Chapter 139: A Chance to Atonement for a Year of Gambling Contract
"You're the painter, your wife is the woman the python incarnated, right?" I quickly realized who he was, said little Δ.
"Yes, you can find me, and you can break my curse, you must know about me, you know? How unjustly my wife died, I love her so much, but she was killed by the poisoned wine I gave her, and even her soul was seriously damaged, I spent forty-nine days with her soul in front of her tombstone, and finally watched her soul fly away, you know?
As the painter's soul spoke, it became very emotional and shouted again.
"I also regret the death of your wife, but you can't be angry with all the men because of this, can you? And with such a vicious curse, so many innocent people have been killed, although there are indeed bad things to do, and there are innocent people who have died, then you can't use such an extreme way to avenge her, right? You always remember that if you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself, sometimes it is not that there is no retribution, but the time has not yet come. Could it be that if you kill so many men to avenge her, will she be able to come back to life? Will she be able to leave this world with peace of mind?"
I asked in a strong tone, for while I sympathized with his misfortune, I could not agree with his approach.
"Retribution? Haha! Joke! They all say that God blesses, but I have never seen anyone God bless! As for retribution, God is probably even more lazy to take care of it! I suspect that there is no God at all! It's all a lie! Even if there is, they are executioners who favor bad people and help bad people kill good people! You don't see that all bad people are at large now, and good people often have no good reward. Since no one is in charge, I'll take care of it myself! Do you think I'm not right?
The painter looked up to the sky and laughed, apparently frustrated with the world to the extreme.
"God or not, I don't know, but Lord Yama is real, maybe his old man was too merciful in the past, and he didn't manage the affairs of yin and yang reasonably, resulting in recent years, it is true that bad people are in charge, and good people don't live long, but that is a thing of the past, and now that I am in charge, I will not continue to let this bad atmosphere continue. I said with some meaning.
"Isn't this your Chinese legend? And then you are in charge? What do you mean? Who are you?" asked the painter with a puzzled expression.
"I am the son-in-law of Lord Yama, and I am considered the master of the underworld, and there is no country in my eyes, no matter where I am, as long as I am in the yin and yang, I will manage it. Maybe my father-in-law didn't do something well or even unreasonable in the past, but now that I've taken over, I won't let those unreasonableness continue to exist. I said in a firm tone.
"You say you are, it doesn't mean much to me, so are you going to completely let my soul go away today, right? Whatever you want, it's not interesting for me to live anyway, Cynthia is gone, I don't have any hope at all. The painter said in an indifferent tone, and closed his eyes and waited for death.
"Today I will give you two choices, one is to insist that you are right, refuse to admit your mistakes, and want to harm the world in your own way, then I will let your soul fly away and kill you completely. Second, from today onwards, I will also let you stay in this painting, observe every owner of this painting with your heart, listen to their inner monologue, if the other party is indeed a profiteer who does all kinds of evil, on the surface is good, but secretly does bad things that lose their conscience, then you use your way to let them get the end they deserve.
"But if it's a good person, you have to help him help more good people, and eradicate those bad people who are ruthless and secretly want to be bad for them. If, after a year, I am doing a good job, I can consider letting you reincarnate in the world, and even let your snake woman wife reincarnate with you, are you willing to give up on yourself, or do you want to choose a better way to live?"
I thought about it and said what I thought, and I wanted to give him one last chance to mend his ways.
"What! you...... Can it really give me and Cynthia a new future?" the painter suddenly rushed to me excitedly, eagerly asked.
"It's not that we have a saying in China, the king of Hades wants you to die in the third watch, who dares to keep you until the fifth watch. Since Lord Yama can reduce people's lifespan, they can naturally increase and change people's lifespan, if you believe me, try to change, let me see a new you, and you will naturally have a new beginning. Go back to your paintings, I'm going to play billiards. ”
I said as I stared at him with the utmost affirmation and unquestioning eyes, and opened my eyes.
"Master Pony, I believe in you! Thank you for giving me the opportunity, thank you, see you in a year!" Although when I opened my eyes, I could not see the painter's soul in the wine glass on this oil painting, but I still heard what he said at the end, and in addition to deep gratitude, there was also a trace of firmness.
