Chapter 66: Horcruxes
I recounted everything that happened today, and even more so why Little Pepper and Zhou Jie appeared on the rooftop.
"I don't even have any memory at all." Zhou Jie looked surprised, and her mouth opened wide to even stuff an egg.
"One more thing, I ...... Lin Li was not saved. I choked up for a long time and finally got this sentence out of my mouth.
I didn't look up to look at Zhou Jie and Little Pepper, my head was heavy as if it was hanging in the air.
"Lin Li's death is not your fault, not to mention that you have already avenged her, haven't you?" Zhou Jie wrapped her arms around me, making my cold heart gradually warm.
"But......" I choked up and couldn't speak. What's wrong with me now? I used to be so strong, but now I cry so easily. Maybe it's because I've experienced too much.
"Don't think about it, it's not your fault that Lin Li died." Zhou Jie's hands added a little more strength and hugged me tightly, and Xiao Pepper also came over and hugged the two of us: "Yes, second sister." It's not your fault, it's all Su Ze's demon. ”
Sadness is always contagious, as soon as I cried, everyone began to cry, Zhou Jie and Xiao Pepper were also carried to cry silently, recalling the bits and pieces of Lin Li's relationship with us, my heart was like a heavy stone hanging up, difficult to put down.
Everyone is pear blossom with rain, tears are more than halfway, we gradually stopped, I think there is something in the afterglow, a tilt of the head, it is Li Anyang. I was wondering in my heart, but when I thought of Tanega, it dawned on me that she was waiting for me to explain to him about Tanega.
"I'll go out for a while, and you guys will rest first." I stood up, and then motioned for Li Anyang to go out with me, Zhou Jie and the others either sensed something about us, but they didn't ask anything, we went out of the dormitory door, I grinned and covered my ribs, and the pain only became apparent after sadness.
"Well, let's go." Li Anyang threw me a yellow medicine bottle, which she had just used to deal with her bruises.
"I'm a little embarrassed by this ......, after all, Li Anyang has helped me too much."
"Take it, I'm afraid you'll have to rest for more than a month for that little injury, and it's useless to go to the hospital." Li Anyang seemed to see through me, and I didn't refuse, and silently recorded this kindness in my heart.
"Actually, that soul body ......," I bit my lip.
"Are you husband and wife?? Got married? "Li Anyang is worthy of being an orthodox Taoist.
"Yes." I replied softly, "Actually, it's not official, it's just a nominal couple." ”
"Oh? I'm afraid his current situation is not good, and the souls of the two of you will soon merge together. Li Anyang looked at me with a frown.
I looked at her in amazement, I didn't say anything, she had already guessed eight or nine.
"Actually, you don't have to be so surprised, I'm an orthodox Taoist priest anyway, and I can't see that these things are orthodox." Li Anyang's face was unwavering.
I was secretly shocked in my heart, my half-hung son and Li Anyang are not half a little different.
I raised my head and looked at Li Anyang: "That's right...... Do you know if there is any way to save ...... He? ”
I was very hesitant in my heart, after all, Li Anyang is an orthodox Taoist, and my grandmother said that orthodox Taoists hate to be entangled with demons and monsters the most.
Li Anyang frowned, but then said, "Have you really thought about it?" He is a ghost, you are a human being, yin and yang are separated, and there will be no good results. ”
I lowered my head and didn't speak. Everyone has said this, and I naturally understand that there is no good outcome between me and him.
"But I don't seem to have a reason to leave it alone." I looked up and smiled wryly.
Li Anyang didn't answer immediately, but looked at me directly, she always likes this, could it be that this is the routine of an orthodox Taoist priest? After a long time, she spoke: "There is a way, have you heard of Horcruxes?" ”
Horcruxes? What is that? My mind was full of doubts: "No. ”
"It is a vessel that can carry the soul body, and as long as the container does not destroy it, the soul will live in it forever and ever. Another way to say this is boarding. Li Anyang looked into my eyes and said.
"Wouldn't that be the result of eternal life?" I was amazed that anyone could live forever.
"But Horcruxes have certain limitations. First, it must be the vessel that chooses the soul, and second, the vessel can never be broken. Third, we must constantly absorb yang energy. When Li Anyang said the third point, he looked at me very complicated.
Yang Qi!? I was surprised in my heart, and then hesitantly asked, "Is it the breath of life of a living person?" ”
"That's right." Li Anyang still looked into my eyes with his eyes, as if he wanted to see through my secret.
I think it's very complicated, on the one hand, it is to save the seed, and on the other hand, it is to harm people, just when I was suspicious, Li Anyang suddenly asked: "Do you think there is absolute good and evil in this world?" ”
"No, I don't." I don't understand the meaning of the question, could it be that it refers to the way to save the seed of eternity?
"You don't have to worry now, there is an upper limit to the holding time of the Horcrux, which can carry it for at least several decades, but it will definitely be difficult to load after a long time, and it will only need yang energy to continue its life when the time comes." Li Anyang did not continue to ask about good and evil.
