Chapter Seventy-Eight: A Clear Conscience (Part II)

After getting Zhou Yang's promise to accept the "Asking the Heart" to ask his mind, the ancestor of the Chen family did not embarrass him anymore, but just took him and Zhou Xuanhao's father and son with him, and continued to go to the "Thousand Machines Cave Heaven" to investigate clues under his guidance.

However, at this time, more than a day has passed since Zhou Yang and their attack on the "Thousand Machines Cave Heaven", and those sand bandits have long since fled without a trace, even if the Chen family's ancestor cultivation is extremely high, he will not be able to find any useful clues in this situation.

In the end, the ancestor of the Chen family, who had found nothing, could only take Zhou Yang's father and son back to his home and return to the Baisha River Oasis.

When Zhou Yang's father and son returned to the Baisha River Oasis under the escort of the ancestor of the Chen family, Zhou Minghan, the old patriarch of the Zhou family, who had set off from the Yuquan Lake Oasis since receiving the flying sword message, also rushed here all the way, and saw Zhang Yunpeng, the elder of the Huangshamen who helped the Chen family on the white hump.

On the white hump, after the returning ancestor of the Chen family saw Zhang Yunpeng and Zhou Minghan together, he was slightly stunned at first, then nodded, looked at the two of them with a serious face and said: "It just so happens that Zhang Daoyou and Minghan are both here, and today you will come to witness the old man to Zhou Yang, a descendant of the Zhou family, to interrogate me about the murder of Chen Pingzhi, a monk of the Chen family." ”

"What?

Zhou Minghan's face changed, and he looked at Zhou Yang's father and son with a worried face.

He had just come to the Baisha River Oasis, but he only knew that Chen Pingzhi had fallen, and he didn't know anything about the specific situation.

Now that he heard that the ancestor of the Chen family was going to use the "Mind Questioning Technique" to interrogate Zhou Yang, he had a preconceived idea, of course, he thought that Zhou Yang had done something dishonorable in the fall of Chen Pingzhi.

Seeing this, Zhou Yang couldn't help but comfort: "Great-grandfather doesn't have to worry, his grandson is doing right, sitting upright, and asking himself is worthy of his heart, if Senior Chen wants to ask, then let him ask!"

After speaking, he looked at the two Purple Mansion monks, the ancestor of the Chen family and Zhang Yunpeng, and said with a straight face: "Senior Chen wants to use [Asking Hearts] to interrogate the murder of Pingzhi's predecessor to the junior, and the juniors can naturally know everything, but if the juniors ask the juniors about something that has nothing to do with this, don't blame the juniors for not cooperating!"

When the ancestor of the Chen family heard his soft and prickly words, his face couldn't help but sink, and he snorted coldly with displeasure on his face: "Hmph, who do you think the old man is?" You can rest assured, in addition to asking you about the murder of Pingzhi, if the old man asks one more irrelevant question, he will give you a Zhuji Dan from the Zhou family, and Zhang Daoyou can witness this for the old man!"

Zhang Yunpeng heard the ancestor of the Chen family mention himself, and at this time he had to stand up, and said with a smile: "Hehehe, why should Brother Chen bother with a junior, you can rest assured, Zhang also had an intersection with Senior Brother Yuquan back then, and I will testify for you today, if Brother Chen really uses this matter to ask about your personal privacy, Zhang should immediately lift the spell for you." ”

"Then the junior thanked Senior Zhang first. ”

Zhou Yang saluted Zhang Yunpeng, then closed his eyes, and said in a firm voice: "Senior Chen can cast a spell." ”

The ancestor of the Chen family naturally wouldn't be polite at this time, and after hearing this, he immediately started to do the Fa without saying a word.

The "Asking the Heart Technique" is only a third-order low-grade spell, which can be learned by a monk in the foundation building period.

Once this spell is cast, it can have the effect of interrogating the soul of the monks below the foundation building period, and once the monk in the Qi training period has won the "heart questioning technique", the caster will answer whatever he asks, and he cannot lie at all, and he will not have any memory of this experience afterwards.

However, after the monks in the foundation building period experienced the "Divine Consciousness Pass" in the foundation building process, their state of mind cultivation was improved and their divine consciousness was enhanced, and this "Asking the Mind Technique" had no effect on them.

But whether spells are useful or not is not only related to the level of the spell, but also related to the cultivation of the caster.

If the Yuan Infant Stage is able to cast a second-order spell, can that power be the same as the second-order spell cast by a Qi cultivation stage cultivator?

Using the cultivation of the Chen family's ancestor Zifu in the later period to perform the "Asking the Heart Technique", as long as Zhou Yang did not deliberately resist in advance, it could also be effective against him.

When it was, I saw two beams of white light burst out from the eyes of the ancestor of the Chen family, directly shining on Zhou Yang's closed eyes.

Illuminated by this white light, Zhou Yang's body shook slightly, and his eyes opened automatically.

It's just that at this time, his eyes are empty and have no focus, like a fool.

"What's your name?"

While maintaining the effect of the "Asking the Heart", the ancestor of the Chen family directly asked.

When Zhou Yang heard his question, he immediately replied without hesitation: "Zhou Yang." ”

"How old are you this year?"

"39 years old. ”

"What happened to you and Chen Pingzhi after entering the [Thousand Machine Cave Heaven]?"

"At that time, Senior Chen Pingzhi entered the [Thousand Machines Cave Heaven] first, and was attacked and besieged by two puppet beasts, after I asked Senior Chen's permission, I helped Senior Chen deal with one of the lion beasts, and later the two puppet beasts ......"

