Volume 1: Rebellion in Chang'an Chapter 49: Mihe Town
There are hundreds of large and small cultivation families around Zhenjiang City.
However, there are only thirty-six families with Jindan cultivators, which are known as the Thirty-six Major Cultivation Families of Zhenjiang.
The Lu family, where Lu Qingshan’s predecessor came from, is one of the thirty-six major cultivation families.
The Lu family is located on .
Even a family of cultivators will always need the support of secular forces.
Mihe Town is a secular town located at the foot of Mihe Peak and belongs to the Lu family.
The family business that his predecessor was in charge of caused him to travel frequently between Mihe Town and Zhenjiang City, and he was very familiar with the roads there.
Lu Qingshan followed his memory and walked for a day, finally entering Mihe Town.
The Lu family has occupied Mihe Peak for a long time, and after years of development, Mihe Town is actually very prosperous.
The roads in the city are all paved with bluestone. Not only are they clean and tidy, but the long streets, where two carriages can run side by side, are also crowded with people, making the city extremely bustling.
Most of the houses along the road are two- or three-storey buildings, many of which have carved beams and painted buildings, showing their luxury.
The western area of Mihe Town is home to a large number of businesses, with good public security and an elegant environment.
A garment shop owned by the Lu family in the West District.
"I've only given you such a small task, yet you're still so slow. How can I trust you to hand over the garment factory to you in the future!" Lu Qingshan couldn't help but smile when he heard the familiar scolding voice from a distance.
Look through the door.
He saw a gray-haired old man in the alley with his back to him, holding a feather duster in his hand, and scolding a boy who was no more than fourteen or fifteen with spit flying.
The young man lowered his head and looked like he was obediently accepting the scolding, but in fact his eyes kept rolling around and it was obvious that he didn't take the old man's scolding seriously at all.
Suddenly, the boy's eyes caught sight of Lu Qingshan at the door. His pupils suddenly widened, and he pointed his finger outside the door, his voice trembling: "Lu... Lu..."
"Lu what Lu!" Seeing that the young man dared to be distracted when being scolded, the old man blew his beard and glared at him, and raised his tone a few degrees: "Lu Xun, you bastard, dare to be distracted, right?"
"Grandpa, it's Lu Qingshan!" Lu Xun finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"What Lu Qingshan..." The old man subconsciously turned in the direction of Lu Xun's finger and saw Lu Qingshan standing at the door with a smile on his face.
boom--
The old man loosened his grip and the feather duster in his hand fell to the ground.
The old man's name is Lu Zhi, a branch of the Lu family. He has reached the sixth level of Qi Refining. When he got old, he retired from the mountain and took charge of this garment shop.
Lu Xun is his grandson, just a mortal without any cultivation.
Lu Qingshan used to work in this garment factory.
Lu Qingshan's father, Lu Bei, is one of only three Jindan cultivators in the Lu family.
So even though Lu Qingshan had no talent for cultivation and was just an ordinary mortal, he had a high status in this huge garment factory and was a middle-level manager.
…
A side room in the backyard of the garment shop.
"What's going on? What happened four months ago? We all thought you were dead, and Lu Xun was sad for a long time..." Lu Zhi looked at Lu Qingshan's face and couldn't believe it.
Four months ago, Lu Qingshan, along with three of his shop assistants, escorted a large amount of cloth to Zhenjiang City. However, the four of them mysteriously disappeared on the way.
He reported the matter to the family immediately, and the family also sent people from the Deacon Hall to investigate, but found nothing.
After so many days, they all assumed that Lu Qingshan must have met with an accident.
Unexpectedly, Lu Qingshan appeared alive again at this moment.
"Grandpa, you are still blaming me. Who was the one who hid in the room drinking alone every day during that period?" Lu Xun exposed with a look of disdain .
"You bastard, you are the only one who is so capable, right? Grandpa is talking to Qingshan, why do you butt in on him !" Lu Zhi slapped Lu Xun on the back of his head and taught him a lesson.
The familiar people and things in front of him made Lu Qingshan feel an inexplicable emotion echoing in his chest.
That is Lu Qingshan's emotion that belongs to this world.
His father was a womanizer and had many children, among whom he was insignificant and had never seen his father since he was born.
His mother died of illness when he was five years old.
So he didn't have a very deep impression of his parents.
He grew up in this garment shop. Although Lu Zhi has no blood relationship with him, he treats him as his own grandson, and Lu Xun also respects him as his elder brother.
They are the two closest people in Lu Qingshan’s memory in this world.
"Brother Qingshan, that's right, why did you disappear for so long? Where are A-Long and the others? Why did you come back alone?" Lu Xun scratched the back of his head and asked with concern.
A Long and others were the shop assistants who escorted the goods with Lu Qingshan.
Lu Qingshan chuckled and said, "It's a long story... We were attacked by evil cultivators. Those evil cultivators violated the ban of Daxia and captured civilians everywhere to refine corpse puppets."
"Corpse puppet!" Lu Zhi's face changed.
After all, he is a cultivator, and he is aware of the bad reputation of corpse puppets.
"What is a corpse puppet?" Lu Xun on the side was confused.
"Don't interrupt." Lu Zhixun said, and then looked at Lu Qingshan: "Then how did you ..."
The evil cultivator's methods were vicious and cruel. He couldn't imagine how Lu Qingshan escaped from the hands of the evil cultivator.
"That evil cultivator was active near Yuanshan City. Somehow, he was discovered by an organization called Zhishou Tower in Yuanshan City. The cultivators of Zhishou Tower wiped out the evil cultivator and rescued me. But Aaron and the others didn't make it to that time. I was also seriously injured and rested in Yuanshan City for a long time. I only returned to Zhenjiang City with a caravan a few days ago..."
This was also the statement Lu Qingshan was going to use to deal with the cultivators in his family.
Lu Xun was dumbfounded when he heard this.
As a cultivator, Lu Zhi could better understand the danger and was very thankful: "Fortunately, fortunately, if the monk Zhishoulou came a little later, the consequences would be disastrous..."
…
"Brother Qingshan, because grandpa hasn't seen your body, he has always insisted that you are not dead. Your position as manager is still reserved for you!" Lu Xun suddenly thought of this and said proudly.
Lu Qingshan looked at Lu Zhi.
Lu Zhi nodded towards Lu Qingshan and said affirmatively: "Lu Xun is right. I will keep your position as manager for you. You can take a few days' rest first, and then you can continue to take charge of your previous work."
Lu Zhi was planning to let Lu Qingshan and Lu Xun jointly manage this garment factory in the future.
Lu Qingshan shook his head slightly: "Grandpa Lu, I may not be able to continue working in the garment factory."
Lu Zhi was stunned: "What do you mean?"
Lu Qingshan stretched out his right hand and mobilized the spiritual power in his body. Soon a layer of white light appeared on his hand.
As a cultivator, Lu Zhi naturally recognized what it was.
"Spiritual power?! Qingshan, have you become a cultivator?"
Lu Qingshan pursed his lips and said, "Yes, I was lucky enough to cultivate spiritual power."
"Good! Good! Good!" Lu Zhi excitedly said three "good"s in a row: "Those who survive a great disaster will surely have good fortune in the future!"
Lu Xun standing by was also full of excitement: "Brother Qingshan, you have become a monk!"
The status of a monk is vastly different from that of an ordinary person.
After becoming a cultivator, Lu Qingshan can enter the family's blessed land to practice.
If he succeeds in his training and gets a position as a family steward, he will be a man of great influence in Mihe Town.
Even if one cannot become a high-level cultivator, like Lu Zhi, who has no interest in cultivation, will be assigned to manage the family business.
