Qinghe Immortal Clan.

Chapter 90 Replacement of old and new

Seeing that Song Qingze was a little discouraged by his words, Song Qingshi quickly spoke to comfort him.

"Qingze, don't be too discouraged. Qing Ming and I came to see you off. The clan leader specifically told us that the great elder just left. Everyone is very sad. You have to understand."

After listening, Song Qingze nodded thoughtfully, with a look of relief on his face.

The eldest brother Song Qingshi is the most kind-hearted among the younger generation monks. He has a good relationship with every Qing generation monk on the mountain, including Song Qingze.

Originally, the old patriarch wanted Song Qingming to see him off alone, but Song Qingming and Song Qingze hadn't talked much since they were young, and the relationship between the two had always been ordinary, so he roped in Song Qingshi and came here together.

The three of them walked and chatted all the way until Song Qingze was sent to a dozen miles outside Funiu Mountain before they stopped.

Song Qingze bent over and cupped his hands in front of the two of them and said, "Qing Ming, brother, please come here. Thank you for coming to see me off. Don't forget to say hello to the old patriarch for me when you go back."

"Third brother, outside is not as good as at home. You have to take care of yourself. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, don't forget to send a letter home. Although our brothers are of low cultivation and can't be of much help, we can still be of great help. Let me help you."

Song Qingze looked at the two of them with red eyes, lowered his head and said, "Brother, you should also take care of yourselves. If I have the chance, I will definitely come back to see you."

“The mountains are high and the road is far, see you later.”.
After bidding farewell to the two of them, Song Qingze strode forward, used his magic technique, and soon disappeared from the eyes of the two.

After joining Xiaoyao Sect, Song Qingze became outstanding because of his talent. He was soon accepted as a closed disciple by a foundation-building monk in the sect. He has lived quite well in Xiaoyao Sect in the past few years, and his cultivation has reached the eighth level of Qi refining. It is estimated that in another five or six years, he will be able to It’s time to prepare for foundation building. I want to go back to Funiu Mountain again, but I don’t know when it will be.

Every thirty years or so, the Song family will have a quota for an inner disciple of the Xiaoyao Sect. However, the spiritual root qualifications required to go to the Xiaoyao Sect are at least three spiritual roots. This time, the family was originally going to send Qingyu to the Xiaoyao Sect. Because Song Qingze took the initiative to ask for the clan leader, he was finally replaced.

Song Qingze went to Xiaoyao Sect, so he was considered a member of Xiaoyao Sect. Unless there was a mission on weekdays, disciples in the Qi Refining Stage could not leave the sect at will. If they wanted to come back, they had to ask for leave from the sect.

In addition to him, the Song family also has an elder monk who was sent to Xiaoyao Sect by the family decades ago. However, this uncle's talent is average. Although his cultivation has reached the late stage of Qi refining, he is too old. , there is a high probability that there will be no way to build a foundation in this life.

Although the inner disciples like them are treated relatively well after entering Xiaoyao Sect, unlike ordinary outer disciples, they have to complete a lot of sect chores every day before they have some time for their own cultivation.

The reason why a cultivating family like the Song family would send people with outstanding spiritual roots to the Xiaoyao Sect is because in the Xiaoyao Sect, people like them have a greater chance of building a foundation. The main reason why Song Qingze chose to join the Xiaoyao Sect It was also for a Foundation Building Pill that was beyond the reach of low-level monks like them.

Once a monk in the clan successfully establishes a foundation in the Xiaoyao Sect, the family will have a bridge to talk to within the Xiaoyao Sect in the future, and it will be easier to obtain resources from the Xiaoyao Sect to support the family.

The four major foundation-building families in Qinghe County all have foundation-building monks in the Xiaoyao sect. The Guanghuang family has two foundation-building monks in the Xiaoyao sect. His ancestors also had a golden elixir monk in the Xiaoyao sect. The relationship within the sect is far superior to that of other sects. Every few decades, you can exchange a foundation-building pill from Xiaoyao sect.

It is precisely because of the strong backers in the Xiaoyao Sect that the Huang family has been able to dominate Qinghe County for thousands of years.

After seeing off his third brother Song Qingze, Song Qingming returned to Funiu Mountain and went directly to the back mountain, preparing to say goodbye to the clan leader and return to Qinghefang.

After sending a message outside, Song Qingming quickly received permission to enter the clan leader's cave. The old patriarch was sitting on a wicker chair with a kind face, and there was a seven or eight-year-old boy standing next to him respectfully.

Song Gushan has practiced Taoism for hundreds of years. He has always been an ascetic monk who has devoted himself to Taoism. He has not married, had children or left any descendants, and all his direct relatives have long since turned into a handful of loess.

After monks enter Taoism, in order to devote themselves to cultivation, most people generally do not choose to start a family. Only some monks like Fourth Uncle who have spiritual roots, have no hope of a path, and do not like cultivation will choose to marry early, have children, and enjoy the life of a monk. There are not many such monks in the world of immortality, a life that mortals yearn for.

Seeing a child with a tiger-like head and a tough brain in the cave of the old patriarch, Song Qingming also had a hint of surprise on his face, and looked at this person with curiosity.

After bowing to the old patriarch, Song Qingming slowly expressed his desire to return to Qinghefang as soon as possible.

Song Gushan heard that he had returned to Qinghefang, and immediately agreed to him. After all, he had been back for half a month, and problems could easily arise if no one in Qinghefang was watching.

After Song Gushan finished speaking, he saw Song Qingming was about to leave, and stretched out his hand to stop him again.

"Qing Ming, this is Xinhu, the great-grandson of the great elder. It was just discovered last month that he has spiritual roots and has been included in the family tree. It happened to be that the great elder was passing away and there were many things at home, so he didn't inform you in time. ." Seeing some confusion on Song Qingming's face, the old patriarch pointed at the child beside him and explained to Song Qingming.

"This child is the great-grandson of the great elder. Could it be..." Although Song Qingming had already thought that he should be the child who had just climbed up the mountain, he really did not guess that he was the direct descendant of the great elder.

Could it be that the great elder called him back in a hurry at that time because of this child? Song Qingming vaguely guessed something that he had not thought about in the past few days.

Seeing Song Qingming looking at him in surprise, the child named Song Xinhu leaned towards the old patriarch with some fear.

"The Great Elder was anxious to find you back, but it was actually for Xin Hu. He wanted to entrust you to take more care of this child, but he didn't expect that he would leave before you arrived."

Seeing that Song Qingming had already thought of the answer, Song Gushan slowly opened his mouth to confirm his suspicion.

"Clan leader, don't worry, Qing Ming knows. We all grew up under the wings of our elders. Without the protection of the great elders and you all these years, I wouldn't be where I am today."

From the time Song Qingming arrived at Funiu Mountain, the Great Elder became his mentor and taught him the way of cultivation step by step. Then it was Song Qingming's turn to lead the next generation of monks. This has been the case for the Song family monks for two hundred years. Passed down from generation to generation.

Song Gushan nodded happily, and then said: "I will take this child with me first. He is also the first monk of the new generation. From now on, the family will still look after you."

The Song family sets up a generation every thirty years or so. Among them, the ancient generation, after the death of the great elder, only three are left. The eldest generation has a total of fourteen monks, not counting the seventh uncle who went to Xiaoyao Sect. , and now there are ten people left.

There are sixteen young monks in Song Qingming's generation. Excluding his third brother Song Qingze, there are fifteen others. Counting Song Xinhu, who has just joined the new generation, the Song family has almost thirty monks in total.
