Chapter 790: Death at Nineteen
My heart skipped a beat when I saw this woman. I froze in place as if I had received an electric shock.
"Damn, how could this be such a coincidence?" I swallowed my saliva with a gulp. However, I did not speak first, but quietly stepped back and wanted to exit the entrance.
I know that the five senses of these living dead are extremely weak, their eyes cannot focus, and their hearing is seriously degraded. Although there is only a distance of two or three meters between us, in such a dark environment, she may not have seen me.
But the next moment, my expression froze, and even my feet that were stepping back were suspended in the air.
Because this woman actually spoke.
"Master Xu is waiting for you, come with me." The woman looked in my direction and said in a voice without any emotion. It felt as if the woman in front of me was not a real person, but a bionic robot.
After hearing what the woman said, I was stunned.
Master Xu is waiting for me?
How did this Master Xu know that I would come?
Moreover, from the tone of this woman, it seems that Master Xu not only knows that I will come, but it is very likely that he even knows my identity.
My intuition tells me that this Master Xu may not be as simple as I guessed before. It is very likely that this person also hides some secrets.
After the woman finished speaking, she turned around and walked straight into the darkness.
Seeing this, I hesitated for a moment, and then quickly followed.
The woman led me through the side hall, and then through a dark entrance, and then stopped in front of a door.
"Go in, Master Xu is waiting for you inside." After the woman finished speaking, she turned around and left. For a moment, I was the only one standing in the dim entrance.
I looked at the tightly closed wooden door in front of me, and I didn't know why I suddenly felt a little nervous. However, as the saying goes, since you are here, you should make the best of it. The person I want to see is the head of the Xu family in Xu Village. Logically speaking, the Xu family cannot participate in the Four Elephants Battle. Once they participate in it, it will break the rules of the Four Elephants Battle, so this Master Xu should not harm me.
With this thought in mind, I took a deep breath, then raised my hand and pushed gently.
I heard a creaking sound, and the wooden door opened. When the door was pushed open, I squinted my eyes and looked around, and then fixed my eyes on a bed deep in the room.
It was a very retro wooden bed, and it was very wide. There was a layer of gauze hanging on the bed, and through the gauze, I vaguely saw a very large human figure. There was a red dot flashing at the position of the head, as if there was a very large person lying on the bed smoking.
"Haha, you are here, come in." A somewhat weak voice sounded from the bed. This voice was not only weak, but also extremely hoarse, giving people a feeling of lack of energy and as if they were terminally ill.
I didn't go in, but stood at the door and whispered, "Are you Mr. Xu?"
"Haha, yes, it's me." The weak voice sounded again, and then I heard the voice continue to say, "Are you the Yin Tianxiang who was taken away by Zhang Du'e that year? I didn't expect that in my lifetime, I could see the two great celestial phenomena, Xie Tianxiang and Yin Tianxiang, with my own eyes. I have no regrets in this life, no regrets in this life, haha!"
As he spoke, he laughed, but as he laughed, he started to cough violently.
As he coughed, his huge body trembled, and the whole bed trembled with it.
I squinted my eyes, trying to see the true face of this so-called Mr. Xu through the gauze, but it was too dark here, and there was not only a distance of six or seven meters between us, but also a layer of gauze in the middle, so even I could only see a hint of his outline.
After a few minutes, the violent coughing gradually stopped, replaced by violent gasps.
"I'm old and my body is useless. Alas, I really envy you young people!" Mr. Xu took a deep breath, and then heard a "hissing" sound, but it turned out that Mr. Xu struck a match and re-lit his smoke gun.
When the match was lit, I could immediately see the huge figure on the bed with the help of the dim flame. However
, when I saw the huge figure clearly, my pupils shrank immediately, and my scalp felt like it was electrified, and it went numb.
The truth is, Mr. Xu's body is too big, so big that it is almost out of the scope of human body.
His body is extremely fat, so fat that his belly is like a quilt, covering his thighs, and the fat on his body is spread all over the bed, almost occupying most of the bed.
My God, how fat does a person have to be for the fat on his body to cover a huge bed?
At this moment, I suddenly remembered what Xu Nian had said to me. Xu Nian told me that Mr. Xu was a very good person, but he was a little fat, which made his legs and feet clumsy...
Damn, I thought to myself, how could he be just a little fat? This weight must be at least 500 or 600 kilograms, right? With such a large weight, he could apply for a Guinness record!
I secretly complained in my heart, and at this moment, I heard Mr. Xu's voice again.
"I don't have any hobbies in my life. The only two hobbies are smoking and drinking, and I like fortune-telling. Haha, are you particularly curious about why my body has become so fat?" Mr. Xu took a deep puff of his cigarette, exhaled a puff of smoke with a "whoosh", and then continued: "When I was young, I was still a normal person. The reason why I became like this is entirely due to the evil celestial phenomena!"
I was shocked when I heard it, and asked anxiously: "What do you mean?"
"Haha, Xie Tianxiang has been evil since he was young. He always does things that ordinary people don't understand, such as sitting in front of a grave and staring at it in a daze, or digging up a newly buried grave in the dead of night and eating the corpse inside... This kid is born evil, and as the evil energy accumulated in his body increases, he becomes more and more evil."
Master Xu took a deep puff of his cigarette, and then continued, "When this kid was young, he caused a lot of trouble and made our village a mess. I saw that his master didn't care, so I took the opportunity when his master was out and told him the hexagram I had drawn for Xie Tianxiang before, hoping to scare him so that he would be quieter in the future."
"You read the fortune for Xie Tianxiang?" I was startled when I heard that. My master once said that he had read the fortune for me, but because of the fate of Tianshe, he not only did not figure out anything, but also vomited blood. Since then, he never dared to read the fortune for me again.
Xie Tianxiang also had the fate of Tianshe, but this old man Xu actually read the fortune for Xie Tianxiang?
And you also saw the hexagram?
"That's right." Master Xu smiled and said, "Do you think I'm bragging? Haha, I'm not lying about this. I've been immersed in the art of the hexagram all my life. When it comes to fortune-telling with the hexagram, in this world, if I, Master Xu, claim to be second, no one dares to claim to be first. Oh, no, there's an old man in Wu Shushan who is better than me. Apart from him, in the art of the hexagram, Master Xu doesn't admit defeat to anyone."
He seemed to think he had exaggerated a bit, so he smiled and continued, "I admit that your master is very capable, but when it comes to the hexagram alone, that old guy Zhang Du'e can't catch up with me even if he flatters me."
I ignored his ridicule and asked in a deep voice, "What did you figure out?"
"I figured out..." Mr. Xu suddenly paused. Then, I saw that fat body seemed to move. A head that was disproportionate to the body was raised with great difficulty. He looked at me and grinned, saying, "I figured out that Xie Tianxiang will die when he is nineteen!"
