Chapter 253: Compassionate as Buddha, Cruel as the Devil

"Okay." Seeing the boy's obedient behavior, Lu Heng smiled and said, "Do you have a name?"

Facing Lu Heng's inquiry, the little boy hesitated for a moment and said, "Back to dad, my mother once named the child, Chen Wuyou... At that time, the child didn't know his father's name."

The little boy wanted to explain, but Lu Heng didn't care about the last name.

He nodded and said, "Well, Shen Wuyou... a good name. What about your sister? What do you call your sister?"

Lu Heng's smile was friendly and his tone was soft.

Seeing that his father was not angry, the little boy breathed a sigh of relief and said.

"Back to dad, my sister's name is Shen Wuyu. Mother said she hoped that my sister would be less competitive and devote herself to hard training, so she was named Wuyu."

The little boy's narration made Lu Heng nod and smile.

"It would be a good idea for your mother to name her...well, Wuyou, Wuyu..."

Lu Heng said after gently reciting these two names.

"Wuyou, next we have to go down to the world and go to Luwu Mountain to find your mother's relics... After your mother passed away, was her body cremated and returned to water according to the humane custom of the Huotong country? Or was it buried according to the custom of the demon cultivator? Earth?"

The little boy said: "Back to daddy, my mother's last words were that she hoped that we could cremate her according to human customs, and scatter her ashes into the Pang River and into the sea..."

"That's it..." Lu Heng thought for a while and said with a smile, "It doesn't matter, we can go to Luwu Mountain to see where you used to live."

"On the way, we can also go find trouble with the demons in Qingming Cave and rescue your sister... Are you willing to go down the mountain with me?"

Lu Heng smiled and said: "Don't agree in a hurry. This time I go down the mountain, I will be surrounded by dangers and I will almost die. When the crisis comes, I may not be able to protect you completely. You have to think carefully."

"If you stay in Hanyu Mountain, at least there will be someone to protect you. The priest from the Attacking Wind Department outside the mountain has a good relationship with me. After I come down from the mountain, he will help take care of the situation in the mountain."

"There are two thousand members of the Attacking Wind tribe here, and no one in the world dares to come to Hanyu Mountain to act recklessly. It is the safest place in the mountain."

Lu Heng's words made the little boy hesitate.

He said: "My child... My child still wants to go with his father to save his sister, but he is afraid of dragging his father back..."

Lu Heng looked at him with a smile, but did not interfere with the little boy's choice.

Under the bamboo pavilion, the little boy struggled for a long time and said.

"My child... my child still wants to go down the mountain with my father..."

"Oh?" Lu Heng seemed surprised and asked with a smile: "Why?"

The little boy looked at Lu Heng worriedly and said, "If dad's trip is really dangerous, then the child can't leave dad. If dad encounters danger outside the mountains and his life is in danger, the child will not be able to feel at ease in the mountains."

"The child has lost his mother, and his sister has been separated. The only relative left is his father...so..."

The little boy was so sad that he sobbed.

Lu Heng nodded, indicating that he understood.

"I understand. You can pack your bags with Sun Yan. This time, you will go with me when you go down the mountain... go ahead."

Waving his hand, Lu Heng signaled the little boy to leave.

The little boy walked away obediently.

Lu Heng sat under the bamboo pavilion, watching quietly as Bai Yuan led the little boy out of sight, and then sighed softly.

Some troubles.

Xiao Ai stood behind him and asked softly: "Lord Wolf God, do you really want to accept this little guy as your son?"

Xiao Ai's question made Lu Heng silent for a few breaths.

Then he sighed: "It's not that I want to recognize him as my son now, but the true origin of this little guy... He now regards me as his only support, but I am not his father."

"It doesn't hurt me if he calls me daddy. Moreover, this child is well-behaved and sensible. Even if we just meet him by chance, we should treat him well and not ignore him."

"But after all, I am not his biological father. To him, I am like the moon in the water or the flower in the mirror. No matter how beautiful I am, it is only a moment of youth."

"One day, when the truth is revealed and he is not my heir, I, Lu Heng, will naturally be fine, but for this child, it will be... alas..."

At this point, Lu Heng couldn't help but sigh, but he couldn't go on.

There was a little melancholy on his face.

Xiao Ai's expression couldn't help but become serious, thinking of such a scene.

For this child, such a result is indeed extremely cruel...

Xiao Ai hesitated for a few breaths and then said: "Then... why not tell him the truth now? If the truth is revealed early, maybe he will suffer much less harm."

But Lu Heng shook his head and said: "With this child's current mood, if you tell the truth, he will definitely not believe it and will just think that I don't want to recognize him."

"Don't look at him as if he has a weak and resigned temperament, but he is actually strong at heart."

"If I don't want to recognize him, he will lose his last hope and will never stay in the mountains for a long time. He will definitely try his best to leave."

"At that time, he will be wandering alone and helpless in the wilderness, with no one to rely on, and burdened with the grievances and hatred of his sister who was kidnapped by the demon, his mother's new death, and his father's refusal to recognize him. And with the slightest temptation from someone with evil intentions, I am afraid that I will soon fall into the devil's path and be used by evil spirits."

"At that time, even if I killed him... Even though he is not my heir, I can't just sit back and watch this child step into the devil's path..."

Lu Heng sighed softly.

Xiao Ai lowered his eyebrows and snorted softly: "After all, it is the evil mind of the demon shadow... Humph! The evil methods are vicious!"

Xiao Ai was extremely angry.

Lu Heng laughed, shook his head and said, "This is the devil... Without such a vicious mind, how could he fall into the devil's path?"

"People with vicious minds often fall into the devil's path, killing people to practice Qigong, and eating blood to refine their Qi. Then due to the influence of demon arts, their minds become more vicious and cruel, so they kill more people and practice more vicious demon arts. This is a An endless cycle of negativity.”

"That's why demons and monsters are constantly killing people because there are endless vicious people in the world. If you make a wrong move and get used to the taste of the demonic power eroding your bones, you will never be able to return to the right path."

"But even if the demonic cultivators continue to kill, we can't just sit idly by and ignore them."

"Now that you have seen it, you should find a way to destroy it. Otherwise, using the cultivation of such a demon to wreak havoc and poison mortals will be a disaster for all living beings and a tragedy for the world."

"It's okay to come after me now. At least I, Lu Heng, have some countermeasures, so that I won't become a plaything in the hands of evil spirits like a mortal, unable to resist..."

Quietly looking at the mountains outside Hanyu Mountain, Lu Heng's eyes were distant, as if he saw the terrifying scene of evil spirits entrenched in the wilderness and cannibalism behind the mountains.

And such human tragedy has been going on in Huotong for five years, nearly six years.

Since their traces were revealed five years ago, the evil spirits in Qingming Cave have stopped hiding and began to harass and kill mortals wantonly.

Today, the city gates are closed, merchants are extinct, and the lives of mortals are like grass. They are no longer as peaceful as they were five years ago.

Five years... I don't know how many children have just been born, and what they have seen is such a terrifying world full of blood and fear.

I don’t know how many children grew up in such a fearful world...

A trace of compassion flashed in Lu Heng's eyes.

Murderous intent emerged in his heart.

After such a long time of turmoil, it’s time to end this horrible picture scroll of demons dancing around...
