Chapter 17: Three Lives of the Great Dream (3)
The Buddha said: "There are eight sufferings in life, birth, old age, sickness, death, resentment, love and separation, unwantedness, and five yin flourishing." "I would like to look at the red dust with an innocent heart and welcome the thousands of changes.
For as long as I can remember, I have had no father, no mother, no relatives and friends, and I have been alone in the world. I don't know where I've come from, I don't know where I'm going, maybe I'm walking this way in the world just to regain my original memories and understand what I'm living for.
I've been hunted down by a lot of people, and it probably has something to do with my past. I thought about asking them about my past, but they were always silent and bent on killing me, and I think I used to be heinous and hateful, which attracted so many enemies.
But now I haven't done anything bad, and sometimes I even send kindness to help some weak children and lonely old people, who don't know who I am, and are always full of gratitude for my efforts. I think it's for the sake of repaying my debts, which I used to be heinous about.
After more than a dozen assassinations, I came to the conclusion that my martial arts ———— not bad, which is why I have survived to this day. I've also thought about dying a hundred, but I was killed without finding my past memories, and I'm a little unwilling to think about it, so I'd better get my memories back and be killed.
I went to the market and bought a maroon sweat and blood horse, although it cost me a lot of silver, but fortunately it is rare and spiritual, I don't lose it, I named it butt, because every time it is angry, it likes to put its butt at me, and when I meet such a proud horse, as the owner, I really have no temper.
Butt took me to many places, the desert with the magnificent scenery of the sunset, the endless green grassland, the deserted and cold borderland, and the bustling and lively cities one after another. This was once the place I longed for, but I didn't discover anything about the past.
Last night, the night was thin and cold, and I was living in a small inn in the suburbs, and I was assassinated again. I didn't want to disturb the shopkeepers, after all, it was not easy to open in the wilderness, so I let the butt take me deeper into the woods to solve them.
They are all masked, their martial arts are good, and they even have the blessing of hidden weapons and poisons, it took me a lot of time and effort to solve them one by one, and my left arm was scratched by a hidden weapon, and my ass took me to the medical hall in the city in an instant. Maybe it also feels a little sorry for me, after all, every time I go to an inn to rest, I ask the store to prepare enough high-quality horse grass for it.
Doctor Guo in the city is my old acquaintance, and there are only two old acquaintances who can be called me as a person who has no past, and one is him. A few years ago, I suffered a large-scale assassination, nine deaths, and spent three days in a coma in a wild mountain, and was picked up by him who went up the mountain to collect medicine, thus saving a life. Old man Guo had a good heart, saying that I should not die, and he didn't take much money from me, only saying that he had done good deeds and accumulated virtues. I didn't force it to be repaid, but I remembered his kindness in my heart, and after walking for a while, I remembered to come back to accompany him for a while, and go up the mountain to pick some herbs on his behalf. Old man Guo is also alone, I heard that his wife and children were killed by a group of robbers ten years ago, but fortunately, by coincidence, a hero avenged him and slaughtered a whole mountain of robbers, and he had no complaints. For more than ten years, he was the only one who stayed in this small hospital to spend the rest of his life.
The cut on my right arm was so deep that I had seen my bones, and the weapon was coated with poison. The masked man who had scratched me was fighting his last breath and slashed me from behind while I was focusing on the other masked men, and my entire right arm quickly turned dark blue to the naked eye.
Butt brought me to Old Man Guo, I was already half unconscious, half delirious, just trying to stay awake, to be honest, I was afraid that this stupid horse would take me to someone else's place and cause panic among the people. At Old Man Guo's place, he had just returned from collecting medicine, and when he saw that I was injured again, he hurriedly helped me down from his horse and took me to the bed in his inner room to lie down. Then he went out and closed the door outside the clinic and suspended the consultation.
