Chapter 206: Four Families Reunited
Qin Ye, Lin and Xue's family set off quite smoothly, and the embarrassing situation that Master Kang had expected did not occur.
There was no need for Kang Dabao to come in person. Only Pei Yi and He Yuanbing came. The head of the Xue family, Xue Hu, just smiled bitterly for a long time, and without saying a single harsh word, he nodded and agreed to the relocation.
Some time ago, just a look from Nanny Sun was enough to terrify several of his family's elders and backbones so much that they are still unable to enter into meditation.
Now that Sect Leader Kang, who had the backing of the Black-Shoe Taoist, had asked Xue Hu to move his family to another place, even though he knew there was a treasure in the deep pool nearby, how could Xue Hu have the courage to refuse?
What's more, Kang Dabao was as kind as ever and picked a nice place for his family, which was Songlinjian, the former base of the Iron Sword Sect.
After Xie Fu killed Ren Xiong, the sacred land was taken back by the Pingrong County Government. Originally, Zhai An, who came from Baisha County to be the county lieutenant of Pingrong County, lived here with some of the Zhai clan members.
After Zhai An was assassinated, this pretty good spiritual land was ownerless for a while. After Tie Xishan left, Luo Heng had some freedom to manage the place, and he had been letting the Luo family of Heilinbao run it for personal gain.
The Luo family has taken good care of the spiritual land of Tiejianmen. Two years ago, they even invited an entry-level geomancer to tidy it up for some time. It is said that within three to four years, a first-grade lower-level spiritual vein can be restored.
The Luo family also has a skilled farmer of their own, and they have opened up several acres of spiritual fields. Objectively speaking, this is much better than the Qinye Forest of the Xue family.
As for whether the Luo family is willing to give it up? County Magistrate Kang thinks that County Master Luo will be willing to do so. Otherwise, County Magistrate Kang will be unhappy and the latter will have to go back to be a breeding pig.
The Tanggu Huo family is no longer a good backer. Not to mention that Huo Bing, who has only a few years left to live, has the energy to stand up for Luo Heng. Even if he really comes, he cannot scare the head of the Kang family who has the support of the Black Shoe Taoist behind him.
In Pingrong County today, to be frank, there is almost only one sun, Master Kang.
The fact turned out to be just as Master Kang had expected, and he did not need to show up in person. After Jiang Qing took the time to go to Black Forest Castle, the Luo family "willingly" gave up the spiritual land. They did not even dare to have the slightest intention of destroying the spiritual fields and spiritual veins that they had worked so hard to cultivate.
The Xue family began to arrange the move in full swing. In fact, his family had never had any property, so it was very efficient for the cultivators to move. They just needed to take away things worth spirit stones in storage bags.
But it would be a huge project to move the hundreds of thousands of mortals under its jurisdiction to the sacred land of Tiejianmen.
Chongming City, the Yokoyama No family, and the Fangshishan Lu family all sent out mortal leaders to build some post stations and clinics along the way. Kang Dabao did not rush them, and bluntly said that the mortal migration could be completed within a year. Even Duan Anle was sent by the head of Kang Da to drive a mixed-blood pack animal cart to help the Xue family transport mortals.
But even so, after completing this journey of nearly a thousand miles, I wonder how many ordinary people will be separated from their wives and children, and their families will be destroyed.
If less than 10% of the people died on the road, it would be considered that the Xue family cultivators had executed the task effectively.
However, the Xue family cultivators headed by Xue Hu did not seem to care much about the lives of the Xue family mortals, which led to a large number of mortals choosing to stay in the mortal cities of Chongming Sect and Ye Family and settle down during their migration.
Master Kang Da would naturally not object to this, and he even asked Kang Dahou to build many shelters. Although the Xue family monks were not very happy, they did not dare to get angry with Chong Mingzong and others, so they could only urge the mortals to relocate.
This resulted in more and more mortals fleeing along the way, especially those with smaller surnames among the Xue family. They were second-class people in the Xue family's territory and could make a living anywhere else. Seeing that the Xue family cultivators did not dare to stop them, almost all of them stayed and settled down near Chongming City.
Zhou Yixiu, who was in charge of helping with the transfer of personnel, was very happy to see this. He was a good accountant and could figure it out after just a few days of watching.
Because of the Xue family's migration, Chongming Sect might be able to retain 20,000 to 30,000 mortals, which would be a great help to Chongming City, which has a relatively sparse population.
Mortals are the foundation of cultivators. When the number of mortals increases, there will be more immortal seedlings and the sect will be prosperous. This is a simple truth that every cultivator with a little vision knows.
Of course, Lu Xun, the head of the Lu family, also knew this truth. He stood on the edge of a cliff with several backbone members of the Lu family, looking at the busy and crowded convoy of the Xue family below the cliff, with a look of deep thought.
In the past few years, he has seen the Chongming Sect become more and more prosperous. If he had ever wanted to compete with Kang Dabao before, now he has completely given up on that idea.
"It would be great if my little sister was prettier!" Lu Xun glanced at Lu Yunniang beside him and sighed. He didn't dare to think about Jiang Qing and Ye Zhengwen, but he didn't expect that Zhou Yixiu was almost 80 years old, why would he still want to find a pretty little sister? !
