Chapter 150: The Mandala Under the Scars

If the world had asked me to copy the faces of angels, I would have put the side of your sleeping face on paper. The corners of the eyes are slightly highlighted, and the tip of the pen hooks the lips and the corners of the mouth are slightly raised. From then on, I have to be wary of those who see your smile, whose greedy gaze seems to have found a cure for the wounds of the world, and when the time comes, I will take up the spear that guards you.

Jinqiu looked at Xie Xin's sleeping face and was fascinated for a while, at first he didn't think there was anything special about this girl who slowly seeped into his life like flowing water. When he calmed down and looked at a girl, he realized that her beauty was clean and pure, and Jinqiu was very glad that he hadn't seen her watery eyes at this time, otherwise he would definitely fall into it without accident.

Xie Xin flipped it lightly (shēn), Jinqiu was slightly startled in his heart, and thought that Xie Xin had woken up, and when he heard her thin snoring, the light waves in his heart quietly receded. Jinqiu returned to his room and was about to go to bed, when he turned on the bedroom light, he suddenly had an idea. Then he crept to the living room, and then gently carried Xie Xin to his bedroom. I don't know if Xie Xin is really tired, or if she has been longing for Jinqiu's arms for too long, from Jinqiu picking her up to putting her on the bedroom (chuáng) Xie Xin didn't wake up, Jinqiu covered the quilt for Xie Xin again, and she raised the corners of her mouth slightly in her dream.

Jin Qiu collapsed on the sofa in the living room, after the first meeting of the female ghost ancestor, he now felt that the whole (shēn) was about to fall apart, and he would have to go to Xuzi Dao with Fang Fan and them tomorrow morning, and the best choice now was to go to bed quickly. But as soon as he closed his eyes, the appearance of the female ghost ancestor appeared in front of him, and when he opened his eyes, he couldn't see anything. As soon as he closed his eyes, he sat up and then moved to sleep on the other side of the couch.

At this moment, a fresh fragrance wafted into his nose, and he remembered that this was the place where Xie Xin had just slept. I don't know why I suddenly felt a sense of peace of mind, and when I closed my eyes again, the female ghost ancestor no longer appeared. Could it be that she is an angel who can take away evil? Jinqiu fell into a deep sleep with this inexplicable thought.

When Xie Xin opened her eyes and saw an unfamiliar room in the early morning, her first reaction was to see if her clothes were in good condition. Xie Xin breathed a long sigh of relief, except for the shoes that were missing, nothing else had changed. Xie Xin went barefoot to the living room and found a prepared breakfast and a note on the dining table, which read.

"After breakfast, I have to bother Teacher Xie to send Qing'er to school. New toiletries have been placed in the bathroom. ”

There is an autumn character written in the place where the payment is made, in standard italics. Xie Xin carefully put the note in his pocket, and then went to call Qing'er Qi (chuáng). Qing'er rubbed her eyes and saw that it was Xie Xin who called herself up (chuáng), so she asked.

"Teacher Xie, you didn't leave last night?"

Xie Xin's face suddenly turned red and said.

"I last night... Oops, adults and children don't care. ”

Qing'er smiled and said.

"Sister-in-law, take me to wash."

Xie Xin scolded with a smile.

"Where did you learn this, little kid? Hurry up (chuáng) to wash up and have breakfast. ”

"My brother dressed me every day. Hey, sure enough, it's my brother who loves me the most. ”

Xie Xin suddenly felt that she was talking to an adult, and she suddenly felt in her heart that Qing'er, this little girl, was a little too precocious.

"I'll dress you, but you have to promise me to go wash up as soon as I'm ready."

Qing'er nodded excitedly and said.

"And comb your braids."

After a busy day, Xie Xin and Qing'er were about to go out, when she saw that there was a note from Jinqiu on the shoe cabinet, which read.

"There's a house key in the glass jar, remember to lock the door when you leave, and I'll pick her up from school on time at night."

Xie Xin put the note in his pocket, and Qing'er looked at Xie Xin's smiling appearance and asked.

"Brother, what did you say?"

"He told me to remember to lock the door."

"How does it feel to be a hostess?"

Xie Xin was amused by Qing'er's words, and then squatted down (shēn) and gently pressed his index finger on Qing'er's small mouth and said.

