Tong Chan was stunned, he didn't expect him to use this matter to make fun of him. He sighed, "I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed. Benefactor Jiang is right. Others all praise me for my profound Buddhist teachings, but only I know that I'm getting more and more confused from reading those Buddhist scriptures. Becoming a monk isn't about letting go of worldly entanglements, it's about escaping. Alas, the matters of the world, love, hate, and parting, are often caused by the word 'love'. Although my Buddhist name is Tong Chan, I've at most scratched the surface of the truth of Zen. How can I dare to say that I'm proficient? However, it's easier said than done to understand the word 'proficiency'. "
Jiang Liechen said coldly, "Then shouldn't you change your Buddhist name?" Just change it to 'Dog Fart Tong'. He dared to say this to any senior monk of the 'Tong' generation, but for some reason, he didn't dare to be rude in front of Master Tong Chan.
Tong Chan wasn't angry, he said, "The Seven Evils Treasure sounds magical, but in fact, other than increasing greed and endless bloodshed, it doesn't really bring any benefits to people. If you two don't mind, I'd like to tell you a real story. It'll definitely be helpful. "Jiang Liechen said," Forget it, I've never liked listening to stories. " Tong Chan said, "I'm not a talkative person, or maybe I've been depressed for years. Recently, I've met you two, so I've always wanted someone to talk to me more."
Jiang Liechen snorted, "If you're willing to promise to hand over the Soul of Mourning to me later, I'll listen to you patiently even if there are ten stories, let alone one."
Tong Chan didn't comment, he said, "After you've heard it, it's up to you whether you want it or not. Some things are treasures, but they're actually the root of disaster.
Before the Ming Dynasty, there was a poor little apprentice in the capital. His mother died when he was young, and his father was a gambler who lost all of his family's wealth. Every time he didn't get his way, his father would often whip him. Later, his father was beaten to death by creditors who came looking for him. He wandered the streets all day, hungry and full, relying on the little skills he had to make ends meet.
He worked diligently, but the customers who came to his door relied on their wealth and looked down on this beggar-like child. They often teased and teased him, and he was often beaten up. Not only that, every time the shoes were mended, the customers would also nitpick and complain about the few copper coins they paid.
At that time, the world was in chaos, and there were many uncivilized heroes who rebelled, but he did not know the least bit of martial arts. Even if he wanted to seek refuge, no one would take him in. A few years passed in a daze. It was still a snowy night in winter. The snow had never fallen so heavily before. He couldn't afford a steamed bun. Hungry and cold, he fainted on the side of the road. He knew he was going to die this time, but it was also good. All the troubles of the secular world had nothing to do with him anymore.
However, there seemed to be a pair of gentle hands patting him while he was unconscious, calling out to him. When he opened his eyes, he saw a bright and beautiful girl squatting in front of him. He had never seen such a beautiful girl before. For a moment, he was stunned, as if he was no longer in this world. He thought he had died and his soul had returned to the heavens. The girl in front of him was a fairy.
When the girl saw that he was awake, her face lit up. It turned out that she had saved his life with a bowl of hot porridge. Afterwards, she had taken him to the tailor shop to make some new clothes to change into. In these past few years, he had been beaten and scolded, but he had never experienced a bit of warmth. That girl was not related to him, but she was able to treat him like this. At that time, this girl was deeply engraved in his heart, and he was destined to never forget her.
That girl seemed to have something to do in the capital, so she stayed for a long time. It was also with her help that the little apprentice was able to set up a stall and start a small business. After a while, the two gradually became familiar with each other. They exchanged names and became good friends. Sometimes, that girl would ask him for help. Even if it was a trivial matter, he would treat it as if it was the most important thing.
At that time, he fell in love with that girl. However, not only did he not dare to say it, he did not even dare to think about it. In his heart, she was always like a fairy. Even if these thoughts appeared in his mind, it would be blasphemous to her. As long as he could watch her laugh, it was already a gift from the heavens. He should cherish this good fortune and not have any other improper thoughts. Otherwise, the heavens would not tolerate it.
Not long after the happy days passed, that girl suddenly stopped coming. He felt as if a large piece of his heart had been dug out, as if something important had been taken away. After that day, he could not see her figure or hear her voice. Every day, he was always listless.
After a few months, his lovesickness gradually faded. He thought that perhaps that girl was a fairy sent by the heavens to help him. Now that the time limit was up, she had returned to the heavens. Thus, he decided to treasure that girl in the bottom of his heart. After all, he had a happy time that was enough for him to remember for the rest of his life. If that girl remembered one day and looked down at the lower realm, she would not be willing to see him in such a state. He must live a better life and not disappoint that girl.
Sure enough, his business grew bigger and bigger, and he had become a somewhat influential merchant in the area. Even some of the goods in the Imperial Palace were ordered from him. After he gradually gained some power, he also became the disciple of a boxing master to learn martial arts. He still had the hard work of his youth and quickly surpassed his master. His master had once told him that he was a great material for practicing martial arts. Unfortunately, his skills were very limited. In the future, if he had the chance to become the disciple of another famous master, he must not miss this great opportunity.
Originally, everything would have been fine if things continued to develop like this. However, as luck would have it, he met that girl again. That was a dream of his when he was young. It was the belief that supported him all the way up. He recognized her at first glance.
