Please show your spirit to our ancestors

Chapter 86 Tuan Tuan grows up! You are such a Tuan Tuan
……

It is still the autumn of the 212th year of the Xuanmo calendar.

The main residence of the Chen family.

Not far from Antaiju where the owner Chen Ningtai lives, there is a small garden.

Although the garden is not large, it has all the necessary elements such as rockery, flowing water, spiritual pond, flower beds, pavilions, etc., and every corner is carefully arranged and maintained by Chen Ningtai in his spare time.

In his own words.

The world of immortal cultivators is not just about cultivation and fighting, but also about some personal hobbies and interests in life.

Whenever he was exhausted from working so hard for his family, he would often come to this small garden to rest, admire the flowers, feed the fishes, and enjoy the relaxation.

therefore.

He named this small garden "Forget-Sorrow Garden".

at this time.

Behind the rockery and flowing water in the Forget-Sorrow Garden, in a not-so-big corner, there were gathered more than a dozen children of different ages. The oldest one was already a teenager of fourteen or fifteen years old, while the youngest one was only three or four years old and still stumbled when he walked.

Over the years, the number of children in the family has gradually increased, mainly due to the Purple Qi and the Purple Qi Jade Plate.

Now it is passed down among the families that as long as you do a good job in the development of the family, work hard and accumulate enough family contributions, you can go to the ancestor Ning Tai to ask for a jade token for childbirth. If you use it before the event, you can ensure that the child has five spiritual roots.

Many couples in immortal cultivation families dare not have many children, for fear of giving birth to children without spiritual roots, who will be lost from the family and their descendants will not even be able to enter the ancestral hall.

Now that we have fewer worries, we naturally want to have more children.

"Brother Xinsong." A little girl, about ten years old, dressed and looked very cute, looked up at the boy beside her, blinked her big watery black eyes, and said in a coquettish voice, "Please cast a wood spell."

"Okay, no problem." Chen Xinsong, now fourteen years old, is almost as tall as an adult, and some light blue beard has obviously grown on his upper lip.

Thanks to the good economic income of the family in recent years, he is one of the four spiritual roots that the family focuses on cultivating, and the resource allocation is relatively sufficient. He has made rapid progress in practicing the [Qingmu Changsheng Jue].

As early as last year, his cultivation had reached the middle stage of the Xuanqiao Realm in the initial stage of Qi Refining.

He skillfully made a hand gesture and a light green spiritual power was released, attaching to a pile of burnt charcoal.

Seeing this, the little girl also made a gesture with her little hands, and a flame hit the charcoal.

In an instant, flames rose up and the pile of charcoal was soon burned red.

She skillfully set up the grill over the fire and greased it with oil.

He solemnly took out a wooden box from the storage bag. The box had partitions inside and contained more than ten kinds of seasonings with different flavors.

"Chen Xiuyang, have you killed the fish yet?" the little girl urged.

"Aunt Shiyin, okay, I'll be right there."

Next to the rockery waterfall, a boy who was only five or six years old and still a little childish responded loudly, then called out and led a few other friends over from the rockery waterfall, holding in his hand a spirit fish that had been slaughtered and cleaned.

Such skillful techniques clearly show that this is not the first time he has committed the crime.

After handing the spirit fish to the little girl, her friends sat in a circle around her and began to watch her operate it eagerly.

The little girl carefully cut the fish, applied seasoning and oil on it, then put it on the grill and started grilling.

At the same time, she took out some conchs, shells, octopus, squid, lobster and other seafood from the storage bag, processed them slightly, put them on the grill one by one, and added corresponding seasonings.

These were all brought back from the sea by her beloved Aunt Yuling when she went fishing at Zhenhai Villa.

These are just a small part of them.

"Zizzizi!"

As it roasts over charcoal, all kinds of delicious flavors waft into the air.

The friends were all drooling with greed.

"Tuantuan~" Chen Xinsong's throat surged, and he felt a little nervous and uneasy. "It's okay for us to grill these seafood, but you grilled my great grandfather's favorite [Red and White Carp]. When my great grandfather finds out, he will definitely beat us to death."

"Alas, I don't want to roast it either~" Chen Shiyun sighed innocently, "But who told it to have such good food and grow so fat~ Besides, I haven't seen my mother for more than ten days, I miss her so much."

When she said the latter part, her face looked aggrieved and she was almost in tears.

Uh……

Chen Xinsong was speechless.

He understood that Tuantuan organized this barbecue not just to satisfy his cravings, but purely to avenge his great grandfather. It was said that Fourth Aunt was sent out by his great grandfather to carry out a family mission.

However, if you want to take revenge on my great-grandfather, why did you drag me, Chen Xinsong, and a bunch of kids into this?

The next moment, he understood again.

All of them are used to disperse firepower.

Especially the eldest great-great-grandson, nephew Xiu Yang, with his greedy mouth and silly look. No wonder Tuan Tuan always asks him to follow him when he does something.

He's the eldest great-great-grandson, who else can I beat if not him first?

Of course, the big boss behind the scenes, Great Grandfather, would definitely not do it. Brother Xinyuan is the one who does it.

Besides, Chen Xinsong would most likely not be able to escape, since he was the oldest among the group of children.

"What's wrong? Brother Xinsong wants to run away?" Chen Shiyun asked with a blink. "No, no, no, I will definitely stand together with everyone." Chen Xinsong said hurriedly, "especially I will never abandon sister Tuantuan."

After a pause, he said worriedly, "I'm just afraid of being discovered in advance. I won't get to eat the spirit fish, but I'll get beaten first. Is the formation you set up reliable?"

