The Myriad Worlds Gu Zun
Chapter 214 Ouroboros
Zhou Ming settled down in the family.
The difference in status affects all aspects. Naturally, he can no longer live in the previous house. Zhou Qitian prepared a new residence for him, a single-family courtyard in the core of the family, with maids serving at any time, and servants waiting to be dispatched.
Although the first conversation between the two was not very pleasant, Zhou Qitian did not neglect him rudely.
Although he did not take the initiative to reveal his identity, his reputation spread rapidly through word of mouth. Almost everyone in the Zhou family knew that there was a fifth-turn Gu Master in the family.
Because of Zhou Ming's instructions, Zhou Hao and the other two did not publicize any information about him to the outside world. No matter who asked, they kept their mouths shut. Therefore, the identity of this mysterious fifth-turn Gu Master in the family caused a lot of discussion in the family.
However, the most sensational thing in the family was not Zhou Ming's return, but the personal visit of the head of the Yuan family.
In the past few days, the whole family has been busy with this matter, preparing for this visit with the highest standards.
After all, the Yuan family is not only a golden family, but also one of the super forces in Beiyuan.
The two most important conditions for becoming a superpower are that there must be a Gu Immortal in the family and that there must be enough resources.
Without a Gu Immortal, even if there are huge resources, they cannot be defended and will soon be divided up by the surrounding enemies like hungry wolves.
Without enough resources, a Gu Immortal cannot build a strong family. The resources here are not just certain resource points, the family's population is also part of the resources.
There are many descendants left by the Juyang Immortal Venerable. They have spread their branches and leaves in Beiyuan for so many years. There are many golden families, but there are only thirteen superpowers in the golden family.
Liu Family, Yelu Family, Shanyu Family, Meng Family, Yuan Family, Twenty-two Family, Murong Family, Guan Family, Nur Family, Gong Family, Yao Family, Hei Family, and Dongfang Family.
These thirteen families together constitute the most important part of the Beiyuan Righteous Path.
…
Seven days later, the Yuan family came to visit.
Yuan Tianshu is in his thirties, gentle and elegant. Compared with the head of the Golden Family, he looks more like a teacher, and there is no trace of the Yuan family's martial style.
On the contrary, the guards following Yuan Tianshu were all strong and powerful, with bright eyes and full of energy, and they had the spirit of warriors.
The Zhou family was decorated with lights and was very lively. A grand banquet was in progress, and the atmosphere was very warm.
"Mr. Yuan, come, please drink this cup!" Zhou Qitian raised his cup to Yuan Tianshu.
Speaking of which, Yuan Tianshu also had a strange temper. He didn't like others to call him the head of the Yuan family. Instead, he publicly asked others to call him Mr. Yuan many times.
Although others didn't understand the meaning, they didn't want to offend him, so they all called him Mr. Yuan.
"Thank you, head of the Zhou family." Yuan Tianshu picked up the wine glass and drank it all, which immediately attracted applause from the whole room.
Putting down the wine glass, Yuan Tianshu looked around the Zhou family members and smiled: "I heard that there are many heroes in the Zhou family. I wonder if the head of the Zhou family is willing to introduce Tianshu?"
"Mr. Yuan, you are so kind, I am so embarrassed." Zhou Qitian bowed slightly and began to introduce the Zhou family members sitting to Yuan Tianshu one by one.
Those who can sit here are all the elders of the Zhou family, and they are at least the third level of cultivation. Zhou Qitian introduced them one by one from near to far, and Yuan Tianshu nodded and smiled at each one. His attitude was friendly, which made these Zhou family Gu Masters feel flattered.
Until the introduction was completed, Zhou Ming, who was sitting next to him, was not introduced.
Zhou Ming didn't care, and poured wine by himself, showing his arrogance and arrogance at a young age.
Yuan Tianshu had noticed this young man who was too young, eccentric, and could sit next to Zhou Qitian. Now seeing that Zhou Qitian introduced a circle but didn't introduce him, he couldn't help asking: "Do you know the name of this young talent?"
Zhou Qitian smiled and said: "I was about to introduce Mr. Yuan, this is the next patriarch of our clan, Zhou Ming!"
As soon as this was said, there was an uproar.
Not only was Yuan Tianshu surprised, but the Zhou family members were all surprised, and even Zhou Ming was slightly startled.
No one could have expected Zhou Qitian to do this. This sentence was like a depth charge that exploded suddenly, without even a sign.
Yuan Tianshu put down his wine glass to cover up his gaffe, and said in surprise: "The Zhou family leader is in his prime, how could he have decided on the next leader so early?"
Logically speaking, even if the successor has been selected, he will be trained as a young leader, so how could he directly promise the position of leader?
Moreover, judging from the reactions of the Zhou family members, it is obvious that even they have just learned the news like himself.
