Chapter 35: Huo Jing: He Returns from Hell
When I went to the Tianhou Temple on the outlying island again, and when I met Jiang Miaozhu, the predecessor of the rivers and lakes, the situation was different from before.
At the beginning, we fled in a hurry, like mice, panicked, always feeling that the end of the world was coming in the next second, and we had no time to pay attention to too much, but at this moment, we seemed much calmer and more relaxed.
The reason for such a change is that it is a manifestation of strength.
Now, even if the Huo family on Hong Kong Island once again raises the big stick high and wants to do something to us, they have to think carefully about the pros and cons.
Unconsciously, our position, in the rapid growth of strength, also began to gradually accumulate.
Of course, we weren't strong enough, so we had to dress up and wear a human skin mask when we traveled.
But this is only temporary.
When I saw Jiang Miaozhu again, I found that his appearance began to get older, whether it was spirit or anything else, there were many changes, his hair was full of hair, and the wrinkles on his face were constantly accumulating together, which made people feel moved and sad.
He moved two chairs over and asked us to sit down, probably feeling the emotions in our hearts, grinning toothlessly, saying that everyone has birth, old age, sickness and death, this is the way of heaven, the general trend, and there is nothing. I, an old man, have experienced many years of ups and downs, and I am used to seeing the world, and I have finally come to an end. I'm glad you were able to come and see meβwell, looking at you young people, one by one, reminds me of the heroic and frivolous days of my youth......"
He sighed and invited us to tea, with a kind smile on his face, like a kind old grandfather.
But only a few people understand how strong this temple Zhu's cultivation is.
It's just that no matter how strong a person is, there will be a moment of death after all.
In this world, no one knows what death is, and whether the world after death is completely empty or another kind of life, so there are so many people who pursue immortality, the most important thing is because they are afraid of the coldness and nothingness of the underground sleep.
Princes and generals can't escape such a strange circle.
And this is also the reason why Ma Yiao, the golden cicada's physique, was chased madly.
Because the legendary elixir of life is used as a medicine.
We chatted with Jiang Miaozhu, chatted about the past, talked about the current situation, and in the end, we talked about Huo's family on Hong Kong Island.
This Tianhou Temple is adjacent to the base camp of the Huo family, and in the Huo family, there are also many people who believe in Mazu, so naturally they also know some news about the Huo family, he told us that in the two years since Huo Jing disappeared, the situation of the Huo family is not very good, because of the loss of the heir, the voice within the Huo family has become a lot, and the masters have formed gangs, whether it is the old faction or the new generation, they are all divided, some advocate welcoming back the eldest son, and some propose to let a few sons-in-law join the Huo family and inherit the family business. Some people also proposed to set up an "auxiliary minister" to determine Huo Jing's widow Huo Shentong to be the head of the Huo family, and a group of elders assisted him until he was eighteen years old.
In short, if there is a dispute, there will be internal friction, and if there is internal friction, there will be a loss, the Huo family, which was originally in full swing, even under the maintenance of Huo Yingying, has also undergone several changes, and several veterans under the door are standing together, disturbing one after another, and it is very lively.
However, no matter how many disputes there are, there will be a time when the curtain will come to an end.
Because Huo Erlang is back.
Regarding this matter, Jiang Miaozhu told us that Huo Erlang came back a month ago, and the news was blocked at that time, and few people knew that until not long ago, he appeared a few times, but the follow-up was also very hidden, and basically he would not come out and move around.
Obviously, after the big change, this Huo Erlang has been very different from him before.
But he didn't understand what it was.
However, as an old acquaintance for many years, Jiang Miaozhu also received an invitation from the Huo family for this wedding, we asked him and learned that Jiang Miaozhu would also attend at that time.
When people get old, they always like to watch some festive things.
We sat for a while, then took our leave.
Then we turned and walked towards a pavilion in the mountains.
Our relationship with the Huo family is basically hostile, and it stands to reason that it is impossible to participate in this wedding, but it was Huo Jing who sent us the invitation, that is, the groom himself, so the matter is another story.
And when we came to the outlying island this time, in addition to meeting Jiang Miaozhu, we also met with Huo Erlang.
This was agreed in advance by both parties.
I am also looking forward to this meeting, after all, the biggest suspense left to me by this wedding is who the bride is.
If it's Qin Liluo, do I have to fucking have to come to the "Great Sage to rob relatives"?
In this way, will readers scold me for being a routine?
