Chapter 7: Ghosts and Immortals
The figure of the child gradually ran away, the sunlight gradually shifted, and the darkness engulfed the earth.
It was dark in the house, there was no light, there was no need to light it, the light was far away from them. The child went out to play that day and never came back, and the Lu couple searched the village for two days but did not find it.
On the third day, someone secretly told them that your baby had a dispute with the child of Liu Yuanwai's family, and was beaten to death by the servants of Liu Yuanwai's family, and the man handed over two blood-stained nails to the Lu family.
"Mother, Xiao Nan, they have iron nails, they can play horseback riding and fighting, I don't, they don't take me to play, can you let my father make me two iron nails too?"
"Mother, haven't my nails been made yet?"
"Woo... Mother, Xiao Nan said that my iron nail was stolen from Ah Xing, but I didn't have it! They didn't believe me, they spat on me, they called me a thief and everyone ignored me, why? Why don't they believe me......"
Lu Shi clutched the iron nails tightly with both hands, his body was weak on the wall, there were no tears in his eyes, the tears had dried up, there was no sadness, there was no pain, there was only darkness in his eyes, incomparably dark, like an opening in the abyss of eternal loneliness.
The child's father sat on the threshold and smoked a cigarette, and when the bag of cigarettes was finished, the man walked out of the yard, left the house, and left forever, only to be smashed the next day by the servants of Liu Yuan's foreign family.
They wanted to beat the blind Lu to death, but they were stopped and persuaded to send the person away, so only the blind Lu was left in the family.
Because he couldn't do the work in the blind field, he rented the land to his relatives, but the relatives said every year that the harvest was not good, and the rent was gone, and the Lu family still had two cows, which were bought by the Lu family when they were not married! More than 20 years have passed, and the cow is already a little old.
Now the Lu family only relies on two cows during spring ploughing, ploughing land for others to earn some rations to survive, at the beginning there were many people who borrowed cattle, and then it became fewer, but the time used by each family became much longer.
It was very early before dawn and the cow was taken away, and it was sent back very late, and for some reason, it was sent very late today.
Lu Shi came to the door again and again to listen, did not hear the cow's cry, she was very anxious but there was no way, so she went back to the house, grabbed two handfuls of rice in the jar of the house, put them in her mouth one by one to taste, the moldy ones were left to eat, and some of them were given to the cows to eat, the cows were too tired these two days, and Lu Shi could hear the footsteps of the cows walking, which was much slower than before.
"Alas..."Lu Shi sighed, the grain that those people borrowed from the cattle was getting less and less, but there were more and more moldy ones, and they didn't pick out a few good grains after tasting them for a long time.
She picked up a small handful, walked to the cowshed and sprinkled it in the trough, touched the hay in it was still a lot, she squatted down again and touched the ground, the things that were cushioned yesterday were still dry and loose, and then she was relieved.
She came to the door again and waited quietly, and I don't know how long it was before footsteps approached.
"Aunt Lu!"
"Alas, is it the third baby of the Sun family? Have you finished plowing your land? Lu asked with a smile.
"No! Aunt Lu, your cow died halfway through the ploughing, and both ends died, Uncle Hu Chun and the others finally dragged the cow home to clean up, and they were busy until now to stew the beef, and the stew was fragrant and fragrant. The child licked his lips.
Put the small half bowl of beef in Lu's hand, "Aunt Lu, Uncle Hu Chun asked me to send you a bowl too, oh, Uncle Hu Chun also said that he would convert the beef into grain and send it to you, but it will take a few days, it will be too busy to farm." ”
Lu Shi didn't know how she got back to the house, she sat quietly on the kang, there was the bowl of beef on the kang table, she suddenly got up and walked to the cowshed, touched the trough, the trough was a little small! No wonder they always fight. I touched the reins again, and the rope was a little short, and the ox always had to hold its head up when it climbed.
The dark clouds silently shrouded the stars and the moon, and Lu went to the cowshed again and again, until she was a little tired and sat quietly on the kang.
The wind rose, the doors and windows shook, the lightning flashed, the thunder seemed to roar, the bowl of beef on the table turned red, and wisps of blood seemed to overflow in the bowl.
Leaning down and digging a pit little by little, a huge lightning bolt swept through the night sky, the thunder seemed to explode in his ears, and the light shone on Lu's hands, which became dry and white, and the dark green nails were long.
The rain poured down, the wind was strong, and the broken branches and broken tiles flew into the air, and the rain fell, like the ten thousand pouring waves that fell into the world, and the village suddenly barked and the chickens and ducks fled.
But there was only silence around the Lu family, and she put the bowl of beef in the pit and buried it slowly. Absolute darkness poured out in the center of Lu's eyebrows, like that boiling blood, and the absolute darkness rushed and spread to the entire village.
The wives who are still chattering about their husbands, the children who still refuse to sleep, the people who are munching on the beef like the New Year, and the sticky black blood is flowing out of the seven orifices, but they suddenly realize that the women are still putting beef in the bowls, the children are still desperately stuffing into their mouths, and the men are still punching bare-chested.
