Martial Arts Master Travelled to Ancient Time and Farms

A quarter of an hour later, 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 started collection, the eunuch Maren, the confidant of Empress Dowager Xu of Qiguo, 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 eunuch 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 the Cao Mansion, walked through the streets and alleys, avoiding the patrolling beaters, and returned to his home not long after.

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

It's Xiao Man!

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

Xiao Man looked at him sideways, his eyes were clear and serene, but his expression seemed to be a bit like a lake.

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

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

He 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 kind of atmosphere attacked Cheng Ling's original killing intent, which made 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 to look at him, 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 Ma Gonggong.

Cheng Lingdao: "This old eunuch actually said that he was lurking next to King Linhai, in order to find opportunities to fan 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 eunuch scolded me for being ignorant, saying that I killed a King of Linhai, but I broke the sharpest knife facing the family in the world."

"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."

"Locally, 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 exorbitant taxes.

"If you don't kill the family, the wealth in the world will always be in the family, but not in the common people, nor in the court."

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

Speaking of which, Cheng Ling let out a light breath.

She asked Xiao Man, "Brother Xiao, do you think what this old eunuch 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, smiled softly, and said, "Of course I don't regret it, so I will kill this Mr. Ma as well."

Xiao Man then smiled too. He looked at Cheng Ling and said, "Brother Cheng, Xiao has never told you that what I admire most about you is actually this. 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 that Xiao Man would answer, but Xiao Man said, "No, I've never been firm enough."

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

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

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

With that said, Cheng Ling had never seen Xiao Man indecisive.

She said almost without hesitation: "Brother Xiao, there are too many things in this world that are difficult to balance. You can't make a decision. It's not necessarily indecision. How can such an assessment be made easily?"

Xiao Man stared at Cheng Ling and said in a slow voice, "Brother Cheng thinks 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 will 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, then opened his mouth and chewed the sentence "The world is safe and secure, and the Tathagata does not lose 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 heard 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 turned out to be 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. He lost his temper fiercely, and scolded me wantonly."

"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... I knelt in front of the Buddha all night to pray for her, 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."

"Between the lakes and the lakes, 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 that, 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.
