Volume 1 Oriental Names Chapter 55 Ghosts
The thin old man refuted the stinky thin young man unwillingly, and then he didn't know what he thought of, and he was suddenly silent for a while, and then he continued to speak with a sigh of dismay.
"Lao Tzu estimated that you stinky boy would be unable to resist it for a few more days, but he didn't expect to be rescued by this group of passers-by who came out of nowhere. ”
The thin boy smiled and said, "I really have to thank this guy, otherwise this son would really be unable to stay up! Fortunately, there is fat to hold on for a while, and there is nothing to consume in the future." ”
"Humph!"
The thin old man snorted coldly and said, "Lao Tzu spent all his savings to disguise you as a young owner of the caravan, and he accompanied you in prison for a month, but I didn't expect it to fall short." Lao Tzu really wants to kill these nosy people. ”
The thin young man lay lazily on the dining table, and said weakly: "Those people are extraordinary, at first glance, they are not ordinary caravans, if you really want to provoke others, you can go by yourself, but don't bother me!"
The thin old man's gaze narrowed slightly, and he judged from the sudden change of self-proclaimed judgment of the thin boy, and the thin boy was still a little touched by his words.
The thin old man stared at the thin young man for a while, and suddenly said in a gloomy and terrifying tone: "If Lao Tzu really went to kill those nosy people, would you kill me?"
The thin young man's body trembled slightly, and his eyes instantly became fierce in an angle that the thin old man could not see. He exhaled slightly and calmed down, and said lightly, "What do you think?"
The thin old man was staring at the thin boy's movements the whole time, and a hint of thought flashed in his eyes after hearing the thin boy's answer. He was about to say something more, but the owner of the restaurant had already brought two bowls of clear soup noodles.
The old man and the young were immediately attracted by the noodles, and they couldn't wait to take the noodle bowl from the noodle shop owner and eat it with a wolf.
The noodle shop owner saw that the two looked like starving ghosts and reincarnated, and finally knew why there were only two of them who ordered twenty bowls of noodles.
The noodle shop owner saw that the thin boy's noodle bowl was halfway down in a blink of an eye, and hurriedly ran to the back kitchen. When he brought out two more bowls of noodles, the bowls of the thin young man and the thin old man were empty.
Two bowls, four bowls, six bowls......
The noodle shop owner was busy between the kitchen and the dining table quickly, and he couldn't keep up with the old and young people as long as he slowed down a little.
After eating five or six bowls of soup and noodles in one go, the thin boy felt less hungry, and he breathed a sigh of relief, chewing the noodles in his mouth while opening his mouth indistinctly.
"Where are we going after this meal?"
The thin old man glanced at the thin young man angrily, put down the bowl and swallowed the noodles in his mouth, and then spoke slowly.
"Look at your nervousness, forcing you to kill me to break the killing ring is the last resort, and the old man will not do this step in five years. ”
Speaking of this, the thin old man changed his words. "However, if you haven't been able to open the killing ring and start the real cultivation after five years, the old man won't mind taking this last step!"
The thin boy drank the noodle soup in the bowl in one gulp, and instead of gobbling it up like before, he recalled the past when he met the thin old man.
......
The boy weighed two hundred pounds before, and he was the son of a high-ranking official at that time.
When he was ten years old, the boy's father was beheaded by the prince on the street for offending the prince of the dynasty, and the boy and all his family members were imprisoned and waited for the autumn queen to be beheaded.
The day before the beheading, the boy disappeared from the prison unconsciously, and an old man who traveled the world had a chubby little heel.
Not long after the young man followed the old man, he found that the old man was very eccentric.
The old man never sleeps, and he never stays too much in any place for no reason, even eating only one meal in ten days and half a month. The old man spends ninety percent of his time on the road, or in other words, wandering around the world, like a ghost.
Kill the people who should be killed, and it will be a peaceful thing!
This is the first sentence that the old man taught to the young man, and it is also the principle that the old man's sect passed down thousands of years ago. The old man wanders in the world, looking for people who should be killed and injustices.
The old man told the boy that he had been severely wounded by his old enemy and that he was dying, so he hoped that the boy would inherit his mantle and become a new ghost in the world, and let the boy become strong and kill his old enemy.
The young man naturally refused, and he naturally couldn't stand such suffering. But after being knocked out of ten teeth by the old man, he still gladly accepted this "glorious" mission and became the old man's apprentice.
To practice the old man's exercises, the young man must first kill people with his own hands!
However, the boy did not dare or want to kill.
So, the old man began to use various methods to lure the young man to kill himself, either openly or covertly.
was violently beaten by gangsters, arrested as a murderer by the official and ready to be beheaded, the borrowed house was brutally killed by bandits, the girl I just met was bullied by hooligans, and met a bully who bullied the weak......
or the drama arranged by the old man, or the real incident encountered by chance, even if the young man encounters this kind of thing, no matter how aggrieved and angry he is, he will not kill anyone after all. Although he was born in a corrupt family of eunuchs, his heart is particularly pure.
