Jiufeng Ridge.

On this day, the Jiufengling Zhou family was quite lively.

Many Zhou monks came to the vicinity of the entrance and exit of the mountain gate, ready to welcome the Zhou monks who had returned from the battle.

That's right, today is the day when the monks of the Zhou family's expedition to Yunzhou return.

After being stationed in Yunzhou for more than a year, the monks who were requisitioned and transferred by the Zhou family were finally able to return to the family.

This is not because the war between Yunzhou and the Hualong Sect has ended, but after the coordination and consultation of Qinglianguan and other Yasukuni factions, reinforcements sent from other Yasukuni factions and prefectures have already arrived on the Yunzhou battlefield.

With the addition of these new forces, the number of Yasukuni monks in Yunzhou was very rich, so Qinglianguan asked the monks of Lanzhou, Lingzhou, and Lianzhou, who had been urgently recruited to fight in the past, to return to their families to recuperate.

And the fourteen Zhou family Qi refining period cultivators who went there at the beginning, but now there are only seven of them who have returned alive, and two of them have become cripples with broken arms and blindness!

At this time, under the leadership of Zhou Jiarui, the fourth elder of the Zhou family, a group of Zhou family monks slowly walked into the entrance of the mountain gate that had already been opened for them and walked into the mountain gate.

Then they saw Zhou Chun, Zhou Jiahe, and as many as sixty or seventy Zhou family monks of all sizes standing in front of them.

After seeing this lineup, even Zhou Jiarui, who didn't know about it, was stunned.

I didn't expect that so many people would be here to greet them.

Facing a few people with surprised faces, Zhou Chun opened his hands and said with a smile on his face: "Welcome all the warriors who have gone out to fight!" ”

"You are all heroes of the family, and the family is proud to have you who are not afraid of sacrifice!"

"On behalf of all the monks of the family, I would like to sincerely thank you for your sacrifices and contributions to the family!"

Speaking of this, he also bowed deeply and saluted a few people.

Then he looked at a few people with sincere eyes and said, "Welcome home!" ”

"Welcome home!"

Behind Zhou Chun, Zhou Jiahe and other Zhou family monks also spoke out in unison, their faces full of smiles.

This kind of scene made Zhou Jiarui and others, who were already in a good mood because they were able to return home, feel extremely comfortable, and their hearts were greatly satisfied, and their faces were filled with happy and excited smiles.

"You kid, you can always come up with something new!"

Zhou Jiarui stepped forward with a smile on his face and patted Zhou Chun on the shoulder, obviously very satisfied with Zhou Chun's battle.

Although everyone knows that these family monks who have been recruited out are actually unlucky ghosts who are cannon fodder.

But no one can deny that their expedition has solved a troublesome matter for the family and obtained a stable cultivation opportunity for other clansmen.

It's okay to say that they are the heroes of the family.

And these Zhou family monks who originally felt that they were abandoned, after returning at this moment, they saw the deputy patriarch and elders coming over with so many clansmen to greet them and others, and the feeling of being abandoned was undoubtedly greatly reduced.

And if they are really abandoned?

Why did they have to come and welcome them in such a big battle?

Therefore, people's hearts are fickle.

For some people who know how to play with people's hearts, there are always many ways to make people who change their minds turn their hearts to themselves again.

Zhou Chun is not a master of playing with people's hearts, otherwise he would not be so old in his previous life, and he didn't even have a wife.

But I've never eaten pork, and I've seen pigs walking.

Although he is not a master of playing with people's hearts, he also knows some ways to win people's hearts and change people's hearts.

When these methods are used in conjunction with the power he now has, it will naturally work well.

If an ordinary person has done a good deed and is praised by an ordinary person, can he be as happy as being praised by the lord of a country?

Can it be so praised by the whole country?

It's easy to understand!

Of course, Zhou Chun also knows deeply that relying on verbal praise alone can only make people happy for a while, and after that momentum passes, the sense of emptiness is more likely to erode people's hearts.

Therefore, he also prepared practical benefits for these returning Zhou family monks.

Including a lot of rewards for good deeds, spirit coins, and exemption from all family chores for three years, etc.

These things, even the fallen monks, are inherited by their immediate family, if they have an immediate family of monks.

In this way, with face and lining, the monks of the Zhou family who came back naturally had no complaints.

Even the battlefield experience that made them afraid of pain has become their bragging capital at this time, and it is more effective even when they quarrel.

