This deity is handsome and splits the sky

Chapter 21

There was a circle of people in front of the dilapidated wooden house, Dongsheng tried his best to push the crowd away, he gasped for breath, vaguely expecting that it would be his father who would appear after pushing away the crowd.

"father!"

He Liangjie turned his head in surprise, the fan in his hand stopped, raised his eyebrows, "Hey!"

Dong Sheng pushed away from the crowd and was stunned.

A group of strong men were coming in and out, moving things from his house, one by one.He Liangjie was commanding with a fan, "Hurry up, move away all the valuables."

"What are you doing!" Dong Sheng ran up to stop him, but was thrown away by a strong man like a chicken.

"Moving things." He Liangjie looked puzzled, looked at the strong men who were moving things, and then looked at Dongsheng, and felt that Dongsheng was asking questions knowingly.

"Look carefully at what is valuable, don't miss it!" He Liangjie yelled, and turned to Dongsheng with disgust: "Why don't you have anything at home?"

"Your father told me before that he will have money soon, so let me have a few days of grace. It has been so many days, and your father has not been seen. I haven't paid back the 20 taels of silver that I owe, so I can only I came to your house." He Liangjie shrugged and looked into the room, "It seems that these things in your house are not worth 20 taels..."

After finishing speaking, He Liangjie rolled his eyes and looked at Dongsheng, "Brat, do you have any money?"

Dongsheng shook his head blankly, He Liangjie waved his fan, and a subordinate came over, carrying Dongsheng and began to search him, Dongsheng struggled uncontrollably, and the copper coins in his arms fell out.

The copper coins fell on the ground and made a tinkling sound. He Liangjie frowned and looked at it in disgust, and twitched the corners of his mouth, "Forget it."

None of the onlookers came up to stop them, but they began to whisper, nothing more than how Meng Dalang owed He Liangjie so much money, followed by various malicious speculations.

Dongsheng looked at the crowd with hatred, he knew them all, they were all his father's 'good brothers' and 'good neighbors', they were usually friendly and affectionate when they asked for help or took advantage of something, but now they all had a condescending and unfamiliar face.

He Liangjie commanded his subordinates to evacuate Dongsheng's house, "Since your father is dead, you can pay back the rest of the money." He Liangjie stretched out his hand, and the subordinate next to him handed over an account book. He Liangjie flipped through it, "These Let’s barely pay three liang of silver for things, and there are 17 liang of silver, you can pay it all at once, or slowly, in short, the father’s debt will be paid by the son.”

"My father is not dead!!!" Dongsheng's eyes were shattered, he roared and rushed forward to beat He Liangjie with his fists, but before He Liangjie could react, the subordinates around him kicked Dongsheng away first.

Dongsheng sat down on the ground, He Liangjie gave Dongsheng a disgusted look, "It's been so many days, where can I go if I'm not dead? Can I run out of the city?"

Dong Sheng sat on the ground in despair, his eyes full of despair.

"My father is not dead..."

It wasn't until He Liangjie swaggered away, and the people who had watched the excitement dispersed with sighs, and after a long while, Dongsheng choked up and said, "My father is not dead."

The sun had completely set, and the moonlight was obscured by dark clouds.Dong Sheng prostrated himself on the ground, with bloody hands, under the dim moonlight, he searched for copper coins one by one in the cracks of the bricks, and stuffed them carefully into his bosom.

The room was empty, except for a roll of straw mats and an oil lamp that was almost out of oil.

A few days ago, he was lying here throwing a fit at Meng Dalang.

Dongsheng didn't want to look at the scene in front of him any more, turned around and ran out the door, ran aimlessly across the quiet street, and didn't stop until he reached the river.

The moonlight shone on the riverside, sparkling, Dongsheng stopped by the riverside, his eyes were empty, he looked at the lake, the bottom was pitch black, so deep that it seemed to suck him in.

Dongsheng unconsciously took a step forward, almost stepping into the river, when he suddenly woke up.

What is he doing?

Dongsheng took a step back, still looking at the lake in a daze.

At this time, he suddenly saw something floating far away from the river, and he could only see a black shadow when it was too far away.

That thing floated quietly along with the river, and stopped when it floated in front of Dongsheng, swirling quietly on the river surface.

It was a bronze box, the size of a palm, engraved with strange runes.

As if bewitched, Dongsheng bent down and picked up the box.

He wiped the water on the box carefully, revealing the tiger's head on the top. He tried to open the box, there was obviously no lock on the box, but he tried his best, but the box still remained motionless.

Dongsheng gave up, and sat by the river for a while with the box in his arms. He sat there until ten minutes before sunrise, and then slowly went back.

He suspected that Lao Ma knew where his father had gone, but he didn't dare to bump into Lao Ma in the open, only dared to follow him secretly.

Lao Ma only does three things on weekdays, eating, sleeping, and gambling.

Lao Ma has a very good relationship with the people in He Liangjie's gambling shop, and he has no chance of touching Lao Ma while drinking and rolling dice with those officials.

I don't know why, but that box seems to be very attractive to him, and Dongsheng takes the box with him even when he goes out.

