171, Resurrection from the dead, do you want to be the head of the family?
"Cao Yue, don't be sad."
Zhou Shu suddenly said, "The souls of the village chief and the others are still there, and they can still live."
Zhou Shu's words stunned everyone present.
Of course, Wu Gang is an exception.
Except for Wu Gang's reaction when the Book of Life and Death and Guanghan Palace were mentioned, at other times, he stood behind Zhou Shu like a wooden man.
Both Cao Yue and Peng Jiuyuan raised their heads and looked at Zhou Shu in the sky.
"Uncle, can the village chief and the others really survive?"
Cao Yue said in disbelief.
"My lord!"
Peng Jiuyuan knelt on his knees, "If we can really revive everyone, I, Peng Jiuyuan, am willing to trade my life for it!"
A little fire of hope ignited in Peng Jiuyuan's already despairing heart.
He knew Zhou Shu's identity better than others, and because of this, he knew that Zhou Shu was not someone who just spoke freely.
Since Zhou Shu said this, it is very likely that he can actually do it.
Even Peng Jiuyuan finds it a bit unbelievable to resurrect the dead.
Resurrection from the dead is of course not that easy.
If it was a death that involved the death of both the soul and the soul, even Zhou Shu would not be able to recover.
In fact, it is extremely rare for a person to retain his or her complete soul after death.
Even for powerful warriors, their souls will dissipate after death, and in rare cases, their souls will remain.
Under normal circumstances, the villagers in Jieqiao Village are just ordinary people. The moment they die, their souls will dissipate and enter reincarnation.
But the place where they died was on the Naihe Bridge.
And the Naihe Bridge was one of the artifacts that made up the Netherworld.
Their souls were directly preserved by Naihe Bridge.
This also gave Zhou Shu room to display.
As long as their souls are intact, Zhou Shu can help them reshape their bodies and make them live again.
This is essentially not the same thing as resurrection from the dead.
But for most people, this is resurrection from the dead.
Zhou Shu didn't bother to explain too much to them and said, "What's the point of taking your life?"
"Peng Jiuyuan, I know that a lot of things have happened, which have had a great impact on you."
Zhou Shu sighed and said in a deep voice, "But you must understand that as a person, you must have your own persistence. You should not lose your sense of proportion under any circumstances."
"If you weren't so confused, how could he take advantage of it?"
"I was able to save the village chief and the others this time, but what about next time?"
"If you continue to be confused like this, something irreparable will happen sooner or later."
Zhou Shu finally relented and couldn't help but give Peng Jiuyuan a few words of advice.
"I-I-"
Peng Jiuyuan opened his lips, but did not say a complete sentence.
"I've said this, so you can do it yourself."
Zhou Shu said, the spiritual energy in his body surged and was injected into the Naihe Bridge.
In the flickering light, small figures appeared on the Naihe Bridge.
Those figures looked dull and their eyes were blank.
They don't seem to know that they are dead, they are completely in a dream.
It is impossible for the souls of ordinary people to remain clear after death.
Zhou Shu turned his wrist and some pills appeared in his palm.
With a flick of the finger, those pills had flown into the Naihe Bridge and landed on the individual figure.
Then Zhou Shu shook his arm, and the figure on the Naihe Bridge flew out.
After landing, they transformed into living people at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Cao Yue and Peng Jiuyuan were stunned.
The faceless man has no facial features, otherwise, he would be stunned.
Although he has lived for thousands of years, he has never seen such a magical thing.
Who is this guy?
He can really revive the dead, flesh and bones!
The faceless man was really scared.
When he first awakened to his self-awareness, the Peng family was still one of the most powerful families among the nine surnames of Zhu Rong.
At that time, he had met many powerful warriors.
But no one has ever been able to do such a thing.
His heart was filled with helplessness. Seeing that he could be completely free after killing Peng Jiuyuan, why did he suddenly provoke such a evil star again?
The person in front of him was more difficult to deal with than all the powerful people he had seen in his life put together.
