Chapter 94: Sacrifice "There are still three thousand nails on a rotten ship." After arriving in the city tonight, especially coming to the Yu family's villa, Huang Junshi, who had been taciturn, suddenly made such a meaningful comment, "There are still some sensible people in the Yu family." Tao Tie, who was standing by, seemed to be thinking about something when he heard this. The corner of his eye looked at Liu Pingquan, the chief of the Immortal God Department of Siming Prefecture, and there was a slight change in his gaze. He has a beard, a rough appearance, a bold temperament, and a big and strong body, all of which are his external appearance. It is true that he has a blood feud with the Yu family, and it is equally true that he wants to destroy the Yu family to avenge his blood feud. But more importantly, Liu Pingquan is a shrewd and extremely patient person. You can do anything to achieve your goal. Including trading with the enemy! Even Tao Tie, an "outsider", could understand the meaning of this sentence, and Liu Pingquan could naturally understand why Huang Junshi made this sigh. Liu Pingquan's expression remained unchanged. He laughed and said naturally, "Sword Immortal, let's go and have a drink. You were born to be in heaven, don't let the filth we have in the mud dirty your eyes. Old Liu, I have nothing else to say, but one word, thank you!"
As he spoke, Liu Pingquan pulled Huang Junshi and Tao Tie to a secluded corner. There is a pavilion here with a stone table in it. On the table was a pot of wine, three cups, and several plates of snacks and desserts. The preparations made in advance were extremely thorough. Huang Junshi and Tao Tie were asked to sit down first, and then Liu Pingquan sat down, picked up the wine pot, and poured wine for the master and disciple. When the three cups were full, Liu Pingquan immediately picked up the cup in front of him and said generously: "Sword Immortal, I am a real man and I want to be a real man, but I can't be a real man if I want to avenge the blood feud that the Yu family has inflicted on me. But I have a real heart, especially in front of a gentleman like the Sword Immortal and a heavenly being." A grunt. Liu Pingquan raised his head and sipped the wine in his glass, then continued, "Thank you, Sword Immortal, for supporting me tonight. I also want to thank you, Sword Immortal, for not speaking out and saving my face tonight." "I don't drink." Facing the words and behavior of his immediate superior Liu Pingquan, Huang Junshi replied calmly, "Tonight there is no question of whether to support or not, and there is no question of whether to see through or not, or whether to speak out or not. I only have one thing to say to Liu Duguan." "Sword Immortal, please speak. Old Liu, I am all ears." Liu Pingquan was not at all dissatisfied with Huang Junshi's "lack of face". Instead, he seriously waited for Huang Junshi's "criticism" or "accusation". Huang Junshi said calmly: "Everything has a beginning, but few can have an end. I personally think that it is understandable to use some means to achieve the goal. The most wrong thing is to use too many means in the process, so that you forget your original intention and your own..." Huang Junshi emphasized with a slightly heavier tone: "I really mean it!" After listening to Huang Junshi's "advice", Liu Pingquan thought seriously for a while, then bowed and said solemnly: "Thank you, Sword Immortal, for reminding me. From now on, Old Liu will never forget and will remind myself of this all the time." Tao Tie suddenly felt that the sentence structure was somewhat familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before. After thinking about it for a while, I suddenly realized that it was me who said it! Based on this, Tao Tie actually had the idea of becoming good brothers with Liu Pingquan. If Liu Pingquan really didn't make friends with him just for the sake of his teacher. Faced with a familiar promise, Huang Junshi did not give the same response as last time. He just smiled faintly, then changed the subject and took the initiative to say, "I don't drink, Tao Tie, can you accompany Liu Duguan for a drink on my behalf?"
