The years when I explored the fairyland.

Chapter 283 280: The World is Shocked (Shamelessly Asking for a Vote)

One day later,

Inside the Patriarch Hall.

Chu Zhou took out three incense sticks, waved them casually, and they ignited without wind. He then respectfully bowed three times to Taoist Xuan Zhen before inserting them into the incense burner.

Looking back, quite a few people had already gathered in the Patriarch's Hall.

Xu Cheng and Fan Tiehu were of course both there, sitting on the left and right sides. Below that, apart from the two empty seats, were Taoist Qingjing, Wei Jinkui, Zhongli Linghui and Feng Yan.

Compared to the sect, Xuanzhen Palace has existed for too short a time, and no second-generation disciples have truly grown to the point of being able to stand on their own, so these four external elders also have a seat in the core.

However, after going through so many things, they have become one with Xuanzhen Palace. In fact, their origins and past are no longer important.

In addition, Hao Songqing was also specially invited by Chu Zhou.

This person's planning and execution capabilities are the only ones Chu Zhou has ever seen in his life. No matter how complicated the matter is, he can handle it clearly in his hands. He is definitely a rare internal affairs talent.

In the previous battle against the Beggars’ Army, his abilities were demonstrated to the fullest.

However, perhaps it was Zhou Wu's death that made this man disillusioned with the world and have no motivation to move forward. He neither clung to power nor coveted money.

Often when he had finished his work, he would consciously hand over the power in his hands and retreat into his small room.

When I am busy, I make some "calming and soothing incense". When I am free, I read a book or write. My life is extremely comfortable.

Chu Zhou would naturally not be stingy with such talents, and directly gave him the treatment of an 'elder', as well as cultivation methods, books on the four auxiliary subjects, and elixirs.

Then, perhaps because his state of mind was in a state of inaction and in line with the requirements of cultivation, his progress was extremely rapid.

Not to mention old fellows like Taoist Qingjing, even the best among the second-generation disciples were not as good as him, which made Wei Jinkui very envious.

However, under normal circumstances, this person is unwilling to appear in public, so this time Chu Zhou sent Fan Zhong to invite him specially.

As for Fan Zhong, he stood behind Chu Zhou, doing his duty as a steward and was unwilling to sit down.

At this point, except for Yi Huai and Wei Fangjie who were out, this place is the core of Xuanzhen Palace. Almost everyone has a job to do and they also support the operation of Xuanzhen Palace.

Chu Zhou looked around and smiled. This was the team he had built. They couldn't be said to be excellent, but they were definitely suitable.

However, there are certainly some bad aspects, such as the lack of fresh blood.

After the second generation of disciples grow up and gain some experience, some of them can be absorbed into the core management team, thus ensuring the vitality of Xuanzhen Palace.

But that’s all in the future!

Chu Zhou raised his head slightly, looked at Xu Cheng, and asked, "Have you contacted Yi Huai and Fang Jie?"

"We have used the Thousand Mile Sound Transmission to get in touch with them. According to them, they are now in Meihuaping. If the news arrives any later, they will probably be imprisoned."

"That place is not something they can force their way into. Let them come back!"

"Of course, they've turned back.

However, in order to conceal their whereabouts, they chose Meihuaping, which is a bit far away, and it will take some time to get back."

This was Fan Tiehu's answer. After a pause, he asked again, "Big Brother, I wonder what's going on with those ghost places?"

"It's a long story."

Chu Zhou's eyes swept across everyone present, and after a pause, he said softly, "What I am going to say now will go beyond your existing cognition and break your inherent worldview, but this is the truth, the true appearance of the universe.

You may feel incredible, unbelievable, or have many questions, but before I finish, please do not interrupt and just listen quietly. "

Chu Zhou's words were not harsh, but they were inexplicably serious. It could even be said that he rarely spoke to them in such a serious tone.

This made them all serious. They looked at each other, stood up, bowed, and said, "Palace Master, please speak. We are all ears!"

"Sit down, sit down, don't take it so seriously!"

Chu Zhou waved his hands, his eyes became extremely deep, he thought carefully, and murmured: "Where to start?

Yes, yes, let’s start from the ancient times when the Red Dragon Immortal crossed the void!”

Chu Zhou's voice became distant and long, as if it carried a heavy historical atmosphere, and also led everyone back to the distant past.

Thus, the dispatch of the Heavenly Court, the arrival of the Great Red Dragon Immortal, the barren planet, the opening of the blessed land, the birth of the oasis, the reproduction of life, the origin of the ancient immortals, the battle between the second generation of immortal servants, the reason and process of the Jedi-Heaven connection...

All of this was narrated by Chu Zhou in a leisurely manner, just like a picture scroll slowly unfolding, revealing the magnificent truth.

At first, everyone was puzzled as to why Chu Zhou was so serious, but when the truth of history unfolded before them, everyone was stunned.

His eyes gradually became obsessed, as if he was in shock and unable to extricate himself.

Chu Zhou’s idea is very simple. Some things cannot be hidden, and there is no need to hide them.

What's more, if Xuanzhen Palace wants to grow and develop, it cannot rely on Chu Zhou alone. The entire sect must grow and everyone must work together.

