Chapter 10: A Story

It has been silent for a long time, as if it were eternal silence.

I don't know how long it took, the old blind man took a deep breath, took the lead in breaking the silence, looked at the source master, and said, "Come on, do what we agreed." ”

"Are you sure?" The source lord raised his head slightly, his eyes were full of solemnity, "Are you willing to exchange the life of a saint for an inch of my body?" ”

"Why not? Whether it is a saint or a mortal, they are all mortals, and they all have the end of their lives, and they are just dead horizontally and vertically. Exchanging the body of death for an inch of 'supreme spirit' is not a loss, it is better than turning into aura and replenishing heaven and earth. ”

"You don't have to die, you have a lot of ways to keep living." The dragon's brow furrowed slightly, as if in deep thought.

"As I said, I don't care about life or death. Besides, everything has a price, the so-called life extension is nothing more than exchanging life for life, I have already done too much killing, and I don't want to poison the common people anymore. The old blind man said with a smile, his tone relaxed.

Xu Sheng listened, and his heart sank.

"Good"

The source master no longer hesitated, his eyes froze, and then the rattans scattered. A green thing appeared from the rattan, and when you looked closely, it was a piece of ginseng.

Green Ginseng!

It's really different.

"Click"

A section of the body fell in response to the sound and fell into the soil, and suddenly a large area of the ground emitted a faint green light.

Xu Sheng stretched out his broken arm and approached the spiritual root. The old blind man's eyes were eager, and his tone was serious.

"Good"

Xu Sheng did not hesitate, full of excitement, and trembled and stretched out his right arm towards the spirit root. Can it really be reshaped? He was looking forward to it.

"Dogen incarnation."

The dragon head shouted softly, and the spiritual root seemed to be alive, and suddenly jumped up and connected with Xu Sheng's broken arm.

"Get in shape."

The dragon head exhaled again, and the spiritual root stretched out countless tiny branches, slowly piercing into Xu Sheng's flesh and blood.

This process is not without pain, but Xu Sheng, who has gone through many variables, is no longer the immature boy he was at the beginning, he gritted his teeth and said nothing.

The process is still very fast, and it will be over in a short time. However, the spiritual root did not stop, twisting from side to side, up and down, and in a few blinks of an eye, it completely turned into a hand.

This hand!

Xu Sheng raised it lightly and slowly clenched his fists without the slightest discomfort, just like his own natural flesh and blood.

It's amazing! It is worthy of being the first spiritual root in the world.

The only thing that made Xu Sheng a little uncomfortable was: hand ...... It's green, like emerald, and although it's beautiful, it's really weird.

"It's okay," the old blind man said, "now it's just a preliminary fusion, and when it grows up in the future, it will naturally turn into real flesh and blood, and become one with you." ”

"Lord Xie Yuan."

Xu Sheng was overjoyed. Who would have thought that a broken body could be restored? Earlier, he had silently accepted the fate of being crippled in pain, and now he ...... What a surprise.

"You're welcome, we're just exchanging." The rattan contracted again, wrapping the green ginseng tightly in it. Obviously, the rattan was tighter, and the dragon's head was smaller than before.

After all, the spiritual root body was only a little more than three inches, and the self-cutting section already accounted for one-third. Whoever cuts off his body in three percent will not be unharmed.

"Xu Shengβ€”"

The old blind man suddenly stretched out his voice and shouted. Xu Sheng's heart tightened, knowing that at this moment, the old blind man must have something extremely important to explain.

"I ......" the old blind man stopped talking for a long time before he said with difficulty: "I am a sinner, and my name will be nailed to the pillar of shame of history, I ..... Thirty years ago, my name was Wei Xian. ”

"What? How come?! Xu Sheng only felt that the world was spinning and he almost fell down.

"I said, I'm Wei Xian."

Wei Xian!

The name is too shocking.

Everyone in the world knows the Great Chaos in the Kanto region, and this chaos began with the Wei family, his brother Wei Fang, and his brother Wei Xian.

It was they who lifted the curtain on the rebellion thirty years ago. They were the leaders of the first rebel armies; They are a cancer in the eyes of the imperial court; They are demons who can "stop the baby crying at night"; They are the "human slaughter" that the people hate to the bone.

The old blind man is Wei Xian!

How can it be?

It is rumored that "Yiyang was defeated", Wei Fang was ambushed, and Wei Xian committed suicide, which is well known.

Now, the dead have reappeared.

If the old blind man was Wei Xian, Xu Sheng pinched his thigh, which turned out to be quite reasonable.

