The fierce sword energy cut the spider's body mercilessly, almost instantly annihilating it into countless flesh and blood fragments, which splashed into the deep mountains and forests.
Ye Fan looked at the young man walking out of the blood rain with a sword, his pupils contracted slightly.
"How can this be… "
Ye Fan had long sensed that little Zhouping had no trace of the Divine Ruins or the Forbidden Ruins, and no spiritual power. He was just an ordinary boy. Asking himself, he also doubted why Uncle Shang valued this child so much... This boy's There is absolutely no potential in him to become the brightest star among human beings.
But the current scene, whether it was the beating Liuli heart or the terrifying sword energy that instantly killed "Chuan", was completely beyond his understanding!
That heart... what exactly is it
Plop-plop-plop! !
The strong heartbeat sounded like a war drum, echoing under the dead night sky. In the young man's faltering steps, the glass heart exposed to the air was gradually covered by flesh and blood.
By the time the boy took ten steps, his heart had returned to his body and the echoing heartbeat had disappeared.
But the awe-inspiring sword energy that filled the world still poured out from the young man's palm!
"Who's there?"
Xiao Zhouping's eyes were closed tightly, scarlet blood flowing from his eyes. He faced Ye Fan's direction vigilantly, and the fingers holding the sword were pale and trembling.
Ye Fan felt the fierce sword energy coming towards him, and his expression moved slightly. Although this sword energy was almost no threat to him, if this was the starting point of Xiao Zhouping, how terrifying would his future be
"I have no ill intentions." Ye Fan looked at him, "I'm here to help you."
"Come to help me in the mountains?" Xiao Zhouping's hand holding the sword became harder and harder. He spoke in a deep voice like a child who had suffered endless grievances, "Or...are you also with them?"
Ye Fan was startled and opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't know where to start explaining...
He followed them all the way here. Ye Fan himself didn't believe it if he said there was no evil intention... But Uncle Shang told him on the phone not to interfere too much and to focus on observation. He can't reveal all his purposes now, can he
Forget it, it's already this time, and it can't be justified without an explanation.
After struggling for a long time, Ye Fan took a deep breath and was about to say something. Xiao Zhouping, who had lost his eyes, stumbled and fell straight towards a piece of exposed steel fragment that looked like spikes!
Seeing this, Ye Fan's pupils suddenly shrank, and his figure flashed out like a golden lightning!
Just when Xiao Zhouping's head was about to be pierced by the steel bar, Ye Fan grabbed his shoulder and pulled him back to where he was.
Although Xiao Zhouping couldn't see it, he seemed to have sensed the danger of life and death just now, and his back was suddenly soaked with cold sweat.
"What's wrong with your eyes?" Ye Fan looked at the bloody eyes and asked.
"…stabbed."
"How long ago?"
"About two or three minutes."
Ye Fan nodded, "Well, there is still hope."
Before Xiao Zhouping could speak again, Ye Fan covered the latter's eyes with one hand, and the sacred Buddha's light flowed down the palm into Xiao Zhouping's eyes. Xiao Zhouping, who was about to struggle, only felt a warmth filling his mind. , the pain all over his body was immediately reduced by half.
Xiao Zhouping's face showed surprise, but he did not resist. He could feel that there was no malice in the Buddha's light.
"you… "
As soon as Xiao Zhou Ping opened his mouth, a mouthful of Buddha's light floated out of his mouth and dispersed into the air.
"Stop talking." Ye Fan's voice came from his ears, "You are still alive after your body is damaged to this extent... It seems that the Eye of Time is right, you are a monster."
Xiao Zhouping was stunned. Although he didn't understand what Ye Fan was talking about, he still kept his mouth shut.
Tens of seconds later, Ye Fan slowly put down his palm. At this moment, Xiao Zhouping's blood-filled eyes had basically recovered, and a hazy light appeared in his field of vision. Everything in the world seemed to be covered with a veil, blurry.
