Chapter 763 New Patriarch!
Seeing that he was called by Zhou Yang, Li Hong naturally didn't dare to keep silent.
Seeing that he had regained his composure for a while, he bowed to Zhou Yang and said, "My ancestor is clear, there are indeed some things that this junior wants to report to the ancestor, please make up your mind."
"The first thing is about the next candidate for the helm of the Zhou family. This junior is already nine hundred and seventy-two years old this year. Although he has also taken life-extending medicines, his remaining lifespan is less than a hundred years. This successor The matter is urgent and must be determined as soon as possible.”
"The second thing is about the Zhou family's establishment of the fairy city. The Zhou family now has a large number of monks and millions of ordinary people. These people are scattered all over the place, which is really not conducive to the cultivation of feelings among family members. The younger generation has thought about it for a long time. , I also discussed with the family's senior monks for a long time, and felt that the best solution is to build a fairy city where mortals and monks live together, as the real foundation of the Zhou family."
"For the establishment of the Immortal City, the Zhou family currently has sufficient manpower and material resources, but we still cannot agree on where the Immortal City should be built. We have to ask our ancestors to make up our minds, and the layout of the city protection formation also needs to be arranged You just have to help."
"The third thing is about the revitalization of the world of cultivating immortals in the boundless sand sea. Thanks to your ancestors, the high-ranking monks of the family now send the Kongxinglou boat to cross the Duanyun Mountains. Being able to pass through safely has made the transfer and exchange of personnel and materials between the two places of the family much smoother."
"Because communication is much more convenient than before, and now it is difficult for the family to obtain a large independent territory on the Liuyunzhou Immortal Cultivation World, a wise person in the family proposed to revitalize the Boundless Sand Sea Immortal Cultivation World, and won the support of the family. Among them, the approval of many monks from bottom to top."
"The younger generation also feels that with the financial and material resources that the family currently has, if they are willing to invest a lot of manpower and material resources in the boundless sand sea to build oases and spiritual veins, connect the major oases, and make full use of the resources of each oasis, no matter for the family Both now and in the future, there are huge benefits.”
After finishing the three things he considered the most important in one breath, Li Hong saluted Zhou Yang again, signaling that he was done.
After Zhou Yang heard the three things he said, he also pondered slightly.
After a while passed like this, he just asked Zhou Liefeng and Zhou Liangyu, "What else? Do you two have anything else to say?"
"My ancestors are here, and this junior also wants to ask my ancestors to help me with one thing!"
Zhou Liangyu took a deep breath, and when Zhou Liefeng was still in a state of hesitation, he boldly spoke out first.
I saw that he first saluted Zhou Yang, and then said respectfully: "The old ancestor Rong said, when the junior was not a golden core, he had a mutual affection with a beautiful female cultivator, and he has reached the point where he is ready to spend this life together as a Taoist couple. "
"It's just that the female cultivator is the daughter of an elder of the Jindan sect, and her father is not very willing for her daughter to marry a junior."
"After his daughter's begging, and because he was afraid of your ancestor's reputation, his father made an agreement with the younger generation, agreeing that if the younger generation can form a golden core before the age of three hundred, he will agree to the marriage."
"The junior was young and energetic at the time, and he couldn't bear to see his beloved break up with his father for the sake of the junior, so he agreed to the matter."
"It's a pity that this junior still somewhat underestimated the difficulty of forming a golden core, and failed to complete it within the agreed time!"
When Zhou Liangyu said this, his face was full of remorse and regret.
He formed the Golden Core at the age of three hundred and twenty-seven, which is actually very fast. As long as he doesn't die halfway, it will not be difficult to cultivate to the ninth level of the Golden Core.
After a pause like this, he continued: "Originally, this junior failed to complete the agreement within the time limit, and was already ready to give up this marriage. I only thought that I and her were destined to have nothing to do, God's will!"
"But what the younger generation didn't expect was that she was actually much stronger than the younger generation. In order to delay the younger generation, and to resist her father's decision to marry another elder's son from the same sect, she even went so far as to shut herself off and let herself fall into deep depression. In sleep!"
"After the autistic soul, only the younger generation recognized by her soul can wake her up with the method of dual cultivation, but her father is annoyed at her disobedience and firmly disagrees with the younger generation to wake her up."
