Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Great Controversy in the World
Xu Chengfang looked at Xu Yunhe and said word by word: "Wolf King! With his approval, do you still have any doubts?"
Xu Yunhe's expression changed greatly, and he looked at Xu Chengfang and squirmed his lips, but finally didn't say anything.
With that person's confirmation, there really is no doubt about it.
"Wolf King" is not a wolf, but a person's nickname, a nickname for the elders of the Xu family. Xu Guohuang, the brother of the elder of the Xu family, and his nickname is related to his experience back then.
More than 20 years ago, the Great Qi Dynasty and the Great Zhou Dynasty fought a great war, in the battle of Yanmen Pass, the pioneer general was killed, Xu Guohuang, who was only a small partial general at that time, grabbed the flag and rushed up. Counting in and out, breaking the vanguard of the enemy army, killing tens of thousands of enemy troops, and Xu Guohuang, who had more than 500 enemy chieftains, was dyed blood-red in armor, and the enemy army who fled in defeat at that time looked at Xu Guohuang, whose hair and face were dyed blood-red, and chased and killed all the way behind him like a madman, and called him "Wolf King". This nickname has gradually become Xu Guohuang's pronoun, and there are few people who know his real name.
Xu Guohuang became famous in this battle, and then repeatedly performed miraculous feats and became one of the top famous generals in the Great Qi Dynasty. But the reason for Xu Yunhe's irrefutable courage is not his military exploits, but his other feat that shocked the world.
After two years of the protracted war, the emperors of the two countries somehow reached a reconciliation and finally ended hastily. After the war, Xu Guohuang exchanged all the rewards that belonged to him, as well as all his net worth, into money and goods, and distributed them to the families of his subordinates one by one.
After three years of hard fighting, Xu Guohuang has made many military exploits, and the small partial general of the year has become a well-known general in the world. But the price is that three years later, the 8,000 pro-military battalions that Xu Guohuang brought out that year were all killed in battle, and none of them survived!
One will be a success, and in the eyes of others, this is nothing at all. Isn't it normal to always die in war, and to die a thousand and eight hundred soldiers?
But Xu Guohuang didn't think so, his actions exceeded everyone's expectations. Eight thousand of his subordinates were orphaned, and he went to visit them one by one, knelt at the door of each house, laid down his belongings, and then respectfully kowtowed three times.
Xu Guohuang came from the Xu family, one of the six great families, and his 8,000 pro-military camps were all the lowestly poor children, and the difference in identity between the two sides was simply worlds apart, but he lowered his noble head and bowed down willingly to the mud legs that no one could afford in this world.
Such a move caused a lot of discussion in the whole world. It is said that the patriarch of the Xu family found him and scolded him, but Xu Dehuang was still the same, eight thousand, none of the family had missed, and after he completed this feat, it is said that his forehead has protruded a lot.
After that, Xu Guohuang, who had achieved fame, declined the reward of the first-grade general, and took up the post of chief soldier of the four-grade Yanmen Pass alone, and has been guarding the Yanmen Pass alone since then, and has not left a step for more than 20 years.
Such a person who attaches great importance to love and righteousness, Xu Yunhe, what doubts can be said there?
"When I first heard the news, my father was also skeptical. But the masters of the family are too eye-catching to go out. So my father passed on the third uncle who was closer to here, and he went to see it himself, so my father finally made up his mind!" Xu Chengfang said slowly, this "wolf king" Xu Guohuang is his third uncle, although he has not met a few times, but for this third uncle, his words are also full of respect.
"It seems that the treasure matter is true, but unfortunately, in the end, the news was leaked out!" Xu Yunhe no longer had doubts in his heart, but in his tone, there was still no meaning of kindness.
"The top of the family wants to swallow it alone, but in fact, this is just a futile effort! The six major families are dependent on each other, and they have already penetrated each other for hundreds of years. With such tempting news, where can they hide it from the others? Sure enough, in the end, they still came!" The sneering meaning in Xu Yunhe's tone, Xu Chengfang naturally understood it. It's just that he didn't mean to be angry, because in his heart, he actually thought the same as Xu Yunhe.
