Chapter 24 Lifespan
Jiashan also looked at her unexpectedly.
One mouth can cost a person thirty years of life. Is she here to save people, or is she here to claim her life?
Sangong's face was ashen, and his breathing became short and unsteady.
Xu Shanshan raised his eyes slightly: "There is nothing else I like about you, so it is up to you to decide whether to exchange or not."
If she asked for money, they might all think that Xu Shanshan was lying again, but the "reward" she wanted them to pay was something illusory and something they valued extremely.
Who can easily promise to exchange something like lifespan with their mouths? Especially when the three of them are quite old. If it is ten years shorter, who knows how long they can live?
Hai Gong always had a bad temper. He glared at Xu Shanshan: "Can you still take away a person's life span? Xu Shanshan, I'm afraid your master wouldn't even dare to say such big words!"
"Can't take it away? It's my business to take it away, and it's your business to agree or not. I once said that although your Tang family may make one mistake and fall into eternal disaster, there is another choice that can lead to success. "
"What choice?" the farmer asked.
At present, they only have two choices, agree to King Chen or reject King Chen.
But they are not sure, which side is doomed and which side is prosperous?
Xu Shanshan smiled and said nothing.
Obviously if you open your mouth again, it will be another price.
The three men have different expressions, but at this time they are all in danger. How to choose between their own life span, the safety of the entire Tang family, and the future wealth and wealth?
As the saying goes, the authorities are obsessed with it, they really don't dare to take any step easily.
It turns out that before they came to Xu Shanshan, they were just nervous and worried, but now they have to add another dilemma, fear of death and anxiety.
Xu Shanshan’s poisonous mouth can kill them with just a casual word!
After San Gong's face was gloomy and he walked away in vain, Jiashan asked her: "Do you really mean what you just said?"
Xu Shanshan picked a manuscript copied by Jiashan and looked at the calligraphy. When you meet someone, every stroke he makes is done with care.
Reminiscent of her own erratic "rugged" handwriting, she said casually: "Seriously."
Jiashan was silent for a moment and said: "What if it is exchanged for the life span of a poor monk?"
Xu Shanshan glanced at him: "I said, I want to exchange something that is extremely important for a person. Life span is not extremely important to you, so you cannot replace them."
Jiashan could vaguely guess that her attitude towards the Tang family was very vague. It was not evil, but it was not good either.
Whether she deliberately left a "bait" to punish the third male, or whether she wanted to take revenge on the entire Tang family for regretting the marriage, he couldn't tell.
"You can ask for any necessary and important things from this poor monk."
He is generous, and he is indeed the "Holy Father" she has identified.
Xu Shanshan suddenly smiled brightly: "How about chastity, okay?"
Jiashan seemed unable to understand the meaning of this word at first, but after a moment of understanding, the whole person seemed to be frozen. Showing disbelief.
She opened her eyes, covered her lips and smiled softly, regretting: "It seems that it won't work."
Jiashan took a deep breath: "Xu Shanshan, what do you want to do when you come to Tang's house?"
"Didn't you invite me to...copy Buddhist scriptures?" She looked confused.
Jiashan's kind face was cold, very much like a Buddha who adhered to his beliefs and precepts: "You wanted to come."
If she didn't want to, he couldn't change her will, he vaguely understood.
This man has a very sharp mind.
Xu Shanshan said: "You don't want to know what I am here for. Besides, you don't intend to completely cut off from the world and yearn for your pure Buddhist altar. Since you are an outsider, why bother to go to this muddy water? ?”
“The poor monk brought you to the Tang family. No matter what you do, it will be the poor monk’s responsibility.” But he refused to give in.
In this case, Xu Shanshan might as well tell him: "To destroy a clan, it is better to kill one person. It depends on how the Tang family will decide." At this moment, even if Jiashan did not use the "Qi Watching Technique", he could still sense it. When Xu Shanshan arrived, a torrent must have passed by violently, and black cracks spread silently and horribly from beneath her feet.
