Chapter 298: Born to be Bitter, Born to be Bitter
He suddenly looked at my face excitedly, and I had a feeling that I had said the wrong thing. He suddenly grabbed my shoulders with both hands and asked, "Have you had those visions, and what have you seen?"
I was a little stunned, so I had to tell him everything I had seen intermittently before, and after listening to it, he didn't seem to be as excited as before, and let go of his hand.
Smiling seemingly self-deprecatingly, he continued, "This pool is the place that once held the three-petaled seed. ”
I looked at it, and I wasn't really interested, but all of a sudden I felt that something was wrong, "Isn't it a three-petal seed? What's wrong with the other one? Why didn't you say that?"
"Oh, really?" said Sheng Ku smiled dryly, and then stretched. "There is another petal, who has been lonely in this pool for a long, long time. Every day, I miss the time with the other two seeds, because the idea is so strong, I can't help but alarm the Venerable Yellow Robe, and it also makes the Buddha notice it.
At that time, the Three Realms were in a period of instability, so the Buddha made an agreement with it. ”
"What kind of agreement?" I suddenly remembered that in the vision I saw, the Buddha had said something similar.
"Probably the Buddha saw that this seed has great power in its body, and it is very suitable for saving the world!" Sheng smiled bitterly, this expression was his more relaxed appearance, and my strange feelings about him suddenly disappeared in an instant. It seems that he doesn't have the behaviors that make me wonder, and we will continue to do the same.
"Of course, the condition of exchange with the Buddha is that when you become famous, the three-petaled seed will return to its original and will never be separated. ”
"Never separated?" his words suddenly made me feel very wrong, "Never separate, isn't it a little too selfish." I whispered unconsciously.
"Why do you say that?" he turned to look at me, and for a moment I wondered if I had just said something I shouldn't have said, but the tenderness in his eyes gave me the courage to continue.
"You think, both of the two seeds have been away from her for so long, and they have been living in the new environment for so long, whether it is as a child of the Immortal Envoy Family, or as a person who is about to cultivate to become a Buddha. Their lives have long been reset, and it is not even certain that they can have memories of themselves as seeds of vicissitudes.
All of a sudden, they were beaten back to the prototype, which was unfair to them. ”
His brow furrowed slowly, and he stared at my face as if trying to penetrate my brain through my skin. It made me feel a little cramped, so I turned around and began to avoid his gaze. He looked at me very earnestly for a moment, and although I didn't look at him, I could feel the burning heat in his eyes very clearly, and finally, he sighed.
"It's almost time!" he muttered as he looked into the distance on the lake. Then, suddenly, he leaned over and pressed me directly under him.
I was shocked by his suddenness, and I was stunned for a moment, "What are you doing? Are you crazy?"
He was bitter but suddenly said seriously, "If you were given another chance to choose, would you choose me or the sun?"
I was speechless for a moment, I didn't even know how to answer him, and after a minute or so, in fact, my mind went blank and I wasn't thinking about anything. I shoved him away and said, "I have sun-burning flesh in my belly, and you ask me such a question?"
He stood up as if he was smiling bitterly, standing with his back to me, and I looked up at him so much that I couldn't even see any of his expressions. "Your child, I will treat it as my own, under such a premise, who will you choose? You know, the sun is burning, and he will never come back. But, look at me, I'm the living one!"
Originally, I wasn't angry at what he had just done, but when he suddenly said that Chongming would never come back, my heart suddenly tightened, and a feeling of a sharp blade made me fall to the bottom in an instant. I stood up and shoved him away, then punched him hard in the face as he turned around.
He staggered, blood already hanging from the corner of his mouth.
"Shigeaki he's going to be back!!" I yelled at him, "I will!"
Sheng Ku wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his fingers, smiled, his body seemed to be shaking, and then hugged me. I was angry and wanted to push him away, but I didn't expect him to be so strong. He hugged me tightly, and suddenly, he whispered, "I once told you, in the next life, I will call it Shengku, but unfortunately you don't remember." The three of us belong to the same ancestry, just because I found you relatively late in this life, alas..."He sighed softly, but his tone was very bitter.
I was still angry, but I had to stop struggling when I heard his sad words. I looked up, but I only saw his chin. He didn't look at me anymore, but at the endless blue lake behind me.
