Chapter 43: The Mystery of Life
"Martial Master Yipin, that's right, but just now, his cultivation was a samurai Eighth Grade. Lu Youcheng snorted.
"So what? He is now a martial artist first-grade, and I am a dignified martial artist six-rank, and I can't beat him?" Duanmu Feiyu's face changed, but he became fierce again in an instant, and said unconvincedly.
"How old were you when you were a samurai bapin?" Lu Youcheng asked.
"Twelve!" Duanmu Feiyu's voice revealed a hint of arrogance.
"Then how old were you when you were promoted to the first rank of martial artist?" Lu Youcheng simply closed his eyes and asked lightly.
"Sixteen-year-old ......" Duanmu Feiyu's confidence is a little insufficient.
"The results of your Duanmu Sixth Son's four-year cultivation, that kid didn't even use half an hour to complete it. I'm very curious, if that's the case, what kind of genius is Duanmu Sixth Prince?" Lu Youcheng clasped his hands in front of his chest, closed his eyes and said disdainfully.
"You ......" Duanmu Feiyu's face turned blue, and he was unconvinced, but he didn't dare to get angry at Lu Youcheng, but he had stopped at his feet.
"Go away! don't get in my way!" but Xu Chengfang wanted to walk in front of Xu Yunhe, but was blocked by Duanmu Feiyu who was standing there, and couldn't help shouting angrily.
"You ......" Duanmu Feiyu was furious, just looking at Xu Chengfang's cold eyes, he still involuntarily took two steps to the side.
"Xu Chengfang, don't go too far! Your Xu family secretly hid the secret of Emperor Wu, we haven't made it clear yet. What, is this going to kill us all?" Pei Shengduo couldn't see it, and said coldly.
"Pei Shengduo, you don't want to sow discord here! Everyone can see it clearly, it was Gongye Lotte who attacked my brother first, what's the matter, is it only right that my Xu family is waiting to be killed? Do you think that my Xu family can let you bully it?" Xu Chengfang also did not have a good voice.
"Xu Chengfang! You must not forget! We are not here to gossip with you here! The matter of Emperor Wu's secret treasure! Your Xu family, you must give an explanation to our family!" Pei Shengduo tightly grasped the matter of "Emperor Wu's secret treasure" and continued to press.
"Hmph, it's just a Martial Emperor Secret Collection, what do you want? My Xu family did something wrong, if you Pei family got the news first, what would you do? Could it be that you are brighter than my Xu family?" Xu Chengfang retorted unceremoniously, and Pei Shengduo's face turned dark, but he was speechless to refute.
Indeed, the Xu family kept it a secret after learning about Emperor Wu's secret collection, which is indeed a bit inauthentic. But put yourself in your shoes, if it wasn't the Xu family who was the first to get the news, but any of the families present who learned the news, the first family to learn the news,
"Don't quarrel, everyone, everyone has worked hard to come here, the purpose is the same, they are all here for the legendary Martial Emperor's secret treasure. Everyone is angry and prosperous, so why should it be so unpleasant? The six families are one, so why bother?"
"Hmph!" Xu Chengfang and Pei Shengduo snorted coldly at the same time and turned their heads.
"Okay, you've beaten and fought, you've made trouble, you've made noise, if you're crazy enough, you'll all go back inside with Lao Tzu!" Lu Youcheng waved his hand impatiently and walked inside scolding.
"Wait a minute!" Xu Chengfang's face suddenly changed and he spoke.
"Xu Chengfang, are you fucking finished? If you fucking dare to Rory again, will you be so long, believe it or not, Lao Tzu will play with you?" Lu Youcheng Huo Ran turned around, pointed at Xu Chengfang's nose and scolded.
Xu Cheng looked at the angry Lu Youcheng expressionlessly, didn't say a word, just glanced at him, and looked towards the valley avenue in the rockfall valley.
Touching Xu Chengfang's cold eyes, Lu Youcheng's heart tightened, a pair of tricky ears moved slightly, and the look on his face also changed.
