Chapter 181: Snow Falls Nine Dreams
The frustrated Zhang Shui fell weakly to his knees in the snow, the snow buried half of his body, and he held a woman in a plain white robe in his arms, her blood stained red and white, Zhang Haotian didn't know whether they were in the snow or the blood, maybe both.
Hundreds of demon slayers surrounded Zhang Shui and Xue Aya in the snow, Zhang Shui had no way to retreat, what Zhang Haotian saw was the demon slayer Zhang Yanyun slowly approaching Zhang Shui.
"The son of the Zhang family, you are not worthy of the surname Zhang. Zhang Yanyun pointed at Zhang Shui with a killing talisman, and there was no father-son affection in his eyes.
Zhang Shui actually laughed, but Zhang Haotian clearly saw that his face was crying, Zhang Haotian had never heard the teacher's laughter like this, it was desolate and desperate, and it made people's hearts like knives.
"Do you think I'm rare? Are you worthy of being my father? It's the Zhang family who has taken away the person I cherish the most! It's you! You didn't come back until my mother died to see her corpse! Do you think killing my mother is the damned incurable disease? It's you, it's you, it's the only thought you have to take away your mother's life and insist on living.
"You didn't care about your mother's life or death more than ten years ago, and more than ten years later, you took away my only love now. You are not worthy to be a husband, you are not worthy to be a father. If you really have a little bit of love for your mother and the three of us brothers and sisters, won't you feel a trace of guilt?"
The expression on Zhang Yanyun's face did not change at all, whether he was really indifferent or pretended to be indifferent, Zhang Haotian no longer knows, but he has no pity for this grandfather.
"Is it over?, then there is no need for you to continue to exist in the Dao Realm in collusion with the demon spirits, so let's die, except for the surname. Zhang Yanyun didn't even call Zhang Shui's name, only a cold person with a surname.
Obviously, Zhang Yanyun was already planning to make a move, but Zhang Shui didn't seem to make any moves, Zhang Haotian was puzzled, if the teacher didn't fight back, how did the teacher survive, didn't grandpa kill him?
The next development of the situation was not the same as Zhang Haotian's thoughts, Zhang Yanyun still released the life-killing talisman of the killing talisman, and the talisman shot directly at Zhang Shui without the slightest deviation.
"Teacher!" Knowing that this was an illusion and that he couldn't intervene in anything, Zhang Haotian still shouted at Zhang Shui and rushed towards him.
Nine white-tailed phantoms swept past Zhang Haotian's side, rushing to Zhang Shui's side before him, Zhang Yanyun's killing rune was bounced away by the white tail, knocking down a demon slayer in the distance, the young demon slayer fell on the snow, losing his life and gradually stiffening in the cold snow, and several people around him avoided it.
The phantom dissipated, and Zhang Haotian saw that it was Jiu Yao who blocked Zhang Yanyun's spell, and from Zhang Shui's youth to marriage, her gorgeous face has never changed. Seeing Jiu Yao's move, Zhang Yanyun's face became a little more solemn.
Zhang Yanyun's bottom number, Zhang Yanyun has more or less some understanding, but this Jiuyao doesn't know the depths, and Zhang Yanyun always has some scruples about confronting her.
Jiu Yao's appearance obviously surprised Zhang Shui: "Jiu Yao, why did you come? Didn't I break the contract of the Beast Master with you?"
Beast Master Contract? It turns out that Jiu Yao is Zhang Shui's contract beast spirit? Zhang Haotian didn't expect that Zhang Shui was also a beast master, and the contract beast spirit could even turn into a human form.
"Yes, yes, so no matter where I go or who I want to help, I don't need your opinion. Jiu Yao has always spoken coldly.
Zhang Shui shook his head helplessly after hearing her words: "Even before, didn't you do your own thing?"
"You shouldn't want to die in this kind of place, the Zhang Shui I know is not a person who will die in vain, you should be the one who will take revenge on the entire Zhang family with Xue Aya's death. Jiu Yao seemed to be agitating Zhang Shui.
"It's the demon slayer here today who wants to take revenge!" this was Zhang Shui's answer.
As soon as Zhang Shui's words fell, Jiu Yao responded, she no longer maintained her human form, but turned into a prototype, Zhang Haotian saw a white fox tail waving in the air, nine white jade fox tails.
The nine-tailed fox is not a beast spirit, but a phantom spirit, which Zhang Haotian learned from the Four Spirit Chess. The nine-tailed fox is an extremely powerful phantom race, and Zhang Haotian can't believe that Zhang Shui has made a beast spirit contract with such a powerful phantom.
