sure! What you said is reasonable and well-founded. I don't have any objections, ancestor! But as you said, only by 'doing things fairly and acting on merit' can we completely eliminate hidden dangers. You have to pay attention to that!"

"Don't worry, Patriarch! My grandson will definitely do my best and never slack off. Fourth Uncle, Changge, Qingxuan, and all other clan members are also invited to supervise together. Let's strengthen our Five Elements Island together, so that the name of Five Elements will resound throughout the stars! "

"Strengthen the five elements and become famous in the stars!"

"Strengthen the five elements and become famous in the stars!"

"Strengthen the five elements and become famous in the stars!"

For a time, all the clansmen present were enthusiastic and shouted loudly.

At this moment, they seem to have seen that their five clans are standing at the top of the cultivation world, worshiped by countless people.Just like the Huashenxu family who opened up the sea of ​​water with his own power, everyone has no shortage of pills, no shortage of magic weapons and formulas, and everyone can live five hundred years.

At noon that day, after all the clan members from Lianhu Island and Patriarch Chen had a reunion dinner, they dispersed and returned to their respective posts.

And Qingxuan and Qingyu brought Old Ancestor Chen to the ordinary city at the foot of the mountain—Jingnan City.

"This is our Jingnan City?"

As soon as he entered Jingnan City, Old Ancestor Chen was stunned.

Is this still the ordinary small town he knew?

I remember that more than 50 years ago, he took his granddaughter to play in Jingnan City.

Although Jingnan City at that time was much better than the ordinary small cities in the outside world, it was nothing more than that.However, the affiliated cities of their Wusheng Sword Sect can't even compare to the prefectures and king cities of those ordinary small countries.

At least there are very few low-lying mud walls in other counties that are prone to insects and moisture.

But now, what did he see?
The wide and tidy Qingshi Street;
Rows of small wooden buildings in neat and orderly rows;

In the small courtyard in front of the wooden building, there are rockeries, gazebos, ponds, and lotus flowers;

Even the sides of the road outside the door are filled with fruit trees and flowering trees of different varieties;
This is not the end, the key is the confident and rosy expressions of the passers-by on the street, which shocked Old Ancestor Chen even more.

Although these clansmen had a good life before, they were just not bad. They were not as skinny as the people at the bottom of the outside world.

But now it's only been a few decades, and this place has caught up with their Wusheng Sword Sect.

In terms of spirit, it even surpassed that.

At least in the affiliated cities of the Wusheng Sword Sect, although everyone can eat enough, the pedestrians walk in a hurry and carefully, for fear of offending some troublesome people with backgrounds.

But here, the pedestrians not only talk freely, recite poems and match each other, but also get along very harmoniously. They know how to be courteous to pedestrians and wooden carts.

Old Ancestor Chen even saw that a box on a carriage was not loaded properly and fell off. Then pedestrians rushed over and five or six big men came forward to help.

Such a harmonious scene, Chen Yongxu would believe it if you said it was the legendary sage who ruled the world, but he knew in his heart that this was just a small family that could only build a foundation to sit in control.

Even if he, Chen Yongxu, also came from this family, it is undeniable.More importantly, he didn't think that a legendary sage could really appear in his family.

Regarding this, Chen Qingxuan chuckled lightly:
“It is said that if one has a solid warehouse, he will know etiquette; if he has enough food and clothing, he will know honor and disgrace.

Today, the people of the tribe have no shortage of food and clothing, no worries about work, promising future, no worries about their small families, naturally radiant and full of energy. "

Having said that, he paused slightly, glanced at the clean streets around him, and continued: "As for why no one does those morally corrupt things, it's naturally because we still have corresponding checks and balances."

"Means of counterbalancing?"

"Well! If someone spits and urinates everywhere, then let him sweep the streets for free. If someone makes trouble and curses randomly, then let him poop...

If you do not correct after repeated admonitions, and repeat the offenses after repeated admonitions, then you will be punished severely and doubled directly.

