Chapter Twenty-Four: The Truth of the Year
Hanshan Temple is located on a hill about fifty miles outside Yecheng City, it is not a sect, but a simple temple, providing incense and faith for the residents of Yecheng and surrounding villages and towns.
When Ye Qiancheng came to the foot of Hanshan Temple, he did not go up the mountain from the front, but walked towards the top of the mountain from the trail behind.
However, he didn't know that from the time he appeared around Hanshan Temple, his every move had already been under the surveillance of the Cai and Ye families.
Ye Qiancheng came to the backyard of Hanshan Temple, secretly captured the little monk here, and knew from the other party's mouth where Gu Bai's current residence was.
didn't stop at the moment, and walked quickly towards Gu Bai's residence.
When Ye Qiancheng came to the outside of Gu Bai's small courtyard and was about to hide and observe secretly, a peaceful voice suddenly sounded in his ears: "Little donor, since you are here, please come into the house for a while." ”
Ye Qiancheng's heart froze, he asked himself if he didn't make any noise, but the other party found him, which immediately made him suspicious.
"Do you want to go, or do you want to stay?" Ye Qiancheng thought quickly in his heart, just when he had just made a decision in his heart, ready to leave here temporarily and come back to plot in the future, the next words of the owner of the voice made him stop.
"Little donor, don't you want to know the truth back then?"
If he was just shocked that the other party knew about his arrival, then he was already shocked at this moment.
Why would the other party know that he is coming, and vaguely know his identity?
To be honest, the truth that this person said was indeed unimaginable for Ye Qiancheng's attraction. After hesitating for a while, Ye Qiancheng finally decided to take a look.
The information shows that Gu Bai is now only in the middle stage of the Heavenly Gate Realm, even if there is really any ambush, Ye Qiancheng believes that with his own strength, he should still be able to escape.
Entering the small courtyard and coming to the door of the house, Ye Qiancheng took a deep breath and slowly pushed the door open.
The hut was a little simple, and on the bed near it sat an old monk in a yellow robe, with a white beard and a kind face.
Ye Qiancheng frowned, the information said that Gu Bai was only in his forties back then, and he was at most in his fifties in the past few years. And at this moment, no matter how the old monk in front of him looks, he is already seventy or eighty years old, will he be Gu Bai?
"Little donor, please feel free. The old monk stretched out his hand, and looked at Ye Qiancheng silently with a pair of eyes.
Ye Qiancheng was in the mood to sit down and listen to him chatting slowly, and asked directly, "Are you Gu Bai?"
"Amitabha, the poor monk's Dharma name Kunde, the previous common name is indeed Gu Bai. The old monk clasped his hands together and pronounced a Buddha name.
Ye Qiancheng's eyebrows furrowed even tighter, and the other party's image was a little too different from the description in the information.
Gu Bai glanced Ye Qiancheng up and down, and then said: "If the poor monk is not mistaken, you must be the child of the year, Ye Qiancheng." ”
Ye Qiancheng's eyes narrowed slightly, the cold light flickered, and he stared at the other party and said, "How can you see it?"
Gu Bai smiled slightly, and said, "After many years, there will be no one else who can still care so much about the poor monk, except for Ye Qiancheng back then." ”
Ye Qiancheng neither admitted nor denied it, and sneered: "What did you mean by that sentence when I was outside the house?"
Gu Bai glanced at Ye Qiancheng deeply, and said slowly: "The poor monk knows that Master Ye must have come here today to take the life of the poor monk, this is the reason that was planted at the beginning, and today he got such a fruit, and the poor monk has nothing to say." But before that, the poor monk wanted to help Master Ye as much as possible. ”
Ye Qiancheng couldn't figure out what tricks Gu Bai wanted to play for a while, and said cautiously: "Help me, heh, I'm afraid you're thinking too much, I don't need any help." ”
Gu Bai shook his head and said, "Since Master Ye Shi is here, why not listen to the poor monk's nagging for a while?" Presumably you are not in a hurry at this moment. ”
Ye Qiancheng didn't speak, Gu Bai took Ye Qiancheng as a default, and began his own speech: "Master Ye Shi was able to find the poor monk, and he must have a certain understanding of the poor monk's past, so the poor monk won't say much here." ”
After a pause, Gu Bai continued: "Back then, the poor monk took the lead as a snake plate and took over an assassination business. The poor monk acted arrogantly and did not delve into who the assassin was, but when we completed the task, we found that the assassin was from the Ye family, and the poor monk knew that he had been deceived. ”
Ye Qiancheng's eyes flashed, and he asked, "What do you mean by being deceived?"
Gu Bai looked at Ye Qiancheng, his eyes were full of unpredictable colors: "Because the person who entrusted us back then is the same person as the target we want to assassinate!"
"Impossible!" Ye Qiancheng instantly retorted, his eyes full of disbelief.
"Gu Bai, you still have to lie to me when you die!" Ye Qiancheng's tone was full of anger, and the vitality around him surged out, and he was about to rush towards Gu Bai.
However, when he saw Gu Bai looking at him calmly, Ye Qiancheng's heart was shocked, and the vitality around him slowly calmed down.
Ye Qiancheng gasped slightly, and only after a while did he ask, "What's her name?"
Gu Bai sighed and said, "She is your mother, Ye Mengbing!"
Ye Qiancheng took a few deep breaths, his thoughts were chaotic, he didn't understand why his mother would find someone to kill him.
Has the goal of revenge that has been supporting him all these years turned out to be a void?
Ye Qiancheng instantly felt that the strength around his body seemed to be about to be drained, and he just wanted to find a place to rest.
