Chapter 4: The Old Man Sweeping the Floor (Altar of Mystery)
Tianzhao dragged Duguxue to a restaurant, and after Tianzhao said something wrong, he persuaded Duguxue to wait for the two to have breakfast, and then go to the Zhonggu Cave Mansion together. The two of them boarded the restaurant, casually found a sword room and sat down, Tianzhao called Xiao Er and ordered three or five side dishes, and asked for two bowls of rice.
After Xiao Er retreated, Tianzhao looked at Duguxue at this moment with big eyes, and saw that Duguxue was looking at the street outside the window in a daze, and immediately sighed and asked, "What is the reason that you will not hesitate to lose your life to cross this desert to come to my Demon Domain for the sake of strength?"
Duguxue was stunned, turned his head to look at Tianzhao, and then turned his head and continued to look at the street in a daze without answering.
"How long did it take you to come all the way in the desert?" Tianzhao was not angry when he saw Duguxue's appearance, but continued to ask patiently.
"Three years ......" Finally, an answer came from Duguxue's mouth, and Tianzhao's face was happy.
"Then ......" Tianzhao stopped talking, and then asked with some hesitation: "Is Bai Yu a man or a woman?
Hearing Tianzhao's question, Duguxue's eyes gradually became dim, and his blood-red eyes seemed to see the past, becoming desolate. Seeing this, Tianzhao immediately stopped the next question, and smiled at Dugu Xue: "Don't think about it, I'm just curious, you don't have to worry about it in this demon domain, no one will recognize you wherever you go, as long as you make Miss Ben happy, Miss Ben can protect your ......"
Dugu Blood glanced at Tianzhao strangely, smiled bitterly on his pale face, and then shook his head. Tianzhao somehow, leaned towards Duguxue, and then looked at Duguxue with big eyes and blinked and said: "Actually, you look good when you smile, there is no need to keep a straight face every day, like a dead man's face, you must have been quite handsome before, right......?"
"You're right......" Duguxue said with a deep breath.
"What?" Tianzhao looked at Duguxue in confusion.
"I died once...... Dugu Blood replied to Tianzhao in a flat tone, if it wasn't for the strange monk who rescued him that day, I don't think there would be a future self. It's just that Tianzhao doesn't know these days, but his mouth is slightly open, stunned in place, and he doesn't know how to answer.
Just when the atmosphere was a little weird and awkward, Xiao Er came in with the dishes, and when Xiao Er put the dishes on the table, the atmosphere in the private room was normal. After Xiao Er respectfully retreated, Tianzhao glanced at Dugu Xue, then picked up a pair of chopsticks and said, "Eat, I'll take you to ...... when you're full."
Duguxue nodded, and also picked up the chopsticks and ate. But after a while, Ren Duguxue suddenly remembered something, and then looked at Tianzhao in front of him suspiciously, Tianzhao was wearing a veil, usually she didn't show her true face, so how did she eat......
Tianzhao looked at Duguxue's gaze towards him, first his cheeks flushed, and then his big eyes blinked at Duguxue and said sharply: "Don't look up!"
Duguxue knew this, and then lowered his head and began to eat. Tianzhao silently said a fool in his heart, let you bow your head, it's really boring. But he couldn't say anything more at the moment, Tianzhao saw that Duguxue's rice was almost finished, so he called Xiao Er to serve another bowl......
After the two finished eating, the sun was slowly crawling towards the sky, and the two went out of the restaurant, Tianzhao turned around and looked at Dugu Blood with a displeased face and said, "Come with me shopping......"
On Dugu's pale face, a pair of eyes looked at Tianzhao in front of him in disbelief, with black lines on his face, not to mention how bad his mood was. Duguxue turned around and left, heading towards the west of the city. Tianzhao hurriedly stopped Duguxue, and then said with big eyes: "You, can't you joke? I don't know how many people in the world want to go shopping with Miss Ben, and you still don't want to!"
