While he was i Xiao Huan to stand up, suddenly he heard that person spoke in a gentle and cal fortune?”
Zhou YiXian and Xiao Huan both stood up, raised their heads and saw ain front of them He had slender brows and a square-shaped face, a scholarly look with both eyes bright and piercing, his forehead was full and carried hi deht purple jade orna a faint auspicious aura, very beautiful and obviously not a common item
Just that the grey hairs at the side of his forehead looked inco him a few years older
Zhou YiXian’s expression suddenly became weird, he stared hard at this person, under his sleeve where nobody could see, both of his hands were tightly clenched into fists Only on his face, after the initial shock, an expression of agitation, relief and soh the adversities of life
Xiao Huan looked carefully at thatstrange with Zhou YiXian’s expression and was about to say soo aside, wait until grandfather calls you over”
Xiao Huan was surprised, this was so at Zhou YiXian’s sole and both of theed and turned back to pack her bundle and walked to the back
While walking, she frequently turned her head back to look and saw her grandfather and thateach other and seeh it was the first time she had seen that man but in that short period of ti of dread in her heart
Over the past ten over years, she was alith Zhou YiXian and yet never knew her grandfather actually knew such powerful person!
While she was thinking in a trance, she didn’t realize that she had walked quite a distance and suddenly a shadow appeared in front of her, she quickly stopped and almost knocked into that person She looked carefully and saw that it was Wild Dog Taoist, she quickly said, ”Sorry Priest”
Unexpectedly Wild Dog Taoist’s expression was also extremely weird, panic flashed on his face and his eyes were staring straight ahead, full of fear
Xiao Huan was surprised again, following his line of vision, it was that edTaoist this afraid?
Xiao HuanTaoist, ”Priest, who is that person, do you know him?”
Wild Dog Taoist got a shock and seeain his senses but the fear on his face did not fade, he looked at Xiao Huan beside him and stammered, ”You don’t know him?”
Xiao Huan nodded and said, ”Yes! This is the first tirandfather seeht, do you know him? Who is he?”
Wild Dog Taoist’s lipsbut he suddenly kept quiet and his eyes continued to stare straight at that e man in front
Xiao Huan frowned and felt there was soh there was fear but now there seeer too!
Zhou YiXian and thatby the ancient path, looking towards the wildlands
A light breeze blew over, the grey hairs at the sides of his forehead seemed to describe the years, the adversities of life
”We have not ed man suddenly indifferently said
Zhou YiXian looked far away, awhile he said, ”Souess!”
That man smiled faintly, said, ”Are you still well?”
Zhou YiXian was silent for a while and said, ”Wandering about the ends of the world, life’s a gaood or bad”
That man seemed to have some sentiments, turned and looked at Zhou YiXian, said, ”Do you still blame me?”
Zhou YiXian laughed bitterly, shook his head and said, ”It was not you who have let me dohy should I blame you?”
Thatin your situation is also not bad, letting go your heart, enjoying the world, come to think of it, it is also an immortal’s way of life, it also did not let the immortal character word in your name down”
Zhou YiXian looked at him and suddenly said, ”If you want to live my kind of life, what is so difficult about it, old friend?”
That man heard Zhou YiXian’s sudden mention of the word ‘old friend’ and was surprised but he smiled after that and looked far, he slowly said, ”I am not the same as you”
Zhou YiXian indifferently said, ”You are naturally not the sa you have thirst for power and until today, I guess you still cannot let it go”
That er seemed to flash past deep inside his eyes, it seemed like no one had ever dared to speak to him like that but when he turned to look at Zhou YiXian, he saw his hair had turned all turned white and looked even older than hier also dissipated
”Why do you look so old?”
Zhou YiXian shook his head and said, ”I aht should not…”He hesitated for a while but eventually said, ”Your daughter’s incident, I have heard, you…”
That guy’s expression turned downcast and shook his head, interrupted Zhou YiXian’s words and said, ”That ti, you had once under the Majestic Fox Mountain, used ‘The Big Dipper Divine Prediction’ to read my fortune, do you still remember?”
Zhou YiXian was stunned
That guy raised his head and looked at the sky, slowly said, ”I still reour and were frank to , you said the deathly aura inand it would curse my wife and children, if there was no way to resolve it, in my midlife I would definitely lose my wife and have no children Now it actually one after another caradually turned desolated
Zhou YiXian bowed his head, after a long while, he suddenly raised his head and deterraves, I too have words to be truthful to you”
That guy suspiciously said, ”Go ahead”
Zhou YiXian stared at him and said, ”At that time when I said those words, it was all totally nonsensical stuffs to bluff you Oldthings, hoould I have the patience to learn it As for that The Big Dipper Divine Prediction, naturally it revealed so but hoould I understand? So those words were just because you had such an arrogant face and I was feeling indignant so I deliberately said those words Don’t dwell on it in your heart already!”
That guy’s body shook, he never expected such words fro while, he suddenly shook his head and laughed loudly, his laughter rang loud and clear until he was bending over with laughter, where was the initial dignified demeanour?
Far away, Xiao Huan and Wild Dog Taoist both stared in shock
After a long while, that guy slowly stopped laughing and his expression gradually resuuish in his eyes seemed to increased
Zhou YiXian quietly looked at him
They stood side by side for another while, then Zhou YiXian indifferently said, ”Why did you come here?”
That guy looked at him and said, ”Don’t you always claim to be clever? What do you think?”
Zhou YiXian snorted and said, ”You plan to go to the death marsh?”
That guy leisurely said, ”That’s right, I ao take a look? Old friend?”
Zhou YiXian smirked and said, ”Your reputation is too bad, people will find it weird if I travel with you I better stay far from you”
That guy looked at Zhou YiXian, suddenly laughed in spite of himself and said, ”The ancient path to the end of the world, to be able to see an old friend it is also considered a rare affinity Today we ain, please take good care of yourself”
Zhou YiXian snorted and said, ”Old , instead it's you who have enemies more than the foxes on the Majestic Fox Mountain, better think for yourself!”
Xiao Huan stood beside the road and waited for a long ti over together and quickly went up to randfather’s side That edTaoist as behind
Wild Dog Taoist’s face changed and he slowly lowered his head
That man looked at hi Taoist who followed Ghost Li?”
The fear expression on Wild Dog Taoist’s face deepened, he hesitated for moment and in a low voice said, ”Yes”
Xiao Huan stood beside Zhou YiXian and could not help but quietly asked Zhou YiXian, ”Grandfather, who is he?”
Before Zhou YiXian could reply, that ed man seemed to be able to catch even this soft voice, turned and s lady don’t know me?”
Xiao Huan was shocked and shook her head in perplexity
That !”
Xiao Huan was stunned
Thathis sleeve, turned and strided, never turned back In his stride there was an air of disdain, gradually radiating
The people behind hi the ancient path towards the deathloudly, ”The road to the end of the world, has always been far The lovers’ thoughts, have always been foolish The tall sky and broad sea of eight thousands zhangs, all ht first hable all living things are like straw dogs, Laughing at all living things as straw dogs, who for the tricks that produce the rain and who for the clouds?”
[Translator’s note: (as researched online) The song has a s can only wait for death in face of natural calamities and nobody can play any tricks before disasters Straw dogs are offered as sacrifices to Gods or ancestors during ancient times and thrown after the ceremony]
The voice was crude, although not gentle or soothing to the ears but it had a feeling of force within the desolation of the singing They saw under the sky, on the ancient path, the free clouds and the lonely wildlands, thathis hands behind, walked, an indescribable stubborn and intractable disposition
The singing gradually faded, that person had already gone far away
