The appearance of the Wind Shadow Dragon Snake represents the Zhou family's success in cultivating dragon-descended demon beasts.

This is an extremely encouraging example.

It also gave Zhou Chun and Zhou Daoyi stronger confidence in cultivating more varieties of dragonborn demon beasts in the future.

It's just that the Wind Shadow Dragon Snake has not yet formed a population, and because he doesn't want outsiders to know the news in advance, this news has not yet been announced among ordinary clansmen, and only elder-level monks and some core clansmen know about it.

The current Zhou family, although its strength is getting stronger and stronger year by year, is getting stronger and stronger.

But the attention it received has also become much greater.

Many forces want to know how the Zhou family managed to take off so quickly.

Over the years, he has been caught by the Zhou family to spy on intelligence, and he can't count them on two hands.

The so-called tree is nothing more than that.

Therefore, Zhou Chun and Zhou Mingde and other high-level officials of the Zhou family gradually began to consciously change the style of the family, and they did not want to be as high-profile as before.

In the past, the Zhou family wanted to do things in a high-profile manner because they wanted to make a name for themselves and increase their popularity.

The current Zhou family is no longer short of fame, and there is no need to continue to be high-profile.

An incident that happened soon made Zhou Chun and other high-level officials of the Zhou family determined to rectify the family.

It turned out that on this day, a small family foundation monk suddenly came to the Zhou family, saying that he wanted to apologize for the reckless behavior of his juniors.

"It's all the juniors in the clan who are ignorant and offended the nobles, Yue has already taught him a hard lesson, and punished him for facing the wall for ten years, and asked the Zhou clan elder to have a large number of people who can forgive that kid and the Yue family!"

In the guest room of the Zhou family, an old man in gray with white hair on his head was facing Zhou Chun again and again, and his posture was very humble.

Zhou Chunchu was also taken aback when he heard the old man in gray say this, and he didn't understand why the other party said this.

Although according to the previous introduction of the gray-clothed old man, the Yue family he created was only a small family with no more than thirty monks, and it was far from being comparable to the Zhou family.

But the other party is also a mid-foundation building monk, how could he come to the door to apologize so humbly for no reason.

So he hurriedly asked the other party for the specific reason.

It doesn't matter if you don't ask, when you ask, Zhou Chun can't help but be angry in his heart.

It turned out that just a few days ago, a junior of the old man in gray went out on an adventure with a friend, and happened to collide with two juniors of the Zhou family, and the two sides clashed over a few elixirs, and finally fought.

As a result, the descendants of the old man in gray suffered a loss, and even almost lost their lives.

And after the injured junior returned to Yue's house, he informed the old man in gray of the reason for the injury, and wanted the old man in gray to seek justice for himself.

But after the gray-clothed old man learned that the monk who had a conflict with his juniors was a member of the Zhou family, he was startled first, and he was even more annoyed that the juniors did not know whether to live or die, and caused trouble for himself and his family.

Therefore, the old man in gray came to Zhou's house today to apologize.

However, this is what annoys Zhou Chun.

Regarding this conflict, he had not heard the two Zhou family monks mention it, and he didn't know any news at all.

This is obviously a deliberate concealment by the two of them!

And this kind of concealment has also violated the family rules.

Because according to the clan rules, all family monks who go out on adventures, once they have a grudge against others, must truthfully tell the relevant situation when they return.

This is very important!

In the past, many immortal cultivators who were destroyed and wiped out were because the clansmen provoked powerful enemies that could not be provoked, and the entire clan of monks suffered together.

Although it is said that the Yue family is only a small family, it cannot threaten the Zhou family at all.

However, this kind of behavior of not reporting is very bad in itself.

Another point is that the two Zhou family monks deliberately concealed this matter, most likely because they belonged to the unreasonable side in this conflict, and then in order to escape the punishment of the family, they chose to conceal it.

This kind of thinking is also intolerable to the patriarch Zhou Chun.

However, although there was already anger in his heart, Zhou Chun's face was not revealing anything.

No matter how he wants to deal with the two clansmen according to the clan rules in the future, he will definitely not be able to show these things in front of outsiders.

I saw that he immediately waved his hand and said: "Yue Daoyou's words are serious, Zhou has also heard the two clansmen mention this matter, but he didn't expect that there are such details in it, but Zhou is a little negligent in discipline." ”

After speaking, he said with a straight face: "Please rest assured that for the conflict between these juniors, as long as there is no big bullying of the small, not fate, Zhou and the others, as elders, will not interfere too much, otherwise these juniors will not have to go up to the sky with their tails cocked by their families!" ”

"Zhou Daoyou is kind-hearted and magnanimous, Yue admires him!"

