Of course, Zhang Shenling obviously did not have complete control over everything.
The ancestors of the official family appeared.
Xianyue City gave the fairy mountain to Tan Qin as a trump card, and killed Jinlian, an immortal method of Jinlan Sect.
The last chance for the painting of Yunxia Land fell on the Lingxi Gunner.
These things are probably not what Zhang Shenling wants to see.
The good thing is that the outcome of everything is not too transcendent.
Zhang Shenling looked at Zhang Qing, knowing that this boy could think of many things based on his few words, but he didn't care at the moment and quietly waited for Zhang Qing's choice.
"Let's wait a few more years." Zhang Qing finally chose Songhu Mine, which surprised Zhang Shenling.
"Based on my understanding of you, you should be willing to do something independently, rather than having others restrict you. This is exactly what I hope."
"You won't feel so comfortable if you go to Songhu. There are several ancestors there that even I can't say much about. Their seniority is higher than yours."
Zhang Qing nodded, "Of course I know. It's just that Qing Meng is still young. I won't have to worry about her when she grows up." ap
"That girl? She's also a troublemaker." Zhang Shenling shook his head and smiled. Having stayed in Chihu all day long, he naturally knows best what interesting things happen here every day.
"If that's the case, I won't advise you anymore. You can just go to Songhu when the time comes."
After placing the white deer on the ground, Zhang Qing left the attic and returned to his courtyard to find Qing Meng who was building a snowman.
"Second uncle, it has snowed heavily recently."
"The new year is approaching, wouldn't it be nice if auspicious snow heralds a good harvest?"
Touching the little girl's head, Zhang Qing said with a smile: "Go and clean up, let's go home."
"Go home?" Qing Meng was stunned for a moment, then realized and ran away quickly.
After a while, the little girl came out with a big package in her small body, "I miss my parents too."
A quarter of an hour later, a carriage drove by the Chihu Lake, leaving two less obvious traces on the snow.
"Second uncle, didn't the clan leader forbid you to leave the island in the middle of the lake?" In the carriage, Qing Meng, who stretched his palm out the window to grab snowflakes, asked.
"I didn't make any mistakes, why aren't I allowed to leave?" Zhang Qing smiled, "It's just that I'm not allowed to fight with others."
Zhang Qing knew when Qing Meng quickly carried out the package that this girl had already prepared her luggage for home, but because he said he would stay in seclusion on the island in the middle of the lake for three months, he never said anything.
Otherwise, many things in this package cannot be packed in a short time.
Zhang Qing looked at the fruit in a jade box in his hand. After taking it, mortals would strengthen their bodies and naturally prolong their lives.
Although it is used by monks of the Zhang family for practice, the family does not seem to have an unlimited supply.
"Ah?" Qing Meng's surprised voice was very long. At first, she thought Zhang Qing had made some mistake and was punished?
The clan elders in the clan always like to use this method to keep them quiet.
Jiang State, Nanyuan City.
There are very few cities in Jiang State that are not close to rivers and lakes, and Nanyuan City is one of them.
There are nearly 300,000 people living here, including hundreds of mortal descendants of the Zhang family in Chihu.
They are one of those scattered in various places. Every year, the family sends people to patrol these places. In addition to providing tranquility and solving threats, they also test the talents of newborn babies.
If they have spiritual roots, they will be sent to Chihu. If not, they will live an ordinary life with the tribesmen here.
Of course, as members of the Zhang family, having adequate food and clothing is only the most basic standard. Even if the Zhao family controls the entire Jiang Kingdom, official arrangements in places like Nanyuan City will be made with the consent of the Zhang family.
This also led to the fact that the court officials who came here did not have much ambition.
The good thing is that there is not much competition in Nanyuan City, and everyone lives peacefully.
And this is everything the people expect, so the Zhang family has a high reputation here.
In the silver-covered city, every door is decorated with everything needed for the New Year, making it look very lively.
