The sixteenth brother and the eighteenth brother were very nervous when they saw the eighth uncle. After saying hello, they lowered their heads and waited. Uncle Ba just glanced at them lightly, and after checking the tunnels and Yangang Stone Mine respectively, he said:
"Eighteen, you neglected your duties and didn't even notice that outsiders had entered the forest farm for several months. It almost caused a catastrophe, which is a big mistake. As for Sixteen, you knew you couldn't light a fire in the forest, but you broke the law. According to the clan rules, you two They all have to stay at Siguo Cliff for five years."
On Siguo Cliff, apart from a vast expanse of white snow that has lasted for thousands of years, there is only the biting and raging wind. When Brother Sixteen heard this, they couldn't help but tremble.
Seeing this, Uncle Ba smiled with satisfaction and changed his voice: "But since you have discovered two veins of minerals one after another, it can be regarded as a great contribution. The five-year sentence will be changed to one year. I hope you will remember the lesson this time."
After the eighth uncle finished speaking, he sighed.
People of their generation are getting older, and the success and decline of the family can only rely on these juniors. He sincerely hoped that they would grow up quickly.
Fu Shiyi saw that Brother Sixteen was wilting even though he did not resist the punishment, so he whispered to him:
"Brother Sixteen, when you come down from Siguo Cliff, the Silver Star Fruit in my yard will be ripe, and you will be the first to taste it."
Brother Sixteen's eyes lit up. The smile appeared on his face again.
When Fu Shiyi saw this, he also smiled. After Uncle Eighth just inspected the stone mine, it was said that it was fully mined and could build two Houses of Earth Fire. If placed in Fang City, that would be three hundred spirit stones. This income is already considerable. Although according to the current manpower of the clan, it would take twelve years to mine.
Back in Dongcheng, when Fu Shiyi saw Liu Siyuan again, he was stunned for a moment. His eye sockets were sunken and his figure had become much thinner.
"What do you, the Fu family, want? If you want to kill or behead me, give me the right word!"
Fu Shiyi understood after hearing this. Just like a person who was sentenced to death but didn't know when it would be executed, Liu Siyuan must have been suffering during his imprisonment.
The eighth uncle just looked at the other party, and then looked at the twelfth uncle on the side. The twelfth uncle nodded:
"It is indeed a mutated thunder spirit root."
Uncle Ba's eyes lit up, and he waved to Brother Sixteen behind him. Brother Sixteen stepped forward blankly, and when he was about to speak, he was affixed with a second-level God-asking Talisman.
"Liu Siyuan, right? You must recognize the second-order magic talisman."
Liu Siyuan was stunned for a moment, then realized what he was doing. After some interrogation, he found out that his brother-in-law and brother were not killed by the Fu family, but by Wei Ke. He couldn't help but become trance-like and murmured to himself:
"How could this happen? How could this happen?"
Uncle Ba shook his head. If he wanted to make this person completely submit to the Fu family, this was only the first step. He took off the talisman from Brother Sixteen's forehead and said:
"Sixteen, eighteen, you continue to guard Yanyang Mulin. When your uncle and I escort the red marrow rice back to the mountain, someone from the clan will replace you. At that time, you can return to Fengshan to receive the punishment."
When the eighth uncle and the twelfth uncle escorted the red marrow rice back to the mountain, Fu Shiyi and the third uncle also plowed the six acres of spiritual land and replanted the seeds of water mushroom flowers under the spiritual peach tree.
Fu Shiyi was just finishing instilling spiritual energy into the pine and bamboo forest in Yanyang courtyard that had been reborn by thunder, when the communication talisman around his waist lit up:
"Didn't the Eighth Uncle leave Guyaju just now? Why did he come back again?"
Fu Shixi opened the formation in Guyaju, only to see that besides the formation, besides the Eighth Uncle, there was also an unfamiliar old man, whose facial features seemed familiar to him. The eighth uncle was standing behind him respectfully.
"Eleven, this is your grandfather, why don't you call someone?"
grandfather? !
Fu Shiyi blinked, and then his heartbeat accelerated immediately, and Yingying gave a salute:
"Grandpa...Grandpa is well. I am Eleven."
"Well, get up. I often hear Yan Xiu talking about you. Today I finally see the real person."
Yanxiu is the name of Fu Shiyi's eldest brother. The brother and sister exchange letters all year round, and his eldest brother always asks Fu Shiyi to attach a self-portrait to make up for the regret of not being able to grow up with him.
Fu Shiyi secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his grandfather was indeed as kind and approachable as his elder brother said.
"I didn't expect that this ancient cliff residence would be as big as it is now. In time, it will be as big as the clan's Luofengshan Mountain. When I left home, this was still a barren land."
The old man walked around Guyaju, and after sitting down in the conference hall of Xiaozhulou, he looked at Third Uncle and said hesitantly: "I see that you are somewhat similar to Ziyu from Third Fang, are you his descendant? "
"Old man, Ziyu is my nephew's late father. I am the third eldest son in the clan."
When the old man saw that his third uncle also had a gray beard, he waved to him to sit down, and then talked about the Zhang family:
"Although the Zhang family has suffered a lot this time, when I left, I faintly heard rumors that they were going to sell their second-level spiritual vein to the Qingxu Sect in order to borrow spiritual stones in exchange for Foundation Building Pill.”
Wu Renshan of the Zhang family has been practicing Qi for many years, and he must have the foundation-building pill, so foundation-building is a matter of course.
But once Wu Renshan established the foundation and had his daughter as a support in Qingxumen, whether the family's surname would be Zhang or Wu would depend on Wu Renshan's nature.
The old man sighed and said: "As soon as Zhang Shixian died, the Zhang family was in chaos. They even dared to sell off their ancestral property and entrusted the life of the entire family to someone with a foreign surname. They are really stupid!"
Speaking of the latter part, the pressure of the old man's foundation-building cultivator came out unconsciously, and Fu Shixi felt his shoulders sinking, as if a thousand-jin boulder was pressing on it. His feelings circulated his mind and relieved this force.
"Old man, the Zhang family has done this as a last resort, and I see that Wu Renshan has been working diligently in the Zhang family for decades. He has a good reputation and can be regarded as an upright gentleman."
"Hmph." The old man sneered and glanced at the eighth uncle: "A gentleman? Let's look back."
When he was investigating the Zhang family, he found some clues. The strange soul-collecting tree in the Zhang family seemed to have been transplanted decades ago.
The time coincides with Wu Renshan's marriage to the Zhang family.
"When you deal with this person in the future, remember to be more cautious."
The old man didn't find any conclusive evidence, so he could only give instructions to his clan members, and then a smile suddenly appeared on his face and he said: "The Zhang family can be regarded as well-behaved. Their strength has been greatly damaged this time. When I left, they had already promised to take Xihefang to Xihefang." A shop in the city was returned to our Fu family."
That's great!
Everyone's eyes lit up.
"Looking at it, we have no other business to do, so we let the Zhang family continue to operate it, but they have also promised to give us a rent of one hundred spirit stones every year, and they can take the shop back at any time."
One hundred spirit stones!
You must know that the spiritual fruit of their green plum tree can only be sold for a dozen spiritual stones. These one hundred spiritual stones are obviously a huge sum of money, and they are obtained for nothing.
Everyone in the meeting hall had a satisfied smile on their face.
