Reunion night.
The old house of the Zheng family was full of laughter and joy.
No one knows why the eldest princess Wei Ruyi appears here.
Her presence initially made the atmosphere a little more reserved.
But for some reason, when the music started playing, everyone in the Zheng family took it for granted, as if it should be like this. She should be here, and she should enjoy a Zheng family reunion dinner on this night.
"came back."
Qing Shisan said something inexplicably that even he himself could not understand.
It was as if everything that had been lost was back.
Zheng Xiu raised his glass and touched it with Zheng Haoran, then raised his head and drank.
He suddenly remembered the blank tablet without words in the Zheng family ancestral hall.
He is the only one in the world who knows that there is something missing on the surface of this "reunion".
Who is missing.
…
Da da da.
The last night of Tianjing Year.
A low-key black carriage drove slowly towards the south gate.
"Huo, General Huo!"
Although Huo Huo was disbanded and returned to his field, during his tenure as General Zhenbei, he taught many new soldiers under his command, and his seniority is still there. Regardless of their status, most of the new recruits in the Imperial City Guards now have to address Huo Huo as "Master".
They were all soldiers he brought out.
The childish look on the guard's face was still there, and he recognized at a glance that the carriage driver wearing a bamboo hat was General Huo, who had just taken off his armor.
"There is an order from above. During the curfew period, no one is allowed to leave the city without permission!"
The guard first bowed his hands respectfully to General Huo, and then turned businesslike with a straight face.
"It turns out to be you, Xue Zi."
Huo Huo remembered every soldier he had ever led.
They were born in peaceful times and had no chance to fight with the enemy.
They lacked a bit of bloody and murderous aura.
Huo Huo got off the carriage and showed his token with the word "Wei" written on it.
The guard's expression changed. Just as he was about to kneel down and salute the carriage, Huo Huo suddenly held the young man's elbows and said, "Don't make any noise. The third prince has important matters to leave the city. This is his order."
Xue Zi's face changed slightly, and then he looked troubled: "But General Huo, no matter who goes out during the curfew, they need approval from the Central Academy before they can pass."
Huo Huo forced out a smile: "It's an emergency... It's convenient."
"this……"
Xue Zi gradually moved his hands to his waist.
There is a knife there.
At this time.
A voice as thin as a gnat sounded in his ears:
Wow!
There was also the faint sound of turning pages of books.
"Xue Ronggen,"
"My ancestral home is Qianlie County, Qianzhou, and my ancestors are farmers."
"I was drafted into the army at the age of twelve and trained under Huo Huo for three years."
"When I was seventeen, I was appreciated and got a job as a guard. My family moved into the city, where they are today."
"My father broke his leg last year and was recuperating at home. Over time, he became depressed and became addicted to gambling."
"Your mother opened a small tofu shop to help support the family."
"In your home, eh? There is also a seventy-year-old prince lying in bed, who needs someone to take care of him."
"You receive the salary of the imperial guards and barely support your family."
Xue Ronggen listened to the voice in his ears, and his hands moved to his waist to tremble a little more.
The voice in my ear was like talking in a dream, and said:
"Poor filial piety in the world, hee hee."
"Hahahaha……"
Hearty laughter rang in Xue Zi's ears. At the same time, the same laughter came from the carriage.
Suddenly, the temperature in the laughter dropped sharply:
"Isn't it good to be alive...?"
At this time, another guard on duty at the south gate saw that there was a delay here and heard the strange laughter. He was wary and asked loudly: "Xue Zi, is there anything going on?"
call!
A gust of wind is blowing!
The sudden dark wind blew through the wall hole of the city gate, making a harsh "whirring" sound like the hissing of a ghost.
Xue Ronggen raised his head, sweating profusely, and looked at the carriage in horror. The dark curtain on the carriage did not move at all despite the strong wind. It was like a ferocious beast living inside, twisted and oppressive, making Xue Zi unable to breathe.
"Xue Zi!"
Snapped!
Only then did the other person realize that something was wrong and was about to ring the gong as a warning. Huo Huo moved faster, his figure flashed, and he knocked on the necks of the two of them. The two guards fell limply.
The wind stopped.
The young man's innocent face poked out of the tent, and he complained with a flat mouth: "General Huo, how could you act rashly?"
The third prince.
"It's not a good place to stay for a long time!"
Huo Huo ignored the third prince's complaints, got on his horse, drove out of the south gate, and headed south.
The carriage left the city.
The black mountains are like a beast dormant in the night, and the ink-like shadows splash freely under the moonlight.
A cyan figure quietly chased out of the imperial city.
The carriage ran for ten miles, and the cyan figure also chased it for ten miles.
clatter!
The green figure stepped on the willow branches beside the road, turned back strangely in mid-air, and landed on the roof of the speeding carriage, taking a photo with his right palm.
A piece of human skin the size of a fingernail suddenly enlarged, like a large net, covering people, horses, and carriages from top to bottom.