If you fall into his hands, will you still have a chance to be free in this life?
He is really on the verge of crying now.
If I had known this earlier, I would not have attacked Peng Jiuyuan.
Anyway, Peng Jiuyuan is just an ordinary person now, and it has no influence on him at all.
If he hadn't possessed Peng Jiuyuan, Peng Jiuyuan wouldn't even have awakened the power in his body.
Faceless Man now really feels like he wants to cry but has no tears.
"We——"
Dong He, the head of Jieqiao Village, and others looked around in confusion. For a moment, they did not realize what happened.
"How did we get back to the village? I remember I just had a dream about Peng Jiuyuan..."
The villagers all frowned and talked a lot.
They thought what happened before was a dream.
After all, they look the same now. For them, resurrection from the dead is simply a fantasy.
"You have indeed had a dream."
Zhou Shu said, "Village Chief, long time no see."
Dong He, the head of Jieqiao Village, looked up at Zhou Shu and was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses.
"Cao Shu? Why are you back?"
He couldn't react for a while.
"The Dong family's matter has been resolved, and we are back to tell you the good news."
Zhou Shu said with a smile, "You can rest assured that the Dong family will not come to trouble you again in the future."
"Really?"
Everyone's faces showed surprise, and for a while, they completely forgot about their previous death.
Peng Jiuyuan looked at Zhou Shu with some gratitude.
If everyone really remembers that he killed them, Peng Jiuyuan really doesn’t know how he should face them.

Now that Zhou Shu said that they were dreaming, they should also regard it as a dream.
Just think of what happened before as a dream.
"Village Chief, there is one more thing."
Zhou Shu suddenly spoke.
Dong He was stunned for a moment, then said, "What's the matter?"
"Are you interested in becoming the head of the Dong family?"
Zhou Shu said with a smile.
"Head of the Dong family? What do you mean?"
Dong He said doubtfully.
Compared to other villagers, Dong He is somewhat knowledgeable.
And judging from what happened before, Dong He's heart and magnanimity are extraordinary.
But no matter what, he is just the village chief of an ordinary mountain village. He has been to the farthest place in his life, which is a town hundreds of miles away.
The existence of the head of the Dong family is really far away from him.
For a moment, he could not imagine that the Dong family Zhou Shu mentioned was the Dong family.
"The Dong family, the masters of this area of tens of thousands of miles, the head of the Dong family."
Zhou Shu smiled and said, "Do you want to be the head of the Dong family?"
"Me?"
Dong He was completely stunned. Is he still dreaming?
What's going on recently? Why do you just have such weird dreams?
First, I dreamed that everyone was killed by Brother Peng, and now I dreamed that someone came to make me the head of the Dong family?
"Pa—"
Dong He slapped himself in the face.
The next moment, he was grinning in pain.
Zhou Shu: "..."
He had some doubts as to whether his previous feelings for Dong He were an illusion.
Are you not a fool?
Go crazy and beat yourself up?
The other villagers were also dumbfounded.
This is a good statement, why did the village chief slap himself?
"It's not a dream."
Dong He murmured to himself. He looked up at Zhou Shu and said, "Brother Cao Shu, stop joking with me."
"Village chief, uncle, he's not joking."
Cao Yue, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but say that in his heart, the villagers of Jieqiao Village were all his relatives.
If the village chief can become the head of the Dong family, then the villagers of Jieqiao Village will have a secure future life.
This is something Cao Yue is eager to see.
"Uncle can really make you the head of the Dong family. We came from the Dong Family Fort before!"
Cao Yue said.
If he hadn't known it was inappropriate, he would have even wanted to tell everyone that Zhou Shu had been the head of the Dong family in Dongjiabao for several months!
The faceless man's face without facial features faced Zhou Shu, then turned to Dong He, as if he was looking at Zhou Shu and then Dong He.
Unlike the villagers in Jieqiao Village, the Faceless People once experienced the Peng family at its peak.
