Chapter five hundred and ninety-four: cut the mess with a quick knife(1/2)
At the commendation meeting in the Zhou Family Ancestral Temple, Zhou Ronghua, Zhou Rongxiang, and Zhou Shenghe gained both face and dignity.
Zhou Yang not only highly praised the three in front of the entire tribe, calling on all tribesmen to learn from the three, but also informed everyone of his plan to reward the three in kind.
This kind of real fame and fortune really makes all the Zhou family members present envious and yearn for it.
Many monks here today know Zhou Ronghua and the other three. In the past, these three people were considered good in the Zhou family, but there were also many people who were better than them.
But now the three of them just followed their family ancestors to visit the Immortal Realm of Liuyun Continent. After fighting a battle, they returned to their hometown and received such honors and rewards. How could they not make the monks who are similar to them envious?
envy.
Many of the younger Zhou family members made up their minds on the spot, and after the meeting ended, they went to beg the clan leader to follow their ancestors to serve in the Immortal Realm of Liuyun Continent.
Even some of the older monks of the Zhou family are secretly wondering whether they should take the risk and try their luck to create a glorious future for future generations.
Zhou Yang saw all this with his eyes, and was extremely satisfied in his heart, knowing that his purpose of doing this was initially achieved.
It has always been his goal to get the Zhou family out of the boundless sea of sand, but this immigration strategy must follow the principle of voluntariness and cannot be forced.
The outside world is wonderful, but the outside world is also very dangerous.
In Zhou Yang's view, monks of the Zhou family who want to get out of the boundless sea of sand and cultivate immortality must first have the determination to dare to face death.
Due to geographical constraints, it was impossible for him to bring all the Zhou family monks to immigrate to the Immortal World of Liuyun Continent. Therefore, with the limited number of places, every monk who went out must be an elite within the family.
Only when these elite monks gather together can they quickly and efficiently rebuild a strong Zhou family in the immortal world of Liuyun Continent.
"Now my Zhou family has a foundation in the Liuyun Continent Cultivation World. In the future, outstanding members of the family can take the initiative to apply to the family to go to the Liuyun Continent Cultivation World to gain experience and garrison. The Liuyun Continent Cultivation World is very prosperous, and
It's very dangerous, so I hope that when you apply to the family, you'd better consider whether you are ready to sacrifice yourself for the family's great cause, and then make a decision after careful consideration!"
Zhou Yang looked at the clansmen with longing and longing expressions in their eyes, waved his hands, and said in a low tone: "Now, the clansmen with cultivation levels below the Foundation Establishment stage can disperse first, and the clansmen with cultivation levels at the Foundation Establishment stage and Zifu stage can leave first.
Stay, ancestor, I have something important to announce to you!"
After hearing his words, even though the monks of the Zhou family who were in the Qi training stage were extremely curious about what the big deal he was talking about was, no one dared to disobey the order of the ancestor of the family, and they all respectfully withdrew immediately.
Go down.
After all these people left, Zhou Yang turned his gaze to Zhou Guangxiang, who had not said a word today, shook his head slightly and said, "You better speak for yourself."
"My nephew takes the order."
Zhou Guangxiang responded in a low voice, then glanced at the Zhou family monks who were looking at him with surprised expressions. He closed his eyes and slowly said: "I am guilty. As the head of the Zhou family, I know the law and break the law, and take advantage of the family."
The power given to me is to use power for personal gain, for..."
The whole place was silent, with only Zhou Guangxiang's regretful words echoing.
Regarding the matter of Zhou Shengyu being sent away, for the sake of the stability of the clan, Zhou Guangxiang told other monks in the clan that he was sent to Zhou Yang and his wife for further study.
Because he is the clan leader, and it is indeed a great thing to be able to practice with Zhou Yang, an ancestor of the family who has cultivated in the Golden Core stage, the other Zhou family monks did not suspect anything.
At this time, hearing his words of repentance, all the Zhou family monks were shocked.
