Chapter 240: Where to Go?
"It's finally back!"
Outside the Yuquan Lake Oasis, Zhou Yang looked at this land where he was born and raised, and let out a long sigh with emotion on his face.
At this time, it had been seventeen months since he set out from Rhino Horn Island!
In the absence of a map reference and the lack of a specific route, his journey home can be described as a twist and turn.
During this period, he flew the wrong route and got lost, I don't know how many times, and the unjust roads he flew over added up to at least millions of miles!
If it weren't for the large number of spirit stones and Bigu Dan he was carrying, I am afraid that he would eventually starve to death and die of thirst in the vast sea of sand.
But now, that's a thing of the past.
In the end, he managed to overcome all the difficulties and successfully returned to the family.
"I don't know what the situation is now, whether Old Ancestor Cao has returned to Huangshamen!"
Zhou Yang thought about this in his heart, and his excitement quickly calmed down.
The reason why he went back to the family directly instead of going to Huangshamen was because he was worried that if the situation was unclear, he would cause trouble if he came to the door rashly.
"Xiao Jiu, you can be regarded as back!"
"You haven't heard from you for so long, if it weren't for the fact that the soul card you left in the family was normal, the old man and your father would have been tempted to go to Huangshamen to ask Cao Laozu to help find you!"
On Yuquan Peak, Zhou Minghan, who was sitting here, saw Zhou Yang return safely, and his originally gloomy mood, like the clouds opening to see the sun, suddenly dispersed, and his face was indescribably happy.
Zhou Yang has had a hard time for more than a year, and those of them who are concerned about Zhou Yang are not it!
The news that came from Huangshamen, and the news that came from the mouths of some monks who had returned from Rhino Horn Continent, each of them made those of them who were waiting for the return of their relatives tremble and worry.
Just like Zhou Minghan himself said, if it weren't for the fact that Zhou Yang's soul card left in the family had been good, and the situation in the Boundless Sand Sea Immortal Cultivation Realm was not optimistic, they really couldn't help but send someone to find it.
"The grandson's unfilial piety worries my great-grandfather and father. ”
Zhou Yang bowed to the old man with an apologetic face, his heart was warm and very moved.
Zhou Minghan has always shown a calm and majestic image, but now he reveals his true feelings in front of him, revealing such a look, which shows the old man's love for him.
"Don't talk about that, as long as you come back, it's good to come back!"
Zhou Minghan shook his head with a smile, and didn't want to say more about these children's affections.
Then he looked at Zhou Yang with a solemn face and said: "Originally, Xiao Jiu, you just came back, and I should have asked you to accompany your father and your Taoist couple, but now the immortal cultivation world has changed too much, and there are some things that urgently need to be known and decided by you, and the old man can only occupy some of your time first." ”
When Zhou Yang heard this, he immediately nodded and said, "It's important to get down to business, great-grandfather, please talk about it." ”
Next, Zhou Minghan came out with all the major events that happened during Zhou Yang's absence.
It turned out that when Zhou Yang was still looking for his way home in the vast sea of sand, some monks were lucky enough to return to their families and sects one step ahead of him.
After these people came back and learned that Cao Wenjin was seriously injured and recuperated from his injuries, and passed on the news of Zhang Yunpeng and his wife, they no longer had any scruples to publicize what happened on the Rhino Horn Continent.
The results can be imagined how much of a wave it caused.
Originally, the various families complained about Huangshamen's forcible recruitment of their own foundation building monks to expedition to Rhino Horn Continent, but now the foundation building monks and Zifu monks who supported the foundation of the family's survival have fallen out like this, and Huangshamen still does not give any compensation, and the anger in their hearts can be imagined how strong it is.
If Cao Wenjin was not seriously injured and his strength was intact, even if the rulers of these family forces were angry, they would not dare to make any mistakes, so they could only record this hatred and report it later.
But now Cao Wenjin is said to be so seriously injured that he can't even get out of the cave, and it is very likely that he has passed away.
Regardless of whether this news is true or not, it has given those angry families the courage to suppress their anger and dare not do anything.
However, the real reason for these people's determination to resist the "tyranny" of Huangshamen came from the turmoil within Huangshamen.
Cao Wenjin's original worries were right, after Luo Yunqing and Guo Shuyun, the two Purple Mansion cultivators, returned to the sect, they were indeed very dissatisfied with the fact that he directly handed over the fifth-order demon pill to Jiang Yuyan for refining and passing on the throne to Zhang Yunpeng.
The fifth-order demon pill they desperately snatched was just free of the right to use it, but how could Zhang Yunpeng be able to surpass them as the head of the family?
In terms of seniority and seniority, whether it is Luo Yunqing, who has been guarding the sect all the year round, or Guo Shuyun, who has been serving as the master of the general affairs hall and working hard for the sect, they all think that they are more suitable for the position of head than Zhang Yunpeng, who is dedicated to cultivation.
Therefore, when the two of them asked to meet Cao Wenjin and seek justice, Zhang Yunpeng and his wife refused, the two of them left the mountain gate of Huangshamen with some disciples and descendants of the bloodline, and occupied a fourth-order spiritual mountain that originally belonged to Huangshamen, and directly became the emperor of the soil, no longer obeying the orders of the sect, and no longer paying taxes to the sect.
