ritual, is backing up Azure Lotus Pavilion. 王秋生立刻答应一声,深施一礼后,倒退着出了青莲阁。 500 years ago, Ancestor of Wang Family Wang Yuangang is tied down by care of one's family to arrive at Ning Prefecture Zhangping County to settle down. 五百年前,王家先祖王元罡拖家带口来到宁州长平郡定居。 At that time Wang Family was a family of seven, under the asylums of two Foundation Establishment cultivator, was less than hundred years, the Wang Family population turns more than ten times to continue, although only then a small number of lucky fellows had spirit root, but also laid the foundation for afterward Wang Family. 当时王家不过是七口之家,不过在两位筑基修士的庇护下,不到百年,王家的人口翻了十几倍不止,虽然只有少数幸运儿拥有灵根,不过也为后来的王家奠定了基础。 After several hundred years of development, the Wang Family population turns time unceasingly, the Immortal Cultivator quantity increases unceasingly, up to now, Wang Family has 145 Immortal Cultivator, hundreds of thousands do not have the spirit root clansman. 经过数百年的发展,王家的人口不断翻倍,修仙者的数量不断增加,截止目前为止,王家有一百四十五名修仙者,还有十几万没有灵根的族人。 Wang Family family residence in Zhangping County Azure Lotus Mountain, has the spirit root Wang Family clansman to live in Azure Lotus Mountain mostly. 王家的家族驻地在长平郡的青莲山,拥有灵根的王家族人大都住在青莲山。 Azure Lotus Mountain First Rank High Grade spirit vein, with the efforts of all previous Ancestor of Wang Family, First Rank spirit vein had cultivated Second Rank Low Grade spirit vein, can provide enough spirit qi for Foundation Establishment cultivator. 青莲山原本有一条一阶上品灵脉,不过在历代王家先祖的努力下,一阶灵脉已经培育成二阶下品灵脉,可以为筑基修士提供足够的灵气。 As for hundreds of thousands do not have the spirit root Wang Family clansman, then distributes three counties in Zhangping County, respectively is Ping'an District, Azure Cloud District and Azure Bamboo District. 至于十几万没有灵根的王家族人,则分布在长平郡内的三个县城,分别是平安县、青云县、青竹县。 Wang Family current Family Head is Wang Mingyuan, is the Wang Changsheng father, Wang Mingyuan is four spirit roots, the aptitude is not good, but he handles matters fairly and just, treats people amiably, by most clansman election is Wang Family Family Head, big or small business that is responsible for handling the family. 王家的现任家主是王明远,也是王长生的父亲,王明远是四灵根,资质并不好,不过他处事公允,待人谦和,被大多数族人推选为王家家主,负责打理家族的大小事务。 Wang Family Foundation Establishment cultivator Wang Yaozong usually rarely makes an appearance, year to year closes up the cultivation. 王家的筑基修士王耀宗平日很少露面,常年闭关修炼。 Wang Changsheng mother Liu Qinger is loose cultivator, three spirit roots, the aptitude is better than Wang Mingyuan. 王长生的母亲柳青儿是一名散修,三灵根,资质比王明远好一点。 In the past Wang Changsheng grandfather Wang Yaozu did not agree with Liu Qinger to pass through the gate, because Wang Yaozu planned that made Wang Mingyuan get married the Guangyang County Zhao Family daughter of first wife, improved relations between two, Wang Family was similar to the Zhao Family strength, two Foundation Establishment old ancestors were the good friends, this marriage was good to both sides. 当年王长生的爷爷王耀祖不同意柳青儿进门,因为王耀祖打算让王明远迎娶广阳郡赵家的嫡女,加强两家之间的关系,王家跟赵家的实力差不多,两家的筑基老祖又是好友,这门亲事对双方都有好处。 Wang Mingyuan does not comply, the stance that non- Liu Qinger does not marry, air/Qi Wang Yaozu closed/pass three years of confinement Wang Mingyuan. 王明远就是不答应,一副非柳青儿不娶的架势,气的王耀祖将王明远关了三年禁闭。 Liu Qinger waited for the Wang Mingyuan three years near Azure Lotus Mountain painstakingly, moved Wang Yaozu, this makes Liu Qinger come to meet. 柳青儿在青莲山附近苦等了王明远三年,打动了王耀祖,这才让柳青儿上门相见。 Liu Qinger holds an office for ten years in a Refiner shop, is Refiner Apprentice, Wang Yaozu knows this matter, this complied with this marriage happily. 柳青儿在一家炼器店任职十年,是一名炼器学徒,王耀祖得知此事,这才痛快的答应了这门亲事。 