Chapter 17: Beauty to be Marryed
Of course, the same dreams have to be awakened in the same way.
Xu Sheng stood quietly, closed his eyes, and waited for a fire to arrive.
He was convinced that the flame would eventually come. The more and more fantastical experience made him feel that he was indeed extraordinary, and even the so-called "fake" in the mouth of the stranger, he faintly agreed with it.
A near-perfect fake child should not and will never die in a dream in no apparent terms.
......
For a long time, it seemed like it was just a moment.
A bolt of lightning fell from the sky without warning, carrying infinite heavenly might, and exploded beside Xu Sheng.
Here it comes!
Not the ignition of a flame, but the rise of a sea of fire!
Xu Sheng opened his eyes, and all around him were fire. There were thousands of colors and thousands of sights in the firelight, but before he could see it, a ray of light pierced into his eyes.
......
"Ah——!h
He screamed, straightened up suddenly, and it took a few moments to calm his mind, and look around at the familiar scenery around him.
"Wake up at last!" he whispered to himself. When I touched the quilt, it was wet, and it was full of cold sweat.
Spring goes to autumn, cold comes and summer. The days passed, and Xu Sheng stayed in the Xu family's house for more than a year.
The time of the year is not long, but it is not short. This year was undoubtedly a torment for Xu Sheng, and his growth was also extremely significant.
Today's Xu Sheng is no longer as weak as he was a year ago, and his size has grown again at an age when he should have been stagnant. Needless to say, there are more changes on the surface, and more profound changes are known only to him.
Now, if he wanted to, he could instantly extract the "Invisible Secret Power" from all parts of his body, gather it in one place effortlessly, and easily unleash a sharp blow. He had tried, and with all his strength, with one finger, he could easily pierce through the iron plate! Correspondingly, his perception was far superior to before, he could see ants a hundred feet away as long as he could concentrate, and when he meditated, he could hear the breathing of mosquitoes and flies in the nearby courtyard.
The root of everything, Xu Sheng guessed, eighty percent had something to do with that strange dream.
Throughout the year, Xu Sheng dreamed a lot, and every dream was extremely similar. The man in black who was extremely similar to him, Xu Sheng would meet him in his dreams every time, and every time he had to fight.
In a year, Xu Sheng has fought with the man in black more than 100 times, from being passively beaten at the beginning, to now barely having the power to fight back. Xu Sheng believes that one day he will press the hateful man in black to the ground and rub it, and he will take back all the humiliation he has suffered. Not only that, but he has to get even worse.
As for who the man in black was, Xu Sheng didn't know. The two are angry with each other, and would rather beat their heads to the point than reveal their identities.
Speaking of which, the two are not only similar in appearance, but also similar in personality, the same stubbornness, and the same childish temper.
Teaching during the day and dreaming at night has become the norm in Xu Sheng's life. The strange man, old and young, never appeared again, but Xu Sheng knew that the strange man must be hiding in some hidden corner that he couldn't reach, watching him silently.
Yes, the weirdos were indeed watching him, almost for a whole year, almost non-stop. It is no exaggeration to say that the weirdo's understanding of Xu Sheng is better than Xu Sheng's own in some aspects.
Xu Sheng's dreams always surprise the weirdos, and the weirdos have benefited a lot from the fights between Xu Sheng and the man in black. He was able to get a glimpse of some long-lost secret techniques!
To the stranger, Xu Sheng was a treasure trove, and he was extremely happy, but at the same time a little suspicious. The suspicion was that every time Xu Sheng walked into a dark place in the second half of the dream, then he couldn't see anything.
What is the secret of that dark place? The strange man was eager to know, but could not find out what to do.
It's impossible to ask Xu Sheng, Xu Sheng won't tell him at all. Going to search for souls?Yes, but that would damage the consciousness too much, and it might destroy the dream, and he wasn't willing to take that risk.
The weirdo wants to get the thing he wants from Xu Sheng's dream, and then search for his memories little by little. For him, that's the way to go.
