In the room, Dugu Sheng quietly held a book and read it carefully.
It's been half a month.
During the past half month, he was not practicing. Because he discovered that when he reached the seventh heaven, his internal energy no longer required his own control and was flowing according to the route of the "Breaking Territory" technique. Although it was not as good as
Penance is growing fast, but it is definitely growing.
Dugu Sheng has not told anyone about the internal force that operates automatically. Because in the cultivation books he has read, it has never been said that the internal force will operate on its own after breaking through to an advanced practitioner. Obviously, he is different.
Ten years of living in darkness made him very clear that sometimes, a hole card can mean a life.
This period of time has been the most leisurely period since Dugu Sheng was born. He just reads books every day. When he gets tired of reading, he will calm down and carefully feel the movement of the internal force in his body.
Occasionally, he would also think about what is it that allows the internal force to operate on its own. If he could find the reason and use it, he would definitely get better results. But he has never been able to find out the reason, so he simply
Just thinking about it.
The book in his hand turned to the last page, he closed it and slowly put it down. Dugu Sheng stood up and opened the door.
Behind this shop is a backyard, which is like a courtyard house. Dugu Sheng can see the blue sky when he looks up.
Looking at the sky, he only felt very warm and comfortable. He enjoyed this feeling very much. Facing the sunshine, the young man raised the corners of his mouth and showed a smile that no one had ever seen before.
However, the moment he stepped out of the room, the warm smile on his face instantly faded away, and was replaced by a dead face that was cold and killing, and kept away from strangers.
He glanced coldly at the scorching sun hanging high in the sky with disdain. The young man walked towards the outhouse and saw Shi Hean sleeping on a recliner, squinting slightly in the sun.
Dugu Sheng glanced at Shi He'an, who was sunbathing with squinted eyes. He was about to go out for a walk when he suddenly saw a straight-backed man walking towards the store.
The man looked to be in his thirties at first glance. He seemed to have thought of something happy. There was always a smile between his brows and eyes, which made him look particularly friendly.
Although the man was relatively strong, in Dugu Sheng's eyes, he was directly classified as a weakling without any threat. Because he could not feel any fluctuations in his internal strength in this man, he simply chose to ignore it. On the contrary, with this man
Compared to the man, Dugu Sheng's attention was more focused on the man's car parked on the roadside.
"Boss Shi, how can you bask in the sun in such a good weather? Come on, come on, get me some more fishing rods." As soon as the man got out of the car, he smiled and said to Shi He'an who was lying beside him.
Shi He'an curled his lips, as if he had thought of something, and his voice was slightly sarcastic: "Looking at you coming to my place to buy a fishing rod again, could it be that your fishing rod was thrown away by your daughter again?"
The man didn't take it seriously. He didn't care about the other party's ridicule at all. He still smiled at Shi He'an and said: "Boss Shi, what are you talking about? I came to you to buy fishing rods. Am I not taking care of your business? There are customers coming to your door."
Aren’t you still doing business?”
"Of course I'll do it if there's business, but it also depends on how it's done. When you Murong Tian came over, how could you not bargain shamelessly?" Shi He'an, however, was not interested in the man's words at all and retorted.
"You think I want you to
I have never used one of my fishing rods for more than a month, so I always have to reduce costs." Midway through his words, Murong Tian happened to see Dugu Sheng standing at the door, and he looked at the child carefully.
In his eyes, although this child looked very handsome at first glance, he looked very unhealthy. His skin was very white, so white that he didn't even look like a normal person. Moreover, the child's eyes were cold and cold, and his whole body exuded...
The aura of keeping strangers away made him shiver involuntarily.
I looked up at the sky. The sun was still blazing in the sky. It was May and it was exactly noon. You shouldn't feel like this. Why did you feel like this when you looked at this young man?
But for a moment, he thought about how he could see his daughter when he went home soon. Murong Tian swept away his cold mood and became active again.
How did Murong Tian know that in the past ten years, Dugu Sheng had been staying underground, with only a very rare chance to come out, and he had not even seen the sun a few times. Coupled with the purification of the essence and marrow by the practitioners, the body was
The impurities were almost completely removed, making Dugu Sheng's skin look a little whiter.
But this kind of whiteness is definitely not the kind of sickly whiteness! Murong Tian didn't know how terrifying power was hidden in the seemingly sickly body in his eyes.
Today is Murong Yunqing's eleventh birthday. Murong Tian hurried back from other places and just arrived in Linjin City. Shi He'an's shop happened to pass by and he bought things here several times. The first time was familiar, the second time was familiar.
Over time, the two became familiar with each other.
Moreover, Murong Tian also discovered that this shop owner, who seemed a bit old, about fifty years old, was quite similar to him in temperament, so every time he passed by here, if he was not busy, he would be more or less busy.
