Chapter 76: The Tao is Ruthless but Affectionate (I)
"Tianyang?"
Qian Yu was stunned for a moment, and then understood, Li Xinyao once mentioned that when he was walking the rivers and lakes when he was young, his master gave him the word "Tianyang". Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
In ancient times, when men were adults, it was inconvenient to call them by their first names. Therefore, another alias related to the meaning of the original name is called a character to express its virtue.
The main meaning of taking the word is that after the man is 20 years old and the crown, he has the way of being a father, and friends and others cannot call him by his name, so the word at the top of the crown is also an honorific title. This saying originated in the Shang Dynasty and prevailed in the Zhou Dynasty, and until before the liberation and earlier, as long as people with a little status would give themselves a word.
The fourth master in front of him can say Li Xinyao's words in one mouth, and it seems that the two really intersected back then.
"Yes, that's my master."
After getting Qianyu's affirmation, Hua Siye grabbed Qianyu's shoulder, looked at Qianyu's eyes with his eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "Little brother, where is your master now?" Where has he been all these years? I also secretly visited his whereabouts after I lived in seclusion, but I never heard from him. ”
Looking at the old man who was out of shape in front of him, Qian Yu pinched the fingertips of the soul chasing needle and kept secretly facing his chest, and said quietly on his face: "Fourth master, my master has been hiding his whereabouts all these years to prevent being found by the people of the Eight Stunts, in fact, he ......"
Qian Yu hesitated for a moment, and then told Hua Siye about Li Xinyao's affairs in the juvenile detention center, anyway, the master's hiding place has been discovered by the people of the Eight Stunts, and there is no point in hiding it now, maybe he can find Li Xinyao's whereabouts through the old man in front of him.
"This ...... Eight stunts of people came to the door? ”
After listening to Qian Yu's narration, Hua Siye's face flashed with a burst of amazement.
Fingers let go of Qianyu's shoulders, slowly sat down in the chair, sighed, and said, "Alas...... If I hadn't asked him for help back then, maybe the people with the eight stunts wouldn't have paid attention to him, but I didn't expect those people to come to the door again now, little guy, what note did your master leave for you? ”
Previously, Hua Siye had always called Qianyu a little brother, but after learning about this origin, Hua Siye naturally refused to talk to Qianyu's peers anymore, and called him a little guy instead.
"No, Master cheated to death, and then left in a hurry, and I have been looking for his whereabouts all the time."
Qian Yu stared at Hua Siye's reaction with the corner of his eye, as if he was looking down at the desktop, and asked casually: "Fourth Master, the master said that you betrayed the Outer Eight Elements back then, but his old man has always been not too hostile to you, what happened back then, was it really you who betrayed the Outer Eight Elements?" ”
"It's me."
After Hua Siye said these two words, as if he had put down some burden, the whole person relaxed, leaned back on the chair, and took out a rolled dry cigarette by himself, in the smoke, the old man looked at the sky, as if he had fallen into some extremely distant memory.
Hua Siye is a native of Hunan, his original surname is Shangguan, and his family is the most famous long opera troupe in Changsha, I heard that Hua Siye's grandfather once entered the palace to sing for the emperor, and the emperor liked it, so Shangguan's family developed overnight, and how many dignitaries and nobles were proud to invite the opera troupe of Shangguan's family to sing.
To use the old saying, if you invite the royal troupe, we can be regarded as a little bit of extravagance.
It's just that in that chaotic era, the court was already a thing of the past, with warlords separating and invasion outside, and soon fell into that chaotic and dark era.
After the warlords occupied Changsha, they heard that the Shangguan family was the opera troupe used by the royal family that year, so they invited people from the Shangguan family to perform to help the fun. At that time, the warlords fantasized that they could restore themselves as emperors, so whether it was the cooks who came out of the palace or these royal troupes, they were all the objects of competition among these people, and they wanted to enjoy the treatment of the royal family back then.
Unfortunately, at that time, there were assassins mixed in the Shangguan family's troupe, and when performing Farewell My Concubine, the assassin suddenly made a move on the stage, but fortunately, the warlord's subordinates sacrificed their lives to each other, and the warlord picked up a life.