Gradually, from the avenue leading to the outside of the valley, there was a "rumbling" sound of horses' hooves from far and near. From far to near, from small to large, the ground under his feet gradually emitted a louder and louder tremor, as if thousands of troops and horses were marching towards this place.
"Xu Chengfang! What the hell are you doing! You transferred so many troops, do you want to kill people and kill people?" The faces of several people became more and more ugly, and Pei Shengyuan suddenly jumped out, pointing at Xu Chengfang with a sad and angry face.
"Idiot, if my Xu family wants to kill you, how can they use such unruly means?" Xu Chengfang didn't even look at him, and sneered.
"You ......"
"Don't fucking quarrel! People are coming! Just look at what the situation is!" Lu Youcheng broke the gong and roared, and the big foot stretched forward, and rushed towards the billowing smoke and dust in front of him.
The billowing smoke and dust had reached the mouth of the valley, and from here, it could already be seen that behind the smoke and dust was a team of ironclad cavalry in bright armor.
The sound of horses' hooves rumbled and shook the earth, but the group was not afraid, standing in the middle of the avenue, watching the menacing brigade of cavalry gallop towards with a calm expression.
At a distance of five meters from Lu Youcheng, who was the leader, the galloping cavalry suddenly stopped, and the general at the front pulled the reins, and after the crotch dismounted and stood still, he jumped off the horse, walked in front of Lu Youcheng two steps forward, leaned down and knelt on the ground, and said loudly: "Han Qianye, the last general of the East Vietnam Guard, has seen General Lu!"
Lu Youcheng looked at him with a big smile, and snorted: "My old Lu quit two years ago, what kind of general is it?
"In the eyes of the last general, a general will always be a general!" Han Qianye said respectfully, and then stood up from the ground as he obeyed the order.
"Let's talk about it, why don't you stay honest in your territory, what are you doing here?" As he spoke, Lu Youcheng glanced at the cavalry behind him and snorted, "You also brought in the group of people under your command who can see people, all of them are brought by his grandmother, why, do you want to level this rockfall valley? The number of people seems to be a little insufficient!"
"General Lu laughed, how dare you think like this when you have the courage to give the last general?" Han Qianye touched his beard embarrassedly, bowed his head and said, "Don't dare to hide it from General Lu, the last general is here to carry out the order of the king of Zhennan this time!"
"King Zhennan, how did he know about this?" Lu Youcheng was stunned, turned his head to look at Xu Chengfang, and when he met Xu Chengfang, he also raised his eyes, the two of them glanced at each other, and Xu Chengfang shook his head slowly.
"What about the people of the King of Zhennan? He won't just send you, the stunned young man, right? Since you're here, let's fuck Lao Tzu stand up! Let Lao Tzu see if you have three heads and six arms!" Lu Youcheng no longer looked at Han Qianye, and shouted towards the group of cavalry behind him.
"Villain Hao Dongfeng, meet all the sons! If you are presumptuous, please have a lot of sons, and there are a lot of Haihan!" As soon as Lu Youcheng's words fell, Hao Dongfeng's figure suddenly flashed from the cavalry team, appeared beside Han Qianye, and bowed to a few people.
How is he?
Xu Yunhe was shocked in his heart, what appeared now was already a military leader at the level of a general soldier, and looking at it like this, this Hao Dongfeng was actually one level higher than that Han Qianye. Does this big shopkeeper of Baihualou really have so much energy?
Xu Yunhe looked at Hao Dongfeng a little stunned, Hao Dongfeng raised his head after saluting, just happened to meet Xu Yunhe's scrutinizing gaze, and after being slightly stunned, he nodded and smiled at Xu Yunhe, the smile on his face revealed a sense of mystery.
"What are you, and dare to talk like this in front of us?" Duanmu Feiyu looked coldly at Hao Dongfeng with a humble smile on his face, and his tone was cold, "If you want to get a piece of the pie with us, it's not all cats and dogs who are qualified!"
"This is the sixth son of the Duanmu family, right? Don't blame the sixth son, the villain is also here on the order of my general, here, there is a personal letter from the prince of my family!" Hao Dongfeng was unmoved, the smile on his face did not change at all, he took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it over respectfully.
