Family Cultivation: Evergreen of the Song Family

The meeting lasted until dusk.

Song Changsheng redistributed all aspects of Lingzhou's resources. In the end, the Song family almost controlled 70% of Lingzhou's spiritual veins and 50% of its minerals.

[Wutong Secret Realm] and [Wangyuefang City] are even controlled by the Song family.

In addition, he also monopolized the entire spiritual plant trade in Lingzhou.

Lingzhou finally welcomed its former owner!
After the meeting, Song Changsheng approached Song Xianming.

"grandfather?"

Song Xianming looked up at him, nodded and said, "Here you go, you did a good job today."

"What happened?" Song Changsheng had a premonition that something big must have happened.

"It's someone from the Thunder King Palace. The incident at White Wolf Mountain was discovered..." Song Xianming sighed quietly, and then briefly narrated what happened.

Song Changsheng frowned immediately after hearing this. There is no airtight wall in the world. He was not surprised that Lei Wangdian would find out that the incident at Bailang Mountain was caused by the Song family.

But the arrogance of this Thunder King Palace was somewhat beyond his expectation. As an external force, he actually wanted to destroy the Song family with just one mouthful. Did he really think that there was no one in the Daqi cultivation world?
"Grandpa, my grandson thinks that Luoxia City should be notified of this matter as soon as possible, and the Fumo Palace should also say hello. In addition, I think it is impossible that only Lingzhou has a stronghold of the Thunder King Palace, and the news should be spread out so that other people can be concerned about it. Pay attention to."

With the strength of the Song family, there is really no way to fight against a behemoth like the Thunder King Palace, but Song Changsheng can take advantage of the situation.

The Song family is currently under the protection of Luoxia City, and with the great city lord Jin Dan as a deterrent, the other party does not dare to attack the Song family unscrupulously.

Even if the Thunder King Palace is more powerful than Luoxia City, don't forget that there are also the Golden Crow Sect and the Tianmai Sect. Although they are fighting for some interests, the most basic tacit understanding is to work together to the outside world.

Even if they have no feelings for the Song family, they will support the Song family at critical moments.

Coupled with Song Changsheng's intention to spread what Thunder King Palace did in Bailang Mountain, this matter will definitely cause an uproar in Daqi's cultivation world. Keeping mortals in captivity for cultivation is absolutely intolerable to all righteous monks.

As long as similar situations are found in other places, the Thunder King Palace will become a place that everyone wants to fight. At that time, the enemies of the Thunder King Palace will change from the Song family to the entire Daqi cultivation world.

In this way, the pressure faced by the Song family will be minimized.

"Well, I think so too, and have already asked Lu Zhou and the others to do it.

Speaking of which, I really have to thank this inspector. If he hadn't taken the initiative to expose his whereabouts and revealed this information to us, he would have been passive in the future. "Song Xianming's fingers gently tapped the armrest of the seat, but he still couldn't figure out why the other party did this.

"No matter what the opponent's purpose is, it's just a matter of soldiers coming to cover up the water and the earth. All in all, we can't just sit back and wait for death." Song Changsheng was very open-minded, after all, such a result had been expected a long time ago.

"Haha, you are right." Song Xianming chuckled and stood up. After breaking through the Zifu stage, his life level ushered in a leap, gaining more lifespan and a more energetic body.

But during this period, he often felt like he was in his twilight years.

"It's time to hand over the stage to young people." Song Xianming murmured to himself.

One generation does its own thing. When he took over the position of patriarch from the previous patriarch Song Yunhan, he was determined to restore the family to its former glory.

This goal has now been achieved in his hands, and the next thing to do is to push the Song family to a new peak!
But he has lost the spirit of the past, which is detrimental to the development of the Song family. They need a more spirited leader!
Song Xianming turned his gaze to Song Changsheng, with relief in his eyes. This was the successor he chose. He was very satisfied, and so were his clan members.

They all firmly believe that he will lead the family to new heights!
"Son, when you get back, prepare to take over from me. This world belongs to you young people after all. It's time for us old guys to take a rest." Song Xianming said with emotion.

Song Changsheng was slightly startled when he heard this. Although he knew that such a day would come sooner or later, he was still a little hesitant when this day actually came.

Can I really live up to the expectations of my clan members?

he does not know.

The road ahead was full of unknown fog, making him feel at a loss...

As Song Changsheng expected, after the news of what Thunder King Palace did in Bailang Mountain became known, the major forces in Daqi's cultivation world took the lead in starting self-examination.

The first person to discover the problem was Luoxia City. Due to the previous beast tide, the mortal world under Luoxia City was also affected, causing considerable losses. Many people were missing at that time.

