Chapter 14 The Thirteenth Slaughterhouse

【one】 February twenty-four. Chang'an. Before Dawn. The sky was dark, darker than at any time of day. Gao Jianfei sat alone in the dark, so cold that his blood seemed to have frozen. "I'm not wrong." He kept telling himself, "I'm not sorry for Zhu Meng, nor for her, I'm not wrong." There is nothing wrong with love itself. It is not wrong for anyone to fall in love with another person. When he fell in love with Die Wu, he didn't even know that Die Wu was Zhu Meng's woman, he never even thought about it. But whenever he thought of the expression on Zhu Meng's face when he saw Die Wu, he would feel a knife-like sense of guilt and remorse in his heart.

So he goes. He also wanted to rush over, hug Die Wu in the pool of blood, throw everything away, hug the only woman in his life, take care of her for the rest of his life, love her for the rest of his life, no matter whether her leg is broken or not. Love her just the same. But Zhu Meng had already rushed over to hug her first, so he left silently. He just has to go. —how far can he go?Where should I go?How far do you have to go to forget these things? Who can answer these questions for him? The closer it is to dawn, the darker the earth seems to be.Xiao Gao lay down on the icy snow, looking up at the dark sky.

Then he closed his eyes. Since you can only see darkness when you open your eyes, why not close them? "You will die like this?" As soon as he closed his eyes, he heard a person say coldly: "This winter, at least four or five people in Chang'an City will freeze to death like this. The freeze is harder than a rock, and even wild dogs can't chew it." Xiao Gao ignored him. ——Since life is so hard, why not die? But this man refused to let him die. His jaw suddenly twisted open, and suddenly he felt a hot thing rushing into his throat and flowing into his stomach.

Immediately, it was as if a fire was burning in his stomach, making his whole body warm. When he opened his eyes, he saw a man standing in front of him like a stone statue, holding a box in his hand. An ordinary person, an extraordinary box. If this person wants to live alone, it will be very difficult for anyone to die.Just like when he wants to die alone, it is difficult for anyone to live. Xiao Gao understands this. "Good wine." He jumped up, trying his best to look indifferent, "Is the Luzhou Daqu you just gave me?" "Seems." "You can't hide this from me. I started drinking when others were breastfeeding."

Xiao Gao laughed, as if he really had a good laugh, "Some people are born heroes, some people are born swordsmen, and some people are born alcoholics." "You're not a drunkard." The man looked at Xiao Gao coldly, "You're an asshole." Xiao Gao laughed again: "A bastard is a bastard, what's the difference between a bastard and a drunkard?" "There is a difference." "Which point?" "You'll know it when you see it." "What are you looking at?" Xiao Gao asked, "Where should I go?" This person suddenly supported his ribs, and flew up with him, passing countless roof ridges before stopping.

"Here," he said, "that's where you come to see!" This is the roof of a tall building in a vast garden. This tall building is the first floor of Chang'an Residence. 【two】 It was almost dawn, and looking at it in the gray dawn, the flowers were still so proud and gorgeous red.Strangely, there seemed to be flowers falling all over the snow. "If you think it's a flower, you're wrong." The man carrying the box said, "That's not a flower, it's blood." Xiao Gao's heart sank. He knew it was blood, and he knew whose blood it was.

When Zhu Meng came, he had already ambushed his dead soldiers here, ready to fight Zhuo Donglai to the death. "But you should also think that Zhuo Donglai will not be unprepared." The man carrying the box said, "There is no one of his people here, just because his people are all outside, and he knows that you are going to ambush people here, so he is here Surrounding you outside." This time Zhuo Donglai's subordinates dispatched a total of 320 people, all of which were the best people he could mobilize in the past two days. "Although they have several times more people than you, Zhuo Donglai still dare not act rashly."

"Because he knows that the people who come to the Lion Hall this time are heroes who are not afraid of death, and they are all here to work hard." "Desperate?" The man carrying the suitcase sneered, "Do you think it will be useful if you work hard?" He asked Xiao Gao: "Will it be useful if you want to fight with me? Will I be too scared to do it?" His sharp and ruthless question made it impossible to answer, and he was not going to ask Xiao Gao to answer. "Sometimes desperate is just to die." He said, "Zhuo Donglai is definitely not afraid of those people."

