Chapter 16: Another Self
The black dot gradually became clear, and the outline slowly emerged. Xu Sheng looked over intently, and it turned out that the so-called black spot was actually a figure.
It turns out that there are people here!
A figure is tall and thin, like a javelin, like a mountain, full of fierceness.
Maybe it was too long to be lonely, after going through the long torment of calling the heavens and the earth not working, Xu Sheng couldn't help but feel a little happy when he looked at the figure. But in an instant, all the joy was gone. It is not necessarily a good thing to have such a strange figure in such a strange place.
Xu Sheng stood still, no longer stepped forward, hesitating whether to leave, whether to bypass the figure. However, the next moment, the figure slowly turned around and looked straight at Xu Sheng.
"Who are you?"
The two spoke almost at the same time, looking at each other, with the same look of surprise on their two similar faces.
Hell yes!
In such a pale world, Xu Sheng saw another "self" dressed in black.
"Wow!"
In the depths of the forbidden land of the Xu family, the strange man who was also old and young was also taken aback, and said in his heart: What is going on?
Even the weirdos find it strange now.
Xu Sheng and the people opposite looked at each other, without saying a word, their faces were full of vigilance, and they took two steps back.
After taking a closer look, Xu Sheng felt a lot more at ease, although the person in front of him was similar to him, he was not exactly the same. First, the man was slightly taller than him, and the man had a slight scar between his eyebrows, and third, the man's hair was not pure black, but somewhat like the brown of the Frontier Yi.
"Who are you?" asked the man in black in a deep voice with an unkind face, his eyebrows furrowed like knives. There was a majesty in his tone unconsciously.
"Why should I tell you, who are you first?" Under this kind of majestic questioning, Xu Sheng naturally didn't like it, especially after he was frightened and oppressed by strange people in the past few days.
"Joke, why should I tell you? There are people in this world who dare to ask me without opening their eyes?"
"If you don't tell me, I won't tell you. ”
"Do you say it, do you dare to speak to me so boldly!" the man in black stepped forward again, his body straightened, as if ready to attack.
"Tell me first, and I'll tell you. ”
Damn it!
The weirdo who was watching all this just wanted to scold his mother, and he couldn't wait to pull Xu Sheng over and give him two slaps.
There's too much nonsense, what can you do if you tell him first?
The weirdo was excited, and he was equally curious about the identity of the man in black. If given a choice, he prefers to ask in person. But everything now is a different kind of "dream", and he can't interfere with it.
"Don't say it?" the man in black glared at Xu Sheng angrily and gritted his teeth.
"Don't say" Xu Sheng's head was raised, and his expression was arrogant.
"Boom!"
A heavy punch smashed into Xu Sheng's face with a thunderous force. The power of thousands of catties is as fast as lightning, even if Xu Sheng is prepared, he is still blasted out of the way.
"You dare to beat me?" Xu Sheng gritted his teeth and said, "Grandson, in Grandpa's dream, I can let you bully me?!"
He remembered the words the stranger had said to him, "I wish you a good night," and thought that it might be in a dream. It's just that his dreams have been more real and more magical recently.
"Not convinced?" Looking at Xu Sheng, who stepped forward with his head held high and looked disgruntled, the man in black raised his eyebrows.
"Not convinced!"
"Boom!"
Another punch, and the attack was even stronger than before. This time, Xu Sheng was not as simple as retreating, and the whole person was knocked to the ground, and his face was swollen.
"His grandmother's!" Xu Sheng's anger was completely aroused, and all the dissatisfaction in the past few days and even in the past few years was gushing out at this moment.
Knowing that he couldn't beat him, Xu Sheng still had to step forward. If you say you are not convinced, you are really unconvinced.
"Coming back?"
"Come Again"
The man in black frowned, his eyes seemed to be a little shaken, but there was no mercy in his movements. He flashed, kicked his right leg sideways, and then turned his fist into a palm, and in an instant, he discharged a series of punches.
