Chapter 10: Farewell
The last sentence stunned everyone, even Zhang Shuo was moved, and there was a little admiration in his heart, "Are you sure?" ”
"Sure!"
"Good!"
Zhang Shuo nodded lightly and decided to respect his choice, after all, the grievances between the two for more than 20 years needed to be resolved, so he recited a mantra to unravel the spell, and separated the palms that had been merging in vain, and everyone sitting on the ground felt the surrounding air vibrate, and Wang Yong's blood-red eyes, who were originally stranded in mid-air, flashed with a trace of imperceptible killing intent, and slowly fell in front of Li Pinghua.
Li Xiaoting's face changed drastically, her heart was about to jump out, and her whole body trembled with panic and anxiety, she was really afraid that Wang Yong would suddenly kill her father, but Xue Wenbin and Wu Jingjing, who were standing beside her, stopped her left and right, for fear that she would make some drastic moves.
Everyone's attention at the scene was focused on Li Pinghua, and naturally they didn't notice that Zhang Shuo measured his body slightly, and a yellow talisman slipped out of his sleeve without a trace, and buckled it on his fingertips...
Li Pinghua looked up at Wang Yong with a fierce look in front of him, his eyes gradually dimmed, full of guilt, pain, self-blame, remorse and many other looks, and his chest seemed to be boiling water, burning his heart and lungs.
"Growing up, except for my parents... Only you regard me as the closest person, in my heart, I have long regarded you as my own brother, I remember when I was a child, you always took me to play in the village, there was something delicious to give me to eat, I was bullied by other children in the village, you always protected me under my body for me to be beaten, I was punished by my parents when I was in trouble and knelt without food, but you also secretly brought me your own family food, at that time our two families were relatively poor, but whenever there is any good thing, you will always be the first to think of me, your care and care for me, I have always remembered it! ”.
"Later, when I grew up... We were admitted to the best high school in the city, and together we went from the countryside to the city, at that time, it was not more difficult than now, and it was difficult to enter the county seat, not to mention the city, I only went to the city twice before I was admitted in the video, I still remember when we went to the school to report, we held hands and smiled, that kind of joyful pride, that kind of joy full of hope for the future... I'll never forget ...... for the rest of my life."
"Because we came from a place, the school took care of us and placed us in a class, and lived in a dormitory, it is naturally the best for me to be with you, I still remember that you got the first place in the grade in the first exam, I am really envious and happy for you!"
Speaking of this, Wang Yong, who was originally murderous, was also a little moved, and his eyes showed a hint of reminiscence, "What's the use of talking about this now?" ”
Li Pinghua's demeanor became a little struggling, and he said astringently: "I just didn't expect that because of my relationship, I got into trouble with Xie San and Han Chunfei's two bastards, and you suffered a lot of humiliation in order to protect me..."
"They forced me to follow them, threatened me to beat me, I was scared, really... I really didn't dare to deal with them at that time, so I had to go out with them and hang around, and in those two years, I became unrecognizable to myself, and even looked down on myself, I was numb, I didn't dare to face you, I didn't want to see me degenerate like this. ”
"My studies have plummeted, and you have warned me many times not to fall like this, but many times, I can't help myself... Now that I think about it, all I blame is that I was too sloppy and unproductive......."
"All the fault was caused by me, the night you committed suicide... I could have stood up for you, but... But because I was cowardly, I didn't dare to resist, so I chose to sit silently on the side... I thought a few words would be fine at most, but I never thought that you would actually jump out of the window! ”
"That smile you gave me before you jumped... I can deeply feel that it is a kind of despair, despair that I have no love, and every time I dream back at midnight over the years, I still dream of that scene, and every time I wake up from my dream... And by the time I reacted and was about to rush over and pull you, you had already jumped... I regret it, I really regret it, why am I so cowardly? Why am I such a scumbag? Why don't you stand up and resist!? I didn't have the face to face anyone anymore, so I ran away, away from me, to a place where no one knew me, I thought I would forget, but that was just self-deception......"
