Seemingly unhappy, Ancestor Jin Xi lay casually on the wicker chair, with her beautiful body on full display. A jar of wine appeared in her white jade-like hands. The wine jar was slightly tilted, and the wine entered her red lips. Her chest was rising and falling slightly. , the wine gurgled into my stomach.
She was acting very unladylike at the moment.
There is only maid Long Xuan here, so she is not worried about damaging her own image.
"Master, you have to use this person as a chess piece to establish a plan in Qingshui County and take the opportunity to open an opening in the Chu Kingdom." Long Xuan's eyebrows were twitching and her eyes were shining. She seemed to be thinking about the next plan. .
From Zhongzhou to Chu State, the situation faced by the master was not good. Some Jindan elders in Danyang Sect were ostracizing and suppressing him.
Even some monk families in Qingshui County are half-hearted about their master and have their own thoughts.
Using Lu Xuanji as a chess piece and the Lu family as a breakthrough point, some situations can be opened up.
"piece?"
Ancestor Jin Xi's tone was somewhat ethereal and profound, "He is not my chess piece, he is just a hope of mine."
"hope?"
Long Xuan frowned, thought carefully and said, "There doesn't seem to be anything strange about him."
"I don't know some things. In the future, he may become an unparalleled powerhouse and stand on top of the world; or he may remain ordinary and disappear into the world."
Ancestor Jin Xi stood up, looked into the distance, turned his back to Long Xuan, and said melodiously: "I'm just investing. It's good if I succeed, but I won't lose much if I fail."
Long Xuan seemed to understand and thought: "This is venture capital."
"Remember to recruit some disciples appropriately this year. The standards should be relatively low and the character should be relatively high." Ancestor Jin Xi said: "Give them a chance and give me a chance."
………
Whoops!
Looking at Ziyang Mountain disappearing in the distance, Lu Xuanji breathed a sigh of relief.
By rejecting Ancestor Jin Xi, he might have lost a big opportunity, but he had no regrets in his heart.
Thinking about the eldest elder in the family, thinking about Ye Feixue, thinking about his father and mother, his heart became more determined.
Looking back on the process along the way, the plan was quite perfect. The three natal treasures, including the Lihuo Sword, Wings of Freedom, and Mending Heaven Cauldron, were all successfully refined. In the storage bag, there was also an additional token belonging to the ancestor Jin Xi. , established a relationship with this ancestor, and could establish friendship with Jin Xi's lineage in the future.
This is connections.
In the world of cultivation, connections are very important.
No aristocratic family can guarantee that it will always be prosperous and at its peak.
Many aristocratic families have their ups and downs.
When the family is at a low point, the role of connections is very important.
For example, now, the Lu family is in a trough. There are only five foundation-building monks in the family, and the family's industry and spiritual fields have shrunk to a large extent. However, with the help of the connections in the Danyang Sect and Qingshui County over the past century, they have exerted a certain influence. As a result, many forces want to give face.
The Lu family also got a breather accordingly. In the dangerous situation, they had the opportunity to recuperate and have the possibility of rising again.
It is very important for the Lu family to establish corresponding friendship and connections with the Jin Xi ancestor.
"Next, it's time to visit my eldest brother and second sister."
Lu Xuanji suddenly thought of his mother's advice.
The eldest brother has no spiritual roots and has been living in the mortal world; the second sister has five spiritual roots, lives in a city, and is said to be married.
We haven't seen each other for decades, and the relationship seems to have weakened.
This time I went to meet them, just to understand some of my mother's wishes.
…
Beihe Town is located in the northwest of Luobei County. It is located in the southeast of the county seat, about three hundred miles away from the county seat.
After asking for information from the county magistrate in the city, the location of Beihe Town was determined.
As we walked, a small village appeared.
In the northwest of the village, there is a river rushing through, disappearing into the distance. Near the river, children are playing, and women are washing clothes; near the river, there are pieces of cultivated land, and inside Crops are being grown.
