Xu Sheng gained some consciousness, but felt that his whole body was heavy and he could not move at all.
"Are you dead?" A man's rough voice sounded, and Xu Sheng felt that his body was being violently beaten and shaken.
"It seems he is dead." A slightly childish male voice said: "Dad, take off his clothes and see if there is anything valuable on him."
"good"
Xu Sheng's clothes, which had been soaked in water for a long time, were torn apart like paper by a pair of strong and strong hands.
"Oh shit"
When he was young, the man cursed harshly: "You are a poor man who doesn't even have a copper on you."
"Alas," a young voice said with a hint of frustration, "It's a pity. If we don't have money or goods, just throw him into the river. We have wasted a lot of time."
"That's all it can do."
Xu Sheng's head and tail were lifted together. In confusion and sleepiness, he felt that something was wrong.
No!
He growled in his heart and opened his eyes.
"Hey! He's not dead!" A slightly immature male voice shouted in surprise.
"Boom!"
Xu Sheng was thrown heavily on the hard, rough, gravel-covered ground, and he spat out a large mouthful of water with a "wow" sound. He endured the severe pain, raised his heavy eyelids, and saw two figures in a daze.
One is tall and burly, the other is skinny and thin.
"Boy." The tall figure took a step forward. Xu Sheng rubbed his eyes and saw clearly that he was a middle-aged man. He saw a rough look on his face and said in a loud voice: "It was my father and son who saved him."
your."
"Thank...many thanks." Xu Sheng struggled to get up from the ground, first looked at the skinny young man behind the big man, and then bowed deeply while trembling.
"If you're being polite, it's useless to say more." The thin young man stepped forward with a somewhat unkind look on his face.
"Cough! Cough!"
Xu Sheng coughed violently and spit out water. After a while, he calmed down and said softly: "Then... I won't say thank you for the kindness, let's just say goodbye."
"Wait a minute!" Seeing him turning around and about to leave, the middle-aged man pressed his shoulders and said sternly: "You're just leaving like that?"
"Otherwise?" Xu Sheng looked back and whispered: "You two can leave your address for me to visit you in the future. I will thank you very much."
"Oh!" When the thin young man heard this, his face suddenly changed and he said sharply: "Boy, are you fooling the devil? Who knows where you are going now that you are gone. With your poor appearance, what's the big deal?
Thanks?"
"Then..." Xu Sheng paused, a little annoyed, but still tried his best to restrain himself and said slowly: "What do you two want?"
"Boy, after all, we saved your life." The middle-aged man held his head high, gasping for breath, and said with a half-smile: "If you talk about it, we are your reborn parents. Since you have no money, we
You can't just work around. Let's do this. You come with us. After you are healthy, we will buy you as a young man. At least we will get ten taels of silver in return."
"Oh" Xu Sheng lowered his head in response, his anger rising. These two people were taking advantage of others' danger and were so greedy for profit, which made him extremely sick and made him murderous!
no!
Xu Sheng tried so hard to restrain himself that his lips were bitten. He knew it was the "Xuan Gong of Life and Death" that was causing trouble, and he could not let it affect him. He did not want to lose his mind again.
"If you don't want to, we will throw you into the river to feed the fish." The young man smiled on the surface, but his tone was full of threats and his eyes were fierce.
I can't bear it anymore!
The killing intent surges and is unstoppable!
"Do you dare?" Xu Sheng's voice suddenly became hoarse and terrifying. He raised his head, his eyes as red as blood.
"You...!" Both father and son were shocked and took several steps back. The big man trembled: "What are you going to do? You are dying now. I advise you not to do anything stupid."
"Talk too much!" Xu Sheng raised his hand and pressed down lightly with his middle finger.
"Click!"
Two traces of blood streaked the sky, and then the two heads fell together, and the two corpses also fell to the ground. Then, from the necks of the corpses, two drops of blood slowly condensed, hanging in the air, and floated towards Xu Sheng.
"roll!"
Xu Sheng shouted loudly and discharged the blood with a palm, and the blood drops instantly scattered into the void.