Zhou Guangxiang did not look at the stunned Zhou family members, but continued to mutter to himself: "Those who have meritorious service will be rewarded, and those who have made mistakes will be punished. This is clearly written in the rules of my Zhou family. Although I am Zhou
The head of the family is not exempt from this!"
"According to clan rules, those who use power for personal gain can be punished with the highest penalty of having their cultivation level revoked and being expelled from the family. As the clan leader, Zhou Guangxiang takes the lead in using power for personal gain. A heavy punishment is not enough to convince the public!"
"Therefore, the sinner Zhou Guangxiang hereby implores the Supreme Elder to deprive me of my position as clan leader and impose a punishment of being exiled to the outside world for a hundred years, as a warning to others!"
At the end of the speech, others had already knelt down in front of the Zhou family ancestral hall where the ancestors' spiritual tablets were stored, and kowtowed deeply to the ground as a sign of apology.
It was only then that the others finally recovered from this shocking change.
"Brother, brother, you..."
Zhou Guangxiang and Zhou Guangxiang were born from the same mother. The brother and sister had been dependent on each other for hundreds of years. Among the monks present, she found this scene the most difficult to accept.
She looked at her brother who was kneeling on the ground, her face changed drastically and she wanted to say something.
But before she finished speaking, she suddenly stopped and turned to look at Zhou Yang.
She knelt down on the ground, kowtowed heavily to Zhou Yang and begged: "Uncle Jiu, uncle Jiu, please be merciful. Even if he is wrong, he doesn't need such a heavy punishment! Please remember his past."
For his contribution and hard work to the family, please be merciful and spare him once, my niece, I beg you!"
"Sister, get up and don't be rude to Uncle Jiu. I'm all to blame for myself. I can't blame anyone. No need to say more!"
Zhou Guangxiang shouted in a deep voice to stop his sister's behavior, and kowtowed three times in succession to the ancestral hall. Then he raised his head and turned to face Zhou Yang, waiting for Zhou Yang to say the final judgment.
Zhou Yang did not look at him, but looked at the other Zhou family members, and said coldly with a cold voice: "You have all seen and heard it. As the clan leader, Zhou Guangxiang has made mistakes, so he needs to
Being punished by the clan rules, if someone dares to do something that violates the clan rules by taking advantage of their status and position in the future, you need to think about whether they can escape the punishment according to the clan rules!"
Upon hearing this, the Zhou family monks present were so frightened that they all fell to their knees and shouted, "We don't dare!"
"Whether you dare or not is not as simple as words, but depends on actual actions!"
"I watched Guangxiang grow up, and I even raised him. I have been proud of him many times over the past hundreds of years, but you can see the result now."
"I hope you can take him as a lesson and read the clan rules carefully a few times when you go back. I don't want to see similar things in the future. Otherwise, if I can tolerate you, the clan rules will not tolerate you either!"
After Zhou Yang said these words coldly, he waved his hand and took the clan leader's token from Zhou Guangxiang's body.
"Now, for you to witness together, I, as the supreme elder of the Zhou family, deprive Zhou Guangxiang of his position as the head of the Zhou family, and sentence him to exile in the immortal world of Yunzhou for a hundred years!"
"Zhou Guangxiang accepts the crime." Zhou Guangxiang cupped his hands to show that he had no objection.
Seeing this, Zhou Yang couldn't help but continue: "The family cannot live without a clan leader for a day. Since Zhou Guangxiang is no longer the clan leader, he will select a new clan leader among you in accordance with the clan rules. Now you can speak freely and talk about what you think.
If you find a suitable candidate, I will personally test the school to determine whether he is suitable to be the head of the Zhou family."
Wow!
Upon hearing Zhou Yang's words, the faces of the Zhou family monks in the ancestral temple suddenly changed.
The last time the Zhou family changed its patriarch was more than two hundred years ago. More than 90% of the Zhou family monks here today were not born yet at that time.
