Volume Four, Three Southern Counties Chapter 435: Master Xu’s Fall
If he had not practiced Confucianism and Taoism many years ago, but instead practiced martial arts, maybe things would have been a little different.
Such Confucianism!
The deeper you go in, the more you can discover...
Why!
Just don’t say it.
"I only have one request, let my eldest disciple take that step." Master Xu said.
"If you take this step, you will die sooner."
The old man said.
"Don't all people die in the end? If we take this step now, we might still have a chance to live." Master Xu said.
"Since you want him to be a leek, then let him be a leek."
The old man waved his hand and continued to lie down.
Master Xu's illusory body quickly disintegrated and turned into specks of light, completely dissipating in the human world.
…
Western Desert.
Wu Rendi felt that the confinement disappeared, and he took this step with great ease.
At this moment, Wu Rendi broke through to the first level of Confucianism and Taoism and became the first Confucian and Taoist semi-sage in thousands of years.
"I should appear above Yiyun County."
As Wu Rendi finished speaking, he appeared on the battlefield the next second.
Another Confucian and Taoist second grade... No, this is a Confucian and Taoist first grade!
Pei Yunzhang was shocked, "Who are you?"
"Wu Rendi!"
"Invincible? With such a strange name, you have such a strong tone."
Pei Yunzhang shouted.
"A gentleman bullies him in every way! Use his words and tongue to destroy those who are obsessed with profit." Wu Rendi spit out lotus flowers, and a lotus sword flew out of his mouth and shot at Pei Yunzhang.
"retreat!"
Above the sky, an ancestor of the ruins sect discovered something unusual here, rushed down, grabbed Pei Yunzhang's body, and retreated more than three hundred miles.
As for the mountain peak where Pei Yunzhang was standing just now, it was razed to the ground by the bombardment of the lotus sword.
"withdraw!"
Pei Yunzhang's scalp was numb.
Something unexpected happened, and there was a strong Confucian and Taoist man.
In a short period of time, the entire battle situation changed.
Before the order to retreat was given, a large number of strong men retreated.
But Lu Jiuzhang, who was furious, ignored all this and risked his life to save a second-grade martial artist.
Lu Jiuzhang cut off an arm and beheaded this second-level martial artist.
Luo Fusheng fell from the sky.
Standing next to Lu Jiuzhang.
"Old Xu is a good man, what a pity." Luo Fusheng sighed.
"The blood debt will be repaid with blood!"
Lu Jiuzhang clenched the Frost Sky Blade in his hand.
"If I don't kill them, my surname will not be Lu in this life." Fourth senior brother Lu Junxian was even more furious.
"It is my duty to avenge my teacher."
In comparison, the second senior brother's tone was very calm.
But no one dared to question the determination of the second senior brother.
There are a total of five disciples and one disciple in Master Xu's lineage.
The third senior sister, Empress Zhou Yao, is not here, and the rest of the people are here.
…
Jingzhao Mansion, in the imperial palace.
Zhou Yao stepped out of the palace, and a group of golden-armored captains came to stop her.
But these golden-armored captains did not dare to attack Zhou Yao. Seeing that Zhou Yao kept fighting, they could only retreat.
Finally, Emperor Zhou Qian of Chang'an came over.
"Sister Huang, why is this?"
Chang'an Emperor Zhou Qian asked, "You have been staying here well, but you have to come out today."
"Does this constitute a violation of the rules? Don't force me to do anything to you."
"I want to leave the palace and go to Yiyun County!" Empress Zhou Yao said.
"Yiyun County? Lu Jiuzhang's territory? Why are you going there?" Chang'an Emperor Zhou Qian had a bad feeling in his heart. Could he want to meet Lu Jiuzhang, rekindle their brotherhood with Lu Jiuzhang, and take action against him?
"Master Xu has died, and I want to go and pay my respects!" Zhou Yao said.
"That's not possible. I can hold a grand funeral for Master Xu in Jingzhao Mansion, but you still can't leave the palace." Chang'an Emperor Zhou Qian refused.
"I am not asking for your consent, but I am informing you of my decision." Empress Zhou Yao looked at Zhou Qian coldly.
After her words fell, a giant hand appeared in the sky, dragging Zhou Yao back.
Then, the giant hand returned to the sky.
The old man in the city protection formation sent Zhou Yao outside Jingzhao Mansion.
Then, Zhou Yao went on her way alone.
One day later, Zhou Yao also appeared in Yiyun County.
Master Xu's lineage and disciples have finally gathered together.
"I want to see the teacher's relics." Zhou Yao said.
"In my tent."
Lu Jiuzhang led the way.
The group of people wore sackcloth and mourning to see their teacher off.
Although they defeated the demon clan and the strong men from Nanxiang County, everyone's mood was extremely low.
When they arrived at the Chinese military tent, Wu Rendi stood at the front.
The teacher is dead. He is the senior brother and has to shoulder many responsibilities.
"Bury the teacher here!"
Wu Rendi said.
"No, I think it's better to send the teacher back to Beilu County. The teacher is from Anxi Prefecture. After his death, he should return to his roots." Lu Junxian said.
"It is the teacher's wish to be buried here."
Unexpectedly, Wu Rendi did not favor the suggestion of his fourth junior brother Lu Junxian, but said, "If we leave Yiyun County at the same time, the Yao Clan and Nanxiang County may take advantage of it."
“Everything needs to be stable!”
"I agree with Senior Brother." Zhou Yao said, "This is what I mean. If you are not satisfied, you can come to me."
Zhou Yao said harsh words.
Two lines of clear tears appeared in the corners of her eyes.
The teacher is gone!
This is the person closest to her.
Growing up in the imperial palace, the late emperor had too many heirs, which meant that the empress Zhou Yao did not receive much love from the late emperor when she was a child.
Only Master Xu continued to teach me.
Senior Brother and Third Senior Sister both said so, and Lu Junxian did not dare to refute.
As for Lu Jiuzhang, Master Xu can actually be buried no matter where he is buried.
In front of his senior brothers and sisters, he has very little say.
From now on, paying homage and sweeping the grave every year should be the greatest comfort to the teacher.
"Don't make the tomb too troublesome, keep it as simple as possible." Wu Rendi continued to instruct, "The teacher didn't like big occasions when he was alive, let alone those pomps."
“Everything is easy!”
"The fourth and fifth junior brothers will dig the grave."
"The second junior brother and the third junior sister are waiting for guests. The teacher also had some friends during his lifetime."
"As for me, I plan to go to Shuizhou County."
"It's not that you have to charge a little interest to avenge the teacher."
The characters were arranged by senior brother Wu Rendi.
Everyone went about it in an orderly manner.
Lu Jiuzhang and Lu Junxian came to a high mountain and began to dig soil to build a tomb.
According to senior brother Wu Rendi, the tomb should be as simple as possible without any elaborate carvings.
But Lu Jiuzhang and Lu Junxian still tried their best.
In the past two days, a steady stream of scholars have gone to Yiyun County.
The great scholar from Dazhou Academy in Jingzhao Prefecture also came.
He had always been at odds with Master Xu, but when he learned that Master Xu was dead, he felt an inexplicable sadness in his heart.
There are not many old friends, and Master Xu must be one of them.
I just never thought that we would never see each other again after the last meeting. This chapter has been completed!
