Volume 1: Abandoned Land Chapter 6: Heart like an old fox, nature like a rock
Purple mist and white bones in the old palace of Gushan.
In such a forbidding environment, a strange beauty is reflected.
Perhaps he had reached the limit, or perhaps he hated the Taoist to the extreme. Just when the Taoist was holding a gourd in one hand and covering his hamstring with the other to check the wound, the leader of Dazhai, Tie Zhu, who had been struggling to support himself, suddenly felt the blood surging on his skin.
All the energy was transferred to his hands, and with a loud roar, his whole body rushed towards the Taoist like a cannonball.
The scene in front of him was extremely strange. As Tie Zhu charged towards the Taoist, the skin and flesh on his body seemed to be melting away, and was swallowed up by the purple cloud.
When he rushed towards the Taoist, the lower part of his waist and abdomen had been completely replaced by white bones. Above the waist and abdomen, protected by a faint trace of blood, he still managed to remain intact. His half-human, half-bone appearance was quite frightening.
"kill!"
A blow with all his strength was certainly no small matter. Although the Taoist had already noticed the opponent's movements, his hamstring was broken and he could not avoid it at all. In the critical situation, he could only raise the purple wood gourd in his hand to his head.
"Boom, boom, click"
Two sounds, one crisp and one muffled, sounded almost at the same time. Perhaps due to excessive force, the half-foot-long sword blessed by blood directly broke into countless fragments with one blow. At the same time, it was carved from an unknown material.
The purple wood gourd simultaneously cracked a deep hole, and the symbols on it were destroyed indefinitely. After a series of "bang bang bang" sounds, the entire gourd was directly annihilated into a ball of blue smoke.
As the purple wood gourd turned into fly ash, the purple smoke that lingered around suddenly exploded, like a wild horse that had lost its reins, and dissipated with the breeze.
In just half the time it took to burn the incense, the entire hall became clear, and there was nothing else except white bones scattered in all directions.
"Ahem"
The disheveled Taoist covered his chest and coughed twice, and sat down on the ground. The robe on his body could no longer cover his body. After a long while, he gradually calmed down, cursed angrily, and then picked up the bag at hand.
The Yinhun Banner began to be displayed.
As the Taoist knelt with his hands, gusts of sinister wind suddenly blew around. Immediately, on these recently deceased white bones, traces of gray and cold breath came out from the heads, like swallows returning to their nests, all towards the ghosts.
They gathered in the flags.
"It's not in vain for Taoist Master to come here and spend nearly seven years to finally refine this Yinhun Banner."
The Taoist's face was gray, but his expression was extremely excited.
While the Taoist was casting the spell, the foolish disciple came up to him without knowing it. He was holding a white porcelain sea bowl in his hand and said, "Master, drink some water."
The Taoist who had just exercised his muscles and felt thirsty heard this, glanced at the silly disciple in front of him, snorted coldly, took the white bowl, and drank it in a slurping way, feeling in his heart
When I was planning to leave later, I killed this fool who failed to achieve anything but failed, so that this fatal situation would not happen again in the future.
The Taoist was thinking secretly, with some murderous intent in his eyes. But the next moment, the Taoist's pupils suddenly opened wide, and the water in his mouth spurted out. A short dagger was inserted into the chest at the heart pulse point, and blood spurted out.
It splashed on the face of the fool holding the dagger.
After doing all this, Silly Tuer burst into laughter, but this time his laughter was filled with an unprecedented lightness and joy, and was no longer as stupid and straightforward as before.
"you"
"Haha, the master once said that all dangers must be nipped in the bud. If the master wants to kill the disciple, the disciple has no choice but to strike first."
Hearing this, the Taoist couldn't say a word. He stared at the strange and familiar disciple in front of him with a pair of extremely gloomy eyes, and a feeling of palpitations grew from the bottom of his heart for no reason.
"Have you been pretending to be crazy and acting stupid all this time?"
After a long while, the evil Taoist slowly closed his eyes, took a deep breath and said.
"Yes, otherwise, he would have died in the hands of the master in the bandit den outside Yanzhou Mountain five years ago!"
The silly disciple shook his head and laughed at himself, with a hint of vicissitudes of life in his eyes that was incompatible with his age.
"What's your name? You must have just turned three five years ago, right?"
At this moment, all the complex emotions in the Taoist's voice had subsided, and he spoke in an extremely calm tone, looking at the disciple in front of him as if he were looking at a freak.
"name?"
Hearing this word, the unfamiliar disciple in front of him seemed to become stupid again. After a long while, he took a deep breath and said, "Kong Laosan!"
Kong Fei, who had no father or mother, grew up in an orphanage. When he was three years old, he was adopted by a couple. The first few years were happy and worry-free. However, when he was eight years old, the couple who had difficulty conceiving had their own child.
Kong Fei's status in the family plummeted and he was completely reduced to the role of a servant.
The young and energetic Kong Fei was quite courageous, so he took the change he had saved and left home, never to return.
Society is a big dyeing vat. Some people are intoxicated, some are sober, some are depraved, and some are true. There are all kinds of lives, and thousands of endings.
He was young, frail, and had little social experience. After suffering all kinds of hardships, Kong Fei, who was eight or nine years old, was completely reduced to a beggar, begging for food from hundreds of families, competing with wild dogs for food, and experiencing all the hardships in the world.