The six families have coexisted for hundreds of years since their birth. Marriage with each other, seven aunts and eight aunts, basically the children of each family can have something to do with other families. The status of each other is equal, and they are harmonious on the surface, but there is also a secret struggle behind the scenes. If you set up a spy, other people's families are not stupid, and it is normal for them to lurk in your house.
This time the Xu family learned the news, although not many people knew about it, but nine times out of ten, it was also mixed with a certain eyeliner of several other families. Otherwise, Pei Shengyuan would not have learned about this so easily.
Xu Yunhe shrugged his shoulders: "Originally, the family sent me because they thought that my status was not high and would not attract attention, so they sent me to secretly dig up the Martial Emperor's secret treasure." It's a pity that in the end, it still became a void!"
Xu Yunhe was silent, and Xu Chengfang suddenly asked a little strangely: "Yunhe, why don't you seem to be unmoved at all when you hear the Martial Emperor's secret storage? Although I don't know what's inside, anything left by a Martial Emperor will definitely make the entire world of martial artists crazy!"
"Of course, I know that the treasure is not trivial, and my heart will be tempted. It's just that no matter how tempting that treasure is, it's useless, because it has nothing to do with me, and it's just asking for trouble if I think too much!" Xu Yunhe shook his head and said lightly.
Xu Chengfang was stunned for a moment, then showed a smile and patted Xu Yunhe's shoulder: "When others hear the news, I'm afraid they won't even remember their surname, it's rare that Yunhe, you can still be so sober! Yes!
Xu Chengfang finished admiring, turned his eyes, and said, "But Yunhe, this time, you are wrong. Who said it had nothing to do with you this time? Yes, not only does it have a relationship, but it has a lot to do with it!"
Xu Yunhe looked at Xu Chengfang, who was suddenly a little excited, a little strangely, as if he didn't understand what he meant.
Xu Chengfang smiled, stood up, and said word by word very slowly but firmly: "This time to open the Vault, I want you, come with me!"
"What?" Xu Yunhe stood up suddenly, staring at Xu Chengfang's eyes with burning eyes, as if to judge whether he was joking with himself. Xu Chengfang's eyes were unwavering, obviously, what he said just now was not a joke that was not funny, but a fact.
"Why?" Xu Yunhe turned around, turned his back and said, "My strength is so low, I can't even carry a move and a half in the hands of you people, taking me to that kind of place is just adding a burden!"
"Is it a burden?" Xu Chengfang walked over, walked around to Xu Yunhe and looked directly at him, "In my Xu Chengfang's eyes, Yunhe, you, have never been a burden!"
"On the contrary," Xu Chengfang's tone changed, "Yunhe, you will be my Xu Chengfang's greatest help!"
"Do you really think so, I don't know how strong the six major families are, but thinking about it, the person they sent out this time will definitely not be much worse than that Pei Shengyuan, with the strength of the Xu family, they are already invincible. Wouldn't it be even more difficult to have a little ant like me?" Xu Yunhe asked rhetorically.
"Yunhe, I have to say, you think too low of yourself!" Xu Chengfang sighed and said slowly, "That's right, your current martial arts are not strong enough. But in this world, how can success or failure be judged by fists? Those who stand on the highest place are not the biggest fists! Wisdom, calmness, reactions, and all kinds of things -- the strength in this world is far more complex than mere force. ”
"This time I opened the Vault, and to be honest, I didn't have any bottom at all. Xu Chengfang shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Emperor Wu! That's the strongest person in the world who only exists in legends! Moving mountains and seas, turning clouds and rain, how can this kind of strong and outrageously strong man not make some mechanism or something in his own tomb? And a strong man of that level, one finger can crush us people to death effortlessly, we went in, to be honest, it was completely nine deaths and one life, not much different from looking for death!"
