Chapter 785: The setting sun and the withered trees test people’s hearts
?Sighing at the setting sun?
The north wind blows cold and the setting sun falls, and the years pass by like a young man;
The withered tree recalls the past, and separation is just a dream.
Three people were standing next to the thousand-year-old tree outside Ouyang Villa, quietly looking at Ouyang Villa under the setting sun.
The leader was Ouyang Zhengxiong, with Yanxue standing behind him, and to the back of him stood a man in a blood-red robe with all kinds of strange patterns on the surface. His face was still hidden in the blood-red hat.
"Senior, we have known each other for more than 30 years. Logically, I should call you Master!"
Ouyang Zhengxiong looked at the setting sun, tears seeming in his eyes.
"Master Ouyang is praising me. How can a dying man be qualified to be a teacher?"
The man in the blood-stained robe sounded a little breathless.
"The person who knows me best in this world is probably Senior, so let's not beat around the bush. Ouyang Villa will probably be destroyed tomorrow. I want to know why Senior has devoted himself to the Ouyang family for decades. What do you want?"
Ouyang Zhengxiong spoke very casually and his tone was very calm, but it gave people a very eerie feeling!
The old man in the blood-stained robe pondered for a long time. He probably didn't expect Ouyang Zhengxiong to confront him at this time, and so directly, which really surprised him.
"Senior, you have something on your mind. Let me start for you. The bottom of the Sword Pond Prison, the Eye of the Vast Sea!"
The old man in the blood-stained robe seemed to move a little, but it was not known whether it was caused by the wind.
"It turns out that Patriarch Ouyang has never really let down his guard against me. I admire the Patriarch's strong mind and perseverance!"
After the blood-robed old man finished speaking, he bowed and continued:
"I have absolutely no ill will towards the Ouyang family. I went to the bottom of the Sword Pond Prison to find Hao Hai!"
Ouyang Zhengxiong shook his head and said with some disappointment:
"Senior, it's already this late, why don't you explain it clearly? I don't want to see you become the first soul to die under the Half-Emperor's Sword!"
Ouyang Zhengxiong did not use any internal energy!
The old man in the blood-red robe was in deep thought again. After a long while, he said softly:
"What is sealed in the vast sea is a Heavenly Ghost Grass. I hope that Patriarch Ouyang can help me get it!"
Ouyang Zhengxiong frowned slightly when he heard this, he didn't know what Tianyoucao was!
The Tianyou clan had been wiped out a thousand years ago, so Ouyang Zhengxiong certainly didn't know that.
"Did Ji Qingfeng know your intentions back then?"
Upon hearing this, the blood-robed old man took two steps back and said in shock:
"You, how do you know?"
"This is the northwest of Yingzhou. The Ouyang family has been entrenched here for hundreds of years. Your people should have been wiped out by Ji Qingfeng in the vast desert back then, right?"
Ouyang Zhengxiong actually knew that the person behind him had some plan, but he had endured it for more than 30 years. Ouyang Zhengxiong had rescued the blood-robed old man at the edge of the vast desert.
The blood-robed old man calmed himself down and whispered:
"I really underestimated you. I always thought you were my chess piece. It turns out that you have always been the one holding the chess pieces. I will do my best to help you quell the rebellion of Jianying, but I need the Tianyou Grass. As for the other things in the vast sea, I am not interested!"
"Hmph, I'm not interested in Haohai. Senior, you will be in charge of Ouyang Villa tomorrow. If you can help me eliminate those who are trying to take advantage of the situation, I might help you open the Eye of Haohai!"
"I will definitely do my best!"
The old man in the blood-stained robe bowed and left.
Ouyang Zhengxiong murmured to himself:
"Ancient Miao Territory, Tianyou Grass, Ji Family, since the Ji Family wants to stop it, I am really curious, Ji Qingli, can you stop it? Compared with you and Ji Qingfeng, who is stronger?"
Ouyang Zhengxiong didn't pay attention to Haohai from beginning to end, until he found that the old man in the blood-red robe had secretly sneaked into the bottom of the sword pool prison. This shocked him and at the same time he became interested!
Ouyang Zhengxiong has decided to lead the people of the Ouyang family to the south wall of the Sword Welcoming Holy City tomorrow to erect a statue and welcome the Holy Sword. Ouyang Villa will be handed over to the blood-robed old man, and of course all the Netherworld Blood Guards.
