(The Nascent Soul Realm is the tenth realm for Qi Practitioners, and the Golden Core is the ninth realm. There was a clerical error before, so I would like to explain it here.)
Sun Jiashu was supposed to have a banquet for a certain big shot from the Southeast Continent that night, but the young family head made an impromptu decision and asked the Sun Mansion in the inner city to reject the reception banquet. Although it was so inappropriate, the steward there proposed it for the first time.
He objected, but Sun Jiashu didn't have any explanation. He cut off the connection between the old house and the Sun Mansion in the study, and then went to the small ancestral hall at the back.
The steward over there was a little helpless. The ancestor of the Sun family's Yuan Ying didn't want to embarrass the Sun Mansion. The old man, who had not appeared in the Sun Mansion for a hundred years, personally gave the steward instructions, and then everyone in the Sun Mansion took a pill.
Reassurance.
After taking a bath and changing clothes, Sun Jiashu stood alone in the ancestral hall. After offering incense, he seemed to be facing the wall and thinking about his past, silent.
In addition to the memorial tablets in the ancestral hall, there are also portraits of the deceased heads of the Sun family hanging on the wall. Most of them are dressed in inconspicuous attires like Sun Jiashu today. The position of the head of the Sun family in this generation belongs to the inheritance passed down from generation to generation. Grandpa Sun Jiashu
After resigning as the head of the family, he went to travel to the Divine Continent of Middle Earth. At that time, Sun Jiashu inherited such a large family fortune at a young age. Sun Jiashu has been aware of the hardships in these years.
Sun Jiashu looked at the hanging statues. Some people turned the tide when the family was in crisis, some opened up new trade routes, some made close friends of the upper five realm monks for the family, and some did nothing in their lives, causing the Sun family to suffer heavy losses in Old Dragon City.
Without a start, some people made poor decisions, causing the Sun family to continuously give up their territory in the outer city, and the ancestral family property was constantly being encroached and divided. Some people went astray and devoted themselves to cultivating Taoism, and the family power fell into the hands of relatives...
Sun Jiashu wants to know how future generations will view him when he is hung on the wall. Is he the founder of ZTE who worked hard, or is he the culprit who laid the foundation for the family's troubles, or is he a fool who missed a golden opportunity?
As the night fell, the Yuan Ying Ancestor slowly walked into the ancestral hall. He was silent for a long time and finally spoke to comfort him: "It only takes three. Are you willing to choose to believe that young man? The fourth time you bet is already very difficult. You lost on the fifth."
This time, there is no need to be so upset. The golden elixir priest who is expected to become the Nascent Soul is actually willing to accompany you in these four bets. He originally preferred to stay in the Sun family's ancestral home instead of being attracted by Fu Donghai."
Sun Jiashu did not turn around. He still looked up and stared at a portrait, nodded and said: "I have figured this out, and I don't have too many knots. In terms of betting, things have not gotten better, nor have they changed.
Even worse, I can accept the result. To say the least, my Sun family will not be missing a person who will be in the Nascent Soul realm in the future, and they will die."
The ancestor of the Sun family hesitated to speak. When it comes to the foundation of Sun Jiashu's Taoism, even he cannot ask casually. This is like the three worshippers in the Sun family's ancestral home. No matter how good the personal relationship with Sun Jiashu is, no matter how good the personal relationship with Sun Jiashu is, no matter how curious the young man is,
He would never take the initiative to ask about his state of cultivation, but would just speculate as a matter of fun.
Sun Jiashu spread out a palm and said, "I and Chen Pingan were just doing business from beginning to end. It's not that I don't regard Liu Baqiao as a friend, but Chen Pingan is so strange that I can't help but
There's nothing we can do about him. I, Sun Jiashu, am a businessman and the head of the Sun family. It turns out that knowing too much is not good."
Sun Jiashu turned his head and raised his palm, "It wasn't until Chen Ping'an repulsed the morning glow golden dragon for the second time, and until the Fu family stood still, that all my plans failed and I suffered the consequences, then I realized that I was wrong to take advantage of the other side this time.
It was so outrageous that I watched myself lose... an old dragon city."
Even the Nascent Soul Ancestor, who is known as the Earth Immortal in the world, could not see anything strange in the young man's palm.
But the old man was extremely sure that what Sun Jiashu saw was the final truth.
