Chapter 50: The Changing of Spirits
It turned out that Liu Gongzi had the strength to get up from the bed just now, not because of the return to the light, but because the Taoist chief pasted a kind of spirit gathering talisman after his death. It can gather the excess aura within a radius of five miles in half an hour, allowing him to recover his strength in a short time. However, as soon as the time came, the aura automatically dissipated, and because he had been sucked too much essence, he was suddenly counterattacked, and he fell to the ground with a pale face.
If this continues, it will be difficult for Liu Gongzi's body to recover, and if he doesn't carry out the method of changing spirits, I'm afraid that they will see black and white impermanence again in a few days. The Taoist originally saw that "Lu Ying" was dead, and he didn't want to interfere with Liu Hua's life or death anymore, so he looked at Yun Casual and dispelled this idea.
"Lu Ying" should be in love with Liu Gongzi, but because she is a demon and stays with people, she will unconsciously absorb the essence of others for many years. Although she wanted Liu Gongzi to recover, she couldn't restrain her feelings, so she could only pretend that he was seriously ill so that she could not leave his side for the time being.
The Taoist chief felt that as long as there was no one else to chew his tongue, or no matter whether that person could stand the demonic qi or not, people and demons could always be together. There are some things about the love of the world that must be let her know a little bit, and this time I will send the Buddha to the west, and simply help again. It was night, and he saw that these subordinates were all scared awake anyway, so after sending Yun back to sleep at will, he simply called them all together, ready to find someone to change their spirits.
The so-called exchanging spirits is to exchange lives for lives. This sounds cruel, but it is the only way to cure Young Master Liu. He can also go directly to the underworld and ask them to give him more than ten years of life, but in this way, he can only lie on the bed like a corpse, and it is better to die happily. But he can't find other creatures besides people, forcibly turning people into demons like this is to disrupt the order of the six realms of reincarnation, and he doesn't want to be struck by the thunder of the sky. The Taoist explained to those people the meaning of the spirit change, but he didn't expect them to be chattering, and he didn't have the heart to listen to it at all.
These subordinates were almost frightened, and some of them couldn't believe that the lady they had lived with for three years was actually a snake demon. The grandmother also trembled and said: "Madame is usually very good to us, and I have never seen her eat people, thanks to the Immortal Dao Chief, otherwise we don't know how we would have died!"
"That's right, I've seen Lu Ying before, so I said that her temperament is completely different when she marries in!"
In the midst of the silence, only one person was unusually quiet. She is Su Mu who no one wants to stand with her. She was still the same as before, rubbing the corners of her clothes with her head down, and occasionally looking up at the people around her, as if to make sure they were still there.
But no one wanted to, and that's to be expected. Although Liu Gongzi is their master, it doesn't matter much after all, people are selfish, and no one is willing to lose their lives for others for no reason.
They looked at each other and stood like wooden men, and the lobby fell silent.
The Taoist chief felt a little funny, he felt that he looked like the kind of wicked person who forced the good to become a prostitute. He thought for a while, and added: "If Liu Gongzi knew that it was you who gave him his life, he would definitely not treat your family badly." As for me, I'll go to the underworld and let the king of the ten halls of Hades find you a good errand, so that you will not be an official but also a prince in your next life. What do you think?...... Of course, if no one wants to, I'll go to the prison and grab a random death row inmate - but it's also troublesome if I don't want to. Give you a day to think about it, right?"
But it didn't take a day at all. In the silence, a hand slowly raised. The owner of the hand finally raised his head. There was a resolute sparkle in her eyes, and she said in a voice that was neither too big nor too small that everyone could hear, "Me." ”
Everyone was shocked. They looked at the girl in disbelief, who had never lifted her head, and even the Taoist looked at her with a strange look.
"Su Mu, have you thought about it?"
Her hands were stubbornly raised, a little overwhelmed by being looked at so many people at the same time. But her eyes were always firm and peaceful, and she looked at the Taoist chief like that, as if to say, "It's me." ”
For a moment, Su Mu seemed to have become different from others. It's the same person, but she seems to have something different. But her face was still so ugly, the Taoist looked at her through the crowd, and suddenly found that everyone around her seemed to be gone, only she stood in place, with a relieved expression on her face.
"The Light ......"
The Dao Leader lowered his head and sighed softly. He realized that some things were inevitable, no matter how hard he tried years ago, the stars in the sky were still turning according to their own trajectory, pushing people to where she should have been standing, and they couldn't change it.
"Su Mu, come with me. ”
"Dao Chief...... If you want to say a word to Liu Gongzi, just say-"
She stopped suddenly, her face turned pale for a moment, and then she actually smiled: "Forget it." ”
She trotted to keep up with the trail leader, never feeling so brisk as she felt. Because she understands that what she once lost will not come back, and if she can't go back, she can't go back.
