Chapter 142: Zhou Mingde's Abacus [Ask for Subscription]
Lin Hongyu soon left the Zhou family.
Judging from the look on her face when she left, she was obviously more satisfied.
But after Lin Hongyu left, the two Zhou family rulers sat in the stone pavilion on the top of the mountain with gloomy faces, and did not move for a long time.
After sitting quietly like this for a long time, Zhou Daoyi sighed with a heavy face: "We shouldn't have agreed to her!" ”
"It's a game against a tiger!"
"As long as this matter leaks out, our Zhou family will be wiped out!"
After saying this, he saw Zhou Mingde on the other side also sighed lightly: "These old men naturally know, but the situation is out of control!" ”
"If we don't agree to her, whether she makes a big fuss inside the mountain gate, or announces that the Qingjiao Neidan was obtained by you and has an affair with you, the trouble that our Zhou family encountered will not be any less than that promised her!"
When Zhou Daoyi heard this, he was immediately speechless, unable to refute.
He had seen Lin Hongyu's strength with his own eyes, and in the state of the explosion of secret arts, even the late-stage cultivators of the Purple Mansion of Qinglian Guan had to avoid his edge, and his strength was definitely not comparable to Zhou Mingde.
And since he dared to come to the Zhou family alone this time, he must have been fully prepared before he dared to come.
If there is really a big trouble in the Zhou family, even if the Zhou family can suppress her with the help of the power of the mountain protection array, I don't know how many clansmen will die!
The consequences are no different from destroying the family and destroying the family.
But thinking of Lin Hongyu's previous conditions, Zhou Daoyi's eyelids jumped again, and he couldn't help but say: "But if you really follow what she said, if you recruit mortals with spiritual root qualifications and loose cultivation for her, you will be a real enemy, just by virtue of this, once the matter is leaked, we can't wash it away!" ”
"The old man doesn't know this!"
Zhou Mingde raised his eyebrows, and said helplessly: "But for today's plan, only Xianxu and the snake are dragged!" ”
Speaking of this, his eyes flashed, and he said again: "What's more, the enemy also depends on how to define it, if we can find some breakthroughs from the Dragon Transformation Sect afterwards and find a way to make them lose a big wave, then this is not a capital enemy, but if you want to take it, you must give it first!" ”
After speaking, he concluded: "In short, drag it as much as you can, drag it if you can, and wait until you drag it to your Azure Cloud Python Jiaojiao, we have the confidence to turn our faces, and then find a way to solve this problem once and for all!" ”
But Zhou Daoyi listened to his method, but he always felt that it was too risky.
With the strength of the Zhou family, doing this kind of thing of stepping on the tightrope alone, but if there is a half-point difference, it will destroy the family and destroy the family!
So he said again: "Why don't we confess to Qinglian Temple?" Through the mouth of the Mingxia Dao people, inform the high-level of Qinglian Guan about this matter and see what they plan to do! ”
"If they ask about the Frog Neidan, let's say that it has been used, and they can't shout and kill our Zhou family for this!"
However, when Zhou Mingde heard his words, he shook his head again and again and said: "It won't work, let's not say that Qinglian Guan must have a way to verify the truth of what we said, that is, they can really not pursue the matter of Qingjiao Neidan, and if we send this handle to the door, it is equivalent to entrusting the lives of the whole clan to others!" ”
"Don't forget, the reason why our Zhou family is helping Qinglian Guan now is because the family foundation is within their sphere of influence, and they have to do so, not that the family has any relationship with Qinglian Guan, nor does it have any deep hatred with the Hualong Sect!"
"If you seriously talk about it, our Zhou family has fallen into the current situation, and Qinglian Guan is the culprit!"
These words made Zhou Daoyi silent.
Indeed, for the Zhou family, Qinglian Guan is not a good bird.
At the beginning, it was the Qinglian Temple that dismantled the Three Peerless Sects, and at that time, in order to let the Qinglian Temple take in these foreign monks, nearly half of the sect savings brought by the Three Peerless Sects were forced to be dedicated to the Qinglian Temple as "road expenses".
With this layer of estrangement, taking the initiative to hand over the handle to Qinglian Guan at this time is really putting life and death in the hands of others!
Unless he can give up that frog Neidan and sacrifice this thing!
But thinking of the "sacrifice" he made in order to obtain the frog inner pill, and the importance of this thing to himself and the Zhou family.
Zhou Daoyi quickly erased this idea.
That's impossible!
