Family Cultivation: Evergreen of the Song Family

With Song Changsheng's personal witness, Song Changxuan sentenced those law enforcement officers who had previously committed dereliction of duty.

The five people who took advantage of their positions to bully their own people had their cultivation abolished, but considering their past contributions and the fact that they had not done anything irreparably evil, they were not exiled to the wilderness, but sent back to the mortal world to live out the rest of their lives in peace.

But their descendants are still implicated by them, and the three generations below them are not allowed to participate in the Ascension Conference.

The sixteen who accepted bribes and protected others were punished with lashes, the two deacons were each given fifteen lashes, and the other fourteen were each given ten lashes, and they were never employed again.

The remaining people were sentenced to flogging, facing the wall, and salary deductions according to the degree of their violations.

The verdict was not immediately executed after it was handed down. According to Song Changsheng, punishment alone was not enough and the lesson had to be deeply remembered. Therefore, he ordered Song Changxuan to publicly execute these people in front of the Soul Lamp Hall to serve as a warning to the rest!

After leaving the Law Enforcement Hall, Song Changsheng still couldn't calm down for a long time. The word "power" was too easy to corrupt people's hearts.

Among those law enforcers who were punished today, which one of them was not upright and strict with himself when Song Qingxing was in charge?

But Song Qingxing had only been away from home for a year, and these people had become like this.

If it was just unfair, lax and unjust, it would be fine and could be rectified. But there were actually people who dared to attack their own people. This was something Song Changsheng absolutely could not tolerate, so he was so angry.

Fortunately this time the incident was handled in time and no major disaster occurred, otherwise at least a few people would have lost their lives.

Although the mistake was corrected in time, this incident also sounded a wake-up call for Song Changsheng.

The Song family has been established for five hundred years, and the number of cultivators in the family is approaching the thousand mark, and the business is expanding day by day.

In the past, the family was in decline, surrounded by enemies and without any backing. For the sake of resources and survival, all family members clung to each other like pomegranate seeds, regardless of their personal gains and losses, honor and disgrace, and were willing to make sacrifices, focusing on strengthening the family. There were rarely any struggles for power and profit.

Although the Song family was in a precarious situation at that time, the Song family members were determined to make progress and they respected and loved each other, which reduced internal friction within the Song family and allowed them to devote all their energy to dealing with the wolves and tigers from the outside world.

He pacified Lingzhou, Dingyangzhou, and expanded Xiangzhou and Tuozhou.

The Song family did not fall into despair, but rose again, destroyed the Wuling Sect, overthrew the Lieyang Sect, and forced the Rong family to close down for a hundred years.

People in the outside world say that the Song family is what it is today because of Song Changsheng.

But Song Changsheng never thought so. Without the protection of his elders, the support of his fellow clansmen and a stable and progressive family as a backing, how could he have achieved what he has today?

Although his soul came from another world, his feelings for the Song family were real.

He hopes that the Song family can be passed down for thousands or tens of thousands of years, just like those holy places and ancient clans, and passed down from generation to generation.

And the Song family has been moving in the direction he expected.

Destroying enemies and maintaining good diplomatic relations eliminated external threats to the Song family.

Expanding the territory and developing commerce will allow the Song family to no longer worry about basic cultivation resources.

Encourage childbirth, absorb talents, and ensure that the Song family has a constant supply of fresh blood.

……

This series of measures ushered in a golden period of development and growth for the Song family.

But at such a moment, such a vicious incident of bullying one's own people occurred, which Song Changsheng absolutely could not tolerate.

He didn't understand.

When conditions were so difficult in the past, everyone was able to stay true to their consciences and respect and love each other.

Now that they have settled down and their living conditions have improved, how come they have lost these precious things?

"It seems... I am still too comfortable..."

As Song Changsheng was walking on the bluestone path, these words suddenly popped up in his mind.

He suddenly thought of a saying from his previous life: "Build dams before floods arrive, and sharpen knives before jackals arrive."

This person just can't live too comfortably.

Having enemies is not necessarily a bad thing. Hatred can make everyone work together, which can not only reduce internal conflicts within the family, but also greatly promote the development of the family.

There is a book that says: "In times of peace, be prepared for danger. If you think, you will be prepared. If you are prepared, you will avoid danger."

