……
“Dad, eh… eh, congratulations on your bloodline being promoted to the Holy Body, I want to reward you~~” After reaching the seventh level, Wang Lixian can already speak, with a sweet voice with some milky sounds. Milky.
Even though she has reached the seventh level, in terms of ideological maturity, she is not much different from a five or six-year-old human girl.
“This is all thanks to our Xian’er.” Wang Shouzhe said with a kind smile: “Xian’er, whatever reward you want, dad can think of a way.”
He is extremely doting on his daughter Wang Lixian, and is willing to do anything as long as it is within his ability.
“Eaaaah~~” Wang Lixian immediately became excited when he heard this, and said excitedly, “I have been too tired from studying recently, so I want to take a vacation from Eaa, and I will not go to the family to study Eaa within half a year~~~~ ”
Just after Wang Lixian reached the seventh level, she was arranged by Liu Ruolan to join the clan school.
However, considering that her body is a huge tree of life, she is also very busy on weekdays. She must not only gather spiritual energy as the core of the spirit gathering formation, but also practice with Wang Shouzhe.
Even if her body could be transformed into a smaller one, it would still be inconvenient for her to go to school every day.
Therefore, Wang Shouzhe specially asked her to branch out like a sapling and directly stationed in the clan school to receive formal education.
This is also one of the innate magical powers of the Tree of Life. The abilities of the branches are much weaker than the main body, but the senses are shared, and there is no problem in using them to feel the world and learn cultural knowledge.
Nowadays, the Wang family’s ethnology gentlemen have gradually become accustomed to teaching all kinds of small animals, and they are also used to Liu Ruolan inserting some strange species into the ethnography from time to time.
They have treated everyone equally.
Even if she is a tree or a fish, she cannot escape the daily ruthless destruction of ethnology teachers such as questions in class, endless exams, and extracurricular homework.
If someone’s academic performance fails, the person who deserves corporal punishment will still be punished. The homework will be doubled, and parents will be asked to talk to them.
This is the absolute power given to the family clan by the Wang family. Regardless of whether it is the elder Wang family or the clan leader and his wife, they must abide by the rules.
Wang Lixian is a tree, and her mind is not fully developed yet. How good can she be expected to do?
Wang Shouzhe and Liu Ruolan were basically invited to attend ethnic studies in turn from time to time. They were criticized by the ethnology teachers, who said that the linkage between ethnic studies and parents should be strengthened. Parents cannot let their children go. As the leader of the clan, they should You should take the lead.
This made Wang Shouzhe feel ashamed, and he had long wanted to find an opportunity to catch Wang Lixian’s study.
Therefore, when Wang Lixian mentioned this, his face fell down: “This is absolutely not possible. If I agree to this, your mother will never let me go.”
While speaking, Wang Shouzhe pulled out a stack of test papers: “Anyway, our practice has come to an end. When there is time, daddy will personally make up for you. These are test papers that daddy carefully prepared for you.”
“Bah, bah, bah, daddy, please cross the bridge and tear down the river~~~” Wang Lixian waved the branches in protest in grief and indignation.
“That’s called burning the bridge across the river. Xian’er, Xian’er, you have a lot of weaknesses in your homework.”
“Boom, hoo, hoo, I’m still young.”
For a moment, the scene of returning filial piety to a loving father and daughter suddenly became a scene of uproar and excitement.
This is one of Wang’s daily routines. No matter what time, Wang will never relax her children’s homework.
Another half month has passed.
Just when father and daughter were increasingly at odds with each other and were about to break away from their father-daughter relationship, a piece of bad news reached the Wang family.
After hearing the news, Wang Shouzhe immediately left Ping’an Town and temporarily entrusted Wang Lixian’s homework to Liu Ruolan. As for whether the two of them would cause a breakup between mother and daughter, Wang Shouzhe couldn’t care too much for a while.
One day later.
Hundred Island Guard, Zhongshan Island.
Zhongshan Island is where the main residence of the Baidao Zhong family is located.
During the growth of the Wang family, the Baidao Zhong family was an aristocratic family that could not be avoided.
