Under One Person: I Opened the Age of Mythology

Chapter 155: Past Events, Lu Family Sins (3K)

PS: The following is an original plot, which was not revealed in the original novel. If there are any similarities, "Painting Demons of Mountains and Seas" was also written by me.

1944 years.

After the list of thirty-six thieves was exposed.

The thirty-six people on the list were either captured and dealt with by their own sects or fled. Only one person did not escape and had no way to escape...

That’s Duanmu Ying!

At that time, after learning that the list had been exposed, Duanmu Ying hid in an inn next to her own clinic with a big belly, and the baby in her belly was the child of her and her "little teacher" - Wang Zizhong.

As she was about to give birth, she couldn't run long distances at this time. In order not to affect her child, she couldn't use the "Shuangquan Hand" to change her body. She could only write a letter to Wang Zizhong and ask him to find a way to save her.

however……

She didn't know that for the Lu family's huge bounty, the doctor who delivered the letter for her betrayed himself, and the letter eventually fell into the hands of the Lu family.

After that, she was taken back to Lujia Village by the Lu family and locked up in a dungeon. From then on, no news about Duanmu Ying was heard in the world.

……

……

In a few days...

"father!"

"Are we going a little too far?"

In the Lu family's meeting hall, the young man Lu Ci was frowning and loudly questioning his father.

"She's still pregnant, her body is weak, and she's about to give birth. If she continues like this, there will probably be big problems!"

In his opinion, even if Duanmu Ying had sworn brotherhood with Wu Gensheng and had mastered extraordinary skills, as a doctor she had not done anything harmful. If his father wanted the skills, he could just ask for them. Was there any need to lock up and torture a pregnant woman, a good doctor, like this?
(Young Lu Ci, I hope those of you who haven’t read the comics will not be misled by the few words in the animation. Lu Ci in the Rusty Iron Chapter is a passionate young man)

"You kid know nothing!"

Seeing his son like this, the head of the Lu family immediately became angry. In his opinion, this kid was good in every way except that he was too stubborn and didn't understand reason.

"Do you think I want to torture her? If it weren't for the fact that this 'Shuangquan Hands' requires a special physique like hers to practice, why would I do this!"

"Then let's just let her go, what else can we do!"

"Let her go?"

boom!
Hearing this, the head of the Lu family slammed the table hard.

"Do you know that everyone in the martial arts world is hunting down the Thirty-Six Thieves and searching for the Eight Wonders? The Wang family has already captured Feng Tianyang, and we have finally captured one too. Can we just let him go?"

As he said, they tortured Duanmu Ying the moment they caught her. For the sake of her unborn child, Duanmu Ying barely resisted and confessed everything. But the result...

boom!
"Then what do you want to do? You can't get her, and you don't want to release her. Are you going to let her give birth in prison and let them die in prison?"

Hearing his father's words, Lu Ci became furious and punched the pillar next to him.

"When did our Lu family become like this!"

He has always been rebellious and has never been afraid of his father. Now he feels that the entire Lu family, including his father, is simply insane. Something that is destined to be unattainable...

As for it?
"Shut up!"

Snapped!
Brag!

Seeing his son being so disobedient, the head of the Lu family was completely furious. He raised his hand and smashed the tea table, then pointed at Lu Ci's nose:
"You rebellious son, you care so much about that woman, then you should be locked up too. I haven't dealt with you since your brother left, but it seems I have to deal with you today!"

"Someone is coming!"

"Tsk..."

Seeing that the situation was not good, Lu Ci let out a light sigh, turned around and ran. Without waiting for the tribesmen waiting outside to rush in, he climbed over the wall of the house.

When he saw him running away, the head of the Lu family just snorted angrily but did not order anyone to chase him. His original intention was just to scare him, so could it really matter?

but……

"Ugh……"

After a while, when his anger subsided, the head of the Lu family couldn't help but sigh, shook his head and sat back.

"If only Ren'er were still here, I wouldn't have to worry about anything. With his personality and intelligence, he would definitely understand my good intentions, right?"

The "Ren'er" he mentioned was naturally his other son, Lu Ci's elder brother, Lu Ren, who was beheaded by the evil "demon" Bihe Ren during the Anti-Japanese War.

In his eyes, his eldest son had always been decent, steady, smart, and sensible. He was originally an excellent candidate for the future head of the family. But now...

"Do you think that with Lu Ci's current condition, can I be assured if I pass the position of Patriarch to him in the future?"

"This……"

Hearing this, everyone who had just rushed in felt a tightness in their hearts. Although they all felt that Lu Ci was indeed in great trouble now, they also knew that they had to be cautious when answering such questions.

"Don't worry too much, Patriarch. The young master is just young. He will surely become more mature in a few years..."

