Chapter 388: There is a successor!
A small family meeting to understand the situation of the family made Zhou Yang aware of the hidden dangers that the Zhou family had not been taken seriously, and in this regard, this meeting was extremely successful.
After he noticed the hidden danger between the two Zhou family monks with different backgrounds, although he was eager to find a solution to the hidden danger, he did not dare to speak out, so as not to detonate this dark thunder in advance.
Even Zhou Guangjian, the elder of the Gong Transmission who had vaguely guessed something, was given a gag order by him, ordering him not to reveal today's conversation with anyone.
Next, as if nothing had happened, Zhou Yang successively listened to the reports of other law enforcement elders in the family, made some relevant guidance, and announced the dissolution of the meeting.
After the meeting, Zhou Yang quietly called up the law enforcement records of the Law Enforcement Hall for the past 20 years, and then found some discrepancies.
In the past 20 years of law enforcement records, the number of cases of fighting between clansmen has increased year by year.
Although the law enforcement records did not record what kind of quarrel between the two parties caused the fight, Zhou Yang compared the roster of Zhou family monks he transferred from the Chuangong Hall, and it was easy to find that the two sides of the brawl were often monks from "Fengyue Tower" and monks from the Zhou family.
The only thing that makes Zhou Yang feel relieved now is that the clansmen who are fighting are basically young people.
Those people in the Zhou family who are over sixty or seventy years old, because they have all shared weal and woe in the past, even though they may have been influenced by some young people, they can maintain restraint and do not do things that kill each other.
But with the passage of time, the new generation of Zhou family monks lack the experience of sharing weal and woe, and when competing for resources within the family, the so-called distinction between pure-blood and mixed-race will definitely become an excuse for them to attack each other.
At that time, even if the people above can keep a clear head and see the consequences of their own death, sometimes they will inevitably be dragged into the water by their juniors.
After all, not everyone is like Zhou Yang who has no brothers and sisters, no children and relatives, and can be "alone".
When their siblings, nieces and nephews, sons and daughters, these people are all insulted and attacked by others as "mixed-race mongrel", how many people can hold back their anger and not protect their cubs?
"It's worth being wary of!"
In the quiet room, after Zhou Yang flipped through all the information, he couldn't help but raise his hand and rub the corners of his eyes, and his face was complicated and he sighed.
A family can't always be harmonious and beautiful, which he knew when he first took over the family a hundred years ago.
However, in the past, the Zhou family was on the rise, and it was a standard with few people and many resources, even if there were some contradictions, they would soon be temporarily forgotten because of various busy things.
The contradictions are not gone, but they are suppressed by more important things.
After hundreds of years of development, the number of monks of the Zhou family has increased by twenty or thirty times, and if there are many of them, the bullshit that must come from all kinds of big families will definitely follow.
In fact, Zhou Guangyin and Zhou Tongming's aunt and nephew relationship had already exposed some things, but at that time, Zhou Yang didn't have time to think about this matter, so he didn't pay much attention to it.
But now, he knew that he had to settle the matter of pure-blood and half-blood in advance, otherwise when the contradiction between the two sides really rose to the point of inextricability, it would be impossible to solve this contradiction without bloodshed.
In fact, Zhou Yang also has a way to solve this matter, but he can't implement this method yet.
Because once this method is implemented, it will inevitably deal a serious blow to the development of the Zhou family, and it will also be opposed by many clansmen.
So he has to wait now, wait for the contradiction to escalate, and wait for the contradiction to escalate to the point where the majority of the people are aware of the serious consequences caused by this contradiction.
By that time, there should not be many people who oppose it.
Of course, this contradiction can be escalated, but it must be under Zhou Yang's control, it cannot be escalated indefinitely, and it cannot break through the bottom line in his heart.
It just so happened that Zhou Guangxiang was now in retreat to open up the Purple Mansion, and Zhou Yang regained the power of the patriarch, giving him a chance to rectify the layout in the name of justice.
He first made a cut in the expenses of the "Wind Moon Tower", which reduced the number of births of half-blood monks in disguise.
Then he transferred the work of some monks in the clan, and secretly transferred some monks from mixed-race monks to the spiritual mountain outside the Red Tiger Mountain.
Then he secretly let out the rumors, saying that the number of deacons and elders in the family was too small and the power was too great, and the elders intended to expand the number of elders and reduce the power of the deacons and elders.
As he expected, after some Zhou family monks heard the news, they immediately began to inquire about the authenticity of the news everywhere, and they were eager to fight for a place.
But at this time, he responded to the rumors that they were rumors, and severely reprimanded those who spread the rumors, saying that if anyone spread rumors in the clan in the future, he would directly exile the rumors.
When those Zhou family monks saw that the "rumors" were learned by Zhou Yang so quickly and dealt with seriously, they immediately knew that Zhou Yang, the Supreme Elder, was not dedicated to cultivation and did not care about world affairs, in fact, he was very clear about the affairs within the clan.
Some members of the Zhou family who had a small abacus in their hearts were frightened by Zhou Yang, and they were also frightened a lot, and the family was a lot more harmonious.
At the same time, after this trouble, Zhou Yang mobilized the clansmen to work, except for some parties who were a little unwilling and unwilling, no one else paid attention to this matter.
Most immortal cultivators are actually refined egoists, as long as it doesn't affect their own vital interests, they don't care what happens to other people, isn't it better to focus on cultivation?
"Elder Taishang, Elder Qiqi, the juniors have important things to see!"
