Chapter 132: An old friend from the past, retreating to build a foundation(1/2)
Latest website:
Biyun Mountain.
Zhou Chun should be more familiar with the original Biyun Mountain than most of the Zhou family monks.
After all, he was originally sent here to teach the Mu family monks the art of controlling beasts, but he stayed here for more than a year.
But now that he came here again, the scene he saw was completely different from the scene in his memory.
Biyun Mountain, which once had beautiful mountains and clear waters, is now burned into scorched earth in many places. Even the vegetation on the main peak can be seen with traces of transplantation.
Even the area protected by the Mu family's new Pure Spirit Array has been significantly reduced by nearly half.
Apparently it is because the Mu family cannot find many monks to maintain the operation of the Pure Spirit Array, so they can only set up a small array and open up a place for cultivation.
Seeing Zhou Chun and Zhou Jiarui arriving at this time, Mu Yuntian immediately came over to greet them personally.
"Welcome Daoyou Zhou and Xiaoyou Zhou to Mu's house. Mu has been waiting for you for a long time."
"You're welcome, Fellow Daoist Mu. The Mu family is rebuilding the mountain gate today. We and I are here to congratulate you on the order of the Supreme Elder. We wish the Mu family can regain its strength and prestige as soon as possible."
After Zhou Jiarui said this, he took off a storage bag from his waist and handed it to the front: "It's just a congratulatory gift, it's not respectful. I hope fellow Taoist Mu can accept it with a smile."
"You're welcome, you two fellow Taoists are too polite!"
Mu Yunshan said politely with a smile on his face, but he accepted the storage bag without any politeness.
But when he took the time to scan the contents of the storage bag with his spiritual consciousness, he looked shocked.
Then he hurriedly bowed his hands to Zhou Jiarui and said, "Mu and the Mu family will definitely or dare not forget the kindness of the Zhou family and Senior Zhou, and they will definitely repay it in the future!"
What he said was categorical and his tone was very firm.
Zhou Jiarui, who had not had a very good impression of him at first, felt much better after hearing this.
After a few more polite words, he and Zhou Chun were invited to the main hall and sat together with the foundation-building monks from other families who had arrived.
After all, the Mu family is a family that has been rooted in Lanzhou for hundreds of years, and with the help of Qinglian Temple for this reconstruction, there are quite a few Lanzhou forces coming to support this time.
However, most of the forces just prepared gifts and sent people over to support them.
There are not many forces that are really willing to spend money to give gifts and help like the Zhou family. It is obvious that they are not very optimistic about Mu Yuntian's rebuilding of the Mu family.
This is probably also related to the current situation.
With the Hualong Sect causing trouble, no one knows what the situation will be like in the future.
Some more conservative families are saving whatever they can at this time, and don't want to spend money to gain favors.
However, this makes the Zhou family even more valuable.
Therefore, when the celebration began, Mu Yuntian also changed his original decision and regarded the Zhou family as the first recipient of the toast. He toasted Zhou Jiarui and Zhou Chun a glass of wine in public to thank Zhou Mingde and the Zhou family for their help to the Mu family.
This attitude also made many guests present look at him with suspicion.
But considering that Zhou Mingde's act of rescuing the Mu family that day was indeed very rare, and in addition, assisting Taoist Mingxia to kill the black dragon protector, it can be regarded as avenging the Mu family.
These people just found a reason for themselves and figured this out, and it was no longer strange.
After having such a banquet and hearing Mu Yuntian say some words about how to revive the Mu family in the future, this formal celebration was over.
In fact, it was just a formality.
The Mu family said it was rebuilt, but now even the ruins of the war inside the mountain gate have not been sorted out, so there can really be no celebration.
Today's so-called reconstruction celebration is nothing more than sending a signal to the Lanzhou immortal world.
Although the Mu family in Biyun Mountain suffered a catastrophe, the family inheritance has not been cut off, and they are able to preserve the Mu family's original industry and maintain the Mu family's dignity.
Of course, it is still doubtful whether the latter can really be achieved.
In short, since various forces are willing to send people to attend this celebration, they express their willingness to maintain the old relationship with the Mu family and recognize the new Mu family.
But after the show, when he was about to leave, Zhou Chun's eyes suddenly moved and he saw an acquaintance.
So he immediately said hello to Zhou Jiarui and Mu Yuntian, then left the team alone and walked towards the acquaintance.
He walked forward quickly, walked up to a female cultivator in purple who came to pack things in the hall, and said, "You are Taoist Fellow Ziying, right? Do you remember Zhou?"
Hearing Zhou Chun's words, the purple-clothed female cultivator looked at him with a complex expression and said, "Of course Zi Ying has not forgotten Fellow Daoist Zhou. I heard that Fellow Daoist Zhou has now become the acting patriarch of the Zhou family. Congratulations to Fellow Daoist!"
It turned out that this purple-clothed female cultivator was Mu Ziying, who had taught the Mu family the art of beast control by Zhou Chun, and the two families had deliberately set up a match between them.
However, Zhou Chun had no idea of getting married at that time, so he sternly rejected Mu Ziying's overtures.
