Zhou Yuanchen didn't stay long when he returned to his hometown to visit relatives.
The foundation-building monks of Huangshamen are not as leisurely as the supreme elders of the Zhou family.
Every monk in the foundation building period of Huangsha Sect must choose to open a cave on a certain Lingshan Mountain according to the sect's arrangements after building the foundation. They cannot easily leave the Lingshan Cave and go out. Even if they have to go out to do something, they must report to the sect in advance.
The application to the General Affairs Hall was approved.
If you go out privately without reporting it, it's okay if nothing happens. The senior leaders of the sect will turn a blind eye to this kind of thing. As long as you don't go out for too long, no one will be punished specifically for this.
But if he goes out without reporting it, and causes an accident in Lingshan while he is out, causing the sect to suffer losses, then the future will be miserable.
Not only do you have to compensate the sect for its losses, but you also have to be stopped from receiving benefits and offerings from the sect for a certain period of time based on the loss. More importantly, it will directly affect your impression in the eyes of the sect's senior officials.
Zhou Yuanchen had been building the foundation for several years, and the Huangshamen General Affairs Hall had already arranged for him to garrison on a third-level spiritual mountain. This time he went home to visit relatives, and he only dared to leave after applying to the sect for approval.
After Zhou Yuanchen left, Zhou Yang and the old patriarch Zhou Minghan immediately gathered in Zhou Minghan's cave to discuss secretly.
"The news brought by Yuan Chen this time is extremely important. Xiao Bufan was actually sent to the Chihu Mountain Oasis to replace the injured Luo Yunqing and take charge of this spiritual mountain. Does this prove that Huang Shamen knew through some channels that the demonic cultivators might be causing trouble there?
?”
"Last time Yu'er said that Xuemoluo had been active in Chihu Mountain. Does Huang Shamen's actions now prove that our original guess was correct? Xuemoluo is indeed hiding in Chihu Mountain to recuperate.
!”
In the cave, Zhou Minghan looked at Zhou Yang with a serious face and expressed his opinion in a solemn tone.
When Zhou Yang heard this, he nodded slightly and said: "A few years ago, the Jindan stage demon cultivator Xue Youzi died. Didn't it mean that a Zifu stage demon cultivator was captured? Maybe Huang Shamen got some information from this aspect and sent his troops.
Xiao Bufan, who has eliminated the demonic energy from his body, should go and take over the position of the injured Luo Yunqing in charge of Chihu Mountain."
"Then Xiaojiu, what are you going to do now? Since Xiao Bufan asked Yuan Chen to bring a message to urge you to see him, he certainly won't simply want you to return the puppet flying eagle to him. I'm worried that you will be naked once you go there.
If Hushan pays homage to him, he will take the opportunity to detain you to punish you for abandoning him and running for your life last time!"
Zhou Minghan looked at him with a worried look and finally expressed his worries.
"My great-grandfather's worries are not unreasonable. But nowadays, people are cutters and I am fish and meat. Since Xiao Bufan has asked Brother Yuan Chen to send a message to us, if I don't go to see him, wouldn't it give him more reason to show off?
"
"In this case, it's a knife to raise one's head, and it's a knife to shrink one's head. The first level of officialdom can crush people to death. He is a monk in the Zifu period. If he really wants to deal with his grandson, he has many methods. The grandson can escape the first grade of junior high school, but he can't escape.
Fifteen, the longer you delay, the more unhappy you will be!"
Zhou Yang smiled helplessly and shook his head, but he had seen through the essence of the matter and knew clearly that he had no second choice.
When Zhou Minghan heard what he said, he couldn't help but fell silent.
For other things, he can also help Zhou Yang with advice, or even do it on Zhou Yang's behalf.
But now that Xiao Bufan asked Zhou Yang to see him by name, what could Zhou Minghan do?
After being silent for a long time, he looked at Zhou Yang and asked, "Xiaojiu, when do you plan to set off?"
"In a few days, my grandson will first go to Fangshi to meet his father and mother and explain the matter to them. Then he will go to see Senior Chen Pingan and Chen to see if he knows some inside information that we don't know.
."
Zhou Yang pondered for a moment and then revealed his plan.
"Then keep this thing away. If you encounter any danger, it should be able to support you until you use the blood escape technique to escape!"
Zhou Minghan gritted his teeth, reached out and patted the storage bag, took out a jade box and handed it to Zhou Yang.
Zhou Yang opened the jade box with a suspicious look on his face, and saw a yellow magic talisman about a foot long lying quietly in the jade box. The spiritual energy fluctuations emanating from the talisman had reached the fourth level!
"this……"
Zhou Yang looked at the spiritual talisman in the jade box with a shocked expression, and looked at the old patriarch Zhou Minghan with a surprised expression. He had no idea that the Zhou family had such a treasure.
"This [Mountain Amulet] has a grade of up to the fourth-grade mid-grade. After I received the inheritance of the fourth-grade weapon refining, I exchanged it for a fourth-grade low-grade magic weapon from a senior of the Zi Mansion. At that time, I exchanged a total of
Two fourth-level talismans, this is the last one left!"
Zhou Minghan knew what Zhou Yang was surprised about, and immediately told the origin of the fourth-level talisman in the jade box.
