Beast-controlling fairy clan

Zhou Daoyi, the head of the Zhou family, once said that the most important thing for the Zhou family now is to support Zhou Chun to successfully build his foundation.

The Foundation Building Pill obtained by the Zhou family must also be taken by Zhou Chun first.

Therefore, in order to obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill, as the clan leader, he took the lead and went to the Yunzhou front line after issuing the manpower recruitment order at Qinglian Temple.

But he didn't expect that no clear news had come from his side yet. Zhou Mingde, who stayed behind in the family, had already obtained the Foundation Establishment Pill by killing people from the Hualong Sect.

Now Zhou Mingde is holding the Foundation Establishment Pill. He looked at Zhou Chun and after pondering for a while, he nodded slightly and said: "I will leave this Foundation Establishment Pill to you, Zhengchun. When you reach the level of cultivation, You can come directly to me to get it."

Hearing his words, Zhou Chun was relieved.

It was a major matter of foundation building, so he was inevitably worried about something happening just now.

Fortunately, no accident occurred, and Zhou Mingde still took the overall situation into consideration.

At this time, he quickly saluted and thanked: "Thank you so much for your love, the Supreme Elder. I will definitely work hard to practice and live up to the high expectations of the Supreme Elder!"

"I hope so!"

Zhou Mingde nodded slightly, and after explaining a few more words, he returned to his cave.

And because the partial division sent by Hualong Cult to Lanzhou had been destroyed, Zhou Chun and several Zhou family elders discussed it and canceled the previous conservative policy and restored everything to the original state.

However, after this incident, the intensity of supervision within the family has indeed increased, and the control of people entering and leaving the mountain gate has become much stricter.

Not only the Zhou family is like this, but also other immortal cultivating families in Lanzhou.

After all, the lessons are right in front of us.

That casual cultivator camp was first infiltrated by people from the Hualong Sect because of lax supervision.

Thus, by controlling the monks guarding the formation, the Black Dragon Protector, a Zifu monk, was placed in the camp.

In the end, several casual cultivators in the foundation-building period became prisoners.

Although there is a reason for this incident that the supervision of outside monks in the casual cultivator camp itself is lax, it is actually because of the lax supervision that caused the accident.

With this negative example, if all the immortal cultivating families didn't know how to strengthen the supervision of entering and exiting the mountain gate, they deserved to be destroyed!

At the same time, with the encouragement of the foundation-building pill that was already confirmed to be taken, Zhou Chun became more attentive in his cultivation.

No matter how busy he is every day, he will not delay his daily meditation practice time.

To this day, he has fully realized that if he does not become a foundation-building monk, no matter how good he is in other areas, he will not be able to hold power in the Zhou family and will not be able to reach the top.

So whether it's to gain stronger strength, longer life, or gain higher power.

The success of foundation building has become the most important thing for him right now.

At this time, he asked Fourth Elder Zhou Jiarui to go to Fangshi to deliver goods and buy two bottles of Golden Bud Pill for him from Liji Pharmacy. He still had to use the power of the pill to open the remaining acupuncture points in his body as quickly as possible.

Time passed slowly, and the Hualong Sect didn't seem to have much reaction to the Black Dragon Protector's defeat in Lanzhou.

After experiencing many fierce battles in Yunzhou, it gradually calmed down and began to turn into a guerrilla war between monks from both sides.

It can be seen from this that the Hualong Sect is still not ready for a large-scale invasion of Yunzhou, and now it seems that it is only used for training troops.

The various factions in Jingguo don't know what their motives are, and they don't seem to have any intention of leaving the country to expedition to the Hualong Sect's main altar.

Zhou Chun's information was limited, and he didn't know what the thoughts and plans of the Qinglian Temple and other sects above him were.

He only hoped that the war could be controlled within the boundaries of Yunzhou and not involve Lanzhou.

For the time being, it seems that Qinglian Temple thinks the same way and has been preventing the Hualong Sect from expanding the battlefield.

On this day, it was the end of the month, and Zhou Chun began to write a summary of all the clan affairs handled this month for the elders to inquire.

He is quite skilled at this, after all, he used to be the patriarch's secretary and specialized in doing these tasks.

But now that he was doing this as the acting clan leader, he felt a little uncomfortable.

It would be too disrespectful for a dignified clan leader to do such a thing like a clerk.

So he couldn't help but come up with the idea of ​​finding a ghostwriter.

"Actually, this kind of document processing work does not have to be done by monks from the clan. You can choose some flexible family mortals to do it. As long as they cannot leave the mountain gate easily and cannot easily communicate with other clan members!"

