Chapter Forty-Eight: Learning Bad and Slipping Away
After three or five times, all the remaining belongings were sent to the shop that sold pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
Several times in business, the consequences are the same. It's like God doesn't like me, and I always target it. The last time the business failed, I was penniless.
When there was only one belt left on my body, I met a Taoist priest who was passing by and resting under the willow tree with a crooked neck by the river. ”
"You wanted to kill yourself at that time?" Bing Sanzhang couldn't believe it, this was completely inconsistent with the old ghost's character.
"At that time, my family was ruined, I had no relatives, and the despair in my heart was almost numb, and living was basically a crime, it was better to die!"
"What did the Taoist priest say?"
"I passed by him, there was no intersection, but obviously he had already walked over, but he stood up with a 'huh', rushed over with an arrow step, stared at me for a long time with sharp eyes that could see through the cracks of bones, and suddenly smiled, and said: Strange and strange, it is obviously the life of the wicked of the ninth generation, but in this life he has become a scholar who has no power to restrain the chicken, which can be described as a strange thing in the world.
I was naturally shocked when I heard this, and hurriedly asked in detail, but the Taoist priest refused to say, but I begged bitterly, and he told me the truth. ”
Bing Sanzhang made up the scene of pleading and pleading, and felt that the Taoist priest must not be able to stand the torture of Tang Seng chanting, so he was forced to vomit helplessly.
After that, I might regret slapping myself in the mouth.
"He said that I was a wicked man of the ninth generation, and this life is the last life, when I murder, arson, rape, adultery, and plunder, marry a beautiful wife and concubine, have a full house of children and grandchildren, and enjoy wealth and a good death. However, I have never done a single evil thing since I was born, which is against the will of Heaven, and God thinks that I have changed my life against Heaven without authorization, and wants to repay me for the evil consequences of the previous eight lives. He said it was unbelievable that I had lived so long.
After saying that, as if he was afraid of being damned, he left in a hurry, but I was stunned for a few hours like a thunderbolt from a sunny day. ”
Bing Sanzhang thought for a while and asked, "What, I don't understand a little, he said that you should kill people, set fires, rape and plunder, and then enjoy wealth and prosperity?"
The old ghost glanced at Bing Sanzhang and said, "I am the Ninth Wicked Person's Destiny, the agent of the evil thoughts of the Heavenly Dao, and I am not subject to cause and effect. ”
"My day, there is such a good thing!" Bing Sanzhang rolled his eyes, feeling that this old thing of Tiandao was really shameless, even if he was a referee and went off the field, then who could do it?
"I stood until dawn, when the first rays of sunlight shone on my face, I felt my head buzz, and the resentment that had gathered in my chest for many years was instantly ignited, and the blazing heart burned my blood to the top of my head, and in an instant anger rose from my heart, and evil was born to the side of my guts. He grabbed his belt and rushed into the woods.
At that time, I was thinking, didn't this thief let me be a wicked person, well, I will be a wicked person for you. ”
Bing Sanzhang was silent in his heart: What the hell is the belt of trousers......
"I didn't think much of it at the time, but I saw a figure in the distance in the woods, and I rushed over with a loud roar. The man turned around and ran, not even wanting anything on the ground. When I picked it up and saw that it was a firewood knife and a bundle of dry firewood, I realized that the man was a woodcutter. In this way, the weapon in my hand was replaced by a firewood knife......"
Bing Sanzhang grinned, and said in his heart: The trouser belt is not a weapon, big brother.
"Holding the firewood knife in my hand, I didn't want to go anywhere in my heart, it was like looking for someone to vent my anger, I didn't think about it at all, I felt that even if I died like this, it was better than a puppet who continued to do the way of heaven.
Fortunately, it didn't take long for me to see three or four people entering the mountain, and this time I hid in the forest and could see it clearly, although they were dressed differently, when all of them were strong men, I did not hesitate at all, and rushed over without hesitation.
I was ready to carry at least one of my backs even if I died.
But things are just in the right way, those men saw that my legs were weak when they saw me rushing over, and before I could say a word, a fat man in the middle knelt on the ground with a thud, and threw the package on his body while begging for mercy frantically. I was stunned, the other party had already stripped naked, and the girl was thrown far away, and disappeared in the blink of an eye. ”
Bing Sanzhang was speechless.
"When I came back to my senses and counted my things, I found that the package contained a full hundred taels of silver. Since then, I have understood that I am the fate of the ninth generation of wicked people, live honestly, and live a wife, a child, and a parent. If you go out to do evil, kill people, and set fires, everything is going well, and you can do it without brains! If you want to do good? That is even more impossible!
In this way, I relied on a firewood knife and hit 5,000 taels of silver in just half a year. ”
Bing Sanzhang lowered his head and thought about it, nodded in agreement, and said in his heart: You are indeed 'beaten' down, and you haven't mixed any water.
"I'm alone, I don't know how to farm, I don't like to drink and I don't have much interest in women, and under the influence of my parents, I only buy food when I have money, and I have no place to spend it. ”
Bing Sanzhang stretched out his thumb and praised: "Instinctive accumulation of grain, amazing!"
The old ghost ignored him and said: "At that time, I didn't think much about it at all, but I was vaguely looking forward to when someone from the government arrested me, and what I found was food, which was better than searching out the silver and directly cheapening those corrupt officials."
But I never expected that the next year there would be a severe drought all over the world, and there was no harvest in the entire crop fields of Henan Province, and I heard people in the village sitting in the fields wailing and crying almost every day.
Although I feel bad in my heart, I can't help them.
The people in the village lived with their belts on their belts, and when they saw that I was still full of food and drink every day, some people came to me and asked me to borrow food. I didn't dare to borrow it, so I could only tell them that I was actually a robber, and that I had robbed food and everything.
I thought that they would report to the official, but when I was hesitating whether to tie my hands or resist stubbornly, the next day forty or fifty people came running, broke into the door and couldn't help but say, bowed their heads, and shouted that they wanted to join the gang and treat me as the eldest brother.
So, I had my first batch of team in a daze. ”
"There are more people under my hands, and the forest path is naturally unusable, so I moved to the main road with my people, perhaps because of the relationship between the number of people, and I made a lot of money in a year, and my people tasted the sweetness, and in the second year, there were several times as many people to vote. In this way, I became the biggest mountain king within a radius of 100 miles. ”
