Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 565 The Tired Cow

When Chen Shandao's eyes fell on her, Chen Suhui's eyes were still wandering and unfocused.

"Su Hui?"

"What do you want me to do, father?"

"Did you hear what I just said to Qian Cheng?"

"Is it possible that father is considering getting his daughter together with that Gu Xu again?"

Her tone of voice was light and smooth, as if she was discussing a trivial matter that had nothing to do with her.

Chen Shandao was choked for a moment.

He knew that his daughter had always had this kind of character - while other disciples from the aristocratic family were thinking about how to speak more tactfully and more appropriately, she always spoke out and never cared about other people's feelings.

Before Chen Shandao could respond, Chen Qiancheng on the side said hurriedly: "Father, you must not do this! Gu Xu has married Zhao Yan from Youzhou, and there is an old lover in Jiange who has been searched for thousands of times. ! If my sister marries him, won’t she have to stay humble and suffer all kinds of injustice?”

Most of the time, Chen Qiancheng is a calm and calm person, and is often praised as having the air of a general. Only when his younger sisters were bullied, he would instantly become violent and impulsive, turning into a tiger with explosive hair.

"Calm down, Qiancheng," Chen Shandao said calmly, "At this moment when the family's life and death are at stake, the grievances each of us have are trivial, and Su Hui is no exception.

"I'm just thinking about how I can leave a way out for my family if Gu Xu wins in the end."

Then he turned his head and looked at Chen Yanping, who kept his head down in the team: "Yan Ping, I remember that when you were in the reserves of the Shenji Battalion, you had a good personal relationship with Gu Xu?"

Hearing his father call his name, Chen Yanping took a step forward and said in a deep voice: "When we first got along, he was always very polite to me. But when I made further advances, he was completely unmoved."

Chen Yanping is the son of Chen Shandao's concubine. Although he is not amazing in appearance, he always has a smile on his lips, giving people an amiable feeling.

A few days ago, Chen Yanping just broke through the fifth realm. As a genius monk who has joined the reserve force of the Shenji Battalion, explored the Laoshan ruins of Kongxuan Sanren, and also participated in this year's Luoshui Conference, if there were no monsters like Gu Xu in the world, then he would definitely become the younger generation of Daqi One of the brightest rising stars.

"Gu Xu is indeed an ambitious person." Chen Shandao sighed and commented, "He knows what his goal is and will not be easily fooled by the small profits in front of him.

"As Qian Cheng said, Queen Daqi is a member of our Chen family, which means that it is impossible for our family to join Gu Xu's camp. But now that Gu Xu is gaining momentum, it is not without victory against His Majesty who has lost a projection. possibility.

"As the saying goes, 'A cunning rabbit has three burrows, and the only thing he can do is to avoid his dead ears.'

"Our Chen family only has one cave now, so we can't sleep peacefully. Yan Ping, I hope you can dig a 'second cave' for the family.

"I plan to find a reason to expel You and Chen Suhui from the family. You can take the property in your name to join Gu Xu. In this way, even if the Daqi Dynasty really ceases to exist, our family can continue to be famous."

Chen Yanping frowned slightly and said: "Father, as we all know, Gu Xu has a magical weapon in his hand that can see everything in the world. This lie of 'being expelled from the family after making mistakes' will definitely be seen through by him - even what we are discussing today Everything may have fallen into his ears.”

"The reason why I want to play a role in expelling you from the family," Chen Shandao said, "is not to hide it from Gu Xu, but to make our family's reputation better in front of the world, so that we will not be regarded as two-faced villains.

"In my opinion, Gu Xu is a very pragmatic person. As long as you two can provide him with sufficient benefits and resources, then even if he has already understood the truth, he will pretend not to know."

Chen Yanping lowered his head and was silent for a long time, clenching and unclenching his fists repeatedly. His thoughts were tangled together like a tangled mess, and they continued to be cut and sorted out.

He knew that if he agreed to his father's request, he would no longer be a member of the Chen family and would leave this mansion forever.

The background of "Xiangyang Chen Family" will be forever deprived of his identity.

In his lifetime, he will be on the opposite side of his clan, and he will never be able to prepare for the future of his family in the same room like today.

Between the two, there must be a winner or loser.

The winner continues the bloodline, the loser has withered bones in the grave.

"Father, is it really appropriate for me to bring all the properties and craftsmen under my name to the northwest? You don't need to leave some behind?"

"If you don't take them all, Gu Xu won't trust you."

