Of course, the same dream must be awakened in the same way.
Xu Sheng stood quietly, closed his eyes, and waited for the arrival of a ball of fire.
He firmly believed that the flames would eventually come. The increasingly bizarre experiences made him feel that there was indeed something extraordinary about him, and he even vaguely agreed with what the weirdos called "fake".
A nearly perfect fake child should not and will never die in a dream without any explanation.
...
For a long time, it seemed like just a moment.
A bolt of lightning fell from the sky without warning, carrying infinite power, and exploded next to Xu Sheng.
coming!
It's not the ignition of a flame, but the rise of a sea of fire!
Xu Sheng opened his eyes, and he was surrounded by fire. There were thousands of colors and scenes in the fire, but before he could see clearly, a ray of light pierced into his eyes.
...
"ah--!"
He yelled and straightened up suddenly. It took him a while to regain his composure. He looked around and saw familiar scenery all around him.
"Finally woke up!" He whispered to himself. When he touched the quilt, it was wet with cold sweat.
Spring passed and autumn came, and cold came and summer passed. The days passed day by day, and Xu Sheng stayed in the Xu family's house for more than a year.
A year is neither long nor short. This year was undoubtedly a torment for Xu Sheng, but at the same time, his progress was also extremely significant.
Today, Xu Sheng is no longer as weak as he was a year ago. His height has grown again at an age when he should have stagnated. Needless to say, there are superficial changes, and only he is aware of the more profound changes.
Now, as long as he is willing, he can draw out the "invisible secret power" from various parts of the body in an instant, gather it effortlessly in one place, and launch a powerful blow with ease. He has tried it, with all his strength, with one finger
, can easily break through iron plates! Correspondingly, his perception ability is also far better than before. He can see ants a hundred feet away as long as he concentrates; he can hear mosquitoes and flies in the nearby courtyard as long as he concentrates.
The sound of breathing.
The root of everything, Xu Sheng guessed, is probably related to that strange dream.
Throughout the year, Xu Sheng had been dreaming a lot, and every dream was very similar. Xu Sheng would encounter the man in black who looked very similar to him every time in his dreams, and every time he would have to fight.
In one year, Xu Sheng has fought against the man in black more than a hundred times. From being passively beaten at the beginning, he is now able to fight back. Xu Sheng believes that one day he will pin down the hateful man in black.
The friction on the ground will take back all the insults he has received. Not only that, he will also make it worse.
As for who the man in black was, Xu Sheng didn't know. The two were angry with each other and would rather beat each other to a bloody head than reveal their respective identities.
Speaking of which, the two of them are not only similar in appearance, but also similar in character, with the same stubbornness and the same childlike temper.
Teaching during the day and dreaming at night have become the norm in Xu Sheng's life. That weirdo, both young and old, never appeared again, but Xu Sheng knew clearly that the weirdo must be hiding in a hidden corner that he could not reach, watching silently.
he.
Yes, the weirdo was indeed watching him, almost continuously for a whole year. It is no exaggeration to say that the weirdo knew Xu Sheng better than Xu Sheng himself in some aspects.
Xu Sheng's dreams always surprise the weirdo. The weirdo benefited a lot from Xu Sheng's battles with the men in black. He was actually able to spy on some long-lost secret skills!
For the weirdo, Xu Sheng is a treasure house. He is extremely happy, but at the same time he has some doubts. The doubt is that every time Xu Sheng walks into a dark place in the second half of the dream, and then he can't see anything.
.
What is the secret in that dark place? The weirdo wants to know eagerly, but he can't find a way.
To ask Xu Sheng? Impossible, Xu Sheng would never tell him. To search for souls? Yes, but that would cause too much damage to the consciousness and might destroy the dream. He was not willing to take that risk.
The weirdo wants to get what he wants from Xu Sheng's dream, and then search his memory bit by bit. For him, that is the safe way.
Xu Sheng was walking in the garden. He had been really free in the past few days. One day, the eldest daughter of the Xu family burst into tears for no apparent reason and then took sick leave. Both of them, he had not dreamed for a long time.