The inside story really made Yuan Tianshu quite curious.
Zhou Qitian laughed and said: "Mr. Yuan doesn't know, in fact, even the family members almost don't know. Zhou Ming is the successor I secretly cultivated. I have no offspring in my life, and I have been the leader for twenty years. Now Zhou Ming has the same strength as me, and it's time to let him take power!"
"What!" Zhou Qitian's words seemed to explode like another thunderbolt, and Yuan Tianshu forgot to cover up his surprised expression and stared at Zhou Ming in a daze.
"Is the Zhou family leader making fun of me? This young friend Zhou Ming is at the fifth level of cultivation? How old is he this year?"
"He is at the peak of the fifth level." Zhou Qitian corrected, "As for his age... He became enlightened the year before last, and he just turned seventeen this year!"
It was just after the end of the year, and now it was late January. Not counting the past life, the plot world, and the blessed land, Zhou Ming was indeed just seventeen years old, and he hadn't even had his seventeenth birthday yet.
Yuan Tianshu was even more surprised. He looked at Zhou Ming, who was silent and arrogant, with unblinking eyes.
Just listen to Zhou Qitian say: "To be honest with Mr. Yuan, this child Zhou Ming has a hard life. Both his parents died when he was young. He grew up in a family. He doesn't seek great achievements, he just wants to become a Gu Master and live his life peacefully. ”
"Who would have thought... that after I had my awakening, I discovered that this child actually has a unique body!"
"Oh, it's true that the Shijue Body's extraordinary qualifications allowed him to achieve such a level of cultivation at such a young age. But everyone knows the dangers of the Shijue Body. In order to keep him alive, no one knows how many hardships he went through..."
Zhou Qitian's words were vague, and those who didn't know thought it was him, Zhou Qitian, who was suffering and trying to keep Zhou Ming alive!
Zhou Ming understood Zhou Qitian's intention in his heart. It was just to find a reasonable excuse for his public appearance. As for whether others would believe it or not? Then ignore it.
"That's it!" Yuan Tianshu had a look of surprise and conviction, poured a glass of wine, and said with a distant toast: "This glass is dedicated to the young talents of the Zhou family, and also to the head of the Zhou family who has devoted all his efforts to the family, come on, do it !”
A banquet once again reached its climax. Yuan Tianshu raised his glass frequently and became extremely drunk. After the banquet, he was arranged to rest in the highest-grade guest room of the Zhou family.
Zhou Qitian left Zhou Ming, who was about to leave, to discuss matters in his study.
"What do you think of the Yuan family?" Zhou Qitian asked bluntly.
"Super power, what do I think?" Zhou Ming said lightly: "I'm just curious. Didn't the Yuan family participate in the last few battles of the Royal Court? Why are they suddenly interested again this time?"
"Super power, how could I guess it?" Zhou Qitian chuckled and returned the same words to Zhou Ming.
"Don't you want to participate in the Heroes Conference? This is an opportunity. The Yuan family is powerful and the Tianchuan Heroes Conference has few opponents. It is the best target for your support."
"Ha, I probably guessed it." Zhou Ming sneered and said, "Yuan Tianshu has extended an olive branch to you a long time ago, right? You are guarding Nuanchi Valley, there is no need to attend the Heroes Conference, and you directly rejected Yuan Tianshu because of his poor status. , Zhengchou didn’t know how to deal with it, and I happened to appear at this moment... Haha, just get off the slope and push me out. This not only saves the family, but also gives Yuan Tianshu an answer. Kill two birds with one stone, get the best of both worlds, it’s a good plan. "
"You don't have to say that. Whether this matter can happen or not is up to you. If you don't want to, what can I do?" Zhou Qitian looked at Zhou Ming and said calmly: "Besides, what I said today was not a lie. I really meant it. Let you be the patriarch of the family."
"Ten years from now? Or twenty years from now?" Zhou Ming said sarcastically: "I have become the clan leader, what are you going to do? Are you willing to retire and take care of yourself?"
Zhou Qitian fell silent, and after a moment he said: "Anyway, I won't harm you. Don't forget, you are a member of the Zhou family."
The five regions of Gu Realm, with the exception of Zhongzhou, all attach great importance to family. There may be disputes and strife in the family, but no matter what, the clan members are their own and will always be closer than outsiders outside the family. This is It is more vividly reflected in Beiyuan.
At that time, Ju Yang Immortal Lord personally said such famous sayings as "Family in the world", "Brothers are like brothers and sisters, women are like clothes".
…
Southern Xinjiang is the blessed land of life and death.
An old man, wearing a black robe, exuding the faint aura of a seventh-level Gu Immortal, sat quietly on the futon.
His face was covered with wrinkles, and his eyes were dark without any white in them.
In front of him, there lay a man with purple skin. He was tall, breathing long, his eyes closed, and he was sleepy.
