Journey to the head

Chapter 65 Zhou Family Night Talk (Added update for "HZ7z")
Lu Qian held up his wine glass and smiled: "Zhou Chao is such a big-mouthed kid, he shakes everything out. In fact, where does he get the support? In the end, he has to rely on himself..."

"Brother Lu, what you said is so right. You have to rely on yourself for everything." Zhao Xianzong slapped his thigh, "This time, your fellow Taoist Xuanjizi was injured and unable to move. I think you might as well transfer a builder from the sect. Ji Taoist can help?"

Lu Qian drank another drink: "Brother Zhao is right. I was just about to write a letter to my elders. Xuanjizi was seriously injured and needs to rest. I will stay at Zhou's house for a while longer before going to visit."

The two of them talked drunkenly on the surface, but in fact they were like mirrors in their hearts.After trying a few words, he couldn't get the exact information, so Zhao Xianzong could only curse the little fox secretly, but on the surface he was even more affectionate.

This seemingly lively banquet, but in fact everyone had their own thoughts, lasted until midnight, and finally ended when Jiang Baitao yawned profusely and fell into his sister's arms.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the Zhou family's main hall on Yuqing Mountain, a hundred miles away, was extremely solemn.

Zhou Chao sat on the main seat, his face flushed, and he held the letter sent by Lu Qian tightly in his hand.

On the lower left side of him, two Taoist Taoist priests looking at the nose and mouth looked at each other, looking like they were resting with their eyes closed.

The four elders of the first family on the lower right have different faces and excited emotions.

"No, absolutely not!" The eldest elder, Zhou Chao's cousin, spat wildly, "Chao'er, why are you so confused! The spiritual vein is the foundation of my family, how can you use the spiritual vein to communicate with that person? Where is the Yunshan sect making a deal?"

Zhou Chao suppressed his anger and said slowly: "Uncle, I have just made it clear about the cause and effect. At that time, my family was in a state of life and death. There was no other way to lend a spiritual vein in exchange for my family's rebirth. This matter still needs to be done. Do you think about it? If the Chaoshengmen breaks through the mountain gate, let alone a spiritual vein, how many lives can our entire family escape?"

Zhou Chao, the second elder of the Zhou family, spoke up: "Chao'er, don't be impatient. Your spiritual vein is the foundation of your footing. How can you borrow it from others? But you are doing it for the survival of the family. No one will blame you. Why don't we wait until Master Lu comes to our door tomorrow and we can all discuss it, as long as the two of you reach an agreement, change the contract, and renew your Dao Heart Oath."

The other two clan uncles, the third elder and the fourth elder also followed suit.

Zhou Chao gritted his teeth and said: "When a sect is established, credibility is the most important thing. If you break your promise and get fat, how can my family stand on it? Who else will trust my family in the future? After all, I have made an oath. If the leader Lu disagrees, What else can you do? Is it possible that you are going to forcefully break the contract and make me unable to make any progress in my cultivation for the rest of my life?"

The elders stopped talking now.After a period of suffocating silence, the Great Elder said solemnly: "We'd better discuss with Master Lu to change the terms. If it doesn't work, we can postpone it for a few years before lending it to him. My son Zhou Yong is relying on that spiritual vein to practice, and is about to enter the world. In the late stage of Qi training. He has the talent of dual spiritual roots. It can be said that he is the hope of the next generation of the Zhou family, so it is not good to interrupt him at this time."

Zhou Chao snorted coldly, and it turned out that this was the root cause: "Let Zhou Yong return to the main peak to practice. Isn't the second-level intermediate spiritual vein of the main peak stronger than the first-level high-level one?"

The Great Elder frowned: "Back to the main peak, hundreds of monks share such a spiritual vein, so the progress of cultivation will naturally be slow. Just let Zhou Yong use it for a few more years, and we will give the Yunshan Sect some compensation."

Zhou Chao raised his eyes and saw that the other elders were looking away.

He was just loyal, not a fool. At that moment, his heart felt cold, and a feeling of powerlessness surged deeply into his heart.

