Chapter 11 Chapter 11 "What happened next?" the boy asked...
"What happened next?" the boy asked.
The blind man smiled and said, "Later, there was a big chaos in the fate book of the immortal, and he had to pick two people from heaven to go down and quell the chaos. I don't know how they picked the evildoers.
He descended to the mortal world for the second time and became an emperor again, which is our former emperor. Because of him, the sword fairy also descended to the mortal world, but I don't know where this fairy is now. I guess she must be by his side.
With the Sword Immortal's ability, it is impossible for him to be unknown. Even if the evildoer was reincarnated as a human, he still vaguely remembered the chaos in his previous life and did not want the Sword Immortal to be more powerful than him, so he hid him away."
The blind man burst into laughter and took out a pot of wine from his bag and drank it down.
He gradually began to smell like alcohol, as if everything he had said before was just drunken nonsense and not worth believing.
But the boy was very sincere and remembered this story for a long time. Sometimes he would still remember the original scene in his dreams at midnight.
But the scenes in dreams are always a little weird.
The sky was gloomy and people's faces were blue.
There were people walking around, but they moved very slowly, stopping after every step, their bodies stiff, wearing clothes from the previous dynasty, as if they were corpses that had already died.
The sound of flowing water could be heard again in the dry streams and rivers. Sometimes it sounded like the endless drizzle on an April day, and sometimes it sounded like the eaves leaking and heavy hailstones falling from the holes.
The blind man was clearly right in front of him, but his voice would always pause for a long time from time to time, and when he spoke again he could not continue with what he had said last time.
So much so that he always wanted to get closer to listen, but the closer he got, the less he could hear.
Finally, he hit his head against the wall and woke himself up from his dream.
I didn’t feel anything special during the dream, but after waking up and recalling it, I found the dream scary, so I remembered the story even more clearly.
The injured man who heard the whole story had a complicated expression and sighed: "This story sounds fake at first, but as I listened to it, I couldn't help but feel it was true. It's really strange."
"Yes, in fact, the loophole is still very obvious." The boy nodded: "For example, in the story, the gods in the sky came down to earth and became human beings, just like humans. But if they are just like humans, how can they solve the crisis of world destruction?"
He shook his head: "I don't believe that one person can solve the problem of world destruction, unless it is not a crisis of world destruction at all, or it is not a person."
The injured man was silent for a moment: "I suddenly want to ask the swordsman to be my master and teach me how to protect myself. Do you think he will agree?"
The boy was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "He saved you twice, so he should agree."
"But why do I feel that the person who makes the decision is the one next to him?" the injured man asked hesitantly with a frown.
"That's possible. After all," the boy hesitated, "they seem to be quite close, so I don't understand why."
"Why?" the injured person asked puzzledly.
"One person is imprisoned and cannot take a single step out of his home, while the other is traveling all over the world. Who would remain indifferent seeing such a difference? Even if you really don't care and are not jealous, you can't get close to them, right?" said the young man, spreading his hands.
"Maybe they have a good relationship?" The injured person was not sure when he said this.
After all, he has really met many people who only talk about sex and not love.
Being lustful doesn't mean there is true love.
"Since you want to take the sword holder as your master, can I," the young man suddenly thought, "be a servant to this master? I can be a slave or a maid. I don't think he will treat me like a beast of burden.
If I am lucky enough to learn something from him, it will be enough for my whole life. It is also OK if I don't learn anything. With his status, he is still a centipede, and I can use him as a backer.
Those who are too strong look down on me, and those who are too weak look down on me, so it’s just right for someone like him to be my backer. Although I can’t beat the one who is too strong, I still have to take him into consideration. As for the one who is too weak, there are naturally other ways.”
"If these two things can be accomplished, that would be the best. However," the injured man hesitated, "from what I know, even rumors say that there is only one person in the villa halfway up the mountain, and no second person is allowed."
"The swordsman is wandering around here, but that doesn't mean he is not a human being." The young man spread out his hands.
"But look at his actions. How can he really be like an ordinary person? Even if he knows some magic tricks, he is better than an ordinary person.
Maybe people outside can't detect him at all, but we are not sure. After all, we know ourselves, we don't have that ability, and we will definitely be discovered. "The injured shook his head.
"It's a simple matter, just ask them. We'll talk about it when they come down to find us." The boy was very hopeful about this, so he said very optimistically.
The injured man nodded and said, "This is the only way now."
Fortunately, life here is better than in the mountain village, and there is not much hardship.
"What did you say?" The current official in the imperial study was reading memorials when he suddenly received news from the villa halfway up the mountain. He was surprised.
