Chapter 3: The Past
"Childe, may I ask what is the purpose of my little stronghold?"
Although it is said to be a stronghold, this is already the only city within a radius of 100 miles, naturally gathered a large number of people, it is not a small town, the other party's monk Haotian can actually see through, is a Tianzun level monk, in this realm can have a Tianzun level.
Terrific!
"What do you call it?"
The visitor is a guest, Haotian naturally got the treatment of the concierge level, and was regarded as the guest of honor of this stronghold, Haotian took out the help token of this stronghold, if it was not issued by this stronghold, how could it be issued by that stronghold?
"Optimus Haotian" replied.
"I'm Yao Zhe, just call me Yao City Lord." This Yao City Lord is the strongest person in this stronghold, and the monk is estimated to be no more than the Tianzun level according to Haotian, and he is indeed a great general, and his burly figure is displayed the moment he stands up, which is the unique aura of a mecha monk.
"Wu Gongzi, you said that you have a distress token from our base, can you show me?"
The latter took it carefully and said, in fact, he couldn't believe it, this was actually his own token, at this time, the city lord stood up and said, "Haotian Gongzi, you are a person from Qingtian, we will naturally have a good reception."
"But as you can see, our stronghold hasn't been attacked at the moment, so I wonder if Childe has any other missions?" Yao Zhe's words made Haotian frown, this is obviously not very welcome to himself as an outsider, but he doesn't think that no, it is impossible to leave now.
They had just experienced a battle of life and death, and that battle might not have been felt on a sunny day, but they were so close to this stronghold, they didn't feel it, it was impossible, there must be some secret hidden in it! It must be investigated, and there is no room for error in the last days.
"Hehe, the purpose of my previous visit is naturally to establish a connection between the various strongholds and Qingtian, I will stay here for a while, Lord Yao, rest assured, my existence will not have any impact on the city." Seeing that Haotian was determined to stay, Yao Zhe didn't say anything, and said, "Since Gongzi Wu plans to stay, we are naturally welcome, I have provided a courtyard for Gongzi Wu in the City Lord's Mansion, please move in!"
After that, two subordinates took Haotian away and took him to the courtyard, he didn't say much, but followed the two subordinates to his courtyard.
"Wu Gongzi, in the coming days, we will serve Gongzi, please don't see Gongzi." These two people were wearing black robes, and Haotian said, "Since they are serving me, then it's not good to wear black robes?" Haotian is actually an extremely young existence, although he is more than half a hundred years old, he is still very young among the monks.
The two of them glanced at each other, and they were entangled for a moment, as if they had some unsavory secrets, but soon they took off their robes, revealing a face that made Haotian difficult to accept for a while, these two were not other people, it was the two Shangguan sisters who had been fighting with them for the longest time.
"This..."
At this time, Haotian was directly stunned, could it be that he fell into a time loop again?
….
Of course, these two obviously didn't know about the existence of a character like Haotian, so they naturally showed strange expressions, and thought they had offended Haotian, so they asked, "Gongzi Wu, is there anything wrong with the two of us?"
Haotian was silent for a while, and when he looked at the past carefully, he would find that the two people in front of him were so young, so it seemed that it was normal for them not to know themselves.
"What are the names of the two of you?" Haotian is looking for inner thoughts, wanting them to answer the answer in their hearts, but unfortunately the two daughters are hesitant and did not say the answer they want, Haotian recalled the long-ago hotel owner, his instructions are still vivid, and he can't bear to sigh in his heart anymore to make people, the gears of fate have been slowly turning from this moment on, and she has never let go of herself.
Since it was someone he was familiar with, in order to abide by the agreement with the shopkeeper, he gladly accepted the second daughter, and at the same time asked, "You two are so young, what about your parents?" The more she asked, the more depressed the second daughter's mood became, it seemed that the tragedy had happened, and she had already had a cause and effect with them at this time.
"Okay then
Since you have chosen to follow me, then I will be in charge of your daily life."
Looking at the women who have a relationship with him in the future, Haotian suddenly found that there was something strange, they had no cultivation at all now, in their memories, they were all hunted down and killed by the enemy, but in this stronghold, it was impossible for them to be hunted down.
It looks like there's another space-time warp, which is incredibly strange.
I'd better ask, those years. Some thoughts are deep in Haotian's heart, after settling the second daughter, Haotian plans to wander around this stronghold, especially that Yao Zhe City Lord, it is definitely not simple, such a Tianzun-level monk should not be an unknown person, at least it should be born from a certain family power.
'Distress Token... Hold the token in your hand and don't forget your task, Haotian reminded himself.
On the streets, it seems that people do not feel that the end is coming, but as long as you go hundreds of kilometers to the west except for the city, you will find that this is already the edge of the continent, and the edge is not the sea, but the abyss of the starry sky! The gods that exist above their heads also remind Haotian that time and space are in place.
