Chapter 11: A Tombstone

After a dreamlike epiphany, Xu Sheng couldn't sleep. Not only was the depression in my heart, but even the sleepiness was swept away.

He rummaged through the house and found a jar of old wine in an old and quaint bookcase. I don't know what age it is, how many years, he happened to be thirsty, smelled the fragrance, and drank it all in one drink.

That wine, the taste is acceptable, it's not delicious, but it's not annoying, but the amount is a little small, more than two or two, for Xu Sheng, it can only moisten his throat.

Wine is a magical thing, drinking too much paralyzing the spirit, hurting the body, drinking a little less is good for health and active mind.

Xu Sheng, who had drunk two taels of wine, couldn't sleep even more, he took advantage of the starry night, supported the breeze, and wandered around the promised Xu family's house with the strength of the wine.

Xu Sheng likes the night very much, and I think there are many people who like it. After a long and tiring day, one longs for darkness. Enjoying a quiet atmosphere in the dark, ignoring the distractions of the world, wandering to the fullest, and thinking about flying outside the world has to be said to be a kind of desirable relaxation.

Xu Sheng is quite relaxed now.

Originally, he didn't know much about Xu Mansion, and besides, the scenery anywhere was good, so he completely let go of his heart, and walked casually without purpose and without an end. Wherever you go, you can be wherever you go.

However, the rare comfort did not last long, and there were always unexpected circumstances that would break the long-lost leisure.

For example...... Urgency to urinate.

The feeling of oppression from the lower three inches made Xu Sheng completely lose his interest in loitering, he just wanted to find a convenient place.

However, this place is not easy to find! Where is it now? Xu Sheng was completely stunned. can only be like a headless fly, bumping east and west, running north and south.

Half a day to no avail, he was so anxious that he wanted to turn back the way he came, but unfortunately the original way was not there.

Xu Sheng's route is completely random, and finding his way back in a short period of time may be more difficult than finding a toilet here.

"Or ......?!" Xu Sheng looked at the gurgling water at his feet and had an idea.

No way!

This thought was snuffed out by him as soon as it came out, after all, no one can bear to break the circle of beautiful things. Moreover...... In the middle of the night, a big family like the Xu family must be indispensable to patrol more, and it would be embarrassing if someone else met him and he was taking off his pants.

Wait, when you meet someone, just ask.

At this time, the stars are shining, the water is murmuring, the breeze is soft, and the willow branches are dancing, which is quite poetic, but Xu Sheng is upset when he looks at it.

The Xu family spent a lot of money, made a lot of money, and wasted a lot of effort to bring water from the river, and laid out many landscapes such as streams, waterfalls, and lakes in Xu's house. To say that it's not beautiful is.

But now Xu Sheng looked at the beautiful scenery in front of him, listened to the sound of hula water, and was so anxious that he just wanted to scold his mother. The surging currents, the flickering waves, always make him have some bad associations.

Fortunately, there is no endless road. Xu Sheng, who was in a hurry, finally found the toilet, and when he was comfortable for a while, when he looked at the three big words "clean room" on the toilet, the roots of his teeth itched.

"Clean room", a toilet is so named, but also red walls and green tiles, carved wood, so that he once thought it was a bathhouse, walked in front of the door several times, stunned but did not enter.

The problem of internal urgency was solved, but the matter of how to go back gave Xu Sheng a headache.

Random routes, complex terrain, finding a way back - difficult!

But no matter how hard it is, I have to go back! I have to teach tomorrow, according to the Xu family's style, I will definitely send someone to invite Xu Sheng, if he is not there then, who will he invite?

When the maid or the servant pushes the door, what about the people? If a guest secretary disappears in the gate of the Xu family, it will definitely cause waves, and servants will be sent to find it.

That can definitely be found, but what about after it is found? How should Xu Sheng explain?

Lost? It doesn't make sense, what are you running around in the middle of the night?

Xu Sheng was still worried about meeting someone who was patrolling, so he asked for directions and hurried back. But now, he had been wandering around for two hours, and he hadn't even seen a single figure.

He estimated that he was afraid that the Xu family did not patrol at all. It's really worthy of the Xu family, and it's really confident!

Another hour passed, and it was already the second half of the night, and Xu Sheng pondered: I'm afraid I won't be able to go back tonight. He was thirsty and tired, and the previous sense of idleness had long since flown to the horizon, and was gone.

