Cultivating Immortals in the Family: Rising from Beast Familiarity

Chapter 80 Evil barrier, something happened to you

Shocked, disappointed, unbelievable, this is Zhou Daoyi's demeanor and mood at this time.

Hearing Zhou Chun's words, he never expected that the object of Zhou Chun's suspicion would be Zhou Zhengkang, the foundation-building seed that the family paid close attention to and cultivated!

This result made him very shocked and unbelievable.

He didn't want Zhou Chun's suspicion to come true.

But he carefully chewed Zhou Chun's words, and found that the result of the conjecture, which was a combination of facts and guesses, was very reasonable, and it was impossible to completely deny it.

For a moment, he was stunned there, and he didn't make a sound for a long time.

Zhou Chun looked at his words and knew that it was difficult for him to accept his suspicion as a fact, and he was even more worried that he would make some unfavorable decision.

So after hesitating for a while, he suggested again: "Actually, patriarch, if you want to verify the authenticity of the younger generation's suspicion without hurting Brother Seven's trust in the family, it is very simple. I just gave him honey flower tea."

"If the Supreme Elder had given a large amount of honey flower tea to Seventh Brother, then Seventh Brother drinking honey flower tea alone in the study is also a normal thing that can be explained. It proves that the younger generation is thinking too much."

Zhou Chun's suggestion is actually very risky.

Because once the Supreme Elder Zhou Mingde, no matter whether it was true or false, admitted the matter and defended Zhou Zhengkang, then his suspicion would be untenable.

But Zhou Chun still did it.

The reason is very simple, he must not let Zhou Daoyi have the illusion that he did this because he was jealous of Zhou Zhengkang.

Another thing is that in his mind, Zhou Zhengkang was already [-] to [-]% sure that the other party was a traitor based on Zhou Zhengkang's previous performance.

Even if Supreme Elder Zhou Mingde protects him this time and helps him out of danger, as long as the level of surveillance on him is increased in the future, he may not be able to catch evidence of his collusion with outsiders.

Until this time, even Zhou Chun himself had never thought that Zhou Zhengkang would be the murderer of Zhou Jiahui.

At this time, after listening to Zhou Chun's suggestion, Zhou Daoyi also came back to his senses, nodded repeatedly and said: "Zhengchun, your suggestion is very good, I will go to the Supreme Elder to verify the matter."

After finishing speaking, his face became serious, and he looked at Zhou Chun solemnly and confessed: "In addition, don't tell anyone what you said today except this seat, even other elders and the Supreme Elder, understand? ?”

"Yes, this junior understands!"

Zhou Chun's heart shuddered, and he immediately responded seriously.

He knew in his heart that Zhou Daoyi was protecting himself.

Then Zhou Chun was sent back to Baozhi Peak to wait for news.

And after sending Zhou Chun away, Zhou Daoyi also meditated for several hours alone in the "Zhongping Hall" before he finally calmed down and adjusted his mentality.

Then he went to the cave residence of Supreme Elder Zhou Mingde on the top of Pagoda Peak.

"The patriarch came to this old man today, did something happen to the family?"

Inside the cave mansion, Zhou Mingde looked at Zhou Daoyi, who never went to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and directly asked him why he came.

He, the Supreme Elder, usually devotes himself to cultivating quietly, but he only asks about family affairs, and usually only comes to him when he encounters something that Zhou Daoyi and others cannot solve, or when it is a decision that cannot be easily made.

So he knew very well that if Zhou Daoyi came to see him without asking for instructions in advance, something must have happened to him.

Facing his inquiry, Zhou Daoyi nodded first, then shook his head and said: "It is true that something small happened in the family, but don't worry about it, uncle. The younger generation came to see uncle today because he wanted to ask uncle for help. Some honey flower tea is for entertaining guests!"

"Would you like honey flower tea to entertain your guests?"

Zhou Mingde was taken aback for a moment, then carefully looked at Zhou Daoyi for a while.

I couldn't help shaking my head and said: "I don't have much honey flower tea anymore. When we first came to Yasukuni, we gave gifts and treated guests everywhere, but we emptied most of the stock in my hand. Now I only have less than two bottles left in my hand. !"

Zhou Daoyi frowned when he heard this.

"You don't even have your uncle?"

Then he nodded and said: "The junior should find a way from other clan members. I remember that boy Zhengkang got some honey flower tea from his family before. He is young, so he should still keep this thing in his hand! "

Unexpectedly, after Zhou Mingde heard his words, he shook his head directly and said: "Don't count on Zhengkang, after he drank at my place two years ago, he still begged me to give him half a bottle. There are so many for him, but in the end, I only gave him two pills to satisfy his cravings!"

However, as soon as he finished speaking, he saw Zhou Daoyi's complexion suddenly changed.

I saw his face instantly covered with anger and shouted: "Then it looks like it's really him!!"

Such a change also caused Zhou Mingde's expression to change drastically. He couldn't help looking at him solemnly and asked repeatedly: "What is he really? What are you hiding?"

