146 Past and Present Lives: Many Sons and Grandchildren (3)
As Young Master Wang was thrown over, not far ahead, a woman with long hair and a black dress walked over slowly, obviously, Young Master Wang was thrown over by her, and when she got closer, I saw her appearance clearly, and I was slightly surprised.
She wore black lipstick, and her eyeshadow was heavily painted, and at first glance she was a demonic figure on the opposite side, and she clearly had a good-looking face, but she was painted with strange lines.
"Who is she?"
"One of Young Master Wang's three concubines, Zhang."
I was a little surprised, and through Chen Lanyi's eyes, I looked at the pregnant women: "I thought that all the female dependents were here, how could I expose one of Young Master Wang's concubines?" ”
"Then you have to ask, what did Young Master Wang do."
At this time, the Zhang family had already walked to the front of the formation, and was picked up by Young Master Wang, who was thrown by her to vomit blood, and held him hostage, Young Master Wang's face showed pain, but there was a meaning of begging for death in his eyes.
But Zhang obviously didn't want him to die like this, she controlled his behavior, and turned her head to glare at me angrily...... No, glared at Chen Lanyi: "Who asked you to meddle in your affairs?" ”
Chen Lan sat still, only raised his head slightly, and frowned slightly: "All this, did you do it?" ”
"What's the matter with you?" Zhang's voice was hoarse, and the air was a little concussive when he shouted, "These are all deserved by the Wang family!" ”
She snorted coldly: "Do you think these women are innocent, the men of the Wang family are ruthless, just to give birth to offspring, they carry them into the door one by one, and they don't care about it after they ask for it, and let her struggle to survive among jackals, tigers and leopards." ”
Speaking of this, she pinched Young Master Wang's shoulder blades with her fingers, implying that he was one of the so-called ruthless Wang family men, and she turned to stare at the pregnant women in the formation fiercely: "And these women, in order to compete for favor, for the sake of power and wealth, can force other women to a dead end!" You're good, you actually want to save them, do you know what they did, just her, just her......"
She pointed to one of the women who was moaning in pain, it was the woman of the second master: "She killed a maid not long ago, and because her man looked at the maid more, she beat the maid to death!" ”
She raised her head again and glared at Chen Lanyi resentfully: "Such a vicious woman, do you want to save it too?" You sorcerers, aren't you the most particular about the cycle of cause and effect, they hurt me badly, and I'll give it back to them now, this is the cycle of cause and effect, do you still want to stop me? ”
"Do you think they are vicious," Chen Lanyi was not affected by her, his expression was still calm, "What you are doing now is better than them?" What's more, these ladies are not all bad. ”
Chen Lan nodded at one of the women and said, "She has an open court, clear and handsome eyebrows, and gentle and upright facial features, I am at least sure that this woman has kindness in her heart and has not made any big mistakes."
Seeing that she was not only indifferent to what she said, but also singled out each innocent woman, she probably knew that she couldn't let Chen Lan stop it, her eyes became more and more gloomy, and she pressed Young Master Wang's hand harder and harder, Young Master Wang was forced to kneel down slowly, and the nails of Zhang's other hand became longer, black and sharp: "It seems that we have nothing to talk about." ”
She tossed and grabbed Young Master Wang again, although Young Master Wang was thin, he was also a man, and she held him high above his head, and then threw him into the formation like a pathfinder.
I don't know if it's an illusion, I seem to see the moment I threw my hand, pain flashed in Zhang's dark eyes, and the hand that threw Young Master Wang out made a move to pull him back, but I controlled it again, and finally only touched the corner of Young Master Wang's clothes.
This scene makes me feel weird, fortunately I am not in charge of the body, otherwise I would have died in such a daze, because the place where he fell was facing a hidden bamboo pole, which was sharpened, and it was not possible to wear it if it fell.
Chen Lan made a timely move, causing Young Master Wang to tilt his body and fall to the ground with a bamboo pole, but the impact of landing still made him vomit blood again, and the injury was not light.
