A hundred years of operation is not as good as a successful plunder. It is better to bear the infamy of a lifetime, but also to leave an advantage for future generations that can be used to compete for survival.

It's a hard phrase to hear, but it's realistic.

Zhang Xiangshen is already an outstanding figure, but before he gets lucky, he can only work left and right in Huanglong County, trying to maintain the operation of the Zhang family, and under the intentional or unintentional suppression of the Wei family, he is in the company of the Wang family, the Liu family, the Zhu family and other families, and exhausts his thoughts and means for a little profit.

And the battle of the sect, after the Danyang Palace defeated the Northern Seventeen Sects, the entire Zhang family took advantage of the situation to attack and plunder, Zhang Xiangshen was far-sighted, so that the Zhang family and the allies of the Zhang family occupied several important nodes, forming a trade route, so that the goods were like a rotation so that they benefited immensely.

These families raided along the way, seized their Taoist inheritance, greatly enriched the Zhang family's book collection, and from then on, the younger generations of the Zhang family monks no longer had to be like in the past, they could only choose from a limited number of exercises, and they could choose the exercises that were relatively most suitable for themselves, physique and heart.

At the age of forty-six, Zhang Lie suffered a drastic change in the sect, left the Northern Cold Continent, and returned to the Southern Yanzhou, nearly eighty years have passed in a blink of an eye.

In the recent years after the end of the sect war, he accompanied Zhang Chuanling to garrison Zhangjiabao in Phantom Cloud Peak, and spent most of his time meditating and cultivating, only when there was a serious conflict with the Blood Yang Sect, he would break through the barrier, and the rest of the time Zhang Chuanling managed this place.

As the border periphery of Danyang Palace, there are commercial exchanges with several nearby sects, and the monks stationed in Phantom Cloud Peak can make a lot of money just by collecting taxes normally, not to mention the trade routes of the Zhang family.

On that day, a ghost died near Phantom Cloud Peak.

This is a valley that is hardly less than the Phantom Cloud Peak, and on one side is the edge of a cliff, and the cliff is all covered with moss, thick clouds and mist, and ordinary people can't approach it at all.

But at this moment, there is a young Taoist standing on this mountain wall, watching the clouds and mist around him, and the strong wind blows his clothes and hunts, and it seems that he will fly away at any time.

"The old ghost of the Blood Yang Sect Yan always wants to take the Phantom Cloud Peak, part of the reason is that here, thousands of years ago, there were two demon cultivators, who fought here, summoned countless Yin soldiers and demons, and finally fought and died here."

"If it were in a normal environment, the residual power of a thousand years ago would not have affected the present day. However, the place where the two demon monks chose to fight was precisely this deep mountain valley, and after the two of them died together, the magic treasure and fierce vitality carried by their bodies were all dispersed, but they were trapped here and could not be diluted and purified, and finally formed this place where the ghost died. ”

"Absorbing yin qi and refining ghosts and spirits here is not only not bad karma, but it is a great merit! Of course, people in the demon path will flock to it. ”

In this relatively sealed stone valley, thousands of years of accumulated yin gas evaporate, corrosion and melting for many years, although the surrounding mountain walls are qualitatively transformed, but also gradually decayed, if according to this momentum, after hundreds of thousands of years, when this mountain collapses, the outside vitality comes in, and this incredibly rich yin qi collides, yin and yang burst, I am afraid that the sky will collapse and the earth will crack is also idle. Even if it is not good, it will gradually raise a group of powerful evil things, which is the party to the disaster.

Standing on the slippery mossy mountain wall, the wind was raging on the top of the mountain, but this young Taoist was calm and relaxed, he pointed like a sword, pointing and pointing, every time he pointed, there was a black light flickering, and a long banner appeared from time to time in the clouds and mist in front of him, like a sea of rivers, frantically devouring the aura and enhancing the qi of the magic weapon itself.

Originally, this land of ghost death, after being discovered by the Xiao family monks, there was no sign of yin qi being exhausted by the successive generations of absorbing and devouring.

However, the Taiyin Jade Book Dao Law is already mysterious and wonderful, and the mana is profound, and Zhang Lie himself is using the Mixed Yuan Five Elements Dao Method to devour and fuse the Taiyin Jade Book, causing the total amount of mana required for each realm to skyrocket, after several years of practice and absorption, this ghost death land has gradually been evacuated by Zhang Lie, but in this way, it can be regarded as the bottom of the kettle to destroy the feng shui layout of this place.

After absorbing a large amount of yin qi from the etheric yin white bone banner, Zhang Lie returned to the stone cave opened up by himself with the Shifu Talisman, opened the ban with a spell and walked into it, and began to combine the natal magic weapon with himself to absorb the mana in it.