"Who is he afraid of?" "It's you!" Xiao Gao smiled bitterly: "Have you forgotten the battle between Sima and I under the Big Wild Goose Pagoda?" "But Sima is not in Chang'an." "where is he?" "In Luoyang." The man carrying the suitcase said, "He's not like Zhuo Donglai, he also has Zhu Meng's arrogance, but he is restrained too much." "Oh?" "Being an undefeated hero is by no means an easy task. Sima Chaoqun's life is not easy." The man carrying the suitcase was sighing for Sima, because he felt the same feeling in his heart.

"Sima is in Chang'an, with Zhuo Donglai alone, how can he deal with you and Zhu Meng? If his subordinates strike first, will you let him go?" Xiao Gao looked at the blood stains on the snowy ground, and suddenly cold sweat broke out on his back. If it wasn't for Die Wu, he and Zhu Meng would have had a good chance to kill Zhuo Donglai before the banquet. "That was your only chance, but you let it go gently, because you left." The man carrying the suitcase said, "Of course you should go, because you are a man, and of course you wouldn't do it for a woman and Zhu Meng turned his face."

His voice was cold and sharp: "But have you ever thought that when you left, just when Zhu Meng needed you the most, you left a woman with a broken leg to Zhu Meng, thinking that you were already a woman?" You are a loyal friend, but I think you are more friends with Zhuo Donglai, because you left Zhu Meng and the eighty-six brothers in Xiongshitang to him." Xiao Gao couldn't speak, not even a single word, and his clothes were drenched in cold sweat. "So they have to fight with Zhuo Donglai's people, but it's a pity that it's not necessarily useful." The man carrying the suitcase said, "After you leave, this place will become a slaughterhouse." He asked Xiao Gao calmly: "Do you know what a slaughterhouse looks like?" Xiao Gao slowly raised his head and stared at him, his voice hoarse with grief. "I don't know, you know?" "Of course I knew, because I was here at the time." "You just sit here and watch those people being slaughtered like cattle and sheep?" "I'm not only looking, but I can see very clearly. I can see clearly every time the knife is cut." "Did you enjoy watching it?" "It's not too pleasant, and it's not too uncomfortable." The person carrying the suitcase said lightly, "Because this is your business and has nothing to do with me." Xiao Gao's suppressed anger finally burst out like flames when a furnace exploded. "Are you human?" "I'm." "Since you are human, how can you sit here and watch other people being slaughtered like cattle and sheep?" Xiao Gao said sharply to this person who seemed to never be emotional, "Why didn't you save them?" The man smiled, and asked Xiao Gao back with a smile that could make one's bone marrow go cold: "Why didn't you stay and save them, why did you lie on the snow alone and wait to die?" Xiao Gao closed his mouth. "If you really die, you don't need to find death yourself, because Zhuo Donglai has already arranged for you." The man said flatly, "I know he has found someone for you who can send you to die at any time. " "It's not easy to send me to die." Xiao Gao sneered, "Who is he looking for?" "It's true that there are not many people who can send you to death, but the person he found has never missed a murder." "Oh?" "Of course you also know that some people in Jianghu make a living by killing people. The higher the price is, the less likely it is to miss." "Is the person he's looking for the most expensive?" "yes." "You also know who this person is?" "I know." The person carrying the suitcase said, "His surname is Xiao, the sword Qi Xiaoxiao, and his name is Xiao Leixue." "You are Xiao Leixue?" "yes." Xiao Gao has completely calmed down, and only this kind of needle-like stimulation can make him suddenly calm down from the grief, guilt and confusion. The morning mist had just risen, he quietly looked at this person who was more mysterious than the mist, and sighed softly. "It's really a pity. I really didn't expect you to kill people for money." "I didn't expect it either. It's been a long time since I killed someone for money." Xiao Leixue said, "This kind of thing is not interesting." "Why did you make an exception this time?" Xiao Leipan didn't answer this sentence directly, but there was a misty expression in his gray and cold eyes. "Everyone has an invisible