Chapter 199: A Song of Sorrow
Compared with the fear of the beard, Zhao Rang is even more incredible.
He looked at himself as he had the knife, and the hand holding it.
I don't understand why Fang Cai burst out with such extreme power at that moment.
"Is it 'potential' again?"
Knife unintentionally automatic.
At the moment of the knife, Zhao Rang's spirit was ethereal, as if he had a dream that he couldn't remember.
In the past, when Zhao Rang triggered the mysterious artistic conception of "potential", he still had a very clear memory.
I can remember the sky, the feel of the handle, and the smell of the air.
It's the first time I've been completely empty like this.
Looking at the beard curled up in the corner, Zhao Rang couldn't help but walk towards him.
Seeing Zhao Rang's figure getting closer and closer, the beard wanted to support him to get up, but the severe pain on his body made him unable to move a bit.
Finally, Zhao Rang stood in front of him.
The beard looked up at Zhao Rang, like looking at a majestic pagoda.
Zhao Rang's eyes were focused on his palm.
It was from his palm prints that he saw the dilapidated temple, the falling Buddha's head, and the blood-stained monk's robes.
"That person, isn't that you?"
Zhao Rang asked.
The beard was a little confused by his question.
Now it's just the two of them, where did that person come from?" ”
After Zhao Rang asked, he also felt that he had taken it for granted...... What he can see, the beard can't necessarily see.
"What the hell happened to Hachioji?"
Zhao Rang asked a different question.
The beard in front of him is definitely one of the witnesses of that catastrophe.
As the temple that once flourished in Buddhism, it fell apart between day and night and turned into scorched earth, which has become the biggest secret in the north of Dawei.
What is even more unexpected is that after such a big turmoil, the Investigation Division has always been silent and has not taken any action, which makes the cause and effect behind this even more intriguing.
Hearing the three words of Hachioji, the fear in the bearded eyes gradually dissipated.
But he didn't answer Zhao Rang's question.
"Can I trouble you with something?"
After a long time, the beard returned from his memories and whispered to Zhao Rang.
His breath was already very weak and unstable, and uttering a complete sentence would consume almost all of his energy.
"As long as it's not too much of a hassle."
Tonight, everyone is negotiating conditions with Zhao Rang.
The bearded man asked for help, but he just changed the terms of the negotiation, and in the final analysis, it was all the same.
"After you kill me, can you burn me clean with a fire?"
Zhao Rang didn't immediately agree.
This request, while not cumbersome, is strange.
Even if a normal person wants to die, he wants to keep a whole corpse, so that he can be reincarnated in the future.
However, Zhao Rang did hear that after the monk died, it seemed that he would be cremated. Many monks will also leave relics in their bodies, and the stupas in the temples are lined up to worship the existence of these relics.
But whether Luo Huhu is still a monk or not, Zhao Rang can't tell the difference.
He is in cahoots with the Admiralty Dart Bureau, even if he is a monk, he must not cultivate good results in his life, and only loves to kill people and set fires.
"I didn't mean to kill you."
Zhao Rang said.
He came to the town store for only one purpose - to find out what was in the 188 boxes shipped by the Admiralty Dart Bureau.
Later, the woman told Zhao Rang the answer, but was stopped by his beard.
Drawing a knife is a last resort.
can beat him, Zhao didn't expect it.
"If you don't kill me, I'll kill myself. Anyway, can you do me a favor? ”
Beard pleaded again.
Without waiting for Zhao Rang to answer, the beard continued:
"In return, I can tell you what you are asking for to be surprised."
Hearing him say this, Zhao Rangcai nodded and agreed to this matter.
"I don't care about Hachioji Temple, and I don't care about you, I just want to figure out two things."
"First, what were in those boxes, who ordered them, and why did the Admiralty Dart Bureau ship it at this juncture. Second, what's wrong with my body...... Why do you see it through your palm prints...... When you see those things, why do you involuntarily go out with a knife, and you can also break your golden bell jar. ”
The two questions are not complicated, and they are all in the first place.
He adjusted his posture, leaned his body against the broken courtyard wall completely, tilted his head back to the pillow, and said faintly:
"There are people in the box, and in every box, there is a person."
"Feather Coat, but I haven't seen this person."
"The time is also set by her, and I am only responsible for delivery."
The first question is answered.
