Qin Wen couldn't help but be stunned, this was really a strange regulation, and the elders who implemented this regulation were also a bit outrageous, but Qin Wen knew that he still had to thank these elders, if it weren't for their efforts to overthrow the power of the head of the Zhou family, it was difficult to say whether he would be able to successfully capture the Zhou family's manor now.

Zhou Wei spoke again at this time: "Do you know what realm the previous head of the family was forced to in order to repair a defensive formation? He actually led people down to snatch the grain from the private field, and then sold it into the city of expulsion at a high price, and the spirit stones he earned made made up for the difference in price, he dared not touch the spirit stones in the treasury at all, and the way to subsidize and repay the money was even more ruthless than the usury of the casinos in the city. ”

"In this way, there are still a few elders who think that place is the periphery of the Zhou family's manor, even if it is captured by someone, it doesn't matter, but it can save a part of the dividends every year, it is really a mouse's eye, a manor has no peripheral defense, and one day it will break through to the core, this truth is ridiculous and no one thought of it. ”

Qin Wen looked at Zhou Wei, who was a little angry, and couldn't help but be silent, if it was according to what Zhou Wei said, even if the Zhou family manor was not captured by himself, it would fall apart in the near future, he was a little curious and said: "How to grab grain? With the strength of your family, it is still possible to go to the Expulsion City to attack a few smaller families, and the benefits there are much greater than going to private fields to grab grain." ”

Zhou Wei said with a wry smile: "Do you think that all the monks in this manor listen to the head of the family? Then you are wrong, now every elder has a part of the power under him, and the monks that the head of the family can use are only relatives and monks who are closer in blood, if they do not encounter a strong attack, the elders do not allow the head of the family to recruit monks, and the head of the family has no way." ”

Qin Wen couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Although the ancestor of the Zhou family who formulated the family rules could prevent the Zhou family from being destroyed in the hands of the head of the family alone, but the lack of a strong leader would also lead to the disintegration of the Zhou family in the future, so he thought for a while and said: "Didn't the head of the family who formulated the family rules think about it back then? These items are useless to put there, and every time they are taken away, they have to return half of them back." How can it develop after that?"

Zhou Hui said with some disdain: "Of course, the head of the family who formulated the family rules also thought of this, and he also had a condition, that is, according to the area ruled by the head of the family, as well as the number of monks, if the area ruled reached a city, then every year some proportion of spiritual objects could be taken out from it for normal use, this does not need to be returned, if your ruling area expands, then this proportion will also expand." This is also a rule that motivates the head of the family to expand his territory. ”

"But think about it, in this city of expulsion, it itself has only one city, how can there be any opportunity to expand the territory, the heads of the family here for generations want to move out, but every time there will be some elders who disagree with the decision to relocate, they can live a free life in the city of expulsion, so what does it matter about the prosperity and great cause of the family. ”

Hear here. Qin Wen couldn't help but smile bitterly, judging from the current situation. The head of the family who formulated this family rule back then really didn't expect that his family would one day be trapped in the city of expulsion, which made the last conditions for the head of the family also be stifled.

Zhou Hui's mood gradually calmed down after pouring out this, and he spoke: "Do you know what was the first thing I thought about after I learned about the discovery of the spar deposit in the swamp? Isn't it funny?"

"Once they know that there are spar deposits within the control of the manor, they will vote on the income dividends of the entire mine at the first time, and eventually these spars will be divided in this way, and there is no benefit to the entire Zhou family, just fattening these silverfish. ”

Qin Wen thought for a moment and asked, "Are those monks in the mine your own henchmen?" Don't the elders doubt it?"

Zhou Wei said coldly: "What do they suspect? They just come to me every year to ask for dividends, it is normal for me to send monks out of the country, after all, the whole family has to operate, how can they do it without spars? They also know this truth, as long as the annual dividends are given to them, they are too lazy to care about these things." ”

"Originally, I wanted to rely on the income of these spar deposits to attract more monks, and then slowly change the situation of the Zhou family, even if my generation can't make the Zhou family strong, I can also leave hope for my children and grandchildren to see the change, I didn't expect that the mineral deposits were still discovered by the Qin family master, these days, although I am a little unwilling in my heart, but it can be regarded as a complete relief. ”

After saying this, suddenly a strange smile appeared on Zhou Hui's cold face and said, "Sometimes, when something that is obviously beneficial to the family is vetoed by the elders, do you know how I feel?"

