Chapter 654: Establishing an Alliance
The entire celebration lasted a whole day. |^Qiu Yunzhi was granted the position of the temple master by the head of the family Qiu Jiu, and moved into the temple to worship the ancestors who founded the clan.
When Qiu Yunzhi summoned the goddess of autumn and showed the light of autumn sky, the whole ceremony reached a climax. People shouted long live and shed tears with excitement.
Feeling the passion of the members of this big family, Shen Zheng couldn't help but be touched.
He thought to himself: One day, the legendary secret realm will be so lively and will be as talented as these big families!
The whole ceremony lasted a day and a night before it was not completed. Qiu Yunzhi was excited and a little tired, but overall, she was relieved. Her immediate family members were no longer there, and there was only one Qiu Kong, who was not her real grandfather. According to Qiu Jiu, Qiu Yunzhi's immediate family members also died for the clan in the First World War, and they were a family of heroes. [
Shen Zheng didn't think so. What family of heroes? If they were really regarded as heroes, would Qiu Yunzhi run away from home because she didn't want to endure the cold stares?
He couldn't help but sigh: politics is like this, without human touch, but they have to pretend to be human touch, which makes people sick.
There must be no such thing in my homeland.
He made up his mind.
"What happened to Wen Ji and the others?" After calming down, Qiu Jiu sat in a large house inside the temple with Shen Zheng, Qiu Yunzhi, and Qiu Qiukong. Qiu Jiu frowned slightly and asked about this matter.
"Generally speaking, it is like this." Shen Zheng told all his experiences. "Now it can be concluded that Qiu Wen Ji was afraid that Yunzhi would come back and take away his position, so he killed him. As for whether he colluded with outsiders, it depends on whether the head of the Qiu family can find out where those hundreds of Star Sea Kings came from."
"I checked it." Qiu Qiukong said, "Because of the celebration, all unnecessary external missions in the clan were terminated. It is impossible for hundreds of Star Sea Kings to wander outside. Those people must be outsiders. But the situation at that time could not find out which force those people came from."
"Qiu Lei will not escape back." Qiu Yunzhi said. "Because he is guilty, he knows that he will die if the matter is exposed. This can also prove that he colluded with outsiders. Otherwise, he would not die just for the crime of intending to assassinate me, and he would not be afraid to return."
"I have controlled Qiu Jianling." Qiu Jiukong said. "Does the head of the family want to interrogate her in person?"
"Bring her up." Qiu Jiu nodded with a gloomy face.
Qiu Jiukong immediately sent out thoughts to contact his subordinates, and soon after, Qiu Jianling was escorted up by six kings of the sea of stars. _!~;As soon as she entered the house, she immediately cried to Qiu Jiu: "Grandpa, head of the family, you have to make the decision for me! This damn Qiu Jiukong, relying on Qiu Yunzhi to become the head of the hall, he got the power and came to bully me, and dared to..."
"Shut up." Qiu Jiu's voice was cold, with a kind of awe-inspiring power, which frightened Qiu Jianling so much that his tears almost pulled back into his eyes.
"I ask you, where is your father now?" Qiu Jiu spoke coldly, his eyes like swords, piercing Qiu Jianling faintly feeling pain.
"My father? Escape?" She stared at Qiu Jiu blankly, with a look of bewilderment on her face.
"She doesn't seem to know." Qiu Yunzhi said.
"Your grandfather and your father conspired with outsiders to harm the head of the Yunzhi Palace." Qiu Jiu's tone was still cold, making those who heard it feel like falling into an icy abyss. "Now that they have failed, they have also killed more than a hundred loyal warriors of our clan. Your grandfather is dead, and your father has fled to an unknown place. Qiu Jianling, if you can honestly confess everything you know, you may not be punished, otherwise..."
"What?" Qiu Jianling was stunned, "My grandfather... he died? No, this is impossible! It must be Qiu Yunzhi who framed them!"
"Shut up!" Qiu Tiankong shouted, "You can call the name of the head of the palace? Are you tired of living?"
Qiu Jianling shuddered and suddenly realized that his situation was over. Now, Qiu Yunzhi has become the head of the palace, a respected figure second only to the head of the family, and what about himself? The grandfather she relied on was dead, and her father was missing. She was now almost nothing. [
She looked up at Qiu Jiu, thinking that the head of the family would not treat her so mercilessly. After all, her grandfather was his younger brother. She had a look of help in her eyes, but all she got was Qiu Jiu's cold eyes.
"Don't try to get forgiveness from me." Qiu Jiu said coldly, "From the moment I became the head of the family, I am no longer myself. I am no longer your grandfather's brother, and you are no longer your father's uncle. I am just a position, a symbol that will lead the whole family to glory and will not decline. Symbols have no emotions. Qiu Jianling, be honest, this is your only way to survive."
Qiu Jianling completely collapsed, she fell to the ground, almost collapsed into a pile.
"Report to the head of the family..." Her voice trembled, full of fear. "I really don't know anything. Otherwise, when I saw the Lord of the Palace returned safely, I would have definitely found a way to escape. My grandfather and father never discussed the matter with me..."
"Master, I have also sent people to control Qiu Wenji's wife and Qiu Lei's wife." Qiu Qiukong said. "Do you want to interrogate them?"
