Chapter 15 Wu's Fortune
The Wu family's ancestral house, the compound outside the ancestral hall has gathered more than 400 clansmen.
It should be noted that even if the elderly, weak, women and children are included, the entire Wu clan is only about 800 people. Now it is broad daylight, and it is not a New Year celebration. It stands to reason that all members of the Wu clan should work in various shops and villages.
It is rare to gather so many clansmen.
In the courtyard, many women and children were crying. Several pieces of white cloth covered the ground, and the atmosphere was extremely depressing.
"Brother Yuan is here." A voice suddenly sounded.
"Wu Yuan? That martial arts genius from Jiufang?"
"The patriarch valued him most."
"Hmph, he may become a first-class expert in the future, but now he is only a seventh-rank warrior, what use can he be?" Most of the hundreds of clansmen in the courtyard turned their heads to look, discussing in low voices, curious, doubtful, and equally concerned. Disdain.
The Wu family is not a thousand-year-old family. There are only a few hundred people in the clan. Every Chinese New Year and the three major festivals, most of the clan members will gather in the ancestral house.
As for Wu Yuan, he has been favored by the patriarch 'Wu Qiming' over the past few years, and he is well-known in the clan, and he made a big splash in the martial arts competition a few months ago.
Therefore, very few people in the clan do not know Wu Yuan.
Hoo! call!
Wu Yuan followed Wu Dongyao and a few others, passing through the crowd who voluntarily gave way, and saw the situation in the courtyard at a glance.
Weeping women and children, and... corpses!
Six dead bodies.
Although Wu Dongyao had learned the general story from Wu Dongyao, he had also heard about the brutality of the 'outside the city gang'.
Being able to 'hear' and see are two different things!
In his previous life, Wu Yuan fought against mechas, fought against "gene beasts", and created a legend of "1,870 consecutive victories" on the "Star Fighting Network" of the metaverse.
Only he never really killed anyone!
Homicide is against the law.
In the interstellar era, what about martial arts masters? Skynet monitors the entire planet, and the interstellar railgun can annihilate a super city with one shot, and there is no room for warriors to play.
The first goal of martial arts training in the interstellar era is to pursue the evolution of life.
Martial arts masters mostly rely on live broadcasts, master duels, pan-solar system martial arts peak battles, etc. to grab wealth.
Instead of shopping and fighting.
When I came to Middle-Earth, although I read many classics and merged with the memories of my predecessors, I knew that this world is cruel, and there are many people who use weapons to commit crimes.
But today, it was the first time Wu Yuan actually encountered him.
Really dead.
Among the weeping women and children, not only did Wu Yuan know them, but Wu Yuan was very familiar with them.
There is a family, only tens of meters away from Wu Yuan's house.
Blood relatives died like this, which greatly touched Wu Yuan.
After knowing the cause and effect, the killing intent in Wu Yuan's heart, which already had a trace of killing intent, became even stronger.
"Wu Yuan, let's enter the meeting hall." Wu Dongyao whispered.
Wu Yuan nodded.
The two of them walked quickly through the ancestral hall and entered the meeting hall deep in the house. There were very few people here, only four people.
Wu Yuan, who followed Wu Dongyao, knew in his heart that when the patriarch Wu Qiming was detained, the few people present were the current principals of the Wu family.
"Wu Yuan, I have met all of you uncles." Wu Yuan bowed slightly to salute.
This ceremony is performed by Wu Yuan on behalf of his predecessors, and it is also to thank the clan for their help and support for him.
"Wu Yuan and Dong Yao are here." The gray-bearded old man who was sitting on the side forced a smile: "Sit down first."
"Sit down." The black-robed youth on the other side also said.
"Uncles." Wu Yuan stood up, he was already 1.8 meters tall, if it wasn't for his youthful face, no one would dare to say that he was only 'fourteen years old'.
"On the way, I have already learned what happened from Uncle Dongyao." Wu Yuan said: "The Zhuangzi in the south of the city was destroyed, and the patriarch was detained. This time, the Liehu Gang did too much."
"Wu Yuan."
The black-robed bald man who didn't speak just now said coldly: "I asked you to come today, not because you are qualified to attend the family meeting, but because I want you to take out the financial support from the family temporarily so that the family can tide over the current difficulties. , you don’t need to say much.”
"Uncle Long, according to you, who is eligible to attend the family meeting?" Wu Yuan said indifferently.
"Either you become a 'scholar' through the imperial examination, or you become the shopkeeper of Liangzhuang No. 3, or you reach the sixth-rank martial artist." The bald man named 'Wu Long' said coldly: "You little baby, wait until you are older. .”
"Uncle Long." Wu Yuan's voice was still calm: "If you are a sixth-rank martial artist, then I think I am qualified to speak now."
As soon as this remark came out, all four were shocked.
Wu Dongyao, Wu Long, and the gray-bearded old man all looked at Wu Yuan in astonishment, with a trace of disbelief in their eyes.
Wu Yuan's subtext is that he already has the strength of a martial artist.
Suddenly.
"Boom!" The man named Wu Long suddenly moved.
He leaped two feet away, as fast as a cheetah, and when he stepped on the ground, cracks appeared on the large bluestone bricks on the ground. Without any pause, his five fingers gathered into fists, and slammed heavily at Wu Yuan!
"No." The gray-bearded old man instinctively exclaimed.
"Wu Long, stop." Wu Dongyao was also startled, trying to stop Wu Long's pace, but he was in a hurry, a seventh-rank warrior, how could he react?
Everyone's expressions changed.
"Boom!"
There was a dull explosion, which was beyond the expectations of many senior officials of the Wu family. Wu Yuan didn't retreat and counterattacked, but also hit him with the same punch.
Under the impact of tens of thousands of catties, the ground cracked instantly.
Wu Long didn't take a step back, and slowly retracted his punches. There was disbelief in his eyes, and even a hint of joy.
Wu Yuan staggered back a few steps, as if he was invincible, he stopped just now, but his eyes seemed to be full of dissatisfaction.
The two sides competed to make a verdict.
In the chamber, there was silence. Wu Dongyao, the gray-bearded old man and the other four were all shocked at this scene.
Wu Long, but the second master of the Wu family in Licheng!
It can explode with a force of 15,000 jin.
Facing Hong Xia head-on, how could he not crush Wu Yuan? It's just a slight advantage, and the gap is not very obvious.
This shows that Wu Yuan's strength is at least tens of thousands of catties!
"Haha, good! You didn't lie."
Wu Long was not angry at all, and a smile appeared on his stern face: "Boy Wu Yuan, it was you, Uncle Long, who I blamed on you. From now on, you are qualified to speak at family meetings."
"More than three months ago, he was a seventh-rank warrior, and now he has a huge strength?" Wu Dongyao also looked at Wu Yuan like a monster. He has been practicing for so many years and can't become a martial artist.
"Fourteen-year-old martial artist!"
The gray-bearded old man even got up, trembling slightly, extremely excited: "Licheng, the last time such a martial arts genius was born was more than 20 years ago."
"This is my luck!"
"The kid is arrogant, I hope all uncles will forgive me." Wu Yuan's face seemed to have returned to calm.
"Arrogance?"
"Hehe." Wu Long shook his head and smiled, "Boy, are you crazy? If I have your martial arts talent, you, Uncle Long, will be ten times more crazy than you!"