Dugu Blood did not change because of Tianzhao's words, and continued to walk towards the west. Looking at such a resolute Dugu blood, the angry Tianzhao's face changed, so he had to hold back the anger in his heart, and said to the back of this Dugu blood: "Okay, okay, Miss Ben will take you there, but say in advance, if you can't enter the Zhonggu Cave Mansion at that time, you will have to come back to accompany Miss Ben to go shopping!"
Duguxue stopped, turned around and glanced at Tianzhao, and nodded reluctantly. Seeing Dugu Blood nodding, Tianzhao returned to his face just now, and walked in front with Dugu Blood walking towards the west of the city with Dugu Blood in high spirits.
As soon as I came to the west of the city, I saw a square altar standing on the ground, and the altar had clear lines of ravines and ravines. There are four stone lions carved in stone around the altar, the lion is also more than 100 feet tall, Dugu blood can't help but marvel, such a large complete stone is relatively rare, and the lion carved from this is even more rare. Four lions were bound by huge chains, and in a circle, they protected the altar. Under the altar was an old man sweeping the fallen leaves on the ground with a broom in his hand.
The old man was the old man who had appeared at the gate of the black market once, and the old man saw Tianzhao walking towards the altar with Dugu blood on his toes, and immediately shook his head and sighed with a black line of embarrassment. Then he put down the broom in his hand and turned to leave.
"Little Hongzi, you are not allowed to leave, !!" A loud shout sounded, Duguxue looked at Tianzhao beside him and wondered, this old man is ......
I saw that the old man heard Tianzhao's voice with a black line on his face, and the right foot that had just stepped out trembled and retracted, and then turned around and saluted Tianzhao with an ugly face: "Ancestor, are you my grandmother!!? Duguxue didn't believe it at first, he didn't believe that a man was an old man who looked like he was one or two hundred years old, how could he give a name like Xiaohong. But when he saw the old man's face flushed from drinking, Duguxue was enlightened......
"Don't talk too much! If you don't say it, I won't say it, who will know that he has been in? Besides, there are not 1,000 but 800 of my demon clan's disciples who enter this altar every year, who cares about him being such an ordinary cultivator. Tianzhao retorted to the old man. Book 6 bar
"He's ordinary?" the old man pursed his lips, then looked at Dugu Blood three times and said: "A human race, in his twenties, the bone age has already been out of the middle stage of the body, and he has also crossed the handover desert between humans and demons and is not dead, you say he is ordinary? Lie to me, how does the old man ......drop when he is old" After speaking, the old man pursed his lips and tilted his head over his chest, no longer paying attention to Tianzhao and the others.
"Meet the seniors under Duguxue!" Duguxue saluted the old man with a fist. But then the old man snorted angrily and ignored Duguxue. Dugu Xue's face was a little embarrassed, and then he looked at Tianzhao.
Tianzhao stepped forward, took out a pot of wine from the storage ring, and shook it in front of the old man, who smelled the aroma of wine, and his eyes immediately straightened. Tian Zhao also snorted lightly, and then asked, "Let him in, this pot of wine is yours!"
"Auntie, there's an order here... I... I'm ......" The old man replied to Tianzhao's words, staring directly at the wine jug swinging in Tianzhao's hand, and what made Duguxue unimaginable was that the old man actually wiped his saliva......
"This is immortal drunk!" Tianzhao said softly to the old man with a smile.
"Ahh The immortal was drunk ......" The old man's complexion changed suddenly, his eyes instantly changed from the rarity just now to greed, and the saliva couldn't be stopped, and it fell to the ground.
"Twenty years of immortal drunkenness, my father personally brewed it, there are only ten pots of ...... in the world," Tianzhao then seduced the old man and said.
The old man's face began to become tormented, and then tears began to flow from his eyes, and he struggled to say to Tianzhao: "Auntie... Aren't you going to kill me......"