Xu Sheng wandered around and gradually realized that the entire Xu residence was enveloped in an extremely solemn atmosphere. Based on the few words he heard in the past few days, he guessed that there was a high probability that someone big was coming.
"Mr. Xu" A loud voice made Xu Sheng stop. When he turned around, it was an acquaintance - the accountant of Xu's North Courtyard.
"Mr. Xu is really in a good mood! The grass and trees are luxuriant at this time, so it's a good time to visit." The accountant was about forty years old, with a thin build, dark skin, high cheekbones, and slender cheeks.
An astute person is a master who sees in all directions and hears in all directions.
"Brother Wang is not bad at all. It was fate that I met him the first time I entered this garden." Xu Sheng stayed in the Xu family for a year and met many people.
Words are naturally very handy.
The two of them chatted casually, talking about trivial and non-nutritive nonsense. After going back and forth, the two of them talked about the "various actions" of the Xu family recently.
"The Xu family is going to take a step further this time." Accountant Wang squinted at the servants coming in and out, said with a smile, and then looked at Xu Sheng meaningfully. Of course Xu Sheng understood what it meant, and he immediately started clapping
"I am stupid, I hope my brother will make it clear."
"You don't even know this?!" Accountant Wang raised his neck, feeling quite proud, smiled, and said in a low voice: "
The eldest daughter of the Xu family is getting married."
What!
There was a bolt from the blue and thunder on the ground. For a moment, Xu Sheng felt that the sky was dark and the earth was dark, and he almost fell to the ground.
"How could it be?" He said in a deep voice. It took him a long time to stabilize his mind and said tremblingly to the king's accountant: "May I ask if I know which family the eldest lady is married to?"
"It seems...the Liu family?" Accountant Wang was not sure. At the same time, he saw that Xu Sheng was a little abnormal, so he hesitated to answer.
Liu family.
Xu Sheng nodded, his mind was in chaos, but he couldn't help but think of the four words "a good match".
The Xu family is the largest family in Nanjun, while the Liu family is the largest family in Zhongzhou. Although Nanjun is large, it is still within Zhongzhou.
The Xu family is famous for its wealth and has been prosperous for hundreds of years; but the Liu family is truly a thousand-year-old family. It can be said that the Liu family has a longer history than the current Jozhao Dynasty. A thousand-year family! It is extremely powerful in this dynasty.
.The garrison at Sishui Pass, the most powerful pass in the world that blocked the millions of tigers and wolves in the Kwantung, were actually the Liu family’s private army.
Most of the entire Zhongzhou is the private land of the Liu family.
It is very reasonable for the Xu family to choose to marry the Liu family. The alliance between the richest family and the most powerful family is human nature no matter how you look at it.
But Xu Sheng just felt something was wrong. He thought of Xu Lizi's crying. What was wrong with her? She was clearly unwilling. He felt that it was necessary to meet Xu Lizi. Although he considered himself insignificant, he could just acquiesce that Xu Lizi would marry her.
Xu Sheng felt like his heart was pierced by the person he liked.
"Hey, Mr. Xu, why are you leaving? Chat with me for a while.
"Wang Accountant shouted at the top of his lungs. Xu Sheng acted as if he hadn't heard, and ran away without saying a word.
"Why are you anxious about someone getting married?" Accountant Wang muttered in a low voice, flicked his sleeves, then said "ouch" and exclaimed: "Okay Xu Sheng, you are so brave."
When Xu Sheng stood outside the door of "Xiaoxiao Pavilion", he hesitated. He put his hand on the door knocker and couldn't knock it down.
What happened to me?
Xu Sheng asked himself: What's the use of my coming? I am the teacher, she is the disciple, and we are the master and apprentice. Their parents decide their marriage, so why should I interfere? Who am I? Why should I appear here?
In what capacity can I intervene in this matter?
The more he thought about it, the more painful Xu Sheng felt. Finally he put down his raised hand, took a deep breath, turned around cowardly, and left in despair.
At this moment, his back was so stooped, like a coward.
