Chapter 116: Death is also a kind of liberation
Ji Beibei was obviously not at ease, but she couldn't help but catch up, held Mo Bai's hand, and shook her head at him, we were actually hanging high in our hearts, on the one hand, we couldn't bear it, but on the other hand, we were afraid that after letting go of Cao Jiugu, we would one day plant it in her hands.
Mo Bai withdrew his hand from Ji Beibei's hand and walked in front of Cao Jiugu in a few steps.
Cao Jiugu's chest scimitar was full of blood, and her lips were pale and terrifying, and that Emperor Scorpion Gu might have also felt the weakness of its master, and had been lying there motionless.
"Mo Bai, my son, I conceived you in October and gave birth to you, pulled you up with a handful of and urine, taught you everything I know, and raised you to be excellent today, son, mother's favorite person is you!"
"Mom is old, she can't fight anymore, she wants to retire and enjoy her old age in peace, and in the future, she will make fun of her grandson, and she will no longer participate in these things of yin and yang."
"Son, save my mother......"
Cao Jiugu kept saying, her voice was getting smaller and smaller, and she was moved by emotion and reason, Mo Bai had been standing there looking at her with no expression on her face, and no one knew what he was thinking at the moment.
Mo Bai didn't make any further moves, the most panicked was Cao Jiugu, it could be seen from her chattering words, and at first she spoke very logically, and then the more she spoke, the more chaotic she became, and she kept repeating what she had said, and she didn't know if it was caused by excessive blood loss and lack of energy, or because of panic, because of fear.
After a few minutes of this, just when Cao Jiugu's mouth was dry and getting more and more urgent, Mo Bai suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed the handle of the scimitar on her chest, and pushed it in.
The two of us gasped at the same time, but we didn't expect Mo Bai to come suddenly.
Cao Jiugu's eyes widened, looking at Mo Bai incredulously, that kind of look was so complicated that I didn't know what words to use to describe it: incomprehensible, angry, pitiful......
"You shouldn't have given birth to me." Mo Bai finally opened his mouth.
"You gave birth to me to win your father's heart, and you gave birth to me to improve your own status in his mind, your own incompetence, why should you use the lives of our brothers to fight for you?"
"You killed your eldest brother, have you ever read about flesh and blood? If I hadn't been born a cultivation embryo, my fate might not be much better than that of my eldest brother. ”
"Yes, you taught me a lot, taught me how to scheming, taught me how to set traps, taught me how to kill, how to bury the facts, taught me how to use means that ordinary people despise to get what I want, no, everything you want, you see, I have learned the essence, and I can be ruthless at this moment."
"Actually, I could have been a little more ruthless."
After Mo Bai finished speaking, he used force in his hand, and the scimitar moved forward fiercely, and even the handle of the knife was deeply inserted into Cao Jiugu's flesh and bones.
Then he pulled out the scimitar without hesitation, and a stream of blood gushed out, Cao Jiugu's eyes were cracked, her fingers were white, and she made a few ahhhhhhh
Ji Beibei buried her face in my shoulder socket, not wanting to see this bloody scene, Xu Youqing sighed and shook her head, she used to hate Cao Jiugu so much, and swore to slash this demon, but in the end, when this demon fell, she couldn't help but sigh.
Life is like this, no matter how brilliant you have been, how unbeatable, how frightening, that breath is gone, everything will disappear, and after a few decades, it will be just a piece of loess.
Mo Bai was still standing there, holding a scimitar in his hand, his eyes were staring at where Cao Jiugu was standing, Cao Jiugu had already fallen down the wall, and Mo Bai was still looking at the position at eye level with Cao Jiugu.
His heart hurts, right?
After all, it was his mother, hated, but after all, he couldn't give up that indelible family affection.
Ji Beibei walked over, first went to shake his hand, Mo Bai stood stunned, she let go of her hand and hugged him from the front.
This is the first time since I left the campus that I have seen Ji Beibei so close to Mo Bai.
Looking at her appearance, I was suddenly relieved.
Everything is worth it, my brother's sacrifice and Mo Bai's decisiveness are all the right choices.
"Since I was a child, she taught me that cutting grass does not remove roots, the spring breeze blows and grows, once the spring grass shows its momentum, it ......can't cover it," Mo Bai muttered, this was for us, but I understood, more to himself.
He was feeling guilty, he was reluctant to Cao Jiugu, but intellectually he knew that he had to do that.
Cao Jiugu is over seventy years old, she has done a lot of evil, she is full of evil, and she is dying after being tortured by Hei Laosan, if she wants to live, she has to rely on the living Gu, she has to sacrifice others, she wants to live forever, there will always be innocent people killed by her, in a sense, Mo Bai killed her, but saved more people.
