Fairy cage

Stars appeared during the day, and a little spiritual light appeared in the sky above Qianzhou Daocheng, getting bigger and bigger, as if stars in the void were falling towards the mountains and seas.

Even though Qian Gong had already announced in Qianzhou Daocheng that immortals would come to Qianzhou Daocheng, many people in the city were still frightened by the scene in front of them, thinking that the sky was falling.

And some people who had some knowledge were excited and kept shouting:

"Qian Gong really didn't tell lies. I, Qianzhou, have produced a first-grade golden elixir!"

"With so many immortals coming, what else can happen except for someone achieving a first-class elixir? Haha!"

Shouts of exclamation and joy appeared in various areas of Qianzhou City.

And inside the Qianzhou Dao Palace, there is a residence with excellent spiritual veins.

There are two figures leaning on the mottled wooden door, holding hands with each other, looking at the mysterious scene on the ceiling from a distance.

They also covered their mouths and shouted softly, their faces full of joy, but after the joy, there was an indescribable feeling of complexity and sadness, as if earthworms saw the blue sky and knew how big or small they were.

"Brother Lie..."

Apart from these two people, there were two groups of people in Qianzhou Daocheng, both looking up at the sky with complicated expressions.

The old people among them had extremely disappointed faces, and they kept chanting: "What a pity, what a pity!"

"I should have regretted it before! If I had waited and taken good care of Taoist Yu Lie's godmother, our Yu family would now be a wealthy family in the world of mountains and seas!"

These two groups of people were the Yu family members who were brought into Qianzhou Daocheng by Yu Lie and lived in separate groups.

Over the years, the Yu family has been taken care of by the Taoist court, and their lives are considered good. After decades of development, they have restored their original appearance, and can be regarded as a small family in Qianzhou Taoist City.

But so far, no Taoist-level figure has appeared in the two Yu families. No matter how good they are, they will not be able to gain recognition in Qianzhou Daocheng.

"Grandpa, are you serious about what you said! Did Taoist Priest Yu Lie really leave my home?"

When the young disciples of the Youyu family heard this, they couldn't help shouting in surprise.

But faced with such an answer, the elders in both families were trembling with fear and did not dare to give a definite answer.

There is no other reason for this. Although the Yu family has been cared for by Qianzhou Dao Palace in recent years, they have also been warned many times and they are strictly prohibited from showing off outside under the banner of Yu Lie.

In the two remaining tribes, there were young people who were bold, did not believe in evil, and insisted on getting close to each other.

The Taoist Palace did not personally take action, but other people of their generation had encountered accidents. Either they were discovered by other families in the city and destroyed them, or they were injured or disabled in accidents.

In recent years, the Yu family has long understood that this must be a conscious effort by the Taoist palace to reduce their presence in order to prevent the Yu family ancestor from causing trouble and damaging his practice.

Faced with such a situation, even though both Yu families were unwilling to do so, there was nothing they could do.

Especially when they thought of the scene when Yu Lie rescued the Yu family, their hearts became even more silent. Based on Yu Lie's own temperament, even if the entire clan moved closer and cried loudly, they would most likely be brushed aside with disdain.

And becoming a family of such an expert, while having wealth, will also be accompanied by great risks.

On the contrary, now under the jurisdiction of Qianzhou Dao Palace, it is the safest and most secure to live in a small family in Qianzhou Dao City. With the care of the Taoist Palace, as long as the Yu family does not show off too much, they will be more stable than all the families in the city.

In the silent Yu family, someone suddenly chuckled.

The person who laughed was an old woman. Although she was dressed simply, she stood in front of all the Yu family members. The people around her, whether they were the elderly or young people of the Yu family, all respected her.

"It is a blessing for Qianzhou to have such a person born in Qianzhou. Even my Yu family can take advantage of it and celebrate."

The old woman said slowly: "But if you celebrate, celebrate. If someone wants to follow the dragon and the phoenix, and make up the relationship between us and that adult, our Yu family is too small to be included in the genealogy, and they can go out on their own."

These words made the people in the hall who were still noisy feel trembled.

The matter of creating a genealogy was brought up, but no matter how much they had thoughts in their minds, they had no choice but to suppress it.

In the silence, the old woman turned to look at one of the old people and asked: "How many young people will go out on their own and establish their own families this year?"