In that case, he also confessed. It's a big deal, and it's just a loss tomorrow morning.

With this thought, he simply sat down, leaned against a rockery, and looked helplessly at the "great" scenery that he was now annoying to look at.

Suddenly, he felt a light in his eyes, and something on his right side caught his eye for a moment. He stared intently, and ah! It was a stone tablet, not very tall, and it was pitch black, and it was very inconspicuous in this dark night.

But, as long as you see it, you can't move your eyes anymore.

Tombstone?!

Two big words popped up in Xu Sheng's mind in an instant, but they quickly dissipated. Come on, who will erect a tombstone in the house, unless there is a sickness.

If it's not a tombstone, then I'm afraid it's a merit monument, or it's a warning monument.

Either way, it aroused Xu Sheng's interest, and he decided to take a look.

The stone tablet was not far from him, only two or three feet, and three or five steps away.

Standing in front of him, Xu Sheng raised his eyes and looked, oh! Take a gasp.

Grandma's, what a tombstone!

A tombstone has been erected in the Xu family's house! Xu Sheng's heart trembled, the tombstone is here, what about the grave? Where is the grave? He walked towards the back of the monument, but saw that it was empty, and there was not even a small protrusion.

"Maybe I'm thinking too much." Xu Sheng stroked his chest, his voice trembled, and he sounded obviously lacking in confidence. He pulled himself together and leaned closer to the tombstone to take a closer look.

There are still words on it! It is all ancient texts from 2,000 years ago, and Rao is Xu Sheng has also seen some of the research on the text, and he knows a little about it.

"Heavenly ..... Lack of children!"

The inscription seems to be incomplete, roughly recording a catastrophe two thousand years ago, in which the three words "Heaven Lacks Son" appear more than a dozen times.

The inscriptions are less than 1,000 words in total, and the frequency of "Heavenly Lack of Sons" is so high that it cannot but attract Xu Sheng's attention.

"It seems to say that 'the lack of children from the sky' caused a catastrophe, and in the end it was he who ended the catastrophe?!" Xu Sheng muttered to himself, not quite sure. After all, it was an obscure ancient text from 2,000 years ago, and the twilight was deep and the handwriting was mottled, so he could only guess.

"Who is the Son of the Heavens?" Xu Sheng tried hard to recall, as if there was no such person in history. Not to mention 2,000 years ago, not even 5,000 years ago.

If there really is such a person who caused a catastrophe that the whole world mourned 2,000 years ago, and then ended the catastrophe, it is impossible for the "Scripture and History" not to mention it at all.

"The History of the Scriptures" is a strange book, the first strange book in the world. I don't know who wrote it, and maybe it wasn't written by one person at all, but it records a total of more than 4,200 years of history from more than 5,000 years ago to the 13th year of the previous dynasty. Not only history, but also theology, legends, ancient characters, medicine, architecture and many other fields are interspersed, with a total of 36 million words, which can be called a masterpiece of the emperor.

Moreover, according to the research of later generations, the records in the "Scripture and History" are basically true, except for some gods, ghosts and immortals, the rest are all accepted by the world.

Xu Sheng is quite familiar with "The History of the Scriptures", he has read the book for more than ten years, and the one he reads the most is "The History of the Scriptures". Of course, 36 million words, and the content is extremely concise, the text is obscure, Xu Sheng has only roughly passed it a few times, but he has always been interested in history and ancient characters, and he has been thinking about it several times.

Like the vast majority of people in this world, out of trust and worship for the "Classics and History", Xu Sheng concluded that there was no "lack of children" in the past 2,000 years, and there was no catastrophe for the whole world.

"Eighty percent of the inscriptions are written blindly, but this word is really good." Xu Sheng had already made a judgment, but he still stood in front of the tombstone and refused to leave.

He was fascinated by the words on it, and his mind was sucked in.

What a word!

It is like a frightening dragon, like a swimming dragon, ancient and clumsy, and the vicissitudes of life.

Xu Sheng was happy in his heart, and couldn't help touching it.

Belch!

It's so cool. The stele is like a block of ice, cold and smooth.

It's amazing! It was the first time Xu Sheng encountered such a stone, and he couldn't help but touch a few more handfuls.

Then, something strange happened. The stele shook violently, and then emitted a moon-white light that pierced the sky.