He is very clear about the status of the head of the family with the ninth surname Zhu Rong.
This villager is just an ordinary person.
Can he also be the head of the Dong family?
Is it possible that after hundreds of years of hiding in Tibet, this world has become completely unfamiliar to me?
It can bring people back to life, and it can make ordinary people become the head of one of the nine surnames of Zhu Rong.
Why does this sound like a dream?
Suddenly, the faceless man also had the urge to slap himself in the mouth.
He also wanted to try to see if he was dreaming.
Cao Yue's words made Dong He swallow his saliva involuntarily.
Dong He may still be dubious about Zhou Shu's words, but Dong He can trust Cao Yue's words.
He watched Cao Yue grow up. He is an honest boy and will never lie.
He said so, is it possible that this Cao Shu could really make himself the head of the Dong family?
Dong He felt slightly dizzy.
He suddenly remembered his youthful ambitions.
When he was a child, he once imagined that one day he would become a big shot and be able to change the world.
But as he grew up, he had to accept the fact that he was just an ordinary person.
Being able to become the village chief is already the upper limit of his life.
I have accepted such a mediocre life.
But now, a huge pie suddenly hit me on the head.
Tell me whether you want to be the head of the Dong family.
Nonsense!
Of course!
Between the village chief and the emperor, even a fool knows how to choose.
But this kind of thing is not a matter of whether you think about it or not.
If you think about it, you can become the head of the Dong family, then there are too many heads of the Dong family in the world.
"I want to!"
Dong He gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "Of course I want to be the head of the Dong family. I think I can do a better job than the current head of the Dong family!"
Dong He said very confidently.
An ordinary person dares to say that he will do better as the head of the family. This courage is truly remarkable.
Zhou Shu nodded with satisfaction and said, "In that case, from now on, you will be the head of the Dong family."
"Finding some time later, I will take you to Dongjiabao and make your identity known to the public."
Zhou Shu seemed to be talking about an understatement.
Dong He: "..."
That’s it?
You said I am the head of the Dong family, so I am the head of the Dong family?
Isn’t this a little childish?
And I don’t think anything has changed.
If I speak now, will the Dong family listen?
That’s weird!
"Cao Yue, tell the village chief what you need to pay attention to when you are the head of the Dong family."
Zhou Shu said casually, "Peng Jiuyuan, and you, come with me."
Zhou Shu pointed at the faceless man, the weapon spirit of Naihe Bridge, and said.
Seeing Zhou Shu leading Wulian and Peng Jiuyuan into the mountains and forests, Dong He looked at Cao Yue.
"Xiao Yue?"
Dong He said with some confusion, just now Zhou Shu asked Cao Yue to teach him how to be the head of the Dong family?
This is too childish.
Noticing Dong He's suspicious gaze, Cao Yue spoke unconvinced.
"Village chief, don't look down on people. My uncle said that people should treat each other with admiration after three days apart. Why haven't we seen each other for several months? I am no longer the Cao Yue I used to be."
"I have seen the world! The eldest elder of the Dong family always treats me respectfully."
"I have personally served the head of the Dong family for several months. I know exactly what the head of the Dong family should do."
Cao Yue is very confident.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Not to mention the head of the Dong family, in the past few months, he has personally met and dealt with every head of the nine Zhu Rong families.
Those family heads have long lost their sense of mystery in front of him!
"It seems that our little Yue has really grown up."
Dong He said with a smile, "Then tell me, what should the head of the Dong family do?"
Dong He did not take Cao Yue's words seriously. In his opinion, this was just a child bragging.
But he gave Cao Yue face and pretended to believe it.
"Village Chief, let me tell you, there is nothing simpler in this world than being the head of a family."
Cao Yue said, "You don't have to do anything, you just need to give orders. No matter what the matter is, as long as you explain it, countless people will immediately help you complete it."
Dong He: "..."
Is this what you want to teach me?
Do you still need to teach me this?
"Okay, I get it."
Dong He said helplessly.
"But, being the head of a family also has some tricks."
