"It's so late...what's so urgent?" In the lobby in the center of Yanluo Village, a ferocious-looking man was lying casually on a tiger-skin seat. He was also playing with an extremely ordinary copper plate in his hand, but he couldn't help but He didn't even look at the man kneeling in the hall.
Judging from his appearance, he is absolutely ordinary - his hair is very short and strange. Although with the opening up of Shengguo culture, both men and women can imitate the Xiegao people and cut their hair into short hair or other types of hairstyles, such as The front half is shaved and the back is left with long braids. However, this man’s messy short hair looks like he trimmed it himself with an ax or machete. Although it is short, it is uneven, with some slightly longer hair branches. The edges are raised, and patches of green skin are exposed in the short places. If this weird hairstyle is a personal preference, then the cyan birthmark in the middle of his nose is proof that he is born different from ordinary people - a large piece of cyan runs along the bridge of his nose almost across his entire face, until just under his eyes. A long and narrow mark was formed. Not only that, he also had many hideous scars all over his body, as if he had been burned.
"Go back to the village master..." Ma Mian was trembling just by kneeling in front of Qing-faced Yama. He also didn't look at Qing-faced Yama. The difference was that Qing-faced Yama didn't take Ma Mian seriously. Son, and Ma Mian really didn't dare to look at him out of fear.
"I accidentally found a peerless beauty recently. This beauty is from a good family in the town at the foot of Xiaoshan. Thinking that the village owner is not yet married, I specially wanted to offer it to the village owner as his wife..." Mamiandui Said with a smile. He knew that he, the leader of the village, was only interested in money and women, so he took advantage of him and wanted to lure him out of the village to attend the meeting.
The time set by He Nan was two ten days, one ten days was ten days, and tonight was already the nineteenth day. Ma Mian is also a very capable and scheming person. In the past two days, he visited Black and White Wuchang one after another, and successfully drew them into the "anti-Qingmian Yama" camp, and in Black and White Wuchang With the recommendation of the two men, Zuo Gui Wang was dragged into the water again. As for the Right Ghost King and the Second Master... The current Right Ghost King is loyal to Qing-faced Yama and has no intention of betraying his master, but the Second Master is a wily and calculating person. No one knows what he is thinking in his heart. He rashly It was too dangerous to get close to him, and I was afraid that unnecessary variables would occur, so I gave up.
So far, more than half of the top leaders of Yanluo Village have defected, and together with He Nan and the other three, they really have the power to fight.
"No..." After a long moment of silence, Qing-faced Yama said something incomprehensible.
"What's wrong?" Ma Mian was also confused.
Qing-faced Yama closed his eyes and seemed to be thinking about something: "You are not in the right state..."
"What you said should obviously be a great joy, and your expression is also very happy, but why can I feel such great fear from it?"
"Not only that, there is also a trace of uneasiness in your fear, and... secret joy?" Qing-faced Yama opened his eyes, and his light shot out like two bolts of lightning towards the horse's face.
Qing-faced Yama is exactly thirty-two this year, and his real name is Cheng Qingshu.
Cheng Qingshu's childhood was relatively happy. He was born in a very ordinary family in the Central Plains. Although it was not rich, it was very warm. Cheng Qingshu's father was a blacksmith, and his mother died of dystocia after giving birth to him. His father did not abandon or dislike him because of his unattractive birthmark on his face, nor did he express his anger at his wife's death. His son, on the contrary, was particularly kind to him. Because my father is a kind person, he often helps the villagers make farm tools and farm in his spare time, so the elders and children in the village will not discriminate against him or bully him, and the villagers are very harmonious.
But the good times did not last long. When he was seven years old, the small village was robbed and the whole village was massacred by bandits. This group of people did not understand "sustainability" like the bandits on Wohu Mountain in Wei Kui's hometown. "Development", they are a group of wanted fugitives, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are gangsters. When passing by this village, they suddenly killed all the villagers, old and young.