rope on his body, and he has been tightly bound by this rope for most of his life." Xiao Leixue said, "Some people's ropes are family wives and children, and some people's The rope is money business responsibility." He also stared at Xiao Gao: "Although people like you and Zhu Meng will not be bound by this kind of rope, you also have a rope that you made for yourself." "Emotion." Xiao Leixue said, "You are all too emotional, this is your rope." "What about you," Xiao Gao asked, "what is your rope? What kind of rope can bind you?" "It's a contract." "Contract?" Xiao Gao didn't understand, "What contract?" "A contract to kill." Xiao Leixue's voice seemed to have come far away: "Although I am a hermit with incomparable wealth now, twenty years ago I was just a penniless prodigal, just like you now, with no friends, no relatives, no roots, except There is nothing outside this box." "This box is a murder weapon, so you start killing people for a living?" "The people I kill should be killed. If I don't kill them, they will die at the hands of others." Xiao Leixue said, "Although the price I want is high, the credit is very good. As long as the contract is signed, It will definitely be done." His voice was full of sarcasm, and he said to himself: "Because of this, I never fail to sleep at night." "It's just that you washed your hands afterwards." Xiao Gao said coldly, "Because you've made enough money." "Yes, I washed my hands later, but not because I had made enough money, but because one night after I killed someone, I suddenly couldn't sleep." Xiao Leixue clenched his case tightly: "For people in our line of work, this is the scariest thing." "How did you get that rope?" "That contract was the first one I made. It stated in the contract that he can ask me to kill someone for him anytime and anywhere. No matter when he asks me to kill anyone, I can't refuse." "This contract has never been completed?" "Never." Xiao Leixue said, "It's not because I don't want to complete it, but because that person never asked me to do it." "So this contract is still valid until now." "yes." "Why did you sign such a terrible contract?" Xiao Gao sighed, "Is the price he offered particularly high?" "yes." "How much did he give you?" Xiao Gao asked. "He gave me my life." "Whose life?" "mine." Xiao Leixue said: "When I made that contract, he could kill me anytime and anywhere." "It's not easy to kill you." Xiao Gao asked again, "Who is this person?" Xiao Leixue refused to answer this question. "I can only tell you that this contract has been sent back to me now, and there is already a person's name on it." "A person you want to kill?" "yes." "This person's name is Gao Jianfei?" "yes." Xiao Leixue looked at Gao Jianfei quietly, and Gao Jianfei also looked at him quietly.Both were eerily calm, as if killing and being killed were nothing more than a common occurrence. After a long, long time, Xiao Gao asked Xiao Leixue. "Do you know where Zhu Meng's body is?" He said, "I want to sacrifice him." "Zhu Meng doesn't have a body yet." Xiao Leixue said, "He won't die yet." Xiao Gao's breathing seemed to pause for a while: "This time he broke out again?" "He didn't kill him himself, Zhuo Donglai let him go." Xiao Leixue said, "He had no chance at all." "Why did Zhuo Donglai let him go?" "Because Zhuo Donglai wants to leave him to Sima Chaoqun." Xiao Leixue said, "Zhu Meng's death will definitely be a major event that will cause a sensation in the world. Zhuo Donglai usually leaves this kind of thing to Sima Chaoqun." He continued slowly: "It is not easy to create a hero." "Yes." Xiao Gao said, "It's really not easy." After saying this, the two of them closed their mouths again, but suddenly a faint red smoke rose in the distance. In this gray dawn, it looked like a strand of fresh blood that had just soaked into the ice and snow. . The light smoke was quickly blown away by the wind, and Xiao Leixue said to Xiao Gao in a very strange voice: "I want to go to a very special place, you also come with me." Where did that puff of red smoke come from?Does it symbolize some special meaning? ——is it a signal?Or a warning? What exactly is that special place?Why did Xiao Leixue take Xiao Gao there? Many people like to choose a special place when they kill people. Could it be that there is also a slaughterhouse? This is not a slaughterhouse, and it doesn't