After Zhou Yuen left, I took a good rest. I was tired after driving the train all night. I must maintain sufficient physical strength so that I can respond to danger at any time.
After I woke up, I received a call from an old beggar. He had arrived in Kyoto.
This guy came here just to borrow money. He was completely empty. The most valuable things were probably the cell phone and a broken bowl in his hand.
But he didn't beg when he went to Beijing. I didn't know why, but the purpose of borrowing money surprised me. It was actually to buy ingot candles and paper money, so that he could pay homage to his relatives.
Only then did I understand that Kyoto might be the old beggar’s hometown. Did he live here before? No wonder he didn’t beg when he returned to Kyoto. He went back to his hometown to enjoy noodles.
I said money was no problem, but we had to meet up first, and I still had things for him to do.
It is not easy to kill the eight major consortiums, because they are already prepared. This is different from Ying Lian, after all, Ying Lian was the one who tricked me to death without any precautions.
The Ghost Emperor is no longer here. If I don't have help anymore, it will be difficult for me to kill another person from the Eight Major Financial Groups.
The old beggar told me an address, and I hurriedly disguised myself and hurried there. He was waiting for me in a "Dead Man" shop.
The old beggar didn't change at all, he still looked the same. When he saw me, he just said hello briefly, and then went into the store to pick something. This old guy was really rude.
He bought a lot of things. Can this person spend all of it down there? Fortunately, I have freedom of wealth, otherwise I would have to bury him to death, because the things in this kind of "dead man" shop are not cheap at all. They say they are borrowing money.
, in fact, he didn’t have to pay it back at all, it was like having sex for nothing.
But later I realized that the old beggar was not worshiping one person, but the whole family.
Parents, wife, two children, one sister, one brother, a family of seven, all died!
When the old beggar was kneeling in front of the grave, he didn't have any emotion or speak. He just kept burning paper money. The calmer he looked on the outside, the more painful he felt inside.
He looked at the familiar names on each tombstone, his eyes dimmed, he burned the things he bought one by one, and then weeded the graves.
"How did you die?" I asked curiously.
Although asking this will bring up his sad story, people are curious animals, and I didn't expect that the old beggar was actually from Kyoto. Although this place is full of outstanding people and resources, the competition is also extremely fierce, and all seven members of the family died.
It's not like a natural death.
"Being under a hysterical spell, one will either die of illness or commit suicide. No one in the family of seven will be spared."
When the old beggar mentioned the sad events of that year, his heart seemed to have calmed down, and his face said that it was over.
"Who did it? Is it revenge?" I asked again.
The old beggar shook his head: "If that's the cause, if that's the effect, I killed a lot of people back then, and they just came to seek revenge. When I was young, Kyoto was more chaotic than it is now. People competed for money, power, and women. The biggest enemy of the Yin people is not
It’s a ghost, but a human being! At that time, people who climbed high had their hands stained with blood. I just woke up too late.”
The old beggar is indeed an elderly man, and he speaks with profound insights.
I asked him: "If I give you a chance to start over, will you still take the same path?"
I am asking him this question, and I am also asking myself. The path I am taking now is no different from that of the old beggar, and it is even more crooked. If I make a mistake, I will not be the only one to die. Qiangwei, Zhu Laojiu, and Eagle Eye Lao Qi
, Zhou Hao, Yu Yan, all the people who followed me did not end well.
Just like the old beggar, all seven members of the family were killed in battle! If one boy makes a mistake, he loses everything, and if he goes out to mess around, he may have to pay back sooner or later!
The old beggar smiled, then looked at the tombstones and replied: "Yes!"
He spoke resolutely, as if he had never regretted it, but when he looked at the tombstone, there was guilt in his eyes.
"Young people have great ambitions, and everyone has been young. No matter how many times, I am still me!" The old beggar looked at me with eyes full of wisdom, as if he was talking about me, but also seemed to be talking about himself.
That's right, a young man's ambition is rewarded by drinking the strongest wine and riding the strongest woman!
"Then why are you still helping me kill people now? Aren't you afraid of karma?"
He is the only one left, shouldn't he cherish his miserable life?
"Hahaha, that's different. I don't have a choice to repay the favor. Besides, I don't have any reason to be afraid of death now. I can just do whatever I want. Living is one day at a time. If I die, it won't be the same for me.
What a bad thing."
"In a hundred years of solitude, there is no joy in life and no fear in death."
The old beggar seems to have seen through everything, but not completely, and has seen through life and death, but he still cares about the world, as if he has become a beggar and still wants to be a decent person when he returns to his hometown.
Perhaps, this is the person in the world of mortals! The eminent monks in the temple will also wear beautiful cassocks, not to mention the people in the world of mortals. There are some things that people can never get rid of. People are always human!
"Tell me what you want me to do! According to the rules, I will only do one thing for you."
After the old beggar burned all the sacrifices, he started to get down to business with me.
"If you are a native of Kyoto, you should have heard of the Eight Major Financial Groups, right?" I asked.
The old beggar frowned: "Eight major financial groups? Never heard of them."
Isn’t it right? The out-and-out Kyoto people don’t know about the eight major financial groups?
"How long have you been away from Kyoto?" I asked the old beggar.
The old beggar sighed: "I don't remember, many years have passed in the blink of an eye, but it seems that the head of your family just passed away that year. I heard that he was assassinated by his own family. What is the name of the current head of the family..."
"Su Ting!"
"Yes, it seems to be him. I met him before, but I didn't expect that this boy has become the head of the family. He must be a bad old man now, right? Time flies so fast!"
The old beggar sighed with emotion, as if he was reminiscing about his youth. He was from Su Ting's time, but now they are all old men.
In this way, the old beggar left Kyoto quite a long time ago. At that time, the living standards of the people in the country were not very good. Where did the financial groups come from? It is normal that he does not know the eight major financial groups.
"You left Kyoto too early. I don't blame you if I don't know you. The consortium probably only existed in the past ten or twenty years!"
The old beggar hummed, and then asked: "What are their names? Let me see if I can remember them."
"They all have the surnames of former emperors. From Yingzheng in the Qin Dynasty to Aisin Gioro in the Qing Dynasty, there are eight of them. One of them is named Ying Lian. I just killed him a few days ago. The other seven want to take revenge, but I
We need to kill one more person to resolve this crisis."