"Okay, teacher." Tao Tie immediately agreed, picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it all. As soon as the wine entered my stomach, I felt something strange. This is not an ordinary fine wine, nor is it an ordinary spiritual wine, but Moonlight Wine. It also has another name, called Emperor Liujiang. The cool feeling starts from the stomach, nourishes the internal organs, and then flows to the limbs and bones. However, as soon as the Yin God "Taiyi Great Emperor" sitting in the Lingtai Zifu of the Niwan Palace had a thought, the Taotie Dharma image lying at his feet immediately moved. An overwhelming suction force emanated from the Niwan Palace, and moved towards the internal organs, taking the cool feeling into them. The Taotie Dharmadhatu opened its mouth and swallowed, digesting some invisible residue, and fed back the refined and more refined coolness to the Yin God "Taiyi Great Emperor". In the second stage of the soul refining technique, the primordial spirit changes from a Yin spirit to a Yang spirit, which can be summarized in four words: "stripping away all the yin." The so-called group of yin is pure yin. If the Yin God "Taiyi Great Emperor" wants to become the Yang God "Taiyi Great Emperor", he must first transform his divine body into a pure Yin body, rather than the current turbid Yin body. This requires Tao Tieyu to make his Yin Spirit bathe in and exhale the moonlight, and spend a lot of long-term effort to hone his skills. The moon wine brewed with pure moonlight has a significant accelerating effect on this process. Liu Pingquan had so many kinds of fine wines stored by the Yu family, but instead chose Yuehua wine, which shows his thoughtfulness. After Tao Tie came back to his senses from the feedback and help that Yuehua Wine brought him, Liu Pingquan suddenly said apologetically: "Sword Immortal, Brother Tao, I, Old Liu, wanted to have a few drinks with you, enjoy the flowers and the moon, and chat, but I am a busy man, so I have to leave for a while." As he spoke, Liu Pingquan stood up and said, "Old Liu, I'll be back soon. You guys drink first." After saying this, Liu Pingquan nodded to Huang Junshi and Tao Tie, then strode out of the pavilion. In just a few steps, he no longer seemed bold but actually cautious in front of Huang Junshi. He looked powerful, decisive and domineering. And full of murderous intent. Even though he had to make a deal with some people in the Yu family in order to organize this game tonight, it doesn't mean that Liu Pingquan will let the Yu family have an easy time! On the contrary, Liu Pingquan, who has been sharpening his knife for many years, will definitely seize the great opportunity tonight and strike the Yu family hard. Even if you can't kill him, you have to chop him to death! The light screen above the night sky never stopped broadcasting the Yu family's ethical drama live while Liu Pingquan was entertaining Huang Junshi and Tao Tie. Yu Kouzhong had already arrived at Fangchun Garden and confronted his younger brother Yu Pingzhong. The person who stopped Yu Pingzhong and did not let him in seriously and did the evil thing was one of the protagonists of tonight's Hundred Days Banquet, Yu Kouzhong's eldest son Yu Zhuo. At this moment, there were only four people inside and outside Fangchun Garden, the brothers Yu Kouzhong and Yu Pingzhong, and the couple Yu Zhuo and Qi Wanyi. Yu Kou Zhong couldn't turn off the light screen in the night sky, but he could still drive people away. What was more strange was that Yu Kouzhong only drove away the servants serving in Fangchun Garden, but did not ask the guests who were coming tonight to leave.
Instead, he allowed these guests with ulterior motives to watch the Yu family's ugly face and jokes. Facing the indifferent gaze of his elder brother, the angry hatred of his nephew, and listening to his niece-in-law sobbing with her face covered, Yu Pingzhong still looked nonchalant and didn't take what happened tonight to heart at all. In other words, Yu Pingzhong had no sense of shame at all after being caught doing something bad. "Ping Zhong, you're going too far." After staring blankly for a long time, Yu Kouzhong finally asked, breaking the weird atmosphere at the scene. Although he questioned her, there was no anger in his voice. "Too much?" Yu Pingzhong smiled and said, "Excessive? Ha! How can this be considered excessive? If you want to say excessive, there is more to come." Judging from what he said, Yu Pingzhong was not acting impulsively under the influence of alcohol tonight. Instead, he had been harboring resentment for a long time and deliberately chose to cause trouble at the Hundred Days Banquet tonight. There are other plans for trouble later. Qi Wanyi's sobbing became louder unconsciously, and her eyes were staring at her bastard second uncle as if fire was about to burst out. Yu Kouzhong remained calm and indifferent, but his voice sank slightly: "There is no future. The future of the Yu family has nothing to do with you from now on, and your future has nothing to do with the Yu family from now on." "What do you mean?" Yu Pingzhong's eyes and expression suddenly changed, "Yu Kouzhong, what do you mean by this?" Yu Kouzhong said coldly: "Haven't you always resented the fact that the old man passed the position of the head of the family to me just because I was born half a quarter of an hour earlier than you? Haven't you always wanted to take back the position of the head of the Yu family? Don't resent it, and don't think about it. Tonight, right here, as the head of the Yu family, I will..." At this point, Yu Kouzhong summoned his magical power to amplify his voice so that all the Yu family members and guests in the other courtyard could hear him clearly without disturbing them: "Yu Pingzhong, I will expel you from this family. Your name will also be crossed out on the family tree. After you die, you will not be allowed to enter the Yu family ancestral hall!" As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar. In the pavilion, Tao Tie said to himself, "As expected." In Fangchun Garden, Yu Pingzhong couldn't believe it and was so angry that he started to curse: "Yu Kouzhong, who do you think you are? You don't have the qualifications to kick me out of the family! You don't have the qualifications to cross my name out of the family tree! Who do you think you are? What qualifications do you have?" Facing Yu Pingzhong's abuse, Yu Kouzhong did not refute, but just shook his head slightly. "I am nothing, do I have the qualifications?" An old voice suddenly sounded from somewhere and came into Fangchun Garden. When Yu Pingzhong heard this, he felt as if he was struck by lightning. The whole person swayed a few times in a daze, and almost lost his balance and fell to the ground. After a while, Yu Pingzhong woke up from his shock and trance, raised his head and shouted: "Old man, you have always been so partial to me, you have never cared about me. Isn't it just being kicked out of the Yu family? I am not willing to be a member of the Yu family anymore. I am not willing to stay in this rotten Yu family anymore." "get out." The old voice sounded again, high and mighty, indifferent and ruthless, "Remember, you have been expelled from the Yu family. You cannot take anyone with you except you, your wives, concubines, and your children. You cannot take anything with you except the clothes on your back." Yu Pingzhong paused for a moment as he was about to walk away, and shouted angrily, "If you don't want to take it, then don't take it. Who cares?"