Originally, he thought that these people had been poisoned by monsters, but after receiving the news from the Song family, the more Zhan Tianxia thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, so he sent people to investigate the news about missing persons in Bianzhou.

If you don’t check, you won’t know. Once you check, you will be shocked to find that in the past hundred years, the number of missing people in Bianzhou has reached as many as one million!
It's just that the incidents were very scattered and the number was not large at one time, so they did not attract enough attention. Who knew that when gathered together, it would turn out to be such a shocking number?

Zhan Tianxia was furious and sent people to thoroughly investigate the entire border state. They soon discovered three strongholds established by the Thunder King Palace, but the number of mortals rescued was less than 10,000, because they had just sent away a batch, and these were just The "seeds" they left behind!
Such a result made Zhan Tianxia tremble with anger. At the end of the interrogation that day, he personally crushed the captured criminals to ashes and made the results of the investigation public.

In an instant, the whole world was in an uproar.

The forces that were not too concerned about this at first became very energetic and almost turned the Daqi cultivation world upside down.

The Thunder King Palace's major strongholds in Daqi's cultivation world suffered devastating blows, leaving only a few hiding in corners and shivering.

It is worth mentioning that in this vigorous attack on the Thunder King Palace stronghold, it was not the Thunder King Palace that suffered the most serious losses. Instead, it was the Blood Demon Sect and the Haoran Alliance that had been hiding in the dark and suffered unparalleled disasters.

Fortunately for the Haoran Alliance, most of them are casual cultivators, hidden among the crowd. Their identities are not easy to define. They are just removed from a few gathering places.

The Blood Demon Sect was in dire straits. Several branches in several states were uprooted, and the losses were no less severe than the last sneak attack on Luoxia City.

The most frightening thing is that this incident also caused a chain reaction. Before this, most people thought that the Blood Demon was just a remnant of the Blood Demon Sect that was lingering in the Daqi cultivation world.

But after this incident, they were shocked to find that almost all the nineteen states of Daqi had branches of the Blood Demon Sect, and even the territory controlled by the Demon-Conquering Palace was not immune.

This discovery slapped everyone in the world hard. This group of remnants of the Blood Demon Cult had grown into a behemoth without knowing when.

During this period, neither the Demon-Conquering Hall nor the Golden Crow Sect discovered it, which made people feel shocked and angry but also a little scared at the same time.

As a result, Daqi's cultivation world launched another campaign against the Blood Demon Sect, but in the end little was gained. When the news surfaced, the Blood Demon Sect began a major shift and completely went into hiding in the dark.

At this point, the Daqi cultivation world, which had been in turmoil for nearly three months, gradually became calm.

And the culprit who caused all this ushered in his succession ceremony at Cangmang Peak...

The sky is clear and cloudless, the sun is high in the sky, birds are flying and insects are chirping, and everything in the world is full of vitality.

With the dull bell ringing, Song Changsheng, who was dressed in costume, pushed out the door of the General Affairs Hall and slowly walked towards the Soul Lamp Hall, led by four monks of the "Lu" generation holding different utensils.

Behind him, there were two rows of monks of the "Qing" generation dressed in white, headed by Song Qingxi and Song Qinghong. They were carrying long swords and followed step by step, solemnly and solemnly. The only sound was the rustle on the white jade floor. .

On both sides of the road were law enforcement hall disciples dressed in black attire. They held flags embroidered with their family emblems and stood solemnly on both sides, like green pines, standing still in the wind, watching the team leave. At noon, the team arrived in front of the Soul Lantern Hall on time, exactly on time.

The square in front of the Soul Lantern Palace was now full of people, most of them were members of the Song clan, and a few were guests invited to watch the ceremony.

Compared to Song Xianming's Zifu Grand Ceremony, there were much fewer people coming this time, not because they meant to disgrace the Song family, but because that was the Song family's clan rules.

The succession ceremony of the clan leader is a major event for the family. It requires sacrifices to ancestors and delivery of tokens. There is no room for any mistakes during this period, so those who can be invited to come are allies or friends of the Song family.

There are only a few people including Wang family, Luoxia City, Yuan Tianshu, Jiang Shuming and others.

Although the number of people is small, the size is not small.

In front of the Soul Lantern Hall, Song Xianyun's face glowed red and he shouted loudly: "The auspicious time has come, please young clan leader to enter the hall to worship the ancestors!"

Song Changsheng stepped forward, straightened his clothes with a solemn expression, and gently opened the door of the Soul Lamp Hall. The bright sunshine shone on the soul lanterns, coating the hall with a layer of golden light.

As far as the eye can see, thousands of soul lanterns are distributed in a ladder, and the top few circles have all been extinguished. Behind each soul lantern is a spiritual tablet, representing each lost life.