Especially Brother Zhong Xingwang, Zhong, helped the Wang family a lot, which was a timely blessing for the weak Wang family at the time.
Wang Shouzhe was also very grateful to him. After the Wang family grew up, he started a lot of cooperation with the Baidao Zhong family, which made the Zhong family develop vigorously.
Unconsciously, the relationship between the two families became closer and closer.
This time the bad news came from Baidao Zhong.
The sea is endless.
The sky is as clear as a wash, with only a few wisps of white clouds floating in the wind. The sea is also rarely calm, reflecting the same color of the sea and sky, which is indescribably clear and blue.
Two red-crowned cranes with white feathers flapped their wings and flew elegantly across the sky at high speed. Behind them, a Spirit Wood Flying Chariot of high specification and seemingly extremely spacious was towed.
On the body of the flying chariot, there is an eye-catching emblem painted with golden lines. It is the emblem of the Changning Wang family, and it is also the exclusive emblem of Wang Shouzhe, the head of the Changning Wang family.
Drawed by the double cranes, the flying chariot was flying across the sky at an extremely fast speed in the direction of Zhongshan Island.
According to the conventional flying chariot route, the flying chariot must first arrive at Donggang along Anjiang, and then follow the route along the coastal road to Baidaowei.
This is also for the safety of the flying chariot.
You must know that when flying on the sea, the most feared things are sudden hurricanes, powerful flying beasts, and loss of direction.
There are ships coming and going on the route all year round, and the tyrannical beasts along the route have long been cleared away. The climate changes on the route are also monitored at all times. Even if there is a hurricane, it can be known in advance, and there are many navigation marks along the route, which is not easy. Losing direction can ensure the safety of the flying chariot to the greatest extent.
But Wang Shouzhe’s flying chariot set off from Ping’an Town, followed the land eastward, and directly crossed part of the outer territory and the sea in a straight line, so he was not afraid of any danger at all.
Because the two people sitting on this flying chariot are Wang Shouzhe and Longyan Patriarch.
Over the past few decades, the strength of the two of them has long been different from what it used to be. It is the ferocious beasts that should be feared, not them, because they can fly in such a straight line so boldly.
At this moment, many people have gathered on Zhongshan Island.
As the main residence of the Zhong family, Zhongshan Island has always been very lively, but today, there are particularly many people on Zhongshan Island. In the square near the port that was specially built to facilitate the landing of flying chariots, a flying chariot would land from time to time, making it extremely busy.
This situation occurred because the elder Zhong Xingwang of the Baidao Zhong family had exhausted his life span and was on his deathbed. These people are all here to see him off on his last journey.
Although Elder Zhong Xingwang is not a powerful figure in the Hundred Island Guards, he is still a prominent figure with a high status and a high reputation. In addition, he lived long enough and was always kind to others, so he was very popular.
In the entire Hyakushima Guardian family, large and small, there are many people who have received his favor.
At this moment, he was dying, and many eighth- and ninth-grade families came after hearing the news to pay him a last look, which not only showed their feelings, but also strengthened the human relationship with the Zhong family.
With so many representatives of aristocratic families coming, Baidao Zhong naturally had to send someone to receive them.
At this moment, in the square at the port, a young man and several juniors were welcoming guests.
This young man’s name is “Zhong Yuankai”, and he is one of the celestial beings carefully cultivated by the younger generation of the Baidao Zhong family. He is only over forty years old this year, but he has reached the third level of Lingtai Realm. He is one of the most influential figures among the younger generation within the entire Hundred Island Guard’s sphere of influence.
Facing many representatives of aristocratic families, he behaved gracefully and calmly.
Even under the deliberate flattery of all the Lingtai Realm family heads or ancestors, his posture was still humble and polite, but inadvertently revealed a strong self-confidence.
Indeed, compared to those Lingtai-level elders from eighth- and ninth-grade families whose potential has almost been exhausted, his starting point and the platform he stands on are completely different, and his mentality is of course different.
Suddenly.
