"The ninth time. The Truth Came Out
Chapter: 6501 Words
An hour later, the car arrived at the old town and stopped at the south of the town. "Go and see your friend. He has already recovered. I will come and find you in a few days.”After Steve finished speaking, he rolled up the window and the car gradually drove away with the music.
I returned to the hotel and went to the basement. It seemed like it was just as they said. They were only helping Jin open his meridians and let him increase his strength on the verge of life and death. Kaede, you're back." Ember was very happy to see me back. Ziqing was also here. They should all know each other and get along.
I told Ash what happened just now, and Ash was also very surprised. " Then what should we do now?" Ember asked. "We'll beat them at their own game and use their strength to obtain the curse.”I said.
"But they are all experts. Just you, me, Ziqing, Chi Ze, Fan, Qian, Jing Muyan, Ye Qing, Meng Zilong, Chu Tianwen, Luo Min, all of us combined might not even be able to defeat one of them.”Jin frowned.
"That's right. This is also the problem that I'm currently having a headache over. Our strength is not enough to protect ourselves, let alone them. Moreover, the other party was a strict organization made up of nine people.”I told him about my suffering.
"You're back." Uncle Tai walked in." How did it go?”he asked, and I told him again. He thought for a moment." They are indeed difficult to deal with. The old man couldn't do anything to them back then. However, the old man said that you are the only power that can defeat them, and you will definitely succeed.”
"Old man, are you that confident?" I didn't understand. The old man knew my strength the best. If it was an ordinary person or even a martial artist whose battle strength was above mine, I would have full confidence in winning. However, the situation was completely different now. I was facing an expert that I had never seen before…
"He said that you still have great potential hidden in your bodies. What you are using now is only the surface of the surface. "When you excavate your own potential, you will be able to continuously increase your strength. Moreover, it will not be calculated by multiple times, but by realm. "At that time, you will become people that no one can defeat…" Uncle Tai said.
Hearing Uncle Tai's words, we were all deeply shocked. This was something we had never thought of before. Although we knew that there was such a thing as untapped potential in one's body, it was still not within the scope of one's ability. Now, the old man actually said that we have extraordinary talent, and that the improvement will not be based on the multiple of strength, but on the realm. "We have to think about this matter carefully. Let's go back first and find Chi Ze and the others before discussing.”I told Ember. "Yes, I think so too. This matter is too complicated. We have to work together to have a chance of winning.”said Jin.
"Uncle Tai, thank you for treating my wounds and taking such good care of me."”Uncle Tai patted Jin's head." There's no need to thank me. Be careful. If there's anything, tell me immediately. I'll help you, understand?"”We nodded.
"Since the people from Gui Fu know about my relationship with the old man, and the old man had fought with them before, I'm sure they have their eyes on him. Could it be…" I asked Uncle Tai.
Uncle Tai frowned and was a little uncertain."The old man told me not to worry about him because he knew everything from the beginning to the end. Moreover, it's hard to say whether Gui Fu's people have their eyes on the old man or if the old man has already set his eyes on Gui Fu.”
There were indeed two possibilities. Of course, I was naturally hoping for the latter possibility, because that way, the old man and Uncle Tai would be in less danger, and we would have a greater chance of winning.
Uncle Tai then told me some simple things about him and the old man. It turned out that Uncle Tai had taken the old man as his master 16 years ago and had been living in the ancient town since then. He opened this inn and looked like an ordinary middle-aged man on the surface, but he hid his extraordinary skills!
Moreover, for so many years, he had never revealed his master-disciple relationship with the old man. Even after following the old man for three years, I didn't know that the old man had Uncle Tai as his disciple other than me.
"Originally, I should call you junior brother. After all, we are from the same master. However, the matter at hand is urgent and we cannot let our guard down. We should try our best to keep our contact confidential and not let Gui Fu discover our special relationship.”Uncle Tai told me.
I understood what Uncle Tai meant. After a few more words of negotiation, I prepared to return to Urban area.
"What about you?" I asked Ziqing. What do you plan to do?" "I've decided to go with you."”"With us? It's very dangerous. Have you thought it through?”Jin asked and nodded seriously.
"As long as you're willing to be a good person, you'll definitely gain true happiness and friends!" Uncle Tai patted Mai Qing's shoulder.”
The three of us bid farewell to Uncle Tai and walked towards the eastern exit of the ancient town. At this moment, the first ray of the morning sun broke through the darkness and slowly filled the horizon.
"No one can save you today!”A group of people walked towards them. The leader was Hua Hu, followed by nearly 50 people. They were all strong men. "What should we do? It's just the three of us?”Ziqing whispered. I think the old man's words might come true from now on. I raised my left fist, and Ember got into position.