I don't know what kind of poison I was in, but I kept having a high fever and often fell asleep and woke up for a while. In a daze, I seemed to see Old Man Guo hunched over and talking to a man, the man was facing me sideways, and I saw a deep scar on his face, which looked a little terrifying. He kept talking to Old Man Guo about something, but he seemed to sense something, and looked at me without warning, I didn't have time to react for a while, and it took half a beat to close my eyes in a panic, but I seemed to feel that he had been looking at me. When I opened my eyes again, I could only see his back, a tall figure in a dark robe.
I don't know what magic herb Old Man Guo used, and I don't know if the man provided any help, but after a few days, I came to my senses, and the fever had subsided, but my right arm was still in pain. Old man Guo said that it will take 100 days to break my muscles and bones, so that I can live well. Fortunately, I can also use chopsticks to make a sword with my left hand, so I don't delay eating and killing.
I asked the old man about the man, but the old man pretended to be stupid with me and didn't say why. I couldn't find out anything from him, I had to find out for myself, along with the memories of my past that I had forgotten for many years, and perhaps the man was also a part of my memory.
I went to the outskirts of the city to find a crazy woman. Everyone calls her that, but in fact, she is not crazy, nor is she a mother-in-law, but she is almost in her twenties, but she often talks and dresses extremely old, so the crazy woman is called out like this. I have two old acquaintances like me who have no past, one is Old Man Guo, and the other is her. Old man Guo is the benefactor who saved my life, and she is the person I saved my life.
The relationship network behind the crazy woman is very complicated, and he can speak to the beggars and gangsters all over the country. On that day, she was hunted down and killed by several elders of the Right Alliance of the Beggar Gang, and she belonged to the Left Alliance. Later, the Left League came to power, and she lived smoothly.
I asked her to help me find out about the past, but because I didn't have any knowledge of the past, she couldn't find out. But this time I had an insertion point and asked her to help me find out the man's identity. I had a hunch that that man definitely had something to do with my past.
The crazy woman is very reliable, and within a few days she brought me the news, which made me once again impressed by the powerful network behind her. The information she gave me said that the man was the young master of the Demon Sect, Nan Qing, and his father Nan Qing was the great enemy of the entire Central Plains, and I think I finally knew why I was assassinated so much. I guess I can't get rid of the Demon Cult.
It's not that I haven't checked on the Demon Sect's side, after all, I've always defined my past as a heinous person, and I know that it may have something to do with the Demon Sect, and I have also sneaked into the Demon Sect to investigate, but there are no clues related to my past. The madwoman gave me the man, the place where Nan Yu frequented, and I was going to go there and wait for the rabbit.
One of the places he frequented was called Lanyue Tower. I waited for him for a long time in that disguised as a man. To my surprise, he didn't pretend not to know me when he saw me, but recognized me at a glance. He smiled ambiguously at me, and I was a little stunned, leaving aside the scar on the side of his face, he was extremely good-looking. But his inexplicable smile was so incomprehensible that I couldn't react a little. I guess I haven't had access to a single memory of the past for years, and this man must have contributed to it.
He was so careful not to let me know the past, and now he broke into my field of vision without concealment, and smiled at me defiantly, how ...... Uncle can bear it, and aunt can't bear it.
I followed him to a dense forest, and he turned to face me, and I was so startled that I almost couldn't stand on my feet, and he grabbed me and asked, "So you want to go back with me?"
I nodded, unabashedly. I want to know about my past.
He sighed lowly and said helplessly, "I originally wanted you to live like this, no matter where you go, I can protect you." Those little ones, with the kung fu I taught you, are enough to deal with. And you're curious, you can't run away anymore. ”
I knew that I was a bird trapped in a cage and unsavory, and they were well protected. But I was not satisfied with this, and when I fled, I was assassinated, and I fell into a coma on the wild mountain where Old Man Guo saved me, and I have lost my memory since then.
I knew that what I hated was not how simple and kind he said he was, pure and immaculate. I hated my birth, I hated everything I had, and even the father and mother who gave birth to me and raised me. I didn't like to be called a witch, so I ran away from this ugly place that I hated.
I knew that my name was Nanyin. And he was an orphan adopted by my father, my brother.
