Chapter 14: Closing the Cage

The Tang Dynasty brothers and sisters walked out of the room, and a table of wine and food had been prepared in the hall. Xu Lang, who was dressed in an orange robe and had a flag embroidered on his chest, stood upright behind an old man. The old man, dressed in a simple white robe, was leaning back in a chair and closing his eyes.

"Yo, getting ready? Looks like we're here at the right time. Tang Chao walked into the hall and said with a big grin.

"Young Master Tang, this has been changed three times, just waiting for you. Wan Jin, who was standing at the door, whispered carefully.

"It's too polite, Tang feels guilty. Tang Chao smiled, but there was no trace of shame on his face, and he took his sister and sat straight to the table.

"Xiaoyou is a man of temperament, so you don't have to be polite. The old man opened his eyes and said with a smile. A kind face and amiable eyes.

"Lord Orange Flag, I've admired my name for a long time. Tang Dynasty hugged his fists perfunctorily, and even Xu Lang looked at the corners of his mouth*.

"Hehe, I've heard that before, you didn't even recognize my Death Mansion's birth card. The orange old man was not annoyed, and said with a smile.

"Don't care about the details, I heard that the old man is highly respected, and it is better to meet than to be famous, and the rumors are biased. The old man's bearing is only afraid that it will be difficult to find the second in the world. Tang Chao arched his hand and said with a smile.

"Haha, exaggerated, exaggerated. I heard that you doll is murderous and arrogant, cold-blooded and ruthless, and you keep killing all the way. Unexpectedly, it was still a little monkey. The orange old man was very happy, and pointed to the Tang Dynasty and nodded.

"The trees want to be quiet and the wind does not stop, and people can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes. Tang Chao pursed the corners of his lips, looking helpless.

"Haha, okay, these two sentences, well said. It's a good person who can't help himself in the rivers and lakes. Lang'er, listen. Usually, when you are not allowed to practice, you can read ancient books, which are all hard-won inheritances and ancient truths. ”

"The Father's teaching is that the child must be corrected. Xu Lang was looking at the strange two people, but when he suddenly heard this, he quickly bowed down and replied.

"This kid is good at everything, but he's too restrained. I told him a long time ago that in my own home, there is no need to be so old-fashioned. You are all young people and can communicate often. The orange old man pointed at Xu Lang and said to Tang Dynasty.

"Propriety must not be abolished, and reverence must not be dispensed with. In front of my master, I have to hold on to my fart, and I am humane. Tang Chao said disapprerovingly.

The corners of Wan Jin and Xu Lang's mouths were for a while, this kid really dared to say anything.

"Old man, why don't we eat? I was so drunk last night that I was really hungry. Tang Chao touched his stomach and asked. In the depths of his eyes, he became more and more vigilant, and after flipping through the familiar and disrespectful conversation, the old man with a noble status on the other side did not have the slightest anger, and it was strange that there was no problem. But the more this was the case, the more the Tang Dynasty did not dare to restrain it.

"When you get old, you feel old at first sight, and you forget about business when you nag up. Lang'er, you can sit down and eat together. The old man waved his hand and pointed to the location beside him.

The corners of Tang Chao's mouth rose a few points again, and it was really not simple. The old man even had to point out the seat himself, and Xu Lang's arm trembled slightly. Judging from Xu Lang's reaction, this is a very unexpected thing that needs to be careful. It seems that this old man usually doesn't eat with Yoshiko easily, and he is still very serious.

The Tang Dynasty was not polite, and picked and chose to bring good dishes to his sister's side. The main thing is to go through the hands and check if there is any poison.

Xu Lang's eyes made Tang Chao confirm again. That hidden fear comes from the deepest part of the heart.

"Old man, my sister is not in good health, so she has to be fed. The kid was presumptuous. Tang Dynasty finally said politely, he was afraid that he would be too tempted and provoke the old man.

"Feel free to do it, just feel free to do it, just like your own home. If my short-lived son were still alive, perhaps his grandson would be about your age. This man is old, and he always wants to have a full house of children and grandchildren. The orange old man didn't feel the slightest annoyance when he saw the Tang Dynasty moving the dishes around, and said with a smile.

"You're welcome, kid. After Tang Chao finished speaking, he really started eating unceremoniously. And he kept it, and when the old orange man said that his children and grandchildren were full, he didn't care about the appearance of his son at all. In contrast, Xu Lang's eyes did not change at all, and he still sat stiffly with a trace of fear.

After eating a meal, Tang Dynasty was full of oil, and Tang Qianqian was also full. The two opposite, one didn't eat a few bites, and the other didn't dare to stretch out his chopsticks and only ate some staple food.

No one mentioned drinking this time, but it ended quickly. After the meal, the old orange man, who had been smiling, said to Tang Chao: "Little friend, let's talk alone?"

That's exactly what I mean. Tang Chao nodded to Tang Qianqian, and followed the old man orange all the way to the study.

"You must be very curious, why does the old man treat you with good food and drink?" asked the old man orange straight to the point after sitting down.

Tang Chao also nodded honestly.

"This matter starts with the time when the real tiger chased and killed you. He is a person from Qingyun Peak, and there is a black flag behind him. He is a very sensitive person, and Qingyun Peak will not use him easily. Let him do something to you, if you kill it, it's fine, throw ten people behind, and run back. This shows that you kid is not simple. ”

"It turns out that the guy's name is Zhenhu, and the person is as his name suggests. I thought it was really Qingqi's hand. Tang Chao nodded.

As the owner of the orange flag, the old man is naturally interested in knowing who is sacred to the person who can make the black flag move. The orange old man looked at Tang Chao and didn't react, and continued: "I let people touch your bottom, to be honest, I'm very interested in you." Especially when you took that girl and were hunted down for so long. Why don't you give up on her?"

"She's my sister. ”

"Not dear. ”

"I said yes. ”

"The old man didn't misread you. A teenager, affectionate and righteous, the old man appreciates your energy. When you are old, you always think that someone can take over, if you take the old man's position, at least the old man does not have to worry about being dug up. ”

"I think Xu Lang is also good. ”

"He's too rigid to be a leader. Don't look at the small place here, the Eight Flags are harmonious, but it's not. The interior of the Eight Banners is fragmented, and the Eight Divine Palace, which is respected by the black flag, and the orange flag is only surviving. ”

"Do you want to be on the throne, sit in the position of the black flag?" asked Tang Chao.

"No, you guessed wrong this time. The sealed place is a cage. The lower ones survived, and the middle ones thought about the upper positions, but when they got up, they found that it was all a struggle. People who really stand at the top are thinking about how to get out. The nearest realm is the Red Mansion Realm, compared to here, it is the fairyland of the world, and this is the broken tile cold kiln. ”

"Why can't you leave when all worlds are connected, and who is detaining the people here?"

"There is no way out. It's a cage that you can't get in or out. ”

"I don't understand. Tang Chao shook his head.

"Looking at you, I can think of when I was young, so I just want to talk to you more today. Originally, there was a passage to get out of this sealed place, but it was guarded. Here, as long as you enter the innate, you can go out. But later, the corpse demon eroded and destroyed the passage out. There will be no way out of this world again. If you want to break the barrier and get out, even the Great Realm can't be cultivated. ”

"You mean, this world can't get out?" Tang Chao's face was a little ugly.

"That's true. However, according to my investigation for so many years, there is a teleportation array in the Yagami Palace, but unfortunately it can only carry one person. When I'm old, I don't want to fight, after all, I've been here for most of my life. The old orange man's old face had some twilight and exhaustion.