Because we all feel that our current strength has increased by more than three times. It was because Jin's meridians had been opened up and he had experienced the edge of life and death. As for me, with the old man's guidance and my experience in fighting Kong Shi and King, it shouldn't be a problem for me to deal with the person in front of me.
"Go!" Under Hua Hu's command, the burly men behind us rushed at us with their fists. I asked Zi Qing to retreat to the side while Jin and I fought back to back. Sure enough, as I expected, although our martial arts skills didn't improve much, our strength had greatly improved. The other party's offense was suppressed by the two of us.
After more than twenty minutes, almost everyone was exhausted and groaning on the ground. Hua Hu looked at the person on the ground and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes. However, anger quickly occupied his mind."Even if I fall at your feet today, I won't stop until I kill you!”
As he spoke, he raised his heavy fist and rushed over. Jin smiled slightly and raised his hand to catch his fist. Then, he used an uppercut, a simple move, to break all of Hua Hu's strength.
Hua Hu fell heavily to the ground. It was obvious that he was injured by Jin's punch.
"I'll say it one last time, we didn't kill your third brother.”Ember said to him. Hua Hu struggled to get up from the ground. A series of sweeping back and Fox Fist went straight for the center line of Jin's body. It seemed that Hua Hu had quite a special understanding of martial arts. Just this move alone was not difficult to see that the center line was very accurate and had a good sense of balance.
However, in the face of absolute power, any technique was useless. This is also why the old man hasn't taught me many techniques. He wants me to connect my own strength to be strong enough, then master the techniques of the various sects and reach a higher realm.
Jin shouted and punched out. This attack probably used the sixth level of inner force. Just as I expected, Hua Hu's chest was heavily smashed by Jin's fist, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. No matter how sturdy his body was, this punch would at least cause enough damage to him. It was impossible for him to get up from the ground in a short period of time.
I called Ziqing, who was still in shock. He obviously didn't expect us to be so powerful, but both of us knew that this wasn't enough. At present, we can't even deal with the people of Gui Fu. Moreover, the old man said that there are many experts in this world that we can't imagine. Only by constantly training ourselves can we become stronger and stronger.
"I think that Hua Hu's third brother was killed by Gui Fu's men and then sold to me.”Jin said to me," That's right. It was the person you fought with, Kong Shi Sha.”
We called a taxi and drove to Urban area.
I gave Chi Ze a call, he said that everyone is at his house, waiting for us to return.
An hour and a half later, the taxi stopped in front of Chi Ze's house.
Ziqing gave us the fare and we got out of the car. Fan was waiting for us at the door. him... He is?" Fan saw us and immediately ran over. After seeing that we were safe, he pointed at Ziqing and asked.
"He's a friend of mine.”The four of us walked into the house together. Chi Ze, Chi Han, Qian, Jing Muyan, Ye Qing, Meng Zilong, Chu Tianwen, and Luo Min were all present.
"Ziqing!" Meng Zilong recognized Ziqing at a glance. The Jade Snake Gang was often suppressed by the Black Tiger Gang in the past, so he was naturally very familiar with Ziqing.
When Jing Muyan saw this, he stood up and was about to hit Ziqing. "Muyan, don't be impulsive." This matter has nothing to do with him. Besides, he's on our side now and is helping us.”
As he listened, he slowly withdrew his fist, looking skeptical. "What, you still don't trust me?”" Everyone, calm down first. We have to tell everyone the true situation of this matter."”
We sat down." Chi Ze, how did you come back yesterday?"”I took the cup from Chihan and drank it in one gulp. "When we came out of the warehouse last night, Jin said that he would pick you up. A man in his twenties came and said that he was your friend. He rushed over to pick us up. Let us go with him first, and you can follow him later. We got into the car with him and came back to wait for you. Why did you come back so late?”
"What does that person look like?" I asked. "It's too dark at night, so I can't see him clearly. He's wearing a hoodie and looks very avant-garde. We were wondering why you arranged for your friends to come and pick us up.”I guessed that the person should be King.
I told them everything in detail from the beginning to the end.
Everyone was shocked!
"You mean, join them? After I get the treasure, I'll take the opportunity to guess my intentions. "That's right, that's what I think." I said," However, in order to deal with such a powerful opponent, we have to continuously strengthen ourselves from now on. Moreover, we have to work together and not slack off at all. All our plans have to be rigorous. Only by doing so could he defeat them with wisdom.”
"Alright, everyone should rest first. We've been exhausted these past few days.”Jin stood up. "Chi Ze, please rent two rooms for Jing Muyan and Ziqing.”I said. Right now, Jing Muyan and the others don't trust Ziqing very much, but I believe that they will become friends soon. It's only a matter of time.
After saying goodbye to everyone and reminding them to be careful, we all went home.
