Chapter 13: Termination of the Blood Pact
In the empty room, Hu Shouyu and his wife disappeared with a wave of spatial fluctuations, and then they were replaced by two middle-aged men in black suits, and a little boy with a blank face behind them, who were looking at a few people curiously.
The little boy is naturally Hu Xian, the son of Hu Shouyu and his wife, and he looks much more lively at this time than he looks like he is lying on the bed, but his figure is a little flickering, and it seems that he is about to disappear.
The two middle men who were closer didn't know why they couldn't see their faces clearly, although they were only one or two meters apart, their faces were always blurry.
"These two are messengers from the underworld, and there is a more popular saying in the human world, called black and white impermanence." It seemed that knowing Su Jianxia's doubts, Wei Ziqi quickly explained.
Su Jianxia nodded, "I thought that black and white impermanence were one black and one white." ”
"Times are changing, and there is always a uniform to be uniformed." Wei Ziqi was stunned for a moment, but still gave a plausible explanation, "Similar to within the system." ”
Su Jianxia nodded, expressing understanding, and quickly put his eyes on the little boy who was staring at him, bent down and beckoned, "Hello little friend, your name is Hu Xian, right?" ”
Hu Xian blinked, "How do you know?" ”
"Because your parents told me that." Su Jianxia squinted and smiled: "They asked my sister to pick you up and take you home." ”
"Does my sister know my mom and dad?" Hu Xian couldn't help but take a few steps forward, his eyes full of surprise.
Su Jianxia reached out and grabbed Hu Xian's hand and pulled him from the side of black and white impermanence, black and white impermanence glanced at each other, as if they wanted to say something, but after seeing Wei Ziqi's gaze looking at the two of them, he immediately closed his mouth.
"Of course my sister knows, your father's name is Hu Shouyu, and your mother's name is Cheng Lianzhi, right?"
"Yes, yes, sister, I haven't seen my parents for a long time, and these two uncles said that I will never see them again, is it true?" Hu Xian had just become excited, and suddenly frowned, and he was a little sad.
Su Jianxia rubbed Hu Xian's head, "Of course not, if you listen to your sister, your sister will take you back to your parents, okay?" ”
Hu Xian raised his head in surprise, nodded again and again, and said, "Sister, don't worry, I will definitely listen to my sister, my mother said that I am the most obedient child." ”
"Of course my sister believes in you." Su Jianxia stood up and stretched out his hand to pull Hu Xian behind him.
"Lord Ziqi, this ......" Looking at Su Jianxia's actions, Black and White Impermanence finally couldn't help but ask out loud.
"I'm going to take this child's soul away, and if things can't be resolved in a few days, you can come and take him to reincarnation." Wei Ziqi's voice was soft, but it gave the two of them an unmistakable feeling.
The two hesitated for a while, but they still said cautiously, "Lord Ziqi, you also know the rules of our underworld, after death, people should be sent to the underworld for reincarnation...... What's more, in this child's life and death book, his life ends today, which is his life. ”
"I don't say it a second time." Wei Ziqi's voice gradually became cold, "Go back and tell you that Hades, just say that I mean." ”
The two gritted their teeth, as if they wanted to say something more, when an invisible pressure suddenly hit from above, pressing the two to their knees and unable to move.
The two of them have only been in the underworld for more than a hundred years, although they have already seen the deeds of this adult in some ancient mythological biographies and historical records, but now that they have faced it in person, they have realized how terrible this adult is, and just their own coercion is almost overwhelming.
"I'm sorry, Lord Ziqi, we'll report it truthfully when we go back." After squeezing this sentence out of his mouth with difficulty, the pressure on the two of them slowly dissipated.
Black and white impermanence glanced at each other, didn't dare to look at Wei Ziqi more, bowed his head and saluted before his figure dissipated in place.
