Volume 1, Mo Siliang Chapter 8 Shi Shuzu
When the secret official of the Supervision Department died, Gu Shuleng was already carrying a small wooden box and walking on a fairly lively street.
This is his street, Seventy-Nine Street.
Much of the excitement and prosperity here is due to him, although his hands were soaked in blood because of the seizure of these four streets.
But after all, he still has some good and evil in modern people, and he can't extort as much as the gangs in the rest of the neighborhoods, but has reduced a lot of shop rents and taxes.
Naturally, some ordinary people who had been exploited but still survived tenaciously poured in, and the flow of people became more and more.
Gu Shuleng was a little stunned for a while, remembering a past incident.
When he was only eight years old, he was on his way south with the displaced people when he met a teenager who was being chased and killed by several monks from the same realm, and was running for his life.
The boy was desperate and happened to be facing the long line of outcasts.
If it was an ordinary monk, he would probably be very ecstatic and immediately threw himself into the ranks of the homeless. and slaughtered the homeless people to create chaos in order to achieve the goal of escape.
However, to his surprise, the young man did not hesitate to dodge and fled a little farther away.
But after such a delay, he was chased and surrounded by several monks.
However, what was unexpected was that the boy who was in the middle of death surprised him again.
The young man was very much like the scenes in the novels he had seen in his previous life, the genius protagonist faced a siege of several times the monks of his realm, and was able to rely on subtle cultivation techniques and body techniques to maneuver, and occasionally fought back.
But when manpower is poor, although the boy is very strong, he can't stand the crowd and hurt people with secret arrows. After fighting several times and retreating, he tried to get rid of the entanglement, but he was forced to retreat again and again, and had to fight the trapped beast.
There were many twists and turns in the process, and in the end he still pointed out the young man.
The young man was really able to break through the realm in the fight and kill several monks, which was tantamount to 'saving each other' in disguise.
Later, in the face of the boy's surprised and strange gaze, he did not make any answer.
When the boy finally asked him why he had spoken out to save him.
Pointing to the unclothed ranks of displaced people, he said, "Because of one of your actions, they survived. ”
The young man was very surprised, very unconvinced, and continued to ask.
He said very seriously: "In this world, it is already a great gift for ordinary people to survive like dogs. You can value the lives of these people who live like dogs from the bottom of your heart, why shouldn't you be saved?"
If the previous teenager had chosen to use the displaced people to escape, by that time, whether they escaped or not, most of the displaced people would have been harmed, or even spared.
The monk vented his anger at the massacre of the homeless, and he believed that these people had done it.
At that time, the young man turned his head and saw the faces of those homeless people with yellow faces and thin muscles, and he was still grateful to himself, and suddenly replied in a tone of voice: "Actually, I used to live like a dog like them, so I know better how difficult it is for ordinary people in this world." ”
In fact, he already knew the boy's name.
The young man is called Yanxin, even if no one 'rescues' this time, he will not die.
He is even more aware of all the stories of the boy and the future ending.
This meteor-like immortal genius, bright and dazzling, was also short-lived.
Gu Shuleng retracted his thoughts, looked at the long street that was so long that he couldn't see the end, complained that the street was too long, and began to continue walking.
This Xiongcheng is very old and huge, and it is a veritable Baili Xiongcheng.
Such a giant city is only divided into 17 areas, not counting the 17 main city streets, and an urban area is no more than 100 large and small streets, so you can imagine how much a street can occupy.
And he was able to occupy a cake in such a huge male city, which made many people covet, and the second son of the State Pastoral Mansion was indeed a great contribution.
Otherwise, even if he tried his best to be bloody, it would not make people feel so afraid, but would make the peepers even more crazy. Especially those who use swords, all of them are willing to bend and not bend, even if they know that they are dead, they will give you a sword.
Because the law of survival in this world is strength, strong self-strength.
He was well aware that the current stability was only short-lived.
One day there will be a strong person who is stronger than Yanxin, and whose background and background are greater than Yanxin.
It's good to be alone and rely on friends, but you can't rely on friends for everything.
Though he often calculates him.
Although he doesn't think of him as a close friend.
The shops and stalls on both sides of the street and the crowd were flowing, and Gu Shuleng was also slowly moving forward with the flow of people.
He walked to the end of the street, and finally stopped in front of a secluded corner, and from a long distance he could see the old man sitting in front of the dilapidated log cabin.
The old man also entered the city with Gu Shuleng's group of displaced people, and his age looked like he was probably old enough, and there were few gray and sparse hair.
It's just that the spirit is good, and the hands and feet are also dexterous, making a living by weaving some small objects, and occasionally helping people write letters, draw calligraphy and paintings.
The old man's words are not too outstanding, but the painting skills are really wonderful, if the painting realm can be as realm as the cultivation, it is probably extraordinary.
Gu Shuleng once saw a pair of ingenious Danqing handwriting made by the old man, so he often came here to learn art under the pretext of 'seeing a doctor'.