seem to be anything special.This is just a small earth temple, a small earth temple built in a remote alley. The parents-in-law of the land in the temple have also been neglected for a long time. Of course, there will be no incense in this cold February morning. Xiao Gao stood silently behind Xiao Leixue, silently looking at this pair of parents-in-law who have seen all the cruelty of the world and experienced vicissitudes of life but always stayed together with each other, suddenly felt an indescribable loneliness in his heart. He suddenly felt that this pair of humble gods, who had been neglected since ancient times, were far happier than those immortals, Buddhas, and gods who stood high above the nine heavens with golden light. ——Die Wu, why are you Die Wu?Why not another woman? He never asked about her whereabouts. He can't ask. Because she didn't belong to him in the first place, he only hoped that he could regard the days when they were together as a dream. 【three】 What's so special about this place?Why did Xiao Leixue bring him here?What are you here for? Xiao Gao didn't ask, but Xiao Leixue said, "They all know." "They knew everything I did in those days," he said. "They?" Xiao Gao asked, "Who are they?" "They are them," Xiao Leixue looked at the statue in the alcove, "they are the land father-in-law and land mother-in-law." Xiao Gao didn't understand, and Xiao Leixue also knew that he didn't understand. "Twenty years ago, people who were qualified to ask me to kill people all knew this place and would come here, leaving behind a place name and a person's name." Xiao Leixue explained: "The place name is the place where I am asked to get money. , the name is the person I am going to kill." ——A remote earth temple, a hidden corner, a movable red brick, a roll of carefully rolled paper, a very considerable price, a life! How simple and how complicated. "If I think that person should be killed, I will go to the place where they left their names, and there will be a sum of money waiting for me." Xiao Leixue said, "There is only money, no one, my The customers have never seen my real face." "What about the people who died at your hands?" "People who can make people kill him at such a high price usually have a reason to die." Xiao Leixue said, "so this small earth temple is probably the one with the biggest deal in Chang'an City. place." His voice was full of sarcasm: "Our industry is one of the oldest industries of human beings, and it can even be regarded as the oldest industry that men can do." Xiao Gao understood what he meant. There is a line of business that women can do that is far older than this line, because they have the most primitive capital. "Sixteen years, sixteen years and three months, what a long period of time." Xiao Leixue sighed softly, "During this period, some people were born, some people were old, and some people died, but this place seems to be connected to each other." Nothing has changed." "Haven't you been here in sixteen years?" "I didn't come until the day before yesterday." "After sixteen years, why did you suddenly come again?" Xiao Gao asked Xiao Leixue. "Because I saw the news of the smoke that was called 'Blood Fire' by people in the Jianghu sixteen years ago." "Is that the red smoke we saw just now?" "yes." Xiao Leixue went on to say: "As soon as there is a flash of blood, there must be a very important person in the rivers and lakes who suddenly died suddenly. Therefore, some people call it a 'death order', a death order for ecstasy." He explained again, "After the people looking for me have been here, they will go out of the city to release this kind of red fireworks. Once every morning, three times in a row. What you saw just now is the third time." "So you came here the day before yesterday, and you have already received the contract that must be fulfilled." "yes." "The person who exchanged your life for this contract is Zhuo Donglai?" Xiao Gao asked. "It's not him." Xiao Leixue sneered, "He's not worthy yet." "But you know that's what Zhuo Donglai meant." "I know, of course I know." What Xiao Leixue said was very strange: "Ever since that person disappeared from the world suddenly, I have never figured out where he hid. I didn't know until now." The "that person" he mentioned was undoubtedly the person with whom he made this contract. ——Who is this person?Is there