On the day the expert picked up Guihong, it was raining heavily.
He ran out of the house directly after he woke up. He knew that the news that he was alive would spread soon, and Zuo Zhenmen would not let him go, so he started his escape journey in wet clothes, leaving the town and heading in the opposite direction of the big city. He fell down in the grass and fell asleep twice. When he woke up, he continued running. He ran a long way, but when he was just over a hill, it started to rain heavily. He slipped down the hill and broke his left foot. The old hunter went down the mountain to exchange for food. When he returned, through the misty rain and fog, he could detect his scent in the ravine with dense vegetation.
"It's not bad to survive like this, taking care of your family, right?"
Yin Guihong's breathing was a little rapid, every inch of his skin was tense, his body was as stiff as iron, but his heart was trembling fiercely. A few words made him confused, but his confusion was not only caused by these words, he knew it well. Words can be artificial, but memories are honest. Memories are like rocks under a clear pool being fiddled with indiscriminately, and the sand thrown up makes a life that has been settled for more than ten years dirty, and I can't calm down no matter what.
There can never be peace.
But he knew that this day would eventually come. Even if there is no monster visiting, he will personally open up all the jagged sides of the smooth stones, expose them, and smooth them over again - no matter what method is used.
"...I never wanted to live my life alone."
Lord Xueyue stood up slowly: "I am relieved that you are not using this as a high-sounding excuse to live alone. Then, who do you think your enemy is?"
"It's...Zuo Jinmen. No, it's the people who instigated them behind the scenes - but they are not innocent either."
"That's right...half of it."
The red light in Lord Xueyue's eyes was as blazing as the setting sun, and like fresh blood.
"If you have the consciousness to be an enemy to anyone, the skills you have learned are not enough. If you don't want this knife, fine, then I will lend it to you temporarily to make up for your many shortcomings. Now you... have to admit, Your skills are still very weak. You still need training, stronger weapons, and more information. I can give you all of these."
"What's in it for you?"
Although dominated by emotions, Yin Guihong did not lose his rationality. He astutely asked the question he wanted to ask from the beginning.
"It's just a coincidence that our opponents are the same person. So you can understand, right? It is naturally the most suitable to win over you. Is there anything doubtful about this?"
"……one person?"
Yin Guihong knew his shortcomings and was convinced of his reasons, but he didn't understand why it was "one person" and which person it was.
"Let me ask you one last question: Are you really ready to be an enemy to anyone?"
"Why should I say no?"
"I mean, anyone."
Yin Guihong's face sank. His temperament has always been straightforward, and the old hunter who says whatever he wants doesn't like to show off. It’s not a storyteller, so what kind of story is needed? Even when facing this terrifying monster, his tone showed no fear at all:
“I don’t like answering meaningless questions over and over again.”
"Very good! I really saw the person right. Such a personality is suitable for such an opponent. You two are somewhat similar."
His smile is like a red leaf that withers and burns in the fire. Before he could tell the answer, Yin Guihong seemed to realize something.
"Then let me tell you, you - me, our opponent... is a Six Path Impermanence."
Yin Guihong's heart tightened, what he said was exactly what he thought. After all, the only person who can make a person with great supernatural powers worry about impermanence, except for the one in Hades, is probably just another ordinary ghost. But who exactly?
"You don't seem surprised? At least, not as surprised as I guessed."
"Just now I realized this possibility."
"You can react faster next time." He laughed twice, and then said, "That Impermanence Ghost is difficult to deal with. In addition to his own high martial arts and proficiency in the Tao of Yin and Yang, the subordinates he leads are also the whole world. The oldest assassin organization in history, the most reputable...the best? The worst? Just think of it as, well, the best assassin organization. Well, at least it's better than it was a few hundred years ago."
"Are you saying that the leader of the Zuoji Sect is actually a six-path impermanence? This is impossible. How could people like you..."
how come? He paused mid-sentence. How could you do something so outrageous? It's hard for him to say, the monster in front of him doesn't look like a good guy. It is obviously unfair to find someone to do something against another colleague. Does Yama not care? Yin Guihong didn't know, he didn't do this, but he did feel strange. On the one hand, how could Zai Wu Chang, who was working for the common people anyway, lead such a murderous group of people? On the other hand, he also doubted that such an organization, which had existed stably for thousands of years, could even be from a famous family. There are very few of them, and they are indeed suitable to be left to impermanence, which has a long life.
"Why do you think the Zuojin Sect is still so well-established after so many years? But to be honest, they have indeed been severely purged internally. In the past, they mainly moved in pairs, but now they don't need it. After all, the mission The risk rate has been greatly reduced. In the past, many people indeed suspected that the Zuojin sect was led by Gu Jia Qianlong Shuangyue Jun. After all, he was a feared assassin. But after he left office... the Zuojin sect still exists, and people So he gave up his worries and just thought that their internal organization was well organized. In fact, this was not the case. This ghost place was still under the control of a certain impermanent person. A long time ago, the parents of this person had something to do with the Zuojinmen, which attracted his hatred. Logically speaking, he When one becomes the Impermanent, it is time to uproot this organization and make everyone pay for it with blood. But he is very smart, so smart that it makes me scared... Although he has liquidated several people who were most directly related to the death of his parents. guy, but he went to some trouble to get the entire organization into his pocket and use it for his own use. You understand, right? People's desires will never be satisfied. Power is like fine wine, once you have tasted it, you will never let it go. , just thinking about more. And even fine wine, if you drink too much... can make people poisoned, right?"
