Family cultivation: I am the reincarnation of an ancestor

Chapter 98 The importance of reading, the Yan family's invitation

"Smart and eager to learn, not ashamed to ask questions. Learn things silently, never tire of learning, never tired of teaching..."

Under a big banyan tree in the Kongtong Sect, there was a young boy who kept reciting. His eyes were clear, sometimes he nodded and shook his head, sometimes he sighed to the sky.

This young man's name is Yan Lingwen. He is 17 years old and is at the sixth level of Qi training. He is ranked sixteenth among the Yan family's generation.

As for why he appeared in the Kongtong Sect, it was naturally for learning and communication. He was one of the few members of the Yan family who was said to be talented in body training.

Therefore, I placed my trust in practicing within the Kongtong Sect.

"Hey, Lingwen, what are you doing? You're just shaking your head and babbling."

Yan Lingwen turned around and saw a beautiful girl with big bright eyes. She was Wen Yaling, a disciple of the Kongtong Sect. She was the same age as him, and the two often practiced together.

"I'm reading a book." Yan Lingwen replied with a smile.

"Reading a book? What kind of technique is it? Let me take a look." Wen Yaling, who was full of curiosity, took the book from the other person's hand and kept looking up and down with her big eyes. Suddenly, her face turned bitter and she said, "What? , isn’t this just a common book? I thought you were practicing some kind of technique.”

"The clan competition is coming soon, and these things will be tested at that time. Can't I just improvise?"

Yan Lingwen took the book of allusions back, flattened it and put it into a storage bag.

"Is there such a thing as a test? You Yan family are so busy that I don't even have time to practice." The girl raised her lips and continued:
"I asked you, Yan family members, why do you all hold a book in your hands every day? You waste your time here. Aren't you afraid of delaying your cultivation? Don't pick up the sesame seeds and lose the watermelon."

But Yan Lingwen shook his head and retorted: "When Brother Jiu laid down this family rule at first, several brothers and sisters and I were so repulsive to you. But as we studied in depth, we gradually came to understand. 'There is a room of gold in the book', knowledge and cultivation, I now see them as two equally important things."

Yan Lingwen stood up, looked in the direction of the Yan family, and sighed: "Brother Ninth is really a great man for setting up this family rule. From the book, I can see many of my own shortcomings, and the principles in the book can also teach me how to correct them. By learning from the mistakes of others, I can know what is wrong and what is right. You will not understand these things at all if you have not gone deep into them."

After hearing this, Wen Yaling's face showed anger: "How did you become a nerd? You are still arguing for that person. I admit that senior Yan Lingyu has the talent for cultivation, but he will also make mistakes. Look, because you have to deal with the assessment, you yourself Your cultivation has fallen behind, and I have already surpassed you."

Faced with the teasing of his childhood sweetheart, Yan Lingwen just looked indifferent: "Yaling, you are wrong. My cultivation has not fallen behind. This is just a short-term restraint in exchange for long-term progress in the future."

Then, he turned his head and said to the other party very seriously: "Yaling, I really hope you will also read the "Analects of Confucius", "Mencius" and other secular schools of thought. Believe me, you will have a new understanding of life and cultivation. , get new gains”

Reading these popular classics is very different from the original writing and reading.

The latter is empty, and even with the memory of a monk, it won't take long to complete it all.

But precisely because literacy is simple and fast, monks will lose many meanings in the language.

Another year has passed since the Yan family meeting. In this year, Yan Lingwen has gained something every time he reads a book.

Especially when you encounter a bottleneck in your spiritual practice or practice, you can calm down, take out a book, and read quietly, and you will always find unexpected breakthroughs.

Yan Lingwen continued solemnly: "Cultivating immortals means cultivating Tao. Tao exists in heaven and earth. All things have their own Tao. Monks have their own Tao. Monks have their own Tao. Ordinary people also have their own Tao. Maybe the two cannot completely overlap, but they can complement each other. Learn from each other and confirm each other.”

"Tch, I don't. Our Kongtong Sect's assessment is also extremely strict. What if I can't pass? Are you going to compensate me?"

"It's not impossible."

"..."

Seeing the girl leave angrily, Yan Lingwen shook his head helplessly. Suddenly, an idea struck him, and a rugged man who looked [-]% similar to him fell in front of him.

"Fourth brother."

The person coming is Yan Lingzhang. After years of accumulation, he has become much calmer. Now he has entered the ninth level of Qi training and is preparing for foundation building.

Because there is a foundation-building elixir recipe, I think that not long after arriving, another foundation-building monk was born in the Yan family.

Yan Lingzhang patted the latter on the shoulder and said, "You are familiar with this place. Take me to see Fellow Daoist Lin."

Soon, the two came to Lin Zixun's cave, and the latter happened to be inside.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, this is an invitation from the Yan family." "Oh?"

Lin Zixun looked surprised. What happened to the Yan family? Why did they come to deliver invitations?
The key point is that as a good friend of Yan Lingyu, he had not received any news before.

I took the invitation. It was a piece of bright red spiritual paper, which heralded great happiness for the Yan family.

The next moment, Lin Zixun's eyes widened and he said in disbelief:

"Wedding banquet? Yan Lingyu? Huh?"

This turned out to be a wedding invitation, and the protagonist in it was Yan Lingyu!

Lin Zixun's face was full of shock.

It's no wonder that he wasn't surprised. He really didn't expect that a person with Yan Lingyu's temperament would suddenly get married.

In his opinion, he was a man who was like an iceberg, whose face remained unchanged even after a large number of people collapsed, and whose heart was extremely firm towards the Tao.

You said that Yan Lingyu never married, which is more convincing than that he got married before he was thirty.

"Who is this woman? She can capture the heart of such a monster?"

At this moment, Lin Zixun was filled with curiosity and admiration.

I'm afraid this woman is also a monster.

He glanced down.

"Ok?"

Lin Zixun rubbed his eyes in confusion and looked again.

"impossible!"

The big eyes kept opening and closing, and he almost dug them out. Lin Zixun felt that his eyes were broken, or the invitation was written wrongly.

"Qin Han'er? Little princess? Yan Lingyu? Marriage? Are you kidding me?"

Lin Zixun was stunned on the spot.

It was surprising enough that Yan Lingyu found a wife secretly and mysteriously, and this wife was Qin Han'er.

For a moment, Lin Zixun suspected that he was dreaming.

After coming back to his senses and seeing Yan Lingzhang's smiling expression and the fact that the Yan family couldn't joke about such a thing, he slowly chose to accept it.

Then, with a solemn look on his face, he said, "Fellow Taoist Lingzhang, I will definitely attend the banquet when the time comes."

After sending away the guests of the Yan family, Lin Zixun found Ruan Jinheng, told the matter, and then reported it to the elders of the sect together.

At the same time, in the main hall above the mountains.

The leader of the Kongtong Sect also had an invitation with golden light in his hand, and his face was very solemn.

The Princess's Mansion is different from the Yan family. The invitations sent out by the Yan family are at the level of Lin Zixun and Hai Chongyang at most. But if the Princess's Mansion sends out an invitation, it will alarm the entire Shaonan County upper echelons.

Just like the current leader of the Kongtong Sect.

He looked at the invitation and murmured: "Yan Lingyu..."

His heart could not be calm for a long time.