some kind of mysterious relationship with Zhuo Donglai? Xiao Gao didn't want to ask these things anymore.He was already very tired, so tired that his whole body seemed to be on the verge of collapse, but now his spirit suddenly cheered up. "I know that I am not your opponent now. If I can die in your hands, I will die without regret, because at least it is better than dying in someone else's hands." Xiao Gao said, "But you can't kill me if you want to kill me." easy." He stared at the box in Xiao Leixue's hand: "If you want to kill me, you must at least open your box first, and open your box before I draw out my sword." His sword is also in his hand, it is no longer wrapped in green cloth, and he is ready to draw his sword at any time when Changan is alone. Xiao Leixue turned around slowly, staring at Xiao Gao's hand holding the sword, a very strange expression suddenly appeared in his eyes. The knuckles of the finger he was carrying the box suddenly turned white, and a vein suddenly popped up on the back of his hand. ——When the main sword is first released, gods and ghosts are afraid. ——Whose tears are on the sword? ——Master Xiao's. ——The sword has been forged, why should he shed tears? ——Because he has foreseen a disaster, he has foreseen in the sword energy that his only son will die by this sword. ——His only son is Xiao Leixue? --yes. 【Four】 The bathroom was steaming, and Zhuo Donglai was taking a shower, as if he wanted to wash away the fresh blood stained last night in time. This bathroom is behind his dormitory, like a hidden treasure room, built solidly and tightly. Because he won't allow anyone to come in while he's taking a shower. Because no matter who bathes naked, he is no exception. Except in front of his mother when he was a baby, Zhuo Donglai had never let anyone see him completely naked in his life. Zhuo Donglai is a crippled, deformed, stunted cripple. His left leg was a little shorter than his right, and he was underdeveloped only because he had been squeezed by someone else in the womb. This man is his younger brother. Zhuo Donglai is a twin, and should have had a younger brother who shared love and nourishment with him in the mother's womb. His husband came out, but his younger brother died in her mother's womb at the same time as his mother. "I am a murderer, I was born a murderer," Zhuo Donglai would often cry out in his nightmares, "I killed my mother and my younger brother as soon as I was born." He always thought that his disability was God's punishment for him, but he was not convinced. He overcame a congenital handicap in his hands and feet with great determination and perseverance. Since he was an adult, no one could see that he was crippled, and no one knew that he used to practice walking like a normal person. sweat. It's a pity that there is another thing that he will never be able to do, no matter how much he pays. He'll never be a real man, there will always be a part of him like a baby. Zhuo Donglai also had blue veins on the back of his hands, which were caused by soaking in hot water. He likes to soak in boiling hot water. The equipment for his bathing is a "furnace" imitated from "Fusang country" specially sent by people. Whenever he soaked in the boiling hot water, he would feel as if he was back at his brother's side again, and he was under the same heat and pressure again. —Is he abusing himself?Or are you punishing yourself? Does he also take pleasure in abusing and punishing others? Now Zhuo Donglai is not thinking about these things, he is thinking about something more interesting, he thinks about Xiao Gao and Xiao Leixue. A person is an unparalleled master in the world, and also has the most terrifying weapon in the world. But his fate has been doomed, and he is doomed to die under the sword forged by his father. The other person was destined to die in his hands, and there was no room for resistance and escape at all. But the sword was in this man's hand. —Which of these two men died? Zhuo Donglai thought this question was very interesting, very interesting. He couldn't help laughing. But before he could smile, his smile had been frozen to death in his skin and muscles. His pupils have constricted. His pupils constricted only when he was tense with real fear.Now he had felt such things. He already felt that someone opened the door of his secret room with a method