Upon seeing this, Patriarch Haotian snatched the sword from Xia Nuo's hand with a wave of his hand: "What are you doing?"
Xia Shuning was so frightened that she quickly threw herself on her mother's body and burst into tears.
Xia Nuo slowly pushed her away and said with sincerity: "I have never told you in detail about your life experience. He is indeed your father, but I would rather that this is not true. Now that you know, the choice is yours."
, I will definitely not go back to Haotian Pavilion with him!"
After saying that, he turned his head and looked at Patriarch Haotian fiercely, his eyes glowing red, and his fierce gaze was intimidating.
Xia Shuning didn't have time to react. She couldn't make a choice. She didn't know the reason at all. She looked at Patriarch Haotian and her mother in confusion, not knowing how to answer.
But Patriarch Haotian lowered his head silently and said in a low voice: "The matter between your mother and me has nothing to do with you. Do you still remember the conditions I told you just now?"
"The reason why your mother was able to wake up was because I used Haotian Pavilion's trick. If it hadn't been like this, your mother probably wouldn't have been able to wake up for a while. You'd better advise your mother not to follow
I'm against it, if you don't join Haotian Pavilion and rely on the Qi cultivator's skills, you will probably become a useless person due to the blending of the two Qi!"
"A useless person?"
Xia Shuning was startled and took half a step back, looking at her mother with cold hands. When Xia Nuo heard what Patriarch Haotian said, his heart froze and he immediately grabbed Patriarch Haotian's collar and roared: "You!
What on earth did you do to me!"
Patriarch Haotian didn't want to give any more explanation, but just said a few words: "Your injury was caused by me, Haotian Pavilion. Even the masters of the academy may not be able to cure you. Only the people of Haotian Pavilion can save you, let alone
You have been sleeping for many days. If you didn't use Haotian Pavilion's unique tricks, do you think you can still stand up and see your daughter now?"
Then, he unbuttoned his single shirt, opened his chest and said to her: "I have become as old as I am now at such a young age. These scars on my body are what I did to recreate Haotian Pavilion.
All this is to get rid of the injustice in the Qi Cultivation Continent. Don’t you understand me? The people I have killed over the years are all people who deserve to be killed. The families I have slaughtered are all traitors who have brought harm to the world. The Imperial City does not understand
I, Qi cultivators don’t understand me, Master doesn’t understand me, why don’t you understand me!”
Xia Nuo looked at Patriarch Haotian's chest and the scars of varying depths, and his scalp suddenly went numb. Then when he looked at his haggard and old face, he couldn't help but fell silent.
But Xia Shuning didn't react at all. She was still thinking about the fact that Patriarch Haotian was his biological father, unable to extricate herself. She couldn't believe that this big devil was actually her father, and she didn't expect that the mother she had admired for so long could actually
There is also this unbearable past.
Ancestor Haotian put on his clothes again, turned around and walked to the door of the central hall. He looked at the mess in the house and was silent for a long time.
"Ziqi, I know that you, like other Qi cultivators, are blinded by many things; but what I want to tell you is that the reason why I want to replace Emperor Shang's rule is because I know some things that the world cannot know.
It's because I accidentally discovered some secrets about Emperor Shang. As for what they are, I can't say yet."
"If Xiuqi Continent continues as it did decades ago, I will not re-establish a sect to fight against it. There are many reasons for this. You two, mother and daughter, must believe me!"
Patriarch Haotian said a lot, but Xia Nuo didn't listen to anything. All she knew was that the man in front of her was a traitor in the world, and he was the target of all the sects to kill each other. She didn't listen to him.
He waved his hands in anger: "Stop talking, I don't care about what you said at all. Now that you appear in front of me, I will vent my anger on everyone and kill you on the spot to relieve the hatred in my heart!"
Ancestor Haotian shook his head and his face was dull. He looked at the woman in front of him and sighed: "In that case, you can kill me if you want. If doing so can redeem my mistakes back then, I will die by your side willingly."
Under the sword!"
After that, he handed her the long sword he had just snatched and closed his eyes, looking very at ease.
Xia Nuo picked up the sword and looked at him again, focusing his fierce eyes on him again, and then he picked up the sword and was about to stab him.
Although Xia Shuning couldn't believe it and didn't want to believe that Patriarch Haotian was her father, she couldn't let her mother hurt him, so she hurriedly flew over and pushed Xia Nuo straight away.
He hurriedly helped her up: "Mom! You really want to do this! Haotian Pavilion is so powerful, and there is death mist following it. Such an impulse will definitely lead to death, so please think twice before you act!"