Sun Jiashu's face was full of sadness, "If I just lose Chen Ping'an, a friend who is not a friend in the first place, and lose an old Dragon City, I, Sun Jiashu, will have my teeth knocked out and blood swallowed, in fact, I can still bear it! If the money is gone, I will earn it again.
My ability to make money, I, Sun Jiashu, will never be worse than anyone else!"
The old man could only say nothing and wait for the next sentence.
Sun Jiashu put away his palms, clenched his fists, and said in a trembling voice: "But after all these twists and turns, I found that my way of making money has always been firmly believed to be upright and upright. It is the unquestionable way of doing business. It is the most consistent with the upright and upright, and has a long history of ancestral teachings.
, but Chen Pingan, who had only known each other for less than a month, confirmed that it was a side street. The ancestor of the merchant had long left his last words for future generations. Side wealth is like running water, it comes and goes quickly, and it is not advisable to prosper or die suddenly.
.”
Sun Jiashu turned his head to prevent his ancestor from seeing his face.
He lowered his head slightly, as if he didn't want the family ancestors to see his expression.
The Nascent Soul Realm old man slowly walked to Sun Jiashu, "Now that the matter has come to this, are you just so disheartened and haven't done anything?"
Sun Jiashu put his hands to his mouth and breathed softly, "The Fu family is inexplicably silent. There are no human beings inside and outside, only me, Sun Jiashu. The key is that I am not sure yet. What kind of person does Chen Pingan think I am? What kind of person does he really think I am?"
What kind of person he is, that is the crux of the problem."
The old man frowned and said, "It's hard to say how Chen Ping'an treats you. But you haven't fully understood his temperament yet?"
Sun Jiashu said helplessly: "I thought I had seen through it before, so even if he knew the truth afterwards, Chen Ping'an would not be missing out on what the Sun family should have. At worst, we would be strangers to each other forever. But now, it's hard to say.
I'm not sure if Chen Ping'an is completely consistent with others and himself."
The old man patted Sun Jiashu on the shoulder and said, "Jiashu, you are very smart and talented. There is no problem in being the head of the Sun family. Even if such a trap is revealed now, I still think so. Then I will not treat you as the head of the Sun family today."
As an ancestor, you don't point fingers at the head of the Sun family. You just say one more thing to the younger generation as an elder. Putting aside all kinds of calculations, family honor and disgrace, and the general trend of Aquarius Continent, you are still Sun Jiashu and Liu Baqiao's best friend.
Chen Ping'an is another friend introduced to you by Liu Baqiao, you might as well get along with him as a simple friend and don't think about your family for the time being."
Sun Jiashu turned his head and asked doubtfully: "Is it feasible?"
The old man smiled and said: "You might as well give it a try. Anyway, things can't get any worse. And some things can't be avoided if you want to. In life, don't be afraid when you encounter a hurdle, just work hard to get over it. If you can't get through it,
Liang said, you have tried it after all. As you said, the Sun family can still bear it."
Sun Jiashu was still a little hesitant and suspicious, "Then let me give it a try?"
The old man turned his head and looked at the sky outside the ancestral hall, "Let's go. Don't forget, today is the day when the mountain turtle sets sail."
Sun Jiashu took a deep breath, turned around and left the ancestral hall. Although he was determined, the young man's pace was not easy.
"This kid Jiashu really lost badly this time, and he was afraid of losing. He lost three times in a row, lost Guyu money, and missed a hundred years of enshrinement by a promising Nascent Soul. He lost to the Fu family who was as immovable as a mountain, and finally lost to Dao.
My heart, my original heart, began to waver, which is the most fatal thing. If I were in his position, I would probably be even worse than him. My state of mind has already been shattered, and I don’t even have a chance to recover."
The old man stopped staring at Sun Jiashu's back, looked at the hanging statues again, and smiled, "It's a good thing to have such a disaster. It's better than having a big disaster in the future and having to make up for it again. It's too smooth, and you always pride yourself on your intelligence.
After all, wisdom is not a long-term solution. Do you think so?"
The pictures hanging on the walls made a clattering sound, as if they were echoing.

In Fu City, Song Jixin was always followed by the deputy head of Linlu Academy.
The deal between Laolongcheng and Dali had been finalized long before Fu Nanhua entered the Lizhu Cave. Song Jixin's trip was just a symbolic appearance as the Dali prince Song Mu. All of this was the result of Dali's Imperial Preceptor.
