41. On the way to death
Zuo Ling took a lot of effort to finally figure out the whole story of his rebirth, and he also knew that in this room, except for Fu Langxuan, the others were monsters.
Knowing the identities of these monsters, Zuo Ling was calm and terrifying, and he didn't react at all, because the people he had met were all more terrifying than monsters.
"It's a mulberry." The two kittens pushed over the big pot with mulberry and put it in front of Zuo Ling, in the big earthy yellow pot, there was no soil, only pale white water, and a straight tree trunk stood inside.
"It's a mulberry." Lao Xunmu patted the trunk of the mulberry: "Do you know what Sanmulberry?" It is recorded in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas, Overseas North Classic": Sansang has no branches, and in Ousidong, its wood is hundreds of feet long and has no branches. ”
Lao Xunmu silently looked at the bare top of the mulberry, and said helplessly: "The mulberry has no branches, the cultivation is faster, his spiritual power grows faster than mine, although I watched it grow up, but now the spiritual power is stronger than mine, but unfortunately he transforms into a human form and can't grow hair, and he is very persistent in hair." ”
Zuo Ling was silent, his appearance was not very good, but a good hair was really praised by everyone, he never thought that he would attract Shenmu because of his hair, and then be reborn. He didn't expect that the original Divine Tree would care about hair, and this rebirth would refresh his worldview.
"He's the one who made me reborn?" Zuo Ling carefully put his hand on Mulberry, a very warm feeling came out of his heart, in this life, he occasionally had this feeling when he was dreaming, feeling that there was someone behind him to protect him, presumably this person was Mulberry.
"Little lynx, come and help." Lao Xunmu beckoned to Bai Qinghua.
Bai Qinghua put down the remote control and walked over, he has become more and more calm recently, except for playing cat cubs and watching TV every day, gossip is rarely watched, and Zuo Ling is also very calm when he comes.
Bai Qinghua walked to the mulberry's side, stretched out his hand and pressed it on the top of the tree, a burst of white light slowly spread, and by the time Fu Langxuan and Zuo Ling opened their eyes again, the mulberry had already regained its human form.
"You're here." When Mulberry saw Zuo Ling, he greeted him like a friend who had known him for a long time.
"Well, I'm here." Zuo Ling nodded.
"You have something to say in the backyard, it's still a long time." Lao Xunmu saw that the two of them were about to catch up, and said beside him.
"I don't have much time to wake up this time, I really can't delay too long, let's go to the backyard and talk." Mulberry took Zuo Ling out, and a group of people in the house saw them out, immediately got up, and secretly walked to the wall, and Fu Langxuan was also pulled by the two cat cubs to eavesdrop.
"Let them talk in the hall, we can still listen openly, why bother so much, come and eavesdrop." Tian Luo was a little puzzled.
"Stupid, they are embarrassed to whisper when they are bright, and they can only whisper to Zuo Ling when they come out of the mulberry. Think about it, Mulberry has been secretly in love with him for so many years, the first time they met, the two of them **, maybe......" Bai Qin didn't say the next words, but his smile was very weird, and Tian Luo trembled when he saw it.
The atmosphere in the backyard was very quiet, not at all the charming atmosphere that Bai Qin said, Mulberry was explaining some things about rebirth to Zuo Ling, as well as his preparations after death.
Zuo Ling's rebirth has changed the trajectories of some people, although these trajectories have not changed very much. However, just like the butterfly effect, it will have a great impact on the future world, and what Mulberry wants to do is not to correct these trajectories that have been changed now, or to pull these trajectories and let them slowly return to the original right path.
Many of the things that Mulberry said were too profound, and Zuo Ling couldn't understand it, but he probably could understand it. The changes caused by his rebirth are already a given, and unless he is not reborn, the fate of many people will still change with his rebirth. Mulberry did not change the world he lives in now, but slowly pulled the fate of these people whose fate has changed now to normalize in the future.
"That's pretty much it......" Mulberry said weakly, these things have come to a critical juncture recently, his energy is a little unbearable, if it weren't for the support of Lao Xunmu and Bai Qinghua, Mulberry would definitely be even worse, maybe his height would have shrunk by dozens of centimeters. You must know that although the mulberry has grown for thousands of years, he is not yet an adult, and his trunk is only 80 centimeters high, and the lush mulberry tree outside is an illusion that he has conjured up by himself.
"So what do I need to do? Can you not be so tired? Zuo Ling has always felt that his rebirth is God's pity for him, so he tossed hard, and now he regrets it a little, every time he is willful, there are a lot of messes to clean up.
"Do what you want." Mulberry coughed twice and said, spitting out a few mouthfuls of pale green juice: "It's just that you don't have much time, tomorrow at twelve o'clock, you ......"
"I'm going to die, am I?" Zuo Ling smiled indifferently, although sad, but more relieved: "You have given me three more years to complete what I want to do, what else is better, I don't have anything I want to do now, I just hope to relieve you of some burden before leaving." ”
"You can't help me." Mulberry shook his head, Zuo Ling is just an ordinary person, even if he has the heart, he can't do these things, Bai Qinghua can help him, but unfortunately Bai Qinghua is not happy.
