Today I hold the world

"Senior Brother Gou, have you made a breakthrough?"

In the forbidden room, the earlier violent aura gradually dissipated at this moment.

34-year-old Gou Youwei broke through to the fifth level of Qi training.

His long hair was disheveled and his eye sockets were sunken, and his figure looked much thinner than Zhong Ziyan.

For more than half a year, because of the death of Junior Brother Bai Luo in a drama, he was once trapped in self-blame and remorse.

If he hadn't got in touch with Senior Brother Gou in detail, Zhong Ziyan would have thought that he was just a child who didn't grow up, and that he acted like a child at Li Zhinian; but he came down to chat with him from time to time in the past six months, and found that he was not stupid, just Less involved in the world, and even contributed to the disaster that night.

On weekdays, I and other fellow disciples also inquired about the past of Senior Brother Gou. He had a master who doted on him, an elderly female cultivator, who died a year ago during the battle to defend Qingling Mountain. I heard that he cried very sadly at that time , the 30-year-old lay on the ground and wailed, and was laughed at by many of his classmates.

Analyzing Senior Brother Gou’s life in the first 30 years, like a flower held in his hand, he has never suffered a few times, and has been living in a dream. Originally, he was kind-hearted and had no evil intentions. Bai Luo, I'm afraid it will be difficult to wake up in this lifetime.

All today's results must have yesterday's causes.

Today's Gou Youwei has clear eyes, few words, and a bright sky. He is no longer that crazy adult baby who talks nonsense and doesn't know what to do. His age and his heart have recombined.

"I've met the head of the sect, and I have gained a lot of insight recently, and I have successfully broken through the fourth level of Qi training~"

Gou Youwei upholds the etiquette, and he is very close to the head of the sect in front of him. For more than half a year, few people have come to see him.

Zhong Zi waved his hands happily, indicating that there is no need to be polite, "Senior Brother Gou, this time I was quite surprised."

"The head of the sect is serious. I am a dull person. In the past, I only knew how to be playful. I wasted a good time. Now that I think about it, I regret it for the rest of my life~"

In terms of aptitude, Gou Youwei's dual spiritual roots of water and wood, his natal [Tianshu Gourd], and his top-grade cultivation aptitude are stronger than most people. If it weren't for his ignorance of the world and his playful nature, he should be with Qi Changhong, Jiang Yuzhou and others also cultivated.

Looking at Senior Brother Gou today, Zhong Ziyan felt that he was completely different from what he was more than half a year ago. After thinking about it in his heart, he opened his mouth and said:

"Nowadays there are so many things in the sect, senior brother Dong died unexpectedly half a month ago, it is the time when manpower is urgently needed, if not... I beg the old ancestor, senior brother Gou will come out and make meritorious deeds sooner!"

Originally, there were still more than two years of life in the forbidden room. If he could get out as soon as possible, Gou Youwei would be grateful.

"I will do my best to repay the kindness of the master!" Gou Youwei bowed deeply.

Zhong Ziyan quickly helped Gou Youwei up, "Hey, Senior Brother Gou is always like this, he is more polite than me who used to be an ordinary Confucian student, and a Taoist monk should be more airy~"

With Zhong Ziyan's joking tone, the atmosphere immediately became less dignified. Chilongmen was originally a Taoist orthodox, because Cao Di's ancestor was born in Wuliang Mountain.

Although this point has come to the point, Gou Youwei is still a little worried that Old Ancestor Tao won't let him go, so he hesitated for a while before asking.

Zhong Ziyan patted Gou Youwei with a smile, "Brother Gou, don't worry, the ancestor is that unreasonable and indifferent person?"

Reassuring Gou Youwei, Zhong Ziyan only taught him to wait for the good news, and left the forbidden room with a smile.

Senior Brother Gou made a breakthrough today, and Zhong Ziyan was in a particularly good mood. Walking on the way up the cliff, by the way, he calculated the current positions in the sect.

Under the name of the ninth generation head of the Chilongmen, not counting Tao Laozu and Liu Sandou, there are a total of 23 fellowmen.

Counting adults, there are fourteen in total. Jian Yong and Tao Hanting are shrewd, thoughtful, and responsible for foreign affairs and business negotiations.

Jiang Yuzhou is a very strong person, righteousness is the first priority, and he is very skilled. He is mainly responsible for the management of patrolling and patrolling in the gate. Unfortunately, there is a lack of staff for foreign affairs, which requires him to travel for a long time. Most of the time, Zhong Ziyan has to manage it himself.

In the rotating team, Tong Tai is timid and loyal, Zhou Hong is reckless and rough, although the two have flaws, they are obedient to Zhong Ziyan, respectful, and they are still qualified disciples.Sha Datong is a grass-like person with no great ambitions, but he has never dealt with daily tasks, and his mind is still delicate.Only Ji Hao cheated and played tricks, and repeatedly scolded Zhong Ziyan for assigning him a heavy task.

Generally speaking, the Zongmen's inspections can barely support things. After all, Liu Sandou, the formation master, has supported nine out of ten defensive matters, and he is the old man who is the hero.

In terms of internal affairs, Zhong Ziyan is mainly responsible for it himself. In addition to teaching the children to practice general knowledge, Tang Lin also helps a group of Zhong Ziyan from time to time, and Liang Weng works around on chores.

The Five Flavors Pavilion is mainly in charge of Fatty Chu. He is good at cooking, and all the brothers and sisters are full of praise for his spiritual food, and the children often go there to play.

As for the three female cultivators, Han Qin is in charge of Lingtian, Yan Zhenying is mainly in charge of Xiling Road, Du Lan has been practicing from the beginning to the end, and she is often criticized by her peers, saying that she only enjoys her salary and does not make contributions. The reason why Zhong Ziyan did not go The persecution is because this senior sister begged the ancestor to give her time when the mountain gate was first built, and she will be able to break through the middle stage of Qi training within a year, time is what she asks for.

