The heavy rain was still falling, wetting the hair and clothes of the visitor.
The strong wind blew and raised a petal, and the solitary petal fluttered randomly in the air with the strong wind.
The wind stopped and the rain calmed down, and the petals fell freely... It floated and floated until a rough palm caught it, and the petals stopped flying.
Zhe Helan looked at the bright petals in her palm, feeling a little pity in her heart. But looking around, he was surprised that even in the Mid-Autumn Festival, all the flowers were withered, and the flowers around the humble room were still blooming so prosperously——
Who is so ingenious that he can cultivate these flowers so long and prosperous? With such achievements, even he, who has been dealing with flowers and plants all his life, feels a little ashamed. If there is a chance, he will definitely discuss the relationship between flowers and plants with this person. road.
"What? Are you scared?"
Seeing that the old flower farmer was standing outside the door of this small thatched cottage that countless people in the world had been fascinated by for a long time, but refused to go in, the master of the pavilion asked, but she changed from her usual 'weakness', and now her voice was extremely cold. , which is very different from the usual charming and charming posture.
"Afraid?"
Zhehelan raised his head and looked at this ordinary-looking thatched house in confusion. The other reason is not that he is afraid of stepping into this thatched house. He has no fear at this point. It is largely up to him whether he will live or die. He was just attracted by the flowers planted by Zichun and was lost in thought for a while.
"go in."
Zhe Helan reluctantly looked away from the flowers and plants. He did not want to argue too much, so he raised his steps and walked towards the shabby room.
Seeing this, the master of the pavilion also followed the pace of the old flower farmer without hesitation.
In this way, the three most powerful top masters in the Central Plains finally gathered together in this small thatched house.
The door of the humble room was ajar, as if waiting for visitors.
Zhe Helan did not hesitate. Now that he had made his choice, he had to go on without hesitation. He pushed open the damp wooden door and stepped into the thatched house first. But when he entered the house, the tall figure that appeared in front of him shocked him beyond measure - —
The tall figure from twenty-five years ago appeared in front of me again!
The unattainable mountain was standing in front of him intact at this moment!
It seems that at this moment, the feeling that was out of reach for him twenty years ago came back to his heart...
Could it be that he had discovered through the carefully planned plan that he had joined forces with several powerful parties? Do you really want to be left here...? Haha... A gentleman is a gentleman after all... Even if he pays attention to the poison, he will not be able to trap him...
How did the old man in front of him crack such a subtle game? Besides, Young Master Wen He had quietly visited the compound yesterday. Ye Changshan did show signs of blood transfusion after being poisoned. Why could he...
Zhe Helan frowned and thought, but then he suddenly straightened his back and faced the old man by the window——
Huh, even if he is a mountain or a deep sea, today I will give him a try when I team up with the woman next to me! Will two Tianshu realm masters be afraid of a dying old man if they join forces? Zhe Helan also doesn't believe in the so-called 'Supreme', nor does he believe in this evil in his heart——
Although the old man is standing there, it doesn't mean that he really has the strength to stand!
Looking at the old man's back, Zhe Helan felt extremely calm.
At this moment, the whole world seemed to be quiet. The sound of rain outside the house, the woman following behind, and the noise caused by the fight between Jianye Shi and Ji Yang in the distance seemed to disappear without a trace at this moment.
The old man put his hands behind his hands and looked out the window, enjoying the rare tranquility extremely and completely ignoring Zhehelan who was standing behind him.
This silence lasted for a moment, and in this moment, the unforgettable memories of the past twenty-five years once again appeared in Zhe Helan's mind——
That night, he and Han Dan tried their best to surround the madman, but the madman was really too terrifying. In the madman's hands, the giant sword was as agile and swift as a light bamboo stick. When he came and went, only the blade was invisible. Sword shadow. But what is surprising is that every time the giant sword slashes at the guards who are surrounding him, it is like a huge boulder, instantly turning those guards into a bloody mess. Some are cut off at the waist, some have broken limbs, and some have broken limbs. His head was chopped off... The pungent smell of blood and the tragic Shura field deeply stimulated Zhe Helan's vision and brain. Although the madman in front of him was surrounded, the giant sword made him and Han Dan cannot get closer than half a point. The breath of heaven and earth in the madman's body seemed to be inexhaustible. If it continued to be consumed like this, he and Han Dan would be the first to fall. In the end, he chose to use his body as bait to lure the madman to stab him with his sword. Own. But he could never imagine that the power of that sword would be so devastating. Even today, he has been in the Tianshu realm for many years. When he recalls that sword, he still has lingering fear and his mind goes blank... .
Zhehelan slowly closed her eyes and took a deep breath, feeling a cold feeling on her back and chest. Then, he opened his eyes and asked slowly: "There is something I have always wanted to ask about the old flower farmer, and I would like to ask sir to enlighten me..."
The old man did not look back, but nodded slightly in response.
Zhehelan took a deep breath, and then finally asked the question that had been hidden in her heart for many years——
"That sword back then...why did you save me?"
"Enough people died that night..."
"Since you want to save me, why do you leave half an inch of sword intention behind?"