Only Liu Yuanwai's nursing home worship seemed to be aware, he ran away, but it was useless, at this time, the radius of 100,000 li had turned into eternal night, and all the souls wailed in absolute darkness.
At this moment, this is the forbidden area of death, at this moment the heavens and the earth are crying together, how much despair a person can bear, how vast this darkness is.
Li Shuang was lying on the kang, Lu Shi sat next to him and watched him quietly, absolute darkness continued to pour into Li Shuang's body, flowing into his broken heart, and the huge and terrifying dark abyss in his heart seemed to come to life.
Countless experiences of despair from childhood came to my heart, which was born of despair, madness, cruelty, and bloodthirstiness.
The bright moonlight above flowed, calming the restlessness of the dark abyss, and the two sides were like light and darkness clashing, one side was the bitter hatred of everything in the world, and the other side was the pity for the miserable creatures and the yearning for beauty.
The light of the bright moon finally fell into the downwind, and the dark abyss in Li Shuang's heart field was connected to the Lu family, and at this time, Li Shuang and the Lu family's soul empathized, and the heart was connected, and a second dream appeared.
night
Xiao Li Shuang shrank in the corner of the house, and her parents were arguing again, because her father went to gamble again and owed money to others.
After my father came home, my mother complained a few words, and my father lost the money, and he was already depressed, so he quarreled with his mother after hearing the complaint.
The sound became louder and louder, until there was a sound of falling things, and after a while, the two fought, Xiao Li Shuang hugged his knees with both hands, his forehead was against his knees, his whole body trembled, and his face was pale.
He was scared, very, very scared, he wanted to hide himself in a hole, and after the sound of a stick breaking, his mother lay in a pool of blood.
At that time, the picture seemed to be engraved into Li Shuang's soul with a knife, so that the five-year-old child at that time, the age that should not be remembered, had a blood-stained picture.
The mother did not die, she was saved, but she changed, became often talking to herself, became often doing strange things.
After Li Shuang became an orphan, it was often said that Li Shuang was not born to her mother, or that her mother ran away with others and didn't want him, Li Shuang defended that her mother loved him very much and treated him very well, but she was sick. Those people don't listen, they just laugh.
For countless nights, his mother's injury was the most unrelieved thing in Li Shuang's heart, he hated himself, hated why he didn't protect his mother at that time, hated why he was so cowardly, and regretted why he didn't stop his mother when he got sick and left the house with a kitchen knife.
Tears rolled down the corners of Li Shuang's eyes.
"Mother, I'm sorry... I'm sorry I didn't protect you. ”
"Mother, it's Xiaoshuang who is useless, it's Xiaoshuang who is useless..."
Li Shuang muttered in her sleep, grabbed Lu Shi with both hands, got into Lu Shi's arms, hugged her desperately and said sorry again and again......
Lu Shi's face was expressionless, the skin on his face was like dry bark, the long gray-white hair that was sparse fell to his ears, his eyes were dark and dark, and his pale hands grabbed Li Shuang's head like eagle claws.
At this time, the dark abyss in Li Shuang's heart field was connected to the outside world, and the extreme darkness swept in all directions, and a ray of golden light shot into the Lu family's body from the heart of Li Shuang's eyebrows, and a ray of light was born in the extremely dark world.
Lu's hand stopped on Li Shuang's head, and a colorful glow appeared in the center of her eyebrows, although the light was small but unstoppable, a bright moon reflected her eyes, making her eyes glow.
The light spreads, the dry skin becomes ruddy, the hair grows, one by one turns black, the long silky hair seems to be gently pulled up, and a wooden hairpin is pinned between the hair.
The dark green nails disappeared little by little, and some rough but gentle hands gently rubbed Li Shuang's head and held him in his arms.
Lu Shi rested his chin on the top of Li Shuang's head, his eyes were gentle, and tears fell from the corners of his eyes.
Ghost Immortal, Lu became a Ghost Immortal, Ghost Immortal is not a path of cultivation, this is the result of the evolution of many miracles, the most important of which is that Li Shuang carries the blessing of the gods, which is the blessing of a powerful extremely good god before he disperses.
A divine blessing can help the bearer survive a calamity, or it can bring a ray of light to those around him.
The three souls and seven spirits gradually returned to Lu's body, and in the sky outside, the darkness slowly dissipated, a ray of sunlight fell on the earth, and the grass and trees sprouted and everything was renewed.
Wildflowers bloom one after another, purple and red, like colorful silk, extending into the distance.
In the sea of flowers, Dean Lu stood there with a confused expression, he received a report from Dabao that a freshman had been misreported to the eight-star difficulty world, and Dean Lu rushed over in a hurry.
If there is a danger for a student to enter the world of bounty missions, the academy will not manage it, and it will not be able to control it, but if it is caused by the academy's mistake, the academy will do everything possible to remedy it.
The strength of the Ghost King is comparable to that of a saint, and it is obviously not possible to let the academy saint come over to save a new student from the hands of the Ghost King.
So he had to be the dean of the sword immortal, but as soon as he arrived, he witnessed the birth of a ghost fairy, ghost fairy, how long has there not been a ghost fairy in the world, only there are some records of ghost immortals in the only classics.