"You did the right thing, Mo Bai, you were right, you don't want to do this." Ji Beibei raised her little face to comfort him, "She is already at the end of her rope, in order to get the Living Gu, she did not hesitate to kill her own flesh and blood, but the Living Gu is gone, she is destined to not survive, this is not to blame you." ”
"I know, I'm right, I'm fine, really." Mo Bai muttered.
He needed time to relieve, to heal.
"Look!"
Ji Beibei suddenly pointed to Mo Bai's shoulder and said, "Look! ”
We looked in the direction of her finger and saw that the Emperor Scorpion Gu had quietly climbed onto Mo Bai's shoulder at some point, and remained motionless.
"It's trying to take it in, right?" Xu Youqing said.
It should be.
The Emperor Scorpion Gu can only be inherited, not transferred, that is to say, Cao Jiugu's Emperor Scorpion Gu must be taken over by her descendants, Cao Jiugu is dead, if Mo Bai does not take in this Emperor Scorpion Gu, it will soon face death.
Mo Bai has always used a spider Gu, I have seen it, it is a big spider with a black face and red belly, and it is very flexible.
But that is not the spider Gu that the descendants of the Five Poisons Sect Spider Gu should have, the main one should be the one used by the third black elder.
As soon as Cao Jiugu died, the scorpion Gu vein was broken, and now if it is inherited by Mo Bai, it will be a good thing.
"Mo Bai, you can take it in." Ji Beibei said.
Before Mo Bai could say anything, a small thing in the horizontal spur rushed over, and suddenly picked up the emperor scorpion Gu, and everyone's eyes were all around, and they saw Dudu holding the lower half of the imperial scorpion's tail thorn, fluttering his wings, flying away, and slamming it to the ground, and then flew over to pick it up, and then fell again......
We were stunned by her movements, and we forgot to stop it for a while, because of the death of Cao Jiugu, the Emperor Scorpion Gu suddenly became a homeless orphan, and faced the Golden Silkworm Gu again, and was completely cowardly.
It was thrown again and again, at first it struggled, then it couldn't move, and let Dudu fall.
But after Dudu fell a few times, she suddenly pressed on the body of the Emperor Scorpion Gu, and I could understand the action at a glance, she wanted to eat the Emperor Scorpion Gu.
I hurriedly rushed over to stop her: "Dudu, haven't you eaten yet?" You can't eat the Emperor Scorpion Gu. ”
The thief shouted at me twice, as if in protest, and the emperor scorpion curled up there like a bag, not daring to resist at all.
"Dudu, it's useful for me to keep it, don't spoil my business." I said with a straight face.
Dudu reluctantly moved away from the Emperor Scorpion Gu's body, Mo Bai squatted down, bit his finger, and stretched out his bloody fingers to the Emperor Scorpion Gu: "Come on, drink my blood, let's make a contract." ”
Emperor Scorpion Gu immediately crawled over, bit Mo Bai's finger and sucked it hard, what was reading in Mo Bai's mouth, and when Emperor Scorpion Gu drank enough blood, he then drew a talisman on his back with his bloody fingers, although the rune was simple, but it was done in one go, it should be the contract between him and Emperor Scorpion Gu, right?
"Alright, let's get out of here, there could be danger at any time." Xu Youqing reminded.
I was stunned for a moment, and then realized a problem that we had ignored, I pulled out my legs and ran outside, passed three screens, and didn't see the black third child, and then turned back and asked Xu Youqing: "When you came just now, did you see anyone?" ”
"Nope." Xu Youqing was puzzled, "I got information that Cao Jiugu was locked up here, I wasn't too familiar with this area, so I went to find Ji Beibei to come over, when we came in, the door was wide open, and there was no figure up and down, and then I heard the sound of a fight here, and rushed up directly." ”
"yes, we didn't see anyone when we came in." Ji Beibei also said.
I furrowed my brow: "What's going on?" ”
"What's ......," Xu Youqing wondered, "Isn't this just a place of detention?" ”
"Don't talk so much about it, let's go down the mountain." I stood up as I spoke, pulled Xu Youqing and Ji Beibei, and said to Mo Bai, "Brother, let's go." ”
Mo Bai stood up, glanced back at Cao Jiugu lying in a pool of blood and said, "You go first, I'll follow immediately." ”
"Brother, let's go, she...... Someone will clean it up. "I don't believe that Hei Laosan can really throw Cao Jiugu's corpse here and ignore it.
Mo Bai shook his head: "You go to the mouth of the winding mountain road outside the woods first and wait for me, I'll be fast." ”
Mo Bai wants to bury the grass Jiugu with his own hands, right? He wanted to give her the last decency.
"I'll be with you." Ji Beibei said.
Mo Bai shook his head: "Don't use one, go." ”
I can only pull Ji Beibei and Xu Youqing out, and Mo Bai will go to carry the grass Jiugu.