Cheng Qingshu's father was drinking at the village chief's house at the time. How could he have imagined that the "heroes" entertained by the village chief were all cunning villains with several lives in their hands. These people started killing each other at the dinner table. Cheng Qingshu's father endured the pain all over his body and returned home desperately, hiding Cheng Qingshu, who was still a child at the time, behind the forge. Only then did he survive the burns. The brand scar was also left behind at that time and remains with him to this day.
After losing his parents and becoming an orphan, Cheng Qingshu also became the only survivor in the village and began his wandering career. He ran to the nearest county town and became a beggar to make a living by begging, but beggars are not that easy. It is human instinct to divide territories, even beggars are no exception. Cheng Qingshu, a foreign "monk", naturally cannot He went to other people's "temples" to recite sutras, so he was beaten by many beggars since he entered the city. In addition to the difficulty of begging, he was often despised and bullied by other people in the county, especially Children of the same age as him - they bullied him for being ugly, bullying him for having no money, bullying him for the scars all over his body, bullying him for the stench that could not be removed...
He had traveled to many places to beg in those years, but the people in each place felt familiar to him - what was familiar was not the kindness, but the consistent disgust with which they treated him.
He felt that everyone in the world was the same, full of benevolence, justice and morality, but full of male thieves and female prostitutes. Although there were a very few people who looked at him pitifully and gave him a bite to eat, he hated the pity in the eyes of those people even more.
Cheng Qingshu is a naturally strong person. His father and fellow villagers didn't care about his ugly birthmark, but he did; his father didn't mind that his birth led to his mother's death, but he always cared about it. The death of his father and the hardships of his life as a beggar did not make him despair, but made him understand a truth - it is difficult to be a good person. In this world, there is no way out to be a good person. Only by being rich and powerful can you get ahead. And the shortest way to be rich and powerful is to be a bad person.
But is it so difficult to be a beggar, let alone a villain? He took the initiative to go to the village near the county town and told people that he wanted to join the gang, but he was ridiculed by the bandits - a little kid with no hair on his head actually wanted to be a bandit, licking blood with a knife like this day? However, the owner of this village found this little guy interesting, so he asked him: "Do you dare to kill someone? If you kill a person and bring his head to me, I will accept you as my apprentice."
In fact, the owner of the cottage didn't really want to take in the kid. He just said casually that he wanted to send him away. But he never expected that Cheng Qingshu, a young boy of fourteen or fifteen years old, would actually take his joke seriously.
Now that he had received the instructions from the bandit leader, Cheng Qingshu naturally took this matter to heart, so he tried his best to kill a child king in the county who always bullied him, and then killed this kid who was the same age as him. The child's head was cut off and used as a certificate of surrender. He carried the head and ran to the village to return to his life. During the entire killing process, Cheng Qingshu didn't say a word, and he didn't even have the slightest wave of emotion in his heart. He just thought that if he became a bandit, he could get rid of the life of being bullied and live a happy life.
The owner of the cottage was of course shocked. In addition to being shocked by the child's cruelty, he was even more shocked by the child's eyes - the child seemed to have no emotion at all, his eyes were so insensitive, The ancient well has no waves.
Of course Cheng Qingshu has feelings, but his feelings have long been exhausted by these years of experience.
After confirming that Cheng Qingshu was killing someone for the first time, the village leader finally showed great interest in him, because this child was really suitable to be a bad guy, and at the same time, the village leader felt that he was too scary - if this child He is really a tool without emotion. Will he kill himself like this one day?
Out of such considerations, he adopted Cheng Qingshu as his adopted son and taught him martial arts, hoping to warm up this cold stone so that he could use it for his own use. Cheng Qingshu was very talented in martial arts, but he never had the talent. Show it. In fact, when he was less than twenty years old, his martial arts had surpassed that of his adoptive father, but due to face and other reasons, he still pretended to be inferior to his adoptive father.
