Great Xuanwu Sheng

Chapter 262 No one is destined to be superior

Just when all parties in Yu County were shaking.

Chen Mu, who everyone thought was in seclusion to suppress his demonic energy, was leisurely walking to the courtyard to the east of the Yu family's residence.

This is an ancient courtyard. The courtyard is very spacious. On a deck chair in the center of the courtyard, an old man with white hair and beard is lying there basking in the sun. Suddenly, several kingfishers flew over his shoulders, chirping.

The old man stretched out his hand leisurely, grabbed a handful of grains from the side, and spread it in his palm. Several kingfishers fluttered over and landed next to his palm, pecking away at them. The scenery was harmonious.

 “The old man is very leisurely now.”

Chen Mu stepped into the courtyard and spoke leisurely to Yu Jiujiang who was sitting on the recliner.

Several kingfishers seemed not to notice Chen Mu's appearance at all. Even when Chen Mu came all the way up, none of them flew away. They were still pecking at the grains. One of them looked at it in confusion after pecking a few times. He looked at Chen Mu, then fluttered his wings a few times, flew to Chen Mu's shoulder, and looked up and down at Chen Mu doubtfully.

In the eyes of the kingfisher, Chen Mu seemed to be just a small tree, but it was strange how this small tree suddenly appeared.

"Who do I think you are, coming here to look at me, a rotten old man who is about to die... I'm afraid your ability to control your breath has far surpassed that of when I was young. I can't even feel your presence in this courtyard." .”

Yu Jiujiang looked at Chen Mu with a smile, his eyes full of emotion.

 “I learned some dirty tricks and made the old man laugh.”

If I have to say it, Yu Jiujiang actually still has some strength today. After all, the second step of Kanshui's artistic conception will not decline, but after Yuan Gang dissipates, his mobility is greatly reduced. Even if he can still mobilize some power of heaven and earth, but As long as a person in the Bone Forging Realm doesn't get too close to him and keeps a certain distance, he can't do anything to him.

At this point, Yu Jiujiang did not continue his story, but changed his tone and said: "You should have already suspected someone, right? Now the investigation has found the results?"

For so many years, as the Dinghai God needle of the Yu family, he has been secretly protecting him many times in the past. Now he has finally been old. He is already an ordinary old man who has intended to Anu for the last period of years.

"Um."

However, if there is no demonic erosion, even if Chen Mu is on the path of Qiankun, he might have a good chance of attacking the entrance. Now that he is delayed, the chance of becoming a master is slim. Although Chen Mu's current status is not that good for him. For him and even the entire Yu family, it was already far enough high, but how could he not hope that Chen Mu could reach even higher.

However, the Yu family no longer needs his protection. Although Chen Mu moved out of the Yu family's residence after his wedding and did not settle in the Yu family like Xu Yichuan did in the past, everyone knows the relationship between Chen Mu and the Yu family. Relations, especially after Chen Mu ascended to the prestigious list, the Yu family's status in Yu County has also been rising steadily. Although the overall power is still lower than that of the Xue family, the Xue family has to give in to the current Yu family.

However, precisely because the artistic conception would not fade, Yu Jiujiang saw Chen Mu again after nearly three years. He felt the aura on Chen Mu's body and was filled with emotions in his heart, because it was clear that Chen Mu was standing in front of him. The Kanshui artistic conception was fully activated, and Chen Mu's presence was not felt, as if there was nothing there.

Chen Mu said calmly.

Yu Jiujiang sighed and said: "You have entered the realm of the six internal organs, and you can indeed suppress the evil energy easily, but..."

certainly.

Yu Jiujiang nodded, then smiled with relief and said: "You came here not just to visit me, an old man, but what else is there? If you want to kill someone, old man, I am a little reluctant now, but I can still do it. Have some strength."

He is over ninety years old. Although he is a person in the Five Zang Realm and is trained in the Kanshui lineage, he has also entered his twilight years. As early as Chen Mu went to Qixuan Sect, his condition has been getting worse. Until last year, he was completely unable to maintain the Five Zangs. The inner energy circulation in the realm, Yuan Gang dissipated, and he was no longer the ancestor capable of protecting the Yu family, and became an ordinary old man with a slightly stronger body and bones.

 Can be seen, but not felt.

Chen Mu smiled at Yu Jiujiang. He was also sensing Yu Jiujiang's state. At this time, he could also feel that the old man in front of him had relatively strong Qi and blood. He had indeed broken off the Yuan Qi circulation with the outside world, and he also felt in his heart. Some sigh.

Chen Mu shook his head slightly and said: "Their timing was very accurate. All they wanted was for me to take action. In such a short period of time, it was too late to do anything else. However, I am not seriously injured, and the old man does not need to worry."

"well."

Yu Jiujiang looked at Chen Mu with a kind expression, suddenly looked around, his expression became calmer, and sighed: "I heard about what happened before, but it's a pity that my Yuan Gang has dispersed and my inner breath has faded. Otherwise, I, a bad old man, will be like this." Come and intercept that demonic energy for Hongyu so that you won’t be implicated.”