Speaking of this, Zhou Liangyu suddenly knelt down in front of Zhou Yang, bowed his head deeply and said: "Your junior, please take the liberty to ask your ancestors to help you to save the one you love. As long as you can rescue her and wake her up, this junior is willing to pay you any price." !"
Golden Core stage monks belong to the upper class in any world of cultivating immortals. They are real high-level monks. Usually, when they see Yuanying stage monks, they only need to bow their hands. Only when facing elder monks of their own forces Only then will I bow and salute to show respect.
When they paid homage to Zhou Yang, the ancestor of the family, Zhou Liangyu and other high-ranking monks of the Zhou family just bowed and saluted, and no one bowed down before.
But now, he is willing to give up all dignity and kneel down in front of Zhou Yang like a humble mortal, just to ask Zhou Yang, the ancestor of the family, to help him save his beloved.
It can also be seen from this how much he loves that female cultivator.
Zhou Yang looked at Zhou Liangyu who was kneeling and kowtowing endlessly, and couldn't help showing a touch of emotion and reminiscence in his eyes.
This situation is really not unfamiliar to him.
Back then in the world of cultivating immortals in Donghuazhou, in order to save his beloved and daughter, he also risked his entire wealth and life, and almost knelt down and begged for help!
Zhou Liangyu's current situation is very similar to his then.
The difference is that Zhou Liangyu's situation is better now than he was then, and it is not as urgent and urgent as he was then.
"Easy to get a priceless treasure, rare to have a lover, since you and that woman are willing to give up your dignity and life for each other, how can I not be beautiful, my ancestor?"
Zhou Yang looked at Zhou Liangyu with a sigh of relief and nodded slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, I agree to this matter, the ancestor, you wait a little while, and after the preaching ceremony is over, the ancestor, I will help you get paid." wish!"
"Thank you ancestors for their love, thank you ancestors for their grace!"
Zhou Liangyu was overjoyed and excitedly kowtowed to thank her.
"Okay, get up too, dignified Golden Core cultivator, it's better to keep your knees firmer, and don't kneel down so easily in the future!"
Zhou Yang waved his hand, and by the way warned this junior.
Then he turned his gaze to Zhou Liefeng, the last Jindan cultivator, and asked, "What about you? Don't you have anything you want my ancestor to help with?"
Zhou Liefeng heard the words, and immediately replied respectfully: "My ancestor Mingjian, this junior has nothing to trouble you for the time being."
His answer was a bit cunning, and the word "temporary" can be said to have a profound meaning.
But Zhou Yang didn't care about his small thoughts, just nodded and said: "Alright, then if you encounter difficult problems in the future, you can come to ask the ancestors for help."
Seeing this, Zhou Liefeng also breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly bowed and said: "Thank you for your kindness, ancestor."
After solving the request of the two juniors in this way, Zhou Yang turned his attention to Li Hong again: "Li Hong, what you just said about the successor is indeed a big deal, but I haven't asked about the relationship between the family members for a long time. I don't know the character and ability of the current juniors in the clan, so it's better to leave it to you to nominate candidates, ancestor, I trust your vision."
"As for the establishment of the fairy city, if you can't decide where to build the fairy city, you don't need me to make the decision. You can use voting to make a choice that satisfies most people. Every high-ranking monk in the family counts as one Tickets, after the decision is made, then tell the ancestor me the decision, and then someone will go to help you set up the defense formation!"
"The last thing is to revitalize the world of cultivating immortals in the boundless sand sea. I agree with this matter very much. You must not forget your roots. The world of cultivating immortals in the boundless sand sea has supported our Zhou family. Now that our Zhou family has the ability, we must Feed back."
Zhou Yang expressed his views and decisions one by one, and answered very smoothly.
His answer was obviously beyond the expectations of Li Hong and the other two, so that the three of them were stunned, and they lowered their heads to think about the intention of his words.
After such a short period of time passed, Li Hong suddenly raised his head to look at Zhou Yang, bowed his hands and said: "The younger generation understands what the old ancestor meant, and thanks to the great respect of the old ancestor, the younger generation is willing to recommend Zhou Liangyu as the head of the Zhou family." , as the future helm of the Zhou family."
What?
Zhou Liangyu stared at Li Hong with wide eyes in astonishment, full of surprise and surprise.
