260: The Cycle of Cause and Effect (4000 words)
When Mrs. Xiao heard this, she smiled lightly. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Her father, Mr. Xu, is a native of Miaojiang and grew up in Miaojiang since childhood.
Later, because of his travels, he came to Dachu.
In Da Chu, Mr. Xu met Mrs. Xiao's father, and the two hit it off at first sight.
They thought they were all outliers, but they didn't want to find like-minded people in this vast sea of people.
It's just that Mrs. Xu's temperament is not as calm as Mrs. Xiao's father, so that when the two of them fell in love with a girl at the same time, the girl chose Mrs. Xiao's father.
Old Man Xu was naturally unwilling.
It's just that how can you be reluctant to do such a thing as feelings?
This girl later gave birth to Xiao Dong, the old lady Xiao, and later went to Xiao Dong when he was ten years old because of the root of the disease.
After she left, Xiao Dong's father was also depressed and followed him within a few years.
Old Man Xu saw that Xiao Dong was pitiful, so he took Xiao Dong home for the sake of the past.
When Mrs. Xiao first met Mrs. Xiao Dong, she was less than seven years old.
At that time, Xiao Dong's eyebrows and eyes were very good, although his body was thin, his eyes were still like clear springs, and he looked like a handsome young man. Moreover, in the following days, Xiao Dong doted on her very much, and was even more obedient to her, and even almost fell off the cliff in order to pick the flowers on the cliff for her.
Xiao Dong's connivance with her led to her current situation.
"Go to hell?" Old Lady Xiao smiled, her slender white fingers stroked the Buddha beads in her hand, "How can an immortal go to hell?"
Old Mrs. Xiao's father, Old Man Xu, has always believed that there is an elixir house of immortality in this world.
Back then, Old Man Xu wanted to go to the outer land to find this house, but was stopped by Xiao Dong's father.
Xiao Dong's father said, "I have divined for you, and if you go, I'm afraid something will happen." ”
At that time, Old Man Xu listened to Xiao Dong's father's advice and never left. It's just that later, after Xiao Dong's parents passed away, Old Man Xu was a little afraid, he was afraid that he would grow old one day, and like his friends, he would pass away in a hurry.
He found Xiao Dong in a panic and whispered, "Did your father teach you divination?"
"I ......" Xiao Dong hesitated for a long time, and his bright eyes were uneasy, "Yes." ”
Old Man Xu asked Xiao Dong to divinate for him, whether he would encounter an accident when he went to the outer land.
Xiao Dong frowned and refused, "It will not be allowed." ”
But where did Old Man Xu, who wanted to live forever, believe this, he forced Xiao Dong, "Uncle begged you, okay?"
Xiao Dong finally hesitated and divined a hexagram for Old Man Xu.
The hexagram is unknown.
"At that time, I repeatedly asked him what this hexagram meant!" Old Lady Xiao thought of this, and said, "As a result, your grandfather said that the hexagram is not a big problem. He said with a slurring and hesitation. But later, as soon as my father got out of the customs, he met a sand bandit and lost his life. ”
"No matter how powerful his witchcraft is, it can't match the sword and the eyeless. ”
"It's all your grandfather's fault. ”
Xiao Ziwen frowned and interrupted Mrs. Xiao's words, "This is nothing more than an excuse for grandmother! The death of your great-grandfather cannot be the reason for your evil." You also know that a sorcerer cannot divinate his own fate, just as a healer does not heal himself. At that time, my grandfather liked you so much, and your fate had long been tied to him, so naturally he could not divinate the good fortune and evil of his great-grandfather's itinerary. ”
"Even though your grandmother knew that, you still didn't remind your great-grandfather, because you knew that if your great-grandfather was gone, you could marry him. Right?"
Old Mrs. Xiao raised her eyes and looked at Xiao Ziwen's eyes, like a sharp stinger.
In the past, after her father Xu had an accident, Xiao Dong always blamed himself, thinking that he was not good at learning.
This is also the reason why Xiao Dong gave up continuing to learn magic later.
Xiao Dong thought for a long time before he said to Mrs. Xiao, who had just arrived, "Lihua, in the future, I will accompany you." ”
He said so and did so.
He won the fame, wiped out the past, took Mrs. Xiao to the capital, and personally found a house to buy it, and carefully arranged a home for her.