There is no longer a word in the beard.
Zhao Rang pieced together what he said in his mind and found that the woman had not lied to him. The car was indeed filled with people, and it was directly related to the feather coat.
Just as he was about to answer the second question, he suddenly tilted his neck, and a stream of black blood gushed out from the corner of his mouth.
"What's wrong with you?"
Zhao Rang asked with concern, and was about to step forward, when he was suddenly stopped by a clear voice.
"Don't touch it, it's poisonous!"
What stopped Zhao Rang was the woman who had previously negotiated three conditions with Zhao Rang.
"Why did you kill him?"
Zhao Rang asked angrily.
Of the two questions just now, Zhao Rang actually cared more about the second one.
After all, the first question is about Baihe Mountain, and the second is closely related to himself.
After hearing what Uncle Shi said, and after the strange changes just now, Zhao Rang was very eager to figure out what was going on.
"He didn't live long either."
The woman said nonchalantly.
In her eyes, a human life is less than a worm.
"Even if he's going to die, he can die after answering my second question."
"Now who do you want me to ask? Could it be that you can answer? ”
The woman smiled flirtatiously and said:
"I can't answer, I don't even understand what your second question means."
"Then why did you kill him?"
Zhao Rang asked rhetorically.
"I think."
Kill, just because you want to.
Zhao Rang had nothing to say, looking at the bearded corpse, ready to finish what he had promised him to help before.
"You don't want to live anymore?"
As soon as Zhao Ranggang moved, the woman's voice came again.
"It doesn't seem to have anything to do with you, does it?"
Although the woman told him the truth, it didn't make Zhao Rang feel any more good about her.
"Of course it does!"
The woman said, and at the same time blocked in front of Zhao Rang.
"The poison of the yin wind in his body, if it is burned by fire, and then the wind blows, not to mention this town store, even half of the White Crane Mountain will have to die!"
Zhao Rang didn't know if there was an exaggeration in her words, but he had given up his previous plan.
"Isn't everyone else dead?"
Zhao Rang asked lightly.
The woman didn't answer, but walked over to the cart parked in the backyard and opened the wooden box on it.
These boxes have air holes on both sides.
All of the people inside were given a secret medicine called turtle breathing, which can make people fall into a deep sleep like a turtle hibernating, and minimize breathing and heartbeat.
If you don't look closely, it's almost like a dead man.
The man in the box is still alive.
Zhao Rang said that those who were all dead were the dart masters and executioners of the Admiralty Dart Bureau who came with the beard.
"They're dressed weirdly."
Zhao Rang approached, glanced into the box, and found that the clothes worn by these people, both men and women, were very bright, like peacocks with the screen open.
He wore hand-woven straw sandals on his feet, and a palm-wide coarse cloth bag tied around his waist, which seemed to contain a lot of things, and looked bulging.
"Do all the Southlanders dress like this?"
Zhao Rang asked.
He had never been to the Southlands.
but these men came from the south.
So he rightly assumed that all the people of the Southland were like that.
"Wear a showy show, neither male nor female."
Zhao Rang added another sentence, but was met with the woman's vicious eyes.
She said to Zhao Rang word by word:
"They are my people."
Zhao Rang took a deep breath and said:
"The Tang family in Shuzhong in the south?"
The woman did not nod or shake her head, but said softly:
"Tang family, Tang Wanqing."
It's her name.
Providence is merciful to the grass, and the world is sunny at night. I have to say, this is a very beautiful name, and it is very suitable for beautiful women.
But it doesn't suit her at all!
Because she didn't have the warmth of Wanqing, some of them were all cold without blinking.
"What are you going to do? Kill them all? ”
Zhao Rang's tone was a little ridiculous.
After saying that, he realized that something was wrong.
It's not that he said it wrong, but that he found that he had become just like that woman, and he had become indifferent to life......
This is not a good thing, Zhao Rang felt that he had to stay away from this woman, even if he had agreed to those three conditions in his heart.
"I only kill the damned, they don't deserve to die, they just shouldn't come!"
The woman removed all the belts from the chest, then re-closed the box, and stabbed the horse pulling the cart in the butt.
The horse was startled, neighed, and then spread its hooves, pulled the cart, and galloped away along the ruts from which it had come.
After driving away the cart in the backyard of the inn, the woman came to several other courtyards where the cart was parked.
