"Since you have fought against that bloody tiger, do you have any clues to find the Blood Gate of Ghost Mountain?"
"No." Ling Cang shook his head helplessly: "I have been to the place where we fought, and the ground has been burned to white by fire. The blood tiger himself is probably turned into ashes!"
"If that's the case..." Old Man Shi sighed: "Then there is no other way. It just depends on whether you have the courage to escape this disaster?"
"fate?"
"Perhaps by chance, your fate will be solved. If you are destined to not escape this disaster, it will be useless even if you go everywhere to force the antidote. However, I do have a box of medicine here..." Old Man Shi took out a
The small wooden box was placed in front of Ling Cang: "Yulu Qingdu Pill cannot cure Guishan Blood Poison, but it can delay the onset. What happens in the end depends on your life."
Out of trust in Old Man Shi, Ling Cang hurriedly took one pill and felt that his body suddenly felt much better: "My fate is up to me and not God!"
Old Man Shi looked at Ling Cang and nodded after a long time: "Back then, there was a man named Ling Yang who often said this."
"He is also my father, right?" Ling Cang suddenly smiled: "Thank you for the medicine, Old Man Shi... Maybe I should call you another name."
Old Man Shi picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, then asked calmly: "What is my other name?"
"Sikong You." After a moment of silence, Ling Cang continued: "Song, You, You, Kong, your name is a bit dialectical."
Old Man Shi remained calm and asked calmly: "So, you know everything?"
"Actually, I still don't know anything, I just used a little reasoning..." Ling Cang looked at Old Man Shi and said slowly: "I met you by chance. You are an expert who hides in the city. These are nothing. But you
Everything I want to know is clearly understood, and this cannot be explained by coincidence."
"Then what."
"I always felt that even though my father disappeared, he couldn't leave me alone. He would definitely send someone to help me secretly... So I thought of you. Plus, the expression on your face when you mentioned my parents was totally inappropriate.
As an outsider can, I suspect that you and my father have a very close relationship." In fact, what Ling Cang said was basically based on speculation and there was no evidence. But Ling Cang guessed right, and it was absolutely correct:
"My father has four cronies, and their surnames start with the word 'Si'. I already know Sima, Situ and Sikou, so the remaining one should be Sikong. I noticed that the names of the three of them are connected, and then
Adding one word is 'the way of heaven is constant'..."
"So you think my name is Sikong You?" Old Man Shi laughed loudly: "You are very smart. Just like your father, you guessed it completely right. I am half a wise man next to your father, but I am not an old man.
No matter how brilliant one is in resourcefulness, it is only a matter of being well-informed.”
"Thank you for the compliment." Ling Cang looked at Old Man Shi, and a strange emotion suddenly welled up in his heart, which was mixed with family affection, trust and doubt. As a confidant of his father, Old Man Shi was like an elder to him, but why did this man
The elders still refused to reveal their identities.
"These surnames are our original surnames, but the names were changed later. Because the four of us were brothers in love at that time, we took the phrase 'Heaven's way is constant' together." Sikong You looked at Ling Cang, and now there was more.
Somewhat kindly: "Among the four, I am the oldest and should have been ranked first. But I like the word 'you' because it coincides with my last name, so I ranked third. As you said, empty
That is, there is, and there is emptiness. In fact, everything in the world is just clouds, and only the strong self will always exist."
"I understand." Ling Cang nodded: "Is there anything else you want to tell me?"
"No, I don't know the answers to most of the questions you are concerned about. Where is your father, what happened back then... I am also confused." Taking a deep breath, Sikong You slowly spit it out:
"One night more than ten years ago, your father suddenly called me to his office and asked me to do one last thing for him."
"About me?"
"Yes, his expression was very heavy at that time. I have never seen him like this in so many years..." Sikong You looked at Ling Cang and was immersed in reminiscing about the past: "He told me that he will send you away soon."
Go to the mountains, where I will train you to grow up slowly. In the future, you will go to Minghai, and let me be by your side to help you. However, I cannot tell you my identity unless you can realize it yourself."
