Chapter 361: Shou Nu’s theory, concealing the truth from the truth (please subscribe)
Next.
In front of Yan Xiaolan, Wei Tu swallowed a few pills and performed a magic formula with both hands. He looked like an old man with a great loss of vitality and gray hair on his temples.
“Tomorrow I will...” Wei Tu whispered a few words to Yan Xiaolan, telling her the specific plan for tomorrow.
To stabilize the Yan family, Wei Tu was not sure of victory, so he could only ask Yan Xiaolan to cooperate with him as much as possible to maximize the chance of winning.
However, unlike what Wei Tu thought, Yan Xiaolan at this moment was not only thinking about how to hide the truth from the outside world tomorrow, but also had some doubts about Wei Tu's true age.
"Senior Cui is probably not a bad old man. Maybe he is five hundred years old? Six hundred years old?"
Yan Xiaolan’s heart was beating loudly, and she felt a huge sense of surprise.
If her guess is true, then with Wei Tu's lifespan, maybe she can be protected to condense the golden elixir and prove to be the true king of the golden elixir.
By then, not only will she have reached the golden elixir level, but she will also have a greater chance of inheriting Wei Tu's legacy after his death.
The legacy of a late Golden Elixir is much greater than the legacy of a mid-Gold Elixir. It is countless times richer.
This is an even greater benefit than the previous one!
As for whether Wei Tu will abandon her...
Yan Xiaolan didn’t think so much.
In her opinion, she has been practicing "Luan Feng Jue" for many years and has become the foundation of Wei Tu.
Just then, he swallowed the poison pill again, and his loyalty to Wei Tu is self-evident.
Who among Wei Tu’s friends is more trustworthy than her?
In addition, Wei Tu has incurred a lot of sunk costs on her in the past eight years.
Abandoning her rashly means that tens of thousands of spiritual stones have been wasted.
Think about it, it’s impossible for anyone to make such a stupid decision.
…
The next day.
Yan Zezhi's uncle and nephew came to Xiaohan Mountain to visit Wei Tu as promised.
“Fellow Daoist Cui, now that the trade routes between Xiao and Kang have been restored, although I, Lord Gaozong, do not want to part with Friend Cui’s elixirs...but we cannot allow Friend Cui’s family to be reunited, which goes against the right path..."
Entering the cave, Yan Zezhi first exchanged a few simple greetings with Wei Tu, then got down to the topic and started to test Wei Tu directly.
“Family reunion?” Hearing this, Wei Tu frowned slightly, his face dark.
Looking a little gloomy.
Has there been any change?
Seeing this scene, Yan Zezhi's uncle and nephew were also confused about Wei Tu's thoughts.
According to their previous deductions, Wei Tu’s reaction after hearing these words was either to readily agree or to find reasons to refuse...
The look on his face was beyond their expectation.
After waiting for a while, Wei Tu, whose expression was difficult to distinguish, finally responded.
It's just that this reply caught Yan Zezhi's uncle and nephew a little unexpectedly.
Wei Tu said: "Cui is already old and is a favorite among many calamity cultivators. If he rashly returns to Kang, he may encounter something unexpected..."
“It is already a blessing for Mr. Cui to live his whole life in Xiaohan Mountain, and he dare not ask for too much more.”
"But..." At this point, Wei Tu paused slightly, "But there is something. Cui needs Fellow Daoist Yan's help, and I hope Fellow Daoist Yan can agree."
Without waiting for Yan Zezhi to answer, Wei Tu continued to take care of himself: "Only Xiaolan only cultivated" Fengfeng Jue "is too slow ... I do n’t know that the nobles can have other women's cultivation? Cui is willing to spend a lot of money."
Hear this.
Yan Zezhi and Yan Zhenping, uncle and nephew, couldn't help but look at each other and looked at each other.
They didn't expect that Wei Tu would be so shameless. Yan Xiaolan was not enough, and he even wanted to ask for more female cultivators from the Yan family.
If the Yan family agrees to this matter, wouldn't it become the laughing stock of other families?
