Chapter 52: The Truth (2)

Occasionally, a few people said hello to Lechuan's parents, no matter who they talked to, Lechuan's mother always responded, Mu Ziyun carefully observed Lechuan's mother's movements when she was talking, and only once saw her side face, she was smiling, and the smile was very sweet, it didn't seem to be pretentious, if it was a forced smile, then Lechuan's mother's disguise was too impeccable.

Mu Ziyun asked Lechuan, "Is your memory absolutely the same as reality?" ”

"Yes" Lethe Chuan smiled lightly, "This lantern festival is one of the most important festivals of the human race, my father had to accompany my mother, my mother often said that this is her happiest moment, even after my father broke his brain, she always looked forward to the arrival of this day, after my father and mother got married, I couldn't come back for a long time, many times I only came back for an hour or two, only on this day, he could stay until late at night." ”

After a few moments, the scene changed again, and the horrible scene came too quickly, and everyone entered a dark room, there was no furniture in the room, the walls and floors were all black wood, and his mother was lying on the floor, her limbs outstretched, her legs bent to the right together, her head tilted to one side, and under her head was a pool of blood, her eyes were wide open, and she was dressed in the most modest white gauze.

The person who was alive just now became a cold corpse in a blink of an eye, Lechuan sank his head, even after countless years, he still couldn't bear to look at this scene, he said sadly: "This is the scene where my mother was killed, leaving no traces." ”

"What about your father? Where was he then? Huzi asked.

"He," Lethe said after a pause, "I don't know, but he came back seven days later, and brought a flower from the other side, and put it in front of his mother's spirit. ”

"Flowers on the other side!" Bell suddenly screamed, and after everyone looked at her, Bell said embarrassedly, "Haven't you heard of this kind of flower?" Can you take a look at that scene? ”

"I wasn't in front of my mother's spirit at the time, so I didn't keep that image in my memory, and my father left after sending the flowers, and I never appeared again." Lethe Chuan said sadly, "I am not a qualified head of the family, after my mother passed away and my father left, because I was not good at management, so that the family fell in the middle of the road, and it didn't take long for this courtyard to be sold, and I also began a wandering career, after leaving the human race, during the travels, the beast nature of my body gradually woke up, and after three or four years, I could become a giant beast like my father, but because I am the crystallization of beasts and people, I am fortunate to become a demon beast, and my strength is much stronger than my father's heyday." ”

"Your father is famous, such a big beast." Ge Yuan asked.

"Yes, he is called the wolf, and a storm will arise wherever it passes."

"Wind?" Mu Ziyun rolled his eyes and said, "You are his heir, and you should have inherited its control over the wind." ”

"Unfortunately, no," Lechuan said, "I am at odds with my father in some ways, I can't summon the wind, I was born with an ability, a little like thunder and lightning when it is used, but it is more powerful. ”

Huzi hesitated for a moment before he spoke: "Although it is a bit rude to say this, but you said that you want to find the murderer of your mother, you.... Really haven't thought about your own father? As much as he loves your mother, his brain is broken. ”

Lechuan sighed and said: "I don't want to doubt, this is too cruel, I can't bear it, I can feel that the murderer of my mother must be in the role in the scene, I myself judged who it was, but I thought it out, and it was not confirmed, so I have always had regrets, if you can also find the same murderer as I judged in the scene just now, then it proves that I am right, and I have no regrets." ”

"Not your father?" Everyone felt that they might have missed some details, so they asked Lethe to repeat Fang Cai's scene again.

They went to see the scene one by one, and later, even everyone was divided into different scenes, each looking for suspicions, and the different scenes were connected, like two rooms, but there were no walls and doors, just walk through.

Mu Ziyun first came to the Lantern Festival, he tried to walk in front of Lechuan's parents, but because Lechuan only remembered the appearance of looking at the two from behind, he couldn't turn in front, only this one scene, he watched it more than ten times, and also saw half of Lechuan's mother's face turned back more than ten times, that smile was very real, it really didn't look like a disguise.