"And what do you want from me? I can give it to you. Zuo Ling then asked, although he couldn't see what Mulberry wanted at the moment, but since Mulberry helped him, he definitely needed to reciprocate, and he originally intended to give Mulberry what he needed.
"You've already given it to me." Mulberry raised his hand, there was a small aperture on it, and inside was a black thing, although this thing was a small lump, but Zuo Ling was very uncomfortable to look at, as if it contained endless nightmares.
"This, it is your grievance before you die, it is very powerful, and it is of some use to me, and I helped you for this. The cycle of cause and effect, when I take something from you, I'm going to give you something. After Mulberry finished speaking, the light group slowly floated in front of Zuo Ling, Zuo Ling stretched out his hand and touched it lightly, and felt the resentment coming out of the light group very clearly.
"Cut ......" A group of monsters eavesdropping outside the wall sighed, especially Bai Qin, very disappointed, there was no adultery at this time, Mulberry must have hidden his feelings, in order to comfort Zuo Ling, he would say so.
"No wonder the mulberries looked sinister for a while, and they absorbed the resentment of the dead." Tian Luo suddenly realized, remembering the change of the mulberry for a while, and it was not two days after that change that the mulberry became even more powerful, more than one level higher than him.
"Not entirely." Lao Xunmu stroked his beard and said very gossipy: "Zuo Ling's resentment is too small to let him be promoted, and it is not the time for him to be resentful at that time, Mulberry will only help if he likes that good hair." He felt that if he did good deeds to this kind of person, maybe he would grow such beautiful hair in the future. ”
"He's dreaming." Bai Qin despises mulberries very much, although everything has cause and effect, but it is impossible for mulberries to give birth to such delusions.
"He's just dreaming." Lao Xunmu nodded: "Mulberry is just arranging a dream, a dream that happened in this world." ”
Mulberry over there has already explained to Zuo Ling, tomorrow morning, it is the last time for Mulberry to help Zuo Ling, and he will give Zuo Ling a medicine by the way, which he made himself, which can make people die without pain.
"Thank you." Zuo Ling still has some things that he hasn't dealt with well, otherwise it's okay to let him die now.
"You're welcome, I took your stuff too." Mulberry looked at Zuo Ling with a melancholy expression, as if she still had something to say.
"What's wrong?" Zuo Ling asked a little strangely.
"I can...... Touching your hair? Mulberry looked longing, just like Lao Xunmu said, the first time he noticed Zuo Ling, it was indeed because of his hair.
Zuo Ling took Mulberry's hand and put it on his head, after he was reborn, he actually hated it when others touched his hair, but let Mulberry touch it, he was willing, this monster, when he didn't know, did so many things for him, but he had no way to repay.
"It's so touchable." Mulberry's whole person smiled brightly, and his face didn't look so pale, it looked like a tree facing the sun, and through the gaps in the leaves, a few dappled bits of sunlight came to Zuo Ling's body.
After Zuo Ling went down the mountain, he first went to the barber shop, and then dealt with the matter at hand, he didn't care about the people, he could walk very lightly, and the company's affairs were also taught to a few trustworthy people under his hands, and the rest were donated to a charity that he was more trusted.
Zuo Ling didn't want to do anything good, he just felt that by doing so, he might be able to accumulate some merits. And he hopes that he can transfer these merits to Mulberry, so that he can not work so hard.
The sun had just risen in the morning, and there were not too many people in the upper reaches of Xunmu Mountain, so Zuo Ling carried a small bag in his hand and walked up slowly.
In the last life, when he came to look for Mushan, his heart was full of resentment, not only resentful people, but also resentful of heaven, blaming heaven for being too ruthless. Now Zuo Ling's heart is very peaceful, he is very grateful, grateful to God for letting him meet Mulberry, no matter what reason Mulberry helped him.
"Morning, come in and eat." Fu Langxuan had long known that Zuo Ling was coming, so he was waiting for him at the door.
The breakfast in the grocery store is very rich, there are more than 20 xiaolongbao alone, and there is a cat cub standing in each cage, and a small longbao eats very seriously, and Zuo Ling didn't look up when he came.
"Drink a bowl of porridge." Fu Langxuan put a bowl of porridge in front of Zuo Ling, which was the taste he was used to drinking.
After Zuo Ling left yesterday, Bai Qinghua directly made up a movie about Zuo Ling's life experience and showed it to Fu Langxuan, and Fu Langxuan finished watching Zuo Ling's previous life on the computer. I don't know how Bai Qinghua did it, but after seeing Zuo Ling's experience, Fu Langxuan suddenly felt that he was very lucky, at least he had someone by his side.
"Thank you." Zuo Ling finished his last breakfast very calmly, then handed the bag in his hand to Fu Langxuan, and then walked towards the mountain.
"I didn't say my last words, I just went." Bai Qin took a basket of chicken xiaolongbao and watched Zuo Ling leave, she had seen many human beings die, and those who could face death so calmly were only those old people, and most of the young people were very frightened.