Someone noticed the two cranes approaching rapidly in the sky.
“Fifth-level spiritual birds ride on flying chariots!”
At the port, the crowd suddenly became excited.
The ancestors of Lingtai, who were over a hundred years old and came from eighth- and ninth-grade families, no longer had the calmness of the past. They seemed to have seen some great spectacle. They were all so excited that their faces turned red. .
Their eyes were also full of excitement and envy.
It’s no wonder that the strength of the fifth-level spiritual bird is equivalent to that of a human Xuanwu monk in the Heavenly Realm. In terms of life level, those two spiritual birds were much higher than them.
The average ninth-grade family, let alone buying a fifth-grade spiritual bird, would not be able to afford it even if it were to raise it without breaking the bank.
In fact, even for a seventh-grade family, unless they are like the Changning Wang family who cannot judge by common sense, it will be very difficult to raise a fifth-grade spiritual bird.
Not to mention that two ends appeared at once, and it was only used to pull a flying chariot.
“It’s the car of the head of the Wang family in Changning.” Zhong Yuankai was so excited that he recognized the emblem on the flying chariot almost instantly, and hurriedly shouted, “Yuansheng! Hurry! Inform Ancestor Xiangyang to come and greet you.”
The young man named Yuan Sheng was about to run back obediently.
Zhong Yuankai reacted, took the initiative one step ahead of him, and ran towards the main house.
Yuan Sheng’s speed is too slow, he should run faster. The visit of the head of the Wang family is a huge event and cannot be ignored.
Unexpectedly, Zhong Yuankai had not even taken two steps.
In the direction of Zhong’s main house, there were two majestic heavenly and human auras rising up almost simultaneously, in no particular order, and flying rapidly towards this direction.
At the same time, there were two deep and powerful voices.
“The head of the Shouzhe family came to the Zhong family. Xiangyang was not welcomed from afar. Please forgive me for my sin.”
“I have met the head of the Shouzhe family for ten thousand years.”
At the same time as the voice fell, the two ancestors of the Zhong family, Zhong Xiangyang and Zhong Wannian, had already soared into the sky, greeted the flying chariot, and saluted from afar.
“It turned out to be the head of the Wang family in Changning who came in person…” The representatives of the small families at the scene suddenly started whispering, feeling shocked and excited at the same time.
The Changning Wang family is the most powerful person in Longzuo County.
Although they appear to be only sixth-grade families, everyone actually regards them as fifth-grade families. It is even said that the strength of many fifth-grade families in other counties is far inferior to that of the Wang family. After all, not only do they have a puppet in the Purple Mansion Realm, but they also have a seventh-level spiritual beast from the Zhen clan, the Yuanshui Qinglong.
The most important thing is that the Wang family is extremely rich and has led the entire South Six Guards to gradually prosper.
The Baidao Zhong family has made a lot of money in recent years by following the Wang family’s footsteps, and is already ambitiously preparing to hit the sixth rank within a hundred years.
After the Baidao Zhong family became rich, the eighth- and ninth-grade aristocratic families within the Baidao Guard, and even the low-grade aristocratic families, also benefited a lot. They also made a lot of money by going out to sea for fishing, cultivating seafood in the sea, clams and pearls, and other industries.
So much so that those small families who were not in the first rank began to cultivate “Lingtai species” in an attempt to break into the ninth rank. As for the Ninth Grade, they are beginning to train second and even third Lingtai Realm monks, planning to attack the Eighth Grade. As for those families who were originally at the eighth level, they were full of plans on how to advance to the seventh level.
In the final analysis, these are all taking advantage of Wang’s industrial chain.
Just when Zhongshan Island was boiling, the curtain on the flying chariot swung slightly, and a figure in a green shirt appeared in front of Ancestor Xiangyang without a trace.
It is Wang Shouzhe.
He returned the gift to Ancestor Xiangyang, and his gentle and humble voice rang out: “Ancestor Xiangyang, you are an old man, so don’t try to undermine Shou Zhe.”