"If you don't want it, then we'll go! Anyway, when the altar is changed, and when Xiaobai comes, I will give him some spirit stones, and I can also let him in, but it's just a matter of waiting for a few days." Tianzhao suddenly straightened his neck and said to the old man, and after speaking, he took back the wine jug, intending to put it in the storage ring.
The old man watched the wine jug in front of him get farther and farther away from him, and he only felt that his heart was like a knife, and his old face became distorted. After thinking about it again, the old man looked at Tianzhao, and then at Duguxue: "Alas!ah!" The old man screamed strangely twice and snatched the wine jug from Tianzhao's hand, and then said to Tianzhao: "If you don't say it, I won't say it!"
"If you don't say it, I won't say it!" Tianzhao repeated the old man's words in the old man's ear.
"Hahaha......" The old man laughed instantly, hugged the wine jug in his hand and immediately kissed him, like an old lover who had been separated for a long time. Tianzhao also smiled, then took Duguxue's hand and walked to the altar, and did not forget to say to Xiaohong as he left: "Thank you!"
"No thanks, no thanks!" The old man named Xiaohong was still kissing wildly while holding the wine jug, and suddenly the old man's face changed, he hugged the wine jug tightly in his arms, and then looked up and down around the altar, and then a shocking momentum rose from the old man's body, and the old man's consciousness suddenly spread all over the surrounding ten miles, seeing that there were no idle people in Fang Yuan, the old man was relieved to hold the wine jug and walked to a room not far away, and then quietly closed the door, and the old man's shocking laughter came out in the room after a while.
Just when Tianzhao pulled Duguxue into a stone door on the altar, suddenly a momentum rose behind the two, Duguxue was shocked, and just wanted to turn back, but was stopped by Tianzhao. The master of the early stage of the merger! Duguxue secretly said vigilantly in his heart.
Tianzhao looked at the expression on Dugu Xue's face, and then explained: "Xiaohong is the senior elder of the Demon Palace, and this altar is a major place of the Demon Clan, so every year the Demon Palace will send elders to guard here, but don't worry, he won't embarrass you, and there is a sister to cover you." After Tianzhao finished speaking, he didn't forget to straighten his chest.
After listening to Tianzhao, Duguxue's gaze at Tianzhao became even more puzzled, what was the identity of the woman in front of him. Unable to allow Duguxue to think too much, Duguxue was dragged into the depths of the altar by Tianzhao.
Inside the altar was a corridor, which was originally black and empty, without a trace of light, but after the two entered, suddenly lights lit up from both sides of the road. I saw that on the stone walls on both sides of the road, there were all kinds of calligraphy and paintings, and it looked like it was at least a thousand years old.
Although Dongfang Xue was surprised, Tianzhao didn't look at it strangely, but walked directly to the depths with Dugu blood. After a while, a bridge appeared in front of the two, and Tianzhao also stopped moving forward, and then came back to his senses and explained to Dugu Xue, who was puzzled at the moment: "This bridge is the gate of the cave, after crossing this bridge, you can enter the final ancient cave, there are many fantasies on the bridge, are you ready?"
Duguxue looked at the stone bridge in front of him, and then nodded at Tianzhao. But Tianzhao still glanced at Duguxue in disbelief, then stretched out his jade hand and said to Duguxue: "You better hold me, in case you ......"
Duguxue looked at Tian Zhao, whose cheeks were red again, shook his head politely, and then said to Tian Zhao: "You still wait for me here, I'll go back." ”
"No, don't forget that you are a human race, in case something happens...... Tianzhao suddenly said excitedly to Duguxue, but he stopped in the middle of speaking, only to see Duguxue looking at himself suspiciously, Tianzhao's big eyes were a little dodgy, and he lowered his head.
"Wait for me here, I'll come when I go!" Duguxue appeared in front of the bridge in a flash after speaking, and stepped on it without hesitation.
"Don't!!" At the moment when Duguxue stepped on the bridge, Tianzhao behind him instantly reacted and shouted at Duguxue, the voice stopped abruptly in Duguxue's ears, and then Duguxue was in front of another world......