Seeing this, it was naturally the warlord's anger, so in a fit of rage, he ordered to destroy the Shangguan family.
Hua Siye's grandfather and father died in the riot, and a housekeeper who escaped by luck immediately returned to Shangguan's house to report the situation, and some of the men and women who stayed in the troupe immediately packed up some softness and left here.
But before he could get out of the city, he was besieged and killed by the warlord's men, and there were 235 people in the Shangguan family, and only 81 escaped.
At that time, Hua Siye, although he had learned to sing since he was a child, he was reluctant to eat this bowl of rice, not that he couldn't look down on singing, but that he thought that such a life was not exciting.
So when he was twelve years old, Hua Siye ran away from home after a big quarrel with his father, and he had not heard from him for eight years.
Just when the Shangguan family was at the end of their rope and was forced to the area of Gugang Town, they happened to meet Hua Siye, who was carrying people and carrying things out of the ground, and he fainted with fright at that time, but fortunately, Hua Siye's mother was still alive and recognized this runaway son.
It turned out that after Hua Siye left home, he worshiped the master of the Changsha thief door as his teacher, and after learning the craft, he pulled up the banner and led people to rob the tomb.
And Hua Siye robbed the tomb with several principles, that is, what cannot be taken away, put it in place, and it is not allowed to be destroyed; Only half of the objects in the tomb should be taken, and no more should be taken than necessary, leaving something for later colleagues; Never open the coffin to take the funeral goods of the corpse, alarming the deceased.
Some guest officers may ask here, Cangyue, you are talking nonsense, how can the tomb robber not open the coffin, the valuable things are inside.
Actually, that's exactly what happened.
The reason why Hua Siye robbed the tomb was because of the chaos back then, and he learned the authentic art of stealing doors, so naturally he would not do the business of robbing houses and houses; Besides, in that era, everyone was in the midst of war and famine, and stealing from others was equivalent to indirectly taking someone else's life, so Hua Siye would hit the idea on this tomb.
And why not open the coffin, it is taught by the master of the fourth master, the tomb robbery is against the peace, in this era of war, if the dead man's things can save the living, then take it out, but must not disturb the rest of the deceased, this is a big taboo in the eyes of the master of the fourth master.
In Hua Siye's team, there is also a clever feng shui gentleman, who always wears a pair of sunglasses, and is nicknamed "black donkey", because this person is a donkey temper, except for Hua Siye, no one is convinced.
I heard that it was because the village at home was killed by horse thieves, and the family died, and this feng shui gentleman was also seriously injured, it was Hua Siye who gave him a bite to eat and helped him avenge him, so he was desperate for Hua Siye, of course, the legend is just a legend, what it is, only the two of them know, but the black donkey obeyed Hua Siye's words.
Although this black donkey has a bad temper, but the ability to find the dragon point is indeed unique, every time the ancient tomb is found, it is a rare fertile land, so although the coffin is not opened, but it can also make a lot of money.
Seeing that his mother, who was originally like a noblewoman, is now so thin that she is skeletal and erect, and then she heard that her father and grandfather are dead, and the three sisters in the family have been arrested by that warlord, Hua Siye's eyes were red at that time.
After arranging for the clansmen to live in the family, Hua Siye rushed to Changsha with eight of his subordinates, no one knew how these people did it, but that night, the warlord's house was killed and bloody, and the warlord was chopped into six pieces and hung on the city to show the public, as for the soldiers under his command, they all died, and those who fled, basically there was no one left.
As for the youngest one, that is, the third sister of Hua Siye, because she was afraid of the same fate as the two sisters, she actually made a commotion to be the aunt of the warlord, and his third sister didn't even dissuade him from saying a word about the warlord's pursuit and killing of his family.
The final result, of course, was that the third sister died at the hands of Hua Siye.
"They're gone, why are you still alive? What you have in your body is not the blood of my Shangguan family. ”
Hua Siye's subordinates later said this, Hua Siye's eyes were terrifyingly cold at that time, they were simply not human eyes.
The eight people under Hua Siye are all famous outlaws in the rivers and lakes, and they originally relied on Hua Siye's skills and the black donkey's ability to find dragon points, so there was no rebellion, and Hua Siye is also a very good talker on weekdays, but after this incident, everything has changed.
