Suddenly there was a little light in the dark world.
Xu Sheng instinctively looked for the light. When he raised his head, he saw a blurry figure in front of him.
"Name"
"Xu...why should I tell you?" Xu Sheng frowned, gritted his teeth, shook his head in pain, and opened his eyes slightly. Only then did he realize that the person in front of him was the man who
Captured, an old man who is not angry but proud of himself.
"When you fall into my hands, you are like a lamb that cannot resist, a fish that is allowed to be slaughtered. There is no reason why. Whatever I ask you to do, you must do it."
"Then just kill me. I don't know anything about what you want to ask."
"Have some backbone." Qin Lie gently twirled his beard, smiled, and said playfully: "The more unwilling you are, the more I want to know."
"The more you want to know, the less likely you are to know."
"Snapped!"
Xu Sheng's face was in burning pain. Qin Lie raised his hand and slapped half of his face until it was distorted and deformed.
"Pooh!"
Xu Sheng's response was a mouthful of thick phlegm filled with blood.
"Okay, it seems that you are quite arrogant and quite confident in your own willpower." Qin Lie approached Xu Sheng and faced him, glaring angrily.
The two people were almost touching each other, their eyes facing each other. Even though it was dark here, through the dim light, they could still see... the momentum in each other's eyes!
Qin Lie's eyes were condescending and arrogant. He had the arrogance of a winner and the majesty of a superior, as if he was telling Xu Sheng: Surrender, I am the master that you cannot resist, cannot touch, and cannot defeat.
Facing me, you can only surrender.
Xu Sheng's eyes were much purer, with only persistence and obsession in them. He seemed to be saying: Never! No matter what Qin Lie wanted to do, he always gave the same answer, never!
"Okay, since you insist on this." Qin Lie took two steps back, glared at Xu Sheng fiercely, turned around, waved his big hand, and said loudly: "All punishments, as long as they are not fatal, will be given to him."
"yes"
"呲——"
The red-hot iron passed across Xu Sheng's skin.
"Crack——"
A whip dipped in cold water was whipped on his chest.
"Click——"
The rusty splint was between his fingers, squeezing his flesh and blood desperately.
...
"Ahhhh——!"
As time went by, accompanied by thousands of tortures, Xu Sheng, who was always gritting his teeth and holding his breath, could no longer bear it. He screamed loudly, like a ghost crying or a wolf howling.
...
"How about it?"
Qin Lie stood outside the hell with his hands behind his back. When he heard Xu Sheng's cry, he suddenly stopped and turned around to ask the attendants behind him.
"Fainted."
"Did he confess anything?"
"Not a word was mentioned."
"snort!"
Qin Lie waved his hand and appeared ten feet away in an instant. In the next moment, he had disappeared without a trace, leaving only a voice, "Take good care of him, give him the best medicine, and don't let him die.
"
...
At night, Qin Lie stood alone on a rockery in the Qin family compound, looking towards the west.
There, there were things he dreamed of, and he had too many obsessions. The fertile soil of Zhongzhou and the imperial power of China all fascinated him.
However, he also knows that those are too far away from him. Not only because the Qin family is weak now, but more importantly, his own strength is far from being able to compete with the ancestors of various families.
He hates that he was born in the wrong era. If it were in ancient times, with his qualifications, he could climb the holy realm; if it were in ancient times, he would be able to become a powerful person at the worst; however, in the end of the Dharma era, he can only be a person.
Famous stay.
Although in the eyes of ordinary people, celebrities are already an unattainable peak, but he knows that it is not enough, far from enough. The eight major families, except his Qin family, all have powerful people in charge.
The reason why the Yan family's Yan Cheng dared to coerce the imperial power was because he was most likely to have been canonized, and even if not, it was not far off.
However, even Yan Cheng did not dare to replace the royal family. That is because there is a mountain looming behind the royal family, and on that mountain is a heavenly master who is known as an alternative to sainthood.
Compared with famous people, they are not as powerful as others, but compared to saints, there is a huge difference.
If Qin Lie wanted to strengthen the Qin family, restore its former glory, and even compete in the Middle Kingdom and conquer China, what he needed was not only territory and soldiers, but also stronger personal strength.
Before, he was in despair. In the age of the end of the Dharma, it was difficult to reach the sky through cultivation. Even if the entire Qin family gathered their strength, they would not be able to send him into the ranks of great powers. But now, he has truly seen the light.
Xu Sheng is his hope.
There are two unimaginable, tyrannical, and vast ocean-like powers in Xu Sheng's body. If he could take them for his own...
Qin Lie clenched his fists. If he could really get what he wanted, then why would he care about the position of great power? Even a saint could compete for it!
"First acquaintance, clarity, access to the secluded world, spiritual spring, spiritual thoughts, heavenly mansion, unobstructed, extraordinary, the eight realms, and the legendary 'Reflection of the Heavens - Realm of the Gods' which cannot be cultivated or touched.
