Chapter 40: He bets on me to win
(PS: According to the plan, it will be tomorrow, that is, the sixth day of the Lunar New Year to resume the update, but after going home, the body has been unwell, these things have been some signs before, but I don't pay much attention to it, the Spring Festival caused an outbreak because of fatigue, so I want to take time to go to the hospital tomorrow to check it, so I can rest assured, I ask for a day off again, I'm very sorry, the seventh day of the new year will definitely resume the update!!)
Xu Han fell silent again.
This time, he probably understood Chu Qiuli's mood.
It is the fluorescent light held in the boundless dark abyss, and it is also the tender shoot that is carefully cared for in the endless desert.
It doesn't help, but it's better than nothing.
It was the last glimmer of hope left in despair.
And people are sometimes so weird.
It takes a little hope to have the courage to continue crawling in this world.
"So in the thunderstorm in front of Linglong Pavilion, you saved me, right?" Xu Han asked again.
Regarding that thunder tribulation, Xu Han actually had a lot of doubts in his heart
Whether it was its arrival or its disappearance, it seemed too abrupt, and now that he heard Chu Qiuli mention it, Xu Han subconsciously thought that it was Chu Qiuli who did it.
Unexpectedly, Chu Qiuli shook his head at that time.
The pale-faced middle-aged man looked directly into Xu Han's eyes at that time, and said word by word: "Mo Chenzi is dead." ”
Xu Han's body shook immediately.
Since the change in Chang'an, Xu Han's feelings for Jianling have become complicated.
In the final analysis, his connection with Jianling stems from the encounter with the current of the sea, if all this is just a calculation and a use, then his relationship with Jianling will inevitably come to an embarrassing and delicate situation.
But Mo Chenzi treated him very well, at least until now, Xu Han couldn't find the slightest fault with him.
Hearing the news of his death, Xu Han couldn't calm down after all.
He didn't know what Chu Qiuli's intention was when he mentioned this, but Xu Han couldn't help but ask, "How did you die?"
The boy's tone was terrifyingly calm, like the low roar of some beast pressed down his throat. The light in his eyes flickered, like a lion that had been cornered, and there was no way to retreat.
And Chu Qiuli's answer was far beyond Xu Han's expectations, he said, "Because of you." ”
Xu Han obviously couldn't understand the meaning of the middle-aged man's words.
"He helped you stop that thunderstorm, and if I really did something, it was after this, to isolate your qi so that it could not find you again for a short time. And it was that thunder tribulation that destroyed Mo Chenzi's life palace. Chu Qiuli quickly spoke again, solving all the doubts in Xu Han's heart.
Of course, Xu Han knew that these things were definitely not made up by Chu Qiuli, and he had no reason to lie to him.
But he still couldn't digest the news in a short period of time.
So after a short silence, he chose to avoid this topic for the time being, and asked instead: "What about after that?
Chu Qiuli nodded and did not deny it.
"Not only him, but also Yuan Guilong and the master have my method of stealing my life, it is better to say that it is better to steal my life than to change my life. ”
Chu Qiu, who said this, couldn't help but smile bitterly again.
Perhaps it was because of the mention of some names that Xu Han did not want to face, Xu Han put away his interest in continuing to talk to the man. He finally pondered for a few breaths before he said, "Brother Chu told me so much, what is it for?"
Such words are somewhat unkind to Chu Qiuli, who has little time at the moment.
But the middle-aged man who heard this did not show anger or sadness, and some were just a wisp of inexplicable regret.
He groaned for a moment before opening his mouth again.
It's just that as time goes by, Chu Qiuli's condition is worse than breathless, and even something as simple as making a noise seems to have become extremely difficult for him at this moment.
It took him more than ten breaths before he spit the words out of his mouth: "I don't know, I want you to know this, maybe it may be useful or useless, but after all, it's the last thing I can do..."
After saying this, Chu Qiuli's face became more and more pale, as if he was on the verge of dying.
But Xu Han's gaze was surprisingly calm, and he stared at Chu Qiu for a while: "Brother Chu actually doesn't want to die, does he?"
"Huh. Chu Qiuli chuckled, his face was sad: "The blood revenge has not been avenged, how can you dare to die?"
"Then let's live well!" As soon as he said this, Xu Han's voice suddenly sounded at that time.
Then, the grim-faced young man turned around and walked out of the room without looking back.
At that time, Chu Qiuli seemed to realize where Xu Han was going, and he opened his mouth to say something, but at this time, his body had reached the point of extreme weakness, and Chu Qiuli used all his strength, but he couldn't make any sound.
......
Xu Han pushed open Mr. Wei's door.
As he expected, Mr. Wei was already sitting in the door waiting for his arrival.
Just as the other party had already expected Xu Han to come here at this time, neither side showed much surprise at this.
"Got it figured?" Without too much rhetoric, Mr. Wei asked as soon as he saw Xu Han.
"Hmm. And Xu Han also responded to Mr. Wei's question as soon as it fell.
"Do you know, the price of saving him?" Perhaps it was a line that had already been designed, or he was surprised by Xu Han's determination at this moment, Mr. Wei asked again.
"It's fair to trade your life for your life. Xu Han's face was silent.
"Fair?" Mr. Wei scoffed at Xu Han's words, and he raised his eyebrows and glanced at Xu Han: "The price you need to pay is far beyond your expectations." ”
"For example?" Xu Han's eyebrows also raised.
Mr. Wei groaned slightly before he said: "Chu Qiuli is a master disciple of the Holy Gate, proficient in the method of stealing lives, Rao is so, three lives, three causes and effects, the reason for his current situation is not only the reduction of longevity brought about by the method of stealing lives, but also the backlash brought by the great power of heaven and earth after breaking the rules." If you do this, I will help you to do it, but you will only pay for the consequences. Save him, your longevity will be greatly reduced because of the three parts of karma, how long you can live, I can't be sure, but I know that it will not be too long. Even so, would you be willing?"
Would you like to?
Xu Han also asked himself this in his heart.
He and Chu Qiu are inseparable and cannot be regarded as irreversible friends, and the two have walked all the way, although they are companions, but they have their own calculations. It stands to reason that Xu Han is far from doing this for him.
But in fact, Xu Han's heart quickly gave a positive answer to this question.
It's a very simple logic.
Xu Han was willing to fight for Qin Keqing's half of the bun in the Senluo Palace, naturally because of the life-saving grace, but more because Qin Keqing was the only warmth he felt in his long twelve years of beggar life.
People are like that.
When you have enough, some renunciation may make you sad and unwilling, but it is far more than boring.
But when what you have is taken away, you have no choice.
You can only raise your head, raise your chest, light up your not sharp claws, and say to the enemy with a smile: "Come on, fight for your life." ”
This is not the solemnity of a samurai, it is just the stubborn resistance of a lost dog.
And along the way, from a beggar to a killer, from a killer to a mansion owner, from a mansion owner to now hiding in Tibet.
Xu Han has never reached the point of having nothing, but he has never had much left.
It was this little left to lose, and every time Xu Han had to give up his life.
So, after a slight hesitation, he nodded his head again.
Such a swift and decisive response greatly exceeded Mr. Wei's expectations.
The old man with brittle shoulders at dusk glanced at Xu Han deeply, and asked again, "Why?"
This time, Xu Han's answer came faster.
His eyes narrowed, and the corners of his mouth rose: "Because..."
"He bet on me to win. ”
"So, I don't let him lose. ”
