Chapter 252 The Origin of the Wu Family
Chapter 252 The Origin of the Wu Family
Several villagers died as soon as they arrived in Huilong Village. Old Man Ran originally came to find Wu Miaozhu to ask for an explanation.
However, he never expected that Wu Miaozhu was more powerful than him, so that old man Ran's anger was suppressed in an instant.
"Okay, I won't stay in Gongming Village anymore. I'll take my people back."
Old Man Ran knew that Wu Miaozhu was in the late stage of foundation building, and this was the territory of Wuliang Mountain.
If you ask for justice from the other party, you will definitely not get it.
But as soon as he stepped out of the temple gate, the cold laughter of Wu the temple keeper rang out from behind:
"After you worship Gongming God, you can't come and go as you please. I'm not afraid to tell you that even if you run to the ends of the earth, as long as you don't burn incense to Gongming God, Gongming God will find you one day."
Seeing Old Man Ran turning around and glaring at him, Wu Miaozhu sighed and softened his tone: "Fellow Daoist Ran, listen to my advice. For the safety of yourself and the villagers, you should stay."
Old Man Ran heard this and said angrily: "What are you doing here? Are you going to stay and wait for death? With so many of us, how many days can these zombies eat us?"
"As long as you burn incense every day and offer some pigs and sheep as tribute, Gongming Shen will never attack you."
After saying this, Wu Miaozhu said: "Whether you believe it or not, I can only say that what happened this morning was an accident."
Of course Old Man Ran didn't believe what Wu Miaozhu said, but he was also afraid that leaving Gongming Village would make the situation worse.
At this moment of being stuck in a dilemma, Tian Lin said, "Wu Miaozhu, you have been in this temple all your life. Have you ever seen how Gongming Shen got out of this sedan chair?"
Tian Lin remembered that the sedan was sealed very well, and it should have been difficult for a zombie to escape from it.
But the truth is, the array pattern on the sedan chair is still there, but the iron ropes that bind the sedan chair have broken.
If no one untied the ropes from the outside, how much strength would the zombie need to break through the seal and break the iron ropes outside?
"Actually, there's nothing to hide about this."
Wu Miaozhu looked at Tian Lin and asked him, "Does Tian Daoyou know how my old patriarch died?"
Tian Lin shook his head. Outsiders knew that the old patriarch was a powerful man in the late Jindan stage, and his death was somewhat strange.
But the Wu family insisted that the old patriarch died of old age, so outsiders could not make random guesses.
"My old patriarch was actually killed by the God Wuliang."
He said to Tian Lin and Old Man Ran:
"Thousands of years ago, my Wu family was worse than the people of Gongming Village today. At that time, our Wu family leader was just a small cultivator at the seventh level of Qi Refining, and we didn't have the surname Wu."
After he finished speaking, he took out the iron chains from the storage bag again and put them around the sedan chair.
Tian Lin and Old Man Ran looked at Wu Miaozhu's back and listened to Wu Miaozhu continue:
"The real surname Wu is Wuliangshen. His cultivation level was not high during his lifetime, but only at the initial stage of foundation building.
But Hua Hualang, who had some accomplishments, was nothing in the Great Qi Dynasty at that time, but was considered a local gentry bully in the countryside.
This country squire bully, Mr. Wu, relied on his cultivation to commit all kinds of evil, bullying men and women. In a very short period of time, he occupied the spiritual fields and took away other people's wives, and gave birth to a bunch of filial sons and grandsons. "
Although Wu Miaozhu said that Wu Yuanwai was evil, he did not harbor any hatred towards him at all.
Not to mention him, Tian Lin and Old Man Ran could not feel any hatred towards Mr. Wu.
After all, Mr. Wu from a thousand years ago was no different from the Huahualang of today.
Everyone has seen it so many times that they are no longer surprised. "However, the moon waxes and wanes, and people have their ups and downs. In this world, how can anyone be happy all the time?"
Wu Miaozhu had already tied up the sedan chair by then. Not only that, he also pasted talismans on it and sealed it with layers of seals.
"Just when Mr. Wu was feeling very proud, a young man suddenly came to Wujia Village. He was about 16 or 17 years old. After a fierce battle with Mr. Wu, he finally killed him.
If Wu's family hadn't arrived, his body would have been completely turned into a pile of ashes. By then, he wouldn't even be able to become a mummy."
When Tian Lin heard this, he suddenly interrupted Wu Miaozhu and asked him, "Mr. Wu has reached the initial stage of foundation building, so do his family members also have foundation building stage cultivation?"
While lighting incense, Wu Miaozhu explained, "Wu Miaozhu was the one with the highest cultivation level in the Wu family at that time, and all his family members were also Qi-refining cultivators."
Tian Lin said: "That's strange! That young man was able to kill Mr. Wu, so he must be a foundation-building cultivator. Even if he was seriously injured in the battle with Mr. Wu, he must not be someone that a Qi-refining cultivator can offend.
How can Wu Yuanwai's family stop that young man from burning the corpse?"
Old Man Ran also agreed at this time: "Yes, there is a huge gap between the Foundation Establishment Stage and the Qi Refining Stage. Even if a Foundation Establishment cultivator is seriously injured, he is definitely not someone that a Qi Refining cultivator can offend.
Wu Miaozhu, your story is full of loopholes. You are treating us like fools."
Wu Miaozhu turned around and sneered:
"A foundation-building cultivator was seriously injured, and it was indeed not something that a Qi-refining cultivator could offend. But that young man was only at the twelfth level of Qi-refining at the time. He killed Mr. Wu with a life-saving move.
If he fails to save himself in time, the young man will probably be in trouble, so how can he have the energy to fight with Mr. Wu's family? "
Old Man Ran shouted, "That's even more impossible! How can a Qi Refining cultivator kill a Foundation Establishment cultivator? This is as absurd as an ant biting a giant tiger to death."
Tian Lin thought for a moment and asked Wu Miaozhu, "Could it be that the young man used some magic weapon? Or some conspiracy?"
Wu Miaozhu shook his head: "That young man only used an iron sword, but didn't use any magic weapon."
Tian Lin smiled and said nothing.
He built his foundation with the five elements and practiced many magic spells during the Qi Refining Stage. It can be said that he was never afraid of anyone in the same realm.
But even so, he never thought that he would be able to challenge the Foundation Establishment cultivators when he was in the Qi Refining Stage, because that was an impossible task.
"Could it be that there is some difference between the cultivators a thousand years ago and the cultivators today?"
Wu Miaozhu did not answer Tian Lin's words and continued:
"Anyway, after that young man killed Mr. Wu, his family sealed his body in a coffin and handed it over to a group of mourners to take care of it."
Old Man Ran asked, "Are you trying to say that the people in Wujia Village now are the same people who cried for the dead back then?"
Wu Miaozhu nodded and said, "Yes, in fact, our Wujia Village accepted the money from the Wu family at that time and promised to guard the body of Mr. Wu for generations.
Over time, because of the long hours of vigil, Mr. Wu gradually became a god, and our ancestors simply changed their surname to "Wu". This is how the Wu family, the mass grave site, and the Wuliang Mountain came into being! "
Wu Miaozhu said to Old Man Ran: "Fellow Daoist Ran, what's wrong with keeping vigil for others? Our Wu family has become so powerful because of keeping vigil.
If your Ran family can continue to guard the spirit, you may become a Jindan family in the future."
