After experiencing a dreamlike epiphany, Xu Sheng couldn't sleep. Not only the depression in his heart, but also his sleepiness were completely gone.
He rummaged around in the house and found a jar of old wine from an old and simple bookcase. No matter what year or how old it was, he happened to be thirsty, smelled the fragrance, and drank it all in one gulp.
The wine tasted okay, not that good, but it wasn't unpleasant either. It was just a small amount, more than two ounces, and for Xu Sheng, it could only moisten his throat.
Wine is a magical thing. Drinking too much can paralyze the spirit and harm the body. Drinking less can actually be good for your health and invigorate your mind.
After drinking twenty ounces of wine, Xu Sheng couldn't sleep even more. He took advantage of the starry night, holding on to the breeze, and wandered around the Xu family's house in Nuoda, relying on the faint energy of wine.
Xu Sheng likes the night very much, and I think many people like it. After spending a long, boring and tiring day, people will long for darkness. Enjoy the tranquility in the darkness, and ignore it.
Amid the turmoil of the world, wandering around as much as you want and thinking about the world, it has to be said that it is a kind of longing for relaxation.
Xu Sheng is quite relaxed now.
Originally, he didn't know much about Xu House, and the scenery everywhere was pretty good, so he completely let go of his heart and walked casually without any purpose or end. It didn't matter where he went.
However, the rare comfort did not last long, and there were always some unexpected situations that would break the long-lost leisure.
For example... Urgency to urinate.
The feeling of oppression from the lower three inches made Xu Sheng completely lose interest in wandering. He just wanted to find a place that was convenient.
However, this place is not easy to find! Where is it now? Xu Sheng was completely confused. He could only bump around like a headless fly, running north and south.
After a long time with no results, he became extremely anxious and wanted to turn back the way he came, but unfortunately the original path was not there.
Xu Sheng's route is completely random. Finding the way back in a short time may be more difficult than finding a toilet here.
"How about...?!" Xu Sheng looked at the gurgling water at his feet and had an idea.
no!
This idea was killed by him as soon as it came up. After all, no one can bear to destroy beautiful things. Besides... it is deeper in the middle of the night, and a big family like the Xu family will definitely have to patrol more frequently. If someone else
How embarrassing it would be to find yourself taking off your pants.
Just wait, if you meet someone, just ask.
At this time, the stars were shining, the water was gurgling, the breeze was gentle, and the willow branches were dancing, which was quite poetic, but Xu Sheng looked upset.
The Xu family spent a lot of money, made a lot of efforts, and spent a lot of time to bring water from Lijiang River to create streams, waterfalls, lakes and many other landscapes in Xu's house. To say that it is not beautiful would be nonsense.
But now Xu Sheng looked at the beautiful scenery in front of him and listened to the sound of the water, and he was so anxious that he just wanted to curse. The surging water and flashing waves always gave him some bad associations.
Fortunately, there is no end to the road. Xu Sheng, who was running around in circles in a hurry, finally found the toilet. After he felt comfortable for a while, he looked at the three big characters "Pure Body Room" with dragons and phoenixes on the toilet, and his teeth were filled with anger.
itch.
"Pure Body Room", a toilet named like this, with red walls, green tiles, and carved wood, made him think it was a bathhouse. He walked past the door several times, but he didn't go in.
The urgent problem was solved, but Xu Sheng had another headache about how to get back.
Random route, complex terrain, finding a way back - difficult!
But no matter how difficult it is, we have to go back! We have to teach tomorrow. According to the Xu family's style, they will definitely send someone to invite Xu Sheng. If he is not there by then, who will be invited?
When a maid or a servant opens the door, where is the person? If a guest is missing from the front door of the Xu family, it will definitely cause waves, and servants will inevitably be sent to look for him.
It must be found, but what happens after it is found? How should Xu Sheng explain?
Lost? It doesn't make sense. Why are you running around in the middle of the night?
Xu Sheng was still thinking about meeting someone on patrol, asking for directions, and hurrying back. But now, he has been wandering around for two hours without even seeing a person.
He estimated that the Xu family didn't have any patrols at all. As expected of the Xu family, they were so confident!
Another hour passed, and it was already late at night. Xu Sheng thought: I might not be able to go back tonight. He was thirsty and tired, and the previous sense of leisure had long since flown to the horizon and was gone.
