Chapter 038 Chapter 38
Maibach flew all the way, moving forward towards his destination.
On the way, Shen Ming asked Gu Yanyi: "Is the Ji Ling Zhenren just now the Xuanshu master worshipped by the Su family?"
"Yes, that's him."
Shen Ming asked again: "Isn't he the person behind the scenes?" After a pause, he added, "His level is too poor."
Gu Yan smiled. Shen Ming is indeed a smart man. He guessed it after watching the live broadcast once.
Soon, the car arrived at the destination, which was an ordinary residential area.
After getting off the car, Shen Que looked at the ordinary and even a little old-fashioned community in front of him, and was very shocked: "The Su family's mystic lives here?"
Gu Yan shook his head: "A cunning rabbit has three burrows, and generally they have at least three places."
This is also common in the world of cultivation. In order to avoid being hunted down by enemies, many cultivators have more than three caves. Moreover, this kind of high-rise residential community with a high occupancy rate is crowded, which can easily confuse the atmosphere and make it difficult to track.
If it weren't for the Black and White Impermanence who was so powerful and followed the network cable, it would probably take a lot of effort to track the other party again.
The management of the residential area was lax, and the door downstairs was open, so the two of them went directly into the community.
This neighborhood is full of tall buildings. From the outside looking in, there are at least ten high-rise buildings, and residents can be seen strolling in the garden from time to time.
Gu Yanyi followed the breath of the Black and White Impermanence into the neighborhood, and finally stopped in front of the door of a building in the middle.
"It's here."
The door was locked with a password, and people who were not from this building could not enter and exit at will. It happened that someone came out at this time, and the two took the opportunity to go in.
Soon, the two took the elevator to the top floor. As soon as the elevator door opened, a gloomy aura hit their faces. Needless to say, it was emitted by the Black and White Impermanence.
The door of the house where Ji Ling Zhenren was was locked. Gu Yanyi knocked on the door and the door opened automatically.
Before going in, he stuffed a talisman into Shen Ming's hand.
The room of Ji Ling Zhenren was in a mess, all caused by the fight between him and Bai Xian. At this time, the man and the demon knelt on the ground quietly, lowering their heads and looking obedient. When
the Black and White Impermanence saw Gu Yanyi appear, they bowed to him and said, "Sir."
"Thank you for your help."
Gu Yanyi walked in front of Ji Ling, pulled open his cloak, revealing his obscured face.
This was an ordinary middle-aged man, about 40 years old, and looked honest. No one would think he was a charlatan, but only an experienced technician in a factory.
"Ji Ling Zhenren... or should I call you, Qiu Yongsheng?"
Ji Ling Zhenren - Qiu Yongsheng was startled and looked up at Gu Yanyi.
"You... you investigated me?" He immediately saw Shen Ming behind Gu Yanyi.
As a mystic who helped the Su family steal, he was very familiar with the appearance of the Shen family members. In addition, Su Jinrong called him in the morning to tell him that he had met the Shen family.
He just didn't expect that the other party would come to his door so soon.
"You...you are a member of the Shen family, Shen Ming!"
Shen Ming looked at him coldly.
Gu Yanyi pulled a stool and sat in front of him, and asked: "Tell me, who taught you the art of stealing luck?"
Qiu Yongsheng said stubbornly, "I learned it myself. I found the art in a rare ancient book!"
Gu Yanyi shook his head: "Listen to my advice. If you want to live another two years, answer well, so that I can at least buy you some life back."
Qiu Yongsheng was stunned and asked: "What do you mean?"
Gu Yanyi looked at him with some sympathy and said: "You know that the art of stealing luck is against the will of heaven, right?"
Qiu Yongsheng nodded hesitantly.
He could still guess this.
"Since it is against the will of heaven, then in order to deceive the will of heaven, there must be a price to pay, right?"
Qiu Yongsheng nodded.
This statement is also logical.
"Then what do you think the price will be?"
"What...what?" Qiu Yongsheng had a bad feeling.
Gu Yanyi held up three fingers and said, "Thirty years. You have deceived God by paying the price of thirty years of your life. You could have lived to be eighty years old, but now thirty years have been deducted. Calculate how many years you have left."
Qiu Yongsheng's face turned pale.
"I... I don't feel anything!"
"You thought it was a natural death of old age, and you still feel it. Usually in this situation, people are killed in one go. Accidents, acute illness, indiscriminate killings... There are thousands of ways to die, and there is always one that suits you?"
Gu Yanyi said, moving closer to look at the other person, and then said, "Wait, no, I was wrong just now."
Qiu Yongsheng just showed a hint of joy on his face, and Gu Yanyi's next sentence was to kill him.
"You now have only five years to live instead of ten."
"Why... why?! How is it possible!"
"During the time you were supported by the Su family, you did a lot of work for them, right?"
Qiu Yongsheng stopped talking.
The Su family is a business family, and they usually have partners in the business world and enemies in the industry.
The Su family didn't have many ways to do business, otherwise they wouldn't have been just an obscure small supplier for more than 20 years before they met Shen Ning.
Even after stealing the Shen family's luck and making the Su family bigger and stronger, the Su family, who were used to taking shortcuts, didn't know how to make themselves stronger and were unwilling to do so. Instead, they hoped for more unorthodox methods.
