Chapter 53: Prophecy Is All Lies (3)
When Li Ne got up this morning, he touched his bed as he had done in the past! The warmth and smoothness that he thought he could touch were very cold and rough today! Li Ne hurriedly opened his eyes to look, but all he saw was darkness! He opened his eyes vigorously again, and what was in front of him was still boundless darkness! Could it be that he could no longer see, and it should not be dawn now? Li Ne felt the situation around him again, and suddenly found that the place where he was lying seemed to be no longer the bed in his own home! The place where I was lying felt like a big smooth stone! The stone was very cold and rough, just like the feeling of what I had just touched!
"What's wrong with you, didn't you go to bed very early yesterday? Didn't you do that very happy thing with your eldest grandson several times yesterday? What's the situation here, where has your eldest grandson gone? It's so hard that you're still dreaming and haven't woken up yet!"
Li Ne was thinking about the situation last night, and at the same time pinched his thigh hard. The sharp pain in his leg told him clearly, "I'm awake, but where is this? What happened to me since I fell asleep yesterday?"
At this moment, a faint light could suddenly be seen in the darkness, and with the faint light, there seemed to be a fierce quarrel between several people! Li Ne slowly got up from the stone bed, and gently rubbed the muscles on his lower back, which was slightly uncomfortable because he was sleeping on the cold ground!
Li Ne stood up straight, and found that the place he was in, the space was still quite large. Looking at the little bit of light in the distance, Li Ne thought for a long time, and finally felt the inexplicable darkness around him, and felt that it was still more terrifying in the dark!
It took a long time for Li Ne to finally come to the bottom of the light, which turned out to be an oil lamp. By the light of the oil lamp, Li Ne saw a dark hole, and the sound of several people arguing could be vaguely heard in the hole! Li Ne took the oil lamp in his hand, looked at the hole, felt the size of the hole, and carefully drilled into it!
The hole was small, but half a man tall. Li Ne easily got into it! After entering, he found that it was much more spacious, and he was already able to straighten his body!
The light of the candle flame was so small that when I looked into the cave by the light of the candle, I couldn't see the end at all! But the quarrel was louder inside, and there was a faint sound of miserable shouts for help.
Li Ne gritted his teeth, lowered his heart, held the oil lamp in his hand, and walked down the steps towards the boundless darkness in the depths! At this time, if he looked back, he would see that on the inside of the cave entrance, two large blood-colored Chinese characters were written: "Huangquan!"
As he went deeper, the air became thinner, and Li Ne felt that his chest was a little stuffy, and his breathing became short. The sweat on his head slowly flowed down his sideburns, his heartbeat gradually accelerated, and the sound of footsteps became heavy! He felt that he was about to collapse! As he walked, Li Ne suddenly felt a gust of wind blow behind his head. He had just wanted to look back to see what had happened, but the oil lamp in his hand suddenly flickered and went out immediately! Li Ne's eyes fell into incomparably darkness again! Once again, he could not see anything!
Before Li Ne's exclamation could be uttered, he was pushed up by a tremendous force! In his exclamation, Li Ne felt as if he had fallen to a flat ground! He didn't pay any attention to the sharp pain coming from his body, and immediately curled up his body, and then his eyes widened vigorously, as if he wanted to quickly discover something from the darkness!
Suddenly, a dazzling light appeared in front of Li Ne's eyes, and the cave seemed to suddenly turn into daylight. As soon as Li Ne's eyes were illuminated by the blinding light, he was like a blind man who could not see for a long time! It took a long time for Li Ne to gradually regain his sight. He looked left and right and saw that he seemed to be curled up under a bed!
When he looked up, he saw a pair of eyes, eyes that he himself would never forget, and they were his mother's eyes! Those eyes were silently looking at him, as if to say to him, "Son, don't move, don't hide, your mother will always protect you!"
Seeing those eyes lose their luster little by little, tears slowly flowed down from Li Ne's eyes! He wanted to rush out, to question the man who strangled his mother, why was this? But he didn't dare, because he knew that it was his father! He was in great pain, and he slammed his head on the ground with all his might, making a "thump" sound. After a while, he knocked himself covered in blood and fainted!
When he opened his eyes again, he found himself kneeling on the floor of a hall that looked like a yamen! When he looked up, he found that the people in the hall had two heads! One of the two heads was smiling and with warmth in his eyes, and the other was with green fangs and mighty eyes!
The vicious head seemed to have noticed that Li Ne was awake. I saw that his head suddenly stretched forward, and said viciously: "Okay, you Li Ne, since you have already woken up, why do you still crawl on the ground and pretend to be dead! Are you fake when I am the judge of good and evil in this underworld? Be careful that I will send you into those eighteen layers of hell, so that you will never be able to live beyond the dead! Don't you hurry up and answer!"