The person next to him repeated it again.
The current leader stood up with a frown on his face and asked, "Are you sure you didn't see it wrong? Is it really like that? He never had such a request before. This is not the first day he has lived there."
The people around him nodded in affirmation.
The current emperor walked back and forth slowly: "If it is just a servant, it would be fine. Forget it, I will go and ask him myself. I want to see what tricks he has."
The present man immediately set off for the villa halfway up the mountain.
When he arrived, Li Baili was playing Gobang with the Sword Bearer. They sat on one side, and there was a black and white chessboard on the table. On the left and right sides of the board, there was a bowl of black and white chess pieces.
The white one is white jade, and the black one is black jade.
The chessboard is simply a large piece of jade.
Just from looking at this thing, we can tell that even though the boat is rotten, there are still three pounds of nails. Even though Li Baili is down and out, his collection is still valuable.
It doesn't matter if you don't like the person, but if you like the money, you can't help but take a closer look. After all, most people don't have that much money.
Rich people are divided into those who are reluctant to spend money and those who are reluctant to spend money. Those who are reluctant to spend money will only save it and become misers, while those who are willing to spend money will exchange it for all kinds of expensive things just to make themselves happy. Usually the latter are richer than the former.
When the sword-bearer saw someone coming, he stood up, walked behind Li Baili, made way to look at them. Of course, they couldn't see the sword-bearer because he was still wearing a cloak.
This cloak will be effective as long as it is not taken off. He is too lazy to do it back and forth, so there is no need for him to take off the cloak unless he plans to go out for a long time.
The current emperor walked to the side of the table, took a look at the chessboard, and couldn't help but sneered, then sat down: "You are still playing this? I thought that a former emperor like you would at least play something profound. I didn't expect that you like children's toys now?"
"I have always liked these simple things. They don't require much brainpower, are not troublesome, and it's not a pity if they are broken. Your Majesty, are you going to talk to me about servants?" Li Baili looked at the present emperor and asked while still sitting in her seat.
The current emperor sat opposite him and said with a smile, "How dare you! You know I am His Majesty, but you still don't stand up to salute me. What crime should you be punished for sitting here?"
Li Baili stood up and bowed perfunctorily: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I have been living alone for a long time and have forgotten all these complicated worldly etiquettes."
"You are innocent. Please stand up and sit down." The current official waved his hand nonchalantly.
Li Baili sat back without thinking. He was usually too lazy to move, but now that someone had come, he had to go up and down to greet them. He was so tired that he almost couldn't control his expression.
The current emperor could see it, and said happily, "The feng shui of your place is very good, why do you look unhappy?"
"I have to do everything by myself, how can I be happy? It's not like I love beauty or the country." Li Baili spread out her hands.
"What? Are you still coveting my kingdom? You've fallen to this point and you still dare to covet my kingdom?" The current emperor was shocked and looked at him as if he were a warrior, with a sense of defense rising in his heart.
Li Baili sighed, helpless and exhausted, and explained: "The slave dare not."
This self-proclaimed identity clearly reveals the identity.
There is no difference between a prisoner and a slave, let alone a criminal.
A guilty slave is lower than a guiltless slave.
How can a being so lowly as to be in the dust dare to covet the throne?
The current emperor snorted, not saying whether he believed it or not, and said with a smile: "Then what kind of servant do you want? I will choose one for you."
Whether it was an intentional threat or a scare, the current emperor said grimly, "This place is special, and your identity is also special. It's not good to let others know. If someone really wants to be your servant, I will dig out his eyes, cut off his ears, and pull out his tongue, leaving him with only his hands and feet to work. If you don't mind, then tell me what you want."
Li Baili couldn't tell whether he was joking or serious. She looked at him and said, "Your Majesty, do you know that someone broke into here the other day?"
"Of course I know," the current man nodded, "Why?"
He paused and suddenly asked, "How do you know someone broke in here? Did the person who broke in even see you?"
Li Baili smiled and said, "The noise outside that night was unusual, so I knew."
Today, he was skeptical and looked at him with scrutiny, saying, "You want it?"
Li Baili suppressed her smile and replied, "I want to ask your majesty for an intruder."
"You are too late," the emperor looked at him coldly, smiling, and said, "If it were earlier, I would have sent the imperial guards to capture the man immediately and bring him to you. After all, this is not a difficult request.
Unfortunately, there were two intruders, but neither of them was caught. Isn't that a coincidence? You chose the one who was not caught. They must be strong. Why did you go against me?"
He slammed the table, stood up and demanded, "What crime should you be charged with?!"
