Chapter 383: Don't Forget the Original Heart!
Both parents are dead, and the fate is gone.
In other words, those sect monks, after encountering this situation, can return to the sect cave mansion to cultivate with peace of mind, and pursue the Great Dao wholeheartedly.
To be honest, when Zhou Yang looked back on his life at his parents' graves, he also had similar thoughts.
After all, after Zhou Xuanhao sat down, he really didn't have any blood relatives in the Zhou family, and now those monks in the Zhou family, the people whose blood was closest to him, were at least seven or eight generations apart.
And what he has done for the Zhou family in this life is completely worthy of the Zhou family's cultivation of him, even if he leaves, he can have no psychological obstacles.
However, everything in this world cannot be measured by the word "profit".
The Zhou family can have today, it is inseparable from Zhou Yang's efforts, he has been busy for hundreds of years for this family, and single-handedly led the small family of three or two big cats and kittens to the first great immortal cultivation family in the boundless sand sea immortal cultivation world with a population of hundreds of monks.
This family is soaked in his heart and soul, and he has lived in this family for most of his life.
If he wants to leave this family behind and go on a long journey and wander alone, he can't do it, and he can't do it!
Although it is very inappropriate to describe it in this way, the actual situation is that the Zhou family is like his child to Zhou Yang.
For hundreds of years, he personally raised this emaciated child who was about to starve to death, little by little, watched him grow into a mighty and majestic adult, and watched him become a giant existence that others need to look up to step by step.
Now, if he suddenly withdraws away, this mighty and majestic adult man will fall down as if he has been pulled off his backbone, and he will never be able to get up again.
This is obviously something he absolutely cannot accept.
If that really happens, what is the point of his hundreds of years of struggle and perseverance?
"Father, mother, and the old patriarch, rest assured, as long as the child is still in one day, the Zhou family will never be allowed to decline, and we will never let our hard work go to waste!"
In the cemetery of the Zhou family, Zhou Yang, who had been sleeping here for three days without eating or drinking, suddenly knelt down on his knees facing the tomb of his parents, knocked his head three times in a row, and made a vow in a deep voice.
Then he got up and left the cemetery, and began to take charge of the mourning and mourning.
After being so busy for a month, Zhou Xuanhao's funeral was completed.
The Zhou family monk, who had only been busy for a month, couldn't get any time to rest, and immediately devoted himself to the preparation of the big auction.
Zhou Yang attaches great importance to this big auction, and he wants to emulate the big auction in Xianyang City, and hold a big auction every thirty years in the future.
And if this auction is to become an influential event like the Xianyang City Auction, whether this first time is held is particularly important.
Only the treasures auctioned at this big auction are satisfying, and the next big auction will make people look forward to and yearn for it.
To this end, Zhou Yang not only scavenged his own and the Zhou family's savings, but also prepared a series of treasures that could be used from the Qi training period to the Purple Mansion period for the big auction, and personally refined the talismans and refined a batch of high-quality third-order magic weapons and third-order magic talismans for auction.
In addition, Xiao Ying and Zhou Guangxiang also specially refined some third-order elixirs and third-order array disks with unique medicinal effects for the cultivators of the foundation building period.
Time passed quickly, and soon it was less than three days before the Zhou family's determined time for the big auction, and the monks who came to participate in the auction from all parties stayed in the palace specially built by the Zhou family outside Liuyunfang City.
Of course, if someone doesn't care about the spirit stone, they can still live in the immortal stack run by the Zhou family in Fang City.
At this time, in Liuyunfang City, because of the arrival of a large number of monks, all the shops in Fang City took out the fine treasures that had been prepared for this big auction a long time ago, and wanted to get a piece of the pie at this grand event.
The Zhou family also set aside a large area in the west square of Fang City as a temporary trading market in due course, and anyone only needs to pay a lower grade spirit stone to set up a stall in it for a day.
At the same time, on Chihu Mountain, where Zhou's family is located, an apprenticeship ceremony is being held.
A few years ago, when Zhou Yang accepted Lu Xuewei as an apprentice, he said that he would take advantage of the popularity attracted by this big auction and invite monks from all walks of life to come over to witness the ceremony, and now he will naturally not break his promise.
At this time, two or three years later, Lu Xuewei has grown into an eleven-year-old Tingting girl.
At this time, after several years of study in the Zhou Family Academy, she had realized what an honor it was to become Zhou Yang's first apprentice.
In order to let people know that they can afford this glory, she has been preparing for today's apprenticeship ceremony for a long time, and has practiced the process countless times in advance, and she is afraid that if she makes a mistake at the ceremony site, she will lose Zhou Yang's face and let others make irresponsible remarks.
"Xue Wei, do you now know what a blessing and glory it is to be able to worship under Senior Zhou's seat?"
"In the future, you must be obedient and sensible under the seat of Senior Zhou, you must learn to respect the teacher, you will do what the master tells you to do, and you must not disobey the teacher's orders!"
"If so, if you can build a foundation in the future, no one in our old Lu family will dare to bully anymore!"
On Chihu Mountain, the head of the Lu family, who came from afar with several children and grandchildren to watch the ceremony, took advantage of the fact that the apprenticeship ceremony had not yet begun, and pulled his daughter with a happy face and earnestly advised, his eyes were full of ardent expectation.
Over the years, not only Lu Xuewei has tasted the benefits of being Zhou Yang's apprentice, but their Lu family has also tasted enough sweetness.
