Chapter 68: Wandering Eyes (14) The Afterlife
It would be impossible to say that Chen Junyan did not have hope at this time because of Liumu's words, after all, when he was about to die, his thirst for life was the strongest. And the most important thing is that Liumu told her to let her accompany her. That's her biggest luxury, isn't it?
However, hope only exists for a moment in the mind, and many questions that cannot be ignored come to mind. After all, she can't be a cold-blooded, ruthless, selfish villain, and the hundreds of lives in Ping'an Town are in front of her, and she can't be allowed not to think.
She looked at the man in front of her and asked with a glimmer of possibility, "If you can save me, can you save the rest of the town?" ”
Liumu's expression became a little gloomy for a moment, and every word of the answer in his heart was too cruel, and it would make her sad if he said it directly. In fact, his reluctance to save them was not only because they had nothing in return, but more importantly because he couldn't. People always think that demons are extremely powerful, can bring people back to life, can call the wind and rain, and make the heavens and the earth change color, but they don't know that they are actually just insignificant dust in the heavens and the earth.
When he didn't step out of the realm of Ping'an Town, he once thought that he was invincible and could dominate all things in Ping'an Town. But there are mountains outside the mountains, and there is heaven outside the sky, and he only knew how small he was when he got out of Ping'an Town, and Yunze Hujun also met him outside at that time. He relied on his own practice for thousands of years, and he didn't take the immortal monarch in charge of the small lake in his eyes at all, and later suffered a big loss in his hands, so the disgraced cannon fodder Ping'an Town came up with such a way to improve his cultivation.
In the final analysis, the fate of all things in the world is ruled by heaven and earth, and he is no different. Since everyone is in the same position, what ability does he have to save these hundreds of human lives under the control of heaven and earth, and they also have seven emotions and six desires, and they don't like the things he is in charge of have the same power as him, and anyone who violates it will be punished, which is also the reason why thousands of aliens dare to wander in the world but dare not change the fate of mortals without authorization.
Although Liumu didn't speak, his expression couldn't be more obvious. Almost at the moment when he finished asking, Chen Junyan already knew the answer. Fortunately, she didn't have much hope and was not too disappointed.
After thinking about it, Chen Junyan asked, "Do you really have a way to save me?" ”
Liumu nodded.
Chen Junyan smiled and asked, "Does this have no effect on you?" ”
Liumu couldn't help but be stunned, he didn't understand why Chen Junyan suddenly asked like this. It stands to reason that humans should not know much about their rules, and even if they do, it is only those sanctimonious Taoists who will do it.
Looking at his expression, Chen Junyan showed a smug smile, although she didn't have much strength to laugh now, she still smiled: "Look, I guessed right." I felt something was wrong when you said you were going to save me, and you would never have made such a resolute look if it was an easy task. ”
Liumu shook his head and squeezed out a stiff smile: "I'm pretending to be smart again, don't you forget, I'm a monster who has lived for thousands of years, what's so difficult to save a little person like you?" ”
"It's hard." Chen Junyan suddenly stopped smiling, with a knowing look on his face: "You want people's longevity so much, but you don't dare to take their lives directly, if you have to think of such a twisting and turning method to deceive the world, it shows that you are also like us, and some things are still powerless, such as now, my life." If Providence wants me to die, and if you want me to live, then you are working against it. People always say that Providence cannot be violated, and even more so than in your case. ”
"That's just your guess......"
"Liumu." Chen Junyan clutched his legs tightly and forced himself to stay awake for the last time: "I'm very happy." At this moment before I die, I am very happy to see you so much. If you want me to accompany you, whether it's your sincerity, or just because I'm going to die and pity me, I'm also very happy. But now I think what you said that day was right, you have lived many, many years, and will live many, many more years in the future, my life is just a few dreams for you, and it will pass quickly, even if you save me this time, but I will still die of old age, after all, I can't be with you for long. So, let me die like this. ”
Liumu's fingertips couldn't help but tremble, and a huge panic surged in his heart. Chen Junyan is right, their ending can only be like that, but he watched her grow old slowly, and then die, and then he didn't know where she would go in life, what she would be reincarnated, and whether he could meet her again. But at this moment, he couldn't convince himself to let go so easily.
So, he stubbornly shook his head: "Don't." ”
Chen Junyan's heart was sour because of his concise and powerful words, tears slowly overflowed from the corners of his eyes, and his eyelids were too heavy, so he really wanted to fall asleep. She bit her arm and choked up, "So what to do?" Let me watch you go against the will of heaven in order to save my life, which is less than a hundred years old? Am I powerless to see you suffering? If so, I don't want to, I'd rather you're as free as you used to be. ”
Looking at such a vicious Chen Junyan, the corners of his eyes were sour, but he couldn't shed a single tear. It's ridiculous, he is obviously very uncomfortable now, but he can't even express his discomfort with tears like ordinary people.
Chen Junyan smiled with tears in his eyes: "If we still have fate, we can still meet in the next life, right?" Maybe in the next life, like you, I have become a tree, although it may be something else, but as long as there is fate, I can always meet it. ”
I silently glanced up at the sky, there was a faint inky blue on the horizon, and I thought it was not long before dawn. In fact, fate is really hard to say, Sun Yu can meet Qian Siyu again is not only fate, compared to fate, Sansheng has done more. As a thing of Huangquan, she is very familiar with the cycle of life and death of the world, and the names of those two people are engraved on her body, and it is her duty to help them meet, but who would have expected that the stone would have her own feelings again.
Liumu looked at the woman who promised him that he would meet again, and there was a trace of luck in his heart, what she said was so beautiful, he couldn't help but imagine what she said, after all, if he went against the will of heaven to save her, he would not exchange a good future for them. Even if there is no so-called fate, but his future will be so many years, he will always wait.
He looked at the woman who was even having difficulty breathing, reached out and put his hand on her pale cheek, and said softly: "This is what you said, I will wait for you, don't you drink Meng Po soup and forget your promise today." ”
The woman nodded weakly.
Liumu continued: "I will always wait, a hundred years, a thousand years, I will wait. ”
Unfortunately, the woman didn't react anymore.