Although you kill people, you can't be bloodthirsty!
Xu Sheng gritted his teeth. He could not accept the ugly appearance of swallowing blood, and he did not want to become a monster with other people's dirty blood flowing in his body. He could no longer follow the old path of Wei Lun and Wei Xian.
Although it cannot stop the murderous intention, it must curb the blood lust.
Xu Sheng stood with bulging veins on his face and beads of sweat on his forehead. After a long time, his eyes regained clarity.
"Huh--" He let out a long breath and looked at the two cold corpses in front of him, feeling a little uneasy. Although these two people were evil, they did not deserve to die. This time it was his fault.
"I'm sorry, you two." Xu Sheng kowtowed deeply, thought for a while, used his hand as a shovel and his fingers as a knife, dug a hole, and buried the father and son on the spot.
"It's time for me to go." Xu Sheng said softly to himself as he looked at the river water sparkling in the sun and flowing eastwards.
There is no doubt that he, who passed out in the passing water, followed the current until he arrived here. He must go back. The "Nirvana Sutra" and the "Blood Meteor" are still on the shore of the passing water.
He is so important that nothing can be missed.
"Where am I now?" After walking for a long time, Xu Sheng couldn't help but ask himself. The barren mountains and ridges were covered with bones, and he had never encountered any human habitation. This place was even more desolate and desolate than Liaozhou.
"Could it be that it is no longer in Liaozhou?" Xu Sheng speculated. According to what he learned from the villagers, the Passing Water originates from Youzhou, runs through Liaozhou, and then passes through Qingzhou and enters the East China Sea. Now maybe he has already
It's in Qingzhou.
"This trip is not going to be easy." Xu Sheng muttered, but his steps were not slow at all.
...
They marched all the way upstream from south to north, which lasted more than a month. The further Xu Sheng walked, the tighter his brows became and the more worried he became.
"There was a deadly battle here not long ago." He bent down and picked up a short sword from the ground, examining it carefully. The air was filled with the smell of blood, and there was a looming light red color on the water's edge.
After walking no more than two miles, Xu Sheng felt that his mind was exploding, and the bloodthirsty desire rushed straight into his consciousness, which was almost impossible to suppress.
"Get down!"
Xu Sheng shouted angrily, gritting his teeth to hold back the impulse. Then he raised his eyes, his mind was shaken.
On both sides of the river, there was a scene of tragedy.
But what I saw was: dead bodies piled up like mountains. Broken limbs and broken arms lay across the water's edge. The earth was bright red, and the air was filled with murderous intent. Arms, halberds and spears were inserted all over the plain.
Purgatory on earth is nothing more than this.
"I'm afraid that the two armies are fighting each other, so pity the innocent man." Xu Sheng almost stepped on the corpses. His heart was bleeding when he stepped over the broken bodies!
The dead, all dead, too numerous to count, too numerous to be devastated.
How many people died in this battle?
Tens of thousands? Hundreds of thousands? No, Xu Sheng shook his head. He walked for a long time, from dawn to dusk. It is roughly estimated that there must be hundreds of thousands of people!
Hundreds of thousands of poor people!
However, the real victims are probably far worse than this. Behind these hundreds of thousands of people, there are hundreds of thousands of broken families and millions of people crying!
"What happened? How could it be... like this...?" Xu Sheng had too many doubts, but they were destined to be unsolved. There were no human traces here, and no birds or beasts.
"This night..." Xu Sheng stopped talking and looked up at the sky. He saw the bright moon hanging high, just like in the past, as if God never cares about the world.
"Alas -" he sighed, feeling exhausted. He had no choice tonight, even if there was a pile of dead people, he had no choice but to spend the night.
Fortunately, it was already early spring and the weather was not very cold. However, with the dead bodies on the ground, Xu Sheng finally felt a little nervous.
He found a piece of flat ground, pulled away the armor of corpses around him, made a small space, and lay down wrapped in a blood-stained flag.
He couldn't sleep.
How can I sleep!