Just this depth of control over the power of heaven and earth has far exceeded him by an unknown amount.

 “Not yet, but soon.”

When I think that a few years ago, Chen Mu was a junior who had just joined the Yu family, and was only slightly outstanding, but now he is the number one rookie in Hanbei, and is chasing the master of the master list, he feels that there is nothing more dreamy than this. this.

Chen Mu smiled and said: "Old man, you have a strong body, but it is impossible for a small matter to disturb you. I came here to tell you whether I have any plans to arrange a bloodline of the Yu family to go to Yu." The state capital was settled.”

"This Yu County is located in a remote area, and the current situation is chaotic and mixed. It is no longer suitable for development. I plan to take Hongyu and the others to the state capital in a few days. I also want to ask the old man if you can go."

After listening to Chen Mu's words, Yu Jiujiang sighed: "The state capital is good. If you can go to the state capital, you should naturally go. You can just talk to Zuyi about this kind of thing. As for the old man, I... When I was young, I was one of the seven people in Yuzhou. I have been to all the counties, and when I grow old and the fallen leaves return to their roots, it’s good to stay here in Yu County, whether it’s chaos or peace.”

 In fact.

As early as when Yu County gradually became chaotic due to the entry of four major sects, the Yu family had the idea of ​​spreading out its branches. However, the Yu family was not strong enough after all, and the capital of Yuzhou was not as remote as Yu County, at least. He also had to be supported by people in the Five Zang Realm to be able to barely gain a foothold. Yu Jiujiang was getting older and was even more incapacitated.

 Chen Mu naturally has this ability after becoming a master of the list. Even his name alone is enough to arrange for a blood descendant of the Yu family to establish a foothold in the state capital. However, this kind of matter must be discussed with Chen Mu first.

Unexpectedly, Chen Mu took the initiative to mention this matter just after he came back.

 “Yeah, that’s good too.”

Chen Mu's reaction to Yu Jiujiang was not surprising. Yu Jiujiang was once a deacon of the Qixuan Sect and had been to various places in Yuzhou. At this age, it is normal for him not to go to the state capital again. After all, he was born in Yu County and grew up in Yuzhou. Yujun.

The Yu family has provided him with a lot of conveniences and assistance in his martial arts training. Now that he has an identity and ability, he naturally doesn't mind lending a helping hand and helping to arrange a bloodline for the Yu family. Establish a foothold in the state capital.

Chen Mu casually grabbed a handful of rice, fed the kingfisher squatting on his shoulder, and chatted with Yu Jiujiang for a few more words, when suddenly a crisp sound came from outside.

 “Grandpa.”

 “Grandpa.”

Several calls with different voices came from outside the door.

Since Yu Jiujiang has dispersed Yuan Gang's inner breath and no longer needs to rest to maintain his realm, he no longer stays behind the ancient courtyard all day like in the past, and also allows many younger members of the Yu family to come often to say hello.

"come in."

Yu Jiujiang spoke kindly to the outside of the hospital.

 Then a group of boys and girls were seen entering the courtyard. First they greeted Yu Jiujiang in a lively manner, and then someone noticed Chen Mu who was standing next to him, as if he didn't exist.

The people who came were basically the fourth generation of the Yu family. Some were much younger than Yu Ru. However, after seeing Chen Mu's brief shock, they all quickly recognized Chen Mu.

Although the Yu family has a great business, everyone from the direct descendants to the side branches are familiar with Chen Mu's name, even if some people only met Chen Mu once during their wedding a few years ago. , and it is impossible to forget.

“Brother Chen.” “Brother-in-law.”

Different calls came out, and their eyes were all shining with admiration.

Chen Mu's eyes passed over a group of young people and girls, but he paused for a moment on the leading woman.

 “Sister…Brother-in-law…”

Yu Yun noticed Chen Mu's gaze and her tone of voice was a bit stumbling. She was at a loss for a moment and even her face turned red. Thinking of the arrogant words she had said in front of Chen Mu in the past, she felt guilty at the moment.

Time has passed, and those early thoughts have long been forgotten. Every time I hear about Chen Mu, and think of the arrogance and nonsense I have said in front of Chen Mu in the past, I always feel hot on my face, even on Chen Mu’s wedding day. When we were here, we would always hide in the corner with our elders, but we didn’t expect to bump into them again here.

and.

 Chen Mu's status today is even greater than before. He is already a famous person in Hanbei, a figure comparable to Yan Jingqing.

Chen Mu naturally has an impression of Yu Yun, but at that time he didn't care much about her when she was just a teenage girl. Now of course he doesn't care much about her anymore, and he won't be so arrogant because of a few arrogant words he said many years ago. I lied and kept remembering that, in the final analysis, she was just a little girl who was born in a noble family and was a little too arrogant.

Nowadays, things have changed, and he is no longer as proud as before in front of him. Even facing him, he feels a little at a loss, shy and entangled. He seems to admire his brother-in-law, but he is embarrassed in his heart and does not dare to face him.

