Chapter 459 Let’s get started!

Zhou Zhiruo rushed over like lightning, Xiao Feng hurriedly stepped forward to stop her, Xin Zhen smiled and said: "Brother Xiao, this is an old friend of mine, there is no need to stop her."

Xiao Feng retreated upon hearing this, but Zhou Zhiruo's speed became slower and slower, because she found that Xin Zhen was getting smaller and smaller. She then realized her abnormality: "I... am a dragon?"

She looked at Xin Zhen in panic and asked, "Brother Zhen, what's going on?"

Xin Zhen saw Zhou Zhiruo stopped, so he hurried over to her, reached out and gently stroked her dragon face, saying, "This is not the original world. We are all reborn. This is a new world. You can see that I have changed my appearance. You were reborn in the body of a dragon, but it doesn't matter. You practice this chapter on strengthening your muscles and bones, and you will be able to return to your original appearance in a while."

Xin Zhen touched Zhou Zhiruo's forehead and passed the Yi Jin Duan Gu Chapter to her. Zhou Zhiruo looked at herself and then dived into Taihu Lake. When she reappeared, she was already the charming Zhou Zhiruo of her youth. Xiao Feng had already avoided her. Xin Zhen took off his robe and gave it to Zhou Zhiruo. Zhou Zhiruo hugged Xin Zhen tightly for a long time and was unwilling to let go.

Xin Zhen hugged Zhou Zhiruo and told her the whole story. Zhou Zhiruo looked a little strange and said, "So, Brother Zhen, not only do you have a fiancée in this world now, but you also have a wife, Ren Yingying, who married me before me?"

Xin Zhen was a little embarrassed. He was a very loyal person. Even when he was emperor, he never had many concubines in his harem. He was basically faithful to one person from beginning to end. He didn't expect that this rebirth would turn him into a scumbag.

Seeing Xin Zhen's embarrassment, Zhou Zhiruo smiled and said, "Brother Zhen, I am already very happy to be reborn and live with you for another lifetime. I think Sister Ren Yingying also thinks so. Don't take it to heart."

Xin Zhen sighed lightly, nodded and said, "It's hard for you."

In fact, we all know in our hearts that it is unwise to worry about these things after experiencing life and death. We are all smart people and are not so stupid as to take it to this extent.

Xin Zhen quietly brought Zhou Zhiruo back to Lingshan and introduced her to Ren Yingying and others. Fan Jie quietly took Xin Zhen to a deserted place and asked, "Zhen'er, although I don't mind you taking a concubine, you bring a woman back from time to time. It's really disrespectful to my daughter, isn't it? Look at how many people you have in your room now, Feng Sanniang, Ren Yingying, and now Zhou Zhiruo. Will there be more in the future?"

Xin Zhen suddenly thought of Cheng Ying and Xiao Longnu. Fan Jie took a look and thought, this is unacceptable. It looks like they have to take them back!
Xin Zhen quickly told Fan Jie the origins of Ren Yingying, Xiao Feng and Zhou Zhiruo. Fan Jie was a little skeptical, so Xin Zhen told him about the Musashi on him, and Fan Jie finally believed it.

After all, he had never seen the Musashi Fanjie on Xin Zhen's body, and Xiao Feng's origin and martial arts seemed to be consistent with what Xin Zhen said.

If that was the case, Fan Jie really had no idea what to say.

Fan Jie sighed and said, "Forget it, you have to treat my daughter well, otherwise I will never forgive you!"

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "Don't worry, father-in-law. I have been faithful to one person for the past several lives and never had any affairs with other women. It was only because of this incident in this life that this happened. But I will not neglect Eleventh Lady because of this."

Both of them were men, so they didn't talk about it anymore. Instead, Fan Jie became interested in Xin Zhen's reincarnations and raised a question, "You said that the world you lived in before was a so-called martial arts world, without ghosts and gods, and the most powerful were just some top martial arts masters. But I have a question, that is, why did your martial arts become top-notch skills in this world? Isn't this strange?"

Xin Zhen nodded and said, "I have thought about this question before, and there are several possibilities.

One is that the spiritual environment is different. The martial arts in the martial arts world are actually not bad, but because the spiritual energy is scarce, their level is not high. In this world, the spiritual energy is abundant, so the true power of these martial arts can be brought into play.

The other is actually based on this conjecture, that is, these classics actually spread from this world to the martial arts world, such as the demon clan's holy book, the dragon clan's skills, etc., I don't know how they spread over, but because of the spiritual energy, their power is reduced. "

Fan Jie nodded and said, "Since it is the same thing, it is definitely not a coincidence. It is either from the martial arts world, or from this world, or..."