He doesn't care about victory or defeat, as long as people die. What Ouyang Zhengxiong needs is the blood of all those who died in Ouyang Villa, because his Half-Emperor Sword is under Ouyang Villa, and the Half-Emperor Sword still needs the nourishment of blood!
If everything was calm in Jianying City, Ouyang Zhengxiong might show the Sword of Half-Emperor to the people of the world, but accidents happened in Lingyun Mountain, Xuankong Mountain and Jianying Tower, so Ouyang Zhengxiong had to make other plans.
Tomorrow Ouyang Zhengxiong will only go to the south wall of the holy city with the Bloodthirsty Mother Sword, and what he asked the Painting Saint to carve is also the Bloodthirsty Mother Sword!
Ouyang Zhengxiong quietly looked at Ouyang Villa under the setting sun, and he finally shed two lines of tears! He was not for Ouyang Villa, not for the Ouyang family, but only for his brother, the real Ouyang Zhengxiong, and Ouyang Zhiqing!
"Brother, Zhiqing, you really should go back to Ouyang Villa first. This is our home. The symbolic places of the Ouyang family are disappearing one by one. Now only Ouyang Villa is left. Ouyang Villa may not exist tomorrow. The next one should be Jianying Holy City, right?"
Ouyang Zhengxiong took a deep breath!
"Brother, Zhiqing, I don't regret it at all. Compared with the Ji family, the Ouyang family was at a disadvantage in this game. It's normal for us to lose, but I still have half a chess piece that can turn the tide!"
Ouyang Zhengxiong let his tears fall and drift with the wind. He retreated step by step, waiting for the moment of his counterattack. He waited for decades. Who knew the pain in his heart?
Ouyang Zhiqing was trapped in the Begonia Courtyard for twenty years, Xue Ji was trapped in stupidity for twenty years, and Ouyang Zhengxiong was trapped in his own heart for twenty years. The three of them were all lonely!
But Ouyang Zhengxiong seemed to be in greater pain, because he was in the mortal world. The pain of separation of body and mind had tortured him for twenty years. Sometimes Ouyang Zhengxiong actually hoped that the Ouyang family would be destroyed. He was tired, really tired, very tired. Everything was weighing on him, and the feeling of suffocation really made him despair!
Ouyang Zhengxiong survived, and he was grateful to two people, one was the Nightmare Blood behind him, and the other was Ouyang Zhiqing in his heart. The Nightmare Blood allowed him to vent all the resentment in his heart, and Ouyang Zhiqing allowed him to enjoy all the beautiful yearnings for the future!
This is another kind of separation. Who can understand this kind of pain?
Ouyang Zhengxiong turned around and patted the thousand-year-old rotten tree, whispering:
"Hundreds of years ago, the Ouyang family built the four welcoming pavilions in the east, west, south and north for this ancient tree. The four welcoming pavilions gathered the essence of heaven and earth to nourish the ancient tree. Who would have thought that it did not change the ending. The thousand-year-old tree died, and the lineage of the Ouyang family was about to end. But I am not willing to accept it! Why should the Ouyang family end in my hands? I don't accept it! My brother and I have been thinking about how to save the ancient tree and the fate of the Ouyang family since we were young. It's just that my step is a little bigger than his. He shouldn't hate me!"
Ouyang Zhengxiong should have been talking to Yanxue, but unfortunately Yanxue didn't react at all.
"How I wish you were still sober. Although you resented me at that time, I could hear your truest voice. Now you don't resist or speak anymore. I really don't like it!"
Ouyang Zhengxiong stroked Yanxue's face. He was smiling, a wicked smile!
"Do you know? Yuyao Tower was destroyed. The Ouyang family fought against it for hundreds of years and it was finally destroyed. But how long can Jianying Holy City belong to the Ouyang family?"
Ouyang Zhengxiong turned around and looked towards Ouyang Villa in the twilight; the sun had already set!
"Hongyan, I know you are awake, and I also know you are looking for an opportunity, an opportunity to kill with one strike!"
Yanxue didn't react at all, but she was shocked in her heart!
"I'm not a good person, but I used to be a good person. I just took the wrong path for love and went astray for hatred. I don't regret it, not at all. If I were given another chance to start over, I would still treat you the same way, but my heart would have changed. I would still love the one I love, but I would no longer ask for possession. I would still hate the one I hate, but I would no longer pretend to be a good person. It's too tiring!"
