Chapter 27 The world is the game, the common people are the sons
The mountain breeze gradually softened.
With the burial of Wei Xian, Xu Sheng's eastward journey also came to an end.
He raised his eyes and looked around. The shape of the mountains remained the same, and the scenery remained the same. But he clearly noticed that the mountains, rivers, vegetation, and trees in this area of heaven and earth were different and more charming.
"Is it because my mentality has changed, or is it because of the old blind man's saintly body?"
Xu Sheng muttered to himself, but couldn't think of an answer.
He stood under the jujube tree, thinking endlessly for a while, but... his thoughts were muddy. After a long while, he came back to his senses, picked up a fairly round stone from the mountain, and polished off the edges bit by bit.
With the help of "invisible secret power", I wrote it with difficulty, earnestly and with all my heart:
The tomb of my benefactor Wei Xian!
"goodbye"
Xu Sheng whispered, knelt down, and kowtowed three times toward Wei Xian's burial ground.
goodbye.
See you later.
Maybe... never see you again.
Who knows?
Xu Sheng left, walking very slowly, feeling at a loss in his heart. Really, from now on, he had to face the unknown fate alone.
Fate!
Fate ho!
Facing the passing water again, Xu Sheng stopped by the river. There is no doubt that there must be an extraterrestrial meteorite buried under the long and deep passing water! He was eager to find it and find some information from that "extraterrestrial thing"
, to confirm some of his conjectures.
But, that's not easy.
The length of the passing water is more than 600 miles, and its width is ten miles; as for the depth, he tried it, but ten bamboo poles could not reach the bottom.
How to search in such a large area?
Xu Sheng really had a headache. He was not a water person, so he wanted to find an inconspicuous stone in the large waters.
Disaster!
"Logically speaking" Xu Sheng frowned and walked beside the passing water and whispered: "The closer to the meteorite waters, the higher the water temperature will be."
He soaked his hands in the water, walked dozens of feet away, and experienced it carefully.
"well--"
After a long time, he let out a long sigh. How difficult it is! Even though his current situation is different from the past, and his six senses are far superior to ordinary people, he still cannot sense the subtle to almost non-existent difference in water temperature.
"Um!?"
Suddenly, a black spot appeared on the water. Xu Sheng looked at it carefully and saw that it was a small boat.
"Old man." Xu Sheng shouted loudly and waved.
The boat paused and stayed on the water for a long time. When the ripples were almost gone, it slowly paddled again.
The small boat was approaching little by little, and Xu Sheng could see clearly that it was the old boatman. Although it was a sunny day, he was still wearing a raincoat.
"Old man, we meet again." Xu Sheng smiled and saluted. For some reason, he had a good impression of the boatman.
"Sure enough, it's you!" The old boatman supported Hao Hao with his pipe halfway inserted in his arms, his face somewhat frightened.
It's no wonder that from the moment Xu Sheng took out the "Treasure of Yinghuo" and put it into the water, he was no longer an ordinary person in the eyes of the boatman.
Besides, he was still carrying a coffin at that time.
"Don't be afraid, old man. I don't mean any harm." Xu Sheng felt a little embarrassed because some of his abnormal actions actually scared a kind elder who was nearly 70 years old. He was really guilty.
"It doesn't matter." The old boatman took a long puff of cigarette to calm down his uneasy mood, and said hesitantly: "Are you... going to cross the river?"
"No." Xu Sheng shook his head and replied politely: "I want to ask you for advice on some things."
"Okay, I will tell you everything I know."
"Um, old man, do you know where the legendary "Treasure of Yinghuo" fell?"
"This..." The old boatman thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I don't know."
"What about the approximate location? Upstream, midstream, or downstream?" Xu Sheng still didn't give up. Although he knew there was little hope, the stakes were so high that there was no reason for him to give up.
"It should be..." The old boatman scratched his head with his cigarette rod and said with some uncertainty: "It should be... upstream."
"Oh" Xu Sheng responded, feeling overjoyed that he had indeed gained something. He couldn't restrain his excitement, breathed heavily, and whispered: "Can you be more detailed?"
"Upstream, and not within Youzhou."
"Thank you very much"
When Xu Sheng heard this, he immediately grinned. In this way, the scope was much smaller! According to his inquiries along the way, most of the upper reaches of the passing water were in Youzhou, and only a little bit was in Liaozhou.
That being the case, you can expect what you want!
"Hahahaha——" Xu Sheng laughed, saluted the old boatman again and said goodbye; then he walked up north with his head held high.
"That coffin is gone." The old boatman stared at Xu Sheng's back and said softly: "It seems that the coffin has also found its home, and this young man has also completed a mission."
"Here, this is it." After wandering beside the passing water for almost three months, Xu Sheng finally determined the approximate location of the thing that was so dear to his heart.
Right where he stood, within a radius of ten miles in front of him.