Due to the scarcity of disciples, the sect law and the criminal law are mostly useless. Qi Changhong, the nominal person in charge, besides practicing, basically follows Jian Yong and others to travel around to earn spirit stones.

The last brother Gou Youwei, Senior Brother Gou, Zhong Ziyan planned to work with him first after he came out.

Each of the 14 people in the sect has complicated matters, and it is true that it will delay time in practice, but there is no way to do it. After coming to Huaishan for just over half a year, they are already dead. Dong, Bai, Qin, and Niu, the four senior brothers.

For the fourteen senior brothers and sisters living in the sect today, regardless of whether they are good or bad, Zhong Ziyan regards them as the first generation disciples of the new Chilongmen and cherishes them all the more.

The other nine second-generation disciples, the oldest is Kong Xiang, who is 14 years old. Zong Buer, Chen Shengnian, Miao Fu, Zhou E and Gou'er are Zhong Ziyan's former students. Master Xie An's orphan; Chang Yun and Chang Le brothers and sisters are newly recruited disciples of Lu Guo.

Among the nine disciples, Gou'er, Xie Xuan and Chang Yun were the most naughty, while the rest seemed well-behaved and obedient.

Including Liu Sandou, the foundation-building monk, the first-generation fellow disciples and second-generation disciples counted a total of 24. This is all the family background of Chilongmen, and the other seven students who cannot practice were taught by Liang Weng.

"Hey, it's far from enough to support the development of a sect..."

After a long sigh, Zhong Ziyan was spontaneously encouraged, because the newly hired old man Qi Bi seemed to be a talent, and he just waited for him to cultivate the first batch of [Blood Tribulus] and [Pteris terrestris]. , and the alchemist surnamed Fan who has not met yet, if he is really capable, it will be the blessing of the Chilongmen, and he will be hired as a guest minister to make money for a long time.

The way of livelihood is gradually opened, and then it depends on everyone's situation, and strives to build the foundation as soon as possible. As long as there is another foundation-building monk, he will immediately expand the lintel and recruit disciples from the outer sect.

Thinking all the way in a good direction, Zhong Ziyan laughed from ear to ear, and when he came back to his senses, he had already walked to the door of his cave, cursing himself in his heart for being whimsical, how could things go so smoothly.

Back in the cave, he first sent a letter to the Xiling Road posthouse with the second-level communication artifact [Bee Lingzi], asking Tao Fangyin to allow Gou Youwei to end the forbidden room ahead of time and come out to take his sins and meritorious deeds, and then he devoted himself to practicing retreat.

Five days have passed in the blink of an eye, and the spiritual power in the body has grown rapidly. It feels like there will be more than ten days, and it will be overflowing.

On the morning of the fifth day, Zhou Hong knocked on the door to report, and Zhong Ziyan walked out.

"Master, the person surnamed Fan has come as promised, and is waiting in the main hall. Old man Qi and Junior Brother Tang are being interviewed!"

Although Zhou Hong respected Zhong Ziyan, he couldn't see that the two old men who were not much different from his own cultivation were favored by his relatives.

Zhong Ziyan persuaded: "There is still some courtesy to these two people. After all, they are employed by the sect. Brother Zhou can't let others underestimate your magnanimity. This is not just a loss of face. It is not easy for casual cultivators to survive. Anyone who lives to that age can be considered an elite."

Zhou Hong listened to Zhong Ziyan's persuasion, and respectfully performed the ceremony, "Don't worry, the master, I will definitely not despise the two masters in the future."

"Well, you go to the cliff and tell Senior Brother Gou that the ancestor has agreed to my request, and let him wait a while, and I will greet him after I receive the guests~"

Zhou Hong responded quickly to the cliff.

Zhong Ziyan tidied up his clothes and tidied up the cave, and soon came to the main hall of the Zongmen.

A hearty laugh was heard from a distance, the sound was like a bell, it must be the alchemist named 'Fan Hua'.

Entering the main hall, Zhong Ziyan saw Qi Bi and Tang Lin talking loudly with an old man with yellow beard and cheeks. The alchemist held a black porcelain wine jar in one hand, and hugged old man Qi in the other, bragging about the newly refined elixir, so confident.

"Mr. Fan is here, I'm not far away to welcome you!" Zhong Ziyan stepped forward to meet him.

Take a closer look at this old man with yellow beard, although his spirit is hale and hearty, his face is indeed flushed, and the smell of alcohol is wafting. Well, the first time he came to Chilongmen, he was in a state of drunkenness, and he was not completely drunk. I don't know if it is a fairy or a ghost.

"This is...Master Zhong? Young and promising, I am ashamed~"

Fan Hua got up to meet him, but he was not someone who didn't understand etiquette.

Qi Wei said embarrassedly: "My old friend, he is a little bit addicted to alcohol, Master Zhong must not be offended!"

The voice was almost begging to say it, probably in private, Qi Wei told Fan Hua several times that he must not come to see the head of this sect with Jindan Patriarch in charge, but it is a pity that he still didn't listen go in.

Although Zhong Ziyan has a bit of prejudice against meeting in this state, it is not good to offend him directly. If he has real skills, it doesn't matter if he is addicted to alcohol.

"Haha, Brother Fan is indeed a man of temperament. Mr. Qi should have told you that we are in urgent need of a master who refines [Phoenix Blood Pill], are you willing to help?" Zhong Ziyan said bluntly. theme.

Fan Hua said with a smile: "Come here today, of course I am willing to make a move, but I have one condition!"
