Red Tiger Mountain.

Zhou Yuanchen fell with sword light, looking at the Lingshan in front of him, which was covered by the formation clouds and mist, and the expression in his eyes was indescribably complicated.

It's certainly not the first time he's been here, but every time he does, his mood is very different.

The last time he came to Chihu Mountain, it was when Zhouyang held the Purple Mansion Celebration, and when he came here to participate in the Zhouyang Purple Mansion Celebration, his mood was mixed with happiness and pride.

He was happy that the Zhou family was promoted to the Zifu family, and he was also proud to be a member of the Zifu family.

And this time he came here, and his mood was very different.

"Husband, why did you stop? Didn't we already send a message to the patriarch in advance to inform them of the matter of coming over today to recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors?"

Beside Zhou Yuanchen, a woman in a white dress who practiced ninth-level Qi cultivation was holding a two- or three-year-old boy in her hand, looking at the Taoist priest with a puzzled face and asking questions.

It turned out that this woman was Zhou Yuanchen's new Taoist partner who had not been looking for a few years in Huangshamen, and the little boy in the woman's hand was the first child of the two.

According to the agreement reached with Zhou Yuanchen when the Zhou family funded Zhou Yuanchen to build the foundation, after Zhou Yuanchen successfully built the foundation, he must marry a wife and have children to leave offspring, and then let his descendants re-recognize their ancestors and return to the Zhou family.

Therefore, Zhou Yuanchen came over today to do this.

At this time, hearing the question of his fellow Daoist, Zhou Yuanchen, whose eyes were a little dazed, sighed lightly in his heart, and couldn't help but shake his head and said: "It's nothing, it's just that I suddenly remembered something, okay, let's go up the mountain!"

After saying that, he immediately sent a note to the monk on the mountain, and then took the Taoist priest's hand and walked up the mountain.

On Chihu Mountain, Zhou Yang, who received the news, hurriedly walked out of the cave and went down to the mountainside to greet Zhou Yuanchen and his wife.

"Brother Yuanchen is here, why don't you send a message to inform the younger brother in advance?

As soon as Zhou Yang saw Zhou Yuanchen and his wife, he complained half jokingly and half seriously.

Although he knew that Zhou Yuanchen and his wife would come to recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors today, and he also ordered someone to prepare ritual supplies, but it was impossible for him to walk down the mountain early in the morning and wait for Zhou Yuanchen and his wife to come over, right?

When Zhou Yuanchen heard his words, he was very moved in his heart, and hurriedly explained: "I heard that Ninth Brother, you have been practicing in retreat in recent years, why did you disturb you in advance because of this little thing?"

Zhou Yang could not despise him because of his identity as a Purple Mansion period monk, but he couldn't help but take into account the gap in cultivation between the two sides.

Let a Purple Mansion period monk wait for him outside the family, Zhou Yuanchen asked himself if he didn't have this qualification, and it was almost the same as Zhang Yunpeng, the head of Huangshamen, and his wife.

When Zhou Yang heard this, he shook his head again and again and looked at him with a straight face and said: "Brother Yuanchen's words are wrong, such a major matter as recognizing the ancestors and returning to the ancestors, of course, the younger brother as the patriarch must handle it himself." ”

Zhou Yuanchen was said to be poor for a while, so he could only cough lightly twice and nodded again and again to admit his mistake: "Ahem, the ninth brother is right, it is the eldest brother who is rude." ”

After speaking, he was afraid that Zhou Yang would entangle this matter again, so he took the little boy from the arms of the Taoist couple next to him and said, "Guangde, this is your ninth uncle, hurry up and say hello to the ninth uncle." ”

The little boy was very obedient, and immediately shouted at Zhou Yang: "Hello Uncle Jiu, I am Zhou Guangde, with a broad mind and benevolence, righteousness and morality. ”

"Guangde, you are good, what a good boy, let Uncle Nine hug him. ”

Zhou Yang had a smile on his face, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he took the little boy handed over by Zhou Yuanchen.

He hugged the little boy Zhou Guangde in his arms, his eyes flashed with golden light, and he quickly saw the little boy's spiritual root qualification through the "golden pupil from the fire".

Since his parents are monks, and his father is still a foundation building monk, the little boy Zhou Guangde's spiritual root qualification is very good, although it is not a high-grade spiritual root, but it is also a medium-grade spiritual root qualification whose spiritual root attributes are biased towards earth and wood.

This qualification, as long as he works hard to cultivate in the future, and his father Zhou Yuanchen, who is a monk in the foundation building period, is fully cultivated, the possibility of the little guy building the foundation in the future is still very great.

At that moment, Zhou Yang personally held the little boy Zhou Guangde and walked to the ancestral hall with Zhou Yuanchen and his wife.

After the Zhou family moved the foundation to Chihu Mountain, they established an ancestral shrine here that was more majestic than the ancestral shrine on Yuquan Peak, and the spirit tablets of the ancestors in the ancestral shrine on Yuquan Peak were also relocated here.

As Zhou Yang said, recognizing ancestors and returning to their ancestors is a family event.

After Zhou Yang received Zhou Yuanchen's summons a few days ago, he summoned all the "Yuan" monks and some "Guang" monks in the late stage of Qi cultivation in the Chihu Mountain Oasis to come back to watch the ceremony, and the monks on the mountain, regardless of their age, gathered together in the ancestral shrine to witness this incident.

