Chapter Seventy-Three: Lanhu Ancestors
Today's banquet indoors was not as oppressive as last night's.
However, the relevant etiquette still has to be followed, and because Mrs. Yu was present, Yu Xiao ate today's food slowly. Mrs. Yu didn't even say a word during the whole process, nor did she show any hostility towards Yu Jing.
"When did Principal Shentu let you go?" Towards the end of the banquet, the head of the Yu family asked.
"I only said that I would gather in the Imperial City today, and I didn't say the specific time."
"Okay, it's going to take a lot of time to get there, so try not to keep the principal waiting too long. You two should get over now...... In addition, when the things ordered by Principal Shentu are done, I need Yu Xiaoxiao to return to the main mansion. ”
Yesterday, the head of the Yu family had already explained that Yu Xiaoxiao was required to have the 'ability to protect himself' before the world changed, and before the end of the winter vacation, Yu Xiaoxiao would stay in the main mansion to strengthen his practice while ensuring that he would not be troubled by artificial people.
"Okay, once the matter is settled, I will personally send Xiaoxiao back to the Nineteenth District...... Another thing, before leaving, can you let me refer to the basic exercises of the "Heavenly Fox School" passed down by the 'Lanhu ancestors'. I asked Master Fu last night, should you be qualified to read it, right? It won't be too long. ”
"Yes."
The head of the Yu family didn't say anything, and directly asked his subordinates to take Yu Jing to the public inheritance room.
Due to the loss of the core meaning of the "Heavenly Fox School", only the key to getting started and the basic exercises remained, coupled with the extremely harsh cultivation conditions, there were not too many secrets to speak of. The relevant exercises have been completely disclosed to the main lineage, and the Hakka people can also try to learn them by applying.
Yujing's purpose is simple.
Today, as long as you have been to the inheritance room of the "Heavenly Fox School" and read the relevant basic exercises, you will no longer have any scruples in the future, and you can use the techniques of the "Heavenly Fox School" at will.
"This is the 'Public Inheritance Room', where everyone in the main family can enter it at will and learn the basic exercises stored in it. Except for some exercises that lack the core meaning, once you have fully mastered the basics, you can apply to the manager for more in-depth study. ”
Turn the key to open the closed stone door, revealing a spacious room that resembles a small library.
Some fairly ordinary books are displayed directly on the shelves in the hall, and there are small rooms where the basic exercises need to be carefully selected are stored separately.
"Yujing...... Why did you want to learn the "Sky Fox School"? When I was a child, I tried to study for a while, but it was so hard that I couldn't sleep because of the pain in my body every day. Yu Xiaoxiao followed aside, tugging at the corner of Yu Jing's clothes.
"It's okay, I'm just curious.
This Lanhu senior was actually able to leave a portrait in the hall of your Yu family's mansion as a member of the family, not as the head of the Yu family...... It is conceivable that the creation of the "Sky Fox School" has a huge influence on your Yu family. I want to see what is so subtle about such a genre, and whether to practice it or not is another matter. ”
Yu Xiaoxiao nodded a little understandingly, "Oh...... The deeds of Lanhu's ancestors, Grandpa Fu often told me when I was a child. Yu Jing, you are a genius, maybe you can really learn. ”
The two of them walked in the public inheritance room, the room of the basic exercises of the "Heavenly Fox School" was located in the deepest part, and the relevant precautions were printed on the door, and they were allowed to enter only after reading them carefully.
- Special warning: Practicing the exercises may lead to permanent damage to the body——
When Yu Jing pushed the door open, a special breath flowed out of the crack in the door.
The interior of the separate heritage room is relatively special, first of all, you need to pass through a corridor, the walls are made of a dark blue brick material, and the walls are carved with various patterns about the 'sky fox' and the 'limits of the body'.
These images seem to tell a little story about a group of humans who have been banished to a no-man's land, and who die one after another in harsh conditions. Some people even began to eat their dead companions, but it still didn't last long, after all, the lack of water was quite deadly.
When there was only one survivor left in the team, he happened to meet a strange fox at night, and through the contraction of his body, the thin fox was able to jump more than 30 meters high and prey on birds flying quickly.
Seeing this kind of fox is like seeing the hope of survival, after all, the existence of life means that there must be a water source nearby.
After the sole survivor finds a water source and temporarily saves his dying life, the next step is to solve the problem of food.
In the current situation, it is natural to think of the fox before, a meal of fox meat can at least satisfy hunger, and have the strength to find more food.
However, no matter how much the survivor tried to catch it, this particular fox was always able to escape by contracting and twisting its body, and no trap worked...... In the process of capturing the fox, the survivor also unknowingly went deep into the depths of the no-man's land, and encountered many wild beasts that were all killed by this person for food, but the fox could not be caught anyway.
It seems that chasing foxes every day has become a habit for this person, and he even subconsciously learns the fox's escape skills, and can slowly twist his body to produce "turning power".
Years passed, and the manhunt ended.
It was not the successful capture of the fox, but the pursuit of the survivor that allowed the survivor to leave the no-man's land and reach the surrounding human society.
…………
"Is it the wonderful experience of the ancestors of the blue fox?"
"Well, I've heard Grandpa Fu say that Lanhu's ancestor used to be just a very ordinary killer in the family, and at the age of fourteen, she passed the basic assessment of the Yu family and went to the real world to perform killer tasks...... Who knew that the first mission would fail by revealing his identity, and the entire team, including the "Blue Card Killer" of the leader, would be thrown into a no-man's land to fend for themselves. ”
"Who knew that four years later, when the Lanhu ancestor was eighteen years old, he actually walked back to the Yu family alone, and even killed all the related characters that caused her mission to fail, even including some of the Yu family's internal ghosts, and shocked the Yu family with the strange skills of the "Sky Fox School".
It is rumored that the eighteen-year-old Lanhu ancestor once fell out with the management department because he had no full evidence to execute the inner ghost, but unfortunately no one was the opponent of the Lanhu ancestor, and even the chief housekeeper of the Yu family at that time came forward to suppress this matter, and in the end it was just a tie with the Lanhu ancestor. ”
"Eighteen years old tied with the chief housekeeper?"
"Yes...... It is also because of the understanding of the transformation of the Lanhu ancestors that the Yu family made concessions and granted the Lanhu ancestors the status of "black card killer", and in more than ten years, because the Lanhu ancestors have established majesty and won a lot of wealth around the world, the Yu family has developed super fast. ”