No matter how gentle and harmless her smile is, no matter how much she talks about resolving people's misfortunes, her essence... is black.
——
The dark clouds closed the moon that night, "clouds covered the moon, and ghosts knocked on the door." Everything seemed to imply something. The wind blew through the treetops, like ghosts weeping and screaming.
Xu Shan Shanjing stood in the deep and thick courtyard, Maomao stood on her shoulders.
“Shan, can you figure it out now?”
“It depends entirely on the vitality drawn from Tang Jiashan to nourish the body, and I can barely use Taiyi God to calculate the power of the country, but I have already It’s too late, Jingguo’s eight points is a foregone conclusion and cannot be changed by human forces.”
The disasters that belong to this continent will also occur in accordance with the destiny.
"Shan, you said that the mastermind who exchanged your souls with Xu Shanshan's and caused the current situation could be one of the Seven Kings?"
The more Maomao thought about it, the more he thought he could guess it. Right: "They secretly conspired with that person to turn things upside down. Everyone knows that as long as Jingguo does not have a great master to take charge, only one Yue Emperor will not be able to defend Jingguo."
Xu Shanshan slowly Lifting his eyes, his dark eyes reflected the black clouds in the sky: "Why guess? We'll find out if we arrest the seven kings one by one and interrogate them."
Mao Mao loves her to death at this time. With a arrogant look, it rubbed against her hard, hard.
"By the way, King Chen intends to control the Longtang family. If the Tang family chooses to be a traitor and associates with the rebellious ministers and traitors, they will be punished."
Xu Shanshan touched its soft and warm feathers: "Be ruthless. It looks like the legendary bird."
"Probably, it looks like the master." The red eyes are cold.
——
After Sangong returned, he immediately held an internal family meeting in the auditorium.
Basically, all the direct bloodlines of the Tang family were recalled urgently and gathered together.
Jiashan and his younger brother Tang Jiayu are also among them.
Fu Gong specially wore a clan elder's uniform that was only worn on important occasions such as ancestor worship. He was dressed solemnly just to tell everyone the seriousness of the matter.
"I have told you what has happened. Now the Tang family needs to gather the wisdom of all the clansmen to choose the future advancement and retreat of the Tang family. Whether to conspire with King Chen or to reject it outright will be decided by us together!"< br>
"Grandpa, why don't you agree? Although our Tang family is the richest man in Jiangling, we have been fighting against the officials since ancient times. If King Chen really wants to be the king one day in the future, wouldn't our Tang family have the merit of following the dragon?"
"No, I have heard about King Chen for a long time. I am afraid that he is seeking skin from a tiger. If he comes to power, he will definitely clean up the people who knew about his criticism in the past. In the end, our Tang family may not know what will happen."
"I think. How about entrusting yourself to Xu Snake first and finding other solutions later? "Nonsense! You think this is just a house, and you can leave if you don't want to do it?" There is still a way to turn back!"
The tribesmen below were discussing in a hurry. Although the three men were sighing inwardly, they had to pretend to be determined on their faces, as if to stabilize their hearts.
“Since everyone has their own opinions, let’s vote to decide.”
Tang Jiayu secretly tugged at the corner of Jiashan's sleeve: "Brother, which side are we going to vote for?"
"As you wish."
"As you wish?" Jiayu was only fifteen years old, and still He didn't quite understand the word, so he struggled: "I... I don't really want to be a traitor, but I don't want to die either."
Jiashan looked at him with tolerant and gentle eyes: "It's human nature to not want to die. , but I don’t want to do something, but I just follow my heart.”
Jiayu’s eyes suddenly lit up: “I understand.”
A green-feathered parrot was squatting quietly on the beam, its red eyes staring at the voting results below in a strange way.
By the way, Jing has received tips from book friends these days. They are available on various websites under the banner. They have special names, but some names are just a string of numbers, which is difficult to remember==. Are all our current book friends just a bunch of code?
