Chapter 68: Entrusting Wife and Child to Give Qi and Blood
Chapter 68: Entrusting Wife and Child to Give Qi and Blood
"A beast, a beast that has not yet gotten rid of its wild nature."
He doesn't follow the rules and is cruel, what else could he be but a beast?
The disciples of Jianxiong Martial Arts School were shocked and angry.
Wu Yanyi was an inner courtyard disciple. Although he was the weakest, he was also a fellow disciple who learned martial arts from the master, but he ended up like this.
Letting the water out is one thing, but the nature of the matter changes when someone dies.
It is impossible for a martial arts school to allow its disciples to be beaten to death on its own territory, otherwise anyone could come and step on them in the future and the school would lose its reputation.
Everyone looked at Wang Jianxiong, waiting for him to speak.
"Mao Laoliu, someone died here, what do you say?"
Wang Jianxiong's face was as gloomy as water, and there was no sign of anger.
Mao Laoliu spoke up quickly, "In a martial arts competition, casualties are inevitable. Mao Lang had just started learning martial arts and didn't know how to control his strength. It was an accidental killing, an unintentional act."
He explained with sweat on his forehead, "Wang Lao Hu, I really didn't mean to embarrass you."
"You've seen it too. This kid can't control his murderous intent. I'm also trying to teach him a way."
Wang Jianxiong tapped the back of the chair with his fingers, looked back at Wu Yanyi lying on the ground, and shook his head.
He glanced at Zhou You who was closest to him and raised his chin, "Zhou You, take Wu Yanyi back to the house and get ready."
What are you preparing for? Of course, it's for the afterlife.
Zhou You looked around and realized that as he was the youngest in seniority, it was his responsibility to do the dirty work.
He bent down and picked up Wu Yanyi, trying his best to lift him up to prevent the rotten internal organs from flowing out of his abdominal cavity.
Only half of his body was left, and the attack was very gentle, causing Wu Yanyi to let out a groan.
"Take me back to my room. I can't die outside."
Dying in broad daylight without a roof over one's head is called sudden death in the local area, which is a dangerous and ominous way to die.
Zhou You carried Wu Yanyi back to his house, but found that the bleeding from the wound had stopped.
As a Qi and blood warrior, Wu Yanyi was quite capable and used Qi and blood to squeeze the wound to stop the bleeding.
However, the serious injuries of damaged internal organs and crushed lower body could not be cured no matter what.
His life was slipping away bit by bit...
"Brother Wu, do you have any other instructions?"
Wu Yanyi sighed softly, "Let's go out and see if anyone else is coming?"
There was no one inside or outside the room, just the two of them.
The inner court disciples of the martial arts school are all with Wang Jianxiong at this moment.
Wang Jianxiong is still negotiating with Mao Laoliu, demanding more benefits from the other party.
"No one came. Really no one came. Master, how can you be so cold and indifferent?"
"No matter how untalented I am, Wu Yanyi, I am still your disciple who has kowtowed to you. Do you really look down on me so much?"
Wu Yanyi pointed to the bedside drawer and said, "Take out the ebony box for me."
The ebony box was opened. Inside were 10 gold bars and a stack of documents and contracts.
"Junior Brother Zhou, I am about to die. Please help me deal with my afterlife."
"The martial arts school will take care of my affairs after my death. You don't have to worry about it. The only thing is that my wife and children will be left unattended after my death."
"These 10 gold bars are my savings. Each bar weighs 1 taels, a total of 10 taels."
Wu Yanyi's face was pale, with a deathly grey hue beneath his transparent skin, and the stench of rotting internal organs emanated from the broken opening of his abdominal cavity.
He coughed twice and said, "I used external techniques to break through the Qi and Blood barrier. I am an outlier among the inner courtyard disciples."
"As a result, my foundation was damaged, and I had to take medicine all year round to supplement my health, but I didn't save any wealth."
Zhou You thought that Qi and Blood Warriors were just generous and magnanimous. Even if he didn't save any money, he still had 100 taels of gold bars.
