The death of Zhang Liang, the only formation master of the Zhou family, did cause a lot of waves within the family.

The main reason is that he only completed the arrangement of the forbidden large array at the level of the [Tianyi Green Dragon Array] a few years ago, and he was in the limelight in the entire group of array mages in the Yasukuni Immortal Cultivation Realm, and he was also admired by many Zhou family monks.

At the same time, he is also the first person to obtain the status of an elder as a cultivator and a formation master in the Purple Mansion period after the new policy of the Zhou family, and he is also a relative.

These two things in themselves are enough to make him attract attention in the family.

And when Zhou Mingde personally announced the decision to ensure that his descendants would have Tsukidan for ten generations at the funeral ceremony to commemorate him, it directly pushed his prestige to a new height.

This decision shocked many monks of the Zhou family, but also shocked foreign monks such as Xu Fu.

Before this, none of their relatives dared to believe that the Zhou family would make such a promise because of a certain relative monk!

Because of some well-known reasons in the circle of relatives of the Zhou family, although the Zhou family usually seems to treat these relatives and monks equally, there is no disadvantage.

However, in the competition for some important strategic resources, these monks of their relatives are a grade worse than the monks of the Zhou family.

Generally, unless they are really very qualified, or have made outstanding contributions, they basically don't want to change to the important resources of Zhuji Dan and assisting in the development of Purple Mansion spiritual objects.

Spiritual objects such as [Zhuyuan Fruit] that are useful for foundation building are the best foundation building resources that the vast majority of foreign relatives monks can enjoy.

Of course, even if this is the case, it is better than them in the small family and when they are scattered cultivators.

So before that, these relatives' feelings for the Zhou family were also very complicated.

They were grateful and motivated by the generous treatment and various opportunities provided by the Zhou family.

But he was dissatisfied and regretful that he couldn't really enjoy the best resources of the Zhou family.

Under the influence of this complex feeling, these relatives formed two groups.

Some people feel that they can't get the same treatment as the Zhou family anyway, so they simply lie flat, in addition to fulfilling some obligations that the Zhou family and relatives must do, they usually concentrate on enjoying it, and invite some friends to go to the restaurant from time to time to order a table of spiritual food, eat and drink, or go to those Colosseum to gamble and have fun.

Others are unwilling to sink, and have been trying to improve themselves with the help of the platform of the Zhou family, hoping to fight for their heads.

The former kind of people don't say much, and they can't judge their good or bad, after all, they just don't want to struggle, and they don't fail to fulfill their duties and obligations.

The latter kind of person is not necessarily a good thing for the Zhou family.

After all, once these people really come out, they are likely to vent their inner dissatisfaction in some way one day in the future, forming a great potential hidden danger in the Zhou family.

Although even if they do this, they may not be able to cause particularly big losses to the Zhou family, but it is always unfavorable to the family.

Because of this, Zhou Mingde, Zhou Xinyan and others, who were really in control of the family, actually didn't dare to really give these people too many opportunities before, worried that they would raise white-eyed wolves in the future!

They chose to do so, and it cannot be said that they did it wrong.

After all, the Zhou family has always been the Zhou family of the Zhou family, and if you insist on giving the Zhou family's own monks and relatives a treatment, it will be digging up your own roots, and it will only shake your own really biggest foundation.

No Immortal Cultivator would do that.

On the other hand, those disgruntled monks cannot be said to be ungrateful to them.

After all, they obtained resources in the Zhou family, and they really paid their own sweat and blood, but in the case of paying more blood and sweat, they still couldn't get the same treatment as the monks of the Zhou family, how could these capable people be convinced!

Fortunately, the Zhou family still had a cultivated elder like Xu Fu as a golden signboard, and he could also appease those capable relatives and monks, so that they could see some hope, so as not to completely intensify the contradictions.

But if there is no better incentive method and a better way to resolve it, when these foreign relatives and monks are stuck in the late stage of foundation building or the late stage of the Purple Mansion for a long time, they find that it is actually impossible to go further, and they find that the struggle of their lives can only end here, and they can no longer get any rewards from the Zhou family.

It's hard to say what these people will do!

In this case, Zhang Liang, who was a role model among the monks of the Zhou family, and after his death, the funeral ceremony was arranged in accordance with the standard of the Jindan elders of the Zhou family, and he was guaranteed by the ancestor of the Zhou family himself.