Zhou Daoyi heard the words, immediately took a deep breath, and said in a heavy voice: "Uncle Mingjian, it's not that this junior deliberately concealed it just now, but before this matter is confirmed, this junior really dare not let you know easily!"

"But now that everything is clear, this junior can only tell the truth to you, uncle!"

Then it started from Zhou Jiahui's disappearance, to how the Zhou family couldn't find anyone, how to investigate the traitor, and how Zhou Chun used the clue of "honey flower tea" to deduce and judge that Zhou Zhengkang was the most suspected.

He directly reported all the clues and doubts to Zhou Mingde.

And it was like Zhou Daoyi's reaction when he first heard Zhou Chun say that Zhou Zhengkang was a suspect.

When Zhou Mingde heard that one of his favorite juniors would be a traitor to the family, he was also very shocked and unbelievable.

In particular, he didn't have any intuitive impression of Zhou Chun. It was only because of Zhou Chun's achievements in winning the top ten in the youth group in the martial arts competition of the five major Xiuxian families and discovering the Chiyao iron vein that he knew that the family was young. There is such a good junior among the generations.

At this time, he heard that Zhou Daoyi suspected that Zhou Zhengkang was a traitor to the family based on the speculation and judgment of such a junior in his 20s. He also felt very absurd and shocked.

"Just because there is a teapot with honey flower tea in Zhengkang's study, it is suspected that he betrayed his family and murdered his elders. Daoyi, don't you think this is absurd?"

"And the junior you mentioned, how do you know that he didn't pour dirty water on Zhengkang because he was jealous of Zhengkang's treatment in the family and because he was about to take the foundation building pill?"

"Without any actual evidence, is it reasonable for you to doubt the foundation seed of a family like this?"

Zhou Mingde glared at Zhou Daoyi with a look of shock and anger, and his tone was very intense.

No wonder he is so.

After all, Zhou Zhengkang, as his elder brother's descendant, has been loved by him as his own descendant since he was a child, and he has placed high hopes on him.

Now when he heard that Zhou Daoyi had no actual evidence, he suspected that his most beloved descendant had betrayed the family, how could he not be extremely shocked and furious.

But Zhou Daoyi had spent several hours in the "Zhongping Hall" thinking calmly before, facing his expected reaction at this time, he seemed very calm.

I saw that Zhou Daoyi was not in a hurry to argue with him, but just looked at him with a heavy face and said, "Uncle, please calm down first, this junior knows that you love Zhengkang very much. Over the years, this junior has paid more attention and support to him than you. Quite a few, you won’t disagree with that!”

Zhou Mingde opened his mouth when he heard the words, but he couldn't refute.

20 years earlier, not long after he broke through the Purple Mansion, he was busy familiarizing himself with this realm and cultivating spells diligently. He really didn't have much time to take care of Zhou Zhengkang, so he could only ask Zhou Daoyi, the patriarch, to take care of him.

Later, after the Zhou family took root in Jiufengling, he also knew very well his importance to the Zhou family today, and felt that he had a great responsibility, so he had been practicing hard all the time, and he didn't have the time to take care of Zhou Zhengkang.

In addition, Zhou Zhengkang had grown up at that time, so he only needed to bestow more treasures, and occasionally call him to give advice.

Now that he was unable to refute his own words, Zhou Daoyi was also certain in his heart, and continued: "You said that we suspect Zhengkang without any evidence, which is obviously wrong."

"Zhengkang also left the family on the day Jiahui left, and it was Jiahui who had just left before he came to me and said he wanted to go out to relax. This time to relax is too coincidental!"

"There is also the time when Zhengchun witnessed him coming out of the Spiritual Beast Pavilion. Wasn't that time just shortly after the recruitment of disciples in Qinglian Monastery ended, a few days after your uncle and I lifted the ban on him?"

"At that point in time, going to the Spirit Beast Pavilion, is this also a distraction in the past?"

"There is also the scent of honey flower tea that Zhengchun smelled in his study. Uncle, you and I both know that you can only drink tea alone in a place like the study, and the teapot must have been brewed for less than a day!"

"And this happened to happen more than ten days after Jiahui disappeared."

"You also said that you haven't given him much honey flower tea, and the Spirit Beast Pavilion only sells honey flower tea, not honey flower tea, so where did he get this honey flower tea? Can you explain it to him? is that clear?"

"There is one more thing. Since he came back from going out to relax, he has asked this junior several times when he will be able to receive the Foundation Establishment Pill. If he hadn't doubted him before, this junior wouldn't have thought much about it, but now he doesn't." Don't you dare to think about his purpose!"

It can be clearly seen that every time Zhou Daoyi said something, Zhou Mingde's complexion became ugly, and the anger on his face also decreased.

After Zhou Daoyi finished summarizing all the information, the anger on his face almost dissipated.

Before Zhou Daoyi could finish his words, he quickly continued: "This kid Zhengkang, the younger generation thinks he understands well. I think that his future achievements must not be limited to the realm of the juniors, and may not even be limited to the Zifu period!"

"Originally, this is nothing. Young people are not young if they are not young and energetic. Who is not so tall when they are young?"