When Zhou Chun came to Mu's house before, Mu Ziying actually saw him.
However, she knew that the two people were now very different in cultivation and status, and that the family that had once relied on her was in trouble again, so Mu Ziying did not dare to step forward and acknowledge him.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Chun took the initiative to come over and say hello to her after seeing her at this time.
But as a result, her mood became more complicated, and various thoughts sprouted in her mind.
As a result, as soon as the words came out of his mouth, his tone seemed strange and filled with sadness.
However, she was so overwhelmed with distracting thoughts at this time that she didn't even realize that there was anything wrong with her words.
Fortunately, when Zhou Chun saw her eyes wandering, he realized that she might have made an unintentional mistake, so he didn't care about it.
On the contrary, I felt more compassionate.
Dang Ji said in a soft tone: "When I heard that the Mu family was attacked before, Zhou immediately thought of the safety of fellow Taoist Ziying and several other Taoist fellows of the Mu family. Now that he saw that fellow Taoist Ziying was fine, Zhou
not worried."
Maybe a soft voice can really comfort people.
After Mu Ziying heard what he said, her mind was settled and she finally returned to normal thinking.
She couldn't help but said with a look of joy on her face: "Zi Ying was also lucky. She was living in her husband's house at that time, otherwise she would have died!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Oh, is Taoist friend Ziying married? I wonder which family my husband is a hero from?"
Zhou Chun's eyes flashed with surprise, and he couldn't help but look at Mu Ziying and ask.
Only then did he realize that Mu Ziying's bun had indeed changed, and her face was indeed more beautiful than before, with a more feminine look.
However, him staring at people like this made Mu Ziying feel a little uncomfortable.
She couldn't help but bow her head slightly and whispered softly: "Zi Ying married into the He family of Qingzhu Mountain five years ago at the discretion of the clan leader. Her husband's name is He Chengli."
"It turns out he is the hero of the He family!"
Zhou Chun nodded, his curiosity finally satisfied.
At this time, he also noticed Mu Ziying's nervousness and realized the rudeness he had just made.
Coupled with the faint gazes from Mu Yuntian and Zhou Jiarui, he knew that now was not the time to continue talking to others in depth.
So after thinking for a moment, he reached out and patted the storage bag on his waist, took out a pill bottle and handed it to the other party.
He said: "Let this bottle of elixir be regarded as a wedding gift from Zhou to fellow Taoist Zi Ying. From now on, if fellow Taoist Zi Ying and your husband have time to visit Zhou's house, they can also come to see Zhou. Zhou will definitely do it."
The friendship of landlords."
Hearing his words, Mu Ziying shook her head and declined: "This is not possible, I can't have it..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw that Zhou Chun had put the elixir bottle on the table next to him, turned around and left in a smart manner.
This made her dumbfounded, and she became stunned on the spot when she looked at the elixir bottle on the table.
After Zhou Chun left, he did not explain anything to Mu Yuntian, and soon left Biyun Mountain with Zhou Jiarui.
"Masochun, do you know that girl from the Mu family? It seems to me that your relationship is unusual!"
On the way, while Zhou Jiarui led Zhou Chun back to Jiufeng Ridge, he couldn't help but curiously inquire about the relationship between Zhou Chun and Mu Ziying.
If Zhou Chun was attracted to Mu Ziying, he didn't believe it.
Not to mention that Mu Ziying could tell at a glance that she was no longer Yuanying. Even with her fifth-level cultivation in the Qi Refining Stage, it was impossible for her to catch Zhou Chun's eyes.
But if it wasn't that kind of relationship, why would Zhou Chun give people pills?
As soon as Zhou Chun heard Zhou Jiarui's words, he knew that the other party must have misunderstood.
At that moment, he said angrily: "Uncle Eleven, please don't misunderstand me. The reason why my nephew knows fellow Taoist Ziying is because he taught her the art of beast control in the Mu family. The bottle of elixir is also a supplement."
A wedding gift for her and Taoist fellow Taoist He Chengli."
"Oh, so that girl is still the wife of the He family?"
Zhou Jiarui nodded thoughtfully, but he really didn't think about it any more.
But he quickly looked at Zhou Chun and said, "Even if you have nothing to do with that girl, Zhengchun, you are already a grown man. After the foundation is successfully established, you can worry about starting a family."
"Our Zhou family is now considered a big family in Lanzhou. Our strength and reputation are not weak. If you want to find a Taoist companion, there will definitely be many female cultivators of the right age from the family who are willing to marry into the Zhou family!"
He was not the first to say these words to Zhou Chun.
Not to mention Zhou Zhengyong's previous advice, the patriarch Zhou Daoyi and other familiar elders of the Zhou family also gave Zhou Chun advice in this regard.
But Zhou Chun didn't have any strong desire to get married, and he didn't want to settle for just finding a female cultivator to get married, so he was respectful and insensitive to the matter.
At this time, he also said the same thing: "My nephew understands what Uncle Eleven means. Let's wait until my nephew succeeds in building the foundation!"
