Without the slightest warning,
Even Boss Zhou himself was taken aback.
Damn it,
What a violent temper,
Exploding without a word!
If one were to pose the question: How would you feel if someone sitting across from you suddenly farted while you were drinking?
Many people would likely participate in the discussion and offer their answers.
But if it were:
How would you feel if someone sitting across from you suddenly exploded?
"............"
Like a gust of wind,
Suddenly blowing in your face,
Raising your hair, messing up your bangs, squinting your eyes,
Then,
The person who was sitting in front of you,
Vanished.
The glass fell to the ground and shattered.
Boss Zhou breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately,
The people here don't have bodies in the traditional sense; otherwise, how disgusting would it be to have flesh and blood explode in front of you?
Yes,
At this moment, what Boss Zhou feared was this; it was the instinct of someone with severe mysophobia.
In fact, it was also because Boss Zhou didn't really think he would lose, so he was very calm.
"Who are you toasting? The reaction is too intense."
After calming down, Zhou Ze asked inwardly.
"Chi…………You…………"
Tie Hanhan's voice carried a hint of loneliness, and a trace of unfinished business.
This glass of wine,
He didn't enjoy it enough.
The images in the wine, the stories in the wine, hadn't even begun before they ended.
It felt like telling a story: "Once upon a time, there was an old master on a mountain. One day, the old master exploded.
The end………”
Zhou Ze smiled.
This was indeed a bit bullying.
In fact,
The principle of this drinking game was very simple, especially since Tie Hanhan had told him when he first entered the pavilion that the man seemed to be changing the scenery of the four seasons, but in reality, he was changing Zhou Ze's own state of mind.
When your mindset is different, the scenery you see is naturally different.
Like Lawyer An, they might play different specific routes, but the general direction was the same; they were still following the spiritual path.
This drinking contest was a competition of insights; either my life would crush you, or your life would shatter me.
The man thought he had found a soft persimmon, after all, he had been abused by that old woman for the past few decades.
Who knew,
He found one of the hardest steel plates in this world,
And happily took the initiative to come up,
Seeking impact, seeking education, seeking a beating;
In the end,
He got what he asked for.
The previous two glasses of wine,
One was the coldness of the past, and the other was the spiritedness of war, but perhaps it was really a matter of different levels; the scenery seen was also different. In the man's eyes, a lifetime full of excitement and richness was like a group of ants moving house in Ying Gou's eyes, boring and uninteresting.
Alright,
Zhou Ze stood up,
Reached out and scratched his hair,
Yawned,
Only one left.
…………
The young man in the straw raincoat was trembling.
Although it wasn't clear whether he was cosplaying Jiang Taigong or Liu Zongyuan,
What he wanted to express was ultimately the state of mind of not changing color even when Mount Tai collapses in front of him.
Now, he couldn't maintain it anymore.
When Zhou Ze turned around and looked at the young man outside the pavilion, seeing the young man trembling, he suddenly found it a little funny.
This was a smile of goodwill, because he could feel that some of the young man's expressions were not feigned, but completely genuine.
He was this lake, and the lake was him; the lake surface was like a mirror, and the mirror surface was like his heart.
Fishing on his own heart, hiding anything would be meaningless.
"You are the last one."
Zhou Ze said.
Boss Zhou also noticed that his recent style seemed to be a bit off. Many times, his words, actions, and the scenes he was in gave him a strange feeling that he was the villainous boss.
Coupled with many preconceived ideas,
He always had the illusion that he was about to be defeated by the power of justice and was about to kick the bucket.
The young man slowly walked over.
Beneath the young man's feet,
In the depths of the lake that only he could see,
He saw a thick black color.
This black color,
Was the last inner portrayal of his neighbor in the pavilion before his soul flew away and his spirit scattered.
The young man could sense his fear before death,
That great fear that he could no longer bear for a moment, directly causing his soul to collapse.
He,
What exactly did he see?
The young man finally walked outside the pavilion,
He didn't come in,
He faced Zhou Ze across the railing.
After looking at each other for a while,
He lowered his head shyly.
"Are you the lake spirit here?"
Zhou Ze asked.
"The old woman said I am the lake spirit, born from the spirit of the lake."
Anyway, it was just a matter of titles.
Boss Zhou wasn't in a hurry to ask him what he wanted to gamble on; instead, he found it quite interesting to tease this little loli.
In fact, there were quite a few little brats in the bookstore,
But look at whether it was the little loli or that little boy of a love expert, did they have the slightest bit of childlike innocence?
"I'm very scared."
The young man said with his head lowered.
He could see how amazing that mass of darkness was.
"It's good to admit defeat."
Zhou Ze could only comfort him in this way.
Like the previous few people, he should just admit defeat, and everyone would be spared trouble.
The young man took a deep breath, and the lake surface began to calm down.
"I don't gamble."
"Huh?"
The old man at the beginning said that there were now seven residents in this village; along the way, they should all be gamblers, so how could this last one not gamble?
"I really don't gamble. The old woman left me here, and I've stayed here ever since."
"Have you never thought about leaving?"
The young man shook his head.
Immediately,
The young man said:
"Because the old woman said that she wanted me to stay here to support the existence of this village. One day, she would take me to see the sea, the real sea."