Most of the soul lamps of the "immortal" level were extinguished, leaving only a few.

Most of the level with the character "路" was also extinguished.

The largest number of people left are the "long" and "qing" generations.

And at the front, there are several brand-new soul lamps, which belong to the monks of the "You" generation.

This Soul Lantern Hall can be said to be a microcosm of the Song family's five hundred years of history. A small soul lamp represents a person's certificate of coming to this world.

In the center of the hall, a tall figure was kneeling on a bright yellow futon. He was facing a desk with four spiritual tablets and a soul lamp placed on it.

Song Changsheng looked solemn as he came to Song Xianming's side and slowly knelt down.

"knock--"

Song Xianming chanted softly.

The two of them kowtowed together, each movement appearing to be meticulous.

"rise--"

"knock--"

……

After nine consecutive times, Song Xianming stood up, took out a jade slip, unfolded it, and said in a measured tone: "Song Xianming, the fifth-generation patriarch of the [Wangyue Song Family], informed his ancestors that the current Qilin son Song Changsheng is the grandson of his great-grandfather. My grandfather's great-great-grandson, my father's great-grandson, my eldest grandson, and Song Luyan's eldest son.

He has excellent character and excellent understanding, is close to his own clan, respects his elders, devotes himself to the family, works conscientiously, and does not care about life and death.

Internal rewards and punishments are clear and impartial.

Externally, he is upright and decisive, neither humble nor overbearing.

Recommended by the tribe, he is now the sixth patriarch of the family. I hope that the spirit of the ancestors in heaven will bless the family and protect the Song family for thousands of generations. "

After saying that, Song Xianming bowed respectfully, put the jade slip into the brazier that had been prepared, and watched as the jade slip was swallowed up by the fire and turned into a thin line of blue smoke.

The grandfather and grandson watched this scene quietly until the smoke dispersed.

"Boom..."

The bell rang again, and four monks of the "Lu" generation, holding purple trays in their hands, filed in and stood in a row behind the two people.

Another person came in with a red tray, with a handkerchief and a basin of water on it.

Song Xianming first cleaned his hands in the basin and dried them with a handkerchief. Then he picked up a purple and gold crown from the first purple tray and put it on Song Changsheng's head solemnly.

This is one of the four major tokens of the Song clan leader [Purple Gold Crown]. This object is a symbol of the clan leader's identity.

Then he picked up a foot-long black-yellow ruler from the second tray. Song Changsheng picked it up with both hands and raised it above his forehead.

This is one of the four major tokens of the clan leader [the Ruler], which gives the clan leader the right to punish clan members.

Next came a thick purple costume, which Song Xianming personally put on Song Changsheng.

This object is one of the four major tokens of the clan leader [sacrificial clothing], and it is a symbol of the clan leader’s status.

Finally, there was a white jade plaque three inches long and one inch wide. Song Xianming solemnly hung it on Song Changsheng's waist.

This is one of the four major tokens of the clan leader [identity token], which gives the clan leader the supreme power to take charge of all family affairs.

At this point, Song Changsheng officially succeeded as the sixth patriarch of the Song family under the witness of his ancestors!
"Place a stick of incense for your ancestors." Song Xianming handed over a stick of incense.

Song Changsheng nodded silently and came to stand in front of the spiritual tablet in the center. The spiritual tablet read "Song Taiyi, the First Generation Patriarch".

The two spiritual tablets on the left are "Second generation patriarch Song Chuer" and "Third generation patriarch Song Yungui" respectively. The spiritual tablet on the right is "Fourth generation patriarch Song Yunhan", and the soul lamp is engraved with "Fifth generation patriarch Song Xianming".

When Song Xianming passes away, there will be a memorial tablet for him here.

Song Changsheng bowed respectfully and inserted the fragrance in his hand into the incense burner.

After doing all this, Song Xianming picked up Song Changsheng's soul lamp, thought about it, and placed him next to "Song Yungui".

Among the five patriarchs, Song Changsheng and Song Yungui have the most similar behavior styles. Song Xianming hopes that Song Changsheng can be like him in the future and lead the family to new heights!
"Let's go out and meet the clan members." Song Xianming patted Song Changsheng on the shoulder, his eyes filled with relief.

Along the golden avenue paved by the sun, Song Changsheng slowly appeared in front of everyone, wearing a purple gold crown, sacrificial robes, a ruler in his hand, and a token hanging on his waist.

At this moment, all the monks from the clan, old and young, bowed down together and shouted: "We are waiting to meet the clan leader!"

……

ps: I always felt that it was almost meaningless. I changed it a few times and gave up the struggle. You can just take a look. (End of chapter)