"There are also two people outside the hall who can be used to stand guard and pass the news. There is no need for someone to come over to do things. They will just call the door as if they were running from home to door!"

"Even at the Beast Garden and Bai Yao Peak, mortals can be trained and recruited to do some raising and planting work, so that the tribesmen there don't have to spend a lot of time on these things!"

From this idea of ​​finding a ghostwriter, Zhou Chun quickly thought of more things.

It can be said that he has sufficient experience at the grassroots level. When the mountain gate was first established, he traveled to various peaks with a large number of Zhou family monks, building roads and bridges, raising animals and wolves, and did everything.

Therefore, he also knows clearly that some things do not necessarily need to be done by immortal cultivators. Mortals can also do it as long as they are willing to work hard.

It's just that most of the mortals of the Zhou family had not migrated here at that time. Those mortals who came over had close connections with the family's senior officials, so naturally those mortals were not allowed to do such tiring and potentially dangerous work.

Another problem is the way of thinking of the cultivators themselves.

In the inherent way of thinking of many immortal cultivators, mortals are weak and short-lived, and sometimes a small cold may kill them.

A monster beast's casual roar could frighten several people to death.

In this way of thinking, they naturally do not think that mortals can do anything to help cultivators.

At most, only ordinary people can do things like cooking and washing that are completely risk-free.

There is nothing wrong with this way of thinking. After all, if there are enough manpower, it will definitely be much better to leave the same thing to immortal cultivators than to ordinary people.

But with the current number of monks in the Zhou family, it is obvious that they are not luxurious enough to assign a few work secretaries and two gatekeepers to the clan leader!

And Zhou Chun felt that he needed these people to assist with his work.

So using mortals as a compromise choice is a very good way.

Even in mortal terms, you don't even have to pay for your family's good deeds, and the price is almost nothing.

I just want to recall that it is not something Zhou Chun can do yet to enable mortals to participate in family affairs.

First of all, those family elders may not agree with this matter.

Secondly, it also takes time to find mortals suitable to do these things.

Therefore, Zhou Chun planned to privately ask the Zhou family monks stationed in Mortal Market Town to help him identify candidates and conduct targeted preliminary training.

After he successfully established the foundation, he truly secured his position as deputy clan leader and had the right to speak.

If you bring this up again, there should be no problem.

While Zhou Chun was secretly planning to do this, Mu Yuntian, a foundation-building monk from the Mu family in Biyun Mountain who had joined the Qinglian Temple, came to visit the Zhou family.

This Mu Yuntian was originally a disciple of the inner sect of Qinglian Temple, the brother of Mu Yunshan, the original patriarch of the Mu family, and his cultivation level reached the late stage of foundation building.

Originally, the Mu family was prepared to help him attack the Zi Mansion with all his strength.

But now that the Mu family has been robbed, not only can he no longer get help from the family, but he has to step up and take the lead in helping the Mu family rebuild. This is bad luck!

At this time, after this person came to the Zhou family, he bluntly requested to see Zhou Mingde, the supreme elder of the Zhou family.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun had no choice but to ask the second elder Zhou Chongshan to report, and invited the people to rest in a side hall next to the Zhongping Hall for guests.

Soon after, Zhou Mingde took Zhou Chongshan to the side hall.

As soon as he saw Zhou Mingde, Mu Yuntian, who was still dressed as a Taoist, hurriedly stepped forward and bowed and said:

"My Mu family was robbed last time. Among all the families that the family has good relations with, Senior Zhou was the first to go to my Mu family to rescue me. For this kindness, all the surviving monks of my Mu family are grateful and can't thank you enough!"

"If this generation gets permission from the sect, I can return to Lanzhou and rebuild my family."

"That's why I came here to pay my respects to Senior Zhou today. I would like to ask Senior, for the sake of the friendship between the two families, to be able to go to Biyun Mountain to attend the Mu family's reconstruction celebration in half a month."

When Zhou Mingde heard what he said, his eyes suddenly flashed, and he couldn't help but said: "Fellow Taoist Mu, you are so polite. The Zhou family and the Mu family are allied families. When something happens to the Mu family, they send out a beacon for help. How can our Zhou family remain indifferent?" ?”

"It's a pity that Zhou was a little slow that day and couldn't save all the fellow Taoists of the Mu family!"

Having said this, he personally stepped forward and helped Mu Yuntian up.

