In the dark and deep corridor, it was dark and damp, and there was a cold and cold atmosphere blowing towards my face.
When Zuo Qiujun's figure appeared in front of the corridor, a shrill noise suddenly sounded from all directions in the dark corridor.
"Haha, you treacherous son! You and Zuoqiu Feng are the eternal sinners of the Zuoqiu family! You will never die a good death forever!"
"Master Kong, please let me go. I was wrong. I was really wrong. I don't want to stay here anymore. I don't want to."
"For killing your clan members and seeking power to usurp the throne, you two, father and son, will eventually suffer retribution!"
There were curses, pleadings, vicious curses, and crazy and sharp cries, all intertwined together, like walking into hell.
Regarding all this, Zuo Qiu ignored him. He was dressed in snow-white clothes and walked slowly and slowly in the deep and seemingly endless corridor, with a look of calm between his brows.
This is the Iris Prison. During these endless years, countless prisoners have been imprisoned, including sinners within the clan and enemies of hostile forces.
This was not the first time for Zuo Qiukong to come here, and he was already used to it. The abuses, cries, curses, and beggings naturally did not cause any fluctuation in his mood.
I don't know how long it took, but the noise around him gradually became fainter. At this time, Zuo Qiukong had reached the end of the corridor.
At the end of the corridor is a rusty bronze door, which seems to have been sealed for a long time and has not been opened. The cracks in the door have been corroded by the dank illusion and are almost invisible.
"In a blink of an eye, it has been hundreds of years since I last came..."
Zuo Qiukong stared at the bronze for a long time, finally smiled softly, raised his hand and pushed towards the door.
Rumble~
With a dull friction sound, the bronze door that had been covered with dust for a long time opened. Then, a ray of soft light shone from inside the door, cutting through the darkness and shining on Zuo Qiukong.
Zuo Qiukong narrowed his eyes slightly, took a deep breath, and walked in casually.
…
Inside the bronze gate, it is like a fairyland, with a clear blue sky, floating white clouds, dotted with green mountains, green water flowing, and lush vegetation, just like a quiet and refined splash-ink landscape painting.
The only shortcoming may be that there is a lack of spirituality among the green mountains and green waters. This is also because there is no trace of fairy spirit in this world.
With a rumble, the bronze door closed, and Zuo Qiukong's eyes instantly locked in front of a stone house in the distance.
The stone house was low and simple, located on the bank of a stream. There was a small courtyard surrounded by fences. Some green vegetables were planted in the courtyard. From a distance, it looked like a small farmyard in the world.
At this time, there was a woman in plain clothes sitting at a stone table in front of the courtyard, her graceful back facing Zuo Qiukong.
Seeing this silhouette, Zuo Qiukong's eyes showed a complex look, which seemed to be hatred, pity, sympathy, and so on.
Shaking his head, he went straight to the stone house and entered the small fenced courtyard. Only then did he realize that her appearance had actually aged a lot over the past few hundred years.
The originally waterfall-like black hair, the beautiful and clear face, and the delicate and moist skin seemed to have lost some of their spirituality and vitality at this moment, and a few crow's feet appeared in the corners of the eyes.
She is still beautiful, but she has gained an air of erosion from time.
She is, of course, Zuo Qiu Xue, a direct descendant of the Zuo Qiu clan, the daughter of a genius who almost caused the Zuo Qiu clan to split hundreds of years ago.
"Sister-in-law."
When Zuo Qiukong opened his mouth, he looked very calm, so no emotion could be heard.
"sit."
Zuo Qiu Xue didn't even raise her head, and gave a casual order. She was holding a bone needle and was sewing a black boot that was about to be completed. Her fingers were very nimble and her movements were skillful.
But when it fell into Zuo Qiukong's eyes, he was slightly startled, as if he didn't expect that Zuo Qiuxue would do such ordinary and trivial things, even a little ridiculous.
But he didn't smile, his expression remained calm, and he sat directly on the side of the stone table.
"This seems to be worn by men?"
Zuo Qiukong glanced at the black boots and said thoughtfully.
Zuo Qiuxue pursed her lips and smiled, but did not answer. Her eyebrows were serious, and she looked very focused and delicate, just like an ordinary woman with ingenuity that is common in the world.
"I came here this time because I have a happy event to tell my sister-in-law."
Seeing that Zuo Qiuxue had been concentrating on mending her boots, Zuo Qiukong waited for a long time, and finally took the initiative to speak, without hiding anything, and said bluntly, "My cousin has come to the fairy world."
Zuo Qiuxue was startled, and then whispered: "I knew he would come."
As she spoke, she was still mending the boot, her movements delicate and smooth, not affected by anything, just as her mood was so calm at the moment.
Seeing Zuo Qiuxue's reaction, Zuo Qiukong was also startled. Then he smiled and sighed, "My cousin is amazing. I am as amazing as you, sister-in-law. Even I didn't expect that he could achieve this in such a short period of time."
