The wooden door opened automatically, revealing the pitch black interior.
At first, Xu Shenxing thought he would see something like "Although it looks like a run-down house from the outside, the inside is as luxurious as a palace".
But that was not the case … It was just a run-down house.
And it was the kind that leaked air everywhere.
The run-down house was about the size of the living room in Sakura's apartment. What surprised Xu Shenxing was that there were no fluorescent lights here, only a flickering incandescent lamp on the ceiling providing a warm orange glow.
The house was filled with a mess of things. Xu Shenxing saw a rusty bronze alchemy furnace, a gorgeous scabbard, leather books written with unknown codes, and other things that gave people a feeling of extraordinary origins. At the same time, there were also things like a blue and white porcelain painting of the three heroes fighting Zhao Yun, a husky bronze head, and Tang Sancai's Third Fatty Jin, which gave people a feeling of being in an artifact fraud stronghold …
After turning around this small mountain of treasures or trash, one could see a short old man with a stooped back in the middle of it.
He looked no different from many of the old people in the Celestial Empire. He wore plain cotton clothes, a pair of round black-rimmed glasses, and his trousers were pulled up high. On his feet was a pair of shiny leather shoes that looked as if they were new.
"Are you Bai Ze?" Xu Shenxing confirmed.
Although he did not feel anything unusual from the old man in front of him, he felt like he was just an ordinary old man. First of all, Xu Shenxing's perceptive ability was only average, so it was normal that he could not sense anything. Second of all, according to the plot of a typical novel, the person he was looking for was definitely the one in front of him.
"Hmph …" The old man glanced at Xu Shenxing, smiled, and did not answer.
"…"
Oh, this old man is quite arrogant.
Xu Shenxing widened his eyes in surprise.
Mo Li looked at the old man for a few seconds, as if he was no longer interested in the old man, he began to fiddle with the things he was interested in.
"I have something I need your help with."
Although he felt that the old man's attitude was a bit strange, Xu Shenxing still controlled his temper and tried his best to ask the old man for help.
"Oh."
Was this a tacit agreement?
Therefore, Xu Shenxing started from the beginning and spent more than half an hour explaining his intentions.
After a long while, the other party seemed to come back to his senses and asked Xu Shenxing with a confused expression.
"Young man, are you talking to me?"
"…"
Don't stop me, I'm going to hack him to death! Although Xu Shenxing did not say a word, the expression on his face seemed to say so.
Perhaps he felt Xu Shenxing's killing intent, he immediately lay down on the ground and screamed like a pig being slaughtered, "Ah ah ah, my old waist! I'm going to die! I'm going to die! "
"I haven't f * cking touched you yet!"
"This old man, this old man was frightened by your ferocious look and sprained my waist. If you don't compensate this old man with a hundred thousand yuan, I won't be able to get up!"
"This has nothing to do with me!"
"It doesn't matter. This old man can use my friends who are proficient in illusions to recreate the scene as evidence."
"That's usually called perjury!"
"Evidence (made _ in _ China)."
"Are you dissatisfied with our country?"
Just as Xu Shenxing was considering whether to simply vaporize the entire Kunlun to destroy the evidence (or perjury), a voice came from behind him.
"Zhong Kui, stop playing. Mr. Xu is my distinguished guest."
Xu Shenxing turned his head and found that at some point, a beautiful woman in a blue palace dress was walking towards him with her eyes closed, exuding a threatening air of nobility.
"Lord Bai Ze." The old man immediately jumped up from the ground with a practiced carp flip, and then very respectfully bowed to the other party.
"Long time no see, Mr. Xu." The beautiful woman in the palace dress slowly opened her eyes. Her right eye was blooming with a faint blue glow, and her left eye was dark red. The red dot on her forehead was like a third eye full of spiritual brilliance. "No, for you at this time, this should be the first time we've met."
Even if Xu Shenxing was not good at perception, at this moment, he could feel the powerful and mysterious power from the East from the other party. If he had to say, the woman in front of him was probably the strongest person he had met since returning to Earth. Even Ying, the cancer of the world, could not be compared with her. Of course, this may be because the latter did not dare to use her full strength for fear of destroying the world.
But even so, the strength of the beautiful woman in the palace dress was still not to be underestimated.
She seemed to have seen through Xu Shenxing's inner thoughts. With a graceful and elegant smile on her face, she walked toward him.
Then, she tripped over a long thing on the ground that looked like a sex rod.
Suddenly, the whole atmosphere became awkward.
"…"
Not good. What should I say at this time? Or should I pretend not to see it?
Even with Xu Shenxing's experience, he had never encountered such a thing. For a moment, he did not know what to do.
If it was a familiar friend, at this time, it would be over with a little joke. If it was a guy he did not know, it did not matter if he pretended not to see it. If it was a person he hated, he would use ridicule to attack the other party until they lost the courage to live.
But only with Bai Ze, Xu Shenxing did not know what expression to use to face her. It was obviously not right to call her a friend. Even if she looked familiar, after all, he had never seen her before. It was not right to call her a stranger. He had something to ask of her later. It was not right to be too cold …
Sure enough, at this time, he should laugh!