At first, Mrs. Xiao also thought that she could really forget the past and live a peaceful life with Mrs. Xiao.
Gradually, however, it happened.
Xiao Dong has changed from a teenager to a middle-aged person, and she has also changed from a girl to a woman.
Especially after giving birth, terrible tattoos appeared on her body.
In those days, she didn't dare to look in the mirror anymore.
It was at that time that Mrs. Xiao knew that she would grow old one day and become a wrinkled woman.
She didn't want to be like her parents, and become an old person.
Later, she picked up again the witchcraft she had abandoned for years.
Xiao Dong knew that he was sorry for her, and he never stopped her from moving, but bought some books to show her as he liked.
However, how could these ordinary books satisfy Old Lady Xiao?
Once, she accidentally broke into Old Lady Xiao's study and found a spice recipe and half an old book from the dark pavilion.
This book writes how to take longevity.
Take the fate of others and fill in your own needs.
"I can live. Mrs. Xiao cried with joy, "I can live." ”
The only pity is that there is only half of this book, and it is not clear at all that how many times can the longevity be carried out, and whether this kind of behavior can make her immortal.
She hesitated for a long time before she opened her mouth to try Xiao Dong to talk about "taking longevity".
Xiao Dong, who has always been elegant and gentle, changed his face greatly after hearing about this incident.
He held Mrs. Xiao's hand, "Lihua, this kind of thing can't be touched, you can't even think about it." ”
He was pedantic and didn't look like a warlock at all.
In the eyes of outsiders, these people are inherently different...... Old Mrs. Xiao became more and more unaware of why Xiao Dong brought her to the capital and live an ordinary life!
She is gradually tired of this life.
It's just that she also knows what kind of person her husband Xiao Dong is, and what he doesn't want to say it, even if he is forced to die, he will never say it.
She was silent for a long time before she said, "Got it!"
Xiao Dong smiled.
He was already heroic, and his smile was even more dazzling at this time.
Old Madam Xiao was indulged in his smile, but she was also very clear.
In a few years, this dazzling face will have small wrinkles at the corners of the eyes, and slowly ...... He would turn gray-haired, and eventually walk bent over, like an old man waiting to die.
Decades, just decades.
"I thought that was the end of my life. Xiao Dong held her face and ran his index finger across her neck, "But how lucky I am to meet you." ”
If he knew his end, he didn't know if he would be saying it.
Mrs. Xiao has been estranged from Mrs. Xiao since that time, and she has done a lot of things without him.
Until the end, when she really couldn't find any other way, she begged Old Lady Xiao again, she wanted to learn the Xiao family's techniques.
It's a pity that Xiao Dong rejected her.
Xiao Dong looked at her in disbelief, "Lihua, I said that I would accompany you, I will grow old with you, and accompany you to the end, what are you still afraid of?"
"I'm afraid, of course I'm afraid!" Old Lady Xiao was also angry with her stubborn husband at that time, "Xiao Dong! You and I shouldn't have been here, we should have been warlocks, but you insisted on being here, you know?"
She walked in front of Xiao Dong, took his hand to the dressing table, looked at the bronze mirror in front of her and cried, "I get up every day, and when I see myself in the mirror, I am more and more similar to my mother! Xiao Dong...... Brother Dong, I don't want this, I'm really scared ......"
She couldn't stand that kind of self.
Xiao Dong was stunned, "Lihua, no one can live forever." ”
"You and I are indeed warlocks, but look...... Emperors are more noble than us, can they have immortality?" Xiao Dong held her hand, "Lihua, wake up, you are not old." You will always be the best in my heart at all times. Really, I swear to you that I will never betray you, or I will die a good death. ”
His words were later confirmed.
The two quarreled because of a disagreement in philosophy, and after Mrs. Xiao calculated Mrs. Xiao, the gap between the two was even greater.
The man who used to smile and pick flowers for her every day has finally become a cold existence.
Gradually, they became strangers.
However, Mrs. Xiao never regretted it.
She doesn't think she's doing anything wrong.
And if she finds a way to live forever, she will definitely help Old Lady Xiao, just like her.
Thinking of this, the expression on Mrs. Xiao's face was obscure, "He lied to me!"
That jade-like boy lost her.