After listening to this long statement, Yin Guihong thought for a while.
"So this is the reason why you are against him?"
"That's right. One more thing: He doesn't want to see me, and it's not just a matter of a day or two. Although I didn't have any objection to him at first - I don't hate strong people. But sometimes, if I don't take the initiative, I'm afraid... You don’t start regretting until you’re in the coffin.”
Yin Guihong understood what he meant. However, there was something else he didn't understand.
"According to what you said, he was the culprit who killed my whole family? Rather than being hired by someone else?"
Lord Xueyue put the cigarette rod on the table, intertwined his fingers, straightened his arms with his backhand to stretch his muscles, lazily. Under the guidance of the old hunter, Yin Guihong was no longer an impatient person, but he could not help but feel anxious when he saw this kind of virtue.
"You know, you people with the surname Yin don't do much in human affairs."
"I know." Gui Hong said, "My adoptive father never mentioned it to me, but it's not like I never investigated in private. Although there were not many opportunities, I still learned some important information. Combined with what my parents did, I probably You know, when I was a child, my master’s family had been searching everywhere for the relics of the eight evil gods, which are collectively referred to as special magical artifacts. The spread of magical artifacts in the world must have touched the interests of many people."
"Well, then you must know how powerful these things are. As I just said, human greed is endless. In fact, they not only offended humans, but also alarmed that adult - the Lord of Naraku. These When the things were brought together thousands of years ago, a magic circle caused them to resonate, almost causing a terrible disaster. These things are now scattered everywhere and are not managed uniformly, but your Yin family wants to continue the evil Yuan, it’s really audacious to do something against heaven.”
"So the six paths of impermanence are here to deal with the Yin family?" Yin Guihong frowned, a little dissatisfied with this conclusion, "But why? My parents are duty-bound people who follow orders. There are seniors and juniors, even if they are against the master. If you complain about your family's tasks and want to rely on your skills to find another career, you will face the risk of betraying your master's family. When I grew up, I understood that although they looked good on the surface, they actually had no choice! The person who came up with the idea had to be arrested and dealt with No, that’s fine. What did my parents do wrong? Why can’t I let them go?”
"Let them go? Are you kidding me?" Lord Xueyue raised his eyebrows, "If the details of your huge family remember the whereabouts of the seven magic weapons, there is a possibility of resurgence. At this point, you also There’s no need to blame that gentleman, the mission must be impeccable. If others know about it, it’s okay; but the Yin family on the pirate ship can’t.”
"But my parents don't necessarily know everything? We are just a side branch!"
"Remember a melon in the east and a date in the west. If you grab them together, it's enough to make a fruit basket, right?"
"What about my brother and sister?!" Yin Guihong's voice rose, and the whites of his eyes turned red, "What do they know?! And my unborn little sister, she is so small, but so complete - I You can even see her little toes clearly... Who are they? What did they do wrong, and why did they die?!"
Lord Xueyue raised his eyes and looked at him with neither salt nor indifference. At this moment, he seemed speechless.
"Hmm... Indeed. Your parents are worried that the younger generation will be killed if he knows too much, so you know nothing about it. Logically speaking, there is no need to eradicate it. But this is the way of that guy. After all, you have to make sure nothing goes wrong. He even dares to kill gods. Isn’t it just as easy to kill you as killing a bug? Besides, it doesn’t mean that he has to be so vicious, so cruel, and so vicious. He is not that kind of person. , it can only be said that the discipline is ineffective. There are so many people in the Zuojin sect, so it’s normal that they can’t take care of them, right? As long as the result is what he wants, that’s enough for him.”
Yin Guihong felt it was unreasonable, but could not refute. After saying that, Lord Xueyue picked up the cigarette rod, walked around him, and walked a few steps in the room. He wandered to the cabinet door, opened the drawer, and skillfully took out something as if he were at home. Yin Guihong saw clearly that it was the mysterious pendant of unknown origin. He put it back again.
"I also felt it was a bit unfair. I asked around to see if there were any descendants in your family before I found you. When I saw that you were adopted, I stopped meddling in other people's business. But now that I see you going to seek revenge, it's better to say something wrong than to say something wrong. If I try to stop you, it would be better to... push you. This is what I stayed here in the past, and I started to pay attention to you from then on."
"I'm actually starting to appreciate you finding me."
"Thank you early. I have one last thing to tell you, and I got it from many inquiries."
As he said that, Lord Xueyue was already standing at the door, looking like he was about to leave. He stopped there, turned around, and the nightlight fell on him quietly. His eyebrows drooped, and he couldn't tell the difference between true and false sadness.
"You are weak and sick. It was your parents who misappropriated the Tridacna magic weapon without authorization. The golden part was left behind and polished into a string of Buddhist beads. They took the remaining materials and mixed the powder into your medicinal soup. You He was cured without treatment. It's a pity..."
The red dress disappeared into the night in a flash.
The demon knife named Jin Mieya was clearly placed on the table, but Yin Guihong felt as if his heart was cut by a knife. With the end of that last sentence, the "poison" spread to his limbs and bones.
It hurts the bones and marrow.