But as soon as we walked downstairs, we saw two people standing at the gate of the courtyard, one Hei Lao San and one Black Flame.
"I said how could he leave." The moment I saw Hei Laosan, I knew that all of us were in his calculations.
Hei Laosan slowly raised his right hand and waved it slightly, and then, the barbed wire fence of the entire courtyard wall automatically rose up, and covered it in a closed shape, like a big pot lid, trapping all of us inside.
Those barbed wires are all electrified, with our physical bodies, we can't resist high voltage, and who knows how many black thugs are hiding in and around this entire sanatorium?
He had already calculated from the beginning, and whoever survived today would end up like this - imprisoned by him.
Black Flame walked over and stretched out his hand to take the grass Jiugu on Mo Bai's hand: "Little young master, miss, the sect leader has wronged you by letting you stay here for a few days." ”
"What does he mean?" I couldn't help but ask.
Black Flame shook his head: "The sect leader's intentions are not something that we subordinates can speculate at will, but I understand one thing, just listen to him, don't toss around, and you'll be fine." ”
"He doesn't have the right to put us under house arrest like this and let us out." Xu Youqing said loudly, "When I came, the Wu family knew about it, and if I didn't want to make a feud with the Wu family, I immediately let us go." ”
"The sect leader said, Doctor Xu is protecting the Dharma with a blade, this matter, when the Wu family comes, it is just right to talk about it."
"Cao Jiugu is not ......" Xu Youqing wanted to deny it, but then shut up, because she stabbed Cao Jiugu three times in a row, although it was not the last straw that crushed Cao Jiugu, but it was indeed motivated to act.
Black Flame hugged Cao Jiugu and bent over us: "Please cooperate." ”
After finishing speaking, he left with Cao Jiugu in his arms, and Hei Laosan had already disappeared at the door of the sanatorium.
The four of us stood in the middle of the courtyard, stunned for a long time, fighting back and forth, but sinking deeper and deeper.
"Find a place to rest." Mo Bai said.
The second floor of the sanatorium didn't want to go up, so we all unanimously decided to stay on the first floor, and found two rooms, one for us women, and one for Mo Bai alone, and cleaned it roughly, and then someone brought lunch.
It was past lunchtime, and we were hungry, but none of us had any appetite.
Thinking back on everything that happened today, it is sad more than joyful.
"Suddenly I felt empty." Xu Youqing said, "Actually, at this time, I should go to their graves in my hometown to burn incense." ”
As soon as Cao Jiugu died, Xu Youqing's revenge was avenged, the goal she had worked hard for so many years was finally achieved, how should she live in the future, she had no direction for a while, right?
Hatred has supported her for so many years, the knot of hatred is opened, and the whole person seems to collapse.
"When there was an accident, everyone was rumored that our family had animal plague, and a fire burned my house clean, and the bones of my relatives were not allowed to be buried in the ancestral grave, and finally in a forest more than three miles away from the village, I buried their ashes in the jar."
Xu Youqing recalled this paragraph, and tears flashed in his tears: "After so many years, I have never gone back to see them once, because I don't have the face to go back, but now, I can't even remember which big tree those jars are buried underneath, and I don't even have a monument." ”
I reached out and took her hand and comforted her: "Don't do this, let him pass through the past, we have to look forward, and when the matter is over, you will definitely find them when you go back, and then move them home." ”
"Yes, I will definitely move back, I will enter the ancestral grave, and I will set up a monument." Xu Youqing withdrew her hand and covered her face with both hands, I don't know if she was crying.
She has always been a strong person, and she is easily reluctant to shed tears in front of others, but in this situation, it is understandable to cry embarrassed.
I patted her on the shoulder: "Cry out loud, we will all be with you, don't be afraid, don't hold back, just cry out." ”
"I don't cry, I'm happy." Xu Youqing said stiffly, laughing while talking, laughing and tears falling down, like beads with broken threads, no matter how you wipe them, you can't finish wiping them.
In the end, she went back to her room without eating.
I wanted to follow and comfort her, but thinking about it, it is better to let her be alone at this time, after all, there are some injuries, not a sentence or two of comfort can work, I have to let her figure it out by herself, just come out slowly.
Xu Youqing's revenge is avenged, she should be happy, but for Mo Bai, it is a hurt.
"What are you all watching me do? I'm fine. Mo Bai said.
Indeed, Xu Youqing said those words in front of Mo Bai just now, which was very uncomfortable for Mo Bai, right?
"How are you feeling?" I asked.
"Okay." Mo Bai said, gulping down the rice in the bowl, obviously not wanting to say anything more.
"Eat slowly, don't choke." Ji Beibei is now trying to take care of Mo Bai, and she has accepted Mo Bai psychologically.
