The Six Paths of Reincarnation
"Can I take back the heart I gave you?"
Xiao Congrong also heard Chu Qingkuang's loud whistle and saw the Scorpio bead sent by Qi Ze, she was stunned.
The Bi Ling hairpin broke and the Ye Ming pearl shattered, but only this Scorpio bead had a unique texture and was not damaged at all, quietly lying on the table.
"Rong'er... even if you hate me in the future, don't take it off... this is my heart, let it always be with you!"
The words of Chu Qing's light and crazy are still in my ears, but Xiao Zong has not had the courage to wear it back. He silently picked up the pearl, originally wanting to put it close to his body, but it didn't fit anywhere.
This scorpion bead is a detoxifying sacred object, it would be such a pity if it were lost. After some thought, I decided to bring it back and wear it around my neck again.
Let's just temporarily help Qīng Kuáng keep it for now! We'll return it to him when we meet again in the future!
But seeing what happened to Bi Ling and Ye Ming Zhu, she didn't know if she still had the courage to give it back to him!
That man's anger was actually calmed down by being extravagant, this temper is too luxurious, if she had known he was so wasteful, she wouldn't have returned it to him, just sell it and donate the money to buy winter clothes for the border soldiers!
Thinking of Qī Zé saying Chǔ Qīng's crazy departure, Xiāo was calm and speechless. From then on, they didn't see each other again. He was angry, but couldn't she be angry too?
It's better that they don't meet, lest she be reminded of her despair every time she sees him. The only medicine in the world that could have saved her is gone, and she doesn't need to see him to remind herself that she can never stand up again!
Xiao Congrong thought with a gambler's air, it would be best if he went back and married Shui Pei, never to come to the capital again, this was truly a farewell.
Just then, Xianglan walked in and looked outside before gently closing the door.
Xiao Zongrong regained his composure, furrowed his brow and looked at her, then walked over to Lan and whispered: "Third Miss, Third Prince is searching everywhere outside, do you know who he's looking for?"
Xiao Congrong was shocked, remembering the loud whistle of Chu Qingcang from earlier. He suddenly became anxious, "This idiot, doesn't he know that Wu Mingyuan is looking for him? How can he be so reckless and reveal his whereabouts, does he want to die?"
"Is it related to Master Chu?" Xiang Lan asked, guessing from her expression.
Xiao Zongrong looked at Xiang Lan with a calm expression, nodded silently, and anyway, Xiang Lan was present from start to finish. As long as he thought about it, he could guess it, so there was no use hiding it.
Lan furrowed her brow and asked: "Is Chu Gongzi the one who cut off the fingers of the three princes?"
Xiao Congrong nodded again and smiled wryly: "That idiot is so famous, even you know about it?"
Towards Lan's face revealed a look of surprise, looked at Xiao Zongrong, wanting to speak but hesitated.
Xiao Zongrong can only choose to trust her now, raising an eyebrow and saying: "Aren't you treating me as a friend? Between friends, anything can be said, and even if I say something wrong, I won't hold it against you!"
Xiang Lan smiled bitterly: "Do you know how much gold the Third Prince paid for the head of the person who cut off his fingers?"
"How much?" Xiao asked calmly and subconsciously.
"One hundred thousand taels of gold!" Xiang Lan stretched out her hand and licked her lips, saying: "Our 'Six Paths' killer, for this one hundred thousand taels of gold, almost all of them were mobilized! He really isn't afraid of death, and actually revealed his tracks!"
"Ah......" Xiao Zongrong's eyes widened and he asked: "How many people are in your 'Six Paths'?"
Lan said: "Our organization is called 'Six Paths of Reincarnation', abbreviated as 'Six Paths'. Each path has a guardian in charge, and the least under his command has at least one hundred people. You can figure it out yourself!"
Xiao Congrong heard this and took a deep breath, the Six Paths with six hundred people, nearly a thousand killers, the scale of the Six Paths was too large, they were all out in full force, Chu Qingkuang alone was not enough to fill their gaps!
Thinking of this, she suddenly became anxious and grabbed Xiang Lan's hand, asking: "Is there any way to save him? I don't want him to fall into Wu Mingyuan's hands!"
After all, Chu Qingcang was also trying to save her at that time and got entangled with Wu Mingyuan. She might as well return him the favor! In his heart, Xiao Zongrong denied that he wanted to save him because he cared about him!
Xiang Lan hesitated for a moment and said: "It's not that there's no way, but Third Miss, to save him, you must pay the price. Are you sure you really want to save him?"
"I'll save him, no matter the cost!" Xiao Zongrong said firmly. She could hate Chu Qingkong, resent Chu Qingkong, but she wouldn't allow anyone to harm him, especially not Wu Mingyuan!
"Alright, I know! I'll go arrange for someone to save him first, then we can talk!" Xiang Lan said bluntly and left.
Xiao Cong Rong slowly calmed down and discovered that Xiang Lan was not simple. She actually said she could rescue Chu Qing Kuang from the hands of nearly a thousand killers, and even if we don't talk about whether she can succeed or not, just this courage alone makes people dare not underestimate her. Is she really just an assassin?