The current atmosphere in the family must change. Although the enemies from the early years have been destroyed, it does not mean that there will be no threats in the future.

Let’s talk about something closer.

The Blood Demon Cult is like a centipede, which will not die even if it is cut into pieces. Although it has suffered heavy losses many times, it has taken root in the Da Qi cultivation world for many years and has a solid foundation. It only needs to concentrate on developing for a period of time and it may make a comeback at any time.

The Song family has made great efforts in dealing with the Blood Demon Cult and has now been targeted by the Blood Demon Cult. If the Blood Demon Cult stirs up trouble in the future, the Song family will definitely be the first to bear the brunt.

In addition to the Blood Demon Cult, there is also the Haoran Alliance, which has always been keen on making trouble everywhere. The Song family is also entangled with them. The last time the Lieyang Sect and the Rong family besieged Cangmang Peak, it was the work of the Haoran Alliance.

It is said that when the beast tide from the demon realm attacked, the Haoran Alliance was also present.

Although this is an alliance formed by independent cultivators, it is powerful and its influence is spread throughout the Da Qi cultivation world. In Song Changsheng's opinion, its threat is comparable to that of the Blood Demon Cult.

Over the years, they have seized the spiritual treasure that guards Baicaotang, and they have been involved in most of the subsequent turmoil in the Da Qi cultivation world.

It can be said that this group of people have become a wanted and hunted existence in the Da Qi cultivation world, just like the remnants of the Blood Demon Cult.

But even in this situation, the location of the Haoran Alliance’s headquarters has still not been discovered, and the major forces have very little information about the Haoran Alliance.

Being able to achieve such a degree, there is no problem in putting them on par with the remnants of the Blood Demon Cult.

Although he didn't know what this group of people were trying to do, Song Changsheng had a hunch that they just wanted to cause chaos in the Da Qi cultivation world, and a big chaos at that. Everything they did over the years proved this point.

But it is unclear what benefits this chaos will bring to them.

These two rats hiding in the gutter both have grudges against the Song family and have their eyes on them.

No matter how scary a jackal is, it is only in the open. No matter what it does, there are traces to be traced. But these are two poisonous snakes hiding in the dark. You never know when they will attack you, making it hard to guard against.

In addition to these two major concerns, because of Su Ding, the Jinwu Sect will most likely become the enemy of the Song family in the future.

Perhaps it was not an enemy, but a disaster. After all, Song was as weak as a baby in front of the Jinwu Sect and had no power to resist at all.

It was with this in mind that he had been committed to maintaining the relationship with Luoxia City.

These are the immediate worries, but there are also those that are far away.

Just like the Thunder King Palace, when the Eighth Judge came with such force, if Bai Zhengchun had not intervened, the fate of the Song family would have been unpredictable.

Although we don't know why they didn't take any action later, we can't ignore them. They are still a big threat and we have to guard against them.

In addition, as the Song family grows stronger, the surrounding forces will inevitably feel threatened, leading to conflicts. This is also a potential threat.

You don't know until you calculate. Once you calculate, you will be shocked. It is far from time for the Song family to relax. Threats are everywhere and may erupt at any time.

The peaceful appearance of the Da Qi cultivation world over the years has deceived too many people. But this is just the calm before the storm.

Once this storm breaks out, no one in the entire Da Qi cultivation world will be able to stay out of it. Whether they will be reborn or destroyed in the storm will depend on their strength.

Song Changsheng understood this principle, Mu Guibai understood it, and the leaders of all major forces understood it, so they were taking advantage of this period of time to improve their strength with all their might, making preparations as much as possible, and waiting for the storm to come.

The Song family is still very weak and lacks the ability to survive the storm. They should now do everything they can to strengthen themselves in order to survive in the future.

But these people don't understand. They only focus on the little profits in front of them and actually bully their own people for their own selfish desires.

As law enforcers, what they did damaged people's hearts and the trust of their clan members in the family.

It’s not scary to fall to the bottom, and it’s not scary to have nothing, but if people’s hearts are scattered, then it’s really over.

The Song family is not large now, so it is easy to manage and any problems can be easily detected.

But as the family grows, the stall will spread wider and wider, there will be more and more people, and there will be more and more parasites. They will unite and turn him into a deaf and blind person!
For all major forces, one thousand years is a major hurdle, and five thousand years is another hurdle.

