Nightcrawler: 20 Years of Peaceful Demons

Chapter 515 Huo Jing He Returned From Hell

When I went to Tin Hau Temple on outlying islands again and met Jiang Miaozhu, a senior in Jianghu, the situation was different from before.

At the beginning, we ran away in a hurry, like mice, flustered, and always felt that the end of the world was coming in the next second, so we didn't have time to care too much, but at this moment, we seemed much calmer and more relaxed.

The reason for such a change is a manifestation of strength.

Now, even if the Huo family on Hong Kong Island is holding up a big stick again, and want to do something to us, they have to carefully consider the pros and cons.

Unknowingly, our status, in the midst of rapid strength growth, also began to gradually accumulate.

Of course, we are not yet strong enough, so when we go out, we have to go out and dress up, and we have to wear human skin masks.

But this is only temporary.

When I saw Jiang Miaozhu again, I found that his appearance began to grow old, whether it was in spirit or in other things, there were many changes, his hair was full of hair, and the wrinkles on his face were constantly accumulating together , People can't help but move and feel sad.

He moved two chairs over and asked us to sit down. He probably sensed the emotions in our hearts and grinned toothlessly, saying that people are born, old, sick and die.As an old man, I have experienced many years of ups and downs, and I am used to seeing things in the world, and finally the curtain has come to an end.I'm already very happy that you guys can come to see me—oh, watching you young people come out one by one, reminds me of the time when I was young and frivolous..."

While feeling emotional, he invited us to drink tea, with a kind smile on his face, like a kind grandfather.

But only a few people understand how strong this Miao Zhu's cultivation is.

However, no matter how strong a person is, there will be a moment of death after all.

In this world, no one knows what death is, whether the world after death is complete nothingness, or a different kind of life. That's why so many people pursue longevity. The most important thing is that they are afraid of eternal sleep. The coldness and emptiness of the underground.

No prince or general can escape such a vicious circle.

And this is also the reason why Ma Yi'ao's golden cicada physique is being chased crazily.

Because the legendary elixir of life is made of him.

We chatted with Jiang Miaozhu, about the past, about the current situation, and in the end, we talked about the Huo family on Hong Kong Island.

This Tianhou Temple is adjacent to the base camp of the Huo family, and there are many people in the Huo family who believe in Mazu, so naturally they also know some news about the Huo family. He told us that during the two years when Huo Jing disappeared, the Huo family The situation is not very good, because of the loss of the heir, there are many voices inside the Huo family, and the masters of the sect form cliques one after another. Whether it is the veteran faction or the new generation, they all split up, and some advocate welcome back. Eldest sons, some proposed to let several sons-in-law join the Huo family to inherit the family business, and some proposed to establish a "counselor" to confirm that Huo Jing's posthumous son, Huo Shentong, would be the head of the Huo family, and a group of elders would assist him. .

In short, if there is a dispute, there will be internal friction, and if there is internal friction, there will be damage. The Huo family, which was originally prosperous, has experienced several changes even under the support of Huo Yingxiong. lively.

However, no matter how many disputes there are, there will be an end after all.

Because Huo Erlang is back.

Regarding this matter, Jiang Miaozhu told us that Huo Erlang came back a month ago. At that time, the news was blocked, and few people knew about it. Until not long ago, he made frequent appearances several times, but the follow-up was also very hidden. Deep, basically won't come out and move around.

Obviously, this Huo Erlang is very different from the previous him after the great change happened.

But what it is, he doesn't know.

However, as an old acquaintance for many years, Jiang Miaozhu was also invited by the Huo family for this wedding. We asked him and learned that Jiang Miaozhu would also attend the wedding.

When people are old, they always like to watch some festive things.

After we sat for a while, we said goodbye and left.

Then we turned and walked towards a pavilion in the mountains.

As far as our relationship with the Huo family is concerned, we are basically hostile. Logically speaking, it is impossible to participate in this wedding, but it is Huo Jing who sent us the invitation letter, that is, the groom himself, so things are different Speaking of.

And when we came to the outlying islands this time, in addition to meeting Jiang Miaozhu, we also met Huo Erlang.

This was agreed upon in advance by both parties.

I am also looking forward to this meeting. After all, the biggest suspense left to me by this wedding is who the bride is.

If it's Qin Liluo, do I have to have a fucking "Great Sage Robbery"?

In this way, will readers call me a routine?
……

On the way to the mountains, Ma Yi'ao and I kept looking around and observing the surrounding situation.

