Day 3.

When Xu Han came to Chu Qiuli's room again, Chu Qiuli's condition had deteriorated to an extremely serious level.

He sat slumped at the wooden table, where tea was spilled and cracked teacups.

He struggled to get to his feet, but it seemed doomed to futile.

Seeing this, Xu Han hurriedly stepped forward to help the pale Chu Qiuli, poured him a cup of tea, and then asked about Chu Qiuli's condition.

"Brother Chu, how do you feel?"

The middle-aged man waved his hand and said: "The king of Hades wants people to die in the third watch, how can he stay until the fifth watch, what is the difference between good and bad." ”

Xu Han was silent, he knew that Chu Qiuli's situation was clear to him better than anyone else.

Chu Qiuli, who was sitting at the wooden table, picked up the teacup, took a sip, glanced at Xu Han sideways, and suddenly smiled and said, "Xiao Han, do me another favor..."

......

According to Chu Qiuli's request, Xu Han went to the market and bought two dice Gu and several dice.

Yu Yan borrowed dozens of loose money from there, and then returned to Chu Qiuli's room.

Chu Qiuli, who took these things, smiled at Xu Han again, and then stretched out his hand to signal Xu Han to sit down on the opposite side of him.

Xu Han naturally wouldn't refuse Chu Qiuli's meaning, he sat on the side of the wooden table, looking at the man in front of him with a calm expression. After all, he stopped laughing and scolding on weekdays, just shook his hands, carefully arranged the two dice Gu, and put the dice in his hand into the dice Gu one after another.

This was not a difficult thing, but the middle-aged man used half a pillar of incense to finish it. And his forehead was covered with dense sweat because of this, but he still didn't realize it, and a happy smile appeared on his face.

After doing this, he handed one of the dice Gu to Xu Han, and then drew a piece of loose money from the pile of loose money Xu Han gave him on the table and put it in front of him, and then held the other dice Gu in his hand.

He began to shake the dice Gu, Xu Han was stunned for a moment and came back to his senses, and also shook the dice Gu in his hand.

After ten breaths, the dice Gu stopped, Chu Qiuli and Xu Han mentioned their respective dice Gu at the same time, and the things inside were displayed between the two at that moment.

Chu Qiuli, three, four, three.

Xu Han, 654.

Seeing this, Chu Qiuli shook his head with a wry smile, then handed the copper plate to Xu Han, and then put down a copper plate in front of him again, looked up at Xu Han, although he was speechless, but the urging in his eyes made Xu Han, who didn't know why, have to shake the dice Gu in his hand again.

......

Xu Han borrowed as much as seventy or eighty yuan, and every copper plate was a game, and the result was without exception, Chu Qiuli was the loser.

Xu Han gradually understood a little of Chu Qiuli's intentions, the look on his face changed from puzzled to weird, from weird to surprised, while the man sitting opposite him always looked calm and indifferent, as if all this was expected by him.

Soon Chu Qiuli lost all the money.

At that time, he carefully put the dice Gu in his hand to the side, and raised his eyes to look at Xu Han again.

It was a gaze of about 100 breaths.

Chu Qiuli's gaze was still calm, but Xu Han was a little uncomfortable.

He is not suitable for the silence of a man at the moment, and even less for the passage of every breath that means that a man is one step closer to death.

It's not bound to be an enjoyable experience.

In other words, every breath is an ordeal for Xu Han.

But he didn't say anything to break the silence that almost suffocated him.

The middle-aged man finally spoke again at that time.

His gaze became deep, like a pool of water with a dragon hidden, bottomless.

His tone became long, as if he had traveled thousands of years to get here.

"Actually, in this world, there are many secrets hidden, and there are even more unborn sects that hide outside the world, such as the Daomen Qinglian Temple..."

Hearing this, Xu Han raised his eyebrows and said, "Another example of stealing the Holy Gate?"

Chu Qiuli's body was slightly stunned at that time, and a wry smile appeared on his pale face.

"Xiaohan, you're really smart. ”

After making this exclamation, seeing that Xu Han did not mean to answer, the middle-aged man's eyes sank and he said again: "The sect is hidden in the world, and it does not ask about the world, and there is probably only one purpose - to find the road to immortality." ”

"Thousands of years have passed, and heavenly arrogance and demons abound, but no one has found how to go on that road. But most of the hidden sects have their own attempts, and I secretly think that although the Holy Gate is not as great as the great cause of those sects, it has gone farther than anyone else on this road. ”

Speaking of this, Chu Qiuli's gaze became deeper and deeper, "My master, Tsing Yi's father, Ran Linzhen." The twenty-sixth generation of the Holy Gate, he is a genius, and he has found a secret method that can deceive the heavens and steal his life with the method of stealing the Holy Gate, so as to avoid all calamities. ”

In his words, the life of the immortal is endless, the thunder tribulation is endless, and the thunder tribulation is also endless, so the immortal will eventually die. ”

And his method of confusing the heavenly machine seems to have done a lot, he even built a wooden box, called the Tibetan Heavenly Box, relying on this place to allow a seriously injured immortal to avoid the Heavenly Tribulation for several years, until he practiced diligently and had the confidence to fight against the Heavenly Tribulation, he walked out of it and successfully fought against the Heavenly Tribulation. This success gave the master great encouragement, and he devoted himself more and more to the study of this secret method, seeing that the thief of the Holy Gate was about to ascend to the sky in one step, but the heavens could not tolerate this, and the catastrophe of stealing the Holy Gate was coming......"

