Chapter 14: The Patriarch Calls Each Other
Jiufeng Ridge, Feishi Peak.
Feishi Peak has a strong aura, ranking third among the nine peaks, and it is the cultivation place of Zhou Daoquan, the third elder of the Zhou family.
The library building of the Zhou family is also built on this Feishi Peak.
On this day, after Zhou Chun completed the task of guarding the Pure Spirit Pavilion, he came to the Flying Stone Peak and prepared to go to the library to read the books in it.
He climbed the stairs along the carved path on the mountain, and in a short time came to the bottom of a three-story building.
With his eyes swept over the three gold-lacquered characters of "Library Building" hanging on the lintel of the high-rise building, Zhou Chun walked into the building.
I saw that in the hall on the first floor, a green-haired ape wearing a gray cloth robe was sleeping on a long table.
At this time, he seemed to hear a noise, and immediately his nose moved slightly, twitched his nose and woke up to look at him, then nodded to him slightly, and then lay down and continued to sleep.
Although it was not the first time he had seen this scene, Zhou Chun was still a little surprised at this time.
This green-haired ape is not simple, it was originally the spiritual pet of a deceased monk of the Zhou family, and it was just a low-level demon beast Aoki ape at that time.
Before the monk of the Zhou family sat down at the end of his life, he specially broke off the contract with it, wanting to release it back into the mountains and forests and give it freedom.
But it wisely rejected the kindness of the monk of the Zhou family, and voluntarily stayed in the Zhou family and continued to serve the Zhou family.
As a result, more than twenty years after that Zhou family monk sat down, it actually evolved from a first-order high-grade demon beast to a second-order demon beast [Aoki Spirit Ape].
At that time, this matter caused a lot of discussion in the Three Peerless Sects, and several Jindan monks came over to take a look at this blue-haired ape after hearing about it.
In the end, Yu Jinghua, a monk of the Jindan period at that time, came to the conclusion after research that this green-haired ape should have a hidden [Aoki Spirit Ape] bloodline.
Then, for some reason, the recessive bloodline that had been dormant turned into a dominant bloodline, which pushed up its race level, allowing it to break the shackles of low-level demon beasts that were difficult to promote to second-order demon beasts, and was promoted to become a second-order demon beast.
Now, this [Aoki Spirit Ape] is already a second-order mid-grade demon beast, and its status in the Zhou family is equivalent to that of the core clan, and it has also been called "Ape Elder".
Even this important library building has been entrusted to its care.
And although it can't speak human language, in fact, its wisdom is no lower than that of ordinary people, and it can read and read, and can write and communicate with people.
When Zhou Chun first came to the library and saw it, out of curiosity, he also wrote and communicated with it.
At that time, I felt very strange, I just hated that I didn't have a mobile phone in hand, and I couldn't shoot a video and send it to Douyin, otherwise I would definitely be popular in seconds, and the whole network would explode!
At this time, after taking a few more glances at the sleeping green-haired ape, Zhou Chuncai walked lightly to the rows of bookshelves behind.
According to the rules of the Zhou family, the first floor of the library building is open to all Zhou family monks at will, the second floor can only be applied for by the core clan, and the third floor can only be entered by the elders.
But even if it is only one floor, there are thousands of books, enough for Zhou Chun to read for a long time.
After all, he doesn't have a lot of time to read every day.
Zhou Chun doesn't just read any books, what he prioritizes now is all kinds of beast-related classics, especially the various beast-related experiences summarized by the ancestors of the Zhou family, as well as the various strange monsters that have been recorded.
As he stayed in Zhou's house for a longer time and saw all kinds of demon beasts, Zhou Chun also became very interested in the royal beasts.
He also wants to raise a few smart pets like "Ape Lao", which can not only give him great help when fighting, but also relieve boredom and play, and even cook and laundry for himself.
Of course, these are definitely not going to be able to count on the rock and soil turtle, and they have to be those "hairy children" who are themselves highly intelligent and beautiful and good-looking.
The sun rises and the moon sets, spring goes to winter, and in the blink of an eye, it has been a year since Zhou Chun came to this world.
And since he came to Zhou's house in Jiufengling, except for a short time when he usually goes out hunting, he spends the rest of his time in the mountain gate.
His life is also very regular, after the daily routine of meditation and cultivation and guarding the Pure Spirit Pavilion, he just does some small tasks, and then soaks in the library to read and study.
Occasionally, I will be invited by other monks of the same clan to participate in some cultivation experience and beast control experience exchange activities, and share some beast control experience with each other.
In this way, after a year, his cultivation has also improved steadily, and he has broken through three tricks.
At the same time, he cultivated the spirit pet rock and earth turtle for a year, and his body size finally grew to the size of a foot basin, and he successfully awakened two talent spells, "Stone Skin Technique" and "Earth Thorn Technique", and had the strength equivalent to that of a fourth-layer immortal cultivator in the Qi Refining Period.
