Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Path
Kuju Mountain Hejiazhuang
As the No. 1 weapon family in the Jiuzhong Mountain region, the He family has been responsible for the deployment of all weapons and equipment of the Jiuzhong Army for many years. Therefore, the He family is different from other families, and the core figures of their family all live in a secret place deep in the 100,000 mountains behind the Nine Mountains. And in order to ensure the safety of weapons, countless Nine Heavy Troops were arranged around Hejiazhuang to guard, and it was difficult for outsiders to enter this place.
At this time, the housekeeper of the He family was called He Ding. Among the past generations of stewards of the He family, he can be regarded as an unborn genius. After years of hard work, the power of the He family has continued to grow, reaching the apex of the He family in the Jiuju Mountain area in the past dynasties. The reserve of weapons and equipment has also increased at an alarming rate. The He family became one of the core forces that formed the Nine-Fold Army.
This day was the third week after He Xiong returned from the expedition, and because of the failure of the operation, He Xiong did not immediately meet He Ding after returning to Jiuzhongshan, but waited for the situation to calm down, and this wait was three weeks. On this day, after He Xiong came to the place where He Ding was, He Ding took him to the conference room of the He family and had a private conversation with him.
"Hehe, how do you feel about this expedition!" said a small, kind-eyed old man, "hehe!" said to He Xiong with a smile. This person is He Ding, the contemporary steward of the He family.
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry for the failure of this operation!" It seems that at this time, He Xiong has not yet come out of the shadow of the failure of the expedition. He Ding looked at He Ding with a blank face and said.
"I've heard a few about your operation, too. This failure is not your problem! This kind of operation is not very likely to succeed in the first place. Just come back safely. But you can't just be devastated by this failure!" He Ding was obviously not very satisfied with He Xiong's state in this matter, but he still said gently.
"The enemy I encountered this time was too strong! He Xiong said, leaning his head.
"What an accident! You would say something like that!" said He Ding's voice at the end, and suddenly became stern.
"I heard that you were the first to quit in the competition with Lin Ba and Xue Wuye. He Ding looked at He Xiong and said coldly. In the face of He Ding's words, He Xiong didn't dare to look up at him, and he couldn't even say a word against his head.
"Although your competition with Lin Ba and Xue Wuye is not an official competition. But it has already had an impact on the prestige of our family. He Ding continued.
"It's me who is useless! I failed to keep the glory of the family!" He Xiong knelt on the ground and said to He Ding.
"I didn't ask you to come here this time, I wanted you to be stronger. He Ding paused for a moment and continued. After speaking, He Ding took He Xiong to the secret room next to the conference room.
After entering this secret room that was closed on all sides, He Ding asked He Xiong, "Do you know how our He family's exercises are different from those of other families?"
Hearing this, He Xiong was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and said, "This! Our family's exercises are indeed different from those of other families. But I just can't tell what's different!"
He Xiong has always felt that the exercises of the He family are very different from those of other families. But I just can't find what the problem is.
"Does it feel out of place with other exercises?" He Ding continued.
Hearing He Ding's words, He Xiong hurriedly said, "Yes! That's what it feels like!"
"The exercises of other families are to improve one's own cultivation and improve one's strength by constantly cultivating one's own body. But our family's practice requires the creation of powerful weapons. The stronger the weapon, the stronger the power. But it's not easy to get a powerful weapon. Therefore, the children of our family can quickly improve their own strength through the help of weapons in the early stage of cultivation, but if they want to improve their strength in the later stage, it will be even more difficult. ”
At this time, He Ding's eyes were full of determination when he looked at He Xiong, and he continued: "You are not young now! ”
He Ding has always cared for He Xiong, although on the surface he did not show it. But in my heart, I love this honest, but not lacking clever He Xiong.
"Our family didn't forge these weapons for a living before. We are the descendants of wandering warlocks, that is, people who specialize in divining the future for people!" Hearing this, He Xiong was greatly surprised and said, "Wandering warlocks!"
"Oh, don't be surprised! Our family's divination method is very different from that of other diviners. It can be said to be unique, and it is by entering "Fantasy Road" to see things in the future and the past. It is also counted as seven or nine, so it is also famous in the divination world. But suddenly one day this "Illusion" changed, our ancestors could no longer see the future and the past through this "Illusion", and what surprised them even more was that they went to another world through "Illusion". It was there that we learned how to forge our family's weapons, and not only that, but we also found many other weapons there. It can be said that the so-called weapons created by our family do not belong to this world at all. In other words, our He family's exercises don't belong to this world at all!"
At this time, He Xiong, who was on the side, was dumbfounded, he couldn't imagine that there would be such a thing in this world. But He Xiong's surprise did not end like this, what He Ding said next. He was even more surprised.
He Ding continued: "In fact, there is one thing that has been unsettling our family ancestors over the years. Because in the year when "Phantom Dao" underwent a mutation, the mysterious rebel suddenly appeared in this world. Not only that, but whenever there is a strong person in the rebel race, "Fantasy Path" will undergo some subtle changes. And. At this time, we can all find powerful weapons in "Fantasy Road". It's as if someone deliberately arranged it. Maybe this is a coincidence, maybe this world secret may be in "Phantom Road". ”
After speaking, He Ding exhaled deeply, and there seemed to be many different feelings in this sigh.
"Do you want me to go to the Phantom Road and find out the secret of this rebel?" He Xiong calmed down and asked.
"No! I want you to go to Phantom to find a more powerful weapon. He Ding shook his head and said.
"Why don't we share this secret with the leaders and find a way to deal with the rebels as soon as possible? We're going to end this fight!" asked He Xiong, puzzled.
"The world has reached this point where it is beyond the control of all of us. Ending the fight is no longer an easy task. Even if we can find out the secrets of the rebels. There's not much we can do. And each family and sect has its own secrets to a greater or lesser extent. What we need to do now is not to find the secret of the rebels, but to strengthen our strength. The situation is not as simple as you think, and you will slowly grasp the power of the relationship in the future. He Ding looked at the high-spirited He Xiong in front of him and said lightly. He really hoped that He Xiong would understand his thoughts.
He Xiong was silent for a while and said, "What do you want to do!
"Okay! Tomorrow you will go with me to the world of "Illusion" to find more powerful weapons! Our family needs these weapons! This world maybe..."
After a pause, He Ding continued, "You can go back first today. Come to me tomorrow at this time. ”
After saying that, He Ding walked out of the secret room, and then He Xiong also walked out behind He Ding. (To be continued......)
