Hidden Blade Chapter 40: He bet I win
(ps: According to the plan, it will be tomorrow, which is the sixth day of the Lunar New Year. The update will be resumed, but after returning home, the body has been unwell. There have been signs of these things before, but I did not pay much attention to it. During the Spring Festival, it was due to fatigue. It has caused an outbreak, so I want to take time to go to the hospital for a check tomorrow, so I can feel relieved. I will ask for a day off again. I am very sorry. The update will be resumed on the seventh day!!!)
Xu Han fell silent again.
This time, he probably understood Chu Qiuli's feelings.
It is the fluorescence clenched tightly in the abyss of boundless darkness, and it is also the tender bud that is cared for in the boundless desert.
It doesn't help, but it's better than nothing.
That was the last gleam of hope left in despair.
And people like things are sometimes so strange.
It just takes a little bit of hope to have the courage to continue crawling in this world.
"So in the thunder catastrophe in front of Linglong Pavilion, you saved me, right?" Xu Han asked again.
About that thunder catastrophe, Xu Han actually had a lot of doubts in his heart for a long time
Neither its arrival nor its disappearance seemed too abrupt. Now that Chu Qiuli mentioned this matter, Xu Han subconsciously believed that it was the work of Chu Qiuli.
Unexpectedly, Chu Qiuli shook his head at that time.
The pale middle-aged man looked directly at Xu Han's eyes at that time, and said word by word: "Mo Chenzi is dead."
Xu Han's body immediately shook.
Since the change in Chang'an, Xu Han's feelings for Jianling have become complicated.
In the final analysis, his connection with Jianling originated from his encounter with Cang Hai Liu. If all this is just a calculation and a use, then his relationship with Jianling will inevitably come to an end. Kind of awkward subtlety.
But Mo Chenzi treated him extremely well, at least until now, Xu Han couldn't fault him at all.
After hearing the news of his death, Xu Han couldn't calm down after all.
He didn't know what Chu Qiuli meant when he mentioned this matter, but Xu Han couldn't help but ask: "How did you die?"
The boy's tone was terribly calm, like a low growl of some kind of beast from his throat. The light in his eyes flickered, like the lion that was forced to a dead end, unable to retreat.
And Chu Qiuli's answer far exceeded Xu Han's expectations. He said: "Because of you."
Xu Han obviously couldn't understand the meaning of the middle-aged man's words.
"The thunder catastrophe was blocked by him, and if I said that I really did something, after that, I will isolate your qi and make it impossible to find it in a short time. To you. And it was the thunder disaster that ruined Mo Chenzi's life palace." Chu Chouli quickly said again, clearing all the doubts in Xu Han's heart.
Of course, Xu Han knew that these things were definitely not made up by Chu Qiuli, and he had no reason to lie to him.
But he still couldn't digest the news in a short time.
So after a short silence, he chose to avoid this topic for the time being, and then asked: "What about then? Is the law of stealing the life of General Lin performed by you?"
Chu Qiuli nodded without denying it.
"Not only him, but Yuan Guilong and Master have my method of stealing my life. It is better to say that it is to steal your life than to change your life. In the end, I will also be in disaster."
The Chu Qiu who said here couldn't help but smile again.
Perhaps the words mentioned some taboos that Xu Han didn't want to face, Xu Han put aside his interest in talking to the man again. Finally, he pondered for a few breaths before he said: "Big Brother Chu has said so much to me, what is it for?"
Such words are somewhat unkind to Chu Qiuli, who has not much time at this moment.
But the middle-aged man who heard this did not show anger or sadness, and some were just a ray of unclear regret.
He pondered for a while, then opened his mouth again.
It's just that with the passage of time, Chu Qiuli's situation has changed a lot, and even something as simple as making a sound seems extremely difficult for him at this moment.
It took him more than ten breaths before he spit out the words: "I don't know, I want you to know these, maybe useful or useless, but after all, it is the last thing I can do... ."
After saying this, Chu Qiuli's face became paler and paler and seemed to be on the verge of dying.
But Xu Han's eyes calmed surprisingly, he stared at Chu Qiuli for a long time: "Big Brother Chu doesn't actually want to die, right?"
"Hehe." Chu Qiuli chuckled, his face gloomy: "How can I dare to die if the blood feud has not been reported?"
"Then live well!" His words fell, and Xu Han's voice suddenly sounded at that time.
Then, the cold-faced teenager turned around at that time and walked out of the room without looking back.
At that time, Chu Qiuli seemed to realize where Xu Han was going, and he opened his mouth to say something, but at this time his body was already extremely weak, Chu Qiuli exhausted all his energy. He couldn't make any sound.
......
Xu Han pushed open the door of Mr. Wei's room.
As he expected, Mr. Wei had already sat in the door of the room, waiting for his arrival.
Just as the other party had expected Xu Han to come here at this time, neither party showed much surprise.
"Did you think about it?" Without too much rhetoric, Mr. Wei asked as soon as he saw Xu Han.
"Yeah." Xu Han also responded at the first moment when Mr. Wei's question fell.
"Do you know the cost of saving him?" Perhaps it was a line that had already been designed, or he was surprised at Xu Han's determination at this moment, Mr. Wei asked again.
"It is fair to change fate." Xu Han's expression was silent.
"Fairness?" Mr. Wei sneered at Xu Han's words. He raised his eyebrows and glanced at Xu Han: "The price you need to pay far exceeds your expectations."
"For example?" Xu Han's brow also raised.
Mr. Wei hesitated slightly and said: "Chu Qiuli is a master of stealing the Holy Sect, who is proficient in the method of stealing life. This is the case. Three lives, three causes and effects, the cause of his current situation is not only the stealing of life. The reduction in lifespan brought by the law is even more the backlash brought about by the great power of the world after breaking the rules. If you do this way, I can help you achieve your wish, but you can only pay for the evil results. Save him, yours Shouyuan will be greatly reduced because of the three causes and effects. How long you can live, I am not sure, but I know that it will never be too long. Even so, are you willing?"
Will you?
Xu Han also asked himself this in his heart.
He and Chu Qiuli are not inevitable acquaintances. The two are walking along the way. Although they are companions, they have their own calculations. It stands to reason that Xu Han is far from doing this for him.
But in fact, Xu Han quickly gave an affirmative answer to this question.
This is a very simple logic.
Xu Han was willing to fight for Qin Keqing’s half-moon in the Senluo Temple, naturally for the life-saving grace, and more because Qin Keqing was the only thing he felt in his long twelve-year life as a beggar warmth.
People are like this.
When you have enough, some abandonment may hurt you and make you reluctant to give up, but it's far more than inanimate.
But when your only thing is taken away, you have no choice.
You only have to hold your head up, raise your chest, light up your non-sharp minions, and smile to the enemy and say, "Come on, fight for your life."
This is not the solemnity of a samurai~IndoMTL.com~ This is just the stubborn resistance of a bereaved dog.
And along the way, from beggar to assassin, from assassin to palace lord, from palace lord to today’s Dong Hiding Tibet.
Xu Han has never been to the point of nothing, but there is always little left.
This is the fact that there is not much left, every time Xu Han has to give up his life.
So, after hesitating slightly, he nodded his head again.
Such a quick and decisive response greatly exceeded Mr. Wei's expectations.
The old man with crisp shoulders in Mufa took a deep look at Xu Han, and asked again: "Why?"
This time, Xu Han's answer came even faster.
His eyes are narrowed, and the corners of his mouth rise: "Because..."
"He bet me to win."
"So, I won't let him lose."
