Chapter 118 Biography
The construction of the spirit detection platform has been proceeding in an orderly manner. When everything stabilized, Zhang Zhixuan left all the trivial matters to Zhang Mengling and Zhang Mengjian, and returned to Lingjing Mountain.
Lingjing Mountain is a small mountain. This third-level low-grade spiritual vein has more abundant spiritual energy than the one on Tiantai Peak due to the help of the Spirit Gathering Tree.
There are three spiritual points on Tiantai Peak, and the spiritual energy is almost divided into three parts.
As for the small mountain Lingjing Mountain, there is only one spiritual cave, which is in the spiritual well where the formation eye is placed. Even the spirit-gathering tree is planted near the spiritual well.
Although the place with the most abundant spiritual energy is near the spiritual well, Zhang Zhixuan and Qingchan’s cave is not next to the spiritual well, but on the spiritual well mountain a mile away.
Although the aura here is not as good as that near the spiritual well, it is still enough for Zhang Zhixuan and his two brothers to practice qi.
After successfully cultivating third-level spiritual veins, the family moved a considerable number of monks to the vicinity of Lingjing Mountain.
In addition to the ten people stationed near Lingtian, more than 20 young people also moved to the back hill of Lingjing Mountain.
These young men were all underage monks from their families. They used to practice at the Wangyue Pavilion spiritual cave. Some time ago, Zhang Zhixuan made the decision to give up the spiritual cave at Wangyue Pavilion to the Zhou family, so these young men moved to Lingjing Mountain.
Because they are very close, Zhang Zhixuan, as the foundation-building elder of the family, will always teach them if possible.
Recently, Zhang Zhixuan has discussed with the clan leader that if they are free, they will give a lecture to them once a month. Zhang Zhixuan said that the law was on the third day of the lunar month, while the patriarch Zhang Leqian said that the law was on the 21st.
If the monks in the foundation-building period are busy with something, they should also arrange for the elders of the ninth level to take over their place and teach the young people of the family.
Of course, this task will also bring rich family good deeds. Every morning Zhang Zhixuan teaches them the Dharma, he can get twenty good deeds.
Elders at the ninth level of Qi training can also gain ten good deeds by teaching the Dharma.
Since becoming the elder of the ninth level of qi training, Zhang Zhixuan has accumulated more than 2,000 family merits. Except for the patriarch Zhang Leqian, he is now the person with the most merits in the family.
Not counting this, the family still owes him eight thousand spiritual stones in the public accounts.
Not counting these eight thousand spiritual stones, nor the high-grade spiritual stone in Qingchan’s hand.
Zhang Zhixuan and Qing Chan have accumulated more than 4,000 spiritual stones in more than 20 years, and they are also the richest among the family monks.
The two of them have no shortage of spiritual stones or techniques, and their cultivation progress has been very rapid, although Zhang Zhixuan has not yet reached the breakthrough level.
But every day, his mana increased, far from reaching a bottleneck.
It took almost four years for Qingchan to master the soul-nurturing technique. After another six years, she would be able to master the soul-nurturing technique, and the family would be able to add a foundation-building monk.
By then, the Zhang family’s power will be second only to the Wu family, and the family will be more prosperous.
Three hundred years after the founding of the family, the family has been developing. Although there have been twists and turns and troughs, the population base of the family has been increasing.
Zhang Tairen, the first-generation monk in the family, counted his wife and concubines, and there were only three first-generation monks.
By the second generation of Zhang Chuyun, only seven of his brothers and sisters had spiritual roots, and including their Taoist companions, there were only eleven.
There are 16 brothers and sisters in Zhang Leqian’s generation. If Taoist companions are included, there are 21 monks in this generation.
Aunt Hanyan’s generation, including her, has a total of twenty-four people, and including their Taoist companions, there are already thirty-one people.
Zhang Zhixuan’s generation now has twenty-six brothers and sisters, surpassing Meng’s generation. Moreover, the number of monks of the same generation is still increasing, such as Seventeenth Uncle, Nineteenth Uncle, and Twenty-third Uncle. They continue to take concubines and have children, and their children are all ranked among the best.
Among the monks of Si Zi generation, some of the older ones have grown up, and the oldest ones are more than ten years older than Zhang Zhixuan.
There are now nine monks from the Tongzi generation who have come down.
Starting from the year before last, the child of Zhang Tonghai, the second eldest son of the Tongzi generation, was found to be from Huailinggen. He was already registered in the Yuanzi generation and was named Zhang Yuansheng.
Now, compared to when Zhang Zhixuan just came down from the mountain, even after suffering heavy losses in Xihefang, the number of monks in the family has increased to eleven.
The family monks in the back mountain of Lingjing Mountain are all underage.
Among these twenty-six young men, there are three generations, not only Zhang Zhixuan’s brothers and sisters, but also his children and nephews, and even one of his grandchildren.
Young people who are monks in these families have been taught by their elders to follow Zhang Zhixuan’s example since they were born.
But this was the first time for most of them to see Zhang Zhixuan, a legendary monk in the family.
Although a young man has an independent personality, monks need to carefully suppress their nature at the beginning of their practice and must only be steady. If you are not careful, if the magic power circulates in the meridians incorrectly, it will leave irreparable regrets.
So even though they met Zhang Zhixuan, the family idol, these teenagers behaved relatively well.
Seeing everyone sitting quietly below, Zhang Zhixuan began to teach the Fa for the first time.
The main concern of family inheritance is those with good spiritual roots and those who are expected to build a foundation.
It is impossible for Zhang Zhixuan to start from the innate stage and talk about the experience of meditating and practicing Qi, opening up the meridians and refining the first ray of spiritual energy.
If they want to talk about this, they can just find an elder in the Qi training stage instead of bothering Zhang Zhixuan, a master in the foundation building stage.
Today is the first time that Zhang Zhixuan teaches the Dharma. What he wants to talk about is the monk’s ability to escape.
The first spell Zhang Zhixuan learned was the art of lightening one’s body.
The spell of light body is very practical for low-level monks.
Especially monks in the early stages of Qi training have insufficient mana, have learned very few spells, and basically have no extra mana-wielding magic weapons.
At this time, if you encounter danger, the light body technique is very useful.
The reason why Zhang Zhixuan survived the Xihefang Rebellion was because of this magic.
Because he was able to skillfully use light body techniques and his explosive power far exceeded his opponent’s, he was able to escape several times, which ultimately delayed him for three days.
After a pair of wooden talismans regained their power, they killed the enemy in the cave.
Zhang Zhixuan feels that his experience is very useful.
The monks in the early stages of Qi training in the family are basically placed in safe places.
Once these places are in danger, relying on them will not work at all. It is better to let them learn more life-saving skills, maybe they can save their lives.
In Xihefang City back then, if the low-level monks in the family could use the light body technique, maybe a few more people could escape.