I'm sure he won't let me down, he's just because he loves a woman too much and loses hope, so he does things a little more extremely.
Now that I have given him hope again, it is also for the woman he loves, and he will know what to do.
You'll definitely understand my hard work.
"Feiyang, what's wrong? Seeing that your eyes are closed and motionless, I don't dare to disturb you. Why don't I burn this painting?" As soon as I opened my eyes, Yang Chen's big head dangled in front of me and asked, obviously waiting by my side.
"Don't mind! You are willing to burn such an expensive world-famous painting? What a loser! Oh, this way, the curse in this painting has been removed, and now it's fine. Whether you sell it or give it away, or donate it to the museum, I don't ask. But you just can't burn it, or destroy it, understand? Otherwise, the next time I come to play billiards, it's you. ”
I frowned, shook my head, and said with a look of hatred, pretending to raise a billiard cue and pretending to hit him.
"Don't you spare your life, isn't it okay for the little one to obey orders? Is this painting really okay? Or I'll go back and change to a picture of your favorite classical lady, this bloody arm makes my heart furious. Master Horse, don't you mind?" Yang Chen still had a palpitating expression, glanced at the painting, and begged for mercy.
"Is it my favorite, or is it your nymphomaniac's favorite? Otherwise, I don't mind letting you go through all the ten tortures of the Manchu Dynasty, and I still have the right to be a concubine." "I was not happy with the way he had tarnished my reputation in this way, so naturally I wanted to scare him.
Of course, it's all a joke, after all, he is my best friend, and after so many years of classmate life, he is also used to this kind of joke.
"You are abusing your private power! I am going to go to Lord Yama to complain about you! Depose your status as a concubine, let you be ruined, and leave a stench for 10,000 years! No matter how yin this underworld is, you have to be reasonable, right?" Yang Chen indignantly accused and threatened me.
"Of course, this underworld is a place where only those who play with yin can survive! Go, go, even I can't find where the old man is, if you can find it, even if you have the ability, it doesn't hurt for me to let you be the master. Otherwise, you will marry my ghost princess?" I said in a nonchalant tone, smirking wickedly at the mention of Princess Ann.
"This cold ghost princess, I don't dare to marry, so you should come. I didn't say it just now. By the way, I really don't dare to ask for this painting, you see, am I ...... Can ......"
Yang Chen's face twitched when he heard that he was going to marry the ghost princess, and he hurriedly said in a flattering tone, but when he mentioned the painting, he didn't know how to speak.
Naturally, I understood that he was indeed frightened after listening to what I told him, the legend of the terrifying oil painting, so I didn't want to feel sorry for him, so I sighed and said:
"Hey, whatever you want, anyway, as long as you don't destroy the painting, you can do whatever you want. As for this picture of a classical lady, it is my favorite joke, but I can't do it in front of Princess Ann, if she really thinks that I like classical ladies, and wear that dress in front of me all day long, I will vomit to death, you know! If you dare to make trouble behind your back, I will let you have the same arm as in the oil painting. ”
I said in a tone that you like, but when I got to the back, I pretended to be a little threatening.
"Don't dare, don't dare, you drink a glass of wine to moisten your throat first, and then kick off. Yang Chen heard that I mentioned the arm on the oil painting, so he was so frightened that he hurriedly brought me a glass of wine, and then changed the topic and motioned for me to kick off.
After finishing speaking, I glanced at the ball on the billiard table, and suddenly wanted to use the billiards to trick Yang Chen, and defeated Yang Chen with an impossible goal. Let him know how powerful my master is a concubine, so I closed my eyes and thought for a while, then opened my eyes again, and said with a mysterious face:
"It's not exciting to play like this, or else, if I go down in one shot and score a few goals, how about you drink a few bottles of wine in one go? If I don't score a single goal, I'll drink as much as you want me to drink." Do you dare to bet?"
"Why don't you dare! You and I haven't been playing billiards for a day or two, don't I know how many pounds and taels you have? You have scored four goals at the same time at most once when you play flower ball, right? This snooker also pays attention to the order of goals, and if you are wrong, it will be in vain, and it will be good if you die and score two goals. Let's just say that, let's not think about the order of goals, you can score one and count one, I'll drink even!"
Yang Chen was obviously aroused by me and got into trouble with me.