Fan Jie's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "...In fact, they are all the same world, but because the spiritual energy content is different, the worlds are also very different?
We imagine spiritual energy as the tide. It comes from the unknown world, that is, the ocean, and our world is the beach. When there is no tide, there are only some drought-resistant creatures on the beach, such as humans and wild beasts, but once the tide comes, it also brings fish, shrimps, crabs in the ocean, and these ghosts, gods, monsters and the like.

Therefore, in different eras, when there is spiritual energy, immortals, gods and Buddhas will appear in the world. Once the spiritual energy tide recedes, those immortals, gods and Buddhas will return to the ocean together, because those who are left behind will also die without spiritual energy.

Therefore, even in the era of martial arts, the legends of immortals, gods and Buddhas still existed, but the immortals, gods and Buddhas were nowhere to be seen, and those skills that were originally sacred texts could only become martial arts secrets due to the lack of spiritual energy. "

When Fan Jie came up with this theory of spiritual energy tides, Xin Zhen's eyes lit up. This theory seemed to be closer to reality and seemed to make more sense.

But then Xin Zhen frowned again and said, "Then why can I be reborn several times? What does this mean?"

Fan Jie also frowned and said, "Is it possible that everyone will reincarnate, but some people's souls can go through reincarnation for a long time without losing their true spirit, and you are one of those people whose true spirit is not lost, so you feel like you are always being reborn?"

"Huh?" Xin Zhen was stunned. This statement sounded very reasonable!

But there is still one question that has not been explained clearly, that is, why were Xiao Feng and others reborn in the bodies of monsters because of the Life and Death Talisman and still retained the memories of their previous lives?
Fan Jie also thought of this question, frowned and thought for a while, "Could it be that this life and death talisman is some kind of magical soul summoning method of the six reincarnations? As long as you use the life and death talisman, you can seduce the souls of people you once knew from hell?"

Grass.

It seems to make sense again!

According to Fan Jie's deduction, he had actually always been in the same world, but because of the tide of spiritual energy, his martial arts skills were different. He was the lucky one whose true spirit was not ignorant, so he had the illusion of being reborn continuously. In fact, he was just reincarnated like other people. However, this life and death talisman had the ability to attract souls...

Very reasonable.

So, there is no such thing as a backstage pusher? No!

Xin Zhen suddenly remembered that both Ren Yingying and Xiao Feng said that there was a voice speaking to them from nowhere. Whose voice was that?
Moreover, every time I am reborn, as long as I want to live a peaceful life, there will always be various accidents that drag me into the struggles in the martial arts world. It can't be explained by just a coincidence, right?
Xin Zhen had a hunch in his heart. He seemed to be able to sense that there was a big evil force in the dark pushing all this, but he didn't know what its purpose was.

However, Xin Zhen quickly put these things aside. The most important thing was to develop his own strength. Only by developing his strength could he have the capital to cope with various changes.

Zhou Zhiruo's arrival can only be regarded as an episode, but it is not a small impact either, because Zhou Zhiruo joined in the construction of the Huashan Sect.

In The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, it was Ren Yingying who was responsible for the expansion of the sect, while in the world of The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber, it was Zhou Zhiruo who almost took care of everything. Now that Zhou Zhiruo has come to Lingshan, she naturally cannot let Ren Yingying have all the credit. She has understood the current situation only two days after her arrival.

Ren Yingying has joined forces with Pu Shu to recruit disciples. If Ren Yingying is allowed to continue like this, all the disciples recruited will be Ren Yingying's direct descendants, and she will have no place to stand.

Zhou Zhiruo is indeed a very smart person. She immediately realized that she must win over allies. She set her sights on Fan Shiyi Niang, who had been living outside the Huashan Sect system. Although Fan Shiyi Niang was young and inexperienced in the ways of the world, she was Xin Zhen's legal fiancée here. Moreover, Fan Jie was her father, and with the support of the Fan family, Fan Shiyi Niang should definitely have a place.

With her mother by her side, Fan Shiyi Niang also realized that the current situation in the backyard was rather complicated. Although she was Xin Zhen's legal fiancée, Ren Yingying and Zhou Zhiruo were also Xin Zhen's previous legal wives, and they had been together for decades, almost a hundred years. The depth of their feelings was beyond her reach, so her position was not stable.