Then, Mu Ziyun came to the last scene, after observing all the details, he walked out and walked back again, repeated more than ten times, and then returned to the second act, watching the beautiful boy frolicking in the river, his mother walked out of the path more than ten times, he watched it more than ten times, and then came to the third act, Lechuan's father fell from the sky, accompanied by lightning and thunder, after landing, Mu Ziyun watched Lechuan's father suddenly turn his head more than ten times, and watched Lechuan's father's bad attitude towards his wife more than ten times, but he kept an eye on it, and when he turned around and walked out, From time to time, he would suddenly turn around and look at the scene behind him.

At last, he came to the first act, the night, the moonlight, the little bridge in the courtyard, and he had many doubts in his heart, until the beautiful little Lethe River ran away from the bridge without looking back, and he breathed a sigh of relief, and a wicked smile leaked from the corner of his mouth, but instead, he sighed softly.

Half an hour later, everyone and Lechuan gathered together, Lechuan did not speak, let everyone talk about the murderer they found, it was different from what he came up with, Huzi and Du Xiaoyue pointed out a man who appeared once in all scenes, he was a servant, and the only man who appeared strangely in all the scenes, and was on Lechuan's mother's side, and the two of them deduced that this person was the most suspicious.

Lechuan didn't speak, Ge Yuan said: "It's your father, stains, in fact, there is no need to look at it, you already know in your heart that it was him, after his mother was killed, he rushed back in the first seven, and the human soul can only be preserved intact in the corpse for seven days, your father calculated the time before coming back, it's too coincidental, and.... Hey, you just want someone to point it out. ”

Lethe still didn't speak, and after a few whispers between Kite and Wangxiang, he continued, "Although this may hurt you, but.... Could it be, the murderer is your mother herself, she committed suicide, right... Is that right? ”

Suddenly there was silence and silence, and the kite noticed the strange expression of the bell, and after asking cautiously, the bell smiled bitterly, and suddenly opened his mouth, saying: "Actually.... It's your father, you're too soft-hearted, an ancient and powerful monster like you, it's impossible not to have heard of the other side of the flower, it grows in the Yellow Spring, it's not easy for the creature to come out after entering, and it's even more difficult to bring back the other side of the flower, so it's impossible for your father to pick one just after learning that his wife died, he must have put a lot of effort into those seven days, he was the killing thought when his brain was not clear, and he regretted it when he woke up, so he would disappear into the world, and no one would find it again, right? ”

"Flower ..... on the other side," Du Xiaoyue said casually, "It's easy to take it out, a soul with a flower..."

Fang Tianmu and Mu Ziyun secretly glared at Du Xiaoyue, the two of them looked at each other, and then they dispersed, and the kite urged Lechuan to say the answer in his heart, Lechuan seemed to hesitate for a long time before he spoke: "Thank you, I have no regrets, the murderer, it is indeed my father..."

"Is that good?" Mu Ziyun suddenly interrupted when he was about to say the answer, he grinned, and continued, "If you really say that, your regrets will not disappear, even if you give up the yang world and go to Huangquan, your heart will not be able to pass reincarnation." ”

"Hey, what do you mean?" Huzi wondered, everyone focused their eyes on Mu Ziyun, Lechuan raised his head, and his eyes looking at Mu Ziyun suddenly became more astringent, as if he was worried and as if he was looking forward to it.

"What do you mean? It's a real murderer, hehe, it's not a father, a servant, or a bandit beast, but.... This beautiful man in front of us. Mu Ziyun pointed at Lechuan and said.

"What!" Everyone was shocked, but Lechuan's fur tightened for a moment, and Mu Ziyun saw that he was trembling all over, and his expression was hideous for a moment, but he immediately eased up and exhaled softly, as if relieved.

At this time, Lechuan is no longer the usual smile, there are many more expressions, and he is more like a person.