Seeing that Qin Wen was a little stunned, Zhou Wei said to himself: "I just thought that when I would go to hell, I could drag those old guys down together, and now that my wish has finally come true, from this matter, I am still quite satisfied with the result of the manor." ”

Qin Wen didn't expect that Zhou Hui's hatred for the elders would be so deep, but put himself in his shoes, if he was in this position, it was estimated that he would not be as good as Zhou Peng in handling these things, at this time he couldn't help but flash a thought in his heart, it seems that this Zhou Hui's control over the Zhou family is still relatively limited, and those elders should not know that there are spar deposits in the Dao, and it is not impossible to leave his life by himself.

Qin Wen slightly picked up the teacup and took a sip of the cold tea, and said in a deep voice, "Brother Zhou, if I let you live, what would you do?"

Zhou Wei was stunned for a moment, but immediately shook his head and said: "Will the Qin family master leave me with this old life?" Don't joke, I have figured it out now, I am the head of the Zhou family, and I am also the only monk in the core of the family who knows the existence of the Dao spar mine, you can't let me live, because this is too much of a threat to you." ”

Qin Wen also shook his head and said, "If it is logically speaking, I should indeed kill you, but after this conversation with you, it is not impossible to leave you now, whether it is your Zhou family's manor and monks, or the spar mine, it is just a tool on my cultivation path." ”

"What I'm thinking about now is how to cross the tribulation and ascend to immortals, even if I reach the upper realm, there will still be fights, vendettas, I want to live forever, you can think about it, those spiritual objects left in your treasury, can they still be used after the tribulation? ”

Zhou Peng hesitated for a moment and said, "You really don't plan to kill me?"

Qin Wen nodded and said: "Now I have this idea, in the cultivation world, my own ability alone is very limited, even if I cross the tribulation and ascend to immortal in the future, when I go to another cultivation world, I am just a small reptile in the eyes of high-level monks, so I have to strengthen my power now, and strive to bring more monks to cross the tribulation and enter the immortal path." ”

"What was your previous idea? is to get rid of the control of the elders and lead the entire Zhou family to reach the previous peak level again, that is just to be a secular emperor, this is the lowest level of the cultivation world, don't you want to have a longer lifespan, go to the top to see the broader world of cultivation immortals?"

Zhou Wei was stunned by the scene depicted by Qin Wenduo, every cultivator had imagined the highest state he could reach in the future when he first debuted, but with all kinds of things encountered in his practice, he more or less revised his goals, listening to Qin Wen's words, thinking about what he had done over the years, Zhou Wei couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.

After hesitating for a long time, Zhou Wei raised his head and said: "Qin family master, if you really don't kill me, I will make talismans with peace of mind in the future, for the Zhou family manor over the years, I have also wasted a lot of time for self-cultivation, think about the Zhou family If the Zhou family continues to develop like this, even if it does not fall into the hands of the Qin family master today, it will inevitably not be replaced by other families, and if I really reach the top of the immortal in the future, it is also very easy to re-establish a new Zhou family dynasty." ”

"However, isn't the Qin family master afraid that what I am talking about now will be disadvantageous to the family master in the future?"

Qin Wen nodded slightly and said: "Of course I can't believe you now, but if you have this kind of thought, I can leave you alive, and I also have conditions for letting you come out, like you are a spirit level monk, I will specially refine an elixir for you, this is a magic potion called 'appendage', as long as you take this elixir, I can make you lose your life at any time, even a saint-level monk can't eliminate the poison." ”

"And after taking the elixir, I will find you a place to retreat, you can't come out at any time without my permission, once I find any abnormal movement in you, I will kill you at any time, but this is also a time limit, as long as I finish digging up the hedron deposits, then you will be free. ”

Zhou Wei heard Qin Wen's conditions, although they were a little harsh, but this also just showed that Qin Wen really wanted him to live, so he nodded and said, "I am willing to do this, but I still have one more thing I want to ask the head of the family to agree." ”

Qin Wen bowed his head slightly, "What are you talking about?"

Zhou Wei hesitated for a moment and said: "My lineage is a little thin, and now I only have two sons, both of whom are at the middle level of the Xuanshi, and they don't know about the Dao spar deposits and the spiritual objects in the warehouse, I want to ask the head of the family to take care of them a little, and don't let them be in danger for the time being."
