Chapter 17: I'll Open It for You
Gonggong Deng has lived in the big house for a long time, as the emperor's close attendant, his status is lofty, in the eyes of outsiders, he should have nothing else to ask for, and enjoy wealth and prosperity, but in the past ten years... No, it should be said that he has had a desire since he was sensible.
Desire to be a human being! Although with the improvement of his strength and status, whoever sees him is not respected, but he understands in his heart that it is all superficial respect, but in fact, he looks down on him at all!
Why, it's not because he's just a eunuch... Not a normal person at all, a man! At this point, even a beggar on the street is better than him! So he has low self-esteem, self-inferiority, since he entered the palace, he has worked extremely hard, practiced hard, and worked hard, until he heard that as long as he stepped on the road of cultivation, he could change his life, so he pursued and worked hard, until now that he has cultivated to the Yuan Baby, he can already be reborn with a broken limb, and he has the ability, but due to the rules of the court, he can still only endure it, wait for the opportunity, wait for the gift, finally, ten years ago, Emperor Xia Longen, gave him this opportunity... Creating fossils is his chance!
But when the opportunity came, he was even more apprehensive, not for anything else, but because he was afraid.
He is afraid of opening a "absolute", once that happens, he will be finished in this life. Even if the cultivation is high, no matter how glorious and rich it is, what is the meaning?
The fear of the future has made him dare not start, and he can't forget... Those predecessors who came out of the palace were depressed.
I can't forget the madness of the eunuchs who couldn't accept this fact and wanted to go out of the court, but they were killed by the court.
He is a person who knows how to be grateful, and in his heart he is grateful to the court, from the bottom of his heart, because it was the court that gave him life and gave him everything, even if he made a "absolute" decree, he would not have the idea of betraying the court. But...... It would be great if we could prescribe the purpose of "life".
Not to mention that he can still enjoy glory and wealth, even if he gives up everything, he is willing, because... He can hold his head up and be a real man! He could even imagine that the "gentlemen" of the twelve bureaus and twenty-four divisions in the palace looked at his expressions!
It was an almost pathological envy, a longing!
Good and nightmarish.
Hope and despair made him struggle. After struggling for ten years, he didn't dare to move, afraid that hope would turn into despair, and that the future would be blessed!
He had heard in the palace that in the nineteen states of Great Xia, there were many capable people, and some strange people could deduce divination, so he had also visited many "masters" in this area, but most of them were vague and ambiguous, and none of them were accurate.
Extrapolation, after all, is also risky, who dares to give him a guarantee? No one dared.
The more he calculated, the more confused Grandpa Deng became. The more uncertain he is, he has also doubted those masters, but there is a saying that it is better to believe that it is there, not to believe that it is not, with this thought, he has always been wandering, searching, and has the devil of rushing to the doctor in a hurry.
This is also why as soon as he saw that Xu Chuan's expression was wrong, he took it to heart and deliberately asked, and now, he heard the answer he wanted.
Got a way?
This Xu Zhifu is really a master who can tell fortunes!
Gonggong Deng's eyes were blazing, looking at Xu Chuan, he was like a devout believer looking at the Buddha, and he said a little respectfully: "I also hope that Xu Zhifu will give you some advice, rest assured, our family still has some savings for divination, and there will be no shortage of silver tickets." ”
Just a little pointing, a little advice...
He didn't think that Xu Chuan could give him a positive answer, at least those "masters" in the past had never given him. Even a great monk who was also a Yuan Infant had never given it to him.
Xu Chuan closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, he was indeed confident, the Deng Gonggong in front of him had a unique eye, and his expression was still very accurate. But because of this, Xu Chuan also understood that he couldn't bluff the latter if he was too much, but it was self-defeating, so he said slowly: "This mansion is 100% sure that it can help my father-in-law calculate which side is "born", but..."
"What? 100% sure? Gonggong Deng suddenly screamed.
It's like a rooster crowing.
Xu Chuan was taken aback.