After Su Jianxia looked at the black and white impermanence and left, he patted Hu Xian's shoulder, "Can you sleep obediently first, and when you wake up, you can see your parents." ”
Hu Xian blinked, a little puzzled, "Why do you wake up to see it?" ”
"Don't care so much why, just listen to my sister, didn't you just say that you would listen to your sister?"
"I know my sister." Hu Xian nodded, "But what if I can't sleep now." ”
"It's okay, you can just close your eyes."
Su Jianxia squinted and smiled, and patted Hu Xian twice on the top of his head, Hu Xian only felt that his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, and he quickly closed his eyes and fell into Su Jianxia's arms.
Wei Ziqi waved his hand lightly, and the surrounding space fluctuated again, Hu Shouyu and his wife reappeared in place, turning around the room with a nervous face, and the little boy in Su Xia's arms also turned into an imperceptible light and returned to Hu Xian who was lying on the bed.
"Mr. Wei, Miss Su, you just ......" Seeing Wei Ziqi and Su Jianxia, who suddenly disappeared and reappeared in place, Hu Shouyu and Cheng Lianzhi were stunned in place.
Su Jianxia didn't answer the questions of the two, but pointed to Hu Xian who was lying on the bed, "Go and see, your son should have woken up." ”
Hu Shouyu and Cheng Lianzhi glanced at each other, and the two didn't have time to think about it, so they hurriedly ran to the bed, nervously looking at Hu Xian, whose face gradually turned from pale to ruddy, and his eyes widened.
It didn't take long for Hu Xian's fingers to move, and at the same time he let out a violent cough before slowly opening his eyes.
"Daddy, Mommy." Seeing the two familiar faces on the side of the bed, Hu Xian cried out with a "wow".
"Xian'er!" Cheng Lianzhi couldn't control his emotions anymore, tears welled up, and he hugged Hu Xian on the bed tightly in his arms, for fear that he would lose this beloved son again.
Seeing the mother and son hugging each other, Hu Shouyu's eyes were also a little moist, although he stretched out his hands, he still stopped in mid-air after hesitating, and the void hugged the mother and son, and then quietly wiped the corners of his eyes, then stood up gently and walked in front of Wei Ziqi and Su Jianxia.
"Mr. Wei, thank you for saving my son, this child is so important to our husband and wife, Lian Zhi and I are just such a child, this is also the only bloodline of the Hu family's clan, if something happens to him, then the Hu family will really be separated." Hu Shouyu looked at Wei Ziqi and bowed deeply.
Wei Ziqi shook his head, "I'm just temporarily bringing his soul back and resealing it in my body, but this is not a long-term solution, the only way to solve the problem is still the two paths I told you last time."
Now the situation of your family should be more serious than you told us, you and your wife should also be infected with this disease, the whole family of young adults has been killed and injured more than half, the elderly, women and children are a little better, but they should not last long, if it were not for your son is dying, you should not have called me this call. ”
Hu Shouyu lowered his head, his expression was a little painful, "I know, I am too selfish, for my own selfish desires, for my own interests, I don't care about the whole family, I say that I can't let the family decline, but I still don't dare to stand up when the family encounters such a big disaster, I'm just a coward." ”
"It's too late to say this now, it's not easy to save your son for the time being, and the rest, whether you can stop things from developing in a more serious direction depends on your own choice." Su Jianxia glanced at Cheng Lianzhi, who was holding Hu Xian beside the bed and was unwilling to let go, and sighed, "You still have a wife and children, although it is also a very unfair thing to let you sacrifice, but some things always need someone to sacrifice." ”
"It's just that I don't understand, after so many years, why it's me." Hu Shouyu hugged his head.
"The sins sown in the past life will always be repaid in this life." Wei Ziqi said for no reason.
Hu Shouyu was stunned for a moment, and looked up at Wei Ziqi, "Mr. Wei, what did you just say, the sin of the previous life, does this have anything to do with my previous life?" ”
Wei Ziqi didn't answer, "That's not the point, let's talk about your choice, whether you want to make a blood contract with that jade statue, or break this contract that has entangled your family for thousands of years." ”
This time there was a long silence, Hu Shouyu stood in place, his expression struggling, he opened his mouth several times, but he didn't say anything.
