The Yu family was once the most prominent family in the Lu State. At its peak, even the Lu family, the royal family of the Lu State, obeyed the Yu family's advice.
However, things are unpredictable. As the years have changed, this wealthy family in the Lu Kingdom has declined and become an ordinary family in Luodu. However, the ancestral property left behind back then means that the current Yu family does not need to work on their own.
In a courtyard with green tiles and white walls at the foot of the green mountain, an old man was teaching several young people from the Yu family how to read and write.
"The way of heaven is destined but has no accumulation, so all things are created; the way of the emperor is destined but there is no accumulation, so the world returns; the way of the holy is destined but there is no accumulation, so the sea is submissive. Ming is in the sky, connected to the saint, and the six connections and four openings are in the emperor Those who are virtuous are doing it for themselves, and there is no one who is not quiet. The quietness of the saint is not just quiet, but it is also good, so it is quiet; there is no one who can express his heart, so it is quiet..." The old man raised his head and spoke slowly .
The few teenagers sitting cross-legged below were not interested in such profound words, so they were quietly playing with each other below.
The old man turned his head and saw the young man playing below him. He suddenly became angry and shouted loudly: "The Yu family used to be the most powerful family in the Lu country for five generations. But now it is in such a decline. If you are still so unmotivated, what will happen to you in the future?" Go and meet your ancestors with dignity?"
Following the old man's angry scolding, the young men below suddenly turned pale and dared not speak. Looking at this group of naughty young and old people, they sighed and then walked towards their study.
As soon as he entered the study, the old man's expression changed. He saw a strange young man sitting at the desk and looking at him calmly. The old man looked ugly and was furious in his heart. The Yu family was now in such a state of decline. Could it be that those wealthy families still refused to let him go?
The old man was about to reprimand, but suddenly he felt that the young man in front of him was familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before.
"Are you the current head of the Yu family?" the young man asked slowly.
As the young man asked the old man, he suddenly came to his senses. Isn't this young man one of the immortals who must kneel down and worship when he succeeds as the head of the family? The old man hurriedly prepared to kneel down, but he felt a strange force that prevented him from kneeling down.
So the old man stammered and replied: "Immortal... Immortal Chief, I am Yu Shouren, but I am the current head of the Yu family!"
This young man is Jining. He looked at the old man and said, "Call me Mr. Ji. I was related to your Yu family back then, but it's all an old matter! I passed by Luodu today, but I also saw you. Wait until the ancestral teachings are not forgotten!”
The old man stood tremblingly and did not dare to speak, and he did not know what the immortal meant.
Jining looked around the Yu family's residence and asked: "Back then, your Yu family was at the height of its power and was the largest wealthy family in the Lu country. How did it end up in this situation in just a few hundred years?"
The old man said cautiously: "The ancestor Yu Qian decided to make the family the most prominent family in the Lu State. However, after the ancestor left Hexi, various unexplained deaths occurred among the prime men in the family. People in Luodu City spread rumors that the Yu family's dragon energy had been exhausted. , also caused the Yu family members who were born as commoners to leave one after another. By my generation, there are less than a hundred Yu family members in Luodu City!"
The old man sighed: "Maybe in another hundred years, there will be no Yu family in Luodu City."
Jining didn't say anything. From what the head of the Yu family said, he already had a rough guess in his mind.
It should be that the Yu family's reputation in the Lu country was too high and had surpassed the royal Lu family. Although Yu Qian decided to retreat bravely, and the Lu family knew that the Yu family knew people like themselves who were cultivators of immortality, this made the royal Lu family and even the sect behind it wary of the Yu family.
Perhaps those Yu family members who died inexplicably were manipulated behind the scenes by the royal Lu family.
Jining looked into the distance and said slowly: "Since Jim is here today, he will also ensure that your Yu family will prosper for a hundred years. If the family is in danger of being exterminated within a hundred years, let the clan members enter the back mountain cemetery to escape this disaster. However, The rise and fall of a family is normal. The rise and fall of the Yu family a hundred years later will also depend on how you manage the Yu family."
Then Jining disappeared into the study. The old man rubbed his eyes with a look of shock on his face. If he hadn't seen the young man in the portrait and clearly remembered what the immortal said just now, he would have thought that his eyes were dim.
