Chapter 541 (1/2)
In fact, Shen Huanyan's spiritual roots in his youth are good. Coupled with his free and easy mind, even if he doesn't need to build a foundation, he has a quarter chance of success.
However, things are changeable. In his later period of Qi practice, he hurt his meridians and Dantian when fighting with friars of the Chen family, so he lost the possibility of further development.
After knowing this fact, Shen Huanyan looked more open and didn't fall down.
Because he was a good calligrapher and painter, teaching and educating people, he naturally became the dean of the family school.
Over the years, every ethnic group who came out of the family school has received his teaching more or less.
Therefore, his prestige in the hearts of the clan is not nearly the same as that of the clan leader. Everyone needs to salute respectfully.
In his life, Shen Huanyan married a family nun when he was young and gave birth to a pair of children. Unfortunately, they are all people without spiritual roots.
In his later years, a child with spiritual roots finally appeared among the grandchildren, although he was only a four spiritual roots qualification.
Shen Ruiling knows the four elders' temper. He is very clear about public and private affairs, and he disdains to do those favoritism and fraud.
So even before he died, he didn't speak to himself to take care of his four spiritual roots.
But even if Shen Huanyan doesn't say it, Shen Ruiling will take special care of the child because he needs a favor.
Of course, when he was young, Shen huanqun could not take care of him because he stayed in Hushang square all the year round, so he asked Shen Huanyan in the school to take care of him.
In those years in the school, he received Shen Huanyan's careful care and serious teaching, which made him understand a lot.
Shen Ruiling can't forget this kindness all his life.
……
Shen Huanyan's death means that there is one less old man of the Huan generation who guarded the family with the patriarch Shen huanchi.
Following his previous wishes, the funeral was very simple. Except for several family elders such as Shen Ruiling and Shen Jingan, he did not disturb other people.
Shen Huanyan's body was cremated and buried in the family's back Mountain Cemetery, and there was a black wood scarlet tablet in the family ancestral hall.
As usual, Shen Ruiling let people ring the ancient bronze bell hanging on the top of Yunbi peak.
Some people who learned the news of the death of the fourth elder also spontaneously came to the ancestral hall to deeply express their inner respect.
After the simple funeral of the four elders Shen Huanyan, Shen Ruiling came to a small courtyard near the Dan Pavilion.
No one else lives here. It's his grandfather Shen huanqun.
Shen Ruiling respectfully said hello to Shen huanqun, and then told him the news of the sitting of the four elders.
However, Shen huanqun seemed to have known the news for a long time. He just listened quietly and didn't say anything.
Looking at the weather beaten cheeks on the old man's face and the gullies left by years, Shen Ruiling's heart became very heavy again.
Although Shen huanqun was the second elder, he was actually the youngest of the four elders. He became the second elder of the family by virtue of his second-class alchemy and great and complete cultivation of Qi.
Shen Ruiling knows that his grandfather, as a second-class alchemist, has his own opinions on health preservation.
Moreover, after experiencing the change of ”resurrection from the dead”, with the help of the effect of Millennium Xuanling liquid, he not only cured the soul injury, but also cured some old injuries in his body.
However, even so, the longevity of the friar during the Qi training period is about 120, and he is now more than 110 years old.
Shen Ruiling has been practicing Taoism for more than 70 years. After several life and death departures, the fragile emotion in his heart has been numb.
