Chapter 724: Fighting against the real person Yin Yue
Lin Hongyu's death can be said to represent the end of an era for the Zhou family.
Compared with Zhou Chun, Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi, they felt more deeply about this.
Although the two of them had watched themselves grow older year by year, they subconsciously did not think about their own death and avoided talking about it.
Now that Lin Hongyu has passed away, they have to face themselves and think more about what's behind them.
Since both of them have no heirs, their thoughts about what will happen after their death are undoubtedly focused on their family.
So Zhou Mingde took the initiative to ask for help and gathered people to start compiling the family history.
The family history of the Zhou family must now be divided into two parts, one during the Sanjue Sect period, and the other after coming to Jingguo.
For today's Zhou family members, the latter part is obviously more important.
Zhou Mingde, as the person who single-handedly rebuilt the Zhou family, has personally experienced all kinds of things in the Zhou family over the past hundreds of years. No one knows these things better than him.
He also wanted to compile a glorious historical chapter in the last few years of his life, so that future generations can understand the deeds of their ancestors and remember their contributions to the family by reading family history!
Zhou Chun was naturally very supportive of this.
Zhou Zhengchun, the central figure of the Zhou family, must become the most important protagonist in the history of the Zhou family.
There was no reason for him not to support something like this that would be passed down through the ages.
But when Zhou Mingde was writing history, Zhou Chun sent his avatar to the place where Zhou Daoquan was hiding to cultivate, to visit the family elder who had turned to ghost cultivation.
Zhou Chun now has a clear understanding of why ghost cultivation has become a taboo in the world of immortality after what happened when Master Xuanzhen came to his door.
As far as he knew, the emergence of the ghost cultivation method happened just after the evil spirit appeared in this world, which can be said to be very strange.
At that time, a sixth-level existence who called himself "Netherworld God" suddenly appeared in the world of immortal cultivation and spread the ghost cultivation method.
What happened next is not difficult to imagine.
Because ghost cultivation has the advantage of not having to worry about longevity, many monks who are approaching the end of their lifespan will choose to become ghost cultivators, and there are even some venerables in the god-transformation stage!
And with the emergence of a large number of ghost cultivators, those knowledgeable people in the world of immortality finally discovered something was wrong.
First of all, if a monk wants to switch to ghost cultivation, he must find a sinister place as a dojo.
However, there are very few natural evil places in the world of immortal cultivation. Once too many people turn to ghost cultivation, and ghost cultivation has no concern for longevity, then the territory will obviously not be enough for people to divide it.
As a result, some people will naturally start to commit mass murder and artificially create a place of evil.
Under the circumstances at that time, this would undoubtedly further damage the living environment of the entire human race.
Secondly, the consciousness of people who turn to ghost cultivation will be infected by the ghost energy of the underworld, and their minds will become more evil and violent, making it difficult to get along and communicate normally.
Many monks who turn to ghost cultivation are often high-ranking members of a sect. Their original intention, in addition to not wanting to die, is also because they can continue to protect the sect and family.
But in fact, later on, they will destroy their own sect and family with their own hands!
At that time, it was not uncommon for some sects and families to have their entire families sacrificed to practice their magic by a certain ghost cultivator ancestor.
Third, some ghost cultivators would always die and disappear inexplicably, and later the God Transformation Master discovered that the "Netherworld God Lord"'s cultivation strength had grown extremely fast, which was obviously not in line with the growth of the cultivation level of the God Transformation Stage monks in this world.
Condition.
Therefore, they speculated and concluded that the death and disappearance of those ghost cultivators were all the work of the "Netherworld God", who relied on other ghost cultivators as cultivation qualifications to achieve rapid progress in cultivation.
That’s okay!!
At that time, due to the emergence of turbid and evil energy, all the venerables in the transformation stage had no way to ascend, and their cultivation was greatly affected.
But the "Netherworld God" still wants to plot against them and cut their leeks!
How can they endure this!
As a result, the entire world of immortal cultivation soon began to destroy ghost cultivation methods and annihilate ghost cultivators in various places. Any force that collects ghost cultivation methods and protects ghost cultivators was classified as an enemy of the human race.
