In 1981, the hinterland of Wugong Mountain in Jiangxi Province. In front of a cave hidden in the blood-red woods, a man in white clothes, looking at a man in his twenties but with white hair, squinted at the grinning fat man across from him. With an angular tone, he said slowly: “It’s a waste of time for you to find this place, but I’m really curious about where your confidence comes from. I’ll definitely follow you to that polling bureau. It’s up to you to say you. Is your name Gao Liang? You are not my son, so why should I worry about you?”
“It’s just a title, as long as you can go back with me, you can call me anything you want. Even if it’s Wu Liang with your surname, as long as you’re willing, we’ll have no problem identifying as a godfather.” When he spoke, The fat man named Gao Liang smiled, then took out a bulging kraft paper bag from his pocket, respectfully handed it to the white-haired man, and after watching the man in front of him take it, he continued: “This object you Do you recognize it? In order to find it, my little polling bureau has not done anything else for the past two years…”
When the white-haired man touched the paper bag, he already knew what was inside. After pondering for a while, he took out a fist-sized jade human face that was almost transparent.
The small jade statue is vividly carved, which is exactly what this young man looks like. The eyes of the white-haired man looking at the jade statue were a little absent-minded, as if the thoughts that had been silent for many years suddenly appeared again.
The reaction of the white-haired young man was as expected by Gao Liang. He didn’t speak, just stared at the man in front of him with a smile. After the white-haired man came back to his senses, Gao Liang smiled and scratched his hair, stared into the man’s eyes and continued, “Mr. Wu Mian, I heard about this ice jade statue, and there seems to be another one about you. For example, whoever puts it in your hands, you will grant his wish or something, and I don’t know if it’s true…”
“Don’t talk nonsense, I recognize this.” Before Gao Liang could finish speaking, Wu Mian, a white-haired man, had already interrupted him, and after glancing at the fat man in front of him, he continued: “If your If the wish is for me to go to the polling bureau, then you have achieved this wish. But I remind you that this oath is only valid for you. If you are gone on that day, the oath will be automatically lifted. Even if your polling bureau collapses in front of me, I will not delay one more second.”
“As long as you don’t do it yourself, I will try to live an extra two years. Mr. Wu Mian, look…” After seeing Wu Mian let go, Gao Liang also let out a sigh of relief. Just halfway through the sentence, the young man named Wu Mian interrupted him: “Don’t be so polite, but I plan to be born here. Since you want me to re-enter the world, then Before making a complete break.”
When he said this, Wu Mian paused for a moment. He turned around and took one last look at the cave that he couldn’t remember for how long. Then he casually waved his arm in the direction of the cave. Just as Wu Mian’s arm fell, the cave in front of him suddenly collapsed with a loud “Boom!”.
When the startled Gao Liang came back to his senses, Wu Mian turned around and looked at the stunned fat man in front of him and said slowly: “From now on, Wu Mian has disappeared with this cave. Since you are blind, you dare to bring me into the world again, just like my new life. You should take the name of my life together.”
Rao is bright and shrewd, and was taken aback by such a perverse proposal. He blinked his eyes and said tentatively with a smile: “I haven’t eaten much meat recently, and my ears are a little irritated. I just heard that I asked me to name you, you said that this is so much coke…”
“Your ears are not deaf,” Wu Mian continued with his unique tone, as if he despised everything in the world: “Of course, it’s not impossible to call me ‘Hello’ without a name.”
After confirming that Wu Mian asked him to give him a new name, Gao Liang smiled bitterly, and a word popped into his head: “Hey…”
“Are you calling me?” The white-haired Wu Mian gave Gao Liang a cold look. When he said this, the blood-red trees around him instantly covered with a layer of hoarfrost. After Gao Liang shuddered, he immediately changed his words and said with a smile: “Hey…what…you don’t have to say it anymore, I understand. But I don’t dare to change the first and last names for you, otherwise, You still have your precious surname, Baohao, and later changed it to benevolence and righteousness…it doesn’t sound very nice, then Degui…that’s not what it means, or it’s called Peifu, which seems to have been called by someone…”
Although Gao Liang has a lot of hearts and minds, he didn’t think that he would name this white hair beforehand, and he didn’t have any preparations to say. Moreover, due to the constraints of the times, he didn’t study much, let alone think of anything. A special name.