That person was the current patriarch of the Yu family. Hearing the question from the ancestors of the clan, he immediately responded with his hands raised:

"Reporting back to my ancestors, there are three tribes that have established themselves abroad this year. Two of them are in Taozhou and Myanmar, and the other one has traveled a million miles away. I heard it is called Dingzhou."

Hearing this, the old woman's eyes brightened slightly, and she became interested, and said: "That's good, there are actually people who have gone to such an unfamiliar place and managed to set their feet."

The head of the Yu family hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice: "But that person seems to have been married into a run-down local clan. His descendants even changed their surname to 'Yu', not 'Yu'. I don't know about this lineage." , can it be regarded as spreading out..."

The man used his magic power to write the word "Yu" in mid-air.

The old woman didn't care: "Why don't you count it? Take out all the clan's treasury this year, divide it into three parts, and send someone to hand it over to them."

After a pause, she changed her words: "That's all, divide it into four parts. The one who is wandering away is too far away from home, and he is a wife, so the situation is not good. You and he will share two parts."

"Yes." The head of the Yu family agreed immediately.

There were young disciples in the hall who were participating in such a clan meeting for the first time. They heard that their ancestor wanted to empty out the entire Yu family's wealth in a few words, and the clan leader and others did not object.

They couldn't help but make noise again and whispered: "Here, we have taken out all the spiritual stone supplies, what should we do next year? Several shops in the clan are also in shortage of spiritual stones and raw materials recently. !”

"What's wrong with our ancestors? Even if we want to spread more branches and leaves, we can't draw blood from the clan like this!"

When the head of the Yu family heard these discussions, the humble expression on his face immediately changed. He turned his head, stared hard at the young people who were talking, and ordered:

"Take four months of their stipends, confiscate them all, and give them to the three clan members outside."

This made the young people who were worried about the family's assets suddenly change their expressions and hurriedly wanted to argue, but the people around them immediately silenced them, dragged them down, and strictly disciplined them.

When the young people were dragged down, the old woman looked at them with a dumbfounded smile, and whispered: "The salary of these young people comes from the provisions of this old man. Young people are strong and cannot delay any longer." ”

The head of the Yu family immediately said: "Yes. When they know more about things, they will understand the hard work and intentions of our ancestors."

The old woman was noncommittal, closed her eyes slightly, and finally said: "After the clan has suffered a loss, when you need to borrow money, just let me know at that time. While I am still breathing, I still know a few people in the Dao Palace. , If you can borrow as much as you can, borrow as much as you can.”

As soon as she finished speaking, she slowly walked out of the lobby with the support of several women from the Yu family.

"Our ancestors are wise!"

The Yu family led a group of clan members and quickly bowed towards the old woman.

Amidst the shouts, many young members of the Yu family also showed thoughtful expressions, and from time to time, some looked excited.

"Being able to borrow spirit stones from the Taoist Palace without fear of debt collection, or perhaps the Taoist Palace has never debted my Yu family in recent years. Is this kind of face really brought by our ancestors?"

"It seems that our Yu family is really related to that Taoist master Yu Lie. Otherwise, how dare our ancestors spare time from the clan's resources every year to help clan members outside the country get married and start a business."

"The clan's decades-long policy of spreading branches and leaves has encouraged us to go further and further. It seems to be quite meaningful."

This matter was indeed as these young people suspected, and the old woman's deep meaning was hidden in this matter.

This old woman is none other than Yu Lieganniang's daughter, Yu Honglian.

After experiencing the imprisonment of the Yu family in Diive County, she also understood the possible risks of being a Taoist priest's bloodline, especially her younger brother's bloodline.

At the same time, Yu Honglian also knew the attitude of her younger brother and Zi Zhuzi in Qianzhou Dao Palace towards the Yu family, that is, not to cause trouble for Yu Lie, live a good life and continue the bloodline of the ancestors.

It just so happened that she herself thought the same way.

The entire Yu family, including her, is the greatest contribution of the Yu family to not causing trouble to Yu Lie and not becoming a threat to others or a factor that interferes with Yu Lie.

Therefore, Yu Honglian formulated a method to continuously separate the families, and the farther they were separated, the better. Women in the family also preferred to marry as far away as possible, and it was not considered a shame for men to change their surnames when they married into children.

