252: The ancestral teachings cannot be forgotten (4,000 words)

Four hours later.

The President of Huaxia University pointed to the distance and said, "Yu Xiu, that's where the Old Qin People live, in a very large valley nestled among those layers of mountains."

"Of course, there are also many Secret Realms and ruins within the valley, and some Old Qin People also reside in them."

"In short, when I came last time, I roughly checked, and there are at least a million Old Qin People in the Qinling Mountains."

A million?

Hearing this number, Yu Xiu's heart couldn't help but sink.

If he remembered correctly, the former Old Qin People once occupied an entire province.

And a province in the Northwest also covered a very vast area.

Counting it up.

The former Old Qin People had at least tens of millions of people, or even more.

But after entering the Martial Dao era.

And after a hundred years of development.

The current Old Qin People only numbered just over a million.

One can imagine.

How many Old Qin People sacrificed themselves in the Qinling Mountains to block the Vicious Beasts.

"Yu Xiu, what are you thinking about?"

The President of Huaxia University also noticed Yu Xiu's low spirits and asked curiously.

"President!"

Yu Xiu looked up, his voice low and hoarse, "The Old Qin People once had tens of millions of people!"

"But now, after a hundred years of development in the Martial Dao era, they barely number a million. This..."

At this point, Yu Xiu couldn't continue, not knowing what to say.

"The former Old Qin People had over sixty million, but the Vicious Beasts appeared too suddenly, and our ancestors fought them in close combat with their lives and broadswords."

The President of Huaxia University seemed to recall past events and the tragic scenes, his voice also becoming somber.

"But you know!"

"Those were Vicious Beasts; their speed and hide were even tougher than a tiger's."

"Our ancestors might have sacrificed dozens, or even hundreds, of lives to kill one Vicious Beast."

Speaking of this, the President of Huaxia University's eyes reddened, and his voice choked, "Don't they know that many people would sacrifice themselves this way?"

"How could they not know!"

The President of Huaxia University suddenly raised his voice, as if venting.

"But they knew that just beyond this great mountain, their compatriots resided."

"Behind this great mountain, there were still many hungry children, and many teenagers carrying school bags and studying."

"Just as you said."

"When the youth are strong, the nation is strong!"

"The Old Qin People didn't have so many thoughts; they only knew that the youth were the future hope of the Chinese nation and could not die!"

"Once the Vicious Beasts crossed that mountain, the hope of the Chinese nation would be extinguished."

"I remember the Old Master once said, 'We can be forgotten; we can choose not to be heroes.'"

"'But we cannot be sinners of the Chinese nation.'"

At this moment, the President of Huaxia University couldn't help but shed tears.

"Yu Xiu, do you know?"

"The Old Qin People are clearly heroes!"

"They are heroes!"

"They sacrificed so many lives, yet why do they still worry about becoming sinners?"

"Why is that?"

Yu Xiu's face was grim, and he remained silent.

He didn't know what to say.

The Old Qin People's unwillingness for Vicious Beasts to cross this mountain was their bottom line, perhaps their last belief.

"If everyone in China were like the Old Qin People, what reason would I, Yu Xiu, have not to fight for this nation, and what excuse not to shed my blood for this nation?"

Yu Xiu thought silently in his heart.

He clenched his jaw tightly.

Countless times.

Someone told him, you must fight for this nation, fight for its rise.

You have Talent, you have strength.

This is your responsibility.

But Yu Xiu always shook his head.

It wasn't that he was heartless.

It was that he saw no hope.

Ever since he came to this world, he understood it through the original owner's memories.

Everything!

It was all dark.

Greedy wealthy families.

Chaotic rules.

The reason Yu Xiu refused.

It was because he didn't want to fight only for wealthy families to reap the rewards afterward.

A hero?

Perhaps he didn't want to be a hero.

But he certainly had a desire for the nation's rise.

No regrets in this life for entering China.

In the next life, still in the land of flowers.

"President, am I really doing the right thing?"

This was the first time Yu Xiu doubted himself.

The Old Qin People could face extinction for this nation, but what about him?

He seemed quite selfish.

"Everyone has their own way of living!"

The President of Huaxia University clearly knew what Yu Xiu was talking about.

"You must know, you are only seventeen years old. Although your strength is great, some things should not be borne by someone your age."

"You have not enjoyed any welfare from this country."

"Your path of Martial Dao, everything you achieve is on your own."

