Liu Bai walked to the door of the rock house and waved his hand to Zhang Shui in the courtyard: "Come in, uncle, he said to see you." ”

Zhang Shui followed Liu Bai and slowly walked into the rock house, he saw Uncle Xiao Zong sitting on the rattan chair through Liu Bai who was much older than he remembered, and his heart suddenly became uncomfortable.

"You've really grown up, Ah Shui. The smile on Uncle Xiaozong's face looked very soft, just like Zhang Shui remembered, "Have all these years passed, you really look like your mother." Come here and sit down, I haven't seen you in a long time, so let's have a good chat. ”

Liu Bai had already prepared a seat, and Zhang Shui was not polite, and sat down directly: "Uncle, I came this time to ask for something." ”

Zhang Shui didn't know what he could say for a while, and after the straight words suddenly popped out of his mouth, he suddenly regretted saying such words. Maybe it's because he hasn't seen his uncle for too long, but the reunion after more than 20 years has made him forget even the skills of conversation for a while.

"What's the matter? It should be quite difficult to find me on purpose, after all, Liu Bai and I have been hiding our whereabouts and never revealing our former identities. After Zhang Shui's reckless question, Xiao Zong still maintained a kind smile.

Since he accidentally went straight to the topic, then continue to talk, although it can be expected that Uncle Xiaozong's reaction may not be satisfactory, but now turning around will only make him more embarrassed, Zhang Shui made up his mind to say his intention directly.

"Uncle, there are a total of thirty-nine people in the Zhang family who are still alive today, including me, and I have gathered everyone except the two of you. I want to invite Uncle and Brother Liu Bai to join us, return to the Zhang family, break the Zhang family's so-called way of destroying demons, and correct the wrong path that the Zhang family has taken for so many years!"

As soon as Sanshui's words fell, he saw Uncle Xiaozong sitting opposite his face gloomy, and he didn't answer him for a long time, as if he was thinking about something slowly.

The atmosphere suddenly became low, and Liu Bai on the side didn't react at all, just stood silently beside Xiao Zong, it seemed that he was already an emotionless puppet early in the morning, and he would do what Xiao Zong asked him to do.

"Do you have to do this?Zhang Shui, have you really thought it through?" Xiao Zong suddenly asked Zhang Shui.

"Yes, uncle. I had already decided that. The four spirits of the Dao realm, the demon spirits are the best. Since the Zhang family's way of destroying demons will only make innocent demon spirits miserable, then what is there to hesitate to cut off the Zhang family's way. Zhang Shui quickly replied to Xiao Zong, there was nothing to hesitate about for him.

Zhang Shui didn't notice it, and at the moment when he said the sentence "The four spirits of the Dao realm, the demon spirit is the best", Xiao Zong frowned subtly.

Xiao Zong's whole person leaned back in the chair and relaxed, his face full of disappointed expressions of disappointment for Zhang Shui: "Ah Shui, let me ask you, when were you removed from the surname, and after you were removed from the surname, how many people were removed from the surname." ”

"I was officially removed from the Zhang family thirteen years ago, and of course I had been expelled from the Zhang family for eight years at that time. After I was removed from my surname, no one was removed from the Zhang family. Speaking of this, Zhang Shui suddenly guessed what Xiao Zong would say to him next.

"Before I left the Zhang family, the average one person in the Zhang family would be removed from the surname every two or three years. At that time, there would still be people in the Zhang family who realized that what the Zhang family did was wrong, but after you were removed from the surname, no one could understand it for thirteen years. Is there any point in saving the Zhang family like this?" Xiaozong's words were just as Zhang Shui expected.

Hearing Xiao Zong's words, Zhang Shui stood up unconvinced, and retorted loudly: "The Zhang family has no meaning to save, what should the innocent demon spirits in the Dao realm do? Just let the Zhang family slaughter it? This is not just about the Zhang family, if you can stop the Zhang family from going wrong, thousands of demon spirits will be saved." ”

Faced with Zhang Shui's rebuttal, Xiao Zong just shook his head: "Thirty-nine people, you want to subvert the Zhang family?" Ah Shui, you are no longer a child, don't be so naïve, okay? I will not join you in the action of a moth to a fire." ”

"It's not a moth to the fire, I will do all my connections to attract people I know to join in, until the Zhang family is corrected from the way of destroying demons. Zhang Shui said it categorically.

