Grandma Kong does look old, although the difference between the old man at this age does not seem to be so big, but her body is more rickety, and the domineering momentum on her body is much weaker.

Sitting there quietly, holding a cup of hot water in his hand, at first glance he looks no different from an ordinary old man, but between the opening and closing of his eyes, the terrifying light that can still be seen reveals the extraordinary nature of this old woman.

When I came to the Hangu Pagoda, I sat quietly for a while, and my grandmother never spoke, looking at the bright sunshine outside the window, it was like sitting in a pavilion in the park and drinking tea quietly and enjoying leisure time.

Wait patiently, Grandma Kong won't come here for no reason, especially after those leaders bring the news back to the village.

Finally, as if she was tired of seeing the sunlight outside the window, Grandma Kong retracted her gaze and fell on the water cup in her hand, "In the far north, such hot water is very precious, our Tianyan clan rarely inherits the flame stigma, and now there is no one in the clan, you have indeed brought something to the Tianyan clan that you are extremely eager for, no wonder the people in charge were persuaded by you so quickly." ”

The other party spoke, and Tian Xian breathed a sigh of relief slightly, "Grandma Kong, this is the trend of the times, the thing that the Tianyan clan desires the most is no longer here, but in the broader human continent." ”

"yes...... We used to be proud to be servants of the gods, but I don't know when it began...... The desire to survive transcends this belief that should not be shaken. Raising her eyes to look at Tianxian, Grandma Kong showed a strange and bitter smile, "Now, can you tell me why you came to the Far North, and why did you take us all away?

"I ......"

"I don't want to listen to lies. Grandma Kong waved her hand gently, "You are not a servant of the gods, I know very well. ”

Tian Xian couldn't help but be dumb. Grandma Kong was neither excited, nor angry, and she didn't even have the momentum to see through the truth, as if she was telling an irrefutable fact.

Could it have been seen through a long time ago?

"Boy, you're still very tender. Grandma Kong took a sip of water slowly, and her expression did not change at all. "You do have something extraordinary, you have a heavy treasure, you went deep into the far north alone, captured the Hangu Tower, and you almost deceived me by talking nonsense in front of my old woman......"

Grandma Kong smiled faintly, "Courageous, brave and resourceful, there will always be very outstanding people in human beings." ”

Listening to the voice of the empty grandmother with almost no emotion. A cold sweat broke out on Tianxian's back, and he pretended to be calm and said, "Grandma Kong, at this point, do you still want to test me?"

Grandma Sora laughed, "It's not a temptation, boy!" is a compliment to you, but like I said, you're still too tender after all. In the end, the flaws were still exposed. ”

Facing such a calm and calm empty grandmother, Tianxian's heart couldn't help but hang. Now several leaders have been extremely active to persuade the Tianyan Clan to leave here, if their identities are revealed at this time, they will lose their previous efforts, and they can only escape with the Hangu Tower!

"Don't worry, I'm not here to expose you, let alone threaten you. "Empty grandma pushed the water cup to Tianxian. "Add me another cup of hot water, I'm old...... I always feel chills in my body, maybe ......"

Looking out the window again, Grandma Kong smiled wryly, "Maybe go to a warmer place." I'm going to live a little longer......"

Tian Xian's eyes suddenly rolled when he heard this, listening to this, there is a door!

Hot water is something that comes casually to Tianxian, as long as you are careful not to steam all the water out at once.

"Grandma Sora, if you go to a warmer place, I think you'll live a long life, eh...... Two hundred years old. Tian Xian immediately changed his words, because Grandma Kong looked like she was about to turn 100 years old.

"Hahahaha. Grandma Sora laughed out loud, and this time she seemed to be laughing happily.

"Young man......" Grandma Kong took the hot water cup handed by Tianxian, hugged it in her arms, and said with a smile, "Living a long time is not necessarily a good thing, and when you reach my age, you may understand this truth." ”

After taking a sip of hot water, Grandma Kong seemed to be a little more energetic, "Tell me, why did you come to the Far North?"

Tian Xian was very entangled in his heart, and he couldn't guess whether the other party really exposed himself.

"Okay, so I'll tell you where you got your flaws. "At first, you did make me very confused, I couldn't tell if you were real or not, and it wasn't until you started to get the bosses to convince the other clansmen to leave here that I was completely sure that you were just a fake little ghost." ”

"What's wrong with that, I need new followers too, and this is also an opportunity for the Tianyan clan!"

Grandma Sora smiled lightly, "It's not that there's anything wrong, it's not at all!"

"Not at all?" Tianxian's eyebrows furrowed.