"I treated your eyes, but it will take a few days to fully recover. Fortunately, the treatment was timely and there should be no sequelae." Ye Fan said unhurriedly.
Xiao Zhouping waved his hand in front of his eyes in surprise, confirming that he could really see it, then raised his head and looked to his side,
The young man next to him was much taller than him, with a well-proportioned and strong figure. However, no matter how hard Xiao Zhouping tried, he could not clearly see his facial features, and could only vaguely feel the sharpness and domineering power of the other man.
"...Thank you." Xiao Zhouping said softly.
"You're welcome."
Ye Fan turned to look at him, "By the way, give me the sword."
Without any hesitation, Xiao Zhouping handed the prop in his hand to Ye Fan. The moment the long sword left his hand, the sharp sword intention also dissipated.
Ye Fan weighed the sword in his hand for a few times and found that it was indeed an ordinary metal prop sword, without even a sharp edge... And the young man in front of him used such a sword to instantly kill a "Sichuan" level sword. "mystery"
Was it the spider that pierced his heart and caused the Forbidden Ruins to awaken... But Ye Fan had never heard of the Forbidden Ruins related to the heart.
Thinking of this, the image of the red-eyed black shadow appeared in Ye Fan's mind again. The sword in his hand was taken from the black shadow. Could it be that the so-called supreme existence behind the other party, even all of this? Did you foresee it
Just as Ye Fan was deep in thought, a rustling sound came from not far away. He looked up and narrowed his eyes slightly.
He held the long sword in his hand and threw it away!
Whoosh! !
The metal sword dragged out an afterimage in mid-air, passing dozens of meters in an instant!
"Ah!"
A scream came from the front, and two figures who were sneaking away were frightened and fell to the ground at the same time. A metal sword accurately stabbed the soil in front of them, trembling and buzzing, just missing by a hair. Cut off their legs!
Hearing the scream, Xiao Zhouping's body shook violently.
He turned his head to look in the direction of the sound and squinted his eyes hard. He could see a man and a woman sitting on the ground shivering. Although they couldn't see their faces clearly, Xiao Zhouping could recognize them at a glance.
"You want to run away after selling your son? Where to run?" Ye Fan put his hands in his pockets and walked towards the two of them unhurriedly, his cold eyes seemed to come from the underworld.
"You, you you... what do you want to do??"
The men who were still aggressive at first were completely cowed now. They witnessed with their own eyes the scene of Ye Fan nailing the monster to the mountain with one sword. In addition, they just flew out with a swish. No matter how stupid these two people are, they know that Ye Fan He is not an ordinary person and can no longer see the arrogance he had before.
The woman on the side also turned pale with fright, and lost most of her makeup, looking like a mottled yin and yang face.
"What are you doing?" Ye Fan sneered, "It is said that tiger poison cannot eat its seeds. What is the difference between unscrupulous parents like you and the heart-eating spider over there? I have killed a monster, now, of course, I should It's your turn..."
Ye Fan slowly pulled out the metal sword inserted in front of the two of them. The sword reflected a cold light, and the terrifying murderous aura scared the two of them silly!
Whether it was due to excessive fear or the impact of murderous aura, the man's body trembled suddenly, a warm current flowed out from between his legs, and the stinky smell spread in the air, making Ye Fan couldn't help but frown.
The woman on the side rolled her eyes and almost fainted.
"Brother... No, hero!! I know I was wrong, please let me go... It was her! It was this bitch's idea to sell her son! I was brainwashed by her!!"
The man suddenly slapped the woman on the face, knocking the almost fainted woman back to her senses. She stared blankly at the man, her mouth wide open, unable to say a word.
Ye Fan looked at this scene with a calm face, but his peripheral vision always paid attention to Xiao Zhouping not far away.
After a moment, he suddenly spoke:
"Zhou Ping, you were the one who was sold, and you were the one who was domestically abused... You have the final say on how to deal with them."