In the past years, the Su family had begged Qiu Yongsheng more than once to use evil magic to harm their opponents and help them through the difficulties.
Under the temptation of huge profits, Qiu Yongsheng agreed to all of them.
It's not that he didn't know that what he did was all crooked, but the Su family really gave him too much.
And after he did all this, he miraculously didn't suffer any backlash from the evil magic, nor did he pay any price, which made him more and more greedy and courageous.
But now Gu Yanyi told Qiu Yongsheng that all these evil deeds he did were at the cost of his own life?
Qiu Yongsheng was completely panicked. He knew Gu Yanyi's ability and knew that this man could definitely save him, so he could no longer pretend.
"Master, Master, you must save me! I...I will tell you everything!"
...
Qiu Yongsheng was an orphan.
His parents threw him into the garbage dump and left. An old man who picked up rags found him and picked him up.
The old man raised him until he was ten years old. One day, because he mistakenly entered the territory of other beggars, he was chased and beaten by a group of beggars. Finally, he fell down the stairs and died on the spot after hitting his head.
Qiu Yongsheng was a little sad. The old man was not very good to him. The purpose of picking him up was just to let him support him in his old age, but at least the old man was willing to give him a meal.
This was a great kindness for a child like him who was not even wanted by his parents.
Qiu Yongsheng decided to avenge the old man. He sneaked to the beggars' territory and used a brick stolen from the construction site to hit the beggars on the head one by one while they were asleep in the middle of the night.
His thoughts at the time were very simple.
You killed the old man, you don't let me live, and I won't let you live either.
His expression was fierce and vicious, and he had no intention of leaving the beggars alive.
But he was still too young, and the noise he made was too loud, and he soon woke up the other beggars.
The beggars shouted for their companions, and Qiu Yongsheng saw that the situation was not good, so he threw the brick and ran away. The beggars chased him from behind, and occasionally threw stones they picked up at Qiu Yongsheng.
Qiu Yongsheng escaped, but was also injured. Knowing that this group of beggars would not give up, he bought a ticket to the county town with the money the old man had saved and left the city.
After arriving in the county town, he made a living by picking up garbage.
One day, while digging in the garbage dump, he was suddenly stopped by a middle-aged man. The man said he wanted to take him in as an apprentice and asked him if he would do it.
Qiu Yongsheng looked at the man. Although the man's clothes were old, they were clean, which showed that the other party at least had a stable life.
Qiu Yongsheng, who had had enough of the days of displacement and homelessness, agreed to the other party without hesitation.
The man took him back to his home, and Qiu Yongsheng discovered that the man was actually a fortune teller.
It is not right to say that he is a fortune teller. To be precise, he is a liar.
The liar provided him with food, clothing, shelter and transportation, and taught him how to cheat.
He asked the liar why he chose him.
The liar said that he could read faces, and he knew from Qiu Yongsheng's facial features and temperament that he was a ruthless person. If you want to do great things in the future, you must be ruthless and have no conscience.
Qiu Yongsheng asked him why he didn't find someone else, and that the thugs on the street were also ruthless.
The liar sneered and said that violent people were not ruthless people, only those who had killed people were considered ruthless.
At that time, Qiu Yongsheng was bathed in the liar's meaningful gaze, and his heart trembled violently. He thought that everything he had done had been discovered by the other party.
The liar patted his shoulder and said, "So I chose you."
After that, he followed the liar to learn the tricks of cheating for more than ten years.
As the liar said, people with conscience can't do this business.
He once witnessed a liar who identified the wife of a local rich businessman as a star of misfortune, who would bring death to relatives and friends. The rich businessman and his relatives and friends abused the wife to the extreme. Finally, the woman could not bear it and jumped into the river to commit suicide one day.
The real reason was that the rich businessman had a lover outside, and he did not want to divorce and divide the family property, so he used this method to force his wife to death, and even created an accident, leaving his own daughter with a lifelong disability, just to splash dirty water on his wife.
In such a remote place, the effect of a star of misfortune is more useful than any law and morality.
The meaning of the liar's existence is to provide an excuse for the rich businessman.
Afterwards, the liar received a generous reward from the rich businessman. Qiu Yongsheng had never seen so much money since he was a child.
The liar took the money and was generous to Qiu Yongsheng. He bought him a few new sets of clothes and pants, and gave him a latest mobile phone.
Qiu Yongsheng was wearing clothes and holding a mobile phone, thinking: What is conscience? What is other people's lives? They are not as real as the clothes on my body and the mobile phone in my hand.
The liar was right. He had no conscience and was suitable for this.
With the help of the rich businessman, more and more people privately found the liar to do this.
In a few years, the liar bought a car and moved to a new house. Qiu Yongsheng followed him and his life became better and better. Occasionally, he could receive a few orders that the liar missed and enrich his own coffers.
But if you stand by the river often, you will get your shoes wet. If you do too many immoral things, you will be exposed one day.
Just when the liar completed another deal and received a considerable reward in his account, the family of the person who was killed because of his previous "iron mouth" came to him.
The liar was beaten to death in a remote alley.
That night, Qiu Yongsheng took the money that the liar kept in the safe and fled the small county town.
