Volume 2 Forging Ahead Chapter 52 Dripping Water into the Sea Rises
When Qingcheng repelled the barbarians, the remaining children of the small family came to the door and told them the bad news, and the Gu family, the lord of Qingcheng, coerced the Mo family and launched a secular war, which was bound to make Tong'an Mansion give an explanation.
It is impossible to say that he has wiped out several major families in Tong'an Mansion in one fell swoop, after all, the strength of the other party is not under his own side, and the people who stayed in Qingcheng could not ignore the retreating barbarians and the opposition within the family.
If you can not fight this time, you will not fight, and you have a plan in your heart.
Zhou Hao and the four of them looked for the street, found a good restaurant, behind which was a row of courtyards, used as inn accommodation, chartered a yard, cleaned well, and enjoyed a lot of signature dishes of Tong'an Mansion, and went back to their rooms to rest, after all, in the mountains and fields for a long time, even if it is a monk, the mental fatigue can not be completely relieved by meditation.
Qingcheng dispatched a secular army, which was completely a surprise attack, coupled with the fact that the control area was very large, and the border of Jutong'an Mansion was only a thousand miles, and there were Jindan monks sitting in the town along the way, and the Zhuji monks joined forces to suppress some small families, so the army was like a bamboo, and it drove straight in. Several families who could not escape were wiped out, and the army slaughtered villages and villages, killing all over the world, and countless mortals turned into dry bones and souls.
In a ruined village, even in the daytime, it was gloomy, scavenging birds were constantly circling and flying, and a foul smell filled the air, but there were two figures wandering in such a bad place.
Gray robe, hood hanging low to see the face clearly, long cuffs occasionally waved, can leave a pair of wizened hands, no, can not be called hands at all, but should be called claws, Cen Bai's finger bones, black shiny nails almost an inch long, waving a swarthy flag, low and mysterious song in the village swirling echoes, rotting, dilapidated corpses, with the waving of the small flag, a shadow that seems to be nothing, let out a terrible roar, even in the sun rolled up a chill that penetrated into the bone marrow, whenever one by one unwilling, roaring, neighing and resisting shadows were collected into the small flag, the figure under the gray robe, there would be a terrible laughIt was as if you were enjoying the most delicious food in the world.
If someone sees a pair of eyes, they will not sleep alone, and even during the day, the eyes that occasionally open and close are glowing green.
The erratic figure, looking for a shuttle in the village, is more sensitive than the cat's sense of touch, the dead corpse anywhere, can not escape the palm of the two, unless there are no bones, thousands of corpses in the village, after the two of them sucked away the soul with a strange flag, even more dilapidated, after the two left satisfied, the hovering and flying corpse doves, crows, vultures and other scavengers, quickly pounced, but after all, it was in vain, the corpse after being absorbed, in the countless noisy birdsong, quickly decayed, even if the life that feeds on carrion, are full of disgust, after a shuttle, flutter their wings and fly away, to find new food。
Two gray streaks floated like ghosts, this was already almost a hundred villages, and the excitement prompted them to search for the traces of war horses and rush towards the new hunting grounds, and in different directions, there were also gray men alone, or in teams of several people, hunting souls in the dead and silent cemetery, and even killing those mortals who had escaped and struggled to bury their relatives and rebuild their homes.
With the battlefield being patronized by the gray-clothed people everywhere, the soul was hunted, a strange aura on the earth was condensing, even if the sun was shining, but there was no warmth at all, endless resentment rose to the sky, the depressing and dull breath in the sky, the grass and trees on the earth that should have been green became yellow, and the insects, ants, snakes and rats hidden in the forest were restless, and the evil deeds of such a large-scale extinction of the original soul were naturally felt by heaven and earth.
In the city of Tong'an Mansion, the lord of the palace and the principals of the four major families in the main hall finally waited for the two Jindan monks who were absent, the first one had a white face and no beard, a pair of phoenix eyes and a straight nose, red lips and white teeth, and the end was a good skin bag of Yushu Linfeng, it was Tao Yulin, the ancestor of the Jindan Mansion of the City Lord's Mansion, even if he was besieged by the army, he was calm and abnormal, and he was indeed good at cultivating, and the peak of Jindan was about to be cultivated into a fake baby, and he was invincible when he was cultivating.
The other person is a little worse, but not very much, the eight-story peak of Jindan, but it is second only to the city lord in the city, Chen Xiaoxu, the ancestor of the Chen family, don't look at some of the poor cultivation, but the Chen family is a wang family in Tianyanzong, and in the next generation, two of them have entered Jindan, even if the old family of Tong'an Mansion, the Tao family is also polite to the Chen family.
Tao Yulin and Chen Xiaoxu had a sweet discussion in the back court before, but they decided whether to fight or peace, and finally reluctantly unified their position, saluting first and then soldiering, as for the other party's statement that he was responsible for killing a family, there was no evidence at all.
In the main hall, after discussing some details, everyone dispersed, Tao Yunhe sent the monks to the main hall, looked at the ancestor who closed his eyes and raised his spirits, and stopped talking.
"Yunhe, what's the matter?"
Tao Yunhe hurriedly replied: "Ancestor, Yunhe really has no bottom in his heart, and I hope that the ancestor will show me whether to prepare in advance, in case things change, it is good to retain a bit of vitality for the family." "The words are sincere, and they are clearly well thought out.
Tao Yulin's slightly closed eyes flashed a trace of chill and dissatisfaction, and he quickly retracted before he said lightly, "Yunhe, how long have you been in charge of Tong'an Mansion?"
didn't solve Tao Yunhe's doubts, but suddenly asked about an irrelevant matter.
This...... Tao Yunhe's forehead suddenly oozed sweat.
Oh, if I'm not mistaken, since you took over as the head of the family and sat on the throne of the head of the house, it was when you entered the middle stage of foundation building, I think you were less than fifty at that time, and you can be said to be the leader in the clan, how long has it been now?
Without waiting for Tao Yunhe to answer, as if talking to himself, he continued: "It's been fifty years!
Tao Yulin's words were full of regret and sighs, his eyes were like sharp blades, and the skin of Tao Yunhe, who was thorny, was cold.
"Fifty years, you haven't even touched the threshold of the Jindan period, Yunhe, do you think that the monks of the foundation building period have a few fifty years to squander, and you still have a chance to go further?"
Tao Yulin could no longer suppress the anger in his heart, and yelled at Tao Yunhe, who was kneeling in front of him.
After a long time, the buzzing tremors inside and outside the hall gradually subsided, and Tao Yulin coldly ordered: "After this incident, you will step down from your position as the master of the mansion and cultivate with peace of mind! If you can't break through, then don't come out." ”
In a word, let Tao Yunhe be struck by lightning, fifty years of glory and wealth, brocade clothes and jade food, has already smoothed out the Dao heart, although he has not let go of cultivation, but he has long lost the sharpness of the year, thinking about the lonely time of sitting and retreating, he is stunned in the bottom of his heart, but he really does not dare to disobey his ancestor, this is an iron-blooded and ruthless character.
