031. Homecoming (Part 2)

This small plain surrounded by mountains is dozens of miles in radius, and a city silhouette stands in the center. The city wall is made of huge stone mined in the mountains, with gates built on all sides and high-rise buildings on all corners of the city wall. People who came to the Northern Wilderness for the first time were shocked to see it from afar. It is an unimaginable miracle to be able to build such a city silhouette in the depths of this wilderness.

A companion in the caravan saw Qiu You's expression wrong. He thought that it was the first time he saw the Shanshui City, so he explained with a smile. This city was the city lord Ruoshan summoned various tribes of the wilderness and received the help of the monks with magical powers. It took nearly ten years to complete it about three years ago.

Although the city has only been completed for three years, this place has long become the center of the Northern Wilderness and the center of exchanges between tribes within a radius of hundreds of miles. The Lord of Shanshui City is already the Lord of the Northern Wilderness, and he is governed not just this city. Now the prosperity of Shanshui City has far surpassed the Gaocheng nearest to this on Bayuan.

Qiu You felt a sense of hatred inexplicably. Those who enjoyed all this should have been the Youyu clan, and the city lord should have been the leader of the Yu Village. However, all of this is now occupied by Ruoshan, and this city was built by the Youyu clan, who is a slave, with blood and tears. Standing here is simply a sign of hatred and humiliation.

Qiu You couldn't help but think that if his plan was successful in the prime minister's country, Gong Yang and Yu Xuan would be able to come here, and they would be impressed by him. How wise his suggestion was that occupying such a city and becoming the lord of the Northern Wilderness was much more free and easy than the monarch who was trapped in the remnant land.

Unfortunately, the sky is not as good as the human being. Now he can only sneak into the Northern Wilderness alone to find a chance to take revenge on the mountain. However, since Shanshui City is so powerful, Qiu You did not act rashly. He first had to figure out the current situation and the changes that year. After entering the city, Qiu You found an excuse to quietly leave the caravan, change his clothes and disappear into the crowd again.

Qiu You found someone in the city to inquire about the current situation of the fish clan. Unexpectedly, several people were asked about it and they didn't know anything, and they didn't even hear about the fish clan. But later he met an acquaintance at the market. He was also a member of the original fish village. This person no longer knew Qiu You, so he was just inquiring about it.

Unexpectedly, when the man heard that he wanted to inquire about the fish clan of the past, his expression immediately became very strange. He waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Don't ask me, I don't know anything, I have never heard of any fish clan." Then he hurried away as if he was avoiding the plague.

This made Qiu You feel suspicious, and he pretended to be wandering in the market, deliberately looking for the original Yu Village tribe. He really found several people, came forward to ask about the situation of the Yu Village tribe. Unexpectedly, the reactions of these people were similar to those of the previous person. Some were startled, some showed fear or disgust, and they all said they didn't know, and asked Qiu You to go away and not bother them.

It was just more than ten years ago that the clan of the fish village was a slave. It was impossible for no one to know about it in the wilderness. So Qiu You found an elderly man and bought several items in the other party's shop. Then he asked: "This old man, more than ten years ago, there was a fish village in this area, and there was a fish clan in the village. Where are they now?"

The old man wondered, "There are fish clans, it's gone. Why are you asking about them?"

Qiu You explained: "More than ten years ago, I came here with my father and I stayed in Youyu Village for a long time and met many people in Youyu Village. But now I am here again. Youyu Village has completely changed, and the fish clan has disappeared. I just saw several acquaintances of that year in the market, but they were unwilling to pay attention to me, and they said they had never heard of Youyu Village at all."

The elder shook his head and said, "Young man. It's not your business, so don't ask anymore. No one will be happy to reveal the old scars of others. The Yucun clan was convicted and has now been pardoned by Shan Ye. They don't want to mention the past again, nor do they want to hear others mention it."

Qiu You inquired for most of the day and never got the key points. The elder obviously didn't want to talk about this topic, and he was just an ordinary vendor and didn't know much about it. All the tribe members were pardoned by Ruoshan, but some fish clan disappeared in the wilderness. Is this the condition for Ruoshan to pardon them? To cover up the crimes committed by him, the city lord.

But if you change the angle, Qiu You himself may think this idea is ridiculous. Does it take so many living things to cover up his crimes and their descendants? Even if Yu Village will be exterminated, who can say what ten years later?

...

At dusk, Laoyan was shut up and went home after he was cooked and sold the remaining fish in the fish shop for dinner. The two children ate their fill and went to bed first. Laoyan hugged his wife and went into the house to rest. His name was originally called "Give Disease", because his father happened to be sick when he was born, and wanted to use this to get a good chance to restore his health. But the names of each other in the village are very simple, and now everyone calls him Laoyan.

The origin of old disease also has a clan surname, which should be called fish to cure diseases. However, no one has used the clan surname "fish", and no one even mentioned it again. I wish everyone would forget this. The old disease life is very comfortable now. After he was freed from his slave status three years ago, he now feels so good that he can't be better.

Youyu Village at that time has completely changed its appearance and has been submerged in newly built large buildings. The old and sick people still live in the old houses of the past. There are not many people like him. Most of the Yu Village people are now scattered in the wilderness, and many of them settle in the mountains and rivers.

