Chapter Twenty-Three: The Principal's Past II

"Well, that's what I thought back then. I told my father, and he agreed with me. It's just that he's seen a lot through it, and he said let me do what I want. Later, I joined the army as a teenager, and my talent in cultivation was not high, and it took me nearly ten years of cultivation to reach the peak of foundation building. At that time, I thought that I was almost invincible, after all, there were very few cultivators in this world. It wasn't until I went to the border more than thirty years ago for a mission that I had already stepped into the realm of Yudan halfway. ”

A half-step cultivator in the Dan Realm is almost unmatchable to ordinary people, and Dong Xiaolong's grandfather has only been refining for decades. It seems that the exercises given to the Wu family by the old realm lord are indeed much stronger than those passed down by his own family, but Wu Zhen has only cultivated for more than ten years before he has reached the Dan Realm in half a step, which is still much worse than the Tianyuan Jue he cultivated.

Dong Xiaolong knew in his heart that his cultivation speed was indeed fast, but this was mixed with other advanced techniques and two genius earth treasures. However, without the assistance of these things, it would only take two years at most to advance to the peak of foundation building. In this way, it seems that the old realm master still calculated well, and did not give the Wu family too powerful exercises. Dong Xiaolong guessed that it was almost impossible for this exercise to be cultivated to the peak of the Dan Realm, but none of this matter was important to him.

"That mission was actually not very difficult, and the mission intelligence was nothing more than an armed force of a few hundred people. And how could I care about these hundreds of people at that time, I asked for an order to carry out a team of thirty people, I thought that leading thirty people was a bit much, but I didn't expect that it would be the saddest mission I had ever done. Wu Zhen's old hands were clenched tightly, and Dong Xiaolong could see how much remorse he felt about this matter.

"At that time, I was very conceited, let the team wait nearby, and broke into the enemy's line alone. It was true that almost no one could stop me along the way, and I thought everything was going very well, but it was not until I entered the enemy headquarters that something changed. ”

Dong Xiaolong still understands military history, and it is not impossible for the arms of 30 years ago to injure a cultivator, and a missile is close to him, and with his current strength, he will either be killed or injured. If it is a half-step knot pill realm, it can only be slightly injured, and it is unlikely that an armed force on a border will have this kind of military strength. If we put it in the current era of science and technology, there are many more ways to deal with cultivators. Although it is invincible to human beings, it may not be able to defeat technology, unless it reaches Tang Hanfeng's cultivation strength, it is a realm where technology may not be able to balance it.

Wu Zhen continued: "At that time, I fell into the trap of the enemy, and they released a strange poison gas in the command room. I was too conceited to be defenseless, and by the time I found out, I had inhaled too much and was in a brief coma. When I woke up, I found myself weak, the blood flow in my body was slow, and I couldn't breathe, and I guessed I was poisoned. ”

"Why is it poisoned? If they kill you directly, they can actually do it, no matter how strong the true qi of the body protection is in a coma, it can be broken through without control. Dong Xiaolong thought for a while, "Maybe they think that poison is more lethal, so they chose this method." ”

All the power in this world comes from nature, and all things nurtured by nature have a way of mutual reciprocity. There are herbs that can save people and cure diseases, and there are also poisons that can kill people instantly. At that time, there was a poison that could subdue a half-step cultivator in the Dan Realm, and with the current scientific and technological strength, it was also possible to research a poison to restrain himself, and it seemed that he would not only pay attention to the cultivator in the future, but also pay attention to other people.

"Their poison is so strong that I feel like my internal organs are burning, and if I hadn't woken up, I would have died. They chained me and locked me in the basement. It took me a long time to regain my mobility, but I suffered severe internal injuries. Later, the team I brought with me came to look for me, but they killed several people in the firefight, and I tried my best to save the rest, but in the end we were able to defeat them. I was very weak in a state of serious injury, and finally half of the people began to fall beside me one by one, and finally I exploded half of my condensed Inner Dan and died with the last hundred or so of the enemy. I was blessed to die and was later saved by the rest of my teammates. ”

Dong Xiaolong didn't expect Wu Zhen to have such an experience. Wu Zhen sighed again: "Alas, I brought thirty people, and when I came back, there were only four left. The other twenty-six people died there, and I felt guilty. The cultivation is almost gone, and it is impossible to cultivate anymore. Later, I finally understood my father's mood back then, I thought you could save everything, but in the end you hurt more people. Saying that, the corners of Wu Zhen's eyes couldn't help but moisten a little.