"Hmph!" After hastily reading a letter with few words, Duanmu Feiyu snorted coldly and threw the letter to Hao Dongfeng.
Hao Dongfeng took the letter accurately, carefully took it back and put it away, and then raised his head to look at Duanmu Feiyu, still respectfully said: "Duanmu Gongzi should believe it now, right? I wonder if the villain is qualified to participate in the meeting of your sons?"
"If you're not afraid of death, come if you want!" Duanmu Feiyu snorted coldly, turned his head sideways and ignored him.
"If you princes want to intervene, we have no opinion. But what do you want to do when you have recruited so many troops? If you want to rely on the strength of the crowd, I am afraid that your prince will make a miscalculation!" Pei Shengduo looked coldly at the cavalry behind him, which had four or five hundred people, and asked.
"Second Prince Pei misunderstood, how could my prince do this?" Hao Dongfeng still had a humble smile on his face that he couldn't fight back, "It's just that the secret vault is far away, and there are many dangers inside, although these soldiers are weak and can't get into the eyes of a few sons, but with so many well-trained soldiers, they can at least have one more guarantee along the way, right?"
"Hmph! Don't you just want to take advantage of the large number of people and want to add more weight to yourself? Believe it or not, with the order of this son, there will be tens of thousands of more ironclad warriors here tomorrow?" Pei Shengduo said coldly.
Hao Dongfeng just lowered his head and smiled, and did not answer.
Pei Shengduo was bored with himself, snorted from his nose, turned around and walked inside. The rest of the people had nothing to say, so they followed him and entered through the gate.
The Xu family had been prepared since the morning, and the group walked in and sat down one after another, and the servants of the subordinates greeted the wine and food in an orderly manner. Xu Chengfang, Lu Youcheng, Duanmu Feiyu and others entered the backyard and sat down in a room that had already been prepared.
This is where they discuss important matters.
This time, Xu Yunhe was not present. Even Pei Shengyuan was kicked out, and only one person from each of the six families participated in the meeting, and even Gongye Lotte, who was burned to ashes, changed his clothes and walked in. Coupled with Hao Dongfeng, who always maintained a humble smile, there were seven people in total, and they were discussing secretly in the room, and I don't know what a few people discussed, anyway, no one came out for a long time.
Xu Yunhe didn't go to the banquet outside to eat and drink, he stood alone more than ten meters away from the room, and in this position, he couldn't hear the movement in the room at all.
Behind him, there was also Pei Shengyuan, who was unwilling. Obviously, both of them have the same mind, and although they can't participate in the internal secret discussion, they both want to wait here so that they can know the result of the final discussion as soon as possible.
"Hey, that kid from the Xu family!" The two of them had nothing to say, and after being silent for a long time, Pei Shengyuan suddenly shouted.
Xu Yunhe didn't raise his head, he didn't react at all, as if he didn't hear the other party's shout at all.
"Hey, this son called you, don't you have long ears?" Looking at Xu Yunhe's unreasonable appearance, Pei Shengyuan, who was already unhappy, was even more angry in his heart, and his tone of voice was a little more angry.
"People with long ears only listen to people!" Xu Yunhe still didn't raise his head, but his words were a little choking.
"Bastard, you don't want to live anymore, do you?!" Pei Shengyuan, who had an old grudge, was furious, clenched his fists, and took a step forward to make a move.
"If you want to fight, come on!" Xu Yunhe's two hands appeared two flames, but he didn't do it immediately, just said calmly, "But this is the Xu family, if you start to do it for a while, if something happens, it's you who did it first!"
"You ......" Pei Shengyuan took a step and took it back, and his breath was in his heart, and the urge to beat Xu Yunhe violently became stronger and stronger, but he had lost the courage to do it.
Xu Yunhe is right, this is the Xu family after all. Not to mention that this place is very close to powerlessness, and a move will inevitably alarm Xu Chengfang, and he is definitely not an opponent. Even if he alarmed the rest of the Xu family, even if his identity was not ordinary, but this was the Xu family, as long as it was the Xu family, he would never watch himself bully people of the same clan here. A strong dragon doesn't suppress the head snake, what's more, he can't be considered a strong dragon at all?
