Chapter 70

The distance between Yuquan Lake oasis and Baisha River Oasis is more than 6000 Li. If Zhou Yang flies with his sword alone, one day is enough to arrive, including the time spent on taking a break to replenish mana.

However, when he flew with his mother Lin Yuting, the time was almost doubled and took more than two days to arrive.

When he arrived at Baisha River Oasis, Zhou Yang did not immediately contact Chen Pingzhi. Instead, he first sent his mother Lin Yuting to the newly-built "Ping'an square city" to meet his father Zhou Xuanhao, and then went to the family branch resident "qingniu mountain" established by the Zhou family on Baisha River Oasis.

Qingniu mountain was originally the spirit mountain of a small family practicing Qi on Baisha River Oasis. The level of spirit veins on the mountain is only second-class. This small family has been established for less than 100 years, and there are only eight family friars, including the family owner.

Last time the sand bandits attacked the oasis, this small family was directly destroyed, and only some family mortals survived.

Even if the Chen family wants to help such a small family that has been destroyed, they can't start at all. They can't let a group of mortals occupy Lingshan, and then slowly wait for their family to give birth to a baby with spiritual roots to rebuild the family?

This is simply unrealistic and a great waste of resources.

Therefore, after Liu, Yang and Wednesday said they wanted to establish a family branch in Baisha River Oasis, with a stroke of pen, the ancestors of the Chen family assigned the area of dozens of miles around qingniu mountain and qingniu mountain to the Zhou family as the residence of the family branch.

Five years ago, Zhou Xuanhao led thousands of ordinary people of the Zhou family to Baisha River Oasis and stationed in qingniu mountain. Then the ordinary people of the Zhou family established a small town at the foot of the mountain and slowly spread branches and leaves to expand the number. The monks of the Zhou family built a palace attic on the mountain for the monks to rest and live, "Fengyue tower" was also set up on the mountain.

After Zhou Yang came to qingniu mountain, he first went to the places where the Zhou family lived.

Over the past few years, most of the thousands of Zhou family mortals who migrated here have now spread their branches and leaves and gave birth to offspring. The population of the small town, including those infants in their infancy, has exceeded 5000.

The land of Baishahe oasis is very rich and the grain output is very high. If the land allocated by the Chen family to the Zhou family is fully developed and utilized, it is still possible to feed 10000 or 20000 people.

Moreover, the population is not the livestock in the cattle and sheep pen. The population can flow. At that time, even if the number of Zhou people in qingniu mountain exceeds the limit of land support, they can migrate and leave to settle in other places.

However, those mortals who have left the Zhou family territory cannot enjoy the protection of the Zhou family friars. At that time, they can only feed themselves by themselves.

The troubles of later people can't be felt by predecessors.

The Zhou family mortals in the small town at the foot of qingniu mountain, at least now, are very comfortable.

In order to let them open branches and leaves safely here, the Zhou family directly sent men free wives and women free to help recruit sons-in-law. They directly used the visible benefits to help them find a large number of handsome men and beautiful women to match them from the mortal settlements of small families who were broken down and destroyed. Their life is much better than their relatives in Yuquan Lake oasis.

Zhou Yang observed secretly for a while and confirmed that these mortals didn't complain much about the family's move here. Only then did he leave here happily.

He is the patriarch of the Zhou family, that is, the patriarch of the Xiuxian family of the Zhou family, and also the patriarch of the secular mortals of the Zhou family. He also needs to pay some attention to the ideas of these secular mortals. At least these mortals can't always gnash their teeth when mentioning him as the patriarch, as if they want him to die.

After leaving the mortal settlement, Zhou Yang went to qingniu mountain, the Lingshan mountain.

When Zhou Xuanhao is in charge of "Ping'an square city", qingniu mountain is now headed by Chen Ting, a friar of the Zhou family. This person is the husband of Zhou Xuanyan, the eighth aunt of Zhou Yang. It is just right to be in charge of qingniu mountain. The shopkeeper of "Fengyue building" is a "Golden Flower lady" who is employed by the Zhou family.

After Zhou Yang arrived at qingniu mountain, he didn't see them either. Instead, he first went to the rest room of the women outside the "Fengyue building" to make a mortal woman, then charmed the woman's mind with "Ecstasy" and asked about the "Fengyue building".

Under the influence of "Ecstasy", the woman answered every question. Through her answer, Zhou Yang soon had an intuitive understanding of the operation of the "Fengyue building".

It should be said that the result was satisfactory to him.

When the "Fengyue building" was set up, he formulated some strict regulations. It is strictly prohibited for managers to use their rights to force women in the building to wait on people who are unwilling to wait on them. It is strictly prohibited for casual repairs who come to stay to hurt women in the building, to withhold rewards from women in the building, and to prevent women in the building from quitting for any reason.

Now it seems that the person in charge of the Zhou family here has taken his statement to heart. At least in recent years, the above-mentioned things have not appeared in the "Fengyue building".

Among the mortal women, there were also people who retired after giving birth to offspring, and then took the rewards given by the family to recruit redundant men to form a family in the small town at the foot of the mountain.

After he understood the situation clearly, he solved the effect of "Ecstasy", then put the unconscious woman back to bed and left qingniu mountain directly. He didn't want to meet the two monks on the mountain at all.

He knew very well that as long as he didn't show up and didn't make it clear that he had been here, the friar of the Zhou family in charge of here would never take it lightly and neglect his account.

