C268 Exit

When the man saw that I recognized him, he smiled wryly and walked out of the shadows.

I guessed right, this man is Uncle Tang.

My dagger never left him, and even though he was here, I could feel the pity in him.

I stared at Uncle Tang and asked, "What are you doing here?"

The Uncle Tang sighed and said, "I will wait for you here."

I spat out: "Don't lie to me, you are in cahoots with Guan Di."

The Uncle Tang shook his head and said bitterly: "Are we in the same group? It's just that I gave him the offerings and he protected me for a while. "

I saw that the Uncle Tang's expression was very sincere, as though something had happened after I entered the room. However, I didn't foolishly take the initiative to make friends with him and fall for his tricks.

I asked the Uncle Tang: "Did you cause the Regeneration of my foster-grandpa?"

The Uncle Tang replied: "When I got here, I saw your foster-grandpa's Regeneration. As you know, I am currently a dead man, and even though I have Hu Dali's flesh and blood, I am still dead. That's why I am able to communicate with the dead. I can see that on this Regeneration Body, there is still a bit of your foster-grandpa's soul. "

"This little bit of soul and you actually have a bit of a mortal relationship. This destiny is very small, only enough for you to look at each other. "So I told them to pick you up while you were still in the fog. You guys can't see each other, so you'll be able to stay together for a little longer."

I panicked. "Wait, we've seen each other, the Regeneration fell to the ground. How is his soul? "

Uncle Tang sighed: "That soul is too weak. It shouldn't be able to hold on for long, and now it has already been destroyed."

Uncle Tang said as he brought me into my house.

He was very familiar with the route, as if this wasn't my house, but his home. I saw that everything in the house was exactly the same as it was in reality.

Puzzled, I asked, "What's going on? It's fine if there's a Hu Village here, but why are the things inside the same? "

Uncle Tang sat on the chair and smiled. "Ninth day. Do you know why very few people could make it out of the Eight Trigrams Formation? "

I shook my head.

The Uncle Tang said, "The Eight Trigrams Formation contains everything. But in truth, not all of the boundless universe was contained within the eight trigram formation. This formation was actually an entrance. Whenever the white mist diffused into the air, the entrance to the Hu Village would open. The white mist spread out again and the entrance to the Cypress City opened. As for whether you can find the entrance in time and where you can get there, that will all depend on luck. "

When I heard this, I asked in surprise, "You mean, I'm in the real world right now? This Hu Village is my old home? "

Uncle Tang nodded.

I couldn't help but laugh, "So you're saying that I walked out of the Eight Trigram Formation? Then I will win the bet between me and Guan Di. "

As I said that, I turned around, intending to leave the Hu Village immediately to find the Guan Di to fulfill my promise.

When I reached the door, I came back. I held a dagger in my hand and said to Uncle Tang: "But … There's no rush to find Guan Di. Uncle Tang, let's settle the two of us first. Don't look back to look at Guan Di. According to our agreement, shouldn't you have returned Hu Dali's body to me? "

Uncle Tang nodded his head, "Mn, that's right, I should return this body to you. Actually, even if you lose, I still intend to return it to its original owner. "

I looked at Uncle Tang, a little puzzled. I didn't know why he would suddenly express his goodwill towards me. I'd been fooled by him too many times, so I was wary and thought it was another trap.

Uncle Tang sighed, "But... Do you want to go now? Right now, the exit has not closed yet. It is very likely that you will accidentally return to the Eight Trigrams Formation. "Listen to me and wait for the mist to dissipate. Then, you can leave."

I nodded.

Uncle Tang said sincerely: "I can give you this body right now. However … There is no soul in your body, so it's not easy to preserve. I'm worried that your body would be ruined before you even meet your brother. "If you don't mind, I'll stay for a few days. I'll return it to you when you're leaving."

Of course I mind, but what Uncle Tang said was also the truth. Since there was no soul in the body, it was no different from a corpse. All I had to do was delay it a little and it would start to rot.

I promised Uncle Tang. Uncle Tang looked very happy. He busied himself and said he wanted to have a drink with me and we were in touch.

Then he began to cook. I looked at the Uncle Tang busy in the courtyard, and the more I thought about it, the more I felt that something wasn't right.

I stood at the door and leaned on the door frame. I asked curiously, "Uncle Tang, can you tell me what is going on? How did you suddenly change your personality? "

Uncle Tang was silent for a moment, and then said: "After you enter the Eight Trigrams Formation. Little Tang Wei came to find you before. "

I was immediately enlivened. "They came? Where did they go? "

Uncle Tang said, "Other than Little Tang Wei, there's also Mr. Zhao and Xia Xin. Un … And a black cat. The four of them asked me where you were. I told a lie and tricked Mr. Zhao and Xia Xin into coming inside this Eight Trigrams Formation, and only Little Tang Wei was left outside. "

I was so angry that I wanted to give him a few bloody holes right now. I realized that the Uncle Tang would only do good deeds.

