After Chen Daji finished speaking, everyone present showed respect.
Of course, this respect is for the deceased Uncle Li and General Li!
When the smoke clears and the clothes are brushed away, merit and fame are deeply hidden in this life;
The general defended the border area to the death, shocking everyone in the world!
Since ancient times, the Mohists have taken it as their duty to defend the border and bring peace to the people, so they respect national heroes the most. Ma Mingyang is no exception.
With a serious look on his face, he clasped his hands and spoke loudly.
"May I ask the surname of the grandfather Mr. Juzi mentioned and where he lives now?"
"I'm so talented, I will definitely visit my house one day with the geese and the lambs to show my respect and admiration!!!"
Without waiting for Chen Daji's reply, Hongru Xun Yi, who had always been calm and indifferent, spoke in a rare move.
"Old General, he is in charge of the Red Dragon's Bone and has fought against the enemy for our country for more than ten years."
"Whenever we face an enemy, we must be the first to take the lead and never retreat! We are truly the backbone of the nation!"
"Xun is not talented and dare not mention his name, so just call him General Li!"
"The old general...he has passed away..."
When Ma Mingyang heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then sighed and remained silent for a long time.
When everyone saw this, they did not "disturb" him, but carefully discussed what had just happened.
Purple-clothed Taoist Wu Yongming was the first to speak.
"Just... was that sarcophagus just now???"
Zhang Jiao nodded deeply.
"That's right! The bluestone coffin was buried halfway up the mountain, and all the souls mourned and the whole world lamented!"
After finishing speaking, he glanced at Hua Jiunan subconsciously.
"When it first came out from the foot of Didang Mountain, I could still compete with it."
"Now that my strength has been fully restored, I am afraid that I will be far behind... Even if I become an immortal instantly, I will still be far behind!"
Everyone is the most outstanding being in each family, so they naturally know what the bluestone coffin represents.
Thinking of the five thousand years of grievances between it and Hua Jiu Nan, everyone couldn't help but look solemn.
Without Uncle Li's relationship, Qian Duoduo, Sun Yangming, Xun Yi, etc. could not help each other, or even sit leisurely on the mountain and watch the tigers fight.
Because the blue stone coffin is different from other evil creatures: as long as Hua Jiunan's lineage is killed, the resentment will dissipate and completely disappear, instead of continuing to cause harm to the world.
But Hua Jiunan is a descendant of the Red Dragon Bones!
Therefore, the great scholar Xun Yi would stand by his side both in public and private affairs. Even if he had to put in all his efforts, he would still protect the only descendant of General Li! ! !
These people have been friends for half their lives, and they all understand each other's feelings without having to discuss them.
Qian Duoduo changed his usual cynical look and said with a solemn expression.
"The bluestone coffin is the most dangerous thing in history!"
"Even the '犼' back then was far behind!"
"I just don't know what its purpose is in going deep into the underground palace of the dead... If two tigers are fighting, that's fine. If it's colluding with the evil god, I'll wait..."
In order to avoid affecting morale, the words "Even if we join forces, we are far outnumbered", we still did not say it out loud.
"It's a pity that my skills are limited, old man. It's impossible to deduce the existence of realms like theirs."
After everyone heard this, they all fell into silence.
In the face of absolute strength, the weaker party often feels a deep sense of powerlessness.
Fortunately, the people present were all powerful, and their minds were naturally unparalleled, so there was no such thing as "the tree fell and the hozen scattered".
After a moment, Zhang Jiao slowly spoke.
"For the time being, regardless of the purpose of the blue stone coffin, since it took the initiative to enter the urn, we might as well try to work together to suppress it here!"
"Even if we can't suppress it, we still have to delay it for as long as possible. It's best... until Xiaojiu fully grows up!"
"At that time, we will definitely be able to fight it together!!!"
Several people nodded deeply after hearing this: This is also the best solution that can be thought of at the moment.
Hua Jiu couldn't see everyone treating him like this, so he wanted to say something but didn't.
As the saying goes, there is no need to say thank you for a great favor, just keep some things in your heart.
Pretending to shirk or talk about each other's vows seems very hypocritical.
With this thought in his mind, Hua Jiunan solemnly clasped his fists and bowed deeply to everyone.
Zhang Jiao and others also smiled and returned the courtesy...No need to say anything else!
Note, China’s ancient guest etiquette: when a gentleman meets the host, the guest should treat the pheasant as zhi; when the lower official meets, the wild goose is called zhi; when the superior official meets, the lamb is called zhi.
That's why Ma Mingyang said, "Ti Yan and his lamb came to visit."
Zhi [Zhì], the original meaning refers to the gifts and greeting gifts given to people for the first time in ancient times. The extended meaning is to hold things in order to meet people and give them as gifts.
