Chapter 144 Qinggang Stone
Zhang Zhixuan received the letter from the patriarch and immediately rushed back to Lushan, and he went straight to the Moon Pavilion of Tiantai Peak to find Zhou Wennian, the head of the Zhou family.
A spiritual cave in the Moon Pavilion has been given to the Zhou family for ten years, and now more than ten small courtyards have been built around the Moon Pavilion, and the courtyards are inhabited by the Zhou family monks.
The young man who cultivated in the Moon Pavilion back then had already moved to Lingjing Mountain, where the aura was more abundant.
Zhang Zhixuan found Zhou Wennian, and asked directly without politeness: "Zhou Daoyou, I heard that you are going back to Hongliu Mountain, are you not doing well in Tiantai Peak, or someone is giving you a look, you tell me, I will go to him for trouble." ”
"Senior Zhang said with a smile, we have had a good time in Lushan in the past ten years, and the reason why we want to go back is mainly because the matter of Qingjiao has been resolved, Hongliu Mountain is desolate, and it is also the legacy left by our ancestors, and we can't always give it up. And the second uncle's last wish is also to go back, he died in Tiantai Peak, his last wish only wants to be buried with his clansmen, and he doesn't want to be buried alone in Lushan.
The old people in the family have the idea of returning to their homeland, although Lushan is good, but it is the spiritual mountain of the Zhang family, our Zhou family is an outsider after all, and it is inevitable that there will be contradictions in the future if we live for a long time, so it is better to return to our own spiritual veins as soon as possible and develop slowly. Although Zhou Wennian said it tactfully, his attitude was very resolute.
"Zhou Daoyou is not busy making decisions first, let's think about it!"
"Senior Zhang, we have been thinking about it for a long time, if we don't leave now, and after a few decades of adapting to the environment of Lushan, no one will want to leave. At that time, there will be no Zhou family, only the Zhang family will remain. After all, we are the descendants of our ancestors, and we cannot let our ancestors' surnames be lost.
You want to integrate us into the Zhang family, this idea is very good, and we are grateful for your care, but we still can't get over this level in our hearts after all. ”
Seeing that Zhou Wennian made his words very clear, Zhang Zhixuan also put forward his own conditions.
"Since Zhou Daoyou is leaving, we will not stop it. However, I have a few conditions here, and I ask Zhou Daoyou to agree. First of all, all the monks and mortals who marry you and me, and those who are willing to stay, you cannot stop them. ”
"Senior Zhang, rest assured, as long as someone is willing to stay, we will not force us to stay."
"Okay, that's good, the second request, because the monks who stayed behind have cultivated your family's earth-shaking secret, you have to burn this Dao decision and stay in our Zhang family, after all, these people stayed, and I can't ignore their path."
Listening to Zhang Zhixuan's second request, Zhou Wennian was suddenly a little embarrassed.
The ancestors of the Zhou family had a monk in the Jindan period, although now their family is in great decay, and most of the family cultivation exercises have been lost, even the exercises in the foundation building period are also a little incomplete.
However, the Zhou family's earth-shaking trick is the earth spirit root exercise, which is exactly a kind of cultivation method that the Zhang family lacks, taking advantage of this rare opportunity, Zhang Zhixuan must get it.
Seeing that Zhou Wennian didn't speak, Zhang Zhixuan continued to persuade: "Zhou Daoyou, your family's exercises have lost a lot, looking at your current situation, if you can't cultivate a cultivator with a spirit root, it is estimated that it will be difficult to reverse the situation.
It's better to keep a copy of the exercises in the Zhang family in exchange for our protection. We can marry from generation to generation, so that the relationship between the two families can be a little closer.
Zhou Daoyou, think about it, where can you go without the protection of the Zhang family?
You also know the cruelty of the immortal cultivation world, even our Zhang family has been the weakest in these years, and they have also helped you Hongliushan. A family like ours is rare in Taicheng County. If you agree to my request, I will give you a fixed source of money. ”
"I don't know what kind of money it is?" The Zhou family has been sitting on empty food all these years, relying on the help of the Zhang family, and the family is about to run out.