Yes, thirty years ago, Wei Xian was around forty years old, in the prime of life, and now he is not an old man who is over the age of old. Legend has it that both of them studied the "Demon Technique" and practiced with human lives, and every place they passed was bound to be a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, so it is not surprising that the old blind man could come up with such a huge amount of vitality before.

"Are you really Wei Xian?" Xu Sheng asked in a trembling voice, although he already had a rough answer in his heart, he still didn't want to admit it.

After months of getting along, all the way forward, the old blind man has always been an elder, although sometimes he is too domineering and strong, but it is all to protect his weak self!

Xu Sheng really couldn't connect the notorious "human slaughter" Wei Xian with the upright and innocent old blind man in front of him.

"Yes, I am." The old blind man was so sure that he could not tolerate the slightest doubt.

"Don't be surprised." The old blind man patted Xu Sheng on the shoulder and whispered, "Do you want to hear me tell a story?" ”

"Hmm" Xu Sheng nodded, he knew that the old blind man would never say useless words, and the story he wanted to tell must be full of deep meaning.

"This story is too long ago, where does it start?" The old blind man smiled, but he didn't see the slightest bit of joy.

"At that timeβ€”" He paused, pondered for a long time, and then said softly: "There is a poor family in Liaozhou, a family of seven, generations of tenant farmers, although life is poor, but barely able to survive, can live. But who would have thought that there would be a three-year drought? Of a family of seven, five starved to death overnight, leaving only two brothers. ”

"My brother was fourteen that year, and my brother was only nine years old. In order to prevent this only relative from starving to death like his ancestors, the elder brother decided to ask the main family for help. Although the elders have tried it before, it doesn't work, and the main family doesn't pull out a dime, so they can only treat each other coldly. But the elder brother had no choice, he knelt at the feet of the old man, kept kowtowing, kept begging, but the only thing that responded to him was abuse and beatings. In the end, perhaps upset by the entanglement, the old man threw the good white rice into the pigsty and told his brother... If you eat it, you will give thirty catties of soybeans. ”

"And then... Brother... pounced on the pig trough, mixed with pig food and feces, bite by bite... Swallowed. ”

At this point, the old blind man stopped talking, and even though he was as strong as he was, he shed tears.

Hearing this, Xu Sheng was also stunned. From that bland narrative, he really felt a sadness, he felt the same, he also had the pain of losing his parents, he also had the experience of starvation.

It's just that... It's nowhere near as heavy as in the story of the old blind man.

"However, thirty catties of soybeans were eaten quickly, what should I do in the future?"

"My brother really had no choice but to steal food. In those days, when food was more expensive than money, it was a dangerous business that would cost lives. At first he was lucky, but then he was caught. ”

Xu Sheng's heart fell. Although he understands that everything has already happened and is a foregone conclusion, he will still be uncontrollably worried.

"If you catch it, you will die, in that period when life is more than grass, it is really common."

The old blind man continued: "But my brother is not dead. He's smart. Using his thin body and immature appearance, he deceived everyone, and when those people took it lightly... Carried out a counter-kill! He was fourteen years old that year, and on that day he killed people for the first time, and that time he killed three people. ”

Xu Sheng was speechless, but there was a chill.

"It's not over. The person who has opened the killing ring is terrible, especially for a poor man who has almost lost everything and has gone through 'hell'. Although he was only fourteen years old, he hated the world, hated those who had food to eat without having to work, and hated those old men who treated human life like pigs and dogs. He was angry, he was crazy, and one night, he sneaked into the master's house, stabbed one by one, and slaughtered a family of fourteen! β€œ

The old blind man paused.

"Then, he took his brother on the run, and he went on a journey until that day."

"That day!"

Xu Sheng could clearly hear the violent mood swings from the old blind man's tone.

"It was a mass grave that day, and the brothers were so hungry that there was nothing they could do. The elder brother kept encouraging the younger brother, but he was so dying that he couldn't even speak. It's really not good, just die here, there are so many dead people, it's not alone. Both brothers thought so. ”

"But at this time, from afar... A man walked over. The man was ordinary-looking, so ordinary that it was unforgettable. But all around him was glowing. He took out a piece of steamed bread from his bosom and divided it into two halves, half to his brother and half to his younger brother. ”

"He watched silently as the two brothers ate like beasts, and then asked, 'Have you eaten enough?' No, it was the younger brother who answered him. That amount is just a drop in the bucket for hungry people, and it's not enough to stuff their teeth. 'Do you want to be full?' He asked. 'Of course,' the two brothers nodded heavily, as if they had caught hope in that moment. ”

"'As long as you are obedient, you will not only have enough to eat, but you will also enjoy prosperity and prosperity.' There was an indescribable attraction in the man's voice. We will be obedient, please tell us what to do. The brother asked, trembling, and knelt in front of the man. ”

The man smiled, threw down a wad of yellowed paper and a bag of dry food, and told the brothers: 'If you do what the book says, you will one day rise above all ten thousand.'

