Chapter 52: Becoming a Demon
"Life is short, but in a few decades, this body will be damaged and will grow old, or Pei Yuewan will die? Do you know that at that time, the puppet without the master will become a nightmare, and will live forever and never be liberated?"
Hearing these two words, Xie Zhi couldn't help laughing, he had heard the monks outside the Saiwai say that most of these things are incarnated by desires or remnant spirits, unlike humans and animals that can be reincarnated, nor like desolate spirits that can travel in the world, after they lose their bodies, they will be trapped in their own or other people's nightmares and tortured, until their consciousness is exhausted, and they will disappear between heaven and earth.
"As long as you can achieve what you want, even if you become a demon, what if you become a demon. ”
Yue Qianlong slapped his palms angrily: "Crazy, crazy, I see that you and that crazy woman happen to be together, the two of us are nosy, and kindness is treated as a donkey's liver and lungs!"
Xie Shu was silent, in fact, in the past few days of sleep, those memories that belong to Yanxiu kept pouring into his mind, as if Yanxiu and Yuejuan had been re-experienced by themselves for more than ten years.
When Yue'er was a toddler, it was Yanxiu who knelt on the bed and led her to move forward little by little; when Yue'er also began to pick out clothes, it was Yanxiu who invited the best craftsmen in Lip Tiancheng to tailor her clothes; even Yue'er, who was a real adult, sat on the blood-stained bed on the night of the first visit, coaxing and taking care of her...... At that time, Xie Zhi realized that he was once shallow, and in the more than ten years that Yuewan had lived, there was actually only one person who had been suspended.
Now that Yanxiu is gone, how can she live alone as a child? Yuewan did all this just because she was too afraid.
"Yuewan, she is just a lonely and willful child, why are you so harsh on her?"
Su Jue was speechless for a while, he couldn't tell whether the person in front of him was Xie Zhi or Pei Yanxiu.
"Who the hell are you?"
"Me?" Xie Zhen's heart sank, he only understood what Yuewan was thinking in his sleep in the past few days, compared to Yanxiu, he had never done anything with Yuewan. Back then, he ran to Mobei without leaving a word because of cowardice in his heart, if he hadn't left their brothers and sisters alone in Mirage City at that time, would this ending be different?
In guilt, Xie Zhi said clearly: "I...... I would rather be Pei Zixiao, and I would rather wear his skin to become a corpse puppet that only thinks that Yue'er can only remember Yue'er, and I am also willing to become a charm to bear the karma she committed. ”
Yue Qianlong was taken aback: "What did you say?"
"I just ask the two of you to let me use the identity of extended rest again and live again. ”
"You-" Yue Qianlong stomped his feet angrily: "No, no matter what you say, I can't let go of this hurting Pei Yuewan, otherwise we will be able to explain when we go back!"
"Forget it. Su Jue turned around and only said, "Qianlong, let's go." ”
"Xiao Jue, what are you talking about? How can we just leave like this, we are aiding and abusing!"
"I said, let's go, Lu Li will leave it to me. ”
Xie Zhi heard this: "The two great graces thank you here, Yue'er and I will never return to Mirage City in this life, and I hope that the two of you will bring a message to Chaoyun who is still in Pei Mansion to make her cherish herself, and say goodbye." ”
"Okay, the words will be brought. ”
"Hey, what are you talking about, Xiao Jue! we can't just leave-"
Yue Qianlong was forcibly dragged out of the door by Su Jue as soon as he finished speaking, and when the two of them came out of the wind and smoke station, the wind on the street was stronger, and the world said that the cold wind in the northwest could blow people's hearts through and cool, but Su Jue's hands were warm, Yue Qianlong followed behind him, and gradually gave up struggling.
"Xiao Jue, why did you let them go?"
"Why don't I let them go? The affairs and righteousness in this world have nothing to do with me, I just waded into this troubled water for Lu Li's sake, not to mention that Pei Yanxiu is dead, and we don't know about the bone powder in the cup, let alone save Xie Zhen, what do you want me to do with Pei Yuewan? Could it be that you want to lynch yourself?"
"I ......"
"If you still want to pester you, I can't take care of you, but I can go back to Mirage by myself. ”
This person was angry in his words, as if he was really angry, Yue Qianlong couldn't guess his thoughts, so he had to show softness and said: "Since you said so, why am I going to entangle?" I just think that Pei Gongzi and Xie Zhi are too wronged, I just don't want to just cheapen that woman so that she can get her wish. ”
"I don't know if Pei Yanxiu died unjustly, but for Pei Yuexuan, she will naturally know the pain in the future. ”
"Suffering, tying Xie Zhi by her side, how can she suffer anything?"
"Do you remember what I said about the nightmare? Every stitch and thread in that human skin dress is dyed with Pei Yuewan's obsession, I don't know if she can afford this karmic embrace that incarnates as a nightmare, I don't know if she will be as fearless as Xie Zhen. ”
"You ......" Yue Qianlong suddenly realized: "It turns out that what did you just say about Pei Yuewan, not Xie Zhen?"