Among them, Luo Yunqing even returned the relics of the monks of each family that he had collected at the beginning to the families of those monks intact, buying people's hearts.
When those families saw this, they also reciprocated the favor, and issued statements one after another that they would no longer recognize the orthodox status of Zhang Yunpeng and his wife, and only recognized Luo Yunqing as the new head of Huangshamen, and only paid tribute to Luo Yunqing in the future.
The practices of these families, in the eyes of Zhang Yunpeng and his wife, are tantamount to betrayal.
If it weren't for Cao Wenjin's special advice before the retreat, and Jiang Yuyan was busy refining the "Outer Dao Golden Pill" and couldn't pull away, the two would definitely come directly to a certain family and use the lives of their entire clan monks to tell those betrayers what the price of betrayal was.
But the truth is, they can do nothing but issue a stern statement warning the traitors.
And their move to show weakness gave some watchers greater confidence, so that more families chose to cut off contact with Huangshamen and no longer be vassals of Huangshamen.
Of course, these families do not include the Zhou family, the high-level officials of the Zhou family all know that Zhou Yang and Cao Wenjin have a close relationship, and this time the Zhou family except for Huang Yi, who does not know whether he is alive or dead, Zhou Yang and Zhou Yuanchen, who went on an expedition to Rhino Horn Continent together, have survived, so they naturally will not rashly stand in line.
However, they did not stand in line and refused to make any statement on breaking away from Huangshamen, in the eyes of Luo Yunqing and others, they undoubtedly supported Zhang Yunpeng and his wife.
Because of this reason, now the monks of the Zhou family have been recalled by Zhou Minghan to the family, and even the shops in Baishahefang City have been temporarily closed, for fear of being murdered by the monks of Luo Yunqing's forces.
After listening to Zhou Minghan's story, Zhou Yang had a lot of thoughts in his heart, and after thinking for a while, he looked at Zhou Minghan and asked, "What about the Chen family, what is the situation of the Chen family and the Yang family?"
"The Chen family's reaction is rather strange, obviously the ancestor of the Chen family fell on the Rhino Horn Continent because of Huangshamen, and they have Chen Ping'an, a Purple Mansion monk, but they have no intention of resisting Huangshamen, nor have they recalled the Chen family members in Huangshamen. ”
"As for the Yang family, Yang Xingyan, the head of the Yang family, failed to open up the Purple Mansion and hurt his soul, and now he doesn't dare to act rashly, and he is still waiting. ”
Zhou Minghan slowly said the situation of the Chen and Yang families, and then looked directly at Zhou Yang with both eyes and asked, "The situation is roughly like this now, according to Xiao Jiu, in your opinion, where should our Zhou family go in the future?"
Where should the Zhou family go?
In Zhou Yang's view, this is not a problem.
His eyes flashed, and he whispered to Zhou Minghan and replied:
"I want to teach my great-grandfather to know that during this expedition to Rhino Horn Continent, Cao Laozu once told his grandson that if his grandson could survive the battle of Rhino Horn Continent and return to his family this time, he would give a big gift to his grandson and the Zhou family. ”
Now that my grandson has returned safely, it is naturally time to go to his old man's house to receive this great gift. ”
"Where should my Zhou family go, when my grandson goes to Huangshamen to see Cao Laozu, it will naturally be clear!"
"There is such a thing!"
Zhou Minghan looked at Zhou Yang with a surprised expression, shocked by the news he revealed.
Although he knew that the relationship between Zhou Yang and Cao Wenjin was not ordinary, he never expected that Cao Wenjin would value Zhou Yang so much.
He immediately expressed his stance and said: "Since Cao Laozu values you Xiao Jiu so much, then our Zhou family really can't betray Huangshamen, this matter will be left to you to decide, no matter what decision you make, the old man will support you unconditionally!"
"Great-grandfather Xie trusts, and grandchildren will not let you down. ”
Zhou Yang nodded gratefully, and was very moved by Zhou Minghan's trust.
The Zhou family can have today, of course, it is inseparable from his contributions, but without Zhou Minghan's unreserved trust and 100% support, it would never be possible to have such a strong Zhou family today.
Without Zhou Minghan's trust, Zhou Yang wanted to change the rules of his ancestors and reform the family system drastically, how could it be so easy.
Seeing this, Zhou Minghan couldn't help but smile lightly: "Okay, then this matter is settled, about Xiao Jiu's return, the old man will first let the clansmen keep their mouths shut and not reveal it, and then you will rest in the family for a month, accompany your father and Taoist couple more, and after you have rested, it is not too late to go to Huangshamen to meet Cao Laozu!"
Of course, Zhou Yang was very moved by Zhou Minghan's understanding, but he shook his head and said: "It won't take that long, after the grandson goes to see his father and Ying'er, he will go to Huangshamen to meet Cao Laozu after a few days of rest, this matter will be done one day earlier, and he will be at ease one day earlier!"
Zhou Minghan doesn't know Cao Wenjin's character, so he can still be so optimistic.
But he who has dealt with Cao Wenjin a lot, but he knows that even if this Cao Ancestor has fallen as rumored to be, he must be on the verge of sitting.
Otherwise, with the character of this ancestor, he would not let Luo Yunqing and his ilk jump like this.
Therefore, he must meet Cao Wenjin before he sits down, and before he sits down, he must make a large investment for the Zhou family and the Zhou family!
