"In order not to let others suspect me," Yang Jianen continued, "I tidied up the rental house and rented it out …"
"Then, I began to prepare my revenge plan and determined the target of my revenge. Actually, from the very beginning …" Yang Jianen looked at Zhao Yu, then said with resentment, "I was already prepared to use the Ghost King Log to carry out this case. If I walk the path of ghosts, I will be surrounded by ghosts!
"Dressing up the dead as devils could speed up their atonement process in the underworld, allowing Mi Rou to ascend to paradise earlier. Moreover, it could also suppress the souls of the dead, preventing them from turning into malicious ghosts to harm me!"
"You …" Hearing this, Zhao Yu couldn't help but ask, "What is your relationship with the Ghost King Log and Tao Yulan?"
"Relationship?" Yang Jianen raised the corners of his lips slightly, revealing a strange expression. "I have nothing to do with Tao Yulan, but I am very familiar with the Ghost King Log!"
Oh?
Her words made Zhao Yu even more puzzled and puzzled.
"Everyone in Sichuan knows about the famous Tao Yulan, but very few people know that he has an apprentice, Qi Shengrong!" Yang Jianen said. "And Qi Shengrong … is my godfather!!!"
Oh?
Zhao Yu observed Yang Jianen's expression carefully, but didn't see any flaws. It seemed that he wasn't lying.
Zhao Yu already knew that Qi Shengrong was Tao Yulan's apprentice, but he didn't know that he was Yang Jianen's godfather!
"My father was a cart driver, and my mother died early …" Yang Jianen recalled. "When I was a child, my father often left me at Qi Shengrong's house, and they took care of me. Over time, I took advantage of the situation and recognized them as my godparents!"
"At that time, I often stayed at Qi Shengrong's house, sometimes for a few months at a time. I was almost like his son!
Later, under his influence, I entered the troupe to study and perform. It could be said that I was more influenced by Old Qi than my father!
Also, I knew a lot of secrets about Old Qi that no one knew! For example, Tao Yulan and the Ghost King Log …
Old Qi often told me stories about his childhood, and he even showed me the Ghost King Log that he treasured until now! "
"He said that Tao Yulan was his master, and that he had learned from Tao Yulan.
"Later, Tao Yulan was arrested by the police because of the Ghost King case. For some reason, the Ghost King Record fell into his hands, and he has been treasuring it ever since …
"In addition to singing, he also knew a lot about the reincarnation of the Ghost Dao. I was influenced by him since I was young, so I learned a lot about it. Later on, I became addicted to it …
"Look at the portraits of the Ghost King on the walls of my house. They were all drawn by me. I don't believe that people become ghosts after death, but I believe that the Ghost Dao is reincarnation. There is a Dao in the world, and the Ghost Dao is also a Dao …"
Then, Yang Jianen talked about a lot of things related to the Ghost Path. Zhao Yu couldn't stand it anymore, so he gestured for him to continue talking about the Ghost King Case.
"The relationship between our two families has always been good, but … Something happened later, which made us estranged …" Yang Jianen continued. "You can say that our two families can be called opera families!
"Other than my father, everyone else is an opera singer …
Qi Shengrong's son was two years older than me, and he was also in the same opera troupe as me. We were like brothers, and later, we both found our partners, who were also actors in Sichuan Opera!
"What was even more coincidental was that in the same year, our family had Ah Mei, and Qi Hao was born in their family … At that time, Old Master Qi was so happy that he kept trying to matchmake us. He wanted us to have a child marriage so that our two families would be even closer …
"Unfortunately … Sigh …" Yang Jianen shook his head and sighed. "A sudden car accident changed everything!
One day, more than ten years ago, the opera troupe had an important performance in Yichuan. As I didn't have a part in the play, I didn't go with them. My wife and Qi Hao's parents took the same car to Yichuan!
"In the end, there was a landslide on the way, and the car fell into the cliff. Everyone died …"
"Oh?
That's what happened?! "
Zhao Yu exclaimed. Before this, he only knew that Qi Hao's parents had been involved in a car accident, but he didn't expect that Yang Jianen's wife was in the car …
"The sudden change in our family was undoubtedly a huge disaster for those of us who were still alive. I couldn't understand it," Yang Jianen continued. "Although we lost our closest relatives, we should have been closer. But I don't know why, from then on, Old Man Qi seemed to have become a different person. He became more and more distant from our family, until later, he almost cut off all contact with us …"
"I tried to improve my relationship with Old Man Qi, but he rejected me coldly … From then on, although our two families lived very close, we rarely had any contact with each other …" Zhao Yu continued.
"After Old Man Qi passed away, we became even more estranged …"
"This … This is the relationship between me, the Ghost King Log, and Tao Yulan!" Yang Jianen said. "After Old Man Qi passed away, the Ghost King Log was in the hands of his grandson, Qi Hao …"
Zhao Yu listened carefully. Seeing that Yang Jianen had paused, he was worried that he was thinking of lying, so he hurriedly asked, "Then … What happened next? What happened next? "
"Then … Oh …" Yang Jianen came back to his senses and said, "Let's continue talking about Mi Rou! In order to avenge Mi Rou, I had already planned to use the Ghost King Log to commit the crime! "
"I felt that by doing so, I was also responding to Tao Yulan. According to my godfather, Tao Yulan didn't kill people for no reason, but there was a reason behind it!"
"In his impression, Tao Yulan was an amiable person, not a homicidal maniac. The reason why he committed the Ghost King Case was because he wanted justice. As for what justice it was, he didn't know!"
"After all, at that time, my godfather was still young … He only knew that those who were killed by Tao Yulan were all sinners. Tao Yulan used the Ghost Way to ask for their lives, so that they could repent and atone for their evil deeds …"
"Or …" Zhao Yu saw that Yang Jianen was going off topic again, so he quickly reminded him to get back on track. "Let's continue with the previous topic. Next, you started killing people?"
"No!" Yang Jianen said. "I had never killed anyone before. Killing people is not an easy thing to do. Moreover, I had to kill people in the same way as the Ghost King Case.
"Of course, I was very conflicted. After thinking about it for a long time, it was difficult for me to make up my mind! To be honest, at the last moment, I was actually shaken. After all, Mi Rou and I were not related at all. It was just that … that special relationship … Was it worth it … Was it worth it to sacrifice the rest of my life? "
"However, the will of the heavens is playing tricks on people, and the fate of ghosts … Just when I was most conflicted, another thing happened, and it made me make up my mind again!
