Chapter 173 Resurrection
"It's nothing, just don't mind me being long-winded, Junior Brother."
"Speaking of which, Gu Hanlin is from Kaiyang City, so I know some things more than others."
"People only know that Gu Hanlin never learned martial arts, and after his family members were all killed and he was helpless, he entered the imperial capital's library to study. As a result, three years later, he had a chance encounter with heaven and man and became a congenital overnight. However, few people know that his background was even more difficult than the rumors said."
A gentle voice flows in the air, and between words,
A hint of pity also appeared on Feng Huaibing's pretty face, who was wearing a white long dress.
Then, as he spoke, everything about Gu Hanlin's life story gradually unfolded before Yang Qingyun.
Gu Hanlin was born in a very humble family.
It can even be said to be low to the point of being despicable.
Because of his mother,
It was a brothel girl! No one knew who his father was. Perhaps any man who had lingered in that brothel could be his father, but no one cared.
At first, the brothel girl didn't want the child.
She knew she was in a quagmire and had neither the ability nor the desire to raise a child.
In that filthy world,
Even if the child is born, he or she will suffer all his or her life and there will be no hope.
But surprisingly, her child was exceptionally "strong". Even after she took the most powerful abortion drug prescribed by the doctor several times, she was unable to abort the fetus.
Motherly love is a woman's nature, and human hearts are easily changed. Since he is so tenacious, let him be born safely! With this thought in mind,
The brothel woman eventually gave birth to a baby boy.
That is Gu Hanlin.
In order to let the child grow up better, the woman sent them to a farmer's home, lived frugally, and used the money saved from selling her body to send the child to school.
Perhaps the mother knew that her social status was low and she hoped that her children could succeed.
Gu Hanlin was both sensible and ambitious when he was a child.
Mr. Ci almost always got first place in the monthly exams.
But as the saying goes, a tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind; this truth also applies to children.
Even due to their "innocence", the malice of some "young and ignorant" children is far more terrible than that of adults! One day, rumors that Gu Hanlin was a fatherless bastard and his mother was a prostitute quickly spread among his classmates.
The envious looks from his classmates turned into disgust in the blink of an eye. The ridicule, malice, and bullying from his classmates all came towards him at once.
Even those classmates would spit at him when they saw him passing by, and then burst into laughter at his miserable appearance with saliva on his messy hair.
Even the old scholar who was teaching felt that such a person had brought disgrace to his family. After all, the origin of a prostitute's son was too low and it was a disgrace to the name of saints.
If his mother had not knelt in front of the old man's door and begged for the whole night, he would have been kicked out.
But even if the old man didn't expel him,
Later in my study, there was no improvement at all.
I spent almost my entire childhood facing malicious discrimination.
Then when I grew up,
The bad luck has not gone away either.
After graduating from school, he became a scholar.
The next year, he went to Beijing to take the imperial examination, but unfortunately failed.
It was said that the news that his mother was a prostitute spread somehow. Although the imperial examinations in the State of Chu were not limited to people of scholarly origin, the examiner was displeased by his humble origin and gave him a low evaluation.
Even more unfortunate is that when he returned from the capital, his mother had already passed away several days ago due to illness caused by years of overwork.
It was the honest farmer couple who fostered Gu Hanlin who prepared a thin coffin and pulled the body back, thus preventing it from being thrown into a mass grave by the people in the brothel.
But it’s not over yet.
On the night when he was keeping vigil at his mother's grave, a villain wanted by the government passed by his adoptive parents' home and killed all seven members of his adoptive parents' and brothers' family.
No one knew what he was thinking at that time.
After collecting the remains, he went to the capital alone.
Later in the capital, there was a story about a man who was inspired by watching the stars set in the west and entered the heavenly realm overnight.
"Speaking of which, when I first took on the mission to track down Gu Hanlin's sect, in addition to wanting to go out and go home, I also had some interest in this person."
"Why would such a person suddenly start a rebellion? I'm afraid there are some unknown inside stories, but now it seems that I will never have the chance to find out the truth."
Feng Huaibing sighed.
"Not long ago, the strong men of the sect destroyed the rebel camp, and Gu Hanlin escaped. When I heard the news, I asked my father to have people monitor the graves of his mother and adoptive parents. As a result, they accidentally found traces of worship. They realized that he might have returned, so they searched carefully and finally found that he was hiding in the Red Rock Mountains."
"I see!"
Yang Qingyun was a little dazed.
No wonder.
If a person is determined to escape, in this feudal society without surveillance, and hides in the deep mountains and forests, the possibility of being found is almost zero.
In this way, Gu Hanlin's discovery is in line with common sense.
Perhaps this is where the butterfly effect changes.
Yang Qingyun glanced at Feng Huaibing and said secretly in his heart.
But at the same time,
More doubts arose in Yang Qingyun's heart.
Such a person,
Is it really that easy to die in the hands of himself and others? The last siege in the Red Rock Mountains made him feel a little strange now!
"By the way, Senior Sister, do you know where Gu Hanlin's mother is buried?"
While thinking,
Yang Qingyun's eyes flashed, a thought flashed through his mind, and he asked Feng Huaibing.
"I know. What's wrong?"
"Nothing, I just want to meet this great mother."
Yang Qingyun said with a complicated expression.
Outside Kaiyang City, there is an unnamed, remote hillside.
This is not a Feng Shui treasured place. Not only is it remote, but the low earthen mounds are covered with wild weeds, with only one or two big trees stretching out their branches occasionally.
Yang Qingyun's figure passed over the trees. Not far away, a small mound stood quietly. In front of it was a wooden tombstone with the identity of the grave owner written on it.
In front of the tombstone, some ashes of burnt paper money were submerged in the soil and were vaguely visible.
It seems that someone came to pay homage more than half a month ago.
Yang Qingyun stood there, somewhat silent.
Mother It seems like many years have passed, is she still okay in that world?
After a long moment,
Yang Qingyun let out a long sigh.
He silently stepped forward and bowed to show his respect to the mother.
Then turned and left.
However, at this moment, his hair stood on end, and he felt a cold air surging from the soles of his feet, penetrating his whole body and going straight to the top of his head!
Because at this time,
Under the big tree behind him, a figure who he had seen not long ago and had a deep memory of was standing quietly under the tree, looking at him with a smile! This person was wearing Confucian clothes, a tall crown on his head, and holding a folding fan in his hand.
But Yang Qingyun could not help but recognize that this person's face was exactly Gu Hanlin!
Instantly, Yang Qingyun felt a chill down his spine, and his blood froze! Impossible! This man had clearly died under the siege of himself, Du Wenhe and the other three, and his body had even been broken into two sections, dead as hell!
Why is he here? Is he resurrected from the dead?
"It's you, how did you find this place?"
