Chapter 377: Roots, See You in the Next Life
Ever since I became conscious, I've loved everything in this world.
The sky was so blue, the water was so clear, and the butterflies danced around me every day. And the animals in the woods, they all seem to like me, and they often come to my place, and sometimes they sleep next to me.
It's just that sometimes, some unfriendly animals appear. They would dig up the soil and bite off one of my rhizomes when I wasn't looking.
Every now and then, Grandma Banyan shakes the branches to drive them away. Then he looked at me all over my body and was covered with pimples that were about to come out, and taught me distressedly. "Child, don't indulge them, it's not easy for you to cultivate, it's very difficult for you to cultivate into a human form. If you are bitten like this, your cultivation will be scattered. ”
I knew Grandma Banyan was doing it for my good, but I could only stick out my tongue. Head. "yes, I know."
Grandma Banyan glared at me, "You know that you still let them bite?" If you don't smell it, how can they find it? Don't think grandma doesn't know, you just looked at the baby in her belly, and did it on purpose......"
In this forest, nothing can be hidden from the eyes of Grandma Banyan Tree. I laughed wryly, and then turned into a human form and hugged Grandma Banyan Tree. I don't know how old she is, I don't know how old she is, I just know that she's really good, she knows everything, and she's been teaching me to recognize the world since I was sensible.
She would often tell me stories, many things that I had never seen before. Every story is so wonderful, I'm fascinated by it. "Grandma Banyan Tree, is the outside world as beautiful as this starry sky?"
But as soon as I mentioned the outside world, Grandma Banyan was angry, and she told me.
The most terrifying thing at this time is human beings, once they see it, they must turn around and flee.
But...... She didn't tell me what humans looked like, or how terrible they could be.
Time in the mountains always flies, and I don't know how many years I have lived. All I know is that there is no longer a limit to how long I can transform into a human form. But Grandma Banyan Tree's body is no longer tough, and I heard the squirrel say that its roots are rotten and that it will not live long. I looked at Grandma Banyan's depleted trunk and began to panic, and tried to let her bite my rhizome to eat it, but I couldn't find where Grandma Banyan's mouth was.
Day after day, after a few more springs, summers, autumns and winters, Grandma Banyan finally couldn't survive a thunderstorm night.
She gave me the essence of life that she had condensed all her life. When I left, she was still talking to me kindly. "Good boy, remember Grandma's words, don't go out of this forest...... Wait another 100 years, and you will be able to attain enlightenment and taste eternal life......"
But...... I didn't listen to her.
But I never regretted that I walked out of the woods.
…………………………
If I had stayed in the woods, I would have attained eternal life, but I would never know how beautiful the world really was, and I would never know the golden silkworm mother-in-law.
Granny Golden Silkworm is different from Grandma Banyan Tree, her mother-in-law is very fierce in appearance, she often teaches me a lesson, and she rarely smiles at me since she rescued me from the villagers. But she, like Grandma Banyan Tree, often taught me that humans are bad!
I don't understand why I saved the grandmother's son and she did the same to me.
Every time I was confused, Granny Golden Silkworm would knock me on the head and tell me, "This is human!" Inch in, never satisfied. ”
She forbade me to associate with humans, nor allowed me to enter human villages, and vowed to teach me to be on the opposite side of humans.
It's just that......
She has been talking about things for decades, and I still haven't done it, and I have failed her.
When that fairy-like sister came into the valley, I couldn't get sick of her from the first sight. Moreover, I could feel that there was a very evil force in her body, which was endangering her. When I sit next to my mother-in-law, I will also look at her quietly.
With her, there is a little sister.
They seem to call her, Braid.
The little sister grew even more beautiful and moving, like a fairy, like the most beautiful flower in the forest. But I didn't dare to touch it, because Grandma Banyan told me that the more beautiful the flower, the more poisonous it is.
But I don't think so, and this sister doesn't make me feel dangerous at all. She was holding my hand, it was so warm, like the temperature in Grandma Banyan's arms. And she is still so strong, so painful medicine, put on her body, she has never called it. You must know that the first few times she came to beg her mother-in-law, when she applied this medicine, she would shout like killing a pig, only she would grit her teeth and insist, never saying a word of pain.