Xu Sheng was pacing in the garden, he had been really idle in the last few days. First, the eldest lady of the Xu family somehow, cried inexplicably, and then took sick leave, and second, he hadn't dreamed for a long time.
Xu Sheng wandered around, and gradually found that the entire Xu Mansion was shrouded in an extremely grand atmosphere. Combined with the few words he has heard in the past few days, he guesses that there are big people coming.
"Mr. Xu" A loud voice made Xu Sheng stand still, and when he turned around, it was an acquaintance - the housekeeper of the Xu family's North Courtyard.
"Mr. Xu is really interested! At this time, the grass is luxuriant, and it is a good time to visit. "This bookkeeper was about forty years old, with a thin build, dark skin, high cheekbones, and slender cheeks.
"Brother Wang's interest is not bad, I met my brother as soon as I entered this garden for the first time, and it was also fate. Xu Sheng has been in the Xu family for a year, and he has seen many people, so he is naturally handy when it comes to sour and rotten politeness.
The two of them chatted casually, talking nonsense that was not painful or nutritious. After going back and forth, the two talked about the Xu family's recent "various actions".
"The Xu family is going to take a step forward this time. The king squinted at the servants who came in and out, said with a smile, and then looked at Xu Sheng with deep meaning. Of course, Xu Sheng understood what that meant, and immediately patted his ass, "The little brother is stupid, and I hope that the old brother will make it clear." ”
"You don't know this?!" Wang Ledger tilted his neck, quite proud, smiled, and said in a low voice: "
The eldest lady of the Xu family is getting married. ”
What the!
Thunderbolts on sunny days, thunder on the flats. Xu Sheng only felt that the sky was dark for a moment, and he almost fell to the ground.
"How come?" he said in a deep voice, and it took him a long time to stabilize his mind, and he said in a trembling voice to the king's account: "Dare to ask the elder brother if you know which one the eldest lady gave it to?"
"It seems to be...... Liu family?" Wang was not sure, and at the same time, he saw that Xu Sheng was a little abnormal, and hesitated to answer.
The Liu family.
Xu Sheng nodded, his mind was in chaos, but he couldn't help but think of the four big words "the right door".
The Xu family is the first family in Nan County, but the Liu family is the first family in Zhongzhou, although Nan County is large, it is still in Zhongzhou.
The Xu family is noble, famous for its wealth, and has prospered for hundreds of years, while the Liu family is a real thousand-year-old family. It can be said that the history of the Liu family's existence is longer than that of the current Jokhang Dynasty. A thousand-year-old family! In this dynasty, it is even more powerful to the extreme. The garrison in the world's first male pass that blocked the army of millions of tigers and wolves in the Kanto region - Bishui Pass was actually the private army of the Liu family.
Most of the entire Zhongzhou is the private land of the Liu family.
It is really reasonable for the Xu family to choose to marry the Liu family. It is normal for the richest family to unite with the most powerful family.
But Xu Sheng felt that it was inappropriate, he remembered Xu Lizi's bitter crying, where is the illness? He felt the need to meet Xu Lizi, although he thought he was small, but he just acquiesced to Xu Lizi marrying someone she didn't like, Xu Sheng felt like a knife.
"Hey, Mr. Xu, why are you leaving?
The king's bookkeeper shouted at the top of his voice. Xu Sheng didn't say a word, as if he hadn't heard it, and ran away as if he was flying.
"Why are you anxious about getting married?" the king muttered quietly, flicked his sleeves, and then exclaimed, "Okay, Xu Sheng, so bold." ”
When Xu Sheng stood outside the door of the "Xiaoxiao Pavilion", he hesitated. His hand was on the knocker, and he couldn't knock it down.
What's wrong with me?
Xu Sheng asked himself: What's the use of me coming? I am a husband, she is a disciple, we are master and apprentice, and other people's marriages are decided by their own parents, so why should I interfere? What am I? Why am I here? In what capacity can I intervene in this matter?
The more he thought about it, the more painful Xu Sheng felt. Finally, his raised hand was also put down, he took a deep breath, turned around cowardly, and left in a lonely state.
At this moment, his back is so rickety, like a coward.
