Lu Chui had a good sleep for a few days. He did not go to listen to the advice of the head of his old family, such as re-reinforcing the city wall, or allocating all the available manpower in the Lu family again. He just covered his head and fell asleep. It took no less than six or seven hours for two days before I felt that my whole body felt comfortable and natural. I didn't know that there was snow falling outside Beiyanze Pass, and I had no way of knowing that the recent celestial phenomena in Beiyanze were really weird.
As for the old head of the Lu family, he also knew that things should not be forced. Lu Chui was a half-dandy who was accustomed to being loose. Whether it was his body, temperament, or spirit, he was completely different from what he expected. It is a pity that the head of the family is compared to him. It is a pity that he has to slowly plan to turn such a dandy into a man with enough skills to control the Lu family. Great talent.
Perhaps it was due to this consideration that the head of the Lu family, who can be called the ancestor, rarely hesitated in the corruption case that shocked the entire Lu family. It was not just because the matter was too heavily implicated. It is even more because he knows that these innocent things on the paper are like a branch full of thorns and barbs. Of course, he can easily remove them all with his own ability, but if it is Lu Chui who has full control over this matter, How to choose and how to do it? The so-called thinking before and after, being indecisive is not a bad idea. It is the best way out. However, Lu Chui's temperament is very slippery, and he doesn't know what it means to not give in. He must be taught Well, of course you need to practice it.
Therefore, there was no trivial move included in this corruption. Even if they were only slightly informed, they were all punished by the old head of the family. Except for those who lost their heads, the rest were dismissed from their posts in the Lu family. Those who were implicated accounted for nearly half of the Lu family, and the strong man who executed the leader used five ring knives in succession and rested several times before beheading all the dozens of heads. Even Lu Chui's father had fallen down several ranks from his original position and became an ordinary member of the Lu family, depressed and drinking all day long.
It's rare to get any good sleep in the past two days alone. Even Lu Chui can see horrific scenes of splattering blood and water in his dreams. He who likes to aimlessly walk around in the world has never seen such a scene, let alone among those who have been killed. Many of them used to come to Lu Chui's father's house when they were young, and they would call their uncle no matter what. During the day of the killing, Lu Chui stood in front of these people, only three to five feet away, so close that he could hear his neck. There was the sound of bone stubble scraping against the blade of the ring knife, not to mention the bloody head rolling to the ground. One of them, a very fat uncle, was dying. He clearly knew that Lu Chui could not save him, so he yelled curses at Lu Chui, who was very close at hand, along with The old head of the family also scolded him, but it was a pity that he only said a few words and his head was already in a different place.
Blood splattered all over the deer's body.
The head of the old family ordered someone to put the knife almost against Lu Chui's throat, forcing him to open his eyes and look in front of him. Dozens of people's heads were on the ground. Every time he killed one person, he used the long knife in his hand to stab the porcelain blue bricks. He paused for a moment with the tip of the knife, and then continued to stand with the knife, waiting for all the heads of dozens of people to fall to the ground like a supervisor, before he gave up. It was not until the old man left that the people of the Lu family finally escaped from the silence and realized that the old man had actually He used the tip of his long knife to knock out dozens of dots along the Lu family ancestral hall.
The Lu family started with martial arts. This is something that many people have long forgotten. The old man who has controlled the Lu family for almost his whole life and sits on the Grand Master's chair all day long has been someone who crawled out from the pile of bones. A soldier full of energy, it seems that for many years, the old man has been at the top of the Lu family. He has almost firmly controlled the entire Lu family with just one hand, making it appear to be in a desolate place, but it can still thrive, and it is The prosperity has made everyone in the Lu family forget how cruel this old man in his twilight years is.
However, Lu Chui knew about this. When I was still young, I was so energetic that I wanted to use my youth to bully this grandfather who was always very kind. However, whether it was wrestling or wrestling, the old man, whose body was getting thinner, was always as steady as ever. In the mountains, you can restrain the deer with just one hand, unable to move, and in the end you have to beg for mercy.
And the torrent seemed not to allow Lu Chui much room to breathe. The first to know that the border gate of Beiyanze was being attacked by endless monsters was the Lu family. When Lu Chui hurriedly put on his armor and sword, and stepped onto the city wall, his hometown The Lord was already sitting peacefully at the top of the city, but from his expression, there was really no trace of panic.
Chaos, in the distance outside the city, you can vaguely see the floating shadows of monsters like mountains, and there are often sounds of the sky crashing and the earth cracking, which is enough to make people's hearts tremble.
"Many years ago, I once told you something. At that time, you were just as tall as me." The old man put down the tea cup and did not forget to cover it securely. He was so elegant that he seemed not to be standing in front of the city. There were no servants wrapped in armor around him. There were bows and crossbows in front of him, but they were like silk and bamboo. The old man was sitting on the city like this, which made people feel at ease.
