After Luo Lingwei heard this, she was somewhat troubled. Compared to this person's unknown origin and inability to speak, she did not know how to communicate with him.
But this young man seemed to understand what Luo Lingwei was thinking. He gestured with his hands, wanting to express something to them.
”You mean you can write?” Xiaoqing, who was to the side, seemed to understand the contents of this young man's gestures.
Upon hearing Xiaoqing's words, the young man repeatedly nodded his head in excitement. Seeing this, Luo Lingwei hurriedly called for pen, ink, and paper.
Before long, the brush, ink, and paper were all prepared. Luo Lingwei and the others sat across from the boy, and the boy began to narrate his history.
This mute was called Wang Zhong. Originally, he was an Elementary Scholar, but after he lost his reputation, he took his wife out for a stroll. The two of them were very uncomfortable, and after having fun for a while, Wang Zhong planned to return home to prepare for next year's exam.
When they heard that there was a Bright Heart Temple nearby and that it was a famous temple with a circumference of a hundred miles, they took their wives up the mountain to burn incense and pray that they could win the top scholar for the next year.
Unexpectedly, because of his wife's outstanding appearance, she'd made Yuan Zhen's junior disciple drool. Therefore, he and others separated Wang Zhong, raped his wife and then killed her. When he was dismembering, he was coincidentally seen by Wang Zhong. These people never intended to let Wang Zhong go, thus, little Shamei called a few other monks to kill Wang Zhong. Just like that, Wang Zhong was forced to the cliff by these monks to jump off and commit suicide. However, he survived the ordeal and hung himself on a pine tree on the mountaintop. After he woke up, he forcefully endured the pain on his body and struggled to climb down the mountain. Fortunately, he met a family of hunters in the mountains and took him in.
However, because of the stimulation, Wang Zhong became mute. For the past few days, while recuperating, Wang Zhong kept asking about the situation of the Bright Heart Temple. He wanted to avenge his wife. He swore to the heavens that he would exterminate the entire sect to comfort his wife's soul. Since then, Wang Zhong went hunting in the mountains with his hunters, learning how to use a knife and a spear.
Since then, he often roamed the mountains. If he met a solitary monk, he would follow and kill him.
That day, while Wang Zhong was resting in a broken wall-cold kiln at the foot of the Brightheart Temple, he heard someone talking. In a daze, he used the moonlight to see who the speaker was. It was none other than the monk that had raped and killed his wife.
When enemies met each other, their eyes would turn red. Wang Zhong could not care less at this moment. He picked up his homemade dagger and followed the two monks towards the village.
However, as he followed them, he could vaguely see that they had entered a farmhouse. Since the sky was a little dark and they were separated by a long distance, Wang Zhong could not see what the two of them were doing.
He had originally planned to flip into the courtyard and kill the two of them, but then he heard sounds of fighting coming from the courtyard. Wang Zhong knew that the situation was bad. Although he wanted revenge, he had many lives on his hands. For this enemy, he would throw himself in. So he returned to the cold, broken roof to rest for the time being.
Early the next morning, just as dawn arrived, Wang Zhong heard a chirping sound coming from the nearby mountain. He quietly walked out of the broken house to take a look, and saw that Daoist Master Yuan was bringing a small Sharmie and a group of villagers to the courtyard.
After a while, there was a heated argument in the yard. From the crowd's words, Wang Zhong found out that the two young monks were planning to steal someone's horse. Unexpectedly, they piled up some martial arts experts and captured one of them. Wang Zhong knew that this was a chance the heavens had given him to take revenge. When he saw Wang Zhong sneaking in, he thought he was here to save him, so he did not struggle, while Wang Song took the opportunity to stab him in the heart and slip away quietly.