Xiao Congrong didn't know how to rescue Chu Qing, only knowing that by nightfall, Lan hadn't returned. When Cui Zhu came to light the lamps, she curiously asked: "Third Miss, have you seen Eldest Sister Lan? It seems like we haven't seen her for half a day!"
Xiao answered calmly: "Oh, I asked her to go out and buy something for me, she just came back and said she's going to eat!"
"Oh, I said so!" Cui Zhu yawned and saw Xiao Zong looking at her, frightened and quickly covered herself with her hand.
Xiao Zongrong smiled and said: "You're tired, go rest first! I'm almost ready to rest too!"
"That servant girl has retired!" Cui Zhu was young after all, and upon hearing Xiao Zong's words, she happily returned to her room to rest.
Xiao Congrong was quietly reading a book under the lamp when she heard the door creak, looked up and saw Xiang Lan slipping in.
After all, she was an assassin. Xiao couldn't read any emotions from her calm face. It wasn't until she walked over that he quietly asked, "How is it?"
He nodded to Lan and said, "It's nothing! I just let people scatter and create chaos, interfering with Wu Mingyuan's search and diverting attention from Chu Gongzi. It was very simple!"
Xiao Congrong wouldn't be naive enough to think it's really that simple. Tell me, what kind of person is Wu Mingyuan? Are all those assassins vegetarians or something?
But since Xianglan has said so, she naturally wouldn't be foolish enough to question her. A great kindness requires no thanks, and all she can do is wait for a chance to repay her.
She poured a cup of tea for Xiang Lan, didn't ask about Chu Qing's whereabouts, but handed the tea to Xiang Lan with both hands and said: "Xiang Lan, you've helped me twice now. I'm not good at being polite, I only speak the truth. If you want me to help with anything, just say it out loud. If I frown even once, I don't deserve to be your friend!"
Xiang Lan slowly finished drinking the water, then faintly said: "Don't rush to express your opinion first, wait until I tell you what I want you to do and then you can express your opinion. It's still the same sentence, if you can help, then help, if not, I won't blame you!"
"Hmm, go on!" Xiao Zhuang made a gesture of listening carefully, waiting for Xiang Lan to speak.
Let's start with Lan's words from the assassin organization "Six Paths of Reincarnation".
The name of the Six Paths comes from the idea of the six paths that all living beings go through in the cycle of rebirth. The Six Paths can be divided into three good paths and three evil paths. The three good paths are Heaven, Human, and Asura; the three evil paths are Animal, Hungry Ghost, and Hell.
The Rokudou organization was initially said to have been created by a pair of brothers, and at the beginning it wasn't just about making a living by killing people, but also included practicing medicine to save the world.
Sanshengtang is run by brothers with a kind and honest nature, adhering to the spirit of putting people first in their medical practice, saving lives and relieving suffering!
——(
The three evil paths are dominated by the brother who is jealous of evil, with the aim of punishing evil and promoting good, killing corrupt officials and punishing corrupt officials, also doing things like heroic righteousness.
The Three Virtuous Paths and the Three Evil Paths are collectively known as the Six Paths, each with a guardian deity. The overall guardian of the Three Virtuous Paths and the Three Evil Paths is called the General Manager, and the highest leader of the Six Paths is collectively referred to as the Teaching Master.
The leader is replaced every three years by the general manager of Sanshanda and San'eda, who take turns to succeed, can be re-elected, but cannot exceed two terms, so as not to lead the followers astray.
It has been the convention in the past, but since seven years ago, when it was passed to Shen Tianbin, the manager of the Three Evil Paths, this rule was forcibly changed. Shen Tianbin's principle is that the capable should be superior, as long as they can make the Six Paths prosperous and glorious, the rule of changing every three years can be abolished.
After Shen Tianbin took over as the leader, San E Dao received a large number of assassination contracts, regardless of whether it was a vendetta in Jianghu or a bounty from the imperial court, as long as they made money, they would take on any job. In just half a year, they earned six times the silver they had earned in three years under the previous leader, and San E Dao quickly surpassed San Shan Dao.
Three years later, Shen Tianbin naturally succeeded as the leader of the sect. This time, he became even more extreme, developing whatever made money, and even the Three Good Ways were forced to deviate from their mission of saving people, gradually cultivating them into killers.
Yu Jiang, the master of Xiang Lan, was the general manager of San Shan Tao. According to the rules, he should have taken over as the leader in three years, but Shen Tianbin was busy collecting money and had no intention of giving up his position. Afraid that Yu Jiang would unite with San Shan Tao to overthrow him, he even used his wife to plant a loyalty gu on Yu Jiang and several other guardians, starting another round of re-election.
This loyal gu was controlled by Shen Tianbin, and Yu Jiang and others could only be loyal to him. If they had a second heart, the gu would erupt in their body, and they would die with their blood vessels bursting.
Yu Jiang and several others were helpless against him, watching as he made the Six Paths increasingly powerful, constantly stirring up bloody storms in the jianghu, far deviating from the original purpose of the Six Paths, degenerating into a bare killing tool, several people were heartbroken but had no way to stop him...