This move undoubtedly greatly shocked those relatives and monks, and let them also see another way to repay their efforts without making their efforts in vain!

Indeed, due to the scarcity of special resources, the Zhou family may never be able to give these relatives monks the same treatment as their own monks.

This is a fact that they do not want to accept and must exist.

Unless they can overthrow the Zhou family, this fact cannot be changed!

Then, in the case that they certainly cannot change this fact, they may choose to accept the reality and work in another direction.

As relatives and monks, they basically have descendants, and those descendants all have the blood of the Zhou family, and they are basically surnamed Zhou, and they are the monks of the Zhou family who are on the Zhou family tree.

As the monks of the Zhou family, these descendants will be treated according to the monks of the Zhou family in the future, and there is no shackle called "surname" on them.

In this way, what they cannot achieve on their own may be allowed to be completed by their children and grandchildren.

Maybe in a few years, their children and grandchildren can also become the elders of the Zhou family and form their own force in the Zhou family!

If you can win the wealth of the third generation for future generations with your own strength, it is also an excellent thing!

This may be a choice out of desperation, but it is also a relatively acceptable choice.

After all, if you can't fight some people, then fight for future generations, which can be regarded as the idea that the human race has been rooted in the blood since ancient times.

"It was a bonus."

When Zhou Daoyi informed Zhou Chun of what he found in his investigation, he also made a judgment on it with a slight bow.

Hearing his judgment, Zhou Daoyi also nodded again and again: "It is indeed an unexpected joy, and since there is a Zhang Liang, maybe we should also give up some past prejudices and give more monks like Zhang Liang who know how to be grateful and have real skills a chance." ”

"Anyway, now that you are in charge of the family, even if there are really a few more monks with the surname Jindan in the family, there is no need to be afraid that they will turn the sky upside down!"

Such words, coming out of his mouth, couldn't help but make Zhou Chun quite sideways.

For a long time, the people in the Zhou family who are the most defensive about their relatives are Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi.

Now even he is relieved, it can be seen that Zhang Liang's words before his death still had the effect of a fierce medicine, and really reversed and changed some of their stereotypes.

"Could it be that this is also Zhang Liang's intention?"

Zhou Chun's eyes flashed slightly, and he couldn't help but think a little too much.

However, he soon didn't think about how likely this was, because it was impossible for him to go to Zhang Liang to testify.

Now we just need to be happy about Zhou Daoyi's change in their mindset.

At that moment, he said with emotion: "Uncle, you can think like this, the younger generation is also very happy, the sea is inclusive, there is tolerance, our Zhou family should now break the old evils, reshape the new sky, so that the Zhou family can not only become the Zhou family of the Zhou family, but also the Zhou family of all those who work for the Zhou family!" ”

"Zhengchun's words, I will keep them firmly in mind, I hope this time I won't trust anyone else!"

Zhou Daoyi nodded lightly, and his words were also full of emotion.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun knew that he might still need some positive feedback to truly resolve the previous knot, and he silently wrote down the matter at the moment.

After the concept changed slightly, when Zhou Daoyi was managing the family, his attitude towards some outstanding people among the relatives and monks soon changed, and he also conveyed the changes of the upper echelons of the family to the entire group of relatives through these people.

Suddenly, this news was also hotly discussed in the group of relatives, which caused many conjectures.

However, those ordinary monks of the Zhou family did not have any opinion on this.

The Zhou family is now in a period of rapid rise, and as long as the family monks are willing to work hard and have talent, all kinds of resources can be exchanged from the family.

Even if the upper echelons of the family allocate some resources to the monks of their relatives, they will not squeeze out their share, and of course they will not be evildoers.

After all, the other half of the relatives are all brothers and sisters of the same clan, and those people must be happy that their Taoist companions have a better life in the family.

And some of the core clansmen and elders of the Zhou family who can take a long-term view are because they know that this kind of major event must be approved by the patriarch, even if they have some thoughts in their hearts, they will not show it for the time being.

All in all, for those monks who are now working for the Zhou family, this is the best time!

There are two fifth-order existences of Chunjun Zhenren and Silver Dragon Jun sitting on it, and the family treasure house is piled up with all kinds of visible rare spiritual resources, as long as you work hard to cultivate and do tasks to obtain good deeds, it is relatively easy to exchange the things you need from the family.

This kind of good treatment is something that those small and medium-sized cultivators and casual cultivators can't envy in their dreams.

