“Offering incense in the ht, is there any difficult problems?” The oldabout so to do with himself
Reverend DaoXuan did not look back at hinified tablets behind the faint smoke, a moment later, he slowly said, “Say, after we have passed on, when the later generations offer sacrifices to us, what kind of feelings will they be having?”
The old runted, said, “For you, naturally it will be full of reverence, as for me, will anyone still remember me?”
Reverend DaoXuan did not take offence on the elderly’s slightly sarcastic words,only faintly smiled Then he quietly said, “Now that the catastrophe is before us, the world is plunged intofrom the rampant actions of the evil beastsWhen I think of the inevitable war between Qing Yun and the evil beast, and the world’s fate is at risk, all of these heavy responsibilities on my shoulder, I have not slept well for many days”
The old ht? This is not like you”
Reverend DaoXuan looked at the old hed, “You and I our hundreds of years of friendshi+p, it is only you who know me best”
The old man shook his head and said, “I know you? If so, I will not be here guarding the ancestral hall Alright, let’s not talk superfluous words, what exactly are you trying to say?”
Reverend DaoXuan seemed to be particularly tolerant of the elderly man, he retorted several tihtly solemn, he slowly said, ”I have already decided, the ireat, for the survival of the common people, I want to remove the Heaven Secret Seals of the sevenYun”
That olddeeply, looked intently at DaoXuan, DaoXuan looked frankly back at hi time later, the old ht over it carefully?”
DaoXuan slowly nodded and said, “But today when I secretly informed the other six leaders, Tian BuYi requested someone to convey soy backlash”
The old man smiled coldly, turned to face those ancestral tablets, after a long while, said, “It’s not like you have not entered Illusory Moon Cave before, what is inside, you know if yourself” His voice suddenly turned gentler, also with a trace of helplessness, said, “Look out for yourself!”
Reverend DaoXuan did not speak, athe shadows in the darkness, that silent dignity, see silently in the dark

And in the hubbard of the crowds, HeYang City was the most chaotic, the streets were full of people, the city's inns were long full, the incoees could only sleep in the open Under such circuht, fortunately the city was beside the river, they did not have to worry about the water supply
Actually under such chaotic situation, it would be difficult to ensure that there would not be looting and s and the fact was, from time to time there was really such news, the previous day who and who had disappeared and today so city was after all at the foot of Qing Yun Hill, Qing Yun Hill had also made some early preparations, dispatched a considerable nueneral those nuees in this catastrophe, were still safe
But, following the ru worse and worse with each day, who could predict what to City’s atmosphere became more and more uneasy
And also in such circuether with his granddaughter, Xiao Huan, and Wild Dog Taoist, ca in the streets which used to be spacious, right now they could only see dense population of hu, it was crowded to the point where it was hard to even walk, Wild Dog Taoist was still alright but Zhou YiXian and Xiao Huan was dumbfounded
Relying on Wild Dog Taoist’s sturdy body and fierce looking face, he opened the way for theer ones who saw Wild Dog Taoist’s face when they turned around,Zhou YiXian and Xiao Huan followed Wild Dog closely,the way and finally passed through this street, into another small alley on the west side of the city
The three walked on, although the secluded alley right noas also full of people but co street outside, here could said to be spacious Zhou YiXian cursed softly, looked extreet it that I this old man have to run forfor their lives, in the endfor my life and so on
The alley was very long, twisted and turned, lesser and lesser people headed in, after walking about an hour, the three of theees in this area, the reason was very si at this sue derelict courtyard, even half of its wooden door had fell to the ground, the other half , not sure if it was taken by people for firewood
Zhou YiXian looked at this hed, Xiao Huan stood beside him, whispered, said, “Grandfather'
'
Wild Dog was puzzled but he came froue, feeling slightly bewildered that Zhou YiXian and Xiao Huan would come to this place
Zhou YiXian after a long while, said, Let’s go in! Anyway, this place should be relatively quiet”
When he finished, he first went inside, Xiao Huan and Wild Dog followed behind They saw in the srasses bleak and desolated, re disorderly everywhere, there were solimmered Xiao Huan looked pale and could not help but pulled Zhou YiXian’s clothes
Zhou YiXian turned and looked at her, quietly reassured her, “It’s not the first time here, what are you afraid of, besides here is where your father lives, will he harm us?”
Xiao Huan nodded, her face looking better, Wild Dog Taoist frowning at the back but did not say anything
Ahead of the courtyard was the door to the ue, Zhou YiXian went up and saw the door was covered with dust, just how long did no one coh and opened the door
[Zhi ya] the wooden door made a harsh sound, slowly retreated inside, a ht, three coffins were lying disorderly but the coffins’ covers had already dropped to the side
The years of desolation, as if in this small room, slowly emitted out Zhou YiXian’sthose coffins, he walked straight to the offering table, looked at the spiritual tablets that were lying disorderly
The room was quiet, it seemed that no one dared to speak Zhou YiXian slowly stretched his hand out, picked up the tablets and sloiped the thick layer of dust, placed it beside and then found another one, and so on, when he cleared the seventh spiritual tablets, saw that the tablet read
[Tablet of Beloved Son of Zhou Xing Yun]
Zhou YiXian stopped, silently looked at the tablet, after gazing for a long time, Xiao Huan sloalked over, saw the tablet in his hand, teared and quietly said, “Grandfather, keep father’s spiritual tablet properly away!”
Zhou YiXian heaved a long sigh, his face looked desolate, nodded his head Xiao Huan took the tablet from his hands, carefully placed it on the table and then stepped back, placed her hands together, respectfully bowed to the tablet, quietly said, “Father, I have coain to visit you, these few years thanks to your blessing, although grandfather and I roaood Today we came back to clean you up properly, hope you will not blame us”
She then respectfully bowed three times
Wild Dog Taoist watched from the back, suddenly came to the front and also bowed three times to the tablet, Zhou YiXian and Xiao Huan were instead shocked, Xiao Huan exclaimed, “Priest, why did you…”
Wild Dog Taoist did not look at Zhou YiXian’s strange expression, said, “Since he is your father, he is also ht to“
Xiao Huan then felt relieved, nodded and said, “Then I thank you” She turned to the tablet and said, “Father, this is Wild Dog Taoist, he is a good randfather and me”
Zhou YiXian snorted, said, “Is he considered a good person, [snort snort], harbouring evil intentions…”
Wild Dog Taoist’s expression froze but Xiao Huan had already glared at Zhou YiXian, said, “Grandfather, how can you talk nonsense”
Zhou YiXian rolled up his eyes, turned around to look elsewhere, Wild Dog Taoist gratefully looked at Xiao Huan and was about to speak when suddenly his body stiffened and he abruptly turned around, Xiao Huan and Zhou YiXian see, almost at the same time looked towards the entrance
In the desolate quiet ue, at the entrance, suddenly a man in black appeared, even his face was also veiled in black, an unexplainable weirdness The aht noith the appearance of the man, suddenly sank into a even deathly silence
