Chapter 230

Zhou Yuanjing, the elder of the Zhou family, accidentally fell outside. This matter soon spread in the Zhou family, and even many people in other families knew about it.

The friars of the Zhou family talked about it. Many people wrote to the friars in the foundation period of the family, asking to find out the truth and severely punish the murderer.

The friars of the Zhou family who built the foundation also responded to the demands of the people. Three friars of the foundation period, Zhou Yang, Zhou Minghan and Huang Yi, set out separately from the Yuquan Lake oasis and carried out a dragnet search along the road to the Baisha River Oasis.

They searched for Zhou Yuanjing continuously for a month, but they couldn't find the place where Zhou Yuanjing was killed. Finally, they could only issue a reward order to ask all monks for information about Zhou Yuanjing, even if it was the place where Zhou Yuanjing was killed.

"Obviously, Yuan Jing must have been attacked by the friars in the foundation period whose strength was far more than her own, and then she was killed without any resistance. Only in this way can it explain why the three friars searched for a month and couldn't find the trace of fighting method!"

On Yuquan peak, the three friars of the Zhou family returned to the family after the search. They closed the door and talked about their views on the fall of Zhou Yuanjing.

As an elder, Zhou Minghan, the old patriarch, was the first to say his own speculation.

When Zhou Yang heard the speech, he was not in a hurry to express his opinions. Instead, he looked at Huang Yi and asked, "Taoist Huang, you used to be a casual practitioner. You should know more about the casual practitioners and sand bandits in the Baisha River immortal cultivation world than we do. Do you think that with the cultivation of Starling brother combined with the magic tools and amulets on your body, you can practice Qi and kill him instantly?"

Huang Yi didn't want to comment on this kind of thing, but Zhou Yang asked him. It seems inappropriate for him not to say anything.

Then he said, "if it's a frontal confrontation, it must be impossible for friars in the Qi training period to leave no obvious traces of fighting skills when they kill elder Yuanjing in an instant, but it's hard to say if it's a sneak attack."

What he said was ambiguous. He said it without saying it. It was very smooth.

Zhou Yang frowned slightly, nodded and said, "I see. Let's stop here for the time being. I'll appease the people and explain the situation."

He did not say what he thought.

Next, Zhou Yang personally explained the investigation to the people. In his mouth, Zhou Yuanjing was missing rather than dead, because the Zhou family did not find his remains and relics.

Of course, many people know that 90% of the so-called "missing" is equal to death. Using the definition of "missing" shows that the foundation builders of the family don't want to make this too big and affect the operation of the whole family.

Of course, if you just do this, you can't fully convince others. So Zhou Yang said: "rest assured, the family will continue to pay attention to the investigation of elder Yuanjing's disappearance. Moreover, because he disappeared for the purpose of performing the family's task, on behalf of the family, I will contribute 2000 points to his descendants as a pension, And transfer the contribution points he accumulated during his lifetime to his descendants intact. "

The pension of 2000 contribution points is definitely not low, and Zhou Yuanjing's descendants can inherit the contribution points he accumulated during his lifetime.

This time, many friars of the Zhou family stopped talking.

At this time, they finally realized the superiority of the contribution point over the spirit stone. This thing not only doesn't need to occupy a place like the spirit stone, but also follows people. Even if you die outside because of an accident, your family contribution point can still be passed on intact to future generations.

Among the descendants of Zhou Yuanjing, there are only two descendants with inferior spiritual roots. The contribution points obtained by Zhou Yuanjing before her life and after her death are divided by them, so that the two descendants who only practice the second and third levels of Qi are richer than many later monks.

Next, the storm caused by Zhou Yuanjing's "disappearance" was deliberately diluted by the family's senior management, and soon passed. Only some Zhou family people who were originally going to travel were affected by this matter, temporarily postponed their trip and prepared to wait and see for a while.

Only Zhou Yang personally went to Baishahe oasis to escort Zhou Yuanpeng, the 10th younger brother who is also a new elder of the Zhou family, to Yuquan building to replace Zhou Xuanjin, and then take Zhou Xuanjin back to Yuquan Lake oasis for the elderly.

It looks like it's over.

So after the past six months, the monks of the Zhou family who delayed their travel plans saw that the situation seemed to calm down. Several brave people submitted an application to the family elders, and then walked alone or in groups of twos and threes, leaving the Yuquan Lake oasis and entering the vast sand sea with their relatives and friends.

Zhou Yang was attacked by sand bandits when he first went from Yuquan Lake oasis to Baishahe oasis, which shows that the road is not peaceful.

However, in recent decades, with the strength of the Zhou family getting stronger and stronger day by day, and a large number of sand bandits were killed in the demon chaos, the friars of the Zhou family basically did not encounter any danger when walking this road.

Now Zhou Yuanjing, the elder of the Zhou family, suddenly "disappeared" on this road, making this originally safe road unsafe again.