He entered Daohuang Academy and won the supreme honor of being the first among freshmen."
Speaking of this, he glanced at Zuo Qiuxue from the corner of his eye, and saw that his expression was as calm as ever, without even a single ripple.
This made him frown and said, "Doesn't my sister-in-law not care about him?"
This time, Zuo Qiu Xue finally put down his movements, raised his head, smoothed his black hair from his forehead, and said with a smile: "He is my Zuo Qiu Xue's son, so he is naturally great. Is this strange?"
Hearing this answer and looking at Zuo Qiu Xue's calm and calm smile, Zuo Qiu Kong felt a sense of frustration in his head for no reason.
Immediately, he regained his composure and said with a hearty smile: "Yes, he has the blood of the Zuoqiu family after all. It is normal for him to perform so well."
"Don't forget, his surname is Chen. He is the son of Chen Lingjun and I. He has nothing to do with your Zuoqiu family. From the beginning of his practice to the time he came to the immortal world, he has not eaten a grain of rice from your Zuoqiu family.
, I didn’t take anything from you Zuoqiu family, so what does it have to do with you?”
Zuo Qiuxue chuckled and shook his head. Even if he was correcting the other party's mistakes, it was in a calm tone.
This made Zuo Qiukong frown, and the smile on his face was suddenly washed away, and he became calm, saying: "In any case, in our opinion, Zuo Qiukong, he should not have been born in the world after all."
After a pause, there was a touch of determination in his voice, "I came here this time, on the one hand, I want to share this good news with you, my sister-in-law, and on the other hand, I also want to tell you that the next time I come, I'm afraid it will be with you.
You have shared bad news."
Zuo Qiuxue was silent, completely stopped moving, raised her head, looked at Zuo Qiukong's face, and sighed: "My child, you are still too young. In fact... you shouldn't have come this time."
"Oh? Why, please give me some advice, sister-in-law." Zuo Qiukong's eyebrows furrowed even more, and he didn't like being called that by Zuo Qiuxue.
"It's very simple. Your arrival allowed me to guess three things. First, it not only made me know that Xi'er is still alive, but also living well."
"Second, his current performance in the fairy world has obviously caused you a lot of trouble, or frustration. This should be caused by your repeated failures in targeting him."
"Third, you came to me. Naturally, you didn't come here specifically to praise your cousin. You probably wanted me to get all this, and then disturb my state of mind with this matter. The more panicked I became, the more you
The happier I am, because only in this way can Xi'er know how miserable and desperate my situation is."
Zuo Qiuxue said slowly and lightly, with the luster of wisdom shining between her smooth brows.
Speaking of this, she looked at Zuo Qiukong and said: "I guess you may have a treasure like a mirage jade slip on you, and have already recorded everything that happened between you and me. In doing so,
Presumably it’s also to be able to blackmail Xi’er when dealing with him, right?”
Listening to this methodical analysis, Zuo Qiukong's expression remained motionless, but his right hand in his sleeve was quietly clenched, and there was a fleeting feeling of fear in his heart.
"No wonder, my father often said that my sister-in-law is a genius, as wise as the sea, and nothing can be hidden from your eyes."
After a long time, Zuo Qiukong suddenly spoke with emotion.
"Kong'er, stop hiding your emotions. It's just that I exposed your thoughts. There's nothing to be angry about. What's more, I watched you grow up. When it comes to hypocrisy, you are still far inferior to your father.
At least he can deceive me back then, but you are still a little behind."
Zuo Qiuxue smiled softly, with the tone of an elder giving guidance to a junior.
Zuo Qiukong stared at Zuo Qiuxue blankly, and suddenly had the urge to leave immediately, because he was worried that if he said one more word, the other party would see through all his thoughts.
This feeling made him extremely uncomfortable. It was not a competition in terms of strength, but a competition between humanity, wisdom, and the city.
Obviously, he has been in a passive situation since he opened his mouth.
"Sister-in-law, aren't you worried that I came here specifically to kill you?"
Suddenly, Zuo Qiukong raised his head and looked directly at Zuo Qiuxue, his expression calm and extremely serious, making people unable to believe that he was joking.
Regarding this, Zuo Qiuxue's expression finally changed, but it was not panic or uneasiness, but a kind of sympathy and pity from the heart.
"Being young is not scary. What's scary is that you are still unwilling to admit it."
Zuo Qiuxue sighed: "This sentence alone reveals that you have no idea what the consequences of killing me will be. It is precisely because you don't know that you dare not do it."
"Kid, remember, when you want to kill an opponent who you are not sure of the consequences of, it is best to get the information first, otherwise, you will look particularly childish when you open your mouth."
Having said this, she withdrew her gaze, picked up the bone needle again, and began to sew the black boot again, but she said slowly: "In short, you are still too young. If you want to take charge of the Zuoqiu clan, you can only rely on what you are doing now."
If you have some ability, I'm afraid you will be like me back then, and someone else will usurp your throne and seek power."
