Chapter 289: The Descendants of the Fang Family
Although he did not personally participate in the Battle of Heartbreak Valley, with Pu Zixuan's many vivid and conspicuous narratives, Zhu Yuanliang had already understood everything that happened at the turn of spring and summer, and could tell the whole story of the cause and effect.
Halfway through, Zhu Yeba did not interrupt, but was stunned when he heard Qin Yong become a rebel, and asked Zhu Yuanliang to pause for a moment, got up and took a gourd-shaped wine bottle from the kitchen, and started drinking while listening.
"...... It was not until May 15 that I finally lost my patience in the inn, so I knocked on the gate of the Fairy Sword Hall again and was able to meet with them. Pu Zixuan told me everything." At this point, Zhu Yuanliang paused for a while, thinking about the almost key issues had already been mentioned, and then sighed, "That's probably all."
Zhu Yeba held up the gourd and took a big sip. Seeing Zhu Yuanliang finishing his statement, he stared at Zhu Yuanliang with a little drunkenness, handed the gourd in his hand over and said, "Do you want wine?"
Zhu Yeba's tone is plain, but it is precisely this abnormal dullness that often contains even more terrifying power.
Zhu Yuanliang was stunned for a moment, but still took the gourd. Seeing that it was quite light, he judged that there was not much wine left in it. So he decisively put the last wine into his mouth, drank it all in one go, and said guiltily: "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhu, I've kept it hidden for so long. If you want to scold me, just scold me and scold me."
However, Zhu Yeba did not express too intense emotions as Zhu Yuanliang imagined. Instead, after learning the truth, he felt relieved. Perhaps because of the drunkenness, he actually smiled self-deprecatingly and murmured: "The person who was selected to guard the Xianying Palace will never have the chance to return to his hometown to meet his family, unless the family comes to visit him on his own initiative... I have been here for more than twenty years, and my father and Feng'er have never been here... They are still alive, what's the difference between them now? Forget it, since I came here, I have been mentally prepared to welcome such a day sooner or later. Fortunately, you guys come all the way to inform him, haha..."
After saying that, Zhu Yeba slowly stood up, patted Zhu Yuanliang on the shoulder, and then went to the corner of the wall to pick up Zhu Yuanzhi's howl, gently blew the dust on the sword body, and said to Yu Xiangdi: "Come on, take my Zhu Yuanzhi's howl, let's go outside the house to practice the demon-controlling sword technique."
Yu Xiangdi's keen intuition told him that Zhu Yeba was trying his best to control the emotions in his heart, so he said worry-free: "Mr. Zhu, it's okay, I'm not in a hurry. If you are uncomfortable, we can go outside to relax or something."
Zhu Yeba said in a deep voice: "For me, dancing a sword is the best relaxation."
Yu Xiangdi was worried that insisting on refusing would cause Zhu Yeba to have an attack, so he stopped saying a word and slowly raised his hand to take over Zhu Yuan's howl.
What the three of them did not expect was that just when Zhu Yuan's howl was passed to Yu Xiangdi's hand, suddenly, the sword body suddenly made a low sound, sounding extremely sad.
Yu Xiangdi held the hilt of the sword and asked at a loss: "What's going on? Why does this sword make such a sound?"
Zhu Yeba was also stunned and said in surprise: "This is the first time I have seen it! Strangely, this sword has never made a sound on its own!"
After saying that, Zhu Yeba took Zhu Yuanzhi's howl back from Yu Xiangdi's hand. After the sword left Yu Xiangdi's, his voice suddenly weakened and he quickly returned to his original state.
Zhu Yeba looked up and down at various parts of the sword and said in confusion: "It's so strange. This sword is so good, there's nothing strange." He said to Yu Xiangdi again, "Did you hurt you?"
Yu Xiangdi shook his head and said, "Apart from that sound, it didn't hurt me at all."
Zhu Yuanliang thought for a while and said, "Can you recognize your master? Once you fall into the hands of people who are not descendants of the Zhu family, you will use this method to issue an alarm?"
Zhu Yeba shook his head and said, "No, the friends of the turtle clan have touched this sword, and there has never been any strange thing."
"Maybe it's because they are monsters? Or I'll give it a try." Zhu Yuanliang said, and took Zhu Yuan's howl from Zhu Yeba with his right hand.
When the sword comes into your hand, everything is safe and sound.
Zhu Yuanliang handed the hilt of Zhu Yuanzhi's howling sword to Yu Xiangdi's hand and said, "Come on, you try again."
This time, Zhu Yuan's howl indeed made a mournful cry again.
"Hey, it's ringing! It's so evil!" Zhu Yuanliang sighed.
"Ha, our Zhu family, as a descendant of the True Dragon Emperor, has a little spiritual token. It seems that the howl of Zhu Yuan senses the difference between Yu Xiangdi. What do you want to tell us in this way?" After Zhu Yeba said to Zhu Yuanliang, he turned to Yu Xiangdi and asked, "Who are you? What does it have to do with our Zhu family?"
