Journey to the head

Chapter 74 Communication and Cooperation
"The matter of spiritual veins is only one of them. Secondly, Lotus Peak was originally covered by the Zhou family's Liuhe formation, but now that the ten-mile radius of the spiritual veins on the top of Lotus Peak has been handed over to my Yunshan sect, the Zhou family has withdrawn from Liuhe The big formation. A few fellow Taoists also saw it just now. The big formation on the peak at this moment was arranged by our Yunshan sect."

"Did they ask for your opinion before withdrawing? After withdrawing, did they invite everyone to move to the main peak of Yuqing?"

The three people understood, and anger arose in their hearts.I heard Lu Qian continue to say: "The Zhou family left you outside this mountain protection formation, so I would like to ask, next time a foreign enemy comes to attack, do you need to run back to the main peak of Yuqing Mountain to avoid it?"

Lu Gan paused, observing the different expressions of the three people, and apologized to Zhou Chao in his heart.

With Zhou Chao's character, he would not have thought of this and would have made arrangements for these monks.But things happened suddenly in the past few days. He had a fierce game with several elders, and he was so emotional. How could he have thought of so much?

The previous blocking of Lotus Peak's spiritual veins was a stupid thing done by a few elders for the cultivation seeds of their own branches.Of course, they are not stupid enough to lock it all the time and force these monks with foreign surnames away. They will definitely open it up again after those few seeds break through.

However, the monks of the Zhou family, especially the elders, always suppressed and pushed back the demands of these monks with foreign surnames, and refused to explain properly with a contemptuous attitude, but gave Lu Gan an opportunity to take advantage of them.

Sorry, Zhou Chao, since you can't make a decision, can't give them a thunderous blow, and can't be a qualified teammate, then for the Yunshan Sect, I can only give you a loose corner of the Zhou family.

"From these two points, I, an outsider who has just arrived here a few days ago, can tell that you monks with foreign surnames are in a bad situation. Are you still in the dark?"

At this moment, the faces of the three of them were extremely ugly, and an embarrassing silence filled the air.

"What Master Lu said is right." Wu Zhilan suddenly spoke and said angrily, "We monks with foreign surnames are the nourishment of the Zhou family."

"Junior Sister Wu, be careful what you say!" Although Shen Shan was also embarrassed and embarrassed, he still kept calm. When he heard Wu Zhilan openly criticizing the Zhou family, he quickly stopped her.

But Wu Zhilan stared at him, suddenly with tears in her eyes: "Senior Brother Shen, we monks with foreign surnames always work the hardest and get the least. We are always the ones who are scolded and punished and take the blame. This means That’s all. But as long as the monks among us make some progress in cultivation and stand out a little bit, they will take notice of them. Men will have to marry into the family, and women will have to marry into the family. All those with higher cultivation levels will be included in the Zhou family. . And those with higher cultivation levels are often willing to do this for the sake of their own future. Many of them even look forward to being favored by the Zhou family every day. So as of now, among the 40 of us, there are only seven in the middle stage of Qi training. .”

"Junior Sister Wu, this is an internal matter within the Zhou family and is not suitable to be discussed here."

Shen Shan still tried to stop him, but Wu Zhilan pushed Shen Shan's arm: "When I talked to you in the past, you always pretended to be deaf and dumb. Senior Brother Shen, do you know that I have been visited twice by the third elder of the Zhou family? , let me marry his nephew Zhou Ang!"

Chen Shan immediately stayed where he was, staring blankly at Wu Zhilan. His face suddenly turned red, and he couldn't even distinguish the occasion. He grabbed her hands and said in a trembling voice: "You, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Wu Zhilan said angrily: "Don't I want to say it? Every time I want to bring it up, you change the topic and only shrink back and avoid it. How can I say it?"

She looked directly into Shen Shan's eyes and her voice trembled: "We are the nourishment of the Zhou family. Either throw away your freedom and become a member of the Zhou family. If you don't agree, you will be suppressed in every possible way. If the third elder comes to find you next time, I’m afraid I can’t hold on anymore…”

"No!" Chen Shan said angrily, "You can't agree, I won't allow you to agree!" Wu Zhilan bit her lip: "Oh? Then in what capacity do you not agree?"

Lu Qian listened to the conversation becoming more and more crooked, and rolled his eyes in his heart.What's going on with these two people?We have already started a drama of bitterness, is it possible that we will have to reveal our true feelings to each other next?

Zheng Duan finally regained consciousness and shouted quickly: "Two fellow Taoists! Pay attention to the occasion. We are guests of the Yunshan Sect, so don't lose etiquette!"

Wu and Shen finally woke up, stood up in a hurry, and apologized.Lu Gan waved his hands and said with amusement: "Now that these fellow Taoists have talked and have a deeper understanding of their own situations, I think our conversation can go further."

After waiting for a moment, after they had calmed down, Lu Qian chuckled and said, "Unlike the unreasonable Zhou family, I won't lock my spiritual veins. But since the two families have become neighbors, how to get along with each other in the future must be determined." Come up with a plan."

Hearing Lu Qian's promise, the three of them looked happy and nodded: "But it depends on Master Lu's orders."

"As the others have said just now, since we are neighbors, we will naturally help each other in the future. If there is an invasion by foreign enemies someday, our Yunshan faction can release the large formation and let everyone take shelter, so there is no need to run back to the main peak of Yuqing. Risking being attacked along the way.”

When several people heard this, they were even more happy, and then heard Lu Qian said: "But, although our sect is an ally with the Zhou family, there are also secrets in the sect that cannot be disclosed. Just now, fellow martial arts fellows said that many of you have sharpened your heads. Just to truly enter the Zhou family circle, I think there is no need to bring such people."

On the morning of the sixth day of September in the third year of Jiashen 360, Lu Gan, the leader of the Yunshan Sect, met with representatives of the monks with a foreign surname from the Zhou family. The two parties had cordial and friendly exchanges on further strengthening business cooperation, strengthening strategic alliances, and seeking common development, which enhanced the relationship between the two parties. The understanding and friendship between them reached a preliminary consensus.

Lu Qian said that Yuqing Mountain is everyone's Yuqing Mountain, and every monk living here has the obligation to maintain the safety and stability of Yuqing Mountain and has the right to enjoy corresponding rewards.At the same time, the monks should share weal and woe, respect each other, negotiate on an equal footing, and build Yuqingshan into a harmonious family.

The representative of the monks surnamed Zhou thanked Lu Gan for the meeting and highly appreciated the positive contributions of the Yunshan Sect in promoting the peace, stability, prosperity and development of Yuqing Mountain.The Yunshan faction is an important partner. We will unite all reliable partners to strengthen the joint efforts of both parties and promote exchanges and cooperation in multiple fields.

The meeting ended successfully. The representative of the monk with a foreign surname from the Zhou family thanked Lu Gan for his invitation to stay at the luncheon and left.

Jiang Qingfeng sent the three of them out of the formation and said goodbye politely.

The three of them set up their flying magic weapons and flew towards the mountainside. Shen Shan said in a deep voice, "I think the Yunshan Sect has a big plan, so we have to be on guard."

Wu Zhilan rolled her eyes at him: "There is an agenda, but which of the words Master Lu said was a lie? He is willing to let go of his spiritual veins and also provides a mountain-protecting formation. We have to accept his kindness."

Chen Shan and Zheng Duan looked at each other and smiled bitterly. It seemed that they were going to be in trouble in the future.I really need to unite all the reliable people.Holding together to survive is the only way for the weak in the chaos to survive.