Therefore, Chu Zhou had to tell them the truth, at least part of the truth.

Moreover, this time he told not only the history of this realm, but also the number of caves, the secret fairy palace, the teleportation ability of the observatory, the yellow turban warriors, and the fairy servants of the fairy palace.

Apart from that, he did not hide anything about the Wanxian City for transactions and communication, the existence of other immortal cultivation realms, etc.!

Everyone was fascinated by what they heard and wanted to ask questions many times, but every time the words came to their lips, they suppressed them.

Of course, Chu Zhou didn’t tell everything. For example, his identity as a messenger from heaven, the main mission of the Jieying Hall, the teachings of the Jieying Immortal and so on, were considered private secrets, so he didn’t mention them!

Even though Chu Zhou tried to keep his words as concise as possible, it still took him two full hours to explain everything.

When he couldn't think of anything to say, everyone asked questions and he answered them one by one. Well, there were some questions that he couldn't answer either.

But even so, it has established a new worldview for everyone.

After the question and answer session, the ancestral hall fell into a long silence. Chu Zhou did not disturb them, but held the teacup and sipped the tea that had already cooled down.

After a long, long time, the first person to speak was Hao Songqing. His scarred face became more and more fascinated, and his voice was hoarse but full of emotion.

“It turns out that the world is so big!”

This one sigh expresses the thoughts of everyone.

At this time, Fan Tiehu asked, "Big Brother, you've told us so much, but are you going to take us to see the magnificent world?"

"Haha, of course!"

Chu Zhou put down his teacup, his eyes sparkling, and said, "The world is so big and so wonderful, I want to take you to see it together.

But this road is not easy to walk on! "

Wei Jinkui stood up directly and said: "It's right that it's not easy to walk, but it's precisely because it's not easy to walk that it's full of attraction.

Palace Master, you go ahead, and we will follow you, never leaving you!"

"Yes! What Elder Wei said really struck a chord with me."

"I am so old, but I can still see the vastness of the universe. The path to immortality is vast. God is so lucky to me!"

"As long as the Palace Master doesn't despise us for being old and weak, we will follow you till death!"

A flurry of voices rang out in the Ancestral Hall, as if everyone had returned to the passionate old days. Everyone looked excited and impulsive, even people like Feng Yan and Taoist Qingjing looked excited.

Chu Zhou listened to their "bold words" without any surprise. Anyone who knew this would want to conquer the world.

Seeing that everyone had calmed down a little, Xu Cheng said, "Big Brother, what do you say we should do? We will do whatever you say!"

Chu Zhou shook his head and said, "How can it be that simple?!

The seal of the ancient immortal has loosened, and who knows how many demons and monsters will appear in this world to cause chaos; and when the fog at the end of the sky dissipates, who knows what kind of world is behind it?

How should the secret realm be developed? How should the disciples of Xuanzhen Palace be trained and tempered? Wanxian City is a good trading platform, but what products can we offer?

I have been thinking about all these things for many days, but I still can't figure them out. The reason why I called you all together today is to gather everyone's strength, make a good plan, and give our development a clear direction and goal! "

At this point, almost everyone turned their heads and looked at Hao Songqing behind them.

how to say?

In fact, they are used to following orders, especially in previous cases, Chu Zhou was the one who planned and designed, and they carried out the specific tasks.

Chu Zhou was scratching his head in such a complicated situation, and they were even more confused.

However, the abilities demonstrated by Hao Songqing had already been recognized by them, and when they asked for strategies, everyone almost thought of him unanimously.

Chu Zhou also followed everyone's gaze, looked at Hao Songqing, and asked: "Mr. Hao, is there anything you can teach me?"

Hao Songqing smiled bitterly, stood up, bowed slightly, and said: "Palace Master, to be honest, I have heard a lot today and was greatly shocked. I am also a little emotional and don't know where to start.

Could you give me a few days to sort it out carefully and then give the Palace Master a set of rules?"

"Okay, there's no rush."

Chu Zhou turned his gaze and looked at everyone, saying: "You can't run away either, write them all for me, one copy for each person, write as much as you can!"

"Yes!"

The responses at this time seemed sparse and listless.

In fact, this kind of overall planning and design requires consideration of all aspects and a long-term vision, which is not something that everyone can do.

"Alright, let's put this matter aside for now. Tell me about the situation in the world during my absence, and the development of the sect...

Tell me everything, no matter how big or small it is. "

Xu Cheng and Fan Tiehu looked at each other, and Xu Cheng spoke up: "As for the situation in the world, let Elder Zhongli and Elder Feng talk about it. The two elders are in charge of intelligence information."

Zhongli Linghui also came prepared. She took out a booklet and handed it over. Fan Zhong took it and gave it to Chu Zhou.

Chu Zhou flipped through the records at random, quickly scanning the contents, and Zhongli Linghui spoke at the right time, saying: "The overall situation in the world has to start from the battle of Xiangji Mountain..."

Although he is also responsible for intelligence gathering, Zhongli Linghui has inherited the foundation of Wenxiang Temple and developed on this basis, so he can be considered a hidden line.

