It was still the same tombstone, thick with vicissitudes of life and ancient and clumsy. Xu Sheng watched it quietly until late at night.
There was no sound, and the world was silent. Xu Sheng approached the tombstone and stroked it gently. The cold and lubricating feeling penetrated from his fingertips to his heart.
"Come out, I have something to talk to you about." Xu Sheng didn't look very good. He was surprised to find that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't make the stone tablet change at all.
The tombstone remains the same, silent and motionless.
"how come?"
Xu Sheng's face was filled with astonishment. He clearly remembered the moon-white light that almost broke through the sky when he touched the tombstone for the first time a year ago.
But now...
"Hiss" his finger was bleeding, and Xu Sheng bit it cruelly. He solemnly put the bright red dot on the stone tablet.
Unfortunately, there is no difference.
"Come out, I really have something important to discuss." Xu Sheng raised his voice a little higher. He believed that the weirdo would hear it. In the past year, he always felt like being spied on, and since the weirdo
If you call him a "perfect faker" and think he is very useful, then it is absolutely impossible not to pay attention to him.
He stood in front of the tombstone for most of the day. The weirdo wouldn't know anything about it.
"Are you really not coming?"
Xu Sheng whispered secretly, then gritted his teeth, picked up a stone from the side, and threw it down ruthlessly.
The sound of "ding!" was like the collision of gold and stone. The tombstone was indeed not made of ordinary stone. Xu Sheng used all his strength. With one blow, the stone suddenly fell into pieces. The stone stele trembled three times in succession, but the weirdo still didn't.
Appeared. Xu Sheng leaned over and looked, there was not even a mark on the tombstone.
This monument is really unusually strong!
Xu Sheng's idea is actually very simple. If the weirdo insists on not showing up, he will destroy the tombstone. Considering how much the weirdo attaches importance to the tombstone, Xu Sheng doesn't believe that he can keep calm.
However, it is obvious that it is quite difficult to destroy this object.
Naturally, Xu Sheng would not give up easily. He held his breath and saw that the tombstone was as solid as iron and undamaged, which made him even more upset. He searched around and finally lifted up a stone half the size of a man.
Dunzi.
"ah--!"
Xu Sheng shouted, invisible secret power circulated around his body, and the stone pier was thrown away, carrying a strong wind.
"Boom!"
This time it was not the sound of metal and stone colliding. The huge sound pierced through the silent night sky, shaking people who were deep in dream for miles around.
Simply taking the risk, Xu Sheng threw away his arms and smashed all the large and small stones on the tombstone. The continuous sound was like thunder.
"Come on, come on." An old voice suddenly sounded in Xu Sheng's ears. When he turned around, the weird man was behind him.
"You're finally here." Xu Sheng gasped and said, clutching his chest.
"I can't do it if I don't come." The weirdo showed a strange smile and said in a deep voice: "You are really a fool. This stone tablet has survived thousands of years without any damage, so how can it be broken by ordinary stones? How can you do it if I suppress it?
Caused this tombstone to move?"
"Since all I have done is useless, why are you here? Just to ridicule?" Xu Sheng raised his eyes and asked, he was really afraid and disgusted with this weirdo.
"For the creatures underground, after all..." The weirdo hesitated and took a deep breath.
"The creatures underground?!" Xu Sheng's expression suddenly changed, and he felt that his strength had recovered a little. Although he was no longer panting, his breathing became more serious.
Isn’t there a mass grave underground? Why are there still living beings? Do the so-called living beings refer to those innocent souls?
Xu Sheng was full of questions, but he didn't dare to ask. Besides, he had more important things to solve.
"Love, ha! Ha! Ha!" The weirdo took a deep look at Xu Sheng, then laughed continuously and waved his hand. For a moment, Xu Sheng felt that the world was spinning, the sky was dim, the earth was dark, and his eyes and ears had become decorations, and he could no longer see.
, can’t hear it either.
When he regained his sight and hearing again, he was no longer in "Tianchi Garden". There was a slight light in the dark room, and the weirdo was sitting in front of Xu Sheng, on a rusty bronze seat, with a playful smile on his face.
"Senior" Xu Sheng struggled to say two words. Firstly, weirdos really gave him a strong oppression; secondly, he really didn't know what to call weirdos. To be fair, in Xu Sheng's heart, he only felt disgust for weirdos. But
Now that the situation has arrived, he has something to ask for and can only do something against his will.
"Senior?" The fun on the weirdo's face became more intense, and he said with profound meaning: "I can't bear the title of senior, just call me old monster."
"Don't dare!" Xu Sheng was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. He had guessed before, but now he was sure that the weirdo really had the ability to spy into people's hearts.
"Hey! Hey!" The weirdo chuckled. Looking at Xu Sheng's silence, he slowly said: "I know what you want to do here. As you expected, I do have that ability. As long as I give an order, don't say anything.
Now that the Liu family is here, not even the current emperor would even think of bringing that little girl into his room."
"I hope seniors can help me."
Xu Sheng saluted deeply, thinking: I just want the weirdo to help me. Not to mention saluting, he would even kneel down and kowtow.
Some people may feel shameful about Xu Sheng's mentality at this time, but Xu Sheng is not a great man. He considers himself an ordinary man, and he will bow his head.
In this world, how many people have never knelt down? When his parents died, Xu Sheng knelt and kowtowed in front of the official and asked for a thorough investigation; when his brother was killed, he also knelt at the official's feet and asked for leniency; now, for Xu Lizi,
, he was also willing to kneel down.
Dignity is very important, sometimes even higher than life, but if a person puts dignity first at all times, he probably doesn't have to live anymore.
Everyone will experience the humiliation of "dignity" several times, and there will always be something that overrides dignity. For example, the life happiness of a woman he loves.
"Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!" The weirdo laughed wildly and sarcastically. Coupled with the feeling of oppression on her body, Xu Sheng couldn't lift her head at all. The weirdo laughed for a while, suddenly stopped, and said sternly:
"Although I have that ability, why should I help you?"
"Because..." Xu Sheng paused, "I am useful to you."
"So?" The weirdo stood up, glared angrily, and shouted angrily: "You are threatening me!"
"No." Xu Sheng stood up straight with great effort, "But if you insist on thinking that way, it's not a bad idea."
"Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!" Laughing one after another like all ghosts howling together, Xu Sheng frowned, worried. The temperament of a weirdo is really hard to figure out. If there is one bad person, let alone Xu Lizi, it is himself.
There is no way to survive.
This matter is really not easy to deal with, but for Xu Sheng, he has only one way.
"What you said makes sense." The weirdo smiled and regained his composure. He took his time and said as if he didn't care, "I want to know what you would do if I disagreed?"
"Then I..." Xu Sheng closed his eyes, gathered a lot of energy, and said in a trembling voice: "There is only one way to die!"
"Do you dare? Do you have the determination?"
"Maybe"
"Let me see your determination." The weirdo's face suddenly became serious, his tone was unquestionable, he flicked his long sleeve, and a dagger fell in front of Xu Sheng.
"good"
Xu Sheng grabbed the dagger, raised it little by little, and slowly aimed it at his heart. For a moment, his heart felt as if it was still water.
With just one knife, he could end his humble and incompetent life; he would no longer have to think about so many sad things; he would no longer be oppressed and exploited by weirdos.
Just one knife.
The knife must be done quickly without any hesitation. The more hesitates, the more pain he will suffer. Xu Sheng did not want to suffer, he had had enough.
Death is not necessarily a bad thing. Xu Sheng comforted himself that after all, he was not living a happy life. His parents died, his brother's whereabouts were unknown, his future was dim, and he was being manipulated by others. He really had nothing to worry about.
.
As for Xu Lizi, Xu Sheng smiled and said he was not worthy.
He moved, exerting force with his hands and tightening his muscles. Not only his body, but also all the "invisible secret power" on his body was mobilized.
Once this knife falls, he will definitely die.
Farewell, this life.
He thought this way, the tip of the knife was pointing towards the heart, the speed was unparalleled.
"Ding!"
Xu Sheng felt his fingers tremble and the dagger fell down.
"There is no need to die." The weirdo looked at him straightly, his eyes were breathtaking, and he said in a deep voice: "That little girl from the Xu family does not need to get married."
"Thank you very much"
"snort!"
The weird man stood up, flicked his long sleeves, and a stream of black smoke came out of thin air. Xu Sheng was caught in the black smoke and flew into the air. His eyes were completely covered and he could not see anything.
"Boom!"
When the black smoke dissipated, Xu Sheng was thrown heavily to the ground. He struggled to get up and looked around carefully. Although the scenery in front of him felt strange to him, it seemed that he was still in Xu's house.
The weirdo is determined not to let him go, he is still useful.
But... Xu Sheng rubbed his neck and smiled, Xu Lizi finally got her wish.
Xu grew up not ugly, with fine features, fair skin and a kind face. He was somewhat handsome when he smiled. However, the smile did not stay on his face for too long and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
There is only one thing to be happy about, but there are many things that make him worry. Xu Sheng thought: If he offends the weirdo this time, the future may become even darker.
It's okay for now. After all, weirdos still have other uses. But what happens after it's used up? Xu Sheng didn't dare to think deeply, and he couldn't help but have some feelings of "people are just knives and slaves, and I'm fish and meat".
At this time, the weirdo was still in the forbidden area, with a particularly gloomy expression. He had not been threatened by anyone for many years, but today he was threatened by a young boy. He hated being threatened, and that feeling would always open the valve of his memory.
, let him remember that unbearable past.
If he hadn't wanted to use Xu Sheng to obtain something crucial, he would have trampled Xu Sheng under his feet without hesitation, cut off his head, gouged out his eyes, and asked:
"Why do you dare to threaten me?"
Blackmail!
The weirdo didn't like such words. His teeth "clacked" and he was about to be bitten to pieces. What he didn't understand was: why a young man in his early twenties would be so decisive in the face of death. After all, he was lingering on his last breath and gave up.
I have acquired so many things just to live.
He doesn't understand Xu Sheng, and he never will, because they are two completely different people.
Three days later, when Xu Lizi heard the news that the Liu family had canceled their marriage, she was extremely shocked. In her impression, this was an unprecedented first for the Liu and Xu families.
How could such a thing happen? Xu Lizi couldn't react at the moment. It was completely unreasonable, not to mention the Liu family's old man's greed for her, even if he took his face into consideration, it shouldn't be like this. From the regret of the marriage, it was revealed that the Liu and Xu families
The news of discord will obviously cause quite a stir. According to the Xu family's usual practice, they would rather pay a thousand taels of gold than let the Liu family give away the "Xu family".
“Xu Sheng!“
Xu Lizi secretly recited something. Although she was still hesitant, she was very sure in her heart. She clearly remembered Xu Sheng's promise to her and his determination at that time. Moreover, besides Xu Sheng, Xu Lizi really couldn't think of anyone else.
Will help her in this matter.
Only Xu Sheng
Xu Lizi was already sure, and she was lost for a long time, with tears flowing down unconsciously. Then she burst into laughter again and murmured: "
How the hell did that nerd do it?”
Shaoyao was jumping happily in the yard. She didn't think too deeply about it, she was just happy that the young lady didn't have to become a monk.
It's mid-summer, and the flowers and trees are in full bloom. The cicadas on the trees are "
He kept chirping, as if he was doing his best. Xu Sheng was sitting in the yard, listening quietly.
