Chapter 216: Hope Always Goes With Despair
"Dad, are you going to let that kid mess around like this?" In the council hall of the You family's inner courtyard, You Quanyi said loudly to Old Man You very anxiously. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Half a month ago, Li Liang held a banquet to entertain the three generations of rulers of the You clan under the banner of discussing major matters together, and displayed his new invention "Star Soul Armor" at the banquet, which theoretically solved the technical problem of "800 against 30,000". Subsequently, he displayed his "powerful" deceptive ability, advocated the strategy of the art of war with 36 strategies, and in one fell swoop grabbed all the military and political power of the "Yue Wolf Castle" in his hands, and began to frantically prepare for the engagement ceremony.
However, the three You brothers who came on the other hand suddenly found that they were all overtaken by Li Liang, not only did the military power fall and lose the management authority of the clansmen, but even the materials accumulated by decades of hard work were also squandered by him, which was completely a frame of passing today and no tomorrow, and Li Liang played mystery again after getting their approval, and didn't tell them anything, how could this not make them anxious and panicked?
"Shut up! What is Liang'er going to do, I know in my heart, you don't have to worry about this matter anymore, you can all keep your spirits up and wait for the engagement ceremony in half a month. Old Man You reprimanded with a deep face, and then took a piece of crystal jade pendant from his arms, and was stunned with a heavy heart.
"Dad, do you have something on your mind?" You Quan Xinjiu was by his father's side, and suddenly found that the always cheerful Old Man You was actually dull and silent, so he asked vigilantly.
"Well, it's time to tell you the truth!" Old Man You was silent for a long time before he nodded lightly and said in a somewhat hoarse voice.
"Dad, what's the truth? Nothing will happen again, right?" You Quanyi was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but look at Old Man You in surprise, and asked. Not only him, but You Quanxin, You Quanli and You Hao, who were also in the chamber hall, also turned their eyes on him.
"Hey, this matter has been pressing on my heart for too long, too long, it's time to tell you......" Old Man You sighed, slowly stood up, and then walked to You Hao's side, patted him lightly on the shoulder, and said with a complicated expression.
"Grandpa, you, what's wrong with you?" You Hao was taken aback by Old Man You's actions, it was the first time that Grandpa had spoken to him like this since he was sensible, so he immediately stood up, took his arm, and asked nervously.
"Sit down, sit down, today I will tell you the top secret of our You clan's inheritance, no, it should be the top secret of our Ju clan's inheritance!" Old Man You looked at his good grandson, smiled faintly, and then waved his hand lightly, let the three sons who had also stood up sit down, and slowly spoke.
"My You clan was originally not surnamed You, but a surname, and they were descendants of the Demon Great Tianzun, the creator of this Nightmare Demon Continent. Hundreds of thousands of years ago, a new family rose in the Demon Continent, that is, the current ruler of the Rong clan, they defeated the Ju clan by despicable means, seized the ruling power of the Demon Continent, and then issued a slaughter order, ordering all the clans in the continent to slaughter my Ju clan and the clan. ”
"At that time, my powerful Ju clan was indeed disintegrated and divided by many forces, not only millions of clansmen were slaughtered and hunted down, but also the clans that had in-laws with our clan were also brutally persecuted, and less than one of the people who survived could be said to be miserable! In the years that followed, the remnants of my Ju clan hid in the deep mountains and old forests, on the one hand, they survived, and continued to inherit hatred, and on the other hand, they were looking for opportunities to make a comeback. ”
"Three thousand years ago, there was a heroic figure in my Ju clan, and his name was Jumang. Hehe, Hao'er, you don't have to be too nervous, he is the black slave Jumang that your good brother Li Liang said, originally I wasn't sure about this, but now I am sure of it, because only he can call the armor a Saint Seiya suit, and only he can forge such a terrible armor!"
