Chapter Twenty-Eight: Where Did He Go?
The three children sat around the old man, becoming more and more interested in Huan Zu's story, and they were completely fascinated by it. And the old man's voice still carried a heavy sense of memory, and it kept coming out.
"Soon after Huan Zu disappeared, the people of our White Tiger Department discovered this problem, so they immediately organized a large number of clansmen to search. However, no matter how we searched, even after carefully checking the entire temple, we did not find the slightest trace of Huan Zu. At that time, we didn't know that Huan Zu had disappeared out of thin air, and we only thought that Huan Zu had been poisoned by the Tiger Devouring Department and fell. ”
"The disappearance of Huan Zu was too big a blow to us at that time. Without such a capable person as him, our source of magic weapons was cut off again, so we quickly became no match for the Tiger Devouring Sect again. Moreover, there was also a mysterious powerhouse on the side of the Tiger Devouring Department at that time, and with the help of his secret method, the Tiger Devouring Department continued to become stronger and more difficult. As a result, not long after Huan Zu disappeared, the little hope that our White Tiger Department had finally seen was quickly annihilated, and even fell into complete despair for a while. ”
"The Tiger Devouring Tribes soon launched a fierce attack on us, and under the pressure of their absolute strength, the front of my White Tiger Tribes could only be forced to retreat again and again, until after a period of time, they completely withdrew from the Holy Mountain, and then retreated to our own rear, and there was no way to retreat. ”
"Before the final battle, I didn't know how many people in the tribe were still thinking about Huan Zu at that time. However, I missed him all the time. Because I will never forget that he gave me a powerful weapon that allowed me to fight hard and win a duel that I could not have won!"
"For me, that battle was a miracle, a miracle given to me by Huan Zu. So maybe it was from that time on, I saw him as a man who could do miracles. So, before the decisive battle, I still expect him to repeat the miracle. ”
"It's just that at that time, even in my heart, I didn't believe that Huan Zu would appear again. Because he's been gone for so long, I can't think of a reason why he's still alive. And I also knew that with his cultivation and methods at that time, he would not be able to change the battle situation in the entire extreme northern land. ”
"Did he show up last?" a child asked with some eagerness.
The old man nodded: "Yes, he still showed up eventually." For such a long time, no one knew what he had been through, except that those who appeared with him occasionally mentioned that he seemed to have entered a mysterious place and obtained the inheritance of the White Tiger God!"
"The White Tiger God is the god of my tribe, and it is also the god of the Tiger Devouring Department who does not believe in existence at all. And to this day, I always think that Huan Zu is the one who has been recognized by the White Tiger God, and it can even be said that he has taken over the glory of the White Tiger God!"
"I will never forget that at the last moment when we were cornered by the Tiger Devouring Tribe, and at the moment before my White Tiger Tribe's clan was about to be wiped out, Huan Zu appeared. He stood proudly on the Holy Mountain, beside him was a powerful white tiger, and behind him, there were countless monks who were powerful enough to change the entire battle situation. ”
"At that moment, I was on the battlefield and looked extremely embarrassed. I was ready to die, but when I saw him, it was as if I saw the savior, the manifestation of the White Tiger God!"
Huan Zu suddenly appeared with a large group of men and horses, and rushed down directly from the top of the holy mountain, and his powerful combat power quickly defeated the Tiger Devouring Tribe, which had been invincible before. Under the leadership of Huan Zu, we directly turned defeat into victory on that day, and after exterminating all the soldiers of the Tiger Devouring Department who rushed over, we fought through the Holy Mountain and hit the lair of the Tiger Devouring Tribe. ”
"My White Tiger Division has been fighting the Tiger Eater for many years, and I have never been to the Tiger Eater's lair. But that time, in less than a day, Huan Zu took us to do it. At that time, I really knew how great Huan Zu's ability was, and the miracles he could create, I couldn't understand it at all. ”
"In the end, under the leadership of Huan Zu, we wiped out the Tiger Devouring Department in one fell swoop and truly became the masters of this Extreme Northern Land. And I also clearly remember that it was Huan Zu and the white tiger he brought out that eliminated the last and strongest calamity. There is a tacit understanding and friendship between them, so they are invincible. I think that all the people of my White Tiger tribe have cultivated the way of the Imperial Spirit, but in the final battle of that time, Huan Zu really made us understand what it means to be a Royal Spirit. Compared to our method of control, the true friendship between Huan Zu and the White Tiger is simply ashamed of us, and his understanding of the way of the spirit is much higher than ours. ”
Speaking of which, the memories in the old man's eyes finally faded slowly, and it was obvious that his story was almost over. He suddenly sighed faintly, then touched the head of the child beside him, and said: "If there was no Huan Ancestor, my White Tiger Clan would have been wiped out a long time ago, and there would be no you." Most of my White Tiger believes in the White Tiger God, but in my grandfather's opinion, the White Tiger God is too far away, although it is respectable, it is untouchable. And Huan Zu is someone I have seen with my own eyes, he is not only respectable, but also by my side, in front of my eyes. In my heart, he is also a god!"