The brothers did so, and their fate changed. Many years later, they learned that what was printed on the paper was a set of exercises called "Life and Death Xuangong". ”

"Life and Death Xuangong"!

This is the third time Xu Sheng has heard this word, the first time is the strange man of the Xu family, he praised the "Law of All Responses" and overrides "Life and Death Xuangong"; The second time was when the old blind man passed on to Xu Sheng's "Nirvana Sutra", he once called it together with "Life and Death Xuangong" and "The Law of All Responses". ”

What kind of exercises is "Life and Death Xuangong"? It can be compared with the "law of all responses".

Xu Sheng, who has two peerless secret texts, is quite curious about this, although he can't understand the "Nirvana True Scripture" at all, but he has personally experienced the mystery of the "Law of All Responses".

""Xuangong of Life and Death" is a divine technique, but it is also an evil way." The old blind man spoke slowly, as if he was still immersed in grief, """Life and Death Xuangong" is actually two completely different sets of exercises, one is "Life Xuan" and the other is "Death Xuan". Since the vitality dissipated and the aura was depleted, cultivation had become an extremely difficult task, but the Xuan Gong of Life and Death provided another way. ”

"Another way!?"

Xu Sheng muttered to himself, full of doubts.

"Yes, the other way. You don't need vitality, you don't need aura, all you need is vitality. The world is full of life. "Shengxuan" is to impact acupuncture points to stimulate vitality in the body. Some ancients believed that the human body is a world of its own, and from this theory, the human body has infinite vitality and can completely support the cultivation of any realm. But that's only limited to theory, in fact, every step of "Sheng Xuan" is extremely dangerous, every impact on the acupuncture points is extremely painful, and the slightest carelessness is the collapse of the body. So the two brothers coincidentally chose "Dead Xuan" "

"Relatively speaking, "Dead Mystery" is much easier, you just need to kill people. Killing people and taking life couldn't be easier. Everything went well at first, but soon the problem became apparent: killing people is addictive. While absorbing vitality, it will also absorb a considerable amount of 'dead air', and those 'dead air' will make people crazy. So the results are to be expected. If you kill one person, you will want to kill another person, and if you kill a hundred, you will slaughter a thousand! The two brothers went completely crazy. In order to kill people better, they chose to rebel! They fooled the people, they preached heresy, they established demonic religions. In the killing day after day, they have become demons, into ghosts, and into the infamous 'human slaughter'. ”

"Wow!"

Xu Sheng gasped. He had never experienced war, but he could imagine the tragic situation of the mountains of corpses and the sea of blood and bones, just thinking about it, he shuddered.

"And then?"

Xu Sheng asked, knowing that the story was far from over.

"And thenβ€”" The old blind man closed his eyes, thinking, trembling, and crying, "and then suddenly one day, my brother found that his cultivation seemed to have reached a bottleneck, and he couldn't break through it, and no matter how many people he killed, he couldn't make an inch. He continued to try, killing like crazy, and at the same time a bad feeling grew stronger. Until one day... A large bronze hand descended from the sky and refined him into a blood-colored fruit! ”

Bronze Giant Hands! Scarlet Fruit!

All this Xu Sheng was so familiar, he had witnessed it with his own eyes a few months ago, and in that dark forest, he had even had a direct confrontation with the "big bronze hand". He tried to tie it all together, and his head hurt, but he still had no clue. It's just one thing for sure: there is a shady force that dominates all this, and himself, the Xu family weirdo, the old blind man, and Wei Fang are all insiders.

"After my brother was captured, I was scared." The old blind man sobbed and replaced the younger brother in the story with himself. In fact, Xu Sheng didn't know that the story told by the old blind man was his own personal experience.

"Later, I tried to restrain myself and was near death several times before I suppressed my bloodthirsty desire and revised "Shengxuan". One of my eyes was deducted by myself during an attack of bloodlust, in order to stay awake. The old blind man's voice grew quieter and quieter.

Along with the silence, it was Xu Sheng's trembling heart. He looked at the old blind man, and at this moment, he felt familiar and strange.

That's the story!

Who can believe if you don't hear it with your own ears, if it's not out of trust?