"Did he speak a little too early?"
"No, he asked me to set off immediately and come directly to Minghai and live in seclusion here. He also specifically asked me to remain anonymous from now on and keep everything I know secret from the outside world. And..." He shook his head in confusion,
Sikong You continued: "We have to cut off all contact with him. Therefore, I have no idea what happened after that. Even the fact that Sima Tian betrayed the Ling family, I knew about it from other channels. Although the four of us
We love each other as brothers, but in this way, Sima Tian and we can only live together. However, we haven’t seen each other for more than ten years, and we really want to know whether we are okay now..."
"If I'm right..." Ling Cang suddenly smiled slyly: "I'm afraid you have your own guesses about everything."
"That's right." Sikong You admitted frankly: "Ling Yang was targeted by the Illuminati."
"Illuminati?" Ling Cang recalled, as if he had read it in some books: "Is there really such a mysterious organization?"
"Indeed, they have a long history and have been secretly passing it on for thousands of years. Speaking of which, there are many organizations with this name. The real Illuminati, also known as the Bavarian Illuminati, was founded in Bavaria. They were originally a
The purpose of religious organizations is to spread the gospel to the whole world. But they are different from religious groups in the traditional sense. They are somewhat similar to the three major knights of Christianity in history - they are religious organizations on the surface, but military organizations in essence.
He is a businessman. Due to its rapid development and the expansion of ambitions of the leading figures within it, the religious overtones later became lighter and it became a completely secular organization."
"It seems like the bad guys in movies and novels all want to control the world. Are they the same?"
"That's right, but they really exist and are not fictitious in movies and novels. Their ultimate goal is to cleanse human society - to be precise, to launch a catastrophe - and then establish a unified theocratic country. There is one
According to this theory, Germany's rapid development during World War II was due to the support of the Illuminati. If you understand history, you will know that the beginning of Hitler's path to power was the Bavarian Beer Hall Coup, which was the birthplace of the Illuminati.
The Illuminati originally wanted to unify Europe first, but at the same time they believed that the red doctrine of a certain superpower in the east posed a threat and wanted to fight against it. As a result, they were involved in a two-front war. As we all know, Germany was ultimately defeated. The bankruptcy of the plan led to the Illuminati
Their vitality was severely damaged. But they took advantage of the subsequent Cold War and achieved revival." After taking a sip of tea, Si Kongyou continued: "This organization has played a very important role in the history of human development, but most people have not
I don’t know. Speaking of which, they have made many contributions. For example, they established the modern banking system. In modern times, it is unsafe and inconvenient to carry large amounts of cash when going out. The Illuminati uses this method when sending people out to do things.
Issue a bill, and when you arrive at your destination, go to the local Illuminati branch to exchange the bill for the corresponding cash. The Illuminati has branches all over the world, and this method is widely practiced. Later, it was learned by others, and it became a check and pass.
Deposit and redemption.”
"How did they develop?"
"The Illuminati has caught up with several important changes and major developments in human history, such as the British Industrial Revolution, the establishment of the capitalist system, the overseas colonization of Western powers, etc. They have made full use of these opportunities and made huge fortunes for themselves.
Especially in the capital market. Next, they used this wealth to infiltrate the political circles of many countries and then control the politics of the country. Later, they also controlled many super rich people and multinational companies." These things Sikong You said included Ling Cang.
Among them, most people living in this world don’t know: “There is a famous man in country M who speculates in stocks. He once said that he would not leave a penny to his children in the future. In fact, he was referring to the public ones.
Child. In fact, he secretly had an eldest son who was kidnapped by the Illuminati as soon as he was born. He was later trained to be a die-hard member and held an important position under him. As a result, he himself converted to the Illuminati and vowed to transfer all his property to the Illuminati.
Leave it to the eldest son to help realize God's cause. There are many similar things, to name a few. Your father's rapid development naturally attracted the attention of the Illuminati."