Wang Changsheng is an only son, is ranked ninth in the same generation, he is Gold, Water, Earth three spirit roots, main spirit root is Water, the Water Spirit Root sensitivity achieves 60, the aptitude in the same generation, is middle-grade, what he cultivates is Wang Family inherited «Cloud Rain Secret Art». 王长生是独子,在同一辈之中排行第九,他是金水土三灵根,主灵根是水,水灵根的感应度达到六十,资质在同一辈之中,算是中等,他修炼的是王家祖传的《云雨诀》。 This merit law is Yellow class First Rank merit law, can cultivation Qi Refining Ninth Layer from Qi Refining one, this merit law wins in steady, the bottleneck are few, and is extremely easy to break through. 此功法是一部黄品一阶功法,可以从炼气一层修炼到炼气九层,此功法在平稳,瓶颈少,且极易突破。 The Wang Changsheng five years old enter Dao Lecture Hall, study to be literate, are taught the Immortal Cultivator knowledge by clan elder. 王长生五岁进入讲道堂,读书识字,由族老传授修仙知识。 Eight years old start to cultivate, every month receive ten jin (0.5 kg) First Rank Low Grade spirit rice. 八岁开始修炼,每个月领取十斤一阶下品灵米。 At age 13, the Wang Changsheng promote entered Qi Refining Fourth Layer, every month can receive three jin (0.5 kg) First Rank Middle Grade spirit rice. 13岁那年,王长生晋入炼气四层,每个月可以领取三斤一阶中品灵米。 Wang Changsheng at age 16, but is Qi Refining Fourth Layer, according to the clan regulations, did not need to work at age 18, the family supplies the resources cultivation, if cannot cultivation Qi Refining Fifth Layer in 18 years old, must strive for the family, receiving in exchange cultivation resources. 王长生16岁的时候,不过是炼气四层,按照族规,18岁之前不用做事,家族供给资源修炼,若是未能在十八岁修炼到炼气五层,就要为家族出力,换取修炼资源。 Wang Family is unable to make ends meet now, Wang Mingyuan can only make young one generation come out to work two years ahead of schedule, taps new resources and reduces expenses. 王家现在入不敷出,王明远只能让年轻一辈提前两年出来做事,开源节流。 This decision, is opposed by some clan elder, the clan elder gate thinks that young one generation will be family's future, should make them cultivation to 18 years old, clan elder is willing to take own each month salary, the subsidy will give young one generation. 这一决定,遭到部分族老的反对,族老门认为年轻一辈是家族的未来,应该让他们修炼到十八岁,族老愿意把自己每个月的俸禄拿出来,补贴给年轻一辈。 Wang Mingyuan thinks that this does not solve the family difficult position the means that to convince opposition clan elder, he invited Wang Yaozong, holds the clan meeting. 王明远认为这不是解决家族困境的办法,为了说服反对的族老,他把王耀宗请了出来,召开族会。 Wang Mingyuan as Family Head, sets an example, sent own son, holds the post of Celestial Master to Ping'an District, lasted four years. 王明远身为家主,以身作则,把自己的儿子派了出去,到平安县担任天师,为期四年。 Ping'an District is in the Wang Family control three counties the condition worst county city, Wang Mingyuan sets an example, in addition the approval of Wang Yaozong, the sound of opposition also vanished. 平安县是王家控制的三个县城之中条件最差一个县城,王明远以身作则,再加上王耀宗的赞同,反对的声音也就消失了。 Because of this matter, Liu Qinger complained Wang Mingyuan in secret a lot, said that Wang Mingyuan only had Wang Family this everyone at heart, without own small family/home. 因为此事,柳青儿私下里没少埋怨王明远,说王明远心里只有王家这个大家,没有自己的小家。 At age 16, Wang Changsheng in mother longing vision, brought five jin (0.5 kg) Spirit Cake that mother is producing in a hurry at the same night, left Azure Lotus Mountain, arrived at Ping'an District. 16岁那年,王长生在母亲恋恋不舍的目光中,带着母亲连夜赶制的五斤灵糕,离开了青莲山,来到平安县。 Ping'an District is quite barren, is under-populated, is occupied by several tens of thousands of Wang Family clansmen, disperses near the villages and small towns near county city and county city. 平安县比较贫瘠,人口稀少,居住着数万名王家族人,分散在县城和县城附近的村镇。 The Wang Changsheng duty, is protects the Ping'an District mortal common people not by the violation of demon ghost. 