"Back then, you begged an unopened green-skinned gourd from your unlucky father, but you had to press it into the water. It took almost several hours, and it was so noisy that no one could sleep peacefully. I wanted to get up and beat you. Fortunately, you asked me, Grandpa, why does this gourd forcefully press its head to prevent it from sinking into the water? Grandpa never told you back then, but you never imagined that these years are really in a hurry, and the moon and stars chase each other, and they end up dead. That’s when I thought of giving you an answer.”
The old man's behavior was quite comfortable and natural, and he unknowingly pulled Lu Chui out of his anxiety and fear. He stared at the distant sky, sometimes filled with fire, sometimes obscured by the demonic mist again, and nodded slightly.
"Actually, everyone knows this principle, but it is not necessarily easy to do it. Everyone knows that the head is pulled from the neck, and you have never seen such headless and neckless people walking on the streets, right? Huandao The knife was cut from the back of the neck, and the neck was cut off. Blood and bone stubble splattered out, and the head rolled down. It can be said that he has seen beheading. Anyone who has seen chickens and geese killed will also know this. It is really If you really saw it, wouldn't you be as frightened as a wintering quail?" Perhaps it was because he caught a glimpse of the deer's color suddenly changing, or maybe he was recalling the practical times when he was surrounded by his offspring. The old man rarely sighed and patted the deer's shoulder. He was inevitably surprised. , These shoulders are stronger than mine back then, but the heavy burden of the Lu family and the countryless people in several cities here is really not easy to bear. "
"Since your father's generation, I have thought about it. If everyone's head is pressed down and they can float on the water, then they can sit at the head of this family. Even a hundred years later, they can safely close their eyes and see their ancestors. , I have never brought shame to the ancestors of the Lu family. All human beings are afraid, and all have bad roots such as coveting peace and happiness. I have made the descendants bloom everywhere, and this is the intention."
"When I have seen that there are many places in the world that are infinitely better than our poor mountains and rivers, whether it is the red sleeves fluttering in the brothels and the shallow willows in the wind, or the majestic swords, mountains, and seas in the world, or the various imperial cities where the eyes are too busy, and people are drunk and rich. , no matter how you look at such a small town, you can’t take it into consideration at all. Over the years, you have countless brothers, both near and far, who have all made some great achievements with their own abilities. This is whether you can survive by pressing their heads into the water. Suffering, from extravagance to simplicity, is the first step. However, these young people are all full of energy and refuse to lower their heads at all. But fortunately, it is blooming everywhere, which is not a bad thing. This kills two birds with one stone, which is my cleverness. "
Someone came forward and asked the family master if he had any plans, whether to rush to the border to rescue the monster before it entered the border, or to wait for the next move, but the old man waved his hand and persuaded him, saying that there was no need to rush for the time being.
"After seeing such a bloody and tragic scene, I slept for only two or three days, and I am still alive and kicking. Now I can be considered as floating on the water. To be honest, I have a little bit of the majesty and courage of your father when he was young. It only takes a little practice to achieve something."
After saying that, the old man no longer sat still, but straightened up and looked out of the city. Some of them were mumbling to themselves, and some of them were giving Lu Chui's instructions.
In his early years, when he was wallowing in the battlefield and sleeping in the snow, he always had to think about it. It was probably because God took pity on him and knew that he was approaching old age. He was able to give him the physical strength to fight with a bow and sword in his sleep, so that he could fight in such a hearty way again. , but it is a pity that the fantasy dream has a time limit and cannot be fulfilled.
The Lu family had prepared two thousand servants for a long time, and they were scattered to live in various cities. Only when the war came, they gathered together. Hundreds of rivers converged into the sea. Now they are all ready. There is no need to cause chaos in Beiyanze. This is what they had done with Qingpingjun All you have to do is abide by the bet you made. Whenever a monster crosses the city gate, you will take action again to protect the people in the city.
At that time, I probably drank too many pots of cat urine from Qing Pingjun's thoughtful people before setting foot on such a pirate ship. I also had some selfish motives, but I had seen the people outside Beiyanze who were poisoned and killed by monsters and even starved to death. Despite the tragic situation, I always felt that it was quite reasonable to set foot on the pirate ship at Beiyanze Border Pass.
The old man drew his sword very slowly, but Lu Chui behind him always felt that this member of the Lu family
My old master, when he was young, he was really powerful. He could fire several stone bows, drink several buckets of wine, mount his horse to kill thieves, and dismount his horse to shoot generals. But now this figure was firmly nailed to the top of the city, not even taking a step back, staring intently at the earth-shattering people outside Beiyanze shouting and screaming. .net
There is an inn in the city.
There was no one in the inn, there were only two people. They were a young musician who was holding a pipa and slowly wiping it. He had a rare and amazing look. The other was a swordsman who fell between the desks and barely raised his drunken eyes to look at the sky. It's a pity that the swordsman never had a sword in his hand.
"What happened today? The birds didn't stop for a while. Could it be that all the birds in Beiyanze passed over our heads?" The drunken swordsman asked suspiciously, but he soon knew what was going on. When he suddenly raised his head, the pipa player grabbed his sleeves and pointed to his original position.
