After leaving in a hurry from Qinglian Temple, Zhou Chun quickly returned to the family mountain gate with a full stomach.

When he arrived at the family, he immediately informed Zhou Mingde, Zhou Daoyi, and Zhou Daoquan of the insect plague in Yangguo that Qing Weizi and himself had said.

Then the group began to discuss the matter.

"There are still two countries between Yangguo and Yasukuni, and even if the insect plague really spreads, it is unlikely to spread to Yasukuni, so the family side does not have to worry about the threat of the insect plague."

As soon as Zhou Mingde opened his mouth, he first talked about the threat of the insect plague, and decided that the Zhou family could not be threatened by this insect plague.

For his statement, several other people basically agree.

Then Zhou Daoyi also quickly expressed his opinion and said: "Insect plagues are often rare once in a thousand years, if you can ensure safety, it is not impossible for the family to send a few people to study it, even if you can't study any useful methods for insect plagues, you can also broaden your horizons and learn more about the situation of insect plagues." ”

Hearing his words, Zhou Mingde couldn't help but say: "The truth is indeed the truth, but since you have gone to Yangguo, who can guarantee safety in the face of the overwhelming demon insects?" In case they were surrounded by a large group of demon insects, even the Jindan Stage Monk might not be able to escape with his whole body! ”

"This is easy to do, even if we send people to Yangguo, we don't need to be commanded by anyone, we must have the right to move freely, so that as long as we don't go deep into the area where the insect plague is raging, we can basically put an end to the danger of being surrounded by demon insects!"

It was Zhou Daoquan who said this, and the angle he found was very clear, and with one word, Zhou Mingde's worries were resolved, which made several people scream.

"Dao Quan is right, if we really want to send someone to Yangguo, we must do this, and we must take the initiative in our own hands!"

Zhou Mingde nodded again and again, agreeing with Zhou Daoquan's statement.

Zhou Chun heard them say this, and also expressed his opinion and said: "Although the master of Qingweizi Guan did not directly issue the decree, but since his old man mentioned this matter, it is reasonable, we should also take care of his old man's face, and send a few people to take a trip, even if it is for show!" ”

"Then who do you think you should send?"

Zhou Daoyi looked at Zhou Chun and asked softly.

"According to the opinion of the younger generation, Uncle Fourteen must bring it, his old man has made great achievements in poison, and he has also made some slight improvements in the family's anti-insect prescriptions, and the family can be said to be unmatched in this aspect of skills."

"The other three Supreme Elders must also go to one, otherwise it will take an unknown amount of time just to travel back and forth."

"If you can, the younger generation also wants to go there in person to open your eyes."

Facing the gaze of the three Supreme Elders, Zhou Chun said his opinion in a calm tone.

Hearing his words, Zhou Daoyi immediately frowned and said: "Zhengchun, you don't need to go, not to mention the danger of going to Yangguo, even the family side, I am afraid it will be difficult to operate without you." ”

"You are wrong, in recent years, the younger generation has consciously trained a few deputies to assist in handling family affairs, and recompiled the handling manual of related common affairs, and now no matter who replaces the responsibilities of the juniors, at least there will be no problems in the daily operation of the family."

Zhou Chun shook his head slightly, and softly denied Zhou Daoyi's opinion.

He has been committed to reforming and optimizing the institutional structure of the Zhou family, and has optimized and adjusted the personnel structure in some aspects many times over the years.

Now the mortal scribes in the Zhongping Hall have been expanded by him to twenty-four, and they can be on duty in two shifts.

At the same time, three new family monks were added as assistants to the patriarch to assist the patriarch in handling various family affairs.

Now, after several years of training, the three assistant patriarchs are fully proficient in handling the daily affairs of the family, which can help him save a lot of energy.

In many cases, Zhou Chun can even use himself as a stamper, as long as he is responsible for stamping those sorted out documents and notices.

And the patriarch's handbook he compiled is an artifact he prepared for those who will act as agents of his patriarch's affairs in the future.

This handbook clearly states the methods and scales for the handling of most family affairs, and anyone who encounters an incident will basically not do anything wrong as long as they follow the instructions recorded in the handbook.

So even if he leaves the family again like before, and he will be gone for several years, the family elder who acts as the patriarch will no longer need to deal with various family affairs as hard as before.

At this time, after listening to Zhou Chun's words, Zhou Daoyi didn't say anything, but Zhou Mingde spoke up again: "It's good to let him go out for a walk and gain knowledge, and with the old man by his side, don't worry about what can happen to him." ”

"Do you want to go yourself?"

Zhou Daoyi was slightly stunned, he didn't expect him to say this.