Ten days for the first time, 20 days for the second time, forty days for the third time...

In this case, unless he puts it down and lies down with peace of mind, he can usually be corrected. "

"This……"

Chen Yongxu was stunned.

When he heard what was said before, he thought it was because the clansmen were living in affluence, that's why they were like this, but he didn't expect that his grandson would make a big move for himself later.

Direct punishment and unpaid labor.

There are also jobs such as sweeping the streets, defecating, emptying urinals, and picking up garbage.

To be honest, most people really can't bear it.

Not to mention that Jingnan City is so big, with a population of only 1, and everyone can't look up and look down. If they run into some acquaintances during the process of being punished, Chen Yongxu can't imagine the scene.

If you can stay for an extra quarter of an hour, that person will be considered a great person!

But, can the morality of everyone be raised to such a level?

Just when Chen Yongxu was silently meditating, he saw Chen Fugen beside him suddenly interjecting: "The words of the little immortal master are wrong. This is obviously because our Chen family has good spiritual veins and good Feng Shui, so we have been born." Polite tribesmen have nothing to do with unpaid labor.”

Hearing this, Chen Qingxuan turned his head to look, but saw a familiar face, he immediately smiled in his heart, and said jokingly: "Chen Fugen, I remember that in the first month of labor reform, you just swept the streets for a month, right? Have you forgotten about it soon?”

"Of course I didn't forget!"

After hearing this, Chen Fugen's face turned slightly red, and then returned to normal, "But this has nothing to do with unpaid labor. These are just ordinary people. I suddenly felt the dragon vein of our Chen family and was influenced by it, so I suddenly woke up. From now on, I should change my ways and be a new person. It really has nothing to do with reform through labor!
Last month, the tutelary mansion even gave Xiaomin a certificate of moral excellence. "

As he spoke, he slightly raised his head, as if he felt that it was a great thing to get the "moral model" award.

And sure enough, upon hearing the words "moral model", the surrounding pedestrians immediately looked at him with surprise in their eyes.

Seeing this, Chen Qingxuan smiled again, "Okay, okay! If you want to show off later, just wear the certificate on your chest, so that everyone can see it clearly."

"That's inappropriate! It's too ostentatious! It doesn't fit my 'moral role model' personality!"

Chen Fugen shook his head and smiled.

"Okay, okay, don't play tricks, your work in the paper mill is okay, right? Are there any difficulties? If you have any difficulties, please report directly to the administrative department, and they will handle it for you."

"No, no! Xiaomin is living a good life there. The owner and workers of the paper mill are also very kind to Xiaomin."

Before, after the construction of Jingnan City came to an end, as a construction worker who followed odd jobs, Chen Fugen had been a street stalker for a long time.Fortunately, the administration department found him a job, otherwise he would still be sweeping the streets for free.

As for why you want to set that set of moral standards?
Naturally, new neighborhoods must have new standards.

Otherwise, it would be inappropriate for a lump of disgusting phlegm to suddenly appear on the cleaned street.

Having no worries about food and clothing, full of hope, coupled with corresponding punishments and rewards, such a two-pronged approach, there is no fear of anyone not complying.

Thinking about the previous situation, Chen Qingxuan nodded affirmatively.

"As long as it's good, that's all! Work hard, and then find a matchmaker to help you find a matchmaker, marry a wife, and have a child. The family will be happy and happy. Don't just idle around all day long. It's not like a real person."

"The little immortal master is right. I still have something to do, so I'll leave first without disturbing you!"

After finishing speaking, as if he was afraid that Chen Qingxuan would continue to speak, Chen Fugen ran into the crowd in a flash, and walked away with his companions laughing.

Chen Yongxu recognized that those people were actually the kind-hearted people who helped carry the boxes just now.

Seeing this, he sighed: No wonder he can be evaluated as a "moral model".

