Volume 2 Three Lives Chapter 35 The Moon in the Sea is Bright and Jun Buries the Mud Bones under the Spring
"Come back from the dead?, so your lamp really has the ability to do this?" Yuan Xi raised his eyebrows, feeling that this matter was much more strange.
"No, this is the arrangement of the immortals who made me swear life and death. He can bring Chen Gongzi back to life, I just need to use this as a gimmick to sell the everlasting lamp. He did this just to help me get the entire ransom as quickly as possible with an everlasting lamp. β
"Why did he help you so much?" Yuan Yu seemed to have thought of something, just to make sure.
Li Jingyi shook her head, "I can't say." There's only so much I can say. β
"Then what is the price for him to help you like this?"
"The other twelve lamps belong to him. Li Jingyi replied.
Yuan Xi didn't force him anymore, just looked at the everlasting lamp, and said with a deep gaze, "You said that when the people are resurrected, this deal will be completed." β
"Yes. β
"But do you know? The son of the Chen family was resurrected two months ago. β
Li Jingyi was shocked when she heard this, her eyes widened, and she had an expression of disbelief
"How...... How is it possible? Chen Gongzi contracted a vicious disease only a few days ago, and he only swallowed his breath yesterday. It was only yesterday that Chen Yuanwai came to me to buy a lantern. Two months ago?how could it be!" Li Jingyi looked puzzled, obviously not believing.
"Yesterday?"
Hara now knows what the problem is. He looked at Chaosheng, "It turns out that what you said is right, it is indeed a shackle and a cage." β
I think that before he stepped into the store, he already knew everything about the situation inside.
This shop, called Canghai Yueming Pavilion, has become a cage, and what is imprisoned is the memory between life and death, and the obsession of the world.
Chao Sheng looked indifferent, and sighed lightly, "It's just a fetter." β
Li Jingyi really didn't understand what the two immortals meant, what cage, what shackles, he was at a loss.
Chaosheng looked at Li Jingyi, who was bound by dust and obsession, and suddenly felt some patience and pity. Besides, if you tell the truth earlier, you may be able to find Chu Ji earlier.
"I'll tell you a story. Chaosheng said.
Although Li Jingyi was very puzzled, she still nodded.
"Once upon a time there was a mortal who made a confidant with a merman by chance. After the merman returned to the South China Sea, mortals wanted to go to the South China Sea to visit the merman because they missed their old friend. But he died of illness on the way to the South China Sea, and finally failed to make it to the South China Sea. Chaosheng didn't have any emotion in his eyes, and told the story unhurriedly.
Hearing this, Li Jingyi obviously couldn't sit still, he couldn't stop trembling, "No...... No way...... It couldn't be ......."
"In that mortal lamp shop, there is a soul gathering array made of twelve everlasting lamps. This formation was not originally prepared for him, but because he had been with those ever-bright lamps for many years, he gradually became aura. So after he died, his soul was instinctively attracted to the formation, and his memory stayed forever after the day of Chen Gongzi's death, day after day, and he always only remembered the memory of that day, although it was said that this day was no more ordinary. Chao Sheng said indifferently.
Yuan Xi believes that Li Jingyi's memory will stay on this day forever, not for no reason. Although the day after Chen Gongzi's death, it was an ordinary day. But after today, Chen Gongzi will come back from the dead, and Li Jingyi will also be rewarded accordingly to rescue his son in prison, and then embark on a journey to the South China Sea to find a confidant.
It is an ordinary day, but it is a day full of anticipation and hope. Perhaps, the joy of not getting it but about to get it is far better than the days when you get it and then count down the days you will lose. Perhaps, this is the reason why his memory stays on this day.
Li Jingyi sat slumped on the ground, at first in disbelief and acceptance, frowning tightly and losing sight. Gradually, he held his head in his hands, and only felt groggy.
"I remembered, I remembered. Turns out I really ...... He's dead. Li Jingyi closed her eyes in despair, "It seems that I will never have a chance to see Luhua again." β
Li Jingyi had already received 50,000 taels of silver to rescue her son two months ago, and then set off for the South China Sea. Unexpectedly, he had a serious illness on the way, died of treatment, and failed to go to the South China Sea in the end.
Even after his death, his soul was trapped in the lamp shop, thinking that he would rescue his son and then go to the South China Sea to visit Luhua.
It's a pity that I'm afraid I'll never see each other again in this life.
"This seat can help you fulfill your wish to see him again," Asahei's words successfully stopped his wailing, "provided that ......"
"Needless to say, even if I really want to see Luhua again, I will never break my promise and never tell the clues of that person. Li Jingyi's righteous words are categorical.
Chaosheng also expressed helplessness. This person does have the style of a literati, and he is not pedantic, and it can be said that this person is very upright and upright, and attaches great importance to love and righteousness.
Chao Sheng chuckled, not knowing whether he was happy or angry. She said, "Your soul is imprisoned by the formation of the Everbright Lamp, and you can't leave here for the time being. Stay here for a few days. When the matter is over, I will let you go to reincarnation. Now that you've regained your memory, you don't have to worry about getting stuck in the memory loop again. β
Chaosheng said goodbye and left. Yuan Xi followed.
