Chapter XXIV
Xu Mu's face was stunned, and it took a while to react, he hurriedly got up and said respectfully, "Master Lu has a good memory, counting this year, it is exactly fifty years. ”
Lu Yangfeng sat in the air, and he said lightly: "Fifty years, how many heavenly tribulations have you had?"
Xu Mu's face was a little embarrassed, but he still replied: "I'm ashamed, I just passed the seventh heavenly tribulation last year. ”
Lu Yangfeng said leisurely: "Who swore to me that the next time you come out of retreat, you will definitely survive the peak of the Ninefold Tribulation and successfully ascend to the Immortal Realm?"
Xu Mu wanted to say, didn't I get out of the customs yet, you broke in by yourself, what does it matter to me?
However, he himself knew that the Eightfold Tribulation was still far away, and even after a hundred years, he might not be able to reach the Ninefold Tribulation Realm.
"Okay, I won't talk to you anymore, Cangzhou has not been peaceful recently, and you should come out to take care of things. ”
"Cangzhou is not peaceful, and it is not a big deal for Shizu. ”
Xu Mu didn't care, in the past countless years, a fixed situation has been formed in the consciousness of many people, that is, as long as Lu Yangfeng is still alive, even if there is a big disaster, there is no need to be nervous, he is the patron saint of Cangzhou and even the entire Eastern Continent.
Probably because of Xiao Huang's influence on his emotions, Lu Yangfeng's tone was much colder, "Can you not keep putting the responsibility on my head, I am not the Emperor of the Four Directions, and I have no obligation to care about anyone's life or death, why do you all think that I should protect the human race now?"
"This ...... Master, I ...... I don't mean that......"
Xu Mu was shocked, he was also an old monster who had lived for more than two hundred years, and he immediately understood that Lu Yangfeng's purpose for coming here was probably related to what he said.
Xu Mu asked tentatively, "Senior Ancestor, could it be that the Ten Thousand Swords Sect is causing you trouble?"
Lu Yangfeng regained his composure, and he said lightly: "It's not just the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, although it was Wang Wenhu who provoked it, but back to the essence of the problem, the whole human race has now become a race that does not want to make progress, so I plan to let it go." ”
Xu Mu was slightly startled and said, "Master, what do you mean...... I won't care about the affairs of the human race in the future?"
Lu Yangfeng said: "It can be understood in this way, there are not many old guys of the same level as you in the human race now, although there are a few scattered immortals alive, but compared to other races in this world, the human race is a weak group after all, and what is more afraid is that this group no longer has any sense of danger, and relies on the older generation for everything, which is a sign of destruction." ”
Xu Mu was slightly silent, Lu Yangfeng's words were not groundless.
Born in sorrow and died in peace, these eight words seem simple, but they tell the most essential truth about the demise of many dynasties, and now the human race is really already walking this road?
"And what exactly are you going to do?"
"The attack of the demons is coming, I will not interfere in the war between the two races again, only some unrivaled powers I will take care of, and the rest depends on the human race itself. ”
Lu Yangfeng said sonorously and powerfully, and Xu Mu also heard his determination from this tone.
"What about me, what are you going me to do?" asked Xu Mu.
"I'm going to let you and some old guys from other sects set up a human race alliance, this alliance should develop a set of reward mechanisms and punishment mechanisms, big contributors and talented people should be rewarded without hesitation, betrayers should be punished without hesitation, and those who do not want to make progress should also be punished......"
Lu Yangfeng explained his thoughts in detail, and Xu Mu kept nodding.
Unlike Xu Jian, the head of the sect, Xu Mu sincerely regarded Lu Yangfeng as a senior, just like Zhao Shuai's worship of Lu Yangfeng.
Even if someone really sows discord, they will definitely not be able to destroy Lu Yangfeng's impression in their hearts, which is also the main reason why Lu Yangfeng dares to come to him.
After talking for a long time, Xu Mu spoke, "That's ...... As for the alliance leader, this alliance leader should be ...... by you."
Before he finished speaking, Lu Yangfeng had already interrupted him and said, "I won't be the leader of this alliance, and these sects will not agree at all, the alliance leader should be chosen among you old guys." ”
Xu Mu's eyes were a little solemn and said: "But no one knows if any of us has betrayed the human race, in case a demon spy becomes the leader of the alliance, the consequences will ......."
"Of course, this will require some effort on your part, in fact, in my heart, you are the most suitable to be the leader of this alliance. Lu Yangfeng said lightly.
"The master has praised me falsely, and I am just a monk who has no intention of being in power. He paused, then continued, "And if I have been ascending in two days, wouldn't it be ......?"
"Fuck off, it took only 50 years to survive two catastrophes, and it will make you soar in two days, dreaming. ”
Lu Yangfeng mercilessly poured a basin of cold water on his head, and Xu Mu was not angry, but just raised his head and let out a loud laugh.
"Okay, let's not talk to you about it, let's implement it as soon as possible, no one knows when the demons will go to war, maybe tomorrow. ”
Lu Yangfeng waved his hand, turned around and disappeared into Xu Mu's gaze.
Leaving his eyes still full of admiration, immortality is also something he has always dreamed of, but this dream is so unattainable for him......
Nothing was said all night.
The next morning, Lu Yangfeng was eating a hearty breakfast, when he suddenly felt several fierce breaths stepping into the door of the Zhao family from the outside in.
More than a dozen people were mighty, and they did not hide their breath at all, and they were about to be overwhelmed as soon as they entered the house, which showed that these people were not good.
