Chapter 2: The Old Man
Although Li Xiao was shocked, he was still sensible, and looked around with a heavy face. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
The red light in the blood cell shimmered, there was an obvious smell of blood, but it was not strong and pungent, it would not make people feel that kind of nausea, "woo" and from time to time there would be a howl like a wolf, and a roar like a ghost.
It was like hell, and there were terrible screams, but there was no such ferocious, smoky miasma, and on the whole, the place was peaceful, at least there was no danger.
This blood ball is really huge, the internal space is the size of more than half a football field, it is certain, Li Xiao walked cautiously and observed, wanting to know what kind of thing this is, beyond common sense.
"Could it be...... Is it a mythical monster? At this time, Li Xiao remembered some questions he usually thought about, he was also a half-theist, and he still liked to explore some myths that had been handed down from Pangu Kaitian, anyway, he was sure that this was by no means high-tech or something.
"Absolutely...... It's true," the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, Li Xiao's breathing began to become short, all this that happened now was really incredible, it couldn't be explained, he could only plan to the legend of gods and ghosts, no, it's not a legend, think about it, at this moment, he is even more convinced that there are indeed people with great powers in ancient times.
What's more, he didn't quite believe that the ancestors of ancient times had such a rich imagination.
Li Xiao's expression was complicated, there was excitement and heaviness, after all, he didn't know what would happen, would there be any accidents? He moved and observed step by step, a little nervous but not scared, I can't be sorry for our 1.8 meter tall! We still look a little mighty and ferocious!
"Nothing, huh? It's weird! "In the past almost an hour, Li Xiao didn't know how many times he had turned in this giant ball, but nothing appeared in the ball except for some anomalies that had before! I don't know what the hell this ball is made of.
"I'll go, uncle, what is this? You can't keep it locked up all the time! I looked at the phone, and couldn't help but burst into foul language, at this time it was already night, and a day had passed, and my stomach was constantly gurgling, but unfortunately the mobile phone in my hand had no signal at all except for the normal display.
"I don't know what's going on outside now, it's been so long, there's no movement, isn't there anything outside thinking about doing something to this giant ball?"
With such a movement from the blood cells, there must have been a big earthquake outside! Hordes of journalists, hordes of policemen, hordes of onlookers. Of course, maybe the relevant authorities have already blocked the information, no matter what, but why has there been no movement for so long, is it really strange?
"What? Hungry? ”
Suddenly, a voice sounded, and Li Xiao, who was already hungry, was so frightened by this sudden words that he suddenly shuddered, and quickly stood up, his heart was beating wildly, he was really frightened, it was too sudden.
And after so long, there has been no abnormality, suddenly someone speaks, or in such a strange place, if others are estimated to have rolled their eyes and fainted in fright!
Li Xiao was still quite awake, and he didn't rush around, but quickly rushed out two or three meters away, and then turned around with his eyes wide open, because the sound came from his back, and it was next to his ears, so he had such a reaction.
Li Xiao's pupils opened suddenly, just behind the position he had just now, at this time, an old man with white hair was sitting cross-legged suspended in mid-air, wearing a white robe, with crane hair and a childish face, but there was a charm of fairy wind bones, which was a little out of place with this scene!
"You...... Be? Li Xiao's voice trembled a little, this time he was really a little nervous, because this may be a great supernatural person, at this point, even a fool will not believe in any atheism anymore!
"Calm and calm, no need to be nervous," the old man had no expression on his face calmly, but his tone was understated, a little ridiculous.
Li Xiao was speechless in his heart, but he didn't show it, although the old man was calm, his tone was also exaggerated, as if he had no scruples, but Li Xiao didn't dare to take it lightly, the old man gave him a depressed feeling, and his intuition told him that this was a wolf in sheep's clothing!
"You are very good, do you want to be my apprentice?"
"Be your apprentice?" Li Xiao lost his color, and he didn't have any scruples, and shouted out, it was too sudden.
"Well, that's right, I chose you,"
"You chose me? Needless to say, you made it all up! Li Xiao was a little excited, a little helpless, this movement is too exaggerated!
"This ...... This ......" Li Xiao was a little excited, and the old man spoke before he finished speaking.
"What is this, you still hesitate, thinking that my blood ancestor is incomparably powerful and spans the universe, how many people want to worship under my door? You ......"
"No, you misunderstood...... Li Xiao hurriedly explained, it turned out that what he wanted to say just now was that this happiness came too suddenly, because he was excited and didn't say it, causing the old man to misunderstand that he wanted to refuse.
Li Xiao is really excited, he has always been calm, he is also excited at the moment, this is going to take a different path! How can you be calm?
But......
"No, no, I'm not your apprentice? Let me out! Li Xiao's expression was serious, and his mood calmed down, which was completely different from the excitement just now.
"You really don't want to," a smile appeared on the old man's calm face, and in the face of Li Xiao, who suddenly changed his mind, not only did he not get angry but laughed, but this smile was a little weird and a little evil.
