Chapter 823: Old City Lord
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have mentioned that. ”
Mu Yu helped the old city lord away from the hustle and bustle of the crowd, walked into the city lord's mansion, and sat down on the bench in the courtyard.
The old city lord said with a resolute face: "This matter should not be mentioned, our cultivators were originally going to fight the Yumeng Demon Clan to the end, and my two sons killed at least dozens of Yumeng Demon Clan, and they died unjustly!"
Speaking of this, the old city lord's eyes dimmed again: "It's a pity, I have no blood, but I can't go to the battlefield to fight with the Youmeng Demon Clan!" But I think, judging from what they are doing so far, I'm afraid that Dongsha City will be destroyed sooner or later, and in my current state, the Youmeng Demon Clan that can be killed is really limited!"
He raised his head and looked at Mu Yu again, looked at the young man in front of him, and asked, "Are you like them?"
Mu Yu smiled slightly: "No, I'm the same as you." ”
In front of this venerable old man, Mu Yu showed his true face, and did not use the phantom array to hide his appearance.
The old city lord nodded approvingly and patted Mu Yu's shoulder: "This is the backbone that a young man should have!"
"My brother and I are not greedy for life and afraid of death! Xiao Shuai jumped on the bench with a big grin and said with a grin.
The old city lord also laughed when he saw Xiao Shuai's innocent appearance: "The little doll is cute, but you don't have any cultivation, and your brother only has an out-of-body period, you have to protect yourself well, and then kill the Youmeng Demon Clan when you grow up!"
Then he pondered for a while and asked, "What are the names of you two, and which sect are you from?"
Xiao Shuai grabbed his mouth and said: "My name is Xiao Mao, and his name is Da Mao! We have no door and no faction, wandering the world, taking the world as our home, acting chivalrous and righteous, punishing adultery and eliminating evil!"
Mu Yu shook his head helplessly.
The old city lord coughed twice and asked, "What does the Yumeng Demon Clan mean to you?"
Mu Yu was stunned for a moment, this sentence was originally used by him to ask the Xuanzhengtang family, but he didn't expect the old city lord to ask him.
What does the Yumon Demon mean?
Both the Terrans and the Yumeng Demon Race actually just want to live, and to survive, territorial disputes must be indispensable. The triple palace is to take advantage of the contradictions between the two races to create a war and absorb the soul power of the dead.
But putting aside the conspiracy of this war, no matter which race you stand on, if you want to live, you should have the qualifications to live, and letting the cowards who are greedy for life and fear death and ungrateful only live is just to disgrace your race.
It was difficult for Ki Yu to answer this question.
"When I was a child, my grandfather said that the Yumeng Demon Clan was an enemy, and being an immortal master was to deal with the Yumeng Demon Clan and protect the Terran Race, I have never forgotten this, I want to protect the Terran Race. Mu Yu said calmly.
But he still has some words unspoken, he is a human race, but he has the ability of the Yumeng demon race, when he was a child, he firmly wanted to prove that he was a "person", no matter what ability he had, he had to be a good "person".
To this day, he saw clearly the face of the so-called "human" cultivator, and he suddenly wondered, was he too innocent when he was a child?
Mu Yu continued: "Whether it is the human race or the Yumeng demon race, we must remember our own identity and remember our responsibility. ”
He is a person, and he is also a Yumeng Demon Clan, his identity is very special, and his responsibility is to unravel the conspiracy of the Triple Palace, not to end this war, let alone to let a group of cowardly cultivators survive.
Mu Yu understood a truth very early, the war between the human race and the Yumeng demon clan cannot end, as long as it exists, there will be conflicts, Mu Yu just doesn't want this war to be deliberately manipulated by the Triple Palace and become a power tool for the Triple Palace to consolidate its position.
The old city lord smiled with satisfaction: "You are right! What is missing in the younger generation of the cultivation realm now is people like you! We must always remember our identity, the human race will not compromise with the Yumeng Demon Clan!"
The old city lord stood from the perspective of the human race, and he did not forget his identity.
Mu Yu smiled and didn't refute anything.
The old city lord sighed: "It's a pity that the cultivation of the two of you is too low, this time Dongsha City was raided by Youmeng, I'm afraid that there will be more than one luck, once the city protection array can't stop the Youmeng Demon Clan, you have to find a way to escape from here, improve your cultivation, and then kill the Youmeng Demon Clan when you have the strength in the future." ”
"You want us to leave?" Mu Yu was surprised, "I thought you were going to let us fight the Yumon Demon Clan to the end." ”
The old city lord said solemnly: "If the cultivators of the entire Dongsha City have a bloody nature and choose to work together to fight against the Youmeng Demon Clan, you naturally can't be deserters. But right now, the cultivators in Dongsha City have no fighting spirit, and you two can't scream alone, so you should retain this determination to kill the enemy, and fight bravely with more bloody cultivators in the future, your lives are more precious than the lives of those people outside!"
"Do those people outside think the same way, keep their strength now and kill the enemy in the future?" Mu Yu asked.