Walking on the street with cars and horses and people coming and going, Yuan Xi was thoughtful. He looked up at the boundless sky, sighed softly, and said:
"I once heard a story that Zhang Sheng and Li Gong became confidants and friends, and after the two separated, they agreed that Zhang Sheng would visit Li Gong's hometown three years later. However, the three-year period has expired, but Zhang Sheng failed to embark on the journey of visiting friends as promised due to various entanglements. Because the two places separated by each other are so far apart, even if they set off immediately, it will take many days to arrive. Zhang Sheng was afraid that Li Gong would wait for a long time, and in order to fulfill their agreement at that time, he personally ended his life, and suddenly his soul left his body as light as a swallow, and soon flew in front of Li Gong. I think that the friendship that transcends life and death is really rare, and Li Jingyi is one. β
"Yes, there are some precious things. Although Chaosheng's tone did not have any waves, his expression was very serious.
Just like Zhang Sheng sacrificed his life to accompany you, just like Li Jingyi forgot about life and death, but still remembered to visit his old friends in the distance.
Jun buried the mud under the spring, and I sent the world full of snow. Although life and death are goodbye, the friendship lasts forever. This may be a rare vivid color in this gray and empty world.
"I always felt like you'd help him. Yuan Xi said this, but his tone was extremely affirmative.
Chao Sheng smiled lightly and said, "It's not that I'll help him, this can only be said to be his own fate." β
Yuan Yu's soft gaze looked at her, waiting for her next word.
"There is also an immortal official named Chu Mad in the Changming Palace. He was sent by me to the South China Sea on an errand, and he will be back in a few days. He said that at that time, the second prince of the merman clan, Luhua, would come together. Chaosheng said.
"It's a miracle. Yuan Xi smiled, "This kind of friendship is really enviable, and it is appropriate for Mr. Fusang to write a play to praise it." β
Chaosheng said, "It's okay." β
"But Li Jingyi is obviously just a soul now, and we can see him, so why can others see him and think that he is no different from ordinary people?"
"Maybe it all has something to do with that formation. That Soul Gathering Array Immortal Method was powerful, and if he stayed in the formation, he could obtain a steady stream of immortal energy and spiritual power from it, causing his soul to be not as weak as ordinary ghosts, and even no different from ordinary people. "Asahi said.
"But isn't the ordinary ever-bright lamp only used for lighting?"
"Ever-bright lanterns made from mermaid oil burn for a long time. The so-called death is like a lamp going out, since you want to gather the soul, you need to burn a few more lamps and ensure that it will not be extinguished for a long time, and the ever-bright lamp is the best choice. Chaosheng said patiently.
Originally, the array was arranged with ever-bright lights, also because of its long illumination time.
"Since it is a soul gathering array, the everlasting lamp can only be used for illumination, and it seems that the everlasting lamp is not the eye of the array. The array eye is the real thing that gathers the soul, and the everlasting lamp is used to protect the Dharma. Yuan Xi suddenly realized.
Chao Sheng nodded approvingly, and there was unconcealed joy in his eyes, which was even more dazzling than the stars.
Yuan Yu looked at her like this, and just wanted to take a few more looks.
"You have a high level of understanding and have made great progress. Chao Sheng hooked his lips slightly, and he could see that she was very happy.
Yuan Xi also has joy in his heart for no reason, and he just wants to stay by her side for the rest of his life.
"But who is the arranger? Could it be Chu Ji, and what is he doing this for?" asked Yuan Yu.
Many things seem to be one step closer to the truth, but they are even more puzzling than before.
Chaosheng did not answer him. Because she doesn't know either.
"In that Canghai Yueming Pavilion, except for the soul of Li Jingyi, there is no one else, and there is no clue of Chu Ji. But what about those missing souls? I thought that their disappearance had something to do with the lamp shop, but now it seems that they were wrong. Yuan Yu was a little frustrated.
"That Soul Gathering Array's powerful array eye control is obviously purposeful to resurrect a certain person, and it will not gather the souls of others indiscriminately. Lee Kyung-yi was just an accident. Chaosheng said in a deep voice.
"But those missing souls ......"
At this moment, Chaosheng clearly noticed that the aura of the flute in her sleeve was moving, but for a moment, she regained her calm, as if it was her illusion. Xu Jue still stayed in the flute, and everything seemed to be normal.
Chao Sheng frowned imperceptibly, the vigilance and consideration in his eyes were fleeting, leaving no trace.
"This is the business of the underworld, and it has nothing to do with us. Chaosheng said quietly.
"What if this matter is related to what we want to do?" Yuan Yu was naturally too lazy to meddle, but he always felt that everything was not so simple.
"I don't know about this for now. You can only wait for the rabbit and take one step at a time. β
Chao Sheng frowned slightly, his eyes were deep. This matter is too wide-ranging, and it has developed in an unexpected direction, and this feeling of being out of control is very uncomfortable.
Yuan Yu saw that Asahi was preoccupied and wanted to make her happy. Suddenly thinking of something, he pulled up Chaosheng's sleeve and was about to leave.
"Ehβwhere?"
"We might as well start with the Chen Gongzi of the Chen Yuanwai family who came back from the dead!"
Yuan Yu Chong Chaosheng smiled slightly, and his clean and bright smile instantly dispelled the haze in Chaosheng's heart.
