Chapter 191: Messenger
After Zhang Zhixuan and Qingchan returned to Chaoyin Mountain from Jiangkou County, almost a year had passed, and within this year, the patriarch had already led everyone to migrate the mortals of the Ma family to more than a dozen towns in Lushan County.
In order to prevent the monks from coming out of these mortal descendants and affecting the stability of the family monks, the monks of the Zhang family broke up all these Ma family members and divided them into different villages.
These mortals surnamed Ma, without the protection of the monks, have now become lost dogs, and they dare not violate the decision of the Zhang family monks at all.
After they came to the vicinity of Lushan, they began to intermarry with the Zhang clan on a large scale, and a considerable number of them changed their surnames to Zhang on the spot.
In the more than 30 years since Zhang Zhixuan came down from the mountain, although there were two major wars, more than 20 people in the family were killed and wounded, and the number of monks did not increase much, but the number of mortals increased dramatically.
The Zhang family in Lushan County, plus the Zhou family that has been integrated over the years, has exceeded 70,000 people. Although the population of more than a dozen towns near Lushan County has not increased as fast as Zhang's, it has also exceeded 60,000.
Moreover, the Zhang family has established a county seat in the Ten Thousand Snake Cave, although the development time is still short, but the population of the city also exceeds 10,000 people.
Here in Chaoyin Mountain, a town was also established, and many people migrated to it. Coupled with the 20,000 Ma family members who moved this time, the population controlled by the Zhang family in Lushan has exceeded 160,000.
This population base is already about to catch up with the Wu family of Yanlaifeng, but there is still a long way to go from the Liu family, which has the longest roots in Taicheng County.
Their family has the largest mortal base, and now they have established four large cities in Taibai Mountain, and the population of the Liu family is more than 300,000, plus the vassal population living in Taibai Mountain, the population controlled by the Liu family has exceeded 500,000.
Because of the huge population base, their family is the largest, with the largest number of monks, and has opened up hundreds of acres of spiritual fields, and the annual income from the spiritual fields alone is a large amount.
This family, in fact, is also the most stable, just relying on the spiritual field on the mountain, every other Jiazi, their family can earn more than 10,000 spirit stone profits, and can exchange for a grain of Zhuji Dan from Qingxuanzong.
So over the years, although other families have had ups and downs, each generation of the Liu family has had monks who have successfully built the foundation, and they have been inherited for a long time, although they are not as good as the Zhang and Wu families who have been monks in the Purple Mansion, but they are far more stable than Zhang Wu and other families.
After the patriarch migrated the mortals of the Ma family to Lushan, he immediately came to Chaoyin Mountain without resting, and returned to the mountain gate to replace Qingchan and Zhang Zhixuan.
Here in Chaoyin Mountain, since the family occupies the shares, they must go out to guard the spirit stone veins. The three foundation-building monks of the Zhang family must take out one resident in Chaoyin Mountain, and even the monks in the Qi cultivation period must send thirty people.
Chaoyin Mountain has a fourth-order spiritual vein, and the strength of the spiritual energy on the mountain exceeds that of the family's best spiritual vein, Lingjing Mountain, and it can arrange some monks to come to Chaoyin Mountain to practice, which actually reduces the burden of the family's spiritual vein, allowing the Zhang family to cultivate more people to practice.
In the last battle of Chaoyin Mountain, Zhang Zhixuan had no news back, which made the patriarch worry all the time, so he repeatedly asked to replace Zhang Zhixuan to guard Chaoyin Mountain, so that Zhang Zhixuan could return to Tiantai Peak, which was safer.
After defeating the Hongshan Sect, it is impossible for a big war to break out here in Chaoyin Mountain for the time being, unless the Hongshan Sect wants to jump into war again.
However, the combat strength of the high-level monks of the sect is not as good as that of people, and the fourth-order Breaking Formation Beads are also consumed, and it is very difficult to attack the Yuntai Mountain where the three Purple Mansions are stationed, even if Yang Laozu of the Hongshan Sect is dispatched.
Moreover, Hongshan Sect can't be sure whether the Jinlan Dao people are hiding in Yuntai Mountain, once Qingxuanzong transfers more manpower, and the Purple Mansion monks of Hongshan Sect die two or three more, then it is really not far from annihilation.