On the stone platform, Zhang Lie meditated cross-legged, and as he played the magic trick to shrink the Taiyin White Bone Banner and swallow it into his mouth, a black brilliance gradually appeared on his body, and after a while, a red brilliance gradually surged.

The former is the Taiyin Yin Qi, and the latter is the medicinal power of the Blood Pill, Zhang Lie constantly changes the tips in his hands and recites the mantra in his heart, so that the Taiyin Yin Qi and the Blood Pill medicinal power confront each other, fuse, and purify, and finally gradually return to his own mana.

A few years ago, with the help of Master Xiaoshan's Lingyun Immortal Dew, Zhang Lie Daoji was greatly completed, and most of the hidden dangers formed by his radical skills were healed.

Based on this, Zhang Lie revised his cultivation method and began to speed up the refinement of mana again, he was not a frivolous person who wanted to ascend to the sky in one step, but for his own demon tribulation, Zhang Lie had already faintly judged in his heart - with his current cultivation, whether he wanted to completely solve this matter or wanted to resist the third demon tribulation, it was almost impossible.

So even if the mana is radical and brings some hidden dangers, it is better than waiting to be killed, for this reason, Zhang Lie even secretly cultivated the blood burning marrow burning technique in the Demon Sutra of Creation, at the cost of consuming his lifespan, to improve the speed of his divine sense mana refinement.

With the passage of time, Zhang Lie's repeated purification and refining, his body gradually floated faintly on the stone platform, and then began to rotate, and his body even gradually formed countless phantom spreads and floated, in this refining process, the Taiyin Yin power and the blood pill medicinal power gradually fused, forming a crimson color, and finally completely subsumed into Zhang Lie's mana system.

Cultivation like this is no longer a day or two, but it has been like this for several years after the sect war, and today, the savings have finally been completed, with Zhang Lie's body as the center, and suddenly impact outward A crimson blood pillar spreads.

And in the midst of it, Zhang Lie himself looked calm.

He had also vaguely expected that his breakthrough would be in the near future, so he was calm and calm, and introduced the mana that had been greatly improved again into the operation of the seventh layer of the Purple Mansion.

"Whew."

"In the later stage of the Purple Mansion, I finally practiced it. Next, it's time to deal with the bad karma I did back then. ”

The figure slowly descended and landed on the stone platform, Zhang Lie opened his eyes and looked at his palm, and said in a low voice.

……

After several years of training, Zhang Chuanling has become more and more able to adapt to the identity of the Zhangjiabao Fort Lord of Phantom Cloud Peak.

As a high-level monk, the most important thing is to recognize people, employ people, make decisions about the general trend, and reward and punishment, and Zhangjiabao of Phantom Cloud Peak is the most important part of the layout of the trade route.

The patriarch Zhang Xiangshen made a lot of investment here, not only Zhang Chuanling and Zhang Lie, but he also found a very powerful prohibition and controlled Xiao Jiuzhen, the purple monk of the original Xiao Jiabao, and at the same time imprisoned Xiao Jiunan in the Zhang family in Chiyang Valley, Huangshan, forcing Xiao Jiuzhen to lead the entire Xiao family to do things for the Zhang family, and at the same time spent a lot of money to hire Huang Yue, a loose cultivator, as the deputy castle master.

In this way, Zhang Chuanling, Zhang Lie, Xiao Jiuzhen, Huang Yue, and Zhangjiabao of Phantom Cloud Peak will have a total of four Purple Mansion monks available, and if the mountain is closed, this can almost support the Dao inheritance of a large sect.

In addition, in the process, a more interesting thing happened.

Zhang Lie was deploying manpower to the oven mountain to assist Zhang Chuanshu, and was known by the patriarch Zhang Xiangshen, who repeatedly asked what was going on.

directly did two things, one of which was to go to the oven mountain in person, find the head of the Wu family of the small family, and propose to him on behalf of Zhang Chuanshu, to marry Miss Wu Xiao.

The second is that after the young couple got married, Zhang Chuanshu was directly transferred to a trade route node between Chiyang Valley and Zhangjiabao in Huanglong County.

This is the rise and fall of the sky, but Zhang Chuanshu's income is indeed higher, and it is far more prosperous than the oven mountain located in the border wilderness, Wu Xiao himself is very happy, and Zhang Chuanshu is happy when he sees his little wife.

But after the patriarch Zhang Xiangshen returned, he said to Zhang Lie with some sadness:

"I originally wanted to hone my handwriting and entrust him with important tasks in the future, but I didn't expect that he couldn't even fight the people of the border wilderness! and the girl he likes, who has a face like a peach and a red apricot on the wall, and her father, Wu Yun, has a face that mainly looks at the wolf and looks at the anti-guest. ”

"Fortunately, Yuan Lie, you reminded me in time, otherwise let Chuanshu stay there for a few more years, and we would probably hear about his death. Now separate their father and daughter, and use the prosperity of Taihe City to confuse Wu Xiao, and the book should be able to live happily for decades, and after a few decades, Wu Xiao is old and decrepit, and her face is broken. ”

The face is like a peach, plum and red apricot out of the wall, it does not mean that this woman is destined to be something, but it may be relatively high, but this can be broken.

