Chapter 237 The old man on the stream, the fish in the cave (Part 1)
Jungle County.
Milin County has flat terrain, fertile land, and a population of 560,000. For a county that was founded less than 20 years ago, it is indeed a large population.
The Yu family is the largest and only landowner in Milin County. The land is completely the private property of ordinary children of the Yu family. The tenants and farmers on the land are all privately owned by these people. An ordinary son of the Yu family can also do this.
When you go to many places in Lianyungang, you will find wives and concubines in groups.
And one of the few prosperous ones is the dense forest city. Under the main peak of the Yu family in the dense forest, it is still bloody, like a man-eating beast, quietly dormant on the earth.
Yu Mugao sat quietly in the luxurious hall at the top, with a group of monks at his feet waiting silently for him to speak, but Yu Mugao said nothing and only looked at them.
Yu Xiaogui had already gone to Xianyou Peak to attend Xiao Chuting's Dharma Assembly. The families in the east became restless. Yu Mugao was interrupted from his practice again. Looking at the group of obedient brothers and nephews, his
Anger was about to burst out of his chest, but he could only hold it in.
"The common people are displaced and exchange their children for food. My children drink wine and throw pots, beat their jigs and sing joyfully, whip the tenant farmers and laugh endlessly. The butcher has a dog's head but human flesh underneath."
Yu Mugao stood up slowly, walked out of the hall, and looked at the dense forest county under the night. The thoughts that had appeared countless times arose in Yu Mugao's mind. He felt a chill running down his spine and asked himself silently.
"Is this a fairy family or a demon realm?"
A deep sense of powerlessness swirled in his mind. Yu Mugao was a vicious and sinister character, but he never had the idea of torturing the people or indulging his tribe, but now he had to watch all this happen in front of him.
Yu Mugao was not the culprit. The Yu family was like this when he took it into his hands. Even if he just wanted to change a little, the resisting forces involved an entire interest group, headed by his father and even the sitting man.
The ancestors in the cave.
He silently raised his head and looked at the highest point of the cave. His sharp eyes seemed to have penetrated the wooden and stone walls and saw the old man sitting cross-legged.
"Last year last year, a catty of human flesh cost three cents, but now I only have two cents left..."
"Grandpa, what exactly do you want to do?"
————
In the gloomy cave, drops of blood flowed down. Yu Yufeng stretched out his red palms and soaked them in the small depression formed by the blood, and silently raised his palms.
After the routine tempering, Yu Yufeng readjusted his breath and entered concentration, but he was still unable to enter concentration. He was very agitated. He stroked his hands on the wall and wiped down a patch of lime. His eyes were reddish and his voice was fierce.
murmured:
"Xiao Chuting...how is it possible! How is it possible that it became the Zi Mansion?"
He was a figure of the same era as Xiao Chuting. He had many battles with Xiao Chuting back then, and both had their own victories and defeats. He was even better than Xiao Chuting in terms of cultivation. He never thought that by focusing on cultivation these years, Xiao Chuting would be disappointed.
The court surpassed the past.
Yu Yufeng raised his hands and observed carefully. There was still a faint sword mark in each of his two palms, which made him more and more anxious. Tears fell from his eyes and he murmured:
"Okay, okay, you are a genius, you are so arrogant, you can cut off people's paths with just one sword...Why! Why!"
After roaring for a while in the cave, Yu Yufeng finished venting his emotions and sat cross-legged again. Unexpectedly, the burst of catharsis made him feel clearer and more settled. For a while, there was a faint music in his ears, as if a villain was beating a gong.
Play the drums and create waves of wonderful music.
"good chance."
Yu Yufeng unknowingly became more and more enchanted, feeling refreshed and overjoyed. A wave of enlightenment arose in his heart. Through many forests and roads, a small hill appeared in front of his eyes.
"This is...an opportunity for a breakthrough!!"
Two colored lights appeared on the back of Yu Yufeng's white-haired head, and they were fleeting, but he didn't notice it. His eyes were a little cloudy. He was overjoyed for a moment, kicked open the stone door, rode the wind, and landed on the ground.
In the main hall.
Yu Mugao was staring blankly at the night sky, but he didn't expect an old man with a withered body and disheveled white hair to appear in front of him. He was immediately horrified. He quickly lowered his head to cover up the strange look in his eyes, and bowed respectfully:
"I've met my ancestor!"
The uncles and nephews behind him looked at each other, panicked for a while, fell to their knees one after another, and said respectfully:
"I've met my ancestor!!"
"Um."
Yu Yufeng slowly squinted his eyes, looked at Yu Mugao who was kneeling at his feet with a strange look on his face, and whispered:
"Hasn't Yu Xiaogui come back yet?"
"Back to my ancestors, I never did."
Yu Mugao answered respectfully. The uncles and nephews below were looking at each other, thinking that Yu Yufeng must have made a big breakthrough when he came out of seclusion. However, Yu Mugao felt quite uneasy and raised his head hesitantly.
He said in a low voice:
"Did the ancestor have a breakthrough when he came out of seclusion this time?"
"Yes and no."
When Yu Yufeng talked about this, he became very excited, laughed loudly, and replied:
"During this retreat, I accidentally gained enlightenment. I felt refreshed and understood the opportunity for my breakthrough! Woohoo! Good luck!"
"I wish my ancestors the opportunity to realize their wisdom, and the Purple Mansion is in sight."
All of Yu Mugao's uncles, nephews and brothers immediately kowtowed and shouted respectfully, making Yu Yu's face become more and more proud and she nodded slowly.
But when Yu Mugao looked at Yu Yufeng's exaggerated expression, he felt more and more something was wrong. He secretly became suspicious and said respectfully:
"Congratulations to our ancestors for understanding the secrets of heaven, and the Purple Mansion is in sight... This understanding of the secrets of heaven is something that was only heard in ancient times. It was all achieved by the first-class Taoist Immortal Body. It has not been heard of for hundreds of years.
It’s really earth-shattering that our ancestor has gained enlightenment this time!”
Yu Mugao deliberately said something weird and secretly reminded Yu Yufeng, but Yu Yufeng didn't hear it at all. He thought he was saying flattery, laughed and said proudly:
"That's the way it is!"
This sentence was beyond words that a foundation-building ancestor could say. It suddenly sounded like thunder in Yu Mugao's mind. He had seen Yu Yufeng before, and he was definitely not the arrogant and restless person in front of him. Alarm bells rang in his heart.
, shouted:
"Ancestor, don't fall victim to other people's spells!!"
The words rang next to Yu Yufeng's ears. Yu Yufeng paused slightly, and his eyes only brightened for a moment. As a white jade fishing rod thousands of miles away was gently lifted, Yu Yufeng's eyes suddenly became cloudy again.
shouted angrily:
"Junior is so timid and frightened that he actually wants to block my path!"
So the gray long sleeves were swept away, and Yu Mugao was hit so hard that stars popped out of his eyes, he vomited blood, rolled on the ground three times, spit out two teeth, and softened with all his magic power. Yu Yufeng said coldly:
"Small punishments and big warnings, remember it yourself!"
So he rode the wind and headed east. Yu Mugao on the ground was covered in dust and his face was covered with blood, but he still shouted to himself, cried and screamed, ran and fell, and cried:
"You can't go, Ancestor! You can't go! Ancestor! Ancestor! You can't go -"
