Chapter 220: Enlighten the Golden Monkey, Shocked by the Bad News [Subscribe]

Zhou Daoyi quickly entered a state of seclusion.

Zhou Chun also listened to Qing Weizi's warning and did not leave the mountain gate.

Now the Zhou family does have a lot of things that need him to take charge of.

First of all, there is the next war, which may break out at any time.

The three major sects are going to march south to attack the Hualong Sect, so they will certainly have to recruit a large number of soldiers. The Zhou family must make relevant preparations in advance and determine which clansmen will be sent to join the war.

In order to increase the survival rate of these tribesmen in the war, it is definitely necessary to prepare talismans, elixirs and other related supplies in advance.

As for establishing a frontier outpost, we also need to plan and prepare personnel and materials in advance.

However, these things can be arranged slowly and there is still enough time.

Zhou Chun now has another important thing to do immediately.

He brought the King Kong Monkey, who was guarding the main hall in Zhongping Hall, to the courtyard where he lived, and then said to the old monkey: "Monkey, your chance has come. This purple-veined golden peach is for you. Don't let me down!"

As he spoke, he patted the storage bag on his waist and took out the purple-veined golden peach specially prepared for this old monkey.

It turned out that after Lin Hongyu succeeded, she kept her word and gave the other two purple-veined golden peaches to the Zhou family.

Zhou Chun then asked for one of them to help the King Kong Monkey break through and advance.

Because he had talked about this matter with King Kong Monkey before, and now, looking at the temptingly fragrant peach in his hand, King Kong Monkey was drooling with greed.

And this old monkey has been dealing with people in the Zhou family for a long time, and now he has become very shrewd.

He immediately knelt on the ground, clasped his hands together and bowed to Zhou Chun, saying: "Thank you very much for your kindness, Deputy Clan Leader. I will definitely not let you down!"

"Then you should make a breakthrough in Zhou's yard next!"

As Zhou Chun spoke, he threw the purple-striped golden peach in his hand to the old monkey.

Upon seeing this, the old monkey on the ground quickly jumped up to catch the magical peach, and then, in front of Zhou Chun, he ate it in no time until only the core was left.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun immediately stretched out his hand and said, "Give me this fruit core as well. Maybe it can grow a magical peach tree!"

Upon hearing this, the old monkey immediately handed the fruit core to him, then quickly walked to the eaves in the yard and lay down, closing his eyes to digest the medicinal power of the spiritual peach in his body.

"Shi Tou, keep an eye on it. If anything happens, let me know immediately."

After looking at the old monkey under the eaves for a while, Zhou Chun gave some instructions to the golden-armored rock turtle lying in the yard.

When he was in the family, Stone, the golden-armored rock turtle, would usually lie in the yard and guard the door for him.

However, Baibai the Silver Lightning Python and the Golden Winged Tiger were not willing to stay in this small yard. They found a comfortable place on the Pagoda Peak to rest.

Anyway, now that they are Zhou Chun's spiritual pets, everyone in the Zhou family knows about it, so they are not afraid that anyone will hurt them.

At the same time, they had Zhou Chun's instructions and would never harm any human cultivators or monsters in the mountain gate.

After dealing with the matter of the King Kong Monkey's breakthrough evolution, Zhou Chun began to get busy with other family affairs.

On this day, Zhou Chun was handling clan affairs in Zhongping Hall when suddenly a piece of bad news came.

It turned out that both his parents in the secular world had passed away!

When Zhou Chun heard the news, he was also stunned. After asking about the situation, he went to the cave on the top of the mountain and explained the situation to the supreme elder Zhou Mingde.

Only after obtaining Zhou Mingde's permission did he leave the mountain gate and rush to where the secular tribesmen lived.

Not long after, Zhou Chun arrived at the house where his parents lived.

Because of Zhou Chun, his parents, brothers and others all have a very high status in the Zhou family's secular clan settlement. Not only are the mansions they live in no worse than those of princes and nobles, but their food, clothing and other expenses are also better than those of ordinary princes and nobles.

Decades later, his brothers and sisters' children have grown up, married and had children.

Therefore, there are now more than 20 to 30 people in this mansion, big and small, who are related to him by blood.

Seeing him, the deputy patriarch of the Zhou family, coming, his brothers and sisters hurriedly came over with their entire families to greet him and pay their respects.

