Chapter Seventy-Eight: Time Is Running Out
Ten years later.
Zhimo, who was dressed in the costume of a core disciple, stood outside the Taichu Immortal Gate, looked up at the glorious blessed land, and looked in a trance.
Three years ago, when Zhimo was doing the core disciple assessment, he met a man who claimed to be his father's friend in Dachu Jingshi, this man was magnificent, dressed in a black gorgeous robe, and his eyebrows revealed a kind of superior atmosphere. This strange father's friend, whom he had never met, gave him a jade pendant, saying that it was left to him by his father before his death.
It took three years for Zhimo to finally figure out the 'secret' in the jade pendant, which he didn't tell his mother, not even his most trusted sister.
"After all, you have to judge for yourself. ”
As soon as he entered the blessed land, Zhimo saw three old dogs.
He remembered that these three dogs were the pets raised by Grandpa Xue, the demon king who had been cultivated for more than 600 years, and his strength was terrifying, but he was also the gatekeeper in the Taichu Immortal Gate.
"Little Zhimo, you're back from another mission?"
Wai Tian drooped his eyelids and said hello.
Over the years, the three little earth dogs such as the Roaring Heaven have slowly become old, and because of their qualifications, the Demon Pill Realm is already their peak, although they have the title of the Demon King, but there is too much water, and after going out for a few waves, the three little earth dogs such as the Roaring Heaven have slowly calmed their minds, and they have guarded the door at the entrance of the blessed land wholeheartedly, not to mention, after being a demon beast of the town faction, life is much more comfortable than before, and it is hundreds of years to keep it, and slowly get used to it.
Zhimo and Zhixin'er, the two sisters and brothers, are still quite impressed, after all, after so many years, among the new generation of disciples, the master of the sect has only cared about the two of them.
"Uncle Roaring Heaven. ”
Zhimo said hello.
"Don't be in a hurry to leave, after the master asks you to come back, go to his side first. He remembered the task assigned by the master.
"Grandpa Xue looking for me?"
Zhimo chuckled in his heart, it couldn't be that the 'secret' he secretly investigated was discovered.
"Do you know what's going on?"
"How do I know about the master, you can just ask for it yourself. He yawned, looked back, and found that his two brothers were sleeping soundly.
This is what an honest demon like himself is doing, and they are also demon beasts of the town faction, why are the two of them more comfortable than themselves?
Roaring Tian was so indignant that he didn't even bother to pay attention to Zhimo's questioning.
On the other hand, Zhi Xin'er also met the first lover in her life, a low-born but ambitious person who did not succumb to power. Under the guidance of her casual lover, Zhixin'er discovered some of the darkness that had been 'covered' in the past history, and these darkness were all related to her closest mother and the head Xue Zhenren.
"Xue Chuan is a person who is scheming, and very good at disguise, on the surface, he seems to care about the world, but in fact, he is secretly manipulating the entire immortal cultivation world, and the Tianhan Temple, which was famous all over the world in the past, was actually created by him, and tens of thousands of people died directly and indirectly in his hands, which is an out-and-out demon. ”
This is the 'truth' that Zhi Xin'er and Taoist Li Cheng investigated together, at first Zhi Xin'er didn't believe it, but when one truth after another was put in front of her, especially after seeing one of the surviving Venerables of Tianhan Temple, her heart finally appeared a little shaken. In the final analysis, whether it is Zhixin'er or Zhimo, these two people are separated by Zuo Meng, if it is Zhihua, they will definitely not be affected by these 'truths', but their sisters and brothers are different, although they are Zuo Meng's grandchildren, they don't really see Zuo Meng many times, and most of their understanding comes from their mother's narrative, which is why the chess player chooses the two of them.
"Uncle Roaring, have you seen my brother?"
Zhi Xin'er looked at the three demon kings at the entrance and found that only one was still awake.
"The head of the house has something to do with him, and he just passed. ”
Grandpa Xue?
If it was before, Zhixin'er would definitely not take it to heart, but this time he came back to investigate 'really want', and when he heard that his younger brother was called over, he couldn't help but be a little worried.
"I happen to have not seen Grandpa Xue for a long time. ”
"Go, go. ”
Roaring Tian is still struggling with the demon king, who is also a gatekeeper, why the other two sleep every day.
The blessed land is as deserted as ever.
When I first saw this place, it was the same as the immortal residence, Qionglou Yuyu, surrounded by aura, but after living for a long time, I didn't feel so, I only felt that the blessed land was a little deserted, although there were still disciples of the Taichu Immortal Gate, but compared to the blessed land cave that was comparable to a small world, there were still too few people, and it was cold and unpopular.
As the head of Zuo Meng, the place where he lives is naturally the highest place in Qionglou.
White Jade Building.
The area of Baiyulou is even more deserted, and for the disciples of the Taichu Immortal Sect, this place can basically be regarded as a forbidden place. After Zhixin'er walked here, she basically couldn't see anyone anymore, and there were cold pavilions everywhere as far as the eye could see. After walking for about half a pillar of incense, Zhi Xin'er came to the end, there was a quiet room here, in Zhi Xin'er's memory, Grandpa Xue basically lived here all the time.
"It's Xiao Xin'er, why did you remember to come to see me, a bad old man. ”
As soon as she pushed the door open, Zhixin'er saw Grandpa Xue's long-lost smile, which was still so warm.
"I haven't seen Grandpa Xue for a long time, so I made a special trip to visit your old man. Zhixin'er is familiar with the greeting, but there is a hint of bluntness between the words, she is not those old foxes after all, and there is no way to hide her emotions perfectly.
It's just that Master Xue took into account that he hadn't seen his relatives for a long time, and he didn't find this detail, so he happily took out a gourd pill.
"This is the seventh-turn golden pill I just practiced, and I just gave your brother a furnace, and this furnace is specially reserved for you. ”
"Thank you, Grandpa Xue. ”
Zhi Xin'er took the pill, then glanced around and asked.
"Where's my brother?"
"Xiao Mo'er went back first, he just left before you came. ”
Xue Zhangmen began to pull Zhixin'er to chat, and it was a long time to chat, this 'Xue Zhenren', who is respected as the first in the world, is becoming more and more like an old man, although his appearance is not old, but his heart is old.
"Grandpa Xue, I'll go back first. ”
Zhixin'er got up, she wanted to go to her brother to make sure he was okay, and her mother, she probably knew more, and it was time to talk to her publicly.
"Go, go. I'll have time to come and see my old man, time ...... Not much. ”
Xue Zhenren said something inexplicable.
Zhixin'er was a little strange.
Why is there not much time? Grandpa Xue is really a little strange.
Looking at the back of Zhixin'er leaving, the smile on Zuo Meng's face faded little by little, and finally returned to indifference.
Time is running out.
Because, he's waking up.