The three children had long been completely fascinated by what they had heard, but now they heard the old man say almost, but they were still unsatisfied. So a child asked, "Grandpa Lakshen, did Huan Zu leave our tribe with his white tiger later?"
The old man nodded: "Later, he left, because he still had his own things to do, and he took his white tiger with him." Later, he went to the Ziyin Sect and became a strong monk among the world's largest sects. I heard that he had gone all the way up the thousand-step ladder of the Ziyin Sect with only his legs, and he was the second person besides Lu Jian Zhenren to climb the thousand-step ladder without using his hands. ”
"But many years later, I found him again in the Ziyin Sect and asked him to return to my tribe. That time, when he came back with the white tiger, he left the white tiger in our tribe and did not take it with him. And that white tiger is actually Bai Kui. ”
The three children were startled at the same time and screamed, "Tiger Ancestor Bai Kui?"
The old man nodded: "Yes, it is Bai Kui who has guarded our tribe for hundreds of years." ”
The children shouted in unison: "Tiger Ancestor Bai Kui's cultivation is Tongtian, and it turns out to be Huan Zu's...... of the Imperial Spirit?"
The old man said: "Actually, I have always known that Bai Kui stayed in our tribe, and he was waiting for Huan Zu, waiting for Huan Zu to come back and take him away. I just don't know, how far away that day is. ”
A child immediately asked again: "Grandpa Lakshen, where did Huan Zu leave Bai Kui, and is there any news of him now?"
Hearing this, the old man's face quickly became a little ugly. However, he still tried to suppress it, not wanting the children to see his expression.
In fact, the old man knew very well in his heart that among the tribes, all the older generations who had seen Huan Zu would never forget him, and it could even be said that they missed him all the time and admired him. However, for so many years, few people have been willing to mention him, and even only occasionally say a few words when he is drunk, just because everyone knows that although talking about his past is always full of legends, containing thrilling and admirable colors, but in the end he can't avoid a question that even a child asks, an extremely simple question: where has he gone now?
It's not that no one knows where he went, but on the contrary, everyone who has crossed paths with him cares about where he is. So after he was slapped to ashes by a mysterious powerhouse, everyone quickly knew that the peerless powerhouse who had great kindness to his tribe and was full of legend died in the end. Unlike his legendary life, his ending came suddenly and unexpectedly.
Such a thing is like a wonderful story of ups and downs, and the protagonist has created countless myths, but in the end it suddenly disappears.
For a moment, the old man fell silent. He looked up at the sky, trying to further hide his unnaturalness in front of the children. However, sadness gradually piled up on his face, making his escape seem a little weak.
The old man didn't know how to phrase it, he felt that that person's legendary life should not have such a tragic ending, but the truth was so cruel. He didn't want to leave a sad wound in the young hearts of the children, because he knew that it would kill their hopes of heroes, but he didn't want to lie to the children.
At this moment, the old man couldn't wait to shout, "Why is this happening?" as he had screamed countless times before.
Until a voice, a voice with a distant and familiar taste, suddenly sounded behind the old man: "He went on a journey later, he went to many places, and he came a long way. Then he returned, to see his old friends, whom he had once loved, and to see the land where he had fought. ”
The old man shook violently, and this voice seemed to make him hear the continuation of that legend!8)