The Uncle Tang said with a bitter face: "After I tricked them all in, I dragged the Little Tang Wei out. My original plan was to bring Little Tang Wei back home and continue living a good life, just like before. "

I hurriedly stopped Uncle Tang. "Don't, don't, don't make it up for me. I don't even believe what you said. Are you the kind of person who will live a good life? "

The Uncle Tang said: "Hu Chujiu, there will be a day when everyone will turn around and face justice. I have one, too. At the entrance of the rainy market, when the Little Tang Wei agreed to bring me along, my heart softened. I found out that the kid really thought of me as a father. "

"That's right. Back then, I saved her and gave her my life so that she could escape from my third sister's pursuit. But so what? So many years had passed, even raising a stone gave birth to feelings. The more I think about it these few days, the more I feel that I'm sorry for the Little Tang Wei.

"Sigh, honestly speaking, ever since I had the Little Tang Wei, I have not fought or fought for the past few decades. These are the most peaceful years of my life. I really don't want to experience the kind of Jianghu days I had when I was a teenager. "

After staring at Uncle Tang for a while, I realised that his eyes were shining with tears. He seemed to be revealing his true feelings. I wondered, "Is what he said true?"

Uncle Tang sniffed and wiped his eyes, then said to me: "My feelings for Little Tang Wei must be real. But towards all of you, I actually do not have a good impression of you, so I tricked you into it. I want to bring Little Tang Wei along. "

"But this child is very smart. He could tell at a glance that Mr. Zhao and the rest might be in danger after entering the Eight Trigrams Formation. This child will not leave. I must swear to save the person inside. "

Uncle Tang sighed: Guan Di is my god of protection, he is not my slave, how can I order an old man to do that?

"Little Tang Wei started to lose her temper. Crying and saying how good you are to her, you should know how to repay kindness. I hear the sentiments between you. "Sigh …"

Uncle Tang sighed, wiped his tears and said: "It's so touching. Don't laugh, really. Hu Chujiu, I know what kind of person I am in your heart. Actually, when I was young, I was hot-blooded and talked about loyalty. After serving time in jail for my friend, I've emptied my pants pocket and paid for my brother's medical expenses. "

The Uncle Tang said to me, "Your actions have awoken my ideals when I was young. Moreover, I have already died once. I don't want to scheme against anyone. I just want to live a peaceful life. Even if I have to become a ghost, I hope that Little Tang Wei can erect my tablet and tell her children: "This is your grandfather, a man."

Uncle Tang's words made people want to cry, but they had no choice but to believe it. I could only nod. "That's enough. Don't cry."

Uncle Tang wiped his tears, "I don't want to cry either, but I'm getting older. The more we cry, the more we can't hold back. "

I decided to end Uncle Tang's affair. After all, I have important matters to attend to.

I said to Uncle Tang: "Don't cry anymore. Tell me first, where did Mr. Zhao go?"

The Uncle Tang shook his head, "Within this Eight Trigram Formation, there are endless changes. Who knows where they went? Even if two people came in at the same time, they would be separated in the blink of an eye. Sigh, I was holding onto Little Tang Wei originally, but who knew that she sneaked in while I wasn't paying attention. "

Uncle Tang rubbed his face, "I followed her in, but I can't find her anymore. I stumbled upon the Hu Village. I remember that you are from this village. Perhaps you will come here, so I will wait here. "Fortunately, you came soon enough."

I nodded and asked Uncle Tang, "According to what you said, are Little Tang Wei and Xia Xin still here?"

The Uncle Tang said, "He should still be here. Even if they could get to the outside world through the exit, they wouldn't understand the logic behind walking away after the white mist dispersed. Maybe they could just wander around in the outside world for a bit and then accidentally come back. "

I immediately asked, "When will the white mist disperse?" When can we leave this damn place? "

Uncle Tang said, "Not yet. He had to go at dawn. When the sun comes up, the mist will disperse. "

I said in wonder, "Daybreak? I've been in here for so long, but why haven't I seen daylight before? "

The Uncle Tang said, "The time inside is different from the time outside. I figured it was about two in the morning. You can wait another three or four hours. However … Three or four hours in the outside world, maybe three or four days in here, maybe a week, maybe a year. "