As soon as he entered, the fatigue he had been holding on for so long collapsed and attacked his entire body. I suddenly felt weak and collapsed to the ground. His vision became darker and darker, darker and darker, darker and darker…
I didn't know how long I slept for. I opened my eyes with difficulty and found myself lying in the living room. I propped myself up and took out my phone to look. It was already eight o'clock at night. I had slept for an entire day. The only thing I felt right now was hunger. I opened the fridge, took out some food, and prepared dinner.
I recalled the old man's words about the state of selflessness. What is selflessness? If I really reach that stage, I wonder how much my power will increase. I've been cultivating for more than a year, but I haven't improved much. However, in just a few hours, I've improved by three times, and this is just the tip of the iceberg.
I didn't dare to continue thinking about it. At first, I learned martial arts to cultivate my body and mind. I didn't expect it to reach this stage.
Sometimes, the strength of one's ego could become terrifying…
After cooking, she sat in front of the television and watched the international news while eating. On the screen, there were many scenes of war, and many thin and weak faces that had been ravaged by the flames of war. A small country far away was at war, and the ambitions of politicians and the so-called system had brought endless disasters...
Dare I ask, what is the point of killing like this? Other than losing the most precious thing, there seems to be no return. No matter who won or lost in the end, it would be a loss for both sides. In other words, the side that did not win would lose. They had lost countless lives, resources, and homes. For what did not originally belong to them, they wantonly destroyed and plundered. What kind of sin was this? What people really needed was a peaceful life…
This world was always like this. There was too much cruelty. It was just like war. Everyone was innocent. The people were innocent. They could have lived happily, and the children could have studied and played happily. The adults could fight for their careers and their families. They were innocent. Who cared? They were the true masters of the world. Their wishes were the most simple, genuine, and simple. They were the main body of the world. Those who participated in the war were mostly innocent. They had their own homes and families. How could they not want peace and a happy life? However, they had no choice but to pick up their weapons and become killing machines.
This world was innocent…
After dinner, I turned off the TV and sat on the rocking chair. I took out the CD player and played a beloved classical music CD. The notes flowed into my ears and slowly flowed into every inch of my skin.
The clock struck midnight.
After removing the ear vein, the night was terrifyingly quiet. I sat alone in the darkness, feeling every inch of my senses. He picked up the wooden guitar that was leaning against the piano. His fingers slowly slid across the strings, and a string of melodious notes rippled in his ears, spreading throughout the small house, drifting for a long time.
I have always loved music. Only in music can I forget all the noise of the world and find my true self. She liked to play the piano and dance lightly on the black and white keyboard. He liked to play the bass, repeating the deep words in the deep, like to play the drum set, using the angry drum sticks to hit the angry rhythm; He liked to play the sax and forget his troubles in the smooth and melodious music. He liked to play the violin and find gentleness in the euphemism.
However, my favorite is still the guitar. Whether it's gentle and delicate or majestic, I can find the freedom I seek on the strings.
His fingers gently stroked the strings, and the tinkling sound of the six-stringed instrument echoed in his ears. Ding dong…
The sky gradually turned white, and light spilled out from the window and onto the table.
I turned on my computer and checked my email. Jin and Hao had sent me a message asking how I was doing. It seems that they already know that we are back. I sent each of them an email to tell them that I was fine and not to worry.
She took out the photo album from the folder. The five of them were huddled together. It was such a happy time, but it had become a memory, an eternal memory. He had already left. No matter whether he was right or wrong, I didn't want to destroy the purest and most beautiful memories in my heart.
He brewed a pot of tea and held a roll of ink. As he pondered over the words, his words were filled with vicissitudes and tranquility.
Literature is also my companion when I'm lonely. Words represented thoughts, extending into the depths of one's soul with the passage of time…
Often in the middle of the night, holding a pencil, the notes that appeared in his mind jumped from the black and white keyboard onto the paper. Compose a melody, and then fill in the melancholy lyrics. Time flowed like water, still holding the six-string zither and singing alone, singing about the green years, singing about the painful youth.
The time of the day passed by in the blink of an eye.
The ringing of my phone broke the silence of the evening. Ash called me and asked me to go to the rehearsal room.
I tidied up the house and rode my bicycle towards the rehearsal room. The last rays of the setting sun faded into the twilight.
Walking into the rehearsal room, Ember sat there alone. I closed the door and walked over. She pulled a stool over and sat beside him.""What's wrong? Do you want to die?" I asked, looking tearfully at the place where the drum was placed. The Pi had once sat there and sang with us, but now...
I didn't ask any more questions. I gently patted Jin's shoulder, got up, picked up a pair of drum sticks, and walked to the drum set.
Staring at the drum, grief struck his heart again. I raised the drum stick in my hand, and it seemed to still have the warmth of the sun on it. Waving the drum sticks, the angry sound of a drum set echoed in the room…
There were steady footsteps outside the door. I stopped, and Jin also felt it. Who would come here so late? The locked door opened gently. A young man stood at the door. It was Steve.