After all, it was a pile of dead people, and after all, his heart still couldn't calm down until now.
He tossed and turned for a long time, but finally gave up. He couldn't sleep at all, so he simply stopped sleeping. He looked up blankly, looking straight at the deep, dark, boundless high sky.
"How much more suffering will the creatures under the sky have to endure?" Xu Sheng asked softly, and finally smiled bitterly.
I'm afraid even God doesn't know.
Do all the disasters in this world have to be blamed on God?
God does nothing, and this has always been the case.
Xu Sheng thought of that big bronze hand again. No matter what, everything was inseparable from him.
"But he is not in heaven." Xu Sheng whispered, his heart firm, even if he could make decisions with the world, he would still be under the world after all.
"A being with ulterior motives caused people to suffer. He is the original sin, but not the whole sin."
Take Wei Li for example. It is true that he was a poor guy who was taken advantage of, but from the very beginning, when he chose to practice "Death Mystery" to kill people, he was not half-hearted.
Dynasties are changing, warlords are fighting, and aristocratic families are fighting for power. Are these all caused by that big hand? Regardless of whether he has that ability, Xu Sheng asked himself: Even without that big hand and the so-called "game", would the world be like this?
Will there be peace forever?
No, never.
But if there are people, there will be disputes. People's greed will never be quenched, and there will be endless wars in the world.
"Perhaps the 'game' is based on the lack of human nature." Xu Sheng closed his eyes, trying to find peace.
"Huh-huh-"
The mountain wind was blowing from all sides, and Xu Sheng felt a little cold. He wrapped the flag tightly around his body, losing consciousness little by little...
Suddenly, Xu Sheng, who was half asleep, felt tense all over and was sweating profusely.
There was a voice! It was intermittent and miserable.
He held his breath and did not dare to move. He squinted his eyes a little and looked around hard. At the same time, he gathered "invisible secret power" in his ears and listened with concentration.
"Jie Jie Jie, Jie Jie Jie, so much... human flesh, so much... food." He laughed continuously, like a ghost. The voice was erratic and terrifying. Xu Sheng moved slightly to the side.
He turned around and looked in the direction of the sound.
"Alas!"
Take a breath of cold air.
Under the moonlight night, among the corpses, a "monster" got down on all fours, opened its bloody mouth, exposed its sharp fangs, and sucked blood from the corpse...!
This scene was so shocking! Xu Sheng almost vomited. He quietly watched the monster approaching little by little, his heart pounding.
How to get out?
Xu Sheng was extremely calm at this moment, and his invisible secret power gathered in his right hand, ready to go.
Closer, closer!
There was a fierce look in Xu Sheng's eyes, and he was waiting for the best moment.
"How could it be?" Just before Xu Shenglin took action, he changed his mind. That monster was actually a "person"! He had the face of a handsome young man.
Xu family weirdo!
Yes, the same feeling. This monster is exactly the same as the weirdo from the Xu family, with the same young face and the same deformed body. The difference is that the weirdo from the Xu family can still stand up hunched over, but this monster is no different from an animal. Instead, it uses
Walking on all fours.
"Bang!" Xu Sheng was like an arrow, flying dozens of feet in an instant!
He couldn't beat him. If this monster was really like the Xu family weirdo, Xu Sheng thought he was invincible.
Without the bonus of "Mysterious Skills of Life and Death", even if his current cultivation level has skyrocketed, he can at best compete with the girl in green who manipulates the puppet, not even as powerful as the famous figure, let alone as powerful as that weirdo.
"Roar"
The monster roared, flicked its long tongue, and chased after it like a hyena.
"Walkers have no boundaries!" Xu Sheng whispered, and his speed suddenly increased. Without the "Xuan Gong of Life and Death", he could no longer perform many of the secret techniques that were used to kill people in the Qin family compound. Fortunately, as a means of escaping,
——He still has some impressions of some of the "strength control skills" in "Walker Without Borders".
"Brush! Brush!"
The moon and stars were sparse and the night was dark, but I saw two shadows flying under the bloody moonlit night...