Li Pinghua laughed miserably and shook his head to laugh at himself, "The next day, I packed up my things and bought tickets overnight and went to other provinces, and after I arrived, I wrote back to my parents to report my safety, and I didn't go back to school, and then my mother replied that I had been expelled, and what shocked me even more was that it turned out that my uncle and aunt were not long before you jumped off the building... It dawned on me that I was even more ashamed of myself... After wandering for a few years, I didn't return to Yunnan until I married Xiaoting's mother, and I heard that you and your uncle and aunt were buried on the mountain in the village, so every year I will ask someone to worship you for me...... When Xiaoting was five years old, I took their mother and daughter to Thailand for a tour, passing by a Buddhist temple, in the process of worshipping, a master of the temple saw me, said that my face was implied with fierceness, the yang energy was declining, the injustice was not over, and even the children would be affected, so I gave my daughter a piece of purple jade Buddha to protect herself, hoping to keep her safe, I didn't believe it at the time, until today...... Hey, after all, I can't escape the bad course of heaven, I was diagnosed with liver cancer last year, and now it's an advanced stage, and I won't be able to live in a few days, so it can be regarded as my retribution......"
"Brother Yong, I'm sorry for you, I'm really sorry... For so many years, I have been haunted by it, and every time I look back, I have never been able to forgive myself. Li Pinghua felt a cramp in his heart, wiped away his tears with his sleeve, and sighed: "Today I heard this young man say such a mysterious thing, and I am still conflicted and entangled in my heart, I am afraid of worry, and I don't want to believe that it is true, if Xiaoting didn't sneak over and send a message to tell me the specific location, I may still not dare to face you and face myself... I don't ask you to forgive me, you can take my life at any time, I just ask you to spare Xiaoting and the other children, they are all innocent. ”
After Li Pinghua finished speaking, he calmed down, and kowtowed to Wang Yong more than a dozen times, until the skin was broken and the blood flowed did not stop, Li Xiaoting had already stopped crying, covering her mouth and sobbing, and the others also looked gloomy and turned their heads away.
Although Zhang Shuo also felt a lot of emotion in his heart, he did not relax his vigilance and kept focusing on Wang Yong, but now he keenly found that Wang Yong's resentment seemed to have faded!
Wang Yong, who listened silently, still stared indifferently at Li Pinghua, who kept kowtowing, and suddenly said: "I promise you that it will no longer be difficult for these people, but you are your word, let me kill you to avenge you." ”
"Thank you." Li Pinghua stopped his movements, staggered to his feet, and a relieved smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "My wish has been fulfilled, there are no regrets, you can kill me now." As he spoke, he leaned towards Wang Yong, who was full of resentment, and stood in front of Wang Yong, making eye contact with him.
Wang Yong glanced at Li Pinghua coldly, his five fingers suddenly curled up into claws, only to hear a "whoosh", blood splashed, and the ghost hand had already pierced Li Pinghua's chest like lightning!
"Dad——!!"
Everyone was stunned by this sudden scene, Li Xiaoting screamed bitterly, desperately struggling to rush over, but was hugged by Xue Wenbin and others gritting their teeth.
The ghost hand penetrated Li Pinghua's back, blood spurted out along his chest, and despite the unimaginable pain, Li Pinghua still tried his last strength to reach out and hug Wang Yong.
"I'm sorry... Brother Yong... I'm sorry..."Li Pinghua only felt that his vision was beginning to blur, and he gasped hard: "I hope that in the next life, we can still be brothers." After saying this, I felt that the world was spinning, and I couldn't feel anything after that...
Seeing Li Pinghua slipping from Wang Yong's arms and falling to the ground, Li Xiaoting knelt on the ground and cried bitterly, Tang Mengjiao and Wu Jingjing showed pain in their eyes and lowered their heads one after another, Xue Wenbin, Dong Jie and Yang Sanshi were also unbearable, but they didn't know how to open their mouths to comfort.
Only Zhang Shuo, who had never made a move, suddenly said: "Don't cry, Li Pinghua is not dead, I don't believe you can see for yourself." ”
This sentence made everyone present stunned, including Li Xiaoting, who stopped crying, looked at Zhang Shuo blankly, and reacted for a while, and then hurriedly followed Zhang Shuo's prompts to get closer to check, and was surprised to find that Li Pinghua's heartbeat was strong, his breathing was steady, and the blood splashed out just now had disappeared out of thin air, how could there be any wounds!
