Cultivating Immortals in the Family: Rising from Beast Familiarity

Chapter 127 Conservative policy, the flames of war 【Subscription】

When encountering a major event involving the fate of all monks in the entire family, the patriarch and the elders must discuss and make decisions together, with the consent of the elders.

This is the rule of the Zhou family, and it is also the rule of many sect families.

With the existence of this rule, it is possible to avoid things that cause heavy losses to the entire family or the entire sect due to one person's inconsideration.

If the decision made after everyone's discussion still caused heavy losses to the family and sect, then the responsibility would not be attributed to a single person, but to be shared by all decision-makers.

In this way, the patriarch and the head of the family will not be forced to step down after a certain decision-making error caused the family sect to suffer heavy losses.

So no matter whether it was discussing who to send to Yunzhou to apply for the recruitment before, or now discussing how to deal with the partial teacher of the Hualong Sect who sneaked into Lanzhou, Zhou Daoyi and Zhou Chun, the patriarch and acting patriarch, immediately called the family elders over Hold a meeting to discuss.

At this moment, facing the question Zhou Chun posed, the elders of the Zhou family also frowned, revealing expressions of contemplation.

It is a matter of the future and safety of the entire family, so they cannot be taken carelessly.

After contemplating for a long time like this, the Fifth Elder Zhou Jiahe was the first to speak: "I think that the impact of this matter on my Zhou family should not be as great as that of other families."

"Currently, there are only two properties outside my Zhou family's mountain gate. One is the Chiyao iron ore vein, and the other is the shops in Hongyafang City."

"Not to mention the shops in Fangshi, we can ship a few months more inventory to see the subsequent changes in the situation."

"As for the Chiyao iron ore vein, after years of mining, there should not be much profit. If it is really attacked, it doesn't matter if you give up."

"So as long as we guard the mountain gate well, prevent the masters of the Dragon Sect from sneaking into the mountain gate to cause damage, and try to control the number of times the clansmen go out, there should be no problems!"

Although the elders of the Zhou family don't usually take part in the management of family affairs, most of them know the general situation of the family well, and they can come to Zhongping Hall to check the documents at any time to learn about the family situation.

This not only allows them to supervise the patriarch, but also facilitates suggestions and opinions when discussing matters.

Therefore, after Zhou Jiahe expressed his opinion at this moment, the other two elders couldn't help but nodded slightly to express their agreement.

However, after Zhou Chun heard Zhou Jiahe's words, he frowned and said, "The Fifth Elder's words are not unreasonable, but our Zhou family has little business outside the home, and our external dependence is not small."

"Whether it's the materials for refining various elixirs, or supplying some special ingredients that monsters eat, as well as finished elixirs, talismans, etc., they must be purchased from outsiders."

"If those members of the Dragon Transformation Sect really focus on this, the family's loss will still not be small!"

A big power will not allow itself to have certain shortcomings in certain aspects, and is committed to self-sufficiency, which is what many big powers are working hard to do.

But that is something considered by the big forces with a long heritage and a vast territory.

It is impossible for a cultivating family like the Zhou family, especially a cultivating family that has only taken root in the local area for more than ten years, to be self-sufficient.

It is simply impossible to achieve self-production for raw materials alone.

The reason why the Zhou family is still using the good deeds system is because most of the family's income is used to purchase resources.

Moreover, there are many suppliers of these resources, half of which come from the purchase of Fangshi, and half of which come from other cultivating families and loose cultivators.

Some resources are delivered to your door, while others need to be picked up by someone.

So it is also a very big reason why we can't easily close the mountain and close the door.

"Zhengchun, what you said is also reasonable, but the family's savings should be able to last for a few months, right? I think these few months should be enough to make the situation in Lanzhou clear, Yunzhou The battle situation over there should also change."

"In short, we don't send people out, but we don't refuse others to deliver goods. If we deal with it like this, others won't be able to find any serious problems."

It was the Second Elder Zhou Chongshan who said these words.

He had acted as the head of the clan several times before, and he had a better understanding of the family situation than the other two new elders present.

Moreover, he can be said to be a conservative of the Zhou family, and he is more conservative in certain decision-making aspects.

However, as the only member of the "Chong" generation in the Zhou family, his speech is still very influential. Even the patriarch Zhou Daoyi sometimes fully considers his identity and face.

So at this time, the Fourth Elder Zhou Jiarui also looked at Zhou Chun and said: "Zhengchun, do you have any better suggestions? If not, I also think that the suggestions of the Second Elder and the Fifth Elder are good, and I can invite the Supreme Elder." decision."

Zhou Chun originally had some ideas.

But now seeing that the opinions of several elders have almost reached a consensus, he doesn't want to mention it anymore.

After all, the acting patriarch is only an agent and has not yet become a regular.

If you don't become a regular one day, you may lose the opportunity to become a regular one day because of a major mistake.