"What about the foundation of the Furnace Mountain? And what about that Wu Yun? Zhang Lie asked.

"I took the foundation of Oven Mountain as a dowry, and most of it was handed over to Wu Yun, this person is ambitious and talented, doesn't he want to be anti-customer-oriented? I directly gave him the throne, I have seen the face of his son, the people who are moderate and conservative are not counted, and after a hundred years, we will take over the foundation of the furnace mountain, if Wu Yun does well enough, how can he reward his descendants for several generations of wealth? ”

Although the face of the eagle and the wolf is fierce, the owners are often talented people, like Zhang Xiangshen, who is good at physiognomy and hexagrams, and does not collide with people with this kind of face.

Because even if you can win, it will also damage your own luck, the luck of the Zhang family has finally ascended to heaven like a dragon, Zhang Xiangshen has always been cautious in this regard, and he is not willing to easily lose it for unnecessary things.

After Zhang Xiangshen dealt with this matter, the reason why he was extremely sad was because he found that if Zhang Lie hadn't found out in time, Zhang Chuanshu, a nephew who was extremely close to him, would probably have died because of his decision.

At the same time, it is also sad for Zhang Chuanshu's road to be ruined, originally Zhang Chuanshu ran the oven Shanfang City from scratch, and the test of physical and mental tempering is extremely huge, and when he is completed, the body and mind are complete, supplemented by enough family resources to support, there is no opportunity to impact the realm of Zifu in the future, enjoy more than 400 years of life, and live forever.

Now I have a wife, happy and happy, but it will be difficult to go far in the future, and Zhang Xiangshen, who has a deep relationship with him, foresaw that he would send the white-haired person to the black-haired person, of course, he was sad.

Everyone's personality endowment is different, and the path is also different, Zhang Lie's character is strong and courageous, and he is decisive in killing, he is suitable for the kind of day when the avenue can only be taken by the sword, let him cultivate calmly and quietly, he will not have any great achievements in his life, at most he is above the middle people.

Zhang Xiangshen's personality is affectionate and righteous, calm and thorough, so that he wholeheartedly seeks the Tao and ignores the family, but it will form a flaw in the Taoist heart.

And Zhang Chuanling, Zhang Chuanshu, and Zhang Chuanhong are all ordinary people with personalities and talents, so they need to grind in everything, gradually accumulate self-confidence, and at the same time have enough cultivation resources to assist, they will have a certain opportunity to set foot in a higher cultivation realm, which is also the route of most ordinary people.

After being promoted to the seventh-layer realm of the Purple Mansion, Zhang Lie secretly left Zhangjiabao of Phantom Cloud Peak with Zhang Chuanling.

The thing he wanted to deal with in his heart was extremely dangerous, and after this time, Zhang Lie didn't know if he could come back alive, so he wanted to leave some legacy for the family in the end.

It's just that of course he wouldn't say these words to Zhang Chuanling, just said that let Zhang Chuanling go with him, Zhang Chuanling didn't doubt it, the two people she trusted the most in her life, one was the patriarch Zhang Xiangshen and the other was Zhang Lie, and even the master who was not very kind to her did not gain such trust.

At that time, the Zhang family was lonely and weak, and it was already all done to be able to send Zhang Chuanling to Danyang Palace, and the apprenticeship ceremony for Zhang Chuanling's mother-in-law was a little thinner.

Unexpectedly, because of this incident, Zhang Chuanling suffered from the eyes of Yunhe's mother-in-law for more than ten years, after Zhang Xiangshen knew, he also raised funds in all aspects, and finally made up a generous gift, so that Zhang Chuanling's life was better, after Yunhe's mother-in-law sat down, Zhang Chuanling's status in the sect gradually improved, and as a result, the descendants of the family behind Yunhe's mother-in-law came up to cling to the relationship, which made Zhang Chuanling's head as big as a fight, and it was not until he was stationed in Phantom Cloud Peak that these bad things gradually decreased.

Therefore, Zhang Chuanling is not close to the monks of the sect, but very close to the same clan, of course, objectively speaking, the existence of the master of Yunhe's mother-in-law still has a lot of helpful benefits for Zhang Chuanling, whether it is the teaching and protection in the early stage, or the inheritance of Zhang Chuanling's relationship network in the sect after Yunhe's mother-in-law sits, these are not small wealth.

A few days later, two rays of light landed over Taihe City. This is where Zhang Lie convened important members of the family.