It's just that the old man's body is not very healthy, just like most ordinary old people, they will have all kinds of problems because of the decline of physical function when they are old.
Gu Shuleng has treated the elderly many times, and he once thought that it was no different from most of the common cases of ordinary elderly people.
Even if this old man was a monk, he could not escape birth, old age, sickness and death.
But now he wants to overturn the results of his diagnosis and re-examine the old man.
In fact, when he first met this old man, he told him because of his unique "intuition" talent, 'This old man is very close'.
At least not with ill will.
His "intuition" talent never went wrong.
Later, after weighing the pros and cons and thinking for a long time, he decided to contact the old man, which led to the fact that he later approached the old man on the grounds of 'stunning old man Danqing's calligraphy and painting', and asked the old man for advice on pen and ink Danqing while diagnosing and treating.
Gu Shuleng walked up to the old man and laughed softly: "Old man, I haven't come to see you for a few days, has your body been sick again?"
Facing the afterglow of the setting sun, the old man squinted, nodded kindly, and quipped in a faint voice: "How can there be a doctor like you in the world, who will run to me for three or five days and still don't charge money." If it weren't for the fact that my family is surrounded by walls and an old bone, I would have suspected you of bad intentions. ”
Gu Shu was noncommittal, of course he didn't charge money, but he had already collected the medicine fee, which was far more important than money.
As he spoke, the old man propped himself up with some difficulty, and motioned for Gu Shuleng to go into the house.
Gu Shuleng also followed up silently, as if he was accustomed to it.
The old man seems to have always been so withdrawn and has no name.
Gu Shuleng also asked, the old man smiled and didn't want to say, just call him 'old man'. Gu Shuleng didn't follow it, and only called the old man occasionally.
After sitting down, Gu Shuleng put the small wooden box on the small table that was a little broken, but did not start the diagnosis as usual, but said calmly: "I remember when I first met the old man a few years ago, he asked me, 'Do you remember', I didn't know why. ”
The old man's pupils suddenly shrank, and there seemed to be a flash of golden light in his eyes, and he suddenly blurted out in a trembling voice: "You..."
The old man's weak voice was still a little vague, Gu Shuleng was a little puzzled for a while, thinking that he had heard it wrong, and said hesitantly: "The old man's surname is Qi?"
After he broke through the realm of knowing the gods, when he first touched the heavens and the earth with his divine thoughts, he had a brief 'celestial and human induction', and remembered some memories that seemed to have been hidden in the depths of his mind.
Although these memories are fragmentary fragments, they are shocking enough.
In that period of celestial induction, he 'saw' that in his life as a wanderer, this old man who seemed to be dying had appeared many times.
Until he entered the city, fought in several urban districts, and finally settled in Dongcheng District, this old man also came with him, and settled in peace not far from him.
He had thought deeply that he had been eight years old since he had traveled to 'wake up', and he had no memory of it until he was eight years old.
He also thought that it might be the surveillance of the enemy from this body, but he quickly denied it.
And to be so sure is because of the "destiny" that has been confirmed by his hard work for many years.
This peculiar "fate" was set up by himself for a villain in the original book when he wrote the book.
Although this "life" setting is a bit vague, there is one key point in it. It is this kind of "fate" that is not only a deadly shackle, but also a window to peek into a glimmer of heaven.
Therefore, all his "intuition" will involve his own celestial destiny, which is also very accurate.
So he denied the enemy.
Then he thought to himself that perhaps the owner of this body was the illegitimate child of some large family who had been expelled or exiled. The old man is a powerful monk, secretly protecting himself on the orders of his family?
Therefore, when he said the old man's surname based on a flash of fragmentary memory, he quietly observed the old man's reaction.
But the answer he got was both expected and disappointed.
The old man was first surprised, and then suddenly asked very flatly: "Do you remember more?"
Gu Shuleng wanted to say 'yes' in his heart, so as to show more things about the old man.
But then he calmed down again, knowing that this kind of shoddy means was not advisable, and replied: "No, only many fragmentary memories. Mr. Qi, I have lost my memories before?"
The old man stared at Gu Shuleng with a complicated face, and seemed to be very lost after getting the answer, and said after a moment of silence: "Yes, what you have done over the years has been somewhat unexpected, and I once thought that you remembered something, so I only asked back then." ”
After speaking, he lowered his head with some regret, and seemed to have no desire to talk.
The corners of Gu Shuleng's mouth twitched, and he complained frantically in his heart, I was only eight years old at the time, even if I remembered something, could it be more "unexpected" than now?
Suddenly, something he had been ignoring until now, something that seemed to be deliberately 'hidden' in his subconscious.
He blurted out, "How many times have I 'backtracked'?"
The old man was startled, and his fingers in mid-air began to tremble.
After a moment of coming back to his senses, he suddenly stood up and dusted off his somewhat sloppy clothes.
In the sound of choking, he solemnly bowed and saluted:
"Qi Jiantan, the one hundred and seventy-third generation sect master of the Qingshan Sect, welcome the return of the senior uncle and ancestor!"
