Chapter 361: There Was a Linglong Fate
In the sixteenth year of the Shenyuan era, the emperor was seriously ill, and the crown prince, acting as regent, repeatedly made mistakes. The imperial preceptor observed the celestial phenomena at night and determined that the North Pole Taiyi was not the first seat of Taiwei. However, Taiwei was obscure and elusive. To stabilize the court, he issued an order summoning all Taoists to the Imperial Academy to rectify the Purple Star Palace.
The three families of Long, Lu and Qiao were granted titles by the imperial court, so they had to go to the capital to obey orders.
At that time, the Qiao family had an only daughter who was weak, and the head of the family was very worried. When this happened, he sought advice from the imperial teacher.
The state teacher Baili Wudao once met a woman when he was young. She called herself Tumi. She had the appearance of an immortal, extraordinary cultivation, and could bring spring to life with just the touch of her hands. She was quite amazing. In her early years, she often traveled around the world and had a lot of knowledge.
However, for some unknown reason, he later retreated into the mountains and disappeared. Fortunately, there has been news about him recently.
Upon learning that this immortal had recently stayed in Youlu, the head of the Qiao family was overjoyed. After thanking the national teacher, he began to plan to take his granddaughter to Youlu.
The three families knew about the fairy Tumi. They had heard that when she was living in seclusion in the Yuanqing Sect, they had come to her house to ask for the elixir. Although they got what they wanted, they had never met her in person. Now is a great opportunity.
After discussing it with the head of the Lu family, he started to take up the matter after the incident in the capital.
The head of the Long family also has to go together. Firstly, the ancestors of the three families are one family, and they are entrusted by heaven to guard the three elements. If one side moves, the other side must move as well; secondly, since he is a powerful person, there is no reason for him to miss it.
The Three Talents Formation, designed to protect ancient demons, has recently become unstable, allowing numerous ancient demons to escape. A few years ago, a powerful demon, Zhu Yan, exploited this situation and, in collusion with the roe owl, bewitched the Qiao family, allowing them to escape the formation's suppression.
Fortunately, there was help from various Taoists at that time. Although the battle was brutal, the chaos was finally quelled.
However, this matter has always been criticized by the world, but how could the world know that with the decline of spiritual roots today, the three families are already at the end of their strength, and there is no one who can inherit the will of their ancestors.
It’s not that there are no more powerful people in the world, but most of them follow the way of inaction. That’s why most of these powerful people hide in the mountains or in the city, and are not easy to find.
Therefore, faced with such a rare and powerful being, the three families would naturally seek a way out from him.
This was the first time that four-year-old Xiao Longqi went out. He chattered all the way and was very excited.
The head of the Long family this generation, Long Feiyu, had only one wife in his life and they were very loving. They had six sons and one daughter, and the daughter was the third child and was still unmarried.
Although Long Feiyu has many children, he is hated by the demon clan because of his identity as a demon slayer. His sixth son was abducted by the demon clan when he was still an infant, and his life or death is still unknown.
Mrs. Long was extremely sad and even became ill from grief. It was not until she had little Long Qi that she began to feel better.
The pain of losing their son made the Long family take extra care of Long Qi. Even his brothers and sisters treated him like a treasure, fearing that he would get hurt.
Among them, Long Wu and Long Qi have the best relationship.
Firstly, the other brothers are old and have to take care of the clan affairs, so they can hardly get away on weekdays. Secondly, Long Wu and Long Qi are close in age, and they are twins with the sixth son of the Long family. They feel very guilty about what happened to Long Lu, so they put all their guilt and love for their younger brother on little Long Qi.
Look, this time, Long Wu accompanied me on the long journey to Youlu.
The reason why I brought Xiao Longqi with me on this trip to Youlu was mainly because I wanted to find a powerful person to see his roots.
When Xiao Longqi was born, Long Feiyu had a prophecy from his ancestors that this boy would shoulder great responsibilities in the future. However, when Long Feiyu wanted to ask more, his ancestors were unwilling to say more.
What responsibility can this little child take on?
Although he thought so, Long Feiyu did not dare to underestimate him. However, his spiritual roots were declining now, and Xiaolong was only seven years old. It was really hard to see what strengths he had, so he did this.
If you are willing to take on risky tasks but have mediocre qualifications, it is better to make plans early, right?
Little Longqi was incredibly excited the entire way, craning his little head to gaze out of the car and babbling the entire time. Little Longwu, by contrast, was much more composed. Although he rarely went out, he felt he was older and needed to be composed in front of his younger brother, not to appear inexperienced.
Looking at Long Wu, who was still a young boy but was still taking care of his younger brother all the way, Long Feiyu felt extremely relieved.
The journey from Nanhuai to Youlu was long, and the Long family's entourage traveled by horse-drawn carriage, taking over a month to arrive. Upon receiving the news, Lu Wuhuang, the head of the Lu family, had already arrived at the border with his men.
The Lu Family Fortress was a strategically located fortress, laden with traps. If an ordinary person stumbled upon it, they would be unable to escape without extraordinary abilities. Furthermore, the Long, Lu, and Qiao families were originally one, and their respective histories were well known to the heads of each family. As a sign of respect, they naturally welcomed the guests personally.
Xiao Longqi was already dazzled by the towering peaks and steep cliffs along the way. He even forgot to marvel at them and just stared straight ahead. He didn't come back to his senses until he arrived at Lu Family Castle.
After the adults went to discuss matters, the two children were placed in a courtyard and served by maids, and were given a thorough grooming.
How can a child stay here?
As soon as he changed his clothes, Long Qi started to make a fuss about going out to play. Although Long Wu was serious, he was still a child. He could not resist Long Qi's soft and hard persuasion and finally agreed to let him go, so he could only play in the yard.
But what I didn't expect was that there was already someone sitting there in the yard.
There was a little girl in the yard, who looked no more than one or two years old. She was wearing a green bodice and a small jacket, with two small buns on her head. She was sitting under a pine tree, fiddling with something in her hands.
Xiao Longqi only had time to see the little girl's back before he saw a nanny running towards him in a hurry.
"My dear, why are you out wearing so little again? It's cold in autumn now, don't catch a cold."
As the nanny spoke, she picked her up. The little girl mumbled something, but Xiao Longqi couldn't hear it clearly. When they entered the house, he saw two pine cones left where she was sitting.
At that time, Long Qi didn't know what a pine cone was. He just thought it was very interesting and as round as the chubby little girl just now.
Xiao Longqi fiddled with the pine cone for a while, and suddenly felt that it was someone else's property and he shouldn't take it for himself, so he asked Xiang Longwu: "Brother Wu, whose young lady is that?"
Long Wu naturally didn't know, so he asked the maid behind him.
"That one is the daughter of a fairy family that the master of the family invited. The little girl is so cute." The maid answered with a smile.
"Is she cute?" Xiao Longqi looked up, looking dissatisfied. "Are you as cute as me?"
His parents, brothers and sisters all say that he is the cutest.
Looking at the delicate and delicate little baby, the maid suddenly felt that he and the fairy's daughter were a perfect match, truly a golden boy and a jade girl.
"Of course the little brother is the cutest, no one else can compare to him." The maid smiled and coaxed the pouting little Long Qi.
After getting the answer from the maid, Xiao Longqi was satisfied and started fiddling with the pine cone again - he had to find a chance to return it to the little girl, otherwise he would cry if he couldn't find her.