"Damn it!"
With a flash of the long knife, Huo Huo roared angrily and turned his hand to smash the carriage into pieces.
It took a little while and then it happened so fast. Everything happened in an instant. The chopped carriages and horses were absorbed into the enlarged human skin, and were automatically wrapped in the shape of dumplings in mid-air. They shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye and turned into a human skin. Like a squirming ball of flesh, it fell into the white palm of the woman in green.
The woman in green looked coldly at the shadow of a tree.
She rubbed off a piece of human skin again and kneaded it into a ball. The skin enlarged and revealed the remains of the carriage and a horse corpse.
After a while, another figure emerged from the human skin and made a sharp cursing voice.
"It stinks! How dare you lock me up with a stinky horse!"
"I will never enter that wretched place of yours again! Even if you tire me to death, thirst to death, and beat me to death, I will not enter that wretched place a second time if you don't laugh!"
Jun Buxiao complained about his dissatisfaction, but a strange smile appeared on his face. He put on a "crying" mask, took out a pair of ridiculously large scissors from behind, and reached forward.
call out!
The swinging tree shadows were instantly cut into black knives by Jun Buxiao's skillful hands, forming a sharp array of knives and scraping them deep into the forest.
Ding ding ding ding!
There was a sound of gold and iron clashing, and Huo Huo swung his sword like lightning, blocking all the shadow knives.
call!
The rapid breathing suddenly became a perfect bunch. The owner of the breathing sound dragged a long sword light, stepped on the thigh-thick tree trunk in one step, and used the force of the shock to get in front of Jun Buxiao, and slashed at Jun Buxiao with his sword. No laughing head.
"Wow wow wow!" Jun Buxiao let out an exaggerated laugh and backed away quickly. As he backed away, he complained: "General Huo, do you want to compare yourself to a foreigner with a mortal body? Do you understand the value of foreigners, you bastard! Qingqing girl!"
Jun Buxiao didn't say a word but it turned out that the woman in green was Yin Qingqing. She expressionlessly scraped off a piece of human skin and flicked it towards Huo Huo.
Huo Huo's expression changed. He had heard of the stranger's weirdness for a long time. The method of "collecting" the carriage in the blink of an eye made Huo Huo frightened. He saw Huo Huo forcibly closing the sword in mid-air and twisting the blade. , the crumpled human skin followed the slight arc of the blade and slid behind him.
"General Huo, if you kill me first and don't laugh, then that woman will have nothing to fear."
The sound of books being turned was heard in the woods.
Wow!
Mixed with the sound of wind.
The third prince paused for a moment and then said: "First break Jun Buxiao's mask, and his technique will be broken without any attack!"
Jun Buxiao squeaked, and the continuous laughter stopped abruptly.
He looked back at Yin Qingqing with a dull look, and pointed to the direction where the sound came from: "The sect leader didn't say that the third prince was also a member of the sect at first? Bah! Isn't the sect master bullying an honest person? What if the boat capsizes in the gutter? manage!"
"Shut up." Yin Qingqing scolded coldly.
"People will die if they are not funny."
Jun Buxiao made up his mind before shutting up.
Yin Qingqing: "..."
She decided to ignore this oddity.
"Secret Department?"
Huo Huo stood not far away, faintly blocking between the third prince and the two "assassins". He first revealed Yin Qingqing's identity, and then frowned and looked at Jun Buxiao who was wearing a mask.
"She is, but I am not. Hey, we are all from the same family." Jun Buxiao raised his belt in a high-pitched manner, with the Tantric emblem, a "red fire", engraved on it.
The third prince put his left hand behind his back and slowly walked out of the woods.
He usually pretends to be harmless, but now the sinister coldness in his brows is clearly revealed.
"Is it that bastard Wei Ruyi? Or is it her bitch named Zheng? Or is it my good brother? Does he want to play chess with me?"
The third prince said coldly.
Jun Buxiao shook his head and silently changed his mask.
The mask depicts an angry look.
Hearing this, Yin Qingqing was silent for a moment and said: "The Holy One will keep the Third Prince alive because of the blood bond, please don't embarrass us."
"Huh? Huh? Ah? Blood friendship?" When the third prince heard this, his eyes widened and he held his cheeks exaggeratedly, as if he had heard the funniest thing in the world: "Why didn't that bastard think about it when he killed his second brother? Blood friendship? Hahaha! Now talk about blood friendship with me!"
"What Holy One! What a bullshit Holy One! I am the one who deserves to be called the 'Holy One'! I am the one who should be sitting in that position! Why should she! Why should a woman sit in that position? That position should have been mine! I should have been there!" She should be killed! I should have killed her long ago! Just like that despicable bastard thirty years ago!"
