Old man Feng and old lady Feng gave birth to four children in total, namely Uncle Feng Feng Yuanguang, Second Uncle Feng Feng Yuansi, Sanniang Feng Feng Xuan, and Siniang Feng Feng Rui. Uncle Feng's generation is named Yuan, and everyone of his generation is also named Yuan.
But usually in front of close relatives, the two brothers are also called "big man" and "second man". The two girls are also called Sanniang, or Siniang.
Just like Shen Qinghu at home, we are always called Qing Xiaohu, Xiaohuer, and Xiaoya.
When Qing Xiaohu's grandfather was still alive, he liked to call her Xiaoya. Unfortunately, when Qing Xiaohu was three years old, Grandpa Shen was forced by his family to die with honor.
Although the family was helpless at the time, it would not be wrong to say that Shen Fangxu and other descendants had no resentment.
Feng Siniang is the biological sister of Feng's second uncle and Feng Dalang's biological aunt.
So he is indeed a very serious relative of his own.
However, the Feng family is a serious relative of their own, and the Shen family is even more so. Especially after the rapid rise of the younger uncle Shen Fangxu's family, the Shen family and the Feng family began to get involved with each other.
Originally, everyone's relationship was pretty good, but now it looks like they are both competitive and united.
"Second uncle, do you want to meet our third uncle?" Feng Dalang said. Feng Dalang's name is Feng Mingqu, and he belongs to the Ming generation. All the direct male members of the family have this name.
"Let's meet, everyone is here, how can we really not see each other?" Second Uncle Feng sighed. He had mixed feelings about his brother-in-law.
In fact, he didn't like his two brothers-in-law very much. Ahem, it's true. He disliked not one, but both. Of the two brothers-in-law, Lu Yongzhen appears to be kind, but inside he is deeply scheming and ambitious. Shen Fangxu seems to be upright, but in fact, there is a traitor inside, and he is extremely cunning.
Neither of these guys is a good person. I don’t know why my two beautiful girls married these two.
I don’t know how his father chose his son-in-law. What kind of vision did he have?
(Old man Feng: belching, I always feel like someone is talking about me from afar.)
…
Lu Yongzhen strode in with his two sons and a girl. When I suddenly met Uncle Feng, I was stunned.
This face has actually changed greatly. Uncle Feng, who originally looked like a middle-aged man, suddenly turned into a young man. And he is still in high spirits, no worse than when he was young.
If he hadn't seen Feng Yuansi's appearance when he was young, he would have thought that this was not him.
"you you……"
Seeing Lu Yongzhen's frightened and stunned look, Feng Yuansi subconsciously turned his face silently, and then he smiled as if he suddenly realized something. "I forgot that after I transformed myself into a god's favored one, I also practiced physical training, and I suddenly became much younger. In fact, my parents changed even more. They only became younger.
Qing Xiaohu got a fruit from somewhere. After eating it, she became younger, and she changed from old to middle-aged. My father has practiced physical training and has become younger just like me. "
"Can you completely change your appearance by becoming a God's Favorite and make you younger?" Lu Yongzhen asked in horror.
"What good things are you thinking about?
Didn't you listen to me?
My mother-in-law ate the fruit, and my father and I practiced physical training.
Those of us just practiced physical training after transforming into God's Favored Ones. Exercise improves our physique, allowing us to regain our former youth, and our bodies are gradually returning to their former peak. "Feng Yuansi said.
"This is amazing. You have changed so much. When we first met, I almost lost my temper and screamed." Lu Yongzhen said kindly and intimately.
"Let's sit down and talk slowly." Feng Yuansi asked everyone to sit down. "Hey, our two eldest nephews have grown so big. We haven't seen each other for several years. You have changed so much. In the blink of an eye, you both look like young people. The last time we met, you were still a teenager."
"Second uncle, you have changed so much. If we go out on the street together now, people outside will definitely say, oh, look, how handsome those two brothers are." Jin Zhuan smiled and said good things.
Ah poof, ah hahaha. Brother, this guy really dares to say it. Feng Yuansi laughed. "He is truly one of my top ten nephews. He is the only one who can speak. He also knows how beautiful his uncle is."
Cough, cough, cough, Feng Dalang coughed speechlessly: "You have to be shameless, second uncle."
Uncle Feng gave his eldest nephew an angry look. He was really a nosy eldest nephew.
"By the way, have you endured hardships in Guangyi City?" Second Uncle Feng asked again.
"It's miserable. Our family's city was destroyed, and the whole family ran away. They ran to Guangyi City with great difficulty. Many clan members died on the way, and some branch clan members were lost. Our Lu family originally had more than three thousand monks. More than one million mortals.
