"Forget it, you can't help me." I shook my head and smiled bitterly.
"Haha, how do you know if you don't tell me and I can't help you? Anyway, I am a few years older than you and have experienced a lot, so I can give you some advice!"
This is the truth. After thinking about it, I said: "I lost my best friend and favorite person. What do you think I should do?"
"Haha, life is like this. Things will always happen that you don't expect. You have to learn to get used to it. Since life cannot accommodate you, you have to learn to adapt to it. Once you adapt to it, you will get used to it."
"Why do I sound so resigned?"
"This is not about accepting things, but about your state of mind. You have to learn to look at different people and things around you with different eyes. Your friends and lovers leave you and you feel pain. That's because you love them. Don't you feel that you
Are there more important things to do? You have to understand the reasons, why they left you, and what you should do is not to let this happen to you again. Brother, your eyes are already covered by fog.
, you need to go to a wider place. Try to travel, maybe it can make you forget the unhappy things."
Although the words are very simple, the truth is there. Although it cannot completely relax my heart, it is a lot better.
When I returned to my place of residence, I finally plucked up the courage to walk into the old man's room. It was time to learn the truth.
I rummaged through the room and finally found the half of the notebook Shuiyue mentioned in the middle of the bedside pillow. There were too many secrets hidden in this yellowed paper, and now it was finally time to reveal it.
The first sentence of the second half of the book is "I lied to everyone, especially my whole life. I know I hurt him too deeply. I hurt them."
After reading this half of the notes, I finally understood who the "they" A Xue mentioned were and why they owed us the Wang family. I also understood why the monkey said that the old man killed his grandfather.
This matter starts from the Qinling Sacred Lake forty years ago. No one knew that He Tao, who was the leader of the new generation of the "Goulizi" sect, secretly exchanged songs with the leader of the Seven Stars.
After the people from the Tou Clan were sent out of Qinling, he immediately contacted the leader of Qixing. Leader Qixing valued this person who knew the inside story very much. He gave He Tao a task, asking him to work hard to get close to Shuiling and get as much as possible from her.
Get something.
I already know from the old man that after He Tao was sent out, Shui Ling went down the river to find him, and they did meet. The old man was right in saying that they settled their differences. Out of guilt, Shui Ling moved the Qinling Divine Lake into
Some of his secrets were also told to him.
But just after they returned, things changed. The Feitou tribesmen on the bone boat had been slaughtered. Needless to say, it was Zhang Yinzhu who did it. Things happened by chance, when the Feitou tribesmen sent Chen Xiazi and He Tao out.
At that time, Zhang Yinzhu rushed to the bone boat. After learning the secrets of the Feitou tribe, in order to avoid accidents, he asked his men to destroy all the bodies without heads. It can be said that this man has reached the level of madness.
, in order to eradicate the root cause, he sent some people to the Feitou tribe's village and killed all the people inside.
It is precisely because of this that Zhang Yinzhu's operation was destined to fail, which also contributed to the incident being called the one with the highest death toll in the history of modern tomb robbing.
When He Tao came back again, he happened to catch up with what happened this time. The old man and Shui Ling had not come back at that time, and he finally caught an opportunity. Both were commanded by the leader of the Seven Stars, and the two collaborated on a performance.
This performance was performed by three people, Zhang Yinzhu, He Tao and one of the two country rats brought by the old man.
The man's surname was Li, and his name was Li Wenshan. He had been with the old man for ten years since he was twenty years old. Among the two people the old man brought, the other one had been raped by Shui Ling for betraying the old man and revealing the news to Scar Zhao.
He killed him in anger. When Zhang Yinzhu executed the Feitou tribe, Li Wenshan had already fainted on the bone boat. In order to understand the situation, Zhang Yinzhu spared his life. And Li Wenshan also had another identity, that was the monkey's.
grandfather.
He Tao knew the old man's situation very well, and he also knew Li Wenshan's situation very well. Li Wenshan's wife had died long ago, but he still had an only son in his teens, who was the monkey's father.
He Tao threatened him with his son and asked him to perform a play with them, completely severing the relationship between the old man and Shui Ling. Li Wenshan was originally very loyal to the old man, but since he loved his son, he could only agree without conscience.
.
When the old man and Shui Ling came back, the place had already been arranged. Seeing the tragic death of the tribesmen, Shui Ling was naturally filled with grief and anger, and his whole body fell into a state of chaos. Li Wenshan directly pointed out that the old man and Zhang Yinzhu were working together to kill Fei Ling.
The orders of the Tou people were also given by the old man.
The old man couldn't argue, because he did come with Zhang Yinzhu, but was coerced, but Shuiling didn't know, and she believed Li Wenshan's words. It can be said that the scene they performed was very successful, and He Tao didn't even show up.