Not long after, Yu Pingzhong stormed out of Fangchun Garden, and hurriedly left the manor with a few reluctant and crying ladies, two sons and seven daughters. After leaving the area where the lights were so bright that it was as bright as day, the traces soon disappeared under the cover of night. "Something ugly has happened in my family. I'm sorry to have made you all laugh at me." Cang Lao's voice came again, resounding throughout the whole courtyard, "Please don't blame me, let's continue playing the music and dancing." This is an attitude of disdain to refute rumors, and guests arriving tonight are requested not to believe in rumors or spread them. The light screen above the night sky shattered as these words were spoken. The scene of Fangchun Garden can no longer be seen. The guests had already eaten a large portion of the melon, and even though they were still a little unsatisfied and wanted to continue eating, they restrained their thoughts due to the authority of the owner of the old voice. They really continued to play music and dance. After a while, with singing and dancing and clinking glasses, the atmosphere returned to its warm and festive state, even more festive and lively. The atmosphere in Fangchun Garden was no longer as gloomy as before. Qi Wanyi stopped sobbing and burst into tears. Yu Zhuo put away his anger, squatted beside Qi Wanyi, and lowered his head. Yu Kouzhong looked at his eldest son and daughter-in-law with pity in his eyes and no expression on his face. He was silent for a long time and said in a deep voice: "Sometimes, in order to survive, you have to make sacrifices." Yu Zhuo raised his head, his eyes red, but his voice was flat, as if he was asking mechanically: "So our family must be sacrificed, right?" "I'm not afraid of death." "Wanyi is not afraid either." "But Wanyi's reputation is tainted, and she can't wash it off even if she jumps into the Cangyun River." "Even if I die, I won't die cleanly!" After hearing Yu Zhuo's questions, Yu Kouzhong actually grinned and said, "Do you think Wanyi has had a good reputation since she married into our Yu family? The things she eats, drinks, uses, and applies on a daily basis have already ruined her reputation." Yu Kouzhong turned around and said, "I won't waste time talking to you here. Tonight, you two should stay here well, and tomorrow morning, we will die together. Don't worry, I have sent your son away. He will grow up under the care of the second brother's family, and he will find an opportunity to restore our Yu family in the future." After saying this, Yu Kouzhong walked out of Fangchun Garden and went to the front yard to join the banquet and greet the guests. In the pavilion, Huang Junshi waited for Tao Tie to finish drinking the pot of Yuehua wine, then stood up immediately and said, "Let's go back. This place is too dirty." "Okay, teacher." Tao Tie agreed, then stood up and left the villa. Perhaps it was the effect of the Moonlight Wine that broke out, or perhaps it was influenced by the full moon tonight, the turbid Yin body of the Yin God "Taiyi Great Emperor" had refined a small part of the "turbidity" and was not far from pure Yin. At the same time, a wonderful temporary miracle occurred.
Tao Tie had a feeling that the world was so vast that he could see, hear, and know everything no matter where it was. This feeling was amplified by the enhanced [Knowing Everything], making Tao Tiexin yearn for it even more and want to indulge in it. But Tao Tie knew that this was an illusion, a falsehood, not reality, so he did not go there and did not indulge in it. In the blink of an eye, Tao Tie subdued his restless mind. Then I saw Liu Pingquan standing in a simple courtyard, holding a knife in both hands, chopping at an old man in his twilight years, saying: "Yu Zhenqi, you should have died thirty years ago!" "You've been lucky to survive for thirty years!" "Suffer to death!" (End of this chapter)