The gray-clothed old man bowed to Zhou Chun with admiration on his face, and said words of praise in his mouth.

An old man like him, with such a change in demeanor and tone, he could naturally send and receive it from his heart a long time ago, and there would not be the slightest abnormality.

After touting Zhou Chun like this, seeing that Zhou Chun really had no intention of angering the Yue family, the old man in gray also took the initiative to leave with great interest.

As soon as the gray-clothed old man left, Zhou Chun quickly summoned the two clansmen who had violated the clan rules to the Zhongping Palace.

"Zhou Zhengxin, Zhou Xinli, are the two of you guilty?"

In the Zhongping Palace, Zhou Chun looked at the two Zhou family members with a cold face, and his tone was also extremely stern.

This made the two young clansmen of the Zhou family, who had always seen more of his approachable side, panic in their hearts, and their faces were full of surprise in an instant.

But the two are not frightened, how can they confess their guilt so easily.

Zhou Zhengxin, who was a little older, relied on the fact that he and Zhou Chunnai were the same generation, and his father was also a family monk, so he immediately had the courage to pretend to be stupid and said, "Why did the thirteenth brother say this? I don't know what the little brother did wrong to make the thirteenth brother so angry? ”

"Hmph, you dare to play stupid with me!"

Zhou Chun's face sank, and he immediately stared at him and shouted: "Then tell me, before the two of you went out on an adventure together, did you ever do anything with someone?" Have you ever injured anyone else? ”

Hearing this, Zhou Zhengxin and Zhou Xinli's faces turned pale, and they instantly understood the reason why Zhou Chun called them over.

I saw that the two of them immediately knelt on the ground with a "poof", and kowtowed again and again to beg for mercy: "The patriarch forgives the sin, the younger brother (nephew) knows that he is wrong, and asks the patriarch to forgive!" ”

"Forgive you, that's a light word!"

"The family rules of the Zhou family have been taught to you since you started to read and write, and if you don't memorize them like a stream, you can't graduate from the family school."

"Tell me, why do I and the elders have to set such a rule in the family academy?"

Zhou Chun looked at the two people on the ground with a gloomy face, and his words were full of anger.

Since he took over as the patriarch of the Zhou family, he has also put a lot of effort into educating the younger generations of the family.

He can't completely reverse the atmosphere of this world, but if he has the ability, he wants the younger monks of the Zhou family to be more decent and abide by the rules, and not to do those things that are traitorous and criminal.

Therefore, whether it is clan rules or ideological and moral education, he has implemented his own ideas in it.

But now, the behavior of Zhou Zhengxin and Zhou Xinli is undoubtedly against his expectations, which makes him not angry.

I saw him look at the two of them with angry eyes and shouted: "Today, I want to ask you, those clan rules that make you memorize like a stream, are they just a piece of waste paper in your eyes?" Do you still have clan rules in your eyes? Is there still the existence of me, the patriarch? ”

Zhou Chun, who was angry, released all the majestic momentum cultivated by the coercion of the monks in his foundation building period and his long-term high position.

Zhou Zhengxin and Zhou Xinli, who faced this coercion, although they had already knelt on the ground, were still unbearable, and they trembled and fell down in shock.

"Spare your life, patriarch spare your life, we don't dare anymore!"

The two begged for mercy again and again, and they were completely frightened.

Seeing the two of them like bears, Zhou Chun couldn't help shaking his head in his heart, and his anger subsided.

I saw that he immediately put away his momentum, and said in a deep voice: "Get up for me first, give me a detailed description of the things you are hiding, if I find out that you dare to hide half a word, you know the consequences!" ”

"Yes, yes, thank you Patriarch Kaien!"

While thanking each other, the two helped each other to stand up, and told Zhou Chun what had happened tremblingly.

Things are similar to what Zhou Chun knew and guessed before, Zhou Zhengxin and Zhou Xinli were in the middle of an adventure, and found a group of monks of the Yue family who were collecting medicine, and then a conflict broke out.

It's just that according to Zhou Zhengxin, they were not determined to get those elixirs, and they didn't think about snatching them.

But the group of monks of the Yue family had a preconceived idea that they wanted to snatch the elixir, and said a lot of ugly words, which finally angered the two of them completely, and released the spirit pet to fight with them.

