Chapter 371: Long-term Plan
With the level of Xu Song's fifth-order array mage, if he wanted to arrange a phantom array to test the cultivators of the Qi cultivation period, it was naturally easy to capture.
The Zhou family itself has a "Misty Jade" mine, and the "Misty Jade" produced is the necessary material for arranging the phantom array, and there is no shortage of materials for the array.
And Zhou Guangyin, the female cultivator of the Zhou family who fell in love with Zhou Tongming, after the family meeting, Zhou Guangtai, a monk of the Zhou family, personally rode the eagle lion beast to Haoyang Mountain Spirit Vein to pick it up.
From Zhou Yang's point of view, this Zhou Guangyin looks average, and his appearance is not said to be compared with the stunning beauties like Jiang Fengxian and Yun Yiyi he has seen, and even compared with his Taoist companion Xiao Ying, he is more than inferior.
Even the female cultivators of the Zhou family in the Zhou family's council hall that day also had many people who were at the same level as them.
Therefore, Zhou Yang also didn't understand why Zhou Tongming was willing to work so hard for this woman.
"Maybe that's love!"
He looked at the little couple who hugged each other and cried and laughed after reuniting after a few years, and thought to himself with a slight distraction.
At this moment, he was a little envious of the little couple.
He knows his own family affairs, although he and Xiao Ying have been married for decades, the relationship between the two has been tepid, and there is no possibility of loving Zhou Tongming and Zhou Guangyin to death.
Zhou Yang remembered that he had heard a saying in his previous life that love would slowly evolve into family affection in the end.
Two people who love each other can grow old together, not because their love can last so long, but because after being together for too long, two people have regarded each other as each other's closest relatives and are unwilling to separate, just because they are unwilling to give up this family relationship.
Zhou Yang felt that the relationship between himself and Taoist companion Xiao Ying gradually developed in this direction as time went by.
"Maybe it's because we've never really double-cultivated!"
His eyes sparkled, and he gave himself a reason to comfort himself.
The test phantom array was arranged and built by Xu Song, but the person who controlled the formation was Zhou Guangxiang, the patriarch of the Zhou family.
On the day of the test, many members of the Zhou family who were still on Chihu Mountain took the initiative to come over to watch, and the coming of these people put great pressure on Zhou Tongming and Zhou Guangyin.
It is conceivable that if the two of them fail to pass the test in full view of everyone, they will be faceless for the rest of their lives.
"Aunt Yin, let's go in, you and I are stronger than Jin, no matter what kind of illusion is dangerous, we can't separate you and me!"
Zhou Tongming held the palm of his beloved woman's hand tightly, his eyes swept over those fellow clansmen who looked like they were watching a show, and he pulled Zhou Guangyin into the formation with a firm expression.
Looking at Zhou Guangyin again, as a woman, although she has a natural sense of shyness in this kind of public, she does not have any timidity, but her eyes are full of autumn waves and she looks closely at the man holding her hand, and her eyes are full of happiness and love that cannot be concealed.
"I hope you can make it!"
Zhou Yang, who was watching this scene from afar, whispered his blessings.
In the entire Zhou family, he is probably the only one who is neutral or even agrees with this aunt and nephew falling in love.
The Illusion Test soon began.
According to Xu Song's arrangement, the little couple who enters the phantom array to be tested will face various fantasy tests such as the sea of swords, mountains and fires, a hundred years of loneliness, lingering love, the fingers of ten thousand husbands, and the enemy of the world.
In these illusion tests, if two young couples who only cultivate during the Qi cultivation period want to pass the test, they can only do it by sticking to their affection for each other.
For example, in the sea of swords, the little couple will be placed in the sea of fire, facing the choice of who will survive first, and only by choosing each other can they pass.
In a hundred years of loneliness, young couples will face the situation of being separated from each other for a hundred years, and they need to keep an agreement for a hundred years, and still do not forget to agree and love each other.
Among the enemies of the world, the love between two young couples and nephews is not tolerated by the world, and everywhere they go will be pointed at and sneered.
These ideas to test the illusion were all thought of by Zhou Yang, and then Xu Song realized the creativity he thought of with the illusion.
However, in order to protect the privacy of those who were tested, the figures of Zhou Tongming and Zhou Guangyin, who entered the phantom array to be tested, automatically disappeared in the eyes of those who watched the Zhou family.
In Zhou Yang's eyes, he saw the two little couples who were sometimes frightened and angry after encountering all kinds of illusions, sometimes crying and scolding, sometimes flushed and singing and moaning, sometimes biting their lips with gloomy faces, and their faces were full of resentment and grievance...... All kinds of demeanors are revealed.
In this way, when the scheduled test time of two hours was over, Zhou Tongming and Zhou Guangyin in the phantom array really relied on their deep love for each other to support them until the end!
"It's easy to get priceless treasures, and it's rare to have lovers!"
"The two of you can still not forget each other and stick to your love for each other after facing many illusions and dangers, the will of God can be seen, and people can also be seen, I can't find a reason to break up the two of you!"