"Ju Mang's talent is outstanding, and his intelligence is abnormal, it only took 1,500 years to cultivate to the middle stage of the void to a strong cultivation, and he is a rare peerless genius. However, he devoted himself to the revival of the Ju clan, and spent the first half of his life fighting and fighting, until he was defeated by the then patriarch of the Rong clan, Bei Shui, and was forced to flee to the other world. As for the reason, I think you have also heard Li Liang mention it, it is because of that artifact 'Demon King Hammer'. ”
"I don't know how Ju Mang found this artifact, and I don't know what method he used to bring the artifact that originally didn't belong to the Demon Dao into the Demon Dao, but I know that he did use this artifact when he was fighting against Bei Shu, and it also alarmed the rulers of other continents, so after he was defeated, he couldn't gain a foothold in the Demon Dao at all, so he could only abandon his son and daughter and go to the other world. ”
"Three hundred years later, Ju Mang quietly sneaked back to the Demon Dao, and after twists and turns, he finally found his lost children, and settled in this 'Yue Wolf Mountain Range', and the Ju clan formed by him also named the You clan, and since then he has lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests, making a living by hunting. Therefore, my You clan will have the secret technique of the Demon Great Heavenly Venerable, and the art of forging weapons. As for my claim that I picked up the exercises by chance, it is just a pretext to deceive the world. ”
"Ju Mang escaped from the Demon Dao for three hundred years, no one knows where he has been, and no one knows what he has done, but he knows that when he returned to the Demon Dao, he was not only seriously injured, but his cultivation also dropped several realms in a row, if it weren't for the maintenance of several bottles of ancient elixir, I am afraid that he would not have survived the day of reunion with his children. Because of this, in the last days of his life, he did not rekindle the flames of war and fight everywhere, but accompanied his children and grandchildren with peace of mind until his fall. Old Man You told it plainly, but what he said shocked the three You brothers and You Hao enough, and they couldn't help but look solemn, full of surprise and disbelief.
"Grandpa, if it's really like what you said, then why didn't you say it earlier? Besides, after ten years of getting along day and night, you can also see that the righteous brother is an open-minded person, and he will never despise us because our ancestor was his slave, so what do you want to hide this about? It's a big deal that according to the ancestor's will, it is enough to marry the woman of the clan to him, why hide and hide?" You Hao pondered for a while, and really couldn't figure out the mystery, so he asked.
"Because I'm a sinner of the Ju clan!" Old Man You silently closed his eyes, and only after a long time did he open his eyes, looking at You Hao with a painful expression, and said hoarsely.
"That year, I was nineteen years old and she was sixteen years old, and we met in the waterhole in front of Yue Wolf Cave, which is the cave where you met Li Liang. She was playing barefoot in a waterhole in a light green shirt while I was hunting around and stumbled upon her. Hehe, it was this unintentional act that made me remember her smile, every move, and unforgettable face!"
So I hurried back to the stockade and appealed to the elders to marry her. Unexpectedly, when the elders learned about the situation of their clan, they categorically rejected my request, and also issued a clan order that they would never see her again, because she can only be the concubine of your righteous brother, even if she never marries, you have to wait for his appearance!"
"Do you know? The reason why Ju Mang lived in seclusion in this Yue Wolf Mountain was because he was guarding that cave and the person who would go to that cave alone, that is, your righteous brother Li Liang. Not only him, but in this Yuewolf Mountain Range within a radius of thousands of miles, there are dozens of tribes guarding there, and she is the descendant of those guardians. ”
"Hehe, I later learned that these tribes were all migrant workers saved by your righteous brother in his previous life. They were instructed by the masters of the fairy world, went through hardships to come to the Demon Dao, silently guarded around Yue Wolf Mountain, and kept the promise of their ancestors from generation to generation, those who owe their lives, wait with their lives, those who owe love, wait with the love of future generations, simple and cruel, sincere and stupid, hey......"
"Maybe it was because of jealousy, maybe it was because of true feelings, after being rejected by the elders of the clan one after another, I was resentful, and resolutely left the clan to join a large clan force. But what I didn't expect was that the big clan force turned out to be the lackeys of the Rong clan, and after they found out that I had cultivated the Demon Trick Technique, they led the army to slaughter all the clans guarding around Yue Wolf Mountain, a full fifty-three clans, nearly 200,000 people!"
"And I, perhaps my fate, was just as their army was triumphant and ready to destroy me, when suddenly a fire struck me, and in the chaos I escaped and ascended to heaven. However, when I returned to the stockade, all I saw was the old patriarch who had been cramped and shattered, and only one breath remained. He's waiting for me to go back, he's waiting for me to clear my name of treason!"
"There is no accident in this world, only inevitability, and there is only one end of betrayal, and that is to exterminate the clan! The old patriarch's cultivation is very high, so high that I can't even think of it, but it is such a person with advanced cultivation, I would rather be cramped and broken than reveal it when the army comes, but just use secret techniques to lower that heavenly fire, so that I can escape, so that I can return to the village safely, in order to just give me a chance to wash away this great evil!"
"The old patriarch told me this secret, and taught me the authentic 'Demon Baihui Gong', as well as this piece of Xinyi jade pendant, he told me to continue to wait, waiting for the arrival of my benefactor! So, when Li Liang appeared, I paid close attention to him, every bit and every bit, but I couldn't face him at all. I wanted to snatch the concubine of the benefactor, and then defected from the clan, causing a big disaster, not only harming the clansmen, but also harming the more than fifty tribes, how can I be ashamed?" Old Man You became more and more excited, and when he said the end, he couldn't help crying, like a child who had been wronged.
