Chapter 6 The Lost Son
"Mom passed away in the fifth year after you were in seclusion because you reached your life span..."
"The Battle of Pingyao and the Battle of Yuyan Mountain, the family suffered heavy losses. Xia Chao and Chao Zhao were all dead in that battle..."
Speaking of this, Lu Chaoxi's tone was filled with sadness.
Lu Qing was very heartbroken by his wife's death. His wife Ye Xincheng was also a casual cultivator, thirty years younger than him. The two met each other in a short while. Lu Qing was not very strong at that time, and he was able to support each other along the way.
However, Ye Xincheng is not a cultivator with good talent. His cultivation level is at the ninth level of foundation building. Lu Qing has found many treasures for her to assist in breakthroughs, but he has never broken through to the Qiming period.
The life span of the foundation-building period is about three centuries, which is about one hundred and eighty years old. Lu Qing couldn't bear to die too early, so he found many precious medicines for prolonging his life, but he didn't take it, so he gave it to Ye Xincheng. This made Ye Xincheng live a hundred years longer than an ordinary foundation-building monk.
If you cannot go further in the road to immortal cultivation, time will be more ruthless than anything else.
Lu Qing was mentally prepared for this. No matter what, Ye Xincheng died.
But Chaoxia and Chaozhao are different. They died at the hands of the Zhao monks.
After Lu Qing gave birth to his eldest son and named him "Chaoxi", he set the family genealogy rules. The descendants of the Lu family in Pingyao will sort the ten words "The court's clear text is wise, Sishu Yu Hou Guang" as the generation.
As the founder of the mountain, he himself was not included. His nine children, regardless of gender, were of the Chao generation.
He is a time traveler from the earth, and in this world of cultivation with strength, there is no tradition of favoring boys over girls. The powerful female monk is also an important member of the family.
Under his regulations, female members of the family will also sort by generation. Just to distinguish between men and women, the son always puts the word "Chao" in the middle, while the daughter puts the word "Chao" in the third character.
The "Xia Chao" mentioned just now is Lu Qing's third child and his first daughter; "Chao Zhao" is his eighth son.
Lu Qing remembered that before they were imprisoned, they were already monks in the Foundation Establishment Stage.
This is the real pain of losing a son.
At the age of three hundred, I suddenly heard that the three daughters and the eighth son had already left before him. Lu Qing still couldn't bear the emotions in his heart.
Thinking of the family's situation over the past 50 years, this pain mostly turned into hatred for the Zhao family.
"Zhao Zidan... I should have killed you first!" He thought hatefully in his heart.
After saying these things, Lu Chaoxi paused and did not hear any response from his father, so he continued to tell: "Later, something happened."
"Fifteen years ago, an evil demon came to the next door. A demon cultivator tore open the space and summoned the evil demons from here. The sect summoned all the vassal families, gathered the power of the county, and fought with those demon cultivators and demons, successfully wiped out and suppressed the demon chaos, but..."
Speaking of this, Lu Chaoxi's sobs were hard to hide: "But, two foundation-building monks died in our Lu family, and Tingfang and Tingying died in that battle..."
Lu Qing still remembers these two names.
Lu Tingfang is Lu Chaoxi's second son, Lu Tingying is Lu Chaoling's eldest son. Lu Chaoling is Lu Qing's fourth son.
These are all his legitimate grandchildren. Before he died, Tingfang was eight years old and Tingying was only four years old.
The family's situation has deteriorated in the fifty years after he was in seclusion. In this way, the two of them can still break through the Qi Refining Stage and enter the Foundation Establishment Stage, which shows that their talent and diligence are good.
The two of them should be the pillars of the next generation of the family. If they have abundant resources, it is not impossible to break through the Qiming period from the Foundation Establishment Period.
However, the two younger generations died in the battlefield of the devil.
After two major disasters, the deaths of five foundation-building monks, including Ye Xincheng, was a very important blow to an emerging family.