Under the effect of "asking the heart", Zhou Yang is completely ready to answer, and he will answer whatever the ancestor of the Chen family asks, and will not say less, omit a word, or say any more words that have nothing to do with the question.

Even what he had deliberately concealed before, this time he said it as it was, even the fact that he wanted to exchange the blood collected from the sand bandit for Tsukidan, and he didn't hide anything.

Naturally, the matter of him using the "Blood Escape Technique" to escape for his life was also exposed.

It can be clearly seen that when he said the three words "Blood Escape Technique", Zhou Minghan and Zhou Xuanhao, the two Zhou family foundation building monks, changed their faces in unison, and looked at the Chen family ancestor and Zhang Yunpeng with a worried face.

After all, the "Blood Escape Technique" is a secret technique of the Demon Dao, and Zhou Yang and the Zhou family collect and practice this kind of secret art of the Demon Dao, whether it is big or not, whether it is small or not, it depends on whether a major sect like Huangshamen is willing to pursue it.

However, they didn't know that after the Chen Family Ancestor and Zhang Yunpeng discovered the serious loss of Zhou Yang's essence and blood, they guessed that he must have used this kind of demonic escape secret technique.

After all, as an extremely practical escape secret technique, there are still many people among immortal cultivators who practice the "Blood Escape Technique", such as them, Purple Mansion Stage cultivators, even if they have not practiced this secret technique, they have also understood this secret technique.

Therefore, when he heard that Zhou Yang said that he used the "Blood Escape Technique" to escape, except for Zhang Yunpeng's brows frowning slightly, the face of the ancestor of the Chen family did not change at all, and he obviously had no intention of pursuing this matter.

Seeing this, Zhou Minghan and Zhou Xuanhao felt a little relieved, and then they were relieved to continue to watch Zhou Yang continue.

Next, the ancestor of the Chen family also kept his promise and did not take the opportunity to ask Zhou Yang about his personal privacy and secrets, but after making sure that what he said was the same as what he said in the sand sea, he stopped casting the spell.

As soon as the spell stopped, Zhou Yang's body shook again, his eyes instantly regained focus, and his consciousness regained his consciousness.

After he regained consciousness, he first blinked in confusion, and then immediately remembered what happened before the "Mind Questioning Technique" in his body, and couldn't help but look at the old ancestor of the Chen family who was silent on the side and asked loudly, "What?

When the ancestor of the Chen family heard him ask about this, he didn't answer and asked, "You said you have blood taken from the sand bandit in your hands?"

When Zhou Yang heard this, he had to follow his words and replied: "Since Senior Chen asked about this, then the junior has the courage to ask the senior, you offered a reward of Zhuji Dan to reward the whereabouts of that group of sand bandits, and the junior can be regarded as completing the task by offering this thing?"

The ancestor of the Chen family didn't expect him to say this matter directly, and his face was immediately not embarrassed.

But this was indeed said by him himself, and there was even a written writing bounty list issued in the Fang City, even if he wanted to repay the debt, it was impossible at this time.

At the moment, he could only knock out his teeth and swallow it in his stomach: "If you can really find the lair of that gang of sand bandits with this thing, the next time the old man opens the furnace for alchemy, your Zhou family can get a free Zhuji Dan reward according to this skill!"

What he said still left a lot of leeway, that is, the blood of the sand bandits provided by Zhou Yang must be useful, and the Zhou family will still send monks to participate in the next "Foundation Building Conference".

In the end, even if he gave a Tsukidan for free, it would come from the Tsukidan distributed by each family, not from his Chen family's share.

In this way, the Chen family will at most earn one less spirit stone of the foundation building pill in the next "Foundation Building Conference", and in fact, it will not lose the family's heritage.

Yes, the underbelly.

The elixir of Tsukidan, in any force, is something that can be used as a foundation.

Zhou Yang didn't fail to hear the deep meaning of the Chen family's ancestors' words, but he was already very satisfied with this answer.

After all, it is too unrealistic to expect the Chen family to take Zhuji Dan out of his pocket to reward outsiders, even if he is replaced by himself, he can't be so generous.

As for whether the decision of the ancestor of the Chen family will harm the interests of other families and make other families jealous of the Zhou family, it is not in his consideration.

There is also a risk of choking to death when eating, should people stop eating because of choking?

If the Zhou family wants to develop, it will inevitably crowd out the development space of other families, why not take the Zhuji Dan that he Zhou Yang earned through formal channels and with his ability? Why not?

"Senior Chen is really a believer, and the younger generation admires it!"

On his pale face, a smile finally appeared, and he hurriedly took out the jade bottle containing the blood of the sand bandits and handed it to the ancestor of the Chen family.

At the same time, he didn't forget to say: "If Senior Chen finds the whereabouts of that group of sand bandits, please be sure to notify the juniors to participate, the juniors were able to build a successful foundation, and thanks to Chen Pingzhi's seniors lent his cave mansion to help, and the sand bandits attacked the oasis at the beginning, nine monks of my Zhou family died because of it, and the juniors, as the current patriarch of the Zhou family, have to avenge them for this reason!"

When the ancestor of the Chen family heard him say this, his face moved, and he couldn't help but nod lightly and said, "You have a heart, if Brother Yuquan knows that there is a descendant like you in the Zhou family, Jiuquan will also rest in peace!"

After speaking, he suddenly reached out and patted the storage bag, took out a jade bottle and threw it to Zhou Yang: "Since you have the intention to kill the thief, this bottle of [Jade Essence Pill] that can restore the damaged essence and blood of the Zhuji monk should be regarded as an apology for the old man Dai Pingzhi to help him." ”