First of all, the various families that originally oppressed their Lu family no longer dared to speak up, not only did they not dare to speak up, but some of those who had offended their family too deeply even sent people to apologize.
The little Lu family, how could they have such an honor to be able to make the Zhuji family apologize to their own family!
At the same time, after the news spread that Lu Xuewei had become the great disciple of Zhou Yang's Kaishan, the attitude of the scattered cultivators and families who originally looked down on them from a small family like the Lu family changed by 360 degrees.
In the past, when their Lu family monks went out to do business, selling and selling the spirit valley and spirit grass planted in their own spirit mountain, or other materials obtained from hunting demon beasts, they would always be depressed by various prices.
Now as long as they identify themselves, many shops are rushing to collect their goods.
Where all these changes came from, the head of the Lu family couldn't be clearer in his heart.
Originally, he had always been angry about sending his daughter to the Zhou family in his heart, and he was depressed.
But now, more than anyone else, he is worried about the problems of his daughter entering Zhou Yang's seat.
"Okay, okay, dad, don't worry, these daughters understand, how many times have you said it. ”
Lu Xuewei is still a girl who is not deeply involved in the world after all, and today's grand scene makes her feel quite psychologically stressed, and her father's nagging advice is a little upset in her ears, and she can't help but feel a little unhappy in her words.
"Hey, you kid, I'm doing this for your own good, don't you ......" The head of the Lu family sighed, and wanted to say something more, but at this time, Zhou Guangxiang, who presided over the apprenticeship ceremony, had already called out Lu Xuewei's name.
Seeing this, he could only remain silent, watching his excited daughter walk towards Zhou Yang with an apprenticeship ceremony.
It is a very important thing for immortal cultivators to accept disciples, and the ritual of apprenticeship is equally important.
First of all, the disciple should first perform three kneels and nine bows to the master, and swear to the heavenly alliance not to betray the teacher, deceive the teacher, kill the teacher and other things that deceive the teacher and destroy the ancestors, and then recite a "disciple rule", the content is nothing more than some words of respecting the teacher and respecting the way and loving the same door.
At the same time, as a master, when the disciple apprentices, he will emphasize some of his own rules, and the apprentice must not hesitate to answer affirmative words such as "can" and "yes".
When all these procedures were completed, Zhou Yang stood up from the Taishi chair, walked to Lu Xuewei who was kneeling in front of him, reached out and took the apprenticeship ceremony she was holding and placed it on the table aside, helped her up with a serious face, and said solemnly: "Since you have decided to worship me as a teacher, and are willing to abide by my rules, today I will ask all Taoist friends to be a witness, I, Zhou Yang, accept Zhou Guangwei as my big disciple today, inherit the mantle, and tell the Quartet!"
"Meet the master in vain!"
Lu Xuewei (Zhou Guangwei) knelt down again, kowtowed heavily, and since then, the status of the two masters and apprentices has been completely decided.
They had a certain title, and the monks who watched the ceremony came up in turn to congratulate them according to their status.
"Hahaha, congratulations to Zhou Daoyou for getting a good apprentice, the disciple is extraordinary, the purple mansion can be expected in the future, Jindan is expected, and there is a successor to the Zhou family!"
Zhang Yunpeng, as the head of the Huangsha Sect and a ninth-layer monk of the Purple Mansion, was naturally the person with the highest status among the monks who watched the ceremony, and when he waited for the completion of the apprenticeship ceremony, he was the first to laugh loudly and come forward to congratulate.
Looking at his smiling face, those who don't know the inside story really thought that he was happy that he had accepted an apprentice with excellent talent for Zhou Yang.
But in fact, those who knew that Huang Shamen had also beaten Lu Xuewei's idea were all laughing secretly in their hearts at this time.
These people are also envious and jealous that Zhou Yang accepted such a talented apprentice as Lu Xuewei, but if they were to choose, they would rather cheapen Zhou Yang than Huangshamen.
For these people, the stronger the Huangshamen, the more difficult their life will be in the future.
Over the years, with the reduction and decline of the power of the Huangsha Gate, the various immortal cultivation families have fully tasted the benefits, and no one wants to see the Huangsha Gate, which dominated the entire Boundless Sand Sea Immortal Cultivation Realm, reappear.
With the decline of the Huangshamen, it is necessary to win over these immortal cultivation families and give them benefits in order to stabilize the situation.
If the Huangshamen was as strong as when Cao Wenjin was there, their immortal cultivation families would be like the beginning, and they would have to send the pillars of the family to listen to the order, even if they knew that they were going to die.
The Yellow Sand Gate, the first sect of the Boundless Sand Sea Immortal Cultivation Realm, and the Zhou family, the first great immortal cultivator family of the Boundless Sand Sea Immortal Cultivation Realm, the discord between these two forces is what all other immortal cultivation families are willing to see.
Even in order to promote this, many immortal cultivators were still willing to bring treasure spirit stones to participate in knowing the Zhou family's intention to hold a big auction this time.
In their thoughts, the more prosperous the Zhou family's auction is and the more spirit stones they earn, the more they will be jealous and jealous of Huangshamen, which will cause an irreparable rift in the relationship between the two sides.
Up to now, the signing of the "Netherworld Blood Contract" between Zhou Yang and Cao Wenjin is still a top secret among top secrets, except for him and Zhang Yunpeng and his wife, no one knows about it.
Therefore, the provocation of those with ulterior motives is destined to have no substantial gains.