After walking around qingniu mountain and returning to "Ping'an square city", Zhou Yang sent a message to Chen Pingzhi through the Chen friar in the square city, telling the other party that he was coming.

"Hahaha, Zhou Xiaoyou is really a believer. Chen has been waiting for Xiaoyou for a long time."

Chen Pingzhi was in a hurry. Zhou Yanggang rested for an hour in the newly opened "Yuquan building". When he received the news, he rushed over.

"I haven't been in charge of the family for a long time. I always have something to explain before I go out. It takes a lot of time. Please wait a long time, elder Chen." Zhou Yang arched his hand and showed a trace of apology on his face.

Chen Pingzhi's eyes flashed, and she couldn't help laughing and said, "hahaha, my little friend is serious. We, the foundation building friar, have a life of more than 200 years. What's it worth waiting for a few days? If you still have something unresolved, you can talk about it after it is solved. Chen still can afford to wait at this time! "

"No, I've done everything I need to do. If it's convenient for me, master Chen, I can tell you what you want me to do now." Zhou Yang shook his head, but went straight to the subject and asked Chen Pingzhi about the purpose of his trip.

Seeing him so cheerful, Chen Pingzhi finally showed a heartfelt smile on her face.

He looked at Zhou Yang with a smile and said, "it's a long story. Chen will make a long story short."

"I asked Zhou Xiaoyou to help me this time. I wanted you to accompany me to explore the cave left by an elder monk. The cultivation of the original owner of the cave should not exceed the foundation period. It is not very dangerous for us. The reason why I asked you to help is to take care of me in case of an emergency."

right enough!

After hearing Chen Pingzhi's words, Zhou Yang said in his heart, sure enough.

Since Chen Pingzhi's asking him for help is the same as guessing in advance, he can also answer according to the plan he thought out in advance.

He looked at Chen Pingzhi with a smile on his face and asked solemnly, "if master Chen is so calm, please forgive the younger generation for smelling. I want to ask the elder. If there is anything to be gained from this expedition, can I have the younger generation's share?"

If you owe a favor, you can help, but if you help in vain, you can't.

When Chen Pingzhi lent the cave to build a foundation for him, he also received a lot of benefits from the old patriarch Zhou Minghan. Now he comes to help each other. Of course, it's appropriate to have a reward.

Of course, Chen Pingzhi knew this truth, so she was not angry when she heard him ask. She just restrained her smile on her face, looked at him positively and replied, "if you haven't made a move, Chen will give you a hundred spirit stones. If you make a move, Chen will give you 10-20% of the harvest depending on your contribution. What do you think?"

Of course, the harvest of 10-20% is far lower than that of team exploration among normal friars, but if the factors of returning human feelings are taken into account, this proportion is not unacceptable.

Zhou Yang thought about it and finally nodded and said, "just do what elder Chen said."

"Then you and I should start now." Chen Pingzhi seems to be really in a hurry and will leave immediately.

Since Zhou Yang had promised to help, they had to keep up with him. After they left the square city, they directly released their flying swords and flew to the boundless sand sea outside the Baisha River Oasis.

When Yujian was flying, in order to keep up with Zhou Yang, Chen Pingzhi, who had built the sixth floor of the foundation, deliberately slowed down a lot. At the same time, he also told Zhou Yang why he was anxious to leave.

"It's good for Taoist friends to know that Huang Shamen has agreed to my ancestors' request for help. In a few days, he will send a purple Friar and ten foundation building friars to Baisha River Oasis to help investigate the whereabouts of the sand bandits. At that time, you and me, foundation building friars, will have to help. I'm afraid it's hard to get away in ten or eight years. It's because Chen is in such a hurry."

what?

Zhou Yang was really surprised when he heard the news.

He is not surprised that people will come to Huangsha gate. After all, when the sand bandits attacked Baisha River Oasis, they robbed even their shops in Huangsha gate.

However, the yellow sand gate even sent the purple friar to stay for a long time to help the Chen family search the whereabouts of the sand bandits. The profound meaning is worth pondering.

You should know that the friars in Zifu period are a turnip and a pit. Usually they are in charge of important affairs.

If the Chen family finds the whereabouts of the gang of sand bandits and applies to the Huangsha sect for high-level friars' assistance, it is normal for the Huangsha sect to send friars of Zifu period to help.

But now the Chen family doesn't even know where the sand bandits are. It's amazing that the Huangsha sect can send a high-ranking Zifu friar to lead ten foundation building friars to stay in Baisha River Oasis for a long time.

Zhou Yang, as the patriarch of the Zhou family, certainly cares about this situation. Therefore, although he knows that it is inappropriate to ask this question, he still can't help asking Chen Pingzhi, "excuse me, younger generation. Can elder Chen know why huangshamen did this? Who will be the purple master of the yellow sand gate? "

"Little friend, I've asked Chen. The contact with Huangsha gate is all done by Lao Zu himself. Chen now doesn't know how Lao Zu talked about Huangsha gate. That's the news. My brother told Chen secretly!"

Chen Pingzhi doesn't know whether he really doesn't know or doesn't want to say more. Anyway, Zhou Yang can't get any useful information from him.

This cast a shadow over his heart.

He knew very well that there must be a reason for the abnormal behavior of the yellow sand gate, and their vassal families under the yellow sand gate would certainly be involved.

He couldn't help thinking of his guess about the origin of the gang of sand bandits. Was he really right?