Everyone looked at each other, and they all saw the shock and disbelief in each other's eyes, could it be that they were dazzled? Li Xiaoting rubbed her eyes in shock, thinking she was dreaming.
"It's an illusion!"
Zhang Shuo calmly explained that the scene just now was an illusion created by Wang Yong interfering with everyone's brainwaves.
But why would it do it?
Zhang Shuo ignored everyone's stunned expressions, but walked straight to Wang Yong's side, his eyes showed a faint look of relief and relief, raised a single palm, and said in a straight voice: "Congratulations to Uncle Wang for letting go of the shackles in his heart, returning his soul to the origin, and re-entering reincarnation." ”
Li Pinghua's words just now actually reminded Wang Yong of the bits and pieces of life with him before his death, and all kinds of harmonious and beautiful pictures resurfaced in front of his eyes, especially Li Pinghua, who died generously, was still repenting until the last moment, which touched it a lot, and at that moment, it actually thought clearly, what he was looking for was not revenge, and it was precisely because of the thought of kindness that the so-called pain and hatred in his heart seemed to have all disappeared.
And the illusion is also Wang Yong's final trial, if Li Pinghua is insincere, then it will really kill him, which is why Zhang Shuo did not make a move to stop him.
What is surprising is that Li Pinghua finally passed the trial, and even lifted the knot between himself and Wang Yong, so that the two souls were freed from each other, and a love and hatred were good.
Now Wang Yong's anger has disappeared, and he has returned to his original soul, and his appearance has become exactly the same as before his death, he is a young student wearing a gray tunic, polite and polite.
Wang Yong smiled gently, exuding a faint soft luster, two lines of clear tears slowly flowed out of his eyes, note, not blood tears, blood and tears represent the resentment and anger of ghosts, and clear tears represent rebirth and relief.
Wang Yong clasped his fists at Zhang Shuo and said, "Thanks to the help of the mage, I was able to be freed." ”
Zhang Shuo excused himself and said, "Uncle Wang is polite, this is the creation of you and Uncle Li." ”
Wang Yong smiled, noncommittal, and then turned his head and glanced at Li Xiaoting and Li Pinghua in a coma reluctantly, "Okay, I should go too." ”
"The king... Uncle, where are you going? Li Xiaoting, who calmed down, heard that Wang Yong was leaving, but she didn't react for a while, and asked in a stunned voice.
Wang Yong's eyes were full of smiles and sadness, "Go where I should go." ”
Of course, Li Xiaoting knew the meaning of this sentence, but she felt a sour nose and couldn't help crying.
"Uncle Wang, wait a minute." Zhang Shuo suddenly stretched out his hand to stop Wang Yong, who was about to leave, and took out a paper lamp folded from rice paper and shaped like a lotus flower from behind his back, "You have been dead for so many years and have not been able to reincarnate, it is not easy to go to 'over there', this is the 'soul-attracting lamp' specially prepared by me, wait a minute, you just need to follow the lamp, you can go below." After finishing speaking, Zhang Shuo threw the paper lamp forward, gathering the aura on his fingertips and a little in the air.
The paper lamp froze out of thin air, and then the whole lamp lit up, emitting a pale blue light, like a lotus flower burning with a blue flame!
"Thank you..." Wang Yong's eyes showed gratitude, and gently floated towards the paper lamp, and the paper lamp also levitated forward with its approach, and at a distance of less than ten meters, Wang Yong's soul and the lamp dissipated into a wisp of green smoke and dissipated into the night.
Xue Wenbin walked in front of Zhang Shuo and looked intently at the direction in which Wang Yong disappeared, "It's relieved." ”
"Yes..."Zhang Shuo let out a long sigh of relief and sighed: "It seems that the good nature is not covered up by hatred after all......"
Xue Wenbin heard the amazement in his words, and he was also emotionally moved in his heart, and hugged Zhang Shuo's shoulder, "Thank you, Brother Shuo." ”
Before Zhang Shuo could speak, the unconscious Li Pinghua suddenly woke up, and Li Xiaoting cried with joy, "Dad, you're awake!" ”
"Am I not dead? Hey..."Li Pinghua touched his chest blankly, and was helped up by several people before he suddenly remembered what had happened just now, and said hurriedly: "What about Brother Yong?" ”
Zhang Shuo smiled slightly and looked at the waning moon in the sky.