Meanwhile, Zhou Liefeng's complexion changed slightly, and it was difficult for him to maintain his composure.
"Old Li, you..."
Zhou Liangyu looked at Li Hong with surprise on his face, his mouth moved, and he hesitated to speak.
It is not difficult to see from his expression that Li Hong never talked to him about this matter beforehand, and it is very likely that this matter is the decision Li Hong made in his thinking just now.
"Liangyu, you don't need to say too much, let's let Li explain the reason to the ancestor."
Li Hong waved his hand at Zhou Liangyu, signaling him to silence first, then looked at Zhou Yang calmly and said, "The old ancestor Mingjian, the reason why the younger generation chose Liangyu as the patriarch is mainly due to the following points."
"The first point is that Liangyu's Zhou family's blood is very pure. Six out of eight generations of his ancestors have been Zhou family monks. Now there are nearly two hundred monks of his line in the Zhou family. There are seven monks, and one Zifu monk."
"Second point, Liangyu not only has good aptitude and talent, but also has excellent perseverance. He is the Zhou family's monk who is most likely to attack the Nascent Soul in the future. As the patriarch, at least he will not fall behind anyone in terms of cultivation in the future. The elders of the family can be restrained, so that there will be no incidents where someone relies on their cultivation to influence the authority of the patriarch!"
"The third point is that Liangyu is young and energetic. The Zhou family has been passed down for thousands of years now. There are more and more people in the family who are content with their success. Many people just want to hide under the big tree of the family to enjoy the shade, lacking the intention of being open and enterprising. , we need a young and energetic person like him to serve as the patriarch and lead the family to continue to grow bigger and stronger!"
Li Hong talked about the reasons why he chose Zhou Liangyu bit by bit. It was so clear and clear that it was completely unbelievable that he made this choice in a short period of time.
However, after hearing his words, Zhou Liefeng on the side couldn't help but say: "What Mr. Li said is very reasonable, but Liangyu has devoted himself to practicing since he was a child, and has never participated in the management of family affairs. The business experience can be said to be zero!"
"I don't deny Liangyu's talent in practice, but a genius in practice may not be equally talented in management. The heads and patriarchs of the various sects and families in the world of cultivating immortals are not all held by those geniuses in the sect!"
What he said was also true, but it was inevitable that he would feel jealous when he said these words at this time.
So after he finished speaking, he couldn't help stealing a look at Zhou Yang's expression.
As a Jindanqi monk, he may not care what Li Hong, who is about to die, thinks of him, but he is worried that Zhou Yang will have a bad impression of him because of his words.
It's just that he's obviously overthinking it, Zhou Yang is not that kind of superficial person.
Regardless of whether Zhou Liefeng's speech was made out of jealousy or not, even if it was, he would not have any opinion on it because of it.
So his current complexion is calm and indifferent, without showing any bias.
Facing Zhou Liefeng's questioning, Zhou Liangyu's expression was somewhat unnatural, with a look of shame in his eyes, as well as an angry look of dissatisfaction.
It's just that he is also smart. Although his heart is not calm, he is not stupid enough to refute Zhou Liefeng and cause a quarrel.
Li Hong, who was also questioned, responded calmly and calmly: "You are right, Liefeng. Lack of management experience is indeed Liangyu's biggest shortcoming."
"However, experience can be accumulated. Although Li's lifespan is not long, he can still persist for another few decades. These few decades are enough for Liangyu to learn and accumulate experience in this area."
"And even if we think about the worst outcome, he is really not suitable for the position of patriarch at that time, Li can also inspect other members of the family in the past few decades, and select a suitable person as a candidate."
When Zhou Liefeng heard this, he didn't know how to refute his words for a while, so he couldn't help but fell silent.
Then coincidentally, the three of them looked at Zhou Yang, the patriarch of the family, waiting for his final verdict.
"Since the patriarch I said earlier that Li Hong should be the nominee, then this matter is naturally based on his opinion. It was decided in advance. Zhou Liangyu will be the deputy patriarch of the Zhou family in the next few decades. During this period of time, if he is able to fulfill the duties of patriarch, Li Hong will be promoted to the position of patriarch after his death, and he will become the helm of the new generation of the Zhou family.
Zhou Yang glanced at the three of them, and made the final verdict with one blow.
