Chapter 298: The Past Is Unbearable
Regarding this question, Li Hao really felt very curious.
After all, these two people don't look like people all the way from any point of view, but now they are like father and daughter...... Demon!
"Grill a few more fish for me, and keep them older. Lao Huang sighed suddenly, his originally straight back seemed to be a little stiffer, and his sloppy face showed a bit of loneliness, "Let me tell you a story." ”
Li Hao nodded, pricked up his ears while grilling fish, and began to listen carefully to Lao Huang's story.
In fact, he also understands in his heart that this so-called story should be Lao Huang's own personal experience.
"Once upon a time, there was a lazy and impetuous young man, he has always been an incompetent and unfilial son in the eyes of his parents, and he is also a prodigal son in the eyes of the neighbors, and his reputation is simply stinky, until one day a bull-nosed old Taoist discovered his talent for cultivation, saying that he was a genius who was seen once in a century, so he was brought into the Qingyun Sect in such a daze, put on the robe of the Qingyun Sect, and embarked on the road of cultivation in a daze. ”
"At that time, he was called a raised eyebrows in his heart, Qingyun Sect, what a big reputation! Even if it was just a little Taoist priest who swept the floor in Qingyun Sect and threw it down the mountain, he could be respected as a little immortal! His relatives and neighbors dreamed of sending their sons and nephews to Qingyun Sect to cultivate, but without exception, they all failed, but only that prodigal son successfully entered Qingyun Sect, which is equivalent to slapping those people's faces, really relieving!"
On the day of the initiation, all the new disciples got together and had a small party, and he was in a good mood, and he got drunk happily, but at the initiation ceremony, he urinated in public and then ...... He naturally became a shame and a joke for the entire Qingyun Sect, his master didn't even want to admit that there was such a disciple, and he didn't even want to teach him the cultivation techniques in person later, just casually threw him the basic secret book and a few bottles of pills to deal with it. ”
"Everyone thinks that he is a fool with no brains, a madman with no score, because there has never been a second person in the 10,000-year history of Qingyun Sect who dares to openly pee at the entrance ceremony. But...... Who asked him why he was drunk that day, and who gave him a chance to repent and apologize afterwards? No, not a single one, nothing. ”
It wasn't until later that he learned that the gathering that day had been a deliberate calculation by a small group of people for the initiation ceremony that would take place later. To put it mildly, the new disciples are like cattle in the market in the eyes of those elders, talent determines the degree of sought-after of each person, and the number of disciples under each master's name is limited, simply put, it is a radish and a pit. ”
"The path of cultivation is full of difficulties and dangers, and a good master is very important for a beginner monk, this is something that everyone knows, so in order to worship a good master, those ambitious disciples can do everything, and that stupid prodigal son doesn't know that he has already become the target of public criticism - because his talent is unrivaled, if nothing else, he will get the best resources, including the master, including the exercises, including the elixir, ......etc."
"If the talent can't be compared, then simply use shady tricks to smear the image, so he became the target of everyone's persuasion at that party, which led to a drunken and ugly appearance in the end...... However, no one cared about the truth at all, and no one gave him a chance to mend his ways, he was like an abandoned orphan, thrown into the garbage heap that no one cared about. ”
"From that day on, he secretly vowed to work hard, even if there is no master who does not have enough cultivation resources, even if he only relies on his own self-reliance, he must rise against the trend, he wants to become stronger, he wants to make all the people who abandoned him regret at the beginning, he wants to make all the people who calculated and hurt him back then kneel and repent!"
"It turns out that talent can indeed decide everything, it took him less than twenty years to become the first person in his generation, those guys who played conspiracy and calculation couldn't even parry three rounds in front of him, and he could even challenge the masters of Master's generation by leaping over the level!"
"Overnight, his light illuminated the entire Qingyun Sect, and many people even secretly believed that he would be the strongest contender for the position of future sect master! But his light also pierced the hearts of many sinister rat generations, because his brilliant light completely obscured the light of those guys' rice grains, making all their intrigues and calculations a joke!"
In the triennial sect competition, he frustrated the heroes and won the jackpot for the Qingyun Sect, and for a time he became even more famous and in the limelight! The elders of the sect began to ease their attitude towards him, and the senior brothers of the same sect also began to take the initiative to flatter him, and he began to become fluttery, and he was oblivious to the joy of turning over and counterattacking. ”
It was during that time that he met the woman he loved most in his life - a little junior sister from the same door, and only half a year later they officially became Taoist couples and became the envy of everyone's fairy partner, and three years later they had a daughter carved in pink, a family of three and Meimei. ”
Eight years later, he was officially listed as a disciple of the Qingyun Sect and became the target of the sect's future training...... To put it bluntly, he was one of the candidates for the future sect master! On that day, he cried with joy, thinking that he was finally about to reach the peak of his life, but fate played a big joke on him!"