After the real quarrel, he directly lifted his clothes, revealing the scars left by the injuries on his body, and said excitedly and loudly that I have shed blood for the Zhou family, I have made meritorious contributions to the Zhou family, and I have blocked guns for you......

Generally, the monks of the Zhou family who have no experience in this way are the elders of higher seniority, but they are afraid that they will be speechless, and their momentum will immediately weaken!

"I didn't expect that I had only been out for more than a year, and so many things had happened in the family!"

"Thirteenth brother, you not only succeeded in building the foundation, but also became the deputy patriarch of the family, presiding over the family affairs in an all-round way!"

On Baozhi Peak, Zhou Zhengyong, who had returned from his own living room, looked at the clan brother in front of him with emotion on his face, and his eyes were full of amazement.

A year after he went out to fight, although he also had gains, his cultivation broke through to the tenth layer of the Qi Refining Period.

But compared with Zhou Chun's success in building the foundation, it is obviously nothing.

And when Zhou Chun heard his exclamation words, he just smiled slightly and didn't say anything.

Similar words have been said by many people for a long time.

After he gently picked up the teacup next to him and took a sip of tea, he looked at Zhou Zhengyong with a slight look of surprise and said: "Brother Yong, you seem to have gained a lot of gains, not only have you cultivated and improved, but this spiritual temperament is also very different from before, it seems that you have experienced a lot of things in the past year or so!" ”

Hearing his words, Zhou Zhengyong couldn't help but stare at him, and then as if he had thought of something, his face suddenly sighed softly: "Yes, I have indeed experienced a lot of things!" ”

"Then I don't know if I can talk to my little brother?"

Zhou Chun asked with a curious look on his face.

When Zhou Zhengyong heard this, he hesitated a little at first, but after only hesitating for a while, he nodded lightly and said, "Then let's talk to the thirteenth brother!" ”

It turned out that after he went to Yunzhou, he had experienced twenty or thirty battles in just over a year!

Those battles had encounters, as well as offensive and defensive battles.

The enemies are both the official members of the Dragon Transformation Sect, as well as those who are driven by the Dragon Transformation Sect to take refuge in scattered cultivation.

One of the battles that really had the greatest impact on Zhou Zhengyong was a battle to attack the stronghold of the Dragon Sect.

In that battle, the monks of the Zhou family fell two people and left one person disabled.

And a battle that was supposed to be easy to win turned out to be a miserable victory because of the traitor's betrayal.

It's just that traitor is a companion who has fought with Zhou Zhengyong for half a year before, and the two have established a good friendship!

In this battle, Zhou Zhengyong not only lost two clansmen, but also lost a friend, and he and his pet red-tailed monkey were also seriously injured, and it took two or three months to raise them before they were completely well.

When Zhou Zhengyong said this, he couldn't help but murmur in a low voice: "After that battle, when I was recuperating from my injuries, I often looked at everyone with strange eyes, and everyone was wondering if he was also bought by the Dragon Transformation Sect!" ”

"Even the clansmen around me don't dare to believe it completely!"

When Zhou Chun heard this, he also raised his eyebrows, and couldn't help asking, "What about later?" ”

"Later, after I recovered from my injuries, I was transferred to the front line to participate in the battle, and in the battle, I was saved by a teammate who had just formed a team!"

"At that time, I knew that this is war, and this is what the Immortal Cultivation Realm should be!"

Zhou Zhengyong replied here, and suddenly looked at Zhou Chun fixedly and said: "Once we are on the battlefield, we should always be vigilant, even if we are companions who have intersected in life and death, we must keep a sense of vigilance!" ”

"But we should also keep a trust in our companions, even if we have just met them, once we choose to be together, we must believe that they will help us in times of danger!"

After speaking, he waved his hand and said: "This is my experience and perception, I hope you will not be disappointed by the thirteenth brother." ”

"Of course not disappointed!"

Zhou Chun looked at Zhou Zhengyong with brilliance in his eyes, and said with appreciation: "Brother Yong, your experience is indeed quite a test of human nature and a lot of tempering people's hearts!" ”

"Judging from your experience and your own perception, it is obvious that you are stronger now than you were before you went to Yunzhou, much more powerful!"

Yes, Zhou Chun can see that the current Zhou Zhengyong, whether it is actual combat ability or psychological endurance, is much stronger than before.

Since ancient times, war has been the fastest way for men to grow!

Men who have experienced the brutality of war will become stronger both physically and mentally.

Even immortal cultivators are no exception.

