Qinghe Immortal Clan.

Chapter 106 Bad news at home

Not a few days after returning to Funiu Mountain, another major event in Qinghe County reached the Song family gate.

After the Qian family occupied Chifengling, in order to increase their strength to guard this second-level spiritual vein, Qian Guangyao issued a reward order in Qinghe County and invited casual cultivators from all directions to Chifengling to assist them in guarding the spiritual mountain.

The reward order issued by the Qian family is different from the recruitment order issued by the Huang family. The recruitment order is an order issued by the master family to the dependent families. This order is mandatory. As a subordinate Qi refining family like the Song family, it cannot refuse the master's order. The family must be recruited, otherwise they will be met with disaster.

The reward order issued by the Qian family is the same as the mission that the Liu family invited them to go to the Fuyun Mountains to hunt the second-level monsters. At this time, it is just an employment relationship. Accepting the task is completely voluntary, and there are not many mandatory requirements. , the reward given will also be higher.

After seeing the high price offered in the Qian family's reward order, not only the casual cultivators in Qinghe County, but also many cultivators from the Qi Refining family like the Song family were also moved here by the spirit stone.

For a while, many monks gathered on Chifengling. Although they were attacked by several second-level monsters, they were all defended by the Qian family without any danger.

It's just that in order to hire those powerful casual cultivators, the Qian family offers relatively high prices. Although the Qian family has some background, it will be difficult to persist for too long if it continues like this. The Qian family will face bankruptcy in at most half a year. crisis.

For this reason, Qian Guangyao did not hesitate to mortgage several of the original Qian family's mineral properties and Qinghefang shops to other families. More than three months later, a second-level formation was deployed on Chifengling, and then the reward order was ended.

After his thirteenth uncle Song Changxiong broke through to the late stage of Qi refining, he was also a restless master. Not long after he finished his retreat, he went to Chifengling with a few friends to hang out for two months and earned a lot of spiritual stones. With no more employment tasks around him, he reluctantly returned to Funiu Mountain.

However, some people were not as leisurely as him. Song Qingming, who had just returned to Funiu Mountain, had not yet taken a breath when he received the bad news from his home at the foot of the mountain that his father was seriously ill. He could only rush back to his home in Mujiao Town.

Song Dezhang is nearly sixty years old, which is considered quite old among mortals. In the past few years, he has developed many problems with his body and bones. Half a month ago, the road was slippery on a rainy day and he accidentally fell in his yard. All of a sudden he was lying on the hospital bed.

Song Dezhang could not speak for half a month, and his condition was getting worse day by day. The Song family invited many doctors to come for diagnosis and treatment, but they failed to achieve any results. They could only inform the monks stationed in Mujiao Town about the matter, and wanted to notify Song Qingming to return. Go home and see if there are any other options.

Unfortunately, Song Qingming was still on Wufeng Mountain of the Huang family at this time, and he didn't find out about this until he returned to Funiu Mountain.

Song Qingming used his own magic power to explore his father's body and found that several important internal organs in Song Dezhang's body had been seriously damaged. He was approaching the end of his life. It was not easy to survive until he came back.

Faced with the expectant look in his mother's eyes, Song Qingming could only helplessly shake his head. Although he was a cultivator, the spiritual objects in his hands could only cure diseases and eliminate disasters, but could not make flesh and blood grow on the bones of mortals. A high-level elixir that brings the dead back to life.

In Song Dezhang's current condition, rashly consuming elixirs for treatment would not have much effect, and might hasten his death. Song Qingming could only go to the clan to exchange some medicine for Song Dezhang to take, trying to alleviate some of his pain.

Half a month later, white flags began to be hung everywhere in the Song family. Song Dezhang, who was very reluctant to leave his relatives around him, finally passed away.

In recent years, the Song family has become a famous family in Mujiao Town. In addition, Song Qingming also intended to let his father die in a more prestigious manner, so Song Dezhang's funeral was naturally very grand. For several days in a row, all the people coming in and out of Song's house were people from nearby Mujiao Town who came to pay their respects. The sound of suonas and gongs and drums expressing the grief of their loved ones never stopped from morning to night. Song Qingming even went to the mountain to invite someone who was proficient in Feng Shui. The fourth elder Song Gucai found a geomantic treasure place for Song Dezhang to be buried.

After working for four or five days, the fourth brother sent away all the guests who came to express condolences. It was not convenient for Song Qingming to show up too much among mortals. The second sister had to take care of Song's mother who was in grief. Basically, all the errands were done below. He and his brother-in-law are busy.

After settling his father's affairs, Song Qingming was not in a hurry to return to the mountain. He stayed at home for another ten days. There was a lack of spiritual energy in Mujiao Town, and he did not deliberately spend spiritual stones to practice. Contrary to the fact that before, he stayed at home every time he went home. Being normal in his own room, he took the initiative to walk out of the room and became familiar with the whole family.

On this day, Song Qingming was playing with several young nephews in the backyard. Unexpectedly, Song's mother, who was already elderly, took the initiative to come to him.

"San'er, your father has been gone for so long, why are you still staying at home? He was most afraid that things at home would delay your cultivation. You have fulfilled your filial piety by coming back to take care of this matter. You can go back after dinner later. Don’t worry, it’s nothing serious. I know my own body well.”

Song's mother was a sensible person. Seeing that Song Qingming had not returned to the mountain after so long, she took the initiative to put down her grief and came to persuade Song Qingming to leave. Although she also wanted her son to stay with her at home, Song Qingming's The future is obviously more important to her than these things.

Song Qingming also knew his mother's thoughts in his heart, nodded in agreement, and helped his mother sit aside.

Mother Song looked at Song Qingming beside her, then at the grandchildren in the courtyard, and a smile that had not been seen for a long time slowly appeared on her face.

"It's a pity that Yunshan didn't detect spiritual roots last time, and I don't know if any of these children are destined to be immortals. They can follow me up the mountain to practice in the future."

The fourth brother has given birth to several more children in recent years. Song Yunshan, Song Qingming's eldest nephew, is also ten years old. He went to the town to take part in the spiritual root test half a year ago, but the result was as expected, which disappointed the child. He was just a child. Ordinary mortals have not tested their spiritual roots. In this life, they will not be able to practice immortal magic like uncle Song Qingming. If nothing happens, they will only be like his father and become a rich man among mortals.

Song's mother heard Song Qingming's words and said with some displeasure: "Why have you become as stubborn as your father? What's wrong with not having immortality? If you ask me, it's enough that they can grow old in peace in this life. Let's go." After cultivating immortality, this house is deserted no matter how big it is, so what’s the point.

You, it would be great if you could get married earlier. You are all alone in the mountains, how can I leave with peace of mind. "

As soon as she finished speaking, the tears in Mrs. Song's eyes couldn't stop overflowing again.

Naturally, Song Qingming had known for a long time that his mother wanted him to have a family, but the family stipulated that monks were not allowed to get married before they were forty years old. Even if he had this idea, he was still a few years old, so he had no choice but to explain to his mother again. After a while.

However, his father's sudden death from illness still left a trace of regret in his heart. It was indeed a great regret in his life that he could not let his parents see him start a family. Even if he was a monk, how could he be completely complete while his parents were still alive? Cut off this worldly relationship.
