The Xu family follows Taoism and seeks longevity

Chapter 68 Bai Family
  On the family's flying magic weapon, the Biyun Boat, sat the monks who went to the Bai family to attend the marriage ceremony. This Biyun Boat is a second-level low-grade flying magic weapon. It is very suitable for transporting monks over long distances. It is also produced by the Xu family in Nanfeng Mountain.

There were eleven people in total, and Xu Sheng, a monk of the "生" generation, became the leader. There are two monks of the "Zheng" generation and eight monks of the "Zhi" generation.

Everyone in this meeting was listening to Xu Shengsheng telling the general situation of the Bai family that he was going to, so that they could have an understanding of the Bai family.

According to Xu Shengsheng, the Bai family came to Taoshui County to establish their clan five hundred years ago, around the same time as the Li family. Therefore, the land occupied by these two families is close to the Hengduan Mountains where the monsters are located.

Fortunately, the Li family's entrance is blocked by the Tao River, which is a barrier. Since the family's land is south of the Tao River, people in the world often call it the Taoyin Li family.

The Bai family directly located their clan territory at the edge of the Hengduan Mountains, occupying a second-level spiritual mountain as a branch, named Minshan, so it was also called the Bai family in Minshan. Ordinary people would gather in groups when approaching the edge of the Hengduan Mountains, but the Bai family built their clan here, which is truly a bold move for a highly skilled man.

However, the Bai family also has something to rely on. Their clan-protecting formation is a combination of five second-level high-grade formations, called the Five Elements Mutual Generation Formation.

When the formation is fully activated, it can block the attacks of third-level low-grade monsters and monks for three days and three nights. However, this also costs a lot of spiritual stones. I heard that it costs tens of thousands of spiritual stones in one day. But compared to the safety of the family, these spiritual stones are nothing. That's why they dared to establish a clan in this place close to monsters, which was also the key to the Bai family being able to safely survive the monster tides in the last two times.

Let's talk about the ancestor of the Bai family. Generally, those who open the sect and establish the family legacy are usually sect monks or casual cultivators. When they feel that their path is over and their cultivation is difficult to grow, they will have the idea of ​​​​passing on the family line and starting a family.

But the ancestor of the Bai family was different. He was born in a Zifu family in Wuwei Prefecture in the north of Yongzhou, and his name was Bai Changfeng. Our ancestors have not had any monks for more than ten generations, and it can be said that they have become completely ordinary people.

I originally thought that I had no spiritual qualifications, but I didn't expect that during my family's soul test, I found that not only did I have the spiritual ability to practice, but I was also quite good at it. Then he was taken to the family mountain to practice.

After he was taken up by his family to practice in the clan mountain, he practiced very quickly because of his relatively good qualifications. This also aroused the resistance and hostility of many descendants of monks, so his practice was not very smooth, but he still built a foundation by stumbling. .

It has always been like this, because this kind of thing is common in the family, and it is not just their family.

But then something happened that was related to the life and death of the Bai family in Wuwei Mansion. Their family was fighting with a rival family over the ownership of a spiritual mine. In terms of family strength, their family was still above the rival family. Although they both had a Zifu-level monk, the Bai family had more foundation-building monks than the other family.

Unexpectedly, the enemy family did not know how to invite many helpers, including Master Zifu. Two masters of the Zi Mansion attacked the ancestor of the Bai family of Wuwei Mansion together, causing the ancestor of the Bai family to be seriously injured. He finally broke out of the encirclement and returned to the family with his last breath, and hurriedly summoned the clan members to explain the funeral arrangements.

He believed that the hostile family would not miss this golden opportunity and would definitely kill them all. So on the one hand, he arranged for family members to ask for help from Foguang Sect, the sect that governs Wuwei Mansion. On the other hand, he was afraid that Foguang Sect would not take action or the rescue would not be timely, causing the family to be destroyed. He also arranged for three waves of elite clan members to lead outstanding family seedlings to break out separately. , hoping to find another place to continue the Bai family legacy.

Among them, Bai Changfeng, the ancestor of the Bai family, was one of the three selected leaders. After leading the team to leave the family, he was afraid that enemies would pursue him and it would be unsafe to be too close, so he crossed thousands of mountains and rivers to Jincheng in the south of Yongzhou. Settled in Taoshui County.

At that time, because there were Xu and Wei families before them, the Li family was several years ahead of them. Therefore, in order to gain a foothold in Taoshui County, they spent a lot of spiritual stones and resources, which they carried with them when they left home.

The Bai family in Taoshui County learned the lesson when the Bai family in Jincheng Prefecture was almost destroyed, so they chose to establish their clan in this place close to monsters. Because it is sparsely populated and not connected to other families, the chance of conflicts is smaller. This is also the principle that the Bai family has always adhered to, try to make friends and make no enemies or as few enemies as possible.

If the threat from the Wei family had not been too great this time, they would not have proposed a marriage with the Xu and Li families. Another reason is that the Wei family is too arrogant and domineering. Even if the Bai family takes refuge, it will not end well, and they may be cannibalized step by step.