"Hey, let me say what are you doing?" At this time, Li Liang's voice suddenly sounded outside the door. Then, he grabbed Youlan's jade hand, pushed the door in, and looked at Old Man You with a strange expression.
"You, why are you here?" Old Man You was startled, and couldn't help but ask with a shuddering and pointing at Li Liang.
"Hehe, I'm here to deliver pills to my daughter-in-law, but she wants to climb the crack in the door, so I reluctantly crawled with her for a while, the time is not too long, just start with your story. Li Liang gently tugged at Youlan, who was a little embarrassed, smiled faintly, and said casually.
"Benefactor, it's the old slave who is sorry for you!" After a long while, Old Man You shook his spirit, knelt directly on the ground, and said with repentance.
"If you call me like that again, I'll pack up my things and leave immediately, and I won't marry your granddaughter, believe it or not?" Li Liang didn't help him at all, but sat down on the chair he was sitting on just now, pouting and saying. However, the hand holding Yulan never let go.
"Oh, don't, don't, old slave, no, I, I won't call you that, don't go, don't go!" Old Man You had just finished recalling the painful past, he was already a little emotional, his thoughts were confused, and now he was frightened by Li Liangyi, and he was even more at a loss.
"Get up quickly, don't crawl on the ground!What is the surname of that girl you fancied?Who is her ancestor?" Li Liang curled his lips at Youlan, who had fled, and then asked lightly. Just now, You Lan took advantage of Li Liang's shaking his head and smiling bitterly, withdrew his jade hand, and stood obediently by You Hao's side with a red face.
"The surname is Li, and their ancestors' names are very earthy, as if they are called Li Gouzi. Old Man You got up from the ground in a trembling manner and replied very obediently.
But alas, there is no place for them in the world, and it is no wonder that they are so affectionate and righteous, and those who can bring happiness to others deserve respect and keep their promises. When we finish dealing with the matter in front of us, let's go and worship, how about it?" Li Liang said with emotion.
His expression seemed to be very calm, but his heart was already overturned. The kindness and righteousness of the previous life recruited 3,000 migrant workers, which only gave them hope for life, only gave them a short and beautiful life, but in exchange for their commitment for generations, this friendship is too heavy and too bitter.
"Okay, okay, I go to their grave every year, and you can go whenever you want. Old Man You nodded again and again and said respectfully.
"Okay, don't be so restrained, let's still have my nephew play the lantern, let's do it as usual! I have already guessed the secret you said, but it is not so detailed. Your You clan's iron-striking skills are indeed quite superb, because some of them were taught by me to Jumang, I say this, you should understand, right?"
"For more than 300 years, you have been living in remorse, regret, you should not have betrayed the tribe, hate, I think also includes me, the benefactor who eats more and occupies more? You are still my grandfather who pursues women, and I am still the righteous brother of your good grandson, how about it?" Li Liang stood up, looked at Old Man You with a smile, and said calmly.
"This ......" Old Man You hesitated, he never thought that Li Liang would say this.
In addition, there is a sentence I want to tell you, hope is always accompanied by despair, after the 30,000 army of the seven families, we will face 200,000 demon iron horsemen, whether you can avenge those who died, it depends on how you choose. According to reliable sources, the tribe you once took refuge in is now in full swing, and it won't be long before you fight. Li Liang glanced at the people in the room, smiled bitterly twice, and then turned around and left, without explaining anything at all, which made the already shocked people in the room even more shocked.
What is the force that is protecting Li Liang's rebirth again and again, who is guiding Li Liang to get opportunities again and again, is it the old black against the sky, or the luck against the sky? In fact, it is not, but those who have been favored by Li Liang, they have arranged all this, they quietly guard every corner, waiting for repayment, waiting for repayment.
Hope is always accompanied by despair, when people see the coming despair, the hope of life will also quietly follow, just like Li Liang, whenever the final catastrophe cannot be avoided, the hope of new life has been planted in the next reincarnation. And vice versa, I thought I would see hope, but the painful despair was already waiting not far away, and the nineteenth reincarnation that began again still could not escape the arrival of the last desperate moment. If you want to break out of this vicious circle, there is only one way, and that is to fight, and use your own hands to win more hope! As for how to fight, it depends on whether he Li Liang has the ability to uncover the secrets of the gods, demons, fairies and demons. (To be continued.)
