Chapter 35

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but close their eyes and take a deep breath.

Until her death, Run'er never betrayed Hei Bei Lao Liu!

And for this woman, death was actually a relief, sparing her from daily torture.

"Hei Bei Lao Liu, upon learning that Run'er was dead, felt no anger, but rather let out a long sigh of relief."

"Hearing Run'er's final words, he said repeatedly: 'I am not a human, what kind of human am I? She is the human, she is the truly good woman.'"

"With Run'er gone, Hei Bei Lao Liu had no more attachments. He lay low for three years and finally struck when Hall Master Li was so terrified he couldn't take it anymore."

"Several large chests of gold were kicked over by Hei Bei Lao Liu directly onto the path where Hall Master Li was retiring."

"Hall Master Li's bodyguards saw the gold and went completely mad; no one cared about his safety anymore, and they all swarmed to grab the gold."

"It is sigh-worthy that Hei Bei Lao Liu was the Gelao Society's premier blade-wielder, but he used a gun to kill Hall Master Li."

"By then, he could no longer use the Rain-Falling Blade Technique!"

"As for what happened later, everyone knows: Hei Bei Lao Liu went to Old Changsha all alone."

"He became an outcast in the eyes of the Old Nine Gates, living a solitary life, depending on an old prostitute for company."

"Sixth Master, his life was full of misery; one could say he knew not his parents in life, and knew not his destination in death."

"In his youth, his Rain-Falling Blade Technique dominated Sichuan and Shaanxi."

"In his middle age, he became a lone wolf tomb raider; he had no other hobbies in life, only a love for rainy days."

"At this time, Hei Bei Lao Liu would no longer smoke opium, but sit there slowly watching the rain."

"He would say to the old prostitute beside him: 'Look at how beautiful this rain is. Wherever the rain falls, it gets wet...'"

"The word 'Run' was never spoken, just as that woman like a reed flower died forever on the banks of the Jinshajiang."

Yin Yin Nanfeng, hearing this, had tears soaking her eyes.

Old Lady Huo's face was also filled with sorrow.

She hadn't expected that Hei Bei Lao Liu, once called a madman by the Old Nine Gates, had such a heart-stopping past.

Compared to his story on the banks of the Jinshajiang, his time after joining the Old Nine Gates paled in comparison.

Old Lady Huo picked up her phone and dialed a number.

"Go prepare some things; sweep the grave for Sixth Master on my behalf."

The person on the other end of the phone was clearly stunned, then asked: "Are you talking about Sixth Master Hei?"

Old Lady Huo said: "Yes. I suppose no one has visited Sixth Master's grave for many years."

……. ===== CHAPTER 74 =====

Hei Bei Lao Liu's story was finished, but the audience below remained immersed in it, unable to return to reality for a long time.

This was the most direct manifestation of being moved by a story.

Hei Bei Lao Liu never mentioned his past again after taking his revenge.

The people of the Old Nine Gates naturally didn't know that this madman was the Li Tiansong of those years.

And the combination of a lone hero and an unconventional beauty brought an impact far beyond the ordinary.

Besides sighing at Hei Bei Lao Liu's past, some in the audience also felt great sympathy for Run'er.

But the world is big, and there are all kinds of birds; there were always one or two in the crowd who liked to pick faults.

For example, the playboy Young Master Zhao, seeing that everyone was moved, shouted at Zhang Lin with disdain.

"Is a prostitute who has slept with who knows how many men worth you all sighing for her?"

"I think you all have forgotten how vicious that prostitute was when she killed the laborer. What? Is the laborer's life not a life?"

Young Master Zhao's words made everyone present glare at him, but they couldn't refute him.

Run'er killing the laborer was indeed a stain, even more uncomfortable for some than her identity as a prostitute.

Zhang Lin laughed when he saw this, but didn't refute him.

He just said to the crowd: "Let me give you the bottom line: if Run'er hadn't killed that laborer, he would never have escaped."