"Father, why don't you let Su Hui stay? She is still young and shouldn't take risks with me—"

"Yan Ping, you have to remember that blood is the most reliable relationship in the world. If Gu Xu really wins the world, even if you win his favor, you can only protect the family for the rest of your life. But if Su Hui can give birth to him Heirs, then the family's incense will continue in the new dynasty.

"You know, Gu Xu doesn't have any children yet."

Chen Yanping let out a long sigh.

The father spoke in a very indifferent tone, as if he regarded his children as tools to continue the family, and there was no trace of nostalgia.

However, when Chen Yanping saw his father's graying temples and the increasingly obvious wrinkles on his forehead, he couldn't help but feel mixed emotions.

"Father, the doctor said before that because of your long-term over-cultivation, a large amount of Yin evil energy has accumulated in your meridians. You should pay more attention to rest and remember to take medicine every day -"

"——A manly man, mother-in-law and mother-in-law, please wipe away your tears quickly. Your father is very strong now and does not need you to worry about him.

"Do you still remember what I said to you when you killed that dog?"

"That dog..."

Chen Yanping was caught off guard when his father suddenly mentioned this matter.

Those painful memories that had long been buried in the dust quietly came to his mind.

Every boy of the Chen family in Xiangyang must raise a puppy after breaking through to the second realm, feed it personally every day, take it out for a walk, and raise it little by little.

Chen Yanping is naturally no exception.

His puppy's name is "Ahei". (1)

He picked it up from the roadside - it was only as big as his hand at the time. It looked pitiful, waddling awkwardly on its limbs, and its dirty black fur was soaked by the rain. It seems that it was abandoned by its mother because it was too thin.

Ah Hei, who was picked up and brought home, liked to lick his shoes, eat his leftovers, and catch mice in the middle of the night.

It grows older, its hair becomes thicker, and its limbs become stronger.

It learned to squat next to its owner, learned to wag its tail to show kindness, and learned to obey orders. Every time he saw its progress, he felt as if he were seeing his own child, full of joy and satisfaction.

However, when Chen Yanping was about to break through to the third realm, he received an order from his father:

"Kill the dog."

My father said that this is the tradition of the Chen family in Xiangyang from generation to generation, and it is the key secret to their family's ability to stand firm in the wilderness for hundreds of years.

As we all know, when setting foot on the third realm "Naihe Bridge", if the practitioner is stimulated by strong emotions, he will be more likely to awaken powerful supernatural powers.

The ancestors of the Chen family believe that their descendants have been pampered and carefree since birth, and do not need to use sweat and blood to build a business like their predecessors.

Their lives may be spent peacefully, and it is difficult for them to encounter things that will bring strong emotional impact.

Therefore, the ancestors of the Chen family came up with a way to let the younger generations raise a dog and then kill them to stimulate the emotions of the younger generations when they were in trouble, so that people in each generation could use this to awaken powerful supernatural powers.

This approach may sound a bit inhumane. But in the eyes of the ancestors of the Chen family, a dog's life, powerful supernatural powers, and the long-term longevity of the family are too insignificant.

Chen Yanping once tried to resist his father's orders, and even ran away from home quietly at night with Xiao Hei in his arms.

But he was soon taken home by his father.

That night, my father's attitude was more severe than ever.

"Your great-grandfather, your grandfather, your brothers, you and I have all done this before. Why can't you do it?"

To this day, Chen Yanping still clearly remembers the look in Xiao Hei's eyes when he was about to die. The black eyes were clear and clean, reflecting the ferocious appearance of the master who was crying and his eyes were red. He even stuck out his tongue sympathetically and licked the toe of the master's shoe.

But he had absolutely no idea of ​​his next fate.

It was also from that day that Chen Yanping began to make a name for himself in Dahuang. He not only stirred up troubles in the world of spiritual practice, but also managed the Chen family industry he took over in a prosperous and stylish manner, which impressed all the younger generations of the Daqi Dynasty. .

He seemed to have put on a smiling mask, becoming graceful and graceful. It seemed that no one could see through his mask and see into his heart.

…………

"Do you still remember what I said to you when you killed that dog?"

"I remember. You said at that time that emotions are a coward's excuse and a useless fetter. Men of the Chen family need to have an iron heart."

"Very good. Yan Ping, now I give this sentence to you again."

"Thank you father for your advice."

"Tomorrow, I will kick you and Su Hui out of the house on the charges of 'disrespecting your ancestors' and 'disloyalty to your parents'. After that, you will need to find your own way out, and I can no longer help you."

