Chapter 30 Ancestor Mingsheng (please vote for recommendation)
…
Soon, Wang Shouzhe, under the guidance of his maid, arrived at the backyard of the Lu family's main house, where the Mingsheng ancestor practiced and lived in seclusion.
This place is close to the shore of Yingxiu Lake. The tall and majestic attic can have a panoramic view of half of the lake. The lake breeze, the sound of waves, leaping fish, and chirping of birds all make the buildings here blend into nature.
Standing in front of the pavilion named [Yingxiu Shengmingyue], Wang Shouzhe cupped his hands and said: "Wang Shouzhe, the Wang family of Ping'an, would like to see the ancestor Mingsheng."
"Come in."
A gentle voice sounded directly in Wang Shouzhe's ears.
Wang Shouzhe followed the instructions and climbed up the thick wooden steps to the upper floor of the attic. Outside the attic window, an old man in gray robe was facing away from Wang Shouzhe. He was sitting in the Taishi chair and fishing in Yingxiu Lake with a long fishing line.
His posture was very casual, but with Wang Shouzhe's eyes, he could not see through him at all. He was like an unattainable mountain or a bottomless lake.
Next to him, there was a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl in red. She was Wang Shouzhe's cousin Lu Xiaoxiao. She was glaring at Wang Shouzhe with an angry expression, obviously still angry.
"Grandpa Zeng, you said cousin Shouzhe is so annoying." Lu Xiaoxiao pouted and said, "Why does the sister named Wang have an amethyst spirit bee hive, but Xiaoxiao doesn't."
"Uh..." Wang Shouzhe touched his nose and wondered whether he should laugh or cry. He smiled at how this girl actually came to the ancestor to complain.
"Then what do you think I should do to teach your cousin a lesson? You said last time that you like cousin Shouzhe the most." The old man said quietly, "Now you don't like him anymore?"
"I like it, but my mother said that the Wang family is in a bad situation right now and they are short of money everywhere." Lu Xiaoxiao tilted her head and said seriously, "I think my cousin must be short of money. Why don't you, Grandpa Zeng, give your cousin five hundred gold?"
, how about asking him to buy an amethyst spirit honeycomb for me? This way Xiaoxiao won’t be angry with cousin Shouzhe.”
"Why five hundred gold?" the old man asked in astonishment, "Grandpa Zeng remembers that an ordinary amethyst spirit bee hive only costs two to three hundred gold. Could it be that the price has soared so much now?"
"Cousin Shouzhe also had a hard time buying beehives."
puff!
These words almost made Wang Shouzhe bleed. The logic of this cousin of the Lu family was really strong. In order to get a beehive, he was going to ask Mingsheng Patriarch to pay for it. He couldn't listen to these words anymore, so he immediately coughed twice and said:
"Shouzhe has met Patriarch Mingsheng."
Unexpectedly, Patriarch Mingsheng ignored Wang Shouzhe at all, but continued to talk to Lu Xiaoxiao: "Then your cousin Shouzhe bought you an amethyst spirit honeycomb. Can you listen carefully to Grandpa Zeng?"
"Yes!" Lu Xiaoxiao nodded firmly.
Patriarch Mingsheng nodded slightly, turned around and smiled at Wang Shouzhe. He threw it away and several golden tickets flew towards him.
Wang Shouzhe hurriedly caught it and took a closer look. It turned out to be five gold tickets worth one hundred gold. His face was filled with astonishment. What happened? Could it be...
"Shouzhe, did you hear that?" Ancestor Mingsheng's face, which looked like he was only in his fifties, revealed a hint of joking, "I'll buy your cousin Xiaoxiao an amethyst spirit honeycomb later.
The rest is your errand fee."
"This, Ancestor." Wang Shouzhe said hurriedly with a drop of cold sweat, "This is absolutely impossible to do. Cousin Xiaoxiao really likes the Amethyst Spirit Beehive. I'll just find a way to buy one."
"Okay, don't you know what the situation of your Wang family is now?" Patriarch Mingsheng waved his hand impatiently, "Take these dry gold first, prepare more cultivation resources, the amethyst spirit hive is waiting for you. Let’s talk about it when it’s convenient.”
Wang Shouzhe's heart warmed slightly, and he cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, ancestor, for your support." It seemed that ancestor Mingsheng wanted to support his great-grandson, so he didn't show any pretense at that moment. He took the money and talked about it later.
"Thank you for smiling, cousin." Ancestor Mingsheng said with a smile, "If I couldn't stand her entanglement, I wouldn't be able to part with this dry gold." For the Lu family, five hundred dry gold is not a small amount. After excluding all kinds of huge expenses, you may not be able to save this amount in one year.
"Thank you, cousin Xiaoxiao." Wang Shouzhe also said with cupped hands.
"Humph." Lu Xiaoxiao turned away and hummed, as if she refused to pay attention to him.
