At this moment, still under the starry sky, in Qian Chao's small courtyard, lights shine through the doors and windows.
After a busy day, when he was free, Qian Chao thought about Senior Brother Wu Ku. When he thought of Senior Brother Wu Ku, he thought of the fragments of the map he had picked up outside Chengqi Hall, so he took them out, piece by piece. Spread it out on the desk and piece it together into a complete map.
When he was talking to Senior Brother Cheng during the day, he saw Senior Brother Wu Gu looking for something in a hurry. What he almost found were the fragments of the map on the desk. He didn't know who tore it into pieces during their quarrel, but if this map was important, Why didn't you pick it up immediately when it was torn into pieces? Where did they go after the quarrel? Why did Senior Brother Wu Gu rush to find these map fragments later?
According to the rules, a treasure map like this can only be sold once, and selling it twice is considered deceiving. Senior Brother Wu Gu then hurriedly looked for these fragments, and there were several possibilities.
The first is that Senior Brother Luan Xiuzhang did not deceive Senior Brother Wu Gu. They searched according to the map and found the cave in the picture, but there was nothing there. That's why Senior Brother Luan became angry and thought he had been deceived, so he came to argue with Senior Brother Wu.
The second is that Senior Brother Luan did not find the cave in the picture. They also found a cave outside, but that cave was wrong. It was not the one marked in the picture, and the cave in the picture was still outside quietly. While waiting for others to take away the treasures inside, Senior Brother Wu Gu discovered this, so he hurriedly looked for these map fragments.
The third brother, Brother Wu, may have returned the spirit stone that Brother Luan Xiuzhang and the others bought for the map, but Brother Wu thought that Brother Luan had found the wrong one and that the map was still valuable, so he returned to look for the fragments of the map to avoid the secrets on it. If it leaks out, he might not plan to sell it, and he might not know whether he plans to go to the cave by himself.
The Fourth Senior Brother Luan was indeed deceived. They found the cave outside and there were things in it, but those things could not offset the cost of buying such a map. That’s why they came to Brother Wu and deliberately said that there was nothing inside to blackmail them. Brother Wu.
But no matter what, it seems that this map is very important to Senior Brother Wu, and he still has to come back to find it after it was torn into pieces. At that time, Qian Chao was hesitant. He should return it to Senior Brother Wu. He had already seen the map. It was estimated that Senior Brother Wu would not be willing even if he did not mention it. He would also doubt whether he would secretly go to the cave to retrieve the treasure. . Don't pay it back... It's not a problem if you don't pay it back. It doesn't matter. In order to feel at ease, it's the worst that I can do if I don't go there.
Thinking of this, Qian Chao burned some of the fragments to ashes in the light.
However, when he picked up the pen, he drew another map on the paper, which was exactly the same as the one drawn on the burned piece of paper. Qian Chao smiled. His memory was so good that it was difficult to forget it after seeing it, so he continued Burn this one too.
After laughing, Qian Chao took out a book from his storage bag to read. These books were all given to him by Senior Brother Bai Rili. Although there are many books in Jiuxuan's library, they record some of the most important things in the world of cultivation like this. There are very few anecdotes.
The book he was holding in his hand was titled "Supplement to the Lingchuan Family". It was also a thick book. When Qian Chao turned to the first page, he discovered that the first chapter was called "The Record of Evil Persons". It must have recorded all of them. My interest in some of the stories about evildoers increased, so I read them carefully.
The first story records the story of a son of a noble family.
There is a large aristocratic family in Lingchuan, the Xing family. The Xing family has a son named Xing Kuan. Although this person has the word "kuan" in his name, he is a narrow-minded, cruel and capricious person.
Xing Kuan's evil deeds were well known in the local cultivation circles in Lingchuan at that time. The book records that this person's cultivation level has reached the foundation. Relying on his own power, he colluded with a group of unscrupulous sons from nearby aristocratic families. Doing evil all day long. They either bully some weak aristocratic families, extort money, or break in to rob them; or when they meet a spiritual practitioner passing by alone on the road, they will surround and rob them. If the person who is robbed expresses dissatisfaction or resists, it will attract They lost their temper, at least injuring each other, and at worst, killing each other in the abandoned corpse wilderness. Over time, he committed numerous murders.
During the years when Xing Kuan was rampant in Lingchuan, many small aristocratic families were bullied by them or moved away or disappeared. However, the Xing family is a big aristocratic family. Even if some people are angry, there is no one. Dare to speak out, and no one dares to stop it.
But one day, disaster befell the Xing family. I don’t know who the Xing family offended because of something. One night, disaster fell from the sky. A group of strange monks with advanced cultivation attacked the Xing family at night. The Xing family hurriedly responded to the challenge but were completely defeated. Almost all the people at home were killed by the strange monks. The family's treasures were looted, and the huge manor was burned to the ground in the fire.
Xing Kuan escaped because he was hanging out and not at home.
However, the Xing family was destroyed, and Xing Kuan's support was gone. From then on, he became a bereaved dog.
Previously, among the group of delinquent sons who were hanging out together, Xing Kuan's family was the most powerful, so everyone followed him. Previously, the proceeds were either extortion or robbery. There has long been dissatisfaction among these people. Now that the Xing family is gone, these people's cold eyes have turned to Xing Kuan.
Xing Kuan was also smart. He first told lies to scare these former companions, and then ran away in a hurry.
Xing Kuan thought to himself that he had done too many evil things in the past and had enemies all over the place. Now even his former companions were chasing him. Is there really no place for him in Lingchuan? Do you really want to travel far away from now on?
But he still found a place to go, Lou's house in Lingchuan.
Although the Lou family is not as powerful as the Xing family in Lingchuan, it is still a large aristocratic family. In order to form an alliance with the Xing family, the Lou family took the initiative to propose marriage and wanted to marry one of their daughters to Xing Kuan.