that he couldn't understand until now, and he was already standing behind him like a ghost. This is really an incredible thing, Zhuo Donglai never believed that there are people in this world who really have such an incredible ability. But now he couldn't believe it. He quickly thought of one person, the only one, "Xiao Leixue, I know it must be you." "Yes." A hoarse and low voice said, "It's me." Zhuo Donglai suddenly sighed deeply. "Gods and ghosts are unreliable. Theories about ghosts and gods are unreliable after all." He said, "Otherwise you wouldn't have come." "why?" "Because you should be a dead person now, under Gao Jianfei's 'tears'." Zhuo Dong said, "Your fate was already doomed in the dark." He sighed again: "Now I know how ridiculous this statement is." "What about before?" Xiao Leixue asked, "Do you believe it before?" "I don't necessarily believe it, and I don't necessarily believe it." "So you tried your best to ask me to kill Gao Jianfei." Xiao Leixue asked again, "Do you want to see which of us will die at the hands of whom?" "yes." "No matter who died, you probably won't be sad." "I really won't." Zhuo Dong said, "No matter who dies, it will be good for me. If you two die together, it will be even more wonderful. I will definitely arrange your funeral properly." What he said was the truth, Zhuo Donglai always told the truth. Because he doesn't have to tell lies. In front of most people, there is no need for him to lie at all, and it is useless to lie to others. Xiao Leixue has already seen this. He likes to fight against this kind of people, it can save a lot of unnecessary trouble. It is far more enjoyable to fight against such people than to be their friends. "I always only tell the truth," Xiao Leixue said, "You'd better believe everything I say." "I must believe it." "I know you haven't met me yet, you must really want to see what kind of person I am." "I really want to die." "But you only have to look back at me once, and you'll never see anything else." "I won't turn back." Zhuo Dong said, "I don't want to die yet." "Telling the truth is a good habit, I hope you can keep it," Xiao Leixue's voice was flat, "As long as you tell a lie, I will make you die in this wooden barrel." "I said that I don't want to die yet." Zhuo Donglai's voice was also very calm, "Of course I don't want to die naked in such a wooden barrel, you should believe that I will never do this." "very good." Xiao Leixue seemed to be very satisfied with this situation, so he immediately asked the one thing he wanted to know the most. "Twenty years ago, I made a contract to kill someone. Do you know about this?" "I know." "The most important item on the contract has always been blank, and one name has been missing." "I know that too." "Someone has sent this contract to me now, and a person's name has been filled in it." Xiao Leixue asked again, "Do you know whose name it is?" "I know." Zhuo Donglai actually smiled, "I filled in that name, how could I not know?" "Did you make the contract with me?" "No." Zhuo Dong said, "I'm not worthy yet." "Did you send it?" "Yes." Zhuo Donglai said, "A person asked me to send it. First send the contract to the Earth Temple, and then go outside the city to light the blood fire. In order to make sure that you see it, I click it once a day, three times in a row. sky." "A person asked you to send it." Xiao Leixue's voice suddenly became hoarse, "Do you know who that person is?" "I know." Zhuo Dong said, "People who knew him thought he had died a long time ago, and many people didn't know his name at all, but I know, except you, no one knows more than me. " "You know he's not dead yet?" "yes." "Do you also know where his people are?" "yes." "Very good," Xiao Leixue's voice seemed to be torn apart, "Now you can stand up." "Why stand up?" "Because you're taking me to see him." "Can I not go?" "cannot." Zhuo Donglai immediately stood up, he never argues about things that cannot be argued. "You can put on your sable and put on your shoes." Xiao Leixue said, "but you'd better not do anything else." Zhuo Donglai stepped out of the tub and put on the sable. His movements are slow and every movement is cautious. Because he already heard the hatred and murderous intent in Xiao Leixue's voice. Xiao Leixue would not kill him, nor would he cut off his legs, but as long as his actions made Xiao Leixue