This kind of inferior spiritual root can be regarded as something between good and bad!
Tian Shuangzhi was startled when he heard what Elder Tang said. Not only in a large sect, but also in an ordinary practicing family, a child with such inferior spiritual roots would be abandoned by the family. This old guy...
Thinking of this, Tian Shuangzhi suddenly felt a chill in his heart... It seemed that this old man obviously wanted to let this child pass the first election. What he was worried about was definitely not the Qian family's Qi Refining monk and his little relationship with the same sect. It seemed that It's my Tian family's work that has attracted the attention of the Five Spirits Sect. Today, I am using this child to warn my Tian family. It's not good. I need to talk to the head of the family in detail after I go back and restrain myself.
As for the Qian family, one of them has low cultivation and is old and decrepit, while the other has such low qualifications that there is nothing to worry about. Whatever, let the Qian family continue to live on.
With a "pop" sound, Qian Shoulin was already kneeling in front of Old Man Tang.
"Please ask Uncle Tang to make it happen!"
After saying that, Qian Shoulin touched his head to the ground, making a thumping sound.
As soon as he knelt down, Qian Jiangyun knew that things had turned around and knelt down in panic. Then all the Qian family members in the yard knelt down again.
"Get up, everyone. Anyway, for the sake of your service as a teacher, I will help you. This child's qualifications are not very good, but this practice is not all about qualifications. I think he is extremely smart. If you are willing to work hard, well, if you have another chance, you may not be unable to achieve something."
Qian Shoulin could understand what he said. He knew that Uncle Tang was not interested in his child's qualifications at all, but he was still willing to accept him. That had a profound meaning. He understood the meaning. ,only……
Thinking of this, Qian Shoulin raised his head and glanced at Qian Chao, who was still kneeling there.
It's just that this child is afraid that he will suffer some hardships in the future, alas! I can't care about that much now.
Old Man Tang turned to look at Qian Chao and asked:
"Boy, there is one last thing left. I want you to answer me yourself. Are you willing to follow me to my Five Spirits Sect to practice? If you nod, I will take you there. If you don't want to, no one here can force you. Go, think about it yourself, and then tell me after you think about it."
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of all the Qian family members present focused on Qian Chao, especially Qian Shoulin and Qian Jiangyun. They were really afraid that the child would suddenly get a stick in his neck and couldn't say anything. From now on, the Qian family The situation is about to be difficult.
The other Qian family members couldn't tell whether they should feel sorry or lucky when they saw that the child was not chosen. However, they all knew that someone from the Qian family would be better off, so whether they were gloating about the misfortune or full of jealousy, they all looked forward to it. Qian Chao, who was kneeling there, immediately agreed.
Qian Chao lowered his eyelids after hearing what Old Man Tang said, as if he was thinking about it. After a moment, he turned to look at the Qian family members standing in the courtyard.
As he looked, the Qian family members all moved out of the way, until a man and woman who were crying were left there.
Those were Qian Chao's parents.
Mrs. Qian was already weak all over, leaning on her husband weakly, letting her husband support her, full of sadness. She doesn't care what achievements her child will have in the future, and she doesn't want her child to be so smart. What she fully hopes is that it would be better if the child is stupid and stupid from birth. What does the first choice of the Qian family have to do with her! She just wants to guard her child every day, watch him grow up, marry a wife and have children, and then have a bunch of villains around her knees to make her feel hurt and scolded.
But now, my own child has to leave his shelter at such a young age and embark on the illusory fairyland. There are so many children here, why is it his son? Why! She held the handkerchief in her hand, but forgot to wipe it, letting tears well up in her eyes. Qian Qianli supported his wife, thinking a lot in his heart, sometimes excited, sometimes regretful, sometimes sad. In the end, his love for his son took over his whole body, and his eyes were red. Although he never shed tears, his body was shaking slightly. trembling.
When Elder Tang saw this, he felt a little unbearable. He was a successful practitioner and thought he could not break up in love, but seeing the scene of mother and son parting, he still felt a little ups and downs in his heart.
Qian Chao looked at his mother with a sad face and his father full of reluctance, staring intently. He knew what his departure meant.
After watching for a while, Qian Chao suddenly smiled at his parents, then turned around and bowed solemnly to the old man Tang three times, and said crisply: "The boy is willing to follow the immortal master to seek the truth, and I hope the immortal master can guide him."
Upon hearing these words, Qian Shoulin felt reassured.
"Well...you can teach me," Old Man Tang said, holding a pen in his hand and asked, "Tell me your name and age."
"The boy's name is Qian Chao, the tide of tide."
"Um"
After asking something else, Mr. Tang took up a pen and wrote in the book: Qian Chao, male, the 19th generation grandson of Qian Wenyuan, Jin, OK.
