Today I hold the world

As the evening approached, and it was only three hours since Tao Fangyin left, "Dang~dong~", a warning bell rang through the cliff, deafeningly loud.

Zhong Ziyan, who hadn't slept for two or three days, woke up from a daydream.

After regaining consciousness, listen carefully, this is the warning bell of a strong enemy coming.

He hurried out of the cave and ran towards the supervision office on the top of the cliff.

When Zhong Ziyan rushed to the supervisor's office, brothers from the same school from other directions also arrived just in time.

Because there is not much space inside the supervisory office, Zhong Ziyan called Jiang Yuzhou and Qi Changhong to enter together, while the rest of the colleagues waited outside.

This surveillance office is one of the thirty bases of the sect's mountain protection formation, and a small part has the ability to control the operation of the formation.

When the three of them entered, they saw a colleague inside who was sweating profusely manipulating the console. There was a second-order Yuanguang mirror on the console, which showed the scene above the cliff of Duanshui Cliff, and the formation screen near the cliff Most of the area was covered by dark clouds, and upon closer inspection, it was found that there were hundreds of black-haired giant apes in the dark area. They continued to attack the screen with their iron claws, and the metal humming in midair was sharp and piercing.

Seeing the hard work of that junior brother, Jiang Yuzhou stepped forward to take his place and asked him to talk about things first.

This man was in his early twenties, five levels of Qi training, not tall, with cross-eyed eyes, and his name was Tong Tai.

Zhong Ziyan hurriedly asked what happened.

Tong Tai sweated like rain, weeping and trembling: "Master... Master, Brother Qin and Brother Niu were... killed by those beasts!"

Qi Changhong, who was on the side, had thick saber eyebrows, and snapped, "Tong Tai! You should make it clearer, don't be insane, how does the head know what's going on?"

Qi Changhong is tall and tall, and he always looks like a tiger watching a wolf, he is serious in speech and smile, and his cultivation has reached the eighth level of Qi training, so ordinary fellow students don't dare to get along with him.

Tong Tai's mind was already in chaos and frightened, but Qi Changhong yelled at him sharply, and he was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a while.

Zhong Ziyan patted him on the shoulder hurriedly, resisting his anxiety, and said in a harmonious voice, "Don't worry, don't worry, take your time~"

Tong Tai stabilized his mind and stammered:

"Master Master, less than half an hour ago, my two senior brothers and I found five black-haired giant apes on the cliff. They kept throwing stones and attacking the screen of the big mountain guard formation. Brother Qin saw the five-headed mountain wild animals like this. Rampant, I took Brother Niu out to clean it up, but I didn't expect..."

"I didn't expect anything, don't hesitate!" Qi Changhong thought he was speaking slowly, and urged him to get to the point.

"I didn't expect a purple-haired giant ape to jump down from above. It was a hundred times fiercer than those black-haired ones. Before I could see it, it grabbed the two senior brothers and strangled them to death..." Tong Tai finished crying.

Zhong Ziyan took a deep breath, looked into the Yuanguang mirror with Qi Changhong, searched carefully, and found a purple-haired giant ape standing quietly on a sloping rock on the cliff in the middle of the sky.

"Looking at his aura, this bastard should have the strength of ten levels of qi training. No wonder he can kill two juniors with one strike." Qi Changhong said solemnly.

Seeing those black-haired giant apes attacking outside more and more fiercely, Zhong Ziyan walked back and forth for two steps, suddenly thought of something, and said first: "Brother Tong, please go and invite Uncle Liu right away, hurry up!"

He also said to Qi Changhong: "Senior Brother Qi, I have to trouble you to go to the forbidden room to bring Senior Brother Gou temporarily. This group of black-haired giant apes should be the dead mandrill that Senior Brother Bai Luo encountered last night."

Qi Changhong also guessed the connection between the two things in his heart, and quickly walked out of the supervision office to the forbidden room.

For more than ten days, Liu Sanjiu has been busy arranging the foundations of various sects. When Zhong Ziyan saw him last night, he could see that he was exhausted. He was probably resting in the cave now, but he couldn't take care of so much, the big things were important.

Not long after Tong Tai ran out, he ran back again, pointed to the door and said, "Uncle Liu is here."