"It is a good thing to admire the strong. Only when everyone admires the strong can they have the ambition to make progress. However, people should be in awe and admire the strong and should not bully the weak. A thousand-year dynasty will also decay, and a century-old family will also return to dust. Even people of humble origins have their own power, and the unparalleled martial saints who dominate the world may also be born in the wilderness."

“He family, Yu family...even Qixuan Sect, Tianjian Sect, they all started from humble beginnings. No one is destined to be high in the world. Hundreds of years of strength are accumulated from one generation to the next.”

Chen Mu looked at Yu Yun, spoke softly, and then glanced at many other boys and girls.

Hearing Chen Mu's words, whether it was Yu Yun or some other junior members of the Yu family, they carefully lowered their heads, listened with open ears, and stood in front of Chen Mu in a dignified manner.

"Well said."

Yu Jiujiang sighed and said: "You should admire the strong but don't bully the weak. No one is destined to be superior, and nothing can be immortal forever. Be strong in your heart, but also have a heart of awe, be cautious and cautious, and pass it on from generation to generation. Only then can it last in the world for a long time.”

Chen Mu can be said to have hit the nail on the head.

So what about the He family, which stood at the top of Yu County and had governed thousands of miles of Yu County for hundreds of years, turned to dust overnight, and this was not because they had provoked some great and powerful person, Chen Mu at that time was far behind. They were not big shots, they just didn't have a sense of awe and never looked down on Chen Mu from beginning to end, and they perished in one day.

Those He family members who died, He Mingxuan, He Mingzhen, He Guangzong... They may not have imagined until the end that the He family's final outcome was not to perish in the hands of the Yu family, but in the hands of Chen Mu alone.

 “I will obey my brother-in-law’s teachings.”

 “I sincerely follow the teachings of my ancestors.”

Many boys and girls from the Yu family saluted one after another and spoke in low voices.

Yu Yun also blushed and followed the others to salute awkwardly, then looked at Chen Mu and stammered:

 “Brother-in-law, I...I...”

“Just remember what I said.”

Chen Mu spoke to her in a calm tone.

"Uh-huh."

Yu Yun nodded vigorously, knowing that Chen Mu was nodding to her, but not mentioning the past, which finally made her feel a little relieved. She looked at Chen Mu with awe and admiration in her eyes.

This is Chen Mu, the leader of the younger generation in the eleven Hanbei states, a peerless person who entered the prestigious list under the age of thirty. There is no other person in the Yu family who can have such magnanimity. Even now, she is still It feels dreamy.

even.

Now she just feels lucky that Chen Mu is Xu Hongyu's husband, her brother-in-law, and an in-law of the Yu family. Otherwise, if she thought about how arrogant and rude she was to Chen Mu at that time, she might be like the He family today. The whole Yu family was in trouble.

 “Okay, just remember it.”

Chen Mu looked at Yu Yun and nodded slightly, then turned his gaze to the others and said in a calm tone: "It's the same for you guys, don't be arrogant outside just because you have me as your brother-in-law."

　A group of boys and girls responded again and again.

 Chen Mu then converged his gaze, looked at Yu Jiujiang, his expression returned to easy-going, and said: "A little bit of advice, a little overstepped, and made the old man laugh."

Yu Jiujiang said with a smile: "You can discipline these incompetent juniors of the Yu family as you wish. Their elders are also eager for you to discipline them."

“Practice and mind cultivation all depend on the individual, and I can only give some advice and guidance.”

Chen Mu smiled and then said, "Okay, I'll talk to grandpa again and won't bother him anymore."

"Um."

Yu Jiujiang nodded slightly.

Chen Mu turned around and left the courtyard, and his figure quickly disappeared.

It wasn't until Chen Mu left that the tense atmosphere in the yard finally eased. A group of young people and girls from the direct lineage of the Yu family who had not dared to take a breath before breathed a sigh of relief. Look at me, look at you. .

“Grandpa Grandpa, Grandpa Grandpa, when did my brother-in-law come back to Yu County...after all, he is already a master of the rankings, and his momentum is much more intimidating than three years ago.”

 “I just came back not long ago.”

Yu Jiujiang lovingly touched a little girl’s head.

There were also people who secretly looked at Yu Yun. Someone beside Yu Yun whispered: "Sister Yun, why is my brother-in-law treating you... so strangely? What happened to you before..."

 “No, nothing.”

Yu Yun responded without thinking, and at the same time, she suddenly thought of Yu Ru in her heart, and felt a little envious for a moment. There was no difference between her and Yu Ru's relationship with Xu Hongyu, but Xu Hongyu took more care of Yu Ru, and now Chen Mu was also far away from Yu Ru. She was much closer.

In the past, when she was young, she was always jealous of her brothers and sisters at home who took more care of Yu Ru. But now that she is getting older, she understands a lot more and has nothing to be jealous of Yu Ru. After all, the distance between her and Chen Mu is also her own. Reason, besides being ashamed, there is also some remorse and regret.
