Chapter 270 Leaving
Since losing an arm in the monster riot, the fourth brother Song Qingrui has been staying at the foot of the mountain to help look after the mortals of the family. He has long lost the motivation to practice. Fortunately, he was lucky. After getting married, he gave birth to a son with spiritual roots. In order to save more cultivation resources for his child, he started to work again in recent years. It can be said that there is light at the end of the tunnel.
"Brother is right. There is still a big gap in the number of cultivators in the family. Many spiritual veins and mines do not have enough cultivators to guard them. Second sister often urges me to ask for people. Fourth brother, you can give birth to a new cultivator and add another cultivator to the family. It is indeed a great contribution to the family." Song Qingming also smiled slowly and said.
The three drank a full jar of spiritual wine in front of Song Qingze's grave, and then left the cemetery with a little drunkenness.
Two years later, in Qinghefang.
Song Qingming and Song Qingyu were walking on the street of Fangshi with more than a dozen Song family cultivators.
"Qingyu, leave the patrol of the market town to Uncle Thirteen and the others. Try to consult with Fellow Daoist Lu on everything, and try to control the clansmen, and don't make the relationship with him too stiff."
"Seventh Brother, don't worry. I also spent two years in the guard team. I already understand all this." Hearing Song Qingming's repeated instructions, Song Qingyu nodded again skillfully.
It has been twenty years since Song Qingming built his foundation, and the Song family has once again been assigned the task of guarding Qinghefang. In order to train Song Qingyu well, Song Qingming directly arranged for her to go down the mountain and lead the team to Qinghefang.
Song Qingyu had broken through to the second level of foundation building a year ago, and she also had two second-level magic weapons on her body. Song Qingming also gave her several second-level spiritual talismans for protection. Her current strength is far better than when Song Qingming was stationed in the market town. Moreover, Qinghefang also has the experienced Lu Yuanfeng in charge. In Song Qingming's view, there should be no big problem.
In recent years, under the governance of Huang Shengyue, the atmosphere in Qinghefang has gradually improved. However, there are still some cases of independent cultivators being robbed and missing around the market. For this reason, Lu Yuanfeng also strengthened the defense force of Qinghefang and hired many independent cultivators to join the guard team.
Song Qingyu's handover with the Huang family was relatively smooth this time. She moved into the high-level cave house in Qinghefang on the same day. Her active appearance in Qinghefang this time also caused a slight shock to the entire Qinghe County.
The Gao family and the Lu family were fine. Like the Huang family, they had already found out some news about Song Qingyu's foundation building. They were not surprised that Song Qingming brought her to Qinghefang this time. However, the Qi-refining and immortal-cultivating families under the various families were really surprised to see that someone from the Song family had successfully built a foundation.
In just over 20 years, the Song family has grown from a small Qi-refining family like them to a family with two foundation-building masters, and is now as famous as the Huang and Gao families. What happened in the process is indeed too unimaginable.
For a time, all kinds of rumors began to spread throughout Qinghe County. Some said that Song Qingming had explored a cave of a Jindan cultivator, some said that Song Qingming was appreciated by a casual cultivator, and some even said that the Song family secretly dug a spirit stone mine decades ago without the knowledge of Xiaoyao Sect.
Regarding these rumors, Song Qingming strictly forbade all cultivators of the Song family to pay attention to them. Such things cannot be killed at the source, and they often make things worse. However, no matter how they are spread, the other major foundation-building families are well aware of the rise of the Song family.
After all, in the past few hundred years in Qinghe County, in addition to the Gao and Huang families, other immortal cultivation families have experienced ups and downs. When Qian Guangyao was building his foundation, the Qian family was in the limelight. However, only twenty years later, as the Chifengling spiritual vein was breached by monsters, Qian Guangyao left Qinghe County and joined the Xiaoyao Sect, and the entire Qian family immediately turned back to the original Qi-refining immortal cultivation family.
The rise of the Song family is also the same, but in just over twenty years, the family's overall foundation is insufficient. Once the foundation-building cultivator who holds up the scene has any problems, the entire family will immediately be beaten back to its original form.
After arranging Song Qingyu's side, Song Qingming walked around the street and soon came to the Xianfeng Tower.
Before he reached the door, Song Qingming suddenly found that a black-clothed cultivator wearing a hat to cover his face came out of the Xianfeng Tower. Song Qingming looked from a distance, but he couldn't tell the man's cultivation level at once. He thought he might also be a foundation-building cultivator.
In a small market like Qinghefang, there are usually few unfamiliar foundation-building cultivators who come here. Now, a foundation-building cultivator with a concealed face suddenly appeared and walked out of Xianfeng Tower. It seems that he is not one of those people Song Qingming is familiar with, which makes him feel a little strange.
However, it is strange. There are many cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation who are really devoted to the Tao and do not like to deal with people. For their own safety, these people prefer to cover their faces when they go to the market where people gather.
Seeing Song Qingming coming to Xianfeng Tower, Li Quan, who was entertaining guests in the lobby, hurriedly went to inform Huang Siyuan who was busy in the kitchen.
After a table of delicious food was served, Huang Siyuan rarely stopped working and sat down with him, looking at Song Qingming seriously while tasting her cooking.
"Second sister told me last time that she plans to let Lao Jiu come to replace you, but she still needs to wait for her to come out of seclusion, which should take half a month." Seeing Huang Siyuan staring at him, Song Qingming gradually felt a little uncomfortable and opened his mouth to divert her gaze.
Huang Siyuan listened without any reaction on her face. She nodded slightly and said, "Hongyu is in the kitchen, so we should be able to handle it. Xinhu has also been introduced recently. I think it's better to transfer him to cooperate with Hongyu, so that you don't have to consider other people.
Li Quan knows all the accounts of the restaurant in the past few years. If you don't understand anything, just ask him. I have already told him where to buy goods on weekdays. It's okay to let him do this in the future."
I just said this sentence, but I didn't expect Huang Siyuan to reply so much. Song Qingming smiled and nodded, and put his attention on the food again, and Huang Siyuan also fixed his eyes on his face again.
For some reason, Song Qingming felt that today's food seemed to taste better than usual. He also stayed here for a while longer than usual. He left Xianfeng Tower with satisfaction until the sun was setting.
Three days after returning to Funiushan, Song Qingming was still thinking about how to clean up his cave. Unexpectedly, Song Qingyu, who had just been stationed in Qinghefang for a few days, suddenly returned to Funiushan and brought him a very shocking news.
A day ago, Huang Siyuan suddenly left a note in Xianfeng Tower and left Qinghefang alone, and no one knew where she went.
