Xiaolongkan Old Hotpot was an old hotpot restaurant in Bayu. Of course, it wasn't famous yet. In the future, this restaurant once had more than 200 franchises and was considered the king of the hotpot industry in Sichuan.
Xu Fugui followed Liu Mengyu into the hall of the hotpot restaurant and into a private room on the side.
Su Yuhang impatiently picked up a piece of freshly scalded pork belly and placed it in his bowl when he pushed the door open. When he saw Fugui walk in, Su Yuhang simply smiled. There was no need for them to be so courteous or stand up to greet each other.
Fugui sat down, while Liu Mengyu sat on the other side.
The three of them began to eat.
Su Yuhang loved hotpot. He wasn't from Sichuan, but he spent almost half of the year in Sichuan, so this was his favorite food.
About half an hour later, Liu Mengyu suddenly stood up and said that she had something to attend to. Su Yuhang nodded at her, and Liu Mengyu glanced at Fugui before leaving.
"Treat each other with respect." Xu Fugui joked. Obviously, Su Yuhang and Liu Mengyu's relationship hadn't reached the point where they were glued to each other. As for the specific reason, it wasn't something that a gentleman needed to investigate.
"Indeed, treat each other with respect." Su Yuhang pretended to be relaxed as he shrugged and said, "You know, it's hard for me to find a suitable wife with my qualifications."
It was a pun.
Xu Fugui nodded. "It's indeed hard."
"Fugui, when are you going to prove your Dao?" Su Yuhang asked again.
"Didn't you already ask?" Xu Fugui retorted.
"I know what you want to prove, and I know that you've been preparing for it. I even know that you've been suppressing it." Su Yuhang smiled as if he could see through you. Other people might look wretched, but Su Yuhang looked carefree and natural. It had to be said that this was indeed a society that valued appearances.
"Aren't you the same?" Xu Fugui took a sip of yellow wine and continued, "If you really focused on strengthening, I think you would've proven your Dao long ago. You wouldn't have to wait until recently."
"It's different. It's different." Su Yuhang shook his head. "Fugui, tell me, what Dao do you want to prove?"
"Do I have to tell you?"
"I know even if you don't tell me because we're friends." Su Yuhang picked up his wine glass and clinked it with Xu Fugui before downing it. He rarely drank like this.
"If I tell you, I won't be able to prove it." Xu Fugui laughed bitterly. "You're not trying to kill me, are you?"
"Fugui …"
"Yes."
"Can a person live without a heart?" Su Yuhang suddenly asked.
All of a sudden, the atmosphere in the private room dropped to a freezing point. It was as if a layer of frost had formed and covered everything in the room. Even the hot pot could not dispel it in the slightest.
Xu Fugui's hand that held the wine cup suddenly trembled while a wisp of disbelief appeared in his eyes. He was slightly surprised and puzzled. At the same time, he felt a wisp of relief and helplessness.
"I originally thought that you wouldn't do this to me." Xu Fugui held the wine glass with trembling hands and drank another mouthful. Then, he placed the glass on the table and said with a sigh, "Great Hang, do we really have to go this far?"
"Can a man live without a heart?" Su Yuhang didn't directly answer Xu Fugui's question. Instead, he continued with the same question. At the same time, Su Yuhang's eyes began to flash with a faint white light. The totem of Taiji seemed to be spinning in his eyes, containing the principles of heaven and earth.
Fugui didn't answer Fugui's question. Instead, he continued to ask. At the same time, Fugui's eyes began to flash with a faint white light. The totem of Taiji was spinning, containing the laws of heaven and earth.
Fugui didn't answer Fugui's question. His figure flickered and appeared outside the hotpot restaurant. He was walking. He was walking quickly. It wasn't far from Chengdu to Yunnan.
He wanted to go there as soon as possible.
Otherwise …
There was no "otherwise".
However, Su Yuhang's figure appeared next to Xu Fugui in the next moment. His speed was exactly the same as Xu Fugui's. The two of them walked and advanced together, just like how they used to take a stroll under the streetlights after dinner.
Nothing seemed to have changed, but there was something that had changed.
"Fugui, can people live without a heart?"
Fugui continued to ask.
In a trance,
Su Yuhang's voice didn't come from his mouth. Instead, it came from the sky.
Xu Fugui's body trembled more and more violently. Beads of blood began to seep out of the pores on his body. He was struggling, he was resisting, but there was no trace of anger on his face.
Only …
Disappointment.
Because you are my best friend.
So I have no secrets in front of you.
So you know what Dao I am cultivating.
So you know what Dao I am walking.
Today …
You asked for the Heavens.
You are forcing me to my death!
But I still don't hate you.
I still don't blame you.
Because I treated you as a good friend.
It's me.
The cause I planted myself.
Naturally, I have to eat the fruit of today!
Fugui continued to walk, and Su Yuhang continued to follow by his side.
The two of them were very fast. They were much faster than a car that stepped on the accelerator at full speed. It was even like a high-speed train.
"Fugui, can people live without a heart?"
Su Yuhang continued to ask. For a time, thunder rumbled in the sky, as if the Heavens were asking the people of the world!
Su Yuhang's eyes were white, cold and murderous. He had no way out, nor did he have the space to hesitate. Since he had chosen that step, he had to get rid of all obstacles.
