Chapter 8: The Lady's Temper
Chapter 8 Huo Sanniang
The soft sobs grew clearer and clearer.
Zhao Xiaofeng cried and threw himself on the bed: "Grandma......"
The gray-haired grandmother suddenly appeared, and she was still leaning quietly on the head of the bed as before.
Zhao Xiaofeng threw himself into his grandmother's arms, crying, and shouted excitedly: "Grandma...... Where have you been?"
Grandma hugged Xiao Feng tightly, and she couldn't say anything else except tears.
The snow-white little rabbit was jumping back and forth on the ground, like that, even happier than Zhao Xiaofeng.
Zhao Xiaofeng helped her grandmother wipe away her tears, hugged her grandmother's arm, and asked curiously: "Grandma, you are in bed, why can't I see you all the time?"
Grandma carried Xiao Feng to the bed, wrapped Xiao Feng's body in a shabby quilt, touched Xiao Feng's head, and sighed softly: "This is a stealth illusion, which was taught to me by your mother." ”
Zhao Xiaofeng couldn't believe his ears: "My mother?"
Grandma looked out the window at the vast night, as if immersed in the memories of the past: "Yes, it's your mother." I told you before that when you grow up, your mother will fly up from under the Nine Cliffs on a sacred bird. ”
Zhao Xiaofeng's little face was glowing: "I have a mother, why didn't she come to see me? Why did she hide under the Nine Cliffs?"
Tears welled up in the grandmother's cloudy old eyes again: "Your mother was murdered, a few months after you were born...... Only...... And he died...... However, her cultivation is very high, and when she died, she left behind a seed that would have a chance to be resurrected in the future......"
Zhao Xiaofeng's tears flowed down his eyes, and he choked up: "I'...... Go save her!"
Grandma sighed and shook her head gently: "She must wait for 100,000 years before she can cultivate into a human form and truly resurrect." ”
"One hundred thousand years!" Zhao Xiaofeng's eyes widened in surprise, "Is there a way we can help her?"
Grandma shook her head: "No one can help her, if she wants to be truly resurrected, she can only rely on herself...... Rely on yourself to constantly improve your cultivation. ”
Zhao Xiaofeng asked again: "Why is my mother hiding under the Nine Cliffs?"
Grandma smiled slightly: "The Nine Cliffs were originally her hometown, and the leaves fall back to their roots, and there is no place more suitable for her than the Nine Cliffs." As she spoke, she took Zhao Xiaofeng's hand, "The purple mark on your left arm was left by your mother." If you want her, you can check it out. Plus, the purple mark on your arm, and the magic of a god, a drop of your blood can wake her up. However, you must not do this until the critical moment of life and death, because every time you wake her up, her physical strength will be consumed, and if you want to recover, you will have to cultivate for another hundred years. ”
Zhao Xiaofeng listened stunned, he suddenly thought that the last time he had a thrilling fight with the black beast and the big black wolf in the Nine Shadows Cliff, at the moment of his life and death, it was the mysterious wisteria under the Nine Shadows Cliff that saved him.
Thinking of this, Zhao Xiaofeng couldn't help but ask, "Grandma, has my mother become a wisteria under the Nine Cliffs?"
Grandma didn't answer, just touched Zhao Xiaofeng's head and muttered, "When you grow up, you'll know." Grandma let out a long sigh again, "Your mother is fortunate in misfortune, but your father is ......" She couldn't hold back her tears before she finished her sentence.
Growing up so big, it was the first time that his grandmother took the initiative to mention his father in front of him. Regarding his father, Zhao Xiaofeng asked his grandmother more than once. But every time he mentioned his father, his grandmother would shed tears, and he only told him that his father was a wonderful man who had unfortunately died in a battle.
Zhao Xiaofeng is wiping her grandmother's tears.
Grandma suddenly grabbed Zhao Xiaofeng's hand, her eyes widened, she clenched her teeth, and said hatefully: "Your father was killed by someone, and more than 100 people in your family were killed by someone!"
Zhao Xiaofeng looked at his grandmother in surprise, he couldn't believe his ears.
Grandma's mood gradually eased up, and her voice became a little hoarse: "I shouldn't have told you these things now...... But I'm getting old, and maybe I'll die one day......"
Zhao Xiaofeng choked up and said, "Who killed my mother and my father?"