"Don't talk nonsense when you get out of this door."

Xie Xin locked the door, and Qing'er went to press the elevator. After the two entered the elevator, Qing'er sighed softly and said.

"Adults don't live frankly at all."

Xie Xin pretended not to hear it, and took Qing'er's hand and went to school. She is not rejecting the possible relationship between her and Jinqiu, but there are still some girls who are reserved and shy.

At the same time, Jinqiu had already met with Fang Fan and them in the shroud shop. Fang Fan and Zhang Ze looked at Jinqiu with a wicked smile, and Jinqiu felt that their gazes were like stabbing itchy (ròu) hands, which made him feel uncomfortable, Jinqiu asked.

"What are you two looking at?"

Zhang Ze stepped forward and smiled evilly.

"We're looking at what happens to a no-kill who is moistened by (ài) (qíng)?"

Jinqiu said with a helpless face.

"What a mess, what (ài) (qíng), killer, what do you have in your head."

Zhang Ze stepped forward and poked Jinqiu with his elbow and said.

"What did you do with Qing'er's teacher last night?"

"I didn't do anything, please don't gossip so much, big man."

Zhang Ze asked reluctantly, and at this time, Xuzidao came out of the room, and Fang Fan hurriedly stepped forward to salute. But Zhang Ze and Jinqiu didn't notice it, and they were still playing on the sidelines. Fang Fan immediately shouted.

"Stop making a fuss."

Zhang Ze and Jinqiu immediately quieted down, and hurriedly came to Xuzidao to salute. Xuzidao smiled slightly and asked.

"What?"

Jinqiu stepped forward and said.

"Did you know that there was an ancestor of the Three Clouds Gang, and her soul did not seem to return to the ancestral hall but has been floating in the branch of the Three Clouds Gang, which has now been converted into a playground, and the branch seems to be in the haunted house of the playground."

"What else?"

"Also, this ancestor told us that if we want to catch Chaikin, we must ask for your help. Because he seems to be very good at ghost control now, but our current strength is still weak, and we are not his opponent. ”

Xuzi Dao sighed and said.

"That female ghost is indeed the ancestor of the Sanyun Gang. Her name is Jin Nolan, the first generation of Gao Yuntang's head, who was framed for chastity due to a dispute within the gang, and finally committed suicide by hanging herself in the back hall. People who commit suicide are also called horizontal ghosts, and they can't enter the ghost gate, so they can only float outside (dàng) and eventually become lonely ghosts. ”

Jinqiu said.

"I didn't expect her (shēn) life to be so pitiful, so is there any way to save her?"

Yes, but she wouldn't. Perhaps she enjoyed the freedom of wandering more than returning to the place that saddened her. ”

Xuzi Dao pondered for a moment and said.

"Let her go beforehand, and take me to see the place you said."

"No problem."

A few people came to the playground with Xuzi Dao, and there was no one in the playground at this time, and a few people went straight to the haunted house, Fang Fan said.

"This is it."

Xuzidao looked at the haunted house, and then said.

"Five thunder nets, Tiangang array. He's using God to protect ghosts, which is not easy to break. ”

Fang Fan and the others were confused when they heard it, and said.

"Since ancient times, gods and ghosts have not been separated, how can there be a situation where gods protect ghosts (qíng)."

Xuzidao didn't speak, walked to the door of the haunted house, and said.

"Let's go in and have a look."

When a few people were about to go in, Xuzi said.

"Wait, you guys drink this."

Xuzi Dao took out two pills from his arms and handed them to Fang Fan and Jinqiu, Fang Fan asked.

"What is this?"

"Soul Avoiding Pills. Those ghosts who eat this will not approach you on their own initiative. ”

Zhang Ze looked at Xuzidao with anticipation in his eyes and asked.

"What about mine? What about mine? ”

"You don't need it, you have a green snake in your body, even if a spirit attacks you, there is a green snake to protect you."

Then Xuzi Dao tapped Fang Fan and Jinqiu's heads, and then said.

"I temporarily opened (yīn) yang eyes for the two of you, don't panic no matter what you see after you go in, the more you panic, the more resentful ghosts will haunt you, and even if you eat the spirit avoidance pill, it won't work, the most important thing is courage."