"You mean this [Small Xumi Formation]?" Chen Shiyun said confidently, "I stole this formation from my parents' bedroom. It can change shapes in a small range and distort an area into an independent space! As long as we don't get too close and break in, even an old ancestor in the foundation-building stage will find it difficult to detect what we are doing in there."

"Whether it's sound, smell, or sight, none of them can be transmitted, and it can also distort the spiritual sense to detect. The most important thing is that we can clearly see the outside from inside! Isn't it amazing?"

"Such a powerful formation must be very expensive, right?" Chen Xinsong was envious and exclaimed, "Fourth Uncle and Fourth Aunt are so rich."

"My mother bought this herself. She said she bought it from Jinwu Market. It really cost a lot of spirit stones." Chen Shiyun said truthfully, "So you can rest assured about its power. Even if we make a big fuss, no one outside will notice."

While Chen Xinsong was praising him, he was also somewhat puzzled: "The formation is indeed very powerful, but why did your parents set up such a powerful formation in the room? This is such a waste."

"I suspect they are targeting me." Chen Shiyun's cheeks swelled up with anger when talking about this. "I found that since they drove me to sleep in the east wing, they often tried to secretly close the door and whisper to me, not letting me in or listening!"

"But how can I let them abandon me and talk alone? So, every time I try to show up suddenly and scare them. Alas, now they are targeting me more and more!"

"Aunt Shiyun, I want to eat octopus." Chen Xiuyang had been killing fish for a long time and was already very hungry. He couldn't help but want to eat.

Just at this time.

"Chirp!"

A bird's cry was heard overhead, and then a large black bird fell into the formation, folded its wings and landed on the rockery, chirping rapidly.

This big bird is none other than Chen Jingyun’s spiritual pet, the Locust King [Ma Tuan].

Many years have passed, and Ma Tuan has grown bigger and looks like a big ball, but he is still agile and nimble in his movements, and seems to be a little faster than before.

"not good!"

Chen Shiyun's expression changed slightly, and he actually understood what Ma Tuan meant: "Grandfather has brought guests to Wangyou Garden."

When these words were spoken, all the children were startled and became nervous.

"It's okay, don't be afraid." Noticing their emotions, Chen Shiyun calmed down and waved at everyone, "Everyone should eat and talk. Just think of it as helping my mother test this expensive [Small Xumi Formation] to see if it can really deceive the five senses and consciousness of a foundation-building cultivator."

As soon as she calmed down, the group of naughty kids who followed her lead suddenly became calm as well.

It just so happened that the seafood was almost grilled, and the tempting aroma filled the air. The naughty kids immediately forgot their nervousness and started eating without hesitation, swallowing their saliva.

Anyway, even if the sky falls, we have Sister Tuantuan to hold it up!

Also at the same time.

Chen Ningtai, who was becoming more and more like a great man, led a middle-aged man in brocade robes into the [Forget Worry Garden] and introduced it to the visitor enthusiastically: "Brother Xiuxian, look at the flower garden. Those crescent-shaped peonies were planted by me personally."

"And the spiritual carp raised in the spiritual spring, each one of them was carefully selected and taken care of by me."

It was rare for Chen Ningtai to entertain guests in the Forget-Your-Sorrow Garden, so he would show off the fruits of his labor as he walked around.

However, as he walked, his brows slightly frowned, as if he felt something was wrong.

The middle-aged man with a dignified appearance was none other than Cui Xiuxian, the head of the Hedong Cui family. Looking at the entire Hedong County cultivation world, he was a well-known figure.

at this time.

Cui Xiuxian also had a big smile on his face, and he kept echoing and praising Chen Ningtai's handicraft: "Brother Ningtai is so elegant and has a good mood. This unique little garden is full of spirit. I will imitate him and build one later."

The two chatted and laughed as they reached the waterfront terrace next to the spirit pond.

Chen Ningtai personally boiled water and poured tea, chatting casually about trivial matters. In fact, he knew very well the intention of Cui Xiuxian's visit, and he also knew that he had bad intentions.

But this is how the interactions between the noble families work. As long as the two sides haven't officially torn their faces apart, they have to remain friendly on the surface.

Besides, Chen Ningtai still had a glimmer of hope in his heart~~
After chatting for two cups of tea, Cui Xiuxian seemed to be unable to hold back. He coughed twice and got to the point: "By the way, Brother Ning Tai. I heard that there is a girl with four spiritual roots in your Chen family's direct lineage. Her name is Chen Shiyun?"

Chen Ningtai's eyebrows jumped slightly, and his voice was a little deep: "Shiyan is indeed my great-granddaughter. What is the meaning of Brother Xiuxian asking about her?"

"Brother Ning Tai, our two clans have had close contacts in recent years. I think it's time for the two clans to deepen their relationship. I also happen to have a great-grandson of the direct descendant line, who is now just 20 years old. He also has four spiritual roots, and he will not bring disgrace to Brother Ning Tai's family's poetry."

Cui Xiuxian secretly planned that it would be more logical to give Chen some sweet benefits first and then discuss the supply matter.

He coughed again and said, "Of course, since it is a marriage alliance, then it is natural that we will marry each other. Our family will also have a child who will marry Chen Xiuyang from your family."

Chen Ningtai has not yet expressed his position.

There was complete silence in the Small Xumi Formation.

The little kids who were happily eating the grilled fish stopped abruptly and looked at their sister Tuantuan with panic and trepidation.

They had keenly noticed that Sister Tuantuan was unhappy, she was very unhappy!

Based on past experience, this means that something is going to happen!

"Sister Tuantuan, calm down, let's..." Chen Xinsong wanted to dissuade her, but swallowed his words back.

Because he found that Chen Shiyan was smiling, and her smile was very cute.

He suddenly felt a chill on his spine and his scalp tingled.