Hearing these words, the man and woman who were begging for mercy were stunned at the same time.
They turned their heads and looked at the young man standing alone in the ruins. The shocking scarlet color still remained on the young man's body, and he remained silent.
"Son, son! Dad knows he is wrong, dad really knows he is wrong..."
The man finally came to his senses. As if grasping a life-saving straw, he stumbled up from the ground and knelt down with a thud about ten meters away from Xiao Zhouping.
He didn't dare to get too close to Xiao Zhouping. After all, the scene where Xiao Zhouping instantly killed the monster with his sword was too bloody and brutal. He didn't understand what happened to Xiao Zhouping, but his decades of experience in society told him that He, the boy in front of him was no longer the bastard who could be ravaged by him at will.
Xiao Zhouping still stood there, silent. The silence that once represented a weak victim in the eyes of men was now like thunder, deafening.
He was really scared...
Recalling everything he had done to Xiao Zhouping, he was really afraid that Xiao Zhouping would cut him in half with a sword. At this moment, a man's dignity and his father's rights were all forgotten by him, and he wished he could give them to him on the spot. Kowtow a few times in exchange for a way out.
"Little bitch! I'm your mother! Do you still dare to kill your mother?!" A sharp female voice came from the side. The unkempt woman seemed to be crazy. She rushed in front of Xiao Zhouping, grabbed his shoulders and fiercely Open your mouth,
"Aren't you good at fighting? That man is going to kill me! Go and kill him!! Help mom kill him!!! Do you hear me?!"
She clutched Xiao Zhouping's shoulders tightly, pointing one finger at Ye Fan, her eyes full of resentment and madness!
A ripple finally appeared in Xiao Zhouping's eyes. He looked at the mean face so close at hand, and could not hide the sadness on his face...
"...let me go." He murmured.
"Quickly!! Kill him!! Little bitch, why don't you do it?! Have you forgotten whose belly you came out of?! You ungrateful bitch! I shouldn't have given birth to you in the first place, I shouldn't have raised you like this..."
"let me go!!!!"
boom! !
The pain and anger that the young man had suppressed in his heart for more than ten years were all condensed in these three words, like a lion's roar that almost deafened a woman's eardrums!
Invisible pressure exploded from Xiao Zhou Ping's body, directly lifting the woman several meters away and falling heavily to the ground, followed by a painful moan.
Ye Fan watched all this quietly, looking away from the woman without any mercy, and looked at Xiao Zhouping again:
"Do you need me to help you kill them? Don't worry, I won't leave any traces."
Xiao Zhouping was silent for a long time.
"Gathering a crowd to gamble, intentionally causing harm, selling children, buying and selling human organs... How many years can you be sentenced to for these crimes combined?"
"At least twenty years, maybe indefinitely."
Xiao Zhouping took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, as if the burden on his shoulders had been lifted, "I am not qualified to judge them... leave it to the law."
"… good."
Ye Fan nodded and looked at Xiao Zhouping with a more complicated look.
He kicked the kneeling man in the back and said coldly, "Your son spared the lives of you two dogs, why don't you get out?!"
The man was caught off guard by this kick and was thrown to the ground, but he didn't dare to show any anger. He stood up from the ground and ran down the mountain without looking back. The woman on the side also ran away when she saw this. ,Followed by.
Ye Fan glanced at the two people's backs lightly, then turned to look at Xiao Zhouping.
"Besides your parents, do you have any other relatives? Someone who can be a guardian."
"Well, I still have my third uncle."
"That's good."
"So, who are you?" Xiao Zhouping squinted his eyes hard and looked at Ye Fan, and asked doubtfully, "Are you the police?"
"Me? I'm not a policeman, I..."
Jingle Bell-
Ye Fan's second self-introduction was interrupted again. He frowned and took out his mobile phone from his arms.
Seeing the caller, Ye Fan's face flashed with surprise.
