Chapter 264

Red fox ridge.

When Zhou Yang and Zhou Guangxiang returned here, white curtains were still hanging in front of the doors of the houses and on the trees above Lingshan.

The fall of Zhou Minghan, the old patriarch, is a very sad thing for all Zhou family members.

As far as the Zhou family is concerned, he is not only a nine storey monk who built the foundation and a third-order top-grade tool refiner, but also an elder who is admired and respected by all.

It's not too much for the Zhou family to dress up and wear filial piety for the death of such an elder.

"Yang'er, this is the suicide note left by the old patriarch to you. This suicide note was also found together with his storage bag after his death. He had long cherished the will to die and had long hidden his magic tools and savings in the family spirit items shipped back!"

On the red fox ridge, when Zhou Yang put the urn formed after the cremation of the head of the old patriarch Zhou Minghan into the ancestral temple, Zhou Xuanhao, who accompanied him to worship, took out a jade slip and gave it to him.

Zhou Minghan wrote several suicide notes. Everyone close to him has one. Now only Zhou Yang and Zhou Xuanyu have not been opened.

"Is there still no news from adoptive mother and sister?"

Zhou Yang clenched the jade slip with a heavy heart. Instead of eager to open it for reading, he asked about his adoptive mother Zhou Xuanyu.

Since Zhou Xuanyu went out to practice with Zhou yuanyao seven or eight years ago, there has been no news. If it weren't for the soul card she left in the family, all the top leaders of the Zhou family would doubt whether she fell accidentally.

Zhou Yang knew that although Zhou Minghan had never mentioned it, the old patriarch certainly hoped that his only granddaughter would accompany him to his death when Shouyuan was getting closer and closer to the deadline.

Now that Zhou Minghan has passed away, leaving aside the matter of his death, Zhou Yang can guess that Zhou Xuanyu will be mentioned in the suicide note given to him by the old patriarch.

"No, the last time the third sister asked Yao'er to send the message was five years ago. At that time, her letter only said that everything was normal and didn't mention anything else."

Zhou Xuanhao shook his head and answered Zhou Yang's question in a low voice.

"I see."

Zhou Yang was silent for a while, nodded, then went directly back to Ziyun Cave's bedroom, opened Zhou Minghan's suicide note and read it.

"Xiao Jiu, when you see this suicide note, I must be dead."

"You are the pride of our Zhou family. I am very satisfied with everything you have done since you took over as patriarch, but what I am not satisfied with is that you have to be strong in everything. You only want to be worthy of your heart, but don't consider the consequences of your failure!"

"You are the head of the Zhou family and the hope of the whole Zhou family. Have you ever thought about what kind of situation the Zhou family will fall into if something happens to you?"

"I'm not accusing you, but I want to warn you for the last time. Since you choose to be the patriarch of the Zhou family, you must change your style in the future!"

"No matter what others do, I just want a clear conscience. It is only suitable for those solitary monks!"

"As the head of the Zhou family, you don't talk about personal affairs. When it comes to the affairs of the whole family, you should learn to focus on the overall situation, don't involve too many personal feelings to make decisions, and make decisions throughout the overall situation."

"A gecko with a broken tail can be reborn, but a snake without a head will die!"

"The Zhou family is happy because of Xiao Jiu. If something happens to Xiao Jiu, the Zhou family will die because of you!"

"I know you are smart and have your own opinions. No matter how reasonable others' words are, you may not listen to them. Therefore, I don't argue with you about who goes to the Chen family to support you this time. I can only give you this last lesson with my own body. I hope you can focus on the overall situation when you experience similar things in the future and don't rely on personal feelings!"

……

After reading Zhou Minghan's suicide note, Zhou Yang's eyes were wet with tears.

"I hurt my great grandfather!"

He remembered the conversation between himself and the old patriarch Zhou Minghan that day, and the way Zhou Minghan wanted to talk and stopped at that time. His face was suddenly full of regret.

If he didn't know that Zhou Minghan's Shouyuan had been gone for a few years and wanted him to stay in the family and rest assured and wait for the deadline to come, Zhou Minghan would not be so determined to teach him the last lesson of life with his own life!

Now think about it, if Zhou Minghan was allowed to go to the white hump at that time, he had the protection of the mountain protection array. With Zhou Minghan's cultivation, it would not be a problem for Cao Wenjin to come to the end.

It's a pity that there is no regret in the world. He won't think of it in advance. Instead, he did something wrong with his kindness!

In a sense, Zhou Minghan's goal has been achieved. The last lesson he taught Zhou Yang with his life is really thought-provoking, which makes Zhou Yang unforgettable in this life.

In this way, Zhou Yang locked himself in his bedroom for seven days before he went out of the bedroom to deal with family affairs.

The migration of the Zhou family friars to Chihu ridge naturally brought great pressure to the Lingshan mountain here. After all, this is hundreds of Qi training friars and several foundation building friars.

But now the situation is uncertain, Zhou Yang dare not rush people to move back to Yuquan Lake oasis.

Therefore, after careful consideration, he decided to let some low-level friars return to Yuquan peak and Haoyang mountain to cultivate the spiritual land, not to let the spiritual land be abandoned. At the same time, he also let the Zhou family know that the Zhou family friars did not really give up them.

