Am I the only one who didn't ascend?

Chapter 147
The conversation between father and son continued to reverberate slightly in the empty underground chamber, and the atmosphere continued to become colder.

Yu Xiaobo was silent for a long time, and finally couldn't help laughing: "So in your eyes, I am already a corpse?"

As he spoke, he raised his head and looked at the unreachable ceiling through the dim spiritual light in the chamber. Even with his golden elixir body, he could only vaguely see the mysterious patterns engraved there.

"This should be the spiritual chamber downstairs of Mu Yu, right? According to legend, it was built by the Mahayana Lord of the old world. More than 1000 years ago, one of the powerful heroes of Dinghuang, Dou Zun, was corroded by the desolate poison. At that time, Zhi Yao Zun The Lord imprisoned him here. The Dou Zun raged for ten days and ten nights in the spirit chamber, and finally the desolate poison was dispersed. But this spirit chamber endured the full force of a God-transformed Dou Zun, but not even a scratch was found. No trace was left... With such a strong barrier, why should I die?"

Yu Wannian couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he saw his son trying his best to maintain his grace and talk freely.

Although this son was over-arrogant and unworthy of education, from beginning to end, he regarded his father as a god-like idol and tried his best to imitate and chase after him.

This is indeed his son, the son born to him and his most beloved woman.

So after sighing in his heart, Yu Wannian slowly said: "Indeed, the walls of this spiritual chamber are extremely strong, and there is a military discipline order from the academy, which is almost equivalent to being protected by heaven. I don't believe that Wang Luo can be separated by a hundred miles. Killing invisible. However, the person who took your life was not Wang Luo from the beginning, but yourself."

Yu Xiaobo was startled: "Is it me?"

Yu Wannian stared at his son seriously and asked, "Why do you want to provoke him?"

"Why? He is the biggest obstacle to taking care of Shijie! Without him, the declining Shi family would not be qualified at all..."

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Yu Wannian's voice was not harsh, but it made Yu Xiaobo's whole body tremble, and all the resentment in his heart disappeared without a trace.

"You know very well what I'm asking. The initial conflict did arise from the admission of Shijie. There is nothing wrong with your methods against the Shi family, and I agree with it. Later, when you encountered the unexpected factor of Wang Luo, you were not willing to be his alone. But all the previous efforts were wasted, so he went to compete with him personally, but was defeated miserably one after another... At this point, I don't blame you. If it were me, I might not be able to suppress the arrogance in my chest when I was young. But, after that, why did you force the battle? ?”

Yu Xiaobo moved his lips several times, wanting to answer, but couldn't.

Yu Wannian sighed: "You had several contests with him in the academy. You already knew that you were no match, and you dared to admit it later. In this case, why didn't you let go? Wang Luo didn't care about you at that time. No matter how much resentment there is, reconciliation between the two parties doesn’t even cost anything.”

"..." Yu Xiaobo remained silent and slowly lowered his head, hiding his expression in the shadow.

"I know you are dissatisfied, and I also know that you want to say: The Stone Street Autonomy Seal is the price. But, what does a Stone Street Autonomy Seal mean to Bolanzhuang? What does even the Shi Family mean? This price, Can’t Bolan Village afford it?”

"..."

Yu Wannian sighed: "So, it is not Bolanzhuang that cannot afford the price, but you. The price is not the Stone Street Autonomous Seal, but your hope to inherit the family business."

Having said this, Yu Xiaobo finally could no longer remain silent.

"Yes, I just want to inherit the family business. Is there anything wrong?! I know that in terms of talent and learning, especially in terms of background, I am far inferior to my three brothers and sisters! But Bolan Village has always only recognized merit, as long as I Can stand..."

"But if you can't make great achievements, so what?" Yu Wannian said calmly, "Have you considered the consequences of knowing that you are invincible? How many connections did you use and how many resources did you use to set up the formation that reduced your fortune from all directions? ? In order to target Wang Luo and attack the innocent people around him, have you calculated how much Taoism will be damaged and how much reputation will be ruined? Even Wang Luo, you have investigated clearly what kind of force is behind him? "?" Yu Xiaobo's emotion was solidified and disintegrated by these indifferent words, and finally he bowed his head and remained silent again.