But what worries me the most is that in her days in the valley, she often carries a rattan chair to the river and looks out from afar.
The back is so lonely, so lonely, this sitting, sometimes it's an afternoon.
I couldn't help but peek at her from behind, for fear that the strong wind by the river would blow her away. I originally thought that those days would be the best days, quiet and beautiful. It's like staying in the middle of the woods, with the peace of mind of Grandma Banyan Tree.
Unexpectedly, she still found out. She had a big fight with her mother-in-law and wanted to go out, but her mother-in-law wouldn't let her. I secretly interceded for her, but my mother-in-law just hugged me and shook her head, "Gensheng, you don't understand." This is a debt of iniquity, and going out will only hurt her. ”
I really don't understand what a debt is, I don't know what love is, and I don't understand what my mother-in-law said, "Is it really good if you love to the point of falling into the devil." I don't understand any of this, but I understand that my sister is very uncomfortable now, and the pain of the soul eater is like a cone.
I didn't want her to hurt so much, so I broke my promise to my mother-in-law and secretly tore my own rhizome and put it in her medicinal bath. But when she found out, I was so scared that I remembered the last time I tore my own rhizome to save people, but I was taken to the village by the old grandmother, and I was almost beaten to death to sell it for money. I was afraid that she would do the same, but I didn't expect her to look at me differently.
So warm, so kind. It's like a warm spring that warms my heart.
I've never seen Grandma Banyan transform into a human, so naturally I won't see her eyes...... But I think it should be my sister's way.
Warm as spring.
And the temperature in her arms is as beautiful as she imagined, and she also said that she would be my godmother. No one knows how excited I was at that moment. It's like a person who has stolen candy, carefully collecting this warmth, excited but afraid that others will know.
Later, she left, and I accompanied the golden silkworm back to the forest. My mother-in-law said that when she went out this time, she would go through a lot of hardships and threaten her life, and I was very worried about her, and I was even more afraid that she would be like Grandma Banyan Shu. I often look at the outside world and pray under the moon every day, hoping that God will keep her safe.
Mother-in-law's catastrophe came so quickly and so suddenly. I didn't have the slightest preparation, but I saw my mother-in-law's body being struck by lightning and falling to the ground dying. I was so scared that I wanted to walk over, but my mother-in-law wouldn't let me go in.
She said, "Gensheng, my mother-in-law's life is over, and she is already a dying person, so there is no need to bother you anymore." You're a good boy, and when your mother-in-law leaves, you'll go to your godmother. She is pure and kind by nature, and if you follow her, she will not treat you badly. ”
She didn't even have the strength to speak, her voice was so small. I cried and shook my head, "But I don't want my mother-in-law to go......"
She smiled, "Silly boy, fate is determined by heaven." If Heaven wants to take my life, how can you and I stop it? ”
I didn't follow, I tried my best to hit the talisman array, trying to get my mother-in-law out and not let the thunder go down again. But the rune array was so hard that I hit my head and bled out, and I couldn't get in. The mother-in-law looked at it and couldn't help but redden, "Idiot! Before my mother-in-law died, I was able to get your friendship, which was also a gift from God, and I died without regrets! But before leaving, my mother-in-law has another sentence, you need to remember it clearly. ”
"You were born simple, with a good nature, your mother-in-law knows that you will save people from fire and water, but it is not easy for you to practice, and you have accumulated good for thousands of years in exchange for this vitality, you always have to think about yourself! Promised my mother-in-law that no matter who she saved, she would not exchange her life for it, but she could remember it and repeat it to me. ”
I sobbed and repeated it word for word, and my mother-in-law was satisfied. She sighed, her eyes full of nostalgia. "Hey! I wanted to last a little longer and get through that day. But this is a catastrophe...... But he didn't give me a chance, maybe it was arranged by God! Roots, roots...... In the future, my mother-in-law will no longer be able to protect you, I only hope that the good virtues you have accumulated can bless you with a safe life. ”
The mother-in-law's voice gradually faded away...... Before the next thunderbolt struck, there was no sound at all. I cried so darkly, but I couldn't even get into this talisman array.