Wei Ziqi and Su Jianxia were not in a hurry, the two of them found two chairs in the room at random, one closed his eyes and began to recuperate, and the other took out his mobile phone and began to watch videos, such a tense atmosphere seemed to have no effect on them.
After about an hour, Hu Shouyu shook his numb legs, and took a step forward with some trembling, ready to tell the two of them about his decision.
"Daddy."
Hu Xian's crisp voice interrupted Hu Shouyu's footsteps, Hu Shouyu looked down at his son holding his thigh, and asked curiously, "Dad, where are you going?" ”
Hu Shouyu rubbed his son's head and tried to make his smile as natural as possible, "Dad went out to do something with his uncle and sister, and he will be back soon." ”
Hu Xian tilted his head to look at Wei Ziqi and Su Jianxia, who were sitting not far away, and his eyes lit up, "Dad, I have seen this uncle and sister, it seems that in my dream, the two of them are so powerful that they brought me back from the two bad guys." ”
Su Jianxia raised his head, met Hu Xian's gaze, squinted and smiled, "I still remember my sister." ”
Hu Xian hurriedly nodded, "Sister, you said that I can see my parents if I am obedient, but now I really see it." ”
"Sister doesn't lie, now your dad is going out with his sister, just now those two bad guys are still in the vicinity and haven't gone far, let's go with your dad to get them away." Su Jianxia coaxed the child seriously.
"Dad, is it true?" Hu Xian looked at Hu Shouyu with an innocent look on his face again.
"Of course it's true, only by driving out all the bad guys will Xian'er no longer be in danger." Hu Shouyu nodded, quickly looked away, and didn't dare to look at Hu Xian again.
"Will Daddy come back?"
"Of course it will, Dad also said that he would take Xian'er to the beach to see dolphins in the future, and Dad will definitely come back."
"Then Daddy has to talk the talk!" Hu Xian nodded heavily, and then let go of Hu Shouyu's thighs.
"Okay Xian'er, come to Mom, don't keep pestering Dad." Cheng Lianzhi, who had been beside the bed, also walked over and gently pulled Hu Xian behind him, holding Hu Shouyu's hand tightly with his other hand.
"Husband, I know that this matter may not be so easy to solve, but no matter what decision you make, I will support you, but before making a decision, you have to remember that there are still me and Xian'er waiting for you at home."
Looking at the worried eyes of his wife, who was with him day and night, Hu Shouyu knew that she must have guessed that something bad would happen, but she still chose to support herself without hesitation.
Thinking of this, Hu Shouyu only felt that his emotions were a little uncontrollable, and quickly turned his head, not daring to let his wife and son see his tears, and then squeezed his wife's hand heavily to signal her not to worry, and then strode towards Wei Ziqi and Su Jianxia.
Su Jianxia sighed and handed Hu Shouyu a piece of paper.
Hu Shouyu thanked him, took the paper and wiped his tears, then lowered his head and said, "I know it may be selfish to say this, I have already made the decision to sacrifice myself to sign a blood contract with the woman in the jade statue, so that the family can continue to prosper, but I still have a wife and children, they are the people I love the most in this world, and I don't want to be separated from them like this." So Mr. Wei, I would like to ask you, can you help me break this contract forever. ”
"Have you thought about it?" Wei Ziqi asked casually, as if he had already guessed this result.
"Think about it." Hu Shouyu nodded.
"Come find me in the store in two days, and I'll take you to meet someone." Wei Ziqi stood up, "Let's get together with my family in the next two days." ”
Hu Shouyu was stunned for a moment, and quickly said: "Thank you, thank you, thank you so much." ”
Weizi waved his hand and walked out the door. Su Jianxia, who was behind him, grimaced at Hu Xian, smiled, and hurriedly followed.
