Chapter 149 The Truth About the Zhou Family
The words of the old lady from the Bai family also made Zhou Zhilu understand why he was so popular.
"If that's what you said, then the Zhou family also has an ancestral demon, and this is what the other ancient families are spying on?"
The old lady of the Bai family nodded and said: "It is difficult for Baishe and my Bai family to cooperate anymore, and I no longer place my hopes on Baishe, but other ancient families are different.
"Legend has it that the Zhou family's ancestral demon was a bull with one horn and one leg. When the Zhou family was destroyed, the demon was shattered and scattered all over the place. They want to recruit you so they can find the demon's body and use it to replenish their own demon's power."
Zhou Zhilu couldn't help but feel a bit sad when he heard this. Not only had his family been wiped out, but the ancestral demon's body, which had been shattered, now wanted to be stripped away further...
Although he had no feelings for the Zhou family, he still felt annoyed when being targeted like this.
"What exactly did the Zhou family do wrong? Why do you say that the Zhou family has spied on the power of the God of Wilderness?" Zhou Zhilu couldn't help but ask.
"I asked Qiufeng to copy down the things about the Zhou family from the history book of my Bai family. It's this one. You can read it yourself later. What it says is that the Zhou family wanted to obtain the power of the God of Wilderness and incurred public wrath, and were eventually slaughtered." The old lady of the Bai family took out a booklet and handed it to Zhou Zhilu.
Zhou Zhilu looked at the booklet in silence for a long time, then asked, "Senior Bai, what do you want me to do by telling you this?"
The old lady of the Bai family smiled slightly and said softly, "My time is running out. I can only hold on for another three years at most, and during these three years I must find a way out for the Bai family.
"I'm sure you've seen that colorful snake egg. I've investigated it and found that if it can be successfully hatched, it will grow into a ninth-level monster in a very short time.
"But it's not easy to hatch it. It requires regular use of colorful spiritual energy to nourish it."
Zhou Zhilu suddenly realized that, apart from the escaped Seven-Colored God, he was the only one in the world who could use the seven-colored spiritual energy.
The old lady from the Bai family continued, "In exchange, my Bai family is willing to stand on your side. After all, besides the seven-colored spiritual energy, you don't have anything my Bai family wants to take. On the contrary, our current situations are quite similar. If we can't find a way out, the final outcome will surely not be very good."
Zhou Zhilu thought for a moment and then agreed. After all, the Bai family was still one of the top families in the Song Dynasty, and he had no reason to refuse their help.
"Where is Bai Xiaoqin? Is there any way to restore her?" Zhou Zhilu asked.
The old lady of the Bai family hesitated for a moment, then nodded and replied, "This is also the second thing I want to say. After this is over, Qiu Feng will take Xiao Qin's soul to the Xuanqing Temple in the capital.
"Use the Taoist method of incarnation to create a new body for Xiaoqin. When that time comes, I hope you can lend her a hand and inject some colorful spiritual energy into her. Perhaps there will be a little hope that she will also be qualified to use the colorful spiritual energy."
Zhou Zhilu frowned and asked, "Do you still want to train Xiaoqin?"
"Alas..." The old lady of the Bai family sighed and said, "It's up to her. If she wants to become stronger, you can give her the seven-colored snake eggs to hatch. If she wants to be ordinary, my Bai family will do our best to cover up her existence.
"Born in the Bai family during these turbulent times, it's a luxury to live an ordinary life."
Zhou Zhilu didn't say anything more after hearing this.
After leaving the Bai family, the person walking towards them was Mu Yan, the former captain of the Anbu team.
He showed Zhou Zhilu an arrest warrant and said, "Zhou Zhilu, leader of the Special Demon Case Investigation Team, because you are suspected of violating military orders during your mission, you are being escorted to the capital for questioning."
Zhou Zhilu was not surprised by this, as he had expected it, so he asked, "When?"
Mu Yan sighed, "We're leaving early tomorrow morning, so we still have some time. You should pack up."
Zhou Zhilu nodded and turned to leave.
On the way, he met Bai Qiufeng, got the colorful snake eggs, and told him about his situation.
Bai Qiufeng said that he would take Xiaoqin's soul to the capital as soon as possible, and he expected that his Bai family and the court would also hold negotiations.
The severity of Zhou Zhilu's incident depends on the outcome of the negotiations between the Bai family and the imperial court. However, the matter is over, the poisonous holy body is gone, and the imperial court should not force the Bai family anymore.
Bai Qiufeng also said that he would mention you during the negotiations and try his best to erase Zhou Zhilu's guilt.
At night, Zhou Zhilu sat in the house, and the "Book of Boundaries" in front of him emitted a faint golden light.
In the previous cave, he recorded the White Snake's plan in the "Book of Boundaries" and was rewarded with a burst of purple air.
I was in too much of a hurry at the time and didn't check it in detail. Now I see that my cultivation has reached the late fourth level. It has only been a month or two since I broke through to the fourth level. The speed can be said to be quite fast.
In addition to the improvement of cultivation, this time the purple energy still gave rise to a set of exercises called "Record of the Six Spirits".
Zhou Zhilu took a quick look and found that this was a practice method specifically for cultivating spiritual power.
The six gods refer to the human heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, spleen, and gallbladder. Each position is dominated by a god, so they are called the six gods, corresponding to the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, Black Tortoise, Teng Snake, and Gou Chen respectively.
The "Record of Six Spiritual Souls" uses the power of the soul to condense into six gods. Those who have mastered it can not only protect the body's organs, but also summon gods and condense them into entities for battle.
Zhou Zhilu temporarily suppressed his desire to practice and instead began to record it in the "Book of Realms" again.
"In the 378th year of the Great Song Dynasty, the Bai family's ancestral demon, the White Snake, attempted to use Bai Xiaoqin's poisonous sacred body to steal the power of the Seven Silkworm Gods. However, the Seven Silkworm Gods plotted against them... Ultimately, the Seven Silkworm Gods' consciousness escaped the seal, took possession of the poisonous sacred body, and fled. The White Snake's plan failed, and Bai Xiaoqin only left her spirit behind!"
The news of this incident had already spread, and although the Seven Silkworm God was involved, it ultimately only reached the blue rarity. However, even so, it pushed Zhou Zhilu's cultivation to the peak of the fourth level again.
Next is the most valuable information about the Zhou family.
Zhou Zhilu wrote: There were originally five ancient aristocratic families: Zhou, Li, Mo, Yu, and Bai. However, because the Zhou family sought to gain the power of the God of Desolation, they were surrounded and suppressed by the other four families...
He copied the text according to the history book given by the old lady of the Bai family, but when Zhou Zhilu finished writing, a thick gray mist gushed out from the "Book of Boundaries" and rushed directly into Zhou Zhilu's body.
The powerful negative feedback caused Zhou Zhilu's body and soul to suffer fatal injuries in an instant. He suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood and his breath became extremely weak.
With a loud bang, Zhou Zhilu fell to the ground, his eyes filled with shock before he fainted. The Bai family's history books were false. What truth was hidden? The Zhou family...wasn't targeted for spying on the power of the God of Desolation!
