Chapter 55: The Gathering
The old man's face was full of anger, he was a bald head, so at a glance, you could see that he only had one eye and one ear, but this did not diminish the hatred in his eyes in the slightest.
It's finally here! Finally, the moment of confrontation has come.
I choked up and got up from the hidden grass and walked over to him.
Huang Yiyi and Qin Luye followed me to my left and right, their hands trembling and their bodies trembling.
"It's me!" I suppressed my fear and readily confessed.
"Hahaha! Interesting, interesting. The blind old ghost actually knew where I was for a long time, because the first thing he said was to look in my direction, and now, that grim gaze was even more dazzling: "Yesterday, I have already warned you, tell you to get out of here!" Why are you going to kill yourself? Forget about killing yourself, and bring me two beautiful female dependents. Okay, for the sake of these two girls, I'll give it to you. Refreshing, not torturing you. ”
"Old ghost!" Having come this far, I have no choice, and it is impossible for me to admit it now. Instead of cowardice, it is better to make a big move: "How can you say that you were also the leader of the Five Elements Bagua World during your lifetime, and after you die, if you do such a thing that violates the way of heaven, aren't you afraid of being punished by God?" ”
"Heavenly Dao? Damnation? The blind old man repeated my two words, and he suddenly laughed: "Hahahahahahahaha,......"
Cachinnation! Guffaw! This laughter pierced the sky and soared into the sky!
Listening to the laughter of the blind old man, goosebumps rose all over my body, and this laughter was so penetrating that it could almost penetrate into the marrow of a person. Huang Yiyi, who was holding my arm, and Qin Luye trembled even more.
Suddenly, the blind old man stopped laughing, and the world was calm again......
"On this day, is there really a way?" The blind old man looked up at the sky, his eyes were full of disappointment: "If there really is a way of heaven, then when my eyes were gouged out and my ears were cut off, where was the way of heaven?" I was only thirteen years old at the time, why didn't Heaven come out to help me? Why didn't anyone tell me the way of heaven at that time? ”
"In the twenty-third year of Jiajing, I was an apprentice in the Zhao merchants, and my parents were both servants in the Zhao merchants. Zhao Shang is a great good person in our local area, and during the drought, he opened a warehouse to revitalize grain and benefit the people. He is the best person I have ever met in my life, he asked me to be a companion to the young master, he can read and write, and he is as kind to me as a mountain. One night, a man Huang led someone to the door to find Zhao Shang's daughter to hire, and Zhao Shang refused to be retaliated by Huang and killed Zhao Shang's family of 38 on the spot! Among them were my parents. At that time, I hid in the earthen stove and survived, and I saw with my own eyes that Huang slaughtered Zhao Shangmanmen. ”
"The next day, I reported the matter to the yamen, and told me everything I had seen and heard all that I had heard. However, Liu County's order had already been bought by Huang with gold, and Liu County's order took me to a prison cell, and let Huang commit violence against me, brutally beating, and make me change my confession. I knew that it was something on the paper that I confessed to my guilt, so I didn't draw it! But they gouged out my eyes, cut out my ears, and threw me into the wilderness, and made me feared. ”
"At that time, I also believed in the way of heaven, and I also believed that they would be punished. But no, the Liu County Order also added officials to the knighthood, and Huang even occupied all the property of Zhao Shang. Excuse me, where was the way of heaven at that time? If there was really a way in the heavens at that time, why would such a vicious person be allowed to live in the world? Still rich and rich? ”
The blind old man was completely furious, and the light of his whole body began to redden! Red as blood. I know that it is his anger burning, and the anger of a ghost is different from that of a person, and the anger of a person is only in the heart, and it is only covered by the body. But ghosts are different, and the anger of ghosts is something that can be emanated, something that can be seen with the naked eye.
Feeling the anger of the blind old man, after listening to his story, I could feel the anger in his heart.
When he was most helpless and in need of help, the heavens were not on his side at all, on the contrary, on the side of the bad guys. Therefore, he hated, hated the injustice of this world, and hated the injustice of this heavenly way.
At this moment, I didn't know what to say, because I found that no matter what I said, I couldn't refute what he said. If Heaven was really fair, he shouldn't have suffered such a tragic experience at that time.
"After being gouged out and my ears cut out, I was like a monster, disgusted everywhere I went. Everybody, they all looked at me with the same eyes as monsters, they all treated me with the same way they treated animals, I suffered all the humiliation of the world, I suffered the torture of the world. I know that this way of heaven is inherently unfair, and my fate can only be in my own hands, and if I want to keep myself from being bullied, I can only strengthen myself. So, I found a Taoist master, I begged him to teach me skills, I spent thirty years, learned the art of yin and yang five elements, and knew the truth of the heavenly way cycle......"
At this point, his gaze was on the sky.
"So, later you fought against the heavens, rebelled against the way of heaven, and rebelled against fate! Embarked on this path of arranging seventy-two earthly evils? I asked the blind, deep-eyed old man.
"No!" The blind old man turned his head and looked at me: "Zhao Shang is as kind to me as a mountain, and the first thing I did after I left the mountain was, of course, revenge!" I put a feng shui spell on the ancestral graves of the two families of Liu County Ling and Huang! I will cut them off from this world from now on. After the curse, I watched the family be ruined in the past two days before I left. I came here and started fighting with the sky. ”
"Doesn't this ridiculous God want everyone to live under his control? I don't! It has no way, no eyes, and no way to hopelessly elevate those who are powerful, and trample on those poor people without scruples. I didn't have to follow its rules, so I found here, I spent the rest of my life arranging seventy-two earthly demons, I didn't get the respect I deserved during my lifetime, I didn't enjoy the joy of being a man for a day, and after I died, I wanted to enjoy the treatment of an emperor! ”
At this point, the blind old man laughed wildly again, this time with a very hideous and terrifying smile.
"No!" I shook my head: "You're wrong! You have been respected, and you have been respected by the people of Hujiawan. In this place of Hujiawan, they all respect you as a master! In their stories, you are their patron saint. As long as you really helped these people at that time, they will still appreciate you, but you did something wrong! ”
"Wrong?" The blind old man roared with anger on his face: "Why am I wrong? More than 30 members of my benefactor's family were destroyed, my parents were destroyed, my eyes were gouged out, and my ears were cut off. I'm revenge, is that wrong? Shouldn't I take revenge? And this God, if he really has the way, if he really has the way of heaven, and he helped me at that time, can I fight him? Little doll, don't persuade others to be kind without suffering from others! I used to just want to be a kind person, but they wouldn't give me a chance! They won't give me a chance! ”
"There is nothing wrong with your revenge, and there is nothing wrong with you fighting with the sky! But you are wrong to take seventy-two innocent lives. You have destroyed seventy-two innocent families, and you have deprived these seventy-two lives of the opportunity to be reincarnated. You are indeed pitiful for what happened to you, but have you ever thought about these innocent lives? Aren't they pitiful? When they were captured and tortured by you, they wailed in pain for you to let them go, and you yourself felt the taste of despair, so have you ever thought about the despair in their hearts? They should have their own Zhaohua, but because of one of your decisions, you took the lives of so many people! That's your fault. I rebelled with righteous words, accusing him of his actions.
At the moment, all fears are behind me! I just want him to clearly understand his mistakes. What happened to him was not an excuse for him to make such a big mistake, he could fight with the sky, but he shouldn't hurt innocent people.
"Ridiculous! Who do you think you are? Who are you to accuse me like that? When the words landed, I saw him wave his big hand, and then, an invisible big hand directly grabbed my neck!