Everyone was waiting for Mu Ziyun's explanation, and Mu Ziyun said: "After all these years, what you can't get over is not your father killing your mother, but your own crime of killing your mother, you resist in every possible way in your heart, and you don't want to admit this fact, so... Hmph, you changed your memories, those pictures are not all true, although you have made them perfect enough, but you have never brought others into your memories, so the first time outsiders entered, brought many immeasurable changes before, forced to prove yourself, forced to remind us of some information, you are too anxious, so many changes have gone wrong. ”

"For example?" Lethe lowered his arms and relaxed a lot.

"In the first act, the kid suddenly ran towards me, I think the reason why he ran over, not because of the eternal period, but really because I was standing there, the first time you brought someone in, but you still retain your habit of tampering with the picture at will, so inadvertently, let the kid run towards the bridge, so that we can see clearly, I have only watched each picture more than ten times, and finally watched the first act, if that is really your memory, then the different times the picture will not change, but in the first act, The kid didn't run towards me again, so I knew that what we saw was what you wanted us to see. ”

"And no matter which picture, I believe that everyone has a weird feeling, as if everything there, all the characters, seem to be rotating and changing around a specific number of characters, especially the Lantern Festival, in fact, the real picture is too different from what we have seen, from the half of your mother's face at the end, and the expressions of the human beings talking to it, I can see that the people at the Lantern Festival, the relationship with your mother cannot be said to be very good, but it is not too bad, so such a festival, Will she really go all the way with your father, obviously, it is all the result of you forcibly changing the details. ”

"You may not have noticed it yourself, in the scene of the Lantern Festival, there are at least three characters, but they appear in different places, at the same time, hehe, probably you cut out part of the picture and pasted it elsewhere, although it is very secret, but I found it, what are you hiding? What bullshit ironwood, your father's brain is not wrong at all, they are very affectionate, and it is impossible for the third act to appear, it is just that you twisted and fabricated, the purpose is to lead the sin to your father, you.... Probably resentful of my father as a beast, I didn't fulfill my father's responsibilities, and let your mother and son be alone in the world. ”

"Then how can you be sure that he killed his own mother and wasn't covering up for someone else?" Bell asked.

Mu Ziyun's eyes were slightly pitiful, he pointed to Lechuan and said: "Actually, he told us a long time ago, the answer is in these pictures, in the second act, the young man's body, the reflection in the river is a beast shadow with a bloody mouth about to eat people, and his mother happened to come from the path in front of the beast shadow, in the third act, the conversation of his parents, still remember what he said, how often does his beast father not come back, and he will not stay for more than two hours at a time, only the day of the Lantern Festival is an exception, So how could his father ask his mother for the purple jade bead in the morning? And how could his mother know that his father had a bad mouth lately? And, no matter how you look, that tone of speech is more like a mother coaxing her child. ”

Mu Ziyun looked at Lechuan meaningfully, and the kite understood something, covered his mouth, and looked at Lechuan. Lethe's eyes narrowed, the ease was gone, and there was more of a tiredness. Mu Ziyun said again: "You have been laying out for so many years, you can already do it seamlessly, the reason why there are many loopholes, and give hints, heh, your father is good at wind, you are good at thunder and lightning, but your father appeared with lightning and thunder, the hint you gave is too obvious, it's nothing more than wanting people to poke you, so that you can confess your sins in the yang world, is it you who really hurt your brain?" ”

Lechuan smiled, squinting his eyes, and the scene around everyone suddenly changed, the first scene, the little boy stubbornly rolled on the ground, jumping up and down, throwing things everywhere, the servants and maids behind him, all with pen and ink painted on their faces, they followed tiredly, shouting one after another, and the boy ran to the bridge, standing on the bridge was his mother, she was generous, doting on him to protect him behind him, beside his mother, a completely different from everyone's impression, and extremely familiar man stood with a smile, that was Lechuan's father, But his demeanor at the moment is exactly the same as Lethe in front of everyone now.

