Chapter 210: Go to Montenegro again
Chapter 210: Go to Montenegro again
Since the Ma family of Jiufeng Mountain was wiped out by the monks of the Hongshan Sect, only the four major families were left in Taicheng County, and the Zhu family in Liucheng only had Zhu Hun as a monk in the foundation building period, and because he needed to stay in Chaoyin Mountain to guard the spirit stone mine, he did not have the energy and time to trade in Montenegro.
So now the quota for trading in Montenegro has become a three-year rotation.
This year, it was the turn of the Zhang family to escort the caravan from Taicheng County into the Black Mountain trade.
The patriarch is guarding in Chaoyin Mountain, and Qingchan is a female streamer, and her personality is relatively cold, and she doesn't like to deal with outsiders, so this time the task of escorting the caravan is Zhang Zhixuan's turn.
Liang Laozu is now short of life, his disciples have been unable to open up the Purple Mansion for a long time, and the monks on the Black Mountain are also very anxious now. Although he relied on Liang Laozu to kill the fourth-order East Pole Locusts this time, the losses on the Black Mountain were still immeasurable.
In particular, the elixir garden, which had been cultivated for hundreds of years, was destroyed, and all the spiritual grass in the garden was devoured by the Eastern Pole Locust, and it was destroyed after years of hard work. This blow was also great for Liang Laozu. Hearing this bad news, Liang Laozu also seemed to be a little older, and he couldn't support it anymore.
Not only that, but the spiritual rice on the Black Mountain was also eaten by the Eastern Pole Locusts, and more than 200 monks were killed and injured during the Qi training period, and almost half of the relatives of the mortals on the mountain were killed or injured, and even the monks in the foundation building period also had three people killed.
Although the locust plague was repelled, this time the Black Mountain monks also suffered their vitality.
Especially some monks in the Qi cultivation period, because their parents, wives and children died in Montenegro, they are already a little disheartened, plus every hundred years the demon beast rebellion is coming, the land of Montenegro is definitely going to break out of war, and many Montenegrin cultivators are ready to leave Montenegro and return to their hometown to spend their old age in peace.
The spiritual field on the Black Mountain was originally able to provide half of the needs, but now it is all lost, and this gap needs to be filled by the monks of Taicheng County.
Fortunately, the three families of Zhang, Wu and Liu kept the East Pole Locust out of Taicheng County and kept the Lingtian of Shanmen, and this year's Lingmi production has not been reduced.
Among the three families, the Liu family has the most spiritual fields, and there is more grain in the family, although there are two less families, but the Zhang family has also opened up thirty acres of spiritual fields in the past forty years, plus the twenty acres of spiritual fields in Jiuhua Mountain, the three families have raised a little for a few days, and they have enough to supply this time.
Zhang Zhixuan came to Yanlai Peak with the Cloud Treading Beast Horse Team, gathered the people of the three families, and began to enter the Southern Wilderness slowly.
In the past thirty years, since Zhang Zhixuan built the foundation, the population of the family Cloud Beast has also expanded a little, especially after Zhang Zhixuan brought back two fire dragon foals from the Southern Wilderness, and improved the provenance of this demon beast.
Now the Zhang family's horse team already has sixteen cloud-stepping beasts, two fire dragon horses, and three hybrid horses of cloud-stepping beasts and fire dragon horses.
This hybrid horse beast, because it has been domesticated by monks from the beginning, has a very gentle temperament, far less irritable and rough than the fire dragon horse. And the power is infinite, far surpassing the Cloud Beast. If the transport of goods is used as a pack beast, it is better than the Cloud Beast and the Fire Dragon Pony.
This kind of horse breed, although the grade is not as good as the fire dragon horse, but it has also reached the second order of the lower grade, because of the red eyes, it was named the red-eyed beast by the fourth brother Zhang Zhi'an.
The pack team composed of these twenty-one demon beasts almost contracted the transportation task to the Southern Wilderness every year, and they could earn hundreds of spirit stones every time.
This time, the elder who followed Zhang Zhixuan to Montenegro was the fourth brother Zhang Zhi'an, and since he was in charge of managing the pack team, he had to go to Montenegro almost every year.
For the last decade or so, he has spent most of his time on the road to and from the country, with only two months of free time each year.
He is now over 60 years old, and has no hope of building a foundation, and his only wish is to save a lot of resources for future generations.
And in terms of personality, he likes to raise horses since he was a child, and when he was young, he was responsible for feeding the family's cloud-stepping beasts. Now he can't do without the horses for almost a day, and he likes this kind of day with the horses every day.
And once a year to go to the Southern Wilderness, because the road is far away, it is very fortunate along the road, and the family's rewards are also quite expensive. The fourth brother, as a ninth-level elder of qi training, can get a reward of thirty good deeds if he goes to the Southern Wilderness once, and counting his annual income of sixty spirit stones, his income has already exceeded that of most of the ninth-level Qi cultivation cultivators of the Qingxuan Sect, not to mention the scattered cultivation of Montenegro, who has a hard life.
Since the family's finances improved, the life of the family elders has been much better, and it is far from being as embarrassed as it was back then.
The elders of their generation have contributed far less to the family than the old people such as the fourth uncle, the ninth uncle, and the nineteenth uncle, but the rewards they received from the family are far greater than those of the fourth uncle.
The monks of the previous generation, such as the fourth and ninth uncles, have been elders for more than 20 years, and they have never received a single salary, and they even have to use their own alchemy and alchemy skills to raise resources for the family and support the next generation of monks.
Whenever he thinks of this, Zhang Zhixuan feels a little sad.
The fifteenth uncle died in the Southern Wilderness, although he had some children, but the descendants had no spiritual roots, Zhang Zhixuan could only take care of him secretly, so that his descendants would be a petty official in Lushan County, and would not be despised and bullied.
The eighteenth aunt has never been married in her life, and she died in Lushan in order to impact the realm of foundation building, Zhang Zhixuan just wants to take care of her descendants, and she has no way to start.
Although Zhang Siheng, the grandson of Jiubo, has a spiritual root as he wishes, he is a five-spirit root monk and has no future at all. Zhang Zhixuan could only arrange him to serve as a county lieutenant in Lushan County and entrust him to his sixteenth uncle Zhang Menggong to take care of him.
Eleven Bo is over 100 years old, and he just resigned as an elder last year and has been retiring in Tiantai Peak. His prestige in the family is enough to take care of his wife, son and daughter, and he doesn't have to worry about Zhang Zhixuan.
Uncle Nineteen gave birth to several children, but his good luck was almost all used up, although he was a second spirit root monk, but the children he gave birth to were all mortals. By now, he has put all his efforts on his nephew Zhang Sihong.
For this junior, Zhang Zhixuan is a little biased in his heart.
Zhang Sihong is a monk of the second spiritual root, because of the serious conflict between water and fire spiritual roots, he was suffering from fire poison when he was young and could not cultivate, thanks to Zhang Zhixuan's frequent care and help suppress fire poison.
After he was twelve years old, Zhang Zhixuan also went to Qingxuanzong to find Chen Hongyuan, and specially refined the Xuanyin talisman for him to suppress the fire poison in his body.
Up to now, it has been more than ten years since he obtained the Xuanyin Talisman, this child who has gone through hardships since he was a child has cultivated hard, and in ten years, he has made rapid progress in cultivation, and at the age of twenty-two, he has already cultivated the sixth layer of qi, and it seems that before the age of forty, he can break through to the ninth layer of qi training.
Among the younger descendants of the family, the monks of the Sizi generation are estimated to be headed by this person.
