Chapter 223: The Situation Is Serious [Ask for Subscription]
"Huangshamen wants our Zhou family to send two foundation building monks to their mountain gate to accept the dispatch?"
On Yuquan Peak, Zhou Yang, who rushed back urgently after receiving the news, suddenly became solemn after reading the conscription order with Cao Wenjin's mana imprint.
This kind of conscription order stamped with Cao Wenjin's mana imprint was not issued when the Boundless Sand Sea Cultivation Immortal Realm was invaded by the remnants of the Blood Demon Sect.
Of course, there are reasons for the special treatment under the special circumstances at that time, and on the other hand, it also shows the importance of this matter.
According to the agreement between Huangshamen and the various vassal forces, after receiving the conscription order printed with the mana mark of the Huangshamen Jindan monk, all the vassal forces must unconditionally immediately follow the above requirements, otherwise it will be regarded as a betrayal!
And the Jindan monks issued this kind of conscription order with their own mana imprint on a large scale, and they were also endorsing it with their own reputation and the reputation of the sect.
Basically, if it is not the time for the life and death of the sect, the Jindan monk will definitely not use this method to recruit vassal forces outside the sect.
"Now that Huangshamen has not been invaded by foreign enemies, nor has it been at war with other similar forces, what is the intention of Cao Laozu to issue a conscription order of this level at this time?"
Zhou Yang looked at the conscription order in his hand and muttered to himself, his face was unprecedentedly solemn.
There has always been a rule in this kind of official notice given by the superiors, that is, the fewer words, the bigger the matter!
Generally speaking, when a conscription order is issued, it is necessary to at least indicate the reason for the conscription order, so that the monk who receives the conscription order can be mentally prepared in advance, make relevant preparations, and at the same time calm people's minds and make people not think nonsense.
But now, the conscription order signed by Cao Wenjin is just this kind of "forced conscription order" that has not been explained for any reason.
"What is the intention of Huangshamen, it is useless for us to guess now, it is useless to guess, now what we should discuss is, which two foundation building monks will go to Huangshamen to accept the requisition?"
The old patriarch Zhou Minghan looked at Zhou Yang with heavy eyes, and said slowly: "The old man's opinion is that any of us can go, but you, the patriarch, must not go!"
The hope of the whole clan is the current Zhou Yang.
Zhou Minghan, including all the monks of the Zhou family, all expected him to be able to cultivate to the ninth layer of the foundation as soon as possible and open up the Purple Mansion as soon as possible.
Now that this kind of thing happened, Zhou Minghan was of course the first one who didn't want Zhou Yang to get involved, in case something happened to him.
"Great-grandfather, your kindness, my grandson understands it, but as the patriarch, if I retreat at this time, how can I convince the people? How can I convince the clansmen that I will stand up and protect them when they are in danger, instead of turning around and fleeing first?"
Zhou Yang shook his head solemnly, and denied the opinion of the old patriarch Zhou Minghan.
In terms of combat power, he is now the first person in the Zhou family.
In terms of cultivation, his cultivation is second only to the old patriarch Zhou Minghan.
In terms of identity, he is the current patriarch of the Zhou family.
Now that the family encounters this kind of thing, if he, as the patriarch, does not take the lead in charging ahead, but just shouts "give it to me" in the back, what will those clansmen think?
What's more, Zhou Yang also knew that if he didn't go, in order to minimize the blow to his patriarch's prestige, the two Zhou family foundation building monks who were recruited this time were most likely the old patriarch Zhou Minghan and his father Zhou Xuanhao!
Only these two people can do it, for his safety and reputation, go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire without regrets, and die without regrets!
And as a son of man, how could he let such a thing happen?
"Now is not the time to be competitive!"
"The value of you alone to the Zhou family is better than the value of all our foundation building monks to the Zhou family, as the patriarch of the family, won't you still count this account?"
"It's rare that Huang Shamen didn't name you this time, it's good that you have to rush to death yourself! Do you want to be angry with the old man and your father?"
Zhou Minghan looked at Zhou Yang with a pale face, his tone was angry and angry, and his eyes were full of hatred for iron and steel.
Zhou Yang was unmoved, just looked at him with a firm face and said:
"Great-grandfather, don't say it, not everything in this world can be measured by the word profit!"
"Your love for your grandson, your grandson understands it, but your grandson is not only the patriarch of the Zhou family, but also the son of a father, and your grandson!"
"I, Zhou Yang, how can I be the kind of coward who sees his elders and relatives going to the soup in front of him, but he is huddled in the family waiting for news!"
If he really was the kind of person who only put the interests of the family first, he would not have come to this point.
He has always admired and admired the old patriarch Zhou Minghan, but if he wants to be a person like Zhou Minghan, he can't do it!
When Zhou Minghan heard Zhou Yang's words, he was moved and angry in his heart, and couldn't help but look at him angrily and asked, "Then what are you going to do?"
"Of course, Huang Yi and I applied to Huangshamen!" Zhou Yang said his decision without hesitation.