I am afraid that the branches of the Zhou family represented by these elders have already reached an agreement, and they have all taken a share of the interests in this spiritual line, and have sent their own practice seeds there.

Apart from this, are the several branches connected in other matters?After such a long time, the cultivation seeds of those branches have advanced one after another. Is it possible to gather together and repeat the disaster of the previous generation's family separation?

The more he thought about it, the more shocked he became. Why hadn't he noticed it before?What should I do now?

Lu Gan's figure suddenly appeared in front of him. Yes, yes, there is also Master Lu. If he can make good decisions, he will definitely be able to help me.I have already harmed him because of these elders, and I cannot give in at any cost this time.

Thinking like this, he opened his eyes angrily and shouted: "Uncle! You are so selfish and everything is for Zhou Yong. Have you ever considered the overall situation of the family? Well, let me ask you, the Chaosheng Sect is secretly testing, but you only know appeasement. Where was Zhou Yong at that time? When the three sects were in conflict with each other, and you shook your head and sighed, where was Zhou Yong? When the Chaoshengmen launched a massive attack, the family was about to be destroyed, and you were helpless, where was Zhou Yong?" "Even if he has the power to reach heaven, Although he has made no contribution to our family, who allowed him to monopolize his spiritual veins for cultivation?!"

These words were so harsh that several elders were stunned.Who knew that Zhou Chao, who had always been honest, could say such a thing today?
The Great Elder was still arguing, but Zhou Chao waved his hand: "Stop talking, I have made up my mind! The Yunshan Party has saved my family's life, and they are the most distinguished guests. You go and destroy the spiritual veins in the ten-mile radius tonight. Clean up and evacuate all personnel, waiting for Head Lu to receive them tomorrow. If anyone refuses to listen, don’t blame me for being merciless, please ask the two guests to come over and take them out!"

Several elders turned pale, and the elder was so angry that he was shaking all over: "Okay, okay..."

He stood up and pointed at Zhou Chao tremblingly: "Don't forget that the head of the Zhou family is still your father. You are only temporarily in charge of family affairs on your father's behalf. After all, you are not the real head of the family! You -"

The second elder tugged on his sleeves hard and licked his lips in the direction of the two guests. The first elder came back to his senses and saw the cold eyes of the two foundation-building Taoist priests, and his heart trembled.

At that moment, he stopped talking and walked away directly.Several elders smiled bitterly, and the third elder sighed: "Hey, Chao'er, we are your elders after all, and we are all for the family, how could you do this..."

Zhou Chao picked up the tea cup and stopped talking with a sullen face.Several elders looked at each other and chased away.

After seeing such a farce, the two Taoist priests looked half-smiling and retired to rest.

In the blink of an eye, only Zhou Chao was left in the hall.

He grimaced and sighed deeply.It turns out that there is an undercurrent in the family. I was busy treating my father's injuries and running for the survival of the family, and I didn't notice it at all.

He slowly walked down the steps, walked out of the main hall, passed through several courtyards, and came to the first small courtyard.

When several servants saw Zhou Chao, they hurriedly saluted. Zhou Chao waved them away, opened the heavy gauze curtain, and walked into the bedroom.

As soon as he entered the room, a strange medicinal fragrance came.

Lying on the bed was a monk who was as haggard as dry wood. He was Zhou Chao's father, Zhou Bing, the head of the Zhou family.

Multiple magic circles and rays of spiritual light condensed thick spiritual energy around the bed.A white rhinoceros horn is burning in the corner, which can make people's energy and blood comfortable.A red jade bead hung in the air, spreading warm breath to Zhou Bing.

But these warm and nourishing things have no effect.Zhou Bing's vitality is getting weaker day by day. A year ago he could barely speak a few words, but now he can't even open his eyes. It's hard to tell that he is a foundation-building Taoist priest.

Zhou Chao doesn't even know now, can his father still hear him when he speaks?
But whenever he encounters difficulties, he will come here to sit.Apart from this place in the huge Jade Green Mountain, who else can I talk to about my depression?

"Dad, my son is here to see you... something happened today..."