"In fact, the moment I saw Xie Zhi, I understood that the Gu contract between him and Pei Yuewan was a contract, and the contract would naturally be eliminated as soon as Xie Zhi or Pei Yuewan died, and Xie Zhi just wanted to be a living dead in this life. ”
"Then why did you lie to Xie Zhen, why didn't you tell him the truth?"
However, it was he who personally threw out the box of bone meal, and also buried the only chance to rescue Pei Yuejuan, the fact is already so, if I tell Xie Shu the truth, then wouldn't he also have to suffer for the rest of his life? In this case, why should I tell everything about it? But at that time, Xie Zhi said conclusively, I really couldn't imagine that there were such obsessed people in the world, who would be willing to be imprisoned forever for the sake of this short decades of companionship. ”
Yue Qianlong nodded, and his soft voice was full of melancholy: "In this way, that Pei Yuewan is too pitiful." Think about it, who in this world can live a lifetime with memories and past obsessions? In the end, she is the only one who is trapped by that garment for the rest of her life. ”
"If a mortal wants to reverse life and death, and change the norm, then she always has to pay an extraordinary price. ”
Reversing life and death, changing the program, Yue Qianlong suddenly remembered the two moon spirit grasses raised in the Perseverance Hall, Jiang Yan said that the thing is attracting souls, so what Su Jue wants to do is not different from this Pei Yuewan?
"Xiao Jue, if you were replaced by Pei Yuewan, would you do the same?"
"Why do you ask?"
"From the Nuwa Divine Realm to Taihua Mountain, doesn't Xiao Jue want to do the same as Pei Yuewan?"
Su Jue stopped.
"Aren't you going to bring Ye Lou back from the dead?"
"He's not dead! He's different from Pei Yanxiu!" Su Jue roared, and even his eyes were stained with a lot of fierceness, and after a long time, he calmed down a little and said slowly: "I owe him a lot in my life, even if I want to be in purgatory forever, I will never regret it." ”
"Xiao Jue ......"
"You're right, what I did was the same as Pei Yuewan, so I have selfish intentions in this matter, I just want her to get her wish. ”
Yue Qianlong stood in place, she remembered her conversation with Xie Zhen, she repeatedly called Pei Yuewan a 'madman', wouldn't it hurt Su Jue too?
"Xiao Jue, I'm sorry. ”
Su Jue looked at this person with a little surprise, walked a few steps, and suddenly said, "His name is Su Yelou, he is my elder brother, and he is also my only relative in the world. ”
This person once said that he was not allowed to mention the word 'Ye Lou' again, but now he actually confessed to himself? It turns out that the person is Xiao Jue's brother?
Yue Qianlong lowered his head to look at Su Jue's empty palm, it seemed that Pei Yuewan's incident had a great impact on him. Reversing life and death, changing the norm, these always have to pay a price, but she doesn't want this person to bear these costs alone.
"If I were Xie Zhen, would I do that?"
"Chitaki?"
She grabbed Su Jue's windswept right palm, and said with a smile: "Because, if you are willing to be Pei Yuewan, if it is Xiao Jue, I will definitely do it like Xie Shu." ”
"Why? I, I don't understand. ”
"Don't understand?" Yue Qianlong rolled his eyes, "It's good if you don't understand, but it's not the Xiao Jue I like." ”
As soon as Su Jue's steps stopped, Yue Qianlong said the word 'like' to him for the first time.
"What did you say?"
"I'm ......" Yue Qianlong let go of his hand, ran to the front first, and shouted: "I said it's too cold, hurry back!"
The light was about to break, and the two of them walked down the street one after the other, and their shadows were stretched little by little.
After returning to Yanxue Tea Shop, the two of them explained to Lu Li that they avoided the important and explained lightly, anyway, Pei Yanxiu could go to reincarnation, Lu Li was relieved when he heard this, and he didn't ask anymore.
The five-day deadline is approaching, and they should meet Taihua Mountain in the evening.
"Chito, you helped my family Xiaoli this time, these are my free gifts. ”
Yue Qianlong took a small bag and asked curiously, "What is it?"
"Don't you want a dream soul? These are enough for you to swim in Brother Su's dreams. ”
Yue Qianlong looked at the small sac in his hand intently, but threw it back into Jiang Yan's hand.
"What?
"No, thank you, but I don't need it anymore. ”
"Oh, where did Chitaki come from?"
"What I know is Xiao Jue now, not the one trapped in the nightmare, so I don't need this thing anymore. ”
Yes, Su Jue has fallen into the past, she doesn't want to let herself become like this, maybe she can be a little more sober in this way, and when can she hold him up, instead of sinking with that person, because she will never let Su Jue become Pei Yuejuan!
The way back was very quiet, only Meng Qingque chattered non-stop, this time he not only bought back what he needed, but also learned to make wine with others.
"I haven't seen anyone in the past few days, it turns out that I went to learn art. ”
"I've been doing a few days of hard work, but I've finally learned this job, one day I brew good wine, how about everyone drink it together until dawn?"
Yue Qianlong glanced at him, "Senior Brother Qingque is certainly not afraid of being sheltered, but we are humble, and we can't afford to be discovered by Senior Brother Ning." ”
"I'll take care of everything!"
The mountain gate has arrived, a few people have landed, and before arriving at Rin Yao City, they saw rows of frames, how magnificent the momentum was.