On this day, Zhou Yang was processing some accumulated documents in the clan in the palace where the patriarch did his daily errands, when he suddenly heard the cry of Liu Xuanxuan, the deputy hall master of the Zhou family's Baiyi Hall, in great surprise.
"It turned out to be Liu Xiaoyou, Xiaoyou, why did you come here. He summoned someone in and asked with a smile what the other party meant.
However, when Liu Xuanxuan heard this, she directly reached out and patted the storage bag, took out a glittering cyan feather fan and handed it to him.
"Elder Taishang, please see, this [Wind Feather Fan] is the latest refining by the juniors, what do you think?"
The cyan feather fan is made of the eagle feather that faded after the Eagle Lion Beast was promoted to the fourth order, and the handle of the fan is made of a third-order spirit wood, and the magic weapon aura emitted on it is a third-order level!
At the beginning, after Zhou Yang plucked out the eagle feathers that the eagle lion beast had faded, most of them were filled into the Zhou family's treasure house, and he always knew that Liu Xuanxuan had been consuming the spirit stones and contribution points accumulated over the years in order to fulfill his promise over the years, and exchanged these materials from the treasure house to refine third-order magic weapons.
Now it seems that she really succeeded!
Of course, whether it is really successful or not still needs to be judged by Zhou Yang.
He didn't speak, he directly reached out and took the feather fan handed over by Liu Xuanxuan, and practiced this magic weapon on the spot.
With his cultivation at the fourth level of the Purple Mansion, the cultivation of such a third-order lower-grade magic weapon would naturally be completed in a moment.
Then he walked out of the room, waved his fan at the sky outside the room, and in an instant, the blue light flashed on the fan, and it formed a three-foot-long cyan wind blade that shot towards the sky, and it flew out for four or five hundred zhang before dissipating.
Then he shook the feather fan again, and the cyan aura flashed on the fan, and soon a blue-gray wind wall was formed in front of him.
He gently stretched out his hand and poked at the wind wall, and found that the wind wall was very tough, and it was difficult to pierce it at once.
"After fifteen failures in the juniors, they finally used nine Eagle Lion Beast Feathers as the main material, and combined with Qingkong Wood to refine this [Wind Feather Fan]. ”
"This fan can not only be charged to release a third-order low-grade attack spell level wind blade spell to attack the enemy every day, but also release a wind wall equivalent to a third-order low-grade defense spell every three days for defense. ”
"If you encounter a critical situation, you can also use the method of self-destruction magic weapon to stimulate the nine eagle feathers on the fan surface to cover the attack, and the attack strength of each eagle feather should not be inferior to the first-order lower-grade flying sword strike!"
When Zhou Yang was testing the magic weapon, Liu Xuanxuan also seemed to have finally seized the opportunity, and introduced the function of her magic weapon with a smile on her face.
A third-order low-grade magic weapon with three different functions is indeed a rare thing, and it is no wonder that she can't help but show a smug and proud look in her words.
Zhou Yang didn't test the third magic weapon that Liu Xuanxuan said, which would destroy this magic weapon that was very commemorative for Liu Xuanxuan.
What's more, with his identity as a fourth-order mid-grade refiner, of course, he could judge whether Liu Xuanxuan's words were true or false.
After he tested the two magic weapons in front of this "Wind Feather Fan", he collected the magic weapon, looked at Liu Xuanxuan with deep eyes and asked, "How old are you this year?"
Liu Xuanxuan's face was stunned when she heard this, and then as if she had thought of something, she replied with a respectful face: "Elder Taishang Mingjian, the junior entered the Zhou family at the age of twenty-one, and he is already fifty-five years old this year. ”
"Time flies so fast, thirty-four years have passed before you know it!"
Zhou Yang sighed lightly with emotion, and then in Liu Xuanxuan's unexplained gaze, he nodded lightly and said, "Very good, since you can refine a third-order magic weapon with the cultivation of the ninth layer of Qi cultivation, I will also fulfill my promise to ensure your success in building the foundation!"
Make sure you build a successful foundation!
When Liu Xuanxuan heard this, even if she had developed a state of mind that was not shocked over the years, she couldn't help but show extreme joy at this time.
"This is a Tsukidan, you take it first, if it fails, come to me and get it. ”
Zhou Yang was also simply, knowing that it was better to say than to do, no matter how many good things he said, there was no actual action to make people believe it, when he raised his hand and took out a jade bottle containing Zhuji Dan and handed it to Liu Xuanxuan.
"Elder Xie Taishang gave Dan!"
With an excited face, she reached out and took the jade bottle containing Zhuji Dan from Zhou Yang's hand, Liu Xuanxuan didn't know how she walked back to her cave.
She has served in the Zhou family for many years, and she has already used her alchemy skills to win the right to live in a foundation cave mansion on Chihu Mountain.
At this time, after returning to the cave, she was excited to retreat and build the foundation.
A month later, Liu Xuanxuan walked out of the cave with an ugly face, and at this time, her cultivation was the tenth-level Great Perfection of Qi cultivation.
Regarding Liu Xuanxuan's failure to take Zhuji Dan to build the foundation, Zhou Yang didn't have any idea, the success rate of Zhongpin Linggen taking Zhuji Dan was not ten out of ten, and failure was normal.
So he didn't say anything, and after comforting Liu Xuanxuan with kind words, telling her not to have too much psychological pressure, he gave her a second Tsukidan.
Fortunately, Liu Xuanxuan did not waste any more opportunities this time, and after a month and a half of retreat, she successfully built the foundation and walked out of the cave.
At this point, the first first-class guest worship of the Zhou family was born.
