Chapter 67: The Human Heart
I don't know how long later, Lu Ye woke up from a dream, and was stunned to find that he had sat in the morning shop.
At this moment, in his Dantian Tiande Eight Treasure Furnace, there were already two completely different Yuan Stones. One is the red yuan stone that contains the sword intent of the free travel is cold and wanton, and the other is the yellow yuan stone that contains the sword intent of the human world is thick and simple, and the first one has just been condensed. The two kinds of yuan stones are clearly distinguished, and there is a faint trace of the mysterious luck that is maintained by each other.
Lu Ye was surprised and delighted, and looked up at Gu San who was sitting opposite.
Gu Sanzheng skillfully rolled up the fritters with flatbread, and ate the bowl of tofu brain in front of him sweetly, not looking at him at all.
Only then did Lu Ye notice that there was also a breakfast in front of him, two fried dough sticks, a basket of steamed buns, and a big bowl of salted soy milk.
"Do you want to add spicy seeds?" Gu San didn't look up and asked Lu Ye.
Lu Ye picked up a steaming vegetable bag, took a bite and said, "That's just right." β
"You don't like spicy food, it's a pity. Gu San drank the tofu brain, how could he have the slightest trace of the power of the heavenly realm, his forehead was sweating heartily, and he let out a pleasant breath: "It's still the original taste, and the craftsmanship hasn't changed at all." β
"Third uncle, have you cultivated the Zhou Tian Sword Spectrum?" Lu Ye couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart.
Gu San rolled another fritter: "Well, Zhou Tian's sword book is my self-created five-style sword intent, and I gave it to your mother later." β
Lu Ye couldn't help but be stunned.
Gu San continued: "I have known your mother and mother for a long time, and then we escaped from the black prison together. I was relatively unproductive, and I hid in the world to avoid the reincarnation of the soldiers. And your mother stayed in the heavenly realm, risking nine deaths to snatch the wheel of eternity, and was finally hunted down by the three ancestors, leaving only a wisp of remnant soul to escape from the world. β
Lu Ye held his breath, this was the first time he heard someone talk about his mother's past in the heavenly realm, and he couldn't help but ask: "What is the black prison, why are you and your mother locked up in it?"
Gu San shook his head and said, "The Black Prison is just what we call that place in private, as long as you know this." Before you become the Emperor of Heaven, you can't reveal half a word to anyone. β
Lu Ye asked again: "What is the wheel of all time, why do you want to grab it desperately?"
Gu San pushed away the empty bowl in front of him, lit a dry cigarette and took two puffs before saying, "It's hard to say, and I can't say it." β
"Huh?"
"There's an old saying that you can't divulge your chances. The Wheel of Forever is known as the first artifact of the Flood Wilderness, and it has the power to change the heavens and the earth. But as far as I know, your mother snatched the Wheel of Eternity for another purpose. There is a high probability that there is a secret here. As for what this secret is, perhaps only your mother and the three ancestors know. Well, your mother Bing Xue is smart, and she must know something extraordinary, so she will be desperate to snatch the wheel of eternity. β
He puffed on his cigarette and continued: "This time your mother had an accident, and I also tried to find a helping hand in the hope of helping her and repay her for saving her life back then. Unfortunately, I never managed to find her. Perhaps, she has returned to the heavenly realm. β
Lu Ye's heart shook when he heard this, he forcibly suppressed his excitement, and said in a trembling voice: "My mother is not dead?"
Gu San smiled and said, "She can still keep a glimmer of life under the joint siege of the three ancestors, how can she die so easily? At least, I will never believe that she is dead." β
Lu Ye's heart was beating faster, and a strong impulse ignited in his heart, to become stronger, to go to the heavenly realm, to solve the unknown mystery, maybe the mother and son could really reunite!
"Have you eaten?" Gu San extinguished the dry smoke and got up to pay the bill: "Let's just walk around the city." β
Lu Ye followed Gu San out of the shop, and the figures of the two quickly blended into the bustling sea of people.
They are like ordinary men, mingling in the crowd and walking through the streets and alleys aimlessly. When you encounter a bustle, stop and take a look, smell the delicious food, and walk over to taste it. Before you know it, the sun is setting in the west, and it is dusk.
The two went around and came to the prison of Ningzhou Mansion again. Gu San took Lu Ye and no one to break in, and the jailer guarding the door was as blind as if he was blind.
Gu San came to a locked prison door, and he didn't see any movement, so the two of them passed through the door and entered the heavily guarded death row.
The prison was dark and dark, except for the faint glow of a few oil lamps hanging on the walls, and a disgusting stench came to my nose, and from time to time I heard the moaning and wailing of ghosts and wolves.
Lu Ye also walked behind Gu San, and asked suspiciously: "Third uncle, what are we doing here?"
Gu San didn't say a word, pushed open the iron door of a death row cell, it was pitch black inside, and he couldn't see his fingers, and by the light thrown from the aisle, he saw a middle-aged man in ragged clothes with a pale face, wearing shackles weighing dozens of pounds, sitting motionless in the corner, staring up at the black roof of the hole.
