Chapter 274: All People Are Fake
A month later, in the funeral parlor at 108 Yongle Street in the lower part of the city, a young man was busy, wrapping the bodies in body bags and putting them on a cart to push them from one morgue to another.
For more than a month, he has been like this, and everyone in the funeral home thinks that this person is a madman, but only the old man who guards knows that this young man is just releasing the depression in his heart, and in the face of everyone's betrayal, he has been swayed by emotions.
On this day, a gray-haired old man walked in from outside the funeral home, and after seeing the young man who was moving the body, he quickly stepped forward and grabbed his arm: "Qiu Yan, I finally found you." β
That's right, this young man who moved the body in the funeral home is me, Qiu Yan! But since I was stabbed three times by Shu Jin a month ago, I have lost the courage to live, or I have lost the courage to face the future, I don't know who to trust and who to trust, so I came to Huang Guangyu to help move the corpse as an apprentice.
And the person who found me was none other than Xu Lao, who was far away in Longhu Mountain.
The knife of the years cut two more furrows in his face, making him look even older.
"Second master." My throat squirmed, I didn't know if this Xu Lao was real or fake, but when I saw this face, I felt like I had found support, and tears came out of my eyes.
He took me in his arms and reached out to touch my head: "I know all this you have been through, but I can't stop it from happening, child, I have wronged you." β
Xu Lao said this, my tears are even more flowing, more than a month, no one listened to me, only I was silently bearing the consequences of all this, my friend's backlash made me feel as if I was carrying a thousand pounds of burden.
I wiped the tears from the corners of my eyes and said, "Second Master, are you real or fake?" β
"I'm a fake, and everybody is fake." Xu Lao chuckled and said: "Because it has really been all killed, now you can only listen to that old bastard to join the ghost gate to avoid all this persecution, your friend, is to call the three eyes that the injury has recovered, Shu Jin did his best to treat him, and then drove him out of Stone City, he is now in this coastal city, do you want to see him?" β
I nodded and said yes, because I wanted to ask him personally if the person who asked him to steal Shu Jin's property and tease Zuo Ningning was me.
Because I have always doubted that Peng Zu in two years can return to today, or Peng Zu two years ago can travel back to two years later, so will I travel to today in two years? Or maybe the person who instigated the Three Eyes might be a scholar with a thousand faces? If that's the case......
Then the old Xu in front of me, is it a thousand-faced scholar?
"I'm not a scholar with a thousand faces, and the reason why I say it's fake is to prevent him from attacking me." Old Xu seemed to know what I was thinking, and pointed to the sky with his finger.
I was skeptical, and he rubbed his hand on his face to prove to me that he was him, and he pulled out a scroll from his bosom, something I was particularly familiar with, because the treasure I had been in contact with since the beginning was this thingβthe prophecy scroll.
Xu Lao said that this was given to him by Shu Jin, because after that incident, he also began to feel whether he was doing it correctly, and this thing has always been in his hands, and no matter what, he and I have already cut off the robe, and he should not hold the prophecy scroll anymore, so he gave it to Xu Lao, and he looked for me for a month because of this, and he didn't expect me to hide here because of this.
I took the prophecy scroll and put it right in my bag, which I don't want to look at right now.
Xu Lao said: "Do you want to see Sanyan now?" β
"Where?"
"My home."
Yes, Three Eyes was placed in his original home by Xu Lao, I really want to ask Xu Lao if he is not afraid that Three Eyes will steal something from him? But when I first met Xu Lao, Shu Jin told me that Xu Lao can know fifty years before and fifty years later, so what kind of person the three eyes are may Xu Lao already knows.
Pushing open the door of the courtyard, Sanyan was hanging from a ladder, his face was red with sweat.
Seeing the two of us coming in, he jumped down from the ladder and said, "Senior Xu." β
Then he frowned and looked at me again, and looked at me for a long time before saying, "Brother Qiu? β
I nodded, I didn't blame him, I was now full of beard and he could recognize me at a glance.
He gave me a bear hug directly: "Brother, it's good to see you again." β
"Third brother, there is something I don't understand very well, I want to ask you."
"You ask." He said.
Xu Lao said: "You two talk first, I'll go out and buy something." β
After Xu Lao left, I said, "Who instructed you to flirt with Zuo Ningning?" β
"Didn't your brother tell me to do this? I said no, but you said that your friend is not the same person he used to be. Three-eyed eyes looked straight at me.
I felt in my heart, Sanyan didn't lie, so that means that it was indeed me who asked him to tease Zuo Ningning, all of this was instructed by me, but who was I who instructed him.
Three-eyed said, "Brother Qiu, is there any problem?" β
"Third brother, I can't hide it, the person who instructed you to do those things was not me, but a person who pretended to be me, so this matter is ......"
"Ugh." Three-Eyes sighed and said that he shouldn't have trusted that person, because that person's temperament is fundamentally different from my current one, but Three-Eyes was just to repay me for saving my life, and he had absolutely nothing to say about what I asked him to do, so it led to the current situation.
I patted him on the shoulder and said, "Who is a sage who is not guilty?" Just don't believe him so easily next time, Sanyan also nodded yes, and asked me if he wanted to apologize to Shu Jin, and I said that I didn't have to for the time being.
He sighed and said, "Actually, that man's voice is a bit old. β
"Old?" I said, "What's old?" β
"I can't say it, but I feel that he is an old man, and his kung fu is very strong, at least compared to your brother, and I believe him because his kung fu is on par with you, because there are too few geniuses like you, but I ignored his voice."
"Don't blame yourself, sooner or later I'll catch him and skin him and tear him apart." I said through gritted teeth.
It just so happened that Xu Lao came back at this time, and he was carrying sauce elbows, roast chicken, and two bottles of white wine in his hands.
He said, "Let's eat something first, and then we'll talk when we're done, I'll go get some rice?" β
"I'll go." I got up and said.
Three-eyes wanted to grab me, but I pushed him to the stone bench in the courtyard and got into the kitchen by himself.
Because I need to be quiet and think about how true the words of the three eyes are.