In the second act, it is not that Lechuan is playing alone, he is pinching the necks of several teenagers and pressing them into the water, his evil nature and animal nature are constantly overflowing from the body, on the path, Lethe's parents watched all this, and the father said sadly that it was his own existence that made the child's beast nature gradually awaken, and only by leaving himself could he maintain his humanity, so his father left and could only come back once after a long time. In the third act, it was Lechuan who kicked over the table, it was Lechuan who broke the purple jade beads, and it was Lechuan who shouted that the woman was a human stupid pig, and in the fourth act, the lantern festival, it was particularly lively, only to see Lechuan's mother holding her husband's arm, they talked and laughed with the people who came and went, mingling, the faces of the two were filled with countless happiness, and Lechuan walked behind, his face was very disdainful, even if someone greeted him, he ignored it.

In the last scene, it was not a dark house, but a cliff, Lechuan's mother begged Lechuan hoarsely, don't cultivate the beast ability, his humanity is about to disappear, he will become a monster in the world, and be crusaded by the creatures in the world, but Lechuan, who has grown a beast's tail, is evil, and in the riot, he pushed his mother out of the cliff, so there is that corpse, and that dark house also represents the secret that Lechuan will never see the sun in his heart, and it also symbolizes the regret and guilt that he can't be redeemed.

It turned out that the war was not Lethe's father and the ironwood beast, but Lethe and his father, they fought for seven days and seven nights, the father won, brought Lethe to the realm of the beast clan, and then ignored him, Lethe has been longing for beast nature, thirsting for power, and really came to the purgatory-like ruthless beast domain, it felt the coldness of killing intent everywhere, nine turns of life and death, he finally understood what the warmth of human nature was, one by one remembered the past, remembered his mother's embrace and spoiling, he regretted it, and fled back to the human realm after many years, and his home was gone, His father no longer knew the signs, and his mother's corpse had long been scattered somewhere, he felt even more remorseful, and he could not integrate into the human race, so he began to wander, he gradually lived into the appearance of his father, and when he was forced to do so, he had been present as a human being, and never did a bad thing, and even spread his myth in the world, he was worshiped as a guardian spirit, a guardian demon, and was praised by countless human beings, but such a "good man" could not forgive the sins he had committed when he was young, and when he died, his soul could not be redeemed, And the matter of killing his mother was not confessed to the world before his death.

Lechuan breathed a long sigh of relief, opened his eyes, and said: "My mother's name is Nai Xiaohe, she is a mortal, and my father's name is Ye Chuan, who is a big beast that likes to mingle with humans, they fell in love and gave birth to a son, my name is Nian Chuan, for the demon beast, I have been fighting against human nature and beast nature all my life, but unfortunately, during the period when I should maintain my humanity the most, I lost to my desire for power, if I can, I would rather be the most ordinary person, or the most ordinary domestic beast." Nian Chuan shed tears, but it was tears of happiness, he cried: "Scold me, spit on me, I'm not a good person, I killed my mother, I'm just an uncivilized beast, please go to the yang world and tell the living beings, what kind of thing am I, please, please!" ”

He knelt down and begged over and over again, Ge Yuan clenched his fists, grabbed his shoulder, and sighed, "Understood, I will help you." ”

"Thank you..."Nian Chuan kowtowed gratefully before standing up.

"Have you found your father?" Kite asked, and everyone understood that it was also a kind of guilt for him to live like his father.

"No, it's already reincarnated." Nian Chuan said sadly, "I entered the Yellow Spring with hatred. ”

"Your father forgave you a long time ago." Mu Ziyun said suddenly.

Nian Chuan was stunned for a moment, nodded gratefully, Mu Ziyun smiled, and said, "I'm not comforting you, I really forgive, and besides, he hasn't left, he's accompanying you." ”

"Huh?" Not only Nianchuan was stunned, but everyone was stunned.

