Now that we have talked about Zhang Yi, let’s talk about Zong Xi, the leader of the great dandy in the Wuling Sect.
As mentioned before about Zhang Yi's background, Zhang Yi has two grandfathers who are Yuanying monks from Yuhu Mountain in the sect. In addition, he also has several uncles and cousins. He is a pill-forming monk in the sect, and the Wulingzhang clan has great influence in the sect.
The Wuling Sect, where Zong Xi was born, is even more powerful. Zong Xi also has two grandfathers who are Yuanying monks. But in addition, Zong Xi also has an uncle and a cousin. He is a Yuanying monk on Yuhu Mountain. In addition, his uncles, cousins, etc. are all well-known alchemy elders in the sect. The rest of his peers are even more talented. Compared to Zhang, , the Wuling Sect's strength is even stronger, and that's why Zong Xian is the leader of the sect, and he is well-deserved for his profound background.
Zong Xi's father, Zong Shuqiong, is an elder of Qixia Mountain, and his mother, Mu Jinze, is an elder of Shuiyun Valley. However, Zong Xi is not the only son of these two. In fact, he also has an elder brother who is with him. The elder brother was born only a few moments apart, which meant that the two brothers Zong Xi were actually twins.
For ordinary monks, having twins is naturally a good thing. And between the twin brothers who are like twins carved in jade, they must have a very good relationship with each other.
But these are for ordinary monks and ordinary twins. If these twins were born in the Wuling Sect, the situation would be different.
It can be said that the relationship between Zong Xi and his elder brother is almost a quarrel.
Zong Xi's elder brother is named Zong Shang. Like all twins, Zong Shang and Zong Xi are almost the same in appearance and stature, as if they were engraved in the same mold. However, Zong Shang is not currently in the Five Spirits Sect. Instead, he was stationed outside the sect. In other words, Zong Xi's brother had already established a foundation.
A pair of twin brothers, Zong Xi is still practicing Qi refining, while his elder brother has already established a foundation. However, these two people are still on the same page. After meeting, they are even more cold-eyed to each other. There is of course a reason for this. of.
The reason why the Wuling Sect is so powerful and has many talents is related to the way they teach their children. Within the clan, the elders teach the younger ones mainly to make them compete with each other. Brothers compete with each other. If an only son is Then go and compete with your cousins, and even some of the younger generations with better qualifications are encouraged to compete with their elders. This is the main reason why the children of the Zong family are all good.
Talking about the two brothers Zong Xi and Zong Shang, after these two were born in their infancy, their father Zong Shuqiong deliberately guided the two sons to compete secretly. When they were young, the two sons would compete with each other over candied cakes and the like. Later, after Zong Xi and Zong Shang began to practice, they were rewarded and punished based on the progress of their cultivation. From time to time, they would There are good things that are brought out to attract the two brothers to compete for each other, such as a high-quality spiritual weapon, a few high-quality elixirs in a crystal bottle, and the opportunity to go out with the elders to see the world, and even some young people Favorite playthings, etc. are all regarded as rewards, but every time only one of the two brothers can get these, and the other brother who fails in the competition can only watch and covet. As time goes by, Zong will naturally get it. Both Xi and Zong Shang became active and competitive, and worked extra hard on their spiritual practice.
Speaking of which, Zong Xiang, the two brothers, has received more awards than his elder brother Zong Shang. Although the two brothers are twins with almost the same appearance and stature, their spiritual root qualifications are different. Zong Xi His aptitude is still higher than that of his brother Zong Shang. In addition, the two of them work equally hard and have similar mental abilities. Therefore, Zong Xi's cultivation progresses faster than Zong Shang's. The difference is not obvious at the beginning, but later on the two of them After they both entered the middle level of Qi Refining, the gap gradually began to widen. From then on, Zong Shuqiong's rewards almost all fell into Zong Xi's hands, and all the good things were put into his storage bag. Sometimes Zong Shuqiong would take him out to meet friends and see the world. The Wuling Sect has a wide circle of friends in the spiritual world, which is why Zong Xian was able to get to know many of the dandies from outside the sect when the other four major sects came to the Wuling Sect to participate in the centenary ceremony.
His younger brother could be treated like this, but his elder brother could only stay in the sect and practice diligently. Zong Shang was naturally unhappy, but even though he was unwilling to do so, he had no choice but to remain silent. to catch up with his brothers in practice.
Under this situation, Zong Xi's temperament will inevitably change. The two brothers have always regarded him as the superior, so over time, his temperament began to become arrogant, and Zong Shang's His temperament was just the opposite, and he gradually became silent and solemn.
Zong Shuqiong, the father, may not have noticed this, or he may have discovered it but didn't care about it. After all, the Wuling Sect has always been like this, and every member of the Sect grew up fighting for it. This kind of The method is almost a family motto, and Zong Shuqiong completely adheres to it, so the fight between the two brothers has continued.
Occasionally Zong Shang could outdo his younger brother, but most of the time it was Zong Xi who took the lead. This situation lasted until something happened that was most important to the two brothers.