It turned out that after hearing the alarm bell, Liu Sanjiu rushed over after a short delay.

Liu Sanjiu looked tired, with deep wrinkles on his forehead. Hearing Zhong Ziyan repeat Tong Tai's words, he looked at the scene in the Yuanguang mirror with his hands behind his back, and he didn't see any impatience. This should be because he had confidence in the mountain guard formation.

Qi Changhong came back soon, but he didn't bring Gou Youwei with him, he just said angrily, "What a stupid person, after asking for a long time, he hesitated and didn't know anything!"

With Liu Sanjiu, the foundation builder, present, the four people in the surveillance room were all a bit more stable.

Liu Sanjiu was originally mentally exhausted, but now that this happened, he felt violent in his heart, staring at the purple-haired corpse in the Yuanguang mirror, he said coldly:

"A mere qi-training monster dares to attack my [Three-Yuan Royal Qi Formation], it really doesn't know how to live or die!"

He took out a small jade pendant in his hand, activated the magic formula, and the jade pendant turned into a formation plate as tall as half a person. The brilliance flowed, and the shadow of Tai Chi Yin Yang fish appeared on it. It was undoubtedly the center of the formation plate protecting the mountain.

Just as he was about to add spirit stones to it, Liu Sanjiu paused. After a short pause, he quickly walked out of the surveillance office, flying his sword towards the cliff in the sky.

Zhong Ziyan and Qi Changhong were puzzled. They stood beside Jiang Yuzhou and looked at Yuan Guangjing. They saw Liu Sanjiu flying out of the screen of the mountain protection formation and fighting with the purple-haired corpse mandrill. They understood what Uncle Liu meant. It is to do it yourself.

Originally, it was not difficult to build a foundation and destroy a corpse mandrill in the late stage of Qi training, but for some reason, the purple-haired corpse mandrill did not let the younger brothers he brought to participate in the battle, and was able to draw with Liu Sanjiu.

Qi Changhong analyzed, "The speed of this corpse mandrill is faster than Uncle Liu. If we continue to fight like this, we will suffer."

Sure enough, the two sides fought back dozens of times, and the purple-haired corpse mandrill had rich experience in fighting and gradually suppressed Liu Sanjiu.

Jiang Yuzhou frowned while controlling the formation, "It's so strange, a purple-haired monkey in Qi training can beat Master Liu, what's the reason?"

The farther you hit back, the faster the corpse mandrill's speed, the fiercer and fiercer the attack, the pair of iron claws are icy cold, with purple venom flowing on them, Liu Sanjiu is already in danger.

Knowing that there might be an accident if he continued to fight, Liu Sanjiu decisively withdrew to the inside of the screen, and the purple-haired mandrill let out a humane giggle.

This was quite a shame, Liu San trembled and walked back to the supervisory office, Zhong Ziyan and the others couldn't say anything, since his uncle was defeated by an ape who was practicing Qi, who would feel honored.

Liu San shook his mind, seeing that the juniors were silent, he laughed at himself, "I'm not good at fighting at first, but that purple-haired beast should have evolved from a different species, and its speed is extremely fast, but it made me make a fool of myself."

Zhong Ziyan hurriedly added, "This monster is strange and ferocious, unlike ordinary monsters. The uncle is good at the formation, so there is no need to compare brute force with him."

Liu Sanshu sighed, a look of heartache flashed in his eyes, he didn't hesitate anymore, he inserted seven third-order low-grade spirit stones into the center of the formation plate, and the huge spiritual power was absorbed by the formation foundations of Duanshuiya in an instant.

Liu Sanjiu manipulated the formation, and opened a hole in the mid-air of the formation shield facing the group of corpses, and the complex aura of Tai Chi appeared, and instantly shot out hundreds of aura sword waves as thick as bowls.

The group of corpse mandrills had no time to escape, and they were bombarded to death seven or eight times, and the purple-haired corpse mandrill in the lead did not escape the bombardment, and the remaining lucky ones were almost dead when they saw their companions,'Zhizhi~ Screaming indiscriminately, he climbed up the cliff without looking back, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

When the seven third-tier low-grade spirit stones were taken out, they were basically in the dark. Liu Sanjiu lamented: "Hey, it's a pity that these high-quality spirit stones are overkill."