All the blame was placed on the old man.
Out of hatred, Shui Ling almost went berserk and immediately plunged a dagger into the left side of the old man's chest. This knife also destined the fate of the two of them to come to an end.
Of course, the old man is not dead. Others don't know this, but I can guess it, because the old man's heart was born with a slight deviation, so it was naturally punctured.
I can imagine how the old man felt at that time. He was betrayed again and again, misunderstood again and again, and the woman he loved mercilessly attacked him. As a hot-blooded man, how could he
How can you not hate without being angry?
The old man also broke out. He hit Li Wenshan with a gun on the spot, and then jumped into the river again and went down the river. He had promised Shui Ling not to get involved in the secrets of the sacred lake. Perhaps out of revenge, he was determined to give everyone
Look at the color of people.
Shui Ling also gave chase, this time it was no longer to save but to kill. After they left, another unexpected incident happened on the Bone Boat.
The Bone Boat is a strange boat. When the Flying Heads came back, they could not find their bodies. But for some unknown reason, all the heads sank into the water. When they came out, their bodies had turned into the ones that originally existed in the river.
Ancient corpse.
As a result, Zhang Yinzhu's men and horses were almost completely lost, and in the end only a small number of them escaped with Zhang Yinzhu and He Tao.
Naturally, that trip to the Divine Lake was a complete failure, everyone lost everything, and only He Tao took a huge advantage.
I don't know what happened to the old man and Shui Ling inside, but in the end more than five people came out alive.
In addition to the old man, He Tao, Zhang Yinzhu, Shui Ling and Li Dalongtou, there is also a mysterious person, but that mysterious person has never surfaced. Some people say that person is the leader of the Seven Stars, others say not, but the truth is
I'm afraid only the five of them know what it is like.
The notes said that the old man came out with Li Dalongtou, and the two of them obviously got together.
In the end, Shui Ling married He Tao, which I didn't expect, and the two of them gave birth to a daughter in the end. What I didn't expect the most was that this daughter turned out to be A Xue.
Yes, A-Xue's full name is "He Piaoxue". I should have suspected this a long time ago. At this point, I finally understood why A-Xue said they owed us the Wang family. That "they" must be her father He.
Tao.
He Tao finally succeeded in getting what the leader of the Seven Stars wanted from Shui Ling, and that thing turned out to be a bronze dragon sculpture exactly like the one in my arms. It was also the key to the bronze door in the tomb of the Dragon Chaser. That thing
It has always been with Shui Ling and is a heirloom of the Feitou clan. Even the old man doesn't know about it, and he doesn't know how the leader of the Seven Stars knows about it.
But He Tao did not give it to the leader of the Seven Stars, nor did he grow old with Shui Ling, because paper cannot cover fire. Although Li Wenshan died, and later Zhang Yinzhu also died, he should never have done it.
You should not have the habit of writing notes.
This note is in my hand, and it was finally seen by Shui Ling, more than ten years ago. One can imagine Shui Ling's anger, and their marriage naturally came to an end.
He Tao's handwriting ends here, followed by a few lines of beautiful handwriting, saying that He Tao is hiding, and his last possible destination is the tomb of the dragon driver, but since then, He Tao's figure has never been seen again.
Never appeared either.
It can be said that He Tao is not the winner either. Everyone lost in this incident, including the leader of the Seven Stars behind the scenes. This is a tragedy that belongs to everyone in the Seven Stars.
Needless to say, those last few lines of handwriting were crystal clear. She must have left the notes to the old man. Although the misunderstanding between them was resolved, it was impossible to renew their relationship. Maybe they both had something in their hearts at that time.
They love each other, but reality and everything they have experienced make them unable to face each other anymore. This is a tragedy between them.
I also understand what A-Xue has been looking for, it must be the news about He Tao. But she doesn’t dare to come to the old man because they owe him so much. She also doesn’t dare to go to Shui Ling, even though Shui Ling is her mother.
But she will never forgive He Tao in her heart. She doesn't want to make her mother sad again. Zhang Yinzhu is dead and the mysterious man can't be found. Her only choice is Li Dalongtou, and this is how she and Li Dalongtou end up.
ten years of engagement.
As for the monkey's hatred, it can only be said to be a mistake. It was not wrong for Li Wenshan to betray the old man in order to protect his beloved son, and it was not wrong for the old man to kill him to vent his hatred after being betrayed. According to the notes, the old man was merciful with that shot, and he finally
He died at his own hands, out of guilt and knowing that he could not leave the Qinling Mountains, so he gave himself a happy life.
As for the monkey's father, I think it's more likely that it was just an accident. If the old man wanted to kill him, he wouldn't have raised him for Li Wenshan. Therefore, all of this was a mistake, perhaps the result of someone with deliberate intentions.
