106

  It's been a year, and the famine in winter has gradually passed. I still haven't gone to see Master and didn't return to the temple because I'm not willing to mention joy. I saw an announcement from my senior brother saying: "I want the world to be greatly prosperous, it must be one heart. Any private party, except for the orthodox Shaolin disciples above middle level, all others will be cleared out, all factions will cancel their faction names and return to the public election of the Alliance Master Wan Yong, the rivers and lakes will become an alliance and enter the army."

  I think this means that those who are still hungry from the previous chaos should be eliminated together.

  I once met Wu Ling in Chong City. We were coincidentally after the same person at the same place. I asked: "Aren't you supposed to have retired?"

  He said: Ask less.

  I said: I want to support a family. Let me take someone's head back.

  Wu Lingsheng said: Alright, I really can't bear it anymore, I'm going to take his life. Since you still have some money left, I'll give it to you.

  I said: Thank you.

  Wu Lingshu said: You must take good care of your sword, it's a very good sword.

  I touched it and asked in surprise: When did you take it away?

  Wu Ling said: Ask less. The world is vast, you are just a small part of it.

  After finishing speaking, he took out a silver note and said: This is the New Year's money for your little family. Also, your wife's grave is very dirty, go clean it up. Things can't be avoided.

  Then never had the chance to see again.