As soon as Chen Lan had time to stuff a life-threatening pill into his mouth, he had to face the Zhang clan who also rushed into the formation after determining the location of the formation.
The long sleeves flew up, Chen Lan blocked Zhang's attack in a fluttering posture, at that moment, my consciousness seemed to have grown hands and feet and Chen Lanyi's body perfectly coincided, following her movements, I also experienced the "martial arts master", as if I had played a set of boxing techniques, and the whole muscles and bones were loosened, especially ...... Refreshing!
Forcing Zhang's back, she opened her hands suddenly, and then raised them high, and in the entire space shrouded by the magic circle, there were a lot of floating bamboo poles, each of which was mostly arm length, and the head and tail were sharpened, under the control of Chen Lanyi, they shot towards Zhang's one after another, and every time Zhang's dodged, new bamboo poles would suddenly appear behind her, and the bamboo poles that she had dodged would also turn back to find her again, Zhang's couldn't, and was forced out of the magic circle.
Her eyebrows and eyes were lowered, and with the handprints she made, the pregnant women who seemed to be in no pain began to howl again, and without Chen Lan being persecuted, there was black qi coming out of their stomachs, and the black qi that had been forced out before gathered together, and finally turned into something that looked like a human figure, but could stand up, and danced its teeth and claws in the magic circle, ignoring all the bamboo poles that flew towards it, and rushed straight at Chen Lanyi.
When Chen Lan hit it, he found that his hand had actually passed through the black shadow, but it couldn't help it, but it could deal with itself, so it could only dodge it temporarily.
"Wow," I shouted, "what the hell is this?" ”
Chen Lan snorted coldly: "It's just some ghosts, evil things are evil things, I can still be afraid of him." ”
Her hands were also sealed, and the bamboo poles floating in the air all flew to her, and then assembled a human figure by herself, which was twice the size of the black shadow, Chen Lan slapped a piece of rune paper on the back of the "bamboo man", and threw a golden paint.
The bamboo man is alive, and it is like a layer of golden light, which makes the black shadows become dim.
The black shadow instinctively feared, not like just now, it was arrogant enough to devour all the pregnant women in the array, and the resentment of self-birth, it wanted to stop, Zhang's cast the spell again, and the black shadow launched a madness, rushed over again, and hit the bamboo man who was blocking Chen Lanyi first.
Ben couldn't touch its bamboo, but this time it completely blocked it and caused a lot of damage to it, and the black shadow was bounced out and fell to the ground.
I wanted to applaud when I saw it, I didn't expect my past life to be so powerful...... What's going on with this feeling of self-pride?
"It's not over yet." Chen Lan reminded me quietly.
The black shadow writhed, and instead of "standing", it seeped into the ground and became a real shadow.
You know, the shadow can't be touched, it passes through everyone's feet, combined with the shadow cast by the pregnant woman, stirring, the other party's shadow is actually dragged away by it, the pregnant woman's eyes opened, and then fell straight down, not knowing whether she is dead or alive.
The shadow thickened a little, and it swam on to the next pregnant woman......
I was anxious: "Didn't you say that she wouldn't do anything to the pregnant woman, and when the pregnant woman died, she had to find the cauldron again, so how could she ...... now?"
"I'm not dead." Chen Lan calmly replied to me while chasing the black shadow, "It's just that two souls and six souls of the three souls and seven souls have been sucked away, and there is still one soul and one soul in the body to maintain vitality, so it's just that the effect of boiling is a little slower." ”
As she spoke, she caught up with the black shadow and rushed ahead of it, blocking it from approaching the fourth pregnant woman, the shadow just paused, and then fearlessly swam towards Chen Lanyi's feet, it now looked very much like a black snake paraded close to the ground.