Zhou Chun waited patiently for everyone to finish greeting each other, then said to his brothers and sisters, "Big sister, second brother, you guys stay, let these younger ones leave first!"

Naturally, no one dared to disobey him.

So, except for the five brothers and sisters, everyone else quickly left the courtyard.

At this time, Zhou Chun looked at his parents' coffins in the mourning hall, and suddenly looked at his brothers and sisters and said, "My parents were only less than 80 years old. With the miraculous medicine I fed them over the years, they could have lived to be 90 or so, if not a hundred years old. How could they suddenly pass away together?"

Hearing his words, the second brother beside him hurriedly shook his head and waved his hands and said, "Don't get me wrong, third brother. We definitely don't dare to be unfilial to our parents!"

The eldest sister also chimed in, "Yes, yes, thanks to the miraculous medicine you gave us, Dad and Mom have always been in good health. How could they suddenly pass away? We have no idea, and the doctors and immortal masters can't figure out the reason either!"

"Don't panic, I naturally won't suspect that you have anything to do with this matter!"

Zhou Chun waved his hands, signaling that they need not panic, and then said in a deep voice: "It's just that my parents can't die in such an unclear way!"

Yes, it’s unclear!
As soon as Zhou Chun saw the appearance of his parents' bodies in the coffin, he knew there must be something wrong with their sudden death.

Although he did not find any scars or signs of poisoning on the bodies of the two, their peaceful expressions clearly revealed a hint of weirdness.

At first glance, this peaceful appearance seems no different from that of an old person who died of old age.

But not only were Zhou Chun's parents several years apart in age, they also often took the magic elixirs he gave them to regulate their bodies. It was impossible for them to suddenly die of old age at the same time!

In view of this, Zhou Chun immediately inquired in detail about the brothers and sisters' parents' circumstances before their death. He also called in some of the maids and servants who had taken care of their parents, and even the doctors who usually treated them, to question them.

After asking a lot of questions, he finally got a clue. He looked at the doctor and said, "You mean, the old man and the old lady have been feeling weak since two or three days ago, and they haven't gotten any better after taking the tranquilizing medicine?"

"Yes, when I was summoned to treat the old man and the old lady the day before yesterday, they said that they had nightmares several times at night and felt a little tired. They wanted me to prescribe some tranquilizing medicine to replenish their spirits, so I prescribed them the tranquilizing and replenishing qi soup according to the recipe passed down from my family clinic!"

“But when I came for a follow-up consultation yesterday, the old man and the old lady said that the Anshen Buqi Decoction had little effect, and asked me to change the prescription. I gave them the Sanbao Yangshen Decoction, but they never expected…” The doctor said this, looked at Zhou Chun with a pale face, and stopped talking.

He just felt that he was extremely unlucky!

Clearly, the two prescriptions he prescribed had absolutely no side effects. How come in less than three days, two old men and women who were normally strong enough to carry water and climb mountains, suddenly died together!
"Is there any medicine left?"

Zhou Chun's eyes suddenly turned and he looked at the maid who usually took care of the two elderly people and asked.

Upon hearing this, the maid hurriedly replied, "The medicine that was boiled two days ago is gone, but the dregs and the herbs that have not been boiled are still there."

"Take me to the kitchen."

Zhou Chun said this and strode towards the kitchen in the mansion.

When he got to the kitchen, he checked all the herbs and residues, but still couldn't find anything wrong.

But he didn't stop there.

After thinking about it carefully, he went back to the mountain gate in person and invited his fourteenth uncle Zhou Jiawei, who was the most skilled in using poison in the family, to his parents' home to examine the bodies of his parents and the things they used during their lifetime.

After Zhou Jiawei finished his investigation and questioning, Zhou Chun looked at him and asked, "Fourteenth Uncle, did you see anything?"

"There are some speculations, but without physical evidence, they can only be regarded as speculations!"

Zhou Jiawei looked up at him and replied carefully.

"It doesn't matter, Uncle Fourteen, just tell me your speculation. I will figure out the truth myself."

Zhou Chun waved his hand, indicating that he could say whatever he wanted.

Seeing this, Zhou Jiawei no longer hesitated and immediately said, "According to the deputy clan leader, your father and the other two have been taking the miraculous medicine you gave them for a long time to regulate their bodies. They also pay attention to self-care and have always been in good health. Even if they occasionally have dreams at night, it shouldn't be so quick to endanger their lives!"

"So judging from this, we can basically conclude that there was an external force that caused your father and the other two to die from a nightmare!"