In Zhou Chun's eyes, the former Zhou Zhengyong, that is, a monk with a little bit of qualifications and beast-raising skills, can be a good animal garden manager, and can use his affectionate and righteous personality to be arranged to be a management talent in some important positions.

But now, he feels that Zhou Zhengyong's ceiling has been raised, and he already has the value that can support him to build a foundation, and he can play a greater role in the family in the future.

And compared with many monks in the Zhou family, Zhou Zhengyong has a more important value, that is, he has a wife and children, and both are monks!

From the perspective of the family, this kind of clansman with descendants is undoubtedly more important than a clansman without descendants under the same ability.

Zhou Chun is now the deputy patriarch of the Zhou family, even if he doesn't consider his personal relationship with Zhou Zhengyong, he has reason to look at him differently because of this.

At this time, Zhou Zhengyong also seemed to see something, and suddenly said to Zhou Chun with a straight face: "I know that you have great ambitions and great ambitions, but now that you have become the deputy patriarch of the family and preside over the family affairs in an all-round way, it is time to display your ambitions." ”

"I don't dare to say anything else in the future, as long as there is something in the family that needs to be used as a brother, there is absolutely nothing to say about being a brother!"

He is a Qi refining period cultivator, and it would be very incredible to say such things to a foundation building period monk, and put it outside for those scattered cultivators to see.

Even in the Immortal Cultivation Family, there are not many Qi Refining Stage cultivators who dare to have the courage to say this.

But he now has the courage to say so.

Zhou Chun understands that this is not only because he has gained great courage after the experience of life and death, but also because he has a deep affection for himself and does not treat himself as an outsider.

So he immediately nodded very formally and said, "I will, and I will definitely be useful to Brother Yong when the time comes!" ”

"Then my brother will be waiting for your command at any time."

Zhou Zhengyong grinned, seemingly satisfied with Zhou Chun's answer.

After the two chatted for a while, Zhou Chun did not take up any more time for Zhou Zhengyong, and quickly left his home, so that he could talk to his wife and children.

It seems to be a happy event.

Not long after Zhou Zhengyong and the other monks returned to the family, Zhou Daoquan, the third elder of the Zhou family, who had been in retreat for several years, also successfully broke through to the late stage of foundation building.

As a result, the Zhou family had two monks in the late stage of foundation building.

And because Zhou Daoquan is only over 170 years old now, he also has the possibility of impacting the Purple Mansion in the future.

It's just that he was unlucky, it just so happened that Zhou Daoyi got the opportunity to transform Jiaojiao because of his spiritual pet, and he was also ready to attack the Purple Mansion.

With the current strength of the Zhou family, it is still a little unrealistic to support two foundation-building monks to attack the Purple Mansion at the same time.

It may take one of the two to seek a breakthrough in the future.

But that's for later.

At least for now, because of Zhou Daoquan's successful breakthrough in the late stage of foundation building, all the monks in the Zhou family are in a good mood.

This is what a vibrant family looks like, and a thriving family should look like!

"I don't want so many things to happen in the years that my husband has been in retreat!"

"The Mu family is gone and rebuilt, and a Dragon Sect protector died under the siege of the Supreme Elders!"

"And you, this kid, not only succeeded in building the foundation, but also became the deputy patriarch of the family and officially took over the responsibilities of the patriarch!"

On the Flying Stone Peak, when Zhou Chun came alone to congratulate Zhou Daoquan, who had just come out of the customs, the Zhou family elder looked at the young juniors in front of him who were already in the same realm as himself, thinking about the various news he had just learned, and he was also emotional.

After Zhou Chun heard his emotion, his eyes moved, and he couldn't help but smile and said: "Elder, you have indeed missed a lot of things, if you feel regretful because you did not participate in these things, then why don't you help the younger generation to carry out a comprehensive reform of the family next?" ”

"The younger generation can assure you that this comprehensive reform will definitely be an important reform that will affect the Zhou family for a thousand years, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a millennium plan!"

By the end, the tone had become very solemn.

This change in tone made Zhou Daoquan also can't help but narrow his eyes, and his eyes looked at him in surprise.

Then he said in a solemn tone: "Listening to your tone, this reform should be very unusual!" ”

After speaking, he asked, "You want to comprehensively reform the family, does Elder Taishang know?" Agreed? ”

"The junior is going to get the consent of the elders first, and then invite the Supreme Elder to make the final ruling!"

Zhou Chun's face calmly said something that made Zhou Daoquan's face change.