Marry a virtuous wife! My little sister is so good, she can raise spirit bees, fight, and her cultivation is higher than that of Zhou Yixiu, what's wrong with her? ! It's nothing more than that she looks...
The more Lu Xun thought about it, the angrier he became. However, he thought that in just a few short years, among the three families close to Chongming Sect, only an orphan and an orphan girl were left in the Ye family, both of whom were accepted as disciples of Chongming Sect, and the Hengshan Ye family was also under the care of Chongming Sect; and the Xue family was forced to relocate as a whole family, without even being able to keep a bamboo house.
Then, under the nose of Emperor Chongming, the only neighbor was the Lu family of Fangshishan.
"Can we live peacefully as neighbors with the Chongming Sect?" Lu Xun thought about it and then smiled bitterly. Even if Kang Dabao said this to him in person, he would not believe it.
How nice it would be if the four territories could be connected into one. The current Chongming Sect is already worthy of it. By then, he would only have to say to Lu Xun lightly: "How can I allow others to sleep peacefully on my bed?" Would the head of the Lu family still have the courage to not leave?
"Brother." The second patriarch, Lu Zhen, looked at Lu Xun with a worried look on his face. "Kang Dabao's fellow disciples are kind and honest. I don't think they will do anything extreme. Don't worry too much."
Lu Zhen had always had a good impression of Chongming Sect since he, Kang Dabao, Jiang Qing and others rescued the Hengshan Ye family and received a large amount of compensation. Thanks to that amount of spiritual stones, his cultivation has been much smoother in the past few years. He was more or less grateful to the head of the Kang family.
"Well, Kang Dabao is indeed not a cruel person, but this day will come sooner or later, so it is better to make plans early." Lu Xun looked at Lu Zhen for a long time before speaking.
Kang Dabao is so good at winning people's hearts that even his brothers who grew up with him cannot stand to hear a bad word from him, which is really sad.
"Forget it, I can't beat him after all." Lu Xun thought to himself, with a hint of sadness in his eyes.
Thinking back to when the old leader of the Chongming Sect passed away, Lu Xun and Xue Hu had naturally gone to pay their respects, and they could see ambition in each other's eyes.
Lu Xun was sure that Xue Hu had dreamed of annexing the Chongming Sect, a once great foundation-building sect, just like himself. However, dreams are just dreams after all.
"Brother, you don't want the Fangshi Mountain anymore. It would be a good idea to offer it to Emperor Chongming now." Lu Yunniang, who had been standing next to Lu Xun and had not spoken for a long time, suddenly spoke.
If it doesn't make a sound, it's a blockbuster.
Lu Yunniang's words made all the Lu family members present blush, including some of Lu Yunniang's uncles and elders, who immediately cursed loudly.
"The place where our ancestors rest is, you just say you don't want it?!"
"How can a junior like you be allowed to interfere in the clan's important affairs?!"
"Short-sighted and womanly!"
After hearing these words, Lu Yunniang's expression was unusually calm. The spiritual power of the sixth level of Qi training suppressed these clan elders who were talking nonsense one by one. In just a moment, they were silenced and unable to speak.
Their brains quickly cooled down under the pressure of this spiritual power.
At this time, they remembered that although Lu Yunniang was only in the middle stage of Qi training, she was recognized by Jiang Qing as the best fighter among the Lu family. In this respect, even Lu Xun, the head of the Lu family, could not compare with her. At this time, Lu Xun was the only one with a calm expression like Lu Yunniang. Even Lu Zhen, the second head of the family, might have the same idea in his mind, but when he suddenly heard Lu Yunniang's words so easily, his face turned red and he was speechless for a while.
Only Lu Xun, upon hearing this, looked at his younger sister seriously for a while, as if he had just met her for the first day.
"Yunniang, please speak up. We are all family here, so there is nothing you can't say." Lu Xun grinned, which eased the depressing atmosphere a lot.
"Brother, you should know that the current Chongming Sect is almost as prosperous as when Master He was running it. Kang Dabao is a great leader. Now he has the favor of the Fei family and the support of the Black Shoe Taoist. His cultivation has made great progress. Given time, he may even be able to build a foundation.
Among his junior brothers Jiang Qing, Pei Yi, Ye Zhengwen, Yuan Jin, and Zhou Yixiu, which one is mediocre? My brother wanted to take me to discuss marriage, but it didn't happen. "
Hearing Lu Yunniang talking about this, Lu Xun's old face turned red, but he saw that Lu Yunniang still looked normal, as if what she was talking about had nothing to do with her, and continued:
"This has put the relationship between our two families at a bottleneck, and we can't go any further. My brother can still act neither humble nor arrogant in front of Kang Dabao, relying on the friendship between him and Chong Mingzong and the long-term neighborly relationship, but what about the future?
In my humble opinion, it would be better to offer my family's sacred land at this time. It is true that Kang Dabao is a stingy person on weekdays, but he still has some broad-mindedness when it comes to major issues.