In this way, in the witness of hundreds of clansmen, Zhou Yuanchen took the hand of his son Zhou Guangde, and bowed in front of the deceased elders of the Zhou family in the ancestral ancestral hall one by one, and offered spiritual incense, and finally Zhou Yang, the patriarch, personally took out the original genealogy and added Zhou Guangde's name to the "Guang" generation of monks.

Since then, Zhou Guangde has been a member of the Zhou family in the true sense, and he will have nothing to do with Huangshamen in the future.

"This time Guangde came back to recognize his ancestors and returned to his ancestors, I also took leave with the sect, and in the next five years, our husband and wife will stay in the family to take care of Guangde, ninth brother, if you have anything to do with my eldest brother, but it doesn't matter. ”

After the ceremony of recognizing the ancestors and returning to the ancestors, Zhou Yuanchen asked the Taoist to take his son to the mountains to familiarize himself with the environment, but he and Zhou Yang went to a secluded place behind the ancestral shrine and explained his plans.

"This is a good thing, Brother Yuanchen, it is rare for you to stay in the family for such a long time, and you can also contact the clansmen. ”

"As for what you want Brother Yuanchen to do, if Brother Yuanchen is free, you might as well go to the Baiyi Hall to teach the family monks how to make talismans, and by the way, help the family make some third-order spirit runes. ”

Zhou Yang nodded lightly, and also unceremoniously arranged a task for Zhou Yuanchen.

When Zhou Yuanchen heard what he said, he immediately agreed: "No problem, I will definitely not be stingy to pass on my talisman making experience and experience to the younger generations of the family." ”

After speaking, he reached out and patted the storage bag, took out a jade slip and handed it to Zhou Yang and said: "In addition, there is a talisman making experience codex that I have summarized and written over the years, ninth brother, you will also include it in the family scripture cave for the clan to learn!"

Zhou Yuanchen is now a third-order mid-grade talisman maker, and his talisman making experience codex, although it does not involve some of Huangshamen's secret talisman making techniques, is also very valuable for research and learning.

Zhou Yang immediately took the jade slip with both hands and said solemnly: "Brother Yuanchen, rest assured, the younger brother will definitely let the clansmen know about your contribution to the family!"

In order to show his importance to Zhou Yuanchen, Zhou Yang handed over another remaining first-class cave on Chihu Mountain to him for temporary residence, and at the same time let those clansmen of the Zhou family who had learned talisman making skills or were interested in talisman making skills seize this opportunity to ask him more about talisman making skills.

Even he himself set aside some time to listen to the professional lessons that Zhou Yuanchen gave to those Zhou family talisman makers.

That's right, after thinking about it a lot, Zhou Yang decided to put the second kind of immortal cultivation on the talisman technique.

He doesn't have to think about alchemy, Daoist Xiao Ying is an extremely good alchemist, and the array mage is recognized as the most time-consuming and energy-consuming profession, so there are not many professions he can choose from.

For him, there are several benefits to choosing talismans.

First of all, he can make up for his lack of spell cultivation through spirit runes, he has practiced to this day, many spells are only in the stage of being usable but not proficient, and they cannot be used in actual combat at all.

If he learns the art of making talismans, he can make up for this shortcoming through spirit runes, making his means of dealing with enemies more comprehensive and able to deal with all kinds of complex and dangerous situations.

Secondly, now the Zhou family belongs to his cultivation to the highest, and it is estimated that it will be the same in the future, so if he can learn the talisman making technique and raise it to the fourth order, he can leave many fourth-order spirit runes for the family as hole cards, and even if he has something to travel in the future, he doesn't have to worry about a random Purple Mansion monk or demon beast, and he can destroy the Zhou family.

Third, the requirements for materials are not high, in addition to the rune pen, whether it is blood ink, spirit ink, or rune paper, it can be made of the spiritual blood and animal skin of demon beasts, and there is no need to spend a lot of time in order to find a certain material like alchemy and refining.

The Zhou family does not lack the materials needed to make talismans, whether it is blank rune paper or blood ink, the Zhou family has a large amount of storage, of course, it is limited to first-order and second-order materials, although there are third-order materials, but it is impossible to give them to a certain talisman maker like these low-level materials.

Zhou Yang used the cultivation of the Purple Mansion period to learn talisman making, coupled with the sufficient supply of various materials, under the commanding height, the progress should not be too fast, but after three months, he upgraded the talisman making technique to the second-order upper grade, and then after two months of hard training, he successfully produced the first third-order lower grade spirit rune.

However, after becoming a third-order talisman master, it was impossible for him to quickly increase the level of talisman making as quickly as before.

The Zhou family's current third-order talisman materials are limited, and it is impossible for him to consume and waste them as much as he treats low-level materials.

Moreover, the difficulty of making a third-order spirit rune and the requirements for skill were far greater than those of the second-order spirit rune, and even he had to spend a lot of time studying and practicing to master it.

And he can't allocate all his time to talisman making now, whether it is the cultivation of the second layer of the "Great Yan Sword Technique" or the cultivation of the "Qianyang Divine Thunder", the sequence in his heart is higher than the talisman technique.

After all, he will soon go far away, and he will have to cross a dangerous place like the Broken Cloud Mountain Range, and if he encounters danger at that time, the only thing that can save his life is these two powerful spells, not the third-order talisman that cannot help at all at the Purple Mansion level.
