Chapter 535: Shadow of Memory (I)
The water is gentle, but standing in this aqua blue space, I feel like the deep sea when I am bathing, and the feeling of suffocation makes my heart and lungs ache faintly.
Is it because this layer of seals carries too much pain from the original owner's "Mu Shi"?
Mu Shi found that for some reason, she couldn't get out of this seal.
Returning to the boundary between fire and water again, Mu Shi paused to ponder for a moment, slowly closing his eyes and quietly feeling the memory of this dire situation.
Before I knew it, Mu Shi's cheeks were already wet.
Looking at all the memories one by one, no matter how hard-hearted she is, she can't help but feel pity. She is not "Mu Shi", but she is Mu Shi.
"Those who bullied you have been duly punished, and my father understands that he was wrong, and he still loves you in his heart......" Mu Shi suddenly opened his eyes, looked at these shadows of memories like marquees, and spoke softly, chattering as if chattering.
"Mother has never abandoned you, she has too much helplessness."
"Over the years, you have traveled to the mainland, experienced a lot of adventures, met a lot of interesting people, and of course, there are enemies, all of whom have been saved by you."
"By the way, he was also accepted as an apprentice by the No. 1 Alchemist in the mainland, he is a weird and sloppy old man, but he likes you very much and treats you like a granddaughter."
As Mu Shi muttered to himself, these shadows gradually distorted, as if an invisible hand was kneading. The mottled and chaotic shadow slowly crumpled into a human form. Mu Shi did not panic at the slightest about the abnormality in front of him, and his tone became more and more gentle.
"Now you are almost twenty years old, you have a lot of friends, and you have people who will be with you for a lifetime, and the people you love also love you, and you are very happy."
The shadows of those memories blended together and turned into a delicate girl, but the color of her whole body was mottled, carrying all the memories. When she was about twelve or thirteen years old, she stood in front of Mu Shi, staring at Mu Shi quietly with a pair of clear and simple eyes.
Face to face like this, like a pair of sisters.
At the beginning of the rebirth, Beiye had spoken, and the Ninefold Seal recognized the change in Mu's soul and would respond accordingly. It was only when Mu Shi was lucky to unravel the original owner's resentment, obtained the approval of the original owner, and the soul and body were compatible, so this seal did not continue to attack Mu Shi's soul.
However, when Mu Shi's soul came to the seal and collided with the shadow of memory here, there was naturally a contradiction again. At the center of the contradiction is the shadow of the memory of the "Mu Shi" that has tormented the whole childhood. She was probably unwilling and stopped Mu Shi's footsteps.
Mu Shi looked at the shadow of memory in front of him softly, walked forward slowly, bent down and stretched out his arms to gently hug the little "Mu Shi", and gently stroked her illusory long hair.
This "Mu Shi", where the shadow of memory fused, suddenly shed gray tears. Mu Shi said softly, "Let go of your obsession, Mu Shi-"
Little "Mu Shi" raised his head, looked at his grown self, and moved his lips, as a shadow of memory, she couldn't make a sound, but Mu Shi understood what she meant, nodded lightly, and leaned over to imprint a kiss on her forehead.
"Whoa, whoa—" The sound of flowing water sounded, and the "Mu Shi" transformed by the shadow of memory spread out like quicksand, and gradually dissipated in Mu Shi's arms.
The originally chaotic space returned to calm, Mu Shi whispered "Let's go", got up and walked towards the golden space on the next floor.
This time, Mu Shi was not hindered in any way and passed through smoothly.
When I stepped in, I found that this golden space was actually sealed together, a mixture of earthy yellow and dark gold, full of a sense of heaviness and calmness.
What are these two layers?
The space in front of him was filled with mist of the same color, and when the clouds opened and the moon brightened, Mu Shi was already in a quiet small courtyard, the lights were on in the hut, and there were figures floating.
Mu Shi walked over with light steps, but easily passed through the wall, and it seemed that the situation last time would not happen again. Mu Shi settled down and walked into the bedroom.
It was Mu Jiangbei when he was young, his face was not stiff, and his expression was unique to a father's love, he sat on the edge of the bed and told stories to the children in the bed, and his tone was gentle and gentle.
Mu Shi couldn't help but be a little surprised, it turned out that Mu Jiangbei was not born with a zombie face.
The child in the futon was about three years old, only revealing a pair of big black eyes, after listening to the story, he blinked, reached out and grabbed Mu Jiangbei's arm with a hand and said in a milky voice, "Why do small animals have mothers, only I don't have mothers." They all said that my mother didn't want me anymore......." As he spoke, his expression became more and more depressed.
Mu Jiangbei gently touched the child's head, and a trace of pain flashed in his eyes, "No, your mother loves you very much, but she is very powerful, so she went out to complete something very important." When she's done, she'll be back. ”
"Really?" The child's eyes lit up instantly, "When will my mother come back!" ”
"When the time comes, I will become more powerful, and I can help my mother, and I will come back."
"Then I must work hard to cultivate!"
"Well, father believes in you."
......