When Zhong Xiangyang heard this, he smiled and supported Wang Shouzhe: “Shouzhe came to my Zhong family and made my Zhong family shine~”
After so many years, the oldest ancestor of the Baidao Zhong family has become old and will soon be promoted to the ancestor tablet of the Zhong family.
Following the trend, Zhong Xiangyang took a look at Wang Shouzhe and found that he still looked like a handsome young man. He was even more graceful and elegant than before, and his eyes were much deeper and calmer.
However, this is nothing.
What left him speechless the most was that he could no longer see through Wang Shouzhe’s cultivation, as if it were a bottomless cold pool.
The gap is too big.
It’s true that people have to die when comparing things with others, and things have to be thrown away when comparing goods.
After the two sides exchanged a few words.
Wang Shouzhe immediately looked solemn and got down to business: “Please, Patriarch Xiangyang, take us to see Brother Zhong for the last time.”
Us? Is that person also here?
Zhong Xiangyang glanced at the flying chariot and was shocked. Unexpectedly, that person also cares about his old relationship so much.
He did not dare to delay any longer and said quickly: “Master Shouzhe is coming with me.”
“Thank you, Patriarch Xiangyang.”
At this moment, two ancestors, Zhong Xiangyang and Zhong Wannian, led the way. Wang’s Double Crane Chariot did not stop at the port at all, but sailed all the way to the depths of the island, landing directly at the Zhong’s main house. among.
The ancestor Longyan then got off the flying chariot and greeted each other with the two ancestors of the Zhong family.
Then, under the leadership of the two ancestors, Wang Shouzhe and Longyan ancestors quickly arrived at Zhong Xingwang’s house.
Zhong Xingwang has never married a wife in his life, and the people waiting outside the door are his grandnephews and grandnephews.
Suddenly, the veiled Ancestor Longyan stopped.
There was a complex look in her eyes: “Shouzhe, go check on him first and then report to me.”
“Yes, ancestor.”
Wang Shouzhe responded.
Guided by the two heavenly ancestors Zhong Xiangyang and Zhong Wannian, he was quickly brought to Zhong Xingwang’s bed.
In front of the bed, several male nephews of Zhong Xingwang were guarding the bed. When they saw the three people arriving, they immediately stood up and saluted: “Greetings, ancestor.”
Zhong Xiangyang waved his hand, motioning for them to stand aside and not block the bed.
At this moment, Zhong Xingwang was lying on the bed, his eyes closed tightly, and he was breathless.
Wang Shouzhe didn’t bother to say hello to the juniors, and immediately stepped forward to grab his wrist. A ray of life’s origin mysterious energy followed his meridians and entered his body, exploring his condition.
Wang Shouzhe frowned and secretly said, “Not good.”
Brother Zhong has completely exhausted his lifespan and his vitality has been extinguished. Even the profound energy that is the source of his life is no longer able to save him.
Nourished and stimulated by this mysterious energy, Zhong Xingwang cheered up a little, raised his dull eyes and looked at Wang Shouzhe, and said weakly: “Shouzhe is here.”
“Brother Zhong.”
Wang Shouzhe’s expression was a little gloomy. He held his withered hand and thought of all the help Brother Zhong gave him when he was a young boy. He couldn’t help but feel sad.
“Shou Zhe.” Zhong Xingwang’s face flushed, as if he was having a flashback, and he was much more energetic, “Don’t be sad, your brother’s life is worth it!”
“Thanks to you for asking me for life-extending elixirs from Changchun Valley many times, otherwise I would have left long ago, brother.”
Under normal circumstances, the maximum lifespan of a Lingtai-level monk is two hundred years old, but this is a theoretical lifespan. In fact, there are not many Lingtai-level monks who can live longer than 190 years old.
Now Zhong Xingwang has lived for 218 years.
This is actually because Wang Shouzhe used the profound energy from the source of life several times to help him sort out his meridians and moisturize his blood, which greatly extended his lifespan.
However, Wang Shouzhe didn’t want his rare miraculous skills to help people extend their lives to be publicized and cause all kinds of unnecessary trouble, so he announced that he had obtained the longevity fruit and longevity pill from the Changchun Valley.