Cui Han's strategizing was the will of His Majesty the Emperor. This time Song Jixin went south from the ferry of Longquan County to Laolongcheng. His Majesty the Emperor, who was recuperating in the capital of Dali, made no demands on Song Jixin, so that Song Jixin
While on the ferry, I had some misconceptions that the maid Zhigui was the real backbone of this trip.
Longquan County, Laolongcheng.
Zhigui, Wang Zhuweizhu.
Song Jixin knew that these clues he knew, and the thousands of miles of hidden clues that had not yet come to light, had been woven into a big web, which would eventually form a situation of going south and going north. In addition, the Gao family of the Sui Dynasty was willing to take a big step back, and the Song family of Dali
Forming an alliance, Xie Shi, the Heavenly Lord of Luzhou in the central part of Aquarius Continent, cut off Guanhu Academy's tight control over the northern area. Although the academy's first attack was thunderous, it strangled the Caiyi Kingdom and Shushui Kingdom in the central part.
Several countries were about to start a war, but Song Jixin vaguely saw a path for the Great Li cavalry to advance. It was as powerful as breaking bamboo, driving southward, riding on the coast of the South China Sea...
Song Jixin kept silent about this, he just saw it in his eyes and kept it in his heart.
Just how favorable the situation in Aquarius Island is to the Song family of Da Li does not mean that it is favorable to Song Ji's salary. Not to mention that he has nothing to do with the important ministers of the temple and the heroes of the Zhuguo. There is also a younger brother in the Changchun Palace, and a man who is devoted to his youngest son.
The empress, when he went to the Changchun Palace, they had been separated from each other for many years. After the son recognized his ancestor and returned to the clan, he should take the initiative to greet his mother. However, no matter how sad the empress appeared in the Changchun Palace, Song Jixin felt in his heart
Deep down, I found it difficult to empathize, as if I was watching a stranger break his heart, and he had no sympathy. Song Jixin was like a wooden man without emotions and desires, except for squeezing out a few tears,
There were no more words to the powerful lady who had been relegated to the cold palace. She just asked and Song Jixin answered. It didn't feel like a reunion of mother and son, but rather like a mechanical duel between the king and his ministers.
In addition, one of the younger brothers, Song He, was crying next to him, so the meeting between mother and son must have been awkward.
Song Jixin walked alone in the courtyard corridor of Fu's house. He said he wanted to take a walk by himself, so the deputy head of Linlu Academy stopped following him. Song Jixin met many handsome men and maids along the way.
No one knew his identity, but the pair of Laolong Fanyunpei and Laolong Buyupei around Song Jixin's waist were enough to allow him to travel unimpeded in the Fu family.
Today Zhigui has gone to play again. Sword Immortal Xu Ruo is also missing. This person is said to be a famous Mohist hero in the Middle-earth Divine Continent. Song Jixin has always wanted to make friends with him.
But Xu Ruo, who always feels that he is kind to everyone, is actually the hardest to talk to. It is difficult for both parties to have a heart-to-heart relationship. Maybe it will be better when he reaches that position one day? Song Jixian endured it to avoid backfire.
Along the way, Song Jixin admired the landscape gardens and pavilions carefully built by the Fu family. After seeing too much, he became a little bored. In the past, he wandered around the streets and alleys of the small town, regardless of whether he had his maid Zhigui with him.
I never thought the scenery was so unbearable. Song Jixin thought of Zhigui, and the gloom in his heart became more and more intense.
He was very afraid that one day, she would no longer be his maid, and when he looked back, her slender figure would no longer be there.
Just like now, Song Jixin turned his head. In the empty corridor, only the ignorant caged parrots were talking in human language, or in the obscure old Longcheng dialect. Song Jixin turned around and walked to the birdcage, using
He tapped his fingers on the bamboo birdcage, "Shut up!"
The parrot imitated the words very quickly and accurately, and replied to Song Jixin with the elegant words of Aquarius Island, "Shut up!"
Song Jixin raised his eyebrows and said, "Song Mu is the uncle."
The colorful parrot turned around silently, pointed its butt at Song Jixin, and then said, "Your uncle!"
Song Jixin smiled instead of being angry. His mood improved and he left with a smile.