Therefore, although Zhou Chun felt that the suggestions of the elders were somewhat conservative, for his own sake, he decided to play it safe and say nothing more.

From this aspect, he is still a little selfish, unable to serve the public wholeheartedly.

But how many people in this world can have no selfishness?

People who are dedicated to the public are certainly admired, but they are only admired.

As a cultivator, seeking Tao and longevity is the first and most important thing in life.

Therefore, when it is beneficial to this major event, it should be private first and then public, and private interests should be greater than public interests.

So Zhou Chun was also selfish and frank at this time, and said directly without any guilt: "Your junior has no objections, then please ask the second elder to meet the Supreme Elder and explain this matter!"

"Okay, the old man is going to see the Supreme Elder."

Zhou Chongshan responded, and immediately went to the cave on the top of Pagoda Peak to meet the Supreme Elder Zhou Mingde.

In fact, the matter of meeting the Supreme Elder Zhou Mingde should have been done by acting patriarch Zhou Chun.

But I don't know why, although the patriarch Zhou Daoyi often said that the elder Zhou Mingde appreciated him very much, very much.

But Zhou Chun had never had the opportunity to meet that Supreme Elder Zhou Mingde alone.

Even if he became acting patriarch this time, the matter of reporting to Supreme Elder Zhou Mingde was handed over to Second Elder Zhou Chongshan.

Regarding this point, Zhou Chun has not used any ideas in his mind.

But Taishang Elder Zhou Mingde is the Zhou family's pinnacle of calming the sea, even if he has some thoughts in his heart, he dare not reveal anything.

He can only comfort himself that his cultivation level is not good enough to have a face-to-face dialogue with the cultivators of Zi Fuqi.

They didn't make Zhou Chun and the others wait any longer. After Zhou Chongshan left for about an hour, he brought back the Supreme Elder Zhou Mingde's decision.

"The Supreme Elder basically agreed with our suggestion, allowing us to follow this plan, and he will always be ready to make a move!"

Hearing this, Zhou Chundang immediately said: "Then let's do it this way, this junior will arrange manpower to notify all parties to cooperate and complete the contraction as soon as possible."

So as soon as the elders left, he issued several orders in succession, asking some clansmen to leave Jiufengling with letters, and go to various forces that cooperated with the Zhou family to convey information.

Among them, the Wang family of Hongyaogu, the Mu family of Biyun Mountain, the Sun family of Jinfengling, and the He family of Qingzhushan. Mineral plans.

Anyway, he has already done what he can do, and what other families think and do has nothing to do with him.

In the following time, because of the infiltrating of Lanzhou by Hualongjiao partial teachers, all the major cultivating families in Lanzhou also felt like they were all soldiers.

There are quite a few families that adopt conservative strategies like the Zhou family.

Especially those families that are deeply involved with Qinglian Guan, there are quite a few families that have directly closed the mountain and closed their doors.

It is not difficult to see from this that Hualong Cult's extermination of families in Yunzhou against those families closely related to Qinglianguan really played a great deterrent effect.

Now the ruling foundation of Qinglian Temple has indeed been greatly shaken.

At the same time, a reinforcement army from Qinglian Temple rushed to Lanzhou from Lianzhou, and quickly stationed in Hongyafang City.

To Zhou Chun's delight, Liu Shiyun's master, Taoist Mingxia, was also among the reinforcements.

Ever since they established a relationship with Taoist Mingxia by relying on the data sheets of the members of the Hualong Sect, the Zhou family has not stopped offering sacrifices to this monk from Qinglian Guanzi Mansion over the years.

For example, more than half of the spiritual honey produced by the Zhou family [Jasper Spirit Bee] was given to this Qinglian Guankun Dao as a gift, and a growth package was specially formulated for its spirit beast, and human beings were arranged every few months. Send corresponding supplies.

Although Taoist Mingxia did not promise anything to the Zhou family because of these things.

But since she accepted the things, she must show something in the future.

Otherwise, if she can only get in but not out, not to mention how annoyed the Zhou family will be, and after the news is passed out, other forces will not dare to have any expectations of her, which is tantamount to cutting off their own money.

So now that Taoist Mingxia has come to Lanzhou, there is no doubt that there is another strong support for the Zhou family.

From now on, the safety of the mountain gate can be completely relieved.

The arrival of Taoist Mingxia and others shows that Qinglian Temple still attaches great importance to Lanzhou, which is an important place in the rear. This also makes the various cultivating families who were originally panicked feel affirmed and relieved a lot.

Some families closer to Hongyafang City have resumed normal activities.

But the danger is actually approaching quietly!
In a gathering place for casual cultivators in Lanzhou, a majestic middle-aged man in a black robe was listening to his subordinates' reports.

The black robe on the man's body was embroidered with dragon patterns with fine gold threads. This was the Dharma Protector robe of the Hualong Sect, indicating that he was a black dragon guardian of the Hualong Sect.

"My lord protector, the information on all the cultivating families in Lanzhou has been collected and investigated. According to your request, we have listed the families that are most suitable as targets. Please have a look."

