"Before you die, you will also be able to see the true powers, and it will not be in vain for you to live. As soon as the words fell, an electric snake rushed into Shi Tao's head, and Shi Tao's eyes instantly lost their vitality.

"Is this the power of the supernatural!" Huai An saw in his eyes, secretly surprised in his heart.

As soon as the old man with a pipe let go, Shi Tao's body lay on the ground. Everything fell silent.

"Father-in-law, he was so sincere when he first came in, why didn't his father-in-law take him as an apprentice?" Huai'an looked at the old man with a pipe suspiciously.

"Hehe, silly boy, the most important thing in accepting apprentices is to examine the character. At first, I pretended to be an overseer and asked you to work as a coolie, but at first I just thought it was fun, and I wanted to tease a silly boy and be lazy by the way. It was shocking to find out later that you weren't digging more ore every day because I was the overseer. In those six months, day after day, such a large amount of labor, out of compassion, you not only did not refuse, but also did not complain for half a year. It is difficult for ordinary people to do it, so if you have outstanding character, I am willing to accept you as an apprentice. ”

"Then how does the father-in-law know that Shi Tao's character is not good?"

"Since you asked, take this opportunity to teach you a good lesson today. Look at a person's character, first look at the face, when you walk the rivers and lakes in the future and see more people, you can see a rough idea nine times out of ten. Because everyone's personality and way of speaking and doing things will invisibly change his physiognomy. Whoever always uses his mind to make bad moves, his eyes will not be able to shine with righteousness. People who are often angry and angry, you can see that there is a big word "fire" written between his eyebrows. Those sinister and cunning people, although their usual faces look no different from normal people, they will inadvertently reveal a cruel gaze, just like Shi Tao. Physiognomy is just a rough look at people, and the most important thing is to see what he says and does. ”

The old man with the pipe continued, "But it's not about what he usually says and does, just like the pile of nonsense that Shi Tao said when he came in just now. It depends on what he said and did in a critical situation, what he said and did at a particularly important juncture, what he said and did when his true emotions were revealed, for example, when he talked about what topic, his eyebrows would flutter, and the emotions and movements of the whole person had obvious changes. ”

After a pause, the old man with the pipe continued, "Look at people in the subtle, and look at people in the invisible!"

"Remember, father. Huai'an said seriously.

"Like the conversation I had with Shi Tao just now, I just kept rejecting him, deliberately provoking him, and seeing how he would react and say in a state of anger and extreme disappointment. If he can leave respectfully and patiently, then he has passed the first hurdle, and I will continue to observe him for a while before making a decision. ”

"If he can leave respectfully and patiently, doesn't it already show his character, and why does his father-in-law still observe him?" asked Huai'an, puzzled.

"Hahahaha, say that you are a stupid boy, he can leave today in anger and extreme disappointment, it is possible that he is a sincere and cultivated person, and it is possible that he is a person with strong restraint and endurance and deep city, this kind of person is even more terrifying. But no matter what kind of person you are, you can leave quietly today, and you have already passed my first hurdle. The following investigation is just to determine his character more accurately. ”

"Father-in-law, if this person has strong restraint and endurance and a deep sense of the city, and he has also passed the later tests, will you still take him as an apprentice?"

"Yes, because if he can pass the test again and again, at this time, either he is a simple and upright person, or he is a scheming and a great evil person with a sword hidden in the heart of the city, but the boundary between these two kinds of people is indistinguishable. ”

The old man sighed and continued,

"The big fake is like the truth, and the big treachery is like loyalty!"

"This kind of person can't see clearly for ten or twenty years, and you can only really see his face at the moment when you are stabbed by the sword hidden deep in his heart. The old man said wistfully, as if recalling a lot of the past.

"Is it true to be a traitor?" asked Huai'an very puzzled.

"Child, now you don't need to understand these two sentences, these are two very deep sentences, and you need to experience them with decades of experience. I can only tell you that sometimes the real things are not necessarily true, and sometimes the good and the evil, the treacherous and the loyal, seem to be not very clear, but the essence behind them is very different. It requires you to think carefully and discern with enough patience and keen observation. ”

"The most difficult thing in the world to understand is the human heart!"

"I see, father-in-law. I will definitely remember every word taught by my father-in-law today. Huai'an said seriously.

"Having said all this, it's time for us to deal with the matter in front of us, and I'll mobilize the energy of heaven and earth to burn this corpse into nothingness. Saying that, the old man with a pipe prepared for luck.

"You can't burn it, father. If the stepfather had burned his body like this, the soldiers in the Nine Wells would have thought that he had escaped, and ten innocent people would have been killed again. Huai'an said, taking the old man's arm by the pipe.

"Yes, silly boy, I didn't expect to think of such a small and distant thing, old man, I have grown!" said the old man with a smile.

"And what do you think you should do?" asked the old man with the pipe.

"Gotta disguise him as if he had died in an accident. ”

"Okay, bring me a stone, and I'll make a scoop for him. ”

After that, the old man with the pipe was about to smash the stone that he had handed over. Huai'an hurriedly covered his eyes with his hands. Seeing this, the old man of the pipe stopped.

"Come on, you smash it. The old man with the pipe handed the stone over.

"Ah, father-in-law, isn't this good?" Huai'an said in a panic.

"Do you still want to avenge your mother, don't you dare, how can you avenge your mother. ”

Hearing this, Huai'an took the stone, but his hand was still hesitant.

"A man, you are going to do great things in the future, in this troubled world, if you want to do great things, you have to stand on the pile of dead people, don't dare to do big things for this little thing, smash it for me!" the old man of the pipe ordered loudly.

Huai'an raised his hands nervously, he wanted to avenge A-Niang, he wanted to do big things, he wanted to be strong, but in his heart it was like a big hand grabbing his hand so that he couldn't move.

"Think about the people who killed your mother, have they ever been soft? Do you think about those who have abused your people to death, have they ever been merciful? Do you think about the people who were beheaded that day, did the people who killed them hesitate? Smash it!" the old man with a pipe shouted loudly.

At this time, Huai'an was already in tears, and his raised hands kept trembling. He was only a teenager at this time.

"In this troubled world, if you want to live, if you want to live, you must be ruthless, more ruthless than others, cowardice will kill you, don't hesitate, be ruthless, don't hesitate, smash down. If you want to be stronger, right today, right now. Smash down, smash!" shouted the old man with a pipe excitedly. At the same time, he pressed Huai'an's hands vigorously. The moment the stone in Huai'an's hand touched Shi Tao, Huai'an kept waving the stone in his hand like crazy, just like when he used a pickaxe to chisel a stone frantically to create sparks, one after another.

He smashed his head and smashed his former self!