Xia Nuo was so pounced by her daughter and heard her explanation. She sneered and said: "Ning'er, don't say that. Do you really think I will believe what you say? Ever since you were a child, you have been ignorant.
As a worldly person, why are you worried that the people in Haotian Pavilion will wait for an opportunity to retaliate? I think you just can’t let go of this father, this father whose hands are stained with the blood of Qi cultivators!"
Xia Nuo was already in a semi-crazy state at this moment. He wanted to stab everything he saw with his sword and kept roaring. Seeing this, Xia Shuning didn't know what to do and kept shouting: "Mother! Mother! Don't do this, don't do it."
so!"
Ancestor Haotian couldn't bear to look directly at him, and then hit Xia Nuo on the back of the neck with his palm, causing him to fall to the ground and fainted.
Xia Shuning's face turned pale with fright. She knelt on the ground and looked at her mother and closed her eyes again. She stood up in anger and looked at Patriarch Haotian fiercely: "What on earth are you doing? I'm already trying to persuade you.
She is no longer killing you, you!"
Ancestor Haotian put his hands in front of his eyes and kept shaking them: "Daughter! You misunderstood, I just made her faint temporarily, and she will wake up in a few hours. Do you want to see her continue to go crazy?
?That will only make her more painful, why not let her sleep quietly for a while..."
After hearing this, Xia Shuning slowly squatted down, touched her mother's forehead, wiped the sweat from her forehead and said softly: "Mom! I'm sorry, I hope you don't blame me."
After that, she stood up and said to Patriarch Haotian: "I hope you can keep your word. Now my mother and I have no place to live. If it is true as you said, I am your daughter, I
I hope you can teach me the skills of Haotian Pavilion as soon as possible, I don’t want to be a useless person anymore, let alone be a burden to some people!”
Ancestor Haotian nodded and said with a smile: "This is my good daughter, she should have this kind of ambition, okay! Then come with me!"
Having said that, Patriarch Haotian didn't know what technique he used. With a wave of his cloak, the three of them disappeared.
At the same time, in Xihuan, Zhou Tian and Ye Shen had already begun planning for their trip to the ghost market.
Ye Shen and Zhou Tian walked in the city of Demon and muttered: "Back then, you were supposed to answer that Wang Xiaoshi and hand over the beads within three days, but now you have wasted nearly a day on the city lord and her daughter. In these three days,
How can we do it?”
Zhou Tian looked at the residents in the city, his eyes twitching constantly. After hearing Ye Shen's complaints, he said softly: "The ghost market in this city must be very dangerous. The city lord said that when it is absolutely necessary, the token
You can save our lives. We will enter the ghost market later. Don’t say anything. Let’s get the beads as quickly as possible and leave immediately!”
Ye Shen listened to what Zhou Tian said, curled his lips, looked at the getting darker sky above and said: "Huh, what you said means you didn't say it. Who doesn't know that the ghost market is dangerous? I've been in Xihuan for so long
Jiu, not more familiar than you?"
"There are not only weird treasures in the ghost market, but also many people with superb skills to guard them. Otherwise, why do you think the ghost market is safe and sound for so long?"
As Ye Shen spoke, he stared at the distance not far ahead: "Hey, we're just ahead!"
Zhou Tian quickened his pace in the direction of his finger.
"Who is coming!"
Although this ghost market does not look very conspicuous, it is completely dark when looking from the outside in. Not only can no candlelight be seen, there is no trace of popularity.
This strong man is wearing silver armor, which looks very scary.
"We are going to the ghost market, why? Are we still not allowed in?"
Ye Shen said boldly, but he didn't expect that the strong man actually picked up a long knife as tall as a person and stood in front of them: "Do you know the rules of the ghost market? Are you from outside? Look at the starry sky and there is not even moonlight.
I have seen that the ghost market will not be opened. If you want to enter the ghost market, wait until the moonlight first appears before you come!"
Zhou Tian raised his head and looked at the starry sky. Although it was evening now, normally there was still a slight crescent moon. Why was it so strange today that not even the slightest shadow of the crescent moon could be seen.
"Is it possible that if it rains tomorrow, the moon won't appear tonight? So far away..."
Ye Shen murmured in a low voice, but Zhou Tian did not give up and turned around and asked: "Excuse me, when will the moonlight be available?"
The strong man thought for a moment, then looked up again, touched his cheek and said: "The moonlight is coming, usually we only have to wait for another hour or two, but if the moonlight never appears, then we have to wait until tomorrow.