Lu Yangfeng is still eating breakfast, although he doesn't have to eat at all, but his daily life is basically no different from that of a normal person.
He knew that he couldn't talk about normality after living for thousands of years, but he still tried to be a normal person, and normal people had to eat,, and pee......
So he's doing the same thing every day.
Moreover......
The feeling of food entering the mouth and passing through the taste buds is indeed one of life's great pleasures.
Sometimes there are things that we can't change, so it's better to accept it......
"Do what you want to do, your destiny is always in your own hands. ”
Lu Yangfeng patted Zhao Shuai on the shoulder, the latter nodded firmly, and then he, Zhao Huaiwei and a few other family members walked towards the hall.
Ding Ziyao is now wrapped in a light veil, if it was the original her, she might definitely be curious to follow Zhao Shuai out.
But now she is just sitting quietly next to Lu Yangfeng, compared to the previous liveliness, she seems quiet now, and the quiet is a little scary.
Lu Yangfeng knew that she still needed some time to get used to, so he didn't bother.
As for the dog, the dog has been playing with Zhao Shuai's sister Zhao Mengling, and even forgot to eat breakfast, Lu Yangfeng strengthened a few seals to temporarily suppress the explosion of breath, so Xiao Huang is not afraid of contact with Zhao Mengling for the time being.
"Aren't you going out to have a look?" Ding Ziyao said softly.
Although she was afraid to even open her mouth now, she still couldn't help but want to remind Lu Yangfeng that Zhao Shuai might not be able to cope with the scene outside.
He had to face not only Xiao Lan'er of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, but also his own family's elder brother and others.
Lu Yangfeng said, "You have to face some things bravely and confidently, only in this way can you really grow up, a person's state of mind is sometimes far more important than cultivation, of course, if these people are really too much, I won't care." ”
Ding Ziyao nodded as if she didn't understand, and then leaned quietly next to Lu Yangfeng again.
And Lu Yangfeng set his eyes on the woman who was a little pale opposite, this woman's appearance was not much different from that of humans, but her ears were like cat ears, although she looked cute, but it was naturally out of place to appear such a person in human territory.
This woman who is incompatible with human beings is Zhao Mengyi, Zhao Huaiwei's wife, who married into the Zhao family, and her surname also follows the Zhao family.
Every time Lu Yangfeng saw Zhao Mengyi's gaze, it became very different, and his calm gaze would become much gentler, and there would even be a hint of memory flashing in it.
He spoke: "If Madame develops in the Great Demon Country, she must have stood at the peak of the Great Demon Country by now, but it's a pity that you ......"
Zhao Mengyi put down the dishes and chopsticks and said softly: "But marrying him, I have never regretted it." ”
Lu Yangfeng nodded and said, "Yes, Zhao Huaiwei is a responsible man." ”
Zhao Mengyi smiled lightly, she couldn't help but be extremely happy to be praised by the strongest people of the human race.
"But ......," Lu Yangfeng paused, and then said, "The Great Demon Kingdom explicitly forbids the marriage between its own demon clan and humans, and your union must be full of difficulties and dangers. ”
Zhao Mengyi's eyes suddenly became gloomy, "Master Lu is really knowledgeable, in fact, the Great Demon Kingdom has not given up looking for my whereabouts until now, I am afraid of ...... I'm afraid that one day ......"
She was afraid that one day the strong man of the Great Demon Kingdom would come and forcibly take her away, so that all her happiness in the future would be completely shattered.
So Zhao Mengyi lives happily every day, but she is also worried every day, she almost spends every day as the last day of her life.
Compared with the human race, the strength of the demon race is much stronger, especially the race known for its strong physique, and the human race of the same level basically has no chance of winning.
Moreover, the Great Demon Country has a vast landscape, and the territory of a Great Demon Country is almost the same size as Cangzhou, so the huge territory has also given birth to countless demon geniuses.
In fact, the demon race is a more terrifying race than the demon race, because for some reason, the great demon who has crossed the ninefold tribulation will not fly to the immortal realm.
Therefore, there are as many land immortals as there are in the territory of the demon clan, but the territory of the demon clan is already large enough, so there is no need for them to invade the territory of other countries.
Of course, this is the reason given by Lu Yangfeng himself.
Seeing Zhao Mengyi's gloom, Lu Yangfeng smiled lightly: "You don't have to worry too much, when the big demon is really found, Zhao Shuai has already become the climate, and the human race is not so weak." ”
"I hope so......" Zhao Mengyi just sighed after all.
Lu Yangfeng is also a fugue of thoughts, thinking back thousands of years ago, his only wife was also from the Great Demon Kingdom, but everything...... After all, it can't withstand the ruthlessness of the years.
They had a son and a daughter.
The daughter was stupid and stupid, and finally ended her life in her infancy.
The son is talented and strong, and before the age of twenty, he has crossed the Nine Heavenly Tribulations and ascended to the immortal realm.
This is the ultimate reason why Lu Yangfeng constantly wants to pursue the immortal world, although many immortals can't live for four thousand years at all, but Lu Yangfeng still has a glimmer of hope.
Maybe his son has broken away from the level of ordinary immortals in the immortal world, and even became the legendary immortal emperor?
The possibility is extremely slim, but some people just won't give up that last shred of hope, and Lu Yangfeng is just such a person.
The atmosphere here is a little heavier, and the atmosphere in the hall is even more solemn......
