"I said I didn't let him escape, did the monk believe it?" The old man smiled silently, and looked at the monk's eyes with frank eyes.

The old adage frowned, and his instinct told him that he should know something, if he didn't do it.

"Does the donor know what just happened?"

The old man shook his head weakly, exhaled a long breath, and said something irrelevant.

"My cheap life was saved by two nobles."

"The first time was when I was still a servant in the royal city, when the fish country was not a fish country, but a southern barbarian country; Mrs. Hui is not Mrs. Hui yet, but the most noble eldest princess of the Southern Barbarian Kingdom. At that time, I was only sixteen years old, and I did not know the magnates when I entered the palace, and I had no intention of offending the favorite concubine of the former king, and when I was about to be beaten to death by her, it was the young eldest princess who saved me, and let me serve under her. At that time, I swore that I would swear allegiance to the eldest princess for the rest of my life. ”

Recalling the past, he seemed to recall the passion of the beginning, and for a moment his eyes flashed like stars, but in an instant, hatred spread over his thin face, and even his voice became gritted teeth.

"Five years ago, the pro-army rebel sat on the throne, and he was originally just a ruffian and hooligan, and he forcibly took possession of the eldest princess to demonstrate to the world! The remnants of the former dynasty fled to the south and started a new business, also known as the Southern Barbarian State, and the original Southern Barbarian State was changed to the Fish State. ”

"The eldest princess was merciful and didn't want her people to suffer with her, so she begged for favor and gave us some money to send us out of the royal capital."

Gu Yu listened quietly to his memories and did not interrupt him soundly.

The old man paused when he said this, as if he was digesting the anger in his heart, even after so many years, he still couldn't forget the feeling of incompetence at that time.

After a while, his bony hand was raised, and he pointed to the chaotic qi in front of him, "This second noble person is the owner of the tomb of sin, and the mysterious woman in the tomb. ”

"Back then, I was unwilling to let the eldest princess endure the insult of that beast all her life, and united with the descendants of the royal family of the first dynasty everywhere, hoping to overthrow the rule of the beast again and rescue the eldest princess, but who knew that it was discovered by his people, and I was hunted down to this wood, and when I was dying, I entered the tomb of sin."

"She brought me back to life with only one breath left, told me how to enter the tomb of sin, and even let me return to the royal capital and guard the eldest princess's side. It's just that the side effect of rebirth is that I have become old, and at the age of twenty-four, I have a body that has stepped into a coffin, so I don't dare to recognize the eldest princess, so I only silently guard her side and protect her safety. ”

"But God can't even grant me this little wish!"

A cloudy tear slid down the furrow on his face, and the old man held his head with both hands, his voice choked, and it was difficult to hide his sadness.

"Just because the eldest princess took one more look at her concubine, the fox killed her! How cruel! How unreasonable! She obviously didn't do anything, she just liked him silently, why didn't God have mercy on this hard-working woman...... If I hadn't entered the tomb of sin, if I had stayed with her, wouldn't she have died......"

He buried his head in his knees and let out a staccato whimper.

As the old saying goes, put your hands together, call the Buddha again and again in your mouth, and silently overdo it for this quietly dead princess.

It wasn't until the old man stopped crying that the old saying spoke again: "How about the poor monk help you understand this cause and effect?" ”

However, after waiting for a long time, there was no response.

He stepped forward and reached out to grasp the old man's wrist, but only a handful of ash was clutched.

It turned out that the old man had long since died, and all that was left was his body that had been corrupted into ashes, and a gust of wind blew him towards the royal capital, and on the girl he had missed all his life.

Gu Yu looked at the remaining ashes in his hand expressionlessly, and finally put it into a small jar with a simple shape, held it in his hand, and walked towards the royal capital.

The moment the old man died, the sound of the mission being completed came to his head, and he couldn't figure out what drove him to do so, as for the later torture and murder of the fish king, the bloodbath of the court, or the discovery of Mrs. Hui in the suburbs who had been eaten by wild dogs and the burial of her and the old man.

His task is to cut off the old man's cause and effect, the old man is dead, the cause and effect are self-determined, it stands to reason that he doesn't need to do anything more, if he knows that the old man is dead at the beginning can complete the task, I believe that he will not hesitate to end his life with his own hands, and will never waste a little more time on cutting off cause and effect.

Is it sympathy for what they are going through? No, when I listened to his story, I knew no fluctuations in my heart.

I couldn't understand that he decided not to think about it, and his heart moved, and he disappeared in front of the grave.

As for the Witch Saintess and her entourage, they had already moved on to the next level after the mutation.

Once you've completed the quest, you'll have the option to go to the next floor immediately, but if you don't, you'll only have one day to stay, and you'll be forcibly transported to the next floor when the time is up.

Fang Chi, who was thought to have died in the chaotic qi, suddenly woke up on an old train at this time.

She took a deep breath, trying to calm her confused brain, but her lungs were choked by the second-hand smoke wafting from the opposite side.

"Are you alright? Little girl. ”

The middle-aged woman sitting next to her left, dressed in a burlap gown full of pudding, held a three-year-old boy with a runny nose in her arms, and was watching her with concern at the sound of her cough.

Fang Chi coughed a few more times, held his nose and replied, "It's okay, it's okay." ”

She is not particularly sensitive to the smell of smoke, but she has just inhaled too hard, and it is difficult to react to her brain for a while to cough so badly.

Fang Chi, who calmed down, noticed the environment he was in:

She sat in a corner of the carriage, and the seat faced the interior of the carriage, so that the situation in the carriage was exposed to her eyes at a glance.

The decoration of this carriage is similar to that of the green train on the earth, and I don't know if it is in time for the festival, the carriage is so crowded that there are people sitting and dozing under their feet.

On the right-hand side is the aisle, and behind it is the place where the two carriages are connected, and there is a loud clanging sound.

On the left hand side was the kind woman, the child in her arms was looking at her with her fingers tilted around her dirty cloth bag.

The couple sitting opposite looked like a husband and wife, the man who finished smoking had a mouthful of old phlegm in his throat, and he snorted from time to time, the young woman next to him was dressed in gaudy clothes, and the fat powder on her face was thicker than the skin of the wall.

The man called Brother Qiang was dressed like an upstart, with a thumb-thick gold chain hanging on his fat neck, and his two hands were covered with gold rings and bracelets, which stunned Fang Chi, who had never been short of money since he was a child.

With such a swagger, aren't you afraid of being picked up by thieves?

But she soon understood why people dared to wear gold chains on trains.