In this case, he would admit it. The worst he could do would be to embarrass himself tomorrow morning.
With this idea in mind, he simply sat down, leaning against a rockery, and helplessly looked at the "beautiful" scenery that now bored him.
Suddenly, he felt his eyes light up. There was something on his right side that caught his eye for a moment. He looked at it intently, and it turned out to be a stone tablet. It was not very tall, and it was completely dark. It was very strange in this dark night.
Conspicuous.
But once you see it, you can no longer move your eyes.
tombstone?!
Two big words popped up in Xu Sheng's mind for an instant, but they disappeared immediately. Come on, who would erect a tombstone in the house unless they were sick?
If it's not a tombstone, then it's probably a merit monument, or else it's a warning monument.
No matter which one it was, Xu Sheng's interest was aroused, and he decided to take a look.
The stone tablet was not far away from him, only two or three feet, and he could reach it in three or five steps.
Standing in front of him, Xu Sheng looked up and gasped.
Grandma’s, it’s really a tombstone!
A tombstone was erected in the Xu family's house! Xu Sheng's heart trembled. Here is the tombstone, but where is the tomb? Where is the tomb? He walked towards the back of the tombstone, but saw that it was empty, not even a small protrusion.
"Maybe I'm overthinking it." Xu Sheng stroked his chest, his voice trembling, and he sounded obviously lacking in confidence. He forced himself to cheer up and moved closer to the tombstone to look at it carefully.
There are words on it! They are all ancient texts from 2,000 years ago. Xu Sheng, even though he has done some research on the characters, is confused and has only a partial understanding of them.
"Heaven... lacks a son!"
The inscription seems to be incomplete, but it roughly records a great disaster two thousand years ago, in which the three characters "Tianquezi" appear more than ten times.
The inscriptions on the inscriptions are less than a thousand words in total, and the frequency of "Tianquezi" appearing is so high that it cannot help but attract Xu Sheng's attention.
"The above seems to say that 'Youtian Quezi' caused a catastrophe, and in the end it was he who ended the disaster?!" Xu Sheng murmured to himself, not sure. After all, it was an obscure ancient text from two thousand years ago, and the twilight
It was heavy and the handwriting was mottled, so he could only guess blindly.
"Who is Tian Quezi?" Xu Sheng tried hard to recall, but it seems that there was no such person in history. Not to mention two thousand years ago, there was no such person even five thousand years ago.
If there really was such a person who caused a global disaster two thousand years ago and then ended the disaster, it would be impossible not to mention it at all in the Classics and History.
"Classics and History" is a strange book, the most amazing book in the world. I don't know who wrote it, maybe it was not written by one person at all. It records a total of 4,200 years ago from more than 5,000 years ago to the 13th year of Yingyuan of the previous dynasty.
The history of the past few years is not only history, but also interspersed with content in theology, legends, ancient characters, medicine, architecture and many other fields. It has a total of 36 million words, which can be called a masterpiece.
Moreover, according to the research of later generations, the records in "The Classics and History" are basically true. Except for some theories about gods, ghosts and immortality, the rest are all accepted by the world.
Xu Sheng is quite familiar with "Classics and History". He has read books for more than ten years, and the book he has read the most is "Classics and History". Of course, it has 36 million words, and the content is extremely concise. The text is difficult to pronounce and obscure. Xu Sheng
He had only gone through it roughly a few times, but he had always been interested in history and ancient characters. He had studied and studied it several times.
Like most people in this world, out of his trust and admiration for "The Classics and History", Xu Sheng concluded that there was no "Heaven's Son" in the past two thousand years, nor was there any catastrophe that the whole world could share.
"The inscription is probably written blindly, but the words are really good." Xu Sheng had already made up his mind, but still stood in front of the tombstone, refusing to leave.
He was fascinated by the words on it, and his mind was sucked into it.
What a good word!
It is as graceful as a startled dragon, like a swimming dragon, ancient and clumsy, and rich in vicissitudes of life.
Xu Sheng felt happy and couldn't help but touch it.
Alas!
It's so cold. The stone tablet is like ice, cold and smooth.
How amazing! It was the first time Xu Sheng encountered such a stone and couldn't help but touch it a few more times.
Then, something strange happened. The stone tablet shook violently, and then emitted a moon-white light that pierced the sky.