Feng Yan, on the other hand, was mostly in charge of communicating with major factions throughout the country and even the imperial court, and was responsible for the open line.

The superposition of the obvious and hidden lines is the intelligence organization of Xuanzhen Palace, and the information gathered is relatively accurate.

The battle at Xiangji Mountain was so brutal that it can almost be said that all three sides suffered losses.

The Dayun Dynasty was the one defending the city and suffered heavy casualties; but the Dayan and the Golden Horde were not much better off and suffered even greater deaths.

Moreover, this loss not only includes grassroots soldiers, but also martial arts masters among them.

From the Body Tempering Stage upwards, even to the Grandmaster or Grandmaster level, there is a chance of death.

This was not just a simple injury, but a serious one. After the immortals on land kidnapped Chu Zhou and left, they could no longer fight.

In addition to the agreement between Chu Zhou and the immortals on land, the war ended here, and the three parties ceased fighting and returned home to lick their wounds.

It can be said that the world after the war was actually very stable. Excluding gang fights, there were very few fights among martial arts sects at the county level.

This situation of licking wounds and recovering vitality can actually be said to have continued to this day.

However, after strange events occurred frequently, the world became turbulent again. Beneath the calm surface, there were unexpected and turbulent undercurrents.

Although these strange events are limited to a certain place, human hearts cannot stand the test.

In the previous war, many sects suffered heavy losses, but many sects preserved their strength. After another year of accumulation and growth, many sects already had the strength to rise to the top, and naturally they had ambitions.

What is lacking is the opportunity, and those inexplicable and strange things are the best excuses.

Of course, these are nothing. At least at this stage, the situation has not gotten out of control, and it has nothing to do with Xuanzhen Palace.

What is truly worth mentioning is that the secret martial arts, methods of cultivating immortals, spells, basic elixirs, weapons and talismans passed down by Xuanzhen Palace have been widely spread within this year.

Nowadays, almost all respectable sects practice new-style martial arts. Those with some strength will arrange for their disciples to mainly practice immortal methods, and also touch upon spells, auxiliary techniques, and so on.

The method of body refining is a niche method even in heaven. It is extremely difficult and has many restrictions. It is indeed far inferior to the immortal way.

People in this world are naturally not fools, and it is clear at a glance what to choose.

Although Xuanzhen Palace has closed its doors and does not receive outsiders, the mission binding in the Yellow Crane Tower has not been closed.

Although there are fewer tasks involving fighting and killing, there are more tasks to collect various spiritual herbs, spiritual materials, spiritual blood, and spiritual minerals. Most of the items exchanged are methods, spells, and elixirs, which also provides channels for people all over the world.

In fact, in Baisha City, the strongholds of the major sects are no longer limited to the Dayun Dynasty, but also include Dayan and those from the Golden Horde.

The cessation of war among the three kingdoms represented a kind of balance. The martial arts sects of these other countries also brought a lot of goodies and exchanged them for many methods of cultivation.

Although the time was short, there are still some geniuses in this world who cannot be judged by common sense and have made achievements in various fields.

Even Xuanzhen Palace had been busy for so long before they found a new way to refine low-grade elixirs. However, there was a sect that was proficient in medicinal food and was able to draw inferences from it and come up with similar results.

Although they are still immature, they are everywhere.

Time passed quickly during the communication, and in the blink of an eye, the sun had set.

As evening approached, the last rays of the setting sun shone into the hall. Chu Zhou waved his hand and stopped the closed-door meeting.

Dinner still needs to be eaten, but before that, there is still something to do.

"Xu Cheng, Tiehu?"

"Big Brother!"

"You go there in person and ring the sect's bronze bell to tell the sect's disciples and the people of the world that I, Chu Zhou, am back!"

"Yes!!!"

Dang Dang Dang...

The sound of the bell was long and resounding, like the loud sound of a huge bell, and in an instant it spread throughout the Xuanzhen Palace.

The sect's disciples, some who were practicing boxing, some who were cultivating magic, some who were meditating, and some who were sorting out worldly things, all stopped what they were doing at this moment and listened carefully.

The ringing of bells has always been a big event, but different numbers of bells ringing have different representations, and there are regulations for this.

At this moment, the bells rang one after another, shocking the heart, yet neither too fast nor too slow.

Finally, all the disciples had expressions of disbelief and joy on their faces.

"Palace Master, you're back!"

I don't know who shouted first, and then countless people shouted in ecstasy: "Palace Master, you're back!"

"Palace Master, you're back!"

The voice was mighty yet noisy, but after a moment, it was organized into one stream and gathered into one sentence.

"Welcome, Palace Master, back to the sect!"

"Welcome, Palace Master, back to the sect!"

Inside the Patriarch's Hall, Fan Tiehu suddenly had an idea and fiddled with the formation plate in his hand. As a result, the mountain protection formation moved quietly, and the mighty sound waves passed through the formation and reached Baisha City.

As a result, hundreds of thousands of people in the entire city seemed to be under a spell, standing still and turning their heads to look in the direction of Xuanzhen Palace.

Chu Zhou’s return will shock the whole world!