As mentioned before when explaining to Zhang Yi, several clans in the sect attach great importance to the choice of Taoist companions for their juniors and do not allow juniors to make their own decisions to choose Taoist companions for themselves. As a member of the Wuling Sect, Zong Shuqiong This was true, and it was even more true for his sons. When Zong Xi and Zong Shang were still young, Zong Shuqiong began to look for future Taoist companions for these two sons. But after so many years, he only found one suitable family, which was a big family named Shen. The Shen family was very powerful, so they were favored by Zong Shuqiong. It happened that there was a member of the Shen family who was the same as these two. My brother's daughter is about the same age. Although this girl is not stunningly beautiful, she is definitely a beautiful woman. The son she promises to give her in the future will not only be a good match, but also a talented and beautiful woman.
Being able to become in-laws with the Zong clan of Wuling Sect will give the Shen family a big mountain to rely on in the future, so the Shen family is naturally very willing.
As for which son of Zong Shuqiong this daughter of the Shen family will marry in the future, Zong Shuqiong is not sure. Although Zong Xi is faster in cultivation than Zong Shang, who can tell what will happen in the future, so Zong Shu Qiong just made a marriage arrangement with the Shen family, but the specific girl who will be his future daughter-in-law has not yet been determined. If he can find another girl who is the right match, the two sons will naturally have Taoist companions in the future, but Now only one has been found. It was at this time that Zong Shuqiong came up with an idea that he didn't know whether it was a clever move or a faint idea. He suggested that the daughter of the Shen family should go to the Wuling Sect first. Anyway, the three children were still alive. They are all about Qi refining. The daughter of the Shen family can also practice when she goes to Wuling Sect. She can practice with his two sons under his eyes. No matter who she forms a Taoist partner with in the future, she can also practice with each other. Some childhood sweethearts have feelings for each other.
The Shen family also agreed to this, and even praised Zong Shuqiong for his long-term thinking.
Little did he know that in Zong Shuqiong's heart, he wanted to use Miss Shen as a prize to continue to stimulate the two sons to compete with each other. He was sure that Miss Shen's beauty and charm would definitely impress his two sons. heart of!
The daughter of the Shen family was named Shen Su. Her cultivation level at that time was comparable to that of Zong Shang and slightly worse than Zong Xi. This girl was not a stunning beauty, but she was definitely a beauty with bright eyes and white teeth. In addition, this girl The most attractive thing is her innate aura of beauty, which is enough to attract people's hearts with just a glance.
As expected, after this girl Shen Su came to Wuling Sect and lived in Zong Shuqiong and Mu Jin's cave, she firmly attracted the two brothers Zong Xi and Zong Shang. Zong Shuqiong did not He did not explain the purpose of the girl's visit to his two sons. After a while, he found that his two sons were all surrounding Shen Su, vying to show their courtesy. After that, Zong Xi quietly summoned his two sons. His side explained Shen Su's identity. Finally, Zong Shuqiong told his two sons that he had not yet decided who this Miss Shen would marry in the future. Of course, he was not in a hurry. After all, monks had to go to foundation building to find a Taoist companion, so , he decided which of his two sons would build the foundation first, and he would be able to become a Taoist companion with this girl Shen Su.
When Zong Shuqiong finished speaking, Zong Xi was overjoyed, but Zong Shang remained silent.
Zong Xi was overjoyed because he had been competing with his brother for many years. He had always won more and lost less, especially as time went on, he won more. After all, his cultivation had distanced him from Zong Shang. As a As a member of the Wulingzhang clan, he himself knows that future marriages will be decided by the elders. For this reason, he is also worried that his Taoist partner will not be what he wants in the future. Now, Miss Shen Su is a charming and caring beauty. After one look, he All he could think about was Miss Shen's beautiful figure. How could he not be so happy when he heard his father say this? He had already determined that he would be Miss Shen's husband in the future, so he was beaming with joy.
Zong Shang was worried because of this reason. However, even if he was not as good as his brothers in terms of cultivation, his love for beauty was the same. When he saw Shen Su, his heart palpitated as if he had been struck by lightning. Miss Shen's shyness and elegance completely attracted him, and naturally he wanted Miss Shen Su to become his Taoist companion. However, in the competition between him and his brothers, Zong Shang unfortunately lost more than he won. He did not expect that this girl Shen Su would become a prize in the competition between his brothers. From this point of view, it is very likely that he would regret it. For life. Therefore, Zong Shang felt very disappointed after hearing what his father said, so he remained silent.
Of course, now we all know that Zong Shang has established a foundation and is stationed abroad by the sect, so he must have become a Taoist couple with Miss Shen Su, and Zong Xi, whose original cultivation has always surpassed Zong Shang, is still practicing. The Qi stage was lingering, and it seemed that Zong Xi had failed in the most critical and important competition among young men.
This is indeed the case. Although Zong Xi later proved that his talent in cultivation was higher than Zong Shang's, and he hit the bottleneck of foundation building before Zong Shang, his first attempt at foundation building failed.
The reason for his failure was that girl Shen Su.