The "Netherworld God Lord" was besieged by many god-transforming Lords, and after a great battle, he never appeared again.
In this campaign to slay evil spirits and exterminate ghosts, more than 90% of the ghost cultivators in the world of immortality were killed. Almost all the evil places that could be found were searched more than once, and many evil places were destroyed.
Destroyed by force.
In the years to come, once ghost cultivators dare to show their faces, they will be immediately suppressed and killed.
The method of cultivating ghosts was even destroyed and banned, becoming an untouchable taboo in the world of cultivating immortals.
In the past few thousand years, due to the prohibition of ghost cultivation, ghost cultivation has rarely appeared.
The world of immortal cultivators has become less vigilant against ghost cultivators.
Many forces and monks who do not have deep knowledge about it do not know much about the "disaster of the underworld" and do not know the harm that ghost cultivators have caused to the world of immortality.
Zhou Chun in the past was undoubtedly that kind of person.
In a sense, this is also the price of the growth of small forces.
Some so-called "taboos" in the world of immortality are not explicitly informed to everyone. Once someone touches them, big forces can use them as a handle to manipulate the other party.
Zhou Chunde thanked Master Tianjing for helping him avoid the thunder and allowing him to stop in time without spreading the method of ghost cultivation.
However, many times, knowing something is one thing, but whether it can be done is another.
After Zhou Chun learned about the dangers of ghost cultivation earlier, he had no plans to let his family elders switch to ghost cultivation.
But now that he found out that his two closest elders were running out of life, he couldn't help but think about it.
At this time, I went to visit Zhou Daoquan because I wanted to confirm the rumors about ghost cultivators and whether they were really that evil.
Speaking of which, it has been four to five hundred years since Zhou Daoquan turned to ghost cultivation.
When he first switched to the ghost cultivation method, he was just a monk at the Zifu stage, but now he has lived the lifespan of a monk at the Golden Core stage.
From this aspect, he must have made a lot of money.
Over the past hundreds of years, Zhou Chun has visited Zhou Daoquan several times, including Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi.
From the visits and exchanges, the three of them could feel that Zhou Daoquan's character had changed.
It's just that the three of them deliberately didn't delve into it before, thinking that as long as he still knew them and others and retained their previous memories, it would be fine.
This time Zhou Chun went to the Yinsha place where Zhou Daoquan lived and practiced, but he did not show up immediately. Instead, he secretly hid outside the Yinsha place and observed.
With the ability of ghost cultivators in the Yin Evil Land, even if a Nascent Soul Stage monk enters the Yin Evil Land, he will be quickly discovered by Zhou Daoquan.
But if he didn't enter the land of Yin evil, it would not be easy for him to discover it with Zhou Chun's ability.
After several months of secret observation, Zhou Chunye's expression became solemn and ugly.
Because he discovered that Zhou Daoquan had raised a group of corpse soldiers in the land of evil without telling them, and also sent the psychic zombie incarnation to capture mortals in the wilderness!
This discovery made Zhou Chun shudder.
Of course he knew what Zhou Daoquan was doing by arresting mortals.
In the ghost cultivation method, there is a lot of content about using mortal souls to practice secret magic powers and refining ghost magic weapons.
Zhou Daoquan must be doing these things when arresting mortals now!
And now he only sees the psychic zombie incarnate to arrest mortals. No one knows if Zhou Daoquan has also secretly arrested the monks who pioneered the Zhou family!
You know, in the Zhou family’s pioneering stronghold in the wilderness, people are missing and injured almost every year!
Therefore, after discovering this, Zhou Chun gave up completely.
Even now I regret very much why I gave Zhou Daoquan the complete inheritance of ghost cultivation that I had obtained.
If he doesn't know the methods of cultivating those ghostly secrets and magical powers, maybe even if he has evil intentions, there will be no stage for him to show them!
But now that the mistake has been made, Zhou Chun also knows that regret is useless.
The most urgent task is to think about how to deal with this matter.