"Of course you know it." Yu Wannian said, "You don't need to calculate, you should know that this is a deal that is guaranteed to lose but not to gain. Even if you successfully set up the formation, even if you can really use this formation to cut off Wang Luo's fortune , even if you can really kill him by cutting off his fortune, even if you can really bring the plan back to the original track after his death, and take Stone Street into your hands... in the final analysis, your gains are just a dazzling moment in front of me. It’s just performance. No one has promised you that taking over Shijie is equivalent to inheriting the family business. If you can make meritorious deeds, of course your brothers and sisters can too. In fact, they have also done very well in other places. "

Yu Xiaobo suddenly clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.

Yu Wannian said: "So you just can't afford to lose. Like a greedy gambler, you have bet your life on a gamble that is bound to lose."

After that, there was a long silence between father and son. Yu Wannian turned his gaze back to the life chart in his hand, while Yu Xiaobo raised his head again, looking at the spiritual light above his head, suddenly lost in thought.

After a long time, Yu Xiaobo said: "Yes, I am indeed a irrational gambler. I know that there is a dead end ahead, but I still want to take a chance, even if there is only one percent or one thousandth chance of winning. , I will also risk everything. But..."

Before he finished speaking, Yu Wannian suddenly became furious: "But your life is not your own!"

The angry words made Yu Xiaobo instantly fall into horror.

He had never seen Yu Wannian like this before. In his memory, Yu Wannian could maintain his grace and grace no matter what kind of stormy waves he was in.That was the posture in his dream that he would rather imitate than give up...

But I heard Yu Wannian say angrily and tremblingly: "Your mother was eroded by the poison of desolation when she was young. The poison was so poisonous that it was impossible to remove it. According to the law of desolation, she should be killed on the spot, or at least permanently frozen. She fell into a deep sleep. I tried every means to help her live a normal life within the boundaries of civilization. I suppressed the evil in her body. I only hope that with the advancement of technology, incurable diseases can also be treated. Come to transfer..."

"What, what?!"

"Listen to me!"

"!"

Yu Wannian added: "Originally, although the desolate poison in her body could not be eliminated, it was suppressed by me with the wasteland magic medicine and would no longer spread or explode. In this way, she is basically the same as an ordinary person, and she can live, eat, and drink freely. ...However, there are still two problems. First, her lifespan is destined to be short, and it is difficult for her to live beyond 40 years old; second, she must not have children, which will cause the yin and yang energy in her body to be disordered, otherwise she may die on the spot. .”

"Varied……"

"A rational person would try to prolong her life as much as possible. After all, as time goes by, there may be new life-extending medicines. However, the doctor said that if she did not give birth at that time, she would never be able to have children again. Able."

"..."

"I don't care if I have children with her, but she is willing to sacrifice her life in exchange for a healthy and long relationship between me and her, that is, you! I don't like her choice, but I will always I didn't go against her wishes... After you were born, she fell into extreme weakness. I desperately hired hunters to search for the elixir in the wilderness, trying to save her life. Later, the elixir was found, but what happened to your mother? It was also known to the people of the Dinghuang Legion. I don’t need to say more about what it is to violate the law of deforestation, so your mother was actually under house arrest in the years before her death, and she was strictly isolated from me. Until she When I die, I will have the chance to see her again."

"..."

"Honestly, I don't have any resentment about this, I am only grateful, because this is already extremely exceptional treatment. If it were an ordinary person with no power, there is no way that the Dinghuang Legion would be spared. Of course, I hate you who took away more than ten years of her life and prevented our husband and wife from being reunited in the last few years. She is my favorite woman, but you are not my favorite son. But even so, I will not I watch you die, because your life never belongs to you alone!"