The picture is changing little by little, it is all the scene of Mu Jiangbei with a handful of and urine with a big "Mu Shi", it can be seen that when the original owner Mu Shi has not shown a different stupidity from his peers, Mu Jiangbei really loves her, and should also take "Mu Shi" as a sustenance.
It's just that when "Mu Shi" couldn't awaken the power of the elements, and as he grew older, he became more and more stupid, and that love turned into resentment. resented that it was such a child who took away the life of his beloved wife, and Mu Jiangbei was under pressure as the head of the family, and used "Mu Shi" as an outlet.
But in the heart of "Mu Shi", before the age of six, Mu Jiangbei brought her father's love in her heart, and she profoundly stood with two layers of seals, probably for "Mu Shi", this is her only happy time.
Mu Shi saw that his heart was blocked, and he waved away these memories and walked towards the green space on the eighth floor.
Green is the representative of the wood element and a symbol of life, and according to the timeline, this layer should be the memory of the time when "Mu Shi" was born.
Sure enough, after stepping into this vibrant space and waiting for the fog to dissipate, Mu Shi once again came to the courtyard where he lived. However, the courtyard at this moment is not dilapidated at all, and it is quiet and elegant everywhere.
A painful and weak groan came from the room, and there were many people standing at the door, anxious, but they could not enter because of a powerful seal placed in the room.
"The head of the house, Madame won't let us in, what should we do?" An elderly woman said anxiously, "Madame's voice is so weak, I'm afraid it's a difficult birth!" ”
At this time, Mu Jiangbei is younger, and he can even be described as spirited, the chic belonging to the swordsman and the gentleness brought by the water attribute are perfectly integrated in him, and Mu Shi has been puzzled for many years "Why did his mother Shiqi fall in love with his father Mu Jiangbei" finally has an answer.
Mu Jiangbei was so anxious that he walked around, and after hearing the old woman's words, he was even more anxious to knock on the door, "Qi'er, Qi'er, can you let me in!" You really can't do it alone! Please, let me in! ”
He was answered only by a cry of weakness and effort.
Mu Shi was silent for a moment, walked through the wall and walked into the room, only to see a young beautiful woman lying on the bed, the quilt under her body was stained red with blood, her long black hair was wet with sweat, her lips were pale from collapse, her eyes looked at the top of the bed with a faint moan.
This is her biological mother.
Mu Shi couldn't help but kneel in front of the bed, condensing this beautiful and dying face, which was seven points similar to her, but more feminine.
After a moment, her loose glasses suddenly solidified, becoming firm and resolute, taking a deep breath, clutching the sheets and gritting her teeth, the blood under her body smudged again. Even though it was just a shadow of memory, Mu Shi smelled blood in a trance.
After a heart-rending cry, the baby's cry finally rang out, and she fell to the bed with a joyful knock on the door.
The outsiders didn't receive a response for a long time, and finally felt that something was wrong, so they began to bang on the door vigorously to destroy the barrier. The violent movement pulled back the woman's sluggish consciousness, and she barely managed to get up with her overdrawn body, and the first thing she did was not to cut the umbilical cord, but to check the gender of the child.
After knowing that the child was a daughter, her face turned even paler, and she was stunned for a while. It was not until the child's crying became weaker and weaker that the umbilical cord was cut off to stop the bleeding.
Holding the child covered in blood, her eyes flowed with pain and reluctance, and then colored light flowed from the center of her eyebrows, enveloping the baby's body little by little. The baby gradually quieted down in this warm colored light and gradually fell asleep.
Nine colors were brushed over the baby's body one by one, and the characteristics of the baby's original gender gradually blurred, and finally it turned into a man's appearance. couldn't help but make Mu Shi admire the seal of this expression.
After the woman cast the seal, she was already dying, and she had no choice but to put the baby on the bed, and with trembling hands caressing the child's sleepy eyes, a drop of blood and tears fell and dripped on the baby's heart.
"I'm sorry, I'm not a good mother....... "The woman's voice was suffocating, "Child, I can't grow up with you, and I don't know what your fate will be in the future....... I'm sorry......." Her blood and tears fell on the baby's body one by one, and her eyes were full of reluctance and affection.
"Mother just wants you to live like a normal person....... "Her breathing is getting heavier and heavier, and her speech is becoming more and more difficult, "what if....... If you are not a normal child, then it will at least protect you from becoming a fertility machine...... Mother...... There's only so much mom can do......"
"I'm sorry....... Without asking you if you are willing or not, you have been asked to bear so much. Her eyelids became heavier and heavier, and she slowly lay down beside the child, struggling to reach out and caress the baby's forehead, and her beautiful eyes, which were gradually losing focus, were full of tears and reluctance.
"Really....... Sorry ........"
The woman's eyes closed, and the baby seemed to sense the loss of its mother, and cried again. The owner of the barrier is dead, and naturally it is unjustly broken.
Mu Jiangbei rushed in, stared blankly at the crying baby on the bed and his lifeless wife, and hugged his wife and cried out in grief.
"Ahhhh
In the cry of grief and the cry of the baby, the picture gradually faded, leaving Mu Shi standing in place with a silent expression.
