I have always felt guilty about my mother's death.Rationally speaking, I should not bear any good or bad responsibilities when I had no right to choose, but emotionally speaking, the fact is that one life is for another, and my birth was bought by my mother, so I will never It's impossible not to be indifferent to this, especially since I'm enjoying life right now.

My father's family and my mother's family are far apart in physical space. Since my father's family has a closer relationship with the cultivation world, the chances of entrusting affairs are much higher, so I chose an office near my father's family as the office. The staff, but at the same time, they are also looking at the entrustment of tasks near my mother's family. If they come to entrust, I plan to rush to deal with it.

But there should be no chance. I will only stay in the office for a few months at most. Judging from the past entrustment records of the two families, if the two families are added together, the average generation will only entrust once. It is quite low-key, or my father Niang is a solid enough backer, so that they rarely encounter things that require monks to take action in the mortal world.

But to my surprise, in the second week after I arrived at the office, the Pei family came directly to the office to see me.

Well, I didn't come to entrust things, just to see me.

Not to visit me, just 'look' at me.

"Ah, it's really much more beautiful than the photos." The visitor exclaimed to me.

Hey, girl, be careful with what you say. Although I am younger than you in appearance... well, I am also younger than you in actual age, but I am the oldest in your family except for my father and brothers and sisters. Elders are much higher in seniority, so be polite to me, for example, don't be crazy.

"Hello, Ancestor Lin." The visitor saluted me very respectfully.

Me: "...Just call me Pei Lin." You don't need to be so polite, just a little more polite.

"How can it be, Senior Lin," the visitor said with a grin, "My name is Pei Cen, a descendant of the elder Pei Ji's family. The family asked me to come over for a face-to-face meeting. If Senior Lin needs help, just ask, the family is in the local area. Even if you are a coward, it will be much more convenient for us to do some small things. Oh, can I call you Senior Lin? Because everyone’s surname is Pei, so it’s weird to be called Senior Pei. This is my contact information. If you need anything, you can tell me directly That's all right, I promise to get it done for you."

This Miss Pei Cen spoke a little faster, but her words were crisp and clear, with a sense of rhythm, which made me stunned for a while.

I know this Miss Pei Cen, I dug through the genealogy and other information on both sides of my parents, and sent them to my father. The part about children with spiritual roots in each generation is always very detailed.Pei Cen is a child of the Pei family's generation with spiritual roots.

Every generation of the Pei family will focus on cultivating children with spiritual roots, and treat them as the core. Even though many of these children will only stop at the Qi training period, at most the foundation building period, because they only have five spiritual roots, they pay special attention to cultivation. The Pei family has always had a tradition, and because of my father's existence, this tradition has not been weakened because there are no more talented children born for a long time, but it has gradually become a natural practice.

It is customary to be especially good to children with spiritual roots, so that children with spiritual roots can focus on cultivation and ignore everything else; it is also customary to let children without spiritual roots not be attached to spiritual roots, and live a good life in the mortal world.

Because after my father, the children with spiritual roots in the Pei family returned to the state of up to four spiritual roots, and when they went to apply for the school, they often couldn't get better, so many children, especially those with five spiritual roots, chose to stay. Cultivating at home, anyway, under the care of my father, the accumulation of cultivation resources of the Pei family over the years is barely comparable to that of the bottom of the third-rate schools.

My father has no opinion on this, except for a very few children who he thinks are more focused and may have a chance to hit the golden alchemy, he no longer gives martial arts advice to the Pei family.The Pei family used to be terrified by this seemingly laissez-faire attitude, worrying that their lack of self-improvement had offended their ancestors.

My father explained: "I'm not angry. Although the Pei family's children are somewhat lacking in drive, their temperament is not bad. The cultivation foundation at home is no worse than going to the sect." He himself is an example of this. His Qi training period The foundation was laid in the Pei family, and Yunxiazong expressed satisfaction with this foundation back then, not to mention the current Pei family's entry-level exercises and my father's fine-tuning, which is more suitable for the Pei family's entry-level cultivation.

After the compliment, my father said the main point: "It's just that I can't finish the foundation, so of course there is no need to go to the sect or the realm of self-cultivation to focus on further cultivation."

The Pei family was ashamed: Elder Pei meant that the meaning of the translation is that the qualifications of the family members are too poor, and it is even difficult to get started. There is no difference between the mortal world and the cultivation world.

Elder Pei: "Don't worry, if there is a genius, I will take it by my side and raise it."

The Pei family is grateful.However, I heard Elder Huigu said that my father's so-called "received by his side" means that he is afraid that the Pei family will praise the ordinary genius too much like they raised him back then, and it will hurt too much after falling. Detour lessons from childhood.

I asked Elder Huigu: "Is the monk education of the Pei family bad?"