β¦β¦
On the way to the mountains, Ma Yiao and I kept looking around and observing the situation around us.
After all, we haven't seen Huo Erlang for a long time, and I heard that he has changed a lot now, so treat us well, do you still maintain your previous friendship?
Will he complain to us that he didn't have enough strength to rescue him from the secret realm of Yujiang?
Or could he have been influenced by his own father to change his attitude towards us?
These can happen, so although Ma Yiao and I have some support, we still have to think about how to evacuate once a conflict arises.
The three armies have not moved, the grain and grass go first, and the more cautious they are, the longer they will live.
The surrounding forest was deep and dense, and it was inexplicably a little cold, and when we arrived at the pavilion, we found that Huo Jing was already waiting for us there, and he was still alone.
The only thing that makes people a little suspicious is that on a hot day, this man is wearing a thick robe, wrapping himself tightly, and even his head is shrouded in the hood.
At this moment, Huo Jing is wearing a robe that looks a bit like a Western missionary, which makes people feel very wrong.
But when we showed up and came to the pavilion, he took off his hood, smiled at us, and said, "Here we are." β
When I saw this Huo Erlang, who hadn't appeared for a long time, I felt that his face was a little stiff, which made that smile a little fake.
And his face was white, as white as snow, and his eyes were bloodshot.
He looked tired.
But from another angle, I can feel the surging aura on Huo Erlang's body, which is as vast as the sea, although it has been suppressed.
In the time he has been apart, he has grown to an unattainable height.
It's just that this breath, why is it so familiar?
Huo Erlang stretched out his hand and shook it with us.
His hand was cold, like a block of ice, but he just touched us and let go, and I didn't have much time to take it seriously.
His handshake with Ma Yiao was also very short.
There were tables and chairs in this pavilion, there was a complete set of tea sets on it, before we came, the water had been boiled, Huo Erlang invited us to sit down, and then gave us a performance of kung fu tea skills, and then put two cups of tea in front of us, stretched out his hand and said, "Please." β
I glanced at Ma Yiao, stretched out my hand, picked up the cup, took a sip, and felt that the tea was fragrant and bright, and the color was as bright as blood, which was indeed good.
I nodded my head and said good tea.
Huo Jing said: "This is the big red robe of the mother tree of Wuyi Mountain, growing in the Jiulong Cave of Tianxin Rock in Wuyi Mountain Scenic Area, the age of the tree is about 350 years, and now there are only six left, and only about one pound of tea can be produced every year - I am now a little repulsed by the diet, the delicacies of the mountains and seas, in the mouth are like chewing wax, only this tea can make me barely feel the beauty of the world......
Ma Yiao stretched out his hand, picked up the cup, took a sip, put it down, and then said to him, "What happened that day?" After Hou Mo and I got out of trouble, we looked for you everywhere, but we couldn't succeed......"
Huo Jing sighed, and then said: "This, alas, is hard to say. β
He was reluctant to say more about the events of the day, obviously because there was something unspeakable, so we didn't ask about it with great interest, but talked about something else.
After saying a few words like this, I finally decided to go straight to the point and asked, "Brother Huo, although it is more abrupt, I still want to know who your bride is." β
Huo Jing glanced at me, couldn't help laughing, and said: "The last time I was engaged, you came over to make trouble, it was because the engaged person was also your favorite, but this time, I'm afraid you have no reason......
When I heard this, I immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and Ma Yiao asked, "Who is it?" β
Huo Jing opened his mouth and said, "You don't actually know each other - her name is Kobe Yui. β
I was a little surprised, said Japanese?
Huo Jing nodded and said yes, Japanese, my father helped me choose a wife, to be honest, I don't know much about it, so I can't tell you too much.
Ma Yiao was a little puzzled, and said that marrying a woman you don't like, don't you mind?
Huo Jing said with a wry smile: "About the Huo family, you more or less, you all know some news, my father is dying, so what thoughts and wishes he has, what I can do is just to satisfy him as much as possible, which can be regarded as my way of filial piety." β
Hearing this, I glanced at Ma Yiao, and both of them tacitly agreed not to say anything.
In fact, according to Huo Jing's preferences, it doesn't matter what woman he marries.
After all, he didn't like women at all.
Huo Jing let out a long sigh and said, "Maybe you may be curious, where did I go during this time......
I nodded, yes.
Huo Jing raised his head, with a strange and strange smile on his face, and said to us: "If I say that I am from hell, will you believe it? β