At the moment, Gao Liang can only talk about the popular names in his hometown, but this white-haired surname is awkward to match with these names, and the more he talks about Wu Mian’s face, the more ugly. In the end, Gao Liang felt that he couldn’t go on. At this time, I heard Wu Mian say coldly: “I can listen to your nonsense until now, I have a little admiration for my good temper. But if you want to continue to test my bottom line, then you have to be careful, maybe In the next sentence you will say goodbye to this life.”
These words were spoken slowly, but in Wu Mian’s ears, this fat man with a small 300 jins only broke into a cold sweat. Finally, he gritted his teeth, looked at the white-haired man in front of him and said, “Wu Rendi, do you think this is appropriate? Even the nickname sounds smooth…”
However, the three words Wu Rendi thought of in Gao Liang’s mind had a different meaning in Wu Mian’s ears: “Wu Rendi… Well, this is also a name. This time it is yourself. Saved myself…”
The sky had already darkened when he spoke, and Wu Rendi, who had changed his name, looked up at a phoenix-shaped fiery cloud in the western sky, and murmured: “The days go by so fast, I almost forgot. What was it like before I was born…”
In the tenth year of the first emperor of the Qin Dynasty (210 BC), in order to seek the elixir of immortality, the first emperor ordered the great master Xu Fu to lead 3,000 boys and girls to cross Penglai Xianshan. In order to achieve success, Xu Fu fasted and prayed for a hundred days. On the last day of prayer, the First Emperor sent Prime Minister Li Sidai the Emperor to rush to the residence of Xufu on the coast of the Bohai Sea, and gave the Emperor’s sword, jade art and bronze mirror as auspicious objects.
It was already evening when Li Si arrived on the shore of the Bohai Sea, and the ceremony of praying that day had ended. Although he had known the news of the arrival of the Prime Minister on behalf of the emperor, the great master Xu Fu did not come out to greet him in person. Just sent the eldest disciple Guangren to greet him. This Guangren is also very strange. He looks only under 30 years old, but he has white hair all over his head. In addition to his large clothes, it is even more old-fashioned. Led by Guangren, Li Si and the others slowly entered Xu Fu’s lecture hall.
At this time, the evening class in the dojo was over. Dafang Master Xu Fu was sitting on the ground in the middle, holding a roll of bamboo slips in his hand. He looked down at the content written on the bamboo slips by the dim oil light. There were three people standing in a straight line. The three people, two men and one woman, could not tell their age. They were all around twenty to forty years old, but like Guangren, they all had white hair. There were twenty or thirty close disciples standing on both sides in front of Xu Fu. Although there were many people in the dojo, they were quiet and there was no sound at all.
In front of Xu Fu, a white-robed alchemist with a high crown sat respectfully. Li Si recognized this person. This person was the chief alchemist in the palace who served the first emperor to consume the medicinal pills. He was following the usual practice.
As expected, he saw Xu Fu closed the bamboo slip, looked up at the alchemist chief and said, “After taking the medicine pill, did your majesty have symptoms of drowning blood?” , On the day Dafang Shi left Xianyang, His Majesty the First Emperor suffered from drowning blood, but Lord Zhao Gao said that this was a medicinal symptom of a medicinal pill, and it was just to expel false fire, so there is no need to alarm Dafang Shi for this…”
Xu Fu’s face sank before the manager’s voice fell. With a “pop”, he threw the bamboo slip to the ground: “Zhao Gao…what is he? When did a **** become an alchemist? Medicine…he can’t tell whether he is a deer or a horse. Qing, do you know what a medicinal symptom is?” Having said this, Xu Fu paused for a while, staring at the alchemist chief, and when he spoke again, his tone became gloomy: “You think that you have changed my medicinal formula and your majesty’s medicinal stone. Symptoms, I don’t know anything?”