Zhou Mingde waved his hand slightly and said: "Only the old man is the most suitable, Dao Yi, you are more important to the family than the old man now, and it is more suitable to sit in the family, as for Daoquan, after all, the time to open up the Purple Mansion is still short, and you also need to cultivate more to improve your strength." ”

"If Elder Taishang goes in person, then this trip could not be safer."

Zhou Chun smiled on his face and immediately expressed his approval.

Seeing this, Zhou Daoyi and Zhou Daoquan didn't want to say anything more, so they could only agree.

In this way, after some discussion and after soliciting Zhou Jiawei's own opinions, the Zhou family's decision to go to Yangguo was decided.

The team will be led by Zhou Mingde, accompanied by Zhou Chun, Zhou Jiapeng, Zhou Jiawei and Zhou Zhengqing.

Zhou Zhengqing is the junior of the Zhou family's "Zheng" generation, he is only twenty-seven years old this year, and he only has a sixth-level cultivation in the Qi refining period, and his father is a monk of the Zhou family's "family" generation.

He is the successor that Zhou Jiawei cultivated for himself, and he is also Zhou Jiawei's right-hand man.

After the team members were confirmed, they immediately set off to the Qinglian Guanshan Gate, preparing to take the hitchhiker of Qinglian Guan to Yangguo.

Qing Weizi did not object to the Zhou family's action alone, and agreed to the Zhou family's plan to take the Qinglian View hitchhiker.

This time, in response to the "humanitarian distress order" issued by Yangguo, Qinglianguan also sent a luxury team to help.

The team was led by two Jindan period monks, including six Zifu period monks and 36 foundation building period monks.

What surprised Zhou Chun was that Liu Shiyun was also among the thirty-six people.

said that since he realized that Liu Shiyun was interesting to him and began to take the initiative to contact each other, the contact between the two has become less and less.

Especially after Liu Qingshan knew about Su Yuzhen's residence in his yard, Liu Shiyun never wrote to him alone.

However, Liu Shiyun has always accepted the spiritual honey and spiritual tea sent by Zhou Chun, and she has no real friends to do it.

At this time, when it was time to set off, the two met again, and after a little hesitation, Zhou Chun took the initiative to greet him.

But in the face of his greeting, Liu Shiyun responded very coldly.

After sticking such a hot face to the cold buttocks, Zhou Chun also didn't say anything more.

Led by two Jindan monks, they flew for almost two days before finally arriving at the border of the Yang Kingdom.

The area where Yangguo is located is somewhat unique; one-third of the country's territory is covered by snow-capped mountains and plateaus, and there are many mountains and few plains in the territory, and the population is far inferior to that of Yasukuni.

However, the strength of the Yang Kingdom in the immortal cultivation realm is much stronger than that of the Jing Kingdom.

This is mainly because there are many spiritual mountains and spiritual lands in Yangguo, and spiritual mineral resources are also abundant.

These abundant resources are there, which naturally attracts many powerful immortal cultivators to establish a mountain gate station there.

Before this insect plague, Yang was also a powerful country among several nearby countries, and some of its domestic sect forces would even recruit disciples to the territory of neighboring countries.

However, this sudden outbreak of the insect plague caused the Yang Kingdom Immortal Cultivation Realm to suffer a great blow, and many small and medium-sized forces were directly wiped out in the insect plague, and even some of the big forces suffered heavy losses, and even the mountain gate station was discarded.

Now the essence of the Yang Kingdom's immortal cultivation realm is concentrated on the snow-capped mountain plateau.

It is said that it is because the ice and snow environment makes those low-level demon insects in the insect plague unadaptable, so they temporarily keep this territory.

But in this way, the direction of the insect plague's attack began to shift to the surrounding countries of the Yang country.

Now the people who want to eliminate the insect plague the most have replaced it with several countries around Yangguo.

After Zhou Chun and the others followed Qinglian Guan to the border of Yang Kingdom, they separated from them first.

For the five members of the Zhou family, it is undoubtedly a dangerous thing to directly enter the Yang country, which has been infested with insect plagues.

Now they just want to stay in Yang Abroad first, first collect as much news as possible about the insect plague, and first get some live low-level demon insects to do research.

The place where the five members of the Zhou family settled was the Great Cloud Country, located in the southeast of the Yang Kingdom, which was weaker and inferior to Yasukuni.

At this time, in order to defend the border, the various sect families of the Great Cloud Country sent most of their men and horses to the border area to set up camp, and constantly sent people across the border to the territory of the Yang Kingdom to eliminate the demon insects.

Before finding a way to eliminate demon insects on a large scale, immortal cultivators could only use this most primitive method to weaken the power of the insect plague.

Although this method is primitive, it is also effective and effective.