The rest of the monks are still practicing hard at Chihu ridge for the time being.

In order to solve the problem of spiritual energy consumed by these people's cultivation, Zhou Yang specially took 30000 spiritual stones from his family's savings and raised the spiritual pulse level of Chihu mountain to the third level of middle grade.

Then he asked his father Zhou Xuanhao to take over the position of the old patriarch Zhou Minghan and handle family affairs on behalf of the patriarch when he was closed and not in the family.

In this way, after handling all kinds of urgent things that need to be handled by himself, Zhou Yang said goodbye to his father and Taoist partners and sat up dead in Ziyun Cave.

This time, he won't go out until he is promoted to the ninth floor of the foundation!

……

Zhou Yang's seclusion did not affect the operation of the Zhou family, nor did it affect the situation of the boundless sand sea fairy world.

After he was closed for more than half a year, Jiang Yuyan officially practiced as a "golden pill for outsiders" and left the customs.

After she left the pass, Cao Wenjin, who had only a few longevity yuan, immediately led dozens of family foundation building friars with her to attack the Lingshan mountain where Guo Shuyun was stationed.

Originally, Guo Shuyun and Luo Yunqing signed an agreement on an offensive and defensive alliance. If either party is attacked, the other party needs support.

Just in the face of Jiang Yuyan who has become a "golden pill for outsiders" and Cao Wenjin whose real strength is unknown, Luo Yunqing doesn't have the courage to leave the array and go out to fight.

Therefore, Guo Shuyun, who was finally helpless, had to abandon Lingshan after insisting on it for several months. He escaped from the siege alone through "blood escape" and fled to Luofeng mountain to join Luo Yunqing.

After breaking through the Lingshan mountain occupied by Guo Shuyun, Jiang Yuyan and Cao Wenjin slaughtered all the rebellious monks who followed Guo Shuyun on the Lingshan mountain, and then surrounded Luofeng mountain with a large army, completely cutting off the communication channel between Luofeng mountain and the outside world.

However, they can only surround Luofeng mountain. Facing Luofeng mountain, which is garrisoned by Luo Yunqing, Guo Shuyun, two Zifu friars and dozens of foundation building friars, unless they can gather hundreds of foundation building friars and two or three thousand Qi training friars to attack it for a year and a half, they don't want to break through the mountain protection array of Luofeng mountain.

It's not that Huangsha gate can't do this, but to do this, we must completely calm the rebellious friars outside Luofeng mountain, so that they can do it without worries.

The friars of the Zhou family did not participate in the battle of Luofeng mountain, but the brothers and sisters of Zhou Guangxiang and Zhou Guangxiang and more than a dozen friars in the later stage of Qi practice were also sent to help Huang Sha men calm down the rebel families.

For these people, this counter insurgency is not only an opportunity to experience, but also an opportunity to reap benefits.

But such a good scene did not last long. After encircling Luofeng mountain for a year, Cao Wenjin finally sat down in the front-line army.

His sitting position not only reduced the top combat power of Huangsha gate, but also a major blow to the morale of the army.

Without his help, Jiang Yuyan alone could still crush Luo Yunqing and Guo Shuyun in combat effectiveness, but he could not completely block Luofeng mountain and prevent any friars from entering and leaving.

Moreover, after the news of Cao Wenjin's sitting was spread, some forces and scattered practitioners who had previously ceased to dare to act rashly began to be ready to move again.

The friars of Luo Yunqing, who were still fighting guerrillas with the anti rebel friars of huangshamen in the sand sea, returned to the family Lingshan with high morale and set up an anti flag, ready to unite to solve the siege of Luofeng mountain.

For a time, the boundless sand sea Xiuxian world, which had just settled down, was in chaos again.

Zhou Yang, who sits dead in Ziyun Cave, naturally knows nothing about all these changes.

In his closed pass, the wild flowers on Chihu mountain opened and thanked, thanked and opened again.

After nine times of blooming and fading, the door of the closed room was finally opened from the inside.

Nine years!

After nine years of isolation, Zhou Yang finally got out of the customs.

There is no doubt that after leaving the pass, he officially became a nine story monk who built the foundation. Since then, as long as he did not open up the purple house, his mana will not increase any more.

In nine years, he was promoted from the eighth floor of the foundation to the ninth floor of the foundation. It's hard to believe that this speed is placed on ordinary friars. Even the top-grade Linggen friars like Xiao Ying can't do this.

But in the Zhou family, this kind of thing happened to Zhou Yang, but no one has questioned and wondered about it.

The people of the Zhou family are used to the speed of his cultivation improvement.

Compared with his previous accomplishments, it took him nine years to improve one level of accomplishments this time. In the eyes of some low-level friars who did not know the difficulties, they even felt slow.

Zhou Yang himself is not very satisfied with this speed.

You know, during his nine years of isolation, he not only used up the "Yuhua Zhu Ludan" he bought from Huangsha gate and the elixir he got in xijiaozhou, but also took the remaining "huojiao pill" used by the old patriarch Zhou Minghan.

"I thought I could enter the ninth floor of the foundation before I was 100 years old, but I didn't expect to reach this step until I was 103 years old. The road of practice is really more backward and more difficult!"