feel that there was something wrong, there must be a certain part of him that would leave him. He will never give anyone this opportunity. Xiao Leixue was undoubtedly observing him, observing his every movement very carefully. "I know that you have always been a very proud person. Your reflexes and speed are fast enough, and you have practiced Neijia Qigong very well. There are few people in the world who can defeat you." Xiao Leixue said, "I believe in Sima Chaoqun. Not your match either, because he's nowhere near as calm as you. I've never met a calmer man than you." "Sometimes I think so too." Zhuo Donglai laughed again, "Everyone will inevitably have moments of narcissism, especially in the middle of the night when there is no one around, when Bo is slightly drunk." "You haven't seen me, and you haven't seen me make a move, how do you know that I'm really stronger than you?" Xiao Leixue asked lightly, "Have you ever thought that maybe you can kill me as soon as you make a move?" "I haven't thought about it." Zhuo Dong said, "I don't even think about such things." "why?" "Because I absolutely forbid myself to think about it," Zhuo Donglai smiled as if a little sentimental, "If a person can survive, he can't even think about things like this." Xiao Leixue sneered: "So you would rather become obedient like a dog than dare to make a move?" "Yes." Zhuo Dong said, "There are many things like this in this world." 【Fives】 The narrow gate outside the small courtyard was closed tightly. Zhuo Dong came to knock on the door, three times first, and then once. This method of knocking on the door was undoubtedly a secret agreement between him and the old man in the courtyard, but there was no response from the small courtyard. "He's not in now?" "He's here." Zhuo Dong said, "He must be here." "Do you want to inform him that someone he can't see is coming and ask him to leave quickly?" "You should know that he won't leave. He has never escaped in his life." Zhuo Donglai told Xiao Leixue, "Besides, he already knew that you would definitely come to him." But there was still no answer from the small courtyard, Zhuo Donglai knocked on the door again, a little harder. The door opened suddenly, and opened a thread. Although the door was open, it was not locked or bolted from the inside. The old man didn't leave either. In the quiet small courtyard, the fragrance of flowers is still there, the ancient pine is still there, the small pavilion is still the same, and the old man is still sitting in the small pavilion. Facing the snow field in front of the pavilion, it seems that there are still butterflies dancing in front of the pavilion. Die Wu no longer dances. The old man will never grow old again. Only thoughts and feelings can make a person old. If a person can no longer think and feel, he will not be old anymore. The old man can no longer think, can no longer think, judge and plan anything. The old man no longer has feelings, and no longer has melancholy, pain, joy, trouble, lovesickness and memories. Only the dead cease to have thoughts and feelings, only the dead never grow old. The old man is dead. He was still sitting in the kiosk with an incomparably elegant and leisurely posture as when he was alive, but he was dead. His eyes, a mixture of old man's wisdom and child's mischief, no longer looked like a sunlit ocean, no longer the brilliance of the sun and the blue of the water. His eyes had turned dead gray, just like the sky when it was never too late and snow was not snowing. Seeing these eyes, Zhuo Donglai couldn't go any further, he didn't even want to go one step further. His whole body seemed to be stiff, as stiff as this dead old man. Then he saw Xiao Leixue. Xiao Leixue doesn't look tall, but in fact he is a little taller than most people, and he is very thin. His hair was pitch black, not even a little gray, tied in a bun with a very light gray cloth. The clothes he was wearing were also made of this kind of gray cloth, and the tailoring was ill-fitting and the workmanship was not good. He was carrying a suitcase in his hand, an old and ordinary suitcase. That's all Zhuo Donglai saw, because all he saw was Xiao Leixue's back. As if a gust of wind was blowing past him, this person who had been sticking behind him like a shadow all this time suddenly moved in front of him. What does this most mysterious and terrifying