Yu Xiangdi carefully placed Zhu Yuanzhi's howl on the ground so that it would stop ringing. After a sigh, he murmured: "Are we still destined to have no chance with the Zhu family after so many years?"
After that, there was another terrible silence.
Although Zhu Yeba was a little drunk, he was still sober. Seeing that Yu Xiangdi seemed to have something to hide, he leaned over and picked up Zhu Yuanzhi and said, "Do you need to talk alone?"
Although Zhu Yuanliang was extremely curious, he immediately became tactful after hearing this, and said, "Haha, so that's it. Then I'll go back first, you guys chat slowly."
"No, brother Zhu, I don't mean that." Yu Xiangdi reached out to stop Zhu Yuanliang who was about to leave, and said, "My Zhu family and I do have some complicated relationships. I originally thought I didn't need to face this problem, but it seems that if I don't explain some things, Mr. Zhu would not be able to pass on my demon-controlling sword technique with peace of mind..."
Zhu Yeba sneered: "I laughed out the tragedy of my family that Zhu Xianfeng just told me. What else can I not accept?"
Yu Xiangdi then said slowly: "I am a descendant of Fang Xiaoru - the descendant of Fang Xiaoru who was killed by Zhu Di, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty..."
Zhu Yeba was indeed stunned and asked, "What? Fang Xiaoru actually has descendants? And, aren't your surname Yu?"
"Yes, everyone knows that on the New Year's Eve more than 400 years ago, 873 people from the Fang family were brutally massacred at home. However, in fact, the local prefect admired Fang Xiaoru's character and quietly let him go, a seven-year-old son. The youngest son fled to Qing Village, Fengxian County, and joined a family named Yu. From then on, he changed to Yu. I am his 21st generation descendant." Yu Xiangdi said to Zhu Yeba in a righteous voice, "Mr. Zhu, this is the origin of me and the Zhu family. Yes, there is indeed a deep blood hatred between our ancestors. If it weren't for learning the sword technique of controlling demons, I wouldn't have come here to meet you. Now the old demon in Heishan is dead, and the family feud has been avenged. Mr. Zhu also knows my life experience. I am willing to teach me sword technique now, but it's okay."
"So that's it. Although the demon-controlling sword technique is not a method that cannot be passed down, since you are a descendant of Fang Xiaoru, even if I am willing to teach you, it seems that this holy sword is unwilling to agree. I cannot disobey the ancestors' wishes. Sorry." After Zhu Yeba said that, he sighed deeply, turned his back to Yu Xiangdi, and said no more.
"It's okay, I should say sorry, it's me who caused many troubles to Mr. Zhu. I've disturbed me, so I'll say goodbye." After saying that, Yu Xiangdi stood up and wanted to walk outside the house.
Seeing the awkward conversation between the two, Zhu Yuanliang was not inconvenient to stay for a long time. He stood up and followed Yu Xiangdi, pretending to be relaxed: "Then let's do it today, go back to sleep, go to bed."
Unexpectedly, just as Yu Xiangdi walked out the door, Zhu Yuanzhi's howl whine again, and the sound was even louder than the previous two times.
"Stay on, two." Zhu Yeba turned around and called out to the two.
Amid the sarcasm, Yu Xiangdi turned around and asked, "What else does Mr. Zhu have to give me advice?"
"Perhaps, we all misunderstood its original intention." Zhu Yeba smiled and said, "Although Chengzu is great, it is not as great as Taizu. The hatred between Chengzu and Fang Xiaoru cannot represent Taizu's original intention. Perhaps, Taizu's rebirth will also feel unfair for Fang Xiaoru."
Zhu Yuanliang was already quite familiar with the history of the Ming Dynasty when the peasant uprising was founded. When he heard this, he suddenly realized: "Yes, yes, Zhu Yuanzhang clearly asked his grandson Zhu Yunwen to inherit the throne. Then Zhu Di just stole the country from Zhu Yunwen. It was in order to maintain Zhu Yuanzhang's authority that Fang Xiaoru called Zhu Di for "the king of Yan usurped the throne" and was executed by the ten clans. If he didn't do it well, if Zhu Yuanzhang reborn, he would want to slap Zhu Di with his ears!"
At this time, the howling of Zhu Yuan was getting more and more harsh, as if he was agreeing with Zhu Yuanliang's statement.
Zhu Yeba covered his ears and shouted, "That must be what it means! This Xianying Palace is the holy place in Taizu's heart. Taizu hopes to express his gratitude to the loyalty of the other party here. Hurry up, Yu Xiangdi, transform the Howling Spirit of Zhu Yuan into your body!"
Yu Xiangdi whispered loudly: "What if you are wrong?"
"No, you believe my judgment! Hurry, otherwise if you keep going like this, the Yinggong might collapse!"
"Okay, I understand!"
Yu Xiangdi stopped talking, ran the small Zhoutian and turned Zhu Yuan's howling spirit into a blue light and sucked it into his body.
In an instant, a blue light flashed through the sky above Xianying Palace, and then a huge sarcastic cry ended abruptly.
Yu Xiangdi exclaimed: "Oh my god, I haven't done anything, but I already fully understand the magic sword technique!"