My mother-in-law didn't say it, but I knew that this rune array ...... Actually, I was the only one who was trapped. She was just afraid that I would break in and let the aura of the Heavenly Tribulation stain me, causing my Heavenly Tribulation to advance early. So she would rather die and be devoured by wild wolves than give me a chance to touch her.
It wasn't until three days later, when the Heavenly Tribulation Qi Dissipated, that I was able to break out of the rune array. But my mother-in-law's body ...... But only fur and bones were gnawed by the wolf. I hugged my mother-in-law's body and cried for a long time. My mother-in-law is my second relative, and although she never smiles at me, I know that she is very kind to me!
Even if it is fierce to me, it is for my own good, for fear that I will be deceived by others again.
But......
Mother-in-law I'm sorry...... I'm not a good boy!
You don't ask me much, but I don't do anything! She told me not to have contact with humans, but I still couldn't control it and fell in love with my godmother. She told me to stop ripping off the rhizome to save people, but I didn't. Even the last one, her last wish......
I still haven't been able to make it!
It's not that I don't want to, but ...... Mother-in-law, you don't know, when I saw my godmother holding her cold brother with such a dazed expression, I couldn't help but feel heartache. And when I saw that my godmother had tears in her eyes, but she didn't dry them down, for fear that the tears would blur my eyes and I couldn't see my brother in my arms clearly, I was very uncomfortable.
My brother is so young, but he has to suffer such a sin.
There was hardly a good place on his body, so many pustules and so much blood......
Mother-in-law, I don't know, how much it hurts? But my younger brother couldn't hold back and didn't cry, I knew that he must be afraid that he would cry, and his godmother would not be able to cry. Mother-in-law, I'm sorry, Nebu is a bad boy who didn't even keep your last wishes...... If you get angry, Gensheng will come underground with you and let you get angry.
Mother-in-law, you always say that I don't understand how ugly human nature is, and always remind me that people are insatiable. However, you don't know, godmother is not such a person. When she knew that I was trading my life for my life, she hugged me uncomfortably, saying that I was also her child, and that I had the same status as my brother in her heart.
Mother-in-law, you don't know how happy I was when she said this! But...... I lied to her too......
With the faceless ghost and Uncle Hongkui, he acted in a play. On the day when his godmother left, he secretly exchanged his life for his younger brother. Mother-in-law, you always say that Gensheng has a very good fortune in this life, and he will definitely be able to attain eternal life in the future. But...... If in my eternal years, there is no godmother, no brother, no you, how boring it is, how hard it is!
Moreover, if my fortune is really thick, then why can't I protect you and my godmother?
I can feel ...... Life is fading, but I don't regret it at all. The only sad thing is that I didn't get to see my godmother for the last time, and I couldn't hug my godmother again. But it's okay...... I have remembered the previous embrace, and the warmth has always been hidden in my heart, and I can remember it for a lifetime.
But......
Mother-in-law, are you helping me in the dark? At the last moment of my life, my godmother rushed back. The way she hugged me was like when you rescued me from the people at the entrance of the village. He was also blaming me, but his face was so kind and warm.
The moment she held back her tears and said "goodbye in the next life" to me, I kind of understood the phrase you always repeated.
Mother-in-law, you always say that the word love is the most difficult to give up.
I didn't understand it before, but now I do. You have to live with your godmother and brother for the rest of your life...... It's worth it. At this time, I only rejoice in one thing. Rejoice in your ...... Never gave up!
I didn't give up on approaching them because of human greed. And because he has been hurt, he has not denied everyone.
Time...... It seemed like a long, long time had passed.
I don't know how long I slept for long, but when I opened my eyes, I saw not hell, but the smiling faces of my godmother and brother.
My godmother looked at me with a smile, "Roots, the next life has arrived." ”
Again, my eyes were red.
Oh, yes!
See you in the next life......
And now, the afterlife has arrived, and we meet again......
Mother-in-law, you are under the Nine Springs, do you see it?