In fact, when the Bai family first came to Taoshui County, they did not dare to announce that they were from the Zifu family. This is understandable. If someone knew about it, not to mention that family enemies might come after him to eradicate him, but if other families in Jincheng Mansion knew about it, it was hard to say whether they would have evil intentions.

The reason why everyone knew that the Bai family in Taoshui County and the Bai family in Wuwei Prefecture were connected was only after many years. It turns out that the Minshan Bai family did not dare to send anyone back to inquire about the news because they were afraid of being chased by powerful enemies at first. Instead, they focused on taking root and development in Taoshui County. In fact, Bai Changfeng, the first ancestor of the Bai family in Minshan, had no intention of returning to that sad place. He felt that it would make him more comfortable.

Therefore, they have repeatedly ordered the clan members not to reveal their true origins, and they are prohibited from inquiring about the Bai family in Wuwei Mansion. His explanation was to avoid leaking the news and bringing disaster to the family, but his true thoughts were not known to outsiders.

After Bai Changfeng passed away, Bai Qingshi, the second generation ancestor of the Minshan Bai family, took over as the family ancestor.

This Bai Qingshi is different from Bai Changfeng. He is a serious second-generation cultivator. When he was in the Bai family of Wuwei Mansion, his father was a foundation-building monk, and he was considered to be a genius who would most likely become a monk of the Zi Mansion in the future. However, his father participated in that war and heard that he was killed by the enemy. Otherwise, he would not have followed Bai Changfeng to such a place that he considered useless.

In addition, the younger brother of Bai Qingshi's mother has even more terrifying aptitudes. He is as good as the first ancestor of the Bai family in Wuwei Mansion. It is said that he has the appearance of a golden elixir. However, this clan brother has been secretly cultivated by the family since he was a child, and the two of them don't get along much.

Originally, Bai Qingshi was dissatisfied with Bai Changfeng's order prohibiting inquiring into the Bai family of Wuwei Mansion. However, because most of the family monks who followed Bai Changfeng at that time were mortal monks, Bai Changfeng's prestige was extremely high, and he did not dare to confront him. contend. I can only bury my thoughts in my heart.

After he took over the Bai family, he couldn't wait to send several groups of people north to Wuwei Mansion to inquire for information. As a result, a lot of good news came back that made him ecstatic.

It turned out that not long after they escaped, the monks of Foguang Sect arrived in time and rescued the Bai family of Wuwei Mansion, whose clan defense formation was about to be breached. His younger brother was also accepted as a close disciple by the Supreme Elder of the Foguang Sect, a Golden Elixir Dzogchen monk, because of his outstanding aptitude for the alien spirit root. This is the disciple who will inherit the mantle.

As for whether the Bai family themselves used his younger brother as a condition for the help of the monks of the Foguang Sect, it's hard to say. But thinking about it, it shouldn't be bad. Why should someone help you for no reason? Don't talk about monks being compassionate, anyone who believes in that is a fool.

This time, the Bai family got a blessing in disguise. Not only were their hostile forces eliminated with the help of Jin Guangzong, but they also established a close relationship with Jin Guangzong. After his younger brother joined the Foguang Sect, his cultivation also skyrocketed. He broke through the Zi Mansion when he was less than 100 years old and was regarded as the best candidate to host the next generation.

After learning the news, he couldn't hold back his excitement and went north overnight, hoping to recognize his ancestor and return to his clan.

How can I leave in good spirits and return in despair? The specific reasons are unknown to outsiders. However, there are also some rough speculations. First, they have been away from home for nearly a hundred years, and there are not many relatives and friends left from back then. The other is that they are afraid that they will rob their own interests when they come back.

I heard that Bai Qingshi didn't give up and went to Foguang Sect, hoping that his brother would seek justice. But I didn't even see him face to face. I just sent the little novice monk to say:

"Once you enter Buddhism, you will no longer be a member of the Bai family."

Bai Qingshi was greatly shocked and wanted to return home. Unexpectedly, the Bai family of Wuwei Mansion may have taken advantage of his younger brother. Although they did not agree with their recognition of their ancestors, they still gave them a lot of help, such as precious spiritual objects such as foundation-building pills. He also promised to provide them with a foundation-building pill at market price every hundred years.

Bai Qingshi felt a little relieved and returned to his family with the spiritual object. However, he never returned to the north and died in depression.

Later, Bai Qingshi's younger brother successfully broke through to the Golden Elixir in Foguang Sect. Although he did not become the host, he became a Jindan elder and held a high position of authority. The Bai family of Wuwei Mansion also ascended to heaven, returning to the ranks of the Zifu family, but this has little to do with the Bai family of Minshan.

After that, the two families had intermittent contacts, and Baiyimen was quite fond of the Bai family because of this. Therefore, it is not wrong to say that the Bai family is the family with the deepest background in Taoshui County. Although this background is not reliable, no one has tried it with their lives.