"Wait a minute, I'll take a call."
"Okay." Xiao Zhouping nodded obediently.
Ye Fan walked aside and answered the phone,
"Hello, Uncle Shang?"
"Killed that spider 'Mysterious'?"
"...?" Ye Fan was stunned, "How do you know there is a 'mysterious' spider here?"
"Zhou Ping told me, Zhou Ping four years later." Uncle Shang sighed, "Where are you now?"
"Um... I just treated his eyes and took care of his parents. I'm about to take him back to the Night Watch headquarters... "
"No, let's stop here."
"What's the meaning?"
"Don't you understand yet? The Eye of Time does not allow us to change history. Everything you have done so far is part of history... It is an established 'fact'. Once you try to do something beyond the historical trajectory, There will be various factors that interrupt you... Haven't you noticed?"
Ye Fan was stunned for a long time, turned back to look in the direction of Xiao Zhouping, and fell into deep thought.
"In Zhou Ping's narrative, he doesn't know who you are, and his interaction with you has ended here... Even if you want to do something else, you will be interrupted by fate, so our The plan just doesn’t work.”
Uncle Shang's voice was a little bitter, "The problems we face can only be solved by ourselves. Zhou Ping can't help."
"… I see."
Ye Fan hung up the phone, sighed, and walked towards Xiao Zhouping again.
Xiao Zhouping still stood in the ruins, not moving a step, waiting for Ye Fan to come back.
"It doesn't matter who I am... just think of me as a hero who draws his sword to help when the road is rough." Ye Fan shrugged,
"Next, the police will let your third uncle become your new guardian, and your parents will no longer disturb your life... You have been freed from hell, and it is time to enjoy your life. Maybe one day in the future, we will meet again Goodbye."
In Xiao Zhouping's blank eyes, Ye Fan stepped forward and patted him gently on the shoulder.
"Boy, I'll wait for you to grow up."
Ye Fan smiled slightly, turned around and walked down the mountain.
Xiao Zhouping came back to his senses and was about to ask something more when the figure in the black coat had disappeared into the misty morning glow.
"Hero..."
The young man stood in the rising dawn, looking at the direction he left in a daze.
…
Between mountains and forests.
"Fuck!! It's so fucking evil tonight!!"
The gray-faced man quickly walked through the forest. After taking a few steps, he looked back behind him. After confirming that he was far away from the monster, he couldn't help but curse.
"That little bitch! We worked so hard to raise him to this age, and he actually wants to send us to jail?!" The woman grabbed the man's arm, "What should I do? Don't you know someone on the street? Can you help us? escape?"
"Escape? Run away!"
The man seemed to have remembered something and smiled sternly, "That little bitch doesn't understand the law at all. Gambling? Human trafficking? Organ buying and selling? Hehe... does he have evidence?"
"You mean..."
"If there is no evidence, how can he go to the police? Is he just talking nonsense? Besides, he is still a minor and cannot file a lawsuit himself. We are his parents. We can just find a hospital to give him a diagnosis of mental illness." Shanzi, aren’t you just manipulating him?”
The man spat and said viciously, "A little brat that doesn't have all its fur yet still wants to fight me? Just wait and see!"
Upon hearing this, the woman's eyes suddenly lit up and she cursed sharply:
"This little bitch is just a white-eyed wolf! Sooner or later, we have to deal with him!"
"Yeah?"
As if a voice came from the underworld, it sounded from the forest, and the bodies of men and women froze at the same time!
They turned their heads suddenly and saw a figure in a black windbreaker walking slowly in the dark forest behind them. With his appearance, the surrounding temperature dropped rapidly!
Seeing that person's appearance, a look of horror appeared on the man's face again! !
"You...why are you here?!!"
Ye Fan did not answer him, but calmly stepped forward and said lightly:
"It stands to reason that the job of the night watchman is to deal with 'mysterious' cases. Criminal cases are not under our control. Using forbidden ruins to harm or even kill ordinary people is a serious violation of discipline..."