Li Ne said in disbelief: "You are the judge of the prefecture, am I already dead?"
I saw the smiling face shake his head slightly, and said slowly: "Li Ne boy, don't be afraid, your yang life is not over, you still have many years to live! This is the Yama Treasure Hall in the underworld, just because your father has reached the end of his yang life, because he has a murder case, because it is related to you, so we sent a ghost envoy to detain you for questioning, don't be afraid!"
"What, my father is almost dead, when did it happen!"
"Three o'clock last night! He is dead at the end of his life!"
Li Ne looked at the smiling judge holding a book in his hand and looked it up, and said to himself. Li Ne lowered his head and asked in a low voice: "I don't know what is about my father, my father has been kind to people all his life, and he has never been difficult with others, so why do you want to hurt people's lives!"
The evil-faced judge looked at him, sneered, and said gloomily, "Don't you really know? What did you just see? Didn't you see your mother? Didn't you see who strangled your mother? Who was that person? Don't you know? Hurry up and tell me, who is he?"
Li Ne lowered his head again, and said in a sneering voice: "I don't know, I don't know that person, I didn't see anything at that time!"
"Do you know that lying to me is to hell of tongue-plucking? If you don't tell the truth again, when you die, I will send you to the hardest hell, and then you will know what real endless suffering is!
After listening to the evil-faced judge, Li Ne said with affirmation again: "I didn't see anything at the time, I don't know what you said, I can't say bad things about my own father!"
"What is your father, who has really treated you as a son for so many years?"
"No matter what he does to me, he is my father and I can't speak ill of him!"
"You don't know what to do, I talk to you well, you dare to contradict me like this?
"I'm not going to contradict you, I really didn't see anything! If I push 10,000 steps, even if I saw my father strangling my mother to death with his own hands, I believe that my father must have missed it, or because my father had some unknown suffering! I believe in my father! I will never speak ill of my father! My parents love each other so much, I will never believe that my father will kill my mother!"
The smiling judge looked at Li Ne and showed sympathy: "Li Ne, boy, I believe what you say! Your mother's death has little to do with your father! You won't blame your father for this! In fact, your father's yang life has not been exhausted, and he still has hope of returning his yang!"
When Li Ne heard this, he said with some hesitation: "What? Can you say it again? I didn't hear it clearly!"
"Your father's life is not over, he still has many years to live!"
Li Ne was overjoyed and said with a smile: "It's great! It's great that my father is still alive!"
"Your father has absorbed too much essence blood from the monsters in his family, which has caused too much essence and blood in his body to be missing, and he still needs your help for rebirth!"
After listening to what the smiling judge said, Li Ne asked: "I am willing to do whatever I need to do, as long as I can do it! I live in this world, and the happiest thing in my life is the time when our family lived together in hardship! I love my father, and I am willing to do anything for him!"
I saw the evil-faced judge take something out of his body and throw it on the ground. As it fell, it slowly grew in size, and when it finally landed, it became almost the size of a human being! The evil-faced judge pointed at the thing and said, "This thing is a scale, if the weight on both sides is equal, the tray will remain balanced, and I need your flesh and blood here in exchange for your father's rebirth!"
With that, a huge rock landed on the tray on the left, and the ground seemed to shake.
"I only need such a weight of your flesh and blood for your father to be born again, do you want!"
After finishing speaking, a sharp knife was thrown at Li Ne's feet by the evil-faced judge, and then said coldly: "You can start, I hope you can hurry up, I have other things to do today!"
Li Ne picked up the sharp knife on the ground, slowly got up from the ground, walked to the side of the scale, and came to the position of the tray on the right. Li Ne shouted into the sky above the dark lobby: "Father, the child is not filial, and he has not been by your side all these years. Today, the child will repay his father with my flesh and blood for his nurturing kindness!"
With that, Li Ne cut off a piece of meat from his leg with a sharp knife and placed it on top of the tray on the right! A lot of blood flowed out of Li Ne's legs, and the blood flowed quickly down his thighs to the ground, and the red blood seeped into the ground, making the ground start to become muddy!
Li Ne looked at the blood on the ground, seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then slashed down on his body with another knife!
The smiling judge sitting in the hall seemed to have tears in his eyes, and his hands trembled! I saw that there seemed to be a golden bowl on the table in front of him, and there seemed to be two drops of blood in the bowl, but now they had already synthesized one drop! Could it be that the purpose of their pretending to be ghosts was to recognize their relatives with blood? Could it be that the blood has been combined, and it has proved that they are the real father and son! Perhaps, this is the real reason why Li Ne has been cold all these years!