"But uncle, you also know that what we prevented him from worshiping Qinglian temple before, dealt him a great blow, and even made him feel that we blocked his way!"

"Of course, you and I both know that after he builds the foundation in the future, he will gradually understand how difficult it is to open up the Purple Mansion later, and how rare it is to find spiritual objects that can be useful to monks in the foundation period. He will naturally figure it out by then. These, so I didn't pay too much attention to his naive thoughts."

Speaking of this, Zhou Daoyi couldn't help but sighed deeply with a wry smile on his face: "But now it seems that he is really likely to do stupid things that you and I don't think he would do! Normal people don't There will always be abnormal people who can do things!"

Only Zhou Daoyi knew how much heartache and grief were contained in this last sentence.

If there weren't too many clues pointing to Zhou Zhengkang, Zhou Daoyi would never believe that Zhou Zhengkang, who is the foundation seed of the family, would betray the family!

If this kind of thing is said, few members of the Zhou family will believe it, dare to believe it.

Because Zhou Zhengkang's conditions are really excellent, with his own excellent spiritual root talent and excellent background, with the combination of the two, he is destined to become one of the most powerful people in the Zhou family in the future, and even has a great influence. The word "one" may be removed.

With such good conditions, normal people would only think about betraying the family and leaving the family if their brains are broken.

"Although the old man still finds it hard to believe that Zhengkang would do such a thing, since you are convinced of this, Daoyi, the old man can ask you to verify the authenticity, what are you going to do?"

Zhou Mingde looked at Zhou Daoyi with a complicated face in front of him, and after a long silence, he still made a decision that suited his identity.

Back then, he was able to stand up and lead the Zhou family's monks to Jiufengling to lay a foundation. He didn't need to doubt the Zhou family's loyalty and love at all.

Therefore, even if he finds it hard to believe that Zhou Zhengkang will betray the family, after Zhou Daoyi, the patriarch who is also deeply trusted by him, has expressed his intention to investigate the matter, he will not forcibly stop it for his own personal reasons.

It's just that this kind of investigation and verification must be carried out under his supervision.

Zhou Daoyi also understood this, so he quickly said: "It's very simple, if Zhengkang is really such a stupid and unaware idiot, we just need to call him over and search him face-to-face. As long as those clues pointing to him are true, he can't be completely silent!"

"Okay, then do it!"

Zhou Mingde's eyebrows twitched, Dang even went to the "Zhongping Hall" with Zhou Daoyi, and then watched Zhou Daoyi assign the big blue parrot "Lanlan" to summon Zhou Zhengkang.

Not long after this passed, Zhou Zhengkang came to the hall.

It can be clearly seen that when Zhou Mingde was also in the hall, a look of panic appeared in Zhou Zhengkang's eyes.

Although he quickly covered it up, it still couldn't escape the eyes of Zhou Mingde and the two of them, and their hearts immediately sank.

Then Zhou Mingde seemed to have completely forgotten the process of discussing with Zhou Daoyi before, his beard and hair were all straight, he glared at Zhou Zhengkang who had just entered the hall and shouted: "Evil barrier, something happened to you!"

what! !

Zhou Zhengkang was taken aback, and stepped back a few steps in a "squeaky" manner, and hurriedly said, "Grandpa, what did you say? Why can't my grandson understand!"

"I still want to quibble!"

Zhou Mingde shouted angrily, and with a wave of his hand, he used the "body-fixing technique" to freeze Zhou Zhengkang in place.

Then he stretched out his hand, and the storage bag on Zhou Zhengkang's waist fell into his hand.

He easily opened the storage bag and shook out all the contents.

Soon the jade bottle that still contained the remaining few "Honey Flower Tea" tea pills was ingested into his hand.

After seeing the newer tea pills inside, the angry look on Zhou Mingde's face was no longer deliberately pretended.

"Just for a few tea pills, you betrayed your family and murdered your elders!!"

He tightly held the jade bottle in his hand, and glared at Zhou Zhengkang with anger on his face, the anger in his eyes almost turned into substance.

At this time, Zhou Daoyi scanned the pile of things on the ground with his spiritual sense, and quickly looked at one of the purses containing a large number of spiritual coins and said: "There are a lot more spiritual coins, he has been practicing in the family , I still know how much wealth he has, and the number of spirit coins in this storage bag is obviously far beyond what he should have!"

Receiving his reminder, Zhou Mingde also glanced at the bulging money bag, and then his face became more angry.

With a wave of his hand, Zhou Zhengkang was knocked down to the ground with a loud "slap" slap, and the effect of the "fixation technique" was also undone.

"Come on, I'm waiting to hear your sophistry and see how capable you are. You can fabricate the origins of these things so well that you can't find any mistakes!"

At this moment Zhou Mingde, like a raging lion, stared fiercely at Zhou Zhengkang, very frightening.

How hard it was for him to believe that Zhou Zhengkang would betray his family before, how angry he is now.

Even Zhou Daoyi, who knew him well, couldn't guess how he would deal with Zhou Zhengkang at this moment.