Isn't it also from here that Zhang Haotian realized that the beast spirit contract can not only be directly concluded between humans and beast spirits, but also phantom spirits, so can any two spirit clans conclude a contract?
It's just that in that case, it can't be regarded as a pure beast master, which may be the reason why Zhang Shui never mentioned that he was a beast master, Zhang Haotian thinks so.
Zhang Shui held Xue Aya's body, standing at the head of Jiu Yao's fox, the huge nine-tailed fox occupied half of the snow, in order to avoid the nine-tailed fox, the demon slayer had already made a mess.
Zhang Yanyun looked up at the nine-tailed fox, the coercion exuding from his body made him feel grim, he never expected that the woman who had been following him since Zhang Shui entered the Qingcheng Sect was so deeply hidden.
"Jiu Yao, in the years since you left, I have thought about it a lot, although I said that I hated you at that time, but in fact, it was you who saved me and freed me from the killing text. Thank you. Zhang Shui let out a rare low voice.
"This thank you seems too late. ”
"So thinking about repaying you, I specially made a set of talismans for you, do you want to try it today?" Zhang Shui asked.
"It depends on your talisman master's skills, I don't think the Snowflake Sect inheritance will be any worse. ”
The talisman on Zhang Shui's waist lit up with light patterns, and a new set of talismans was released onto Jiu Yao's body, and the talisman was set on the nine-tailed fox's body like armor. The name of the talisman is Snow Falling Jiuhua Dream.
Zhang Shui's snowfall Jiuhua Dream coupled with the strength of the nine-tailed fox itself, Zhang Haotian didn't feel that any demon slayer present could stop them. However, he was unable to witness the next big battle with his own eyes, and the Panxin Illusion began to shake again, and what he wanted to see had to switch again.
However, what Zhang Haotian knew was that Zhang Yanyun still survived, and the teacher still did not kill the person he hated the most in the world.
The spring green valley, the sunset, the green grass dyed with a layer of dusk, very beautiful, but it makes people feel a little more desolate. At the highest point of the grassy slope of the Chunlu Valley, Zhang Shui sat on the grass, looking at the entire Chunlu Valley, with Wang Zhao who was sleeping as a baby beside him, and Jiu Yao stood behind him.
This should be after the blood sacrifice of the Wang family, Zhang Haotian guessed.
"Thank you for your help during this time, and the snow falling Jiuhua dream should be regarded as my thank you gift. Zhang Shui said to Jiu Yao behind him.
"It's not like you, you won't thank me for doing these things before. Jiu Yao said coldly.
"It was before, and now it is now. You should also know why I let you leave at that time, how could it be because I hated you for bringing me this black hand, you were able to free me from the killing text at that time, I can't thank you too late. So...... You don't have to show up to help me again. Zhang Shui lay down on the grass and looked relieved.
"If I'm here, will it interfere with you?" Jiu Yao asked deliberately.
Zhang Shui chuckled and shook his head: "No, I think my brother is probably the same as me now, his heart is like ashes, and he will not recur." Yukiya is the only person I love, and when she's not there, I feel as if everything is as cold as the snow in Syracuse.
"No, maybe the eldest brother's feelings are still different from mine, he at least has Haotian and Zero Dreams, and my sister-in-law still leaves someone he can love. And I don't have anything left......"
Hearing this, Jiu Yao's thin lips moved slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, she didn't say it.
The two of them were silent for a long time, and the night climbed up the sky of the Spring Green Valley, and Jiu Yao did not insist: "Since you don't want me to stay, then I'll leave, no matter what you encounter in the future, I won't appear in front of you again." ”
Zhang Shui didn't look back, just quietly listened to Jiu Yao's footsteps and gradually moved away, Wang Zhao on the side slept very quietly, and Zhang Shui seemed to have changed back into a person.
Zhang Shui, who is starting now, is the teacher he knows, raising Wang Zhao alone, living in seclusion in Zouma Village, running his own grocery store at the foot of Tiandao Mountain, and has been secretly rescuing the demon spirits who were chased and killed by the Zhang family for ten years, making hidden talismans for these demon spirits.
Zhang Haotian felt that Teacher Shi Lingli probably admired the teacher, during the days in Zouma Village, Zhang Haotian could feel it, but her love could not be conveyed to the teacher, and the teacher's heart only had his snow silk, buried in the endless wind and snow of Snow City.
Now that I think about it, my father is the same, my mother has always lived in his heart, and he has never let go, so he has never learned the truth and hated his younger brother from beginning to end. The persistence of the two brothers is the same. It's hard to imagine that such an infatuated man would have such a father.