There are also some mortal farmers hoeing the fields.
In the distance is a room with adobe houses, thatched houses, brick houses, etc., distributed on a high platform in the distance, gathered into a large area.
Looking at the size of this village and town, there are approximately more than a thousand households.
There is a strong local flavor here, with some pear trees, fruit trees, etc. planted near the entrance of the village, and some willows, cypresses, pine trees, etc., scattered in the courtyards of some farmhouses.
Looking here, Lu Xuanji had a different feeling.
The spiritual energy in the villages and towns is thin, and monks will not come here.
This village is a mortal village.
There are no monks inside, just mortals, with some aura of warriors.
Looking at this village, Lu Xuanji thought of his past life. The countryside in his hometown was also like this. He remembered that he often went to the fields to harvest corn, rice, etc.
"Brother, it's in this village."
Lu Xuanji stepped forward and reached the entrance of the village.
"Sir, who are you looking for?"
At the entrance of the village, an old man asked warily.
It seems that he is afraid that he is a human trafficker.
"I'm looking for someone. I am a relative of Lu Xuanxin, and he is my eldest brother." Lu Xuanji said.
"Eldest brother Lu Xuanxin, also known as the master of the Lu family... wait a minute, I will take you this way." The old man said, entertaining him warmly.
"Thank you, old man."
Lu Xuanji said modestly.
The old man walked in front, and Lu Xuanji followed closely, half a step slower.
The old man asked: "What is your name? Who is Mr. Lu?"
"My eldest brother is Lu Xuanxin. I came to see my brother." Lu Xuanji said, "We haven't seen each other for a long time."
"Mr. Lu is a good man, but someone at home has been sick recently."
The uncle was very talkative and talked about some things about the Lu family.
Lu Xuanji also listened carefully.
The village is not big, and soon we arrived in front of a brick house, and the uncle knocked on the door knocker.
Clang clang clang!
Soon, the black iron door opened, and a servant appeared and asked, "Uncle Zhao, who are you looking for?"
The uncle smiled and said: "No, I am looking for someone, but the person behind me is looking for someone."
After saying that, he automatically stepped aside, revealing Lu Xuanji.
"Sir, what do you call me?"
The servant asked warily.
"Lu Xuanji, your master's third brother." Lu Xuanji said, "Is my eldest brother here?"
"You are the third master..."
The servant was a little suspicious, but seemed to think of something and couldn't help but ask: "You are an immortal master."
"So be it."
Lu Xuanji nodded.
In the world of cultivation, not everyone has a future.
Those monks with five spiritual roots felt that they had no future in the world of cultivation, so they went directly to the mortal world to make a living, and they were also called immortal masters.
"Third Master, come inside."
The slave smiled and invited eagerly.
Lu Xuanji said: "Thank you very much, uncle."
Then enter the courtyard.
Entering the courtyard, I looked around one after another. There were water tanks and mulberry trees in the courtyard. The ground was made of bluestone, and there were some maids and servants walking around.
This is a standard landowner family.
The servant stepped forward to report, and soon another slave ran to report.
When they arrived in the living room, the servant poured tea directly and stood respectfully.
Lu Xuanji picked up the teacup and took a gentle sip.
The taste is not as good as Lingcha, but it's polite to take a sip anyway.
After not waiting for long, an old man appeared. He was holding a cane in his hand. He looked very thin, with sparse and faint white hair on his head. He was wearing a black mandarin jacket and had a goatee under his neck. He looked like a sixty-year-old man. look like.
"You are the third brother."
the old man asked.
"Brother."
Lu Xuanji stepped forward and grabbed his eldest brother's hand.
Familiar blood, familiar breath of Qi and blood, familiar feeling.
This was the first time he met his eldest brother, but he was sure that this old man was his eldest brother.
The appearance can be disguised, but the aura of blood and the feeling of closeness cannot be disguised no matter what.