Then he continued to look at the other party and said: "But what Taoist Fellow Mu just said made Zhou a little confused. Since Fellow Taoist said that he came back to rebuild the Mu family with the permission of the sect, will Fellow Daoist continue to practice in Qinglian Temple in the future? "

After hearing his words, Mu Yuntian immediately replied respectfully: "To be honest with you, Senior Zhou, this time I come back to rebuild the Mu family is also a special gift from the sect. I am allowed to stay in the Mu family as a disciple of this sect until now." We will re-cultivate foundation-building monks from the descendants of the Mu family."

"I see, I understand."

Zhou Mingde nodded slightly and understood what he meant.

Then he pondered for a moment, then shook his head slightly and said: "If this is the case, then it is not appropriate for me to go. Let the acting patriarch of the Zhou family and an elder of the Zhou family go."

After he said this, Mu Yuntian's eyes clearly showed a look of despair.

But I also know that since Zhou Mingde said this, it is impossible to change it.

At the moment, he could only respond: "Yes, since the senior has no intention of attending, the junior naturally does not dare to force it. Then the junior will wait for all the Taoist friends of the Zhou family at Biyun Mountain."

Then he left the Zhou family with Zhou Chunxiang seeing him off in despair.

When Zhou Chun saw off Mu Yuntian and returned to Pagoda Peak, Zhou Mingde looked at him and several Zhou family elders and suddenly asked: "What do you think about Mu Yuntian staying in the Mu family as a disciple of Qinglian Temple?" matter?"

When several people heard this, they were all slightly startled, and then they all lowered their heads and thought about the purpose of his question.

But I don't know if they were a little unsure of Zhou Mingde's intention. After several people thought about it for a long time, no one was willing to speak out first.

This made Zhou Mingde raise his eyebrows, and suddenly looked at Zhou Chun and said: "Since the elders are unwilling to speak out first, then this junior Zhengchun, please tell me your opinion first."

When he called his name, Zhou Chun couldn't remain silent. He could only respond: "Yes, then this junior will be embarrassed."

Then he raised his head and said: "This junior thinks that even if someone in the top sects of Qinglian Guan and other powerful sects sympathizes with the Mu family's plight, they are unlikely to take the initiative to help the Mu family rebuild in this way."

"So there is a high probability that Mu Yuntian himself made such a request to the sect, and the senior sect members either sympathized with the Mu family's plight, or for other reasons, allowed him to rebuild the Mu family in this way."

At this point, he paused slightly, lowered his voice slightly, and continued: "Mu Yuntian did this because he wanted to use his status as a disciple of the inner sect of Qinglian Temple to frighten other forces who had thoughts about the Mu family. , I still don’t want to give up my identity as an inner disciple of Qinglian Temple, so I don’t dare to speak nonsense!”

"Yes, it's well said and seen very clearly."

Zhou Mingde looked at Zhou Chun with a hint of surprise, then nodded repeatedly, very satisfied with his answer.

After finishing speaking, he looked at the other elders and asked, "What about you? Do you have anything else to add?"

"This junior feels that Mu Yuntian lacks sincerity. He thanked the Supreme Elder for his kindness in rescuing the Mu family, but he only expressed his gratitude verbally and did not even send a decent gift."

Zhou Jiarui also whispered his opinion at this time.

After he said this, Zhou Chongshan shook his head first and said, "You can't say that. If you don't give a gift, it may be that he thinks it is an ordinary gift and cannot repay this kindness, so he doesn't give it easily."

"Moreover, if the Mu family wants to rebuild, all kinds of expenses are indispensable. If he is a smart man, he should spend every valuable thing he has on rebuilding the family!"

Hearing this, Zhou Jiarui opened his mouth, but still resisted the idea of ​​arguing, and finally whispered: "That may be the case!"

Seeing this, Zhou Mingde also shook his head slightly, waved his hand and said: "Okay, let's stop the analysis. What kind of person Mu Yuntian is, we will know later."

After saying that, he ordered: "Zhengchun, when you and Jiarui go to the Mu family together, pick out some things that are helpful for the reconstruction of the Mu family and send them as gifts. Don't let anyone gossip about our Zhou family."

"Yes, junior, take the order."

Zhou Chun and Zhou Jiarui responded in unison.

Then after Zhou Mingde left, the two also discussed the specific gift-giving matters with other elders.

After such discussions, a suitable gift list was drawn up and related gifts were prepared according to the gift list.

Half a month later, Zhou Chun and Zhou Jiarui went to the Mu family in Biyun Mountain for an appointment with the gifts they had prepared.