[Three-Yuan Yuqi Formation] is a second-tier top-grade mountain protection formation, which can easily counteract the attacks of ordinary foundation-builder cultivators. With full force, even the collective attacks of thousands of Qi-training cultivators can defend for a while time.

Moreover, it also has the ability to absorb magical attacks and push them back. It is not a problem to deal with these hundreds of corpse mandrills, most of whom are in the early stage of Qi training or even have no cultivation level.

That is, every time an attack is activated or a reflection technique is converted, the spiritual power is consumed too much. Now Chilongmen has no source of livelihood, and it all depends on Tao Fangyin's accumulated capital. The third-order spirit stones used in this attack are Liu San's. Shaking out his personal belongings cost him half of his belongings.

Zhong Ziyan asked Tong Tai to take someone to collect the corpses of the two classmates hanging on the branches of the cliff, and Tong Tai quickly ran out of the supervisory office to handle business.

"If it's not bad, this group of corpses are born with true seeing eyes, and can barely see the scene in the formation. Given some time for the leader, it is very likely to build a foundation. Fortunately, they are in a hurry. Otherwise, it will be more difficult to solve in the future.”

Liu San shook the array, his eyes suddenly blurred, his whole body swayed from side to side, Zhong Ziyan hurriedly supported him, and only a few people present knew that Uncle Liu was so weak.

"After working hard for more than ten days in a row, I am really tired after encountering this incident again today. Come on with the rest of the work, and I will go to rest."

Liu San shook his body, left the supervisory office and went back to the cave.

Zhong Ziyan discussed with the two senior brothers Jiang Qi, and took the corpses of the corpses on the cliff back to the door with the same door. A total of more than [-] eyes of true vision were collected. These things are worth some money in the cultivation world. Battle a little lost.

******

The funeral affairs of the two fellow students were done very quickly. At night, after everything was over, the morale of a dozen fellow disciples was low. Zhong Ziyan overheard a 30-year-old second-level Qi practice brother muttering, and even complained about the two senior brothers Qin Niu The funeral was not formal enough.

The funeral was naturally arranged by Zhong Ziyan. Now that he heard that person complaining behind his back, he couldn't feel any better. He felt faintly angry, and soon gave a wry smile, and didn't care about it any more.

In just two days, three people died in the sect. If it is their own fault, it is true to say so, but for everyone, how many people died has nothing to do with the sect, so they can't say this in public. The three of them deserved their own guilt and deserved death.

Especially in the last ten days or so, Zhong Ziyan discovered that many of his classmates really had little experience, some logics that peddlers in ordinary markets understand, but these people who pursue the Tao are like idiots, and they don't know anything.

Several fellow students should be used to being at ease in Qingling Mountain before, without any ups and downs. The Liu family in Lingshan was so angry that they decided to go out with Tao Laozu and set up another mountain, thinking it was a good thing to enjoy blessings.

"Empty has an appearance, no substance inside, the backbone is scarce, and the shape is like an egg. This is the current situation."

Zhong Ziyan sat in the cave, thinking deeply.

I was fortunate enough to meet Master Xie An who helped the blood to cross the catastrophe, and accidentally got involved in the Red Dragon Gate extermination incident. Along the way, Tao Patriarch paid great attention to him and placed high hopes on him. He often taught all night and worked tirelessly.

"If you really want to change this situation, in addition to cultivation, the arrangement of responsibilities among fellow disciples is very important. Those stupid talents are difficult to take on the big responsibilities, and they must be strictly disciplined!"

Zhong Ziyan secretly analyzed, "I have experienced the suffering of homelessness since I was a child. I am used to seeing the children of rich families in school, and I have to work hard to earn a living. Which of these cultivators have experienced it?"

Ask yourself, after getting in touch with him during this period of time, Zhong Ziyan thinks that he is no worse than those of his peers except for his cultivation. If he was forced to take the position of "head" in the past, he will take it on his own initiative now. Otherwise, if something happens to Patriarch Tao, the sect will be defeated by idiots in the future, and he will have to wander around as a lonely family, maybe he will have to be buried with him.

Don't look at everyone's 'head', it's because of the existence of Tao Laozu, without him, who can look up to me as the bottom of the cultivation world?