"This old guy asked Xiaolan to practice "Luan Feng Jue" in order to replenish the pure Yin Yuan in Xiaolan's body and extend his life."
“Now, he is asking for more female cultivators from our Yan family, probably for this reason.”
Yan Zhenping analyzed privately.
“The person named Cui has become a longevity slave!” Yan Zezhi narrowed his eyes slightly and judged.
Shou Nu, as the name suggests, is the slave of life span. For the continuation of life, he will sacrifice everything and burn everything he has.
Become a longevity slave—
This situation usually occurs in old monks who are approaching the end of their lifespan.
He is unwilling to die and wants to live in the world of immortality in a different way, even if he lives a few more years, he is willing to do so.
Shou Nu, the probability of appearing in the demonic realm is high, but the probability of appearing in the righteous realm is low. After all, the secrets of extending life are mostly magical means.
However, once a longevity slave appears in the righteous realm, the monk's outlook on life will often be destroyed, causing people to be shocked.
Because many of the longevity slaves in the righteous world were once respected seniors, and they went through fire and water for the sake of righteous things.
“Shounu?”
“No wonder he refused to return to Kang.”
Yan Zhenping suddenly realized.
Before becoming a longevity slave, the righteous seniors were willing to dedicate everything they had to the family, but after becoming a longevity slave, they would be extremely selfish.
Some people just don’t want to contribute, and they even ask their descendants to do their best to support them.
In the Chu State next door, a Yuanying Shounu appeared more than a hundred years ago. Like Wei Tu, he also took in concubines and extended his life through the art of dual cultivation.
But the selfish point of this Yuanying Shou slave is that he is worried that the fact that he has become a Shou slave will be leaked and he will be punished by the righteous forces, so he closes his family and marries his descendants in large numbers for dual cultivation.
Had someone in the family not escaped and exposed this scandal, that Yuanying Shounu would still be alive today.
Of course, although everyone hates Shou Nu, as long as it does not become well-known and infamous, no one will usually take care of it.
In the final analysis, no matter how righteous a monk is, he will find it difficult to resist the desire to prolong his life when he is about to die.
This is a limitation of human nature!
Righteous forces cannot just kill a Shougu slave when they see one.
First, it is difficult to negotiate between forces.
In case he is not here to deliver justice, he is here to seize territory. How could the presence of Shou Nu's power lead to the wolf entering the house?
Shou Nu is not easy to define between the two. Isn’t it okay for old timers to think about enjoying themselves before they die?
For example, at this moment, Wei Tu was thinking about marrying more concubines and making up for his problems, but this did not violate public customs at all.
In the world of immortality, polygamy is the norm.
“This is the gift from Mr. Cui!”
Then, Wei Tu turned his palm, took out a spirit stone bag, and placed it on the table.
“Ten thousand spirit stones?” Yan Zezhi raised his eyebrows, startled by Wei Tu’s generosity.
Normally speaking, a monk in the middle stage of the Golden Core, in addition to heavy assets such as magic weapons, only has about 30,000 to 50,000 spiritual stones on his body.
Weitu is a second-level alchemist and can do more.
But his ability to produce ten thousand spiritual stones at this moment is also extraordinary.
This shows how obsessed Wei Tu, a longevity slave, is with extending his life!
"Although the Yan family does not have a female cultivator of the same age as Xiaolan, other families do... Fellow Daoist Cui, don't worry, Yan will do his best to handle this matter,"
Yan Zezhi stretched out his hand, used magic power to capture the spirit stone bag on the table, stroked his beard, and agreed with a smile.
Although he was not ashamed of Wei Tu becoming a Shou slave, this result happened to be beneficial to their Yan family.
Yan Jiajin could slander Wei Tu, kill Wei Tu in the name of killing Shounu, and obtain the inheritance after death; retreat could use the name of Wei Tu to search for concubines, thereby defrauding Wei Tu of the inheritance of Shounu one by one. come over.
No matter which direction you choose, it will be a good thing for the Yan family.