After he finished speaking, without waiting for Zhou Minghan to refute, he continued: "As the patriarch, I should take the lead, with me in the front, Huang Yi, as my Zhou family's foundation building monk, what reason is there to oppose going? So great-grandfather, don't say that you will exchange yourself and me, you really can't replace me this time!"
"You ......" Zhou Minghan's mouth moved, and he was really speechless by Zhou Yang's words.
"You are the patriarch, do what you want!"
He finally took a deep breath, and was forced to agree with Zhou Yang's decision with a helpless face.
Zhou Yang was raised by him since he was a child, and he knows more about Zhou Yang's personality and temper than Zhou Yang's father Zhou Xuanhao.
So when it came to this, he knew very well that nothing he said could affect Zhou Yang's decision.
As for forcing each other to death or something, this is not a quarrel between husband and wife, how can such a ridiculous means be used to achieve the goal.
So this matter was decided.
Fortunately, although the recruitment order of Huangshamen is of a very high level, the time is not too anxious, as long as it is rushed to the mountain gate of Huangshamen within three months, it is not considered a delay.
Therefore, after Zhou Minghan acquiesced to Zhou Yang's decision, he immediately went to the Yang family in Jinquan Valley with the "Gold Devouring Beast" materials that the Zhou family had allocated last time, preparing to refine a few powerful magic weapons for him to defend himself before Zhou Yang set off.
In the early years, the Yang family asked the ancestor of the Chen family to help open up an earth fire room, which could take the earth fire alchemy refiner, and now the Zhou family and the Chen family are at odds, and Zhou Minghan rarely goes to the earth fire room refining in the Baisha River Oasis.
The materials on the "Gold Devouring Beast" are as high as the fourth order, and it is more than enough to refine the fourth-order magic weapon, and Zhou Minghan's refining now is actually a waste of resources.
But in the face of Zhou Yang's life and death, how could Zhou Minghan manage so much.
After more than two months of refining, he finally used the two fangs of the "Gold Devouring Beast" as the main material to refine a third-order high-grade flying sword, and then used the fourth-order spirit gold refined from the corpse of the "Gold Devouring Beast" as the main material to refine a third-order high-grade defensive magic weapon shield.
These two magic weapons, along with a fourth-order spirit rune that Zhou Yang helped him exchange from Jiang Yuyan last time, were all handed over to Zhou Yang by him.
Even Huang Yi, who was traveling with Zhou Yang, got a third-order mid-grade defensive magic weapon.
Zhou Yang and Huang Yi spent about a month refining and familiarizing themselves with the newly acquired magic weapon, then bid farewell to the Zhou family monks who saw them off, and rode the Gripon Beast to Huangshamen together.
This trip was unpredictable, and Zhou Yang brought the Gripper Beast with him, just in case he escaped with a serious injury after the "Blood Escape Technique" escaped, so that the Gripper Beast could continue to escape with him.
After doing this for a few days, Zhou Yang and Huang Yi rushed to the outside of the general affairs hall of Huangshamen.
"There are so many foundation monks!"
Outside the general hall of Huangshamen, Zhou Yang and Huang Yi were taken aback when they arrived here.
I saw that outside the Huangshamen General Affairs Hall at this time, there were more than 100 Zhuji monks wearing various costumes, and these people did not wear the uniforms of the Huangshamen sect, which obviously showed that they were all family monks who were recruited here like the Zhou family.
"Oh, is the Daoist friend of the Yuquan Zhou family here? I haven't seen you for more than 20 years, and Zhou Daoyou's cultivation has improved a lot!"
Zhou Yang and Huang Yi were surprised by the large number of people coming, and a voice reached his ears.
He followed the sound and looked over, only to see Guo Shuyun, the master of the general affairs hall of Huangshamen, walking out of the hall with great strides.
Seeing this, Zhou Yang hurriedly took Huang Yi forward to salute, and then replied with a smile: "Senior Guo praised it falsely, in front of the seniors, what is the cultivation of the juniors?"
He has dealt with Guo Shuyun many times, and because Cao Wenjin looks at him differently, Guo Shuyun's attitude towards him has always been very good.
However, this time Guo Shuyun didn't have time to be polite to him, and after a few words with him, he pointed to the monks outside the hall and said, "Have you seen these people? After you leave a mana mark on the old man's signature book, go over and wait first, and when the time is up, Cao Laozu will personally come over to explain to you the reason for recruiting you this time." ”
When Zhou Yang heard this, his eyebrows furrowed, and he couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "The junior wants to go and meet Cao Laozu first, but I don't know if it's inconvenient?"
"No need, the ancestor has already spoken, there will be no guests during this time, and no one can go!"
Guo Shuyun glanced at him, shook his head directly and rejected his request.
Seeing this, Zhou Yang could only nod helplessly and said, "The juniors understand, thank you for telling the seniors." ”
At that moment, he took Huang Yi to find an open space outside the hall and sit down, and then while sending a message to his brother Zhou Yuanchen in Huangshamen, Feijian to inquire about the news, he also communicated with some of the Baishahe Immortal Cultivation Realm Foundation Cultivators in the crowd who knew each other.
In addition, among these people, Zhou Yang did not see the figure of the Chen family's foundation building period monks, nor did he see any Purple Mansion period monks.