It thought it could smoothly pass under Chen Lanyi's feet, the corners of Chen Lanyi's mouth were slightly hooked, one of her hands was put on a silver glove at some point, she also moved her fingers slowly and methodically, so that the gloves fit her hand more closely, and then quickly squatted, and the hand wearing silver gloves went straight to the ground, grabbing the black shadow that was still moving.
"This glove, but Brother Qiu personally made it for me, specifically to catch you like this."
As she got up, the black shadow became longer and longer, one end was grabbed by Chen Lan, and the other end was still connected to the ground, and she couldn't escape.
Chen Lan pinched it with one hand, and reached into the "body" of the black shadow with the other hand, and took out the soul of one of the pregnant women, she threw the soul to the body of the pregnant woman, and the disappeared shadow of the pregnant woman returned.
took out the souls of the other two sucked away one after another, and then returned them to their original owners.
As for the black shadow in her hand, Chen Lan bit her finger, squeezed out a drop of blood, and dripped it into the black shadow, and the blood did not fall to the ground through the black shadow, but immersed in the black shadow.
If the blood of the dead in my family is like fire, Chen Lanyi's blood is like ice, the black shadow sucked her blood, and began to "sizzle" white smoke, it was not scorched smoke, but the cold air emitted by the frozen ice.
It didn't take long for the black shadow to struggle with less and less force, and the arc became smaller and smaller, and finally it stopped moving and was frozen.
After Chen Lan put the black shadow into a small gourd, the Zhang clan outside the magic circle spurted out a large mouthful of blood, and his whole body was stripped of all his strength, and he fell to the ground.
Chen Lan stepped out of the circle and walked towards her.
"Don't come here!" Zhang stretched out his hand to block in front of him, shouting to stop Chen Lanyi from approaching, "Don't, don't come here!" ”
Chen Lan stopped and looked at her compassionately: "It's still too late for you to receive treatment now." ”
Zhang Shi shook her head, she put down her hand to prop it on the ground, the black lines on her face faded a lot, but that face became much older, her eyes were half-drooping tiredly, as if she might close at any time.
She gasped for a while before she said, "Where, where is it still too late, it's too late, it's too late from the beginning." ”
She slowly raised her head, looked past Chen Lanyi, and looked at Young Master Wang in the magic circle, the place where he fell was close to Ning Lan, this will, Chen Lanyi's control over the formation was not so strict, Ning Lan found that her hand could stretch out the beam of light that enveloped her, so she helped Young Master Wang to sit up.
Zhang Shi saw this scene, she smiled, and couldn't tell whether the smile was sarcastic or sad: "From the moment I entered the Wang family, it was wrong, I was wrong, I shouldn't fall in love with someone, I shouldn't love someone." ”
Chen Lan's pupils shrank, and when she found that something was wrong, she rushed towards Zhang's suddenly, but it was too late, and Zhang's finger holding her stomach had a poisonous needle in her mouth, which was pierced in her stomach at this time.
Her eyes were always on Young Master Wang, and after Young Master Wang finally looked at her, there was a trace of satisfaction in her eyes, and she slowly fell back, and soon stopped breathing.
At this time, the stomachs of all the pregnant women made a strange and sharp scream, and even Ning Lan fell into Young Master Wang's arms in pain, and not long after, a cloud of black qi that was very similar to the black shadow just now came out of their stomachs, and the black qi gathered together in the air, and then rushed towards the Zhang clan.
As soon as Zhang's soul appeared, it was densely packed by the large mass of black qi, and when Chen Lan saw this, she had to retreat quickly, and as soon as she retreated into the magic circle, the black mass that wrapped Zhang's soul exploded with a "bang".
The resentment does not disappear with the explosion, they turn into black rain and fall on the land.
There are no plants planted in this field, only a few small grasses that emerge, which wither instantly after encountering the black rain, and even the vibrant bamboo forest next to it has become much more sluggish after the black rain.
Chen Lanyi told me that the next step is to invite the monks to come here to recite the scriptures for a few days, and slowly purify them, and before going again, it is best not to approach anyone casually.