He cared about Aunt Wen, and later after Aunt Wen died, he cared even more about the children left behind by Aunt Wen. And the only thing she could do was to torture Xiao Yingjing, who was left behind by Old Lady Xiao...... It's just that the more powerful she is, the more estranged Mrs. Xiao becomes, and in the end, Mrs. Xiao simply moved out and lived in other courtyards.
"He lied to me!" Old Lady Xiao looked at her viciously, "I'm going to make him regret it." ”
Xiao Ziwen smiled lightly wryly, "You...... I regret it. ”
"What if you live a long life? When you were seriously ill, you actually thought about following your grandfather. Xiao Ziwen said, "It's a pity that you are still clinging to this thing that does not belong to you, so you will take the life of your eldest brother." Do you think that if you take the life of your eldest brother, you will live a long life. ”
"As a result, you found that even though my eldest brother is gone, your condition is still not cured. ”
Later, you still don't believe that the "longevity" you have been obsessed with for so many years is a false existence. ”
"You don't like the rudeness of the third aunt Qiao in front of you, so you sent someone to Gusu to calculate Xiao Yuxuan. ”
"You didn't take Xiao Yuxuan's life immediately, because you wanted to try if you couldn't "take away your life", then if you could take a person's luck. ”
"Have you succeeded over the years? Do you think you haven't aged because you've succeeded? Ridiculous......
"To take the lives of others is to be damned. This kind of magic, even if it exists, is intolerable. The ancestor of the Xiao family is a warlock, not some evil crookedness, the second half of this book, you have been looking for what is written in the second half of the book for a lifetime, you can see for yourself. ”
Xiao Ziwen took out half of the worn-out book from her cuff and threw it in front of Mrs. Xiao.
"Grandfather hates you, but he is reluctant to torture you. Xiao Ziwen shook her head, "In his heart, you will always be the girl he loves." He is reluctant to show you the second half of the book because he is afraid that one day you will know the truth and will give up your life to save the people you think are important. Grandfather is so stupid, how can a poisonous woman like you who is selfish and can even kill her children and grandchildren, how can you sacrifice your life to save others!"
"The Xiao family's so-called longevity is nothing more than a loss of longevity. ”
Back then, Xiao Anning was willing to die and change his life for his lord.
And when Mrs. Xiao learned that her beloved girl was afraid of aging, she used the method of folding her life to make this girl age more slowly.
These are all things that are against the sky. No matter how careful he is, he still can't hide it from God.
Things in the world always have a cause and an effect.
Therefore, the old lady died early, and he had no good death, and in the end, the heirs withered.
He, like Xiao An, almost made the Xiao family disappear.
If not covetousness, how can it be?
Old Madam Xiao obviously didn't believe Xiao Ziwen's words, and she hurriedly picked up the half of the book from the ground, and she had been familiar with the handwriting on it for many years.
Her hands trembled so much, and it took a lot of effort for her to keep the books from falling off her body!
How so?
She didn't believe Xiao Ziwen's words.
It says that the so-called longevity is against the sky, and it will fail eventually. Only by dying one's own life can one sacrifice oneself for him. However, those who have lost their lives will not be reincarnated, and their wives will be separated.
Old Mrs. Xiao suddenly looked in a trance.
She remembered that in the past, when her father had just died, she cried to Xiao Dong.
She said, "Brother Dong, my dad is gone, my dad is gone." ”
"Brother Dong, what should I do!"
"I wish I had lost ten years of my life in exchange for my father's accident. ”
She was really sad at the time, and the words she said were also sincere.
Perhaps it was precisely because of this sentence that Xiao Dong tore apart the book passed down from his ancestors.
He was afraid that Old Lady Xiao would find out about the existence of this thing and really reverse what had happened.
"Still, I hope that Grandmother will live a long life. Xiao Ziwen stood up from the chair, her voice slow, like the old lady Xiao in the past, "After all, if you go to Huangquan and see your grandfather and eldest brother, they will be extremely disgusted with your existence." ”
"You still live, enjoy your own longevity and loneliness. ”
(ps: Well, although this story is weird, but everyone probably guessed it, why can Yan Yan and Xiao Ye live again, right?) Everything has a cause and effect, Xiao Ziwen in the previous life gave Bai Congjian and Xiao Ziyu a chance to live again, and in this life she did not drown in the carp pond, and finally broke away from the shackles of the Xiao family.) This is probably the so-called causal cycle!) )