Feeling Ye Fan's terrifying aura, the legs of the men and women trembled uncontrollably again, and the feeling of being dominated by fear once again filled their minds. Reason told them to leave here as soon as possible, but their bodies could not move under Ye Fan's gaze. Half step.
Ding-
Ye Fan flicked his finger, and a coat of arms was shot into the sky from his fingertips, falling among the remaining leaves on the ground, and was buried without a trace.
Walking in the dead forest in a black windbreaker, Ye Fan loosened the collar of the shirt inside with one hand.
"Fortunately, I didn't wear a cloak today...and I didn't bring a fixed knife."
The fist of flesh and blood was waved in the dark forest, the phantom flashed between the flesh and blood, and a group of birds were frightened from the forest and disappeared at the end of the sky.
…
[2016]
A dark shadow lightly climbed up the second floor window and got into the bedroom.
"It's half past five now. There are still four hours until the noodle shop opens. I can still sleep for a while." Zhou Ping lay on his back on the bed and yawned.
"You haven't finished speaking yet, what about after we go down the mountain?" Uncle Shang floated beside him and asked.
"Then I met the police blocking the road on the way down the mountain. My third uncle also received my request for help and came to pick me up immediately, and later became my guardian... As for my parents, I had already called the police, but the police said they No one was found, they must have absconded out of fear of crime, and I haven’t seen them since.”
Zhou Ping turned to look at Uncle Shang, hesitated for a long time, and finally said,
"You...really want to watch me sleep?"
Uncle Shang:…
"According to what you said, you killed a 'Mysterious' when you were a child. How can you still be an ordinary person now? Your Forbidden Ruins should have awakened long ago."
"I don't know, but I really don't have the superpowers you call me."
"Then have you ever felt that there is a special energy in your mind?"
"What kind of energy?"
"Just... like water, a cup of tea, a pool of water, a river, or even a sea?"
Zhou Ping lay on the bed and thought seriously for a moment.
"Maybe not."
Uncle Shang frowned and murmured to himself: "It shouldn't be... Logically speaking, your talent should be quite terrifying. It's impossible for you not to be able to sense the existence of spiritual power in four years... "
"Maybe I didn't perceive it carefully?"
"It's possible, you can feel it again."
"… good."
Zhou Ping's eyes slowly closed.
One minute, ten minutes, half an hour...
Until a slight shout rang out, Uncle Shang's eyelids jumped suddenly. He looked at Zhou Ping, who was tired and fell into a deep sleep, and sighed helplessly...
"This kid..."
Uncle Shang did not wake up Zhou Ping. After all, he was really tired... He worked in a noodle shop during the day and secretly worked in a convenience store at night. He could only sleep four hours a day. As an ordinary person, Zhou Ping was really working hard and serious. alive.
Uncle Shang sat down at Zhou Ping's small table. Outside the window was an alleyway filled with birdsong and flowers. Workers who got up early hurried away on bicycles. Old men and women lined up to buy vegetables. The aroma of steamed buns from the breakfast shop was wafting in the air. Here, The small roads in Xijin City are full of the atmosphere of the city and the world of mortals.
For some reason, Uncle Shang suddenly felt that Zhou Ping, who was sleeping soundly on the bed at the moment, seemed to belong here...
A child who walked out of a hellish family did not take a wrong path, and did not have any resentment in his heart. Instead, he continued to live his life in a down-to-earth manner, just like a pure lotus blooming from the extremely evil soil. This book It's a miracle.
Perhaps it is precisely because he is such a person that he can become the rising bright star in the destiny of mankind in the future...
"Is it time to go back...or..."
Uncle Shang turned to look at Zhou Ping, who was sleeping soundly, with a somewhat hesitant expression.