Xu Yunhe turned his back to Xu Chengfang and said quietly: "But you will still go, not only you, but also people from the other five families, they will also go." ”
"Yes, we'll all go. Xu Chengfang nodded, his face was indescribably stern, "Everyone knows that going in is a life of nine deaths, but Emperor Wu ...... Who can resist this temptation? Since there is still a glimmer of life, then I will not give up! No one will give up willingly!"
Xu Yunhe was silent, looking up at the few cold stars flashing in the sky, and was silent for a long time.
After being silent for a long time, Xu Chengfang suddenly said again: "I'm sorry, Yunhe, the reason why I didn't come out to stop it immediately before was because of ......"
"Okay, no need to say it anymore......" Xu Yunhe calmly interrupted Xu Chengfang's explanation, and said slowly, "You don't need to say it, I understand, I understand." You have your own troubles, and I was so angry before, so I lost my temper. ”
"I'm sorry......" Xu Yunhe's forgiveness made Xu Chengfang even more guilty, "I also said that you and I are friends, but I ...... myself when I saw you meet an enemy in front of my eyes."
"It's nothing, and in the end, didn't you still come out and save my life?" Xu Yunhe in turn began to comfort Xu Chengfang, and patted him on the shoulder, "If you can do this, you can live up to the word 'friend'!"
"I'm sorry......" Xu Chengfang still didn't forgive himself.
"Okay!" Xu Yunhe suddenly stopped drinking, which startled the unsuspecting Xu Chengfang.
Xu Yunhe patted his head with a headache: "Are you still finished? A big man, like a resentful woman, endlessly, makes my head hurt to death!"
"Oh my God!" Xu Chengfang looked at Xu Yunhe in a daze for a long time, and suddenly shouted, "I heard you right, right? Yunhe, you actually tell jokes! Oh my God!
"you!" Xu Yunhe scolded with a smile and pushed Xu Chengfang's shoulder, "Let's go!
"Okay! I'll go!" Xu Chengfang laughed, turned around and walked down the mountain, took two steps and stopped, turned his head and asked, "Yunhe, aren't you leaving? Let's go back together!"
"No need, you go first! I still have some things to think about here! You can go first!" Xu Yunhe beckoned to him and declined his invitation.
"Okay then, you should be careful here!" Xu Chengfang nodded, no longer reluctantly, took two steps forward, and suddenly remembered a very important matter, stopped and shouted, "Yunhe! You haven't answered me yet! Are you willing to go with me to the dangerous place?"
"Since you regard me as a friend, why do you need to ask?" Xu Yunhe smiled and waved his hand at him, "If there is a need, I Xu Yunhe is duty-bound!"
"Good, good, good!" Xu Chengfang said three "good" words in a row, a big stone in his heart fell to the ground, and he strode down the mountain. On the mountain, only Xu Yunhe was left.
"Like...... It's more complicated......"
Xu Yunhe muttered.
Tonight, first the king of Zhennan, and then the six major families, the powerful forces that suddenly appeared, one more terrifying than the other, busy for a day and a night, Xu Yunhe's heart was in chaos.
When he first returned to the family, his mind was very simple, he just wanted to use the advantages of the family to improve his strength as much as possible, and then go to find his master. It's only been a few days, and the world he thought he had seen through has become more and more elusive and difficult to see.
The hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit. This sentence is true, but there are too many people in this world, and there are too many entanglements of interests between people. When you think that you have seen through the red dust and watched coldly, you will always find that what you see is only the tip of the iceberg. The world hidden in the shadows is far more complicated than you imagined.
Before, Xu Yunhe had always thought that the power of the Xu family was already extremely terrifying. Who would have thought that after Baihualou, a small brothel, just because of the symbol of the king of Zhennan, even the head of the family, Xu Guofan, had to be polite to him.
