"Qiao'er, my father plans to send you to the family!" After some thought and hard work, Li Jixiu said to Li Qiao one day.
"What am I going to do?" After hearing such words, Li Qiao, who also knew that he had no hope of becoming an immortal, was a little confused.
Regarding matters within the clan, Li Jixiu had briefly mentioned it several times in his past life. The location of the family was familiar to Li Qiao, but everything else was unfamiliar to him.
"In addition to monks, the clan also needs a large number of ordinary clan members to maintain it!"
Although there was only a short sentence, the smart Li Qiao knew after a moment's thought that he was going to work, or could it be said to be serving people? Li Qiao, who was thinking this way, did not say what he was thinking, but thought of another question: "Then can I go home often?"
Li Jixiu shook his head: "The clan is not as good as home, and the distance is not close."
In fact, Li Qiao didn't want to go, but he knew that what he had said should not count, and with a somewhat expectant look on his father, he said: "If you can't cultivate yourself, how about going to see others cultivate themselves? That's okay!"
He didn't know that this opportunity to join the clan was not that easy. It was the result of his father Li Jixiu's constant running around after he knew that the clan was recruiting people. The Xiuxian clan needed mortals to do some chores, but Not just any clan member can do it. Who knows what those adult clan members with thin blood have experienced secretly in these years? Basically, ordinary people in the clan who have the opportunity to get close to monks will be trained from an early age.
When Li Jixiu sent Li Qiao to the clan, he was also faced with the situation of being killed in the fifth generation. He was worried that he would still have no qualifications if he had another child, so he wanted to send his second son into the clan. Mortals trained directly by the family are easy to get close to the family monks. Even if he is killed in five lifetimes, he can still provide some protection to his family's descendants.
Time flies very fast, and in two months it is approaching the day when Li Qiao will leave to join the clan. Before leaving, Li Qiao's parents made some explanations to their son who was about to leave.
"Qiao'er, after arriving in the family, you should behave well and listen to your elders..." Most of her mother said this. Ever since she knew that Li Qiao was going to travel far away, this woman integrated her care into every aspect of her daily life. He even taught Li Qiao how to cook and wash clothes in a short period of time, but because he felt sorry for his son, most of the time he just let Li Qiao watch and learn, and he didn't know how much he learned.
Compared to his mother, Li Qiao's father told some news that he didn't know before.
"Don't think about cultivating immortals. If you don't have the qualifications, you won't be able to achieve anything. Instead, you will be driven away by your family..."
"Cultivating immortals seems wonderful, but you can't have descendants. Being a monk at the lowest level will only make you more miserable..."
When he said these words, Li Jixiu's expression was very solemn.
These words undoubtedly caused a ripple in Li Qiao's heart. He always thought that he could not become an immortal without the qualifications to become an immortal. But now, according to his father's opinion, it is possible to become an immortal without the qualifications?
"These words are my own judgment as a father, don't talk nonsense..." Li Jixiu added after seeing the confusion on his son's face.
Not having the qualifications to cultivate immortality does not mean that you cannot cultivate immortality. Five generations have been killed, and counting up to the top, there have been monks. Li Jixiu has heard many stories of people who have successfully cultivated immortality despite being tested without the qualifications to cultivate immortality. However, almost all such monks have limited achievements, no inheritance and Most of the resources have been lingering at the bottom of Qi training for a lifetime, and there are also examples of people who died from practicing indiscriminately.
Not to mention others, Li Jixiu himself can occasionally feel the presence of spiritual energy under certain conditions. It seems that his qualifications are too low, and the same resources will consume more, so this kind of qualifications is equivalent to no qualifications. Even so, Li Jixiu has never If you have the idea of trying to practice cultivation, it would be better if you have the protection of your family, but it is better not to cultivate immortality indiscriminately.
The world of cultivating immortals is very dangerous. If you are not lucky, you will fall in an instant. But the monks he wants his family to become do not need to have any dreams of immortality, nor do they need to overcome obstacles and constantly break through the realm to move forward. As long as they are monks, they will be fine. The family can only support a place of survival for the family.
He said that he had to explain it solemnly because he was afraid that Li Qiao would take the wrong path. His son was still young and he would not be around in the future, so he had to explain it in order to feel at ease.
"Actually, I can become an immortal, right?"
"Yes, but without the permission of the family, you cannot practice it... At the least, you can abolish the cultivation to expel it, at the most extreme, you can directly execute him..."
This sentence made Li Qiao feel for the first time that death was not far away from him, but facing his father, he still expressed his doubts: "Why is this happening? Isn't it okay if we don't occupy the resources of the clan?"