Grandma shook her head blankly: "I don't know, this is still an unsolved case, and no one knows who the murderer is! Over the years, we have been hiding in this Nine Hidden Cliffs, and we don't know if there has been any progress in the case, and whether the murderer has been brought to justice? But I believe that the emperor of the Great Zhao Empire will definitely catch the murderer and avenge your family, because your father is a hero of the Great Zhao Empire, and he is the general of the Great Zhao Empire in the past, and Zhao Chengfeng, who was officially crowned on the throne!"
"Zhao Chengfeng!" Zhao Xiaofeng secretly remembered his father's name. He clenched his fists: "When I grow up, I must avenge my family and kill those villains!"
Grandma smiled with relief, but her face was still full of tears: "You should understand why I want you to leave here." Grandma used her hands to protect the small lamp at the head of the bed to prevent it from being blown out by the wind, "If you don't go out and learn real skills, you won't be able to avenge your family, and in this life, you will never have the opportunity to meet your mother again." ”
Zhao Xiaofeng hugged his grandmother's arm: "But grandma, you ......"
Grandma broke free of Zhao Xiaofeng's hand and said coldly: "I'm not your own grandmother, I'm just a maid of your Zhao family!"
Zhao Xiaofeng knelt down in front of his grandmother: "No matter who you are, you are my own grandmother...... I will never leave you!"
Grandma cried again, this time with emotion. Xiao Feng is indeed a sensible child, and the hardships and trials of life have made him mature prematurely.
Zhao Xiaofeng knelt and hugged his grandmother, tears flowing wantonly on his immature little face.
Grandma hugged Zhao Xiaofeng and sighed: "These days, I have a bad premonition...... Something is going to happen here. ”
Zhao Xiaofeng tilted his little head: "Grandma, didn't you say that the Nine Cliffs can protect us, and the bad guys don't dare to come?"
Grandma nodded: "The Nine Cliffs do have magical power, and bad people with ill intentions will die if they come in, but ...... If we meet a real master, this Nine Cliffs will not be able to protect us. ”
Zhao Xiaofeng wiped his nose, he was thinking, "What kind of person is a real master?"
The cold wind carried large flakes of snow through the broken windows. The small pine oil lamp at the head of the bed was blown out, and the cabin was dark. Zhao Xiaofeng lit the fire fold and lit the small lamp, and the dim flames were swaying from side to side, jumping suddenly.
Grandma looked out the window, and her face suddenly became ugly. Because the light was too dim, Zhao Xiaofeng didn't notice it.
The snow-white rabbit circled around the small bed, as if sensing some danger.
Grandma suddenly hugged Zhao Xiaofeng off the bed and said anxiously, "Hurry up...... Hide ......"
Zhao Xiaofeng was taken aback by this sudden change, and he asked hesitantly, "Grandma...... What's wrong?"
Grandma's face was pale, she pointed to the bottom of the bed, and said anxiously: "Come under the bed...... Don't come out ......"
Zhao Xiaofeng stood still: "Grandma...... What's wrong?"
Grandma hurriedly said: "Quick!"
Zhao Xiaofeng couldn't figure out what was going on, so he had to listen to his grandmother's instructions and get under the bed.
The small pine oil lamp on the bedside was blown out by the wind again, and the dim hut suddenly fell into darkness.
Silence, deathly silence! Outside the window, the cold wind is roaring!
In the cold night, there was a sudden sound of Gege's laughter, and the laughter came from far and near, and suddenly reached the door. The voice is very sharp and thin, and it is clearly a woman's voice.
The small dilapidated door of the hut opened silently, and a cold wind carried snowflakes in.
Outside the door, torches lit up, and a woman's voice asked delicately, "Is this Mrs. Zhao's home?"
Grandma's calm voice sounded: "Who!"
The blazing torches lit up the grandmother's small room, and a delicate female voice sounded at the bedside: "My name is Huo Sanniang, an unknown junior, I guess your old man has never heard of it!"