"Okay, don't think about it, although this matter is extremely troublesome, as long as we and Lin Hongyu are cautious, it may not be exposed, and the benefits are not small!"
"That Dragon Transformation Sect has opened up such a large area on the bank of Long Yuanze, where demon beasts are rampant, and it must have a lot of all kinds of rare things, if we can obtain some things that our Zhou family urgently needs through trading with Lin Hongyu, it will also be very obvious to the strength of the family!"
"The so-called relying on others is better than relying on oneself, as long as our Zhou family has grown stronger and has the capital to turn up again, even if it is really completely refuge in the Dragon Sect at that time, or go elsewhere, it is not impossible!"
When Zhou Mingde said this, he waved his hand and said: "In short, things have reached this point now, any choice may overturn our Zhou family, so we naturally have to choose one that can help the family develop faster!" ”
There is no such thing as a free gain in the world!
Since Zhou Daoyi was able to obtain the Qingjiao Neidan for the benefit of the fisherman, but failed to extinguish it in time, he was destined to pay the price.
Zhou Mingde sees this very clearly.
Therefore, he knows better than Zhou Daoyi, an insider, that since the Zhou family is reluctant to take that benefit, he must definitely bear the risks it brings.
What's more, it is dangerous to seek skin with tigers, but the rewards are also great.
Just like when he led people to rebuild the Zhou family at the risk of tearing his face with Yu Jinghua and dying, it was also a big adventure, but the harvest after success was just as great.
Therefore, when faced with the need to make a risky choice, he dares to make a risky move!
In this way, after his persuasion, Zhou Daoyi did not mention the matter of informing Qinglian Guan again.
The two quickly discussed how to make a deal with Lin Hongyu safely and covertly.
However, after the two discussed for a while, Zhou Daoyi suddenly said: "Now it is Zhengchun who is handling family affairs, if you want to use the power of the family to do this, it is impossible to hide it from him, it is better to call him over to discuss!" ”
"This ......"
Zhou Mingde was a little hesitant and groaned, and did not agree immediately.
Zhou Daoyi understood that he was worried that the more people who knew, the more risks of leakage.
But he still said: "If you can't believe him, then how can Elder Taishang rest assured that he will take over the position of patriarch in the future?" What's more, he already knew about Qingjiao Neidan in my hands. ”
"Okay, then I'll go to the Zhongping Hall to discuss together."
Zhou Mingde nodded, still agreeing with his words.
So the two immediately went to the Zhongping Hall and discussed this matter with Zhou Chun.
Of course, in order to take care of Zhou Daoyi's face, neither of them mentioned the fragrant affair between him and Lin Hongyu, but when Lin Hongyu was seriously injured, he could only escape with part of the frog's body first, and this time he came to take revenge.
Even so, when Zhou Chun heard the deal agreement reached between the two and Lin Hongyu, he was shocked in his heart, and he was dumbfounded on the spot.
"I know that you are shocked by this, but this seat and Elder Taishang have already discussed, and this is the best choice for the Zhou family at present, so now I want to discuss with you how to do as much as possible to conceal the transaction and not let this matter be exposed!"
Zhou Daoyi looked at Zhou Chun, who was shocked, and said his intention in a low tone.
What he meant by this was to ask Zhou Chun not to ask why he did such a risky thing, but to find a way to minimize the risk.
Zhou Chun could naturally hear this.
And after listening to Zhou Daoyi's words, his first thought was outsourcing!
As long as the Zhou family does not use the power of the family to do this matter in person, even if it is exposed and leaked, it can be pushed to the outsourced person.
But he quickly realized that this kind of thing would not work in this world of immortal cultivation.
Although there are rules and orders in the world of cultivating immortals, this kind of thing involves a huge amount of things, and the big forces will not talk about the rules and order with the small forces.
Moreover, even in the world of his previous life, a company that dared to throw such an important matter to the outsourced person could not be a force like the Zhou family with no big background.
So outsourcing will only make it easier to leak and expose.
"The younger generation thinks that if you want to keep it as secret as possible, you must first choose a place outside Lanzhou, and then you can't go to find someone under the banner of the Zhou family, it is best to find a mortal with a spiritual root qualification in the way of casual cultivation and apprenticeship, and try to send mortals over."
"Even if you have to send the casual cultivator over, you must try to choose the outer state casual cultivator who doesn't know and is familiar with our Zhou family!"
"In addition, the younger generation thinks that the biggest possibility of this matter being exposed does not lie in our Zhou family, as long as we don't give it to her on a large scale, it is unlikely that anyone will find out."
