This incident was undoubtedly unexpected by Wei Changtian.
But if you think about it carefully, it makes sense.
After leaving the sect to gain experience, he spent several decades growing up, transforming from a middle-aged man into an old man over one hundred and thirty years old.
Wei Changtian didn't know how Lao Zhangtou could live for such a long time after his realm dropped to the ninth level.
But no matter what the reason is, it seems that the latter's life is coming to an end.
Perhaps Lao Zhangtou has already had this understanding, so he wants to go back and see the place where he grew up in the last moments of his life.
Therefore, Wei Changtian didn't say much, but asked calmly after a long silence.
"When do you plan to leave?"
"I'll leave after I teach you the art of escape."
Lao Zhang curled his head and said, "In about two or three days."
"..."
The red clouds outside the window are like a furnace of molten steel flowing to the sky, like blood and fire.
Wei Changtian glanced at the sloppy old man in front of him, sighed softly and asked, "What about Agou? Do you want to go back with you?"
"She's just a girl, forget it."
Waving his hand, Lao Zhangtou looked a little reluctant: "I originally planned to wait until she got married before going back, but I'm afraid I won't be able to see her now."
"So... you don't plan to come back?"
Wei Changtian sat down slowly: "How far is the White Palace from Daning?"
"How far......"
Lao Zhangtou thought about it for a long time, then shook his head with a wry smile: "I can't remember clearly, but even if I travel non-stop, it will take at least a year to get there."
It would take a year to keep traveling.
That's almost hundreds of thousands of miles.
Wei Changtian estimated the distance in his mind and didn't speak again for a long time.
It wasn't that he couldn't bear to leave Lao Zhangtou, but he wasn't completely indifferent to his departure either.
The two met by chance, and what happened after that can be described as "a strange combination of circumstances."
There is a small chess stall with "Renju", the heroic words "I once killed Yama with one sword", the weird and powerful sword technique of raising the moon, and the embarrassing story about Zhang Benchu...
Through various coincidences, I somehow got a cheap master, somehow learned an evil swordsmanship, and somehow witnessed the ups and downs of a top swordsman master.
But now when this old man who has been wandering outside for most of his life is also "inexplicably" preparing to leave and wants to return to his hometown to spend the rest of his life, perhaps all Wei Changtian can do is say goodbye peacefully.
"Master..."
Smiling and turning his head, Wei Changtian deliberately put on an expression of "risking one's life to accompany a gentleman."
"Tonight I will take you to the best brothel in Shuzhou City. You can have as many girls as you like."
"Master and apprentice, let's have a good night together. It can be regarded as my last filial piety as an apprentice. How about it?"
"..."
Shaking his head, Lao Zhangtou no longer showed the same wretched and prude look as before.
He just stood up slowly, like an old tree that was about to wither, put his hands behind his back, and walked outside the house facing the sunset.
"Didn't you just say that I am already old as a teacher?"
"well."
"old......"
...
...
That night.
Xiaoqingshan.
After all, Lao Zhangtou refused Wei Changtian's "kind invitation" and locked himself in his room after dinner not knowing what he was doing.
Wei Changtian couldn't force him to go to the brothel, so in the end he had to rush to Xiaoqingshan at night, ready to kill the monsters that had been accumulated here for half a year.
According to the previous agreement with Qingxian, one every three days, and as of today, fifty-two have been saved.
These monsters were not just kidnapped by Qingxian. They were basically ferocious beasts that were still far away from their transformation, and most of them had violated the rules of the monster clan such as "eating their own kind".
In other words, it can be understood as the "death prisoner" among the "monster clan".
"Sir, some monster beasts are quite profound, so each one is kept separately..."
In a hidden cave, Zhang San received a large set of keys from a Freemason: "Fifty-two of them are still alive, and the deeper the cell, the higher the level of the demonic beasts imprisoned in it."
.”
"There are always people in the Freemasonry here to guard the feeding. There has never been any trouble in the past six months, and it has not been noticed by others."
"Miss Liu Shi was taking care of things here before. This time Miss Liu Shi wants to enter the Shiwan Mountain, so she handed over this important task to the villain..."
"..."
After walking some distance along the dark and damp stone path, Wei Changtian soon saw a series of closed iron doors.
This scene couldn't help but remind him of the prison of the Xuanjing Division and the heavenly prison of the Dafeng Punishment Department.
It's just that the people locked up here are not prisoners, but ferocious beasts with at least thirty years of experience.
"Okay, I get it."
Taking a bunch of keys from Zhang San, Wei Changtian stood still in front of the first cell door.
"Are there many brothers in the cave? Let them all get out."
"......yes."
Zhang San was stunned for a moment, but immediately conveyed the order truthfully.
The Freemasons in the cave immediately left, and in less than a moment of burning incense, they were all out of the cave.
"Son..."
After confirming that there was no one in the cave, Zhang San turned around and was about to say something, but was directly interrupted by Wei Changtian:
"You can also go outside and wait for me."
"this......"
Zhang San hesitated and advised: "Sir, I'd better stay here."
"No need, there are just a few dozen monsters, there won't be any surprises."
Wei Changtian shook his head: "Go out and remember to close the cave door."
"..."
"yes."
Like Chu Xianping, Zhang San rarely raised objections when Wei Changtian had already decided on something.
So he quickly turned around and left the cave, and at the same time turned the mechanism at the entrance of the cave.
"Boom!"
Behind him, the heavy stone door slowly closed, and the huge movement immediately caused a fierce roar to be heard from each cell.
The torch inserted diagonally on the wall was not very bright, and could only cast a hazy red light in the long stone path.
"call......"
With a gentle inhalation, a long string of copper keys clattered to the ground.
Wei Changtian did not choose the safest approach of opening the cell doors one by one and killing them one by one.
Ever since his fight with the fat third-grade shopkeeper at Longmen Inn, he hadn't had a serious fight for a long time.
At first glance, this should sound like a good thing, after all, no fighting means no danger.
But at this moment, Wei Changtian suddenly had the urge to "go on a killing spree".
This may be because after the brutal destruction of Yuanzhou City, he needed to release the emotions he had suppressed for too long.
It may also be that the upcoming war has brought too much invisible pressure to him.
Or maybe it's just that he's a little depressed because too many people have left recently...
First it was Qin Zhengqiu, then You Jia, and then Lao Zhangtou.
Unlike Chu Xianping and others who were temporarily out on business, these three people may never see them again in this life.
well......
Sighing neither lightly nor heavily, long knives poured out of the star scabbard.
"Whoosh! Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
Fifty-two long knives flew forward with excitement, and after a few breaths, they hovered above the heavy locks of the fifty-two cells.
Then......
"clang!"
"Clang clang clang clang!!"
At a certain moment, the long sword slashed downward at the same time, and all the heavy locks immediately fell to the ground.
"bring it on."
Looking at the slowly opening prison doors and the red or green fierce lights hidden in the doorways, Wei Changtian slowly took a step forward and walked deeper into the cave step by step.
And as countless sword lights passed by his side, there were countless roars and roars exploding in his ears.
"Boom! Boom! Boom..."
One sword can cut off all things, one sword can solve a thousand sorrows.
Tears of rouge leave people drunk, how long will it last?
