dead body search

Zhoujiabao.

The formation light curtain gradually rose.

The monks living in the inner fort of Zhoujiabao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After about a stick of incense.

The foundation-building monks of the Zhou family gathered in the main meeting hall.

Patriarch Zhou Chengyong sat at the head, Zhao Suya was on the right, and on both sides were the foundation-building monks of Zhoujiabao.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Zhao Suya said: "My fellow clansmen, the mountain protection array of the Zhou Family Fort has been repaired. This time, the Zhou Family Fort suffered a catastrophe. First the ancestor fell, then my husband Zhou Ruyu, the old man Zhou Qingmei and the old man Zhou Zhifei, just a few days ago, my two elder brothers were forcibly beheaded by the killer of the Blood Sword Sect. In less than three months, my Zhou family lost a golden core. , an early foundation establishment."

Speaking of this, Zhao Suya had to take out a silk handkerchief from her arms to wipe away her tears.

"Now that the family is in crisis, we must be more united, otherwise it will only be a matter of time before the family is destroyed."

Zhou Zhixian sighed, and said: "The fact that this bloody sword sect practice is too rampant, and they dare to do it in front of our Zhou family, is really intolerable!"

Zhao Suya said: "What Elder Su said is true. The reason why Chen Changqing, who killed the sword sect with blood, was so rampant was because he knew that the mountain guard formation in our Zhoujiabao was temporarily closed. Although the Hongyilou's information is strong, it is impossible Knowing the details, the only possibility is that someone will steal the inside out and betray the family's interests."

Zhou Zhixian nodded and said, "What the Patriarch said is absolutely true."

The other clansmen also nodded, approving Zhao Suya's judgment.

"If my palace's predictions are correct, I'm afraid that Zhou Rupeng's greed for the position of patriarch, using the precious resources of the clan, luring wolves into the house, colluding with blood to kill the sword sect and killing the ancestor, my husband and old Zhou Qingmei, after finishing this After everything, he thought he had the chance to win, but unexpectedly, he was beheaded by my son on the ring."

"Although Zhou Rupeng was punished, his two sons continued to betray the interests of the family and handed over the information to Hongyilou, so that Chen Changqing would drive straight in and kill my two sons while Zhou's castle was being repaired. brother."

"Right now, my Zhou family in Tianji City is in dire straits. I also hope that all my compatriots will help each other, unite and forge ahead." After speaking, Zhao Suya glanced at everyone present, with a serious and serious expression.

"Today's gathering, apart from denouncing the sins of Zhou Rupeng's family, there is another topic, which is to introduce a strong supporter into the Zhou Patriarchs' Association. This person is Hou Dongsheng, the great elder who came to Xuanyangzong." Following Zhao Suya According to the introduction, a person came to the door of the meeting hall. This person was about 27 or [-] years old. Although his skin was fair, he had sharp edges and corners. He was wearing a black suit, with a stern face and torch-like eyes, and he exuded an awe-inspiring aura. , He stopped when he walked to the center of the lobby, clasped his fists to the left and right and said, "I've seen all the seniors in Hou Dongsheng."

After Hou Dongsheng's voice fell, whispers suddenly sounded in the meeting hall. They all communicated with their spiritual senses and thought that Hou Dongsheng couldn't hear them. However, Hou Dongsheng's second soul has reached the third level through the dust world Bursts of noise can be clearly heard.

"Xuan Yangzong!?"

"It's the third-level force attached to us."

"The strength of their sect is pretty good, counting the sect masters, they have five foundations."

"I really didn't expect that our Zhoujiabao would also borrow the power of lower-level forces."

"The lower-level forces serve the higher-level forces, which is what it should be."

"Just let him do things, why let him enter the Presbyterian Church? He is not related to our Zhou family."

"It's really against the rules."

"Then Zhao Suya is the daughter-in-law of my Zhou family, and Zhao Yugou's late foundation cultivation is not eligible to join the elders' council."

……

Although everyone in the Zhou family seems to be calm, private discussions are non-stop.

"Hou Daoyou, please take a seat." Zhao Suya waved her hand.

Everyone looked at that seat one after another. It was located on the left side of the hall, and opposite to that empty seat was the old Zhou Zhixian of Zhou's house.

"This..." Many members of the Zhou family were in shock. That seat was previously occupied by Elder Zhou Zhifei. Why should he, a man with a different surname who is not related to the Zhou family, sit in this position! ?
Hou Dongsheng didn't hesitate at all, just walked over and sat down.

"Okay." After Hou Dongsheng sat down, Zhao Suya stood up and said, "Elder Hou has a cultivation base in the middle stage of foundation establishment. He built his foundation with Xuanyangzong's body training technique and is proficient in formations. His family's mountain protection formation It was Elder Hou who repaired it himself."

