Sometimes when people are sleeping, they suddenly feel a sudden sense of loss, or they are drowning in the deep sea. Due to falling, suffocation, and hanging in the air, they stretch their legs in shock, sit up and jump up from the bed. They are covered in cold sweat, but they can't.
I remember what I was dreaming about.
Zheng Xiu was obviously not sleeping.
He is brushing copies quickly.
But when he entered "White Carp Village Act 2" and the word "Wandering" appeared in front of his eyes, he suddenly felt that his feet were empty and he was falling downwards.
Plop.
Fell into the water.
The water is very deep.
Very heavy.
For a moment, Zheng Xiu felt like he was falling into an abyss, and he opened his eyes in fear.
The dim green in front of his eyes was full of vitality, surrounded by a circle of rich and golden light, which stung Zheng Xiu's eyes. Zheng Xiu rubbed them vigorously and raised the bronze mirror. He looked at his bloodshot eyes, which were filled with yang essence.
With a vigorous and tenacious beard, Zheng Xiu looked out the small window and saw that it was almost dusk. Unknowingly, he had been haunted by ghosts all day long.
Zheng Xiu, who had gradually become accustomed to the "pain of death", was disturbed by the sudden "feeling of falling". He rubbed the goosebumps on his arms vigorously for a while, feeling better and letting his thoughts go again.
Float into the prison of your mind and see what you just realized.
Sitting on the skeletal chair, Zheng Xiu stared straight at the avatar on the table.
There is a hazy shadow behind the incarnation. The shadow looks like a human figure, and its features are very similar to Zheng Xiu. At first glance, it seems that there is something wrong with the eyes and seeing a double image.
The incarnation's specialty is still extremely long, there are no other changes.
There were some changes in special effects, but Zheng Xiu couldn't describe them.
Zheng Xiu was puzzled and waved his hand to summon the scroll.
【Host】:【Zheng Xiu】
【Gateway】:【Prisoner】
[Derivatives]: [Wandering in jail and looking at the sky (first glimpse of the door)] [Wandering in the mind (first glimpse of the door)]
[Talent]: [No businessman, no treachery (first glimpse of the door)]
[Experience]: [Bai Li is looking for secrets for the first time, and the troubled times are turbulent (first entering the world)]
…
Zheng Xiu pondered the changes in the information on the scroll.
He had been force-fed the "rules".
So far, all his gains in the ghost world have been reflected in his incarnation.
But this time, when he finished the first act "No Knife on a Rainy Night" and was about to enter the second act "Trouble in the Mountain Village", new derivative changes occurred.
Zheng Xiu stroked [Wandering of the Soul] with his fingertips, and a line of small characters floated up.
[Wandering of the Spirit (First Peep at the Door)] You are in prison, but your heart is outside the prison. If your body does not move, your spirit will move, and if your spirit does not move, your mind will move. You can use this to travel to different places around the world.
He touched the knot on his forehead and pondered while touching it. After a while, he came up with something.
"Wandering around!"
When Zheng Xiu thought about this place, he suddenly had the illusion of being as ethereal as an immortal.
Who is that handsome figure from behind?
Zheng Xiu came back from the ecstatic feeling of becoming an immortal and found that under his feet was a handsome and tall figure with long hair, lowering his head in deep thought. The swirl on the back of his head was as deep as the waves of the sea, which was intoxicating.
"that's me!"
After a while, Zheng Xiu came to his senses.
It was himself sitting cross-legged in the dungeon!
“Then who is ‘I’?”
Zheng Xiu was shocked. He spread his hands and saw that his fingers were almost transparent and floating above the cage without any weight.
Soul out of body?
"Have I really become 'A Piao'?"
Zheng Xiu couldn't laugh or cry, but after thinking about it, he felt intense joy.
He tried pressing his hand against the wall, and his almost transparent palm passed directly through without any obstruction.
"Bang!"
There was a strange noise from the opposite side, and an old man with unkempt hair and unkempt face was seen. His eyes were split, and he stared at the cell opposite as if he had seen a ghost. He was stunned for a moment. He rubbed his eyes vigorously, with a frightened expression as if he had seen a ghost.
When his thoughts moved again, Zheng Xiu suddenly felt a strong suction coming from his body, like an invisible vortex, sucking him back.
"Boo~"
came back.
