Tonight, everything is stable, Nie Yao and Zhang Jinjin are playing here.

Nie Yao looked at the chessboard pieces worth three thousand spirit stones on the table and couldn't help sighing in his heart.

Lingshan opens every three years, in accordance with the ancestral tradition. Although the immortals have cut off the world, but the ancestor of the Nie family, Nie Wuya, learned the Tao in the process of daily life, and practiced in the family for a long time. It can be said that he used the power of the whole family for his cultivation. In the thousands of years before Ascension, he personally brought many family members to the path of immortal cultivation.

A person has lived for nearly a thousand years, and naturally he has seen many partings of life and death, and the vicissitudes of the world. Leaving the Sword Furnace Spirit Mountain before ascension, although it is for the well-being of the immortal world, it has to be said that it has left a rich legacy for the descendants of the Nie family.

However, the inheritance belongs to the inheritance. Whether it can be managed well or not depends on the ability of the descendants of the Nie family.

After Nie Wuya's ascension, the Nie family really enjoyed a good time for a while, and were hailed as one of the five famous masters in the world of immortality. But it is a pity that the Lingshan Nie family did not have any amazing talents in the next few hundred years, and the descendants who were sitting on the mountain would not be able to run it. Although several generations of family owners struggled to revitalize in the middle, the good times did not last long. Lingshan is such a big sect that once fell to the point where even the monthly salary could not be paid out.

Cultivation of immortals costs a lot. Before the establishment of the Moyun Mountain Spirit Formation, it took a lot of money and manpower just to explore, occupy and maintain the immortal cultivation place with abundant spiritual power, not to mention the purchase of medicinal pills and spiritual tools to aid in cultivation. Even if it is self-sufficiency, the medicinal herbs needed for medical cultivation pills, and the ore equipment used in utensil cultivation equipment are all huge expenses. From one school to another, if outstanding disciples can continue to emerge and make the world feel promising, there will be wealthy children vying for apprenticeships, and there will be no shortage of offerings. Practitioners, from then on embark on a virtuous circle.

Therefore, unless it is a rare genius, it is extremely difficult for a loose cultivator without wealth and power to succeed in the world of immortality. And the families of Zhongluo will enter into a vicious circle of worse and worse.

Nie Yuanshan, the previous generation's patriarch, is still a good candidate. The young man studied hard and traveled all over the world. According to legend, he went to the East China Sea to catch Jiaojiao, went to explore the desert, made great efforts in the battle of Linmoyuan, made a name for himself in the world of immortality, and made many friends. , This slowly pulled the family up from the quagmire, but it was also tepid, barely able to maintain a decent sect.

Until ten years ago, Nie Yao began to take charge of family affairs.

And Nie Yao was able to take charge of family affairs, but it was because of Zhang Jinjin.

Ten years ago, Nie Yao was considered a gifted and intelligent family member. At the age of thirteen, he perfected his Qi refinement and established a foundation at the age of fifteen. However, he signed up as a deacon at the age of seventeen when his golden elixir was first achieved. You must know that the good resources in the big family are always reserved for the talented disciples, and the errands of the deacon are all handed over to the unlucky people who can't make it.

Nie Yao had excellent grades in the family selection. He could have practiced advanced exercises with Nie Yuanshan, but he didn't expect to wear a deacon hall dress. .

At that time, Nie Yao said this: "Cultivation is in the heart, and only when you are at ease can you achieve Consummation. Otherwise, you will be prone to inner demons, which will be detrimental to your practice. My son doesn't like to follow steps in his practice, but he is very interested in family affairs. Dad, don't worry, I will definitely I won’t let go of my practice, but I also want to do what I love.”

Seeing the old father's expression that he was about to choke to death, he lowered his voice and persuaded: "Isn't my father afraid that my son will not be able to practice good spiritual stones and spiritual tools in the future? When your son becomes the chief executive, those things will still be there. Don't you want to take it from me, do you think your son will treat you badly?"

Yixi's words made his father stunned, but he couldn't find a reason to refute. After struggling for a few days, he had to go with him.

On this day, the newly promoted deacon Nie Yao went to the street to buy and found a new calligraphy and painting shop called "Golden Pavilion" on the corner of the street. It is said that the people who buy and sell calligraphy and painting are all elegant people. No matter how bad they are, they must be arty. The word "Jin Jin" on the sign of this shop is enough to make those fake Taoists avoid it, but Nie Yao appreciates him who prefer to be a real villain. Attitude, ghosts and gods walked in.

The shop is not big, there is only one boss and one guy, there are no famous masterpieces, but the main focus is the storybook and picture album.

At that time, most of the popular words in the market were based on fairy legends, with crude content and vulgar content. If they sold well, there were many imitations of this book, and they even changed the cover and changed the name to print them out to cheat money. Jinjinge's words mainly focus on legendary stories, mainly based on bizarre events that happened in various places, supplemented by commentary analysis, which is very fresh and refined in a crowd of shoddy ghost legends.

It's just a pamphlet about Lingshan's Taoism, but there are several obvious mistakes in it, and even the steps to go up the mountain are reversed. Nie Yao pointed it out on a whim.

Zhang Jinjin suddenly found a treasure, he pulled Nie Yao and asked for a treat. The two went to Taibai Building, the largest building in Hongye, and found that they were like-minded in "custom affairs" between cups and cups. After a meal, they were called brothers.

Zhang Jinjin patted Nie Yao's shoulder and said, "Brother Nie, you really entered Baoshan and came back empty. Thinking about your family's Lingshan argument, at least a dozen people get Lingwu every year, and these dozen people must have something special. Where did they come from, how did they apprentice, how did they cultivate, what happened in Lingshan, and how did they acquire Lingwu in the end, these are all living materials! Lingshan is held every three years. You! And the dozens of stories of these dozen people are enough for the cultivators in the Central Plains to discuss for three years. By then, more people will come to Lingshan, and more cultivators will join your Nie family. ."

Nie Yao was like a dick, and he took a crucial step in Nie's family affairs.

In the first year, they traveled together in the southern states, went to various teahouses and taverns to listen to books, hired local talents to write legend books, cross-sold them to various states for sales, and secretly collected public comments. towards.

In the second year, when Lingshan Mountain opened, Zhang Jinjin gathered his friends from the two states and eight cities around Hongye City, recorded on the spot in the square in front of Lingshan Mountain, and obtained the legendary experience of five of the eleven outstanding people in that year, and compiled the first set of " The Legend of Lingshan.