……

Yunzhou, Shenyue Lake.

The land of Yunzhou has a dense water network, many rivers and lakes, and Shenyue Lake is not particularly famous among the many lakes.

The area of this lake is not large, only one or two hundred miles of water, but the depth of the lake is extremely deep, and the deepest part can even reach a thousand zhang!

After the entire territory of Yunzhou was occupied by demon beasts and turned into a demon domain, this Shenyue Lake also became the habitat of some demon beast populations from Long Yuanze.

There are now three species of demon beasts inhabiting Shenyue Lake, namely the blue-eyed black toad, the Moyun crocodile, and the black head Jiao.

Among them, the Wushou Jiao clan has a relatively strong dragon bloodline, and the offspring can be promoted to the second order when they reach adulthood, and there is a lower chance of turning into ink Jiao when they break through the third order.

Therefore, this clan has also become the boss of Shenyue Lake, occupying the underwater spiritual veins in the center of the lake, and among them is the third-order Wushou Jiao that has failed to transform into a dragon.

And the blue-eyed black toad and the Moyun crocodile clan actually have a little bit of Mojiao blood, so they can live next to the three black Jiao in this Shenyue Lake, although there are no third-order demon beasts in the clan, they also have some second-order demon beasts.

Of course, the huge Shenyue Lake, as well as the surrounding vast land, must not only have these three demon beasts, but the other demon beasts are difficult to form a large group, and can only occupy a little place as a nest sporadically, relying on the three clans to survive.

That night, on the east shore of Shenyue Lake, on the shallow beach where the river and the lake meet, several Terran monks cautiously lurked in a forest on the shore, all staring at the water and grass beach a hundred feet away.

I saw that as the full moon rose and the time came to the middle of the night, on the shallow beach under the soft moonlight, two huge black shadows gradually surfaced and squeezed into the grassy beach less than half a foot deep.

With the help of the moonlight, several Terran monks in the woods could easily see the full picture of the two huge black shadows.

They are two black heads with a body length of more than seven zhang!

The appearance of the black head is very ugly, their heads look like black snakeheads, their mouths are full of sharp teeth, but their bodies are as narrow and long as dragons, covered with black dragon scales, and there is an indescribable stench on their bodies.

This kind of monster usually likes to rest at the bottom of a deep lake, and basically does not come to the shallow water area near the lake, except in one case.

That's when it's time to lay eggs after mating!

The blackhead Jiao may indeed have snakehead blood, and they can lay hundreds or thousands of eggs at a time!

But these eggs can't all become aconitum jiao.

Normally, the eggs laid by the black head Jiao will hatch quickly, and then the hatched small fish will start killing each other, devouring each other's siblings, until there is a single digit left among them, and then the parents will separate them and stop this cannibalism.

The reason why the spawning period of the spawning period of the aconitum Jiao has to come to the shallow water area is also to avoid being harmed by other kinds.

Because Wushou Jiao will kill each other from birth, the relationship between the same clan of this clan is not very good.

If other aconitum spawns are found to be spawning nearby, they are likely to be awakened to their newborn bloodline instinct and devour the small fish after smelling the smell.

Therefore, when laying eggs, they will try to avoid the deep water areas where their fellow tribes live, and come to safer shallow water areas to lay eggs.

This grassy beach is the place where the two blackheads have been selected many times, and before that, they have come here many times to inspect, and have driven and hunted all the demon beasts in the surrounding twenty or thirty miles of water.

Even on the shore, they were checked.

In this case, after the two aconitum entered the grass beach, the male black head Jiao immediately rolled in the grass beach, flattening the aquatic plants with his body, and creating a temporary nest suitable for laying eggs.

Then the female Wushou Jiao enters the temporary nest and lays eggs.

During the period when the female shoushou jiao lays eggs, the male aconitum is standing on the sidelines to guard and guard.

In just a quarter of an hour or two, the female has laid thousands of eggs the size of broad beans.

The eggs are translucent, and a black embryo the size of a tadpole can be seen inside.

Under the light of the moon, the embryos inside these eggs seemed to have some kind of chemical reaction, and they grew up little by little.

Just over an hour later, the first Aconitum seedling swam in the water with its tail wagging.

And it had only swam for more than a dozen breaths before it suddenly attacked another seedling next to it that had not yet fully grown.