"you you you……"
The inmate next door to Zheng Xiu was trembling all over, his lips were white, and he couldn't say a complete sentence for a long time. His expression and eyes made him barely say the word "ghost".
"My lord, are you feeling unwell?"
Zheng Xiu knew that what he did just now must have frightened the inmates across from him. He opened his eyes and said seriously.
“Bang, bang, bang—”
It was okay for Zheng Dashan not to speak. As soon as he spoke, the old man's shackles and handcuffs made a clanking sound. He was so frightened that he crawled to the corner on his hands and knees, pressed his back against the wall, and rubbed his eyes again, with a look of astonishment.
"Are you starving?"
Zheng Xiu tilted his head and asked with concern.
Respect the old and love the young.
"I clearly saw you...behind you...behind you...there was...there was..."
Zheng Xiu looked back in "surprise" and saw that there was nothing behind him. He was happy: "Zheng and this gentleman have no grudges yesterday and today. Why did you scare Zheng for no reason! Let's not talk about the bright sky in broad daylight.
Under this, evil spirits retreated. Besides, Zheng acted with sincerity and loyalty like the bright moon, as clear as a mirror, and with a clear conscience, he would not be frightened by adults."
"Is it true that my old eyes are dim?" The old man lowered his head and pondered. He looked over and over again and never saw "A Piao" again. He also suspected that there was something wrong with his eyes. Zheng Xiu was right. Let's not talk about whether there is such an unclean thing in the world.
, if it really happened, it would be impossible to go out and commit murder in broad daylight.
"Hmph!" Soon, an old man was angered by Zheng Xiu's words and spat to the side: "Bah! Just you?"
Zheng Xiu saw that the other party looked like he had met the enemy who killed his father, so he stopped teasing Ah Piao and curiously asked: "Sir, is there some misunderstanding between us?"
"If there is no businessman or traitor, the world will be as dark as crows!"
No businessman, no traitor?
Yes.
Zheng Xiu thought of the "talent" on the scroll and sighed to himself, this is a gift from God, it is a kind of "talent", and I, Zheng, am also very helpless.
So Zheng Xiu no longer struggled with the other party, and was too lazy to touch the other party's cold face with his hot butt. He just lay on the quilt and closed his eyes to rest, thinking about the use of [Fugue].
Zheng Xiu didn't bother to explain to the other party that when he was first imprisoned, he heard the jailer mention it when he was distributing food. The neighbor across the street was an upright official before he was imprisoned. He was imprisoned for making mistakes in his work.
It is not surprising that honest officials hate the rich.
Furthermore, the fact that Zheng Xiu's richest man was made by money is difficult to argue with, let alone explain.
Do he have to brag about his good deeds such as helping the poor, caring for the delinquent women, and providing re-employment opportunities for the unemployed?
Not necessary.
At present, it seems that the ability of [Shen Yuan] is somewhat similar to the legendary "spirit leaving the body".
etc.
Zheng Xiu opened his eyes suddenly.
Assuming that a person has a "soul", then he was in the prison of the heart at that time, and he could also control the incarnation [Zheng Shan] in the prison of the heart.
Here comes the problem.
Is the "Apiao" who is wandering outside the body Zheng Xiu himself, or his incarnation [Zheng Shan]?
While Zheng Xiu was thinking, the poor old man was still chattering endlessly, as if the injustice of his imprisonment came from the richest man Zheng Xiu, and this time he hated Zheng Xiu as well.
"What I hate most in my life are you profiteers who are unkind and unjust in seeking wealth!"
"Colluding with the dog officer, doing everything you can to make yourself happy and to the detriment of your conscience!"
"Pooh!"
"You still dare to mention the sun, moon, heaven and earth, which are as clear as a mirror. If I can get out of this unjust prison one day, I will seize you profiteers, confiscate your homes, and turn them over to the court. No one will be left alive!"
Zheng Xiu rolled his eyes.
At this time.
The iron door chain opened with a clang, and a strong gust of wind blew in. Scar Lao Liu, a tall man, hurriedly walked into the cell carrying a basin of food and wine.
As soon as he arrived at Zheng Xiu's door, he squatted down and lowered his voice: "Mr. Zheng, what's wrong, someone named you wants to see you!"
Zheng Xiuyile.