Whether we sell the sacred land to Chongming Sect at a discount in exchange for some food, or ask Chongming Sect to give us another sacred land that is suitable for us, it is not necessarily a bad thing. "
Lu Xun listened carefully to Lu Yunniang's words and felt that every word made sense, as if it touched his heart.
As the head of the family, there are some things that he cannot say directly even if he understands them clearly.
However, Lu Xun was a little surprised that Lu Yunniang, who was usually taciturn, could have such insight.
Now he suddenly felt somewhat fortunate that he had not been able to marry her off.
The Lu family members around them all fell silent. It was not easy to make the decision to leave their hometown, and they needed to think it over carefully.
In the blink of an eye, another ten days passed. Ping'er came to Chongming Sect as usual, bringing Kang Dabao a meal with the crystal snow pork elbow cooked by the chef of Qinghan Courtyard.
I don't know what's wrong with my young lady these days. I don't know how she got the news that Master Kang likes to eat pork elbows. Since then, there have been many pig-type monsters in the Jackdaw Mountains these days. Every day, three or five cultivators in the middle and late stages of Qi training come into the mountains to cause trouble for them.
Ping'er comes over every few days to deliver meals to Master Kang. The disciples know that she is the master's wife's chambermaid, so they won't stop her.
The little girl was good-looking and smart. The girls and boys of Chongming Emperor got along quite well with her.
When she came in that day, Zhang Yue, who was on duty at the magic circle, came to greet her. Although she was a bit cold, she smiled when she saw Ping'er: "Ping'er, you are here."
"Here it is, there is a crystal snow pork elbow in the lunch box. I thought it was your turn today, so I specially separated a small plate for you before packing it. You can try it too."
"The head master hasn't eaten yet, what should I do?"
"Okay, okay, then you can take it back and eat it, and give some to Sister Mo'er."
Ping'er said goodbye to Zhang Le, walked past the gate, and went to the courtyard of Master Kangda, but was told by Yuan Changsheng, who was waiting there to listen to teachings, that Master Kangda was discussing matters in the reception hall.
Yuan Changsheng grew up in this mountain gate since he was a child, and there was almost no place he could not go. He took Ping'er and jumped over the magic circle and came to the outside of the reception hall.
Then he saw Kang Dabao sitting high on the throne of the head sect leader, and he was quite surprised when he heard what Lu Xun said.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, are you saying that you want to give your Fangshi Mountain to me?" Sect Leader Kang rubbed his fingers and repeated what Lu Xun said.
"Reporting to Master Kang, I came here for this matter." Lu Xun said calmly. Some things are there, no matter whether you can figure it out or not, you have to do it.
Since Lu Yunniang's proposal is meaningful, Lu Xun, as the head of the family, should have the courage to make a decision.
Kang Dabao was as smart as ever. It was just that Lu Xun's words came too suddenly before, which made him unable to understand what was going on. But after listening to Lu Xun's words and thinking about it a little, it was not difficult for him to guess why Lu Xun was like that.
God have mercy on him. After gaining power over the years, although Master Kang had bullied the young widow and the Luo family of Heilinbao, he had no intention of touching the Lu family's spiritual land.
At best, he is just a local rich man now, and is far from being as domineering as the Southern Tyrant.
But since the Lu family offered the sacred land so proactively, Master Kang was still somewhat happy.
"From now on, all the spiritual lands of the three nearby families will be incorporated into the sect. This is something that has never been done since the fourth generation of ancestors! The ancestor of revival, the real ancestor of revival!"
Kang Dabao was already somewhat excited, and secretly thought in his heart: "If I fail to build a foundation in the future and die early, then I will ask Xiao Sanzi to make a bigger statue for me, at least bigger than the old man, and put it next to him!"
"Daoyou Lu is thoughtful. I will remember this favor." Kang Dabao took the map presented by Lu Xun, carefully put it away, and then said: "The spiritual land of the Caishi Wang family covers a large area, and there is a first-class middle-grade spiritual vein, which is much better than the Fangshi Mountain.
Originally, the Liu family, the relatives of the Pingrong Tie family, had lived there peacefully, but there were often monsters in that place, and his family was small, so they couldn't defend such a large place. Tie County Master wrote to me some time ago, asking me to find a helper for his family. If Fellow Daoist Lu is interested, I think that would be a good place to go."
Lu Xun could naturally hear the humble words from Master Kang's mouth. What do you mean it's not much worse than Fangshi Mountain? That's a first-class mid-grade spiritual vein, and not many families in Pingrong County have it after the chaos!
As for the Liu family's inability to defend such a large area, it was most likely an excuse for Kang Dabao to negotiate with Tie Xishan.
Most of the members of the Pingrong Tie family followed Tie Xishan and went to work in various counties of Yunjiaozhou with Tie Liuyun.
If we count carefully, the people left in Pingrong County, the ancestral land, are the least. There is no reason for the emperor to take all the benefits of Pingrong County as before. Some of them must be given to Chongmingzong, the local tyrant.
Lu Xun figured out the point and agreed immediately.
At the same time, he also thought that Kang Dabao was really as his younger sister said, he had a broad mind when it came to big things, and the move of offering Fang Shishan as a gift was really the right one!
"Alas, I should have married my little sister back then!"