"Even when you were in high school, you never enjoyed Martial Dao resources."

"How can you have feelings for a place that has shown you no kindness?"

Yu Xiu looked up and asked, "But why can the Old Qin People do that?"

"Didn't they consider the consequences? Didn't they consider their retreat?"

The President of Huaxia University looked up at the sky, seemingly lost in thought.

After a long while.

He finally said, "You are wrong. I remember the Old Master told me."

"China before the Martial Dao era was different from China now."

"At that time, everyone was like a Dragon, a hundred flowers bloomed, and everywhere there was fairness, justice, and equality for all."

"But now it's different; after martial arts became supreme, the world became chaotic."

"The poor had no way out."

"It was precisely in such an environment that the Old Qin People were willing to fight desperately."

"You don't understand this spirit."

Hearing these words, Yu Xiu's mind seemed to recall his previous life.

That place seemed to be the same.

If he lived in such a place.

Yu Xiu could guarantee.

He would also be willing to fight for the nation.

Even if he shed his last drop of blood.

"Yu Xiu!"

At this moment, the President of Huaxia University said, "China is too dark and chaotic now. Have you ever thought that one day you could change all of this with your abilities?"

Yu Xiu froze in place and asked, "President, what do you mean by that?"

The President of Huaxia University sighed.

"Alas, I won't hide it from you anymore."

"Actually, the cabinet once made a decision, hoping to cultivate you into a Marshal-level figure and let you lead China."

"They hope you can rebuild the order of China and prevent this ancestral land of China from being as dark as it is now."

"You must know, a Marshal holds the power to command a hundred thousand troops, and they even want to give you the right to lead China."

"Have you ever thought about how terrifying this power is?"

"Once you harbor thoughts of rebellion, it would be a great disaster."

"From this, you can see the cabinet's trust and expectations for you."

Marshal?

Yu Xiu was truly stunned this time.

Because he knew very well.

The meaning of being granted the title of Marshal.

And being given the power to lead China, you must know, this is similar to the power of ancient feudal lords.

If Yu Xiu plotted something nefarious.

Then the entire China would become his personal domain.

"Let's talk about that later!"

Yu Xiu currently had no intention of discussing this issue.

Because the matter of being granted Marshal was just hearsay from the President of Huaxia University.

Moreover, if the cabinet gave him such great power, there must be more conditions involved.

Yu Xiu didn't believe it.

The cabinet would support him unconditionally.

Of course.

Yu Xiu also worried about unconditional support.

Because what's free is often the most expensive.

"Indeed, let's talk about that later. Our main goal now is to first build up the Kirin Small World!"

The President of Huaxia University also understood the pros and cons of the situation and did not bring up the matter again.

After a couple more casual remarks.

The President of Huaxia University suddenly called out, "Yu Xiu, we've arrived. Let's land in this valley."

After crossing the Qinling Mountains.

Yu Xiu had lowered his flight altitude.

Because flying too high, with clouds surrounding them, they couldn't see the ground clearly.

Although these clouds had no effect on Yu Xiu, they affected the President of Huaxia University.

He didn't know the way.

He needed the President of Huaxia University to guide him.

"Divine Beast Kirin?"

"Or a Nine-Colored Qilin?"

As Yu Xiu and the President of Huaxia University landed, the Old Qin People on the ground immediately cast their gazes.

Their eyes held vigilance and worry.

"Uncle Shen?"

But upon seeing the President of Huaxia University on the back of the Nine-Colored Qilin, they immediately dropped their guard, their faces filled with honest smiles.

From this.

They also guessed Yu Xiu's identity.

"Uncle Shen, is he Yu Xiu?"

Several patrolling middle-aged men gathered around, first greeting the President of Huaxia University, then looking at Yu Xiu.

"That's right, he is Yu Xiu."

The President of Huaxia University smiled and nodded.

Among the middle-aged men, the leader extended his hand to Yu Xiu and said, "Hello, Yu Xiu, I'm Li De Lin. I'm very happy you could visit us in the Qinling Mountains."

"I'm also very happy!"

Yu Xiu reached out and shook Li De Lin's hand, a smile on his face.

Especially the honest and simple smiles of Li De Lin and the others, which easily gave a good impression.

"Uncle Shen, didn't Li Gou Dan and the others come back with you?"

At this moment, Li De Lin looked left and right, not seeing Li Gou Dan and the other two, so he asked curiously.

"They definitely came back."

The President of Huaxia University smiled.