With that, a few people walked in. The inside was still the same as before, with red curtains on both sides, and the sign for the emergency passage was still at the end of the hallway. Although the surrounding environment is the same, in Jinqiu's opinion, this place is much more noisy than before, it turns out that this place is not empty (dàng) (dàng), and the corridor is already full of ghosts. There are those with bandages, there are those whose limbs are missing and only their torsos are left, there are those whose tongues are drooping forward (xiōng), and there is one who almost made Jinqiu vomit out his breakfast, which can no longer be said to be a ghost, looking at the puddle of mud (ròu) on the ground, Jinqiu guessed that he must have died miserably. Jinqiu asked Fang Fan in a low voice.

"See?"

"Clearly."

"You're not afraid?"

Fang Fan smiled and said.

"I've seen anything more exciting than this before."

"Tell me about it when you have time."

At this time, they had already reached the end of the corridor, Jinqiu looked at the sign, and then said to Xuzidao.

"It's a dead pass."

Xuzidao touched the wall, and then read it in his mouth.

"(jìn) The demon seal swallows the six paths, and the void death is vain to Kunlun, and it is broken."

As soon as the words fell, the wall in front of them suddenly turned into a door, and there was a hideous face walking on the door, and Xuzi said.

"These are gatekeepers, don't stare at a face all the time, or you'll be sucked in."

Several people nodded one after another, and then Xuzidao pushed the door open with both hands, and there was a wail from the door, and a burst of dust flew up, and several people hurriedly covered their mouths and noses. When the smoke cleared, I saw a woman sitting in the middle of the room, and many ghosts stood on either side, as if waiting to be judged.

"Xuzi Dao, it's been a long time."

"Nolan, long time no see."

"I didn't expect them to really bring you here."

"It has nothing to do with them, there must be a break between us."

"Oh? Looks like you knew there was going to be such a day. ”

The more Fang Fan listened, the more confused they became, and asked.

"Daddy, what's the situation? It doesn't look like she's looking for you to help. ”

Xuzi Dao pondered for a moment and said.

"Of course not, she came to me for revenge."

"Revenge? What do you mean? ”

At this time, Jin Nolan suddenly laughed and said.

"Xuzi Dao, it seems that you haven't told them what you did?"

"I haven't done anything to be sorry for you except for not saving you from death."

"Didn't you join them in framing me in the first place?"

As soon as the words fell, the whole room began to tremble violently, and Jin Nolan's face also changed, her face suddenly darkened (yīn), and it was covered with cracks, and there were only two small red dots left in her eyes, and her whole face was like a cracked earth. Xuzidao hurriedly said.

"Don't be angry, we will settle the grievances between you and me, and don't harm these innocent children."

"Oh? I didn't expect you to have such a compassionate and kind side. ”

After that, Jin Nolan threw a shriveled corpse in front of them, Fang Fan and the others immediately stepped forward to take a look, because it had been shriveled for too long, it was impossible to recognize its appearance, Fang Fan asked.

"What is this?"

"He's the Chaikin you've been looking for. How? Unrecognizable? ”

Several people looked at each other, and Fang Fan said.

"How did he end up like this?"

"No fuss, I just absorbed some of his yang energy."

With that, Jin Nolan threw out another corpse and said.

"This one is for you too, the ghost eye you've been looking for."

"So you caught him."

"I only arrested him for the "Medusa Gaze" that could seal the soul, but unfortunately the painting was useless after his death. It's on the wall behind you (shēn), so take it with you if you want. ”

A few people turned (shēn) to take a look, and found that there was indeed something on the wall that was covered with a white cloth, Zhang Ze stepped forward and tore off the white cloth, and behind the white cloth was the original copy of "Medusa's Gaze". Jin Nolan continued.

"Now that you have what you want, take them and leave here, but you can't go through the Void Path."

At this time, Zhang Ze turned on the power of the green snake, and a white aura surrounded him (shēn), Zhang Ze blocked in front of the Xuzi Dao (shēn) and said.

"Although I don't know about the grievances between you, but Xuzidao is kind to us, and I won't ignore him like this."

Jin Nolan looked at Zhang Ze and said.

"I didn't expect you to have such a loyal dog."

Xuzi Dao pushed Zhang Ze aside and said.

"He has nothing to do with me."