"Human desires are endless. If you don't practice, you will be able to do anything. If you really practice, you can do anything. There is no hope, so why fill up the mess." At this point, Li Jixiu said with a stern expression. : "Your son, please remember what your father said today. Don't make mistakes. More than one person in the clan will die because of this. Don't let your father lose your son."
Li Qiao's heart trembled. Knowing the seriousness of the matter, he nodded heavily. And his focus has shifted from whether he can cultivate to immortality to another issue just mentioned: "If you cultivate to immortality, you can't have a wife? The family won't let you?" If this is really the case, wouldn't it be miserable for the family monks?
Hearing this topic, Li Jixiu smiled slightly, shook his head twice in succession, and answered the following question: "The family won't let it go? How is it possible? The cultivators of the cultivating family have the final say, so how can they restrict themselves."
Then he continued: "Cultivation of immortals can have a future, but they need to take some precious elixirs at the beginning of cultivation to maintain them. The higher the cultivation level, the higher the requirements for elixirs. Except for the direct descendants of some major sects, Most cultivating families cannot afford it. For most cultivators, this point can be ignored!"
On the eve of departure, Li Jixiu told Li Qiao many things he knew. He didn't expect his son to have any future, just don't make mistakes out of ignorance.
…
In the center of Wangxian Town, a three-foot-sized low-grade flying boat soared into the sky and took away a group of five young children from the Li family here. These children will arrive at a branch of the Li family, where after several years of After studying, he served the family monks there.
Different from other children who were a little panicked when riding a flying boat for the first time, Li Qiao was full of novelty about this feeling. He wanted to see the outside world from the window of the flying boat, but he was not tall enough. Even if he stood on tiptoes, he could only stand on his toes. From a tilted angle, I could see some sky, except for the blue sky, there were occasional clouds flashing by.
He could see this kind of scenery standing on the ground, and it was wider. He wanted to see how the earth felt under his feet.
Looking back not far away, he saw the middle-aged man who was accepting him. The middle-aged man sitting cross-legged at the moment also looked at him. The man was not angry and powerful, and his eyes seemed to be shining. Li Qiao immediately calmed down. And gave up the idea of jumping up to take a look.
This is the monk! His eyes were so powerful, and the moment such thoughts flashed through his mind, the dream of cultivating immortality once again rose up in his heart, and then fell to pieces in the blink of an eye.
In Li Qiao's eyes, monks are infinitely beautiful, but the reality is that some monks have their own worries.
"Li Qiao!" Watching the flying boat go away, Li Jixiu whispered the name of his second son. When he was given this name, he also had the hope that his son would become a leader among people, but now it seems that hope is destined to fail. .
After the flying boat soared into the sky and completely lost its trace, Li Jixiu and his wife left separately with the other tribesmen who were sending their children away.
For monk Li, the family's sphere of influence is not large, especially since this is just a branch branch of the family. For monks in the foundation building period, the distance of a thousand miles can be covered in one day. They can go back and forth, but for mortals, it is an almost insurmountable distance. It's not that mortals can't travel long distances, but the road is dangerous.
After less than half a day's flight, the flying boat landed in a canyon among the mountains, and Li Qiao also began his own learning journey.
As mortals from cultivating families, children basically know some words, but they are inevitably uneven. For the systematic training of these children, literacy is essential. In addition, some basic elixirs Discernment is also a required course.
In this Li clan land, there are only a few monks, maybe over a hundred, but there are thousands of mortals serving them.
After three years of study, Li Qiao became a fire-making boy. There are many mortals, and there must be no shortage of people who make fires and cook. And teenagers of his age generally cannot do too many things.
In the smoke, the grown-up Li Qiao would be exposed to the smell of fireworks if he was not careful, and parts of his face would turn black.
If at the beginning, Li Qiao still had a little fantasy of cultivating immortals, but after several years of calmness and busyness, he basically stopped thinking about it.
Not to mention the opportunity to cultivate immortality, there is no chance to get close to the family monks, and his father's idea of letting him try to get as close to the family monks as possible, there is no hope in a short time.
The information that Li Jixiu knew about the mortals in the family serving monks who were easily close to the monks had been passed down from the previous generations. At that time, there were only a few members of the family's descendants, which was normal. However, as time went by, the number of people in the clan increased, especially the mortals. Many members of the clan hold the idea of having a few more children with testing qualifications like him. The number of family members continues to increase, and the situation has long since changed.
Li Jixiu was a mortal who had never left Wangxian Town in his entire life. How could he know the specific situation of the clan? If he knew this situation, he would definitely not send Li Qiao here.
Even so, Li Qiao's situation is not bad. After all, they are all members of the same clan, and there is no bullying. Generally, it does not involve the struggle for power within the family. Generally, there will be no one for a small role like him at the lowest level. focus on.
