Volume Four, Three Southern Counties, Chapter 363, The Talents of the Pillars
"The old general is ridiculously complimentary. How virtuous and capable is this young man? He can be worthy of the evaluation of the old general as a pillar of talent." Lu Jiuzhang said humbly.
"Hahaha, warriors don't talk about nonsense."
Xuan Wuyun waved his hand, "Since I said you deserve it, you can definitely be worthy of this evaluation."
"By the way, does the old general know the whereabouts of the little murderer Xuanji?" Lu Jiuzhang asked.
Before entering the demon realm, he heard that the little murderer Xuanji was forced into the black mist ruins and his whereabouts were unknown.
"Little God of Killing? This title given to him is simply a waste. How can he be worthy of the title of God of Killing?" Xuan Wuyun was a little dissatisfied with this title.
On the one hand, because his grandson is young, this sentence seems to be flattering.
On the other hand, it was because the old general Xuan Wuyun felt that the title of God of Death was too important, and his grandson Xuanji really didn't deserve it!
"As for his whereabouts, I heard that he came out of the black mist ruins, but no one knows where he went after that." The old general was not worried about the mystery, "Life and death are determined by fate and wealth. If we, the descendants of the Xuan family, can survive before we die,
Kill more monsters, and you will be the general of the Xuan family."
He has a strong family tradition and takes killing monsters as his own duty.
There were not many families like Laojun in the Zhou Dynasty.
However, most aristocratic families have been fighting for power and profit, fearing that they will receive less benefit.
"The old general is the real pillar of talent!"
Lu Jiuzhang said with emotion.
If there are many such people, how can the new emperor worry about chaos in Nanxiang County?
Why worry about demon invasion?
"What are your plans next?" the old general asked.
"Wait in Jiangshui County for another two days. After those warriors arrive here, I will lead a few leaders to Jingzhao Mansion to ask the new emperor for an explanation."
Lu Jiuzhang said slowly.
"These warriors guarded the borders and killed monsters for the Zhou Dynasty, but in the end they ended up like this. I know that the new emperor has his own difficulties, but he cannot sit idly by and ignore them."
"I have to give these people an explanation, otherwise I won't be able to sleep well."
Old General Xuan Wuyun nodded, "This is indeed what we should do. But I am curious, are you a gentleman or..."
"Old General, I know what you mean. Ask me whether I am a gentleman or a villain. In fact, I am not a gentleman, let alone a villain. I am just an ordinary person with the same temperament as ordinary people!"
“Aren’t these ordinary people the most numerous in the world?”
"Sages and gentlemen are endowed with moral meanings, which is like a layer of shackles on their bodies. I am not used to it and feel uncomfortable. As for villains, I, Lu Jiuzhang, think that I still have some blood and will not be so corrupted."
Lu Jiuzhang smiled.
If a person can be cautious all his life and only do good deeds, then he can be called a gentleman and a wise man.
Lu Jiuzhang asked himself, he couldn't reach this level.
"Hahaha, this is the best answer I have ever heard."
The old general laughed and said, "Okay, I won't bother you anymore. I'll leave first and you can have a good rest."
After that, the old general left.
He returned to his mansion and walked straight to the backyard.
There is a house in the backyard, and a ban is set up inside. No one except the old general is allowed to enter.
Stepping into the forbidden area, there is murderous intention inside.
The old general was extremely familiar with this place.
Pushing open the door to the backyard, the old general stepped into the central hall.
I saw a particularly large jar placed in the middle hall.
The jar was covered tightly and a lid was sealed.
The lid had a small circular opening, and a human head protruded from the small opening.
He was a young man who had just grown up.
His face was just pale, and his lips didn't have much color.
"Lu Jiuzhang came back from the Demon Realm. He broke through the Demon Realm. The entire younger generation of the Demon Clan is the only one who can surpass the fifth level of martial arts."
Old General Xuan Wuyun said, "When he comes back, he will bring tens of thousands of warriors from the trial field back safely. You can rest assured."
"It's a good thing!"
The pale young man said slowly, "I also want to save those people, but I can't. If he can do it, it proves that he is stronger than me."
"Why!"
The old general Xuan Wuyun sighed, "I know you are still blaming me for not saving all the remaining people, but I am in trouble too! In that situation, who can be alone?"
"It's just a deal. If they don't let go, I'm afraid you won't be able to come back."
"Our Xuan family is full of loyalists. Your father and uncles all died in the war. If you die again, I'm afraid the Xuan family will have no heirs. I did it for my own selfish reasons, but I didn't expect so many people to lose their lives."
The old general feels guilty!
I feel bad!
But he had to do it.
Seeing his grandson, who was so high-spirited in the past, now like this, Xuan Wuyun felt even more painful in his heart.
"Grandpa, I want to rest!"
A sad smile appeared on the face of the little murderer Xuanji.
"Okay, you have a good rest." Old General Xuan Wuyun nodded, "I sealed your body with a secret method, and supplemented it with monster essence blood and great medicine. I estimate that in a few days, you will be able to completely heal
back to normal."
"Lu Jiuzhang plans to go to Jingzhao Mansion soon. You should go with him."
"Then Lu Jiuzhang is a man with great opportunities. You won't make mistakes easily by following him."
After saying that, the old general Xuan Wuyun left the room.
In the room, Xuanji looked sad.
That day, he was forced into the black mist ruins by a powerful monster.
That is the territory of Xuyun Sect.
How could they, a group of young people, be the opponents of a group of old antiques? They were captured one after another.
Then, Pei Yunzhang used him to threaten the old general Xuan Wuyun.
On the battlefield, the old general Xuan Wuyun still took a step back, resulting in a disastrous defeat for the army.
Most of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers fell on the battlefield.
Of course, even if the old general Xuan Wuyun refuses to retreat, many soldiers will die.
The warriors of Xuyun Sect are too powerful!
But no matter what, the old general Xuan Wuyun did it for his own selfish interests.
In addition, the other two top ten demon-slaying guards who were captured along with Xuan Wuyun also died.
In the end, only Xuan Wuyun survived.
The meridians were cut off, the body was destroyed, and in the end only a head was left.
Then, the old general used countless heavenly materials and earthly treasures to reshape his body and barely allowed him to survive.
Xuan Ji was about to die, but the old general Xuan Wuyun said that if he was allowed to live, he should at least avenge his comrades.
After holding back his hatred, Xuanji's mood finally calmed down a little.
This is the reason why Xuanji survives.
But harboring hatred all the time is not a good thing.
It’s possible for people to go crazy!
The old general Xuan Wuyun asked his grandson Xuanji to follow Lu Jiuzhang north to Jingzhao Mansion, with the intention of letting Lu Jiuzhang enlighten his grandson.
At least get a glimpse of the outside world and relax your mood.
As for the things ahead, the old general Xuan Wuyun has already laid the groundwork.
Tell Lu Jiuzhang that Xuan Wuyun escaped from the black mist ruins, but disappeared.
When he showed up again, he said he had taken a detour and escaped by luck.
There should be no problem with this statement. This chapter has been completed!