The best way is, of course, to kill the relatives out of righteousness and send Zhou Daoquan’s soul directly to the netherworld!
But thinking of Zhou Daoquan's kindness to him during his lifetime, and the fact that he personally facilitated his transformation into a ghost cultivator, Zhou Chun could not make up his mind to take action directly.
After thinking painfully for a while, Zhou Chun decided to kill his psychic zombie clone first and cut off his tentacles extending to the outside world.
For the rest of the matter, I will go back and discuss it with Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi before making a decision!
So after squatting for more than a month, when the zombie clone went out, Zhou Chun directly suppressed and destroyed it with all his strength, without even giving Zhou Daoquan's clone a chance to intercede!
Zhou Chun then went to visit Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi and explained his discovery.
"I didn't expect that this method of ghost cultivation would be so evil. In this case, we were the ones who harmed Daoquan!!"
After Zhou Mingde listened to Zhou Chun's account, he couldn't help but sigh in sadness with an ugly look on his face.
He is not a good person, and he used to sneak attack other monks in order to fight for treasures.
However, Zhou Daoquan's current behavior of extracting living souls to practice secret techniques and sacrifice magical weapons is completely beyond his bottom line and cannot be accepted by him.
The Zhou family has never regarded itself as a well-known and upright family, but they would not do anything that would harm nature on a large scale.
"The junior has destroyed Uncle Daoquan's zombie clone. He should not be able to come out to harm others now, but he must know that it was the junior's handiwork. I'm afraid it will be difficult for the junior to appear in front of him again in the future!"
Zhou Chun spoke in a low tone about what he had done, and was in a very bad mood.
His bad mood was not entirely due to the change in Zhou Daoquan's character, but more to the fact that Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi were blocked from extending their lives through ghost cultivation in the future.
Zhou Mingde naturally didn't know what he was thinking. Seeing his depressed mood, he thought he was just blaming himself and regretting that he had persuaded Zhou Daoquan to turn to the ghost path. Then he nodded to him gently and said: "Well, Zhengchun, you can just do it for the time being."
Don't appear in front of Daoquan, I will go see him in person and explain the situation to him!"
Hearing this, Zhou Chun didn't think much about it and just responded in a low voice: "Then I'll thank you for getting old."
However, what Zhou Chun didn't expect was that after Zhou Mingde went to the wilderness, he came back and told him that Zhou Daoquan's soul had been sent back to the netherworld!
"It's not good for you to do this. As the elder of Daoquan, since he has done something inhumane, I have the responsibility to punish him!"
Facing the astonished Zhou Chun, Zhou Mingde just told the reason for doing this in a calm tone.
Then he said to Zhou Chun with a serious face: "The way of ghost cultivation is not tolerated in the world of immortal cultivation. Back then, we didn't know the inside story, and it was understandable that we committed taboos. Now the family has such a huge scale.
Supporting thousands of people, this is a taboo thing that can lead to going home and exterminating the clan. Remember not to do it again!"
Hearing his words, Zhou Chun couldn't help being slightly startled. After a long time, he responded to him in a deep voice as if he had some understanding: "I understand, junior. Don't worry. If there is such a reckless person in the family in the future,
, this junior will definitely clean up the house with his own hands without any mercy!"
"It's good if you understand!"
When Zhou Mingde saw the change in his expression, he knew that he really understood what he meant, and a look of relief appeared on his face.
Then he said with emotion: "I have recently compiled the family history, and looking back on the past, I also learned some truths from the forces that were overthrown by our Zhou family."
"If a force wants to prosper for a long time, and if it wants to continue to pass down the family steadily even when it is declining, in addition to having capable leaders, the more important thing is to maintain a good family tradition and prevent the disciples from provoking strong men and bringing negative consequences to the family.
Disaster!"
"We had nothing before. In order to survive, sometimes we would do whatever we could. There was no other way."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "But now that our family has a big business and abundant resources, sometimes we still can't do things too extreme without leaving a way out for ourselves!"
Zhou Chun was greatly surprised when these words came out of his mouth.