"Who do you think will help you fight against one of the five families of the Holy Dao Division, and no one will come to help you, that is equivalent to the behavior of the entire Dao Realm as an enemy, Ah Shui, you have to think about it carefully!" Xiao Zong took out the heaviest reality of Zhang Shui. There is no organization in the entire Dao Realm that has the strength to confront the Holy Dao Division.

Zhang Shui also knew in his heart that it was impossible for Zhong Lao to take out the entire Qingcheng Sect and the Lie family to help him, and at that time, only a few of his sworn friends might come to the call.

Zhang Shui, who understood this predicament, laughed at this moment, as if a person had been driven crazy in Xiaozong's opinion.

"Uncle, you're wrong, even if the Dao Realm can't find anyone to help me. If the thirty or so of us really can't confront the Zhang family, then I'll let the commander come over. ”

As soon as he heard this name, Xiao Zong actually stood up excitedly, and Zhang Xinzhen's reaction was different, he looked very frightened: "Qitong, what are you kidding." Impossible, how can you let the instrument system deal with the Zhang family. ”

"Yes, uncle. In the eight years from when I was abandoned by the Zhang family to when I was removed from my surname, I became a talisman master and studied under the Xuehua faction. As one of the four clans and four factions of the Instrument System, the Snowflake Sect occupies an elder seat in the Instrument System, and the only Snowflake Sect talisman master in the world is me. ”

"Are you the elder of the instrument system?" Xiao Zong was obviously a little panicked, of course he was not afraid of the instrument system, he was so old and was once the head of the Zhang family, he had no power to make him afraid, even if it was the Holy Dao Division, what he was worried about was only the consequences caused by the participation of the instrument system.

The instrument system has a long history as the Holy Dao Division, but with the development and widespread use of the talisman, the power of the instrument system is almost all over the entire Dao realm. However, whether the instrument system no longer makes ritual instruments is not something that can be understood on the surface.

Xiao Zong believed that the current instrument system had grown into a behemoth that was enough to deal with the thirteen families of the Holy Dao Division, not to mention that the thirteen families of the Holy Dao Division were now crippled. Especially after seeing Zhang Shui's attitude, Xiao Zong was even more sure of this.

"Although the dragon has not seen the head and tail for so many years, I am indeed the elder of the instrument. Occasionally, I will show my face, lest other clans think that our Snowflake Sect inheritance is broken, and they are afraid that the Snowflake Sect inheritance is broken, and every time I show my face, they will urge me to accept an apprentice. ”

Zhang Shui's words were nothing more than a reminder to Xiaozong of how important he was to the instrument system, and the instrument system was definitely able to act for him alone.

"Can you really bear this kind of consequence? The entire Dao Realm will be involved, and no one will be able to end it at that time. Xiao Zong scolded Zhang Shui.

"I just want my uncle to say yes. Zhang Shui is forcing Xiaozong to agree.

Xiao Zong closed his eyes in pain, Zhang Shui couldn't guess what he was thinking. He didn't care about the world for a long time, to be honest, he didn't care what happened to the Zhang family, he didn't care about this world, this people, and Xiaozong, but seeing his nephew become so paranoid and so desperate, he really felt heartache.

Even if Zhang Shui doesn't do it, there will always be other people who will do what he wants to do, just like Zhang Xiaozong back then, isn't it?

Xiaozong was silent for a long time before he slowly spoke: "If you want me to promise you, you can, but I want to see if the Zhang family is still removed from the surname, but is willing to rebel against the family for the sake of the demon spirit, if the Zhang family really has such a child now, I will promise you." ”

After Xiao Zong relented, Zhang Shui finally breathed a sigh of relief, even if he knew what would happen to the entire Dao Realm if he came in, he didn't want the instrument to intervene like Xiao Zong, what he just said was just a means to threaten Xiao Zong.

However, what really relieved Zhang Shui was the conditions set by Xiaozong, there were young people who were not removed from their surnames but were willing to stand on their side, but there were indeed them. As long as Zhang Haotian talks, he will follow him, as for Zhang Zhaimiao, Zhang Shui doesn't know what he has been trained in Qingcheng Sect, so let's go back and take a look this time.