A few days later, He Liangjie came to ask for money again, and Dongsheng only had a few copper coins left on him, so he couldn't repay the money as a matter of course, so He Liangjie led someone to beat him up.After the beating was over, He Liangjie said that he was short of a servant, and that he could sell himself if he couldn't pay the debt.

He Liangjie always acted like a dandy, and bullying others was his favorite thing to do on weekdays. He treated Dongsheng like a kitten or puppy, rewarding Dongsheng with two money if he was happy, and beating and scolding him if he was unhappy.

But it was also because of He Liangjie that he would not starve to death on the street.

But since Dong Sheng became He Liangjie's servant, he didn't need to follow Lao Ma anymore, because Lao Ma's most frequent visit was He Liangjie's gambling house.

One day, Lao Ma was so drunk that he slipped his mouth when clinking glasses with the official who was traveling with him.

"Isn't that Meng Dalang's son? Why are you here?"

"I heard that his father owed Mr. He money, and it's time to pay off the debt. By the way, Lao Ma, is this money paid by Meng Dalang for you?"

Lao Ma got drunk and said vaguely, "What's yours and mine? That's my righteous brother! It's only natural for a righteous brother to pay a debt to a righteous brother!"

The rest of the people laughed loudly, "Returning righteous brothers and righteous brothers, that's not what you said last time, the cash cow is not bad."

"If you are so poor, can you be called a cash cow?" Lao Ma squinted his eyes, "But...he is dead, and I don't have to pay back the debt I owe him."

The rest of the people hurriedly "shushed", "Keep your voice down! Don't be heard! The higher-ups ordered not to mention this!"

Dongsheng behind the pillar suddenly opened his eyes wide.

"Why keep quiet! If he hadn't dug it out...that thing...we wouldn't have suffered." Old Ma said angrily, "He deserves it!"

"Stop talking! Let's go!" The rest of the people dragged the drunk Lao Ma to leave, but Lao Ma lingered, still cursing with his eyes closed, "He's the one who got us into trouble! He deserves to be—"

Lao Ma was dragged away, Dong Sheng turned out from behind the pillar, his eyes were filled with gloom, he picked up the ax beside the woodshed, and followed.

The few people in front stumbled along the road, Dong Sheng followed behind them with eyes full of hatred, and shook the ax in his hand.

"If I were you, I wouldn't be so impulsive." A deep and hoarse voice suddenly came out of Dongsheng's ear.

Dong Sheng looked around in astonishment, but couldn't find the source of the sound.

"Now you can't kill them."

Dong Sheng was taken aback for a moment, then took out the bronze box from his arms, "Is it you talking?"

The bronze box said: "I can help you."

Dongsheng was stunned, holding the box at a loss, "You, you are a monster?!"

"How could this seat be such a low-level thing." The bronze box sneered.

"Oh, whoever you are, I don't need your help." Dongsheng shook the box and stuffed it into his arms, then picked up the ax again, "I can kill him."

Whether it is Lao Ma or the others, when there is always an order, he will find every opportunity and use all his strength to kill them.

"But you don't seem to want to kill them." Bronze Box said slowly, his voice was gloomy like hell, with a hint of bewitching power, "You obviously hate everyone, why don't you dare to kill them?"

Dongsheng's heart felt as if he had been hit hard.

Yes, he can't wait to cut off all the rumors and rumors. After his father's death, all those kind and hypocritical faces have turned into ugly faces for watching a show.

No one cared what happened to Meng Dalang, because to them, Meng Dalang was an honest man who was easy to bully.

Will not refute, will not fight, and will respond to requests.It seems that she is well-mannered and popular, but in fact she only wants to please and refuses. People don't care even if they are missing, they just feel that there is one less person to bully.

The only thing that is not pleasing to the eye is Meng Dalang's son whose eyes grow to the sky.So after Meng Dalang's death, no one cared about face any more, and vented their malice with indifference and cynicism.

If... could kill everyone in the city...

These Dongsheng used to only dare to think darkly in their hearts, but now, someone actually spoke out what was in his mind as if he had the ability to read his mind, which made Dongsheng feel a faint hope in his heart.

"who are you?"

"This seat is born of heaven and earth, nourished by all things, gathers the creation of heaven and earth, and surpasses all things. The world calls me the heart-eating vine."

Dongsheng held the box blankly, "You are...a god?" But how could the god be locked in the box?

"That's natural." The heart-eating vine said arrogantly, and his tone changed, with a bit of a sigh, "I am a true god, but I was conspired by evil people thousands of years ago and sealed by him in this small bronze box .”

"It's none of my business. How can you help me kill people after being sealed?" Dong Sheng interrupted.

"Although this seat is sealed, it is not completely abolished." The voice of the heart-eating vine became extremely gloomy in an instant.

A jet of black devilish energy condensed into vines and instantly wrapped around Dongsheng's neck, hanging him up.Dong Sheng opened his eyes wide in astonishment, trying to support the floor tiles with his toes, struggling to break free from the vines, as the vines rose inch by inch, Dong Sheng was completely suspended in the air, the veins on his forehead bulged, and there was a gurgling sound in his throat .

"You are begging me, not me begging you."