Everything is developing for the better, including the Zhou family.
Although Zhou Chun has never gone out in the past year, he has never relaxed his observation of the movements of the Zhou family's top management and the changes in the Zhou family.
According to his various observations, the Zhou family's high-level officials should have visited various forces in Lanzhou and the surrounding Yasukuni states in an effort to eliminate the hostility and vigilance of those forces and make them agree with the Zhou family's future status as a member of Yasukuni.
Judging from some changes within the family, the efforts of the top leaders of the Zhou family have obviously achieved certain results.
At least in the last six months, some Yasukuni monks have finally been invited by the top level of the Zhou family to visit Jiufengling.
On this day, when Zhou Chun went to the Jingling Pavilion on Baozhi Peak as usual, he got a good news from Zhou Jiahe, the peak master who was sitting together.
After the Zhou family established themselves in Jiufeng Ridge for a year, a few casual cultivators finally came to the Zhou family to rent a cultivation room to practice.
Renting out the cultivation room for cultivators from the outside world to cultivate is a business that is relatively easy for various immortal cultivation families and sects to earn spirit coins.
Now there are casual cultivators who are willing to come to the Zhou family to cultivate, which shows that the Zhou family's notoriety of seizing Jiufengling at that time is gradually fading.
At least some casual cultivators are already willing to believe that the Zhou family will not persecute the casual cultivators who come to cultivate.
This is really very good news.
Because as long as a sufficient number of casual cultivators come to the Zhou family to cultivate, they will not only be able to bring a steady stream of spiritual coin income to the Zhou family at that time.
The Zhou family could also use free cultivation as a temptation to let some casual cultivators participate in the work of guarding the Pure Spirit Pavilion.
In this way, a part of the Zhou family monks were liberated, so that they had time to go out and do what they wanted to do.
And the good news doesn't stop there.
Two days later, Zhou Chun was reading a book in the library building, when a big blue parrot with bright feathers suddenly flew into the library, looked at him and shouted: "Brother Chun, Brother Chun, the patriarch has an order, let you go to the Pagoda Peak to see him immediately." ”
Seeing this, Zhou Chun's face first froze, and then nodded lightly in response: "I know, Lanlan, you go back and tell the patriarch, I will go to the pagoda peak to meet his old man." ”
"Lan Lan received it, goodbye Brother Chun."
The big blue parrot answered, and with a flap of its wings, it flew out of the library.
This big blue parrot is a spiritual pet specially domesticated and trained by Zhou Daoyi, the head of the Zhou family, in order to facilitate the office within the family.
It itself is only a first-order mid-grade demon beast, but it is very smart, has the ability to learn tongues, and can recognize the appearance of more than a hundred Zhou family monks, and can easily find a certain Zhou family monk in the mountain gate, and convey Zhou Daoyi's orders in time.
There are still a lot of Zhou family monks who domesticate low-level demon beasts like this to help them work.
Not daring to delay, Zhou Chun quickly put the books in his hand back in place after the blue parrot left, and then strode out of the library building and went straight to the pagoda peak.
When he arrived at the "Zhongping Hall" on the top of the pagoda peak, Zhou Chun found that not only himself, but also two other monks of the Zhou family, a man and a woman, were called here.
At this time, when I saw him coming, after he finished saluting, the patriarch Zhou Daoyi opened his mouth to look at the three of them and said, "I am in a hurry to call the three of you over this time, because there is a task that the three of you need to do, I don't know if you dare to go?" ”
Hearing his words, Zhou Chun and the three couldn't help but look at each other, and then the eldest young man of the Zhou family replied respectfully: "I don't know what the task is?" Please also ask the patriarch to speak clearly. ”
Zhou Daoyi immediately said: "The task is not difficult, that is, the Zhou family has negotiated with the three Yasukuni immortal cultivation families, and is willing to send Zhou family monks who are proficient in the art of beast control to their family for three years, and train some clansmen who are proficient in the art of beast control for them." ”
After speaking, he glanced at the three of them deeply, and said lightly: "This seat has also been investigated, and with the knowledge and cultivation of the three of you, you are fully qualified for this job." ”
"What about security? If we go to another family alone to stay there, will they make sure we are safe? ”
The female cultivator of the Zhou family, among the three, also asked in a low voice what she cared about.
"Of course, they will treat you as VIPs and absolutely guarantee your personal safety!"
Zhou Daoyi nodded without hesitation and said with certainty.
When the nun heard this, she immediately said: "Since this is the case, the younger generation is willing to obey the family arrangement and serve the family. ”
"The younger generation is also willing to serve the family."
Zhou Chun and another young man also responded.
"Very good, then you go back and prepare, the details of the specific task have been compiled into a book here, you can read it a few more times first, and you have the bottom of it."
Zhou Daoyi nodded with satisfaction, and with a wave of his hand, he handed out the three manuals to the three of them.