"Qin Lie whispered to himself, his eyes flickering, "When you reach the realm of spiritual thoughts, you are a great cultivator; when you enter the heaven, you are a famous person; when you reach the realm of no hindrance and your physical body is perfect, you can be called a 'great power in one life'; as for the extraordinary
, that is, becoming a saint, breaking away from the shackles of mortals, not being a god, but similar to it. Today, the status of saints is probably much higher than that of gods in ancient times. After all, ancient gods walked the world, but today’s saints are not visible.
World."
Qin Lie had already made up his mind. He was determined to use Xu Sheng as blood food, turning it into an aid for him to reach a higher realm.
He could spit Xu Sheng out in one gulp, but he would not do that. It would be too wasteful and a waste of natural resources, and he also doubted whether he could withstand such a powerful force.
He has a better plan. He wants to use Xu Sheng as long-term food. He wants to keep him in captivity and use his flesh and blood to make elixirs, which will become his capital to continuously strive for high positions.
However, it was destined to be very difficult. Qin Lie understood that Xu Sheng would not give in, and he understood it from the moment he saw his eyes. Xu Sheng would never be willing to be held captive, and he would choose without hesitation
Resistance, if the resistance is ineffective, he will use death as the final resistance.
Xu Sheng is not very afraid of death!
If Xu Sheng dies, what will happen to those two forces? Qin Lie doesn't dare to gamble. Whether it dissipates or explodes, he cannot bear it.
How can we stop Xu Sheng's self-destruction? How to do it?
Qin Lie fell into deep contemplation. This was undoubtedly a difficult problem. If Xu Sheng Ruruo wanted to die, there were so many ways that he could not stop it.
Xu Sheng could commit suicide by biting his tongue. If he put a lead stone in Xu Sheng's mouth so that he could not bite his tongue, Xu Sheng could completely go on a hunger strike. If he force-fed Xu Sheng, how long could he survive with a large amount of flesh and blood?
?
Difficult to understand!
Qin Lie frowned and stood motionless for a long time; suddenly he suddenly woke up as if he had an epiphany, and without caring about the majesty of the clan leader, he walked away and walked straight towards the "Sutra Collection Pavilion" which he had not visited for a long time and had almost forgotten.
He vaguely remembered that there was a secret method in the "Tibetan Scripture Pavilion".
In the long darkness, Xu Sheng could no longer tell the difference between day and night. He didn't know how long it had been, but he was tortured every once in a while as usual.
Every time after enduring a set of cruel and inhumane punishments, he was forced to take medicine for treatment. He didn't know what kind of medicine it was, but it usually made him more painful; however, after the pain, he would recover quickly.
In the continuous and repeated torture, he was so disheartened that he could not see any hope and had the idea of death.
He is hesitating, he is unwilling, and he is still concerned.
He could not forget the instructions given by the old blind man and Monk Hanshan. He could not forget the beautiful woman who was as beautiful as a flower in the city of Nanjun, Zhongzhou. He had not yet let the old blind man return to his hometown, and he had not yet revealed the secret behind his fate.
How could he just give up?
He cried!
Not because of physical pain, but because of heartache.
"squeak-"
The cell door was pushed open, and the old man named Qin Lie changed into white clothes and came in style; with a specious smile on his face, he said softly to Xu Sheng in a hoarse yet magical voice: "
My child, I’m sorry for you.”
My child, I’m sorry for you!
Xu Sheng's ears circled back and forth with these words for a long time. When he raised his head, he met Qin Lie's deep eyes. There was like a sea of stars in those eyes, deep and vast. Xu Sheng looked at it
Looking at it, I couldn't help but sink in.
"My child, I won't let you suffer anymore." Qin Lie's hand brushed over Xu Shengsheng's head, as gentle and kind as a teacher.
In front of Xu Sheng's eyes were countless overlapping lights and shadows, far and near, flickering and flickering. He saw many people in an instant, all of whom he was thinking about: the old blind man, the Hanshan monk, his father, his mother, his elder brother, Xu Lizi, Mu Huaijin.
..They all overlap and they all come towards me.
Xu Sheng's eyes became increasingly moist.
"My child, you are my child." Qin Lie's voice was dreamlike and full of affinity. He faced Xu Sheng and said word by word: "Qin Zhao, thank you for your hard work. I swear I will never do it again."
Already."
"Qin Zhao?" Xu Sheng repeated as if in a daze, minding his own business.
"Yes, remember, your name is Qin Zhao, you are the fifty-fourth generation of my Qin family, and my grandson." Qin Lie smiled and said softly.
"Qin Zhao?" Xu Sheng read it again, then raised his eyebrows and said in a cold voice: "You fart! Who is your Qin Zhao? I am Xu Sheng."
"you..."
"Snapped!"
Qin Lie was so angry that he slapped Xu Sheng with his backhand and left angrily...
However, the next day, Qin Lie came again, still repeating yesterday's actions and words.
Then, the third day, the fourth day, the fifth day...every day, every day. Finally, after working hard for more than a month, he finally heard the words he had always wanted to hear in his dreams.
.
Xu Sheng said to him weakly: "Chief, I am Qin Zhao."
