Chapter 38 The Secrets of the Zhang Family
"Your Excellency, you're back. I saw a plainly dressed woman come out at the sound of the voice.
"Forget it, don't go in, after I leave tomorrow, you can move in by yourself!" Shen Yuan saw the woman coming, so he hurriedly turned around and left, as if he was very reluctant to see this person.
Liu Yu reluctantly followed, and he rushed to Tianping County for several days, and his body was a little tired. But this Senior Brother Shen was in a hurry to get out, and was busy explaining things, pulling himself around, and never rested for a moment.
"The old woman just now is the one who takes care of the food. People are quite honest, if you want to eat something, you can give her the silver taels and let her go to Zhang Luo. Shen Yuan, who was walking in front, said suddenly.
"Oh, where are we going now, Senior Brother?" Liu Yu replied, feeling a little dissatisfied with this Senior Brother Shen.
"Yannan City has jurisdiction over nine counties, do you know why only Tianping County is stationed by sect disciples? The Heavenly Masters of the other eight counties are all those useless loose cultivators. Shen Yuan asked slowly.
"Senior brother, why is this?" Liu Yu really didn't think about this question and asked, secretly wondering if there was anything hidden in his heart.
"The place we are going to now is the Zhang family, the richest family in Tianping County. Shen Yuan said mysteriously. Then I slowly explained the reason.
It turned out that the Zhang family in Tianping County was a family of cultivating immortals, and it used to be a big family, and there were also several immortal cultivators in the foundation building period, which was an old family of more than 2,000 years, but now it has been defeated.
Three hundred years ago, the Zhang family was getting weaker and weaker, and there were fewer and fewer immortal cultivators in the clan, and the cultivation was not high. In the past, the ancestors left magic weapons and exercises, which inevitably aroused the covetousness of some outlaws, and the family had no strength to protect. With the inexplicable murder of immortal cultivators in the family several times, the head of the Zhang family of that generation dedicated a large number of magic weapons, exercises, and pills to Huang Shengzong in exchange for Huang Shengzong's protection and commitment.
At that time, Huang Shengzong issued a decree in the world of cultivating immortals: the Zhang family in Tianping County was blessed by Huang Shengzong, and if anyone hurt the Zhang family for no reason, it would be regarded as an enemy of Huang Shengzong. As long as Huang Shengzong exists for one day, this decree will take effect for one day.
Huang Shengzong's private promise to the Zhang family was that if the qualifications of the descendants of the Zhang family reached the standard of Huang Shengzong's acceptance of disciples, Huang Shengzong would be given priority to be admitted to the sect and carefully taught. And every 100 years, a descendant of the Zhang family can be sent to Huangsheng Mountain to practice, and the qualification for cultivating immortals is not limited, which is an exception to accept apprentices.
Nowadays, the Zhang family is not as good as the next generation, and the family situation is getting smaller and smaller. The person with the highest cultivation in the Zhang family is named Zhang Zhenguang. Fire, earth, and gold are three miscellaneous spirit roots, and their qualifications are very ordinary, and they were accepted as disciples by Huang Shengzong as an exception. Now practicing the cultivation of the eighth layer of qi, he is practicing in Huangsheng Mountain.
In addition, the Zhang family also has six immortal cultivators, whose qualifications are too poor, either the five-line miscellaneous spirit root or the four-line miscellaneous spirit root. Each cultivation is low, and the highest is the patriarch of the family, and only then can he practice the five-level cultivation of qi. Shen Yuan told Liu Yu that part of the reason why the sect sent disciples to garrison here was to better protect the Zhang family.
Part of the reason is to monitor the Zhang family, it turns out that the Zhang family is in the middle of the road, but there is still a piece of spiritual field in hand. This spiritual field is of excellent quality, and after 1,200 years of careful care, it has become a qualified second-grade medium spiritual field, which can grow a lot of rare elixirs.