"You all know Hei Bei Lao Liu's skills; even in that area, he was driven to a dead end by the mastiffs of the blade-wielder team."

"That was truly having no way to heaven and no door to earth. If it weren't for Hei Bei Lao Liu's other miraculous encounters at the time, he would have been caught."

"So the laborer's ultimate fate would have been to be caught back by the blade-wielder team."

Hearing this, Young Master Zhao became even more disdainful.

"Caught back is caught back. At worst, it's death. It's better than dying at the hands of a woman, which is so pathetic, right?"

Zhang Lin raised an eyebrow and continued: "Someone actually thinks it's better to die at the hands of the blade-wielder team?"

"Then I will tell you all about the rules of the Gelao Society and how they treat those who run away with gold."

"If you are caught running away with gold, the gold is still yours, but it will be yours forever—you won't be separated from it until you die!"

Some didn't understand this, but Zhang Yueshan in the second-floor private room had already changed color.

Yin Yin Nanfeng asked curiously: "Is the blade-wielder team so kind? They even bury the gold with the laborer after he dies?"

Zhang Yueshan took a deep breath: "You probably wouldn't want to see that kind of 'never separated' even once in your life."

Yin Yin Nanfeng was still confused, so she listened as Zhang Lin continued.

"Those caught by the blade-wielder team would have all the gold they carried melted and poured into their mouths."

"They would be tied to a pillar, their heads pulled back, faces toward the sky."

"At that time, the person would only be shouting: 'Heaven! Heaven!'"

"But how could the Heavens hear his cries?"

"The executioner would insert a clay funnel into his mouth, and he wouldn't be able to shout anymore."

"Then, right in front of him, they would melt forty catties of gold and pour it all into the funnel!"

"Would a person still want gold at that time?"

"The molten gold would melt through the body starting from the throat, flowing outward, all the way to the chest and abdomen; there wasn't a place that didn't burst open."

"At that time, you couldn't tell if what was gushing out was gold or internal organs..."

Hearing this, some couldn't take it anymore and repeatedly asked Zhang Lin to stop.

It's no wonder people say humans are the cruelest animals in the world.

The punishments humans devise for each other are truly varied!

In this way, the gold truly belonged to the laborer forever, inseparable from his body.

If that fleeing laborer had really been caught, it would indeed have been better to die by Run'er's blade and avoid such inhuman torture.

Young Master Zhao was now speechless and could only sneer twice.

Only Zhang Yueshan and Yin Yin Nanfeng were curious: what exactly was the miraculous encounter Zhang Lin mentioned for Hei Bei Lao Liu?

In such a desperate situation, on a cliff, with mastiffs in pursuit.

Unless he could fly!

Otherwise, he couldn't have escaped.

But Zhang Lin had no intention of continuing.

Hei Bei Lao Liu's story had completely ended.

"Everyone, the story of the wanderer of the Flat Three Gates ends here."

"Next time, we will talk about the Yama among the Yama-wanderer and the Smiling Buddha!"

"This Yama, Chen Pi A-Si, is the one with the best skills in the Old Nine Gates besides Hei Bei Lao Liu."

"But he is also the one with the most notorious reputation!"

"He was originally an actor from the Upper Three Gates, a disciple of Er Yuehong."

"Yet he was able to secure a seat in the Old Nine Gates by his own ability, which shows how strong his skills are!"

"But like the 'Cane Immortal' Ban Guan Jie Li of the Upper Three Gates, Chen Pi A-Si is also someone the Old Nine Gates are unwilling to contact or offend."

"His ferocity and cruelty can already be described as insane!"

"If you want to know what happens next, listen to the next installment!"

After Zhang Lin finished speaking, he picked up his teacup and left the stage.

And as with the previous times, Hei Bei Lao Liu's story was recorded by the audience present and uploaded to the internet all at once.

When netizens saw the legend of Hei Bei Lao Liu for the first time, they were all shocked!