It's just that those things happened before the Xing family was destroyed. Now that I came to seek shelter in such a mess, can people accept me? Looking at the Lou family's Zhuangzi, Xing Kuan also had worries in his heart.
Whatever, it's important to survive first, at worst, just endure it for a while before making any plans.
Xing Kuan did not dare to enter the Lou family in a ostentatious manner, so he sneaked in. However, he was discovered and surrounded by people from the Lou family halfway, and then he rushed to the front of the head of the Lou family with all his strength.
The head of the Lou family dismissed the people who gathered around him, and then took Xing Kuan into a secret room, where Xing Kuan knelt down and begged the head of the Lou family to take him in and protect him out of the kindness of the Xing family in the past.
The head of the Lou family naturally knew about the Xing family's affairs. At this time, he felt somewhat pitiful about Xing Kuan. After all, this boy had a marriage agreement with his own daughter. Of course, this agreement must not be counted now. Secondly, I do care about the affection the Xing family had for the Lou family in the past. The third thing is that although this Xing Kuan has a bad reputation, he is now desperate and will be strictly restrained in the future. If used properly, he will be a good dog!
Thinking of this, the head of the Lou family agreed, but he had to change his appearance and name to avoid trouble.
In this way, Xing Kuan hid in the Lou family.
The Lou family naturally knew his background. Although the older ones said nothing, the younger ones sneered at Xing Kuan, looked at him with blank eyes, and even said bad words to him. However, this Xing Kuan seems to have changed since then. He greets everyone with a smile, flatters everyone, and responds to requests. Anyone who meets him for the first time would just think that this Xing Kuan is a simple, honest and kind-hearted person.
In this way, Xing Kuan stayed in the Lou family for thirty years.
Thirty years is not a long time for a monk, but the practitioners in Lingchuan have gradually begun to forget about the previous affairs of the Xing family.
In the past thirty years, Xing Kuan worked hard in the Lou family. Even though the head of the Lou family tried him several times, he was not moved. This made the Lou family gradually feel relieved about him. Later, some things in the family also affected him. Over time, he became a powerful person in the Lou family, and he was able to participate in some confidential matters.
Later, the daughter of the Lou family who was supposed to marry Xing Kuan according to the marriage contract got married and married into a wealthy family in a distant place. Although Xing Kuan hated her deeply, he happily ran around to help her in front of others. .
It was only late at night, when no one was around, that his originally modest and honest face showed a deep and sinister look.
Later, when the head of the Lou family failed to achieve a breakthrough in cultivation and knew that his life span was not long, the matter of selecting a successor for his family came to the table.
There were four sons of the Lou family selected, so the competition was naturally very fierce. Among them, the third son, who was the least powerful and had the least chance of winning, somehow fell in love with Xing Kuan. Perhaps he saw through the fullness hidden under Xing Kuan's honest appearance. With a treacherous heart, he secretly approached Xing Kuan and said that as long as Xing Kuan helped him obtain the position of head of the family, he would definitely give him generous gifts.
After Xing Kuan thought about it for a while, he agreed.
At this time, Xing Kuan had been staying in the Lou family for nearly a year. After such a long time, the Lou family had long forgotten his origin and his evil deeds, and only regarded Xing Kuan as a harmless person.
Unexpectedly, Xing Kuan set up poisonous schemes for the third young master one after another. Not only did he kill the eldest son who had the greatest hope in the Lou family, he also caused the fourth young master with advanced cultivation to lose all his cultivation and become a useless person.
Members of the family were killed one after another, and the Lou family's vitality was also damaged. It can be said that God will never destroy the Lou family. The head of the Lou family, who was dying soon, accidentally saw the clues and traced it all the way. Finally, he found out that the culprit behind it was the third young master, and the person who gave him these vicious tricks turned out to be Xing Kuan!
Xing Kuan escaped again. This time he really had no place to stand. Not only the Lou family, but also the small families he had bullied before were also tracing his whereabouts. In desperation, he and some evil-minded people Loose cultivators mingled together.
None of those casual cultivators had any concern for being taught by aristocratic families, and the vicious methods they used to do things made people blush. Xing Kuan was like a fish in water among them, either coming up with ideas or taking the lead, and over time he became the leader of the group of casual cultivators. Then he took these casual cultivators back to Lingchuan, relying on his familiarity with this place. Within half a year, not only did he severely inflict heavy damage on the Lou family, but also several aristocratic families who had pursued him the most fiercely before were also retaliated by him. Some of them were Several families were still in disaster. Since then, their families have been ruined and their families have disappeared from the world of practice.
In desperation, the tortured Lingchuan families united to deal with this group of rogue cultivators, and finally killed these rogue cultivators and scattered them. Xing Kuan was also captured because of his serious injuries.
On the ruins of the Xing family, Xing Kuan suffered a thousand swords piercing his heart and finally died there.
The book writes that Xing Kuan continued to laugh while being tortured, and no one dared to look directly at the viciousness in his eyes.
The story ends here.
No wonder it ranked first in the list of villains. Qian Chao secretly thought after reading this. Thinking of this, his heart moved. For no reason, he remembered the scene he saw when he returned from outside the sect: Brother Dusha was slapped across the face and staggered. !
Qian Chao didn't know what happened to Dusha to make him so depressed now. He looked like he had been bullied at that time, right? However... Qian Chao's eyes once again saw the cruelty in Dusha's little eyes when he forcibly bought his spiritual sword. He is not a kind person. As he is now, he is afraid that he will gain power in the future and take revenge on those people. When people come, their methods will definitely be fierce and cruel!
Just as he was thinking about it, Qian Chao suddenly heard a knock on the door of his courtyard. Who could come so late?