Gonggong Deng didn't care about his own gaffe, he had been searching for so many years, and the masters who helped to calculate had always been only vague and unclear, this Xu Zhifu actually said that he was ten percent sure, how could he not be surprised, this listen, not to mention to verify the truth of what Xu Chuan said, he was already afraid that the only hope would be lost, and hurriedly asked: "Xu Zhifu...... You're not joking with us. ”
Xu Chuan waved his hand and said with a smile: "Although this mansion and my father-in-law have met for the first time, my father-in-law can tell this mansion such a secret and important matter, how can this mansion use this kind of thing to joke with the public." ”
Gonggong Deng was overjoyed, almost fell to his knees with weak legs, and hurriedly said: "Please also ask Governor Xu to help!" No matter what the price is, our family is willing, and we beg you. ”
Xu Chuan hurriedly held Gonggong Deng up, and said: "What did the father-in-law say, although the mansion is only related to the father-in-law, it can be seen that the father-in-law is so embarrassed, and he can't bear it." It's just that this is a matter of calculation, it is a speculation of heaven's will, and the heavenly opportunity cannot be revealed, and if you help your father-in-law, you have to pay a big price in the future, but... Let's help my father-in-law this time. ”
Xu Chuan said it simply.
But I know in my heart that when communicating with a shrewd person like Gonggong Deng, some words can be mentioned to the point, and it is inappropriate to really talk about it. So the more concise it is, the more it makes Gonggong Deng understand that Xu Chuan did this, and the price must be extraordinary. Also... 100 points of luck!
Yes, it is not the first time that Gonggong Deng has found someone to deduce the divination, and what he hears the most is that the heavenly machine cannot be revealed. Xu Chuan said this, which can be regarded as straightforward, but a big price is not something that his ordinary treasures can make up for. For example, Shou Yuan? For example, the Heavenly Tribulation Punishment... How can these be compensated?
Gonggong Deng thought of many big costs in his heart.
Hearing Xu Chuan say this at this moment, not to mention the side, my heart was already a little more moved. At the moment, he was grateful and said: "We have recorded the affection of Governor Xu's house." ”
Xu Chuan looked at him and knew that he had almost ordered it, and immediately said: "Then please ask your father-in-law to give this "living fossil" to the next look." ”
"Ahh Yes? …”
Gonggong Deng nodded first, and then his face turned pale, he had always been very deep in the city, and his joy and anger were invisible, but he held his breath at this moment, he understood that this Xu Zhifu was not going to use words, but to use actions and results to help him directly.
This is only one chance!
This is the only thought in his life!
"What? The public can not trust this government? Xu Chuan said with a smile.
"No, no, of course our family can trust Governor Xu..."
Gonggong Deng trembled and stretched out his hand, at this moment he had doubts in his mind, and all kinds of thoughts flashed, would this Xu Governor pit him? No, no, this Xu Zhifu has no grievances with him, how can he pit him?
So he's really sure?
How can you really be sure. It's true?
Deng Gonggong's heart flickered, but his hand did not pause at all, and the black and white "living fossils" were quietly held in the palm of his hand, as if he weighed a thousand catties.
And... The other party also said that he was 100% sure! Even if this seemed a bit mysterious to him, he couldn't help but believe it! That's human nature. It has nothing to do with strength, nothing to do with status.
Xu Chuan took the black and white stone. The stone is very light in hand, as light as a walnut, and my heart moves, thinking about the purpose of "living" for this public.
Airplanes.
"Crush the white stones, you can get the purpose of "life", luck -100. Crush the black, and the luck will not change. ”
"Warning, crushing black stones, extremely dangerous."
An option comes to mind, a hint. Xu Chuan already felt that his luck value was one hundred less, and seeing that warning perception, danger? Where is the danger?
Then I understood that this was a reminder to myself, if he opened a big oolong, I am afraid that no matter how good this Deng Gonggong is, he can shoot himself to death at this moment!
If you are not sure of the premise, you should be cautious and cautious about giving others a lifelong event!
Xu Chuan also thought about telling Duke Deng directly to disclose the white stones, but looking at the nervous appearance of this Duke Deng, I am afraid that even if he says that he is ten percent sure, the latter will not be able to make up his mind. So he sent the Buddha to the west, anyway, he was really sure!
And unlike him, he is confident and confident.