Elder Huigu: "It's nothing bad, kids are pretty good at being beaten. Look at your father now, no matter how others praise him, it's as if he didn't hear it. He is definitely not drifting. I have experienced in my youth what it means to be completely sincere, There are no bad-hearted compliments, and I have also experienced the bad consequences of smugness. There is no lack of love and profound lessons. From the perspective of long-term development, it is a good thing. Of course, like he did to the three of you, you have been educated by setbacks since childhood, and you will take advantage of the opportunity. It's not bad to scold. Anyway, his Pei family's genes are still causing trouble, and he still can't help pampering children. It still makes you not lack love and self-reflection."

"For example?" I listened attentively to how I was spoiled.

Elder Huigu: "Enlighten yourself."

0682_ sound repair

Miss Pei Cen, Wulinggen, has just entered the Qi training period, and has chosen a career direction of music repair.

Hmm... Pei's family tested their spiritual roots from birth, and they started to practice as soon as they could remember. Under these circumstances, Pei Cen was only in his twenties and just started practicing qi. Building a foundation is very difficult, and if he can't build Ji, in fact, it doesn't matter which profession you choose, the qi training period can't reflect the characteristics of the profession at all.

Sound repair is also a minority profession in the cultivation world, and its cultivation relies on sound.Singing, the sound of musical instruments, roaring, wind, water, talking, hungry...all the sounds in the world can become the way of sound cultivation.

In the realm of comprehension, Qingyinya, a second-rate sect, is quite outstanding in sound cultivation.A high-level Yinxiu is also very destructive in battle, with powerful range attacks.However, half-baked sound repairs can easily accidentally injure their own side, or even accidentally injure themselves.

In fact, people with poor spiritual roots and no special hobbies or aptitudes are not recommended to choose a minority occupation, because the minority not only means that there will be less or even few relevant learning materials that are made public, but also means that such Occupations have some special requirements that ordinary people cannot meet.Especially in terms of understanding.For example, Confucianism cultivators and divination masters can be regarded as a complete system if they can provide top-notch sects and their cultivation methods, but even if they teach them personally, many people are completely unable to practice these professions.

In contrast, such as sword repair, dan repair, etc., as long as you have spiritual roots and work hard, you can see real progress almost every day at the beginning stage, which has an obvious motivating effect.

Sound repair is also a kind of profession that tests special understanding, and tests the sensitivity to sound.Sensitivity to hearing, sensitivity to vocalization, some people with physiological five-tone insufficiency, it is more difficult to take the path of sound cultivation.Then, a creature like me who doesn't even feel good or bad after listening to a song, only understands the lyrics, and has no artistic talent, is basically insulated from sound repair.

0683_little envy

I asked Pei Cen: "Is there anything you need to entrust Yun Xiazong to do?"

Pei Cen shook his head: "No, life at home is pretty good. I met a naughty little ghost a while ago, and I solved it myself."

I was curious: "How did you solve it?"

Pei Cen: "I soared a high note, and it broke."

I:"……"

Pei Cen laughed twice: "Actually, I screamed in fright. But I really don't blame me. I went to the bathroom in the middle of the night and saw a bloody image in the mirror out of the corner of my eye. I don't want to scream." Is it called? In fact, I haven’t seen its specific appearance, but it feels terrible.”

Me: "Sound attack, you are quite talented."

Pei Cen: "...Eh, senior Lin knows that I have chosen the profession of music repair?"

I nodded.

Pei Cen smiled a little embarrassedly: "Actually, I also think that my choice is too overreaching, but I just want to try, anyway..." She lowered her voice, as if whispering, "Anyway, with me No matter what profession I choose, it is actually very difficult to build a foundation, and my family didn't point out that I can perform any miracles. With Senior Lin and you here, we juniors can relax and try our best, but failed Nothing to lose."

Me: "It is better to build a foundation if you can live a happy life, of course the longer the better, and the less pain."

Pei Cen: "Yes, I think so too. First earnestly practice Qi to keep your body healthy, and then work hard to build a foundation to double your lifespan. But sometimes I envy other people of the same generation in the family. They can freely choose their hobbies and careers freely. , but I can only choose to practice, I am not allowed to participate in any property in the family, and even if I want to find a job, I am only allowed to find something that is free and does not delay my practice."

Me: "They can choose any profession in the mortal world, and you can choose any profession in the cultivation world, which is fairer."

"But I live in the mortal world after all." Pei Cen sighed, "Oh, I'm sorry, I complained to you. I know that my peers at home also have a lot of envy that I can practice, but they can only look at me Cultivation, watching the elders support me and satisfy all my material needs, if I have a conflict with someone, the family will definitely protect me unconditionally, even if it is actually my fault. We are all envious of each other, it is really greedy .”

Me: "Do you want to live in the cultivation world for a while?"

"No, no, no," Pei Cen quickly shook his head and waved his hands, "I still like my current life very much. Although there is a little bit of dissatisfaction, I know that it is my own mentality. I will work hard to overcome it and cultivate my heart well. "

Me: "It's okay. It's not a long-term stay, just stay for a few days, just treat it as a relaxation, maybe it will help you overcome your mentality problems. Even if it's not beneficial, it's good to see the scenery."