In a trance, Zhang Haotian seemed to hear his father's voice, he looked back, the illusion was reorganized at the moment of looking back, Zhang Hai and Zhang Yanyun appeared in front of him, and the father in front of him left the same traces of the vicissitudes of time as the father he saw before leaving home.
"Zhang Hai, stop me! What do you want to do?" Zhang Yanyun shouted to Zhang Hai, who was about to leave, with a hideous face.
"I'm just trying to get my son back. Zhang Hai replied calmly, without looking back at Zhang Yanyun.
"Are you crazy? He's running away from home to find the guy who has taken his surname. This kind of behavior is against the family rules, and he is no different from a person with a surname. Zhang Yanyun shouted to the bottom of his lungs.
"So what, running away from home, isn't he my son with Yan'er? I'm different from you, I still call you dad because I'm still in the Zhang family. Do you think I have forgiven you? Do you think I can ignore my wife and children like you?" Zhang Hai scolded without scruples.
"What do you mean? Zhang Yanyun pointed at Zhang Hai and asked.
"What do I mean?" Hmph," Zhang Hai sneered, "Don't you know it? Even if the three of us brothers and sisters were still young at the time, we don't know what you did at that time, we will understand when we grow up, but at that time we didn't know what to do at all, so we could only hide this unwillingness, this hatred deep in our hearts."
"To be honest, although I hate Zhang Shui for taking Yan'er's life, there is at least one more thing that I am on the same side as him, and that is that we have never forgiven you. Why do you think Aliu chose to leave with Zhang Ao? ”
Zhang Yanyun's hideous face loosened, and he looked very helpless: "It's been so many years, why do you just have to be in your arms, she is dead." I haven't renewed the strings in years, isn't that enough?"
Zhang Hai sneered: "Didn't you choose to relax with other women because you couldn't be the head of the family? ”
What Zhang Yanyun didn't expect was that over the years, Zhang Hai had seen himself so thoroughly, and he was a little speechless, as if he was powerless to say anything more.
"You say, after so many years, why should we be obsessed. That's not what we're obsessed with, it's ...... Just answer you with a sentence that Zhang Shui said to me back then, the person who can forgive you is in the cemetery of the Zhang family. ”
Zhang Hai strode out of the Zhang family's meeting room, and Zhang Yanyun shouted hoarsely behind him: "No matter what, you can't go to Zhang Haotian, Zhang Hai, you still have a child in the Zhang family, and you are a member of the Zhang family." And then, it's your turn to take the Demon Slayer to guard the Yin Desolate Fortress for three months. ”
Zhang Haotian noticed that his father paused, clenched his fists, and then left Zhang Yanyun's field of vision. Zhang Haotian knew that his father was forced to come to him in the end, if he could, Zhang Haotian really wanted to tell him that he was doing well in Qingcheng Sect, but Zhang Haotian couldn't do this.
The scene in the Zhang family meeting room was frozen, Zhang Yanyun was still at the moment when he was hoarse, Zhang Haotian looked at his face, and what surged into his heart was uncontrollable disgust. Then Yang Lingjun swept away Zhang Yanyun's image with one palm, and came to Zhang Haotian through the fragment of Zhang Yanyun's image.
"It seems that this time the Panxin Illusion is all you can see. Yang Lingjun smiled and said, "I don't know how you feel? To be honest, I don't really understand your love-hate entanglement, maybe it's different races." ”
"Betrayal and hatred, many things have caused what we are today. If I can, at least I think the misunderstanding between my father and the teacher can be resolved, I don't want my father to hate the teacher, after all, the teacher killed his mother by mistake, and the fault is not him, but the head of the Wang family. ”
"Looks like you already have the answer. ”
Zhang Haotian shook his head, looking very lost: "But these memories can't be taken out, once I wake up, I will forget everything, no matter what determination I make here, it will not be realized." ”
"No, you're wrong. Yang Lingjun shook his finger, "It's true that memories can't be taken out, but the feelings you feel here really exist in your heart." ”
The background of the Zhang family chamber collapsed along with Zhang Yanyun's fragments, and the Panxin Illusion returned to a black state. Zhang Haotian knew that he was about to wake up, and took advantage of the last little bit of time to express his gratitude to Yang Lingjun.
"Thank you for telling me this, Lingjun. ”
"This is the duty of a guide, since it appears in your Panxin Fantasy Realm, that's what I should do. Yang Lingjun looked polite.
"But you're not Lingjun himself. Zhang Haotian remembered that Yang Lingjun said this.
"Of course not, this is your fantasy. ”
