Chapter 31: The Stand-in

They sat on Xuanwu's back and swam in the sea, like a small speck of dust compared to the sea. The farther and farther you go, the sky and the sea seem to be connected, where is the real end of the world? No wonder they say that I am willing to follow you to the ends of the earth, it is so far away, I am afraid it will take a lifetime if I really rely on it.

Xuanwu walked very steadily and quickly, the sun was no longer so strong, the sun slowly hid in the clouds, and the afterglow was reflected on the white clouds, as if the sky was red, the sun should be very hot. Finally arrived on the other side of the sea before the moon came out, Ji Ruxi hugged Xuanwu's neck and said goodbye to it, Xuanwu spit out an east pearl from his mouth and spit it in Ji Ruxi's hand.

"For me?" Ji Ruxi pointed to himself and asked Xuanwu, who nodded his head. "When I come back, I will definitely come to see you." Xuanwu rubbed Ji Ruxi like a child, and Ji Ruxi waved goodbye to Xuanwu.

"I didn't expect our family Ruxi to be so likeable." Zhang Zifan said solemnly, and then said: "Seriously, Ruxi, you are really getting more and more humane." The corners of Ji Ruxi's mouth raised a graceful arc, not as cold as before. Even she found out herself, I don't know why.

After passing through the South China Sea, you will arrive at Linchu in a blink of an eye, all of which are by the sea.

"It's going to be the Midyear Festival in a blink of an eye, and it's time for me to let those souls go to reincarnation." Zhang Zifan looked at the soul gathering bag in his hand, he really didn't know what he thought about killing so many innocent people for his own selfish desires.

"Your lady is going to meet you again, I'm glad to do it." After Ji Ruxi finished speaking, everyone laughed.

"Don't laugh, don't laugh." Zhang Zifan's face was already red.

On the day of the Midyear Festival, the beach is also very lively, but the people here do not put lanterns, but paper boats, saying that only by sitting on a boat can they board Elysium, and those who do not have a boat can only wander on the shore and find a substitute. Therefore, during the Midyear Festival, people will put a lot of paper boats to help those dead people drift across the sea, and do not stay here to harm others. Zhang Zifan found a quiet place to practice, countless everlasting lamps flew into the sky, only people with mana can see that each lamp carries a dead soul, the lamp is for them to illuminate, do not let them go to the wrong place. There is only one lamp that has not flown up, and it is Lu Jinqing's.

Seeing this situation, Ji Ruxi took them elsewhere and gave the two of them a chance to be alone.

"I'm leaving, and I don't know if we can see each other again in the next life." Tears overflowed in Lu Jinqing's eyes. Zhang Zifan smiled and wiped away Lu Jinqing's tears: \"As long as there is fate, I will definitely see you again." “

"Can I hug you, then?" Lu Jinqing looked at Zhang Zifan affectionately, Zhang Zifan nodded, and Lu Jinqing hugged Zhang Zifan. The everlasting lamp belonging to Lu Jinqing turned on again, drifting into the distance with her soul, and finally disappeared into the night, Zhang Zifan sat alone on the beach for a long time before coming back. Qiankun and Xiao Baozi had already fallen asleep, and Zhang Zifan walked into the house.

"Ru Xi, I still haven't figured out the bunch of rabbits you talked about in the Midyear Festival." Zhang Zifan touched his head embarrassedly.