person in the rivers and lakes look like?Zhuo Donglai still couldn't see. But a person who rarely shows emotion on his face often shows emotion on his back inadvertently. Xiao Leixue's back was tense, every muscle was tense, and then began to tremble non-stop, as if being whipped hard by an invisible whip. The death of the old man is the whip. Anyone could tell from his voice that he was by no means the old man's friend. There was undoubtedly some irresolvable animosity between them. He forced Zhuo Dong to come to him, probably to use the old man's blood to wash away the resentment and hatred in his heart. Now that the old man is dead, why is he so painful, excited and sad? What is even more unexpected is Zhuo Donglai. He is by no means an open-minded person, and he will never allow anyone to violate his self-esteem. No one in this world has ever insulted him like Xiao Leixue, and this kind of insult can only be washed away with blood. If he killed Xiao Leixue, no one would be surprised, and no one would feel regretful. Even if he drank Xiao Leixue's blood like drinking wine, no one would feel bad. Xiao Leixue is not a person worthy of sympathy, Zhuo Donglai should have killed him in the first place.As long as you have a chance, you shouldn't let him go. Now is the best time for Zhuo Donglai to make a move. Now Xiao Leixue's back is like a large piece of flat, fertile land that is completely undefended, waiting for someone to invade and trample on it. Now is the time when he is most emotional, most prone to negligence and mistakes. But Zhuo Donglai didn't even move at all. This kind of opportunity is like a cloud that flies right in front of you, fleeting and never coming again.Zhuo Donglai's breathing stopped suddenly, and his pupils contracted again. He finally saw this person, the most mysterious and terrifying person in the world. Xiao Leixue turned around and faced Zhuo Donglai. His face is a very ordinary face, but his eyes are like a sword just out of its sheath. "If someone wants to kill me, just now is the best chance." Xiao Leixue said, "There will never be another chance like that." "I can see that." "Why didn't you make a move just now?" "Because I don't want to kill you." Zhuo Dong said very sincerely, "I have never thought about such things." "You should think about it." Xiao Leixue said, "You should know that I will definitely kill you." "Will you kill me?" Zhuo Donglai's eyes never left this man's face, "You seem to never kill people for free." "This time is an exception." "why?" "Because you killed him." Zhuo Donglai's eyes finally shifted to the old man in the pavilion: "You said I killed him? Do you think he will die in my hands?" "Of course you couldn't move him, not even a single hair." Xiao Leixue said, "Although your martial arts are not bad, he can put you to death with a single gesture." "Perhaps all he needs to do is use one finger." “可是现在的情况已不同。”萧泪血说，“他在没有死之前，就已经是个废人。” “你看得出他的真气内力都早已就被人废了？” "I can see that." “你是不是刚才看出来的？” “他纵横天下，行踪一向飘忽，如果不是因为功力已失，怎么肯躲到这里来，寄居在一个他绝对不会看得起的人的屋檐下？” “他当然不会看得起我这样一个人，但他却还是到我这里来。”卓东来说，“因为他知道我这个人至少有一点好处。” "What good?" “我很可靠，非常可靠。”卓东来说，“不但人可靠，嘴也可靠。” "Oh?" “江湖中从来没有人知道他的功力已失，也没有人知道他隐居在这里，因为我一直守口如瓶。” 这一点萧泪血也不能否认。 “江湖中想要他这条命的人很不少，如果我要出卖他，他早已死在别人手里。”卓东来说，“就算我要亲手杀他，也不必等到现在。” 这一点无疑也是事实。 “而且他还救过我一命，所以才会在最危险的时候来找我。”卓东来说，“你想我会不会害死我唯一的恩人？” “你会！” "yes." “但是我早已知道。”卓东来说，“多年前我就已知道。” "Oh?" “他来的时候，功力就已被人废了。所以才会隐居在这里，这一点你也应该想像得到。” 萧泪血承认。 二十年前，老人还未老，那时候江湖已经没有几个人是他的对手。 萧泪血声音冰冷：“别人不会，可是你会。” “他的功力虽失，头脑仍在。”萧泪血说，“他的头脑就像是个永远挖不尽的宝藏，里面埋藏着的思想智慧和秘密，远比世上任何珠宝都珍贵。” 他冷冷地看着卓东来：“你一直不杀他，只因为他对你还有用。” 卓东来沉默着，也不知道过了多久，忽然长长地叹了口气。 “是的！”卓东来居然承认了，“是我杀了他。” 萧泪血的手握紧，提着箱子的手，瞬息间就可以杀人的箱子。 “其实他一直到现在对我都还是有用的。”卓东来叹息，“只可惜现在他已经到了非死不可的时候了。” 他看着萧泪血手里的箱子：“现在你是不是已经准备出手了？” "yes." “在你出手之前，能不能告诉我一件事？” "What's up?" “你要杀我真的是因为你要为他复仇？” 卓东来不等萧泪血回答这问题，就已经先否定了这一点。 “不是的。”他说，“你绝不会为他复仇，因为我看得出你恨他，远比世上所有的人都恨他，如果他还活着，你也会杀了他。” “是的。”萧泪血居然也立刻承认，“如果他不死，我也会杀了他的。” 他的声音又因痛苦而嘶哑：“可是在我出手之前，我也会问他一件事。”萧泪血说，“一件只有他才能告诉我的事，一件只有他才能解答的秘密。” "What secret?" “你不知道我要问什么？” 卓东来反问：“如果我知道又怎么样？你会不会放过我？” 萧泪血冷冷地看着他，没有再说一个字，萧泪血又长长叹息。 “可惜我不知道，真的不知道。” “那实在很可惜。” 萧泪血要问的是什么事？ 无论那是什么事，现在都已不重要了。 因为现在老人已死，这个世界上已经没有人能解答这个秘密。 卓东来已经死了，无论谁都应该可以看出他已经死定了。 萧泪血已经打开了他的箱子。 ——天下最可怕的武器是什么？ ——是一口箱子。 箱子可怕，提着箱子的这个人更可怕。 卓东来的瞳孔又开始收缩。 他的眼睛在看着这个人，他的脸上在流着冷汗，他全身肌肉都在颤抖跳动。 “崩”的一响，箱子开了，开了一线。 就像是媚眼如丝的情人之眼，那么样的一条线。 【six】 无论是在什么时候什么地方，只要这口箱子打开这么样一条线，这个地方就会有一个人会被提着箱子的这个人像牛羊般审判。 这个地方也就会像是个屠场。