"What? Take another concubine?" At this time, Yan Xiaolan, who was standing behind Wei Tu to serve, his face changed slightly, and he looked a little ugly.
Obviously, with the other concubines, her status in Wei Tu is no longer necessary.
"Xiaolan! There is no place for you to interrupt when my second uncle is talking to Senior Cui!" Yan Zhenping was not surprised and scolded Yan Xiaolan as his biological father.
“Dad, I know, but...”
Yan Xiaolan looked aggrieved and hesitated to speak.
Hearing this, Yan Zhenping immediately understood what Yan Xiaolan meant. In addition to worrying about his status in Xiaohan Mountain, he was also worried about the ownership of Wei Tu's inheritance after his death.
After all, if there are more female nuns from other families in Xiaohan Mountain, it will not be easy for the Yan family to be the sole leader in the future.
“In the past few years, Xiaolan has been considerate, gentle, and attentive to Cui. Xiaolan has taken on the role of the heroine of Xiaohanshan.”
Wei Tu groaned and said at the right moment.
Hearing this, both Yan Zezhi's uncle and nephew, and Yan Xiaolan were satisfied and had no objections.
“Yan will take care of this matter for Cui Daoyou.”
After discussing the specific details of taking a concubine, Yan Zezhi stood up, bowed his hands, and left.
Next, Wei Tu accompanied Yan Xiaolan to send Yan Zezhi's uncle and nephew off to Xiaohan Mountain.
His every word and deed maintained a humble attitude of asking for help from others.
“The person surnamed Cui has taken good care of Xiaohan Mountain. He has not left this sacred place unused. It seems he plans to stay there for a long time.”
After leaving Xiaohan Mountain, the smile on Yan Zezhi's face faded one by one, and his eyes glowed.
"However, we can't just believe his words. Maybe this person cut off his tail to escape."
Yan Zezhi added.
He ordered Yan Zhenping to send more men to keep an eye on Xiaohan Mountain to prevent Wei Tu from suddenly escaping.
“We, the foundation-building monks…”
Yan Zhenping looked hesitant. With the manpower of Baiyao Pavilion, it was impossible to stop Wei Tu.
“Your fourth uncle and I will also pay attention to Xiaohan Mountain. Just do your own thing.”
Yan Zezhi revealed his action plan.
Hearing this, Yan Zhenping had no objections. He flattered Yan Zezhi and said that he was considerate.
…
Waiting for Yan Zezhi’s uncle and nephew to leave.
Weitu, who was in Xiaohan Mountain Cave Mansion, breathed a sigh of relief.
The trade routes between Xiao Kang and the two countries were restored. What he feared most was that the Yan family soldiers would make dangerous moves, look ugly, launch a sudden attack on him, and directly rob him of his "heritage".
In that case, no matter whether the Yan family monk fails or not, it will be difficult for him to stay in Xiaohan Mountain.
Fortunately, Yan Zezhi's uncle and nephew believed his words and were temporarily stabilized by him.
The successful implementation of this delaying strategy naturally required the cooperation of Yan Xiaolan.
If he and Yan Xiaolan had not communicated with each other in advance, Yan Xiaolan, who was unprepared when he brought up the matter of recruiting concubines this time, might have rebelled.
After all, Yan Xiaolan was only willing to cooperate with him because she was focused on his legacy after his death.
—After taking another concubine, Yan Xiaolan’s position became precarious and she would not fall to his side.
This is all to be expected.
"After two years, after thoroughly cleansing the body, you can leave calmly."
Wei Tu thought secretly.
"Xiaolan, you will be responsible for managing the concubines who will follow and teaching them the "Luan Feng Jue". Don't worry, they are different from you."
Wei Tu made a guarantee and gave Yan Xiaolan another reassurance.
To control your subordinates, you must not only lure them with benefits, but also lure them with affection.
“Thank you, Senior Cui!”
Hearing this, Yan Xiaolan was overjoyed. She secretly thought that Senior Cui had me in his heart, and nodded happily.