I'm sorry, Fugui.
Fugui created his own Ancient Zombie Third Transformation, but he understood cause and effect. Because he could see far and see more, he naturally thought more and considered more.
He wasn't greedy because he didn't need to be greedy. Just as Young Master Zhao said, he was a special case that could only be born in a hundred worlds. Even if he was diligent, even if he was timid, some fate couldn't be changed.
Just like Jiang Taigong, who was still fishing in his seventies, there were naturally willing people who took the bait.
The Ancient Zombie Third Transformation was a self-created body refining technique that was born out of the Qin army. It harvested the power of heaven and earth and integrated it into one's own body to achieve a kind of self-born immortality. Even the will and soul merged with the physical body, and at the same time, they were in harmony with the world.
This was something unimaginable for ordinary people who proved their Dao, but for Fugui, it was indeed normal.
He was a special one, and special also meant special privileges. Although he didn't compete, although he was indifferent, his existence itself was different.
He could actually be the main character, because according to the normal routine and the plot of the movie, he was actually the one chosen by Heaven, the Son of Heaven. Even Young Master Zhao was afraid of him.
This was a kind of Dao, a kind of Great Dao, a kind of Heavenly Dao. Once he proved his Dao, Fugui himself would achieve a certain degree of integration with the world. As long as the world didn't perish, he wouldn't perish.
He was detached from the world, detached from the world!
But now, he had yet to prove his Dao. Just like in the past when Napoleon returned from his restoration, when he first landed, the Parisian newspapers said that a terrifying butcher, tyrant, dwarf had landed. But when Napoleon's troops approached Paris, the Parisian newspapers changed to "His Majesty the Great Emperor Napoleon will return to his most loyal capital tomorrow."
Fugui hadn't proved his Dao, and he hadn't had the time to prove his Dao. Once he did, he would be integrated into this world. But now, he didn't have the right to prove himself. He was like a thief who hadn't proven himself.
Therefore, Su Yuhang asked for the Dao on behalf of Heaven to force Xu Fugui, the "thief", to plead guilty and submit to the law!
At the same time, something in Su Yuhang's body was burning. This was Su Yuhang's potential, his future, and even more so, his fate and capital.
He asked for the Dao on behalf of Heaven, using his friendship with Fugui as the bridge, the karma between the two of them as the framework, and his own future, potential, and path as the capital to bet.
It was for …
Today was the day to give Fugui a fatal blow!
This wasn't a sneak attack to kill you …
This was a counterattack on the spiritual level, relying on your trust in me!
I gave up everything …
I gave up everything …
Just to send you …
Die!
Fu Gui was still walking, but his speed was getting slower and slower. Finally, he couldn't walk any further. He stopped on a hillside in Western Sichuan. His body began to slowly rot, and blood flowed out continuously, seeping into the ground.
He was in great pain …
Because the world was returning what he had "stolen" from him.
He had to pay back what he had sown.
Fugui grinned. His teeth were stained with blood, but he was still smiling. Just like before, he liked to smile in such a simple and honest manner. Just like every time he was with his old friend, Su Yuhang, he was only responsible for listening, nodding, and echoing.
He felt that he was the big brother, and he felt that he should help this little brother.
"Fugui, can a man live without a heart?"
Su Yuhang's figure began to become haggard. After today, he, Su Yuhang, would no longer have a tomorrow, no future, and it was impossible for his cultivation to advance even an inch.
The price he had paid …
It could not be said to be small!
"Da Hang, must it be like this?" Fugui asked.
"Fugui, can a man live without a heart …?"
Thunder rumbled, and for a moment, violent winds blew, and heavy rain poured down. It was as if the heavens were roaring angrily, and the world was questioning Fugui!
Fugui's flesh and blood had already fallen off, and his bones had begun to melt. All of them had merged into the ground, but he was still smiling.
"Da Hang, is it not good to be a man?
"Fugui, can a man live without a heart!"
"Da Hang, didn't you say that you wanted to be a good father?"
"Fugui, can a man live without a heart!"
"Da Hang, is it worth it?"
"Fugui, can a man live without a heart!"
"Fugui …"
"Fugui …"
"Fugui …"
Under the questioning,
Fugui's body completely collapsed and was submerged deep into the ground,
His soul also turned into stars and scattered in all directions.
But at the same time …
A figure slowly climbed up,
He continued to walk forward,
He kept walking forward,
He muttered,
"Dao Validation … Dao Validation … I want … Dao Validation …"
Su Yuhang stopped questioning. His body swayed and he half knelt on the ground. A stream of blood tears dripped from his eyes.
Liu Mengyu appeared by Su Yuhang's side. She stared at the figure who was staggering in the distance.
She asked,
"Is he dead, or is he still alive?"
"He's already dead, but he deliberately forgot that he was dead."
"I'll go wake him up." Liu Mengyu was about to move.
Su Yuhang reached out and grabbed Liu Mengyu's hand,
"You'll be killed by him," Su Yuhang reminded.
"Didn't you say that he's already dead?"
"Even if he's dead, he can still kill you. In fact, if he turns around now, he can also kill the current me."
"You tricked him to death. Why didn't he turn around and kill you?"
"Because I'm his best friend."