"Bring them up." Qiu Jiu's voice was cold. Qiu Jianling finally couldn't bear it anymore and passed out.
When she woke up again, she found that it was the crying of her mother and grandmother who woke her up. They swore to the master of the family at the top of their lungs that they had no knowledge of it beforehand.
"Take them down." Qiu Jiu said slowly, "Elder Tiankong, go handle this matter yourself." At the same time, his thoughts flowed over and told Qiujiu: "Take good care of them, but don't leave too many traces. Maybe. Qiurei will come back to rescue them, and then he can be taken down."
"Understood." Qiu Qiu bowed and led the three women down.
Qiu Jianling's eyes were full of despair. She knew that even if she escaped death this time, she would never have the same glory as before. From now on, she will live as the daughter of a traitor and will have to bear the contempt of the entire clan.
At this moment, she suddenly began to hate her grandfather and father.
"I will pursue this matter." Qiu Jiu turned to Shen Zheng, "Please rest assured, Mr. Shen. As a traitor, Qiu Lei, I will never let him go, otherwise I will not be able to control other people in the clan in the future."
"That's good." Shen Zheng nodded slowly.
"Master, I have a request." Qiu Yunzhi suddenly spoke, looking a little uneasy.
"What's the request?" Qiu Jiu smiled, "Yunzhi, you are now the master in charge of the palace second only to me. If you have anything to say, just say it to me directly. Why, you still can't adapt to your new identity for a while? "
"It's indeed a request." Qiu Yunzhi smiled sheepishly. "I...I think this way. Qiu Wenji has been in charge of the palace for so long, and there is no guarantee that the people below him will not have his cronies. In fact, I am not safe in the clan. Why don't I go to Shen Zheng's side first, and I can communicate with the Holy Spirit first? If the clan is closer, it will be easier for them to support us when something happens in the future; secondly, we can avoid being harmed by Qiu Wenji's side again. "
"No problem at all." Qiu Jiu nodded.
"You agreed?" Qiu Yunzhi was a little surprised.
"What, are you surprised?" Qiu Jiu smiled, looked at Shen Zheng, and said slowly: "Mr. Shen, I can see that you are a smart man, so I won't tell you those lies. I intend to talk to you. There are three reasons for making friends with the Light of Autumn Sky and the Legend Secret Realm. First, Yunzhi is very close to you. She is your friend, and her family is naturally your friend. One more friend means more. First, I am willing to make friends like you; second, you have great power, maybe you don’t feel it yourself, but I can feel your potential, and out of family interests, I am willing to make friends; third, You have the five great Holy Spirits, which is a unique honor, and I really want to take advantage of it. What do you think?"
"Okay." Shen Zheng nodded slowly, "Having a partner like Qiukongzhiguang is naturally a good thing. And my relationship with Yunzhi is not ordinary. We can be regarded as friends. Besides, the head of the family is right. This is straightforward, but it suits my temper. But I have to make it clear first that I joined the Shenzhou Family of the Holy Sea and was one of them, but the Qiu family leader established an alliance with me. It is equivalent to establishing an alliance with them. If you have any hatred towards them, then forget about the alliance. "
"I've heard about the name of Holy Sea and Shenzhou for a long time, but I haven't had the chance to communicate. Now it's a good thing that I can get to know them through you. Then let's establish the connection before the secret realm." Qiu Jiu's eyes flashed with excitement. "How about if one party is in trouble in the future, both parties can advance and retreat together and help each other?"
"It's a deal!" Shen Zheng nodded. [
He agreed to Qiu Jiu's proposal, firstly because Qiukongzhiguang was indeed Qiuyunzhi's home, and based on his relationship with her, he would naturally help if her family had something to do. Secondly, because it was said that the forces in the secret realm had just started, and they really needed help. A strong partner.
The third point, which was also the reason why he was willing to let Qiu Yunzhi become the head of the palace, and even form an alliance with Qiukong Zhiguang, was that he discovered that Qiu Jiu was a real person.
One cannot use the word integrity to describe him, but he is definitely not associated with sinister despicableness. He is a competent family head, a person who knows how to take responsibility for the interests of the family. As he said, as soon as he became the head of the family, he became a symbol. His affection and coldness are all because he is just a symbol, and all because he has to consider the entire family.
Although such a person cannot reach the level of Shen Zheng's admiration, at least he admires him. He is also willing to deal with such people.
"Okay!" Qiu Jiu stood up, "In this way, we will establish a fast passage between the two secret realms. If one party is in trouble in the future, the other party can immediately provide support. People on both sides can also move around each other to increase the number of people. There is understanding and mutual exchange.”
"Please." Shen Zheng smiled.
The three of them stood up and headed towards the depths of the temple. Come to a secret lobby inside the temple.
Qiu Jiu first activated the power of space and established a hyperspace in the lobby that was eternally stable but not directly connected to any space. After the three of them entered it, he built a turbulent flow channel in the hyperspace.
With the other party's permission, Shen Zheng recorded all the information about this passage with his mind. When he returns to Earth, he can quickly connect the two secret realms by establishing another passage in the secret realm.
The two looked at each other and smiled, stretched out their hands in unison, and held each other tightly.