The Zhang family planted the second-grade elixir "Yin Spirit Flower" on this spiritual field, "Yin Spirit Flower" has special growth conditions, and can only grow in the place where Yin Qi and the Five Elements Spiritual Qi coexist, and the flowers bloom in 20 years, and the flowers are grouped by six petals, each petal has a different color, divided into red, gold, white, green, yellow, and black six colors, which are very charming.
The mature Yin Spirit Flower is the main medicine for refining the third-grade inferior elixir "Jade Spirit Pill", which is priceless. "Jade Spirit Pill" is an elixir used by immortal cultivators in the foundation building period to practice, and a small bottle of "Jade Spirit Pill" requires at least 1,200 low-grade spirit stones in the pharmacy, which shows the preciousness of the "Yin Spirit Flower".
This second-grade spiritual field was originally owned by the Zhang family, and it had nothing to do with Huang Shengzong. However, because the strength of the Zhang family is too weak, after the Yin Spirit Flower matures, there will be cultivators with advanced cultivation to snatch it. These people were afraid of Huang Shengzong's promise, and they didn't hurt people when they came, so they grabbed the mature Yin Spirit Flower and ran away. The Zhang family couldn't keep the fruits of their labor.
can only reach an agreement with Huang Shengzong, and fifty percent of the Yin Spirit Flowers produced by Lingtian will be dedicated to Huang Shengzong, in exchange for Huang Shengzong's every time the Yin Spirit Flower matures, he will send monks with high mana to guard Lingtian until the Zhang family has the ability to protect it themselves.
Every twenty years, as soon as the Yin Spirit Flower matures, Huang Shengzong will send several Immortal Cultivators in the Foundation Building Period to guard this second-grade spirit field and collect fifty percent of the mature Yin Spirit Flower.
A few years later, the Yin Spirit Flower in Zhang's Lingtian will mature again. Liu Yu's task is to monitor the Zhang family, don't make some small moves, watch this second-grade spiritual field, and don't make any trouble.
"Senior brother, if you find any changes in the Zhang family, just send someone to send news to Yannan City, and the master will deal with it. Shen Yuan said in a low voice.
From the perspective of the top level of Huang Shengzong, the Zhang family is under the jurisdiction of Huang Shengzong's forces, unless the Zhang family itself really has the ability to protect this spiritual field, otherwise this fifty percent of the Yin Spirit Flower, Huang Shengzong will be decided, and he will not tolerate any other forces.
"Senior brother, I know. Liu Yu didn't expect to have such a hidden situation, it seems that in this Tianping County, as a heavenly master, he really can't be sloppy.
The two of them soon arrived at Zhang's house, the Zhang's courtyard is very magnificent, several courtyards are connected together, high-rise pavilions, magnificent. In Zhang's house, I only saw a middle-aged steward named Zhang Zhenqi, who was a cultivator of the third level of Qi cultivation. I heard him say that the patriarch of the Zhang family was not in the mansion, so he went to Lingwu Villa.
Shen Yuan took Liu Yu to get up and say goodbye, and Zhang Zhenqi tried his best to keep the two of them and stayed at Zhang's house for a few days. He sent someone to invite the patriarch back, but Shen Yuan took Liu Yu out of the Zhang family's compound on the grounds that he had something important.
"Senior Brother Liu, this Lingwu Mountain Villa is on the Lingwu Mountain outside the city, and the scenery is good, but it is too remote. That spiritual field is in the villa, and now that you have also been in contact with the Zhang family, go and see for yourself then. Shen Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and said, after explaining the most important things clearly, he would be able to go back to Yannan City tomorrow.
"Lingwu Villa?" Liu Yu said to himself, thinking that when he had time, he would definitely pay a good visit.
Then the two went to several medical centers on the street and returned to the county office. Liu Yu rested in the room arranged by Lin Xianling, Shen Yuan chatted with Lin Xianling for a while, and then hurriedly went out again, as if there was something important.
Lin Zihe's family of three sat in Lin Hongyu's boudoir, Lin Zihe leaned on the wooden chair, his eyes rolling wildly and he didn't know what he was thinking. Mother and daughter sat on the edge of the bed, talking.
"Dad, Liu Gongzi really just came to take office? Lin Hongyu asked a little unwillingly.