A force that lasts for a thousand years is common, but a force that can be passed down for more than five thousand years is extremely rare.

How many years has the Song family been around?

Only five hundred years.

If we don't take this as a warning, this family will probably be in ruins within a thousand years.

Thinking of this, Song Changsheng turned and walked towards the back mountain.

Inside the underground palace, the reserve secret guards carefully selected by Song Qingshi were practicing diligently, discussing with each other and verifying what they had learned.

Someone suddenly said, "The patriarch is here."

The original atmosphere in the hall was instantly destroyed. Everyone became excited and looked outside the door.

Thanks to the ideas instilled in them since childhood, Song Changsheng is now almost like a "god" in their hearts.

As long as Song Changsheng gives the order, they can go through fire and water for him at any time!

Under the expectant gazes of the crowd, Song Changsheng walked in slowly with a dignified look.

"We are waiting to meet the clan leader!"

Everyone knelt on one knee and saluted respectfully.

"Everyone, please get up."

Song Changsheng held his hands in the air and spoke in a calm yet dignified voice.

"Thank you, patriarch!"

Everyone stood up in unison.

Looking at the more than twenty figures in front of him, Song Changsheng's heart was filled with relief. The family's investment over so many years finally paid off.

These are geniuses picked from hundreds of thousands. They have gone through numerous rounds of screening and finally became a member of the Hidden Hall of the Wind Whisper Palace.

Their talent and loyalty to their family are unquestionable.

Similarly, Song Changsheng has the strongest control over them.

"Ahem, everyone, the people whose names I'm going to call out please stand over here."

Song Qingshi appeared out of nowhere and shouted to everyone present: "Jiang Ling, Chen Yu, Li Heng, Chen Qingzhou, Shen Yuan, Liu Jixian, Sun Ying, Wang Hao."

He called eight people in a row. Although they didn't know what to do, they had learned the word "obey" over the years. They soon came in front of Song Changsheng and stood in a row.

"Patriarch, please come this way. You guys follow me."

Led by Song Qingshi, everyone came to a secret room on the right.

Song Changsheng, Jiang Ling and others went inside, while Song Qingshi guarded outside.

After taking the first seat, Song Changsheng said softly, "Sit down."

"Thank you, patriarch!"

Everyone sat down on the chairs. Because they were wearing devil masks, their faces could not be seen clearly, but from their eyes, it could be seen that they were very excited.

“You may be wondering why I called you here.

It’s nothing, I just found a new job for you.”

Hearing this, everyone showed a puzzled look in their eyes, but they still said, "Please give us your orders, Chief!"

"Very good. I intend to set up an inspection department, which will be directly under the command of the clan leader and responsible for investigating all matters within the clan. From clan elders to ordinary clan members, all will be within the scope of inspection.

And you are the first group of supervisors I selected."

Song Changsheng stood up and said in a deep voice: "Would you like to be my eyes and ears?"

"I'm willing!"

Everyone's eyes were filled with excitement. The Inspector was directly responsible to the clan leader and had the power to supervise the entire clan. Compared to the secret guards, there was simply a world of difference between them.

Seeing this, Song Changsheng showed a look of satisfaction.

The reason why he came to Yintang to select people was not a decision he made on impulse, but was the result of careful consideration.

Being an Inspector is an offensive job. A family is a society based on personal relationships, and members of the family will have some concerns, which may lead to concealing or weakening the facts.

These people are different. They are all from outside the clan and have no contact with those in the clan. They have no personal connections with them, so naturally they will not be partial.

Moreover, they are directly responsible to Song Changsheng and will completely hide in the dark from now on. No one except him and Song Xianming can find them, and no one else can order them, not even Song Qingshi.

"Very good, from today on, you will officially leave Yintang. In the next period of time, I will teach you personally." Song Changsheng said seriously.

This can be considered a benefit to them, and also a means for him to win the hearts of the people.

After his teaching, these people will become his disciples and their loyalty will be greatly improved.

Sure enough, after hearing his words, everyone's eyes showed excitement...

Afterwards, they were taken to a secluded place. After Song Changsheng gave them some instructions, he went into the weapon refining room and started tinkering with it by himself.

The Song family members were completely unaware that there were already pairs of eyes behind them...