I saw a black dragon envoy who was also wearing a black robe with a dragon pattern embroidered with thin silver threads kneeling on the ground, respectfully handing a booklet to the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man took the booklet, and after flipping through a few pages, his gaze stayed on one of the pages.

Then he said lightly: "Just this Biyun Mountain Mu's family, who told them that the gate of the mountain is not far from the lake!"

"Yes, this subordinate will arrange it."

The half-kneeling black dragon envoy on the ground looked solemn, and after another salute, he quietly retreated to prepare.

Two days later, dozens of disciples of the Hualong Sect suddenly appeared beside the originally beautiful Biyun Lake, and the leader was a black dragon protector who had cultivated in the purple mansion!
The monks of the Mu family who discovered this were immediately startled, and desperately sounded the alarm.

I only heard the bells of "dong dong dong" ringing one after another, and within half a quarter of an hour, there were 81, [-], [-] rings!
This is the sound of the highest level alarm bell, which means that the family has encountered a crisis of extinction, and even the monks who are in the closed door will all be awakened by the door at this time, and they will come out to meet the enemy.

At the same time, a gorgeous magical firework exploded directly from the sky above Biyun Mountain, turning into a huge blood-colored lotus pattern.

The huge explosion of fireworks, and the blood-colored lotus pattern hanging in the sky two or three thousand feet high, were seen and heard within a radius of two hundred miles around Biyun Mountain.

"Father, father, it has appeared, the blood lotus pattern you mentioned has appeared in the sky!"

In a certain mountain village hundreds of miles southwest of Biyun Mountain, a teenage youth wearing coarse sackcloth suddenly ran into the room with a face full of shock, and loudly talked about the vision of the sky outside to his old father who was paralyzed and lying on the bed inside. .

"What did you say? Quick, carry me out!!"

The old man on the bed was stunned for a moment, then his face suddenly changed, he hurriedly struggled with both hands to lift the quilt, and asked the young man to carry him out.

When he walked out the door on the young man's back and saw the huge blood lotus pattern in the sky in the distance, two lines of clear tears flowed from the old man's eyes.

"Dad, why are you crying?"

After the young man felt the coolness on his neck, he asked a little puzzled.

"Because Dad's house is going to be gone! The house is going to be gone!!"

The old man wept bitterly, then grabbed the young man by the collar, and said loudly: "Quick, go and take that jar out of my bedside cabinet!"

"Oh, dad, don't talk about it, I know, I'll do it now."

The young man let out a cry of pain, put the old man down hastily, turned around and went to the room, took out a black porcelain altar wrapped in a quilt, and put it in front of the old man.

"Go get a torch."

The old man looked at the porcelain altar in front of him, and said his request again.

Then, when the young man was going to fetch the fire, he carefully opened the moisture-proof cloth cover on the porcelain altar and looked at the contents inside.

I saw that inside the porcelain jar was a dark brown granular substance, which was half full.

At this time, the young man came over with a torch and shouted, "Father, here comes the torch you want."

The old man reached out to take the torch from the young man, looked at his face that looked so much like his when he was young, and said with a rare smile: "Son, do you still remember the Mujiazhuang that Dad took you to three years ago? "

"Of course I remember, Dad, why did you suddenly mention this?"

The young man nodded and looked at the old man with a puzzled face.

Hearing the words, the old man immediately said in a deep voice: "Then you go to Mu's Village now and tell the owner there that your father and I have completed our mission, and you can stay there from now on!"

Then he waved his hand and said, "Don't ask any more questions, just do what I tell you, and someone will tell you everything!"

"What about you, dad?"

The young man seemed to realize something, and looked at the old man with a worried face.

But the old man suddenly smiled at him and said: "Your father and I should have gone down to accompany your mother long ago, but the task entrusted to me by the family, I am not allowed to end it myself!"

"It's all right now, your father and I have completed our mission, and I can finally go down to accompany your mother with peace of mind!"

After speaking, he put the torch in his hand into the porcelain altar in front of him.

Immediately, a pungent smell emanated from the porcelain altar, and then a thick black smoke rose from the porcelain altar, and soon formed a smoke column as high as hundreds of feet.

And as the smoke column rose, the people who saw the smoke column tens of miles away, and those who had the same mission as the old man, quickly lit the beacon smoke.

This wave of beacon smoke spread to all places, and within an hour, the same beacon smoke also appeared near Jiufengling, hundreds of miles away.

At the same time, the news that the Mu family in Biyun Mountain was in danger of being wiped out quickly reached the ears of the patriarchs of the families with whom they had good relationships with the appearance of these beacons.

Including the monk Qinglian Temple in Hongyafang City, also received the news very quickly.

"It turned out that the Mu family stepped on this thunder first!"

On the Pagoda Peak, Zhou Chun flew into the air, looking at the smoke column rising dozens of miles away, with a complicated expression on his face.