“Master Shouzhe.” Patriarch Xiangyang also consoled him, “Longevity is a destiny, and the fact that he can live to this day is all thanks to you.”
Ancestor Xiangyang also wants to extend his life, but he is now over 390 years old, which is considered to be extremely long-lived among the ancestors of the Heavenly Realm. Even if you spend a huge price to find the treasures of heaven and earth to extend your life, you will not live for a few more years.
It’s okay for him to think about it and leave some more money for his children~
“Brother Zhong, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?” Wang Shouzhe asked.
“My grandnephews are all fine. The Zhong family is taking care of them, so I don’t have to worry about them.” Zhong Xingwang shook his head, but looked at Wang Shouzhe, with a hint of hope in his eyes, “If you must If I have any wishes… I hope that my senior sister can break through to the Purple Mansion Realm as soon as possible and become the all-powerful Master of the Purple Mansion. Then she can live a wonderful and disaster-free life.”
“My ancestor has arrived, I will invite her in.” Wang Shouzhe said.
“Don’t!” Zhong Xingwang suddenly became very nervous when he heard this, “I don’t want my senior to see me looking so withered and ugly.”
However, before Wang Shouzhe could speak, the cold voice of Longyan Patriarch had already sounded in the room: “Zhong Xingwang, even before, I didn’t think you were that good-looking.”
“Study, senior sister…” Zhong Xingwang was embarrassed for a while.
“Shouzhe, Ancestor Xiangyang, please get out.” Ancestor Longyan’s voice sounded.
“Yes, Ancestor/Ancestor Longyan.” After Wang Shouzhe and others responded, they all retreated together with all the juniors, leaving only Zhong Xingwang.
Wait until everyone has left.
Ancestor Long Yan appeared in his room, and then waved his sleeves, and a vast icy mysterious energy surged up, sealing and isolating the entire room.
On the other hand, Wang Shouzhe and others were waiting outside the courtyard.
After waiting for a stick of incense.
The space around Wang Shouzhe fluctuated slightly, and Longyan Ancestor appeared out of thin air. His figure was as curling as an icy mist, making it impossible for anyone to catch it.
There was a hint of sadness that was difficult to conceal in her cold eyes.
“He went.”
“Ancestor, please show mercy.” Wang Shouzhe’s heart twitched, and he sighed to comfort Ancestor Longyan.
When Zhong Xingwang’s nephews and grandchildren heard this, they immediately rushed in and burst into tears.
“Ancestor Xiangyang, are there any ferocious beasts in the nearby sea?” Ancestor Longyan said in a cold voice, as if there was a rage in his heart that he could not vent.
Zhong Xiangyang’s old face froze, and he hesitated a little: “Five hundred miles south of the Hundred Island Guard, there is an evil dragon island, with a sixth-order evil dragon coiled around it. I have launched several sieges, but it has run away. , and later returned to Ejiao Island to cause trouble and retaliate, killing many fishermen of our Hundred Island Guard.”
“That’s it…Shouzhe, if you have nothing else to do, just see your junior brother off at Baidao Guard for the last time.” Patriarch Longyan said, “After I finish my work, I will go directly back to the Wang family for retreat. ”
As soon as she finished speaking, she casually took a step forward, and in the next moment she appeared above the Zhong family’s main house, and then turned into a frost-white shock and headed south.
“This, this, this… such a powerful aura, terrifying speed.” Zhong Xiangyang’s face was extremely shocked, “Could it be that Ancestor Longyan’s cultivation level… has…”
“This happened not long ago. Our Wang family does not want to publicize it to the outside world yet.” Wang Shouzhe said with cupped hands, “We also ask the two ancestors Xiang Yang and Wan Nian to keep it secret for us for the time being.”
“We must keep it secret.” Zhong Xiangyang and Zhong Wannian hurriedly responded.
At the same time, their hearts were as shocked as a turbulent wave.
The Longyan ancestor is not much older than Zhong Xingwang, right? This is the Purple Mansion! ?