Speaking of this, Lao Huang's eyes were already bloodshot, and he was angry like a lion about to go crazy, which made people tremble when he looked at it.
Drinking the wine in the gourd in one gulp, Lao Huang gritted his teeth and said: "Overnight, absurd gossip suddenly appeared in the sect, saying that his wife was ...... That is, that little junior sister is a demon girl who cultivates the oyster, and the rumors spread like the real thing, and it soon spread throughout the entire sect!"
"The Taoist companion of the future sect master candidate turned out to be a demon girl who cultivates the snake, what a sensational secret this is! For a while, the entire Qingyun Sect was boiling, shouting 'Please punish the demon girl' like a tsunami wave, wave after wave, so that as soon as our family of three showed up in the sect, they would be greeted with white eyes and even spit. ”
In the eyes of a well-known and upright Taoist defender like Qingyun Sect, there is absolutely no room for a little sand, good is good, evil is evil, good is good, evil is evil! And in the eyes of those guardians, the cultivation of the demon is equivalent to a heinous demon, and it is absolutely intolerant of the appearance of a demon cultivator under his own door, so his wife was questioned and examined, but what surprised everyone was ...... He really found the breath of a corpse in his wife's body!"
The evidence was so ironclad that he couldn't argue at all, and even he began to wonder if his wife was really secretly cultivating behind his back...... Then a difficult choice was pushed in front of him - a future or a wife. If you want to continue to sit firmly in the position of a disciple of the Inner Sect, you must kill your relatives in righteousness and push that demon girl to the guillotine of justice! If you choose a wife...... Then I can only say goodbye to the Qingyun Sect from now on and become a traitor in the eyes of all the True Cultivators!"
After three days and three nights of fighting between heaven and man, he finally chose his future. Speaking of this, Lao Huang's voice became a little hoarse, and there seemed to be a little choking when he listened carefully, "In the previous thirty years of struggle, he was in order to get ahead, in order to prove that he was the most outstanding disciple of the Qingyun Sect! So he didn't want to let his more than thirty years of struggle come to naught for the sake of a woman, so he chose to kill his relatives with righteousness!"
On that day, he watched his wife being strangled alive on the execution table, and after his death, he was scolded by the entire sect's disciples and permanently nailed to the sect's pillar of shame...... On that same day, his daughter cursed him in the most vicious way, and then jumped off the bottomless Qingyun Cliff. On the same day, his wife and daughter left him, he went mad, he was driven crazy by despair, anger and remorse. ”
"It wasn't until that moment that he finally came to his senses - it was exactly the same as the drunken accident more than thirty years ago, from beginning to end, it was a conspiracy laid up by someone with a heart, a conspiracy that made him fall off the altar and collapse his image!"
In fact, no matter how he chooses, he can't change the ending of being ruined, choosing the future will be charged with abandoning his wife and daughter for cold-blooded utilitarianism, and choosing his wife and daughter will be charged with colluding with the demon girl to betray the sect...... This conspiracy was not aimed at his wife at all, it was only to pull him down from the altar from beginning to end! However, this epiphany came too late, there was no regret medicine in this world, and even if he regretted it, it would be useless. ”
After a pause, Lao Huang suddenly patted Li Hao's shoulder with red eyes, "He is much better than you in every aspect, but only this is the only one, he is not as good as you! If he had a sober mind like you back then and the courage to question authority, he would not have fallen to the point of being ruined and betraying his relatives......
Li Hao's old face turned red and said, "That'...... What does this have to do with Senior Sister Chi Yue?"
"Relationship?" Lao Huang smiled, "If I say that there is a wonderful fate in this world, it is called that two girls look almost identical...... Do you believe it?"
"Ah...... Ah?" Li Hao was stunned on the spot, "You mean my senior sister and you...... Ah no, she looks exactly like that senior's daughter?!"
"Yes, it's exactly the same!" Lao Huang's eyes flashed with a little starlight, and he said excitedly: "When we met for the first time, he even thought that he was hallucinating because of his daughter's illness, and it was really exactly the same!"
Li Hao instantly understood, "So that senior ...... Alas, what are you doing so obscurely, it's the same as something. That's why you treat him like your own daughter, and that's why you take good care of her like a treasure?"
"You kid...... old Huang tightened his brows violently, looking a little annoyed and angry, and finally sighed weakly after a long time, "It's not all, there is another reason." ”
