Cultivation Begins From The Desert

The distance between Yuquan Lake Oasis and Baisha River Oasis is more than 6,000 miles. If Zhou Yang flew alone with his sword, taking into account the time it took to replenish his mana during a break, one day would be enough to reach it.

However, when he took his mother Lin Yuting to fly with Yujian, this time was almost doubled, and it took more than two days to arrive.

When he arrived at the Baishahe Oasis, Zhou Yang did not contact Chen Pingzhi immediately, but first sent his mother Lin Yuting to the newly built "Ping'anfang City" to meet with his father Zhou Xuanhao, and then went to the Zhou family's family on the Baishahe Oasis. The branch station "Qingniu Mountain".

Qingniu Mountain was originally a spiritual mountain for a small family to practice Qi on the Baisha River Oasis. The level of the spiritual veins on the mountain was only low-ranking second-order. This small family was established less than a hundred years ago, and there were only eight monks in the family, including the head of the family.

The last time the sand bandits attacked the oasis, this small family was directly wiped out, and only some mortals of the family survived.

For such a small family that has been wiped out, even if the Chen family has the heart to help them, they can't do anything. 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, right?

This is fundamentally unrealistic, and it is also a huge waste of resources.

Therefore, after Liu, Yang, and Wednesday's family expressed their desire to establish a family branch in the Baishahe oasis, the ancestor of the Chen family gave the Zhou family the area around Qingniu Mountain and Qingniu Mountain with a stroke of a pen. Branch station.

After Zhou Xuanhao led thousands of mortals of the Zhou family to the Baishahe Oasis five years ago, they settled down at Qingniu Mountain. Then the mortals of the Zhou family established a small town at the foot of the mountain and slowly expanded their numbers. The monks built palaces and lofts on the mountain for the monks to rest and live, and the "Fengyuelou" was also set up on the mountain.

After Zhou Yang came to Qingniu Mountain, he first made an unannounced visit to the places where the mortals of the Zhou family lived.

In the past few years, the thousands of mortals from the Zhou family who migrated here have now given birth to offspring. The population of the town, including the swaddling babies, has exceeded 5,000.

The land in the 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 support ten or twenty thousand people.

Moreover, the population is not the livestock in the cattle and sheep pens. The population can flow. Even if the number of Zhou family mortals 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's territory will no longer be able to enjoy the protection of the Zhou family cultivators. At that time, they can only support themselves by themselves.

The troubles of later people were not felt by predecessors.

The people of the Zhou family in the small town at the foot of Qingniu Mountain, at least for now, are living a comfortable life.

In order for the Zhou family to spread their branches and leaves safely here, the men directly send their wives for free, and the women help recruit their son-in-law for free, and directly use the benefits that can be seen to help them escape from the mortal settlements of those small families whose homes have been destroyed. They found a large number of handsome men and beautiful women to match them, and their lives were much better than their relatives on the oasis of Yuquan Lake.

Zhou Yang observed it secretly for a while, and after confirming that these mortals did not complain much about the family letting them migrate here, he left the place with relief.

He is the patriarch of the Zhou family, the patriarch of the immortal-cultivating family of the Zhou family, and the patriarch of the secular mortals of the Zhou family. The thoughts of these secular mortals also need him to pay some attention, at least not let these mortals mention him as the patriarch At that time, he always gritted his teeth and looked like he wanted to die.

After leaving the mortal settlement, Zhou Yang went to Qingniu Mountain, a spiritual mountain.

When Zhou Xuanhao sits in the "Ping'anfang City", Qingniu Mountain is now in charge of Chen Ting, a cultivator of the Zhou family, who is the husband of Zhou Xuanyan, the eighth aunt of Zhou Yang. Appropriately, the shopkeeper of "Fengyuelou" is a female sanctuary "Golden Flower Lady" who is employed by the Zhou family.

After Zhou Yang arrived at Qingniu Mountain, he didn't go to see the two, but first went to the restroom of the women outside "Fengyuelou" and restrained a mortal woman, and then used "Ecstasy" to fascinate the woman's mind and asked. The situation of "Fengyuelou".

Under the effect of "Ecstasy", the woman was always ready to answer any questions. Through her answers, Zhou Yang quickly gained an intuitive understanding of the operation of "Fengyuelou".

It should be said that the result still satisfied him.

When he set up "Fengyuelou", he made some strict regulations. It was strictly forbidden for managers to use their power to force women in the building to accompany people who were unwilling to accompany them. Rewards for women in the building, and it is strictly forbidden to prevent women in the building from exiting for any reason.

It now seems that the person in charge of the Zhou family here has taken his statement to heart. At least in the past few years, the above-mentioned things have not happened in "Fengyuelou".

Among the mortal women inside, there are also people who successfully retired through the rewards of having offspring, and then took the rewards from the family to recruit men in the small town under the mountain to form a family.

After he understood the situation clearly, he released the effect of "Ecstasy", put the unconscious woman back on the 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 clearly say that he had been here, the Zhou family cultivator who was in charge of it would never dare to take it lightly and neglect his explanation.

After going around Qingniu Mountain and returning to the "Ping'an Square City", Zhou Yang sent a message to Chen Pingzhi through the Chen family cultivator in the square city, informing the other party that he was here.

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

Chen Pingzhi was in a hurry. Zhou Yang just rested for an hour in the newly opened "Yuquan Building", and when he received the news, he rushed over.

