Chapter 323: Loyalty and Filial Piety Are Difficult to Reach Both Ends
Three...it's gonna be fatal.
Lu Sen really wanted to say that, but it wasn’t necessary yet. The Qingqiu Fox had a special talent bonus in dual cultivation.
Honestly speaking, as he took turns fighting with the three foxes and mandarin ducks, his physical fitness was slowly improving under the influence of the dual cultivation technique.
It’s just… after doing it so many times, my hands and feet feel a little weak. Even the Qingqiu Fox’s energy-replenishing method can’t quite keep up with the consumption.
However, Lu Sen thought about it for a while and realized that Xianxian and the others were still worried about the large-scale death of their tribesmen. It didn't seem like a bad idea to take the three of them out for a walk together.
"Then go tell Xianxian." Lu Sen patted the fleshiest part of Wo Wo's back and said, "Let's set off in three days. You can discuss where to go to relax after you finish your work!"
"Okay!" Although Wo Wo agreed, she still stayed in Lu Sen's arms and didn't leave: "But today it's my turn, sir, you have to treat everyone equally."
Lu Sen took a deep breath, with a heroic expression: "Witch, don't be so arrogant."
Wo Wo let out a loud and arrogant laugh, and a giant fox tail ball wrapped up the two of them.
Time soon came to evening.
At the back of the mountain, Shi Lei brought Duan Wanjun to the foot of the mountain. Behind them were a dozen women from the Duan family.
As for Yaoyao and Kunkun, they are still on the top of the mountain. It is probably time for them to return to the main peak.
As they were about to leave the system home, Shi Lei bowed and said, "Miss Duan, this place is not far from the Duan family. I won't see you off, otherwise it will be bad for your reputation."
Duan Wanjun lowered her head and dared not look at anyone. Her face was as red as rouge. She could only nod. As for what Shi Lei said, she could not hear anything at all.
I was totally ashamed and frightened.
Seeing that she didn't move, several women came over and took Duan Wanjun away.
As he walked, he asked, "What did Fang do when you two were alone to make his face so red."
After the women walked away, Shi Lei also felt his heart beating faster.
When they were alone just now, they couldn't help but hug each other for a while.
Although Shi Lei was a frequent visitor to brothels, he had only seen the "graceful and elegant" ladies there, but he had never seen an innocent young lady like Duan Wanjun who was shy and willing to accept something.
This made Shi Lei fall in love.
"It turns out that Madam Qingbai is really different from Miss." Shi Lei looked at Duan Wanjun who looked back every three steps, reluctant to leave, and whispered, "Shi Lei will never abandon you in this life."
In the past, every time he had sex with a young lady in a brothel, he would feel endless emptiness.
But now... just by holding hands and hugging the young lady from the Duan family, I already feel a sense of fulfillment as if I own the whole world.
He shook his head, throwing away the emotion, and said self-deprecatingly as he walked, "If Master knew that I was so easily moved, I'd be scolded for it."
Lu Sen is Shi Lei's "idol", although there is no such word now, but the meaning is conveyed.
My idol is surrounded by beautiful girls, but I, as his disciple, am thinking about being with him forever. Will this bring down the reputation of my master?
Walking slowly, he soon returned to the mountain gate. Just as he was about to go back to his room to rest, he saw someone sitting on the railing next to the training platform at the mountain gate, drinking alone while gazing at the moon.
At first I thought it was one of the family generals, but when I got closer, I found it was Heizhu.
Shi Lei walked over slowly, clasped his fists and asked , "Brother Heizhu, you look like you're not in a good mood."
Although he is Lu Sen's disciple, Shi Lei does not dare to underestimate Hei Zhu and Jin Lingqin.
From what he observed, although Heizhu and Ringo were nominally servants, Lu Sen treated them as his own family.
But I dare not treat him as a servant.
Hei Zhu heard the voice and stood up and bowed: "It turned out to be Da Lang."
In this world, a teacher is like a father and a disciple is like a son. So there is nothing wrong with Heizhu calling Shi Lei "Da Lang".
"Why is Brother Heizhu so depressed?" Shi Lei didn't know what was going on.
Hei Zhu immediately explained the whole story, and then said, "It seems that this matter will make it difficult for you, my lord."
After listening, Shi Lei asked: "Actually, this matter can be big or small."
Hei Zhu clasped his fists and said, "Please teach me, Dalang!"
"Master doesn't care about other people's opinions. What he is really worried about is you, Brother Heizhu." Shi Lei considered his words and said slowly, "Master treats you like a family member. Brother Heizhu, whether you return to your roots or stay here, he will be very happy."
Heizhu continued to listen quietly.
Shi Lei sat down and continued, "But if Brother Heizhu returns to his ancestral home, even if he doesn't leave, Master will probably feel a little sad."
Heizhu's eyes were shining.
"Although outsiders say that Master has become a true immortal, those of us who are close to him understand that Master is not practicing the path of ruthlessness. He has the seven emotions and six desires of ordinary people."
Hei Zhu stood up and grabbed Shi Lei's hand tightly: "Da Lang, continue talking."
"If you want to solve the problem once and for all, you can do this." Shi Lei whispered in Hei Zhu's ear for a long time.
Heizhu was stunned at first, then he became ecstatic and shouted repeatedly: "Not bad, not bad, this is a good idea. I will go out now, and I would like to trouble Dalang to protect me."
"Okay, okay." Shi Lei followed behind.
The two men rode their horses and rushed quickly towards Hangzhou City.
At this time, the moon was full in Xihe Inn and the lights were bright.