But this "moral model"?
Chen Qingyu explained: "Grandfather Tianzu, my second brother said that punishment is not enough, and corresponding rewards are needed to better regulate the words and deeds of the tribe. So there is this evaluation of a moral model.

Basically, our Chen family holds a moral model selection event every year, each street selects by itself, and writes the corresponding selection reasons, and then the administrative department uniformly checks to ensure that there is no falsification.

During the process, if anyone has objections, they can also report directly, and the administrative department will check and deal with it on the spot. "

"Then is there any other use for this moral model? For example, what privileges can it enjoy?"

"No! It's an honor!"

"No?"

Chen Yongxu was stunned. "Then what is the purpose of all your troubles?"

He couldn't figure it out.

Although the system mentioned by the two grandsons just now sounds simple, Chen Yongxu knows that it must consume a huge amount of manpower and material resources.

Apart from other things, just the brand-new streets and buildings in front of me cannot be completed overnight.

Seeing this, Qingxuan and Sixth Sister looked at each other and smiled, and then led Old Ancestor Chen towards the center of the city.

"Grandpa Tianzu, please come this way! We will show you and you will know!"

On the way, they also passed many places with different functions.

Medical centers, libraries, canteens, drama theaters, schools, and even a nursing home for infants and young children that Chen Laozu had never heard of.

It's just that the more he looked at it, the more puzzled Chen Laozu felt.

Especially when he knew that the mortals in the clan didn't need to farm, and all the work was done by the cultivators, he frowned even more.

After spending so much effort and energy, what is the Chen family going to do?
It can't be kept for nothing!
Just like what Sun Qingxuan said, are all the cultivators of the Chen family saints?
Whether he is a saint or not, Ancestor Chen from the Chen family knows best.

He didn't think that his juniors suddenly had such a high level of awareness.

To be honest, it's better to believe that Chen Yongxu can suddenly realize Taoism and ascend to immortality.

Along the way, several people stopped and went, and soon came to a courtyard with a very large area.

In the courtyard, there are dense pavilions and lofts, and the environment is very elegant.

"Grandpa Tianzu, please!"

Since this is a family, Chen Yongxu didn't scan with his divine sense in advance, but walked in.

But as soon as he entered, he was shocked.

Not because the corridor inside was filled with bustling people, and he found that he couldn't understand what the other party said.

Of course, it’s not that I can’t understand it at all, but I can only understand part of it.

Like this one:
"Your calculation of the parabola is too inaccurate. The angle of this formation node should be about 42 degrees. Yours is already 58 degrees. If you act like this, this [Spirit Gathering Formation] will have to be rebuilt in less than three years. Change the material."

"I'll do it again! I'll do it again!"

Hearing words such as [Juling Formation], formation nodes, and angles, Old Ancestor Chen is not too unfamiliar. After all, he is a Jindan real person. noun, but this "parabola"...

what is this?
How has he never heard of it?
And the one below made him even more confused.

"It has been said that the spiritual power of the phantom formation must be elliptical, or hyperbola, spiral and other irregular equations. You use a perfect circle because you are afraid that others will not guess where your formation nodes are? Redesign!"

"Uh, Master, [Various Wood Illusion Formation] is only used within the family, so don't be so strict!"

"No need! Do it if you want, don't babble! Don't even think about it, what should we do if the phantom formation outside is broken? At that time, we still have to rely on the spirit vein formation inside To ward off the enemy.”

"How could the illusory formation outside be broken?"

……

The following words have been ignored by Chen Laozu. At this moment, his mind is full of words such as "ellipse", "hyperbola", and "spiral".

Some of these he had indeed heard, but some he had never heard of.

Just like that spiral line, this one can also design formations, why doesn't he know.

Regarding this, Chen Qingxuan didn't say a word, but directly led Old Ancestor Chen to the most central palace, took out a book from it, and handed it to Old Ancestor Chen.

"A Concise Course in Basic Arithmetic?"
