Chapter 256: The End of Life
With the large-scale riot of birds and beasts, it was difficult for the humans who were quite weak in the sky realm to deal with the hordes of birds and beasts, and most of the noble territories in the Star Bamboo Empire were unable to protect themselves, and the aristocratic alliance on the front line of the land of the hundred kingdoms had cut off the way back.
However, under the leadership of Raymond, the noble alliance has already defeated the alliance army in the land of the hundred countries, although it will take some time before the land of the hundred countries is completely occupied...... But those big and small countries in the Land of a Hundred Nations have no chance of turning around.
While the Star Bamboo Empire was in the most chaotic and weakened period, the Cloud Mist Empire in the east was slow to act.
This made Mu Yuan, who had always been worried about the eastern border, a little relieved, but he also knew that there were no big moves on the surface of the Cloud Mist Empire now, but there were constant small moves behind the scenes.
The Cloud Empire is constantly gathering its forces to the Erlan Fortress, and many masters from the Cloud Empire have entered the Star Bamboo Empire, trying every means to find out how much strength the Star Bamboo Empire has left.
Although the Xingzhu Empire has been weakening in recent years, it is after all a country of origin, and the profound heritage of the empire is the greatest guarantee.
But as long as the Cloud Empire roughly figured out the approximate remaining strength of the Star Bamboo Empire, war was still inevitable.
In the face of internal and external troubles, the entire empire seems to be like a crumbling carriage on the edge of a cliff.
However, what many people don't understand is that the emperor still insisted on putting most of his energy into reform.
Coupled with the public opinion rumors set off by the nobles, [faint king], [ignoring the government]...... And so on, for a while, there was constant scolding all over the country.
However, the birth of the Starry Sky Sword God and the Star God greatly shocked the nobles who wanted to make trouble.
Wan's Mansion.
Ancestral Hall.
For an aristocratic family, the ancestral hall is the most important place in the clan, where the ancestors of the family are enshrined, and each spiritual seat is the protagonist of an adventure story circulated by the outside world.
After death, the spiritual position can be placed in the ancestral ancestral hall, which is the greatest wish of every nobleman.
Today, Wan's ancestral hall is more solemn than ever - in the past, only servants maintained the basic incense.
There are not many people gathered here, only about a dozen people, except for Wan Zuiyan and Hua Wuwu, everyone else is over half a hundred years old, and they are the mainstay of Wan's today.
Some are extremely powerful professionals, and some are elders who are in charge of managing the affairs of the clan.
The patriarch of the Wan clan coughed violently, red blood overflowed from the corners of his mouth, and Hua Wuwu hurriedly wanted to go over to help the old man, but the old patriarch waved his hand, indicating that he was fine.
"You should be aware of the fact that I called you here. "The old patriarch has a very bad complexion.
A gloomy look appeared on everyone's faces.
There is not much left of the old patriarch's longevity - in fact, the old man was already unable to hold on four years ago, but with the rich background of the Wan clan, it has been delayed for so long with various elixirs.
But no matter how much the anti-heaven medicine is useless, the old man is already about to reach the limit.
For professionals, aging and death are also necessary things, even if they have a physique far beyond ordinary people...... But it still can't help the natural law of birth, old age, sickness and death.
And the biggest difference between professionals and ordinary people is that until they die of old age, their bodies will not be weakened, until the moment when Shouyuan is exhausted, the failure of organs, meridians, and even the soul causes an avalanche-like reaction.
And the old patriarch is dying, and the biggest question for others is who the new patriarch is.
"Don't say any sad words, I declare that Wan Zuiyan will inherit the position of patriarch, and the House of Elders will fully cooperate with Zuiyan to manage the family. ”
No one was surprised by this result, after all, the entire Wan clan also had Wan Zuiyan's cultivation talent and the best temperament, and now here, among the younger generation, the old patriarch also called Wan Zuiyan over.
"Yes. The Great Elder bowed his head and took orders.
Hua Wuwu's face was a little complicated, it wasn't that he peeked at the position of this patriarch - he felt that Wan Zuiyan's current state of mind was a little distorted, of course, if he was the patriarch, Wan Zuiyan's current state might be the best.
Unscrupulous means to achieve interests, use everything that can be used, know how to tend to the flames, and know how to wear a false mask, which is a necessary ability of a noble family patriarch.
But Hua Wuwu didn't want such a Wan drunken Yan to become the patriarch of the Wan clan.
"At present, the basic phalanx of the Wan clan is still mainly to assist the royal family, if you have doubts, I have left a letter in your room, you can go back and see for yourself. ”
"Yes. Wan Zuiyan replied solemnly.
The old patriarch glanced at Wan Zuiyan deeply, and smiled again before Wan Zuiyan was puzzled.
"Okay, that's all for the explanation, you all go, by the way, don't worry about you staying. The old patriarch waved his hand.
Everyone was stunned, and even Hua Wuwu was puzzled.
They knew that the old man was going to usher in the last of this life in this ancestral ancestral hall, but ......
It stands to reason that whether it is the relationship between Wan Zuiyan and the grandson of the old patriarch, or whether Wan Zuiyan is the next patriarch...... At this time, the people who stayed to accompany the old man should be drunk, but the old man left a worry-free flower. An outsider who is not related by any blood.
"Look at what to see. The old patriarch's face sank, "I'm not dead yet, my words are still orders." ”
"Yes. A cold gaze flashed in Wan Zuiyan's eyes.
Several people left one after another, and the entire hall seemed extremely deserted.
After waiting for a while, the old man looked at Hua Wuwu with a blank face.
"What, you don't want to accompany the old man on my last journey?"
Hua Wuwu's nose was sore, and she almost couldn't hold back her tears.
"Look at you, such a big person, and your emotions are still so fragile. The old man reluctantly stepped forward and gently hugged Hua Wuwu, who was taller than him.
“......”
The old man's arm had begun to grow old and shrunk, but this powerless hug made Hua Wuwu think a lot.
Just like when he first met the old patriarch when he was a child, Hua Wuwu was an orphan with nothing, and his only grandfather was also killed on the northern border.
It was so desperate that it seemed as if the whole world had abandoned him, until the old man appeared.
"You are Hua Yunhai's grandson? I am his comrade-in-arms, and that guy has saved me many times on the battlefield...... And in order to repay the favor, do you want to come to my house?"
In this way, the young Hua Wuwu followed the old patriarch to the Wan family, became friends with Wan Zuiyan, who was of the same age, and slowly had a complete childhood.
"I'm going to have my life over...... Now that I think about it, I'm not a good person, so don't be sad if I'm dead. ”
"In fact, in my heart, I have always regarded you as my own grandson, you are the same as Drunken Yan, I have watched you grow up, become adults, and become talents. ”
"You should have felt it, since Wan Shuang's death, the mentality of drunken words has changed a lot...... Although others are very optimistic about his current mentality...... But his path was crooked. Those of us who play with power can't have mercy, and we can only be hypocrites, but drunken saying that he is too extreme, so it is easy to lead the Wan clan into a place of no return. The old man gushed endlessly.
Hua Wuwu was silent and did not say a word.
"So I need you to help him, Zui Yan and Wan Shi, please leave it to you. The old man suddenly bowed violently, making Hua Wuwu completely stupid.
"You're the only one who can influence and change the worldview of Drunken Talk......"
"......" Hua Wuwu was stunned for a while, and finally made up her mind and nodded.
"I'll be good here. ”