On that day, after a sandstorm, a monk of the Zhou family riding a camel suddenly came along the road.

This week, the friar of the Zhou family only practiced five layers of Qi by looking at the breath, and his face was also a little immature. He rode on the camel's back and stared at the sand sea in front of the camel, as if he could see whether it was normal sand or quicksand with quicksand traps.

This way, at first glance, is the kind of rookie newcomers who rarely go far.

These newcomers have always been the favorite targets of sand bandits.

In the vast sand sea, as long as the hands and feet are clean, everything will be buried by yellow sand, just like the "missing" elder of the Zhou family.

The peepers hiding in the dark thought of this. Their eyes were cold and their hearts began to kill.

However, he didn't start at once, but continued to hide in the dark and peep. He didn't jump up from the sand where he was hiding until the friar of the Zhou family rode a camel for dozens of miles. He stepped on a sword light and ran after the friar of the Zhou family.

Because it was flying close to the ground, until he was less than ten miles away from the target, friar Zhou, who was riding on the camel's back, finally broke through the sound of flying a sword and found that he was followed by a foundation friar who could fly with a sword.

But at this time, there is obviously no difference between finding and not finding.

The peeper didn't mean to talk nonsense with the target at all. When he got close to the target for two or three miles, he immediately waved his sleeve and released another flying sword to stab the target.

However, to his surprise, as soon as he released his flying sword, a cold hum suddenly sounded in his ear.

Hum!

The cold hum made the peepers scared the dead. The sword light at his feet immediately turned and he was about to run away.

He recognized the owner of the voice!

It's the man's voice!

It's the voice of the man he hates and fears!

At this time, he had no time to think about why the man was here. He just wanted to escape and escape from the man's attack range first!

Unfortunately, as soon as he escaped dozens of feet away, he suddenly seemed to have lost his mind. With a loud cry, "ah", he fell down with his head in his hands and the flying sword fell on the sand below.

Fortunately, the sand was soft, and the height of his flight was not high at that time. In order to build the monk's physique during the foundation period, this fall could not kill him. At most, he suffered some internal injuries.

But is it really that simple?

Obviously not.

Although the cultivation of this peeping person is not low and has four floors of foundation, how can Zhou Yang's "God killing needle" feel so good?

With the strength of his divine consciousness, although he would not be directly crushed by this blow, his consciousness would become a vegetable, but he also suffered a heavy blow and fainted on the spot.

Zhou Yang, disguised as a monk in the Qi training period, rode on the camel's back. At this time, he moved and quickly stepped on the sword light to fall in front of the peeper on the ground. Then he waved his arm and opened the ghost face mask refined with "forbidden stone" on the peeper's face.

The ghost face mask was lifted, and a strange and familiar face appeared in Zhou Yang's eyes.

"Sure enough, it's you, Chen Fangli!"

Zhou Yang looked at the face of the comatose on the ground. There was not much surprise on his face.

This Chen Fangli, who failed to make trouble at his foundation building celebration more than 20 years ago, was severely beaten in the face by him. After returning, he was banned from the white hump by the ancestors of the Chen family for 20 years.

At that time, the relationship between Chen and Zhou was in the honeymoon period, which exposed the "Qianyang treasure body". Because he was valued by Cao Wenjin, he also became an object worthy of solicitation in the hearts of Chen's ancestors.

Chen Fangli represents the Chen family to find Zhou Yang's trouble on such an important occasion as the foundation building celebration. Of course, the ancestors of the Chen family can't spare him.

But now times have changed and the world has changed. The relationship between the Chen family and the Zhou family has formed a practical break.

At this time, Chen Fangli was released after the expiration of his 20-year foot ban. After discovering this situation, how could he not feel vindictive?

When Zhou Yang investigated the murder of Zhou Yuanjing, the first suspect was the Chen family.

When he investigated the recent whereabouts of the Chen family's friars during the foundation period, he happened to find that Chen Fangli had a high-profile record of going in and out of Ping'an square city, so he listed this person as the biggest suspect.

However, suspicion belongs to doubt. Without evidence, he certainly did not dare to go to the Chen family to plead guilty.

So he and the old patriarch Zhou Minghan searched wantonly for a month, and issued a high reward order to find Zhou Yuanjing's whereabouts. The appearance of "incompetence and rage" made the murderer relax his vigilance.

Secretly, the plan of "pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger" has long been formulated.

He knew very well that if the murderer was really Chen Fangli, he would never be satisfied with killing Zhou Yuanjing.

How can Chen Fangli, who has been banned for 20 years, vent his resentment if he just kills Zhou Yuanjing, who practices Qi on the ninth floor?

Now facts have proved that Zhou Yang's inference is completely correct. After tasting the sweetness of killing Zhou Yuanjing, Chen Fangli refused to stop. He continued to ambush on this road and prepared to attack other Zhou friars.