Except for more than two thousand monks, there were only more than 60,000 mortals left, and the rest were left behind by the army of evil corpses. "Jin Fu said in tears. It was so miserable.
"The loss is so serious?" Feng Yuansi was horrified.
There are only over a hundred monks in the Feng family, and there are only over 30,000 mortals in the family. When the evil zombies attacked the city, many young men were killed. Finally, we took the young and old on the road to Panlong. There were also deaths and losses along the way, but thanks to the help of several big families, the last ten thousand people came to Panlong.
Such a big loss is quite debilitating.
The last remaining members of the Feng family were almost all old and young, with no fighting ability, and raising them was a waste of food. But the Feng family did not give up on any ordinary people. Therefore, the cohesion of the Feng family has always been strong. Even the ordinary people are very protective of the family.
From this point of view, the old Shen family obviously did not have this cohesion.
After Shen Fangxu planned to build Panlong City, he also received many monks and lay people from the Shen family who were close to him, and some were sent by the ancestor of Jindan. Shen Fangxu gave them good treatment in all aspects, so the mortal Shen family living in Panlong City would subconsciously protect their family.
The main population of Panlong City is the Shen family and the Feng family, accounting for more than 60% of the total population, and 70% are dissatisfied.
Others came from various places to make a living in the Eastern Wasteland, and then stayed in Panlong City, as well as small traders and merchants.
Panlong City had a population of more than 50,000 at its peak. Later, the city was expanded, but the population plummeted.
The main reason is that the Shen family left a large number of people and took many mortals with them. Almost all the people sent by the ancestor of Jindan left during that exodus.
Then a group of loose cultivators left. They feel that evil corpses are rampant and Panlong City cannot control them. So I left.
(A place with a spiritual dojo cannot be saved, so where do you think the human territory can be safer than here?!)
When Panlong City had the smallest population, there were only more than 20,000 people, but now Panlong City is considered one of the safest cities in the Eastern Wasteland. The population slowly increased to more than 40,000 people. Many casual cultivators and trading firms have returned.
The main reason is that the casual cultivators are too flexible. It seems that it is even harder to mix after returning to the inner territory. It is better to stay comfortable in Panlong City. They call their friends and some even bring their families and run back.
Anyway, the land prices in Panlong City have hardly increased.
In order to obtain a large amount of spiritual fields, many casual cultivators went to open up wasteland outside Panlong Mountain.
When we go to open up wasteland outside Panlong Mountain, there are at most a lot of birds and beasts stealing food.
It's not as quiet as Panlong City, and even the bigger bugs can't be seen.
It’s not that they don’t want to come, it’s that they really can’t come in. The underwater world of Panlong is the dojo's territory, and the land is the stone spirit's territory. Don't think that stone spirits don't eat meat.
Shi Ling actually eats everything. As soon as you get close, the stone spirit may suck it, and the blood and essence in the bodies of beasts, big and small, will be converted into a special blood-colored essence and sucked away by the stone spirit.
Therefore, things like stone spirits can be used by gods and evil gods. They are all tool spirits anyway.
"It's so tragic. Grandpa said that the Lu family must cultivate and thrive for at least the next two hundred years. Only by working hard to have children can we possibly be able to recover." Jin Fu said again.
"You have lost too much population. Just relying on natural reproduction for two hundred years is not enough to recover." Uncle Feng said.
Lu Yongzhen sighed after hearing this.
Indeed. He thought so too.
The fertility rate of the human race is not low, but it is not easy for newborns to grow up. Where can people not die from natural and man-made disasters like floods and droughts? This resulted in the family's secular members not growing very fast, let alone the monks.
Moreover, the plummeting population of mortals will also affect the monks of the family. In the future, the lower-level monks of the family are likely to die. Then it affected the birth of high-level monks.
The family will become even weaker.
"Then what should we do?" Jin Fu said with a worried look on his face.
"Let's think of a way, we can't hold on like this, can we?
Make great efforts to encourage fertility. It would be better to have more boys.
Your grandfather's family has grown a lot of water kiwi fruit, and he will ask the men in your clan to buy more from our house later. "Second Uncle Feng said to solicit business for himself.
"Ah? What is this Shui Qi Guo used for?" Jin Fu asked in confusion.
"Cough cough cough." Lu Yongzhen looked at his second brother-in-law speechlessly.
"It's the one who gave birth to a son." Uncle Feng said bluntly, not treating Jin Fu as a child.
Cough cough cough. Jin Fu was stunned when he heard this.