The word "shangke" is used to evaluate the Qianchao's qualifications. According to the rules of the spiritual practice world, "shangke" is the lowest qualification, followed in order by "lower-middle", "medium-average", "mid-high", "good", "good" and "excellent", and the best. His qualifications are excellent, but he has not encountered a child with excellent qualifications for many years.
And Qian Chao's qualifications are very reluctant even if they are acceptable.
After Old Man Tang finished writing, he saw the child staring at him intently as he started writing, so he said:
"Go say goodbye to your parents, and then get on the carriage over there. I still have many places to go, so it's not convenient to stay here for a long time."
"Congratulations to the Master of the Qian Family," Tian Shuangzhi said to Qian Shoulin sincerely at this time, and then turned to old man Tang and saluted him and said, "Senior Tang, the first election has been completed here. I would like to invite you to my Tian family to stay for a few days. Let our Tian family fulfill our duty as landlords."
"Is this your kind intention? I understand it. However, there are many things to do this time and it is not convenient for you to stay for a long time. If you bother to tell the head of your family, I will definitely come to ask for mercy if you have free time in the future."
"I can only treat seniors slowly. I hope seniors don't blame me." Tian Shuangzhi also knew that the old man would never go to Tian's house, so he was just making excuses.
Qian Chao stood up and came to his parents. When he came closer, he solemnly lifted the front of his robe and knelt down, kowtowing and said: "My child is unfilial. Let my parents worry about it. This time I go to the fairy mountain to learn Taoism. I will definitely do it." I will work hard and live up to the expectations of my elders. When my children are successful in their studies, they will definitely come back to honor their parents so that they can have both happiness and longevity."
Qian Shoulin and Qian Jiangyun walked towards the family of three. They couldn't bear to hear these words. Especially Qian Shoulin, he suddenly thought of his parents who were extremely reluctant to leave the Qian family when they left. He couldn't help but feel in his heart. Ups and downs.
Mrs. Qian reluctantly stopped her tears, stroked her son's head with her hand and said, "My mother is really reluctant to let you go. She really can't let you go. If she wasn't afraid of delaying her child's future, she would never let you go." Then he covered his face with his hands.
Qian Qianli knelt down, patted Qian Chao's small shoulder and said, "With perseverance and professionalism, I dare say that your intelligence is rare in the world. If you do something wholeheartedly, I dare say that there is no such thing as me in the world." What my son can't do, my father only hopes that you can achieve something as soon as possible and come back to visit your parents. Do you...understand?" At the end of the sentence, his voice was choked with sobs.
Mrs. Qian had already ordered someone to fetch a baggage, which contained everything Qian Chao wore on a daily basis. She handed the baggage to Qian Chao and said, "You are nine years old this year. You will be old enough to get engaged in a few years. My mother also said In the past two years, I should have taken good care of my son and see which family has a good daughter who can match my trendy son, but now it seems that there is no need for it."
When Qian Chao heard this, he raised his head and put his hand on Mrs. Qian's swollen belly. He smiled and said to his mother: "Don't worry, mother, mother will be busy when my brother grows up. My son will marry in the future." Wife, I will definitely bring them back to my mother to take a look at them first. If my mother doesn’t like them, I will bring a few more at a time for you to choose from.”
Mrs. Qian burst into laughter and said angrily: "Nonsense, well, how do you know he is a younger brother? What if he is a younger sister?"
"A younger sister is better. I just want a younger sister. When my younger sister gets married, I will definitely come back to give her a dowry."
Qian Shoulin on the other side not only smiled when he heard these conversations, but also felt deeply that this boy was really smart. Thinking that he had something to explain, he walked over. When the three members of the family saw their ancestor approaching, they immediately saluted.
Qian Shoulin took out a small cloth bag from his arms, which contained several books, and handed it to Qian Chao: "There are two books in it. The red-covered book contains my experience in spiritual practice. You can read it or not. If If your practice is going well, don't look at it. If your practice is dry and tormenting and it's difficult to make any progress, you can take a look. Everyone's practice is different. My method may not be suitable for you. You can learn from it but you can't copy it. Remember. Another thing These are things within the sect and some of my experiences. You can take a look at it. It may not be useful. It is just to expand your knowledge. Although there are three thousand avenues, they lead to the same goal in different ways. If you can master one of the three thousand avenues, you can The benefits are endless, and you must not rely on your own intelligence to seek perfection. Although we are cultivators, we are still human after all. Our manpower is sometimes poor, so remember it. The rest is in the book, you can read it yourself." Qian Chao said again. It is to bow down and give thanks.
At Old Man Tang's signal, Qian Chao kowtowed to his parents a few more times, then boarded the carriage, lifted the curtain, looked back and then entered the carriage.
