Chapter 16: A Dream (I)
"Zhang Qin, a gentleman like you, even if you take the exam ten more times, you won't have the slightest chance of being promoted." Hong Renkun stretched out his hand and angrily pointed at the evil young man in front of him and said.
"Yo? It's a lot of guts. If you don't get hit, you're just a peasant in the countryside, and you dare to talk to Young Master Ben like this? Come on, hit me, hit me hard, beat me until you beg for mercy! As soon as he gave an order, several thugs behind him immediately surrounded him and punched and kicked Hong Renkun.
At this time, it was the day of the release of the list, and all the attention of the people present was on the list, and they were all crying or laughing, and they were all in a mess. No one paid attention to it at all, and there was a scholar outside the venue who was being beaten up by a few thugs.
Although Hong Renkun learned a few kung fu tricks from Heiguan, he was a scholar after all. In the face of a few thugs who make fighting and fighting every day, it is not enough to watch. So he was quickly put to the ground, and his fists fell on him like raindrops, making his thin body arch like a shrimp, and his mouth let out a series of terrible screams. Mixed in with the noisy crowd and drowned out......
"Hit! Hit me hard. As long as you don't die, what will happen to you, Young Master Ben will help you bear it. This guy actually dared to curse Young Master Ben for failing to pass the exam! Zhang Qin kept jumping and shouting beside him.
Hong Renkun held his head with both hands, so as not to be hit by them to the critical position.
"I, Hong Renkun, swore a poisonous oath!! In my lifetime, I will never be insulted by anyone again. Otherwise, the soul will be scattered, and there will be no place to bury it. His heart let out an unwilling roar, but he couldn't make a sound out of his mouth.
The thugs who beat him didn't seem to be willing to just destroy his body, and picked up several tomatoes from the vegetable stall next to him and smashed them in Hong Renkun's face. Bright red tomato juice flowed all over his face, while constantly trampling and ravaging his face with his feet. At the same time, he also sneered: "Hey, hey, hey." This is the first time Lao Tzu has beaten a scholar. It's so cool, it's so rampant. Not only to beat, but also to humiliate. ”
Hong Renkun no longer had the strength to fight back, but a pair of eyes that had become red with blood, radiating very resentful and cruel eyes, staring at Zhang Qin.
This kind of look that seemed to be a ferocious beast when it was dying made Zhang Qin a little creepy. He subconsciously took a step back and forced himself to say, "What are you looking at, hillbilly?" I didn't want to beat you to death, I just taught you a lesson. Okay, okay, call me a little longer, and let him go. ”
Hong Renkun didn't realize that when he was enduring the greatest humiliation and the storm of fists and feet, in the translucent pendant that he was wearing tightly on his chest, the bright red blood-like thing that was sealed in the dust actually seeped out. Then it wriggled and twisted like a living thing. Got into his skin......
After a long time, Zhang Qin walked away with his dog-legged gangsters, leaving Hong Renkun, covered with all kinds of vegetables and garbage, lying miserably on the street. In the end, a few candidates who happened to live in the same hotel but were selected saw that he was really pitiful, so they helped him back and took him to his own room, where he lay down on the table and sat down. After a few words of comfort, they left in a hurry - they were going to attend the celebration banquet held in the Tribute Courtyard.
Ping Pong.
Hong Renkun's support is unstable. Lying back in disarray, he lay on the cold floor. His eyes stared blankly at the ceiling of the inn, gradually becoming more and more trance-like. In the end, he was completely unconscious. There was a fist-sized area on his chest, densely packed with blood-red tendons, squirming like tentacles......
Hong Renkun, who was in a coma, gradually entered a strange hallucinatory dream......
"Me. Where am I? What's going on? Didn't I just be beaten up by that evil boy Zhang Qin and his dog's legs and then helped to the hotel? ”
Hong Renkun, who regained consciousness, found himself sitting in a wide and bright hall, surrounded by extremely exquisite decorations, not to mention magnificent, but also exuding an indescribable atmosphere. He was amazed.
"Is it a hallucination?" Hong Renkun reached out and pinched his arm vigorously, and found that there was a clear and incomparably painful sensation. It seems too real to be true!
Just when he was confused. Three huge cocks suddenly walked in from the outside!
Each one was the size of a horse, with a bright red comb on its head and claws that were so sharp that they could pierce a golden cracked stone.
This is...... Monster?!
This frightened Hong Renkun, he got up from his seat, took a few steps back in horror, and said with a pretended majesty: "What are you?!" In broad daylight, dare to appear in Lang Lang's world? ”
The three huge roosters actually opened their mouths at the same time, and they said: "You are the son of God, and now you are the order of the Heavenly Father, take you to the kingdom of heaven, and cooperate with the heavenly brother to eliminate the demon!" ”
Miko? Heavenly Father? Heaven? Brother Tian? Get rid of demons!
Hong Renkun was completely shocked by the words that came out of the mouths of these three big roosters. First I was dizzy and foggy, and then suddenly I was a little sudden. Because he thought of the translation book "Advice to the World" that he had read to promote Western Christianity, which seemed to mention these concepts translated from Chinese.
The Father is the God who is on high, and who is the "Brother Heaven" in the mouth of the rooster? Is Heaven the Heaven of Western Christianity?
For a moment, many thoughts flashed through Hong Renkun's heart, and his thoughts were chaotic.
I heard footsteps outside again, and a magnificent sedan chair carried by eight men in iron armor came in through the door. A strange wind suddenly blew in the room for no apparent reason, blowing open the curtain of the gorgeous sedan chair.
The three big roosters spoke in unison: "Please get on the sedan chair!" ”
Hong Renkun's heart was no longer as frightened as he was just now, and the strange scene in front of him made him feel that he might have had some adventure - no matter how good or bad it was, how dangerous it was, at least there was a possibility of changing his fate!
The beating and humiliation of the evil young Zhang Qin and those gangsters just now made Hong Renkun, who was already yearning for power and fame, eager to control the power of life and death of others like never before!!
"Okay."
He spit out the word steadily, and walked onto the gorgeous sedan chair with his head held high, and sat in it with some expectation and some apprehension.
"Get up! Walk! The three big roosters crowed in unison.
