A person, a thing, you are either angry with him, you or mourn his misfortune, at least the object should be you poured great feelings, otherwise you will only treat him like weeds, see him as mud and sand, you will neither be angry, nor sad, let alone disappointed. Xiang Huaishan had only witnessed it before, but had never experienced it. At this moment, I am immersed in the scene, except for despair, there is only powerlessness.

"Do you want to listen to me? I think you should kill them all before it's too late. ”

The melodious tone, compared with the unknown murmur of Fushou Mountain before, is like mutton fat white jade mixed with black mud and sand shining with treasure light. It's just that, hearing this, Xiang Huaishanhe Zhuang Yun Tan was suffocated, and Zhuang Yun Tan couldn't even turn around or raise his head. The psychological shadow caused to them by the person who speaks is like the shadow cast by the body under the lamp, irresistible. As long as there is light, there is a shadow, or as long as you are still a physical body, you will have a shadow. That pain has become an indelible shadow in Zhuang Yuntan's life.

Xiang Huaishan stood up from the ground, glanced at Wu Shu, crossed his arms in front of his chest, and said firmly:

"To kill or not to kill, I have my choice, it's none of your business. ”

"Choice? Do you know what is the greatest sorrow of man? It seems that there is a choice, but in fact there is no choice. You should know that in your identity, unless you awaken, the new sages and those descendants who are in his shadow will not let you die comfortably. Do you still have a choice?"

"That's their choice, and again, it's none of your business. ”

"Even if they choose to let you die, while you still have the ability at the moment, I urge you to consider my advice carefully. ”

"I grew up here, and I know better than you what their choices are when you see these people. At least not to be senselessly killed. ”

That's a good word. Do you think these people who have been treated as pigs and dogs for thousands of years, oh, let's call them people, what's the point of their lives? They only have meaning when they die. Do you know why? Because they can still be food. ”

"I don't think the same way you do, you can't say that a person doesn't exist if he doesn't die, because you can never know what he can create. If a person dies, there is really no meaning. ”

"You see, I'm not going to talk to you about this today. This is the way of the world, you don't need to argue, you can't argue. I'm here for you two today. ”

"If you still want to fight with me again, although we can't beat you, I will definitely do my best, at least let my blood splash on you!

"No, no, no, I'm not here to fight you. I'm here to give you a chance to change your fate. ”

"No! If it weren't for you, we would have changed our fate five years ago!"

"Oh, five years ago. Well, we may all act impulsively, but that's just a misunderstanding. ”

"Can a misunderstanding break a person's backbone? Can a misunderstanding cut a person's heart and bones?" Although Zhuang Yuntan was afraid of Wu Shu, he really couldn't bear the anger in his chest, so he spewed out the anger hidden in his chest. It's just that after the outbreak, there is even greater fear and overwhelm. Zhuang Yuntan stood behind Xiang Huaishan, staring at each other, and the two trembled. I don't know if it's anger or fear.

When Wu Shu went home to find that Shenzi was dead, Xiang and Zhuang, who happened to be in the meeting, became the biggest suspects and the best targets to vent. Wu Shu had just been inherited, and his divine power had just awakened, and his skills were far superior to those of them, so he broke all the backbones of the two of them, and then used magic to protect their lives from death, dissecting the heart, liver, and internal organs, and cutting them carefully, which was more painful than purgatory.

Wu Shu smiled slightly, and said kindly, "Aren't I here to compensate for the two?"

"What conditions do you have?" Xiang Huaishan was silent for a moment, and finally asked.

"There are no conditions. ”

"Why us?"

"Because I don't know anyone else?"

"If I'm not mistaken, you were a big man before you took refuge in the slums. ”

"The past can't be traced. Well, those things that I knew before...... Actually, I can tell you a little secret, for a long time, I like dogs more than people. Do you know why?"

Although he looked at Xiang Huaishan and Zhuang Yuntan expectantly, seeing that the two of them had no idea of answering, he sighed to himself and replied to himself: "Because dogs are always dogs, and people are not human at all in many cases." ”

"What do you want us to do?"

"That's right, I will open a trading house in Shanzhou City, with the support of the big people in the temple, and some high-ranking people who are inconvenient to show up behind my back. It's just that things are just getting started, and I need a couple of helpers. I can't promise you how much you will achieve in the future, but as long as you follow me out, no one will dare to point a finger at who you are!"

Go out! Wu Shu's categorical cut made Xiang Huaishan and Zhuang Yuntan not doubt the authenticity of his promise. Moreover, going out and getting rid of the shackles of poverty slums has always been the ambition of the two. It is very easy to get out, you can do it by rushing through this long street full of mud, but it is very difficult to get out, the rules of the world outside the slums are completely different, and it cannot withstand the tempering of the normal society and the world. Now, Wu Shulai has built a ladder for them, a shortcut. It would be a completely different situation to be sheltered.

