Chapter 119 Shen Family
Chapter 119 Shen Family
The night is slightly cooler.
The silver moon was hidden in the thick clouds, and darkness enveloped every corner of the Desolate State. In the major families in the prosperous main city area, the candlelight was dim and barely visible.
It is located at the most remote end of the main city, but the buildings are the most magnificent.
The Shen family's house was brightly lit, bustling with people and noise.
After Shen Mojin gently helped Chi Jiujiu to tie her hair, he took a qi-replenishing pill at her strong request to remove the ambiguous teeth marks on her neck that she had bitten.
The inn is not far from the Shen family.
Shen Mojin took Chi Jiujiu and flew on swords.
Chi Jiujiu has now overcome her fear of heights. Not only that, she actually enjoys the thrill of flying with a sword.
she thinks.
This should be more exciting than riding a roller coaster.
It took less than a quarter of an hour to fly from Yunlai Inn to the Shen family's area on a sword.
"Ajin, are we there yet?" Chi Jiujiu gently jumped off the phantom eagle, looked at the tall and antique gate in front of her, and asked sweetly.
The architectural style here is somewhat similar to ancient architecture, but it has a bit more charm.
Most of the ancient buildings are made of mahogany carved beams and painted pillars.
Here in the Shen family, black lightning-struck wood is used as the main building material. The carvings on the buildings are actually some ancient formation runes, which have the miraculous effect of concentrating the mind and gathering energy.
"We're here." Shen Mojin put away the phantom eagle, reached out and held the hand of a beautiful woman in a fairy-grade white feather dress, and walked in calmly.
Chi Jiujiu is 1.67 meters tall, which is not short among modern women.
Next to the tall Shen Mojin, who is 1.9 meters tall, she looks particularly petite and lovely.
A person with a slightly cold temperament, mature and steady.
A delicate and beautiful one.
Standing together, they feel inexplicably harmonious.
After the two entered through the Shen family's main gate, they first arrived at the spacious courtyard.
Continue forward along the winding corridor.
The journey was accompanied by candlelight. Occasionally, servants were seen busying about, not knowing what they were preparing. When they saw him and the beauty, they stopped and bowed.
"Sixth Master is well, Sixth Madam is well."
Shen Mojin nodded slightly.
Chi Jiujiu felt a little shy inside, but she didn't show it on her face. She gave a faint smile to the person who saluted her.
The beauty pulled her and continued walking inside.
He took her to the gate of the tallest courtyard among the many buildings.
On the plaque on the courtyard gate were inscribed three large characters "主主府" (Family Master's Mansion) with a pattern of flying dragons and phoenixes.
The beautiful lady took out a dragon-shaped jade pendant from her storage ring and pressed it on the barrier that she could not see. The barrier of the tallest building in the courtyard was quickly released.
The two walked forward and within two seconds of entering the courtyard, a black and gold door slowly opened.
The current head of the Shen family.
Shen Zhai.
Came out.
Chi Jiujiu looked at the man who looked 70% similar to the beauty. He was wearing a white robe with gold edges and embroidered with ink paintings of mountains and rivers. He had a smile on his face and looked as gentle as jade.
If you look closely, you can see that he exudes an imperceptible majesty.
This must be the beauty’s elder brother, right?
It's very pleasing at first glance.
Very friendly.
The second glance makes people feel a little scared and dare not underestimate it.
"Brother." When Shen Mojin saw Shen Zhai, he smiled in his black eyes and called out clearly.
"It's been more than 20 years. It's great to have Ajin back. This must be my sister-in-law. Seeing is believing. Thank you for taking care of Ajin all these years." When Shen Zhai saw his younger brother standing in the yard holding the hand of a beautiful woman with bright eyes and white teeth, the smile on his face grew from three points to seven points.
"Hello, big brother. I'm not worthy of your care, but Ajin has taken good care of me." Chi Jiujiu smiled and greeted Shen Zhai in a graceful manner.
Shen Zhai smiled gently and said, "Sister-in-law, Ajin, please come in."
Chi Jiujiu and Shen Mojin followed Shen Zhai into the house and sat down. There were many furnishings inside, most of which she was unfamiliar with.
"According to what Ah Jin said, my sister-in-law is not from this world?"
Shen Zhai sat opposite the two of them, brewing and pouring tea smoothly, then handed it to Chi Jiujiu. He glanced at the sandy golden curly hair on Chi Jiujiu's head that was tied up with a white jade phoenix hairpin, and asked in a clear and gentle voice.
Chi Jiujiu sat next to Shen Mojin and replied with a smile, "That's true."
Shen Zhai concealed his surprise. In fact, more than 20 years ago, A Jin had told him that his Dantian had recovered because he met a benefactor from the "upper realm" who helped him.
He was shocked at first, but also happy for Ajin.
No questions asked.
Now this benefactor.
According to what Ajin said in the letter, she was about to become his brother's wife. He looked at this "fairy" but did not detect any spiritual fluctuations from her.
Could it be that his current cultivation is not enough?
Can't detect anything?
"This is the gift that big brother prepared for my sister-in-law. I hope you won't dislike it." Shen Zhai took out a phoenix-shaped jade pendant from the jade box and handed it to Chi Jiujiu.
Chi Jiujiu looked at the exquisite jade pendant in Shen Zhai's hand.
For a moment I didn’t know whether I should accept it.
"Jiujiu, take this. This is the Shen family's jade pendant. With this jade pendant, you can enter and exit most areas of the Shen family at will. You can enjoy the highest treatment and unconditional protection of the Shen family inn and other industries in the outside world." Shen Mojin on the side spoke in a low voice, his black eyes looking at Chi Jiujiu's little face.
Chi Jiujiu took it and said sweetly, "Thank you, brother."
"You don't have to thank me, sister-in-law. This is prepared for the direct daughter-in-law of the Shen family. Now there are only me and Ajin in the direct line." Shen Zhai looked at Chi Jiujiu and said, "Now that sister-in-law is accompanying Ajin, big brother feels very relieved."
People who practice Taoism have long lives.
Very few people can become Taoist companions.
Because they have signed a contract to become Taoist companions, it means that they cannot betray each other. If one of them dies, the other will also suffer serious backlash.
Most low-level cultivators, both men and women, choose furnaces to release their lust and reproduce.
This way you don't have to be bound by the laws of the contract.
The higher the cultivation level of a monk, the harder it is for him to give birth to offspring. They don't have any requirements for offspring, nor do they have too many worldly desires.
They believe that it is extremely foolish to seek a Taoist partner with lower cultivation than themselves, who will hinder their path to ascension.
This also leads to this type of people.
It is normal to practice alone, and being lonely for thousands of years is common.
and so.
Shen Zhai was very happy that his brother had found a Taoist partner who shared the same ideals with him.
Shen Zhai and Chi Jiujiu exchanged pleasantries for a while, and after chatting with his brother about the past few years, he said, "Ajin, sister-in-law, the dinner is ready. Come with me. The elders are waiting."
Shen Mojin, "Okay, big brother."
Chi Jiujiu followed Shen Mojin obediently and let him lead her into the banquet.
The Shen family was once one of the major families in Huangzhou.
Now it has become the leader among several major families.
There are many people in the clan, with twenty-nine senior elders alone, and thousands of Shen Mojin's peers.
The moment Shen Zhai received the message from his brother, he immediately notified the elders and children who were still in the Shen family.
When Chi Jiujiu followed Shen Mojin into the banquet, she saw that there were more than two hundred people in the banquet hall.
She was slightly surprised.
"The master of the family is here, the sixth master and the sixth lady are here!" a servant shouted loudly.
