Suddenly there was a little light in the dark world.

Xu Sheng instinctively looked for the light, and when he looked up, there was a vague figure in front of him.

"Name"

"Xu... Why am I telling you? Xu Sheng frowned, gritted his teeth, shook his head in severe pain, and opened his eyes slightly. Only then did he realize that the person in front of him was the old man who captured him and was not angry and arrogant.

"You fall into my hands like a lamb that is powerless to resist, a fish that is to be slaughtered. Whatever I want you to do, you have to do. ”

"Then you kill me. I don't know anything you want to ask. ”

"Backbone." Qin Lie gently twisted his beard, smiled, and said playfully: "The more you don't want to, the more I want to know." ”

"The more you want to know, the less likely you are to know."

"Smack!"

Xu Sheng's face was hot and painful. Qin Lie raised his hand and slapped half of his face into distortion and deformation, and he was no longer human.

"Phew!"

Xu Sheng's response to this was a mouthful of thick phlegm with blood in his mouth.

"Well, it seems that you are quite arrogant, and you are quite confident in your willpower." Qin Lie approached Xu Sheng and was facing him, glaring angrily.

The two men were almost attached, looking at each other. Even though it was dark here, through the glimmer of light, the two still saw from each other's eyes... Momentum!

Qin Lie's eyes are condescending and invincible, he carries the arrogance of the victor and the majesty of the superior, as if telling Xu Sheng: Give in, I am your unresistible, untouchable, and invincible master, and in the face of me, you can only surrender.

Xu Sheng's eyes are much purer, there is only one persistence in it, only one obsession, he seems to be saying: never! No matter what Qin Lie wanted to do, he would answer the same way, never!

"Well, since you insist on it." Qin Lie took two steps back, glared at Xu Sheng viciously, turned around and waved his big hand, and said in a loud voice: "All punishments, but those that do not lead to death, will be given to him all over again." ”

"Yes"

"Whew-"

A red-hot soldering iron sliced across Xu Sheng's skin.

"Crackle—"

A leather whip dipped in cold water whipped on his chest.

"Click-"

The rusty splint was between his fingers, desperately squeezing his flesh.

......

"Ahhh——!h

As time passed, with thousands of times of torture, Xu Sheng, who was always gritting his teeth and holding his breath, couldn't hold back anymore, he screamed loudly, like a ghost crying wolf.

......

"How?"

Qin Lie was standing outside the dark prison with his hands behind his back, and when he heard Xu Sheng's shout, he stopped abruptly and turned back to ask the attendants behind him.

"Fainted."

"Did he give anything?"

"Not a word."

"Humph!"

As soon as Qin Lie shook his hand, he appeared ten zhang away in an instant, and in another instant, he had disappeared without a trace, leaving only a voice, "Take care of him, give him the best medicine, and don't let him die." ”

......

At night, Qin Lie stood alone on a rockery in the Qin family's compound, looking to the west.

There, there are things he dreams of, and there are too many obsessions he has. The fertile soil of Zhongzhou and the imperial power of Shenzhou all made him fascinated.

However, he also knew that they were too far away from him. Not only because the Qin family is now weak, but more importantly, his own strength is far from being able to compete with the ancestors-level figures of various families.

He hated, hated that he had been born in the wrong era. If it was in ancient times, then with his qualifications, he could completely climb the Sanctuary; If it was in antiquity, he would be among the greats; However, in the era of the end of the law, he can only be a celebrity.

Although in the eyes of ordinary people, the famous place is already an unattainable peak, but he knows that it is not enough, far from enough. The eight major families, except for his Qin family, all have great powers.

The reason why the Yan family's Yan Cheng dared to suppress the imperial power was because he was very likely to have been canonized, and even if he didn't, it was not far off.

However, even Yan Cheng did not dare to replace the royal family, because there was a mountain behind the royal family, and there was a celestial master who was known as an alternative saint.

The fame is not as powerful as the power, and the difference between the saints and the saints is a world of difference.

Qin Lie wants to strengthen the Qin family, wants to restore the glory of the past, and even chases the deer in Middle-earth and reigns in Shenzhou, what he needs is not only territory and soldiers, but also stronger personal strength.

Before, he was desperate for a while, in the era of the end of the law, it was difficult to cultivate to ascend to the sky, even if he gathered the strength of the entire Qin family, he was afraid that he would not be able to send him into the ranks of great powers. But now, he really saw the light.

Xu Sheng is his hope.

In Xu Sheng's body, there are two unimaginable, incomparable, and vast forces like the sea, if they can be their own.....

Qin Lie clenched his fists, if he could really do what he wanted, what was the position of power? Even if you are a saint, you can also compete!

