Martial Arts Master Travelled to Ancient Time and Farms Chapter 78

Chapter 78 The sharpest knife in the world

After half an hour, Cheng Ling left from the study in the Cao mansion.

Eunuch Ma died in that study, silently, and no one was disturbed.

Cheng Ling launched a collection technique on him, and the system prompted: "You have started collection, the **** Maren, the confidant of Queen Mother Xu of the Qi Kingdom, and obtained 10 taels of gold beads, a volume of "Boruo Heart Sutra", and a volume of "Eunuch Survival Code". "

This collection result made Cheng Ling deeply silent, isn't it interesting? A vicious and vicious old **** is very likely to be a man of faith.

Not only does he read Buddhist scriptures, but his style of belief is also very unusual.

Cheng Ling left Cao Mansion, walked through the streets and alleys, avoiding the patrolling beaters, and returned to his home in a short time.

She climbed over the wall and was admitted to the hospital, but when she returned to the second residence, she saw a person sitting quietly on the high ridge under the sparse starlight.

is Xiao Man!

Cheng Ling was slightly startled, but her body movements were faster than her thoughts. After a while, she pointed her toes a little, lifted her body lightly, and lightly jumped onto the roof.

Xiao Man looked sideways, his eyes were quiet, but his expression seemed to be a little fuzzy.

At this moment, under the starlight, his whole person was filled with an indescribable desolation. It seems that sitting on this roof ridge, he is not a person, but an independent statue.

But the statue was still alive when it saw Cheng Ling.

He opened his mouth and said, "You're back."

Cheng Ling said: "Can you guess where I went?"

While speaking, she came to Xiao Man and sat down.

The night wind blew over, bringing a hint of coolness from the heights.

On this moonless night, under the starlight, the whole world seems to be alienated and intimate, poetic and romantic.

This atmosphere dilutes Cheng Ling's original killing intent, making her gain a different kind of peace at this moment.

Xiao Man said: "I guess you went to Cao Mansion."

He guessed right, and Cheng Ling said, "I also killed someone."

Xiao Man turned his head sideways, raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "You don't seem very happy."

Cheng Ling let out a sigh of relief and said, "I'm not very happy, because this person told me a lot before he died."

Then, she told Xiao Man about Duke Ma.

Cheng Lingdao: "This old **** actually said that he was lurking next to King Linhai, in order to find opportunities to incite him, raise troops and horses, and slaughter the family. King Linhai came all the way, and has killed all three big families, Tong family, Ji family, Dai family. Family…"

"When I got to the Wang family, King Linhai failed to kill him because he was killed by me."

"The old **** scolded me for being ignorant, saying that I killed a king of Linhai, but I broke the sharpest knife in the world, facing the family."

"He said that the aristocratic family is the biggest cancer in the world. The aristocratic family controls the government, but also controls the locality, encircling the land and stationing troops. In name, they submit to the court, but in fact, they all support the army."

"In the local area, these aristocratic families have both military power and political power. They are local emperors and big tigers. They exploit the people's fields and endlessly increase extortionate taxes.

"If you don't kill the family, the wealth in this world will always be in the family, but not in the people, and it won't be in the court."

"I saved Wang Qilang. It seemed that I saved a person, but in fact, I harmed the world."

Having said that, Cheng Ling let out a sigh of relief.

She asked Xiao Man, "Brother Xiao, do you think what this old **** said makes sense?"

Xiao Man looked at Cheng Ling with an incredible look: "Brother Cheng, do you think what he said is reasonable? Do you regret it?"

Cheng Ling:…

Cheng Ling paused and smiled lightly: "Of course I don't regret it, so I will kill this Ma Gong Gong."

Xiao Man then laughed too. He looked at Cheng Ling and said, "Brother Cheng, Xiao has never told you that what I admire most about you is actually that. It is firm enough, decisive, and never easy. shake."

Cheng Ling then looked at Xiao Man and said, "Isn't Brother Xiao also such a person?"

She thought Xiao Man would do it, but Xiao Man said, "No, I've never been firm enough."

Under the starlight, Xiao Man, who was covered in night wind, suddenly moved his eyebrows slightly.

For a moment, his eyes seemed to have finally pulled back to reality from the estranged distance.

Xiao Man said: "Brother Cheng, I'm very indecisive, and it's very easy to be constrained by others. Are you trying to laugh at me?"

Speaking of which, Cheng Ling had never seen Xiao Man indecisive.

She said almost without thinking: "Brother Xiao, there are too many things in this world that are difficult to balance. It is impossible to decide. How can such an assessment be made easily?"

Xiao Man stared at Cheng Ling, and his voice slowed down: "Did Brother Cheng think so? Isn't it to comfort me?"

Cheng Ling smiled slightly and said: "It may be comfort to put it on someone else, but with Brother Xiao as a person, this is not comfort."

After a pause, she suddenly recited a poem leisurely: "I once thought about hurting the holy life with too much affection, and when I entered the mountain, I was afraid that I would not lose the city. The world is safe and secure, and I can live up to the Tathagata and the emperor."

The world is safe and secure, and it will live up to the Tathagata!

This was Cheng Ling's feeling, but it also deeply penetrated into Xiao Man's heart.

He was silent for a moment, opened his mouth and chewed on the sentence "the world is safe and secure, and the Tathagata is not the same as the emperor" for a while, and then smiled softly: "Brother Cheng, my mother died of dystocia when I was born. , I was raised by my stepmother."

Cheng Ling listened to him talk about his background, so he listened carefully.

Xiao Man said: "Before I was five years old, I didn't know that my mother was a stepmother. At that time, my stepmother treated me very well in front of people and spoiled me in front of my father, but she would treat me in front of people. Violent tantrums, wanton scolding me."

"I don't know when she will turn her face, and I don't know where she is wrong. All I know is that I need to be careful at all times, because I don't seem to be doing anything right, and everything is wrong."

"I was so eager to please her, so when she celebrated her birthday that year... In order to pray for her, I knelt in front of the Buddha all night and picked up Buddha beans all night, it was nothing, but after that, I gave birth to a Seriously ill."

"When he was seriously ill, he seemed to be dying."

"In a daze, she sat in front of my bed and told me with a smug smile. She was very happy, she was very happy because she hated me."

"She said I was guilty, I was born guilty. I killed her sister..."

"The stepmother turned out to be my aunt, and my biological mother was her sister."

Having said this, Xiao Man paused for a moment, as if thinking about what to say next.

Cheng Ling felt that what he heard was a story about how a child was kidnapped by his stepmother's spirit.