"For the will of the gods does not give mortals a second chance. Grandma Kong looked at Tian Xian's slightly surprised face playfully, "Boy, your courage and strength have reached the point where I doubt it, but unfortunately, you are not ruthless enough!"

Tianxian finally vaguely understood what he had missed......

"If you are born at the will of the gods, and appear on behalf of the will of the gods, then those who do not want to leave should be abandoned or even killed. Grandma Kong shook her head regretfully, "Young man, you don't understand what kind of lofty existence the gods are to us servants, it is a kind of will to kill and plunder all in one thought, it is a great power that we can't touch at all, although you have deceived me, but ...... But you are not a true servant. ”

As if longing for warmth, she drank the hot water that was still hot, and Grandma Kong's whole body seemed to be soothed a lot, "I haven't drunk such water for a long time......

Tian Xian used an empty cup to boil a glass of water for the empty grandmother and put it on the table, and her expression no longer looked dignified, since the empty grandmother has revealed her identity, there is no need to be stupid to disguise it anymore.

"Now that you know, what are you going to do? Is it a warning or a threat to come to me today?"

Grandma Kong looked at the water sent by Tianxian again, there seemed to be something more in her smile, and she picked up the water cup and said, "No." There's nothing I can do about it, I'm sitting here just to prove that I'm not completely old enough to be hopelessly old. ”

"You're not going to expose me?" Tian Xian couldn't believe it.

"What's the use?" said Grandma Kong, as if saying something inconsequential, "the chiefs have begun to convince the other clansmen to leave, and most of them have agreed. And the number of people willing to leave is increasing......"

Drinking the cup of water thirsty, Grandma Kong looked at the empty water cup and was stunned, "Even if I can forcibly leave all the clansmen, but their souls are no longer here, forcibly leaving them behind can only bring chaos and destruction, the Tianyan clan has been guarding the extreme north for thousands of years, and now ...... It's over. ”

"That's enough...... Grandma Empty pushed away the water that Tianxian handed me again, "but I can't stop it." But as the patriarch, I want to know, where are you going to take us, and are you going to sell us like the strange people of the Eastern Kingdom?"

Tian Xian couldn't help but sit up straight, and replied seriously: "Grandma Kong, since you asked like this, I might as well have something to say, I hope you don't be surprised." ”

Grandma Sora smiled. "I don't have the ability to blame you, a servant who is recognized by the people. ”

Tian Xian Zhengse said: "I never knew that there was a cold ancient tower before, I came to the far north. It's just a simple desire to wake up the snow.,But then something unexpected happened.,That's why there's the current situation.,If you're honest.,What kind of fate will the Tianyan clan face in the future.,It's not what I'm most concerned about.。 It's true that I'm not a servant of the gods, I'm just a human being, all I want is for the people around me to be happier, I want to cure Ling's illness, and I want to reunite Snow with my family. That's it. ”

Frowning, Tian Xian continued: "As for the Tianyan clan, it would be good if you could help by the way, if you can take everyone away smoothly this time, what I talked to you about before will still not change, I am building a small kingdom on the human continent, it is easy to accommodate a few hundred people, and it is difficult to be discovered, you can completely hide your identity, live there temporarily, and have a suitable opportunity to move to other places in the future." ”

After listening to Tianxian's words, Grandma Kong was silent for a long time, "By the way...... By the way......"

Muttering to herself, Grandma Kong suddenly laughed, "Young man, you help us, is it because of Eve's mother and daughter?"

"Yes!" Tian Xian made no secret of it, "I never thought I would be able to help everyone, but as long as I have the opportunity, I am willing to try!"

"And...... "Tian Xian hesitated slightly, "you...... It is also Xue and Ling's grandmother, and it is their family. ”

Grandma Kong's eyes couldn't help but tremble slightly, and then she didn't know whether it was approval or because of other things, so she nodded silently.

"I've got the answer I wanted...... "Granny Sora slowly stood up, "Thank you for the water." ”

Tianxian sent the empty grandmother all the way outside the gate, "Empty grandma, if the Tianyan clan successfully migrates, there will be many uncomfortable and unpredictable troubles, and I hope you take care of your health, you may be very busy at that time." ”

Grandma Kong stood outside the gate, looking up at the clear sky, as if she hadn't heard Tianxian's words at all.

"Came out alive......" Grandma Kong suddenly sighed.

Tianxian was slightly stunned, a little unclear, "What did you say, Grandma Kong?"

Grandma Kong laughed, her voice suddenly became powerful, her body straightened a lot, and when she turned around, the old state on her face had disappeared by seven or eight points, and her eyes were shining, how could she still look depressed and weak just now.