In fact, even if no candles are lit, the solar boat above Hangzhou City can still light up the entire city like daylight.
There were two groups of people sitting in the lobby on the first floor of the inn.
The door was wide open, and there were many onlookers outside on the street, but no one went into the inn.
Because they all knew that Madam Yang from the System Gate was booking the entire place to discuss serious matters with someone.
The door was left wide open to avoid suspicion.
There was a huge mahogany square table, with Yang Jinhua sitting at the main seat, and Pang Meir and Zhao Bilian sitting at the side seats next to it.
Opposite the square table, sat a group of men and women, young and old.
Yang Jinhua looked like a young girl, but she sat as upright as a bell, giving people the feeling of oppression from a great general.
The glazed phoenix hairpin on her head swayed gently, flashing a heart-pounding five-color luster.
The group of Tang family members opposite them all looked nervous and didn't dare to look Yang Jinhua in the face.
"Whether Heizhu is willing to recognize his ancestors, we can discuss this matter slowly." Yang Jinhua said calmly: "But no matter what, Heizhu will not follow you back to Zhongzhou Prefecture. He is a member of the Lu family in life and a ghost of the Lu family in death."
When these words were spoken, instead of getting angry, the other side showed joy on their faces.
When the news spread outside the inn, many people felt puzzled, but then they took it for granted.
If Heizhu was a beautiful man, Yang Jinhua's words would be suspected of kidnapping someone for her husband, but since Heizhu is a man, there would be no such problem.
Besides, the origin of the black pillar is not a secret.
A beggar from Bian Jing was fortunate enough to be valued by Master Lu and became his housekeeper, with no worries about food, clothing or other expenses. With such generous treatment, it would be unreasonable .
An old man came out from the opposite side, bowed and said, "I am Tang Xing, nice to meet Madam Yang. My Tang family also has something to say about this matter."
"Please." Yang Jinhua said generously.
"Tang Xiu, now known as Hei Zhu, lost his father to illness ten years ago, and now only his mother is left at home. If Hei Zhu cannot recognize his ancestors and return to his hometown to have children, his lineage will be extinct."
Yang Jinhua frowned as she listened.
Filial piety is extremely important at this time, and having no descendants is the most vicious curse and the greatest act of filial piety.
"So how are you going to handle this?"
"Can we let Tang Xiu go back home with us first?" The old man had few teeth left, and spoke slowly but methodically: "Our Tang family elders will find him a woman who can give birth. After he gives birth to two or three fat babies, we will let him come back and continue to serve Master Lu. Is that okay?"
Yang Jinhua narrowed her eyes, looking extremely unhappy.
At this time Pang Meier said: "But Heizhu is gone. If he comes back in a few years, my husband may not treat him the same way as before. Aren't you harming Heizhu by doing this? How can you treat your elders like this?"
Tang Xing stroked his beard and retorted slowly: "It may offend Master Lu, but at least it can leave a bloodline for Tang Xiu."
Pang Meier continued to laugh and said, "It's amazing. This conspiracy of using justice to advance the cause is not something that ordinary people can come up with. Who is behind you?"
"Madam, please don't spit blood at me. We are here just for Tang Xiu. We dare not be an enemy of the real person."
"You don't dare?" Pang Mei'er snorted, "I think you are very brave."
Yang Jinhua raised her hand, and the guards next to her captured half of the group of people and took them back for interrogation.
Bilian also stood up, looking excited. She had already made up her mind. If these people dared to resist, she would use her Ten Thousand Swords Technique to stab them with hundreds of bloody holes.
The Tang family members on the opposite side became a little nervous when they saw that Yang Jinhua seemed to be about to take action, but no one begged for mercy.
But at this moment, two people squeezed in from outside, they were Hei Zhu and Shi Lei.
As soon as Hei Zhu came in, he knelt down in front of the three mistresses and said, "I am a bad person. I caused the young master and the mistresses to fight over my affairs. This matter was caused by me, and I should also be the one to put an end to it."
Yang Jinhua looked at him and said, "Heizhu, what are you going to do?"
Hei Zhu turned his body towards the Tang family, continued to kneel, and asked: "Excuse me, which one is my biological mother?"
At this time, an old lady with very high cheekbones came out and said, "I am you."
The look in her eyes when she looked at Heizhu was not filled with pity or affection, but only a hint of greed. Although it was concealed very well, some smart people could still see it.
After a closer look, everyone inside and outside the room discovered that the black pillar did bear some resemblance to the woman.
"Mother, please accept my son's greeting." After saying this, Heizhu kowtowed heavily, and his forehead suddenly became bruised and swollen.
The old man stroked his beard and smiled, "Very good, as long as you are willing to return to your roots. Master Lu's tradition is very good, and he has taught you well."
Hearing this, the people inside and outside the house, as well as the onlookers, all frowned.
"I, Tang Xiu, am standing here now and have something to say. The elders and fellow villagers present here are all witnesses of this." At this time, Hei Zhu took out a very long dagger, which was very sharp and was a synthetic equipment.
"It's hard to repay the kindness of giving birth to me, but it's even harder to repay the kindness of raising me." Hei Zhu put the dagger against his chest: "Although I am a humble person, I also understand the principles of gratitude. Since ancient times, it has been difficult to be both loyal and filial. Now I will cut off my bones to repay my father, and cut off my flesh to repay my mother!"
After saying that, without waiting for others to react, he slashed the dagger downwards, and a large piece of flesh was peeled off. Blood spurted out, but Heizhu didn't even frown.
After a brief silence, shrill screams came one after another.
Then the black column continued and made a second cut.