"The one who is most likely to expose our Zhou family is still the side of the Dragon Sect, once they don't do a good job of secrecy, our Zhou family will be easily exposed!"
Zhou Chun's mind was spinning rapidly, and he soon put forward a few opinions of his own.
To be honest, he felt that as long as this thing was done for a long time, it would be exposed sooner or later.
After all, the Dragon Transformation Sect does not want dead people, but living people.
They didn't have to think much about what their intentions were for these living people, they definitely wanted to use these monks and mortals who could practice to expand the power of the sect.
After all, the Dragon Transformation Sect was in that kind of remote and wild place, and it was not easy to obtain enough cultivators with cultivation qualifications.
Otherwise, they have already established a country outside, why should they find their own hardships to provoke the various factions in Yasukuni!
And after these living people arrived at the side of the Dragon Transformation Sect, if they had a grudge against the people who deceived them into the Dragon Transformation Sect, it would be easy for them to find a way to spread the news and cause the Yasukuni side to come and investigate them.
But Zhou Mingde must also know this, and Zhou Chun didn't go into details, but just pointed out the risk of exposure.
"We have also considered the most easily exposed risks on the side of the Dragon Transformation Sect, so we also agree that it is best to send mortals over, at least if mortals want to grow to the point where they can do things for the Dragon Transformation Sect, it is not something that can be done in ten or eight years!"
Zhou Mingde nodded slightly, agreeing with Zhou Chun's statement.
But he quickly said with a worried look on his face: "But that Lin Hongyu has set a bottom line for us, every time we trade, the number of immortal cultivators must be at least ten, and we must trade at least once a year!" ”
"What? Trade once a year! ”
Zhou Chun's face changed, and he looked at Zhou Mingde and the others with a surprised face.
Zhou Mingde knew what he was surprised about, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "No way, we also think that this condition is too harsh, but she is not relaxed at all in this regard, and even refuses to give in if she would rather increase the remuneration given to us!" ”
"Then it's going to be really hard!"
Zhou Chun muttered to himself, and was also embarrassed by the fact that the two high-level officials of the Zhou family made it.
With the power and strength of the Zhou family, it is not difficult to quietly get ten Qi refining periods to be scattered and sent to the Dragon Transformation Sect every year.
But the difficulty is that the confidentiality requirements for this matter are too high, and the real inside story can only be known by the three of them, but it can't be the three of them.
But how can we make the people who do it not ask the reason, and have the ability to arrest people exactly according to the requirements of several people?
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in Zhou Chun's mind, and he thought of a suitable candidate.
When he looked at Zhou Mingde and the others, he said, "Elder Taishang, patriarch, what do you think of the ape elder who guards the library?" If the ape elder is allowed to arrest people, as long as the people who are not familiar with it see it, even those who are captured will only see it! ”
"The [Aoki Spirit Ape]?"
"Great idea!"
Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi's eyes lit up, and they instantly understood what Zhou Chun meant.
The [Aoki Spirit Ape] almost never leaves the Flying Stone Peak, so no one can see it except for the Zhou family monks.
Let it go out to arrest people, and there is absolutely no need to worry about the news leaking from the Zhou family.
Zhou Mingde immediately said: "Dao Quan is also a credible person, this matter can be let him know and cover for him!" ”
"If that's the case, then the target is easy to choose, just choose those bandit cultivators who have done all the bad things, such people are sent to the Dragon Transformation Sect, and it can be regarded as doing good things for the Yasukuni Immortal Cultivation Realm!"
Zhou Daoyi also expressed his opinion.
"Then let's settle it down first, and I'll think about the details of what to do when we go back, so as to be foolproof!"
Zhou Mingde made a decision on the spot and ended the conversation.
After Zhou Mingde left, Zhou Daoyi did not leave immediately, but repeated his previous conversation with Zhou Mingde to Zhou Chun, explaining the reason for this risky decision.
And after listening to his retelling, Zhou Chun finally understood the reason why the two family leaders did this.
My heart is not as full of doubts as before.
So in the next period of time, several people in power of the Zhou family gathered and discussed several times around this matter related to the life and death of the family, and finally determined a set of feasible methods.
However, there is still a year to go before the next transaction, and Zhou Chun and the others are naturally not in a hurry to act immediately.
At this moment, the Wang family of the Red Medicine Valley suddenly sent Zhou Chun news about the Vein Protector Pill he needed.