I finally returned to the place I had wanted to escape, the Heavenly Hidden Cliff, the stronghold of the Demon Cult. There are many believers in Tianyin Cliff, there are more than 5,000 disciples, and my father has long thought about passing on Tianyin Cliff to my brother, so that he can promise to protect me for the rest of my life. He didn't protect my mother more than 10 years ago, which is why I ran away at that time.
Not long after I returned, there was a bloody storm in the martial arts. The abbot of Shaolin Temple Huisheng, the master of Mount Emei, and the heads of the three factions of Hengshan, Huashan and Maoshan died strangely and violently. Soon after, his father also died in the mountain behind the Tianyin Cliff. There is no doubt that they are targeting us in the Heavenly Hidden Cliff, and in their eyes, there is no doubt that the troublemakers are not from our Demon Sect.
If you want to add sin, there is no excuse. The elder brother took over the Tianyin Cliff against public opinion and became the new leader of the Demon Sect. There are rumors in the rivers and lakes that it was the new sect leader who killed the old sect leader, threatened the saintess inside, and assassinated several leaders outside, intending to unify the martial arts.
There are also rumors that the old sect leader's violent death was actually a fake death, and all this is just a conspiracy of the Demon Sect to unify the martial arts.
In the past few years, I have been really well protected. My father placed me in a hidden valley in the Heavenly Hidden Cliff, where several maids served me and never let me come into contact with the outside world. Ten years ago, my mother was taken hostage by a famous and decent faction, and carried out a cleansing and slaughter of the disciples of Tianyin Cliff, among which the heads of the three factions of Hengshan, Huashan, and Maoshan were the leaders. After my mother died, my father was decadent for a long time, and he didn't have time to take care of me, so he wanted me to experience something too, so he asked my brother to secretly protect me and go through this experience.
No wonder, for more than a decade, I've been trying to survive every time.
Ten years later, the new heads of the three factions of Hengshan, Huashan, and Maoshan clamored to gather the faction to fight the Heavenly Hidden Cliff, bound to avenge their old masters. This time, they had no chips, no protons, and my brother and I faced the enemy head-on.
In fact, I know that most of the assassins in the past ten years have been disciples of these three factions.
Because many years ago, when my father escaped from the evil tower of Shaolin Temple and took away his mother, who was still practicing in Mount Emei, the Tibetan scripture pavilion of the three factions of Hengshan, Huashan and Maoshan caught fire, and thousands of classics were reduced to ashes. Since then, Shaolin Emei, Henghua Spear Mountain, and the Tianyin Cliff Demon Sect are incompatible.
On that day, there were many injuries to the Heavenly Hidden Cliff. The disciples of the three sects also suffered heavy casualties.
That day, I finally understood what it means to be a decent person.
Later, I don't know how many times in the spring and autumn, my brother died tragically in the endless crazy assassination of famous and decent people, in order to protect me. At that time, we really regained our memory, and remembered that the wound on his face was accidentally injured by his father when he tried to stop his father from slaughtering all the disciples present after his mother's death that year.
Thinking of the origin of my friendship with Old Man Guo, it was just that he killed the bandits to help Old Man Guo take revenge, and Old Man Guo repaid him.
Thinking that although his father had recovered his sanity since that year, his cultivation had been greatly reduced, and his health had been bad, and he died that year, maybe the head of the three factions was really killed by his brother, in order to avenge his father and mother.
Time has passed, and I have become the new master of the Heavenly Hidden Cliff. finally became an out-and-out demon girl in the mouth of the Jianghu martial arts decent. 、
In fact, the cause of the three factions and the Tianyin Cliff back then, the fire in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, was that the youngest son of the leader of the martial arts alliance couldn't get used to seeing the head of the three factions relying on the old man to command at the head meeting, and even gave his father a dignified martial arts alliance leader's face, so he summoned his friends to burn down the three factions in a fit of anger.
However, how many people care about the truth?
It's all wrong, but because we're a demon cult.