After finishing speaking, he seemed to know what Zhou Yang was going to say next, and continued without waiting for Zhou Yang to say: "I know you want to say that this thing is too precious, but you have to know that no matter how precious the treasure is,
You have to be alive to use it. If something happens to you, the loss to my Zhou family will definitely be more than just one or two fourth-level talismans. I don’t need to teach you the truth behind this, right?"
Zhou Yang was immediately speechless.
He really needs this kind of life-saving treasure now, because both he and Zhou Minghan know that his trip to Chihu Mountain will be dangerous and unpredictable. If there is no such treasure that can block the attack of the monks from the Zifu period, once he really encounters this kind of treasure,
Against enemies of the same level, he wouldn't even have a chance to escape.
At that moment, he didn't show any pretense and silently accepted this heavy gift.
A few days later, Zhou Yang left Yuquan Peak and rushed to Baisha River Oasis, where he spent a few days with his parents and made it clear that he was going to Chihu Mountain.
Zhou Xuanhao and Lin Yuting are not ignorant people. After Zhou Yang explained the whole story to them, even though they were extremely worried about their son's safety during this trip, they did not stop him because of this. They also knew that it was impossible to stop him.
he.
From the moment Zhou Yang took over as the patriarch of the Zhou family, the two of them knew that their son would no longer be just their son, but also the helmsman of the Zhou family. He would need to be responsible for the entire Zhou family.
According to his original plan, he wanted to meet Chen Ping'an again after meeting his parents and get information about Chihu Mountain from his mouth.
It was only after meeting his father Zhou Xuanhao that he learned from his mouth that Chen Ping'an was not in Fangshi now, but had returned to White Camelback to retreat and attack the Zi Mansion.
"It's really weird to retreat and attack Zi Mansion at this time!"
Zhou Yang sighed in his heart, feeling that Chen Ping'an chose to attack Zi Mansion at this time, because something must have happened that they didn't know about.
Unfortunately, the level of the Zhou family is still not high enough. Some inside information that is only circulated among the Zifu period monks often only comes out to them long after the incident has passed.
He had no choice but to go to the Chihu Mountain Oasis alone with his sword in a state of panic.
The distance from Baishahe Oasis to Chihushan Oasis is no shorter than that from Baishahe Oasis to Huangshamen. This is Zhou Yang's first time to go there. Even with a map to refer to and a "fixing astrolabe" to help determine the direction,
It took more than half a month to arrive.
Since it was only opened over a hundred years ago, the number of mortals on the Chihu Mountain Oasis is less than 500,000. Most of the large oasis is uncultivated wasteland. When Zhou Yang flew over the oasis, he could even see
When you reach some first-level and second-level monsters, they appear in them.
This kind of situation is impossible to occur in an oasis like the Baisha River Oasis that has been highly developed by immortal cultivators. Immortal cultivators there regularly patrol, and any monsters that break into the oasis, or monsters that evolve from local beasts, will be killed.
The patrolling monks cleared it up in time.
Zhou Yang also didn't understand why the land here was still allowed to remain so barren until more than a hundred years later, even though Huang Shamen's power could accomplish all this within a few decades.
However, he knew that if Huang Shamen did not do this, there must be a reason for not doing so.
"Zhou Yang, the head of the Yuquan Zhou family, was summoned to pay homage to Senior Huang Shamen Xiao!"
A few hours later, in front of a spiritual mountain shrouded in colorful clouds and mist, Zhou Yang stepped on a flying sword and spoke loudly of his purpose.
Not long after he entered the oasis, he met a group of casual cultivators who had received the task of eliminating demons from Huangshamen in the oasis. Then he learned the specific location of Chihu Mountain from those casual cultivators and rushed all the way there.
.
At this time, after he loudly stated his purpose of coming, he immediately felt several strands of foundation-level consciousness sweeping toward him, one of which was even stronger than his own.
Having dealt with Chen Ping'an many times, he immediately felt a chill in his heart, knowing that that person must also be a ninth-level foundation-building monk.
Therefore, he did not shield these divine consciousnesses, and openly allowed these divine consciousnesses to sweep across his body.
After these spiritual senses swept over his body several times, an old voice came from the Lingshan Mountain in front and said: "Fellow Taoist, please wait a moment. I have already sent a message to Master Xiao. I will wait for Master Xiao to confirm the passage in person."
Only after you have confirmed your identity, can we let you into the mountain. Please understand."
"I understand."
Zhou Yang nodded, and waited at the foot of the mountain as soon as the sword light fell.
In this special period, without the approval of the Zifuqi monks, even the outside Huangshamen monks must be personally verified by Xiao Bufan, the Zifuqi monk, before they can be released into Lingshan, let alone
He is such an outsider.
After waiting like this for about two or three quarters of an hour, a sword light suddenly flew out from the spiritual mountain in front and landed in front of Zhou Yang, revealing a figure.
"Why are you here, Fellow Daoist Yan? Could it be that Fellow Daoist Yue..."
Zhou Yang looked at the visitor with a surprised look on his face, as if he had some realization.
"It seems that Fellow Daoist Zhou has also guessed it. Yes, Fellow Daoist Yue Shan is also stationed on Chihu Mountain now. The three of us can fight together again!"
Yan Yunfei, who came from the Yan family in Fire Fox Ridge, nodded with a wry smile and said what Zhou Yang had not finished.
