From the family treasure tree to build an eternal family

Chapter 48 Will
Xu Fugui was busy planting medicinal herb seedlings in the fields for a few days and had planted five acres of Chinese wolfberry.

"Then plant another five mu of blue vines, and this herb field will be complete."

"There are another fifty acres of land..."

He couldn't help but feel a headache when he thought of the hundred acres of land that had been added to his family's property.

Of the one hundred acres of land, thirty acres were originally rented by Xu Xiaoniu, and he took back twenty acres, so fifty acres were vacant.

As for the other fifty acres, they had signed a long-term lease. The sale would not break the lease, and they could not recover it for the time being, but fortunately, the rent was paid annually.

Xu Fugui's eighty acres of land were already at his limit, and he didn't have the energy to manage another fifty acres. Xu Xiaogou and Xu Xiaoyun at home were not good at farming and could not help.

"Looks like I'll have to hire two helpers next spring."

he thought.

When it was almost time for dinner, he returned home.

In the main room, everyone sat around the table.

When Xu Xiaogou saw his father and fourth brother, he excitedly told them what happened during the day: "Dad, I'm going to have an immortal friend..."

He was beaming with joy and recounted the entire incident in detail.

This was the third time he told the story, the first time to Jiazhen, and the second time to Xu Xiaoxia and Xu Xiaoan.

Immortal accepting a disciple? Spiritual root test?
Xu Fugui fell into deep thought.

When he first crossed over, he had his spiritual roots tested in order to cultivate immortality, but the results disappointed him.

When he awakened the space in his body and the family treasure tree, he knew that the opportunity to cultivate immortality lay within himself.

After years of understanding and experience, he realized that the difficulty of cultivating immortals was much greater than he had imagined.

The path to becoming an immortal is to go against the will of heaven, to fight against heaven and earth, against others, and against oneself.

Xu Fugui had never heard of any so-called "immortal sect" or "immortal gate", only individual immortal cultivation families.

I think the resources for cultivating immortals are extremely precious, and no immortal is willing to waste resources on outsiders who have no blood relationship with him.

The "master-disciple" relationship is not solid, far less reliable than the family bloodline relationship, so immortals rarely accept disciples.

Xu Fugui had read novels and watched animations in his previous life, and knew that immortals had many magical methods, such as possessing bodies, refining poisons, refining human pills, soul flags, and stripping spiritual roots.

An immortal, under the pretext of recruiting disciples, is testing spiritual roots and looking for people with spiritual roots. Who can know his real purpose?

"I'm telling you one thing. From now on, all of you, including your children and grandchildren, must stay away from such things. You are not allowed to join in the fun, and you are not allowed to worship immortals as your teachers."

He was serious and solemn.

"what?"

"why?"

"Dad, isn't it a great thing to have an immortal as your master?"

None of the children, including Jiazhen, understood.

Xu Fugui knew that if he didn't say anything serious, no one would realize the danger: "There are many immortals in Tonggu County. Have you heard of any immortal accepting a disciple? No one will treat you well for no reason, except your parents.

If you are tempted by the immortal fate, what you are waiting for may not be the immortal fate, but disaster!"

"In short, no spiritual root testing is allowed, and no worshipping immortals as teachers is allowed. This is included in the family rules, and everyone must abide by it!"

From now on, the Xu family will be a clan of immortals themselves and will not need to worship other immortals as their teachers.

"I know dad."

"Dad, when did our family have family rules?"

"From today on, our family has family rules. That was the first one."

Xu Fugui felt the need to establish family rules. As his children grew older and were about to have grandchildren, he felt the need to establish family rules to restrain everyone for the family's development.

after dinner.

"San Gou, let's go and continue practicing flying swords tonight."

Xu Fugui planned to take Xu Xiaogou to the fields to practice flying sword.

Xu Fugui copied down the first part of the book "Basics of Flying Sword Techniques", the "Introduction", and taught it to Xu Xiaogou as an ordinary hidden weapon flying sword technique.