"It turns out that my father did this to protect me."
"Before I left, your father was actively preparing to compete with the Illuminati. But strangely, the decisive battle never came. Your father disappeared, and the Illuminati did not take any action."
Ling Cang had a very bad feeling: "Did my father be kidnapped or murdered by the Illuminati?"
"Impossible. If this is the case, Chenyang International cannot develop so smoothly. It is even more impossible for it to remain in the hands of the Ling family, waiting for you to inherit it in the future."
"Or, what kind of tacit agreement has my father reached with the Illuminati?"
"It's possible, but I think the reason why the Illuminati didn't take action was because it was untargeted. In other words, they didn't know where Ling Yang was. I once suspected that Long Jianhai's death was the work of the Illuminati. They framed your father.
The purpose is to force your father out."
Knowing the answers to many questions, Ling Cang's mood became heavier because he felt an extra burden on his shoulders: "It seems that I will have to face the Illuminati sooner or later."
"This is your responsibility!" Sikong You said this, with a sad look on his face, and he seemed to have aged a lot in an instant: "I can't tell you other things... Oh, wait, you may be very interested in the forbidden ring.
interest."
"right."
"That is your family's ancestral treasure, which can give people the power of restraint. Because of this, it has caused countless people to fight for it. In order to eliminate the covetousness of outsiders, your father decided not to pass on the ring of restraint and to marry you forever.
Become one."
"So, the descendants of the Ling family will not be able to obtain superpowers?"
"Superpowers may be inherited, or they may not. Your father's starting point is that a person's strength comes from the heart, not any superpowers. If the descendants do not live up to expectations, even if they have superpowers, they are incompetent. On the contrary, if they live up to expectations, there will be no superpowers.
Mighty and omnipotent.”
"Situ Dao also said something similar..."
"But..." Si Kongyou suddenly smiled, making the originally oppressive atmosphere lighter: "I guess Lingyang is also afraid that you will lose it."
"why do you say so?"
"Where's the Tianhuang you took from me?"
"It's in the dormitory, do you want me to take it back and give it back to you?"
"It is indeed in the dormitory now, but a few days ago, it was probably in the hands of the pawnshop owner, right?"
Ling Cang sweated violently after hearing this, and said after a long time: "You are really well informed..."
"No matter how well-informed I am, there is only a limit to what I can do to help you. In the end, you have to rely on yourself."
"You have said this so many times that your ears are ringing. By the way..." Ling Cang rolled his eyes and asked shamelessly: "When can I inherit my father's inheritance?"
"When you find him."
"Can you make a little advance? I'm very poor now."
Old Man Shi shook his head dully: "No."
"Stingy..." Ling Cang sighed in disappointment: "Stingy people mostly have bad hearts... By the way, you had that heart attack, weren't you just pretending to meet me?"
"First, your father's property is kept by Sikouchang, not me; second, I did have a heart attack at the time, but even if it hadn't happened, I would have known you through other opportunities."
"Then tell me how much money my dad has, and let me dream about it!"
Old Man Shi shook his head slowly: "I don't know."
"Immortal..." Ling Cang snorted: "It's not your money, why are you holding on to it!"
"What did you say?" Sikong Youteng got angry: "Your father talks to me politely, but you dare to scold me! Besides, these things were all told by your father, and it's not like our brothers suddenly
I wonder, are you still afraid that we will steal your property?"
"That's hard to say!"
"Don't worry, your dad has made all the arrangements and won't let anyone take away a penny!"
"Then why can't you give me some in advance?"
"If you say you won't give it, you won't give it. It's useless even if you try to provoke him!"
"If you don't give me money, believe it or not, I will take away your pile of broken rocks?"
"Come on, grab it. When I see Ling Yang in the future, I will definitely sue you!"
"Don't scare me with me, I'm not scared. I grew up in the mountains and haven't seen anything before!"
"Fortunately, your father put you in the mountains. If you had raised you outside, you don't know how many people would have been harmed!"