"I'll find it, uncle, just wait for it, I'll bring them to you. In order not to delay time, the younger generation will leave. ”

Xiao Zong waved his hand to let Zhang Shui leave, and after Zhang Shui stepped out of the door of the rock house, he sat down on the rattan chair tiredly. Liu Bai, who had not said a word since just now, asked Xiaozong at this time: "Don't you tell Ah Shui the truth about the Zhang family?" ”

Xiao Zong shook his head gently: "No, Liu Bai, his temperament is different from yours, he has to see the truth for himself before he can believe it." This is also a test for him, if he can't get through, then he is not qualified to talk about saving the Zhang family. ”

Liu Bai did not express any objection to the word "save" said by Xiaozong, his face was still so expressionless, no one could guess what he was thinking, and the expressionless face said lightly: "I'll send him." ”

"Go, go. Xiaozong didn't say anything, and waved his hand at Liu Bai, since Liu Bai wanted to send it, let him send it.

Liu Bai left the rock house, and as soon as he walked out of the courtyard, he saw Zhang Shui outside the door, standing on the edge of the rock road, looking at the strange rock city that belonged to Xiapan at the bottom of the mountain, and had not left yet.

Liu Bai walked to Zhang Shui's side and stood side by side with him on the edge of the rock road: "It's beautiful, right." Uncle also chose this place to live because he could see such a good view here. When he spoke, Liu Bai was still expressionless.

"Brother Liu Bai......" Zhang Shui turned his head to look at Liu Bai, he felt uncomfortable when he thought of the reason why Liu Bai was removed, "Will you join us?"

Zhang Shui had already pleaded with Liu Bai so much, but Liu Bai still just shook his head and refused: "I will go wherever the uncle goes, if the uncle stays here, I will stay here to take care of him." ”

"I see, if I convince Uncle, then you will come too. Then I'm gone. After understanding what Liu Bai meant, Zhang Shui walked behind Liu Bai with relief, intending to leave.

Zhang Shui just took a few steps, seemed to remember something, and stopped again. After noticing that Zhang Shui had stopped, Liu Bai looked at him and asked, "Is there anything else you want to say?"

Zhang Shui turned his back to Liu Bai, didn't turn around, and asked, "Brother Liu Bai, do you still hate the Seventh Elder?"

Liu Bai was silent for a while, he hadn't taken the initiative to think about it for so many years, and waited for a while before answering Zhang Shui: "Probably...... I still hate it. ”

"Is that so? The Seventh Elder asked me to give you a message if I saw you. He said that he has been taking care of the twin flowers for you, go home and take a look, he can't take care of you all the time. ”

After Zhang Shui said this, he left, without looking back at Liu Bai's reaction, and Liu Bai did not respond to Zhang Shui's words, just stood alone and waited for Zhang Shui to leave.

Zhang Shui didn't see that Liu Bai, who no longer showed a trace of emotion on his face, was already teary-eyed at the moment.

"They are alive, alive. Thank you, Dad. ”

How many years have I not cried like now, Liu Bai himself can't remember, all the things that have been suppressed for so many years have finally been released one by one today, and Liu Bai's heart knot for so many years has finally shown a hint of loosening.

Behind the wall of the courtyard of the rock house, Xiao Zong leaned against the wall and heard Liu Bai's conversation and heard Liu Bai's low sobs. He smiled with relief, for so many years, Liu Bai's heartbreak can also be healed, every day facing Liu Bai with an expressionless face, Xiao Sect is such an old man who feels sorry for Liu Bai.

It was also at this moment that Xiaozong had already made up his mind that the next time Zhang Shui visited again, no matter whether he met his requirements or not, he would agree to Zhang Shui, maybe the matter of the Zhang family had reached a point where it could be decided.

All this that happened in Qiyan City, Zhang Haotian was unaware, at this moment, he was following Le Zheng Tingyin on the way to the Dao History Society, and he was not in the Qingcheng Sect at all, and Zhang Shui, who was going to the Qingcheng Sect, would miss it temporarily.