Unless the Southern Wilderness Demon Beasts invade and the Qingxuan Sect is unable to mobilize manpower, it is possible for the monks of the Hongshan Sect to attack on a large scale and take the opportunity to recapture Yuntai Mountain and Jiangkou County.
It is expected that Chaoyin Mountain will be safe here for at least a few decades, and Zhang Zhixuan also agreed to the patriarch's request and asked him to come to Chaoyin Mountain to replace him.
When the patriarch came, Zhang Zhixuan took the patriarch to find Sun Changgeng, a monk of the Purple Mansion of Chaoyin Mountain, and completed the handover, before returning to the family mountain gate with Qingchan Shuangshuang.
The two third-order spiritual veins of the family must not be guarded by no one, otherwise there will be bold scattered cultivators to rob them, and it will easily cause serious losses.
Zhang Zhixuan asked Qingchan to stay in Lingjing Mountain, where he had lived for many years, and returned to Tiantai Peak by himself. After he came to Tiantai Peak, he did not occupy the patriarch's cave mansion, but lived in Mochigetsu Pavilion.
Zhang Zhixuan cultivated in the Moon Pavilion when he was a teenager, and his cave on Tiantai Peak was near the Moon Pavilion.
However, back then, more than 20 of them shared the spiritual acupoint of Mochizuki Pavilion, but now this spiritual acupoint is used by him alone.
Even if Zhang Zhixuan's cultivation has already built the fifth layer of the foundation, the spiritual energy generated by the spiritual acupoint of the Moon Pavilion is barely enough for him to use, and Zhang Zhixuan can also supplement the insufficient part with spirit stones.
With the family monks scattered to Lingjing Mountain, Ten Thousand Snake Cave, and part of Chaoyin Mountain, there were not many people left in the ancestral land of Tiantai Peak. In addition to the fact that there are more than a dozen elderly monks stationed in the Scripture Pavilion, the mountain has become deserted.
Now the place with the most family monks is Lingjing Mountain, where high-grade spirit stones are used to cultivate spiritual veins, and there is a spiritual tree to gather spiritual energy, and the spiritual energy on the mountain is more abundant than Tiantai Peak.
On Lingjing Mountain, not only are there more than 30 underage monks living there, but there are also more than a dozen people living in the spiritual fields under the mountain. Counting Qingchan, which opened up the cave mansion in Lingjing Mountain, there are already forty-seven monks here.
Since the nineteenth uncle Zhang Mengling went to Montenegro to take charge of the Hundred Treasure Pavilion, the person in charge of the family affairs on Tiantai Peak has become the eleventh uncle Zhang Menghong.
One day Zhang Zhixuan was meditating, only to see the eleventh uncle come to the Moon Pavilion with a solemn expression, and when Zhang Zhixuan slowly finished his work, the eleventh uncle spoke: "Zhixuan, just sent a letter from Xihefang, saying that Hu Boyu of the Hu family wants to see you. ”
Hu Peiyu's supernatural powers, Zhang Zhixuan has seen it with his own eyes in Chaoyin Mountain, and she almost effortlessly took down Dong Hongyu, who cultivated to a higher level than herself, and it took less time than Lu Hongniang.
For the Hu family of Jiuhua Mountain, Zhang Zhixuan was already very taboo in his heart, even if he and Qingchan successfully opened up the Purple Mansion in the future, he did not want to provoke them easily.
The Zhang and Hu families have a blood feud, Hu Boyu has built nine layers of foundation, and he is Hu Peiyu's father, who knows if there are any powerful hole cards on his body.
Once Hu Boyu had bad intentions towards him, just like Zhang Leqian used a Tiangang Divine Thunder Talisman like he beat Lu Yi'an, Zhang Zhixuan did not have this ability to survive.
Zhang Zhixuan knew his own family affairs, but he personally killed Hu Boren, the foundation building monk of the Hu family.
The most direct hatred of the monks of the Zhang and Hu families is that Hu Boren killed the ninth uncle Zhang Mengquan, and Zhang Zhixuan and the patriarch in turn killed Hu Boren in the Southern Wilderness.
As for the lost manpower of Jiuhua Mountain and Xihefang, the Hu family did not come forward in person, they were all hidden in the dark, and it was Wei Mazi who fled from Wu who were scattered cultivators, and all of them died in the hands of Hu Peiyu.
"Did you say where to meet?" Zhang Zhixuan took the letter, and before he had time to read it, he asked.