"Even if you don't plan to let me go, I won't do such a cruel thing," Facing the old man's demeanor, Li Xiao still resolutely stood his ground and did not change.
Li Xiao admitted that he was really excited to be accepted as an apprentice by the old man just now and embarked on a different path, but he had his own principles and took a right path.
It turned out that just now after Li Xiao agreed, the old man told him about the cultivation method to be passed on to him, and Li Xiao's attitude changed greatly after learning about it, it was actually an evil crooked way, which was by sucking the essence and blood of other cultivators, and constantly getting stronger, so he refused with righteous words, even if he annoyed the old man!
The law of the jungle is an eternal definition, and I believe that of course the monks are fighting and killing each other, but sucking the essence and blood is too evil, and it is simply the work of evil and crooked people.
"Okay, I'll let you go," the old man didn't seem to intend to embarrass Li Xiao, with a wave of his hand, a large mouth appeared on the edge of the giant ball, and a faint light shot into it, obviously leading to the outside world, but the old man still had that mysterious smile on his face.
"Thank you," Li Xiao came to a fist to show his gratitude, and then was about to leave with a big stride, when the old man suddenly spoke again.
"I know your character very well," the old man smiled lightly.
Hearing this, Li Xiao paused, but then walked up again.
"You are always thinking about life and trying to find the meaning of life," looking at Li Xiao in the distance, the old man still spoke, without stopping.
"Actually, this is just an excuse you gave yourself, what is the meaning of life, what is life" The old man spoke faster, and he spoke: "This is just to cover up your mediocrity, because you can't do it, so you don't dare to think about money, power, and women."
"What a noble goal is just a cover for your incompetence, because you have low self-esteem, so you always have a smile on your face that you think it can give you confidence, but in fact, you just don't want others to see your helplessness and weakness."
Li Xiao walked step by step, but the steps were heavier step by step, and he found that he didn't seem to have the courage to go to which exit.
"You are very afraid of losing your girlfriend, you can't give her what she wants, you spend every day in the midst of gains and losses, and you are afraid that your girlfriend will leave with the rich second-generation Zhang Yu that day, so after his death, you are extremely happy in your heart and solve a big problem."
The old man said unceremoniously with a smile on his face, really shocking, and he didn't mean to stop.
"Enough, don't say it again," Li Xiao roared and turned his head, roaring loudly, one meter eight tall, the pestle was like a human bear there, and he no longer had a trace of jealousy of the old man in his heart, even if he was really a wolf.
"Isn't that right? I'm just talking about the facts, although one died, but there are many rich second generations, you have to be afraid every day," the old man still spoke with thorns in his words, but he was not annoyed by Li Xiao's demeanor.
"Come with me! I'll take you to see the real big world, that's where you change, it's just a backwood, how can you achieve anything? It's just a frog at the bottom of a well! The old man put away his smile and spoke calmly.
"I said I wouldn't go with you," Li Xiao clenched his fists and turned to leave.
"Release your heart, untie yourself, don't bind it, that's who you really are," the old man smiled slightly.
walked out, to Li Xiao's surprise, there was no one outside, and what surprised him even more was that it seemed that time had returned to the starting point, not long after the sun rose, the giant ball had long disappeared, and everything around him was back to normal, as if nothing had happened.
But Li Xiao knew very well that everything just now was true! This change in time must have been the work of the old man.
Putting away his depressed mood, Li Xiao prepared to go to work.
"This is your salary this month, you won't use it in the future, yes, it's not good to offend anyone, you have to offend Zhang Dashao,"
As soon as Li Xiao came to the company, he was notified by the manager that he had fired the squid.
Back at the rental house, my girlfriend had already gone to work, looking at this small room full of miscellaneous items, I felt very uncomfortable, this desk, which occupied most of the room, was full of photos of the two, Li Xiao looked at them one by one, and the tears in his eyes fell unconsciously.
"Hey, why did you leave work so early today?" Li Xiao's girlfriend came back from work and opened the door, and was a little surprised to see Li Xiao lying a little sluggish on the bed, because Li Xiao's work time is twelve-hour.
"I got off work early today," looking at his beautiful girlfriend, Li Xiao put away his mood.
"Hee-hee, hard work, make your favorite braised pork tonight",
"It's better to be my wife," Li Xiao smiled slightly, but there was a sourness hidden in this smile.
……
"Well, my wife's braised pork is the best, and you can eat it too, wife, I'm almost finished!"
"Got it, you're a man, you need to eat more"
"Husband, is there something wrong with you? Why do you feel a little unhappy? The two were lying on the bed, and Li Xiao's girlfriend felt that something was wrong and asked worriedly.
"It's okay, it's just that I've been too busy at work recently," Li Xiao hugged his girlfriend and forced a smile, but a teardrop dripped from the corner of his eye, because he turned off the light and turned his back to him, so his girlfriend didn't find out.
"Then go to bed early."
"Well, good night, wife."
All night, Li Xiao didn't sleep, thinking......