"My son understands."

"When we meet on the battlefield in the future, if your master asks you to chop off my head as a sign of loyalty, don't hesitate and just do it."

"...Yes." Chen Yanping took a deep breath.

"You should leave first and sort out the property in your name. Next, I want to discuss something with Su Hui."

"Yes."

Chen Yanping turned and left.

When he reached the door, he couldn't help but pause in his steps. He blinked hard several times and stared at his father in the seat for a long time, as if he wanted to imprint his gray hair on his temples forever in his mind.

"Shuzi, why are you still lingering here?" His father's voice broke his thoughts.

"Father, you must remember to take your medicine!" Chen Yanping said hastily.

Then, just when his father was about to curse, he ran out of the house like a nimble little wild dog.

…………

Liangzhou City.

After the meeting, Gu Xu returned to his bedroom.

Zhao Yan was still sound asleep on his big bed.

She was lying on her side with her back to Gu Xu.

The quilt had already been kicked open by her, half of it hung down under the bed, and the other half was sandwiched between her legs. A ray of sunlight filtered through the window lattice and fell on her bare back, making her fair skin glow with an ivory-like crystal luster.

Standing beside the bed, Gu Xu could fully appreciate her graceful and smooth body curves, and he could also clearly see the faint red hickeys on her body between the black hair.

At this time, Gu Xu had to sigh, the so-called "the spring night is short and the sun is rising, and the king will not come to court early from now on", after all, it is because the "king" is not very good at fighting.

If it were me after becoming a saint, this poem would have become "From now on, my wife will not go to court early."

While thinking this, Gu Xu took off his robe and climbed onto the bed.

He was lying on his side behind his wife, with his chest touching her back and his abdomen close to her waist and hips. His legs were bent into the same shape from knees to ankles, overlapping each other perfectly, like two adjacent puzzle pieces. .

His hand fell on her belly, his fingertips gently brushing her silky smooth skin.

Zhao Yan let out a soft hum and arched her upper body more roundly, as if trying to escape his closeness.

Gu Xu buried his head in her hair, smelling her fragrance.

According to the book, the higher the level of a practitioner, the more indifferent his emotions will become.

This is especially true for the strong saints - in their eyes, the importance of anything is far less than the mystery of the great road of heaven and earth.

But Gu Xu believed that he must be an exception.

Because after he was promoted to a saint, he felt that his desire had become stronger.

Zhao Yan finally opened her eyes.

She grabbed Gu Xu's restless hand, chuckled and said, "My Gu Lang, are you excited again?"

"Who said this goblin in front of me is too tempting?" Gu Xu lowered his head and kissed her shoulder, "Is that okay?"

"Just don't tire yourself out."

Zhao Yan smiled, turned over, and put her arms around Gu Xu's neck. Although she couldn't even get out of bed now, her mouth was still as hard as last night.

…………

Gu Xu carried Zhao Yan into the bathtub and helped her clean her body. In the steaming five-spice soup, bright red petals floated, making her skin as white and smooth as gelatin.

Zhao Yan leaned lazily in his arms, stroking her flat belly with one hand.

"Do you think we will have children?"

"Want a baby?"

"Yeah. When you went out just now, I was thinking that it would be a wonderful feeling if there was a child with both of our blood flowing in his body."

As we all know, after a strong saint reshapes his body, his life level undergoes a radical transformation, and it is more difficult for him to have children than ordinary people.

"It will definitely happen. We are both so young, and you are the reincarnation of a saint. You will surely become a saint soon. We still have hundreds of years to work hard."

"Yeah." Zhao Yan closed her eyes and her voice sounded lingering due to fatigue.

Since Gu Xu was promoted to a saint, the efficiency of their "dual cultivation" has been greatly improved. In Zhao Yan's perception, her true energy seemed to be driven by a more powerful engine, running crazily at several times the usual speed - the word "engine" was taught to her by Gu Xu.

Every night, she could feel the strength in her body growing significantly.

In the past, she had always felt that the realm of saints was illusory and out of reach.

But now it seems that as long as she can find her own "way to sanctification" as soon as possible, it is not impossible to be promoted to the seventh realm.

She very much hopes that she can become stronger as soon as possible so that she can help Gu Xu in more difficult battles in the future.

Therefore, even if her body is exhausted, she will still try her best to cater to him, and even take the initiative to tease him.

Anyway, a strong saint is a tireless cow that can be squeezed to his heart's content.