After that, Xuzi Dao suddenly burst out with a burst of (yīn) qi, and then shook Fang Fan and them out, and after the three of them were shocked out, the door was also tightly closed, and at this time, only Xuzi Dao and Jin Nolan were left in the room.

"Nolan, I was sorry for you at the beginning, I was suspicious. If I hadn't been greedy for a few more drinks before the banquet, I wouldn't have caused you to kill (shēn). ”

Xuzidao's words re-awakened Jin Nolan's thoughts, and the past suddenly came to her mind all at once, her throat suddenly tightened, although she could still feel her sadness, she couldn't cry anymore, and the only thing she could express now was anger. Jin Nolan roared, and suddenly all the unjust souls and wild ghosts kneeling next to him rushed towards Xuzidao, although Xuzidao felt guilty, he didn't intend to die in this way.

Suddenly, Xuzi Dao summoned a black void in the air, and then all those unjust ghosts were sucked in. Then he said.

"You know it's useless to me."

"Yes, you will always be invincible. You are the hollow of the world, the hollow that devours everything. Big enough to swallow everything, but not enough to swallow the trust in me. Do you know what is the thing that has been most incapable of me? ”

Xuzi Dao's eyes were suddenly full of questions, and he looked at Jin Nolan longingly.

"It's your suspicion of me, your distrust of me. It's really hard for me to imagine that those words came out of your mouth, that I had been so (ài) you..."

"I'm still with you, I can help you get over."

"Excessive? Let me fall into the six reincarnations of bitterness again? Stop claiming to be kind, your mercy is not worthy of my scars. ”

"Then you come with me, even if you are like this, we can be together."

"Why didn't you think that at the beginning?"

"But you insist on going your own way, you know the final result."

"Of course I know that I'd rather be scattered into dust in your hollow than look at your hypocritical face at your (shēn)."

Xuzi Dao sighed and said.

"Okay. Case. Then you do it, I just don't fight back. ”

After that, Xuzi Dao meditated on the spot, and after glancing at Jin Nolan, he closed his eyes tightly. Looking at the appearance of Xuzi Dao at this time, a trace of sadness slipped through Jin Nolan's eyes. Although this hatred has been like a mandala flower since the night she hanged herself, experiencing countless withering and blooming. Each time it blooms, the color becomes more vivid (yòu) people, and Nolan's hatred is also deepened, and the hatred lasts for as long as it lasts, and there is no hatred where it comes from.

After a howl like a howling wind, Jin Nolan threw herself at him as she had met Xuzidao among the flowers, when the hem of her skirt was scented with pollen, and the wind in front of her held up her innocence and kindness. At this time, Jin Nolan's eyes were full of thick killing intent and bottomless resentment, and suddenly a swirling black void appeared on the top of Xuzi Dao's head.

Jin Nolan crashed into Xuzi Dao's arms as she did at the beginning, she didn't pour out the hatred of eternity on him, she put away her murderous energy and resentment, and she whispered in his ear.

Dao. We will not have any future lives. ”

Xuzidao slowly opened his eyes, and saw that at this time, Jin Nolan's eyes were the same as they were at the beginning, like a budding mandala flower. Jin Nolan raised his hand and stroked Xuzidao's face and said.

Dao. I'm fed up with memories, and I'm powerless to fight them. ”

Xuzi Dao seemed to understand something, and suddenly took Jin Nolan in his arms and said.

"That's why you're stupid enough to provoke it and extricate yourself in this way..."

"Say no more, may I still remember the feeling in your arms."

With that, Jin Nolan was sucked into the black hollow and turned into clouds of dust in an instant. The dust drifted like snowflakes in front of Xuzidao, and it was not until finally that he realized that Nolan was true to him. But hatred is not false, but she can't hate it in front of Xuzi Dao, and in the end there is no other way than to accept this kind of fate.

Xuzi Dao was now slumped to the ground like a puddle of mud, and his hand twitched slightly. Suddenly, he threw his head up and roared, and the black void that had just appeared just now reappeared. At this time, Fang Fan and the others outside the haunted house watched the entire haunted house being peeled off layer by layer like an onion, and then sucked into the void one after another.

Fang Fan and the others looked at each other, not knowing what to do. The haunted house had been stripped of and there was not much left, and when all the wreckage of the haunted house was sucked into the hollow, they saw the void road sitting there in a haunted spirit.
