On a hilltop outside Qingzhu Mountain, a three-foot-long flying sword flew over from a height of dozens of feet.
Lin Xingli looked tired, and with five mortals, the speed was too slow. After three days of stopping and walking, he finally rushed back to his family.
For half a quarter of an hour, the sword stopped outside the clan-protecting formation and stopped moving.
The people on the Spirit Sword looked puzzled and did not dare to ask any more questions.
Lin Xingli stood up, stood on the sword, took out his identity token, and fired a spell.
A ray of blue light disappeared into the invisible and colorless light curtain.
Half a breath passed, and a hole opened in the formation. Lin Xingli controlled the sword and flew into the formation, and the hole quickly returned to normal.
The five people looked nervous. They were finally arriving at the place where they had lived for a long time. Everyone was both nervous and excited.
On the way, I imagined what kind of paradise Qingzhu Mountain would be, and what kind of rare and exotic animals we would see.
When the spirit sword flew towards the formation, flying for several miles in a row, in addition to the huge main peak of Qingzhu Mountain in the distance, all it saw were small valleys and patches of bamboo forests, with a faint thick fog filling the valleys. Floral.
Everyone was very surprised. They originally thought that Qingzhu Mountain was just a small hilltop with hundreds of houses gathered together.
I didn't expect that the clan's land occupies such a large area, covering an area of nearly a hundred miles, and there are not many people living in the periphery.
As we went deeper into the clan land, we finally saw many large buildings, exquisite small courtyards, small bridges and flowing water. The scenery was charming, and it was far from being as simple as the ordinary world.
The courtyards on the mountainside are dotted on the main peak, which has a unique flavor. From time to time, tribesmen will fly across the mountain quickly with flying swords on their feet.
During the flight, Lin Xingli briefly introduced the history of the family to several young girls, as well as the layout of the clan, the important halls, and some core members of the Presbyterian Church.
Just the most basic information was an eye-opener for several people. Everyone listened attentively, not daring to miss a single thing.
Finally, when it comes to their brothers and sisters of the same generation, when it comes to Lin Tianming, even Lin Xingli, as Lin Tianming's elder, can't help but feel ashamed.
Huzi could tell from his expression that Lin Tianming, the member of the Tianzi generation whom Lin Xingli was talking about, their sixth brother, must be extremely talented and definitely not an ordinary person.
Lin Xingli's brief introduction helped several people know a lot more about the Lin family. They seemed to be less anxious and had a stronger sense of belonging to the Lin family.
As half an hour passed, several people appeared in front of a solemn hall, which was the family council of elders.
Lin Xingli was the first to jump off his sword, and the five others followed him.
Putting the spirit sword into the storage bag, he led a few people into the hall.
At this time, there were more than 20 people present in the hall.
High up in the hall, the clan leader Lin Shihua and the master of the Chuan Gong Hall, Lin Shigang, were sitting high up. There were several members of the Xing generation clan sitting on both sides of the hall.
In the center of the hall, stood ten boys and eight girls.
Lin Xingli entered the hall and bowed respectfully to the two people at the top.
"Xingli pays homage to the seventh uncle and the clan leader."
Lin Shihua and Lin Shigang smiled and responded a few words at the same time, and Lin Xinghua also spoke.
"Xingli, thank you. Sit down and rest, and then report the results of the spirit test. Brother Qi will record it."
"Yes!"
Lin Xingli sat aside and ordered the five Huzi people to stand among the crowd.
Taking out the recorded animal skins from the storage bag, Lin Xingli started to report.
The Qingfeng Town Spirit Testing Conference ended, and one person with three spiritual roots, two with four spiritual roots, and two with five spiritual roots were detected.
……
Half a quarter of an hour passed, and Lin Xingli briefly reported the entire process of the Qingfeng Town Soul Detection Conference.
"Is there a Sanlinggen?"
Lin Shihua seemed a little surprised.
You must know that except for the outer areas of Qingzhu Mountain and the immediate family members of the Lin family monks, the other five major towns have not had three spiritual roots in decades.
Not only was the three spiritual roots detected, this person also had such a high affinity for metals and was extremely talented. It was indeed an unexpected listening to Lin Xingli's report, Lin Shihua and Lin Shigang were very happy and praised Lin Xingli for doing a good job.