Mu Ziyun shouted towards the scene around him: "Old man, come out, it's been so many years!" ”

"What... What? Nian Chuan said in disbelief, "Impossible, this is my memory, except for me, no one else can be here..." ”

"Hehe" Mu Ziyun said, "Because Nianchuan himself didn't realize that he couldn't control all the details of the picture at all, and it was also his own guilt and self-blame, he would ignore these, in the picture with you, I watched it more than a dozen times, and every scene will change, you father and son have a habit, they both like to change things with their mood, and every time he changes, it is to lead the murderer to you, and then to himself, and every time you change, it is for his mother, your wife, so, I found out, You've always been in his memory. ”

"Father... Father. Nian Chuan couldn't accept it for a while, he was so excited that he couldn't speak, "How... How to get back.. Something else. ”

"After I fought with you, my body and soul were damaged, and I didn't live for half a year, so I sealed my soul in your mind, and finally entered your memory, for so many years, I have been watching you, I understand... I understand..."

"Why, why didn't you tell me...."

"It is not me who can redeem you, but yourself, and I.... I just want to see your mother, even if it's just one scene, I'm willing. ”

"Sure enough," Mu Ziyun said, "The scene of turning your head at the Lantern Festival, not only Nianchuan's mother turned around, but you also turned around, and that was the result of you tampering with the picture..."

"I look at her face, even if she becomes a wooden man and a wicked person in the child's memory, as long as I can see Xiao He's little face again, I have no regrets...."Ye Chuan said happily.

"How many thousands of years..... I'm sorry.... I'm sorry! Nian Chuan collapsed in an instant, and he knelt in front of his father, "I'm sorry, father!" ”

"Don't say that... Child, your mother and I have forgiven you a long time ago, and blame me for being wrong, I shouldn't have left, if I could have been with you, you might not have become so bad, forgive your father, child..."

Ye Chuan held Nian Chuan in his arms, father and son hugged each other and wept bitterly, and their bodies began to glow, and the bell said: "The souls they want are leaving, what can we do!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the images around him began to distort, and they returned to the present world, it was still the valley, and countless yellow stars were scattered in the valley to the sky, and this valley finally became a real valley, and the wind disappeared.

"Oh...."Huzi said, "It turns out that the wind was done by Nianchuan's father, just to pull down the living beings and redeem his son, it's not easy, how many years?" ”

"Hey...," Mu Ziyun said, "Alas, I was busy working in vain, and I thought I could get any opportunities, really..."

Ge Yuan nodded Mu Ziyun's shoulder, pointed to the side again, and said, "Hey, your mouth has been opened, look at that..."

Everyone saw that there was a star in one place, it was a long object, like the handle of something, Mu Ziyun walked over, held it, and made the force outward, and the whole thing appeared, it turned out to be a slender thin knife, which was very similar to Fang Tianmu's black knife "Great Annihilation", but the degree of bending of the blade was greater.

"What is this?" Mu Ziyun slowly pulled out the knife, and there was an electric current on it, and the knife body was yellow-green like thunder and lightning-like energy, and after pulling it out, there was a thunderous sound, "Oh! This is Nianchuan's ability, right? ”

"I'll you!" Huzi laughed and said, "This is really a big treasure, the weapon of the Great Demon Beast in the ancient times!" ”

"It's said that it's a weapon, could it be that Nianchuan's own ability is incarnated?" Ge Yuan inferred.

Mu Ziyun laughed and slashed around with his treasure knife, causing a thunderclap and yellow-green electricity flashing everywhere in the valley.

Fang Tianmu had a special affection for the knife, he stretched out his hand and said coldly to Mu Ziyun: "Give it to me, I'll take a look." ”

Mu Ziyun paused for a moment and said, "Don't." Then he waved it again and shouted: "It's decided, let's call it the Demon Knife - Lightning Thunder!" ”

"What a nasty name! If you can't get up, don't get up! The girls shouted.