As soon as Xu Fu’s words came out of his mouth, the air in the entire lecture hall immediately froze. The alchemist manager’s face turned snow-white with fright, and he squatted on the ground, kowtowing to Xu Fu who kept on, and said, “Master Master Fang is merciful, this is Master Zhao Gao’s idea, a small official and a junior one really dare not go against it. Master Fang, you Compassionate, generous master…”
At this time, Li Si had been watching at the door for a long time. He did not let Guangren go in to report, but just stared at the scene in front of him with a sneer. After the alchemist chief was frightened, he sneered and walked into the lecture hall with his hands behind his back. Looking at Xu Fu, he said directly, “Is that how Dafang Shi treats guests? Although Li is not talented, he also represents His Majesty the First Emperor. Use Zhao Gao to dispose of Li?”
Suddenly one more person spoke, and almost everyone in the lecture hall looked towards Li Si. Xu Fu smiled slightly, and his body bowed slightly in Li Si’s direction, which was considered a half-salutation, and then said: “Take a moment, Lord Prime Minister, I was going to go out to greet you with courtesy, but I don’t fast for a hundred days. If you dare to leave the place of prayer, please forgive me.” With that, Xu Fu waved his hand, pointed to the futon in front of him, and said, “Sir, please sit down.” , ceded position.
Seeing Li Si sit down reluctantly, Xu Fu smiled slightly, took a clay pot from his side, and said, “This place is no better than Xianyang, there is really nothing to entertain adults. Sweet wine is still in the throat, adults please…” Xu Fu had already raised the clay pot. It was unheard of before today that Master Dafang poured wine in person. Even if he drank with the First Emperor, he had never heard of Xu Fu holding the pot. Although Li Si was the prime minister, he hurriedly took the wine cup beside him under the clay pot.
The light yellow liquor was slowly poured into the water glass. Seeing that the liquor was getting fuller and fuller, Xu Fu had no intention of stopping. Li Si raised his eyelids and glanced coldly at the generous master. Saying nothing, just waiting to see Xu Fu’s joke when the wine is full.
What surprised Li Siwan was that Xu Fu still didn’t stop when the wine was full. With the tilt of his hand, the sweet wine poured into Li Si’s wine glass continuously. The wine in the cup was more than double the height of the wine glass, but not a single drop spilled out. Li Si was horrified, but he had been the Prime Minister for many years, and he had long since changed his mind about anything. Although he was surprised, there was no sign of it on his face. revealed.
At this time, Xu Fu continued to pour down the wine as if he did not see that the wine was full. In the blink of an eye, the wine was several times higher than the wine glass, like a nine-story pagoda, trembling as he looked at it and was about to tilt down at any time, but Li Si was startled, and his hands began to tremble slowly, but he disappeared. A drop of wine splashed out.
It wasn’t until half a pot of sweet wine was completely poured into Li Si’s wine glass that Xu Fu stopped, looked at Li Si and said with a smile: “This kind of sweet wine is a pleasure to drink in one breath. Please use it, sir.”
After being shocked, he became furious. Li Si didn’t care about the majesty of the prime minister. He suddenly stood up from the futon, stared at Xu Fu and said, “Although Li Si is not talented, he is also a disciple of Gou Zi and a disciple of a saint. Why should Master Dafang use illusions like this? A trick to test Li!” After speaking, Li Si raised the wine glass high and threw it to the ground. “Crack!” With a crisp sound, the wine glass was shattered.