I want to come and chat with Shi and An.
"You still have the nerve to say that you haven't used it for less than a month. Is it because the quality of my fishing rod is not good? It's obviously your fault and it's all on me. Can you be more graceful?" Shi He'an immediately retorted.
It seemed as if what the other party said made him feel extremely wronged.
…
Listening to the two people's chat, Dugu Sheng looked at the sun idly. After listening for a while, he felt a little bored and suddenly didn't want to go out, so he was about to turn around and go back to the house. However, when he walked through the inner hall, two people away
When they were already more than ten meters away, they discovered that these two people seemed to have suddenly brought the topic of conversation to themselves.
Murong Tian saw Dugu Sheng leaving and saw him walking away. He thought he couldn't hear him, so he whispered to Shi Hean: "Old man, who is this kid? We have known each other for such a long time, and this is still the first time.
I saw him for the first time. Seeing how cold his expression was, he couldn't be your illegitimate child who was just brought back recently, right? Tell me, how many good women have you harmed outside, and even the children have come to your door."
After saying that, Murong Tian blinked twice at Shi Hean, smiled, and showed an expression that every man would understand.
Shi He'an was speechless, but he couldn't tell the truth, so he simply lied and said: "This child is a distant relative of mine. Recently, the child's parents died, so he came to live with me temporarily."
In fact, Shi He'an still had a good impression of Murong Tian. The decades of turmoil in the underground world made it impossible for him to reveal his true feelings to others. When others smile at you, you don't know what is going on behind the scenes.
But this Murong Tian, who seems a bit neurotic, is different. Although he looks a bit abnormal, he is the kind of upright person. This kind of person will speak out immediately even if he is unhappy with something.
Come on, be honest and forthright, and don't talk behind your back.
It sounds like he is a trustworthy person.
When Murong Tian heard what Shi He'an said and knew that Dugu Sheng's parents had recently died, his whole body froze slightly. He thought again of the look he had just seen and the indifferent expression on Dugu Sheng's face.
At first, he thought that the child was suffering from some strange disease, which caused some mental depression. Now it seems that it was because of the sadness of the death of his parents. He is also a very loving person!
"I said, old man, this child is so unfortunate and he is still so young, haven't you ever thought of finding a family for him? I think if you keep letting him go like this, that's not an option!" Murong
Tian said to Shi Hean with a hint of sadness.
Shi He'an sighed slightly. In fact, he had the same feeling after watching Dugu Sheng's growth over the years. Although Dugu Sheng has made great achievements in practice, he is still unfortunate after all.
Having lost the care of his parents since he was a child, Dugu Sheng has obviously become a little aloof. This can be seen from the name he chose for himself.
Dugu Sheng... sounds like a name that makes people inexplicably sad.
A victory of his own, a lonely victory, this is a lonely king.
The experience of the underground training ground should not become a child's childhood. However, his thoughts cannot change the world. Not only is this the case in the Dark Prison, but also the God of Death, and even the entire Source Star and all major forces must have similar experiences.
practice.
He can't change the environment, he can only adapt to it. He can't do anything about what those children have experienced. He is only responsible for intelligence, and it is only the intelligence of Imjin City. It is insignificant to the entire dark prison, let alone the entire
world.
Letting go of the racing thoughts in his heart, Shi Hean shook his head and then said: "You just asked me if I have ever thought about giving him a family?"
Murong Tian nodded involuntarily, but he soon came to his senses, because he found that a smile that was not a smile but a smile suddenly appeared on the other person's face.
"You, you, what do you want to do?" Murong Tian couldn't help but asked a little nervously.
Shi Hean smiled and said nothing, but still looked at him with a half-smile.
Murong Tian was a little confused. Suddenly, Murong Tian seemed to have thought of something, and almost screamed: "You don't want me to raise him, do you?".
"Bah!" Shi He'an almost choked to death. He stared at Murong Tian and said mischievously: "Don't you have a daughter? I heard you said last time that her name is Murong Yunqing, right? Bring her to talk to him next time
As friends, we might be able to get along and make a marriage."
Murong Tian was stunned. Then he yelled: "My daughter is only 10 years old. She just turned 11 today. You are an old and disrespectful guy. I would rather be his father than his father-in-law. Even if you are his father-in-law, I would rather be his father-in-law."
Let’s wait another 10 years, Qing’er is so young, how is that possible?”
Random didn't give Shi Hean a chance to refute, he immediately picked up the fishing rod on the table, paid the money, and ran away.
Murong Tian ran into the car, started the car and sped away.
And just when Murong Tian left, Dugu Sheng in the backyard closed the door. In a voice that only he could hear, he murmured in a low and confused voice: "Murong Yunqing?"
Finally, this young man said his second sentence since he came to the ground.