Cultivation is naturally the most important thing.

"Besides, livelihood management and disciple cultivation are the two most important things."

Zhong Ziyan thought of a group of fellow students, and those were the only ones he agreed with.

"In the gate of Guanguan, Jiang Yuzhou, Tang Lin, Tao Hanting, Qi Changhong, Jian Yong, these five brothers are worthy of great use. There are three female cultivators, Du Lan and Yan Zhenying are both beautiful and wise. Senior Sister Han is not young, and the road may be difficult."

Except for Liu Sandou, the master uncle, the other eight Zhong Ziyan can't see anything unusual for the time being, most of them are very stupid, which can be seen from the way Gou Youwei and Tong Tai behave.

There is no need to mention the dead Bai, Qin, and Niu.

According to what was mentioned in yesterday's meeting, livelihood and management are very important, and now I have been eating the money of the warehouse. Let people start to collect evil energy beads. This is a long-term fixed income, and it must be operated well.

In addition, the area of ​​the second-level spiritual land is not small, and a part of it should be set aside for people to plant the spiritual field carefully. The harvest can be sold and regarded as a source of livelihood.

"Perhaps there are more dead mandrills on the cliff. When the ancestor comes back, please trouble him to go up and clean it up. You can also sell some Zhenshi beads for money..."

Zhong Ziyan sorted out his thoughts, peeled off the cocoons one by one, and thought of a whole set of things that must be done in order to develop the school, and what to do needs to be practiced one by one.

The entire Chilongmen does not include Liang Yu and other children who cannot practice Qi. There are a total of 24 people, including five children. These people are far from enough to operate Duanshuiya, but everyone has the potential to grow. Each of these people does his job and does his best.

As for the path of recruiting disciples in the future, it has to be considered in the long run.

This night, Zhong Ziyan stayed up late to sleep. As a 'head', he had to work hard from now on, trying to operate without relying on the ancestor of Jindan was a very challenging thing.

In his sleep, Zhong Ziyan vaguely sensed the natal cloud-breathing whale again. It was swimming slowly and sleeping deeply. The Qi-practicing state cannot see the sea of ​​consciousness internally, and can only rely on this kind of dream that is extremely difficult to enter Sensing the situation, Zhong Ziyan expected this big fish to surprise him.

At dawn, Zhong Ziyan suddenly dreamed of Xie An's last words before he died, mentioning Xie Xuan's name, and then woke up.

"I didn't ask much about Xie Xuan before. This time Tao Patriarch came back and asked in detail."

******

Three days later, Tao Fangyin returned, and when he learned that two more disciples had died in the sect, he went up to the cliff to sweep back and forth, cleaning up all the living things, but in the end he couldn't help but feel heartbroken like a drop of blood.

"Forget it, I can't keep it for a lifetime. After all, the big waves wash away the sand, and it depends on who is the gold..." After Tao Fangyin figured it out, his sorrow quickly faded away.

He brought back three good news:

One, Chilongmen has an additional source of income. Changsumen gave Chilongmen a post road leading to Huaishan Mountain for operation, and his family only takes a small amount of income every year.

Two, three months later, Changsumen will hold a hunting conference, and Chilongmen will be invited to participate at that time, and there will be good things to offer.

Three, the Changsu Sect is willing to give out two places every five years, and let the Chilong Sect go to their secular country to select disciples to enter.

With these three, Chilongmen will be able to live better, but Tao Fangyin paid the price, and the soul contract promises that when Changsumen is in crisis, he will do his best to help once, and the other two times will also help, but it is an uncertain thing. You will only know when you need to make a move. Of course, making a move is based on the premise of not violating your own heart.

Zhong Ziyan thinks more, for example, if the third option is allowed, Liang Yu and other students who cannot practice qi can integrate into the ordinary country, and it is not appropriate to stay at Duanshuiya all the time.

Tao Fangyin came back and stayed for less than two days, and left again. This time it may take two or three months to go out. In addition to looking for the disciples' belongings, there is another thing to do. Before leaving, he told Zhong Ziyan In response to things, he told Jiang Yuzhou and other core juniors about practicing with peace of mind, which showed that he would not come back in a short time.