So he quickly walked to the desk and carefully recorded what the immortal said just now.
…
Jining stood above the cemetery on the green hill at the back, and several sword intents sank into the cemetery below.
This is a protective formation set up by Jining with his powerful sword intention. When the sword intention senses the intention to kill, it will automatically activate. After this sword intention is activated, unless one has the blood of the Yu family, anyone near the cemetery will be killed by the sword intention.
Jining knew that the sword formation he set up should last for a hundred years. Within a hundred years, even ordinary Jindan monks would not be able to withstand the sword intent he had set up. After setting up the sword formation, Jining quietly left.
In a secret place with lush trees at the foot of Buzhou Mountain, there was an inconspicuous little Taoist temple. The main hall of this small Taoist temple was very small and only enshrined a statue of a Taoist ancestor that he did not recognize.
Under an ancient apricot tree in the backyard of the Taoist temple, there is a young man sitting in front of a stone table. He is Jining.
Opposite him stood a middle-aged monk wearing a purple robe inlaid with gold. The middle-aged monk was only in the late stage of Qi training. At this time, his face was pale and trembling. This trembling middle-aged monk is the current Lu country. National Division.
"Is it your sect's fault that the Yu family has been in such a state of decline for more than a hundred years?" Jining asked calmly.
The pale-faced Imperial Master of the Lu Kingdom said quickly: "Senior Ji, you also know that the sect generally does not intervene in mortal fights. However, there are some actions behind the Lu family's back."
Jining said coldly: "Jiu Zhen Guan should know that Ji has a connection with the Yu family, and actually encouraged the Lu family to do this. Aren't you afraid that Jiu Zhen Guan will disappear from Dongzhou?"
After hearing this, the Lu State Master trembled all over and said tremblingly: "Senior Ji, Jiuzhen Guan has never instigated the Lu family. If you don't believe me, I will inform the sect immediately and ask the sect elders to come and talk to you." Senior explains."
Jining did not speak.
The Imperial Master of the State of Lu quickly resigned, and a few hours later a late-stage Jindan monk appeared in the backyard of the small Taoist temple. He looked a little pale.
Then the late Jindan cultivator cupped his fists and said softly: "Senior Ji, I am Ke Zhenyu of Jiu Zhen Guan. What the disciples in the sect just said is exactly right, Jiu Zhen Guan does not interfere in mortal affairs. However, the behavior of the Lu family is also inconsistent with Jiu Zhen Guan. Zhen Guan cannot escape the relationship. Please punish me, Senior Ji, for the crime of Nine Zhen Guan!"
Jining looked at the middle-aged monk and said: "I don't want to get involved in mortal affairs, but the Yu family and Ji have some connections. Ji doesn't want to pursue the previous matter, but the Yu family will need your Jiuzhenguan to take care of it later. "
Hearing that the powerful monk in front of him was not angry, Ke Zhenyu breathed a sigh of relief and quickly asked: "Senior Ji has already opened his mouth, let the Lu family disappear from the Lu Kingdom. Jiuzhen Guan will arrange for the Yu family Become the new royal family of the Lu Kingdom?"
After hearing this, Jining waved his hands and said, "It doesn't matter, as long as Jiuzhen Guan protects the descendants of the Yu family in Luodu!"
After finishing speaking, Ke Zhenyu, the elder of Jiu Zhen Temple in Jining, mysteriously disappeared.
After Ke Zhenyu looked at Jining who disappeared in front of him, he quickly wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and breathed out.
But then a look of anger appeared on his face.
…
Soon after, the officialdom of Luodu City suddenly shook. The Yu family, which had been in decline for more than a hundred years, suddenly experienced great fortune. Several descendants of the Yu family inexplicably became important ministers of the Lu State, in charge of the most powerful military and personnel departments of the Lu State.
However, the royal Lu family was experiencing constant civil strife, and several princes died fighting for power. Therefore, there is a lot of talk about the royal family Lu family and the sudden rise of the Yu family, and everyone thinks that the Yu family's dragon vein Feng Shui is still there.
Originally, people in Luodu City thought that the Yu family would move back to the former Yu Gong's mansion, but the descendants of the Yu family were very quiet and low-key, and still lived at the foot of the Yu family cemetery.