Xu Fu Li Si looked at each other, and neither of them spoke. For a while, no one in the lecture hall dared to persuade, and the atmosphere instantly became tense. It wasn’t until a long time later that Xu Fu smiled slightly, looked at the Prime Minister of the Great Qin Dynasty and said, “Sir, do you think this is an illusion?” Li Si sneered and said, “That’s right! If you deceive me with illusion, then Li can only report to His Majesty according to the facts, and ask His Majesty to rule.”
After Li Si finished saying a few words, Xu Fu laughed unexpectedly, then looked at the Prime Minister and said, “If your lord thought it was an illusion just now, then look at what it is?” When the last word came out of his lips, Xu Fu said With a wave of his hands, a fire snake with the thickness of the bowl mouth jumped out of his hands. After the fire snake made a circle in mid-air, it opened its fangs and flew straight to Li Si’s face.
Frightened, Li Si hurriedly raised his hands to cover his head, seeing that the Prime Minister was about to die in the mouth of the Fire Snake. Xu Fu changed his gestures silently. The fire snake turned into countless sparks at the moment when it was about to touch Li Si’s face, and then disappeared without a trace. However, the hair on the Prime Minister’s forehead was slightly scorched, and the entire preaching hall was filled with a scorched smell.
Seeing Li Si’s embarrassed appearance, Xu Fu smiled and said, “Excuse me, Lord Prime Minister, do you still think it’s an illusion?” Li Si stared at Xu Fu, and after a while, he gritted his teeth and said, “You don’t even think about it. The sun and the moon are turned upside down, and the stars have no light. It’s just a trick to deceive the world! It’s a pity that Li is not a fool. Master Dafang has found the wrong object this time!”
After speaking, Li Si suddenly turned around with a flick of his robe sleeves and was about to leave. But just as he turned around, Xu Fu had appeared behind Li Si. Li Si was stunned for a moment. He couldn’t figure it out. It was just a moment of effort. How could Xu Fu appear behind him? Just when the Prime Minister was stunned, Xu Fu’s hand had already been raised, and his hand was like a knife. Under the eyes of everyone, right Inserted into Li Si’s heart.
Li Si was completely unprepared for Xu Fu’s actions. He watched as Xu Fu’s right hand was inserted into his chest. The strange thing was that Li Si’s chest did not shed a drop of blood. Li Si could even feel the hand scratching in his body, as if he was looking for something. Li Si wanted to step back and break free from Xu Fu’s control, but his limbs were stiff and unable to move, as if he was no longer under his control.
A moment later, when Xu Fu’s hand was withdrawn from Li Si’s chest, there was a **** heart in the palm of his hand. The heart was beating in Xu Fu’s hand. At this time, Li Si also felt that something was missing from his chest. A sense of oppression hit him. He stared at the heart in Xu Fu’s hands with wide eyes. He wanted to say something, but when the words came to his mouth, they could only turn into “quack” syllables that popped out of his throat.
Xu Fu’s gaze shifted from holding the heart in his hands to Li Si’s face. With a giggle, he said to Li Si word by word, “Grand Chancellor, is this also an illusion?” When the last word came out of his lips, Xu Fu Suddenly grabbed the heart. The beating heart stopped. Li Si felt his heart tighten suddenly, and then his whole body shrank into a ball. He wanted to reach out and grab the heart, but before he reached out, he fell to the ground out of control, shaking like a convulsion. .
Xu Fu looked at Li Si coldly, and repeated what he just said: “Does the Prime Minister still think this is an illusion?”. Li Si wanted to speak but couldn’t make a sound anyway, and finally he used all his strength to shake his head slightly.
Xu Fu smiled slightly and squeezed his heart with his hands. With the stimulation of external force, the heart that had stopped beating jumped again. Xu Fu squatted in front of Li Si and returned the heart to Li Si’s chest. After this tossing, Li Si was dripping with sweat, soaking three or four pieces of clothes inside and outside, looking like he was soaked by the heavy rain.