"No, if the person who entrusted you back then was Ye Mengbing, then why were you wiped out by the Ye family?" Ye Qiancheng suddenly thought of an important piece of information in the information he had obtained, and immediately retorted.
Gu Bai's eyes closed slightly, then looked at Ye Qiancheng and said, "Master Ye, you don't have to doubt my words. It was indeed your mother who entrusted us to assassinate her, and it is also a fact that we were wiped out by the Ye family. ”
Ye Qiancheng's eyebrows tightened, and he was almost unable to figure it out when the matter got here.
Gu Bai didn't look at Ye Qiancheng again, but looked at the rays of sunlight shining in through the window, and his tone was filled with endless melancholy and helplessness: "Back then, the poor monk was tragically destroyed by your Ye family, and the poor monk swore that he would kill all the people of your Ye family. It's a pity that the serious injuries suffered by the poor monk have not healed, which makes the poor monk retreat again and again. ”
Speaking of this, Gu Bai and Ye Qiancheng glanced at each other, Gu Bai understood that although the incident back then was not a game set against them, their snake plate had become a pond fish that was affected.
After a slight pause, Gu Bai continued: "In desperation, the poor monk had no choice but to retreat here, and while waiting for the opportunity, he did some research on the events of the year. ”
Ye Qiancheng's mood gradually calmed down, looked at Gu Bai and asked, "What investigation?"
"The poor monk found out that the reason why your mother hired someone to kill her back then was forced to do so. ”
Ye Qiancheng naturally understood that it was impossible for his mother to hire someone to kill him for no reason, there must be a reason for this, so he stared at Gu Bai and waited for his next step.
Gu Bai continued: "This matter has to start before you were born, in fact, your mother did not leave Shanghe Mansion back then, but fell in love with a disciple of Donglai Dao. This man is your father. ”
"And then?" Ye Qiancheng never dreamed that his mother had not mentioned anything about his father, and he would get information here today.
Gu Bai shook his head and said, "After your mother became friendly with that Donglai Dao disciple, she returned to the Ye family alone for some reason, and then gave birth to you. As to what happened in between, and where your father is now, I cannot know any more in my power. ”
Just when Ye Qiancheng felt lost, Gu Bai suddenly said: "Although these are the clues I had back then, there is one that I can provide you with a reference." It is said that Shen Wanjun was determined to marry your father in Donglai Dao back then!"
This piece of information suddenly exploded in Ye Qiancheng's mind like a bomb, and its power was no lighter than when he learned that his mother's client had killed him.
Ye Qiancheng's face under the mask was constantly changing, and his mind tried to string this information together.
After a while, Ye Qiancheng temporarily suppressed the many doubts in his heart, looked at Gu Bai and said, "You told me so much, what is the purpose?"
Gu Bai clasped his hands together, pronounced a Buddha call, and said: "The poor monk thought that he would be able to let go of the hatred of the year after eating fasting and reciting the Buddha for many years, but the poor monk understood that the hatred of the poor monk back then could not be let go. ”
Speaking of this, he looked at Ye Qiancheng, who was gradually on guard, and said with a smile: "Master Ye don't need to be nervous, with the current state of the poor monk, he can't pose the slightest threat to you." ”
Seeing that Ye Qiancheng didn't seem to believe it, Gu Bai reached out and lifted the hem of his robe. The scene he saw made Ye Qiancheng raise his eyebrows, and he more or less believed some of Gu Bai's words in his heart.
Because there was nothing in the robe that was lifted, Gu Bai's legs had already been amputated from the roots, no wonder he said that he wanted revenge and was powerless!
"What do you want?" Ye Qiancheng didn't believe that Gu Bai would ask for nothing else if he gave him so much information.
Looking at Ye Qiancheng, Gu Bai smiled: "I have a secret method that can transfer all my current cultivation to you, and you, you just need to do what you want in your heart." ”
Ye Qiancheng almost thought that he had heard it wrong, the Ye family had destroyed Gu Baimanmen, and now Gu Bai still had to find a way to improve the cultivation of the Ye family's disciples?
Gu Bai seemed to see what Ye Qiancheng was thinking, smiled, and said, "Ye Qiancheng, I know what you think. But I can tell you very clearly that I hate the Ye family, and giving you such benefits is naturally not a brain problem. ”
Gu Bai doesn't call himself a poor monk now, but it makes Ye Qiancheng listen to it much more pleasantly.
"I'll just ask you a question, do you hate the Ye family?" Gu Bai's eyes at this time seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, staring straight at Ye Qiancheng, making Ye Qiancheng subconsciously begin to avoid his gaze for the first time.
Do you hate the Ye family?
In fact, since the death of his mother, the Ye family has ignored themselves all these years, allowing others to bully them, and even not having enough to eat, Ye Qiancheng doesn't care about these.
What he really cares about is why no one stood up to help his mother when he was forced to a dead end?
Why are they all blood relatives of the same race but they all watch their mothers struggle and suffer alone, but no one reaches out to help?
Why is it that after so many years, no one has looked for the mastermind behind the persecution of his mother, as if it was none of his business?
Do you hate the Ye family?
It wasn't until this moment that Ye Qiancheng understood how much pressure his mother was under back then, and finally had to compromise with the person behind it, exchanging her life for Ye Qiancheng's safety over the years!
Anger burned in his chest, Ye Qiancheng hated the Ye family, hated his own incompetence, and hated his unknown father, why he abandoned himself and his mother back then.
"How can I get your cultivation?" Ye Qiancheng looked at Gu Bai and said word by word.
Gu Bai smiled again, smiling happily than ever, because he saw what he wanted to see most from Ye Qiancheng's eyes.
Hatred!
