Looking at Wang Changsheng, who was standing quietly on the spot with no intention of getting close, the scholar paused slightly, and then suddenly realized: "It's boring to have wine without company, but it's the indifference of a young man."
The scholar waved his sleeves again, and in an instant, the clouds and mist moved, and the entire courtyard was filled with a faint mist.
After a while, the flowing white mist became soothing, and two figures slowly emerged from it.
But it was Zhang Caili, the daughter of the county magistrate, who was supposed to be unconscious, and Li Laodao.
At this moment, both of them had their eyes open, as if they were forcibly awakened by the scholar in some special way.
Their eyes were confused at first, as if they were waking up from a dream, and then they became horrified when they saw the scholar leaning against the old tree with a crooked neck.
Especially Li Laodao, when he glanced at Wang Changsheng standing not far away from the corner of his eye, he became extremely excited and wanted to say something, but in the end, his body just kept shaking and he couldn't say a word.
He couldn't control his body.
An anxious teardrop fell from the corner of his eye, ran down his old cheek, fell to the ground, and exploded into countless water splashes.
"Sir, please."
The scholar's laughing voice sounded, and in a trance, it seemed that he had returned to the dreamland.
Everything seems to have never changed.
After going round and round, I finally returned to the starting point.
Wang Changsheng remained silent.
He lowered his head slightly and looked at the peach wood sword in his hand.
The edge of the sword's blade reflected the moonlight, glowing with blurry light and shadow.
Spreading his legs, he walked step by step to the delicacies and wine laid out by the scholar. Wang Changsheng sat on the floor with his mahogany sword across his knees. His right hand still held the hilt of the sword tightly and never let go.
Looking at the scholar who was only one meter away, he said in a calm voice: "With your strength, it shouldn't be difficult to kill me."
"Speak out your purpose. The game of cat and mouse becomes meaningless if you play it too much."
Now that things have happened, Wang Changsheng has also looked away.
The pig demon did indeed die in his hands. There is no doubt about this. The panel does not lie. Therefore, the scholar who appears in front of him now is undoubtedly a brand new and extremely terrifying monster.
Or, its existence is the culprit behind Zhang Caili's coma, and the pig demon is just a "servant" to guard it.
He waved his hand and the clouds rose, and he raised his eyes in despair.
Such a powerful monster is definitely not something that I, who is still a "mortal", can fight against.
The only thing Wang Changsheng relied on was the "sword control skill" with one strike.
But he was not sure whether his sword control skills could kill the big demon in front of him.
It's not that his sword control skills are not strong, it's just that as a user, he is too weak.
The scholar's narrow eyes moved slightly, and his gaze fell on the peach wood sword on Wang Changsheng's lap. He praised: "Sir, I admire your exquisite swordsmanship. However, although the Taoism is good, there are also taboos. With a weak mortal body, you can It is incredible to drive the Dao Fruit, if you use it again rashly, you may suffer backlash."
"Besides, sir, there is no need to be nervous. Xiaosheng is here with no ill intentions."
"I'm just looking for someone to listen."
"Listener?" Wang Changsheng frowned. The scholar's words not only did not make him relax at all, but also made him more alert.
The other party actually knew that he was pregnant with Dao Fruit? Was it exposed when dealing with the pig demon?
"Sir, you are too guarded." The scholar shook his head and did not care about this point. Under its control, Li Laodao and Zhang Caili poured wine and picked vegetables with smooth movements. If it were not for their completely different movements, The anxious look in their eyes could even make people mistakenly think that the two of them did this voluntarily.
Wang Changsheng was not even interested in taking a look at the fine wine and delicacies in front of him. His eyes were fixed on the scholar, and his sword control skills were ready to be used at any time.
From the scholar's words, Wang Changsheng judged that it had misjudged his situation and believed that as a mortal, after using sword control to kill the pig demon, it was impossible for him to strike a second sword.
In fact, this is also true. If the power of the panel hadn't restored him to his peak state after upgrading, he wouldn't have been able to strike a second sword, and even standing would be a luxury.
Wang Changsheng didn't know whether his sword control skills, which he had become stronger, could kill the scholar, but this was his only trump card.
Under the blurred moonlight, the scholar raised his head and drank the wine in his hand.
Then, a gentle sound came from its mouth.
"There once was a young man in Yang County who made a living by selling geese. He had a green plum tree that was twenty-eight years old, tall and graceful, and had a gentle temperament."
"The two have been together since childhood and have been in love with each other. On the day of the Lantern Festival, the girl poured out her heart. The red moon under the moon was brighter than the lights in the sky."
"However, the young man knew that his family was living in poverty and he could not repay the beauty's affection, so he set a three-year period. After three years, he would come to the house in all his glory and carry a sedan chair to marry the girl as his wife."
"In order to realize his vision, the boy decided to go on a business trip. When he was leaving, he gave the girl a jade pendant passed down by her family."
"The quality is slightly defective, and the word 'goose' is engraved on it."
"The girl accepted the jade pendant and made it clear that no matter how long, she would wait for the boy to return."
"After that, the boy often appeared in places where ordinary traders would not dare to pass."
"Seeing that my savings were increasing, something unexpected happened. At that time, the mountains and rivers were in turmoil, and the enemy invaded. The young man was captured by the government and forcibly recruited into the military."
"The military life is harsh, and it lasts three years."
"The enemy invaders have been defeated and the mountains and rivers have been restored. The young man who has been thinking about the three-year period should be invited to return immediately. After receiving permission, he will return to Yang County as soon as possible."
Speaking of this, the scholar's voice became profound:
"But when the young man returned to his hometown, he was shocked to find that everything in the past had been destroyed in the chaos of war."
"Stop in front of the ruins of the girl's house where the old girl's house once stood, the young man wept bitterly."
"At the door, an old man heard the sound and came out. He handed a broken piece of pendant to the young man and said, "Girl, please let me return this thing to you, and tell you not to miss it."
"Led by the old man, the young man came to an isolated tomb on the outskirts of the city."
"This is the place where the girl's body is buried."
"The old man said that two years after the young man left his hometown, an enemy bandit disguised as a bandit broke into Yang County and robbed her wantonly. They also targeted the girl and tried to kidnap her away."
"A fierce girl, unwilling to commit herself to a thief, sends a hairpin to pierce her heart in order to make her ambition known through death."
"The thieves were angry, burned, killed, looted and fled in Yang County."
"After this incident, Yang County suffered heavy casualties. However, the villagers were ignorant and thought it was the girl's collision that caused a great disaster. They labeled her as a bohemian and free-spirited person. Her parents could not bear the humiliation and committed suicide. The villagers still did not understand. Satisfied, he destroyed the girl’s tomb.”
"The old man couldn't bear it and rebuilt the girl's tombstone, but he was afraid that it would be broken again, so there was no inscription on the tombstone."
"After hearing what happened here, the young man stood in front of the unknown tombstone, lowered his head and cried. Only half of the jade pendant with the word "I" was left, wet with blood and tears."
"The 'goose' of the past turned into a flying 'bird' and left, leaving only an empty 'me'."
"Sir, what do you think a young man should do?"