"First Acquaintance, Understanding, Tranquility, Spiritual Spring, Divine Thought, Heavenly Mansion, Unhindered, Transcendental, the Eight Realms, and the 'Reflection of the Heavens - the Realm of the Gods' that cannot be cultivated or touched in the legend." Qin Lie muttered to himself in a low voice, his eyes flickering, "When you reach the Divine Mind Realm, you can be considered a great cultivator; If you enter Tianfu, you will be a famous place; When one attains the state of unhindered and the physical body is perfect, it can be called 'the power of one's life', and as for transcendental, it is sanctification, free from the shackles of mortals, not a god, but it is similar to it. Today, the status of saints is probably much higher than that of the gods of ancient times, after all, the ancient gods walked the world, but the saints of today do not appear in the world. ”

Qin Lie had already made up his mind, he was determined to treat Xu Sheng as blood food, and he wanted to turn it into a boost for him to attack a higher realm.

He could spit Xu Sheng out in one gulp, but he wouldn't do that. It was too wasteful, too violent, and he doubted that he could withstand such a powerful force.

He has a better plan, he wants to use Xu Sheng as food for a long time, he wants to keep him in captivity, use his flesh and blood to make alchemy, and become his capital to continuously impact the high position.

However, it was bound to be difficult. Qin Lie understood that Xu Sheng would not give in, and he understood from the moment he saw his eyes. Xu Sheng will never be willing to be kept in captivity, he will not hesitate to choose to resist, if the resistance is ineffective, he will take death as the last struggle.

Xu Sheng is not very afraid of death!

If Xu Sheng died, what about those two forces? Qin Lie didn't dare to gamble, whether it was dissipation or outbreak, it was not something he could bear.

How can we stop Xu Sheng's self-destruction? How?

Qin Lie fell into deep contemplation. This is undoubtedly a tricky problem, if Xu Sheng is bent on death, there are really too many ways, and he can't stop it at all.

Xu Sheng can bite his tongue and kill himself, if he stuffs a lead stone in Xu Sheng's mouth so that he can't bite his tongue, Xu Sheng can completely go on a hunger strike; If he forcibly fed Xu Sheng, how long would he be able to live under the massive amount of flesh and blood?

Incomprehensible!

Qin Lie frowned, remained motionless, and stood for a long time; Suddenly, he had an epiphany, suddenly woke up, and didn't care about the patriarch's prestige, threw off his big stride, and went straight to the "Tibetan Scripture Pavilion" that he had not patronized for a long time and had almost forgotten.

He vaguely remembered that there was a set of secret methods in the "Hidden Scripture Pavilion".

In the long darkness, Xu Sheng couldn't tell the difference between day and night, he didn't know how long it was, but he would be tortured every once in a while as usual.

Each time, after enduring a whole set of inhumane punishments, he was forced to administer medicine. I don't know what kind of medicine it is, which usually makes him more painful; However, after the pain, he was soon healed.

In the uninterrupted, cyclical torture, he was already dead, he could not see a little hope, and he had the thought of dying.

He is hesitating, he is unwilling, he still has concerns.

He can't forget the entrustment of the old blind man and the Hanshan monk, he can't forget the stunning woman in the city of Zhongzhou Nanjun, he hasn't let the old blind man return to his hometown, and he hasn't uncovered the secret behind his fate.

How could he just give up?

He cried!

Not because of physical pain, but because of heartache.

"Squeak—"

The cell door was pushed open, and the old man named Qin Lie changed into a white coat and came to the door; With a plausible smile on his face, he said softly to Xu Sheng in a hoarse and magical voice: "Child, I've hurt you." ”

Child, I'm sorry for you!

In Xu Sheng's ears, these words circled back and forth, enduring. As soon as he raised his head, he just met Qin Lie's profound gaze, and there seemed to be a sea of stars in his eyes, deep and boundless. Xu Sheng looked at it, and involuntarily sank in.

"Child, I won't let you suffer anymore." Qin Lie's hand brushed over Xu Shengdi's head, as gentle and kind as a division commander.

In front of Xu Sheng's eyes were countless overlapping lights and shadows, flickering far and near, flickering and flickering. He saw many people in an instant, all of them in his heart: the old blind man, the Hanshan monk, his father, his mother, his brother, Xu Lizi, Mu Huaijin... They all overlapped, and they all walked towards themselves.

Xu Sheng's eyes became more and more moist.

"Child, you are my child." Qin Lie's voice was dreamlike and full of affinity. He looked at Xu Sheng and said word by word: "Qin Zhao, it's hard work, I swear never again." ”

"Qin Zhao?" Xu Sheng repeated to himself as if he was stunned.

"Yes, remember, your name is Qin Zhao, you are the fifty-fourth generation of my Qin family, and you are my grandchild." Qin Lie smiled and said softly.

"Qin Zhao?" Xu Sheng read it again, then his eyebrows furrowed, and he said coldly: "You fart!" Who is your Qin Zhao, Lao Tzu is Xu Sheng. ”

"You..."

"Smack!"

Qin Lie was extremely angry, slapped Xu Sheng with his backhand, and left angrily......

However, the next day, Qin Lie came again, still repeating yesterday's actions and words.

Then, on the third day, on the fourth day, on the fifth day...... Every day, every day. Finally, after more than a month of hard work, he finally heard the words he had never dreamed of hearing.

Xu Sheng said to him weakly: "Patriarch, I am Qin Zhao. ”
