Ancestor Above

"Mother passed away in the fifth year after you retreated because of reaching the end of life..."

"The battle of Pingyao and the battle of Yuyan Mountain caused heavy losses to the family. Xia Chao and Chao Zhao both died in that battle..."

Speaking of this, Lu Chaoxi's tone was filled with sadness.

The death of his wife made Lu Qing very sad. His wife, Ye Xincheng, is also a loose cultivator, thirty years younger than him. The two had known each other since Wei Mo. At that time, Lu Qing was not very strong, and they supported each other along the way.

It's just that Ye Xincheng is not a very talented cultivator. Her cultivation base stops at the ninth floor of the foundation building. Lu Qing has found many treasures for her to help her break through, but she has never broken through to the enlightenment period.

The life span of the foundation-building period is about three Jiazi, which is one hundred and eighty years old. Lu Qing couldn't bear the premature death of his wife's wife, so he looked for a lot of longevity medicines, but he didn't take them, and gave them to Ye Xincheng, which also made Ye Xincheng live a hundred years longer than the average foundation-building cultivator.

If you can't go further on the road of immortal cultivation, time will be more ruthless than anything else.

Lu Qing was mentally prepared for this. No matter what, Ye Xincheng is dead.

But Chaoxia and Chao Zhao were different. They died at the hands of the Zhao cultivators.

After Lu Qing gave birth to the eldest son and named him "Chaoxi", he set the family tree rules. The descendants of the Lu clan in Pingyao will be sorted by the ten characters of "the court is clearly written, and Sishu Yuhouguang" as the character generation.

As the originator of the mountain himself, not counting his nine children, regardless of gender, will all be of the Chaozi generation.

After all, he is a traveler from the earth, and there is no tradition of prioritizing patriarchs over women in this world of cultivation based on strength. Powerful female monks are also important members of the family.

Under his regulations, the female members of the family will also be sorted by alphabet. Just to distinguish between males and females, sons put the word "Chao" in the middle, and daughters put the word "Chao" in the third word.

The 'Xia Chao' mentioned just now is Lu Qing's third child and also his first daughter; 'Chao Zhao' is his eighth son.

Lu Qing remembered that the two of them were already monks in the Foundation Establishment period before they closed their doors.

This is true bereavement.

Three hundred years old, Lu Qing still had a hard time holding back the emotion in his heart when he suddenly heard that the third daughter and eight son had already left before him.

Thinking of the family's 50-year situation, most of this pain has turned into hatred for the Zhao family.

"Zhao Zidan... I should have killed you first!" He thought bitterly in his heart.

After talking about these things, Lu Chaoxi paused and didn't hear any response from his father, so he continued: "Later, another thing happened."

"Fifteen years ago, a demon came to Xuecheng County next door. A demon cultivator ripped apart the space and summoned heretic demons. The sect called all the vassal families, gathered the power of the whole county, and joined forces with those demon cultivators. , The heretical demons fought a battle, and successfully suppressed the demonic chaos, but..."

Speaking of which, Lu Chaoxi's sobbing could not be concealed: "However, our Lu family lost two foundation-building cultivators, and both Tingfang and Tingying died in that battle..."

Lu Qing also remembered these two names.

Lu Tingfang is the second son of Lu Chaoxi, and Lu Tingying is the eldest son of Lu Chaoling. And Lu Chaoling is the fourth son of Lu Qing.

These are all his direct grandchildren. Before he retreated, Tingfang was eight years old and Tingying was four years old.

The family went from bad to worse in the fifty years after his retreat. In this way, the two of them can still break through the Qi refining stage and enter the foundation building stage, which shows that their talents and diligence are very good.

The two of them should be the pillars of the next generation of the family. If resources are abundant, it is not impossible to break through the enlightenment period from the foundation-building period.

However, the two juniors just died on the battlefield of the chaos.

After two major disasters, including Ye Xincheng, the death of five foundation-building cultivators,

For a new family, this is a very big blow.

The Lu family's spine was almost broken.

In particular, the death of Lu Tingfang and Lu Tingying made the younger generation break.