There were no windows on death row, and there was nothing in the cramped room except a bedpan and a straw mat that had long since been tattered. The mat was black and dirty, crawling with small insects, and a few rats were scurrying and squeaking at the big man's feet.
"This is a Jiangyang thief who kills people and does all kinds of evil, and the government has a heavy reward for painting and graphics, and he has escaped by luck several times. I'm afraid you wouldn't expect that the last person who caught this guy was actually a teenage cowherd baby. β
Gu San lit the dry tobacco pipe, and the sparks flashed in the darkness, illuminating his wrinkled face flickering.
"Three months ago, this guy fled to a small mountain village in Ningzhou Prefecture, and met the doll while hiding. The baby took the family's dry food for him to eat, and in the end not only made the guy trust him, but also obediently hid in a cellar. As a result, hehe, as soon as the stone slab on the top of the cellar was released, the Jiangyang thief was captured alive. β
Lu Ye chuckled: "This can be regarded as evil and evil retribution, but that doll is really risky to do this." Why didn't he quietly inform the government or tell the village adults?"
Gu San said hesitantly: "Silly boy, don't you understand? The reward for capturing the Jiangyang thief alive is twice as much as the ventilation report, and the difference in price is enough to herd cattle and buy three or five acres of fertile land in the village, and in the future, build a house, build a house, marry a wife, and have children." β
Lu Ye was stunned and speechless for a while.
Gu San led him to another death row, where there was a weak girl who lay quietly on the straw mat, and suddenly cried in a low voice, and her miserable and weak appearance made people sympathize.
"The girl's father died of tuberculosis more than a year ago, leaving her mother and a brother and sister to depend on each other. Who knew that the disaster was not a one-way street, and within two months, her mother also died at home. Soon after, her brother was gone......"
Gu San smoked a dry cigarette, stared at Lu Ye's face and asked, "You said this girl is not pitiful?"
Lu Ye's eyes flashed, and he pondered: "Something is wrong, I'm afraid it has something to do with her?"
Gu San nodded, Lu Ye didn't expect that he had really guessed correctly, looking at the sometimes crying and sometimes quiet neurotic girl in front of him, he couldn't imagine her cruel appearance when she killed her own mother and eldest brother one after another!
His heart felt a chill in his heart, and he suddenly felt that the wind on death row was terrifying.
"Guess again, why did she do that?"
"Is it to fight for the family's property? It's her mother's partiality with her eldest brother, so she kills people to vent her anger......"
Lu Ye guessed several times in a row, and Gu San shook his head.
"You guessed it, she just did it so that she could see a distant cousin at the funeral of her loved ones. It is said that the cousin was young, handsome, and famous, and she fell in love at first sight. β
Lu Ye gasped, shocked and angry: "It's just for my own wishful thinking, then my cousin may not like her!"
Gu San only said a few words, which made Lu Ye's heart cold to the end: "My cousin is also dead." β
Suddenly, he was terrified of the girl, and subconsciously took a few steps back, his back pressed against the cold stone wall.
The girl's pear blossom with rain gradually turned into a tooth and claw in his eyes, crazy and fierce.
There is such a person in the world, and there is such a thing in the world!
Lu Ye was taken to another cell by Gu San and saw the third death row inmate.
An old lady with a full head of white hair. Lu Ye suspects that even if she is not put on death row, she will not live long by looking at her appearance.
"People can't look good, she is the most powerful of the three death row inmates. She was originally a cook, and one night in the middle of the night, a fire burned down the entire mansion of the master's family, and more than 20 people, old and young, women and children died in the flames. β
Gu Sanmu was expressionless, and pointed at the old lady with a dry tobacco pipe: "The cause is just a few eggs." β
"Eggs?" Lu Ye was stunned, how could he not connect a few eggs with more than twenty lives.
"The cook has just added a big fat boy to her family, and in order to make up for her daughter-in-law who is in confinement, she secretly took a few eggs from the master's house. The matter passed like this, but the more the cook thought about it, the more unsteady she felt, for fear that someone would find out that the number of eggs was wrong and suspect her. β
Gu San's voice did not contain a trace of emotion, and said slowly: "So the cook thought of a good way, and in the middle of the night, while everyone was asleep, she quietly slipped into the room and set a fire. She thought that as long as the room burned out, who would know about the eggs. But what she didn't expect was that there were hundreds of jars of wine in the room, and they burst into flames all of a sudden......"
Lu Ye breathed heavily and glared at the old lady and said, "I don't believe it, she would be so stupid!"
"If she had studied like you, or had a good father and mother, she could naturally think of many good ways to solve this problem. It's a pity that I was born in a low place, and I can't see my body three feet away, so what can I do if I don't set it on fire?"
Lu Ye turned his head to look at Gu San, and said in confusion, "Why did the third uncle take me to see them?"
"I'm not showing you them, it's the human heartβwhether it's smart or crazy or stupid, but it can't escape a greedy word after all. β
Gu San looked directly at Lu Ye's gaze and replied in a deep voice: "Don't think that only the three of them are like this, similar people and similar things abound, and there are even more appalling and outrageous than this." β
He paused suddenly, took a silent puff of dry cigarette, and said slowly: "Such a heart, such a world...... Little leaves, will you still like it?"