"I don't blame you, though. On the contrary, I thank you very much. Because we'll finally be together again. Although we will not return to this little pool, this is your wish, and I will help you fulfill it!" he suddenly took the amber finger out of the void pocket, and said, "You will have to take good care of yourself in the future, and I will be with you too, but in a different form." ”
Then he stuck the amber finger in my hair. "Remember, don't be sad about me, although you said that you chose him, I am sure that you will still think of me once in a while. That's all I need to be happy with!"
I heard that his words were wrong, and I wanted to ask him, but suddenly I realized that I couldn't speak at all, and I knew that this was a forbidden spell, and it must have been cast on me by Sheng Zhu when I was not expecting it.
"Don't speak, I'm afraid that if I hear your voice, I will be even more reluctant. Just like now, I'll hold you, it's good!"
Suddenly, I noticed a burning heat behind me, as if some huge source of heat had suddenly risen from the bottom of the lake. It was at this moment that Sheng Ku suddenly took me around in a circle, and then switched places with me. All I could see was a huge orange-red fireball slowly rising from the bottom of the lake. I was shocked, is this the sun?!
Sheng Ku suddenly said softly, "You're right, the two of us will never go back to be the seed that embraces you." When you break your agreement with the Buddha, someone will have to pay the price. So, let me be with you in another way! Don't be sad, don't be sad, it's all of my own free will. This time I left only for the reunion with you in the future, which is my willing ending, and the best ending. ”
The sun's light suddenly became extremely dazzling, and my eyes couldn't stand the stimulation, so they just closed tightly. In my ears, there was another extremely faint voice of bitterness, as if he had gone far away, as if he were talking to me far away. With great difficulty, I finally heard what he was saying. For a moment, I couldn't hold back my tears anymore, and I suddenly broke through the prohibition he had set and cried out loudly, "Bitter!"
However, everything in front of me suddenly turned to darkness, and the bitter temperature that held me in my arms suddenly seemed to fall into the freeze. It's empty, the bitter embrace, it's empty.
I slowly opened my eyes, and found that the blue lake in front of me had turned into a large area of flying yellow sand, where there was that endless lake, where there was the sun rising in the lake!
The bitterness is gone, and in my hand, only a seed of vicissitudes of life has appeared, in the shape of a crescent moon. I still remember the words that Sheng Ku kept repeating to me at the end, saying, "Plant the seed, and your re-enlightenment will come back!"
In an instant, I was completely devastated, I knew that the seed in my hand was the birth of suffering, and I also knew that the story of the three-petal vicissitudes of life he told was actually a matter between me and him and Chongming!
Yes, I've been playing dumb. Ever since I saw the visions of the vicissitudes of life, I already knew that this must be a memory related to me, so I kept playing dumb. Because I didn't know how to deal with the burning love of life, I thought that if I played dumb, he would always be by my side as a good friend or when I needed him the most.
But I was still wrong!
The tears could no longer be controlled, accompanied by a sharp pain in my abdomen! I held the seed in my hand tightly, for fear that it would suddenly disappear. But the intense pain also made me want to die for a while.
I slowly climbed up the stone platform into the yellow sand, I didn't know where I was going, but the severe abdominal pain made my mind go blank. The amber finger on his head suddenly came with a fluorescent green light, and a voice came out, "Have you decided it's cool?"
I knew the gluttonous voice, but I didn't have the strength to think or answer anything to him. The sound in my ears faded away little by little, and in the fog, I seemed to see several figures running towards me in the yellow sand.
I struggled to raise my head, and only then did I realize that it was Ling Xiao and them. I breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, and reason told me that I seemed to have a save. At this time, the gluttonous voice came again, "Have you decided?"
I gritted my teeth, forced myself to pull myself up, and asked, "What will happen to my children if I say I don't need your help?"
Gluttony seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then said in a miserable tone, "Dead." ”
I smiled wryly, "I choose my daughter." ”
The girl's starry pupils appeared in front of my eyes for a moment, and I knew that such a choice seemed unfair to her, but only she could do it.
In an instant, the pain in my abdomen was reduced by half, but I still collapsed and lost all consciousness for a moment.