Scar Laoliu looked around furtively, mainly in the direction of the entrance. He asked uneasily: "Master Zheng, has the blade... been discovered?"
Zheng Xiu waved his hand: "Don't worry, it's just a few gold leaves. I won't do anything to you if I find them. You can just enjoy yourself for a few days." After a pause in his tone, Zheng Xiu's nose twitched, and after smelling for a moment, he asked again: "What are you holding?
Is it...my delicious dish?"
"They said these are the signature dishes of Xiangmanlou. They are like a hundred phoenixes and birds of prey, a golden boy and a beautiful girl. They are so rich and powerful. They are rising steadily, scoring twice, going from morning to night... Ouch, I said, these dishes are not
It’s so cheap. If Lao Liu hadn’t said it was for you, Boss Zheng, half of the gold leaf would have been taken off!”
Scar Lao Liu proudly reported the names of the dishes one by one, feeling secretly happy in his heart. He had done a lot of homework for this, and it took a lot of effort just to memorize the recipes. Ouch, I am so exhausted.
Zheng Xiu understood and the implication was that he didn't spend any money.
"Why did you order these unpalatable dishes?"
Scar Lao Liu was stunned: "How do you know it's not good enough without even looking at the food?"
"Nonsense, Zheng worked hard to think of the name of the dish. If it's not enough, others won't know it until they eat it. I, Zheng, still don't know?"
"Lao Liu is confused!" Scar Lao Liu frowned and wailed sadly.
"Forget it, let's give him something to eat. He's been hungry for a few days." Zheng Dashan pointed at the inmate opposite, intending to retaliate with kindness: "Did you just say that someone was looking for me?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Only then did Scar Laoliu remember the reason for his panic, and said quickly: "There is a big shot who wants to see you! There is also a table set up outside the prison camp. It is full of vegetables, and they are delicious. Lao Liu, I
Only when I came back did I find out that the pot was ready!"
"Big shot?" Zheng Xiu looked very calm. It was expected that someone would come. He followed the conversation and asked, "Who?"
Scar Laoliu's expression changed slightly, and he came closer: "Shi Wentong, the doctor of the household department!" He quickly said with a mournful face: "Mr. Zheng, tell me... We spent all our wealth and managed to get a good job, but today we won't
Are you going to get involved in your old age? To be honest with Mr. Zheng, I am still looking forward to this job to provide for my retirement!"
"It turns out to be Master Shit!" Zheng Xiu stood up and raised his hands: "Then I have to go see him and untie him for me."
Scar Laoliu put down the dishes, unlocked the door and entered the prison. Hearing Zheng Xiu's words, he hesitated a little.
It's against the rules.
"I, Mr. Zheng, are very particular about people. I can lose my head and bleed, but I must never let others see the joke. Don't worry, I will let you solve it. I, Mr. Zheng, will not bring trouble to my brothers. If there is anything that Mr. Zheng has to take care of, you can
You can rest assured.”
Scar Laoliu thought of the two pots of fine wine that Zheng's second wife sent to him during the day. He suddenly realized that Boss Zheng was indeed the richest man in the imperial city.
When I got up, there were still a few mosquito bites on the bloody wound.
Thinking about this, Scar Lao Liu had a clear idea. Since he was bribed, he should be bribed more thoroughly. So Scar Lao Liu neatly untied Zheng Xiu's handcuffs and shackles.
Scar Laoliu was delighted to hear the word "brother". He watched Zheng Xiu leisurely adjust his clothes after loosening his restraints, and stepped out of the cell with his hands behind his back.
"I didn't expect it to be Mr. Shit from the Ministry of Finance, but it was a bit beyond my expectation."
Scar Laoliu's sharp eyes saw that Mr. Zheng's expression was not very friendly. He followed him a few steps and couldn't help but ask more: "Is there something going on between you and Mr. Shi...?"
Zheng Xiu shook his head: "Generally, it's just the hatred of seizing his wife."
"Where did this old beast come from!" Scar Laoliu couldn't help but get angry when he heard this, and drew out his whip: "Oh, I didn't expect that Mr. Shi would dare to get involved when he saw that half of his feet were about to step into the coffin boards.
Master Zheng’s wife? Oh no, Master Zheng, haven’t you married a woman yet?”
"No, I will take his wife away."
Zheng Xiu turned around and glanced at the stunned Scar Lao Liu.