Xu Sheng was kicked into the air, and at the same time, he received more than a dozen heavy blows to his chest one after another. To tell the truth, he is a scholar after all, where can he withstand such a toss? How can his weak muscles withstand such a heavy blow?
"Poof!" Xu Sheng spat out a mouthful of blood, but after he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, he still stood up straight with the same expression as before.
It is because of the unsmooth mood, depression in the heart, oppression, enduring grievances, and unwilling to bear it anymore, that they will rise up, fight hard, fight, and do things that should not be done, and are regarded by others as ridiculous "stupid things"
What Xu Sheng is doing now, but all reasonable people will not agree, they will think that it is extremely stupid. The man in black is clearly a practitioner, his speed, strength, and experience are far superior to Xu Sheng, and fighting with him is clearly asking for hardship.
However, there are always people who ask for their own hardships, aren't they? There has never been a shortage of people in all dynasties, in the south and in the north. A courtier who is honest and straightforward, a captive who would rather die than give in, and a man of lofty ideals who starves to death...... Which of those people was not the "fools" in the eyes of the people of the time? Which one was not miserable and miserable? But looking through the annals of history, they were the ones who wasted the most ink on it to color, and they were those "fools," "fools," "poor people," and "people who did not measure their own strength."
It's also the same stupidity of history.
"Idiot" Xu Sheng did a "stupid thing" that many people would not do.
He held his head high like a pig's head, bared his teeth, and said with a smile: "Master, I won't tell you who I am, even if I am killed, I will never tell you, in my dreams I can still satisfy you?"
", sick. The man in black turned his back and whispered, "What is it? How did Lao Tzu dream of such a thing?" The voice of the man in black was very small, not only Xu Sheng, but even the strange people hiding in the depths of the Xu family's forbidden land were unaware.
The strange man was a little distracted now, and when the man in black kicked Xu Sheng away, his mind was not very concentrated.
His thoughts flew back to a long time ago, and some memories buried deep in his heart were brought back. He also knew the moves used by the man in black just now, they were just the lowest-end martial arts, and their lethality was very limited, he hadn't used them for many years, and he couldn't even remember them clearly.
He couldn't stop thinking about it, he seemed to see the palace wall stretching for hundreds of miles, the iron-clad awe-inspiring guards, the graceful palace maids, and ...... The collapsed towers, the blood-stained plain clothes, the ghostly screams, and ...... The long knife glowing with cold light and the cruel gaze behind the knife.
"Maybe ......," he muttered to himself.
However there is no maybe. After a moment of distraction, he returned to his normal state, his eyes as cold as ever.
The long years have erased too much of his passion, and the near-fleeting fantasy has become a rare brilliance in his life.
He is no longer reminiscing and assuming, but now he only cares about two questions: why is he still alive when so many people are dead, and the other is: how can he continue to live.
The man in black had already walked away, and there was only one thought in his heart: this dream should wake up quickly. Naturally, it was Xu Sheng who was in line with his thoughts, and he was beaten like a "pig's head" by another "self" in a dream, which was really uncomfortable.
And the strange man's thoughts were just the opposite of theirs, wishing that this dream would last longer, after all, the opportunity was rare, and he had a faint premonition.
Xu Sheng went against the man in black and walked for a long time. Heaven and earth are no longer white, gray. In the distance, Xu Sheng looked at it, and the sky and the earth turned into two black lines......
What is the end of heaven and earth?
There was obviously no way out here, and the only thing Xu Sheng could do was to move towards that "black". The darkness is like the light of the night at this moment!
It was dark, getting darker and darker, Xu Sheng's vision gradually blurred, and finally he couldn't see anything. With the darkness comes the endless cold.
What a familiar feeling!
Xu Sheng's ears sounded the sound of the wind whistling by, loud and small. He pondered, and then a blue light flickered in the distant sky, making a crackling sound. With the faint light, Xu Sheng saw some of the surrounding scenes, and as far as his eyes could see, there were some towering ancient trees that were high in the sky and could not be fathomed.
This place!
Xu Sheng has been here before. It was in Linxi Village, the night when the meteorite with the blood light fell.