"Thirty years ago, if Wang Cangyun hadn't been meddling in other people's business, I should have killed all these annoying guys! It's all the old immortal's fault, who was born here and there! Why are you looking for emperors and emperors! He would have been stunned! If he was an opponent With only my eldest brother and my stupid second brother, I would have been the emperor long ago!"
"I'm still not cruel enough! I'm not cruel enough!"
A terrifying grin appeared on the third prince's face. He stretched out his right hand, swoosh! The human skin on his arms peeled off layer by layer, and he turned as fast as the pages of a book.
Jun Buxiao showed a look of sudden realization: "How old were you thirty years ago! You are so insane and a beast by nature!"
The third prince sneered, ignoring Jun Buxiao's trash talk.
On the "Human Skin Book", the names of Jun Buxiao and Yin Qingqing suddenly appeared.
It clearly records all the "information" about Jun Buxiao and Yin Qingqing, including their methods, thaumaturgy, limitations, experiences, and...weaknesses!
On the last page, the twisted word "Xin Mao" was printed.
While the third prince was frantically "turning the pages", an inexplicable chill surged into the hearts of Yin Qingqing and Jun Buxiao. They were like standing naked in the ice and snow, in front of those crazy eyes, as if there was no secret at all, they were seen thoroughly.
Uh-huh!
An endless darkness as deep as the night spread out around the third prince. Yin Qingqing and Jun Buxiao felt their eyes blur, and they came to another world in an instant.
Huge books floated in the broken space, some were only as big as a palm, and some were as big as a mountain. The cover colors of each book are different, some are as black as ink, and some are as bright as blood. The only thing that is the same is that the books all have an "ominous" smell.
bass. bass. bass.
Eyes that are clear in black and white but without any emotion appear on thousands of books, blinking smartly. Jun Buxiao and Yin Qingqing had cold sweat on their foreheads. Those eyes were like the eyes of the third prince, looking directly into people's hearts and prying into the deepest secrets in their hearts.
Thick eyes opened overwhelmingly. The third prince sat on one of the books, looking down from a high position. He flipped the "human skin book" on his right forearm and said indifferently: "Between aliens and aliens, there are also differences in realms." , you... are far behind."
The third prince looked sarcastic, and suddenly he seemed to have changed into a different person. He showed an innocent expression, tilted his head and asked: "Isn't it good to be alive...?"
…
"Human beings are inherently unequal."
After eating a bowl full of fried fish cakes, Lady Anne patted her belly as bulging as if she had been pregnant for ten months with satisfaction, nestled in Zheng Xiu's arms, squinted her eyes lazily, and said lazily: "No, it should be It is said that there is no such thing as 'equality' in life."
"Some systems use 'fate' to distinguish, some systems use 'spiritual roots', some systems use 'talent', and some systems use 'physique'. Who says that man can conquer nature? Those are all illusions and do not exist."
"Human life is limited. Even if you give a person without any 'qualifications' an infinite life, he can continue to improve, but one day he will encounter a 'bottleneck' that he cannot break through in his entire life."
"Simply put, it is the limit of being born as a human being."
"So, Meow, why do I always talk about mere humans? It's not that I look down on them, but I'm talking about a simple fact."
“The world needs all kinds of people.”
"Everyone's 'position' is fixed from the moment he is born."
"The fallen existence seems to have set up an interesting system here."
"For strangers, opening different doors will give birth to different abilities."
"Well!" The orange cat raised its paws and added: "Of course, in the eyes of beings like us, these abilities are naturally not worth mentioning. But, they are quite interesting."
"There are actually many things similar to 'Strangers and Ghosts', such as mental landscapes, spiritual seas, small worlds, bodhi trees, and realms. In short, they are born when people's potential is squeezed to the extreme to a certain extent. Something. Hmm..." Orange Cat was afraid that Zheng Xiu wouldn't understand, so he thought about it and explained: "It's just like your red dot, which is equivalent to the 'home field advantage'."
Zheng Xiu stroked the orange cat's head, pressed down the hair raised by Lady Anne because of her generous speech, and smiled silently.
After a while, Lady Anne did not get the expected reactions from Zheng Xiu's face, such as "Master Anne, you are so great", "Master Anne, you are so good", "Master Anne, you are so great", she suddenly changed. De was depressed: "Did I tell you that?"
How many fucking times have you been reincarnated?
Is it really okay to be so fast as a human being?
In the blink of an eye, it has been reincarnated for a thousand years, once and again. I can’t see clearly!
No feeling at all!
"Allowing them to face the fully opened 'Alien Ghost' will give them an intuitive and personal understanding of the limits of the alien. As for how much they can understand, it depends on their individual abilities."
Zheng Xiu waved to Qing Shisan, who was still diligently picking up vegetables from Ji Hongou's bowl, and Qing Shisan ran over with his mouth full of oil.
"Come on, when you're full, let's go out and do some exercise."
Qing Shisan was stunned and touched the cigarette stick behind him.
But he obviously wasn't full yet.
