Chapter 20 What Is a Family?

In the spring morning, the temperature on the top of Fangmu Mountain was very low, and the whole mountain was wet. Dewdrops fell one after another, hitting the leaves, the grass, and the ground.

Lin Shiming stood at a corner of the mountain and looked down the mountain. He saw the sea of ​​clouds spreading and rolling eastward.

To the east, a ray of early sun rose from the sky and broke through the sea of ​​clouds, which was spectacular.

This was the second day since Lin Shiming returned to Fangmu Mountain, and he was notified to wait here.

In the distance, a talisman flew over, turned into fire, and twisted with spiritual power, it became a string of words.

"Come to Qinglian Pond quickly, the old patriarch summons you!"

Lin Shiming did not dare to delay, and with the light body technique on his feet, he walked towards the bluestone path towards the higher part of the mountain.

At the Yixing Pavilion, a middle-aged man in green clothes was waiting for him. It was the second elder Lin Yuqi.

"The old patriarch is summoning you next to the Qinglian Pond. Don't keep him waiting for too long!"

"Okay, Second Grandpa!" Lin Shiming nodded, then walked past the pavilion and continued walking.

The further he walked, the more spiritual energy Lin Shiming felt. Fangmu Mountain is a third-level spiritual vein, and the Qinglian Spiritual Pond is derived from the spiritual vein, so the spiritual energy is the most concentrated in the entire Fangmu Mountain.

Soon, Lin Shiming saw a spiritual pond with a radius of 20 meters. Compared with the spiritual pond in Taohua Valley, the spiritual pond in Fangmu Mountain is larger, and the spiritual mist is more dense, giving a sense of a fairyland on earth.

In the center of the spiritual pond, lush lotus leaves float on the surface of the spiritual pond.

Next to the lotus pond, there is also a pavilion.

I saw a young man fishing in the pavilion.

But the strange thing is that the young man's hair is as pale as snow!

"Are you a descendant of Houyuan?" The young man saw Lin Shiming coming, picked up the fishing rod, turned it over, and put it into the storage bag.

"Reply to Seventh Uncle! It's Shiming!" Lin Shiming also understood at this time that the man in front of him, who looked almost the same age as him, was actually the old patriarch of the Lin family, Lin Xianzhi.

He looked much better than the rumors said.

"Come and sit down!" After Lin Xianzhi finished speaking, he took the lead and sat down at a stone table in the pavilion.

There was a chessboard on the stone table. The white pieces on the chessboard were obviously suppressed by the black pieces, and the black pieces were still eroding the white pieces step by step.

Lin Shiming walked over and sat in another seat according to Lin Xianzhi's arrangement.

In his mind, he was also thinking, could it be that he was asked to play chess.

But he was asked to play chess, and the black pieces continued to erode.

"Shiming, what do you think is a family?" Lin Xianzhi spoke first, and he was not talking about the chess pieces on the chessboard.

When Lin Shiming heard this, he was also stunned for a moment.

What is a family?

Lin Shiming really couldn't answer this question for a while.

Immortal cultivators often say, just seek the fate of immortality, don't ask about the future.

The word "seek" means to seek up and down! It means to dare to be the first, to dare to change the sun and the moon, to dare to fight with the sky, and to dare to fight with the earth!

In this case, how can we consider whether the road ahead is a smooth road or a thorny muddy road?

What about the family? Lin Shiming's heart was in chaos, and he couldn't find a correct answer at all.

Thinking carefully, are the family principles that I thought before really correct?

Just as people have a goal, what is the goal of a family cultivator?

"Don't worry, you can think about it more. Look at this white chess. Because he has no certainty of winning, he has not counterattacked! Instead, he has been eroded less and less!" Seeing Lin Shiming's hesitation, Lin Xianzhi continued to speak.

Lin Shiming focused on the chessboard again and found that the main combat power of the white chess was still preserved, and the loss was only the side branches and minor parts.

However, if you want to achieve a successful counterattack, it is not easy, after all, the strength gap between the white chess and the black chess is still there.