Xiang Huaishan seemed to suddenly understand why Wu Shu came to the slum to find the two of them, not because Wu Shu really didn't know anyone else, but because he was looking for two dogs. In Fushou Mountain, which is full of pigs and dogs, there may be no more suitable dog that can be domesticated than him and Zhuang Yuntan.

"I can get out on my own!"

Zhuang Yuntan thought that Xiang Huaishan would seize this opportunity to completely break the chains of getting rid of the slums, but he was stunned to hear Xiang Huaishan's words. His heart was originally full of contradictions, both fear and expectation, but when he heard Xiang Huaishan's words, his heart was calm. There is neither expectation, nor fear, nor disappointment.

"I've wanted to get out of here since I was a kid, it's my ambition. ”

"Oh. I've made the exact same mistake as you before, which is to turn lust into ambition. With that, Wu Shu shrugged his shoulders, "Do you know what the difference between ambition and desire is?" and then shook his head and turned away with the same warm smile as when he first saw Xiang Huaishan and Zhuang Yuntan. Neither disappointed nor annoyed.

The new sage of Fushou Mountain has awakened. Zhuang Yuntan disappeared.

For the first time in more than 20 years, Xiang Huaishan walked alone on this street that he was too familiar with, those ordinary or numb, or cruel, or confused slum residents, but all of them could move, they all saluted him, and Xiang Huaishan's heart seemed to have a big ball rolling around, hitting his chest with his steps, which was extremely boring.

Zhuang Yuntan's disappearance, he was happy, sad, lonely, and a bunch of chaotic emotions, but he was not angry. As the new Sage's designated candidate for the Autumn Prison Prayer, before the final moment comes, he and Zhuang Yuntan will be able to receive the heartfelt and instinctive love and respect of the entire slum, and they will also be blessed by the blessing of this Fushou Mountain. This means that during this time, their hearts will be as clear as crystal, and they will be wrapped in the rules unique to this slum, like worms in amber, absolutely safe and absolutely imprisoned. The whispers of those ancestors will always linger in the ears of those who wish to make them, guiding them to the end of this life.

And the end, death.

Even if it disappears, no one in Fushou Mountain is looking for Zhuang Yuntan, the value of Xiang Huaishan is much more important, and Zhuang Yuntan seems to be just a dowry for this happy event in the slums. Yes, it's actually a slum and an unseen union of ancestors and gods.

Xiang Huaishan knew where Zhuang Yuntan was at the moment, and he wanted to see him again and go with him separately. Maybe he will soon leave this purgatory, right? A few years ago, he was ambitious to break out, and I "borrowed" dozens of copper plates for this purpose, and I can also hand them over to him to fulfill his original promise? Most of the people in Fushou Mountain, except for the virtuous saints, have no hope, and they probably don't know what hope is, right? Maybe this is lucky? What should I say when I see Zhuang Yuntan? Do I wish him a great future? Or remind him that the whole of Fushou Mountain is watching him? Or let him remember the bold words he once said?

Xiang Huaishan knew that he couldn't escape, and he couldn't disappear like Zhuang Yuntan, he just felt that he had some regrets: the Xiang family might have no successor. At this moment, he thought of the people who had been tricked by him, the people he had beaten, and the people who had been deceived by him. He thought of the old houses that had been drilled, the broken jars that had been smashed, the old wells that had been peeed. He thought of the bark he had gnawed, the sewage he had drunk, the tears he had swallowed. He thought of a lot, a lot, and he felt that his mind had become clear and sharp, and what he had experienced, endured, and observed in the past twenty years was presented in his mind one by one, and it was like a string of beads, full of them, and he picked them up.

Suddenly he remembered the song that his grandmother had sung to him.

This song is not a virtuous inheritance, even if grandma can't recognize herself later, she will still chant it several times from time to time, this is the first song that grandma told him when the virtuous saint awakened, and it is a inheritance engraved in the blood of the family. If it weren't for the awakening of the sage to someone in the family, this song would never have been remembered. Although Xiang Huaishan is familiar with this song, he doesn't know the true meaning of it, and there is no way to recite it. Today, when he recalled this song, the words were unusually clear, and his body became lighter, as if all his troubles and worries had disappeared. So he couldn't help but sing as he walked, and its tune was sonorous and crisp, not hurried, resounding through the long street, and the sound was heard for tens of hundreds of miles, covering everything. The song says:

The drums of the left and right heavens are sounding, and they are heard at twenty-four degrees.

The white tiger shook the pillar of heaven, and the red dragon stirred the water.

The three gods guard Xixia and hold Kunlun with both hands.

Xiang Liu Jiu was awarded the head, and a total of five hatreds were made.

Qingqiu hunts red squids, swaggering and cutting laurels.

The weak water slowly descends, passing through the stars.

The soup valley is secluded, and the record is to business ginseng.

The number of Qiankun is endless, and the dust is extracted.