"On that day, a group of black-clothed people entered the Holy Gate and killed more than 100 people from the sect, but only me and Tsing Yi were hidden in the Tibetan box by the master. I just escaped this catastrophe..."

"So, you want revenge, right?" Xu Han heard this, and finally couldn't help but ask with heavy eyes.

"Chu someone's life is rotten, if it wasn't for the master to take it in and the senior brother to take care of it, I would have died in that corner a long time ago. They have treated me like a mountain, and I naturally want to avenge them. Chu Qiuli was blunt about this.

Xu Han's gaze became more and more gloomy at that time, and he asked, "So the bet you placed on me is your capital for revenge, right?"

It's not too hard to guess.

Chu Qiuli still remembered this until he died, obviously for Chu Qiuli, this was enough to fight for his life. And looking at the past few days of acquaintance with Chu Qiuli, the most risky thing this middle-aged man has ever done is to choose to stand on Xu Han's side in the Chang'an Change.

With this, it is not difficult for Xu Han to guess the relationship between the two.

It's just that he still doesn't understand what role he plays in Chu Qiuli's gamble.

Chu Qiuli obviously didn't mean to veto it now, he glanced at Xu Han again and asked, "Xiao Han, do you hate me?"

Along the way, Chu Qiuli has witnessed all of Xu Han's experiences, especially after the Chang'an Change, although on the surface Xu Han seems to be the same Xu Han. He still has the appearance that he should have on weekdays, but there is an extra gloom inside that is difficult to understand, but Chu Qiuli is very clear.

He understands very well what betrayal and exploitation mean to Xu Han today.

But Xu Han didn't answer the man's question at this time, but asked, "Who is your enemy?"

At that time, the young man's gaze was calm, like spring water in March, and Gu Bo was not surprised.

But the tone is like a night breeze in late September and autumn, warm and cool on the surface, but behind it is a sharp and cold wind and snow.

Chu Qiuli didn't seem to be able to read the meaning of the young man's words for the first time, he was slightly stunned, but finally shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "That's an opponent that no one can defeat." ”

"I want to give it a try. It was only before these words came out that Xu Han's voice sounded again.

Chu Qiuli was stunned again, this was an answer that he didn't expect.

For this reason, he had to raise his eyes to look at the young man, trying to see from the look on the young man's face what he was thinking at the moment.

This is a very unreasonable thing to do.

is reasonable, it was Chu Qiuli who took advantage of Xu Han.

Although such exploitation has not yet become a fait accompli, it has existed. Chu Qiuli felt guilty about this more than once, and when he was dying, he said this in order to seek peace of mind. It was precisely because of this that he couldn't help but ask, "Why?"

The boy's answer was surprisingly simple.

"Because you are Big Brother Chu. ”

The look on the man's face when he heard this froze slightly, and then his frowning brows stretched, the corners of his mouth rose, and he grinned genuinely. Just like when the two first met.

"Actually, I don't have any hope for this, the enemies who rob the Holy Gate are far more terrible than you think, and I don't really hope that you will meet them one day..."

"Whether you believe it or not, the note I put on you is not so much the capital of revenge as a thought for myself..."

Xu Han couldn't fully understand the meaning of Chu Qiuli's words, he said with a calm brow: "Who is the enemy who stole the Holy Gate?"

He really couldn't understand what kind of existence could make people feel so desperate, and they didn't even dare to keep a trace of the extravagant hope of defeating the other party in their hearts.

Chu Qiuli looked up at the window, where there was blue sky and white clouds, and birds were cruising in it from time to time.

Then he opened his mouth, his voice a little bitter.

"Do you remember the thunderstorm when you went to Linglong Pavilion?"

As soon as these words came out, Xu Han's body shook suddenly, his pupils suddenly dilated, and his gaze at Chu Qiuli suddenly became surprised.

The atmosphere in the door was silent for dozens of breaths.

It wasn't until a long time later that Xu Hanfang asked again: "Then since that's the case, why do you still have to do this?"

This time, Xu Han's voice finally changed, it was a bitterness like Chu Qiuli's tone.

The man pondered for a moment with a pale face before answering the boy's question.

"Actually, whether it's Yuan Guilong, Master, or Lin Shou, they can't fight that thing...."

"No one can fight that thing, but someone has to do something after all...."

"Even if I know that this road is the wrong road, the road of death, I have to go on..."

"Because only on the road, someone Chu will feel worthy of the master, the senior brother, and himself...."
