Chapter 52: The Vanishing Ancient Locust Tree

After the lunch break, Xu Rupeng followed Zhong Shuhui and Xu Dashan to pick fruits in the orchard, busy with farm work, what a long memory, just one afternoon, Xu Rupeng was so tired that he was about to collapse.

For Xu Rupeng, who has not done manual work for more than ten years, such labor intensity is unbearable.

In the evening, Xu Rupeng lay down early to rest after eating, and in the bed, the mobile phone "Didi" rang non-stop, and Bai Bing and Hu Mei's hand speed was two plus one, which was not covered.

More than an hour later, the mobile phone was still ringing, but Xu Rupeng had already fallen into a deep sleep.

In the dream, Xu Rupeng became a monk with profound mana, and he was crossing the tribulation, one, two...... Eight paths, until the ninth thunder tribulation fell, the boundless terrifying power was like the end of the world, under such a thunder tribulation, Xu Rupeng's bones disappeared directly.

In the darkness, Xu Rupeng sat up suddenly, sweating profusely, breathing rapidly, and a pair of angry and indifferent eyes flickered in the dark space.

The Ninth Thunder Tribulation?

Is it destined to die?

Lao Tzu's life, is it really out of his own hands?

Xu Rupeng turned his head to look at the dark night sky outside the window, and muttered: "Xiao Jiu, hehe, Lao Tzu is waiting for you to kill me, if you don't come, you are a grandson!" ”

Lying down again, Xu Rupeng couldn't sleep......

Reliving a life, happening to himself, such a thing Xu Rupeng has never heard of, but if there is, he can't know, Xu Rupeng believes that he is by no means the only traverser in the long river of history.

There may be one person who is familiar to everyone and is most likely to be a traverser, and that is Wang Mang in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

Public ownership of land, the abolition of slavery, the policy of state-owned enterprises, the loan system, the planned economic policy, the cheap rent, and the reform of the currency system, how could these things that people in the feudal period could think of and can do thousands of years ago.

How did Wang Mang die?

In 23 A.D., the Green Forest Army invaded Chang'an, Wang Mang fled to Gratai under the escort of Wang Yi and others, and there were more than 1,000 ministers, eunuchs, and entourage.

Soon after, Wang Mang's entourage was almost completely killed and wounded, and he himself was killed by Du Wu, a rebel soldier from Shang County.

Later, Wang Mang's head was hung in Wan City, and dozens of soldiers competed to kill Wang Mang, splitting Wang Mang's body. The people heard that Wang Mang's head was in Wan City, and they 'struck it together, or cut off his tongue'.

The new dynasty fell, Wang Mang's head, was collected by the royal family of later dynasties, until 295 A.D. when Emperor Hui of Jin, the Luoyang arsenal was burned down, and then it was burned.

Dividing the corpse, being eaten, and burning, how tragic Wang Mang's ending is, what will happen to me Xu Rupeng.

Damn, at least Lao Wang has been the emperor for a few years, and he has enjoyed the ultimate wealth in the world.

Lao Tzu is still developing obscenely, and before he took off, his mother almost died under the catastrophe, how unfair, thief, I'll go to your uncle!

Thinking about it, in a daze, Xu Rupeng fell asleep again......

"Brother, brother, get up, what a lazy pig, it's nine o'clock, and you're still sleeping", Xu Yuxin shouted loudly as he stood at the door of the bedroom.

His eyes opened, and the dazzling sunlight spread on Xu Rupeng's body through the glass, comfortable, "Promise Xin, you are not noisy, you are very annoying, go out quickly, I am going to get dressed." ”

"Oh", Xu Promise made a grimace and quickly ran away, Xu Rupeng looked at the back of Promise Xin leaving, and a warm smile appeared on his face.

After getting up, Xu Rupeng found that Xu Dashan and Zhong Shuhui had already gone to the orchard to pick fruits, Xu Promise Yin was diligently cleaning pots and pans, and Xu Promise was looking at Erlang's legs in the deep rain.

