There was no sound for a long time, as if there was eternal silence.
I don’t know how long it took, but the old blind man took a deep breath, broke the silence first, looked at Source Master, and said: “Come on, let’s do what we agreed.”
"Are you sure?" Source Master raised his head slightly, his eyes full of solemnity, "Are you willing to exchange an inch of my body for the life of a saint?"
"What's not to be willing to do? Be it saints or mortals, they are all living beings, and they all have their own end of life, and it's just a matter of death. Exchanging a dying body for an inch of 'Supreme Spirit Body' is not a loss, it is better than turning it into spiritual energy.
Deny the world."
"You don't have to die, you have many ways to continue living." Longshou frowned slightly, seeming to be deep in thought.
"I said that I don't care about life and death. Besides, everything has to pay a price. The so-called life extension is nothing more than exchanging life for life. I have already committed too many crimes and I don't want to poison the common people anymore." The old blind man
He said with a smile and a relaxed tone.
Xu Sheng's heart sank as he listened.
"good"
The Source Master no longer hesitated, his eyes were focused, and then the vines scattered. A green object suddenly appeared from the vines, and when he took a closer look, it turned out to be a piece of ginseng.
Green ginseng!
It's really different.
"Click"
A section of the ginseng body fell with the sound and fell into the soil, and suddenly a large area of the ground glowed with a faint green light.
"Xu Sheng stretched out his severed arm and approached the spiritual root." The old blind man's eyes were eager and his tone was serious.
"good"
Xu Sheng did not hesitate, full of excitement, and tremblingly stretched his right arm to the spiritual root. Can he really reshape his broken body? He was looking forward to it.
"Taoyuan Transformation Body."
The dragon's head shouted softly, and immediately the spiritual root seemed to come alive. It suddenly jumped up and connected with Xu Sheng's broken arm.
"Shaping to fill gaps."
The dragon's head shouted again, and the spiritual roots stretched out countless tiny branches, slowly piercing into Xu Sheng's flesh and blood.
This process is not painless, but Xu Sheng, who has gone through many changes, is no longer the immature boy he was before. He gritted his teeth and remained silent.
This process was very fast, and it was over in a short time. However, the spiritual root did not stop, twisting left and right, up and down, and in a few blinks, it completely turned into a hand.
This hand!
Xu Sheng raised it gently and slowly made a fist. There was no discomfort at all, as if it was his own natural flesh and blood.
It’s so wonderful! It deserves to be the best spiritual root in the world.
The only thing that made Xu Sheng uncomfortable was that his hands... were green, like jade. Although they were beautiful, they were really weird.
"It doesn't matter," the old blind man said: "It's just a preliminary integration now. When the time comes, it will naturally turn into real flesh and blood and integrate with you."
"Thank you Lord Yuan."
Xu Sheng was extremely happy. Who would have thought that a severed body could be restored? Earlier, he had been in pain and silently accepted the fate of being disabled. Now... he is really pleasantly surprised.
"You're welcome, we are just exchanging." The rattan shrank again, tightly wrapping the green ginseng body. It was obvious that the rattan was tightened even more closely, and the dragon's head was smaller than before.
After all, the spiritual body is only a little more than three inches long, and the cut-off section already accounts for one-third. No matter who cuts off 30% of his body, his vitality will not be injured.
"Xu Sheng——"
The old blind man suddenly shouted in a loud voice. Xu Sheng's heart tightened, knowing that at this moment, the old blind man must be explaining something extremely important.
"I..." the old blind man hesitated, and after a long pause, he said with difficulty: "I am a sinner, and my name will be nailed to the pillar of shame in history. I...three
Ten years ago, my name was Wei Xian."
"What? How could it happen?!" Xu Sheng felt like the world was spinning and he almost fell down.
"I said, I am Wei Xian."
Wei Xian!
This name is too shocking.
Everyone in the world knows about the Great Rebellion in Guandong, which started with two people of the Wei family, their brother Wei Li and his younger brother Wei Xian.
It was they who opened the curtain of the rebellion thirty years ago. They were the leaders of the first batch of rebels; they were cancer in the eyes of the imperial court; they were demons who could "stop babies from crying at night"; they were hated by the people.
The "human slaughter" that goes to the bone.
The old blind man is Wei Xian!
How can it be?
It was rumored that "Yiyang was defeated", Wei Xian was killed in ambush, and Wei Xian committed suicide, which is known to everyone.
Now, the dead have reappeared.
If the old blind man was Wei Xian, it would be quite reasonable for Xu Sheng to pinch his thigh.
