Chapter 1086 The King Will Really Return
"Some things in this world should be done, some should not be done, some should be done, and some should not be done. Do what should be done, and don't do what shouldn't be done. If you don't do what should be done, or do what shouldn't be done, it's going against the flow. Those who go against the flow have never had a good end since ancient times."
The voice of Mr. Mei is just like him. It sounds ordinary, but it seems unfathomable when you taste it carefully. He looked at Zhou Taihe and said calmly: "Some gambles can be restarted after losing, but some gambles, once lost, mean that you have completely lost and there is no chance to start over again."
"You said I will lose?"
Zhou Taihe seemed a little unconvinced and a little angry. He shouted: "If I tell you, I will definitely win!"
The old man Mei shook his head and said: "You can't win!"
"How do you know I can't win? Do you think you can stop me? I, Zhou Taihe, am not afraid of any of you!"
"Whether we stop or not is not important to you at all. What is important is what you are afraid of!"
What are you afraid of?
Zhou Taihe seemed to realize something, and his heart was a little flustered. He stared at Mei Lao and said in a serious tone: "Are you scaring me?"
"Your heart is already full of fear, why do you need me to scare you?"
If these words were said by others, Zhou Taihe would naturally not take it to heart, but it happened that these words were said by Mei Lao, a hermit who was proficient in unorthodox methods.
"I once observed the sky at night, and the king will return soon, or perhaps it should be said that the king has already returned!"
No one expected that Mei Lao would suddenly say such a thing, not to mention Zhou Taihe and the Chixiao people, even Heishui and Heifo who came with Mei Lao were shocked.
Zhou Taihe couldn't tell whether Mei Lao was scaring him, and Heishui and Heifo were also suspicious whether Mei Lao was deliberately scaring Zhou Taihe, because before this, they had never heard Mei Lao say this.
The more than 100 Chixiao people under Zhou Taihe's command had already felt insecure with the arrival of Black Buddha and Black Water Master. Now, they heard Elder Mei say that the king would return soon, or even had already returned, which made them even more panicked.
They were like this, and Zhou Taihe was no exception. He took a deep breath, as if suppressing the panic in his heart, and said: "You said that Yan Luo is the king?"
Elder Mei shook his head and said: "I don't know, but is it important? Even if the king Yan Luo is not real,
the real king will return soon, believe it or not."
Zhou Taihe really didn't know whether he should believe it or not, but at this moment, he had already shot the arrow on the string, and there was no turning back. No matter what, he had to take a gamble today, and the gamble was whether Yan Luo was the king. As for other people, he didn't care about them at all.
"I just said that some bets can be played again after losing, but some bets, once lost, means complete loss, and there is no chance to play again."
Old Mei repeated what he said before, and for Zhou Taihe, he didn't understand it just now. After hearing what Old Mei said again, he realized that Old Mei had already seen through his heart. Although he had known that Old Mei was proficient in unorthodox techniques, he had never thought that it was so strange.
He suppressed the panic in his heart and asked: "Old Mei, what do you mean by saying these words to me today? Are you trying to persuade me to turn back? Let me tell you, since I, Zhou Taihe, have embarked on this road, I will not turn back. Even if the real king comes today, I am not afraid. The worst case is death. What is there to be afraid of!"
"I will not persuade you to turn back. If you don't turn back, if you really can't die today, you will definitely not live."
Really can't die?
But you will definitely not live?
What does this mean?
Zhou Taihe didn't understand, but stared at Old Mei.
Old Mei shook his head, as if he didn't want to talk anymore. He sighed and said, "Take care of yourself."
"In that case, you guys should take care of yourself too!"
Zhou Taihe snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves, turned around and went up the mountain to the cemetery.
After Zhou Taihe left, Master Hei Fo immediately asked, "Old Mei, is what you just said true or false? Are you trying to scare Zhou Taihe? Or..."
Hei Shui also waited and asked, "Old Mei, is what you just said true?"
Other people like Yu Heng and Feng Xu were no exception. They were all excited and eager for Old Mei to answer their doubts.
"If it's true, it's true. If it's false, it's false..."
Hei Fo and Hei Shui looked at each other, and they didn't know what Old Mei meant by this.
At this time, a trembling voice came, "Old Mei, you just said that the king... the king really returned, but... is it true?"
Everyone looked over and saw an old man with white hair and beard, quite vicissitudes and old, walking towards this side with a cane.
The old man was none other than Huang Yuan, the old senior.
Seeing Huang Yuan, both Hei Fo and Hei Shui were startled, and then they did not dare to neglect and immediately stepped forward to salute.
Huang Yuan was a veteran of the Chi Xiao Sect. He not only helped Zhou Taihe, but also helped Hei Fo and Hei Shui. Even Yu Heng, Feng Xu and other Chi Xiao people were mostly brought up by the old senior Huang Yuan. For them, Huang Yuan was definitely a respectable old senior.
Ever since knowing that the old senior Huang Yuan had been hidden by Zhou Taihe in the Juexin Branch, the old master Hei Fo had always wanted to take Huang Yuan back from the Juexin Branch to take good care of the old man, but was rejected by Huang Yuan, because the old senior stayed in the Juexin Branch only to persuade Zhou Taihe and other Chi Xiao people to turn back.
Unfortunately, to this day, no one has been persuaded.
For this reason.
He had long been disheartened.
Heishui had not seen senior Huang Yuan for a long time. When they met, seeing Huang Yuan's old appearance, his eyes immediately turned red. He felt very guilty and secretly cursed himself for wasting all his time on tracking down the liar.
Huang Yuan was obviously a little excited when he saw Heishui and other Chixiao people. It seemed as if he had returned to the days in Chixiao Sect. He was very emotional for a while.
Since the king buried Chixiao Sect and was judged by the immortal way, they rarely met. It has been two or three hundred years. Huang Yuan was also quite relieved to see that Heishui, Daoba Kui and other Chixiao people were much more mature than before.
If it was an ordinary time, he would definitely drink with Heishui, Daoba Kui and others, even if he didn't like drinking.
But today, especially now, he wanted to know whether what Mei Lao said just now was true.
"This matter is complicated and cannot be explained in a short time."
"What do you mean? Elder Mei, were you just trying to scare Zhou Taihe?"
"No, I said that observing the sky at night was fake and that the king would definitely return was not to scare Zhou Taihe, but it was true."
Mr. Mei's words instantly made the whole audience fall into silence, and time seemed to freeze at this moment.