The old man moved slightly, but did not turn around.
"Is it because... you chose me?" Seeing that the old man did not answer her, Zhe Helan asked.
"Yes...and no..." The old man struggled for a moment and finally decided to give his answer.
"Please enlighten me!"
There was a sigh from the old man's mouth, and he said: "I really didn't expect you to cross that hurdle and enter the Tianshu realm."
Zhe Helan was startled, with countless thoughts in his mind - indeed, in those days when he was fighting to the death with the King of Hell, he almost gave up several times. Although he came to that hurdle several times when he was wandering on the edge of life and death, but at that time How had he ever thought about trying to cross that hurdle? Faced with the hurdle within reach, he chose to give up without hesitation, because he only had one thought in his mind - to survive.
"You...really exceeded my expectations." The old man said bluntly.
After receiving the affirmation of the old man in front of her, Zhe Helan suddenly felt that everything was worth it, even if she had to be completely left here today. He continued to ask: "Why me? Not Han Dan?"
"Because it was you who was stabbed with that sword." The old man answered him simply and clearly.
"I don't believe it!" Zhe Helan shook his head in denial, and continued to argue: "I was 'given' a sword by you, and I was able to enter the Tianshu realm. Sister Wei Liang was punched by you, and I was able to enter the Tianshu realm. Realm, Hua Fasha was kicked by you, and also entered the Tianshu realm... The strong Tianshu in the world all thank you for your gift. That night Bo Qingbo stabbed me with his sword, and Han Dan stabbed him with his sword. , you can give him this 'opportunity' when you lose Han Dan's sword power, but in the end...you chose me..."
The old man didn't speak, as if he was acquiescing to this statement.
"Why?"
Zhe Helan asked, the desireless state of mind that she had cultivated for many years seemed to have become persistent again at this moment, and she would not give up until the reason was asked.
The old man chuckled and said slowly: "You are more suitable than Han Dan..."
"What's more appropriate!?"
Zhe Helan suddenly became a little excited. Although he had been stoic these years, he would be extremely persistent every time he thought about this issue. Although the final fact was that he was the one who became the Grand Master of Tianshu, he still wanted to get it from the old man's mouth. Got a positive answer.
"What do you think?"
The old man's words suddenly became frivolous and no longer as serious as before. He turned around slowly, and a familiar side face appeared in front of Ori Helan——
This face almost carries the nightmare that Zhe Helan has experienced in her life. Although the night at midnight was dark, when the sword stabbed Zhe Helan, the numb and crazy face against the sword light made Zhe Helan Lan felt 'fear' and 'despair' for the first time in his life!
Yes, the madman's figure is almost the same as that of the old man, and I have only met the old man once, okay! After all, the old man hid that lunatic to protect his calf, just to wait for me to take the bait here today! ?
The 'madman' no longer had the 'crazy energy' of the past, and his hair has turned gray now, just like that old man. When he looked at Zhe Helan, his eyes were particularly peaceful. It was completely different from the determination in his eyes when he drew his sword, but the same was the confidence in his eyes - even when facing Zhe Helan in the Tianshu realm, he still Be fearless.
Zhe Helan's body froze, and large beads of sweat seeped out from her temples and forehead. Unknowingly, her front and back were wet. His legs were even a little uncontrollable, bending slightly unconsciously. It took a lot of effort for him to keep his body from falling backwards. He tremblingly raised his right hand and pointed at the 'madman', his mouth opened in horror, but he could not utter a single word.
'Madman' seemed to be very interested in seeing Zhehelan's embarrassed look. He stared at Zhehelan slowly approaching him step by step. 'Crazy' is tall and Zhehelan is short. The scene at this time is like a tall tiger approaching its prey step by step. The tiger licks its tongue from time to time. It walks calmly and majesticly, and stares at its prey. It doesn't need any roar or any movements to scare the prey into motionlessness.
As for being targeted?
It looked at the tiger getting closer and closer to itself. He almost huddled up and trembled. He had long forgotten that he was also a strong bull. At this moment, he was still the calf injured by the tiger. Every time the tiger came closer to him, he would be trembling. The pain you endure becomes clearer!
Zhe Helan's heart was beating violently, and his feet were already trembling.
'Boom——'
Zhehelan was so frightened that she sat down on the ground. Her panicked limbs tried their best to drag her body backwards. How could there be any trace of the demeanor of the former Tianshu Grand Master?
"Don't come here - don't come here -"
Zhe Helan screamed in panic, but no matter how much he screamed, the 'madman' remained unmoved and continued to walk towards him step by step.
Zhehelan kept crawling backwards, and suddenly, his back leaned against a wall. He touched the wall with his hand desperately, knowing that he had no way out. His eyes were wide open, full of fear, and his face, body, and arms were pressed against the wall. In his opinion, as long as he could stay away from this 'madman', even the slightest distance would be fine. The 'madman' still didn't stop approaching. The despair and fear that he felt twenty-five years ago crept into his heart again and dominated his consciousness. The feeling he felt today was even more intense than that night twenty-five years ago. strong!