Facts have proved that the Eye of Time cannot change history. His original plan to help Zhou Ping rise in advance and resist the invasion of Daxia by the gods was completely in vain... In 2012, Daxia could only rely on its own strength to resist the disaster, so he continued There seems to be no point in staying in this era.
Keeping his gaze in this era comes at the cost of his eyes and lifespan. The longer his gaze stays here, the more vision he will lose when he returns. When he becomes completely blind, [Eye of Time] It will also be unable to be used, and with his current life span, he cannot afford too much damage.
But looking at Zhou Ping on the bed, Uncle Shang felt a little reluctant to let go... It would be a pity that such a rough jade was buried in a market lane.
Uncle Shang loves talents. Although he himself does not have combat ability, his research on the development of Forbidden Ruins is the best in the world. He single-handedly brought out the commander-in-chief of the Great Xia Night Watch, Wang Qing, and the Venerable Ye Fan. He believed that as long as he was given some time, Zhou Ping would definitely be able to grow up quickly.
In the quiet bedroom, Uncle Shang sat alone at the table, seemingly lost in thought.
Time passes minute by minute.
Finally, Zhou Ping's eyelashes trembled slightly, and after a moment he struggled to sit up.
"Sorry... I seem to have fallen asleep." Zhou Ping whispered.
"It's okay." Uncle Shang turned around and smiled at him.
Zhou Ping was about to say something when his eyes suddenly froze and he asked in confusion: "Why does your body... seem to be a little lighter than before?"
"Because my time in this era is limited." Uncle Shang stood up, looked directly at Zhou Ping, and said seriously, "Put this matter aside for now... Let me ask you, do you want to control your own power?"
"Control your own... power?"
"It's like when you killed that spider four years ago, but you can do more. Your upper limit is far beyond that. To be honest, even I can't see clearly how far you can grow. ..." Uncle Shang took a deep breath, "But having greater power also means greater responsibility. Are you... willing?"
After hearing these words, Zhou Ping's mind unconsciously thought of the mysterious man with a blurry face wearing a black coat on the mountain four years ago...
"Like... a hero?" His eyes lit up with a glimmer of light.
"Um."
"I want to!" Zhou Ping nodded heavily, "I also want to be a hero!"
Hearing Zhou Ping's answer, a smile appeared on Uncle Shang's lips, "In this era, I can stay at most three days... Within three days, I will help you pave the way for your future. One day, you can become the best The top strong man."
"First of all, start by sensing spiritual power."
"I just did some math. You were able to kill the Mysterious Sichuan Realm four years ago, which means that your mental power at that time was at least that of the Sichuan Realm. With four years of natural growth, it stands to reason that you can already touch the Sea. 'The threshold of the realm, so..."
Hearing this, Zhou Ping seemed to have thought of something and wanted to interrupt but was embarrassed, so he silently raised a hand.
"Huh? What's wrong?"
"Teacher, when I was dreaming just now, I seemed to feel it." Zhou Ping blinked, "I don't know if it was an illusion, but I seemed to... see an overflowing bottle. The shape of the bottle was very strange. I seemed to be in the book. Have seen...
What's it called, 'Klein'? "
Uncle Shang's smile suddenly turned petrified.
…
[2012]
Cangnan City.
A girl wearing a tattered cloak walked through the deserted alley with her head lowered.
This cloak was picked up from nowhere. It was twice as wide as her body. The plump hat covered the girl's face, and she could vaguely see the silver-white hair hanging down.
"who?!"
The walking girl seemed to have noticed something, and suddenly turned her head to look behind her, her eyes full of vigilance.
On the back of her hand, a complex pattern suddenly lit up!
In the shadow of the alley, a human-shaped black shadow was outlined. A red pupil opened slowly between the shadow's eyebrows, like an elegant gentleman in the dark night. gòйЪ.ōΓg
"Hello, commemoration." He raised his hand and pressed the brim of his hat, smiling and saying,
"You can call me, [Secret Peeper]..."