Zhang Qing and Qing Meng, who stopped the carriage at the city gate and handed it over to the defenders, walked slowly, taking out some money from time to time to buy small items that made the little girl happy.
As for where does the money for mortals come from? The garrison of Nanyuan City is a position with no shortage of oil and water.
"They all asked me to bring back fun things. These should be enough, right?" Qing Meng looked at the pile of objects she was holding, smiled with satisfaction and asked Zhang Qing to help her pack them up.
She brought a lot of things home from the island in the center of the lake, and here, she will also bring a lot of things back to the island in the center of the lake to give to others.
This is the friendship of children, simple and simple.
Because there were two cultivators, Zhang Qing and Zhang Qingmeng, a mansion was given to their family in Nanyuan City, but other mortals in the family who had no cultivators did not have such treatment.
"The young master and young lady are back!" As the surprise announcement spread throughout the mansion, the entire Zhang family started to move.
"father."
"Mother."
Zhang Qing bowed respectfully to the middle-aged men and women sitting beside him, and then said respectfully to the two old men on the main seat:
"Grandfather grandmother."
Qing Meng on the side also shouted in a learned manner.
"Okay, okay! You are really a talented person." Zhang Mingjing, the old man at the top, laughed, and after he spoke, the others smiled at Zhang Qing.
"She is indeed the Qilin'er of the family. With this temperament, I am afraid that she will charm countless girls in the city, right?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Even a female cultivator may not be able to withstand the words of my nephew."
Laughter quickly spread in the hall, and during the family dinner in the evening, Zhang Qing was even more praised.
Zhang Qing, who had a calm face and a smile, was pulled away after the meal.
"How's it going? Are you not used to it?" A young man handed Zhang Qing a glass of wine, and the two of them sat in the yard looking at the bright moon above their heads.
The young man's name is Zhang Ya, Zhang Qing's eldest brother.
"Before, I also thought about becoming a practitioner like you and flying to the sky and escaping to the earth. But as I get older, everything becomes easier."
"Immortals live like immortals, and mortals also have the fun of mortals. There is nothing to envy."
As he spoke, the young man looked at Zhang Qing and said, "You have another nephew. Tomorrow you will see if he has any talent. To be honest, I am still a little conflicted."
"That girl Qingmeng followed you to Chihu. On the one hand, I hope this boy can be with you, but on the other hand, I don't. How do you explain this matter?"
Zhang Ya didn't mean to be polite to Zhang Qing and asked directly.
"So is your sister-in-law. She's been feeling a lot more melancholy these days."
Zhang Qing came back to his senses, reached for the wine flask and filled up the two jade cups. "Everyone has his own destiny. There is no point in intervening too much. Just let everything take its course."
"You sound comfortable." Zhang Ya smiled and drank the wine in one gulp. He also knew that his worries were meaningless.
These are the rules of the family, and they don't want to see their son eventually fall into the underworld and become a ghost.
"By the way, a few days ago, someone from the family summoned the clansmen from Nanyuan City and gently told us to have more children. But what happened?"
"The head of the family has broken through the realm. Our territory will expand in the next few decades, so we will need more direct monks."
"I see..." Zhang Ya didn't understand the meaning, and Zhang Qing didn't have any more explanation.
The next day, after Zhang Qing tested the spiritual root talents of three newborns in the gang, he shook his head at everyone.
In a slightly happy and unwilling atmosphere, Zhang Qing walked out of the mansion.
No one will bother him, but he also has family responsibilities.
In the past, the family would specially arrange for people to come to Nanyuan City to do all the things that were handed over to him because Zhang Qing was coming back.
Mortal families in the clan, as well as families in the entire Nanyuan City who are interested in testing whether their children have talents, all need his review.
Ling is basically a resource in the world of cultivation. This resource in Nanyuan City belongs to the Zhang family, not the Zhao family, the royal family of the Jiang Kingdom.