Ouyang Zhengxiong looked a little ferocious and a little lonely!
"What about you? Has your heart changed after you woke up? In fact, you shouldn't hate me so much. I'm very good to your son. I think you should try to understand me, so that you won't have new pain. Since the Half-Emperor Sword has given you a chance to live again, your heart should change. Don't have hatred, don't have grudges, and think about your son. Jinyu is a good child. He is the only hope I have left for the Ouyang family!"
Nightmare Blood remains unmoved!
Ouyang Zhengxiong smiled, turned around and looked at Yanxue, and said softly:
"This is the power of hatred. This power has kept me determined for decades. I have been tortured by this power and I am no longer human or ghost. What about you? Do you really not plan to start over? Do you really want to live in hatred? I have no relatives, but you still have them. Can you really let go of Jinyu?"
Yanxue acted as if he didn't hear anything and didn't move at all!
Ouyang Zhengxiong shook his head!
"The matter of Jian Ying is over. You can kill me at any time, but you must make a decision now. The Ji family has one most ruthless rule that they must execute every time they fight for the world, which is to root out the evil. They will not let Jin Yu go. Jin Yu is in Lingyun Mountain, and Ouyang Qingfang is protecting him, but I am worried that I don't have enough power. I am not worried about the Ji family, but Jingde. That child is full of hatred. After thinking about it, I decided to confront you and send someone else to protect Jin Yu. I am worried!"
After Ouyang Zhengxiong finished speaking, he turned around and looked at Ouyang Villa again, and Yanxue's heart was moved!
"Hongyan, make your own decision. I really want to die under your sword. It's been twenty years, and my heart seems to have really changed. There is even your shadow in Zhiqing's shadow. The human heart is really unpredictable. I don't even know when my heart changed!"
After Ouyang Zhengxiong finished speaking, he flew away.
Yanxue did not leave this time, but she really couldn't figure out where she had revealed her flaw, and she really couldn't let go of Jinyu, because that was her son!
"Ouyang Zhengyi, you really have a deep heart!"
Gongsun Hongyan couldn't figure it out, so she flew away directly, and of course she went to Lingyun Mountain. She wanted to protect her son Ouyang Jinyu! The head of the family, Ouyang Zhengxiong, had never hurt Ouyang Jinyu.
Not long after Gongsun Hongyan left, the head of the family, Ouyang Zhengxiong, unexpectedly came back and flew down to land next to a dead tree. Looking at the receding figure, he smiled. That smile was full of helplessness, happiness, regret, and too much. It was really complicated!
Gongsun Hongyan did not reveal any flaws. The reason why the head of the family, Ouyang Zhengxiong, knew about it was because someone told him that person, who claimed to be Qin Xiao King of the Burial God Palace.
Ouyang Zhengxiong did not know the black-clothed Qin Xiao King, and he had never known what the Burial God Palace was, but the information the Burial God Palace gave him was so accurate.
Ouyang Zhengxiong was really shocked!
Ouyang Zhengxiong was testing and verifying today. It was true that Ji Qingfeng killed the blood-robed old man from the ancient Miao domain, it was also true that the blood-robed old man had some plan, and it was also true that Gongsun Hongyan had woken up!
While Ouyang Zhengxiong was shocked, he also felt a sense of fear and sadness. What kind of organization is the Burial God Mansion? It is terrifying that they know so much about the Ouyang family!
With his cultivation level and intelligence, Yanxue, who follows him around all day, didn’t even know that he had woken up. How could the Burial God Palace know that?
Ouyang Zhengxiong just couldn't figure it out!
The fact is very simple, it originated from Ouyang Xiangzhi!
King Qin Xiao in black knows the secret of the Sword of Half-Emperor. Now that the Sword of Half-Emperor is complete, all restrictions related to the power of blood will be absorbed by the Sword of Half-Emperor. Therefore, King Qin Xiao believes that Nightmare Blood must be in a state of wakefulness!
As for Ji Qingfeng's matter, it was even simpler. Ouyang Xiangzhi saw it with his own eyes at the edge of the vast desert and told King Qin Xiao of the Burial God Palace!
The interesting thing is that these two secrets are related to Ouyang Zhengxiong’s great cause. King Qin Xiao found someone to replace the dead Ouyang Xiangzhi, and that was Ouyang Zhengxiong!