"What? My family's Myriad Opportunity Fog Formation was repaired by this person."

"Doesn't that mean that the core secrets of the family are all in the hands of this person?"

"Madam trusts this foreigner too much!"

Zhao Suya only had a foundation-building cultivation base, so naturally she couldn't hear the people's voice transmission, so she said with a smile: "From today on, Elder Hou Dongsheng is the elder of the clan with a different surname. agree?"

"This... old man has a question." Zhou Zhixian, the old man at Zhou's house, said suddenly.

"Oh?" Zhao Suya frowned, looking a little surprised.

"According to the family rules of my Zhou family, it is indeed possible to introduce a person with a foreign surname as an elder, called an elder with a foreign surname, but it must be proposed by the patriarch, and then submitted to the elders for deliberation. At least half of the people must agree to it. The elder of my Zhou family in Tianji City is definitely not coming up to introduce casually, just sit there, and you can become an elder with a foreign surname." Zhou Zhixian spoke slowly, but his words were quite firm.

"Yeah, what the clan elder said is right." Dang even some members of the Zhou family began to support him.

"Our Zhou family in Tianji City must follow the rules!"

"Any family must abide by the rules. Without rules, there will be no circle."

"It's a child's play to hastily introduce a clan member with a foreign surname to be a clan elder."

"Yeah yeah!"

For a while, the entire conference hall was full of discussions. Zhao Suya and Hou Dongsheng didn't say a word, listening quietly to everyone's objections.

This voice is no longer conveyed secretly but clearly.

This also means that Zhao Suya can no longer suppress the Zhou family.

even so.

Zhao Suya didn't panic at all, and Hou Dongsheng was naturally silent.

When the chaotic noise gradually subsided, Zhao Suya just smiled and said: "Then, let's make a vote according to Elder Zhou's words."

"Wait a minute, ma'am, do you want to ask the patriarch first if he is willing to recommend this person to be the elder of the clan?" Zhou Zhixian said with a smile.

Everyone looked at the patriarch at the top of the meeting hall.

"I wonder if the patriarch is willing to retire this person and become the patriarch of the clan?" Zhou Zhixian asked with cupped fists.

At this time, Zhou Chengyong, who was the head of the Zhou family, was very excited. This is the feeling of the head of the family.

Do not!
It's what it's like to be free from your mother's shackles.

Just take this opportunity to break with this bitch completely.

Zhou Chengyong lowered his eyes and pondered for a long time.

"Cough!" Zhou Chengyong coughed deliberately, so as to make himself look more majestic.

He said slowly: "Hou Dongsheng is a man with a foreign surname and he is only a monk in the middle stage of the foundation establishment period. If he is elected as the elder of the family, I am afraid it will attract criticism from other families."

Zhao Suya's face was ugly, the rest of the Zhou family looked excited, and Hou Dongsheng was expressionless.

"However, my Zhou family is in a critical situation right now, and it is precisely in need of eclectic talents. I think Elder Hou Dongsheng of the Xuanyang Sect is the most suitable candidate." Zhou Chengyong said impassionedly.

The words were repeated over and over again, with unpredictable twists and turns, making it impossible for people to guess what kind of thoughts he had in mind.

Even Zhao Suya couldn't help looking high at her son.

Although Zhou Chengyong was young, he was not a fool, and it was absolutely impossible for him to turn against his mother at this time, and Hou Dongsheng would not be able to offend him even more.

In short, his mother was his biggest reliance when he was fledgling. Even if his uncle and second uncle had been killed, his mother still had Xuanyangzong in her hands.

After all, Liu Heng, the head of Xuanyangzong, has become the servant of his mother.

Xuanyangzong has a Jindan real person, whose strength is unfathomable!
"Since the patriarch has made a decision, let's start voting. Do you have any objections?" Zhao Suya looked at the Zhou family with a smile on her face.

Everyone in the Zhou family was silent for a moment, looking at me and I looking at you, they didn't know what to do.

"Then I will set an example. I agree with Hou Dongsheng to become the elder of the Zhou family." Zhao Suya said first.

Then Zhao Suya looked at Zhou Zhixian and asked, "May I ask Mr. Zhixian if he agrees?"

Zhou Zhixian nodded.

"Then do you have any other opinions?" Zhao Suya asked again.

"No!"

"We support the patriarch's decision."

"Our Zhou family is in turmoil now, and we really need a reliable elder."

For a while, many members of the Zhou family in the meeting hall expressed their opinions one after another.

"In that case, then Hou Dongsheng is the old man of my Zhou family." Zhao Suya said with a smile on her face.

Hou Dongsheng also stood up and expressed his thanks to the foundation-builders of the Zhou family.