I walked over to Ash and whispered,""He's the Steve from Ghost Seal.”Ember also stood up. We stood side by side and watched Steve walk over."You were the one who played the drum set Solo just now, right?”
He looked at me, but I didn't say anything. "I heard that you are very proficient in many instruments? Shall we play together?" As he spoke, he picked up the drumsticks I had placed on the side and walked straight to the drum set.
Jin and I looked at him, and he just smiled slightly. Suddenly, his expression quickly disappeared, and a devilish rhythm entered our ears. We had never seen such a superb fighting style. What a fast speed. Even those famous drum kings in the world were not as good as him. He seemed to be deeply intoxicated by the demonic death music he had created.
Before Ember and I could recover from the rhythm, Steve walked to the piano stand, took off a bass, and connected it to the loudspeaker."You play the bass, right? Xiao Tian Jin?" He asked," Nice to meet you." After saying that, the low rhythm of the bass spread out in his ears. I have to admit that Steve's piano skills are beyond my imagination. Although Jin is already considered a master of bass, Steve can be described as a master.
Putting down the bass, Steve took two electric guitar and handed me one."Shall we play the zither?" I took the piano and connected it to the amplifier and effects. Jin also picked up the bass and prepared to play the piano together…
Steve started the solo on the lead guitar with the technique of tapping the strings. This was an impromptu Solo. I played the chord rhythm, and Ember followed with the bass rhythm. The rhythm became faster and faster, and the changes became more and more complicated. The corners of his mouth curled up into an evil smile. We almost couldn't keep up. His various techniques were used to perfection. His speed and rhythm were definitely top-notch experts, making people admire him.
It turned out that this person not only had outstanding martial arts, but also had outstanding musical talent.
Suddenly, Steve's left hand, which was playing in the high position, moved up quickly. He changed into the rhythm. I quickly followed his chords and started the solo, but Steve's chord interval started to conflict with my melody and Ash's rhythm. Soon, our Solo and rhythm could not be carried out.
"Your zither skills are very good.”Ember took the bass off his shoulder and said to the piano. Steve put down his electric guitar.”I put down the guqin.”He didn't say anything. He walked to the double-layered keyboard, turned it on, and caressed the black and white keyboard with both hands. He turned his head and said,""Give him the bass."
Jin handed me the bass. I hung up the quilt belt and my fingers floated on the strings. Steve closed his eyes and his fingers danced lightly on the keys. The notes slowly flowed out. This was a very soft piece of music. Although it was improvised by him, it seemed very familiar, but he could not recall it no matter how hard he tried. He plucked the strings gently, and a low melody flowed down like flowing water.
This music made it easy for people to recall the past, sink into their thoughts, and inadvertently forget…
"Not bad. As expected of the person chosen by the general. Do you know, you are the first person to cooperate with me so perfectly?”Steve said.
"You didn't come to look for us today just for a zither battle, right?”I put down the bass and walked up to him. He smiled and stretched out his slender fingers."Of course not. There will be a new mission in five days.”
"What new mission?" Jin asked. "The mission this time is to assassinate the president of a multi-national company. He will come here in five days to sign a contract with another company. Our mission is to assassinate him in this city.”
"Why did you kill him?" Jin didn't understand. He also felt that things were very troublesome. Why did he do such a thing? It was not that he was afraid of breaking the law, but that his conscience could not bear it.
"Before the mission is completed, other than the general, no one knows why. They just need to complete the mission, including any future missions.”Steve said, sitting on a stool and looking at us sideways.
"Then what is the plan this time?" I asked. "The other party probably doesn't know that he's in danger this time, and he didn't bring many bodyguards. We already know their whereabouts. When the time comes, we just need to listen to the command of the surveillance team, Keith. He still didn't tell us what we wanted to know.
Steve stood up and walked out of the door."Oh right, the members of this operation are me, the two of you, Kong Shi, and Keith.”With that, he opened the door and disappeared into the night.
"Do you think we should do this?" Ember hesitated. "Let's do it. If we don't do it, we'll be the ones at a disadvantage. Only after we've gathered the blueprints and our martial arts have reached a certain level can we defeat them one by one.”I said as I put the violin back on the stand. "Why did you ask me to come here?" I asked.
"Nothing. I just feel a little stifled and want to talk to you.”Ember sighed.
I sat back down next to Ember." Let's not think about those things. We need to pull ourselves together to deal with everything and every opponent in front of us.”I put my hand on Ember's shoulder. In fact, at this moment, I was even more fragile than Ember. I didn't know how I could say these seemingly strong words.
We just sat there and talked about the past, letting the memories cover up our grief for the time being…