There is no way to be more precise, it has reached the limit. During the past three months, Xu Sheng spent the day in remote areas looking for people to ask; at night, he had to soak his body in the water with the light of the stars and the moon, and concentrate on feeling it.
Changes in water temperature.
He also secretly broke into the local rich family several times to read the family history. After comparing the past and the present, after many considerations, he finally found Huangtian.
"call--"
Xu Sheng took a deep breath, tried hard to control the shock in his heart, held his breath, and jumped into the water.
"boom!"
The calm passing water stirred up a wave. After three months of practice, Xu Sheng was already familiar with the nature of water. His physique has long been different from ordinary people, with "invisible charm", "spiritual vitality", "Buddhist relics", and
There are so many "other people's blood".
He is, in fact, almost a monster!
Xu Sheng did not feel how difficult it was to swim in the water. He had already taken off his clothes, along with the meteorite engraved with his name and the Nirvana Sutra, and hid them on the shore.
I saw the thin body undulating in the water, light and swift.
The further down you go, the higher the temperature becomes, and the restless air currents lift up the sand at the bottom of the river, completely blocking his sight.
"open!"
He roared in the water, and the "invisible charm" condensed in an instant, one force gathered in his eyes, and the other force turned into an air blade, cutting through the "obstacle" in front of him!
Not long after, it was over.
Xu Sheng looked around and found that although the meteorite was not here, it must be nearby.
"ah!"
He finally couldn't bear it any longer. The heat was overwhelming and burning his muscles and bones. His whole body was as red as if it had been cooked!
At this time, the "spiritual roots" and "relics" were operating on their own, emitting weak streams of energy to help him resist the heat poison that invaded his skin. At the same time, a force that disgusted him also condensed to protect his skin.
The internal organs, meridians throughout the body, and even the major and minor critical points.
Now, he feels very uncomfortable, but his life is not in danger and he will not die.
He resisted the intense heat, gritted his teeth, and slowly advanced toward the source of the heat.
Step by step, step by step closer.
"open!"
His eyes actually emitted a ray of light, and a large amount of "invisible secret power" gathered in his eyebrows!
"Ouch!"
He saw it, finally saw it! Between those two huge gray-white rock walls, there was a stone the size of a fist sandwiched.
Although the stone was unremarkable, he noticed it at a glance. It was familiar, couldn't be more familiar. For several months, he had been accompanying another similar stone day and night.
It was this stone that unveiled the prelude to his indescribable and bizarre destiny!
"I can't see clearly!"
He was too far away and couldn't read the words clearly.
"I want to go a little further."
Xu Sheng gritted his teeth and whispered, holding his breath and concentrating, mobilizing all the energy in his body, trembling, and moved forward!
"Alas!"
it hurts!
Xu Sheng was forced to hold back tears, and blood began to flow from his body.
Black blood mixed into the water, making the already dark environment even more blurry and dense.
"I must see it!"
Although his body was in pain, his will was strong. For Xu Sheng, what he could not bear was not the pain, but the fear of fate.
He wanted to see it, he wanted to see the words on the meteorite, he wanted to see the conspiracy behind the fate!
He had to see it.
"The cold night is coming, the sky is clear and the sky is clear, the yin and the yang are nowhere to be found, the mystery of life and death is unknown!"
"Hahahaha——" Xu Sheng laughed loudly in the deep water and accidentally drank a lot of scalding hot water.
Understood!
I see!
He didn't know everything, but he already understood the matters concerning the Destiny One; at the same time, he also thought clearly about the issue of the spread of "The Mysterious Art of Life and Death".
Game!
A plan to fool the world and the common people!
Xu Sheng fainted while laughing maniacally.
He understands!
In every era, there will be a so-called destined person. In this life, it is him, and the one in the previous life was Yuan Daogang, the one who suppressed the imperial power in the previous dynasty - Yuan Tianshi! In every era, a blood-colored meteorite will come.
Combining what he saw and heard in the "Dark Forest", Xu Sheng knew. He and Yuan Daogang were all selected. They were placed in the world as chess pieces and were labeled as "man of destiny". They were experimental subjects!
The owner of that big bronze hand may be the initiator of everything, or even if not, he is one of the driving forces behind the scenes. As for the "Xuan Gong of Life and Death", no matter how you look at it, it is a part of the game. All practitioners cannot escape the fate of being harvested!
A certain unimaginably powerful being selected a large number of chess pieces, and every once in a while, he would place one in the world, reveal their fate with a blood-colored meteorite, and spread the rumors of the "Destined One"!
So cruel!
The origins of this overall situation are so long ago that it is difficult to estimate! It is very possible...
At the last moment before he fainted, Xu Sheng thought of the "Source Master of Cangshan Mountain" and the symbols on the "Source Master".
If this game was related to the "Source Master", it would have lasted for at least hundreds of thousands of years!
There is a being who began to lay out his plans hundreds of thousands of years ago. This vast world is his chess game and his one-man place!
