The Rise of the Shen Family

In late spring, the warm lake wind blows from the surface of Zhenze Lake, bringing the moist breath to the top of Yangshan.

At this time, in a courtyard on Yangshan, a group of immature children were gathering here. The youngest of them was just six years old, and the oldest was already eight years old.

At the same time, outside the gate of the courtyard, the parents of these children are waiting eagerly one by one.

After half a stick of incense, the door of the house in the courtyard was slowly opened, and an old man in gray came out.

"You will come in one by one, remember not to make noise!"

The old man looked at them and said in a very serious tone.

The group of children in the courtyard immediately stopped talking, and everyone looked at the old man in gray with some fear.

However, in the inconspicuous corner of this group of children, a boy's eyes flashed a rare resolute color.

It didn't take long for the old man to start reciting in the order on the list.

"Shen Huan!"

When the old man's old voice entered the boy's ears, he immediately reacted and walked out of the crowd.

After the grey clothed old man glanced at him, he said lightly:

"go in!"

Hearing this, the boy walked into the room behind the old man with excitement.

The room was dark and seemed a little empty.

When the boy slowly took a few steps inside, he found a white-haired old woman sitting quietly on the chair in the deepest part of the room.

"Come here and put your hand on this!"

After realizing that someone was coming, the white-haired old woman slowly opened her eyes and spoke to the boy.

Unlike the serious gray-clothed old man outside, the old woman's voice was very soft and kind, which made the little boy feel very comfortable after listening to it.

After a while, he looked in the direction pointed by the white-haired old woman.

I saw that there was an ordinary low table, and there was a crystal clear jade plate on the table.

After seeing the radiant jade plate, a hint of curiosity flashed in the boy's eyes.

I saw that he slowly stepped forward and put his hand on the jade plate.

When his hand touched the jade plate, a cold feeling hit his heart, and then there seemed to be a suction force that firmly adsorbed his hand on the jade plate.

After realizing this change, the boy immediately became nervous, and quickly wanted to withdraw his hand.

"Don't be nervous, it'll be fine in a while!"

The white-haired old woman smiled, and then injected a spiritual power into the jade plate.

With the injection of this spiritual power, the boy felt a warmth slowly coming from his palm towards him.

When he was a little intoxicated, the jade plate suddenly emitted a bright light!

Immediately afterwards, the white-haired old woman's face immediately showed a look of joy, and even her eyes looked at the boy with a hint of relief.

"Yes, yes, I didn't expect that the first child this year would be a child with spiritual roots!"

Hearing this, the boy's eyes flashed with joy, then he looked up at the white-haired old woman, and asked timidly.

"Then I am... Can I cultivate immortals?"

"That's natural, but you need to ask the foundation-building cultivator on the mountain to help you check it carefully!"

The white-haired old woman smiled kindly and answered him happily.

"Okay, you go to the back room and stay there first!"

heard,

The boy suppressed the joy in his heart and walked towards the room pointed by the old woman.

After the boy left, the children outside the door came in one by one and put their hands on the jade plate, but unfortunately, more than 90% of them could not make the jade plate light up again.

And those of them who didn't light up the jade plate all showed disappointment after being told that they had no spiritual roots and could only be an ordinary mortal from now on.

Soon, the twenty or so children gathered in the courtyard had all left, leaving only the little boy and another girl.

I saw that the white-haired old woman took out two yellow talismans from her arms and handed them to the two of them, and slowly said:

"The two of you will live here first, and at the same time, you can try to cultivate the mental method on paper first, and I will take you to a place in a few days!"

After the boy took the "heavy" talisman paper from the old woman's hand, his breathing quickened.

He knew that this should be the thing that would allow him to set foot on the path of immortality!

...

Three days passed like this, and a bullock cart slowly drove down from Yangshan Mountain, heading towards Yunbi Peak in the north.

At the same time, in the past few days, each of the three villages and towns of Chang'an, Yongning and Chengtang also drove out a carriage, heading for the majestic and sacred mountain.

...

When the rising sun slowly rose from the east, Shen Ruiling in the cave mansion behind Yunbi Peak also ended the night of meditation practice.

I saw that after he slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, he stood up from the mat, opened the cave door and walked towards the ancestral hall at the top of Yunbi Peak.

Today is the day when the family surveys Linggen for the young clan, and he, the acting patriarch, naturally wants to help them explore Linggen.

The census of the spiritual roots of the Shen family is usually carried out every three to four years. At that time, the spiritual roots of all the children of the Shen family between the ages of six and ten will be carefully checked.

The first is to let the guard monks in various mortal villages and towns gather all the children in the station together.

Then use a simple magic tool to select the few people who have spiritual roots from them, and then send them to Yunbi Peak together.

And when all the children with spiritual roots in the family have gathered on Yunbi Peak, the foundation-building cultivators of the family will check their spiritual roots one by one again to determine their spiritual root aptitudes and the exercises they practice.

At the same time, these children will be renamed, and their names will be recorded in the family tree of the Shen family!

...

I saw that Shen Ruiling's figure soon appeared in the family's ancestral hall. He first bowed to the portrait of Yu Cang's ancestor hanging there, and then bowed to the row of tablets of the Shen family's ancestors. bow.

"Bless the ancestors of the Shen family, I hope that this time the family can have more true spiritual root cultivators!"

Shen Ruiling prayed silently in her heart.

After doing all this, he slowly sat down in front of the ancestral tablet, opened the genealogy page by page, and quietly waited for the arrival of those tribesmen.

Soon, a little boy walked in from the door and looked at Shen Ruiling who was sitting there with a look of awe.

Although Shen Ruiling did not release any breath, UU reading www. uukanshu.com But the aura of the base-building cultivator had already scared the boy.

"Little guy, what's your name?"

Looking at the boy who walked in, Shen Ruiling asked with a smile.

"My name is Shen Huan!"

Although the boy was a little timid, he still said loudly.

Hearing this, Shen Ruiling couldn't help but nodded slightly, and then began to look at the information about the boy.

After a few breaths, Shen Ruiling's face showed a touch of excitement, and he quickly raised his head to look at the little boy.

Judging from this information, this boy is actually the descendant of the old husband and wife Shen Huanming who have already sat down!

In the flood that year, Shen Huanming was hit so hard by the third-order monster crab that his dantian was destroyed, and he died a few years after returning to the family.

And his wife died a few years later.

Although their husband and wife had several children in their early years, it is a pity that none of their children and descendants had spiritual roots before the two of them died.

And when Shen Ruiling went to visit their old couple, Shen Huanming also begged him to help take care of their younger generation.

Shen Ruiling did agree, so after the couple sat down, they also quietly went to see their descendants in mortal villages and towns.

And he also specially asked the local guard to help him take care of these descendants of Shen Huanming's old couple.

Unexpectedly, today, a descendant with spiritual roots finally appeared among the descendants of Shen Huanming's old husband and wife!