Since then, Hou Dongsheng has successfully become the elder of the Zhou family in Tianji City.

The outer fort of Zhoujiabao.

The place where the mortals of the Zhou family lived.

"Have you heard? Our Zhou family has an extra family elder with a foreign surname!"

"What? No way?"

"Of course it's true. I heard it from my second uncle! This man's surname is Hou, and his name is Hou Dongsheng."

"Why did the family suddenly recruit a family elder with a foreign surname?"

"What's so strange about this? Any family has elders with a foreign surname, so it stands to reason that the eldest lady Zhao Suya is also an elder with a foreign surname."

"Mrs. Zhao is the mother of the patriarch, so I have to use honorifics."

"According to the clan records, when the Zhou family first moved to Tianji City, there were even more elders with foreign surnames than the Zhou family, but they all disappeared later."

"How did it disappear?"

"Intermarriage, the man will marry, the woman will marry, and the next generation will have the surname Zhou."

"So that's it! I understand. Could it be that this Hou Dongsheng wants to climb the dragon and become the phoenix!"

"How do I know this? I'm just a mortal."

……

After half a month...

Zhao Suya held a family meeting and once again welcomed two elders with foreign surnames, female cultivator Yue Ningxue in the late foundation establishment period, and female cultivator Suzaku in the middle stage of foundation establishment.

Conference hall.

Looking forward to Gu Shenghui, the two beautiful women stood in the middle of the hall with smiles on their faces.

The Zhou family members whispered again, this time the words were much better than Hou Dongsheng's.

After all, everyone likes beautiful women.

"Where did these two come from?"

"It's also the Xuanyang sect."

"The patriarch is clever, this way Xuanyangzong can be completely tied to our Zhou family."

"Most of the third-level forces attached to our Zhou family are branches of the Zhou family. Only four families have no blood relationship with the Zhou family, and three of them have defected to the Li family. Only Xuanyangzong is loyal."

"That's right! Such a loyal force must be rewarded!"

"It's not a reward! It's about turning them all into the blood of our Zhou family."

"That's right, that's right, we want to marry them and become the daughters-in-law of our Zhou family."

"You must know that Xuanyangzong has six foundation-building monks, which is an extremely powerful force."

"This Yue Ningxue has already reached the late stage of foundation establishment at such a young age, and there is even a possibility of forming a golden core."

"Such a beautiful woman, who can be worthy of her?"

"Who else but the patriarch?"

Zhou Chengyong, the Patriarch of the Zhou family who raised his head high, said in a pretendingly calm voice: "This seat recommends the two girls of Xuanyang Sect, Yue Ningxue and Suzaku, to become the elders of my Zhou family. Do you have any objections?"

"I agree." Zhao Suya said.

"I agree." Hou Dongsheng continued.

"No!"

"agree!"

"Yes!"

Everyone expressed their opinions.

Zhou Chengyong nodded: "Since that's the case, Miss Yue and Miss Zhu, please move to the Zhou Mansion."

"Suzaku leads the order."

"Yue Ningxue takes orders."

……

Zhoujiabao.

Back Mountain.

The Wandu Tower has been rebuilt.

There is a secret room in the Wandu Pagoda, where Jindan Master Yue Ningshuang practiced in seclusion.

Ten thousand poison caves under the ten thousand poison tower.

Jindan Daoist Wang Dalong hides in the deepest place.

The existence of Yue Ningshuang and Wang Dalong is a secret, but the level of secrecy of the two is different.

Zhao Suya, Zhou Chengyong and everyone in Xuanyangzong knew about the existence of Jindan Daoist Yue Ningshuang, but they didn't know about Wang Dalong.

Only Hou Dongsheng, Liu Hang, and Yue Ningshuang knew about Wang Dalong's existence.

As for the secret of Wang Dalong's attempt to subvert the Divine Sword Sect, it is a top secret. Currently only Hou Dongsheng knows about it, and even Yue Ningshuang and Liu Hang know nothing about it.

Zhao Suya and Zhou Chengyong left Wandu Pagoda with serious expressions. Yue Ningshuang summoned them just now, and stated that he would not reveal the identity of Jindan Daoist unless it was absolutely necessary, and he would not light up the soul lamp and send it to the Divine Sword Gate.

As for the reason, Yue Ningshuang did not give an explanation, but Yue Ningshuang promised that when the Zhou family was indeed in danger of life and death, she would definitely take action, and this promise also reassured Zhao Suya and Zhou Chengyong a lot.

"Mother, did our Zhou family swallow Xuanyangzong?" Zhou Chengyong asked suddenly on the way back.

"Maybe it's just the opposite." Zhao Suya said suddenly.

"Why?" Zhou Chengyong asked suspiciously.