"And judging from the behavior of your father and the other two before and after their death, it seems likely that they were caused by the three strange poisons: Nightmare Spider Poison, Soul Burial Flower Poison, and Soul Lost Grass Poison."

At this point, he hesitated for a moment, and continued, "I am more inclined to believe that your father and the other two were poisoned by the nightmare spider poison, because this toxin can be mixed with another hallucinogenic toxin, the bliss pollen, to create a way of death that will make people die in a blissful fantasy state without knowing it!"

"Is the Nightmare Spider a demonic beast?"

Zhou Chun narrowed his eyes and suddenly asked.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Jiawei immediately replied, "Nightmare spiders can be demonic beasts or ordinary beasts. Their venom varies in strength, but the effects are similar. Moreover, this kind of strange insect is relatively rare, and I have never seen it before!"

"I understand. Thank you, Uncle Fourteenth, for this."

Zhou Chun nodded, and after thanking Zhou Jiawei, he let him return to the family gate first.

Next, Zhou Chun took care of his parents' funeral affairs alone at their old home, then said goodbye to his brothers and sisters and returned to the mountain gate.

As soon as he returned to Pagoda Peak, Zhou Mingde came down the mountain and asked him, "Zhengchun, how is your investigation going? Your parents died suddenly. Who do you think was responsible?"

"Uncle Fourteen judged that my parents were most likely killed by the mixed poison formed by the Nightmare Spider Venom and the Bliss Pollen. I also believe that his judgment is basically correct!"

Zhou Chun's tone turned cold when he said this, "As for who did it, I think the Jiang family is the most likely. Didn't Master Jiang severely injure the Fire God Jackal with the venom of the Purple Black Snake?"

Hearing his words, Zhou Mingde's face darkened, and he could not help but say coldly: "If it is really the Jiang family, then they are too shameless to actually attack two mere mortals!"

There is no such thing as "harming one's family members" in the world of immortal cultivation, but not taking action against the mortal relatives of one's enemies because of personal grudges is considered a tacit understanding among immortal cultivators.

Especially when it comes to matters between two families, there are very few cultivators who would kill a mortal who is related to the other family by blood just because they hate someone in the other family.

Generally speaking, even if one really wants to settle accounts with the other party's ordinary mortal relatives who are related to him by blood, one will wait until the cultivators in the other party's family are wiped out before doing so.

Because of this, although Zhou Chun had a grudge with the Jiang family, he never thought that the other party would take revenge on his parents.

But now it seems that there are shameless people who don’t follow the rules everywhere!

"What are you going to do now, Zhengchun?"

Zhou Mingde suddenly changed the subject and asked about Zhou Chun's plans.

His parents were murdered, and he must avenge them, but he was also worried that Zhou Chun would act on impulse and do something that would be detrimental to himself and his family.

However, Zhou Chun's reaction was much calmer than he expected.

Zhou Chun said in a low voice: "I plan to ask the third elder to secretly monitor my parents' house to see if the murderer will attack my brothers and sisters again!"

"It would be great if we could catch the murderer right now, but if he stops here, then the Jiang family will be held responsible for this, and we will settle with them later!"

This answer undoubtedly made Zhou Mingde feel relieved.

He immediately nodded and said, "This is a very good way to handle it. I will go talk to Daoquan and he will definitely agree."

After that, he said in a cold voice: "As for the Jiang family, no matter whether this matter is their handiwork or not, we will definitely settle accounts with them in the future!"

Once hatred is formed, it is difficult to resolve it peacefully.

Not to mention the Jiang family's previous hostility towards the Zhou family, the Zhou family's secret murder of the Jiang family's mid-stage Purple Mansion cultivator meant that only one of the two families would survive in the future.

In the eyes of the Jiang family, no matter whether the death of their supreme elder was planned by the Zhou family or not, the Zhou family bears an unshirkable responsibility for this matter!

They haven't even received a single word of condolences or apology from the Zhou family yet!
The previously agreed matter of giving up the right to develop a wilderness settlement seemed to have never been mentioned, and there was no news about it anymore.

With all these things in mind, how could they possibly let it go with the Zhou family!

Therefore, in Zhou Mingde's eyes, when the Zhou family becomes strong in the future and is not disturbed by other things, the first family to be destroyed will be the Jiang family. The Jiang family, this enemy, must never be allowed to have the opportunity to grow and become stronger.
