Chapter Seventy-Six: Candlelight Night Talk
Sheltered Mountain, a forbidden stone house in the backyard of the Sheltered Temple.
At this time, although it was already late at night, and the Shelter Hall had been killed by all the cult members of the Cold Ice Pavilion, there was still a faint candlelight in this secluded stone house of the "Wraithical Array".
In the distance, there was a low sound of insects.
In the silence, there seems to be some heartbeat sound!
The night wind blew, and the flame of the lamp above the offering table shook and trembled as if it were wheezing.
The crazy old man slowly turned around, stretched out his old palm to protect the ever-bright lamp, and gently blocked the direction of the wind with his hand, and soon, the lamp quieted down and began to burn steadily again.
The Mad Old Hall stared deeply at this bit of light, and the light was reflected in his eyes, as if something was also burning.
Suddenly, his brows furrowed, and the old voice said slowly: "I didn't expect you to come here after the battle of the Evening City Massacre. ”
Greedy Wolf Star Jun did not respond, his body was still wrapped in black light, but he only showed a pair of slightly old but extremely shrewd eyes to look at the crazy old man.
Under the dim light, the eyes of the two old men collided in mid-air, and they were stunned for a while, and inadvertently, they suddenly found that the other party was already so old, and then remembered that they were not the same?
The greedy wolf star monarch was silent, staring at the crazy old man for a long time, and then suddenly got up and walked to the offering table, standing under the spirit card of the ancestors of the Shelter Hall, and slowly straightened his body.
The crazy old man also walked behind him, and he didn't say a word.
In the darkness, the invisible majesty slowly emanated from those shadows, like deep traces that could not be erased by time.
A trace of respect flashed in the eyes of the greedy wolf star, he picked up three fine incense sticks from the offering table, walked to the candle and lit them, held them solemnly with both hands, bowed three times respectfully to the ancestral tablet, and then stepped forward and inserted the fine incense into the incense burner.
The faint light smoke floated up from the incense burner and dispersed in the air, making the spiritual positions in front of them even more hazy, vaguely like a pair of eyes, looking coldly at the two old men and the world.
"Burning incense in the middle of the night, are you afraid that the ancestor will blame you for doing something wrong, or do you repent of the evil deeds you have done?" asked the mad old man lightly, his tone was flat, as if he was saying something that had nothing to do with him.
The Greedy Wolf Star Monarch didn't look back at him, his eyes had been staring at the majestic spiritual positions behind the light smoke, and after a while, he said slowly: "You say, in the future, after you and I pass away, what kind of mood will the descendants of the Shelter Hall worship us?"
The crazy old man snorted and said, "Is there still a descendant in the Shelter Palace?" Even if there is, the old man is naturally full of reverence, as for you, will anyone still remember?"
Greedy Wolf Xingjun didn't care about the old man's slightly sarcastic words, just smiled faintly. Then, he said quietly, "Isn't it also for the sake of my reputation as the Shelter of the Wind, that I did such a deed of the gods in Dusk City?"
The crazy old man frowned, and said, "What's the use of such a false name as fame? In the old man's memory, this is not your character. ”
Greedy Wolf Xingjun looked at the old man for a moment, suddenly laughed, and then sighed: "You and I have been friends for hundreds of years, and sure enough, you are the only one who knows me best. ”
The crazy old man shook his head and said, "The old man knows who you are, if this is the case, the old man will not let you arbitrarily order the slaughter of millions of innocent people in Dusk City." ”
After a sudden pause, he continued: "And you want to marry the daughter of the absolute god, do you know that the girl is the only apprentice of the old man, who is only twelve years old, and if you want to marry her, don't you care what the world thinks of you?
Greedy Wolf Xingjun seems to be particularly tolerant of the crazy old man, he contradicted it several times, but Greedy Wolf Xingjun didn't care, but his voice was a little solemn, and he said slowly: "I have made up my mind, you don't want to stop this matter, in order to revive the reputation of my Shelter Palace, I can ignore anything!"
The crazy old man's expression suddenly froze, his brows were deeply locked, he looked at the greedy wolf star monarch deeply, and looked at the greedy wolf star monarch calmly, and after a long time, he said slowly: "Have you thought about getting married?"
Greedy Wolf Xingjun nodded slowly, and said: "But I decided so arbitrarily to marry the daughter of the absolute god, I am afraid that a few old guys from the Qiankun Hall of Wufeng Mountain will not agree, and they will definitely make some moves, but there has been no change in the past few days, what do you think?"
The old man smiled coldly, turned to face those ancestor spirit positions, and said for a while: "It's not that you haven't seen the methods of those old guys, you should know it in your heart." ”
After a pause, his voice suddenly softened a little, and there seemed to be a hint of helplessness in it, and he said, "You can do it yourself." ”
The greedy wolf star monarch was silent, and after a while, he also raised his head, looking at the deep dark shadow, the silent majesty, and seemed to sneer silently in the darkness.
At this moment, in the middle of the stone house, in front of the spiritual platform where the ancestors of countless sheltered halls are enshrined, the lights and incense candles are lit and flickered, and the faces of the two people illuminated are also gloomy.
The crazy old man walked to the front of the altar again, picked up a brand-new incense candle from the incense table in front of the altar, lit it on another incense candle, replaced the incense candle next to it that was about to burn out, and said lightly: "Greedy wolf, it is no longer the era of you and me, just like this burned out incense candle, it will eventually be replaced by a new incense candle, our era has ended, all these efforts you have made are just opening the way for the upcoming new era!"
Greedy Wolf Xingjun silently watched his slow and skillful movements, and suddenly said: "It was I who blessed you back then, so that you have the cultivation and status you have today, don't you appreciate that I have changed, but you still want to ridicule me?"
The mad old man didn't speak, but took a step back, and was in the shadows, still holding the broken candle he had just replaced.
He raised his head and looked upward, the spiritual seat of the ancestors of the Shelter Hall stood majestically in front of him, sacred and solemn, like a mountain, as if he could easily overwhelm a small person.
He was silent, didn't speak, just stared.
Behind him, the greedy wolf star monarch couldn't see the crazy old man's eyes at this moment, but he saw that the scorching candle oil dripping from the broken candle fell on the dry palm of the hand, drop by drop, and then slowly solidified.
The palm of the hand also seemed to be trembling slightly.
In the depths of the shadows, far away, there seemed to be a faint sigh......