Old Man Tang nodded to the Qian family, got on the carriage, and left the Prime Minister's Mansion without hesitation. When Tian Shuangzhi saw that the first election of the Qian family was completed, he casually bowed his hands to Qian Shoulin, said congratulations, and then disappeared quietly.
Mrs. Qian and her husband Qian Qianli chased him out of the door. They watched helplessly as the carriage turned the corner of the street and was no longer visible, and then returned with tears and sadness.
The first-class election held once in sixty years ended like this. Qian Jiangyun was quite emotional. He knew that he would never experience it again. He only hoped that the Qian family would have another person next time to continue the glory of the Qian family.
Qian Shoulin was even more relieved. When he returned home this time, he was satisfied that he could pass these two books on to a descendant of the Qian family. He spent the next few years meditating and practicing Qi, thinking only of living a few more years. The rest of the Qian family shed tears when they saw Qian Qianli and his wife returning from the mansion. Although they had their own thoughts, they all stepped forward to comfort them. Several women from the Qian family even cried with Mrs. Qian.
When Qian Shoulin saw this, he couldn't bear it. He wanted to give them some answers, so he walked over again, and Qian Jiangyun followed him. When he saw his ancestors coming, Qian's family gathered around them and saluted. They dispersed, leaving only Qian Qianli and his wife.
There is a small lake in the Qianfu courtyard, in which koi fish swim leisurely among the green water plants.
Qian Shoulin looked at the lake water and said to Qian Qianli and his wife: "Chao'er is not the thing in this pool after all. It is not just the Qian family who accomplished what happened today, but also Chao'er. Not only can you not raise this child, but also It will delay him. Look."
As he spoke, Qian Shoulin looked at the tallest four-story building in the Prime Minister's Mansion. The plaque on it read the words "Guan He Ju". It was unknown which calligraphy was left by an ancestor of the Qian family.
"The scenery of the Prime Minister's Mansion is one of the best in Wangjing. If you want to have a panoramic view of the Prime Minister's Mansion, you have to climb to the top floor of Guanhe Residence."
After saying that, he looked towards Gunyun Peak to the west of Wangjing. It was the highest point near Wangjing and also housed the emperor's palace.
"Wangjing is also a place of treasures and splendor. The beauty of the scenery is rare in Daqi. If you want to see all the scenery in Wangjing at a glance, you have to climb Gunyun Peak."
As he said this, Qian Shoulin looked at Qian Qianli and his wife who didn't know what he meant.
"However, if you want to see the beauty of the world, you must stand above the clouds."
As he spoke, he pointed upward with one finger.
"As parents, you naturally hope that your children will succeed. Your Chao'er is an extraordinary person, and he has his own place to go. He was raised in this world, but he is not a blessed and long-lived person. You let go now. Once he goes, you will be gone. It has fulfilled him, and when he returns in the future, you will know that what I said today is true."
After the first election of the Qian family, Qian Qianli stayed in Wangjing for a while and then returned to Yuecheng to take up his post. Since Mrs. Qian was pregnant, and the Cai family did not allow her daughter-in-law to travel long distances, she stayed in the Prime Minister's Mansion to wait for the birth. After Qian Qianli returned to Yuecheng, he finally handed over the design of his son's lying cow crossbow to the court according to the discussion with his father Qian Jiangyun. Under his father's operation, he was moved to the position of minister of the Ministry of Industry and governor of Yuecheng. In charge of the weapons supervisor. The next year, Mrs. Qian gave birth to a daughter. Qian Shoulin made an exception and personally named the girl Qian Ning. Half a year later, Mrs. Qian and her mother-in-law Cai Shi returned to Yuecheng to reunite with Qian Qianli. After that, Mrs. Qian gave birth to two more sons, named Qian Tao and Qian Meng respectively. The family of six enjoys family happiness. However, although there is a young lady and two young masters in the Qian Mansion, no one is allowed to enter the house in the small garden except the master and his wife. Even the usual cleaning is done by Mrs. Qian. Do it yourself. All the old servants in the mansion know that it is the eldest young master's room. The furnishings are the same as when Qian Chao was at home, without any changes.
Sixteen years later, when Qian Ning got married, she met her eldest brother for the first time. As expected, Qian Chao fulfilled his promise. He and several close classmates descended from the sky with heavy gifts to celebrate his sister's marriage. Of course, the most important thing was to visit his parents. During the dinner, Mrs. Qian secretly pointed at one of them holding a baby in his arms. When a little white fox, the Wuling female disciple, who was pretty, smart and friendly with Qian Chao, asked her son if that girl was his eldest daughter-in-law, Qian Chao was greatly embarrassed and smiled bitterly.
The above is a postscript and will not be mentioned.