Yes, thirty years ago, Wei Xian was about forty years old and in his prime. Today, he is not an old man in his seventies. Legend has it that both of them studied "demon arts" and used human life to practice them. Everywhere they passed, they would definitely die.
Mountains and seas of blood, so it’s not surprising that the old blind man could show such huge vitality before.
"Are you really Wei Xian?" Xu Sheng asked in a trembling voice. Although he already had a rough answer in his mind, he still didn't want to admit it.
After getting along for several months and moving forward, the old blind man has always behaved like an elder. Although he is sometimes too domineering and strong, it is all to protect his weak self!
Xu Sheng really couldn't connect the notorious "human massacre" Wei Xian with the upright and kind-hearted old blind man in front of him.
"Yes, I am." The old blind man was absolutely certain and could not tolerate the slightest doubt.
"Don't be surprised." The old blind man patted Xu Sheng's shoulder and said softly: "Do you want to hear me tell a story?"
"Yes." Xu Sheng nodded. He knew that the old blind man would never say useless words, and the story he wanted to tell must be full of profound meaning.
"This story is too old, where should I start?" The old blind man smiled, but he could not see the slightest happiness.
"At that time..." He paused, pondered for a long time, and then said softly: "There was a poor family in Liaozhou, a family of seven, who had been tenant farmers for generations. Although their lives were difficult, they could barely make ends meet.
, we can still survive. But who would have thought that there would be a severe drought for three years? Five of the family of seven starved to death overnight, and only two brothers remained."
"That year, my elder brother was fourteen and his younger brother was only nine years old. In order to prevent his only relative from starving to death like his ancestors, my elder brother decided to ask for help from his master's family. Although the elders had tried before, it didn't work.
They treated each other coldly. But the elder brother had no choice. He knelt at the master's feet, kept kowtowing, and begged. However, all he got in response was abuse and beatings. In the end, perhaps because he was upset by the entanglement, the master treated him well.
I threw the white rice into the pig pen and told my brother...if he ate it, he would give him thirty kilograms of soybeans."
"Then... my brother... rushed to the pig trough, mixed the pig food and feces, and... swallowed it... bite by bite."
At this point, the old blind man stopped and stopped talking. Even though he was as strong as he was, he actually shed tears.
Hearing this, Xu Sheng was also stunned. From the plain narrative, he really felt a sense of sadness. He felt the same. He had also experienced the pain of losing his parents, and he had also experienced hunger.
It's just...not as heavy as the old blind man's story.
"However, thirty pounds of soybeans were eaten quickly. What should we do next?"
"My brother really had no choice but to steal food. In those days when food was more expensive than money, this was a dangerous activity that could kill people. At first he was lucky, but later he was caught."
Xu Sheng's heart dropped. Although he understood that everything had happened and was a foregone conclusion, he still felt uncontrollably worried.
"If you are caught, you will die. In that period when life was worth less than grass, it was really common."
The old blind man continued: "But my brother is not dead. He is very smart. Using his thin body and immature appearance, he deceived everyone, and when those people took it lightly... he carried out counter-attacks! That year he
When he was fourteen years old, that day he killed for the first time, and that time he killed three people."
Xu Sheng was speechless, but felt a chill.
"It's not over. People who start killing are scary, especially for a poor man who has lost almost everything and has experienced 'hell'. Although he is only fourteen years old, he hates this world and hates those who don't use it.
People who work for food hate those gentlemen who regard human lives as pigs and dogs. He was angry and crazy. One night, he sneaked into the master's house and killed fourteen members of the family with one knife! "
The old blind man paused.
"Then he took his brother on a journey of escape until that day."
"That day!"
Xu Sheng clearly heard the violent mood swings in the old blind man's tone.
"That day was in a mass grave. The two brothers were starving and there was really nothing they could do. The elder brother kept encouraging the younger brother, but he was dying and could hardly speak. If it didn't work, just
Just die here. There are so many dead people, so you won’t be lonely. Both brothers thought so."
"But at this time, a man came over from a distance. The man looked ordinary, so ordinary that it was forgettable. But his whole body was shining. He took out a piece of steamed bun from his arms and divided it into two halves.
Half of it was given to my elder brother, and half to my younger brother."
"He quietly looked at the two brothers eating like beasts, and then asked: 'Are you full?'. 'No' was answered by his younger brother. That small portion was just a drop in the bucket for a hungry man.
It's not enough to fill your teeth. 'Do you want to eat enough?' he asked. 'Of course.' The two brothers nodded heavily, as if they had grasped hope at that moment."
"'As long as you are obedient, you will not only have enough to eat, but also enjoy all the glory and wealth.' There was an indescribable attraction in the man's voice. 'We must be obedient, please tell us what to do.' Brother.