王长生的任务,就是保护平安县的凡人百姓不受邪魔鬼怪的侵害。 Although lives in the Wang Family clansman of common custom does not have spirit root, their ancestors have spirit root, therefore, the descendants of these people have very big probability to have spirit root. 虽说居住在世俗的王家族人没有灵根,不过他们的祖上拥有灵根,因此,这些人的后裔有很大几率身怀灵根。 Therefore, Wang Family sent Immortal Cultivator guarding in the control three counties, periodic check spirit root. 为此,王家在控制的三个县城都派了修仙者驻守,定期检测灵根。 For several hundred years, live in the Wang Family clansman of common custom present more than ten to have spirit root, the Wang Yaozong parents are the mortals, because examines spirit root, this was delivered to the Azure Lotus Mountain cultivation, fostered by family, success Foundation Establishment. 数百年来,居住在世俗的王家族人出现十几名身怀灵根者,王耀宗的父母就是凡人,因为检测出灵根,这才被送到青莲山修炼,在家族的培养下,成功筑基。 Because there is a Wang Yaozong this living example, Wang Family attaches great importance to living in the clansman of common custom very much, naturally, Wang Family also took seriously other common people, the descendant who the mortal was born presents the Immortal Cultivator probability, although was very small, but Wang Family treated impartially, Wang Family sent people the common custom to examine newborn once in a while whether had spirit root, was good to supplement the fresh blood. 因为有王耀宗这个活生生的例子,王家很重视居住在世俗的族人,当然了,王家也重视其他百姓,凡人诞生的后裔出现修仙者的几率虽然很小,不过王家一视同仁,王家隔段时间派人去世俗检测新生儿是否拥有灵根,好补充新鲜血液。 The Ping'an District county magistrate was delegated by the royal government, Wang Family will not interfere with the county magistrate to handle the government affairs, if there is a demon monster to rebel, Wang Family will send Immortal Cultivator to process. 平安县的县令由朝廷委派,王家不会干涉县令处理政务,若是有邪魔妖怪作乱,王家会派修仙者处理。 Without the spirit root Wang Family clansman, or doing business, either takes part in government, Wang Family will not interfere, if their later generation have spirit root, must send to Azure Lotus Mountain. 没有灵根的王家族人,或经商,或从政,王家不会干涉,不过他们的后人若是身怀灵根,必须送去青莲山。 Wang Changsheng to the Ping'an District three years, usually lived on Lotus Island, rarely leaves Lotus Island. 王长生到平安县三年了,平日就住在莲花岛上,很少离开莲花岛。 On Lotus Island does not have spirit vein, spirit qi is light, here cultivates, the speed is very slow, he came the Ping'an District three years, but promotes a small boundary, this was he took in many spirit grain situations, without spirit grain, the Wang Changsheng five years were not necessarily able promote to enter Qi Refining Fifth Layer. 莲花岛上并没有灵脉,灵气淡薄,在这里修炼,速度很慢,他来了平安县三年,只是晋升一个小境界,这还是他服用了不少灵谷的情况下,若是没有灵谷,王长生五年都未必能晋入炼气五层。 The Spirit Pill price is quite expensive, in Wang Changsheng pouch shy, chooses edible spirit grain. 灵丹的价格比较贵,王长生囊中羞涩,选择食用灵谷。 He now is Qi Refining middle stage, suits edible First Rank Middle Grade spirit grain, the First Rank Middle Grade spirit grain 2-3 years one ripe, price in 1-2 spirit stones about. 他现在是炼气中期,适合食用一阶中品灵谷,一阶中品灵谷2-3年一熟,价格在1-2灵石左右。 Holds the post of the opportunity that Celestial Master has almost not rendered meritorious service in Ping'an District, one jin (0.5 kg) spirit grain that every month the spirit stones salary, buys together finished eating quickly, without the means that he can only take not to have spirit qi food. 在平安县担任天师几乎没有立功的机会,每个月一块灵石的俸禄,买来的一斤灵谷很快就吃完了,没办法,他只能服食没有灵气的食物。 Family Immortal Cultivator, sought the support, changed merit law grade, did not affect to read, originally was the moral behavior, changed to Yellow class 家族修仙,求支持,改了一下功法的品阶,不影响阅读,原来是人品,改成黄品了 (本章完)