Lin Shiming couldn't help but think of the Lin family. The Lin family has been weak for so many years since the Purple Mansion family. How could it be possible if there was no one to lead from behind?

After all, the Lin family has the Xuan-level Purple Mansion skills, which can be cultivated to the Purple Mansion realm at the highest level.

He also thought of his seventh uncle, who has been suppressed and has been healing.

The seventh uncle is waiting for his injury to heal and return to the peak, and the Lin family is also waiting, waiting for an opportunity to rise, waiting for an opportunity to turn the situation around.

Then the meaning of the seventh uncle is obvious.

The Lin family has enemies, and they are still very powerful, asking Lin Shiming about his feelings and dependence on the family.

Of course, this also means that Lin Shiming is gradually moving up to the top of the Lin family and moving towards management.

In the immortal cultivation family, there are always some family members who are obsessed with the immortal cultivation path, thinking that the family will drag them down, and then go out to make a living alone.

There are three thousand immortal roads, and each takes one.

This is not uncommon. There was even a cultivator with a heavenly spirit root who left after helping the family become a Purple Mansion family, saying that the cause and effect are complete, and never appeared again.

This is too chilling for a family that has devoted all its efforts to cultivate a genius, but it is powerless!

"To reply to the seventh uncle, Shiming is dull and can only understand that the family is the root. I was born here and raised here. The family is like my Tao heart!"

"The family prospers, I prosper, the family declines, I decline!"

"So Shiming is willing to become the family sword and kill all enemies!" Lin Shiming spoke word by word.

And it was at this moment that his concept of family became much clearer.

Yes, as a family cultivator, he has been with the family since he was born. If he wants to reach the end of the real immortal road, the word family cannot be escaped.

"Well! Much better than your father's answer." Lin Xianzhi nodded and spoke again randomly:

"You should have guessed that our Lin family has a powerful enemy, the Zifu family!"

"I was also injured by those people, and I was poisoned. Although I have relied on the spiritual lotus roots and lotus seeds in the Qinglian Spirit Pond to suppress and dissolve most of the poison in the past 30 years, most of my meridians have been blocked, and my cultivation has even begun to regress, so I can't take action!"

"Fortunately, the second-grade top-grade spiritual wine you brought back this time can just heal hidden injuries, adjust meridians, and harmonize spiritual energy. It is estimated that it won't take long to restore the combat power of the middle stage of foundation building."

"I asked you to come here, and I mainly asked what reward you want?"

"To reply to the seventh uncle, the recovery of the spiritual wine this time was the work of the entire family. Shiming only contributed a little bit of Weibo power, so I dare not ask for a reward." Lin Shiming waved his hands repeatedly.

The family won this time, first the elders did their best, and then the uncles died. He dare not take credit.

He can't do such a thing.

"The family should have rewards and punishments. Since you don't say anything, I will give you a second-level high-quality flying sword!" Lin Xianzhi didn't wait for Lin Shiming to answer, and directly waved his hand, and a dark green small sword appeared in Lin Shiming's hand.

"This sword is called the Mo Lian Sword. I used it when I was young. Now it is just a commemorative meaning to me, so I will give it to you! I hope you will continue to work hard and set new heights!"

"In addition, you can practice here and break through the sixth level of Qi training!"

"Thank you, Uncle Seven!" Lin Shiming waved his hand and thanked him. He was also very happy about the old patriarch's suggestion to break through here.

You should know that there is a third-level spirit pool next to the spirit pool. If you practice and break through here, not only will the speed be twice as fast, but it will also be easier to consolidate your cultivation.

But before that, Lin Shiming still has two things to ask.

"Seventh uncle, Shiming has something I don't know. I wonder if I can ask Seventh uncle to help me identify it." Lin Shiming took out the magical pavilion door stone. He originally wanted to look for it in the Sutra Building of the Treasure Pavilion, but now that the experienced Seventh uncle is here, it will be faster for him to see it.

"Huh!" Lin Xianzhi took a look and was obviously frightened by the stone's absorption of spiritual consciousness.
