Chapter 50 Arrangements for Trivial Matters
On this night, Wangxian Village truly ushered in its first carnival in thousands of years...
A real sacrifice, the bodies of 17 demons were burned in the center of the square, igniting the prelude to this carnival.
All the tribe members understand that the days ahead will be very cruel, but they will not affect the carnival at this moment. People always need some reason to celebrate happiness, even a slight happiness can be used to support future hardships.
As the head of the family, I naturally presided over that sacrifice, to pay homage to the demon hunters who had been with me who had been with me through life and death, to pay homage to my younger brothers and sisters who had been unable to meet again for thousands of years, and to all the people who had passed away from the Huo Nie family.
But the carnival does not belong to me. After leaving a necessary process, I still have too many things to deal with.
The village chief temporarily arranged a larger accommodation place for me, right next to his house, so that I could handle some trivial matters before leaving.
However, before that, I visited Hou Cong once.
He was punished by me and thought about it for twenty days in a secluded cave in a claustrophobic cave.
When I found him with wine and food, his condition had been much better after being handled by the doctor. When I saw me, I smiled at me. I habitually patted him on the back, just like those years.
"I knew that when you were not the head of the family, you were the third brother. Ye Zhengling! I knew you would definitely come to see me." Hou Cong smiled proudly.
"When I was the head of the family, I would never show mercy to you." I also laughed. Actually, I knew the implication of his words was to understand me. I could be understood by him. I was moved by hatred in my heart, but I said this, after all, the Huo Nie family needs rules.
"It's right to be merciless. But do you know? When the Tianshu lineage in the village calculates your final result, it is to inherit and integrate memory. From then on, the two lives merged and a complete person, I cried crazy. I was really afraid that when I was a child, the guy who had sex with me disappeared. To say something ruthless, I know that the head of the family is very important. But in my heart, you are more important. Even if you are not that powerful, can't you be the head of the family?" Hou Cong's wound was still painful, and he said such excited words to me, and he couldn't help but grin.
I was moved in my heart. I could imagine Hou Cong's excitement at that time, putting himself in his shoes. If I were him and he was me, my mood would probably be the same, right?
I handed him the wine and stuffed a chicken leg into his hand. He took a big sip and cheered for today's victory.
"Why are you so desperate? I have repeatedly emphasized that we cannot afford to lose any demon hunter." I lit a cigarette, opened a bottle of wine, and took a silent sip with Hou Cong.
"Because in my heart, you are not only the head of the family, but also my best friend and most important brother at that time. I must make you feel better!" Hou Cong said, and suddenly became serious.
I lowered my head and smiled, patted Hou Cong on the shoulder, but my eyes were swollen.
After a while of silence, I said, "There is no need to fight hard now. It's not time to fight hard yet! Do you know how bad the situation of the demon hunter is? How big and how many are there in this world? I don't know anything at all. Monkey, can you understand my anxiety? Maybe, in the future, each of you will face 10 or 100 enemies, and you will know how important your life is!"
Hou Cong was silent and said for a while: "In my life, I have rarely even been to the outside world and have been practicing in this mountain. Is the outside situation so serious?"
"It's only more serious than you think." I lowered my head and sighed. The road ahead in front of me was always cruel, so cruel that I couldn't afford to have a chance to breathe.
"Okay, I understand. In the future, I will be more clever than a real monkey in battle! If you win, kill; if you can't win, try your best to run. If you can do it, you will definitely not be able to act as a hero. The timing is not the best time. Even the weakest enemy, I will be very cautious." Hou Cong gritted his teeth and said seriously.
That was his determination, and he had to be like this, because according to my words, there were so few demon hunters and so many demons to face. If he died, it would mean that he would add another heavy burden to other demon hunters.
"It's great if you think so! I hope you can spread this idea among the demon hunters of the Huo Nie family. We must dare to face any enemy, not be afraid of any enemy, nor be afraid of death. But without the conditions worth sacrificing, we are absolutely not reckless and brave. That is the mistake I made in my previous life, so I will not make such a mistake in this life, and you can't." I said to the monkey seriously.
"Okay! Sure." Houer took another sip of wine happily, and then said to me: "Sister Erhua is sad about your attitude. Do you want to explain it to her?"