Tianxian couldn't help but be a little surprised, "You?"

"Hmph, didn't you tell me to take good care of my health, and I will still be busy in the future? Why, old woman, are you still not happy that I am in good spirits?" the empty grandmother snorted angrily.

Tianxian immediately understood that he had been deceived just now, and couldn't help but get angry in his heart, he respected her as an old man, but he didn't expect her to pretend to be weak to deceive her sympathy, and take away her truth.

"Boy, acting in front of my old man, you are still very tender!" Grandma Kong looked Tianxian up and down, with a lot of disdain in her eyes, "You can't be careless at any time, this is the most basic condition for achieving great things, and at the same time, you must be ruthless, otherwise you can only harm others and yourself!"

Although Tianxian was angry in his heart, he heard the wrong thing in Grandma Kong's words, why did the other party seem to be teaching him a lesson?

Before Tian Xian could speak, Grandma Kong had already said to herself: "Before I came to you, I had secretly made an appointment with everyone in charge if I died in the tower." Then you are a fake servant, and they will wait for the opportunity to kill you and seize the Hangu Tower. ”

Tianxian was surprised, "You...... Thought I'd kill you?"

Grandma Kong frowned and looked at Tianxian, and there was no concern for her life in her voice, "That's why I said you weren't ruthless enough! The unstable factors that expose my identity must be wiped out as soon as possible! No matter what malicious or well-intentioned I have for the Tianyan clan! My own safety must come first!"

"I drank three glasses of water. Grandma Kong shook her head regretfully, "I gave you three silent opportunities to kill me, but unfortunately you missed them." ”

Is this old woman here to lure me into killing her?

"But if you die, the rest of the people will not be resigned. ”

"You are a servant of the gods!" Grandma Kong interrupted Tian Xian slightly angrily, "You have countless ways to prove that I am going to be against you, and then you have to kill me! But you don't! You are not worried that others will be held accountable, but you have not thought of this method at all!"

Tianxian was a little speechless and wanted to kill the empty grandmother. I've never thought of anything like this.

"Stupid!" Granny Snorted, "The opportunity to control the clan has just slipped away. ”

I can't cry or laugh all day long, how can I blame others for not killing myself like this?

"Grandma Kong, I don't want to control the Tianyan clan, let alone avoid being assassinated by other people in charge, right?"

Grandma Kong's face was still gloomy, "Forget it...... Although your expression Xiàn disappoints me, it at least proves that you have no dangerous thoughts about the Tianyan clan. That's a little bit of a takeaway for me. ”

Tian Xian couldn't understand the way of thinking of the empty grandmother at all, and it was clear that now should be the best result.

"What if...... I really did it. Aren't you ready to resist? You can drink all three glasses of water. Tian Xian looked at the dissatisfied face of the empty grandmother and couldn't help but say.

"Of course, I approached this tower with the determination to die!"

Grandma Kong's sonorous answer really shocked Tianxian.

Looking at Tianxian's surprised face even more dissatisfied, Grandma Kong said in a cold voice: "You have obtained the Hangu Pagoda and won the trust of the clansmen. Even if I can kill you, it won't help, the belief that supports the survival of the Tianyan clan in the cold ice field has almost collapsed, and if you plan to be unfavorable to our clan, you will inevitably kill the weakened me, all I can do is use my life to awaken those blinded clansmen......"

"Young man...... Life. Sometimes it has to be bloody! You get the idea?"

Tianxian was deeply shocked. The belief in transcending life and death made this thin old woman become as tall as a mountain in front of Tianxian eyes, and she gambled her life to win the future safety of her clansmen, which was the purpose of Grandma Kong's this time.

Tianxian bowed deeply, "Tianxian has been taught, I have been offended before, and I ask Grandma Kong not to be surprised, I am also forced to do so." ”

Grandma Kong nodded invisibly, "There is no need to mention the past, and today your choice makes me happy, but at the same time, it also makes me feel sorry, kindness is good, but more often than not, we don't need it!"

Strange look at the empty grandmother, Tian Xian felt that the empty grandmother had a strange tone, "Tian Xian wrote it down." ”

"Hmm......" Grandma Kong showed a little satisfaction, "You don't have to worry about those who refuse to move away, we will naturally convince them, if you have any other questions about this migration, you can come and ask me directly." ”

Watching Grandma Kong's steady return to the village, Tianxian suddenly had a feeling that she had been calculated from beginning to end, when did Grandma Kong......'s identity find out that she was impersonating?

Since Grandma Kong's arrival, the progress of the persuasion work has obviously been several times faster, and someone packed up a qiē on the same day and carried all the belongings to the Hangu Pagoda.