From the time they were born, Zhou Guangxiang has been the patriarch of the Zhou family, and with the longevity of the monks in the Zifu period, as long as they did not succeed in opening the Zifu, most of them would be dead before Zhou Guangxiang.
Therefore, many monks of the Zhou family dare not even think about the position of patriarch, and have no idea about it at all.
But now, the position of the clan leader is vacant, and according to the wishes of Zhou Yang, the ancestor of the Zhou family, a new clan leader must be selected from among them, the foundation-building monks. How can this not make them excited?
The Zhou family is now the overlord of the Immortal Cultivation World in the Boundless Sand Sea. Once they become the patriarch of the Zhou family, even if they are still in the Foundation Establishment stage, their status will surpass all the Zifu stage cultivators other than the Zhou family, and they will be ranked below a few people.
An existence above ten thousand people.
And once you become the patriarch of the Zhou family, you will have great priority in exchanging the family's cultivation resources. Treasures like [Purple Heart Chalcedony] will definitely be easier for the patriarch to redeem than other foundation-building monks.
Who wouldn’t want to do this, which is a good thing that gives both face and dignity?
"Old Ancestor, the younger generation is not talented, so I am willing to recommend myself to accept the examination of our ancestors."
Soon, a Zhou family foundation-building monk mustered up the courage to stand up, bowed to Zhou Yang with a hopeful look on his face, and recommended himself to him.
This person's cultivation level is not weak, and he has the cultivation level of the seventh level of foundation building.
When Zhou Yang saw this, he immediately moved his lips slightly, and the sound transmission test came to him.
It can be clearly seen that after hearing the test questions asked by Zhou Yang's voice transmission, the Zhou family monk's expression suddenly changed drastically. His face was filled with hesitation and he muttered his mouth, but he was unable to answer.
After waiting like this for a while, Zhou Yang shook his head slightly and said: "Step back, you are not suitable."
The man's face suddenly turned pale, and then he bowed his hands in shame and said, "This junior is incompetent and has let our ancestors down." After saying that, he withdrew.
After this person, there were several people who were recommended by others or recommended themselves, and they all took turns to come forward to accept Zhou Yang's examination.
It's just that some of these people can pass Zhou Yang's one question, but none can pass three questions in a row.
"Tongxuan, you should try it too."
In the crowd, Zhou Tongxuan, who was looking at a dazed monk from the Zhou family who came forward to accept Zhou Yang's assessment with eyes full of envy, suddenly heard someone calling him.
He looked back and saw his aunt Zhou Guangxiang looking at him, her eyes full of encouragement.
"I, can I? Father, he is just..."
He pursed his lips with a look of embarrassment on his face and did not say the rest of the words, but he knew that his aunt must understand what he wanted to say.
Sure enough, after Zhou Guangxiang heard what he said, he immediately shook his head and reminded him: "You underestimate Uncle Jiu's mind. Your father is your father, and you are you. Since he didn't say that you can't compete for the next job,
Patriarch, it means that it is okay for you to acquiesce, but if you dare not stand up, he will be completely disappointed in you!"
"My nephew understands. Thank you aunt for your advice. If it weren't for you, my nephew would have made a big mistake again!"
A sudden look flashed in Zhou Tongxuan's eyes, he nodded gratefully to Zhou Guangxiang, and then he mustered up the courage to stand up.
When he took this step, he clearly felt the strange looks from other tribesmen on him.
He knew very well what those tribesmen were thinking now, but he was already mentally prepared when he took this step.
What's more, after taking this step, although he didn't look back, he still clearly felt his father Zhou Guangxiang's eyes falling on him. The meaning in his eyes was completely different from that of other tribesmen.
It was a look full of hope and expectation, a father's most sincere expectation for his son.
Zhou Yang's eyes also changed slightly.
Although he had already made plans in his mind to let Zhou Tongxuan take over the position of clan leader, he had not told anyone about this matter except Taoist companion Xiao Ying.
Zhou Guangxiang was right just now. If Zhou Tongxuan didn't even dare to stand up today, Zhou Yang would be completely disappointed with him.