"Uncle, will Hu Shouyu still die if the contract is terminated?" Su Jianxia asked curiously.
"I don't know." Wei Ziqi shook his head, "This jade statue was made by an old friend of mine, and it sealed an extremely resentful evil spirit inside. That evil spirit had killed a lot of people before, until this friend of mine met her, and because his resentment was too heavy to destroy her directly, he sealed her soul in a jade statue and buried it deep in the ground.
I originally thought that after hundreds of years of consumption, the resentment of this evil spirit would also be consumed, and it would not be too late to send her into reincarnation, but I didn't expect that the ancestors of the Hu family dug up this jade statue back to their home in the ground, and also used their own flesh and blood to support her for thousands of years.
After thousands of years of offerings, the power of this resentful spirit can only be said to be stronger than before, so I may have to go to my friend to solve this matter. ”
"Uncle, you are so powerful, can't you directly destroy this evil spirit?"
"Theoretically, yes, but there are other reasons for that.
Evil spirits are not evil spirits from the beginning, especially if this kind of resentment accumulates, it must be due to some reason, which leads to excessive resentment, and then turns into evil spirits after death.
The woman in this jade statue actually suffered a ...... before she died Some unspeakable pain. ”
Su Jianxia thought thoughtfully, "Then this Hu family is too wronged, the evil spirits created by others have to be borne by them." ”
"It's not a grievance, if it weren't for the fact that the ancestor of the Hu family was obsessed with ghosts, and for the longevity of the family, he used his own flesh and blood to sign a contract with the jade statue for the sake of the family's longevity, and the jade statue would not have stayed in the Hu family forever.
Moreover, the first generation of the head of the Hu family has a deep connection with the woman in this jade statue. ”
"It won't be ......" Su Jianxia suddenly had a bold guess in his heart.
Wei Ziqi nodded, "There is never retribution in this world that finds you for no reason, as long as you do some things, even if it is a hundred years, a thousand years later, retribution will find you." ”
Su Jianxia looked back at the stilted building behind him, and on the fourth floor, he could vaguely see Hu Shouyu's family hugging each other, the tears of the woman's joy, the wry smile of the man full of thoughts, and the innocent expression of the child.
"I hope they can cherish these two days." Su Jianxia only felt a little regretful, "By the way, uncle, what kind of person is that friend of yours, why don't I seem to have heard you mention it?" ”
Wei Ziqi thought for a while, and said concisely: "He is a very free person. ”
"Freedom?"
"He's always been a very loose person, he doesn't fight with the world, and he doesn't ask about the world. It's hard to describe his character, and I haven't seen him in years.
The last time we saw each other was probably in ...... Eighty years ago? At that time, it was still during the War of Resistance Against Japan. ”
"Does he live far from us?"
"It's not far away, just outside the city of Suzhou. It's just that he has carved out an isolated space by himself, and he takes his seven wives to grow vegetables in it and have fun, and he doesn't like to be in contact with the outside world very much. ”
Su Jianxia nodded, and soon seemed to realize something, and quickly raised his head, "What did you just say?" Seven wives? Heptad??? ”
Wei Ziqi looked puzzled, "What is the point of this, in our time, a man can have many women." ”
Su Jianxia turned his head and narrowed his eyes, "Oh? Listening to this, how many more women do you want to have? ”
Weizi walked forward without squinting, "You can't talk nonsense, I haven't been a woman." ”
"I don't believe your nonsense, it's been a thousand years old and I haven't been in love." Su saw Xia Leng snorted, "I think the woman surnamed Xu today is very good, mature woman style, quite a match for you." ”
"What is the surname Xu?" Wei Ziqi frowned, and quickly searched for someone surnamed Xu in his mind.
"I just saw you in the morning and you forgot, old man." Su Jianxia obviously didn't believe it.
Wei Ziqi opened her mouth, her face strange.