Her father is now the person with the most say under Xin Zhen, but her father will eventually grow old, and no one can predict what will happen in the future.

Therefore, Fan Shiyi Niang immediately accepted Zhou Zhiruo's kindness and immediately participated in the recruitment of Xin's disciples with Zhou Zhiruo.

This idea was proposed by Zhou Zhiruo. Zhou Zhiruo believed that since the Xin family had sacrificed their entire family to sponsor Huashan Sect, Huashan Sect must be grateful for this favor. Moreover, a large number of Xin family members would enter Huashan Sect and control the future economic resources of Huashan Sect, which meant that the Xin family would become a force that Huashan Sect could not ignore.

Xin Zhen had been an emperor, so he naturally saw the trick here and laughed a little. Was this the imperial family and the descendants of the royal family joining forces to fight against the civil servants who entered the country through the imperial examination?

However, Xin Zhen did not stop it. As the saying goes, there are all kinds of factions in the party. As long as there are people, there will be gangs. This is inevitable, and Xin Zhen is happy to see it happen.

After all, power needs to be balanced. Unbalanced power will eventually be destroyed.

There is no confrontation between Ren Yingying and Zhou Zhiruo now, but there will be confrontations between other factions in the future. As the head of the Huashan Sect, what he needs to do is to control the differences and conflicts between the two factions and form a healthy competition, which is also a good thing for the Huashan Sect.

There was also another idea that Xin Zhen had in his mind, which was that although the Xin family was now extremely enthusiastic and willing to only allow young people to enter the Huashan Sect, with the elders basically staying at the foot of the mountain, once the young people gained control of the Huashan Sect, the Xin family members would naturally think of controlling the direction of the Huashan Sect.

So, as long as you control yourself properly, it is a good thing.

Xin Zhen used a trick to divert trouble to resolve the feud with the dragon clan. The development of Huashan Sect was basically unhindered, and many things in Lingshan started to move on a large scale.

First, the four friends of Meizhuang presided over the enclosure of land. They bought up all the land around Lingshan. Farmers who were willing to become tenants of the Huashan Sect could stay. If they were not willing, the land would be purchased at twice the reasonable price. Houses and the like could be sold at a discount so that these people would not lose their ability to make a living because their land was purchased and their houses were abandoned.

Fortunately, most people were quite willing to do so. They sold their land to Huashan Sect and joined the sect as tenant farmers. The reason they were willing to do so was because Huashan Sect promised that their children with excellent qualifications would be given priority to join the sect in the future.

Under such incentives, these farmers are naturally very willing to do so. Who would not want to earn a chance to become an immortal for future generations?

As for the fields owned by wealthy landlords, they would certainly not become tenant farmers, but they were also willing to give up these lands to earn a chance to become immortals for their descendants.

Therefore, the enclosure activity went very smoothly, and Xin Zhen only paid a little attention to it.

Xin Zhen's focus is still on the Xin family's contribution and Ren Yingying's recruitment of disciples.

The Xin family allocated half of the industries suitable for Huashan Sect to run, and selected outstanding young people to bring them into the Huashan Sect. These industries were mainly concentrated in businesses such as hotels, shipping, and escort services.

These are temporarily managed by Xin's disciples, but other disciples will definitely be involved in the future. After all, the lifeblood of the Huashan Sect cannot be controlled by the Xin family alone.

Xin Zhen let Fan Shiyi Niang and Zhou Zhiruo take charge of the general direction of this part of the industry.

Xin Zhen was not worried that Zhou Zhiruo would not be able to control the situation. Zhou Zhiruo was a very capable person, and her original body was Ao Sheng, a master of the dragon clan. If she released a little dragon power, the Xin family members would not dare to resist her. Zhou Zhiruo took over these industries smoothly and impressed the Xin family members.

Xin Zhen was very happy about Zhou Zhiruo's arrival. Not to mention the relationship between husband and wife, he was naturally extremely delighted. Zhou Zhiruo's arrival also helped Xin Zhen a lot.

The Xin family is indeed a big family. They have sent more than a hundred young people aged between eight or nine and twenty to the Huashan Sect. Most of them are very smart young people. The Xin family is a family that passes down poetry and literature. The children in the family basically study to prepare for the imperial examinations. Now that the Hua Dynasty is gone and they have better prospects, they are naturally sent to the Huashan Sect.

Although it is not absolute, smart people who have received education will not be much different in their cultivation. Some have good aptitudes and some have bad, but basically they can all be considered talented.