The Lu family's spine was almost broken.
Especially the deaths of Lu Tingfang and Lu Tingying made the younger generation cut off.
Now, there are only three foundation-building monks who are still alive in the Lu family, all of whom are from the Chao generation. Among them, Lu Chaoxi, the strongest, is still "having a stubborn disease and his life span has been greatly reduced". He cannot fight with others, and his future will almost be cut off. At the age of 109, he should be in his prime when the foundation-building monk is in his prime, but Lu Chaoxi is already old and will definitely not be able to survive the life span of the foundation-building monk at the age of 180.
After telling the bitter history of the family over the past fifty years, Lu Chaoxi couldn't bear it and shed tears.
In the family, he is the leader of the clan and naturally has to be majestic.
But in front of his father, the hardships, countless fears and self-blame that have supported the family over the past fifty years have surged into his heart, making it difficult for him to control himself.
He knelt on the ground and knocked towards the closed door: "Chaoxi is ashamed. Not only did he not bring his family to prosper, but he fell into this situation. Chaoxi is ashamed!"
Listening quietly to the eldest son crying. After he finished crying, Lu Qing sighed:
"Chaoxi, thank you for your hard work."
Lu Chaoxi regained his emotions and said, "Since my father can send a message to me, his injuries must have improved, and the family will have to suffer. I wonder how long you will be in seclusion, my father, before you can come out of the mountain?"
When Lu Qing heard this question, he felt a little sad.
He is now dead, but his consciousness is gone and he is born based on the system.
But this matter cannot be said.
"My injuries have not improved, and it is still a long way to go out of seclusion... However, I will never ignore the need for so many things in the family over the years. Although I cannot leave seclusion, there are some instructions for you."
"Please speak, Father."
"Today, can there be people from the sect come to the family to select disciples?"
"Yes." Lu Chaoxi was puzzled. He didn't talk about this matter to Lu Qing just now.
Lu Qing himself is a casual cultivator, not a Qingfeng Sect monk, and has the strength of the Golden Pill stage, so the Lu family has always been unique in the entire Feiyunzhou.
Although the Lu family in Pingyao is a vassal of the Qingfeng Sect, they are actually not close to the sect. It is just because they must express their attitude to a giant like Qingfeng Sect on this acre of three-point land in Feiyunzhou.
But in fact, the relationship between the two parties is more like a collaborator.
None of Lu Qing's children entered the Qingfeng Sect. There were no other generations under the Chao generation. All the monks were trained by the family themselves and served for the family.
This is unique among many families in Feiyunzhou.
Almost all families adhere to the dual-track system for providing talents to Qingfeng Sect and training themselves.
The cultivators trained by the family themselves belong to the family completely and can of course serve the family better. The clans sent to the sect will become cultivators of the sect, who must be stationed in the sect for many years, perform the sect's tasks, and serve the sect.
The difference between the two is very big.
But for ordinary families, there is no way to send talents into the sect. The family resources are limited and the cultivators who can be cultivated are limited. Some clans with very good talents will be buried in the family and cannot be cultivated.
These people are sent to the sect and have the opportunity to be better trained. Moreover, with families outside, these family children who enter the sect will of course receive more help.
The clans who entered the sect were still bleeding the same blood. They were helped by the family during their growth. When they succeeded in their cultivation, they would naturally feed back to the family.
For example, Zhao Zidan and the Zhao clan are like this.
But Lu never did this, and all the monks trained themselves.
But in the past fifty years, Lu Qing has disappeared and his biggest backer has disappeared. It would be inappropriate for Lu to maintain this attitude.
Lu Chaoxi is not unaware of this, nor has he tried to send some good seedlings into the sect, but he always can't.
He knew that the Zhao family was making trouble, and they had a great influence within the sect.
This time, Lu Chaoxi spent a lot of effort and a lot of spirit stones to open up the relationship within the sect and get this opportunity.
Unexpectedly, I would get my father's voice transmission today.
