Chapter 55: A Knife
The rain in the Gu forest is getting heavier and heavier.
The rain crashed against the ground with a ticking sound.
The rain seemed to engulf and drown the dark world.
The boy walked calmly in the rain.
Blood mixed with rain spilled from his shocking wounds.
Hunger, cold, and death follow us like maggots on tarsal bones.
He clutched the dagger in his hands tightly, one with "Sheng" engraved on it, and the other with "Han" engraved on it.
He was already weak, but he still held the two daggers.
He knew that this would be his only hope of surviving in the dark jungle.
yes, I have to live.
Xiaohan, you have to live too.
Thinking about this, the boy finally couldn't hold it anymore and fell into the heavy rain.
......
Liu Sheng woke up again from the dream that had plagued him for years.
Xiaohan?
His eyes glistened with blood, and the two daggers he had always carried with him were once again taken out of his arms and held in his hands.
He frowned, staring at the handwriting on the dagger.
It was getting late, and there was no candle flame in the room, but the rich night did not affect his vision.
I don't know when he had this ability.
He couldn't remember who Xiao Han was, or the only thing he remembered was Xiao Han's name other than his own Liu Sheng's life, but other than that, all the memories of the past in his mind had long since vanished.
And, of course, that dream.
The pouring rain, the dark forest, and the boy who was faintly lying in a pool of blood.
Who is he? the owner of this dagger, or is he his closest relative?
Liu Sheng couldn't think of it, but he was always troubled by it.
He felt that he should go and meet him, to answer all his questions about it.
Undoubtedly, this is important to him.
......
"Are you thinking about the past again?" a murmur sounded in the darkness.
Liu Sheng raised his head and looked in the direction where the voice came from.
The man was dressed in a black robe, and his body almost blended into the rich night in the room, even with the ability to see night vision, Liu Sheng still couldn't see the man's face clearly, but he knew who he was.
He felt the breath coming from the man's body, and his eyebrows furrowed.
"Deacon Yuan... Oh, no, should I call you Judge Yuan now?" Liu Sheng put away the two daggers without revealing a trace, and said in a deep voice.
"It's just a name, you can call me whatever you want. The figure in the darkness said lightly.
"How are things going in the Xia Dynasty?" and then the figure asked again.
Cui Ting gained power and retook Longzhou, and the next step was to petition the imperial court again to leave Jizhou. Liu Sheng stood up and responded.
"Chen Guo. The figure in the darkness spat out two words that had nothing to do with the conversation.
Liu Sheng's body was shocked, and he looked at the man in confusion.
"The Mujia Army on the Stegosaurus Pass has suffered heavy losses, and the Great Yellow City is in ruins, this opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity..."
"Chen Guo. But the figure in the darkness didn't mean to discuss it, and he spat out the words again.
Liu Sheng frowned: "Is this what the Ten Hall Yamas mean?"
There was a sudden silence in the room.
After a few breaths, the candle flame in the room suddenly lit up, and the black aura around the figure immediately dissipated, and Liu Sheng finally saw the appearance of the figure clearly at that time.
Of course, he still looks like that, and he hasn't changed, what has changed is that his big red python robe has long been replaced by a white brocade robe embroidered with a black evil dragon.
The man looked at Liu Sheng, his scarlet lips raised slightly, and said with a smile: "I am Yan Luo." ”
"How..." Liu Sheng suddenly showed a strong look of shock in his eyes when he saw the clothes on that person's body.
"Let me think about it, what did that guy from Emperor Song Yama tell you? Say I'm a spy of Tiance Mansion? Say you have to be on guard?" The man seemed to have expected Liu Sheng's shocked expression, he smiled faintly, and paced lightly in front of Liu Sheng.
It is true that Emperor Yama of the Song Dynasty once said to Liu Sheng, or that at the top of the Senluo Palace, the fact that Yuan Xiucheng was a spy of the Tiance Mansion was a tacit matter in itself.
It is an incredible thing that such a spy can sit in the position of the Ten Halls Yama, no matter how you look at it.
"So what? King Jizo trusts him, or he understands it, so—" The man stopped, he stretched out his hand and gently touched Liu Sheng's eyebrows, and the green tendons on his slender and white arms were coiled like poisonous snakes. "Go and tell Cui Ting that what he wants to attack is not the Sword Dragon Pass, but the Changwu Pass of Chen Guo!"
When he said this, the man's mouth clearly had a faint smile, but a calm momentum enveloped Liu Sheng.
Liu Sheng was silent for a long time, and finally nodded obediently.
"Yes. He replied in a deep voice.
When Yuan Xiucheng heard this, he smiled, and he withdrew the finger he had pressed on Liu Sheng's forehead, and at the same time, the terrifying power that shrouded Liu Sheng's body also disappeared at that time.
"Da Zhou has Zhu Xian's kid here, sooner or later it will be in the bag of my Senluo Palace, but Chen Guo's Meng Ke is a difficult bone to gnaw..."
The man said again.
These words made Liu Sheng's face change slightly, the man actually didn't need to explain this to him, but he said it seemingly casually, it seemed to be a kind of teaching, the man seemed to see his doubts, and continued: "Do a good job, the king of Jizo values you very much, this matter is done, and the Ten Palaces Yama has your position." ”
Liu Sheng didn't care about the so-called position of Yama, but once he became the Yama of the Ten Palaces, it meant that he could mobilize the vast majority of the power of the Sen Luo Palace, so it would no longer be so difficult for him to figure out his background.
He looked at the man in front of him with heavy eyes, and finally said to the other party, "Thank you." ”
"Okay, the next thing about Daxia will be left to you. The man did not respond to Liu Sheng's gratitude, he smiled faintly again, and was about to leave.
"Aren't you staying?" Liu Sheng was stunned for a moment, now that the Senluo Palace had just gained a firm foothold in Great Xia, how could the palace feel at ease to completely put the matter here in his hands, and not send a Yama to supervise it? This is inevitably a little unreasonable.
"I still have some important things to do, if I have time, I can see the grand occasion of the Chen Xia War with you. ”
"What's important?" Liu Sheng frowned again, the situation in Great Xia was related to the next step of the Senluo Palace, and he really couldn't think of anything else like this.
When the man heard this, he raised his eyes and looked to the south at that time, and his eyes were so deep that he seemed to be able to pass through the mountains and reach the majestic school palace.
"Take a look, the last and most brilliant knife in the world. ”