Father-in-law Deng's hands were a little trembling, and he hesitated: "Governor Xu... Or, or do you want to extrapolate first? First... Divination... It's not that we don't believe you, really..."
Burst!
His words did not fall.
Xu Chuan had already used a force in his hand, and in the stunned eyes of Gonggong Deng, he partially crushed the white stone, and then, a golden light emerged from it, and the golden light flickered, and suddenly permeated the entire pavilion, Xu Chuan's body seemed to be shrouded in that golden light, and a radiant character emerged from it, the character was as clear as autumn water, and the rui qi was steaming.
"Raw"!
That's a "raw" word! The brilliant golden light almost dyed Grandpa Deng's face golden, brilliant golden!
At this moment, Grandpa Deng felt that his heartbeat had stopped.
Yes, the heart stopped, the six senses were gone, and the mind went blank.
Until the light dissipated, all converged on the stone in Xu Chuan's hand, and everything was calm.
"Father-in-law, fortunately, I don't disgrace my life, give." Xu Chuan still smiled confidently, he raised his hand and sent half of the black stone to Gonggong Deng, but Xu Chuan's face seemed to be pale, and his body seemed to shake unintentionally.
It was a very imperceptible action, but the smile on Xu Chuan's face was very sincere, gentle, and there was a sense of holiness that the Buddha smiled at the flowers, the Bodhisattva purified all sentient beings, and did good deeds without leaving a name.
Gonggong Deng didn't reach out to pick it up, two lines of tears flowed down from the corners of his eyes, and then he quickly raised his sleeve and wiped it clean, his eyes widened, for fear that tears would blur his eyes, and stared at the only half of the black stone left in Xu Chuan's hand.
On it is imprinted with a gilded word "sheng".
Just for this moment...
Ten years. More than 3,000 days and nights...
I was looking forward to this word.
More than 200 years!
Thump.
Gonggong Deng knelt on the ground. At this moment, Xu Chuan couldn't stop it if he wanted to.
He didn't kneel to Xu Chuan, he knelt down to the will of Emperor Xia! He knelt for the first half of his life, for the second half of his life, for all the fears and fears of the past, and for the hope of the future!
"Minion, thank you, Lord Longen!" Gonggong Deng shouted with tears in his eyes, and bowed three times to the half stone held by Xu Chuan, and every time he bowed, Xu Chuan could hear the dull sound of the floor of the pavilion.
After the salute, Gonggong Deng raised his palm, trembling and took the half of the stone from Xu Chuan's hand, the moment he took the half of the stone, Xu Chuan faintly had an illusion, as if the father-in-law was taller and his chest was firmer.
He carefully put away the stones, then looked at Xu Chuan with burning eyes, and respectfully shook it to the end.
"Governor Xu, thank you for your kindness, from now on, as long as Governor Xu says a word, you will go up the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire, and you will never frown."
"Father-in-law Deng's opinion +70, the existing friendship is 100."
Xu Chuan hurriedly waved his hand: "Father-in-law doesn't have to be polite, the mansion is just doing its best." ”
It's just that when he said this, Xu Chuan's face seemed to be a little paler.
How can these escape the divine sense and eyes of Gonggong Deng, do your best, that is a big price, this is the kindness of his life, his eyes are red when he is moved, he doesn't say more, and firmly keeps the grace of the heavens and the earth in his heart, but he is a big internal manager, and it is difficult to help Xu Chuan in official transportation, Lingshi? Although he is a Yuanying Great Monk, but the spirit stone is really not rich, and he is not enough for what the court gave him, and he takes out a hundred or ten pieces, isn't that a cold person? The treasure is that there are two pieces... But it was given by the imperial court, and it can't be given to others casually, thinking about it, he secretly felt guilty in his heart, but he also suddenly thought of a treasure, maybe he could take it.
Thinking about this, Deng Gonggong pressed his gratitude in his heart, and took out a five-picture scroll from his sleeve. These five picture scrolls were tied together, and he respectfully held them up: "Governor Xu, we can't get anything else, these five pictures of immortals, I should leave a thought, I hope Governor Xu must accept it!" ”
