In an empty inner street, a man in his forties or fifties led two middle-aged men who looked very experienced and walked out of a claustrophobic alley.
"This place is really gloomy, Old Li Tou, if you dare to lie to us, you know the consequences!"
One of the middle-aged men looked at the desolate surroundings and snorted coldly.
"Don't worry, two adults, I would never dare to deceive you two." Old Li Tou held a basket in his hand and nodded and bowed to the two of them.
"I hope so. If you dare to lie to us, you know the consequences!" The middle-aged man snorted coldly, not giving Old Li a good look at all. In his eyes, the old guy who was over fifty years old in front of him was just a human being.
Just a piece of trash begging for mercy.
"Yes, yes... don't worry, sir!" Lao Li's head was almost in his throat, and he bowed his head repeatedly.
The three of them walked on the road, with Lao Li leading the way. Looking at the clay sculptures placed in front of each shop, a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes involuntarily, but he hid it well and did not expose anything.
He walked all the way to the end of the street, or maybe on the street, to the shop that belonged to him. It was a shop that clearly belonged to him, but he had never entered.
This shop is different from other shops. Except for Xue Miaomiao's shop, this shop is the only one without clay sculptures in front of the door.
"Two adults, wait a moment!"
With a smile on his face, Lao Litou quickly stepped onto the steps and knocked hard on the door button, which was almost rotten.
"Old man, open the door! Old man!"
Lao Litou's voice suddenly doubled in volume, sounding very impatient.
The sound of iron chains clashing came from the door. After a while, the paint-peeled wooden door slowly opened a crack, revealing the old man who was dirty and looked like a beggar, with his feet bound by chains.
.
"Xu'er..."
The old man looked at Lao Litou standing in front of the door, with a little concern in his old voice.
"Stop talking nonsense! If you don't want to starve to death, just hand over your things to me!" Lao Litou said sternly without giving the other party any good looks. Then he put down the basket in his hand and took out some good wine.
vegetable.
"You said that you are so old and you are suffering here? You want me to suffer with you? There is no point in following those broken rules!"
The aroma of food penetrated my nose, and the physical impulse made him swallow involuntarily. The yellow and thin face proved that she had not eaten for several days. But looking at the delicious food in front of her, the old man
Yi stood like that, with lust in his eyes, but he controlled himself tightly.
"Let's go...Xu'er, the fate between you and me has come to an end. The things here cannot appear in this world, they cannot appear in this world! The teachings of our ancestors..."
"Fart! I was adopted by you, not your biological son. What kind of ancestral teachings should I follow?
Do you know that I don’t even dare to marry a wife because of you? I’m afraid that my children will become like you and stay in this dark place with no hope at all!” Old Li glared at the old man angrily.
What he hates the most is hearing the old man emphasize the ancestral teachings to him. Just because of this broken ancestral teachings, his life has been wasted to this point, and now he still cares about this? He can't live anymore, what's the use of sticking to the rules?
"Old Li Tou, can you solve it? If you can't solve it, we will really take action! You have been given enough time, but you have disappointed us so much!"
The two middle-aged men at the foot of the steps were a little impatient and couldn't help but urge him.
Hearing the urging of the two people behind him, Old Li Tou quickly turned around, put a smile on his face again, and said with a doggy smile: "Hurry up, sir, hurry up!"
Turning around again, Lao Li glared at the old man fiercely and said in a low voice: "Give them the things and follow me. We will have nothing to worry about for the rest of our lives, and we will get there safely! That's it!
good!
I have never asked you for anything, dad! I am not your biological son, but you have raised me for half your life. Even if there is no blood relationship, there is companionship, right? You have to think about me!"
"You are harming people! You are harming people! I locked my feet with iron chains because I was afraid of leaving this place like you are now. But if I leave... I will be ashamed of my ancestors!
I won’t let you enter the store, I just don’t want you to follow in my footsteps! You say you were adopted by me, but I treat you like my own son!
When you become an adult, I will not let you enter the store, so that you are not considered a member of my Li family, and you do not have to have the same fate as me! When I die, future generations will not have to suffer anymore, and I will be worthy of my ancestors.
I don’t want you to wear heavy chains, but you shouldn’t do what you are doing now!”
The old man's muddy eyes were filled with tears. He bent his legs and knelt directly in front of Old Li Tou, pleading.
Lao Litou didn't expect that the old man would kneel down directly for him. He unconsciously took a step forward with his right foot and suddenly raised his hands, trying to step forward to help him. However, his hands had just reached halfway. Lao Litou looked at his feet.
The threshold that had already begun to rot finally put down his hand. He clenched his fists tightly in his sleeves, but his eyes were so cold.