"Yes, yes. After all, the young master is the most capable of the younger generation of our Lu family. As long as he polishes his character, it won't be a problem!"

"..."

"Alas..." Looking at this group of guys who said one thing and thought another, a look of helplessness suddenly appeared on the face of the head of the Lu family. He then sighed and kicked them out.

Then, he lowered his head, his eyes showing thought. He certainly knew that his actions were against human nature, but for the long-term interests of the entire Lu family, he had no choice but to do so.

Think of it...

Snapped!
The head of the Lu family slammed the table hard and muttered to himself:
"This 'Shuangquan Hands' is what my Lu family wants!"

Then he suddenly raised his head, narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked in the direction of the dungeon with an extremely determined look.

……

……

By evening.

"Master, what are you doing here? The head of the family has told you..."

"My father is afraid that she will die in this prison, so he asked me to bring her some food. Open the door and let me in."

At the dungeon entrance, Lu Ci was holding a basket of food and explained with a frown. He opened the basket in his hand for them to check and indicated that there was no problem.

"This……"

However, since the master of the house had specifically instructed that no one except the master himself could enter the prison without special orders, the two guards were a little hesitant.

"Why, do you want me to specially invite my father here for you to believe? Okay, but if anything goes wrong with the people inside because they didn't have a meal, don't say I didn't warn them!"

"This... all right, all right, Master, please don't blame me. Please, please!"

After hearing what Lu Ci said, the two of them immediately let him go. In fact, they all knew that the head of the family probably didn't give these instructions. It was just that the person in front of them had a special identity and might be the future head of the Lu family, so they didn't want to bother with him any more.

In addition, they were also quite aware of the ability of the man in front of them to stir up trouble. It was better to have less trouble than more. If there was any problem, it would not be their fault anyway. The head of the family had always been clear about matters concerning the young master causing trouble.

In this way, Lu Ci successfully entered the dungeon and soon saw Duanmu Ying lying on the ground with his hands and feet locked.

"Hey, are you still alive? If you are, come and eat something!" He strode forward, put the basket in front of her, and asked.

(Duanmu Ying and Wang Zizhong when he was young)

"..."

Hearing his words, Duanmu Ying glanced at him subconsciously, then looked at the food in the basket, and her eyes widened.

There is no doubt that these things are the most suitable for pregnant women to eat before giving birth. What happened to the Lu family...why did they suddenly change their nature?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at Lu Ci with suspicion, and wondered in her heart:
"What is the Lu family doing again..."

Seeing that she was still hesitating, Lu Ci frowned and couldn't help but urged her, "Come on, eat quickly. I took all this secretly. If my father finds out, you won't be able to eat it!"

"Gudu..."

At this time, the aroma of the food drifted into Duanmu Ying's nose, making her swallow her saliva.

Over the past few days, the Lu family has only given her a small amount of water and food, just enough to sustain her survival. For a pregnant woman like her who is about to give birth, this is totally insufficient.

Looking at her bloated belly, Duanmu Ying finally made up her mind. No matter what, even if it was just for the baby in her belly, she had to eat this meal!

So she struggled to get up, picked up the food in the basket, took the chopsticks handed to her by Lu Ci, and started eating.

Twenty minutes later...

All the food was finally finished, and Duanmu Ying finally felt that she had regained some strength.

At this time, her face darkened, and she looked at Lu Ci squatting in front of her and said, "I have already confessed everything I should confess. What do you mean by keeping me locked up like this?"

"Uh……"

Hearing this, Lu Ci was stunned for a moment, then reacted: "You don't think that my coming to bring you food is a trick of the Lu family, do you?"

"Is not it?"

Duanmu Ying responded coldly, but saw that Lu Ci's face opposite him suddenly darkened and veins appeared on his forehead.

"Well, your kindness is taken for granted. No wonder you can become sworn brothers with a guy like Wu Gensheng..." he suddenly said.

"I was afraid that you, a pregnant woman, would be locked up like this and end up with two dead bodies, so I took the risk to bring you food. But you start doubting me right away, okay?"

The next second, Lu Ci stood up and clenched his fist towards her: "You should understand one thing, you are the one who caused all the troubles that happened to you. You can't blame others for any consequences. Don't bite whoever you catch."

After he finished speaking, before Duanmu Ying could react, he suddenly circulated his Qi, condensed Qi energy in his hands, then he raised his hands and sent out two streams of energy, rushing straight towards Duanmu Ying!

"!!!"

Seeing this, Duanmu Ying subconsciously closed her eyes, curled up and tried to protect her stomach, thinking that she had angered the other party...

But the next moment...

Swish!
The Qi force that was attacking her suddenly turned and hit the chain beside her...

Clang!

The sound of chains breaking suddenly rang out, and she was immediately surprised...

"?!"