The pregnant women who cried out in pain slowly found that they didn't seem to be in pain anymore, and their minds became clearer, and they were no longer as confused as before, they looked at each other, all of them looked confused, and when they realized what had happened, they looked at their flat stomachs in fear.
"You're okay for the time being," Chen Lan's small volume clearly reached every woman's ears through the magic circle, "But after all, you have been parasitized by evil spirits for a while, I will give you some pure heart water, you drink it on time every day, and you will be fine after a while." ”
The women, no matter what their identities were, all knelt down towards Chen Lan.
Whoever has an evil spirit in their belly and is tortured for three months, some of them have been frightened and driven crazy before, and this will be a blessing in disguise, and their sanity will be restored, and they will know a little more than before, no matter what they think later, they will be grateful in the moment.
Chen Lan summoned the green mandarin duck who was guarding nearby and asked her to call people and send these "ladies" back.
Soon, the old man Wang who heard the news rushed over with his two sons, and after a thousand thanks, Chen Lan did not have any pride and joy, but was a little colder than when he first came, she would ask the senior monk to go over, and explain the matter of not letting people get close to this side in the recent period, and planned to go back to the guest room prepared for her to rest.
When Master Wang and his son heard that this place was soaked in resentment, they were so frightened that they didn't dare to stay here, and they all followed Chen Lan to leave.
Master Wang seemed to be frightened, Chen Lan was entangled, and gave each of them a talisman, even Young Master Wang gave one, and asked someone to send it to him, so that Master Wang and his son were all sent away.
Alone in the room, Chen Lan sat at the table, holding the table with one hand and supporting his forehead, his mood was not happy, and his frowning brows seemed to be contemplative.
I saw that she had completely forgotten about me, and hurriedly reminded her: "Knock knock, is anyone at home, can you open the door?" ”
As soon as Chen Lan came to her senses, she chuckled, and then I came out of her body and stood and shook.
Sitting down on a stool in front of her, I asked, "What are you thinking?" ”
She looked up, and we were facing each other as if we were looking in the mirror, and in the mirror she said to me, "Doesn't what happened tonight feel strange to you?" ”
"Yes, a lot."
"Tell me."
I put my hand on the table and leaned closer to her: "Just that Zhang's family, I always feel incongruous, you see what she did to Young Master Wang, as if she wanted him to die, she was ruthless, and she said that she would fall, but she didn't have much hatred in her eyes when she looked at him, and she was still very reluctant to hurt him, and also, in her eyes when she looked at Young Master Wang for the last time before she died, it seemed to ...... With a little guilt. ”
I patted the table: "Isn't this strange, even if she still loves Young Master Wang, it shouldn't be guilty, in the end, she didn't do anything to the Wang family, what was really tortured was those female dependents, even if there were a few bad ones, there must be good ones, and the bad ones could be said to be retribution, the good ones weren't very innocent, she felt guilty about the wrong people, right?" ”
"Anything else?"
"Hmm...... Also, she wants revenge so strongly, how could she repent because she died, and let her soul self-destruct with those evil spirits? It's a complete contradiction. ”
"Yes," Chen Lan lifted her eyes, we looked at each other, she raised her eyebrows and smiled, "So, we should think the same?" ”
I laughed too.
……
Early the next morning, Chen Lan looked for Ning Lan.
Ning Lan had already gotten up, except that her face was still not very good, she looked calm, sitting by the window, quietly looking at a bird perched on the treetops outside.
There are also hot white porridge and side dishes on the side, all of which are appetizing, after those things before, compared to big fish and meat, the table in front of you is more intimate. It can be seen that the people who serve her are very careful, and Young Master Wang still takes good care of her.
The favor of the master's family directly determines the status of the woman in that family.
"Wondering when it's going to fly away?" Chen Lan asked.
