Chapter 2088 (Two Thousand and Eighty-eight) Childhood
"Hug...I'm sorry, patriarch, I don't know her...who she is..." the subordinate said, "I'm worried that she doesn't... Not a human being…”
Tiewan Dao thought about what his men were talking about about Muxi Pavilion, singing, and not knowing whether he was a human being. Suddenly he thought of what he had heard from an older man before: there was a person imprisoned in Muxi Pavilion many years ago. Sometimes a very sad song would come from the pavilion, like a ghost. Later, the man committed suicide by hanging from a beam on the top floor.
Thinking of this, Tie Wandao asked, "Isn't it a human? Is it a ghost?"
Tie Wandao spoke loudly, which frightened the subordinate so much that he trembled violently.
The subordinate said: "No... I don't know!"
"What the hell! How ridiculous! What kind of place is Tiecangting? Can there be ghosts? Do ghosts dare to come? Who am I, Tiewandao?!" Tiewandao said.
Although Tie Wandao said this in a sarcastic tone, his subordinates seemed to be comforted after hearing these words. They calmed down a little and said: "Yes... yes... you are the leader of the clan, so... Where would any ghost dare to appear in Tiecangting..."
The subordinates thought: Yes, she won’t come to me if the clan leader is here!
However, his subordinates only comforted themselves, but in fact they were still afraid.
"It's good to know." Tie Wandao said, "You just said she sang? Then did you hear what song she sang?"
The subordinate said: "It seems...it seems..."
"What does it look like?! Don't be hesitant, tell me quickly!" Tie Wandao said.
"It seems to be a song I heard before when I went to a place where people in blue armor gathered." The subordinate replied.
"The song of the man in blue armor?" Tie Wandao asked.
"It should be..." the subordinate replied. Tie Wandao suddenly felt a little strange when he remembered that he had heard that the man who committed suicide in Muxi Pavilion sang the song of the man in blue armor. He also thought about the fact that because of the suicide of the man who sometimes sang who was imprisoned in Muxi Pavilion, all the people who originally lived near Muxi Pavilion had moved to other places, and no one went to that area anymore. At this moment, he suddenly thought that something was a bit incredible.
"Did you hear that correctly?" Tie Wandao asked.
"Absolutely...I definitely heard you right!" said his subordinate, "How dare I talk nonsense about this kind of thing? On the one hand, I don't dare to deceive the clan leader, but mentioning 'her' is actually quite scary..."
"What are you afraid of?!" Tie Wandao said, "If I hadn't seen you look like this today, I wouldn't have known that someone like you, who is usually so bold, would still be like this!"
When the subordinates heard Tie Wandao say "ghostly", their hearts trembled again.
"This may have something to do with the fact that I heard some ghost-related things when I was a child, and I was frightened by this." The subordinate said, "I hope the patriarch can forgive me!"
Tie Wandao sneered and said: "I used to see you being bold, and I wanted to know what you were afraid of, but today I found out that you are afraid of ghosts! It feels ridiculous just thinking about it!"
The subordinate lowered his head slightly, feeling a little embarrassed, but fear still occupied his heart.
Tie Wandao thought his men's frightened look was ridiculous, so he deliberately asked him: "What was the tune of the song you heard at Muxi Pavilion before? Do you want to sing one for me?"
When his subordinates told Tie Wandao about this, they were worried that they would offend the singer, let alone sing the song she sang. At this time, the subordinate said: "Sorry, patriarch! I...I can't sing."
Tie Wandao said: "You can't sing or you don't dare to sing?"