Hahaha, Jin Zhuan laughed directly. "Is there such a strange fruit in this world?"
"Why isn't there?" Second Uncle Feng said, "If I don't have an uncle, how can I let you buy it? I grow it myself, and I won't ask you for high-level ones."
"Second uncle, it seems that the Feng family didn't grow this kind of fruit before, right?" Jin Fu asked in surprise.
"Of course not. After we arrived in Panlong, we didn't know what to do for a living.
The family can't just sit back and have nothing, right?
This is what your little cousin Qinghu did. In addition to growing Mizuchi fruit, our family also breeds the ferocious beast Spinner Turtle. When the spin turtle grows up, you can refine the turtle essence pills. That thing is hugely profitable. "Second Uncle Feng said.
"I know, I know, turtle essence pills, my grandfather once sold one pill for a total of eighteen hundred spirit stones." Jin Zhuan said.
"So expensive? I asked a pharmacy, and they said they would pay for each of the eight hundred spirit stones. Fortunately, I didn't agree to sell them all my future turtle essence pills." Uncle Feng frowned. I thought in my heart that that kid had lied to me.
"Only the turtle essence pills from Bajingshan can be sold at such an expensive price. My old man also had a hard time buying one turtle essence pill. The turtle essence pills refined in other places can be purchased for one hundred spirit stones, which is already very good. The price is up." Lu Yongzhen quickly explained to his second brother-in-law.
Uncle Feng's expression didn't improve either.
"I told him that our Turtle Essence Pills are actually inherited from Bajing Mountain, and the quality is no worse than Bajing Mountain. When he gave me this price, he really planned to deceive me, a profiteer." Uncle Feng said angrily said.
It would be fine if you came from a big force, but you are still a member of the little-known Feng clan. Lu Yongzhen said to himself, "People don't know you, so they don't just trick you every time."
"Many pharmacies and drug dealers are like that. Who doesn't want to make more money? When you have real turtle essence pills, I will help you find a buyer later." Lu Yongzhen thought that he could also expand his network of contacts.
Uncle Feng shook his head directly after hearing this.
"It's not that I can't trust you. It's just that although you are a son of the Lu family, your family doesn't have many connections in the drug store. Maybe everyone will be cheated, why bother? I might as well sell it to Master Zhenji directly.
Ahem, it can't be said to be sold, it should be said to be sacrificed to Maki-sama, and other needed resources can be obtained from her. She has all kinds of spiritual stones, spiritual fruits, spiritual mines, etc. "
"Second uncle, who is Master Zhenji?" Lu Yongzhen asked puzzledly.
"Lord Zhenji, ahem, I can't say this. Anyway, you will know soon." Second Uncle Feng said.
Lu Yongzhen looked at him confused.
"Really." Uncle Feng thought to himself, anyway, you should be willing to transform yourself into one of the gods' favored ones.
This god's favored one has so many conveniences that even those who were a little wary at first were willing to transform themselves later.
"Second uncle, do you know how to make us become God's favored ones?" Lu Yongzhen asked.
Uncle Feng immediately became happy when he heard this. Sure enough, he came up with whatever he wanted. Lu Yongzhen and the others really wanted to transform themselves into God's Favored Ones.
"If you believe in a certain god, you have a high probability of becoming his favored one. Of course, it is also possible that you will only be a believer for the rest of your life. For example, the old man Wu Mei taught his medical skills and has many doctor followers. But I have never heard of it. What kind of person is favored by God?" Second Uncle Feng said. "There are also gods with many gods, and He will let his gods manage the gods' followers of each race."
For example, if their parents gave birth to a Taoist master, they would ask the god-like Lady Zhenji to help take care of them, the favored ones of the human race.
Lady Zhenji not only manages these human beings' favored by gods, but is also responsible for managing the favored by gods of the Demon Eye Dragon Carp clan.
"Then if we believe in the Taoist Master of Immortality, can we transform into God's Favorites like those sergeants in the army?" Lu Yongzhen asked again.
"Have you ever believed in other gods before? If you have believed in other gods, the Taoist Master of Changsheng will not accept you as his favored ones. Even if it is just a general belief, it will not work." Uncle Feng asked.
"No, none of us have ever believed in any gods." Lu Yongzhen said very firmly.
"That's okay. In fact, it's very easy to transform into a God's Favorite. Just go to the altar. After transforming into a God's Favorite, go to the altar and communicate with Maki-sama who is responsible for managing us.
If you want to make a sacrifice or want to exchange your own sacrifice for something, you can come to her. "Second Uncle Feng said.