And even if you ignore these, will this kid in front of you really be sure of victory? Yesterday, he suffered a secret loss at the hands of the opponent in the first battle, and today this kid suddenly turned into a big ball of fire, burning Gongye Lotte into a roast suckling pig. Gongye Lotte's strength and himself are only between the best, can he cope with his strange method of playing with fire?
After thinking about it, Pei Shengyuan could only snort extremely unwillingly, turned around abruptly to look in the other direction, and no longer looked at Xu Yunhe's annoying face.
Xu Yunhe looked at Pei Shengyuan's back expressionlessly for a while, and suddenly sighed secretly in his heart.
It turns out that the most powerful thing in the world is not force, but resourcefulness.
Xu Yunhe understood that the main reason why Pei Shengyuan didn't make a move in the end was due to the shock caused by the battle with Gongye Lotte just now. Quickly leveled up in battle, and was promoted from a samurai to a martial artist, this kind of rocket-like upgrade speed, even if these six sons with amazing talents, were unprecedented.
What is especially shocking is that Xu Yunhe was able to form a big fireball outside his body in the end, and it was by relying on this fireball that Xu Yunhe was able to press Gongye Lotte in turn, and finally burned Gongye Lotte enough.
Xu Yunhe's strange fire control methods were unheard of, and although Pei Shengyuan was arrogant, he didn't dare to act rashly. But only Xu Yunhe himself understood that although his fireball was magical, it was only Gongye Lotte who had never seen it, and he would be injured by himself if he had no experience. Once he is familiar with his own style of play, he will definitely beat himself very badly, with a super strength that is far more than one rank above him.
With the help of the Xu family's momentum, with the help of Xu Chengfang's prestige, and with the help of the taboo in the other party's heart, in just a few words, he eliminated an attack that was bound to lose invisibly. Is this the power of wisdom?
Xu Yunhe's heart couldn't tell whether he was happy or sad, looking up at the sky, the white clouds fluttering in the clear blue sky, an extremely comfortable good weather, Xu Yunhe's heart, but it was difficult to be happy.
When he was a child, he was alone and grew up in the market, the ruffians and hooligans at the bottom, the black-hearted traders, the unscrupulous officials, all kinds of darkness, Xu Yunhe saw a lot, and thought that he had already seen through the world. The hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit. Su Liusha only said this sentence once, and Xu Yunhe had already firmly remembered it. Isn't this world just for the sake of profit?
And now, when I returned to Xu's house and got acquainted with Xu Chengfang, in just a few days, everything I saw was subverting Xu Yunhe's original cognition little by little. This is a world of a higher level than Xu Yunhe's original world, a higher-level famous family, and a higher-level human sophistication.
Can't they have any other pursuits than profits? If they stand so high, can they only pursue the same thing as the lowest-class petty merchants and peddlers, and there is nothing else but their own interests? Are those glamorous and impassioned aspirations and ideals just used to decorate the façade or to deceive ignorant teenagers who don't know the depths of the world?
Because of interests, the enemy, who was still fighting to the death at the beginning, can drink and laugh at the same table in the blink of an eye. Because of interests, the two people who had a deep brotherhood in the ribs and knives before could immediately quarrel for a little interest entanglement, and they blushed and had thick necks, but they still refused to give in to each other. Listen, this quarrel has come here, isn't this the voice of Gongye Lotte and Duanmu Feiyu? Just now, the two of them looked like they were in deep affection, and now they are arguing over the question of whether they should bring three or four people in their own family.
If people live their whole lives only for that little profit, then what is the point of living like this? After a hundred years, all interests can only be turned into nothing. Since they have worked hard all their lives, in the end it is still empty, so is there any point in them fighting so hard?
If there is no meaning in living, then why should they live? If there is no meaning in living, then what is the meaning of their own life? Is it that they are only living for a ridiculous reason?