"Why are you helping me?" I was very puzzled in my heart, obviously a Taoist priest, why did she tell me this, wouldn't she prefer to see the eternal dissipation?
"There is no reason, I believe in my own feelings, if you do evil in the future, you will naturally be my enemy." Li Anyang shook his head, his eyes were full of emotion, as if he had touched something.
"Also, the school hasn't been peaceful lately, you'd better pay attention, I'm afraid this is just the beginning." Li Anyang looked at me and said seriously.
"Thank you." My heart was surging, I didn't know if it was joy or what, there was a way to save the seed forever.
Li Anyang went back to his dormitory, and I also went back to my dormitory, Horcruxes? Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sigh, this kind of anti-heaven treasure must be very difficult to find.
"What's wrong? You okay? Zhou Jie saw that I was sad, and asked me softly.
"It's okay, it's just going through these ......" I smiled and shook my head, they were all ordinary people, there was no need for them to wade into this muddy water
"Don't be reluctant, how ugly, what can you tell us, don't hold it in your heart, you don't have to think too much about it, it's not your fault." Zhou Jie continued, her words revealing her deep concern for me.
"Yes, I see." My nose was sour, and I was grateful to Zhou Jie.
In fact, no one blames me, it's just that I'm sad with myself, if I had stopped Lin Li at that time, these things wouldn't have happened, if I hadn't gone to summon spirits at that time, maybe Lin Li would have a chance to turn around.
But just like what is said in the Five Three Xuandao Gates, maybe it is really destiny!
"Yes, second sister, let's go eat ice cream at the school gate, we'll skip class today!" Pepper jumped up and down to take my hand, her eyes were red and swollen, which made me a little uncomfortable.
I picked her up: "Okay, let's go, there is no class today." ”
"Haha, let's go together, I haven't skipped class for a long time." Zhou Jie said with a smile. In the bedroom, the sound of warblers and swallows sounded, and the joyful atmosphere seemed to cover the original sadness.
After a night of tossing, everyone quickly fell asleep.
It wasn't until the afternoon that everyone woke up from their sleep.
"Let's go, sleepy bug." Zhou Jie smiled and said to me, it turned out that they had woken up early, and they didn't want to wake me up, so I sat up and touched yesterday's injury, and the pain in my body made me break out in a cold sweat.
"It's okay, or ......" the second girl's eyes were full of concern.
"It's fine." I shook my head, the small injuries couldn't worry them anymore.
After getting up, I dressed myself up a little and walked out of the dormitory. As soon as we went down, the dormitory manager stopped us: "Uh, you guys wait a minute."
"What's wrong? Aunt? Zhou Jie walked over and asked, with doubts on her face.
"That ......, I just got a notice coming, and there are many people in your dormitory...... Died in the hospital. The aunt looked unbearable, and her eyes were full of pity.
"What?! Are you serious? Zhou Jie looked at the dormitory manager with a shocked face, and she looked like she had just knew, because if she didn't do so, she would arouse the suspicion of others.
"Yes, the police have already intervened in the investigation, and they may ask the three of you for questioning, don't go far."
"Well, we know, thank you, Auntie." Zhou Jie's eyes were already red, and her voice was choked. I know that this time it was not her who acted, but it touched the sadness in her heart.
Along the way, everyone lowered their heads, not that everyone was silent, but that there was no forest, and everyone was sad.
"You don't know until now." Zhou Jie suddenly spoke, and her voice sounded dull.
"Hmm." I nodded. We already know about it, but we have to pretend that we don't know anything
I said undoubtedly: "Lin Li was sent to the hospital by me, so don't say anything at that time." ”
"But......" Pepper wanted to say something.
"Listen to me." I interrupted Pepper, I understand their desire to help, but I have my own concerns, they will only arouse the suspicion of the police, and when the time comes, they will find out about us, and these things will not see the light of day, because no one will believe them when they say it.
"Just listen to what the second child says." Zhou Jie looked at me, her eyes full of trust
"Yes." Pepper didn't say much, she believed in her sisters.
The ice cream shop is right in front of the school, and there are only a few people in the storefront, because it is cold, and the heating is turned on inside, which looks very comfortable.
"Ah, little girl, are you here?" The boss greeted us warmly, after all, we are frequent visitors here, and we are already familiar with the boss.
"Well, it's still the same." I nodded.
The boss nodded and agreed, and went back to make ice cream, I like strawberry flavor, pepper likes vanilla, Zhou Jie likes matcha, and Lin Li likes lemon flavor.
Every time I ordered these, the boss quickly came out with something, but when he got closer, he was stunned.
"Oh, you three, I'm sorry, I've carried too much." She had four cups of ice cream on the countertop and looked at us embarrassedly.
"It's okay, we're all going to do it." Zhou Jie saw the boss's predicament and said to us.
"Okay, thank you so much." The boss nodded, her face was full of joy, although she was puzzled that the three of us asked for four cups, but business is not good in winter, and it is a share of money to make one.
Lin Li, this is the last time, let's eat ice cream together.
Outside the window, the warm winter sun shines through the leaves on the street......
