Chapter 401: Life is full of regrets and the water flows eastward
Old Zhang is leaving.
This incident was undoubtedly beyond Wei Changtian's expectations.
But if you think about it carefully, it makes sense.
He left the sect to gain experience and was gone for decades. He grew from a middle-aged man to an old man over 130 years old.
Wei Changtian didn't know how Old Zhang could live to such an old age after his realm fell to the ninth level.
But no matter what the reason was, it seemed that the latter's life was about to come to an end.
Perhaps Old Zhang has also realized this, so he wants to go back and visit the place where he grew up at the last moment of his life.
Therefore, Wei Changtian did not say much, but just asked calmly after a long silence.
"When do you plan to leave?"
"I will leave after I teach you the art of escape."
Old Zhang curled his lips and said, "About two or three days later."
“.”
The red glow outside the window is like a furnace of molten steel flowing to the sky, as red as blood and fire.
Wei Changtian glanced at the slovenly old man in front of him, sighed and asked, "What about Ah Gou? Does he want to go back with you?"
"She's just a girl, forget it."
Waving his hand, Old Zhang looked a little reluctant: "I had planned to wait until she got married before going back, but now I'm afraid I won't be able to see her anymore."
"So, you don't plan to come back?"
Wei Changtian sat down slowly: "How far is the White Palace from Daning?"
"How far."
Old Zhang pondered for a long time, then smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I can't remember clearly, but even if I travel non-stop, it will take at least a year to get there."
It will take a year to travel all the way.
That’s about hundreds of thousands of miles.
Wei Changtian estimated the distance in his mind and didn't speak for a long time.
It’s not that he was reluctant to part with Old Zhang, but he also didn’t completely care about his departure.
The two people's meeting was just a coincidence, and what happened afterwards can be described as "a coincidence."
The small chess stand with "Gobang", the bold words "I once killed Yama Luo with one sword", the strange and powerful Tiaoyue sword technique, and the sad story about Zhang Benchu Under various coincidences, I inexplicably got a cheap master, inexplicably learned a strange sword technique, and inexplicably witnessed the ups and downs of the life of a top swordsman.
And now, when this old man who has been wandering outside for most of his life is also "inexplicably" preparing to leave and wants to return to his hometown to spend the rest of his life, perhaps all Wei Changtian can do is to bid him farewell calmly.
"Master."
Turning his head with a smile, Wei Changtian deliberately put on an expression of "sacrificing one's life for a gentleman".
"Tonight I will take you to the best brothel in Shuzhou City. You can choose as many girls as you want."
"Let's spend a happy night together, and this will be my last chance to show my filial piety as a disciple. How do you think?"
“.”
Shaking his head, Old Zhang no longer showed his previous wretched and hypocritical look.
He just stood up slowly, like an old tree that was about to wither, put his hands behind his back, and walked out of the house facing the sunset.
"Didn't you just say that? The master is already old."
"well."
“Old”
That night.
Little Green Hill.
In the end, Old Zhang rejected Wei Changtian's "kind invitation" and after dinner he locked himself in the room doing something unknown.
But Wei Changtian couldn't force him to go to the brothel, so he had to rush to Xiaoqingshan under the cover of night and prepare to kill the monsters that had been accumulated there for half a year.
According to the previous agreement with Qingxian, one is collected every three days, and as of today, fifty-two have been collected.
These monsters were not randomly kidnapped by Qing Xian. Most of them were ferocious beasts that were still a long way from transforming into human form, and most of them had violated the monster clan's precepts such as "cannibalism".
In other words, it can be understood as a "death row prisoner" among the "demon race".
"Sir, some of the monsters are very powerful, so each one is held separately."
In a hidden cave, Zhang San received a bunch of keys from a Freemason. "All fifty-two are still alive. The deeper the cell, the more powerful the monsters imprisoned are."
"The Freemasons have always had someone here to watch over and feed the food. There has never been any trouble in the past six months, and no one has noticed it."
"Before, Miss Liu Shi was in charge of the affairs here. This time, Miss Liu Shi is going to enter the Shiwan Mountains, so she gave this important task to me."
“.”
After walking a distance along the dark and damp stone path, Wei Changtian soon saw a series of tightly closed iron doors.
This scene reminded him of the Xuan Jingsi Prison and the Tianlao of the Dafeng Ministry of Justice.
However, the prisoners here are not criminals, but ferocious beasts that have at least thirty years of cultivation.
"Okay, I understand."
Taking a bunch of keys from Zhang San, Wei Changtian stood in front of the first prison door.
"Are there still many brothers in the cave? Let them all go out."
".yes."
Zhang San was slightly stunned, but immediately conveyed the order truthfully.
The Freemasons in the cave left immediately and were out of the cave in less than an incense stick of time.
"Young Master."
After confirming that there was no one in the cave, Zhang San turned around and was about to say something, but was interrupted by Wei Changtian:
"You can wait for me outside too."
"this"
Zhang San hesitantly advised: "Sir, I'd better stay."
"No need, there are only a few dozen monsters, there won't be any accidents."
Wei Changtian shook his head: "Go out, and remember to close the cave door."
“.”
"yes."
Like Chu Xianping, Zhang San rarely raises objections when Wei Changtian has already made a decision.
So he quickly turned around and left the cave, turning the mechanism at the entrance.
“Boom!”
Behind him, the heavy stone door slowly closed, and the huge noise immediately caused a series of creepy and ferocious roars to be heard from all the cells.
The torches inserted diagonally into the wall were not very bright, and could only cast a dim red light in the long stone path.
"call"
With a gentle inhalation, a long string of copper keys fell to the ground with a clang.
Wei Changtian did not choose the safest approach of opening the prison doors one by one and then killing them one by one.
Ever since he had fought with the fat third-rank shopkeeper at the Longmen Inn, he hadn't had a serious fight for a long time.
At first glance, this seems to be a good thing, after all, no fighting means no danger.
But at this moment, Wei Changtian suddenly had an urge to "go on a killing spree".
This may be because after the tragic destruction of Wonju City, he needed to release the emotions that had been suppressed for too long.
It may also be that the upcoming war has brought him too much invisible pressure.
Or maybe he was just a little depressed because so many people had left recently. First it was Qin Zhengqiu, then You Jia, and then Old Zhang.
Unlike Chu Xianping and others who were temporarily out on business, these three people might never be seen again in this life.
Alas. He sighed lightly, and long swords came out one after another from the star scabbards.
“Swoosh! Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!”
Fifty-two long swords flew forward with a sharp sound, and after a few breaths, they hovered above the heavy locks of fifty-two cells one by one.
Then "clang!"
“Ding ding ding ding!!”
At a certain moment, the long swords slashed downwards at the same time, and all the heavy locks shattered and fell to the ground.
"bring it on."
Looking at the prison doors that were slowly opening and the pairs of red or green fierce eyes hidden behind the doors, Wei Changtian slowly took a step and walked deeper into the cave.
As countless sword beams swept past his side, countless roars and roars exploded in his ears.
"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!"
One knife can cut off all problems, one sword can solve all worries.
The rouge tears leave people drunk, when will they come again?
It is a pity that the water flows eastward all the time in life.