This scene was watched by the two adult blackheads, but they didn't have any intention of stopping it, they just watched indifferently.

Time passed slowly, and the seedlings hatched from thousands of fish eggs were rapidly attrition in the fierce battle.

By the time dawn approached, the number of seedlings in the water had dropped to single digits.

At this time, several seedlings were already five or six pounds in weight.

At this time, the two adult blackheads who had been watching for half the night made their own moves, stirring the water to separate the red-eyed cubs.

At the same time, as soon as the female opened her mouth and spat out, a stream of black ink-like liquid spat out of her mouth, and poured into several parts towards the separated cubs.

After being encased in this black ink-like liquid for a while, the cubs quickly calmed down, and they no longer wanted to attack their siblings as frantically as before.

At this point, the egg-laying process of the two Aconitum Jiao is complete, and they can return to their nest in the depths of Shenyue Lake with their cubs, and slowly raise these cubs to grow up.

But just as they were about to leave, several magic weapons and spells suddenly flew out of the woods on the shore and gathered fire towards them.

This time, the two black-headed Jiao could be said to be caught off guard, and because they wanted to protect those cubs, they could only hiss and prop up an inky aura to resist those attacks.

However, when they finally managed to resist those attacks with injuries, they saw several human monks with several second-order demon beasts like them to kill them.

After a fierce battle, the two black heads were finally killed on the spot without exception.

And the cubs that they had just given birth to for less than a day were also captured alive by several human monks with a fishing net magic weapon.

"The movement just now is not small, it is bound to alarm the nearby demon beasts, let's take the corpse and retreat first, and leave the vicinity of Shenyue Lake first!"

Among the several human monks, a tall black-clothed nun seemed to be the leader, and she quickly gave instructions in a low voice.

Then the group of four put all the spirit pets into the spirit beast bag, and then rolled up the corpses of the two black shou jiao into the storage bag, and quickly took those black shou jiao cubs and left the lake.

Soon after, the four of them reunited in a cave hundreds of miles away from Shenyue Lake and began to distribute the spoils.

I saw that in the cave, the black-clothed female cultivator swept her eyes at the other two men and one woman and three companions, and said slowly: "Let's talk about the harvest this time first, there are two corpses of the Wushou Jiao, both of which are second-order middle-grade demon beasts, and there are also six Wushou Jiao cubs. ”

Speaking of this, she paused slightly, and then continued: "I found the place where the two Wushou Jiao spawned, for which I have been squatting around Shenyue Lake for two years, and the male Wushou Jiao was also killed by my own hands, and our team is also composed of my own strength, so I alone occupy fifty percent of the harvest, do you have any opinions?" ”

Hearing her words, the other three suddenly changed their faces, but they all seemed to have some scruples, and no one was willing to refute them.

After being silent like this for a while, another green-clothed female cultivator spoke: "Sister Wang, your credit is great, of course we don't deny it, but you alone have half of the harvest, is it a bit too much?" We sacrificed more than two months of cultivation time for this hunting mission! ”

The green-clothed nun said, and also gestured to the man in green beside her.

But to her disappointment, the man in Tsing Yi remained silent as if he hadn't seen her signal.

As for the other man in black, she didn't look at it at all, the other party was a Taoist monk of a female cultivator in black, and it was impossible for her to help her speak.

Seeing this situation, she couldn't help but be a little anxious and urged directly to the man in Tsing Yi: "Brother Yuanxin, you have something to say." ”

I didn't think that Zhou Yuanxin, the man in Tsing Yi, didn't pay attention to her, but looked at the black-clothed nun and said: "The family has long had a rule that the clan has cultivated a new population of valuable demon beasts for the family, which can be used as an outstanding contribution to obtain some rare resources, Sister Wang, do you want to use these Wushou Jiao cubs to exchange for the family to assist in opening up the Purple Mansion spiritual objects?" ”

Hearing this, the black-clothed nun couldn't help but look at him deeply and said, "Yuanxin, you are a smart person, I never thought that I could hide this matter from you, I really planned to do so." ”

Seeing this, Zhou Yuanxin immediately nodded and said: "That's not as good as this, the six Wushou Jiao cubs, I and the Yuanqin clan sisters can do without it, but the two Wushou Jiao corpses will belong to the two of us, Sister Wang, what do you think?" ”

"This ......"

The black-clothed nun's face changed slightly, and she couldn't help but hesitate, and her eyes quietly looked at the Taoist companion on the side.