Xu Rupeng looked at Xu Promise with disgust, "Are you interesting, I've watched it dozens of times, I think you can memorize it." ”

"Hmph, you care about me, I like to watch it, what's wrong, you look at how dedicated Du Fei is, it's not like some people, scumbag"! Xu Promise shot back unceremoniously.

"I", Xu Rupeng is so angry, the words of the scumbag have to be on my face.

"You two don't quarrel, pinch every day, I've been pinching for more than ten years, brother, eat quickly, keep it for you, Mom won't let us eat more vegetables, keep it for you, it's really partial"! The promise sound is also full of vinegar.

Xu Rupeng could only smile helplessly, he could think of what Zhong Shuhui had done.

After the meal, Xu Rupeng didn't plan to go to the orchard to continue, he really couldn't bear it, so he took a box of more than ten cigarettes and walked out with a figure-eight step.

As soon as he walked out of his alley, Xu Rupeng saw a group of very old men and old ladies talking about something fiercely, Xu Rupeng walked over with a fake smile, "Uncle Tian is good, Uncle Li is good, Grandma Chen is ......"

"Hey, Xiao Xuzi is back," Uncle Li said.

Xu Rupeng hurriedly responded: "Mmmm, I just came back yesterday", and gave each uncle a cigarette as he spoke, "What are the uncles talking about, so energetic." ”

Uncle Tian sighed and said: "I don't know which ones have been cut down by thousands of knives at the entrance of our village, creating evil, hundreds of years old trees, really go to the hands, beasts!" ”

A group of old men and old ladies were excited, "God-damned beasts", "No wonder I had to do thunder yesterday morning, but it was early, and I didn't kill these god-killing people", "You said that yesterday's thunder was really strange, I counted it, and it rang eight times", "Yes, yes, that is, it was very strange." ”

Xu Rupeng felt bitter in his heart at this time, uncle, Lao Tzu is a man who was killed by God.

Xu Rupeng said goodbye to the excited uncles and walked alone in the direction of the ancient tree.

The memories of the previous life emerged, the ancient trees were felled, the time, and events did not change, the only thing that changed was that Xu Rupeng was reborn, and he clearly knew some of the tree felling participants.

At a distance of two or three hundred meters, Xu Rupeng had already seen the towering ancient tree that was still guarding the entrance of the village when he returned home yesterday, and today there was only an elliptical stump less than ten centimeters high.

Just three or two steps, Xu Rupeng was already standing in front of the stump, squatting down, Xu Rupeng's palm gently stroked the cutting surface of the stump, and the rings showed the traces of time.

"One, two, three...... Two hundred and ninety-nine, three hundred? It should be three hundred. ”

Xu Rupeng actually made the god count the annual rings of this ancient tree, and the three hundred annual rings represent three hundred years, representing the time when the tree was first born, or when Emperor Kangxi was in power, a long time ago.

The three hundred years of protection of the ancient locust tree, last night completely drew the end of the life of the ancient tree, Xu Rupeng had sadness, but unfortunately, sadness, a tear slipped out of his inexplicable eyes, dripping on the circle of annual rings.

In an instant, a wonderful feeling made Xu Rupeng feel as if he was wandering in a warm Elysium, and the rings of the annual rings turned into strange runes that could not be seen by the naked eye and drilled into Xu Rupeng's body, and the sky above Xu Rupeng's head seemed to have a dark cloud condensation at this moment.

"Buzz...... Buzz ......", it was the same voice again, and the dark clouds that had just condensed quickly dissipated again.

Xu Rupeng, who had closed his eyes tightly, showed an intoxicated smile on his face, and with every rune entering, Xu Rupeng felt that the essence of his life was increasing.

The runes floated up quickly, and quickly disappeared, when all the three hundred invisible runes drilled into Xu Rupeng's body, Xu Rupeng also opened his eyes, he actually didn't know what was going on, he just felt as if he was in the mother's ** just now, warm, comfortable, and safe.

If you look carefully, the traces of the annual rings have faded a lot, of course, Xu Rupeng didn't notice it.

got up to leave, Xu Rupeng decided that he must let the murderer be punished as soon as possible!