Originally, we should have talked about how to escape and how to deal with Hei Laosan, but we were very depressed at that time, we didn't talk about anything at all, and we were all tired, so we were ready to go back to the room to rest after eating.
"I'll go with him." Ji Beibei pointed to Mo Bai who was back in the room and said.
"Go ahead, I'll accompany Aunt Xu too." I put vegetables in Xu Youqing's rice bowl, and then went back to the room with the rice bowl, thinking about persuading her to eat a little more.
As a result, as soon as the door was opened, I was shocked, the rice bowl fell to the ground and shattered, and the sound alarmed Mo Bai and Ji Beibei next door, and the two immediately rushed over.
Everyone is now frightened birds, and any wind and grass will strain their nerves.
"Oh my God!" Ji Beibei covered her mouth, incredulous.
Mo Bai sighed and turned to leave.
"How so? How so? Ji Beibei asked repeatedly, but did not want an answer, and repeated mechanically.
I looked at Xu Youqing lying in a pool of blood, and I couldn't tell what I felt in my heart.
Xu Youqing committed suicide by cutting her wrists, and she chose to die.
There was still a note on the table, I walked over, I didn't know what happened to me at that time, when I saw Xu Youqing in such a situation, I didn't have any waves in my heart, as if I had expected such an outcome.
The note read: They have been waiting for me over there, I have gone to reunite with them, don't read it, I am very happy, please bury me with them, thank you.
Seeing this, I couldn't help but shed tears.
Revenge, her heart is empty, her world is empty, there is no goal, there is no fighting spirit, death, for them, sometimes it is also a relief.
"Why choose to take this road of no return? She is such a good person, how many lives have she saved! It's a pity. Ji Beibei sighed.
"Everyone's values are different, and the way they choose to live is also different, and no matter what outcome she chooses, we should respect it, shouldn't we?" I asked rhetorically.
Ji Beibei nodded: "If I stand in this position, I guess I will hesitate, and I will want to end myself in this way, right?" When my mother died, I hesitated. ”
"You're different from her, but your current family is pretty good." I reminded Ji Beibei.
"Yes, it's good, especially since I have forgiven my aunts after I learned that my mother had reconciled with my father before." Ji Beibei said, "But after all, my heart is guilty, and my brother is really not a weapon, so it is difficult to be close enough." ”
"But I promise that if I can get out of here, I'll go home and talk to them." Ji Beibei Road.
In this way, it is already considered good.
……
Xu Youqing hopes that we will send her ashes back to her hometown after cremation, but first, we don't have the conditions for cremation now, and second, we don't even know where her hometown is, so we have to find a way temporarily.
The person who came to collect the dishes and chopsticks was dragged by us and asked him to pass the message to Hei Laosan, and after a while, Hei Yan came and took Xu Youqing away.
I pulled the black flame and told him that it must be a normal cremation, and that he would collect the ashes and return them to us.
Black Flame reassures me.
Looking at the moment when Xu Youqing was taken away, I felt sad.
This time has passed too depressingly, and there is more and more hopelessness, I looked at the gate, thinking back to the scene when I met Xu Youqing for the first time, how high-spirited she was at that time.
But in just a few months, I said no, it's really gone.
Life is impermanent!
"How long do you think Hei Lao San is going to lock us up?" Ji Beibei asked me suddenly.
I shook my head: "It's hard to guess what his mind is, if he's afraid of us getting into trouble, it's possible to keep us here for the rest of his life." ”
"Probably not, right? Even if anyone can ignore it, Mo Bai is still his son after all. Ji Beibei said, suddenly wilting, "Son? Look at my brain, in his eyes, my children are like weeds, unless they have use value. ”
"Yes, the use value." I got to the point and said, "Hei Lao San did have a purpose in holding the three of us, we speculated that he was going to sell me to the ferryman in order to curry favor with the ferryman and earn a future, so we may be being kept in captivity by him now, waiting for the opportunity." ”
"The ferryman needs you, does he really need me and Mobai? Why didn't even Dr. Xu let go? Ji Beibei asked.
She immediately got to the point: "yes, why?" ”
"Could it be that Dr. Xu is threatening the Wu family?" Ji Beibei suddenly thought of this.
I thought about it for a moment, and was suddenly shocked: "It's bad, we shouldn't have handed over Xu Youqing's body to Black Flame, they won't help her cremate." ”
"What do you mean?" Ji Beibei also became nervous.
"As you say, why keep us in captivity? That's because we have something he likes, and I've always focused on him currying favor with the ferryman, but ignoring his own ambitions. ”
"What ambition?"
"He doesn't want to be the ferryman's lackey obediently, he wants to gather the inheritors of the Five Poison Gu, we plus himself, the Five Poison Gu have already gathered four, and there is also a Wu family." I analyzed.
The ghost blows the lamp