Zhao Suya looked into the distance, and said in a deep voice: "Now that the ancestor of the Xuanyang Sect is here, no one of us would dare to disobey what she said. The formation of Zhoujiabao fell into the hands of Hou Dongsheng, and Yue Ningxue has also become a family member." The deputy head of the law enforcement hall, Suzaku became the deputy head of the family alchemy hall."

"So what? Mother is a little worried." Zhou Chengyong shook his head and said.

"Although Yue Ningxue is the deputy head of the Law Enforcement Hall, does anyone listen to her? Can she command people well?" Zhou Chengyong said with a look of disdain.

"As for Dantang, it doesn't matter."

"Our Zhou family's biggest problem is that we don't have our own golden core real person. Before the child has cultivated to the golden core, we can only rely on the protection of the founder of the Xuanyang sect, otherwise we will only be wiped out by the Hu family and the Li family." Zhou Chengyong sneered said.

"Introducing Xuanyangzong can strengthen the strength of our Zhou family. After all, a family must be united by blood. No matter how strong the monks of Xuanyangzong are, they do not have the blood of my Zhou family. It is still impossible to unite my Zhou family members. Now we all have to listen to Yue Ningshuang's arrangements, but in the future the Zhou family will still be the Zhou family, and his Xuanyang Sect will definitely disappear." Zhou Chengyong said.

"Cheng Yong, who taught you this?" Zhao Suya asked in surprise.

"Clan elder, Zhou Zhixian." Zhou Chengyong said.

"It seems that the clan elders have high expectations of you." Zhao Suya murmured.

"Mother, the elder of the Zhixian clan and more than [-] members of my Zhou family have sworn allegiance to me. In the future, if you have any opinions on managing clan affairs, you can ask me in private. It is." Zhou Chengyong said.

"What did you say?" Zhao Suya asked in surprise.

"Mom! I've grown up." Zhou Chengyong said seriously.

"This Zhou Zhixian..." Zhao Suya felt a little dissatisfied.

"Mother, the elders of the Zhixian clan have worked hard!" Zhou Chengyong explained.

"Forget it... Since Zhou Zhixian values ​​you so much, then you must work hard to cultivate and build a foundation as soon as possible. You must know that the world of cultivating immortals still respects strength." Zhao Suya said.

"Yes, mother." Zhou Chengyong bowed his head in response.

……

Zhoujiabao.

A fort where mortals live.

Two lions danced on the street.

"The mahjong house is open for business,
Come and see, everyone"

A loud noise came, breaking the entire space.

"What is this mahjong house for?"

"Do you sell sparrows?"

"No! This is the place to practice martial arts." Huang Jin explained.

"A table is square and square, with one hundred and eight sparrows, four people can play until dawn." Li Feiyan pointed to the table and said.

The crowd around let out an exclamation:
"Is it so amazing?"

"Yeah, I've never heard of it."

"How come there are so many kinds of sparrows? It's so strange."

"Of course, there are various rules for combining these sparrows." Huang Jin explained.

"Then teach us."

A group of young Zhou family members were drawn in.

Soon some people began to sit and experience.

Xuanyangzong opened twenty such mahjong houses in one go.

The inner fort of the Zhou Family Fort.

street.

Zajie has two meanings.

One is that this is a place for selling sundries, and the other is that this is a place where miscellaneous spirit roots live.

They live in a more crowded neighborhood than ordinary people, and even feel inferior to ordinary people.

There are also lights and festoons here.

A martial arts gym opened here.

Tai Chi martial arts gym.

A big bald head squatted halfway on the table, repeatedly practicing the sun and moon double fist. The moves were exquisite and varied, and seemed to be very powerful. Many people were fascinated.

"Take a look, take a look, Xuanyangzong Taijiquan."

"This bald-headed brother has four spiritual roots, and he has already reached the ninth level of Qi refining. What made him break through so quickly?"

"It's Tai Chi Divine Fist!"

"What made him break through the shackles of the four spiritual roots?"

"It's Tai Chi Divine Fist!"

"Xuanyangzong's complete set of Taijiquan is priced at [-] spirit stones. Today's discount is big, and you can learn it with only one spirit stone!"

"Yes, you heard that right! Normally, you need [-] or [-] spirit stones to learn Tai Chi, but now you only need one spirit stone."

"One spirit stone can learn!"

"One spirit stone can break through the limitation of spirit roots, why are you hesitating?"

"If you can't buy it, you will lose money, if you can't buy it, you won't be fooled. You can't buy a piece of spirit stone or a piece of talisman, but now you can buy yourself the hope of building a foundation one by one."

"Yeah, we have to learn!"

"I'm signing up now!"

"Quickly collect my spirit stone."

A group of people scrambled forward.

"Be careful, don't squeeze!"