Seeing this, the man in black quickly said in a deep voice: "It's done according to what Brother Yuanxin said, Madam, your matter of opening up the Purple Mansion is more important!" ”

Hearing this, Zhou Yuanxin immediately looked at the green-clothed nun and asked, "Sister Yuanqin, do you have any opinions on this distribution method?" ”

"No, Brother Yuanxin, I'm very satisfied with your distribution method."

The green-clothed nun had a smile on her face, changed her previous anxiety, and agreed with her mouth.

The corpse of a second-order mid-grade demon beast, or the corpse of a black head Jiao with a good dragon bloodline, was undoubtedly a great gain for her who was still cultivating in the early stage of foundation building.

Seeing the green-clothed nun in this way, she had no opinion, and the black-clothed nun bowed to Zhou Yuanxin and said, "In this way, thank you Yuanxin clan brother for your success, I wish your thunder lizard beast can be successfully promoted to a second-order middle-grade demon beast with the help of the corpse of Wushou Jiao!" ”

"Little brother also wishes Sister Wang that you can make your wishes come true and succeed in exchanging for assisting in opening up the Purple Mansion Spiritual Object!"

Zhou Yuanxin smiled knowingly and returned the salute with a smile.

After reaching a distribution agreement in this way, the four of them took a short rest, and then left Yunzhou together and returned to the Qinglian Mountain Range.

When they returned to Qinglian Peak, the black-clothed nun and his wife went to meet Zhou Daoyi, who was in charge of clan affairs, and offered the Wushou Jiao cub.

Zhou Yuanxin and Zhou Yuanqin went to Zhou Yuanxin's residence.

"Sister Yuanqin, thanks to your cooperation this time, otherwise it would be really troublesome to get the corpses of the two Wushou Jiao."

In the room, when there were only two people left, Zhou Yuanxin also smiled and took the storage bag containing another Wushoujiao's corpse from Zhou Yuanqin's hand and expressed his gratitude to him.

At this time, Zhou Yuanqin changed his previous frizziness, and said with a smile on his face: "Brother Yuanxin is polite, it's just a trivial matter." ”

After speaking, he looked at Zhou Yuanxin with an expectant look on his face and said, "Brother Yuanxin, you really didn't lie to me before?" Is your colorful pheasant really about to lay eggs? ”

"Of course it's true, how dare I talk nonsense about such a big thing!"

Zhou Yuanxin's face was solemn, and he replied with a straight face.

After receiving his affirmative answer, Zhou Yuanqin's heart was immediately put back in his stomach, and then congratulated him from the bottom of his heart: "Then the little sister will congratulate the clan brother in advance, and when the time comes, the clan brother should not forget to agree to the little sister's agreement!" ”

"Don't worry, I will definitely leave you a colorful phoenix-tailed pheasant egg when the time comes."

Zhou Yuanxin smiled lightly and made a promise with a smile.

After the two chatted for a while, before Zhou Yuanqin left, Zhou Yuanxin couldn't help but admonish this clan sister Chunchun: "Sister Wang, although she is a foreign surname, but after all, she is a high-grade spiritual root qualification, and she is capable of doing things, which is quite appreciated by Elder Xu. ”

When Zhou Yuanqin heard this, he couldn't help but change his face slightly, and then said with a faint smile: "Little sister understands, if she really succeeds in opening up the Purple Mansion, little sister will naturally be willing to bow down and be small when she sees her in the future." ”

This is obviously still a little unconvinced.

But Zhou Yuanxin could only stop at the point, and he couldn't say more, so he could only shake his head slightly and watch her leave.

Then he returned to his residence and looked at the two storage bags containing the body of Wushou Jiao on the table, and his eyes couldn't help but show a fiery color.

"With the corpses of the two Wushou Jiao as a tonic, there should be no problem with the advanced level of the Thunder Lizard Beast, so with the two spirit pets of the second-order mid-grade multicolored phoenix-tailed pheasant and the second-order mid-grade Thunder Lizard Beast, after my cultivation has also broken through to the late stage of foundation building, it should be easy to apply for the exchange qualification of [Purple Dust Pill]."

At the same time, in Zhou Chun's cave mansion, he had just received the information from the real person of Tianjing, and his face suddenly became solemn.

"Is it finally going to begin?"

Zhou Chun muttered to himself, and his eyes also showed anticipation.