Wu Zhen's experience is indeed a warning to Dong Xiaolong, he must be steady in doing things in the future, and he can't be careless just because the other party is not a cultivator. If Wu Zhen had been very careful at the beginning, he would not have suffered such heavy damage. Dong Xiaolong saw that Wu Zhen still couldn't let go of his feelings after so many years, so he comforted: "Headmaster, maybe without your action, the casualties caused by the enemy may be more, so many years have passed, you don't have to blame yourself like this anymore." ”

"There are some things that I can't forget, and I still remember their names vividly. I have been taking care of their families for so many years, and although their families do not blame me, I know the pain of losing them. All this pain should be borne by me alone, and I will not forgive myself no matter what. After saying that, Wu Zhen closed his eyes, and when he opened his eyes again after a while, his eyes were no longer sad.

Feeling the change in Wu Zhen's eyes, Dong Xiaolong understood that the story of the vicissitudes of life in front of him was finished. In fact, Dong Xiaolong has only experienced more than ten years, and he has experienced too few things, and some things will not be understood if he has not experienced them personally. But what is Wu Zhen telling him so much for?

Wu Zhen slowly stood up, turned his back to Dong Xiaolong and said, "I'm telling you this, in fact, I just want to tell you that having some things is not necessarily a good thing. But now that you have chosen, you have to think clearly about what this power will bring you, and whether you have the awareness to face the difficulties in the future. ”

Wu Zhen turned around and looked at Dong Xiaolong with a smile on his face, "You can think about what I said, and there is one more thing I want to ask you, what is your name?

"My name is Dong Xiaolong, and I have never been apprenticed. "Although Tang Hanfeng taught him, it is true that there is no apprenticeship, so it is not wrong to say that it is not his master. Besides, Tang Hanfeng's identity is obviously not easily exposed, so it's better not to say it casually.

"At a young age, I built the strength above the middle stage, and I was really talented without the guidance of my master. Wu Zhen was a little envious, if he had this strength when he was young, he would have already stepped into the realm of Yudan by middle age. However, what he didn't know was that Dong Xiaolong had only taken a few months, and he had not yet hit the Heavenly Rank to lay the foundation, and he was only in the middle of the stage.

"When I was young, my cultivation strength was not much stronger than yours, and there is nothing that can guide you in cultivation, but if you have any questions, I can also tell you about my cultivation situation, maybe it will help you a little. ”

"Then thank you very much, if I have any doubts in the future, I will visit you again!" Dong Xiaolong knew that Wu Zhen was kind, and he still thanked the principal politely.

"I'll have something to do later, I want to meet a big person, and the safety of the school should really be taken seriously. We'll talk another day, and if you're free, you can always come to the principal's office to find me. I was drinking tea and practicing calligraphy in the office every day, and I was bored. Wu Zhen left here after speaking.

Do you want to see a big man? It can't be my grandfather! Dong Xiaolong suddenly thought that yesterday his grandfather said that he would come to the school to talk, but this matter should have been over, and I don't know if there are any forces in the dark world around here? Thinking of this, Dong Xiaolong still feels that it is better to be cautious, and it seems that he should be careful these days. Emperor Twilight found out that he was not dead, and he came to kill himself again, but he was not so lucky to pick up a life.

The school is also closed today, and I don't know how the school coped with the impact of this attack, but looking at the appearance of Principal Wu Zhen, it should be handed over to someone else to do it. Since last night, there have been military patrols around the school, but there have been no casualties, and it should soon be back to normal after the authorities have calmed the crowd. If you are always on alert, you should be more careful in your cultivation in the future.

Seeing that the time was almost ready for breakfast, I sent a message to Li Wei, but she didn't reply, she shouldn't have woken up yet. Dong Xiaolong went to the cafeteria first to finish breakfast, and brought some breakfast to Tang Hanfeng and the others. When he returned to the dormitory, he found that Tang Hanfeng was gone, and Lin Yan and Yuan Ming happened to get up and wash.

"Where did the others go, big brother?" Dong Xiaolong asked.

"When I opened my eyes, he was gone, and I didn't know where he was going. Lin Yan just came out of the shower and said. Yuan Ming followed Lin Yan out of the bathroom and said: "Eighty percent is going out to pick up girls, in addition to going back to the upper realm to do errands, he is to find Tang Wan." However, he just came back from the upper realm, and he probably won't go back, so I guess he went to find Tang Wan. ”

Dong Xiaolong felt that what Yuan Ming said was very likely, but he didn't think much about it, the two of them fell in love, what did he care. Putting the food in his hand on the table, Dong Xiaolong said to Lin Yan and Yuan Ming: "I brought you breakfast, you can eat it yourself." ”

Hearing the breakfast, Yuan Ming's eyes also lit up, "It's still your caring, you know to help us bring breakfast." ”

Lin Yan and Yuan Ming were eating breakfast, and Dong Xiaolong looked at the major news reports on his mobile phone, and the military had been reassuring the masses and strengthening security protection near Donghua School. I don't know if my grandfather is also busy with this matter now, this time grandpa should be almost up, Dong Xiaolong decided to call and ask first.