"No need, Sister Erhua is going to practice again. She is one of the best demon hunters in the Huo Nie family. Now time is very precious to her, and I will go down the mountain again later. I believe she will understand me soon." Indeed, it takes a certain amount of time for people who were close to me to adapt to my style as the head of the family, and sometimes it is not something that can be explained at any time.
"I have to work hard too." Hou'er took another big sip, and a bottle of wine was actually drunk by him in a few sips.
I opened a bottle for him and said, "In my previous life, I also summarized the practice of many demon hunters. This time, the people from the Nie family brought Huo to Wangxian Village and brought a lot of things from the past. Perhaps some of the important things remained at the headquarters in the past, and I will go and pick them up in the future. No matter what, tomorrow I will ask TNA to give you a piece of practice. When you face the wall, you will also seek peace and practice well, leaving us with less time."
The monkey drank silently, put his hands on my shoulders, but his fists clenched secretly.
After coming out of the monkey, the sky was completely dark. On the other side of Wangxian Village Square, there was a fire that soared into the sky, reflecting half of Wangxian Village, the sky was filled with red light. The lively sound came, which made a smile appear on the corner of my mouth.
Their happiness naturally affects my happiness because they are all my relatives.
If possible, I really want to forget the cruel future and heavy responsibilities to make them happy forever, but this cannot be avoided at all. I can only make myself stronger. I cannot guarantee that they can always be so relaxed, but I want to ensure that they will always be so safe.
When I entered my room, TNA, Su Ling and the village chief were waiting for me, but I couldn't see Brother Zhengchuan.
"Zhengchuan needs to seize the time to practice. He said that if he uses it well during this period, his formation will make rapid progress." This is the first thing he said when he saw my village chief.
"Well. If Brother Zhengchuan needs anything to practice, I hope the Huo Nie family can do their best to support it." After I sat down, Su Ling handed me a cup of hot tea, then stood behind me, gently rubbing my temples for me. This was to make me sober up quickly and then deal with some trivial matters.
"This is natural. The child Zhengchuan finally officially bears the responsibility of revitalizing Mingyang Sect and sees some hope. These two points may have stimulated him. Besides, as his junior brother, he loves you very much, and hopes that he can truly help you in the future, rather than becoming a burden." The village chief said to me seriously.
I took a sip of the hot tea in my hand and said to the village chief: "He has always been my senior brother and has never been a burden to me. I also hope to see the revival of Mingyangmen, but I don't want him to be under too much pressure. When I am not here, the village chief, you should enlighten him more."
I have never been a person who is very good at expressing feelings. I am always with everyone, including when I went to see the monkey just now, and I can't say anything too emotional, but I think the village chief can express this kind of concern to Brother Masakawa.
That’s all for the matter about Brother Masahiro.
Next, the village chief began to tell me some things about Wangxian Village, mainly the personnel and forces of Wangxian Village.
In addition to what I have seen, Wangxian Village also has some hidden forces, some older generation monster hunters, and even some people with special talent for cultivation have become cultivators.
According to the village chief's arrangement, the younger generation of demon hunters are naturally the main force in the battle, and these people are the main force to protect Wangxian Village, the last retreat of the Huo Nie family.
These people generally do not live in the village of Wangxian Village, but walk around the village or live in seclusion in remote corners of the village. They do not easily show their strength, so that they can put some pressure on the younger generation and make them think that Wangxian Village is in crisis at any time and is not so safe.
At this point, I also know that the old man guarding the tomb I had met before was also the hidden power of Wangxian Village.
"The head of the family, these people are also your loyal followers. It can be said that Wangxian Village has been loyal to the head of the family for generations and has been following him to the death because of the life of the ancestors, which was saved by the head of the family with great effort. We have had thousands of years of peaceful days, and they are all gifts from the head of the family. I don't need to say more. I hope that the head of the family can also meet these old people in Wangxian Village, and the hidden sects around it, so the head of the family also needs to go there. In this chaotic era, even the hidden sects may not be able to keep themselves alone, let alone being related to us. Now it is time to unite." After the village chief finished talking about Wangxian Village, he persuaded me earnestly.
I played with the tea bowl lid in my hand and nodded, "These are things I must do. However, I plan to go down the mountain at most tomorrow. No matter what, I will keep my time within a month. During this period, I will only ask the village chief, you can join hands with some old people in the village, and you can worry more."
The village chief sighed silently. If possible, he actually didn't want me to leave and go down the mountain at this time.
Chapter completed!