"It was a murder that had been planned for a long time. Yan Yuhuo is Yan Yuyang's biological brother and Yan Yuyang's most trusted person, and Shangguan Yi was a famous general at that time, and he made countless contributions to Yan Guo. In order to kill Shangguan Yi, Yan Yuhuo colluded with the national teacher and imperial doctor, and secretly poisoned Yan Yuyang, in order to kill Shangguan Yi. It's just because Yan Yuhuo fell in love with Shangguan Yi's wife Murong Li. He thought that Shangguan Yi had robbed Murong Li of his heart, so he also wanted Shangguan Yi to taste this taste, so he said that he wanted to use his heart's blood as medicine. Yan Yuyang, who took the medicine, really got better, and Yan Yuhuo was also by Murong Li's side to take care of her, but Murong Li kept ignoring him. One day Murong Li found out the truth of the matter and wrote the nursery rhyme and committed suicide, most of the people involved in the matter at that time were wiped out, and the smart seclusion hid, and in the end he did not escape the catastrophe, and there was later Song Lian, and the nursery rhyme that was sung by people. The most powerful general of the Yan Kingdom died, which also laid the groundwork for the destruction of the Yan Kingdom. Ji Ruxi's cold voice drifted in this night. Everyone thinks that the royal family is good, but they don't know that it is actually the darkest and most filthy place, and they can do whatever it takes for their own selfish desires.

In the early morning, there were many people on the coast, and Zhang Zifan approached to see that it was a man's body, which was still in the fishing net at this time, presumably just salvage, and it seemed that he died yesterday. His family wept bitterly.

"My son, how can you let your mother live when you leave, I can't imagine that when you are old, you will have to send a white-haired person to a black-haired person." An old man with white hair was crying, and at first glance it was the man's mother. Next to her was a middle-aged woman and a half-year-old child.

"Da Zhuang, how can you live if you leave us orphans and widows." The middle-aged woman was already in tears, the child was already crying speechless, it was the man's wife and child. With the help of fellow villagers, they set up a mourning hall at home and held a funeral for the man.

He wasn't supposed to die, but he was pulled to be a stand-in. Ji Ruxi walked along the beach and saw the man who had just died, that was his soul, he was staging the scene when he was drowned, desperately trying to come up but couldn't get up, the sea water poured down one by one, and his chest was as if it was about to explode, and finally he didn't even have the strength to struggle, and swallowed his last breath.

This is the case with people who die horizontally, they experience the pain of death every day, and until they find the next person who dies like them, they will be liberated and enter the six realms of reincarnation again.

Seeing that Ji Ruxi had been staring at him, he said to her: "Can you see me?" Ji Ruxi nodded to show that she could see.

"It's painful." Da Zhuang was stunned for a moment after hearing this, the pain just now was still vivid, and this was only the first day. When he saw his loved ones crying, he wanted to tell them he was still there, but he couldn't. His approach to them will only bring disaster to them, Da Zhuang is well aware of this. He would rather endure loneliness here than add a little more burden to his family. He didn't understand why the woman in front of him was saying that.

"Are you going to kill others like other ghosts to fulfill yourself?" Ji Ruxi could see that the big man in front of him was very kind, and there was no anger on his body at all.

Da Zhuang was stunned, and even he didn't know if he could endure the pain every day. Perhaps, when he can't bear the pain anymore, he will also kill others to free himself. Thinking of this, he didn't even hate the person who pulled him down, after all, such pain and endless loneliness were not something that anyone could bear.

"I don't know if I'll be like that, but I know that I have to suffer this endless pain every day, maybe one day I can't stand it anymore I will" Da Zhuang didn't say any more, Ji Ruxi smiled, this is a very honest and honest person.

"It's your own choice of fate, and I'll know the answer when I come back if you're still here." Ji Ruxi left the coast after saying this, and she asked Lei Jiao to give Da Zhuang's family some money because of his honesty.

It is said that human nature is inherently good, Ji Ruxi just wants to see how he will choose in the face of endless pain, whether to free himself or fulfill others. It doesn't matter whether it's right or wrong, and this choice is inherently unfair.

When I arrived in Fengxiang, I heard about such a thing, the eldest lady of the county marquis family was sick, very sick, and now she is visiting a famous doctor to see a doctor for the eldest lady, and those who are optimistic about the eldest lady will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver. "When a woman is sick and makes such a big commotion, this county marquis must love his daughter very much." Zhang Zifan stared at the notice in front of him and said.

Ji Ruxi and the others looked at each other, and everyone knew that this was Zhang Zifan's greed for money.