The fate is really ridiculous and sad - the thieves and bandits caused Cheng Qingshu's family to be destroyed and displaced, but it was the thieves who made him reborn and regain a new life; Cheng Qingshu's enemy was the bandit, but he did not expect that in the end he became his own enemy with peace of mind.
Cheng Qingshu loves money very much, because he was really poor when he was a beggar. During those years of living as a beggar, all he could get was leftovers and rotten rice. When he got a copper plate by chance, he wanted to break it into ten petals and spend it. , but in the end he was not willing to spend the copper coin, but kept it on himself; he also loved beautiful women, because no woman was willing to approach him before, and those beautiful ladies with rich money were all hiding from him when they saw him. Covering his face and nose, he hid far away. Out of this revengeful mentality, he also loved to abuse those women from good families.
Moreover, he also developed a habit of trimming his hair very short for no other reason than that when he was a beggar, he naturally had no money and no barber was willing to trim his hair, which was greasy and full of dirt. Long hair made him feel sick, so he always trimmed it himself with iron pieces he picked up. He still maintains this habit to this day, just to remind himself of his past downfall.
But what Cheng Qingshu likes most is the awe-inspiring look in other people's eyes when they see him, full of respect, fear, admiration and jealousy. Whether these people regarded him as a ghost or a god, he didn't really care. He simply enjoyed the completely opposite attitude of these people towards him from before. He used to be despised, hated, and laughed at by others, but now those people can only look up and respect him. Of course, he knows that those people still look down on him in their hearts, but as long as he can see them nodding and bowing to him, Appearance is enough.
Later, the village where he was located was captured and annihilated by officers and soldiers. He escaped unharmed with his good martial arts skills. He didn't even care about the death of his adoptive father, and he never thought about revenge. With his own strength, he changed the village to become the leader of the village. He also drinks spicy food that is equally popular, so why can’t he think of getting into trouble with the errand? As long as they don't take the initiative to find you, that's fine.
To be fair, although Cheng Qingshu's adoptive father was wary at first, he still taught and cultivated him carefully, and even planned to pass the position of the next master of the village to him in a hundred years. It's a pity that Cheng Qingshu never took this so-called foster father into his heart from the beginning. In his heart, this foster father was just using himself, so he also used his foster father to grab money. He even colluded with a confidant around his adoptive father and planned to kill his adoptive father so that he could ascend to the throne in advance. If it weren't for the officers and soldiers to suppress the bandits, he might have already taken action.
After the village was destroyed, he fled with three of his cronies, and finally selected the treasure land of Xiaoshan. He defeated the four big bandits who occupied Xiaoshan at that time with one against four, and unified all the forces in Xiaoshan into what it is today. He also nicknamed himself "Qing-faced Yama". The adoptive father's confidant has now become his confidant. This man is good at making suggestions and is naturally appointed as a strategist by him. The other two powerful confidants are entrusted to control the Ghost King. The four original leaders of Xiaoshan are also appointed by him based on their characteristics. They took the ghost's nickname and guarded a corner of Xiaoshan to wait for his orders.
After finally owning his own cottage, Qing-faced Yama even intensified his efforts to seize money and women, and even made countless rules for this purpose: for example, at least half of the looted property must be handed over to himself every time. In hand, the remaining half will be distributed according to hierarchy; all the women snatched are allowed to be enjoyed by themselves first before being thrown to their subordinates, and they are still enjoyed in order according to status...
The former Right Ghost King was killed by Qing-faced Yama because he made false accounts and embezzled property - even if he was a capable subordinate, he would kill him as long as he dared to take his share of the money.
He is now the king of the country and has no shortage of money and women. It can even be said that he spends money like water and has thousands of dollars in his pocket. There is also a pile of gold and jade in the warehouse, but he still feels unsatisfied.
This has also led to the current situation - his men have long been dissatisfied with him and want to overthrow him completely.
But now Ma Mian can clearly feel that Qing Mian Yan Luo seems to have completely seen through his own thoughts - judging from Qing Mian Yan Luo's experience over the years, it seems to be really easy to see through a person's authenticity.