Cao Yue recalled what Zhou Shu had done as the head of the Dong family, and said, "To be a good head, the most important thing is to be kind and gentle, to reward where you deserve, and to punish where you deserve."
"You should not only make them fear you, but also make them respect you."
Cao Yue talked eloquently.
He has really learned a lot during these days.
When he was in Dongjiapu, he couldn't find anyone to express himself to. Now that he is back in front of people he knows well, Cao Yue's desire to express himself is unprecedentedly strong.
He couldn't wait to express all his recently gained knowledge.
Dong and everyone seemed to be watching their own grown-up children talking endlessly, with smiles on their faces, listening patiently to Cao Yue's words.
As he listened, Dong He's expression changed slightly.
Although he was only a small village chief, he had lofty ideals when he was young.
He has also seriously studied the art of power and strategy.
However, he stayed in Jieqiao Village and had no room to show his talents.
Now listening to Cao Yue's narration, he also remembered what he had learned back then. The two facts confirmed it, and he found that some of what Cao Yue said actually made some sense...
Cao Yue didn't know so many theories, but these days, he saw it with his own eyes.
He told what he saw with his own eyes, so he was naturally at a higher level than Dong He.
In fact, these things are actually not important.
Both of them ignored one thing: absolute strength is the foundation of everything.
As long as they have Zhou Shu's strength, it will be easy to become the head of the Dong family.
On the contrary, Dong Tailai and those people will not listen to them at all.
To put it bluntly, everything still depends on strength.
The so-called Machiavellian tactics are just the icing on the cake.
Zhou Shu never pays attention to any political tactics, but he still leads the whole party whether he is in the Dong family of Zhu Rongtian or the human race in his ancestral land.
Of course, it is impossible to expect Dong He to have the strength of Zhou Shu.
But they don't need to have this strength. As long as Zhou Shu comes forward to support them, Dong Tailai and the others will have to obey even if they don't obey.
This is not up to them!
……
While Cao Yue was talking in front of Dong He, Zhou Shu took Peng Jiuyuan and the faceless man to a deserted place in the forest.
Naturally, Wu Gang, who is like a personal bodyguard, is also indispensable.
It's just that Wu Gang's sense of presence is very low. If he doesn't take action, most people will treat him as if he doesn't exist.
"Sir, what do you need me to do?"
Seeing Zhou Shu stop, Peng Jiuyuan asked.
"From now on, my life, Peng Jiuyuan, belongs to you, sir."
Peng Jiuyuan knelt down and said, "What happened before will never happen again!"
When facing the Dong family knights before, Peng Jiuyuan told the Dong family knights where Zhou Shu was going in order to save the villagers of Jieqiao Village.
Peng Jiuyuan has always been worried about that incident. It was because he betrayed Zhou Shu.
"I said, I want your life in vain."
Zhou Shu shook his head, "Peng Jiuyuan, I know you are a little guilty. If you want to do something, there is exactly one thing that no one else can do except you."
"What happened?"
Peng Jiuyuan asked.
"Dong He is going to be the head of the Dong family. It will be difficult for him to improve his strength for a long time in the future. This requires someone to protect him personally. You are very strong now. In this matter, other than you,
There is no one more suitable."
Zhou Shu said.
"I have no problem protecting the village chief, but my lord, here -"
Peng Jiuyuan said that the Peng family's ancestral precepts told him to follow Zhou Shu. Moreover, Zhou Shu had helped him lie in front of everyone in Jieqiao Village before, which made Peng Jiuyuan feel that he owed Zhou Shu a huge favor.
"I also need you to do something here."
Zhou Shu smiled casually and said, "This Naihe Bridge is your Peng family's artifact to suppress the clan. Now, I need you to give it to me. Are you willing?"
Faceless Man: "..."
Have you ever asked me for my opinion?
I am Naiheqiao, okay?
Peng Jiuyuan was a little dazed. Isn't this Naihe Bridge already yours? Do you still need to ask me?