After all, we haven't met Huo Erlang for a long time. I heard that he has changed a lot now, so does he still maintain the old friendship with us?

Will he blame us for not being strong enough to rescue him from the secret realm of Yujiang?

Or could he have been influenced by his own father and changed his attitude towards us?

These are all possible, so although Ma Yi'ao and I have some confidence, we still have to consider how to evacuate once a conflict arises.

The three armies have not moved, and the food and grass go first. The more cautious you are, the longer you will live.

The surrounding forest is deep and dense, and it is inexplicably a bit cold. When we arrived at the pavilion, we found that Huo Jing was already waiting for us there, and he was still alone.

The only thing that makes people doubtful is that this man is wearing a thick robe, which wraps himself tightly, and even his head is covered in the hood on a hot day.

At this moment, Huo Jing was wearing a robe that looked a bit like a Western missionary, which made people feel particularly wrong.

But when we appeared and came to the pavilion, he still took off the hood, smiled at us, and said, "Here we are."

When I saw Huo Erlang, who hadn't shown his face for a long time, I felt his face was a little stiff, which made the smile a little fake.

Moreover, his face was very white, as pale as snow, and his eyes were bloodshot.

He seemed very tired.

But from another angle, I can feel the suppressed but still surging aura of Huo Erlang, which is as vast as the sea.

During the period of separation, he has grown to an unattainable height.

However, why is this breath so familiar?
Huo Erlang stretched out his hand and shook hands with us.

His hand was very cold, like a piece of ice, but he just let go of it after touching us, and I didn't have much time to feel it carefully.

His handshake with Ma Yi'ao was also very short.

There are tables and chairs in the pavilion, and there is a whole set of tea sets on it. Before we came, the water had already boiled. Huo Erlang invited us to sit down, and then praised us for the craftsmanship of Kungfu tea, and then poured two cups of tea Put it in front of us, stretch out your hand and say, "Please."

I glanced at Ma Yi'ao, stretched out my hand, picked up the cup, and took a sip. I felt that the tea was fragrant and bright like blood, and it was indeed good.

I nodded in praise and said good tea.

Huo Jing said: "This is the Dahongpao of the mother tree of Wuyi Mountain. It grows in the Jiulong Cave of Tianxin Rock in Wuyi Mountain Scenic Area. The tree is about 350 years old. Now there are only six trees left, and it can only produce about one catty of tea per year. I'm a bit repulsed, the delicacies of mountains and seas are like chewing wax in my mouth, only this tea can make me feel the beauty of the world..."

Ma Yi'ao stretched out his hand, picked up the cup, took a sip, put it down, and said to him: "What happened that day? After Hou Mo and I got out of trouble, we looked for you everywhere, but we couldn't succeed..."

Huo Jing sighed, and then said: "This, oh, it's hard to say."

He didn't want to talk more about the events of the day, obviously there was something unspeakable, so we wisely didn't ask questions, but chatted about other things.

After saying a few words like this, I finally decided to get straight to the point and asked, "Brother Huo, although it's rather abrupt, I still want to know who your bride is."

Huo Jing glanced at me, couldn't help laughing, and said: "The last time I was engaged, you came to make trouble because the person you were engaged to was also the one you liked, but this time, I'm afraid you have no reason... "

When I heard this, I breathed a sigh of relief, and Ma Yi'ao asked, "Who the hell is it?"

Huo Jing said: "I told you that you don't know each other—her name is Kobe Yui."

I'm a little surprised, say Japanese?

Huo Jing nodded and said yes, the Japanese, my father helped me choose a wife. To be honest, I don’t know much about it, so I can’t tell you too much.

Ma Yi'ao was a little puzzled, saying that you don't mind marrying a woman you don't like?
Huo Jing said with a wry smile: "About the Huo family, you all know some news more or less. My father is dying, so what thoughts and wishes does he have? All I can do is to satisfy him as much as possible. It can be regarded as my way of showing filial piety."

Hearing this, I glanced at Ma Yi'ao, and the two of them were in tacit understanding and didn't say much.

In fact, according to Huo Jing's preferences, it doesn't matter what kind of woman he marries.

After all, he doesn't like women at all.

Huo Jing let out a long sigh, and said, "Perhaps you may be curious, where have I been during this time..."

I nodded and said yes.

Huo Jing raised his head, with a strange and weird smile on his face, and said to us: "If I say, I come from hell, would you believe it?"