In this case, wouldn’t the Wang family be a serious fifth-grade family?
If you add in the Wang family’s other fundamental strengths, they are not afraid even if they encounter a weaker fourth-grade family.
This made them deeply moved.
Once upon a time, the Wang family was still a small aristocratic family that needed to look up to them. But in the blink of an eye, it turned into such a behemoth that even the prosperous Baidao Zhong family could only look up at them.
This is really an amazing miracle~
……
At the same time as Wang Shouzhe and Baidaowei were seeing Zhong Xingwang off for the last time.
A large passenger and cargo ship sailed down the middle reaches of Anjiang River and into the lower reaches of Anjiang River.
The owner of this big ship was a casual practitioner. After many years of doing business, he gradually accumulated original capital, and his business grew bigger and bigger, so he simply bought a second-hand large ship and started a big business.
Because he also started as a foot merchant and thus made a fortune, the ship owner also took great care of the casual foot traders, allowing them to spend some money to ride on his ship or rent some cabins. Therefore, there is a mixture of dragons and snakes on this big ship, and everyone is there.
The bow.
Two old men were standing against the side of the boat, looking at the coast of Anjiang. Beside the two of them, there was also a girl with lively eyebrows.
Although the three of them were dressed simply, they still could not hide their luxurious temperament, which was quite different from the real merchants on the ship.
Especially the old man standing in the middle, standing there with his hands behind his back, gives people a feeling of being as unshakable as a mountain. It is obvious that he is not an ordinary person.
He looked at the high embankments along the Anjiang River and asked: “Is this the… ‘Anjiang Flood Control Embankment’ whose construction cost is so exaggerated?”
“Master.” The white-faced and smiling old man beside him replied, “Looking at the structure and scale, I’m afraid that’s it. Wang’s flood control engineering team has been repairing it for thirty years. At present, the Qianli River Embankment has cost 690 million gold…”
“Hmph, no wonder that guy Wang Shouzhe is jumping up and down, planning to carry out the Anjiang water conservancy project.” The dignified old man raised his eyebrows and muttered, “How much corruption was involved in the insecurity…”
These three people, the two old men are naturally Emperor Longchang and Lao Yao.
Now that [Di Zian] has been supervising the country for decades and has accumulated a lot of experience, he is completely able to handle government affairs independently. Emperor Longchang is becoming more and more leisurely.
When this person is idle, he is prone to make trouble.
The other “girl” dressed in ordinary clothes is Wu Xuening, the great genius of the royal family.
She has been practicing in the Holy Land these years. This time, he was supposed to go home to visit relatives, but he was caught by the playful Emperor Longchang and accompanied him in private for a private visit.
If calculated according to ordinary people, she is already in her forties, but she still looks like a girl. Locally speaking, many girls her age are already married, but by the standards of the capital city, she is still a child~
Wu Xuening said dumbfounded: “Old, ancestor, no, grandpa. I heard An Ye said that the Wang family built water conservancy at cost price. The Shouzhe family has paid a lot of money over the years. You don’t believe the Shouzhe family, Master , you can’t believe An Ye’s words, right?”
“Of course I believe An Ye’s words.” Emperor Longchang raised his head proudly and said dissatisfiedly, “However, I am afraid that An Ye will be deceived by some people. Wang Shouzhe’s guy is extremely cunning. The so-called return to the countryside to farm, That is to make progress by retreating. Which of Di Zian’s national policies to develop the economy does not have his shadow behind it?”
“In my opinion, they should stop writing letters all day long. Emperor Zi’an can simply move the court to Changning Guard~”
Every word he said was full of jealousy.
The emperor’s son, An Jianguo, did not ask for advice from him, an old emperor with more than 3,000 years of experience, but he flirted with Wang Shouzhe all day long. How could this make him feel so embarrassed?
Hmph, I have been an emperor for thousands of years, am I not as experienced as the emperor as Wang Shouzhe?
Isn’t the Wang family of Changning known as the “Lord Emperor” of Longzuo County? I want to take a closer look this time to see how he can manage his territory?
……