And the Pei Shengyuan he met today greatly impacted Xu Yunhe's solid state of mind. In front of him, he couldn't hold up a single move. Since recovering his talent, Xu Yunhe has made breakthroughs one after another, although Xu Yunhe is not proud of this, but he also feels that he has a certain strength. As soon as he fought with Pei Shengyuan, he lost miserably.
If it weren't for Pei Shengyuan's carelessness and clever enough traps he arranged, it would be impossible for him to hurt Pei Shengyuan in the slightest. And even if his own plan worked, it didn't cause any harm to Pei Shengyuan. And in the end, if Xu Chengfang hadn't appeared, he would have been seriously injured again today. And listening to Xu Chengfang's tone, Pei Shengyuan is not the strongest at that level.
The absolute gap in strength is far from being able to be made up by a little cleverness. Facing the powerful Pei Shengyuan, Xu Yunhe deeply understood this.
I want to be stronger!
There has never been a moment when the desire to become stronger has been as strong as it is today.
The impact brought by Pei Shengyuan today is tantamount to a ten-level typhoon. The little self-confidence in Xu Yunhe's heart was shattered by the other party, but it also stimulated a bloody nature in Xu Yunhe's bones. For him, today's events are not a good thing.
A surge of blood in his heart, Xu Yunhe jumped up from the ground with a "Teng", the moon shadow was already past midnight, but he didn't want to waste any more time. Seeing that there was no one around, he planned to start cultivating immediately.
"Hiss......" stood there and took a posture, Xu Yunhe just wanted to move his legs and feet first, but when he moved, he moved his chest, and a sharp pain was clearly imprinted in his mind, making Xu Yunhe scream in pain uncontrollably.
In the battle with Pei Shengyuan just now, Xu Yunhe tried his best, but he didn't really hurt the other party. But Xu Yunhe himself suffered a lot of injuries, and now his chest is stuffy for a while as soon as he moves, once he gets angry, he is afraid that he will be able to go away at that time.
It was impossible to punch directly like before, but Xu Yunhe did not leave. Standing there and thinking about it, Xu Yunhe put down the hands covering his chest, and then slowly bent down.
The wound in his chest was still aching, and the muscles on Xu Yunhe's cheeks twitched for a while, but he didn't have the slightest intention of stopping, gritted his teeth, and slowly moved his two hands downward. Slowly, little by little, I gradually touched my toes.
Holding his toes a little bit, Xu Yunhe slowly clenched, and then, his almost half-broken body suddenly fell, and his body fell backwards to the ground. His ass fell heavily to the ground, and his movements continued.
His hands were still tightly grasping his toes, but Xu Yunhe's spine began to bend slowly, his legs were stretched out on the ground, and the entire spine was slowly lifted upwards with the thoracic vertebra as a point, slowly, until the upper body and lower body completed a semicircle, Xu Yunhe's body was still.
At this time, Xu Yunhe's head and two hands were on the tips of his toes, and his upper body completed a semicircle, forming a bow with his lower body. Maintaining this action that made Xu Yunhe's face full of cold sweat, he stopped moving.
This is a basic action of Su Liusha's regency technique passed on to Xu Yunhe, there is no need to operate the Yuan Force in the body, as long as you maintain this posture, your nature is true, and you can start cultivating.
Xu Yunhe is now injured in his body, and the Yuan Force in his body cannot function, so he can only practice this basic posture of the Regeneration Technique.
Holding this posture for a long time, Xu Yunhe suddenly opened his eyes, let go of his two hands, did not stand up, just flipped his body over, knelt on the ground on his knees, stretched out his two hands from his ears, and his spine that had just been straightened slowly leaned back with his hands, little by little, he held the toes of his feet in the opposite direction, and bent into a bow again in an opposite direction.
If there were outsiders at this time, seeing Xu Yunhe practicing like this, they would definitely think that he was crazy. Because martial arts training is based on the operation of the Yuan Force in the body, supplemented by moves, no one has ever bent his body around to practice like Xu Yunhe.