Opposite the old man, there were two Gu Immortals sitting. One of them said: "We worked hard to catch this alive. This group of extraterrestrial demons is really difficult to deal with. Their methods are weird and complicated. If you hadn't calculated in advance with the inkstone, It’s really hard to save his life by setting a trap.”
"Haha, this is natural. After all, this is a complete demon from outside the world that came directly from outside the territory."
Old Man Yanshi laughed, stretched out his withered old right hand, and gently stroked the man's face.
"Now, our new plan can finally be launched."
"Jump out of the Gu world and move towards a grander world with infinite possibilities."
"The road to eternal life will eventually be discovered by me!"
…
Kitahara.
The day after the Yuan family visited the Zhou family, the Zhou family held a banquet again, and the atmosphere was even more lively than yesterday.
In just one day, Yuan Tianshu memorized everyone introduced by Zhou Qitian yesterday and toasted them one by one. With his status, he could actually do this, which really made everyone in the Zhou family frightened, and felt happy and proud in their hearts.
During the dinner, Yuan Tianshu made no secret of his enthusiasm for Zhou Ming and frequently raised his glass of wine towards him. Zhou Ming did not feel any emotion in his heart, but on the surface he pretended to be flattered and suppressed his joy due to the young man's arrogance. , fell into Yuan Tianshu's eyes, and he was a little more sure of his purpose.
On the third day, something happened that made the Zhou family even more sensational.
A large amount of supplies from the Yuan family were transported from distant places, and rows of black-skinned fat beetles were delivered to the Zhou family, including various kinds of Gu insects and Gu materials, including some rare Gu insects, and even Level 4 and Level 5 Gu capitals. have.
This spectacular scene made everyone in the Zhou family even more surprised, and they cast even more fiery eyes on Yuan Tianshu, who was standing on a high place and watching this scene.
"Hahaha, head of the Zhou family, this batch of supplies set out with me, but the transportation of supplies was slow, so I got there first. I didn't expect that it would take three days to arrive."
Yuan Tianshu said this to Zhou Qitian, who was standing next to him, and at the same time, he also said it to many members of the Zhou family below.
"Thank you, Mr. Yuan, for our Zhou family to get assistance from the Yuan family, and we can finally get through this storm safely." Zhou Qitian sighed with half falsehood and half sincerity.
Without the supplies from the Yuan family, the Zhou family would not be able to survive the storm, but with this batch of supplies, the Zhou family would definitely be able to relax and avoid many unnecessary sacrifices.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. This was agreed with the head of the Zhou family at the beginning. Our Yuan family has never been stingy with our allies who fight side by side!"
Yuan Tianshu deliberately amplified his voice so that his words could be heard clearly by the Zhou family members below.
Sure enough, the expressions of many members of the Zhou family changed again and again. First they were surprised, then surprised, and then solemn.
Being an ally of the Yuan family would be a great thing in normal times, but now the ten-year storm is coming, and the Heroes Conference is imminent. Be an ally of the Yuan family at this time? Isn’t that just to serve as cannon fodder for the Yuan family to fight in the war?
Once they figured out the link, the joy that had just arisen in the hearts of some tribesmen disappeared, and their first reaction was opposition.
However, Zhou Qitian did not give these people a chance to speak.
"This is natural." Zhou Qitian said loudly: "The Heroes Conference is about to be held. This is a prosperous time for the entire Beiyuan. Naturally, our clan cannot stay out of it! After a clan meeting, it was decided that this Heroes Conference will be led by the next clan leader Zhou Ming. Those who are willing to participate can sign up on their own! We will follow the Yuan family's footsteps and fight in the north and south, so that the reputation of our Zhou family will spread throughout Beiyuan!"
…
Heaven.
The Master of the Supervisory Sky Tower slowly opened his eyes.
Compared with before, the Master of the Heaven Supervising Tower is even older at this time, like a candle in the wind, who knows when it will be extinguished.
"You should take a rest, there is no need to work so hard." Bai Cangshui advised from opposite him.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." The Master of the Supervisory Sky Pagoda waved his hands with difficulty, and a smile appeared on his old face: "I have lived long enough. The end of my life is my destiny. Finally, my life span is used in the right way. It’s better to waste it in vain.”
He said, handing an immortal Gu in his hand to Bai Cangshui.
Bai Cangshui took it and saw that the Immortal Gu was quite strange. It was an ouroboros, with a green body. It felt cool and cool in his hand, like jade, but it was always squirming and eating its own tail in its mouth. , but the body has not shortened by half a minute.
"An Immortal Gu completely refined from the outer Dao marks." The Master of the Supervisory Sky Tower smiled happily: "Although I haven't figured out its specific function yet, I have a feeling that it will have a great impact on repairing the Fate Gu. use!"
Guess what this Gu does?
