Chapter 5 Dad!
"father!"
Hearing the sound in his mind, Lu Chaoxi was stunned for a moment, and then was ecstatic!
My father, who had been in seclusion for fifty years and had no movement at all, actually sent a message to him!
At this moment, his tears almost burst out!
This is his real father! If his real father had woken up early, the Lu family would not have fallen to this level!
"Dad, are you out of seclusion?" He hurriedly replied with a message, but no message came.
"Dad? Are you talking?"
Still no response, which even made him feel that he had auditory hallucinations just now.
Of course that is impossible!
Putting down what he was doing, he immediately came out of his cave and rushed to the back mountain.
After a little time, he arrived at the forbidden area in the back mountain.
Outside the forbidden area, two Lu clan members guarded here.
There are two people guarding the family here at all times, saying that they are protecting the law for the ancestors, but in fact... they just look at the door.
Lu Mings and Lu Mingpu's two cousins, when they saw someone rushing towards him quickly from a distance, they were nervous at first.
Although this is Yuyan Mountain and their Lu clan's base camp, the family's situation is not good now. Who would say whether there would be foreign enemies invade? If it disturbs the retreat of my great-grandfather, it would be a crime of death.
But when the man approached, they immediately recognized the old and familiar figure.
"Class leader Bo Gong?"
Lu Chaoxi stopped in front of the two of them with a sword and asked, "This month is Mins, Mingpu, you two are on duty?"
"yes."
"Is there any abnormality today?"
The two looked at each other, and the older Lu Mings said, "Report to Mr. Bo, there is no."
Lu Chaoxi stroked his long beard with his hands, and he was confused.
If his father had left the seclusion, Lu Mingsi and Lu Mingpu would not have noticed it at all.
However, since my father asked him to enter, let's talk about it first.
"I'll go in and visit the ancestors. You two are very happy to be guarded outside."
"Yes.", "Yes."
Although they didn't know what great-grandfather, who had not been moving for fifty years, had something to visit, but whatever the patriarch said was.
They made way, and Lu Chaoxi also put away his magic sword and walked inside.
He pushed open the door and walked through a deep down passage while lit the braziers on both sides. After a while, he reached the door of a deep iron gate.
It's Lu Qing's retreat room inside.
"Dad?" Lu Chaoxi stood at the door and called inward, "Chaoxi is here."
A voice came from inside: "Yes."
Lu Chaoxi was overjoyed: "Dad, how are you in good health now? Can you get out of seclusion?"
If Lu Qing can leave the seclusion and the Jindan Ancestor returns to his family, most of the difficulties faced by the family will be solved.
"Not yet." Lu Qing's voice came from inside, "I just woke up for the time being and continued in seclusion."
Of course he couldn't get out, and he still had a ball when everyone died!
But it is impossible to talk about this matter outward, so I can only continue to stay in the retreat room in the name of retreat.
Lu Qing can speak casually in the retreat room without spending karma. People who stand within three or five meters in front of the retreat room can hear it. If you are a little further away, or if Lu Qing is not in the retreat room, if you want to communicate with your tribe, you can only use the system's voice transmission function.
Before Lu Chaoxi could continue to ask questions, Lu Qing said: "What happened in the family over the years? Let me talk to you about it."
Suppressing the disappointment in his heart, Lu Chaoxi began to tell the story of what happened since Lu Qing went into seclusion.
...
Fifty years ago, Lu Qing was in seclusion and no longer came out of the mountain. The family was in turmoil. A lot of savings were used to buy healing relics for him, and there were many deficiencies. Although the family was powerful at that time, it was only a few decades after establishment, and its foundation was far from enough. This wave was actually very hurt.
The following ten years were the ten years when the family slowly recovered its vitality.
But Lu Qing's ten years did not make any noise about coming out of the mountain, which attracted some greedy eyes from the outside world.
The Zhao family, also in Anling County, is gradually eroding the interests and industries of the Lu family.
The Zhao family is an old family in Anling County. There are many monks. The family has been passed down for a long time and has a strong foundation. Although there is no Jindan monk in the family, there is only one Qiming period monk, but Zhao Zidan, the oldest Jindan elder in Qingfeng Sect, comes from the Zhao family.
The personal relationship between Zhao Zidan and Lu Qing is very bad.
The conflict between the two Jindan ancestors above will inevitably extend to the family. In addition, if they are in Anling County, the family interests are in conflict, so the relationship between the two families will naturally not be good.
When Lu Qing was still there, the Lu family had a slight advantage. The fundamental reason is that Lu Qing was much younger than Zhao Zidan. Fifty years ago, Zhao Zidan was already 400 years old. The life span of the Golden Pill period was not far away, and it was obvious that the Nascent Soul was hopeless. Lu Qing was only in his 250s, and it was self-evident that which of the two had more prospects.
But Lu Qing's situation is very different when he is locked up.
The situation was fine in the ten years before retreating; ten years later, Zhao's small movements became more and more blatant as time went by.
Because Lu took into account Zhao Zidan, a Jindan monk, and his ancestor was in vain and did not make any movement, he could tolerate most of the things and would not cause conflicts.
Thirty years ago, the Zhao family entered Pingyao County.
Pingyao County is a mortal city.
There will also be some scattered cultivators in this world, and low-level cultivators will be involved in it. However, the city itself is basically a vassal of nearby cultivation forces and is under the dual jurisdiction of the court. Pingyao County is the territory of the Lu family. They protect this city and accept the worship of the city. In the past, Pingyao County could bring about a profit of thousands of spirit stones to the Lu family every year, which is a very important part of the family's income.
Everything else can be tolerated, but when Zhao entered Pingyao County, he was digging his own lifeline, so Lu of course couldn't bear it anymore.
The two families began to have more severe frictions around Pingyao County. In the past ten years, many monks and tribesmen died on both sides, and the conflicts further deepened.
The Lu family gradually fell into a disadvantage in the competition for Pingyao County, and their control over the city continued to decline. The entire Lu family was very anxious about this. Several senior members of the Chao and Ting family made desperate decisions after discussion.
They suddenly attacked, and almost all the monks of the Lu family were mobilized, attacking Pingyao County, trying to drive the Zhao family out of the city in one fell swoop.
However, the Lu family was defeated. Even though Zhao Zidan did not take action due to his identity as a cultivator in the sect, the Lu family still failed to defeat the Zhao family with a deep foundation.
Then, Zhao took advantage of the situation to pursue and once attacked Yuyan Mountain.
Relying on the four-star spiritual vein as the energy-supplying mountain formation, Lu guarded the mountain gate to death. However, during the five-year siege, the power of the spiritual vein was consumed too much, severely shrank, and degenerated into the two-star spiritual vein, and the mountain-supplying formation was about to be broken.
This is a great crisis of extermination.
In the end, the conflict between the two sides caused Qingfeng Sect.
Both of them are their own vassal families, so they will not really let one of them destroy another.
The Qingfeng Sect not only persuaded the Zhao family to retreat, but even gave Pingyao County, which had been half-destroyed by the war, to the Lu family, and strictly ordered the two sides not to have large-scale conflicts with each other. This matter ended here.
However, after this battle, the Lu family's vitality was severely damaged, and their weakness was immediately exposed.
The family was almost wiped out, but Lu Qing never came out of the mountain, which is very telling.
The Lu family’s greatest reliance in Anling County has never been seen again. Even rumors like “Lu Qing has long been dead” are believed by many people.
The Lu family fell sharply.