The stronger the physical fitness of the teenager under the training of the old man, the more instinctively the teenager controls himself and does not use his own strength, and even prefers to be beaten or even killed rather than use his own strength.
It's been a few years!
......
The young man pressed the memories of the past back to the bottom of his heart, looked at the old man whose hair had turned gray, and sighed with a slightly lonely expression.
"Old man, why do you bother?"
The old man put down the bowl, and was infected by the young man's emotions, and there was obvious sadness in his expression.
"The old man only has five years left to live, if you can't learn the follow-up exercises from the old man after opening the killing ring within five years, not only will our lineage be broken, but you will not have the opportunity to help me kill the enemy in this life. And if you are approached by the enemy, where will you get the energy to protect yourself?"
The young man listened to the old man's heartfelt emotion, but he didn't show it, but deliberately pouted and muttered disdainfully.
"I'm afraid you're not a liar! You go to the street and ask, see who has heard of the exercises that require killing people to really get started? Moreover, you didn't hesitate to let me kill you for the sake of the master's exercises...... Hmph, it seems to me that you are not a liar, but a madman!"
The old man ignored the thin boy's deliberate muttering of the question, and continued to gobble down the noodles. His expression was extremely intoxicated, as if this clear soup with little water was a delicacy in the world.
Seeing that the old man didn't mean to answer his question at all, the young man couldn't help but roll his eyes, took a bowl of clear soup noodles brought by the noodle shop owner and started eating.
Fourteen bowls, sixteen bowls, eighteen bowls......
Two people, one old and one young, who were as thin as firewood, actually ate twenty-three bowls of noodles in one go. The old man ate ten bowls, while the young man ate thirteen bowls.
But the miraculous thing is that even though these two people ate food several times the usual, their stomachs did not even have a noticeable bulge. It's as if the stomachs of the two of them are a bottomless pit that will never be filled.
The two did not ask the owner of the noodle shop to recover the overpaid money, and walked out of the noodle shop with an exaggerated step with an unprotruding belly.
The two of them came to the street where Murong Ye stayed at the inn one after the other, and the old man walked in the direction outside the town first, and the young man breathed a sigh of relief and walked a few steps quickly to follow, walking side by side with the old man.
"Old man, who do you say those people are? Although they carry more than a dozen cartloads of goods, they don't look like ordinary caravans. ”
"Stinky boy, you can even see that they are official soldiers, and their eyesight has really not improved!"
After being counted down by the old man, the young man was a little annoyed and angry, and hurriedly argued.
"Dead old man, of course the master can see that they are soldiers. What I'm asking is, by the standards of our sect, are they people who should be killed or passers-by?"
The old man glanced at the young man lightly, and responded with no saltiness or lightness.
"The soldiers kill a lot, but they all fight for the royal family and the people. Unless innocent people are killed indiscriminately, the killing cannot be counted against them. Although these people are extremely murderous, they are not people who should be killed. ”
Hearing the old man's words, the young man secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although without the help of Murong Ye and the others, his life would still not be in danger, but he was still very grateful to Murong Ye and the others for rescuing him and breaking the old man's plan.
The old man didn't say a word, and gradually drifted away. The boy was silent for a while, and couldn't help but speak again.
"Dead old man, you haven't said where we're going?"
"What difference does it make for us where to go?"
"Master I want to ask you how you plan to calculate me next. ”
“......”
The old man stopped talking, and made a detour to the bronze horse statue that was erected in the center of the town. He looked at the bronze horse statue with deep and thoughtful eyes.
The young man followed the old man's gaze and carefully looked at the bronze horse statue, but he was a little confused. He remembered that he had seen the old man have seen such an expression on his face several times in the past few years.
The old man looked at the statue of the White Eagle in front of the south gate of the palace of the White Eagle Empire, the direction of the palace of the Eastern Empire, a broken sword hanging on the gate of the Dawn Empire, several extremely fierce beasts in the Beiling Mountain Range, a large stone washed by a waterfall, and a small tree on the top of a certain mountain......
The boy has a good memory, so he wrote down the scenes where the old man showed special emotions. But every time he thought about it, he couldn't understand why the old man had such a strange expression when he looked at these things.
After a while, the old man came back to his senses and walked towards the dark and terrifying field outside the town, and the young man followed with a question mark on his head.
It was getting late at this time, but the two had no intention of staying in Tongma Town. The old man took the young man and broke into the night alone.
The ghost who had been resting for a short time finally set off again, wandering between heaven and earth again to find it!
I don't know how many people who should be killed have quietly lost their lives, and I don't know how many people who have suffered will usher in hope!
Ghosts hide in the shadows, killing to save the world.
They are unsung heroes who save the suffering, no one cares about them, and no one knows what they have done!
If you want to find them, listen to them!
Where there is a cry of pain, there is a figure of them.
Murong Ye passed by these two unique beings like this, intersecting but not communicating. The road of life intersects, but they parted ways in an instant!
Maybe Murong Ye and them will meet again one day, but I can't say that it will be the same passing again!