As he got older, the young and strong Kong Fei began to make a living from robbery and became a speedster gang. Due to his flexible brain, fierce temper, and daring to fight, after several years of development, he slowly gathered seven or eight gangsters.
My little brother, just when Kong Fei was filled with excitement and ready to fight, reality dealt him a heavy blow and he was caught.
After his release from prison, the middle-aged Kong Fei no longer had the enthusiasm he once had. He had received little education since he was a child and had no skills. After reentering society, he began to steal children for a living. At the beginning, he had little experience.
, became a frequent visitor in the bureau, and over time, he mastered some tricks. After slowly learning and understanding, and after painstaking study, the chance of being caught became smaller and smaller, and he became a well-known veteran figure in the child stealing world.
There is a saying: It is better to rob than to steal, and to steal is worse than cheating.
Kong Fei, who has passed the age of destiny, is no longer satisfied with the petty thieving world and develops in the direction of liar. There are three realms of liar: pointing out falsehood is true, pointing out truth is false, and following the rules.
In order to reach the highest level, Kong Fei also worked hard for his life. He studied psychology, game theory, temperament, taste, clothing, current affairs, finance, law, etc. He studied more than 30 kinds of secrets and finally mastered these secrets to achieve the unparalleled level in the world of liar.
In the realm of superiority, follow the rules!
As long as Kong Fei says something, people around him will unconditionally believe it and believe it without any doubt.
In the end, Kong Fei successfully defrauded a rich and unkind boss of eight million, and when he was about to leave in a car, driven by his remaining conscience, he rescued a girl from the speeding wheel, but he himself fell in a pool of blood.
The eight million in the handbag were flying all over the sky, shining like fireworks.
I have been a beggar for ten years, and I have robbed Taoism for ten years. I have been a thief for ten years, and I have been a liar for ten years.
A life of sinking, never doing any good deeds, from a beggar who was looked down upon by the world, to a famous liar in the world of children; from a timid and sensitive child, to the indifference of life and death. In a sense
, Kong Fei can be regarded as a "strong man" in his lifetime.
At the moment before his death, Kong Fei thought of a lot, and everything flashed before his eyes like a slideshow. However, when his last eyes met the concerned eyes of the girl in his arms, the corner of Kong Fei's mouth curled up,
Slowly close your eyes.
Ending his life in this way was considered to have no regrets. However, just when Kong Fei's soul left his body and his consciousness was about to disappear, the green-patterned gourd that had been hanging under his neck since birth and was as big as a fingertip suddenly burst apart.
, countless dark green rune stars invisible to the naked eye swarmed out from the broken green-patterned gourd, wrapping their souls and disappearing without a trace. After waking up, he has been a human for two lives and has become a third person in the world today.
Year-old baby.
The family name of my family in this life is also Kong, and there is an older brother, an older sister, and a younger sister, Kong Laosan, which is Kong Fei's name in this life.
For Kong Fei, who had never truly enjoyed blood and family ties in his previous life, his parents, brothers and sisters in this life are like gifts from God, and Kong Fei cherishes them very much.
However, happiness is always short-lived. When he was three years old, Kong Fei, who had just awakened the memory of his previous life, had not had time to enjoy the care of his father, mother, brother and sister, when a roaring mountain torrent poured down and destroyed everything.
My father was swept away by the ruthless flood in order to save his sister who fell into the water.
In order to survive, her mother packed her bags with her infant sister, a monk, and went to Hanzhou to join the eldest brother who was already married and whom Kong Laosan had only met once.
Natural disasters and man-made disasters, man-made disasters are better than natural disasters.
Halfway through the journey, bandits robbed the road again. Countless victims fled in panic. She and her mother were scattered by the panicked refugees.
Although he has been a man for two generations, his young age is still the biggest obstacle to his survival. Kong Laosan, with his short arms and short legs, naturally cannot outrun the desperate refugees. He is caught by the bandits who are chasing him and is taken to the mountain, ready to take him.
Come and cut off the heart and liver to serve as a side dish.
Perhaps his fate was not deserved. On the night when Kong Laosan was captured on the mountain, a Taoist priest with a ferocious face came to the mountain, took out a large black flag, and slaughtered all the bandits cleanly.
.
Just when Kong Laosan was secretly rejoicing and thought he had been saved, he never thought that the Taoist priest suddenly became ferocious and used ruthless tactics on the children who were caught on the mountain. He slapped them to death one by one. After a while, the children who were originally imprisoned together
Of the dozen or so children, only Kong Laosan was left hiding at the end.
The Taoist in front of him was obviously not a good person. The reason why he went to this bandit den to kill the bandits was probably to practice some kind of evil magic. Just when the Taoist raised his hand and was about to kill Kong Laosan, Kong Laosan made a quick decision and suddenly knelt down.
In front of the Taoist, he hugged the opponent's thigh and shouted "Master", and even in order to please the other person, he directly picked up the Yinhun flag that was two heads in front of him. He looked naive and stupid, but he was lucky enough to escape from the Taoist's hands.
Life.
Since then, Kong Laosan has been traveling around the world with the Taoist. The reason why he did not escape immediately was that on the one hand, he was young and would be in irreversible danger if he left rashly; on the other hand, it was also due to the Taoist's "cultivation".
I am rather curious about my identity, and I just want to steal some lessons while ensuring the safety of my own life.
After five years of pretending to be crazy, suffering hardships, and even being beaten and scolded by Taoists from time to time, all I wanted was an opportunity.