Ning Lan shook her head: "I'm wondering, will it be stupid enough to fly into the window." ”
"Unless there's something that attracts it, how can it fly in on its own."
"Really?" Ning Lan was stunned, her expression was a little dazed.
When Chen Lan saw this, he said, "It seems that you don't want to leave with me." ”
Ning Lan turned her head and looked at Chen Lanyi hesitantly: "Are you leaving?" ”
"The Wang family is almost settled, and the rest is not useful for me to stay here, originally, I wanted to fulfill my promise to you, take you out of the Wang family, and arrange your future life, but I see your current state, you don't seem to want to leave."
Ning Lan lowered her head: "The life you described to me, I fantasized about it, it was beautiful, but it was no longer suitable for me." After a moment's silence, she looked up again, "Here, there's what I want." ”
Chen Lanyi: "Are you sure, don't regret it?" ”
She pursed her lips and smiled as if she had seen it: "Nothing to regret. ”
"It's good that the birds are still outside, flying freely."
"Who knows, the canary must be unhappy if she is locked in a cage, at least, its owner is willing to spoil her and raise her, she doesn't have to forage for food by herself outside, she doesn't have to feel the cruelty of the outside world."
Chen Lan nodded her head to show that she understood, and she didn't say more: "Okay, then you take care." ”
"Thank you."
……
"It's all right, ma'am, you're scared to death." The maid Xiaohong helped her master change his clothes, and at the same time asked someone to fetch water for the master to freshen up, and at the same time did not forget to show her loyalty.
Aunt Yun was the other of the three concubines of Young Master Wang, she spread out on the chair for the maid to serve, touching her stomach from time to time, and then quickly moving away, eager to remove her stomach, and had to continue to carry her belly.
Three months have passed, and she is suddenly liberated, and she is still like in a dream, still fearing her stomach.
"It's really a strange thing, in two days, no, tomorrow, you will accompany me to the temple to worship the Bodhisattva."
"Yes!"
After a good cleaning, and finally no longer have to be in the same room with other women, Aunt Yun lay comfortably on the bed, but she was still a little scared in her heart, and asked the maid to guard her tonight.
This is equivalent to letting the maid not sleep all night, the maid dare not disobey, after Aunt Yun closed her eyes, she blew out the candle in the lantern, and planned to go to the outer nest for one night.
Aunt Yun was sleeping quietly, and suddenly, her eyelids sensed light, and the lights in the room turned on again?
What's going on?
She opened her eyes in confusion, lifted the bedspread, and found that the candle in the lantern on the table had really been lit again, and her maidservant had secretly come back and lit the lamp?
"Little Red? Little Red! ”
shouted twice and no one answered, Aunt Yun was so angry that she got out of bed: "This dead girl, let her keep vigil tonight, where is this vigil?" ”
She got out of bed, went outside to look, and after making sure that her maid was really not there, she shouted twice again and no one paid attention, not only Xiaohong, but also others, without even a response, she angrily went to open the door, wanting to see what a few servants who had eaten the gall of the ambitious leopard had done.
But she found that she couldn't open the door at all, the door seemed to be glued, if it was locked outside, at least she could pull out a crack in the door, which would not move at all.
"Who, who locked my door, open the door, hear no, open the door!"
She banged on the door and shouted, but after shouting for a long time, she realized that from the beginning, there was nothing but her voice, and when even she was quiet, the whole room was so silent that it was panicking.
She even felt that something was approaching behind her, and when she turned her head, there was nothing, but the candle flame in the lampshade, flickering and flickering, could be extinguished at any time...... Where does the wind come from in the lampshade?
Aunt Yun began to feel scared, everything in the corner of her eyes was like a ghost, and she scared herself enough.
She moved to the window, and after trying to open the window again to no avail, she stood there for a long time, until her body shivered and shivered with cold, and then she hurriedly ran back to the bed, not even caring about her manners, jumped directly on the bed, lifted the quilt, and when she lay down, she wrapped herself from head to tail.