"Xingli, you have completed this spirit testing task very well. You will be rewarded with [-] good deeds. After settling them, go to the good deeds hall to receive them. I will say hello to Brother Ten."
"Xie Patriarch!"
Lin Xingli bowed to Lin Shihua and the other two, and then gave instructions to the five Huzis.
"Why don't you come over quickly to meet the clan leader and Grandpa Seventh!"
The five Huzi people stepped forward one after another and paid homage in unison:
"Junior generation pays homage to the patriarch, and pays homage to Grandpa Seventh."
"Well, not bad!"
Lin Shihua admired the few people and planned to give Huzi a name so that he could integrate into the Lin family as soon as possible.
"Hu Zi, you are born with the character "Tian". Since you have the character "Tiger", I will name you Lin Tianhu. What do you think?"
Huzi didn't hesitate at all. When he entered the Lin family, he naturally wanted a name. This was a good name, so he thanked Lin Shihua profusely for the name.
Lin Shihua was very satisfied. In this Lin family spirit testing conference, a total of 23 clan members with spiritual roots were detected, including two with three spiritual roots, six with four spiritual roots, and 15 with five spiritual roots. Among them, a three-spirited person appeared in Qingfeng Town. Spiritual roots, two of the four spiritual roots. Not only are there many people, but the quality of the spiritual roots is also high, which is really rare.
In contrast, the number measured in Qingfeng Town alone was only one less than the number under Qingzhu Mountain plus the direct descendants of the clan, which was unexpected.
In the past hundred years of spirit testing conferences, more and more tribesmen have shown spiritual roots. If this continues, in another hundred years, there will be more and more members of the Lin family, and more and more tribesmen with good talents will be there.
As the number of clan members increases, the resources needed become larger and larger. Thinking of this, I feel that the burden on me is getting heavier and heavier.
After seeing everyone, Lin Shihua and his two men will stand up and lead the clan members to the back of the attic.
In half a moment, a group of tribesmen appeared in front of a green-yellow attic. The place was very quiet, and a hint of Zen fragrance came to them.
Looking at it, the entire attic is actually made of Qingling bamboo material, which looks extremely simple.
The quaint attic here is the Lin family ancestral hall, which has been built for nearly 800 years.
Lin Shihua took out a family token, opened the restriction, and led everyone in.
In the attic, a statue several feet in size stands in the center of the attic, with thousands of spiritual tablets arranged in an orderly circle.
Lin Shihua lit three Zen incense sticks, led everyone to worship their ancestors, and bowed respectfully to the statue three times.
After the worship was completed, Lin Shihua took out a jade book and jade pen. The surface was surrounded by golden light, and it turned out to be a spiritual weapon.
Lin Shigang ranked the new tribesmen according to their bone age. After checking each person, he read out their names.
Upon hearing Lin Shigang's name, Lin Shihua wrote down the names one by one on the books in his hands.
He didn't stop until everyone's names were read out. Lin Shihua pinched his fingers and made a spell that fell into the book.
Holding the book, he walked up to each clan member and asked each person to drop a drop of blood into the book.
At this time, the name just written suddenly glowed with golden light, flickered for a few times and then disappeared.
After the process of worshiping ancestors and entering into the family tree is completed, the young man whose soul is detected will be considered a real member of the Lin family.
Lin Shihua walked up to the juniors and gave serious instructions.
"Qingzhu Mountain will be your home from now on. You will be surrounded by brothers and sisters. During this period, you will practice with Grandpa Seven. He will help you choose exercises and guide you in your practice. Remember to work hard and strive to introduce Qi into your body as soon as possible. Become a qualified monk and contribute to the family!"
"Yes"
All the younger generation clan members answered respectfully.
Lin Shihua nodded and said to Lin Shigang: "Seventh Brother, these juniors will be left to you. You will be responsible for arranging their food, clothing, housing and transportation. The family's various benefits will be paid out on time."
Lin Shigang nodded in agreement, reassuring Lin Shihua. After all, he had taken care of his clan members more than ten times and was already familiar with the family's rules.
The clan members left the ancestral hall, and Lin Shigang led the juniors to leave the Presbyterian Church and walk towards the Chuan Gong Hall.