Grandma smiled: "The third princess of the Holy Demon Palace, she has been looking up to her body for a long time. ”
Hua Sanniang's smile, and her shrill voice sounded extremely uncomfortable: "Eight years ago, my father died tragically in Zhao Chengfeng's house, and this account should be closed today." ”
Eight years ago, Zhao Chengfeng fought against the masked black shadow, and he was about to win, but Huo Tian, the hall master of the Holy Demon Hall of the Great Yin Empire, suddenly appeared. In the end, Zhao Chengfeng bit off his tongue and used a desperate trick "Rubik's Cube Magic". Although Zhao Chengfeng's Rubik's Cube Ball was lost, this desperate trick "Rubik's Cube Divine Skill" exerted the magic power of the Rubik's Cube Ball. As a result, Zhao Chengfeng died, and Huo Tian was seriously injured and fell into a coma. Surprisingly, the black shadow killed Huo Tian and snatched Huo Tian's supreme spiritual weapon, the Black Tiger Sword! Was the black shadow sent by the Great Yin Empire? If so, why did he kill his companion Huo Tian? If not, then who was he? Before Zhao Chengfeng died, he was surprised to see the true face of the black shadow, could it be that the murderer black shadow was Zhao Chengfeng's acquaintance? Mystery, everything is a mystery! No one knows so far!
Grandma let out a long sigh: "More than 100 people in the Zhao Wangfu have all died unexpectedly, haven't the third princess heard of it?"
Huo Sanniang held back a smile: "Of course I've heard of it, but my father was also killed in King Zhao's Mansion!"
Grandma sighed: "How could the famous Holy Demon Hall Master of the Great Yin Empire die in the Zhao Palace, my Great Zhao Empire?"
Huo Sanniang bit her lip and sighed: "My dad behaves weirdly...... However, he may have only one purpose for going to King Zhao's mansion. ”
Grandma asked, "For what purpose?"
Huo Sanniang said word for word: "Rubik's Cube Ball!"
Grandma didn't speak, just let out a long sigh, she stared at the blazing torch in Huo Sanniang's hand, as if immersed in the memories of the past. Rubik's Cube Ball, that is a myth of the Shenzhou Continent. Under the power of the Rubik's Cube Ball, the Rubik's Cube Army, which only had 50,000 people, defeated the one million army of the Great Yin Empire and collapsed. Zhao Chengfeng's Rubik's Cube Ball shocked the Shenzhou Continent, making the enemy army terrified. After Zhao Chengfeng's death, the power of the Rubik's Cube Army was not there, and the rivers and lakes were speculating about the whereabouts of the Rubik's Cube ball. Everyone dreams of getting the Rubik's Cube that exists like a god.
Huo Sanniang suddenly laughed again: "If Mrs. Zhao can tell me the whereabouts of the Rubik's Cube Ball, my father's death will ...... I won't blame you Zhao Wangfu. ”
Grandma smiled bitterly: "Could it be that the third princess suspects that it was our Zhao Wangfu who harmed the Huo Palace?"
Huo Sanniang said: "With my father's cultivation, I guess it will not be planted in Zhao Chengfeng's hands...... However, your Zhao family can't shirk it. Although the Zhao family was also wiped out, there were still two survivors after all. ”
Grandma smiled bitterly: "Could it be that the third princess wants to kill them all?"
Huo Sanniang said: "Didn't I say it just now, as long as you tell me the whereabouts of the Rubik's Cube Ball, I will not blame the past." ”
Grandma sighed and said slowly: "I'm just a maid in Zhao Wangfu, how can I know the whereabouts of the Rubik's Cube Ball?"
Huo Sanniang sighed softly: "I don't have much hope for the Rubik's Cube ball, it seems that I only have one thing to do tonight." As she spoke, she shook her right hand, and a sword of cold light appeared in her hand. This sword is very special, the blade is very narrow, and it is strangely curved. The Spirit Snake Sword, a top-grade spiritual weapon, is not as powerful as her father Huo Tian's top-grade spiritual weapon, the Black Tiger Sword. Huo Sanniang gently lifted the Spirit Snake Sword, and in an instant, a terrifying scene appeared. She had just held a sword in her hand, but now it had turned into a spotted python with the thickness of a bowl. The lower half of the snake's body was coiled on the ground, and the upper half was holding my Huo Sanniang's hand, and the long snake letter came out of his mouth, with a strange fishy smell.
Grandma looked out the window and didn't seem to see anything in the house.
The spotted python suddenly "whirred" out of Huo Sanniang's hand, and pounced on the grandmother on the small bed like a gust of wind.