Which only made Li De Lin and the others even more puzzled.

They couldn't help but look around again, still not seeing the figures of Li Gou Dan and the other two.

"Don't look anymore, Li Gou Dan and the other two aren't here."

The President of Huaxia University saw the expressions of Li De Lin and the others, couldn't help but smile, then looked at Yu Xiu, "Let them out!"

"Okay!"

Yu Xiu nodded, waving his hand to conjure a Kirin Portal out of thin air.

This immediately startled Li De Lin and the others, their faces instantly showing vigilance.

Because they had heard from the Old Masters that the Vicious Beasts had come to this world through such means.

Although the portals were different, they had the same effect.

"Don't be nervous!"

"No Vicious Beasts will come out of here."

The President of Huaxia University clearly guessed Li De Lin's thoughts and explained, "We talked about migration earlier. This is the portal to the world Yu Xiu controls, and Li Gou Dan and the others are in that world."

Just as the President of Huaxia University was explaining, four figures walked out of the Kirin Portal, which were Li Gou Dan and his two companions.

The last one to walk out was Old Master Chu.

"We actually returned to the Qinling Mountains. This is too magical."

Li Gou Dan and the others were surprised, then looked up and saw the people in front of them, happily shouting, "Uncle De Lin!"

However.

At this moment, Li De Lin and the others had no mind to pay attention to Li Gou Dan and his companions, but instead circled the Kirin Portal, examining it carefully.

"Strange!"

"It's clearly just a door, and there's nothing behind the door, so how come passing through this door makes it different?"

"That's right, Li Gou Dan and the others could walk out of this door."

Li De Lin and the others discussed while examining closely.

The President of Huaxia University chuckled, "What's so strange? Aren't there also Secret Realms and ruins in the Qinling Mountains?"

"When you enter, isn't it also like walking in this way?"

Li De Lin shook his head and said, "Uncle Shen, this is different! The portals to the Secret Realms and ruins are fixed, but this door was clearly summoned by Yu Xiu at will. How can they be the same?"

Hearing this, the President of Huaxia University was speechless.

Because he also didn't know why Yu Xiu could conjure a Kirin Portal out of thin air, and could do so anytime, anywhere.

"Of course, that's different."

The President of Huaxia University explained, "The Secret Realms and ruins in the Qinling Mountains are ownerless, but the Kirin Small World has an owner."

Ultimately, the President of Huaxia University attributed this matter to the World Master.

"That's right, Uncle De Lin!"

At this moment, Li Gou Dan also chimed in, "Yu Xiu can summon wind and rain, summon lightning, and he can also walk and run in the air. He is a god."

Listening to these abilities Li Gou Dan mentioned.

Li De Lin was even more dumbfounded.

A god?

That's right!

If such methods weren't divine, what else could they be?

"Alright, stop dawdling here. Let's go see the Old Master!"

The President of Huaxia University urged.

Li De Lin and the others immediately reacted, "Okay, follow me."

Li De Lin and a few others led the way.

Yu Xiu also waved his hand to put away the Kirin Portal and followed behind them.

Soon!

Li De Lin led Yu Xiu into a cave, where there was a portal, but it was pitch black, like ripples, or a black hole.

About this.

Yu Xiu was not unfamiliar at all.

Because he had entered ruins before in Wu Mountain, and it was just like this.

"Uncle Shen, we still have patrol duties, so we won't go in."

Li De Lin stopped here and then said to the President of Huaxia University.

"Okay, you go about your business!"

The President of Huaxia University nodded, then took the lead and walked into the portal.

Next were Yu Xiu and Old Master Chu.

Finally, it was Li Gou Dan and his companions.

"Brother De Lin, do you think the Old Master will agree to us migrating from here?"

Watching Yu Xiu and the others enter, a middle-aged man in the patrol team asked.

"I guess he will agree!"

Li De Lin explained, "Our resources here are almost exhausted. Whether it's the Secret Realms or the ruins, the Heaven and Earth Qi within them are almost depleted."

"From the way Li Gou Dan and the others talked this time, it's clear that the Kirin Small World is very good, and the Heaven and Earth Qi within it is very rich."

"For the sake of our Old Qin People's descendants, the Old Master will definitely agree to the migration."

"Of course, the Old Master won't let everyone migrate. The Qinling Mountains also need people to guard them, otherwise, those Vicious Beasts will cross that mountain."

"We cannot forget our ancestral teachings."