After being intimate with his wife, Lao Yan fell asleep while snoring. After a while, he woke up inexplicably. The room was dark, but he could see a figure standing in front of the bed. Lao Yan was startled and subconsciously wanted to scream. He touched a stick not far from the head of the bed, but was shocked to find that he could not make a sound and could not move.

The man standing on the bed said, "Uncle San, don't be afraid, it's me, fish and swimming, do you still remember?" As he spoke, the light lit up in the room, illuminating the face of a young man, the driver who saw in the fish shop during the day.

Lao Yan felt that his body could move again, so he sat up and reached out to grab one of the young man's arm and said, "You Wazi, is it you? It's really you, you are finally back." Then he sighed, "It's okay to come back now, it's okay, it's all over..."

There was a light in the house but it could not be heard outside the house. I don’t know where the light came from. Lao Yan and Qiu You were talking, but the wife sleeping beside her and the two children in the other house did not notice it at all, and were still immersed in their sleep. Lao Yan said in horror again: "What's going on? Is this the magical power of the immortal family? I almost forgot that you had the cultivation level at the beginning."

Qiu You: "Don't be surprised, Uncle San, I was fortunate to receive guidance from the immortal master outside the mountain. Now I have the great magical powers of the immortal family. When I come back here, I want to avenge my clan members."

Laoyan has not come back to his senses yet, and he reacted a little late and asked in a daze: "What kind of revenge is to take revenge?... You saw me in the daytime, why didn't you call me? Why did you run like this in the middle of the night?... My son, have you been hiding back for something outside, but you dare not see anyone?"

Qiu You: "Of course, it is to avenge the leader of the Big Shell clan back then, and also to avenge me as a clan of Yu Village. I did not recognize my third uncle during the day, so I did not want to reveal my identity to make Na Ruoshan alert. I came to ask the third uncle for the situation tonight..."

It took a long time to get old and sick to figure out Qiu You's purpose. He endured humiliation outside the mountain for more than ten years and became a master. Now that he has achieved great success in his cultivation, he has finally returned. He not only wants to avenge his revenge but also save his clan members. However, under the pressure of Ruoshan's years of pressure, the clan members now have no courage to admit their original identity.

Qiu You planned to do two things: one was to defeat Ruoshan and overthrow his rule in Shanshui City, and the other was to contact the Youyu Village tribe who was back to stand up and restore his former glory. If he followed his original plan and formally seized the authority of Shanshui City with the help of Gong Yang and Yuxuan, these things would certainly be easy to deal with, but now he only has one person left, so he must have the cooperation and support of all tribesmen.

Qiu You said excitedly: "Although Ruoshan pardoned everyone, he wiped out the existence of the Youyu Clan forever, making everyone forget the past. True liberation is not that he is no longer a slave in his identity, but also requires a strong heart. He must stand up and proudly announce that we are the tribesmen of Youyu Clan and become the masters of destiny, and also the masters of the tribes of the Northern Wilderness..."

Laobing was startled and almost reached out to cover his mouth. He shook his head repeatedly and said, "You Wazi, what nonsense are you talking about? You were not in the village back then, so you didn't know what happened. Dake invited the tribe leaders of various tribes to discuss alliances, and ambushed the military formation in advance, and planned to destroy whoever was disobedient. You, the third uncle, were the small team leader in the military formation at that time.

What's even more excessive is that Dake also bribed the Yu people in the deep mountains and almost destroyed Lu Village while the tribes were discussing. But he still underestimated Shan Ye. The Yu people could not destroy Lu Village. Shan Ye and Lord Gu Xin were also prepared. Dake was killed and we were all arrested. At that time, we were frightened and thought we would have died.

Fortunately, Shan Ye only killed the big shells of the fish, spared the lives of the Youyu Village tribe, and punished us for ten years. At that time, the strong men who were incorporated into the Yu Village military formation went to build the city blocks, and the rest went to various tribes to farm and fish. The more important task was to teach those deep-sea tribes to farm and fish.

After the ten-year period expired, everyone scattered all over the world, and they were no longer slaves for their crimes, and they had already taken over the past. Nowadays, the tribe members are unwilling to mention the past, nor do they say that they were once surnamed Yu, because it was embarrassing to mention it. Who said they were anxious to follow whom... You still have to ask, it would be good if they didn't scold you."

Qiu You was stunned for a while, and said in a angrily tone: "I have been a slave for ten years. Have you been slave to the core? I don't even dare to admit my origin? Uncle San, if you are afraid of Ruoshan like others, so you dare not tell the truth, then don't worry. Now I have great powers, and I will definitely be able to take Ruoshan if I take action.

Let me tell you the truth, I want the Youyu clan to become the leader of the Northern Wilderness and let the Lu clan be slaves. Since Ruoshan has pardoned everyone, I should do things fairly, so I will give the Lu clan members a slave for ten years."

Lao Yan: "Why am I afraid of Shan Master? No one here is afraid of Shan Master, you have found out what you have learned today. Now there is no fish clan, nor the road clan, the flower sea clan. Everyone calls themselves Shanshui clan. It's been a long time since they lived a comfortable life, so don't bother with Uncle San and yourself. Don't let people hear what they said just now..." To be continued.