"Remember the snake demon cave in Black Python Mountain? Although those Jiao Bloodstones were taken away by Liang Lao Ancestor to refine the Jiao Dragon Boat, in the depths of the cave, there was a vein of Qinggang Stone.
As long as you agree to my conditions, this vein of our two will be dug together, your family will help, our family provides protection, packs, and goes to Xihefang every year to sell, this is a steady stream of money, as long as the black python mountain is not hollowed out, every year can use the green granite for more than a hundred spirit stone resources. ”
The bait released by Zhang Zhixuan was quite good, and Zhou Wennian immediately began to hesitate, even if they returned to Hongliu Mountain, once they offended the Zhang family, it would be difficult to survive.
Their only reliance is that the Zhang family has been in Lushan for many years, and they have always been very respectful, and they are a family that counts their words.
If the Zhou family is dealt with harshly this time and the reputation is ruined, once it spreads, the Zhang family will be ostracized and isolated by the local monks in Taicheng County. Even if you get the benefits, there are endless troubles.
Because of this premise, he dared to refuse Zhang Zhixuan.
Seeing that Zhang Zhixuan put forward good conditions, Zhou Wenjian did not refuse, and agreed after thinking about it for a while.
In this way, the two set the overall situation, and the Zhou family monks who married the Zhang family, three of them finally agreed to stay, plus the five Zhou family nuns who joined the Zhang family.
After living in Tiantai Peak for ten years, the Zhou family even reduced the number of monks, especially the monks in the prime of life, which was almost halved.
Even the mortals who live near Lushan County, there are more than 5,000 people who have adapted to life in Lushan County and are unwilling to move again.
Fortunately, in the past ten years, because of the protection of the Zhang family, the population of the Zhou family has almost increased by more than 3,000, and the number of monks with spiritual roots has also increased by four, which has only replenished half of their family's blood loss.
It's no wonder that Zhou Wennian is leaving, also on Tiantai Peak, the benefits of the Zhang family and the Zhou family are almost different.
If they live in Lushan for another thirty years, when their generation grows old, the Zhou family will be completely merged into the Zhang family.
These are equivalent to the Zhou family members who have joined the Zhang family, and Zhang Zhixuan did not let them change their sex, and even generously let their descendants also have the surname Zhou.
Their treatment and benefits are almost no different from those of the Zhang family monks.
Zhang Zhixuan has prepared to be more open in the management of the family and to accommodate the fresh blood of outsiders.
Soon, with the help of the Zhang family, Zhou Wennian took the Zhou family and came to Hongliu Mountain after more than ten days of migration.
Although they have been away for ten years, most of their houses in Hongliu Town have not collapsed, and after a period of repair, they have resettled.
Zhang Zhixuan also sent his seventeenth uncle, Zhang Mengyao, with a few Zhang family monks, to prepare to stay in Black Python Mountain.
Without the Bloodstone, there is nothing to attract demon beasts on the Black Python Mountain, so there will be no more danger.
Despite this, because there are granite veins on the mountain, after Zhang Mengyi and others came to Black Python Mountain, they also arranged a second-grade thick soil formation and began to step on Black Python Mountain, preparing to mine this vein as soon as possible.
Soon, the Zhou family sent a large number of mortals into the Black Python Mountain, and with the help of the monks, they began to mine the veins and mine a large amount of granite.
The Zhang family also used the Cloud Treading Beast Team to continuously send these ores to the shops in Xihefang City, and exchanged them for various cultivation resources.
In order to avoid the suspicion of the Zhou family, every time he went to Fang City, Zhang Zhixuan stipulated that the two monks should act together, so as not to cause trouble and affect the relationship between the two monks.
In this way, the green granite of Black Python Mountain has become a specialty of the Zhang family, this inconspicuous stone can sell more than 100 spirit stones every year, and the monks of the Zhang family in addition to investing a little transportation capacity and providing a few monks for protection, almost just sit on the ground to collect money.