Tianxian directly opened the door of the tower, and those who came did not refuse to greet every Tianyan clansman.

Now although the number of Tianyan clan is very small, there are also hundreds, it is impossible to rely on three or two people to prepare food, clothing, housing and transportation for them, Tianxian simply left only the top ten floors, and the rest of the tower floors are completely open, and the Tianyan clan who moved at will chose their favorite site to live.

The Hangu Pagoda is very huge, there are no crowded rooms like canned food at all, and the living area is all exquisite courtyards, and there are even small pavilions and gardens, so it is not a problem to live in one place for ten or twenty people.

You must know that this giant tower was once inhabited by tens of thousands of people. Now that three or five hundred people have moved in, the Hangu Pagoda is just a little hotter, and it is far from crowded......

This situation made the people of Tianyan very happy, they had been living in a dimly lit folding space house, and it was a very happy thing to have such a delicate and bright solitary dwelling.

The relocation work also went very smoothly, and several directors and empty grandmothers personally participated. It took less than three days for the entire village to be crammed into the Hangu Tower.

There were some people who didn't want to leave at all, but when they were the only ones left, they had to move in.

It took less than three days to move in, but it took a full ten days to clean up the living quarters in the tower.

The tower had been abandoned for an unknown number of years, with old moldy wood, rusty ironwork, the pungent smell of the closed rooms, the furnishings that could no longer be discerned, and the thick dust that could kill people......

Some time ago, when Tian Xian and Eve were searching for useful items, they had already learned how powerful this tower was. And this time, hundreds of people stirred up the discarded smell of this untold number of years......

Countless things were thrown away before and after, immeasurable dust was swept away, each layer was well ventilated, and the windows blocked by mud and dirt on the tower were knocked open, and after ten days, this Hangu Tower, which was almost buried by the dust of history, finally re-exposed the cyan tower body with the unremitting efforts of the Hundreds of Heavenly Eye Clans, and the decoration and carving on the outer wall became clear again.

When a qiē is ready to stop. Tianxian finally activated the Hangu Tower.

After this period of research, Tian Xian has become handy with the control of the Hangu Tower. This tower is built with that stone pillar as the core, and deciphering the carvings of the stone pillars is equivalent to mastering all the mechanisms of this tower, at present, the best understanding of these carvings is naturally Tianxian, and Grandma Kong and Eve also know some of them, but the records obtained from the inheritance of the Tianyan clan that have gradually disappeared over time are very limited.

And Tianxian refers to the knowledge learned systematically from Triangle and Gollum. I have mastered these carvings.

The huge Hangu Tower flew up to a height of 10,000 meters, and after activating the ban outside the tower, the tower body moved and was surrounded by clouds and mist, like a huge dark cloud moving, but it was not affected at all when looking inside the tower.

All the Tianyan people gathered in front of the window. As the vast ice field faded away from their sight, many shed tears, and many wept silently......

Thousands of years, thousands of years of patience and torture, in the end, still have strange feelings for the land where they lived, although they know that there is no need to stay, but they are still a little reluctant.

"I didn't expect that we would leave the Far North in such a way. Grandma Kong stood in front of the huge window on the top floor, looking at the slowly moving earth under her feet, her face lonely, "We have been holding on for thousands of years, and finally in my generation...... Or give up. ”

"Thousands of years have passed, and the Tianyan clan should have changed somewhat. Tian Xian was standing beside Grandma Kong, and now the spiritual split of the evil eye was in the direction of the hidden top layer of the Han Ancient Tower, "I think all the Tianyan clan will remember you in the future, I think if you don't leave, maybe the Tianyan clan will only have a hundred years." ”

"Perhaps, there have been no babies alive for three consecutive years, and I hope that in the new place of residence, we can continue to live in the next generation. Grandma Kong shook her head helplessly, "We don't need a good environment, we just need a slightly warm place, where we won't starve to death, die of thirst, and then live a quiet life without being disturbed." ”

"Yes. Tian Xian smiled, "My little place couldn't be quieter." ”

Grandma Kong suddenly frowned slightly, "Where are we going, why is this direction?"

"Oh?"

Saying that, Tian Xian couldn't help but look out the window, an ice field, a sky, how could he tell the direction.

"Boy, we have lived here for thousands of years, so naturally we have a way to tell the direction, since you came from the high ground, then you should know that this is the direction to the Thundermark Clan's Holy Mountain!"

Tian Xian scratched his head, "This...... Yes, I specifically asked about that place when I came, huh...... I have a friend who is from the Highlands, and I would like to inquire about her this time, and I will not waste much time. (To be continued......)