The old city lord shook his head: "I have seen many cultivators, there is nothing wrong with seeing people, these people have never thought of fighting against the Yumeng Demon Clan, they are afraid, they just want to live, even if they escape this time, they will still be a coward in the future." But the two of you are different, you are not like those people outside who are greedy for life and afraid of death, and there is still a glimmer of hope for the human race in the future if you survive. It's good to have blood, but the ability of the two of you alone is too weak in front of the Yumeng Demon Clan. ”
Mu Yu was silent, he could also see that it was just a sorrow that these cultivators were alive, and now they could let Mu Yu, who helped them, die, and in the future, when they encountered the threat of the Yumeng Demon Clan, they might coerce others to die on their behalf.
A glimmer of perseverance appeared in the eyes of the old city lord: "A person who has no backbone is also a walking corpse if he survives." They don't want to resist now, and they can't count on them in the future, but you're different. So if that time comes, I will do my best to escort you out, I can't save them, but at least try to save the hope of the two of you Terrans. ”
Mu Yu's heart moved, the old city lord thought that Mu Yu's cultivation was too low, but he had the qualifications to live, so he was willing to sacrifice his life to protect Mu Yu and the two to leave. But Mu Yu also felt that people like the old city lord had hope of surviving the human race, and he also wanted to save people like the old city lord.
The old city lord sighed again: "I couldn't protect my son at the beginning, and I also regret it in my heart, now I have nothing to worry about, and being able to let the two of you leave alive is the last thing I can do, but I hope that the two of you promise me that if you escape, you must not be greedy for life and fear death in the future, and dare to fight against the Youmeng Demon Clan!"
The old city lord's expression was very serious, he couldn't convince those selfish people outside, but now there were two offspring with good hearts, and he also wanted to do something.
Xiao Shuai laughed: "Ah, old man, you are so nice......!
Mu Yu interrupted Xiao Shuai: "The old man's words, we take it to heart, although our brothers are helpless, but at least understand that as a cultivator, the backbone that should be there must be, the old gentleman's personality makes me admire, we will not let the old gentleman go to death for us, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, and we can't give up any opportunity until the end." ”
The old city lord laughed, glanced at Mu Yu again, and nodded: "Yes, yes! You kid is very much in line with the old man's heart, since you say that you are helpless, have no door and no faction, then I wonder if you two are willing to worship the old man as a teacher?"
"What?
Xiao Shuai said in surprise, with a very strange expression on his face, and he almost burst out laughing, but Mu Yu covered Xiao Shuai's mouth.
The old city lord smiled: "Yes, although the Youmeng Demon Clan is now eyeing the outside world, if you two worship me as a teacher, I will try my best to pass on all the lifelong learning to the two of you in these two days, as for how much you two can learn depends on your creation." At this juncture, if you can learn a little more skill, you two will have more hope of surviving, are you two willing?"
The old city lord He Jinglong is a cultivator of the Combined Nine Heavens, even if he is seriously injured, but his strength as a master of the Combined Nine Heavens is genuine.
He saw that Mu Yu and Xiao Shuai had not forgotten their original intentions in this situation, and dared to fight against the Youmeng Demon Clan, so they had a heart of love.
In his opinion, his cultivation of the Nine Heavens was more than enough to be the master of these two people, and he also hoped that if the Youmeng Demon Clan broke through the city, the two brothers would be able to have more life-saving skills.
It's a pity that the old city lord doesn't know what the two people in front of him are.
If he knew that Mu Yu was the one who saved the people of the city yesterday, then the old city lord would definitely be shocked! He would also be embarrassed by what he had just said.
Xiao Shuai desperately wanted to laugh, wanting to tell the old city lord "You can't teach us, we are better than you", but Mu Yu didn't let Xiao Shuai speak, he didn't think that the old city lord was inadequate, at least the old city lord's personality made him admire.
Mu Yu replied politely: "It is naturally an honor for our brothers to be able to get the guidance of the old man, but before apprenticing, I have a question I want to ask the old gentleman." ”
"But it doesn't hurt to say that. ”
The old city lord coughed twice, gasping for breath, and Mu Yu reached out and patted him on the back.
Dongsha City was besieged by the Youmeng Demon Clan, and Mu Yu could have saved these people, but this group of people was ungrateful, greedy for life and afraid of death, and they had to hand over Mu Yu and compromise with the Youmeng Demon Clan.
Mu Yu didn't want to save these people in his heart.
But with a cold eye watching Dongsha City being slaughtered by the Youmeng Demon Clan, can he do it?
Mu Yu asked calmly: "Old man, I want you to think about it from the perspective of the authorities, if you were the mysterious person who cultivated during the Tribulation Period yesterday, and you saved these people yourself, but these people are still crusading against you, and want to hand you over to the Youmeng Demon Clan, so that you can be sent to death, what will you do? Will you continue to save these people, or will you choose to stand by and let these people fend for themselves?"
The old city lord is an admirable person, and he is also a wise man who understands righteousness, he has more life experience than Mu Yu, and like Mu Yu, he looks down on the cowards outside, and now he is forced by these cowards to give up the position of the city lord, and the old city lord is also a crusaded person.
Since this is the old city lord's city, he wants the old city lord to decide.
Do the people of this city want to save it?
