Chapter 364: Chapter 222 Funeral_3
However, Elder Wu, Lin Shihe, didn’t seclude himself for a few days when his ti ran out; he personally witnessed Lin Shigang passing away. After Lin Shigang’s funeral was over, Lin Shihe followed suit in just a matter of days and passed away directly through ditation.
As the head of the Scripture Pavilion, Lin Shihe guarded the pavilion for decades and made significant contributions to the family. With his age only second to Lin Shikang, he was both virtuous and highly esteed.
Having attended Lin Shigang’s funeral, it was natural not to neglect this revered ancestor.
Lin Tianming had no choice but to end his seclusion and participate in Lin Shihe’s funeral.
All the procedures were as before, and after a few days of busy preparations, things gradually returned to calm.
With the passing of both Lin Shigang and Lin Shihe, only four Foundation Establishnt stage Clan mbers of the Shi generation remained, so there wouldn’t be any more elder deaths in the short term.
...
However, the Xing generation Clan mbers were aging, with the eldest among them nearing a hundred years old, but fortunately, they still had so years left.
Moreover, not every Clan mber’s funeral would be so solemn—only those who had made great contributions to the family would receive such treatnt.
The funerals of the ordinary Clan mbers were mainly attended by close relatives and intimately associated Clan mbers. Otherwise, if the hundreds of Lin Family mbers had to participate in every single funeral, they would hardly have the peace of mind to cultivate.
With the passing of the two Shi generation elders, the Tian generation stepped into middle age, which signified a new starting point for the family.
Currently, the Tian generation had the most mbers, totaling over seven hundred, with Lin Tianfeng, the oldest, now in his forties. In a few years, the family would welco a new Chang generation.
At the mont, there were six Foundation Establishnt Clan mbers among the Tian generation, eight among the Xing generation, and four from the Shi generation. The Tian generation was rapidly catching up to the Xing in numbers and would easily surpass them in a few years.
What’s more, among the Tian generation were many who were at the Late Stage of Qi Refinent and so with excellent Spiritual Root Talent.
They were still young, and given enough resources, their potential to breakthrough to the Foundation Establishnt stage wasn’t low; successful or not, they would beco the backbone of the family.
Indeed, the Tian generation brimd with talent, forming the foundation and hope for the family’s continued strength.
…
Ti slowly passed, and a year and a half went by in tranquility.
The sadness from the loss of the two Shi generation elders gradually faded into oblivion, and the family enjoyed peace. Each Clan mber resud their normal lives and cultivation practices.
On this day, it was Lin Xingpu’s turn to lead the patrol team.
Early in the morning, at the break of dawn, the entire Green Bamboo Mountain Clan Territory was shrouded in thick fog while hints of morning twilight began peeking through the clouds, casting a soft glow on the peak of the main mountain.
In a courtyard at the mountainside, Lin Xingpu arrived at the Enforcent Hall with several Clan mbers to et the ones they were replacing, ready to begin their patrol duty for the next six months.
Looking at the few Clan mbers of the enforcent squad, who had already served two terms, each term lasting six months, it was acknowledged that patrolling delayed their cultivation progress. However, the family provided generous subsidies, allowing them to purchase elixirs for cultivation. Calculating it out, the difference from secluding themselves in ditation wasn’t that big.
After surveying everyone, Lin Xingpu waved his hand and led the Clan mbers toward the mountain gate.
They left the gate and started patrolling the very familiar Green Bamboo Mountain.