Of course, this battle was won by Zhou Zhengxin and the others.

However, the two of them also knew that this kind of thing was not done in a glorious way, and they thought in their hearts that the Yue family was a small family, and the monks of the Yue family were "at fault first", so they would not dare to speak out afterwards.

So he decided that more was better than less, and deliberately concealed this matter.

To be honest, this kind of thinking of Zhou Zhengxin and the others is also human nature, and it is not a big mistake.

And there were no serious consequences for this.

But the rules of the clan are ruthless and do not change according to people's thoughts.

Breaking the rules of the clan is breaking the rules of the clan, and no matter how many reasons there are, it cannot be an excuse to avoid the punishment of the rules.

What's more, the reasons of Zhou Zhengxin and the others are not tenable at all.

The original intention of them to conceal it was to escape the punishment of the clan rules, and they were knowingly committing it!

According to the clan rules of the Zhou family, those who knowingly commit crimes should be punished severely.

After Zhou Chun understood the details of the matter at this time, he looked at the two of them with a heavy face and said: "Originally, according to the mistakes you have made, if you take the initiative to confess, the family will at most punish you for a year's benefits, and let you send some healing pills to apologize!" ”

"But you shouldn't, you shouldn't, you shouldn't be lucky, deliberately conceal this, deliberately violate the clan rules!"

Speaking of this, his eyes flashed with anger, and he couldn't help but raise his voice and said: "I remember that on the family rules manual in the family school, at the back of each family rule, there are relevant notes to explain, the purpose is to let the clan understand why there is such a rule. ”

"You know that this kind of concealment of enmity with others may cause disaster for the family, but you still knowingly commit it, this kind of behavior is really unforgivable!"

As he spoke, he waved his hand and stopped Zhou Zhengxin's move to defend himself.

He looked at him coldly and said, "You don't have to say anything, the clan rules are the clan rules, and they won't change because of the strength of the people you have enemies with!" ”

After speaking, the verdict began: "According to the family rules, those who deliberately conceal the enmity with others should suspend the payment of family benefits for more than five years and be banned for more than three years without causing a serious impact on the family!" ”

"In view of the bad attitude of the two of you, on the basis of suspending the family benefits for five years, this seat has also extended the grounding period to five years!"

After the verdict was pronounced like this, Zhou Chuncai waved his hand and said: "In the next five years, you will stay in the family mountain gate honestly for this seat, and you will not be allowed to order this seat, and you will not be allowed to step out of the family mountain gate for half a step!" ”

"Yes, the junior obeys!"

Zhou Zhengxin and Zhou Xinli glanced at each other, and they both bowed their heads with remorse and accepted the punishment.

Although the two are still young, this punishment is definitely enough for them to remember for the rest of their lives.

Even their future path may be more bumpy because of this punishment.

That's the price of breaking the rules!

There are no rules.

If a family's clan rules cannot be strictly enforced, it will not be enough to deter the clansmen.

And after Zhou Chun made the punishment of Zhou Zhengxin and Zhou Xinli, he also quickly ordered someone to post this punishment on the notice board outside the Zhongping Palace.

In this way, every member of the Zhou family who came to Zhongping Hall would see this punishment, which invisibly increased their awe of the clan rules in their hearts.

But just like this, it can't satisfy Zhou Chun.

Because he knows a truth deep down, when you find a cockroach in the house, there must be many cockroaches in the dark corners that you don't know.

Zhou Zhengxin and Zhou Xinli, the two descendants of the Zhou family, will be lucky and deliberately conceal the matter of going out to make enemies with others, will other Zhou family members do the same?

Now the Zhou family has an encouraging attitude towards the clansmen going out to adventure, and anyone who applies to go out on this ground, as long as the cultivation ability is not too bad, Zhou Chun will basically approve it.

And he has also increased the time that the Zhou family can go out in a year many times.

His original intention in doing this was to broaden the horizons and knowledge of the family cultivators, improve their personal abilities, and prevent them from being out of touch with the immortal cultivation world behind closed doors.

But he definitely didn't want his kindness to be abused by the family monks, so it would bring trouble to the family.

Therefore, after punishing Zhou Zhengxin and Zhou Xinli, Zhou Chun pondered for a long time and decided to increase the importance of this matter, convene the family elders to carry out a high-level family meeting, find a way to rectify the family style, and try to reduce the occurrence of similar things.

At the same time, it is also a good opportunity to sort out the current situation of the family and solicit the views of the elders on the future development of the family.