These 10 sticks were enough to exchange for more than 1000 taels of silver, which was the largest fortune Zhou You had ever seen.
"There are also deeds to two shops here, collecting rent of 300 taels per year."
Zhou You thought to himself, are you showing off your wealth to me? I have to admit that it is much easier for Qi and Blood Warriors to accumulate wealth than ordinary people.
Wu Yanyi was not born into a high-class family. He was a commoner in the city. He started to make his fortune after joining a martial arts school.
The two shops that collected rent provided a steady income, and coupled with occasional revenue from other sources, they lived a very comfortable life.
He also said that medical treatment and medicine were the biggest expenses, and he also had to support his family, but he still managed to save up 100 taels of gold bars.
"These land deeds and gold bars can only be kept by me while I am alive. Once I die, they will be a disaster."
Wu Yanyi directly pushed the gold bar to Zhou You, "Brother Zhou, I need to trouble you with something."
He acted without hesitation and gave all 10 gold bars to Zhou You.
"Needless to say, the store's title deed will be taken over by the martial arts school after I die, to honor my master."
"Big Brother has taken over the store and is very busy. I don't need to bother him with my personal matters."
"No one cares about floating wealth, but my wife is weak and my children are young. Holding a large amount of money will only bring disaster. I can only entrust it to you, Junior Brother Zhou."
Zhou You didn't want to agree. Although the gold was good, he didn't want to get involved in the martial arts school's affairs.
As a disciple of Qi and Blood, the other party had no one by his side before his death, and the so-called friendship between fellow disciples was just lip service.
"Junior Brother Zhou, I'm dying and no one cares about me. I can only ask you for help."
"Please find a way to send my wife and children back to her parents' home. The land deed will belong to the martial arts school and the gold will belong to you."
Wu Yanyi said earnestly, "We are destined to be together. You must help me with this."
The implication is that not a penny will be left for his wife and children.
This senior brother saw things clearly. Without his military protection, wealth would become the source of trouble.
Therefore, he arranged for his wife and children to return to her parents' home and leave the troubles of Gongliang City.
Zhou You felt heavy-hearted when he thought of what he had said, that his property would be taken over by the martial arts school after his death.
It is said that after a tiger gives birth to offspring, it will pick out the weakest one and throw it out of the nest to be hunted and eaten by wild beasts.
This cruelty is for the sake of ensuring that the offspring are strong enough to get enough food and grow up healthy and strong.
Wu Yanyi, as an abandoned inner court disciple, doesn't his fate lie with the same fate as that of the sick tiger cub?
Zhou You's heart now felt heavier than 10 gold bars, and he swore that he would never suffer the same fate.
"Brother Wu, my father works for a merchant company. He can ask the merchant team to take your family back home. You don't have to worry about that."
Wu Yanyi nodded after hearing this, "Yes, the caravan is well guarded and safe, with a large number of people, you are thoughtful."
He narrowed his eyes, his cheeks turned red, and his body temperature rose sharply, which was a sign of a high fever.
After he had resolved his worries, his body completely collapsed and he became delirious with fever.
"Master, I'm dying, why don't you look at me!"
"Hate it. I hate that I shouldn't have taken shortcuts and ruined my life."
"Brother Zhou, you hope that I will die soon, right? You don't want to stay with a dead person like me, who is unlucky, and want to accompany Master to please him, right?"
"It's useless. In his eyes, there are only the strongest and most outstanding disciples."
"You are currently at the strength level. When you encounter the barrier of Qi and Blood in the future, you may make the same choice as me."
"I am about to die, but the external technique to break through the Qi and Blood barrier cannot be lost. Come here and listen carefully."
Cursing, nagging, begging, complaining, after all the noise, everything returns to silence.
Zhou You stood in front of the cooling corpse, his eyes showing neither sadness nor joy.
The life of an inner court disciple had just ended in front of him. In the end, life was so lonely.
Before his death, Wu Yanyi told him the secret of using external force to break through the barrier of qi and blood.
Whether this was a kind or malicious act, since the person is dead, there is no way to tell.