Zhao Rang watched quietly from behind, until the last big car left, the woman held a full wide cloth belt, turned her head and said to Zhao Rang:
"Old horses know their way, and they can walk back on their own. However, it is estimated that halfway through, the people in the alley will wake up. ”
The effect of the turtle's breath is almost over after the ascent of the mountain tomorrow.
Zhao Rang couldn't understand the logic of women.
For damned people, there is no hesitation to move your hands.
For those who shouldn't come, just send them away.
"What are you staring at me for?"
The woman asked.
Zhao Rang opened his mouth, but said nothing.
"Are you trying to ask me which side I am?"
Zhao Rang nodded.
He became less and less sure what the woman was trying to do.
obviously has the ultimate ability to poison and can kill people invisibly, why do you have to negotiate terms with yourself?
Zhao Rang didn't feel that his knife was as poisonous as her Yin Feng, and it was even far inferior to ......
"I'm not on either side, I'm only on my own side!"
A woman's words are always decisive.
Zhao Rang can neither say that she is right nor that she is wrong.
But every time she spoke, it was like a big steamed bun, choking him to death.
In addition to being unable to refute, it is impossible to even ask questions.
"These belts are full of poison?"
Since those people are all members of the Tang family, what is contained in the belt is naturally poison.
This is the capital of their Tang family to settle down, and it is also the reliance on walking the rivers and lakes.
"There is poison, and there is an antidote."
The woman said nonchalantly.
Zhao Rang's heart moved, but he was soon splashed with cold water by the woman.
"There is no antidote to the poison of the yin wind, this antidote is only in the feather coat."
"Your own poison, you yourself have no antidote?"
The woman smiled.
The smile was mixed with loneliness and misery.
"So I just want to be on my side."
Zhao Rang nodded.
Although he didn't know what was going on between the woman and the family, he was sympathetic to what happened to the woman.
She has no antidote to her own poison, which means that she will also be poisoned by her own poison!
And if you want to break all this, you have to get the antidote.
The premise of the antidote is the life of the feather coat.
Now Zhao Rang suddenly figured out why the woman asked him to kill Yuyi.
No matter how powerful the poison of the yin wind is, it can't poison the person holding the antidote.
"I heard that your Tang family never came out, why did you send one hundred and eighty-eight people to the north this time?"
On the way back to the mountain, Zhao Rang kept asking questions.
But as long as it involves the Tang family's issues, the women all keep their mouths shut.
"Aren't you on your side?"
In the end, Zhao Rang lost his patience and asked bluntly.
The woman stopped and replied:
"Just because I'm on my side doesn't mean I'm going to betray them."
Another answer that made Zhao Rang silent.
After that, the two did not communicate again, so they walked one after the other, on the way up the mountain.
The sky is about to break, and the east has already revealed a touch of fish belly white.
Zhao Rang subconsciously quickened his pace, wanting to return to his residence before daylight.
Before leaving, he and Qingqing had already agreed that they would definitely come back before dawn.
He was worried that if Qingqing didn't see him, maybe he would make a big fuss on the mountain, and he wouldn't be able to explain it to anyone at that time...... Zhao Rang still respects her from the bottom of his heart.
But as soon as he walked for a while, he saw that he had distanced himself from the woman, and had to stop and wait.
"Can you go faster?"
Zhao Rang urged.
The woman glanced at him, simply stopped, and replied:
"No one cares, why are you going so fast?"
Then the conversation changed and continued:
"You go first."
The woman didn't tell Zhao where she was going.
With the belt in her arms, she left the main road and went straight into the forest.
Soon, the back and footsteps were gone.
Zhao Rang, who watched this scene, was in a trance...... I actually feel that everything in front of me is very unreal!
When he stood at the gate of the courtyard, it was already dawn.
There were already Taoist priests coming out of the house and fetching water to wash.
As soon as Zhao Rang walked into the courtyard, the door facing him opened.
After only one night's work, Qingqing suddenly became much haggard.
The whole person is as thin as paper, more like catkins and frivolous.
"Coming back?"
Even so, at the moment when she saw Zhao Rang, Qingqing still forcibly cheered up, and said as softly as possible in her already hoarse voice.
"It's back!"
Zhao Rang's heart tightened, and he replied very lovingly.