In this way, even if all the Yu family in Qianzhou are caught and killed, the bloodline of the Yu family will not be cut off, let alone become a handle for others to persecute Yu Lie.

As for the method of taking time out of the family property of the Yu family every year, Yu Honglian deliberately took advantage of it by relying on the fact that the Yu family was Yu Lie's direct family after all.

After all, although the Qianzhou Dao Palace will not give them much help, it will never allow the Yu family to fall apart. They will support them, especially when she, Yu Honglian, is still alive.

………………

Yu Lie was unaware of the fluctuations in Qianzhou Daocheng.

However, after he met Zi Zhuzi, he glanced around Zi Zhuzi while being happy, frowning slightly, and did not see the other two figures.

But now that the immortals are here, it is not the time to care about such private matters.

Yu Lie faced the crowd of immortals descending from the sky and shouted:

"The rest of the younger generation has met all the immortals. Today, the immortals are coming. Qianzhou is far away to welcome you, but we still hope to see Haihan!"

One aura after another, suspended above the purple mountain.

After hearing Yu Lie's greeting, faces appeared, nodding towards Yu Lie, looking kind and smiling without saying a word.

Some immortals gently waved their hands, and golden lotuses fell from the sky and floated towards Yu Lie; another immortal breathed softly, and clouds and mist emerged out of thin air, evolving into palaces and buildings, and also fell towards Yu Lie.

Another immortal clapped his hands, and groups of graceful women from various ethnic groups came towards Zishan in groups. Some people directly took out the spirit stones, and they fell like rain...

The immortals who came to the banquet took out the gifts they had prepared without saying a word.

This surprised and surprised Yu Lie, who was still thinking about chatting with his counterpart.

Fortunately, at this time, Tianwenzi Dixian, who had met him before, appeared and said kindly: "Please accept it all. These are old guys like us. A little support for the descendants of Shanhai is nothing."

At the same time, there was a secret message that rang in Yu Lie's ears: "The Great Heavenly Lord issued an order that no one in the Immortal Court should interfere too much with you, and a silence order was given to prevent anyone from exerting influence. This time, only I act as the messenger. , before we can negotiate with you.

Just watch these immortals from a distance, don't pay too much attention to them. Today is, after all, your celebration. "

Yu Lie was slightly startled when he heard this.

He thought it was because the immortals were being reserved and maintaining their identity, so no one spoke, but he didn't expect that it was the Great Heavenly Lord who ordered them not to speak.

This made Yu Lie extremely surprised, and he had a clear understanding of the Great Heavenly Lord's control over the immortals in the Immortal Courtyard.

It should be noted that he had already counted a bunch of immortals just now, and the number of immortals who came to attend the meeting today was close to a thousand. In addition, there are some immortals who don't like to appear in person, and are secretly watching, or have not descended into incarnations.

It is really remarkable that the Great Heavenly Lord can make so many immortals dare not disobey it with just one order.

Nearly a thousand light groups were suspended above the Purple Mountain, like nearly a thousand suns, and various spiritual objects were sprinkled down, dazzling everyone.

Even the mortal Taoists in the entire Qianzhou Dao City were dazzled by the sight, enjoying some benefits and shouting incessantly.

After Yu Lie greeted nearly a thousand immortals, he found that he really didn't recognize these immortals and it was difficult to greet them, so he chose to follow Tian Wenzi's advice and treat them as background.

Next in line after the immortals, what appeared in Yu Lie's eyes were other Daocheng envoys who had arrived in Qianzhou early and were waiting for him.

In order, the other people shouted auspicious words such as "Congratulations to Liezi for the success of Dan" one by one, and presented congratulatory gifts to Yu Lie.

Just collecting the rewards from the immortals and sorting out the congratulatory gifts from the envoys took all the people who had caused trouble in the Immortal Palace and the Qianzhou Taoist Palace to work for a long time. Yu Lie himself had no time to do anything, so he received the gifts with a soft hand and a happy face. The smile froze.

at the same time.

There are people secretly with expressions on their faces that are completely opposite to Yu Lie's, either extremely jealous or extremely gloomy.

Among them was a group of men. Their focus was not on Yu Lie, but on the nearly a thousand immortals above Yu Lie's head. Their expressions were also the most sinister.

"You are truly an immortal!"

Someone said reluctantly:

"Damn it! How could these evil cultivators from mountains and seas develop to such an extent in just thirty thousand years..."