Thanks to the culling of a large number of immortal cultivators day and night, the expansion momentum of some insect plagues was slightly curbed, so that they did not rush out of the Yang country so quickly.

Otherwise, once the insect plague is allowed to bloom and spread in all directions, it may become a catastrophe of the level of "soul devouring locust plague".

At this time, after the five members of the Zhou family and Qinglianguan and his party separated, they searched for someone nearby and went to the nearby Dayun Guofang City.

At this time, the various forces of the Great Cloud Country were unprecedentedly united, and all the markets and strongholds were conditionally open to monks who were willing to destroy demon insects for free.

As long as you hand in a first-order low-grade demon insect corpse, you can cultivate for free for two hours.

Moreover, this kind of free cultivation time can also be accumulated and superimposed, that is, even if the insect plague is eliminated in the future, the cultivation time accumulated through this method can continue to be used.

It is precisely because of this that even though they knew that the insect plague was severe, the vast majority of the scattered cultivators of the Great Cloud Country still stayed to defend the country and worked hard to go to the territory of the Yang Kingdom to eliminate the demon insects.

When they learned that the five members of the Zhou family had made a special trip from Yasukuni to Dayun Country to help, the guards and monks of Fang City were also very enthusiastic about them, not only helping to contact a place as their resting place, but also willing to provide them with free information about the insect plague.

This was an unexpected surprise for the five members of the Zhou family, and it also made them feel the influence of the insect plague even more.

And through the conversation with the monks of the Great Cloud Kingdom, Zhou Chun and the others quickly gained a lot of news that Qing Weizi had never mentioned.

For example, before the arrival of the Zhou family, the monks of the Yang Kingdom and the Great Cloud Kingdom had also summoned a large number of alchemists and monks who used poison to develop poisons against demon insects.

In the beginning, it was true that a lot of useful poisons were researched.

However, it soon became clear that because the swarm was so large, it was difficult to find enough raw materials for the poison to reach the level of large-scale extermination.

And the demon insects in the insect plague themselves are also extremely adaptable, a poison poisons a large number of demon insects, those surviving demon insects will produce resistance, and this resistance will also be passed on to the next generation of demon insects.

In this way, if you can't poison a sufficient number of demon insects at one time, it will be difficult for the same poison to take effect on the insect swarm later.

And that kind of poison that can poison a sufficient number of demon insects, I haven't heard of anyone who can research it until now.

Now it is recognized that the best method of exterminating insects is fire and freezing.

In the current territory of the Yang Kingdom, as long as it can be burned, it has been set on fire by the immortal cultivators, one is to burn those low-level demon insects and some insect eggs, and the other is to reduce the food obtained by the insect swarm.

The freezing is because the demon insects are generally afraid of cold, and they attack the demon insects with ice spells, except for some demon insects that mutate out of the ice attribute, they are easy to be hit by the ice spell to hit critical damage.

"It's better to hear than to see, tomorrow the old man and Zhengchun will go to the territory of Yangguo to contact the insect swarm, catch some live insects and come over to study, Jiapeng and a few of you will continue to inquire and collect news about the insect plague in this city."

In the room, after Zhou Mingde had a general understanding of the situation about the insect plague in Yangguo, he summoned Zhou Chun and the four of them to arrange the arrangement.

Naturally, several people have no opinion on his arrangement.

So on the second day, Zhou Chun and Zhou Mingde set off for Yangguo.

Because this time they are dealing with demon insects, the two of them don't care whether they are low-key or high-profile, they are directly how convenient and how to come.

The two rode Zhou Chun's golden-winged tiger directly together to the Yang Kingdom, and arrived at the territory of the Yang Kingdom at noon.

At this time, there is an obvious boundary marker that distinguishes the land of Yang and Dayun Kingdom, that is, it is Yang Country that is burned to scorched earth, and the place where there are green waters and green mountains is Dayun Country.

After Zhou Chun and the others entered the territory of the scorched Yang Kingdom for about fifty or sixty miles, they had already discovered the figure of a demon insect foraging on the ground through their divine sense.

Although the fire burned the grass and trees, it also burned a lot of birds and beasts, and there are now many corpses of these birds and beasts on the land of Yangguo.

And those demon insects naturally won't let go of this kind of food picked up for nothing.

At this time, after seeing those demon insects, Zhou Chun wanted to test their color.

But Zhou Mingde stopped him.

"Don't be in a hurry to do it yet, let's see if we can follow these demon insects to find their hives, if only we could catch a few second-order demon insects."

Hearing this, Zhou Chun had no choice but to stop, put away the Golden-winged Tiger again, and together with Zhou Mingde, he restrained his breath and secretly observed and tracked those foraging demon insects.

After some time passed, and when it was getting dark, the two of them finally followed the foraging demon insect to find its nest.