"The sea?"
The young man's face turned red,
He clenched his fists,
And said:
"I am a lake, and my heart is set on the sea."
"Then you should go out even more, go outside to see the sea. You don't have to go too far; just go a little bit to the south, and you'll be at the seaside."
Tongcheng was actually located at the mouth of the Yangtze River.
The young man shook his head and said, "That's not the sea, that's not the sea, that's not the sea I imagine."
"What kind of sea do you want to see?"
A look of confusion appeared on the young man's face.
He spread out his hands,
The lake surface began to rise,
Forming beads,
The beads began to spread, began to expand.
At this moment,
The entire lake surface suddenly turned into an amber-like vast world.
Boss Zhou keenly felt that the bronze ring on the ring finger of his left hand began to tremble.
This was a barrier,
A barrier that could make the bronze ring react.
Zhou Ze suddenly understood that
The old woman had tricked this little boy into staying here,
Letting him form a special barrier for her gambling house,
It could even be said that this young man was actually the foundation of this gambling house!
"The old woman tricked me, I know." The young man continued in a daze, "Every time the old woman came and finished gambling with them, I would ask her, have you found the sea I want?
The old woman always answered me: Soon, soon, let me wait a little longer, wait a little longer."
"And you've really been waiting until now?"
The young man shook his head again, "The old woman said that by staying here and watching them, I could see something deeper than the lake, which is the human heart. I thought about it for a long time and pondered it for a long time, and I think the old woman is right."
"Alright, since you don't gamble, just tell me how to get out of here."
Boss Zhou was too lazy to make things difficult for this honest child.
Who knew that the young man would suddenly raise his head,
As if he had mustered great courage,
Staring at Zhou Ze,
And said:
"I want to see the sea."
This felt like a child was shouting to an adult, "I want candy!"
"What are you asking me for?" Zhou Ze asked strangely.
"Because that old grandpa said that you have the sea here, the sea is with you."
"I only have salt here."
"Salt?"
"Yes, in fact, it's very simple to become the sea. You first tell me how to get out, and after I go out, I'll buy you a truckload of salt, pour it on you, and you'll become the sea. At least, you'll have the taste of the sea.
Or, I'll send you half a truckload of seafood, and it will taste even more like it."
The young man in the straw raincoat had a serious look on his face,
But something felt a little wrong.
He tilted his head slightly,
Squinting his eyes,
Pouting his lips,
He wanted to refute but didn't dare to refute.
"Hey, wait a minute, old grandpa?" Boss Zhou finally caught the key point and immediately asked, "Which old grandpa?"
"An old grandpa who gambled with the old woman in the casino a while ago. I am different from them. When they are here, they stay here, but I can see the outside and hear the outside."
"In the end, did your old woman win him?"
"Yes, the old woman never seems to lose."
"No, did that old grandpa have anything special…………"
"The old woman wanted to lose."
"Huh?"
"The old woman said that people can't always win. Sometimes, winning is losing, and losing is winning.
I know,
The old woman has been trying her best to lose to that old grandpa, although I don't know why, but the old woman really wanted to lose."
"And the result?"
"The result was still that the old grandpa lost."
"Oh?"
"I specially called out to that old grandpa. That old grandpa could also hear me speak. This is the second person besides the old woman who can hear my voice from the outside since this casino opened.
I asked the old grandpa, why don't you win?
Because the other people in this village all want to win against the old woman, and they want to win very much.
The old grandpa said that if you win against someone and take their things, and they deliberately let you win, whether you really win or pretend to win, you owe them a favor. Human favors are not a good thing."
"And then?"
"The old grandpa also said that if you lose, just grab it directly, and there will be no such thing as owing someone a favor. I didn't win you, I robbed you. Whether you want it or not, I just robbed you, so I can feel at ease."
"It seems, very reasonable."
"I asked the old grandpa where I could see the sea."
"What did he answer?"
"He said that when my guarantor comes, you can see the sea by finding him."
After saying that,
The young man in the straw raincoat looked at Zhou Ze with anticipation,
And repeated:
"I want to see the sea."
"What's the benefit of showing you the sea?" Zhou Ze asked.
"Lakes converge into rivers, and rivers flow into the sea!"
Zhou Ze bent down,
Carefully staring at the face of the young man in the straw raincoat,
And said:
"If I show you the sea, will you come with me?"
Instinctively,
Zhou Ze suddenly felt that
This seemed to be the reason why the Lord of the Underworld, no matter which generation, had written his name as the guarantor!
This Lord of the Underworld,
Was really particular.
It wasn't enough for him to snatch things away,
He even left his name,
So that he could take the opportunity to fleece a sheep!
Righteous!
So righteous that Boss Zhou wanted to shout like Lawyer An and the others:
Praise Mount Tai!
If this lake could follow him,
Then when he encountered someone like Qing again,
The bronze ring and
This lake,
Double barrier,
He would directly kill them in this absolute barrier and see if they could still transmit any messages!
With this thought,
Zhou Ze made a decision,
He straightened his body,
Reached out,
And knocked a few times on his left chest,
"Knock knock knock..."
"Hey, don't rush to sleep. Come out and meet your fan."