Even a little gratified.
In the past, Zhou Chun often argued with this elder on some principled matters, and both of them had their own victories and defeats.
Sometimes Zhou Mingde would be persuaded by him and step back to agree with his approach.
Sometimes, after seeing that he could not change the elder's decision, he had no choice but to give in.
Zhou Mingde's remarks today would never have come out of his mouth in the past.
This also made Zhou Chun feel quite emotional.
As expected, human thoughts will continue to change with changes in time and environment.
At that moment, he couldn't help but echoed from the bottom of his heart: "What you said is absolutely true. The younger generation has always thought this way!"
After Zhou Mingde took action to solve the hidden danger of Zhou Daoquan, Zhou Chun felt relieved.
Only the elder monks of the Zhou family knew about this matter, and everyone tacitly agreed not to mention it further, but only destroyed the ghost cultivation method that was originally stored in the family secret vault.
Three years later, a piece of information that surprised Zhou Chun suddenly reached him.
But it turned out that it was a traveling monk from the Zhou family who discovered the whereabouts of a suspected descendant of the hidden lineage of Qinglian Temple!
According to the information above, Wang Shengnan, a female cultivator from the Zhou family's Zifu period, was ordered to go to Bamboo Leaf Island in Leguo to help the people there eradicate an evil monster. She accidentally discovered that the monster was the spiritual pet of a certain monk.
During her fight with the Zifu period monk, the other party had no choice but to use the Green Lotus Temple's iconic Lotus Secret Technique under her pressure.
Over the years, the Zhou family has never given up on searching for the descendant of the hidden lineage of Qinglian Temple, and the relevant reward tasks have always been hung in a conspicuous position in the General Affairs Hall.
After Wang Shengnan found out that his opponent might be a hidden descendant of Qinglian Temple, he had no intention of fighting, so he took the initiative to let the opponent go, and then quickly returned to his family to report the matter.
Zhou Xinyan also knew that Zhou Chun attached great importance to the successors of the hidden lineage of Qinglian Temple, so after receiving Wang Shengnan's report, he immediately sent the information to Zhou Chun.
After reading the information handed over at this time, Zhou Chun also personally called the female cultivator to the cave for questioning.
"The younger generation pays homage to the patriarch, the patriarch Sheng'an."
In Zhouchun Cave Mansion, Wang Shengnan came here for the first time. After seeing Zhou Chun, a legendary member of the Zhou family, he was very nervous and excited. As soon as he came up, he knelt down and saluted.
Zhou Chun casually glanced at the woman in black kneeling on the ground, and said in a gentle tone: "Don't be nervous, I asked you to come here, I just want to know more about the suspected descendants of Qinglian Temple you met in Leguo.
It’s just a matter of fact.”
"Yes, I will tell you everything I know!"
Wang Shengnan quickly agreed and then took the initiative to tell what happened.
In her detailed account, Zhou Chun also had a general understanding of the matter.
When he learned that the monster that harmed the monks of the Zhou family on Zhuye Island in Leguo was driven here by someone suspected to be a descendant of the hidden lineage of Qinglian Temple, he couldn't help but narrow his eyes and murmured: "It's interesting, I'm here."
As a successor of the hidden lineage, instead of practicing hard and restoring the sect, you take the initiative to provoke my Zhou family. Is this because you are blinded by hatred, or do you have some other agenda?"
Always cautious, he felt that this matter might not be that simple.
But since he finally discovered the information, even if someone is really plotting against him, Zhou Chun must investigate clearly who is plotting against him!
Therefore, after pondering for a while, he decided to go to Le Country to investigate in person.
Of course, the enemy might try to lure the tiger away from the mountain, so Zhou Chun only brought Feng Yuanjun and Mu Sang with him this time, while both Fushanjun and Yinlongjun accompanied Luo Qingni to guard the mountain gate.
What Zhou Chun didn't expect was that as soon as he arrived at the Zhou family enclave of Bamboo Leaf Island in Leguo, the person behind the scenes took the initiative to show up!