"It's not long since this junior took over the control of the family, so there are always some things that need to be explained clearly before going out, but it took a lot of time and bothered Senior Chen for waiting for a long time." Zhou Yang cupped his hands and showed a trace of apology on his face just right.

Chen Pingzhi's eyes flashed, and he couldn't help laughing and said: "Hahaha, little friend is serious, I have waited for the foundation-building cultivator for more than 200 years, and I waited for a few days, what is it? If there is anything else for little friend. If it has not been resolved, it can be resolved later, Chen can still afford to wait at this time!"

"No need, everything the junior should do has already been done. If senior Chen is convenient, you can now tell the junior about what you asked the junior to do." Zhou Yang shook his head, but asked straight to the point. This is the purpose of Chen Pingzhi's trip.

Seeing him so cheerful, Chen Pingzhi finally showed a smile from the bottom of his heart.

He looked at Zhou Yang with a smile and said, "This is a long story, but Chen will keep it short."

"This time, I asked Xiaoyou Zhou to come and help me because I wanted you to accompany the old man to explore a cave house left by a senior monk. The original owner of the cave house should not exceed the foundation-building stage, so there is not much danger to me. The little friend came to help, just in case there is an emergency, I can take care of it."

Indeed it is!

After Zhou Yang listened to Chen Pingzhi's words, his heart was sure.

Since Chen Pingzhi asked him for help is the same as guessing in advance, then he can also answer according to the plan that he thought in advance.

He looked at Chen Pingzhi with a smile on his face, his face became solemn, and he asked solemnly: "Senior Chen is so calm, then please forgive the junior, the junior wants to ask the senior, if this expedition is fruitful, can the junior share?"

It's okay to owe favors to come and help, but if you help in vain, it definitely won't work.

When Chen Pingzhi lent the cave house to him to build the foundation, he also received a lot of benefits from the old patriarch Zhou Minghan. Now that he is here to help the other party, of course, it is appropriate to have a payment.

Of course, Chen Pingzhi also knew this truth, so when he heard him ask, he didn't get angry, he just restrained the smile on his face, looked at him and replied, "If the little friend hadn't made a move, Chen would give the little friend a hundred spirits. Shi's travel expenses, if the little friend makes a move, Chen will give the little friend 10% to 20% of the gains depending on the little friend's contribution, what does the little friend think?"

The gain of 10% to 20% is naturally far lower than what the normal cultivator would get from expeditions in a team, but if the factor of repayment of human feelings is taken into account, this share ratio is not unacceptable.

Zhou Yang thought for a while, and finally nodded and said, "Just do as Senior Chen said."

"Then you and I will leave now." Chen Pingzhi seemed to be really in a hurry and was about to leave immediately.

And since Zhou Yang had already agreed to help, he could only follow in his footsteps at this time. After the two left the market, they released their flying swords and flew towards the boundless sand sea outside the Baisha River oasis.

When Yu Jian was flying, in order to allow Zhou Yang to keep up, Chen Pingzhi, who was already on the sixth floor of the Foundation Establishment, deliberately slowed down a lot, and he also told Zhou Yang the reason why he was in a hurry to leave.

"It's good to know that fellow Daoists know that Huangshamen has agreed to my ancestor's request for help, and will send a Zifu cultivator and ten foundation-building cultivators to Baishahe Oasis to help investigate the whereabouts of the sand bandits. Foundation-building cultivators like you and I have to help from the side, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to get away in ten or eight years, which is why Chen is so eager to set off."

What?

Zhou Yang was really surprised when he heard the news.

It's not surprising that Huangshamen would come. After all, when the sand bandits attacked the Baishahe Oasis, UUkanshu www.uukanshu.com even robbed their Huangshamen shop.

But Huangshamen actually sent a cultivator from the Zifu to stay for a long time to assist the Chen family in searching the whereabouts of the sand bandits. The deep meaning of this is worth thinking about.

You must know that the cultivators of the Zifu period are all radishes and pits, and usually they are in charge of one party and have important tasks.

If the Chen family found the whereabouts of the sand bandits and applied to Huangshamen for the assistance of high-level monks, it would be normal for Huangshamen to send monks from the Zifu period to help.

But now that the Chen family doesn't even know where the sand bandits are, they can ask Huangshamen to send a high-ranking cultivator from the Zifu period to lead ten foundation-building cultivators to stay in the Baishahe oasis for a long time, which is surprising.

As the patriarch of the Zhou family, Zhou Yang must be very concerned about this situation, so even though he knew it was inappropriate to ask, he still couldn't help but ask Chen Pingzhi: "Please forgive the junior for taking your breath, senior Chen. Do you know why Huangshamen did this? Which Zifu senior in Huangshamen will come?"

"Little friend, I have asked Chen, and the contact with Huangshamen is all done by the old ancestor. Chen now doesn't know how the old ancestor persuaded Huangshamen. It is this news, or my brother. Secretly told Chen Mou!"

Chen Pingzhi didn't know if he really didn't know, or if he didn't want to say more. Anyway, Zhou Yang couldn't get any more useful information from him.

This cast a shadow over his heart.

He is very clear that there must be a reason for Huang Shamen's abnormal behavior, and their vassal families under Huang Shamen will definitely be involved.

Involuntarily, Zhou Yang couldn't help but think of his guesses about the origin of the sand bandits. Could it be that he really guessed it?