"He's gone......"
...........................
At half past one in the afternoon of the next day, Chuxiong Railway Station.
Due to the immediate holiday, Zhang Shuo and Yang Sanshi bought two train tickets to prepare to return to school, and Xue Wenbin, Wu Jingjing, Li Xiaoting, Tang Mengjiao, and Dong Jie insisted on sending each other when they heard the news.
For this thrilling experience, not only these five parties, but even Yang Sanshi felt that he was dreaming, and he still can't believe that all this happened in reality, it's too mysterious!
After the group sent Li Pinghua back to the hospital last night, Li Xiaoting told him in detail what happened when he was unconscious, when he heard that Wang Yong had let go of his grievances and entered the reincarnation, Li Pinghua was unusually calm, but his eyes were red and he said "I know ......", and then he leaned on the bed alone and was stunned, and never said a word again.
Zhang Shuo understood the melancholy and confusion in his heart, so he said goodbye with everyone, and after leaving the hospital, Zhang Shuo seriously told these brothers and sisters a few words before going home with Yang Sanshi.
Now that they are about to enter the station, the five of them shook hands with Zhang Shuo and said goodbye, seeing that everyone looked reluctant, Zhang Shuo was moved and funny, "What's the matter with you, don't you meet again during the winter vacation, can you be happy?" ”
After hearing this, Xue Wenbin's faces were a little better, and Zhang Shuo said: "Remember that you promised me that you will never touch those things again in the future!" ”
"Definitely!" Xue Wenbin and others solemnly promised that they had experienced so many unbelievable things in just a few days, and the shock brought to them was unprecedentedly huge, and it also made them learn to reflect on self-blame.
Everyone's eyes turned to Wu Jingjing, Wu Jingjing was stared at by the playful eyes, smiled embarrassedly, and said deflatedly: "Okay, it's really not." ”
Zhang Shuo couldn't help but smile and nodded to these people with satisfaction.
Li Xiaoting hesitated for a moment, and said timidly: "Hmm... Brother Shuo, my dad asked me to tell you that he is very grateful to you. ”
Zhang Shuo smiled: "You're welcome. ”
Li Xiaoting nodded, her eyes turned red again, and she bit her lip and said, "I... My father said that after he died, my mother and I would take his ashes back to our hometown and bury them next to Uncle Wang's grave. ”
"Yes......" Zhang Shuo saw her bow her head sadly, and didn't know how to comfort her for a while, so he had to say: "Life and death are fate, Uncle Li has lived in pain and self-blame all his life, and he is too tired, maybe, this is also a relief, huh...... Anyway, don't be too sad. ”
He never knew how to comfort girls, and a few words made the atmosphere a little embarrassing, but fortunately, the train to Kunming happened to notify the start of ticket checking, Zhang Shuo was relieved, and Yang Sanshi waved goodbye to the five people while running towards the entrance of the station, "Take care, see you later!"
Xue Wenbin and the others also waved their hands vigorously, holding back the tears that were about to fall, and said loudly: "See you later!" ”
....... On the way, Yang Sanshi was still reminiscing about this "magical trip", and at the same time asked Zhang Shuo where he learned this skill, you must know that after getting along for so long, Yang Sanshi has never seen Zhang Shuo perform Taoism, and he also knows a lot about his daily life, if there is no adventure, how can he suddenly become so awesome!
For this reason, Zhang Shuo just smiled and didn't speak, which made Yang Sanshi depressed and curious, and changed to a begging method, and in the end Zhang Shuo was so annoyed that he could only cover his head and pretend to sleep.
Yang Sanshi pursed his lips and muttered dissatisfiedly: "Stingy ghost..."
Zhang Shuo secretly snickered, didn't take what this chattering guy said to heart, pretended not to hear it, and continued to close his eyes and recuperate.
However, he thought that this incident could be happy in the end, and it was indeed considered lucky, and it would not be so easy every time in the future, and he could only seize the time and practice hard to be able to deal with a series of crises in the future.
This made Zhang Shuo, who was a little relaxed at the beginning, feel the pressure again, unconsciously opened his eyes, looked at the changing scenery outside the window, and his heart was full of nervousness and anticipation for the uncertain future...
So where did he learn this Dao technique? What kind of magical experience was it? This has to go back to three months ago......