The two would practice in the fields for half an hour every night.

As I walked to the gate, I saw Zhao Shuai coming.

"Uncle Fugui, I need help from Brother Gou."

"Okay, then you guys tell me."

Xu Xiaogou brought Zhao Shuai into the east wing and lit the candles. "Zhao Shuai, when are you leaving with the master?"

"Right now, Master is waiting for me."

"Now?" Xu Xiaogou couldn't help but feel his eyes warmed when he learned that his good friend was about to leave and they might never see each other again in this life.

"this is for you."

Zhao Shuai took out a stack of land deeds and a letter from his arms: "The deeds to my family's 100 mu of land, and my suicide note. It says that if I don't come back in ten years, I will consider myself dead and the 100 mu of land will belong to you. You take the suicide note and the deeds to the government office to transfer the ownership.

After I leave, my family's fields will be given to your family to cultivate. You just need to pay the land tax every year."

"Well...wait a minute, I'll ask my dad to get you the money."

Xu Xiaogou was about to leave as he spoke. A hundred mu of land would cost dozens of taels of silver in rent each year.

Zhao Shuai grabbed him and said, "No need, Brother Gou. I follow the Immortal Master and don't need money."

"That's right, you will be an immortal in the future. I'm so jealous."

Xu Xiaogou concealed his reluctance, opened his arms and gave Zhao Shuai a tight hug.

"I'm going to tell you something, don't tell anyone else."

He whispered in Zhao Shuai's ear that the bandit was dead.

"What?! Really?"

Zhao Shuai was trembling all over. If he had any regret, it was that the murderer of his family had not been found.

"real."

Xu Xiaogou reached for his waist and a palm-sized flying sword appeared in his hand. "That man came to my house to steal and was discovered. We had a hard time killing him. My father was worried that the bandit had accomplices or friends, so he kept it a secret.

My arm was injured by a flying sword before."

"Good, good, good death! Huh~~"

Zhao Shuai was very excited, and the resentment that had been accumulating in his heart for a long time dissipated.

The two exchanged a few parting words and parted reluctantly.

----

In the Xu family orchard.

Winter is approaching, and the fruit trees are bare, with fallen leaves piled on the ground.

On the branch of a fruit tree hung a wooden target made by Xu Fugui.

A white light flashed under the moonlight, and the pocket flying sword hit the bull's eye with a "swish", and the blade penetrated half an inch.

Another white light flashed, and the second flying sword hit the bull's eye.

"Ten meters away, the accuracy is pretty good."

Xu Fugui walked to the wooden target and pulled out the two flying swords.

After practicing for more than half a month, he could already accurately hit the center of the bull's eye from ten meters away. For a human, it would hit right between the eyebrows.

"Next, practice fifteen meters."

He walked fifteen meters away, shook his wrist, and the power of a mid-level warrior burst out. The flying sword drew a straight line in the air and hit the wooden target.

This time there was a two-inch deviation.

According to the description in "The Basics of Flying Swordsmanship", his strength is still far from enough.

Even without using spiritual energy, there are still many tricks to the art of flying swords.

Ten meters, twenty meters, thirty meters, and even fifty meters, from static targets to dynamic targets, whether it can penetrate armor, and the angle, as well as difficult techniques such as arc flying swords, double swords flying, and three swords flying.

Xu Fugui has only been practicing for half a month, and there is still some practice to do.

He shot out two flying swords, and then another flying sword flew from farther away and hit the bull's eye.

It was Xu Xiaogou. He did learn things faster and with greater precision than his father.

"Dad, Zhao Shuai just gave me his family's land deed."

Xu Xiaogou came from a distance.

"what?"

"He wrote a suicide note, saying if he didn't come back in ten years, he would give the field to me."

"You have to pay him. I'll give it to him."

"No need, Dad. He's gone. He said that he doesn't need money as he follows the immortal master."

"...I'll give it to him next time he comes back."

Xu Fugui thought that he had to take care of another hundred acres of land.

With so much land, his family no longer has to worry about food and clothing.