Today, there are only three cultivators in the Lu family who are still alive, all of them of the Chaozi generation. Among them, Lu Chaoxi, who is the strongest, still has a stubborn illness, and his longevity is greatly reduced. The 109-year-old should be the time when the foundation-building cultivator was in full bloom, but Lu Chaoxi was already very old, and he would definitely not live to the 180-year-old life span of the foundation-building cultivator.

Telling the 50-year bitter history of the family, Lu Chaoxi couldn't bear his emotions and wept endlessly.

In the family, he is the head of the family, and naturally he has to be majestic.

But in front of his father, the hard work of supporting the family in the past 50 years, the countless fears of danger, and the worsening self-blame all came to his heart, making him unable to control himself.

He knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the closed door: "Chaoxi is ashamed, not only did he not bring his family to prosperity, but instead fell into this situation, Chaoxi is ashamed!"

Quietly listening to the eldest son cry, after he finished crying, Lu Qing let out a long sigh:

"Chaoxi, you've worked so hard."

Lu Chaoxi regained control of his emotions, and then said, "Since my father can transmit sound to me, it should be that his injury has improved, and the family has to suffer. I don't know how long your father will be in retreat before you can come out?"

Hearing this question, Lu Qing felt a little sad.

He is now dead himself, but his consciousness has not entered the cycle of reincarnation, relying on the system to live.

But this can't be said.

"My injury has not improved, and it is still a long way to go out of the customs... However, there have been so many things in the family over the years, and I will not ignore it anymore. Although I can't leave the customs, there are some instructions for you. ."

"Father, please speak."

"Today, can someone from the sect come to the family to select disciples?"

"Yes." Lu Chaoxi had doubts in his heart, he didn't tell Lu Qing about this just now.

Lu Qing himself is a loose cultivator, not a cultivator of Qingfengmen, and has the strength of Jindan period, so the Lu family has always been unique in the entire Feiyun Province.

Although the Pingyao Lu Clan is a vassal of Qingfengmen, it is actually not very close to the sect, just because in Feiyunzhou this one-third of an acre, he must express his attitude to the behemoth of Qingfengmen.

But in fact, the relationship between the two sides is more like a collaborator.

None of Lu Qing's children entered the Qingfeng Gate. There is also no Tingzi generation below the Chaozi generation. All monks are cultivated by the family themselves and serve the family.

This is the only one among the many families in Feiyun Prefecture.

Almost all clans adhere to the dual-track system of sending talents to Qingfengmen, plus self-cultivation.

The monks cultivated by the family themselves belong to the family completely, and of course they can serve the family better. The clansmen who are sent to the sect will become sect monks, who will be stationed in the sect all the year round, perform the tasks of the sect, and serve the sect.

The difference between the two is huge.

But for ordinary families, there is no way to send talents into the sect. The family resources are limited, and the cultivators that can be cultivated are also limited. Some clansmen with very good talents will be buried in the family and cannot be cultivated if they are not sent to the sect.

These people are sent to the sect, and they have the opportunity to be better cultivated. Moreover, there is a family outside, and these family children who enter the sect will of course get more help.

The clansmen who entered the sect still bleed the same blood, and they were helped by the family in the process of growing up.

Just like Zhao Zidan in the Zhao family, that's it.

But the Lu family never did this, and all the monks cultivated themselves.

But in the past 50 years, Lu Qing is gone, the biggest backer is gone, and the Lu family still maintains this attitude, it is very inappropriate.

It's not that Lu Chaoxi didn't know this, and it wasn't that he didn't try to send some good seedlings into the sect, but he always couldn't.

He knew that it was the Zhao family who were playing tricks, and they had a lot of power in the sect.

This time, Lu Chaoxi took a lot of effort and spent a lot of spirit stones to get through the relationship within the sect and get this opportunity.

Unexpectedly, he would actually receive a voice transmission from his father today.

Lu Qing has always been very disgusted with sending his own family members to the sect. Now Lu Chaoxi is a little bit worried, worried that his father will forcefully reject this matter.