It's just that this extremely small area has been distorted, most of the area is still intact, and on the streets, there are all kinds of merchants, but unfortunately the cultivation is too low, and there is no goal for him, he wants to find the owner of the hotel here, only if he finds the boss, then the appearance of the two Shangguan sisters will be in line with his intuition.
Coincidentally, when I asked passers-by if there was a tavern near here, I really inquired, and when I came to the tavern, the decoration here was exactly the same as in my memory, and there was a sense of intimacy, but unfortunately it was a matter of people, at least I had experienced a lot.
The tavern owner could see at a glance that Haotian was coming with something, and there were still many drinkers here, and they were all talking about the end of the world.
"Is there anything you need for this object?" The tavern keeper smiled and took out the finest wine and poured it down for Haotian, who laughed, "It's nothing, it's here, I feel familiar." I sat down and picked up the wine and drank it all, and looked at the shopkeeper, who seemed to sense something, so he smiled and said, "If you want other wine, please come inside."
….
"That's fine." Haotian said with a smile, facing this boss, he was naturally very kind, and when he came to the tavern, everything here seemed to be vivid, as if he had returned to the beginning.
"Hehe, what do you call Childe?"
"Haotian."
"It seems that Haotian Gongzi is a person with a story." And Haotian also went straight to the point and said, "I wonder if the boss can know the two Shangguan sisters?"
「!!??」
This breath froze, the originally gentle boss, his face instantly became solidified, and the atmosphere was tense to the extreme, as if the two sides would fight in the next second, and a big war broke out, at this time Haotian smiled and said, "Boss, don't be nervous, I don't have any malicious intentions, now it seems that you have a good relationship with City Lord Yao."
The latter secretly said in his heart: "It's so strong, I've burst out of this breath, this guy doesn't move at all, and he can still talk to me, it seems that he is not an idle person."
"I am the monk who was invited into the city by City Lord Yao today." Haotian drank the wine again, and couldn't help but sigh that this wine was delicious, just like going back to the beginning, when he was really sure that Haotian didn't have any malicious intentions, he calmed down at this time.
'This guy shouldn't be here for Shangguan's family, it seems that there is something else, you can find out. After coming to his conclusion, the tavern owner also relaxed his attitude and said, "Yes, Shangguan Qin and Shangguan Xuan do have a relationship with me, I wonder what happened to Gongzi?"
"No, it's just that they were assigned to serve me, and I came with a distress token, but as you know, there is no trace of the attack on the stronghold."
"Can you show me the Distress Token?" The hotel owner asked, Haotian didn't hide it, the middle-aged man looked at Haotian again after seeing the token, the corners of his mouth showed an inadvertent smile, and said, "Wu Gongzi, it seems that this order for help is true of this city.
But there hasn't been any attack here."
"So, I just wanted to ask what era this place belongs to."
Everyone is a smart person, and there are some things that don't need to be too obvious, everyone knows it; However, the shopkeeper obviously didn't intend to answer Haotian, he said, "Wu Gongzi, it seems that I can't answer this question."
"Why?"
"Because it will attract the existence of taboos!"
"Since you're here, then Wu Gongzi will stay in the stronghold first, and if there is anything to investigate, you can investigate it slowly." After saying that, he left the flask and walked out, continuing to run his tavern; Haotian shook his head, will it attract the existence of taboos? I've already fought against the gods, will I still be afraid of these taboos?
This is not Haotian's boasting, but the existence of an existence like him who has experienced a great war, naturally there is a murderous aura, and this murderous aura can be well hidden through the secret trick, this stronghold still has many secrets, and he does not know the appropriate time and space turbulence.
'It's weird...
Haotian also left here at this time, and at the same time, the tavern owner said, "Wu Gongzi, no matter where you come from, please take care!"
"Oh, okay."
"Oh, by the way, the two Shangguan sisters are no more than twenty years old."
"Twenty, haven't you embarked on the path of cultivation yet?"
"Hehe, their energy is much stronger than you think!" Under the other party's reminder, Haotian recalled that when he first met these two sisters, if he didn't use cultivation, he would naturally be no different from ordinary people, but once he used cultivation, the spirit of one party would inevitably be completely integrated into the other.
In other words, it's not that they didn't cultivate, but they didn't activate it at all, and it seems that the shopkeeper didn't know about it, so both of them were arranged in their own yards.
"I don't like this," Haotian said to himself.
Outside the store, the sky is still the same color, Haotian's face changed slightly, he has obviously been in the tavern for a long time, why hasn't the sky changed at all? Of course, the battle of the gods is still going on, and the kingdom of God has not yet been fully integrated, and once the kingdom of gods is fully integrated, the war will start immediately!
At that time, it will be another totem.