"Oh, it turns out that you are causing trouble again, fellow Taoist Yinyue. I said that since the hidden lineage descendants of Qinglian Temple have been hiding for hundreds of years, how could they suddenly be so stupid and take the initiative to provoke my Zhou family!"
In the sky, Zhou Chun looked at Master Yin Yue who suddenly appeared, and said with a gloomy face.
When he said these words, his mind was extremely tense, and his consciousness spread out with all his strength, looking for possible hidden enemies.
He naturally knew that if Master Yinyue used this method to fish him out, it must be because of bad intentions!
So now he is extremely nervous inside.
Seeing his nervous look, Master Yinyue also said with some sarcasm: "Zhou Zhengchun, since you have doubts in your heart, you dare to come directly to investigate like this. It seems that you are really a brave man with a high skill and not afraid."
It’s dangerous!”
"Hmph! Stop talking nonsense, old man Yinyue, what tricks did you want to play by bringing Zhou here?"
Zhou Chun snorted coldly, no longer maintaining the surface politeness, and directly asked the other party's intentions in a foul language.
Although he knew that he was being plotted, as Master Yin Yue said, he was a brave person and would not panic too much.
With his current ability, and with Fengyuanjun and Mu Sang accompanying him to help him, even if the great monks from the late Nascent Soul stage came, it would be difficult to keep him.
But Master Yin Yue led him here, which just explained one thing.
He did not bring the Heavenly Spiritual Treasure of the Moon Wheel Sect with him.
Otherwise, with such a treasure in your possession, why would you bring him here? You can do it directly after he leaves the mountain guarding formation!
"Don't you know very well what I want to do? I just want to invite you to die!"
Master Yinyue looked at Zhou Chun indifferently and said quietly.
"Only you?"
Zhou Chun seemed to have heard some joke, and his tone was full of ridicule.
"Yes, I alone am enough!"
Master Yin Yue nodded slightly and said with a firm tone.
Then he raised his hand and a silver moon wheel magic weapon rose into the air. It was the Moon Wheel Sect's inherited spiritual treasure [Holy Moon Wheel].
Seeing this, Zhou Chun couldn't help but sneered: "That's ridiculous! Then let Zhou see where you get your confidence from!"
After saying this, he raised his hand and patted the spirit beast bag on his waist, releasing both Feng Yuanjun and Mu Sang.
"Oh, another strange fifth-level demon king, is it your wooden charm pet? You really have hidden your strength!"
Master Yin Yue's gaze lingered on Mu Sang for a moment, and he sighed in slight surprise.
But it can be heard from his words that he does not seem to be surprised by the occurrence of this situation.
This made Zhou Chun even more confused, wondering where he got his confidence.
However, Zhou Chun always despised the enemy in tone and valued the enemy strategically.
He didn't say much at the moment and immediately launched an attack.
But when Lord Feng Yuan heard the cry of the phoenix, a ray of colorful divine fire spewed out from her mouth, turning into a colorful fire arrow and shooting towards Master Yin Yue.
Master Yin Yue did not underestimate this. The [Holy Moon Wheel] above his head turned slightly, and a silver blade of light shot towards the colorful fire arrow hole.
Whether it is the colorful fire arrow or the silver light blade, they themselves look a bit inconspicuous.
But when the two collided and clashed in mid-air, extremely terrifying energy fluctuations suddenly erupted, and the sky was filled with colorful firelight and silver moonlight shining and competing.
This is a characteristic of the battle between Yuanying monks. Their meticulous control ability can condense the power of magic into an inconspicuous point.
A fireball that looks similar to the first-level spell Fire Ball may actually contain the power to destroy the world!
And here, Fengyuan Jun's magical power has just clashed with the real person Yin Yue, and over there Zhou Chun has also activated the [Moon Toad Orb] spiritual treasure, brushing out a "Taiyin Extinction Divine Light" to attack the opponent.
At the same time, Mu Sang also opened his mouth and vomited, directly urging the [Qing Xuan Seal], which had been restored to most of its power by his own care, to blast towards Master Yin Yue.