He asked tremblingly, kneeling in front of the man."
"The man smiled, threw down a stack of yellowed papers and a bag of dry food, and told the two brothers: 'As long as you follow what the book says, you will one day become famous and rise above thousands of people.
."
"The two brothers did what they did, and their fate changed. Many years later, they found out that what was printed on the paper was a set of exercises called "Mysterious Skills of Life and Death."
"Mysterious Skills of Life and Death"!
This is the third time Xu Sheng has heard this word. The first time was from the weirdo from the Xu family, who praised the "all-purpose method" as being superior to the "Xuan Gong of Life and Death"; the second time was from the old blind man who passed it on to Xu.
When he defeated the "Nirvana Sutra", he once called it "The Mysterious Art of Life and Death" and "The Universal Method"."
What kind of set of exercises is "Mysterious Skills of Life and Death"? Can it be compared with "The All-In-One Method"?
Xu Sheng, who possesses two peerless secret scriptures, is very curious about this. Although he can't understand the "Nirvana Sutra" at all, he has personally experienced the mystery of the "Universal Method".
"The Mysterious Technique of Life and Death is a divine skill, but it is also an evil way." The old blind man spoke slowly, as if he was still immersed in grief, "The Mysterious Technique of Life and Death is actually two completely different sets of skills.
The other is the "Xuan Gong of Death". Since the vitality has dissipated and the spiritual energy has dried up, cultivation has become an extremely difficult task, but the "Xuan Gong of Life and Death" provides another way."
"Another way!?"
Xu Sheng said to himself, full of doubts.
"Yes, another way. It doesn't require vitality or spiritual energy. All it needs is vitality. The vitality is omnipresent in this world. "Shengxuan" is to stimulate acupoints to stimulate the vitality in the body. Some ancients believed that the human body is its own world.
From this theory, the human body has infinite vitality and can fully support any level of cultivation. But that is only a theory. In fact, every step in "Sheng Xuan" is extremely dangerous, and every impact on acupuncture points is extremely painful.
, if you are not careful, your body will collapse. So the two brothers chose "Death Mystery" at the same time."
"Relatively speaking, "Death Mystery" is much easier. You only need to kill people. It couldn't be easier to kill people to steal your life. Everything went smoothly at first, but soon the problem became apparent: killing people is addictive.
While absorbing vitality, it will also absorb a considerable amount of 'death energy'. Those 'death energy' will make people crazy. So the results can be predicted. If you kill one person, you will want to kill another person. If you kill a hundred people, you will kill a thousand people! Brother
The two went completely crazy. In order to kill people better, they chose to rebel! They fooled the people, they preached heresy, and they established a demonic cult. In the day after day of killing, they turned into demons and became evil spirits.
The fierce ghost became the infamous 'human massacre'."
"Alas!"
Xu Sheng took a breath of cold air. He had never experienced war, but he could imagine the tragic scene of mountains of corpses, seas of blood, and numerous bones. Just thinking about it made him shudder.
"Then what?"
Xu Sheng asked, knowing that the story was far from over.
"Then..." The old blind man closed his eyes, thinking, trembling, and crying, "Then suddenly one day, my brother found that his cultivation seemed to have reached a bottleneck, and he could not break through. No matter how many people were killed, he could not make any progress.
. He continued to try and kill like crazy, and at the same time, a bad premonition became stronger and stronger. Until one day... a big bronze hand fell from the sky and refined him into a bloody fruit!"
Giant bronze hand! Bloody fruit!
Xu Sheng was very familiar with all this. He had witnessed it with his own eyes a few months ago. He even had a direct confrontation with the "big bronze hand" in the dark forest. He tried to connect everything together, and despite the pain in his head, he still couldn't.
He has no clue. But one thing is certain: there are shady forces directing all this, and he, the weirdo from the Xu family, the old blind man, and Wei Xiu are all involved.
"I was scared after my brother was captured." The old blind man sobbed, replacing the younger brother in the story with himself. In fact, Xu Sheng didn't know that the story the old blind man told was his own personal experience.
"Later, I tried hard to restrain myself and nearly died several times before I suppressed my bloodthirst and revised "Shengxuan". It was during an attack of bloodthirst that my eyes were cut off by myself in order to stay awake.
"Yes." The old blind man's voice became smaller and smaller until he fell silent.
Accompanying the silence was Xu Sheng's trembling heart. He looked at the old blind man, and at this moment, he felt familiar yet unfamiliar.
Such a story!
If you don't hear it with your own ears, if you don't trust it, who can believe it?