"
After hearing this, Ye Shen angrily picked up the weapon behind him and stepped forward to argue. He kept spitting out the fragrance: "You stupid guy, do you know how much effort we have put into this ghost market?"
I just rushed here and you actually said you can’t do it today, you!”
Seeing this, Zhou Tian blocked Ye Shen behind him, turned around and said, "He already said, let's wait for an hour or two. If there is really no moonlight, it won't be too late to think of other ways then."
.”
So, Zhou Tian and Ye Shen sat next to the strong man, and they looked up at the starry sky, waiting for the moon to appear.
Seeing them sitting at his feet, the strong man felt very awkward. He frowned and lowered his head and said: "You two have been guarding the outskirts of the ghost market for so long. This is the first time I have seen so many interesting things in this demon city."
If you want to wait for the ghost market to open, you can go shopping elsewhere first. It’s really disgusting to curl up here.”
The strong man had a look of disgust on his face, and the words he said made people angry. Ye Shen couldn't bear it anymore. He stood up with a whoosh and yelled angrily: "You said wait, so we will wait. But you are disgusted by waiting here, and you still can't bear it."
It’s really difficult…”
As soon as Ye Shen finished speaking, he saw two young people walking behind him. They went in without saying anything. After seeing this, Ye Shen became even more angry. He stood in front of the strong man with his hands on his hips: "What did that mean just now? Why did they
You can enter at will without looking at the moonlight, but we can't!"
After the strong man moved Ye Shen away with his thick hands, he glanced at it and said: "The rules of the ghost market are that it is best to be open to the common people in the city, but to outsiders, they must wait for the moonlight to enter, otherwise they will not be allowed to enter.
talk!"
Not long after, many people walked in in front of them. Zhou Tian looked at it with confusion, and slowly stood up and came to the strong man, and poked his head inside. This ghost market should have opened.
.
Zhou Tian raised his head and glanced at the night sky, and then looked at a place a few meters away from him. The scene in the two skies was completely different. He smiled unconsciously: "I knew there was a problem a long time ago, but I didn't expect the problem to appear here."
!”
Ye Shen looked at Zhou Tian impatiently and asked eagerly: "What else did you find?"
Zhou Tian took a few steps forward, and then took off the strong man's armor. At this moment, infinite stars and bright moonlight suddenly appeared above them.
Ye Shen was shocked: "This! This..."
The strong man took off his armor so casually and wanted to compete with Zhou Tian, but Zhou Tian punched him on the bridge of his nose, and a stream of red blood flowed down the corner of the strong man's eyes.
"you!"
Zhou Tian said with disdain: "You still want to play tricks in front of me with the help of the light-shielding scales on the armor to block the refracting surface of the starry sky and moonlight. Do you really think that I will be deceived?"
"I didn't notice it at first, but even though it's autumn in August, the armor is really suspicious. In addition, you haven't moved a step since the two of us came here. Now think about it, if you move a step, the moonlight will
Will show up!"
After hearing this, Ye Shen nodded and suddenly became enlightened: "Oh! It's actually like this. This ghost market is really full of tricks. If it hadn't been discovered early, I might not have been able to enter!"
The strong man covered his face and shouted angrily: "How dare you injure the guardian of the ghost market? The city lord will not let you off lightly!"
Zhou Tian ignored him and didn't want to waste any more words with him. He walked in quickly, but Ye Shen took out the token given to them by the city lord and said coldly and disdainfully: "City lord? Humph, you can find it anytime.
We have the token in hand, why are we afraid that you, the villain, will file a complaint first?"
Then he strode in quickly.
He patted Zhou Tian on the shoulder and asked: "I didn't expect you know so much, I really admire you!"
Zhou Tian laughed casually and said: "This is also luck. I just suspected that there was something wrong with his armor, but I didn't expect that it turned out like this after taking it off."
While the two were chatting and joking, they walked into the ghost market.
Although this ghost market looks extremely dark and damp, Zhou Tian's eyes were opened as soon as he entered. The two sides of this ghost market were filled with goods and stalls, and the things placed on each stall were things he had never seen before.
It was very strange.
What's more, there are actually people selling the dishes and chopsticks that Master once used. Seeing this, Zhou Tian burst out laughing and said, "I didn't expect that Master's daily necessities are also sold here."
Ye Shen hurriedly whispered: "You don't know how important Master is in the entire continent of Xiuqi. Not only are the things he used copied and sold, but they are also sold very well..."
