Seeing Hong Nianke nodding in agreement, the old man nodded with satisfaction.
Hong Nianke looked at the old man and said softly: "What happened to the Wuzi Rebellion sixty years ago? Why do people still miss that incident after so long?"
The old man looked at Hong Nianke, then turned around and looked around, then put his index finger to his mouth and made a silencing gesture towards Hong Nianke.
Hong Nian was not stupid. He was considered a first-class figure among the eight lower sects. She naturally understood what the old man meant by "walls have ears."
So, Hong Nianke lowered her voice to the lowest level and murmured: "What do you want to tell me this time..."
The old man took two steps forward and said, "Come here!"
Upon hearing this, Hong Nianke hurriedly stood up and took a few steps towards the old man, putting his ear to the old man's mouth.
The old man covered his mouth with his hand and whispered something to Hong Nianke.
No one could hear what the old man said, but when Hong Nianke heard these words, his whole face suddenly changed, first turning white, then turning purple, and finally It turned into a deathly iron-gray color again.
What the old man wanted to say was not too long. In less than a minute, everything he wanted to say poured into Hong Nianke's ears.
After finishing speaking, the old man took out a small black cloth bag from his arms, held it in his hand, and then said: "This is roughly what happened... Next, I need you to help me with three things...!" Once these three things are done, even if I, the old man, am dead, I can finally close my eyes."
Perhaps what the old man said just now was too bizarre, and it took Hong Nianke a while to come back to his senses.
She didn't answer the old man's words. Maybe she didn't hear what the old man just said at this time. She just looked at the old man in front of her with good eyes.
It's just that at this time, Hong Nianke's eyes had long lost any awe before, replaced by doubts and confusion. It felt as if the person standing in front of her at this moment was not a living person, but a person. A monster, a monster from the deepest depths of hell.
Hong Nianke's reaction seemed to have been expected by the old man, so when he saw Hong Nianke's eyes, he didn't mind. Instead, he smiled slightly, and then said: "I mean, girl...I'll tell you Talk...did you hear me?"
The old man deliberately raised his tone, and at this moment Hong Nianke suddenly recovered from the shock. Perhaps realizing that he was rude, Hong Nianke blushed at first, then took two steps back and bowed to the old man. Said: "Master, uncle, I'm sorry, this junior Hong Nian is rude...!"
Seeing this, the old man frowned slightly and said, "You girl is really pedantic...even more pedantic than the two I met before! You were taught by the same damn person..."
After hearing what the old man said, Hong Nian was startled again. After all, she ran to the ghost market this time to find her two uncles.
When Hong Nianke met the old man for the first time in the ghost market underground palace, she had asked about it, but the old man was still unwilling to disclose it and kept saying that he had never seen it. But at this time, the old man in front of her suddenly changed his story. Having seen it himself, Hong Nian couldn't help but have a question mark in his heart.
Thinking of this, Hong Nianke asked tentatively: "Master, what do you mean by this, have you met my two uncles in that place before?"
The old man nodded and said, "Yes... I've seen it before!"
Hong Nianke asked: "But... when we were in the ghost market before, I asked you if you had seen my two uncles, but at that time you told me... you had never seen them before. Pass!"
Hearing this, the old man raised his eyelids and looked at Hong Nianke with his not-so-large eyes. After a while, he smiled slightly and said, "I didn't expect that you are such a young girl... You are very sick with suspicion! It's not like this." Well, at least with this cautious attitude, you won't do the split for me when I leave it to you...!"
Hong Nian did not answer the old man's words, but asked: "Uncle Master, what question am I asking you?"
Although Hong Nianke said this politely, her tone became very cold, as if every word was a knife.
The old man looked at Hong Nianke and smacked his teeth, and said calmly: "I understand what you think now, little girl, just like I did then... You doubt my origin now, then why can't I doubt you at that time?" where?"
Hong Nianke opened her mouth when she heard the words. She was about to say something, but was interrupted by the old man. The old man continued: "You have to know that I stayed in that dark place for sixty years. Suddenly one day, some juniors came out and told me that they were disciples of the Red Handkerchief Sect...Old man, I have never seen anything...Do you think I would believe those people easily...Do you believe me easily? If so. As you think, as long as you tell me the name of Red Handkerchief, I will tell you everything, and you don’t even think about it, old man, can I still live to this day?"
The old man's words were not long, but Hong Nian couldn't refute every word he said.
Perhaps aware of his abruptness, Hong Nianke said with a smile: "Uncle Master, don't be offended... I..."
Before Hong Nianke could finish her words, the old man interrupted her and said, "Okay! Old man, I don't have time to worry about these trivial things with a little girl like you! I have more important things to ask you now. Go do it!”
Hong Nianke heard this and said hurriedly: "Master-uncle asked me to do it, so I should try my best! But..."
The old man frowned slightly and said, "But what?"
Hong Nianke pointed to the room where she was and said, "But now I can't even get out of this small room, how can I do things for you?"
After hearing what Hong Nianke said, the old man said calmly: "You can rest assured about this. Since I can come out of such a place where birds don't poop, I will naturally have a way to get you out of here!"
"If that's the case, that's great!" Hong Nianke heard the words and said hurriedly: "If I can get out of here, I will try my best to do whatever you ask me to do! If I can't do it alone, I will give my entire Hong Nianke I don’t hesitate to use handkerchiefs..."
Hearing this, the old man waved his hand and said, "Girl, please listen to me. What I want you to do next, other than you and me, no third person can know about it. Do you understand?"
Hong Nian was stunned for a moment, but soon she said again: "I understand! I guarantee that no third person will know about what you told me, junior, today!"
