Chapter Seventy-Three: Great Loyalty Seems Like Treachery, Great Hypocrisy Seems Like Truth
In the face of my inquiry, the proprietress was dumbfounded, standing in place with an embarrassed face, not daring to say anything.
It seems that it is impossible to force the news about the goddess from the mouth of the proprietress to the mouth.
And there were so many people in the town that I didn't dare to coerce, so I had to ask in a different way, "How much do you know about Chen Shu?" ”
"This ......"
"If you say it clearly, I'll give you a spell to keep you safe."
Hearing this, the proprietress suddenly brightened her eyes, "I know everything, you listen to me carefully!" ”
"About 30 years ago, many people died of starvation in the Great Famine across the country. Our Heihe Town is backed by mountains, there is a source of living water, and no one dies of hunger, so Chen Shu fled from the famine that year. ”
"It was said that he had escaped, but in fact, he was lying on a wooden raft, washed over by the Heishui River, and was picked up by the village chief back then."
"When he picked up Chen Shu, he only had one breath left, and there were flies all over his body, and he could only survive by eating our hundred family meals in Heihe Town."
"He is a capable person, and when he recovers, he said that he would repay the favor of Heihe Town, and kill all the wild things such as tigers and jackals in the nearby mountains, and expand the land in the town."
"Since Chen Shu lived in the town, there have been no incidents of wild beasts hurting people. For many years, if anyone's family is short of food, they have not received much from Chen Shu's favor. ”
"As soon as this Chen Shu dies, it is estimated that everyone will feel uncomfortable......"
"Alright, you can get out."
The proprietress beautified Chen Shu's image too much, and it hardly had any reference value for me.
I don't believe that someone like this would shoot and kill innocent children!
And from Chen Shu's words, it can be heard that he was my grandfather's apprentice, and he has something to do with the so-called "moving mountains".
How can a guy with such a deep background be a completely good person?
The proprietress stayed in the house and didn't leave, "That...... Mr. Li, is it ...... that you promised me peace and happiness?"
I casually tore off the pieces of paper on the wall that served as window lattices, and guided the yin power with my hands to outline the incantations in the Taiqing Twelve Classics.
"Take it."
"Thank you, Mr. Lee!"
The proprietress took the charm and left happily.
Qin Yin was dissatisfied, "For a person like this, are you willing to give her a spell to bless peace?" ”
It is estimated that Qin Yin is still scheming, I gave Lu Heming a life-saving soul blood when I left before, but I didn't give it to her.
I explained, "Peace charms like this can bring a little bit of good luck, and if you want, I'll draw thirty or fifty of them in minutes." ”
"As for facing the ghosts, it doesn't work at all."
Qin Yin was stunned, and immediately realized, "You kid is really good!" ”
……
It was still foggy, and we all hid in the house for safety.
The proprietress was unusual, sent someone to clean up the house inside and out, brought a sumptuous meal, and specially prepared an extra room next door, so as not to make it inconvenient for Qin Yin to live with us.
After lunch, Lu Heming stretched his waist and fell asleep on the bed.
He had a fight with the townspeople today, and without Yin Qi as a supplement, he felt that fatigue was inevitable.
I opened the window and walked out of the balcony, silently watching Chen Shu's house burned to the ground, until nightfall......
In the dark night shrouded in thick fog, I couldn't see my fingers.
I jumped from the second-floor balcony and walked towards the charred and collapsed ruins.
Tearing away the broken brick walls, I said to the charred corpses cowering in the rubble, "It's time, open your eyes." ”
Chen Shu's ethereal soul came out of the charred corpse, and after a short period of confusion, he asked in shock, "Why don't I have a soul?" ”
"As I expected, the goddess only kills those who should be killed. And you, not on her list. ”
I sat on a charred bluestone and said calmly, "You are full of heaven, the earth is round, and you have a sense of righteousness on your body, you should be an old man who is serious and does great things." ”
"But after you kill that boy, your anger will be confused. Extreme, violent, replace the original breath, and you will already be what you are now. ”
Chen Shu smiled bitterly, "Little brother is good. But even so, I can't tell you. ”
"You don't have to say, I can guess the approximately."
I said indifferently, "The people in this town have done something unconscionable, and you want to help them hide it, so you will kill the boy and then commit suicide." ”
"You think you'll be able to wash away your sins and save the town, am I right?"
"Yes." Chen Shu replied, "But if you want to ask again, I won't answer a word." ”
"I only ask you one question, if you are willing to answer, I will send you to reincarnate, otherwise I will urgently kill you now!"
Seeing that my eyes were cold, Chen Shu couldn't help but shudder.
Since he is a cultivator, he should understand the consequences of losing his soul.
After hesitating for a long time, Chen Shu finally gritted his teeth, "As long as it doesn't involve something too deep, I'll tell you!" ”
I immediately asked, "Why did the goddess kill only those who should be killed?" ”
After hearing the question, Chen Shu breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "In the year of the famine, the child's mother was starved to death, and it was only by being nursed by the goddess that she lived. ”
"His life belongs to the goddess, so the goddess must take it back."
"Good."
I nodded, and even though I chanted the mantra:
The edict of the Taishang, the lonely soul of Chaoyou. Ghosts and ghosts, four lives are gracious.
Born of others, for men and women, you bear your own responsibility, and you recruit yourself......
With the chanting of the mantra, Chen Shu's body lit up with a clear light, and the power of reincarnation pulled it into the six reincarnation disks little by little.
Chen Shu clasped his fists at me and said respectfully, "Thank you, little brother, for sending me on my last ride." ”
I said calmly, "No thanks. ”
"By the way, I have already seen that the young man in the suit is your own son."
"Your death is not a selfless desire to protect the town from disasters, but just to protect your son's life and career."
"With this sin, I am afraid that you will only be reduced to the beast path in the next life."
As a feng shui practitioner, looking at the face is the most basic skill. When I met the young man in the suit, I had already picked him up as the son of Chen Shu.
As a result, I borrowed the information in the picture of the goddess and the news I got from the proprietress to finally peel off the true purpose and face of Chen Shu!
Great loyalty is like treachery, and great hypocrisy is like truth. He pretended to be the end, and he almost thought it was true.
In an instant, Chen Shu's eyes were as red as blood, and he yelled at me hysterically, "What do you know!?" ”
I said, "I know everything I should know and what I shouldn't know." ”
"Ah, fuck off, you shit!"
Chen Shu struggled, trying to escape the shackles of reincarnation, "If you dare to touch my son, I won't let you go!" ”
"You can't be a ghost, you can only be reincarnated as a beast."
I remained calm, "If you want me not to move your son, you can tell me the details and information of the goddess, this is your last chance." ”
Even though his eyes seemed to tear me apart with anger, Chen Shu could only say unwillingly, "The matter of the goddess, one or two sentences are not clear!" But on the beam of the old ancestral hall, there is a book with everything you want to read! ”