"Dad, I have to take things away today!"
Lao Li waved his sleeves and robe vigorously, walked down the steps quickly, and knelt in front of two middle-aged men.
"Sir, that old man is insane. There is no need for you to argue with a crazy old man who is about to step into the coffin. Spare his life!"
After saying that, Lao Li kowtowed heavily to the two people in front of him.
On the stone road, scarlet blood bloomed into gorgeous flowers. The two middle-aged men looked at this scene with indifference and laughter in their eyes.
"Ignorant, trash!"
One of them stretched out his kick and kicked Old Li's head several meters away.
The old man in the door watched this scene and stood up hurriedly out of instinct, trying to rush out and help Lao Litou up. However, the chains under his feet stuck tightly, causing him to stumble and fall on the threshold.
"Even if I demolish this store today, I still have to find the things!"
…
…
"you're awake?"
Mo Fan looked at the awakened Lingling and couldn't help but be overjoyed.
Just after regaining consciousness, Lingling's brain was a little confused. She looked at Mo Fan in front of her and was slightly stunned. Then she suddenly grabbed Mo Fan's arm and said with some horror: "They are all madmen, so many souls! So many imprisoned people."
soul!"
"Calm down, it's okay! It's okay!"
Mo Fan's arm hurt. Lingling used a lot of strength. The little girl was obviously frightened.
"what's going on?"
Duanmu Fang hurried forward and asked.
"Do you have to ask at this time?" Mo Fan turned around and glared at Duanmu Fang. Looking at Lingling, whose eyes were a little dull, his heart was full of regret and worry.
Duanmu Fang couldn't help but take a step back and said lightly, "I'm sorry."
"Stop investigating this matter. We can't control it. Where is Shen Mingren? We must tell him not to investigate this matter any further. The power of those people is not something we can fight against."
Lingling took a deep breath, gradually calmed down, and said very solemnly.
Mo Fan was silent for a while and said: "Mingzi, he is not here now. He may have a reason why he must investigate! I really don't think I can persuade him..."
…
…
I don't know how long it took, and Shen Ming stayed in this state of confusion.
There is no difference between day and night here, because the dark clouds cover the entire sky, but the flashing thunder renders the world into day.
"Boom!"
Another bolt of thunder struck Shen Ming's body like a life-seeking golden chain.
A "click" sound!
In Shen Ming's dantian, the thunder bead that had been supported to the limit at that moment finally couldn't hold on anymore. The cracked thunder bead shattered at this moment, turning into dots of purple light that merged into the dantian.
Shen Ming only felt that he had been numb for a long time, and his body suddenly felt pain again. The pain was like black ink dripping into the water, slowly but gradually spreading to all parts of his body!
His consciousness and body were connected again, and Shen Ming finally regained control of his body, despite his crushing pain!
Shen Ming opened his eyes, tried to control his body, mobilized his mind control, and fished himself out of the water.
"It's just a little bit close! Just a little bit..." Shen Ming stood on the lake and raised his right hand.
The body has become so strange, not only in terms of perception, but also there are some scary cracks on it! It seems that this is not the first time that this body has become like this. It clearly has a terrifying body that is not like a magician at all.
, but was always screwed up by Shen Ming.
"It's like a piece of ceramic, hard enough, but easy to break! But I can't care for you like I care for a piece of ceramic."
Shen Ming seemed to suddenly understand something. His whole body was covered with thunder falling from the sky, but he was no longer afraid at all.
Although there is no thunder bead, this painful journey is almost over!
In the sea of stardust, the originally dim Thunder Tyrant seems to have gradually regained its former majesty! The 2041 thunder star particles trembled slightly, seeming to welcome their king back!
"Boom!"
Lightning like spider webs roared in the rolling clouds, and golden thunder pierced the night sky.
Another round of baptism in the apocalypse. How insignificant is Shen Ming under this brilliant power of heaven?
"Come on! We are in a fair confrontation now. You should have been impatient with me for a long time, right?"
Shen Ming pointed to the sky with his broken fingers. He had reached the last step and he could never give up!
As if sensing Shen Ming's provocation, a thick thunder dozens of meters wide suddenly fell.
In an instant, golden thunder engulfed Shen Ming, and the pain that seemed to pierce the bone marrow and penetrate the soul tortured Shen Ming again.
Without the protection of thunder beads, Shen Ming's hair is disappearing, his eyebrows are disappearing, but his broken body is slowly healing.
In the Dantian, as a little golden light appeared, slowly, more and more golden light appeared and began to condense.
"What doesn't kill me will only make me stronger!"