Outside the phantom array, Zhou Yang looked at the little couple who had just gone through many tests and successfully held hands together, and sighed with emotion on his face.
Then his face was solemn, and he turned his gaze to look at the Zhou clan people who were watching the excitement outside the arena and shouted: "Now I declare as the elder of the Zhou family, admit and fulfill the love affair between Zhou Tongming and Zhou Guangyin, all my Zhou clansmen, Zhou family's relatives or guest Qing worship, whoever dares to attack the two of them with this matter will be punished according to the clan rules of slandering the same clan!"
"Yes, we will obey the orders of the Supreme Elder!"
Zhou Guangxiang, who was the patriarch, was the first to take the lead and knelt down on one knee and responded loudly to Zhou Yang's order.
When the rest of the Zhou family saw this scene, they dared to hesitate any longer, and immediately quickly knelt down, and some even knelt down on both knees, and shouted in response: "Obey the order of Elder Taishang." ”
Hearing the words of these people, Zhou Tongming and the others, who hugged each other tightly in the phantom array, came back to their senses.
Then Zhou Tongming knelt on the ground facing Zhou Yang and kowtowed loudly and thanked loudly: "Elder Xie Taishang is complete, Patriarch Xie is complete, the great kindness of the two elders, Zhou Tongming is unforgettable, but there are orders in the clan in the future, Zhou Tongming will never give up!"
"I give you a word, if the two love for a long time, how can it be in the morning and twilight!"
"If you really want to be together all the time, you should work hard to practice in the future and put all your energy into cultivation, if you can build a foundation, isn't more than two hundred years of life enough for you and me?"
Zhou Yang looked at these two juniors, left some words of earnest teaching, and turned around and left here.
As a Purple Mansion Stage Cultivator, there was actually no need for him to pay so much attention to the affairs of the two Qi Cultivation Period Cultivators, and the reason why he would pay attention to this matter this time was also because he wanted to set a benchmark rule for similar things in the future.
There are examples of Zhou Tongming and Zhou Guangyin in the front, and if something similar happens to the Zhou family in the future, they will have to go to the phantom array first.
This time, Zhou Tongming and Zhou Guangyin were able to successfully pass the test, that is, their love is really indestructible.
Zhou Yang didn't believe that every couple of men and women in love could stick to the end in the phantom array.
Back in the Qianyang Cave where he was cultivating, Zhou Yang began to prepare another thing, that is, to design a set of exclusive magic equipment for the family battle hall monks.
A set of exclusive standard magic equipment can not only greatly improve the combat effectiveness of an immortal cultivator, but also greatly enhance the sense of honor of the monks who use this set of equipment, so that other Zhou family monks want to join the battle hall even more, so that other monks in the outside world will naturally be in awe and take the initiative to avoid it when they see the Zhou family war hall monks appear.
Of course, for Zhou Yang, designing such an exclusive set of magic weapon equipment has a more important significance, that is, to prepare for the future impact of the fifth-order refiner.
Although the fourth-order refiner is also called the refiner master, the gap between the fourth-order refiner and the fifth-order refiner is like the gap between the Purple Mansion stage monk and the Jindan stage monk, and it is even bigger.
A true master of refining weapons must be creative, and he must create a unique magic weapon that is different from ordinary magic weapons, that is, he creates his own magic weapons.
Zhou Yang had tried to create his own magic weapon not long after the foundation was built, and then he undoubtedly failed.
Looking back now, he realized how ridiculous it was that he wanted to create his own magic weapon in the first place.
A refiner who is not even a third-order refiner wants to create his own magic weapon, the difficulty is simply greater than that of a Jindan stage monk who wants to marry a baby, and it is normal for him to fail.
However, now, he is already a fourth-order mid-grade refiner, and with the guidance of Xu Song, a real fifth-order refiner, he can completely try to create his own magic weapon again.
Moreover, this time he created his own magic weapon, and it was no longer possible to create a simple first-order magic weapon like the "Flame Sword", but to create a second-order high-grade magic weapon that could really be used in the fighting method of immortal cultivators during the Qi cultivation period.
After some discussion with Xu Song, Zhou Yang decided to set the style of the first self-created magic weapon as a second-order high-grade defensive magic weapon shield.
However, the full set of equipment he designed for the Zhou family battle hall monks was five pieces of magic weapon equipment, including flying swords, shields, inner armor, iron armor, and puppet beasts, as well as at least ten second-order high-grade spirit runes with different functions.
A seventh-level Qi cultivation cultivator equipped with these five pieces of equipment and spirit runes can easily kill a second-order high-grade demon beast or an ordinary Qi cultivation ninth-level casual cultivator.
This is just the combat power of a single monk, and the Zhou family battle hall monks that Zhou Yang expected will also be equipped with a second-order high-grade formation in the future, so that as long as there are nine late-stage Qi cultivation monks who have laid down the second-order high-grade formation, even ordinary early-stage foundation building monks will be unable to get them in a short period of time.
