16 Epilogue, no death
Heart-splitting.
Hades wrote two words with a solemn expression.
I knelt on the temple of Hades and kowtowed to Hades for the first time.
I have killed thousands of people in the human world, which has greatly disrupted the order of reincarnation. The punishment of heart-splitting is really lighter, and presumably the king of Hades has put a lot of pressure on me in the dark.
Before I went to hell for execution, the black impermanence pulled me and sighed, "It's a stone, and I finally have some thoughts and I'm going to rip out my heart...... It's still a spiritual thing, but what's the difference between it and a moving stone? ”
I said, "Isn't that still a brain?" ”
Black Impermanence continued to shake his head and sigh. Little ghosts A and B also look sad. Only Bai Wuchang is still Su Ri's cold face: "Remorseful? ”
I know what he's asking. I went back to the underworld, Moxi must know, he has gone through the tribulation now. As a god, plead for me, maybe I can be spared this punishment. And I was punished this time, in the eyes of others, most of it was because of Moxi.
But he didn't do anything. He didn't even come to the underworld to look at me.
I thought about it, shook my head and said, "No regrets." ”
"Why?"
I glanced back at the endless Huangquan Road, where ghosts kept walking down, but in my eyes there were only those bewitching and lonely flowers on the side of the road, just like the day I first saw Moxi, the sun poured by the human world and sprinkled the ground.
"It's so coincidental that I bumped into it. I couldn't help it. I sighed and laughed at myself, "Maybe if I don't have this heart, I'll regret it." ”
Bai Wuchang didn't speak again, and sent me to the place of execution before turning around and leaving.
The process of cutting out my heart was very smooth, and the ghost who tortured me was very fast. I felt the tip of the knife go into my chest, and the heart that had been beating warmly in my chest was removed. It wasn't until the wound was stitched up that I felt pain.
It turns out that a stone hurts even if it has no heart.
There is a rule in the underworld that spirits or ghosts that have been punished cannot be helped. So that day I climbed back into the Sansheng Stone alone. Blood trickled down his chest, seeped through his clothes, and fell to the ground.
Later, when I was recuperating in the stones, the little ghost armor secretly told me that the blood stains I fell on the ground grew fragrant flowers, which some people called plums. It's very beautiful.
I didn't believe it at first hearing.
The underworld is a dead place. Difu, Lethe River is the place that has died. There are only dead things, and never living things. Except for the occasional return of the boring gods in the sky, how can this underworld grow flowers on its own.
It wasn't until later that I smelled the aroma of plum in the stones.
Little Ghost B said to me: "Sansheng, your real body grows in a beautiful red flower, fragrant and beautiful. It's almost not like our underworld. ”
I don't know what's going on, and I don't bother to think about it. After my heart was removed, I seemed to be much more relaxed, and some of the curiosity and reluctance I had felt gradually faded. Only occasionally can the shadow of Moxi float in my mind.
But I think that as time goes by, this beautiful figure will disappear from my mind one day!
Just like the wound on the chest that is slowly healing, one day there will be no scar left.
By the time the wound had healed and I was able to walk a few steps away from the stone, the plum blossom that had bloomed beside me had long since gone.
I don't have any regrets at all, and I think more and more deeply that these things, whether they are the sunshine of the human world, or the red plum with a dark fragrance, or the warm and jade-like Moxi, should become the clouds of the past. Wave it and blow it away.
My days in the underworld are not much different from before, and I still walk by the Lethe River every day, and I also lean on the stones every day to read some of the words brought by the world.
It's just that the kind of yearning and longing that was once hidden in the bottom of my heart has now become a simple memory in my mind. Those beautiful episodes can no longer make me throb.
One day, when I was returning from a walk along the Lechuan River, I looked up and saw another figure standing next to my real body.
He rested one hand on the stone, his eyes drooping, not knowing what he was thinking. On that side, it seems to be still and becomes a beautiful painting.
"Moxi......" I opened my lips slightly, and lightly spat out these two names that I hadn't called for a long time.
The man slowly raised his head at my call.
Seeing this face that I hadn't seen for a long time, I couldn't help but reach out and caress my heart, and there was no longer a pounding feeling in that empty place.
But why, I couldn't help but want to wet my eyes.
Only then did I realize that it was not that I didn't miss it, but that I forced myself not to miss it anymore. I'm afraid that the memories will go crazy and I can't keep it up.
He smiled warmly as my vision blurred.
"Didn't you say you were going to hook up with me? Such a stupid performance can't get into the eyes of this god. ”
I stood still.
He smiled and stretched out his hand to me: "Sansheng, come and let me take a look." ”
And my feet went over without being called. He touched my hair: "Don't you hate people touching your hair the most?" ”
I nodded honestly: "Because it's not easy for stones to grow hair." ”
"Are you angry when I touch it like this?"
I shook my head: "Because it's Moxi." ”
He squinted and smiled with great pleasure. I said, "You are the god of war now, I can't beat you." His hand paused, pressing harder and harder against my hair. I said, "Even if I can fight, I can't do it." ”
"Reluctantly?"
"Reluctantly."
He was silent, and suddenly reached out to hold my hand, and his ten fingers were tightly interlocked: "Sansheng, go to heaven with me." You like plum so much, can you be a plum fairy? ”
I looked up at him, and when I saw that he looked serious, and knew that he was not joking, I couldn't help but step back in fright, trying to break away from his hand. But he fastened it tightly.
I was slightly flustered: "I'm just a spiritual creature of the underworld, a three-life stone full of yin energy, I shouldn't have gone to the heavens, and now I have lost my heart......"
Moxi sighed: "Sansheng, you spent three lives hooking up with me, and now you finally hooked up, but do you want to turn around and leave?" That's not going to work. I can't let go. ”
"You...... Say what? ”
"Sansheng, you hooked up with me."
I was stunned.
Moxi took out a round object glowing with fluorescent light from his arms: "I originally wanted to give it to you later." He twisted the trick, and I saw the thing in his palm flash, and it disappeared in an instant, and then my chest suddenly warmed, and the feeling of warmth that I had not felt for a long time overflowed from my heart again.
My heart.
Moxi gave me back my ripped out heart!
The feelings in my heart surged out, squeezing the blood and letting the warm pain overflow all over my body: "Moxi...... I, I'm ......," tears welled up in my eyes, "I was born in Lethe, and I never really lived, and after staying in this place of death for so long, I'm afraid I won't live." ”
His fingertips gently wiped my cheeks, and said gently: "Three lives have been raised here, and my three lives are spiritual creatures that I have ever seen to live wantonly and boldly, how can you not live." ”
He said: "Three lives, forget the river without death." ”
He rubbed my hair: "Is it good to go to the realm with me and be the wife of the god of war?" ”
"Did I hook you up?"
He sighed: "I hooked up early." ”
I bowed my head, stepped into his arms, reached out and gently wrapped my arms around his waist, my cheek pressed quietly against his chest.
"To marry or not to marry?"
"Marry."