Although he vaguely heard Mo Li ridiculing on the side, "It's the elimination method!" Xu Shenxing still walked toward the other party with a serious face.
"Oh, oh, the way you fell is amazing. As expected of Bai Ze!"
"Cough?!"
Xu Shenxing swore that he saw the guy named Zhong Kui spit out his false teeth.
"I've embarrassed myself in front of you."
The other party was not angry. Instead, she immediately stood up with Zhong Kui's help and patted the hem of her palace dress slightly. "Although I can peek into the past and foresee the future, many times, I will be negligent about the current situation. Whether it is me or some powerful people, it is the same."
"Since you have such a remarkable ability, then I'm sure you know why I'm here, right?"
Xu Shenxing said with a frown.
"I know why you have such a big prejudice against me." Bai Ze was not angry at Xu Shenxing's rude words. Instead, she continued to say with a smile, "In a certain timeline, you once told me that a deceased friend of yours, a fortune-teller, once said to you, 'The future is unpredictable, because even a speck of dust will cause changes in the direction of the future. The so-called prophecy is either divining the future with the greatest possibility, or it can only predict the general direction of the future', right?"
A slightly surprised expression appeared on Xu Shenxing's face. He hesitated for a moment and then sighed. "Well, I take back my previous words and admit that you have some ability … Perhaps in a certain timeline, we have met before."
"In a sense, your friend is right. The future is not certain, but is in the process of being determined. What I see, hear, feel, and everything that happens now will determine the true direction of the future. What I can foresee is only one of the countless directions, and the general direction of the entire future. However, as the future changes, everything I foresee will naturally change. "
"I have seen the future where Chen Sheng and Wu Guang did not revolt, I have glimpsed the future where Gilgamesh took the elixir of immortality, I have witnessed the future where Chu Bawang unified the world, I have scrutinized the future where King Arthur was not betrayed, I have stared at the future where Yue Fei welcomed back the two emperors, I have looked into the future where Attila was not poisoned to death and completely destroyed Europe, I have looked into the future where Chong Zhen revived the Great Ming Dynasty … Even now, the future I see is still changing tens of millions of times per second."
"Countless knowledge that I once knew, that I once didn't know, that I once knew, that I once knew, that I once knew, that I once knew, that I once knew, that I once knew, that I once knew, that I once knew, that I once knew, and that knowledge that had never appeared before, will become part of my accumulation. Although human beings have only developed for a few thousand years, as far as the depth of civilization that I know, even if it is a completely different part, has already been accumulated for more than millions of years. The so-called omniscience of outsiders is actually nothing more than this."
The omniscient Bai Ze told Xu Shenxing everything about himself as if he did not know that they were close friends.
Xu Shenxing, who did not expect that the other party would say this to him, awkwardly scratched his face.
"I think …" he muttered in a low voice, not knowing what to do. "This doesn't seem to have anything to do with me …"
"Perhaps it is. Just think of it as an old woman who can't help but nag at you because she has lived for too long. " Bai Ze smiled slightly. "It is precisely because I have inherited the history of human beings that I am so attached to these creatures that are incomparably insignificant in the eyes of the gods."
"What exactly do you want to say?" Xu Shenxing did not quite understand her words. He felt that he seemed to have understood something, but when he thought about it carefully, he could not tell what it was.
"I only hope that, if one day, you can be freed from that oath, please do not hate this world that you once protected. That is all." After saying this, the beautiful woman turned around and pointed at the pile of messy things. "The thing you want is in there. It is called the Kunlun Mirror. It is a relic left behind by an old friend of mine … Well, calling it a relic is a bit wrong. Because if I want, I can still go back to the time when I chatted and drank with her. In short, with that treasure and the silver ring that the girl brought from another world, you can go to the world you want to go to. "
Xu Shenxing looked in the direction that the woman was pointing at. Sure enough, he vaguely saw an object that looked like a bronze mirror in the pile of trash.
He turned around and wanted to say something to the other party, but he found that Bai Ze had disappeared.
And the pile of trash that seemed to be worth a lot of money had also disappeared. Only a few worthless knockoffs were left. (By the way, the massage stick was still there.)
"So stingy," Xu Shenxing muttered softly and pointed at the pile of trash. "Mo Li, go!"
Thus, the little girl rushed over like a Labrador that had received an order. Not long after, she dug out a Terracotta Army figurine.
"No, no, no, we don't want this, right?!"
"The landlord is so annoying. Go find it yourself," Mo Li said with a look of disdain.
"…"
It was not that Xu Shenxing was lazy, but as a normal man, he really did not want to run into a pile of trash that hid a massage stick.
This made him regret that he only brought one Mo Li this time.
In short, because of various reasons, in the end, he still went up and found the Kunlun Mirror himself.
During this process, Xu Shenxing knew two things.
First, in the pile of trash, there was also a Jiaotong. Please don't ask Xu Shenxing how he knew this …
Second, the sign of the Jiaotong seemed to be called Mr. Jiaotong. Please don't ask Xu Shenxing how he knew this …