That girl was slimmer and more beautiful. He wanted to let her know about his current achievements. She would definitely like it. Just as he was about to go up and greet her, he noticed that there was a young man accompanying her. He was very handsome and looked quite formidable. He was talking and laughing with her. The two of them walked together. They were dazzling and looked very compatible. Later, he asked around and found out that that person was the Lord Baylor of the Nuzhen tribe in Jian Province. He had come to the capital to pay tribute to the emperor.
Everyone had greed and evil thoughts in their hearts. One wrong thought could lead them to the wrong path, and that apprentice was no exception. His nature was simple and honest. Many years of tragic experience did not break him down, but after this incident, his temperament had completely changed. He knew that he was not worthy of that girl, but he still stubbornly wanted to have her alone. He did not want her to be close to others.
Therefore, he deliberately created an opportunity to meet the two of them again. The girl was pleasantly surprised to meet him again after a long separation. She was busy introducing him to the Lord Baylor. The three of them talked and laughed happily. He also felt that the Lord Baylor's words and knowledge were a hundred times better than his. He was the most suitable person for that girl. He loved her, but he also hoped that she would be happy and be with the person she loved. He had already decided not to fight for her, but another unforeseen event happened.
As the Lord Baylor came to the capital again and again and saw the surrounding prosperous scenery, his heart became more and more unsettled. A few years later, his elder brother also officially rebelled. On the surface, he appeared to be helping his elder brother, but in reality, he was secretly cultivating his own forces. He planned to rise up and stand on his own when his henchmen were plentiful. He intended to use the Ming Dynasty as his backer. At the same time, he desperately tried to establish a relationship with the Li family in Korea. He did not hesitate to bow and bend his knees, give gifts, and do everything possible.
When the girl saw him doing this, although she never said it, the disciple knew that she must be very dissatisfied. But she was sincere to the Lord Baylor. Knowing this, she was still willing to help him. He heard that there were seven treasures in ancient times called the 'Seven Evils'. The seven treasures could control the world when gathered, so he also wanted to find them.
The girl did her best to help, and finally found the 'Broken Love' and 'Mourning Soul'. He also obtained the 'Residual Shadow Sword', 'Tears of Broken Soul', and 'Death Seeking Strike'. The disciple was also secretly paying attention. His identity was not like before, so it was easy for him to investigate a person's background. But the result shocked him greatly. That girl had another elder sister who had been separated from her for many years, and she was the Great Ming Princess of that time. This was nothing, but that Princess fell in love with the same person as her, and found the Jueyin Zither and the Seven Demons Art for him. In this way, the Seven Evils were gathered.
The disciple was angry. The Lord Baylor could not treat the girl with all his heart. He had three wives and four concubines at home, and he had to fall in love with the princess. He even had a son with her! He felt that it was unfair for his beloved girl, and with a delicate plan, the two sisters were worried. They did not know whether it was good or bad for him to gather the treasures, and they both hid it from each other. The disciple was very happy. This was only the first step of his plan. He wanted to get the girl he liked, but he still had to get rid of his opponents. Amitabha, a slight mistake in one's thoughts led to this!
After that, on the surface, he acted as usual. He was still familiar with these two people so that he could obtain some top-secret information. He also used various methods to inform his elder brother of Master Baylor's wartime strategy and military strength. Originally, this person was talented and bold, and his ability was not necessarily inferior to his brother's. But the other party had taken precautions in advance, so the situation was very different.
Later, he had no choice but to pledge allegiance to his brother, but he was imprisoned, and not long after, he was secretly executed. When the disciple found out, he was very happy. But when he died, the girl's heart seemed to follow him. She had once used all her efforts to build a mausoleum for him under the old capital of Houjin. After he died, she buried him inside.
The Great Ming princess sealed the Seven Evils Formula in an ancient book, and passed it along with the Tears of Broken Soul to her son. This was originally a secret. When the child was just born, in order to protect his life, the two exchanged him with their brother's son. Then, they went to the mausoleum alone, brought a Jueyin Zither, and were buried together with him.
The disciple's beloved girl was also in so much pain that she wanted to die. She left these grudges on a jade wall, and tried to let the two's son avenge his father when he grew up. In her narration, it was inevitable that she praised the Lord Baylor too much. She left clues in the most secretive way, and gave the disciple the paper that could solve the riddle and the Soul of Bereavement. She told him to wait for the child to grow up, and find a way to give these two things to him. Then, she left alone.
The disciple tried his best, but he was still unable to stay with her. In his anger, he wanted to take the evidence to find the Lord Baylor's brother, and tell him the secret of the royal mausoleum. Then, he wanted to use him to send people to dig up the mausoleum and drag out the corpse … Even if he died, he would not be able to rest … A sin, a sin.
He took the two pieces of evidence, and was already halfway there, when suddenly, an informant came to report that the girl had arrived at Yunnan's Miaojiang, and used the Death of Broken Love … That was a strong poison … Her eyes were blind. She said that for a long time, she was too smart, and saw the world too clearly. That was why she had today's sorrow. If she had not encouraged his ambition in the beginning, he might not have lost his life.
Almost half of the Seven Evils Treasure was collected with her help. If she had been slower, she would not have been able to do these big things. Instead, she might have been happy. Then, she would rather never see … that pair of eyes, that pair of the world's most beautiful eyes, pupils that were like cold pools of water. When they looked at people, they always revealed a gentle smile, but they had forever lost their spirit …