"Xiaoxiao, you have to strive for success, don't let that little spirit insect master girl compare you." Ancestor Mingsheng on the side said "provocatively", "If you can successfully learn the formation master together, you can become a first-level formation." Master, please keep your cousin Shouzhe in awe of you."
"Array Master?"
Wang Shouzhe said in surprise: "Ancestor, could it be that cousin Xiaoxiao has the talent to learn formations?"
"Why, your Wang family is allowed to produce a spirit insect master, but we, the Lu family, are not allowed to produce an array mage?" Patriarch Mingsheng said with a half-smile.
Wang Shouzhe had a drop of cold sweat on his forehead: "That's not what I meant, ancestor, I'm just a little surprised. Congratulations, ancestor, and congratulations to my cousin Xiaoxiao."
But he was sighing in his heart that it was really difficult to accurately predict this talent. He vaguely remembered that Lu Xiaoxiao had learned the "Nine Chapters Algorithm" poorly, but he still had the talent for formations...
"Grandpa Zeng, I will definitely work hard from now on and stop being lazy." Lu Xiaoxiao said obediently, "When I become a first-order array mage later, I will definitely not piss that little spiritual insect master to death. Let cousin Shouzhe look down upon you."
"You are ambitious, you are like me, Lu Mingsheng's great-granddaughter. Come on, let's lay the foundation first, and then Grandpa Zeng will take you to become a disciple." Ancestor Mingsheng looked kindly at Lu Xiaoxiao, but waved to Wang Shouzhe casually, "Shouzhe, do whatever you need to do."
Is this relationship being treated as a tool?
Wang Shouzhe was speechless secretly, but he got 500 gold from being a tool for once, and he was willing to do it as many times as he wanted. Moreover, Lu Xiaoxiao had a talent for formations, which was a great thing. They were his biological cousins, and they were related by blood. The relationship is very close.
However, it was rare to see the Mingsheng ancestor, and Wang Shouzhe didn't want to waste the opportunity so easily. He immediately raised his hand and asked: "Ancestor, Shouzhe has a few obscure points in his cultivation. I hope you can give me some advice."
"You brat, don't push yourself too far." Patriarch Mingsheng blew his beard and glared, "Your Patriarch Longyan is well-informed, do you still need my guidance?"
"You will understand if you listen together." Wang Shouzhe said with a smile, "Having the opportunity to confirm it in many ways will be very beneficial to the boy's journey to the Lingtai. I think the environment here is good for the ancestors, and he will definitely make great progress with his cultivation..."
He put on a rogue attitude, as if Mingsheng Ancestor refused to give advice, he would not leave. As a junior, there was no problem in playing rogue to his great-grandfather.
"Okay, okay, okay, if you have any questions, ask immediately. After you finish asking, leave quickly and don't disturb me for my Qing Xiu." Patriarch Mingsheng said helplessly.
Wang Shouzhe hurriedly asked the prepared questions one by one.
In fact, Patriarch Mingsheng only showed disgust on the surface. He could not be careless about the cultivation questions raised by Wang Shouzhe, and he answered them after considering them one by one. Unexpectedly, as he kept asking, Wang Shouzhe's questions gradually became more tricky, even though Lian Ming
Ancestor Sheng also needs to think carefully before he can answer.
Before being transported, Wang Shouzhe was a boring gourd. He only knew how to practice on his own. Sometimes he suppressed many questions and did not dare to ask Longyan Ancestor for advice. But the current Wang Shouzhe is completely different. Under the influence of the thinking of modern earthlings,
A lot of cultivation issues have been accumulated from various angles.
This is one of the differences between the children of aristocratic families and casual cultivators. There are family elders who can provide guidance and clear up doubts.
"You brat, it's almost done. Ancestor, I also want to practice." After more than two hours in a row, Ancestor Mingsheng couldn't bear it anymore. Where did this kid come from with so many weird questions? If he is treated like this again
If I keep asking, I'm afraid I won't be able to answer.
He can't make nonsense about things he doesn't understand, right? If something goes wrong, wouldn't it hurt the younger generations?
I really can’t stand it!
Lu Xiaoxiao was still pretending to listen at first, but the more she listened, the more confused and bored she became, so she fell asleep lying on the side while listening.
"Thank you so much, ancestor, for clarifying my doubts. Shouzhe is really enlightened." Wang Shouzhe also stopped at the good news. He stood up and cupped his hands and said, "I wish my ancestor to achieve great success in mystical power and ascend to heaven as soon as possible."
Ancestor Mingsheng was quite happy to say this. Although he was still stumbling forward on the road to the middle stage of Lingtai, who among those who have cultivated to Lingtai realm would not want to take a further step?
You must know that all mortals in the Lingtai realm can only live a hundred years at most. After cultivating the Lingtai realm, your lifespan can be doubled, and the maximum lifespan reaches 200 years. This is why the Lingtai realm is called the ancestor, because they are alive.
, you will find that all your descendants have died before you.
