Chapter 3: Past and Present Lives (Part II)
After Lin Nian learned of Zhou Liankui's background, he made a choice to keep Zhou Liankui by his side instead of sending her back to Zhou's family, because he didn't know what kind of existence Zhou Liankui was now, and if he rashly left her with the ordinary people, it might be a disaster.
After taking in Zhou Liankui, Lin Nian also gave her a new name "Lin Kuier".
Lin Kuier followed Lin Nian for a few months, just like a normal person, and over time, Lin Nian forgot Lin Kui'er's origin, he recognized Lin Kui'er as his sister-in-law, and brought her back to Linjia Village.
After a good New Year, Lin Kuier integrated into the life of Linjia Village.
It wasn't until that day, after one of the people in the village contracted stiffness, that Lin Nian knew that something was wrong, but at this time he was powerless to go back to the sky, and could only watch the villagers in the village die of stiffness.
Lin Jiacun was destroyed overnight, and Lin Nian didn't blame Lin Kui'er, because it was his carelessness that caused all this.
It took a few days for Lin Nian to clean up the Linjia Village, everything in the village, he burned everything that could be burned, and buried everything that couldn't, because stiffness may be transmitted through some kind of artifact.
After doing all this, Lin Nian began to deal with Lin Kui'er's affairs.
After seeing that someone in Linjia Village got stiffness, Lin Nian had sent Lin Kui'er to live in a thatched hut in the mountains, so Lin Kui'er didn't know anything about what happened in Linjia Village, and she didn't even know about her life experience.
After many years, Lin Nian is no longer a fledgling little Taoist priest back then, his skills are much stronger than at the beginning, in fact, if he had been more careful about the affairs of Linjia Village in the past, it would not have caused today's consequences.
But now it's too late to say anything, when she returns to the thatched hut in the mountains to see Lin Kuier again, Lin Nian took her away from Linjia Village, and then Lin Nian took her to the ends of the earth, hoping to solve Lin Kui'er's problem.
But after a few years, Lin Kui'er not only did not develop in the direction of humans, but became more and more like a zombie, with infinite strength in her hands and feet, her skin was as stiff as iron, and the expression on her face gradually decreased, replaced by a cold face.
Lin Nian knew that it wouldn't be long before Lin Kui'er would completely turn into a zombie.
Zombies are beings that belong outside the six realms, and once they become zombies, their souls will be completely annihilated, and they will not even have a chance to reincarnate.
Therefore, when he thought that Lin Kuier would become a zombie, Lin Nian was unwilling in his heart, and after getting along for so many years, the relationship between the two has long been like brother and sister.
After some inner struggle, Lin Nian decided to kill Lin Kui'er before she became a zombie, only in this way could her soul be saved, but this would still not be able to enter reincarnation, and the result would only cause Lin Kui'er's soul to wander between the world and become a ghost-like existence.
This result is not what Lin Nian wants, he hopes that Lin Kui'er can really be reincarnated and become a human in the next life.
That winter, Lin Nian brought Lin Kuier back to Linjia Village.
"Brother, why are you missing here" Lin Kui'er's tone was so cold, and her face was so pale.
"They went far, far away," Lin Nian's voice was so bitter.
"Will they ever come back?"
"Won't"
"Oh"
Lin Nian took Lin Kuier to the ancestral hall, and the two knelt in the empty ancestral hall.
"The ancestors and ancestors are above, and the descendants of Lin Nian have come to atone for the wronged souls of Linjia Village today."
Lin Nian kowtowed three times, and then asked Lin Kuier to kowtow a few times with him.
After doing all this, the two stood up, their eyes facing each other, Lin Kui'er seemed to understand what was going to happen next, looking at the tears flashing in Lin Nian's eyes, she stretched out her hand, gently wiped the corners of Lin Nian's eyes, and said in a stiff voice: "Brother, no matter what happens next, I won't blame you"
Hearing this, Lin Nian's tears finally couldn't hold back, and he slid down in a hurry, and at this moment, a blood talisman appeared in his hand, only to see him press the blood talisman on Lin Kui'er's forehead, and shouted loudly: "Urgent as a law, Daojun is above, apprentice grandson Lin Nian exchanged his life for his life, heaven and earth are infinite, order!"
"No, brother"
Lin Kui'er found that Lin Nian did not kill her as she imagined, but exchanged her own life for her life, and she roared in her mouth.
But it was too late.
Lin Kui'er's body turned into a star, and after a while, a transparent soul condensed in mid-air, it was Lin Kui'er, and before Lin Kui'er could leave any words, a suction pulled her into reincarnation.
"Successed"
Lin Nian watched Lin Kui'er's soul enter reincarnation, and the corners of his mouth hooked up with a smile.
As soon as the smile passed, a gray mist fell from the sky, enveloping Lin Nian in it.
In the gray mist, Lin Nian's face could not be seen, and he could only hear his screams from time to time.
......
"Lao Mo, what are you doing in a daze, this rain is getting heavier and heavier"
Qiu Wen's voice pulled Lin Mo back to reality, she shook her head, and then wiped the rain or tears on her face with her hands, and then she suddenly said to Qiu Wen: "Xiao Wenwen, do you believe that there is a past life and an afterlife?"
Qiu Wen was slightly stunned, stared at Lin Mo, and blinked, "Didn't I hear me wrong?"
"No, answer me" Lin Mo replied with a roll of his eyes.
I saw Qiu Wen grinning and said, "I believe it! I believe that we must be sisters in our last life, and we will continue to be in this life."
"Then you guessed wrong, we didn't have anything to do with each other in our previous lives," Lin Mo snorted.
"Cut, who knows about the things in the previous life, how do you know that it doesn't matter if we have the last life"
"Because I know I didn't have sisters in my last life"
As soon as the words came out, Qiu Wen was stunned for a few seconds, and then she said haha: "Lao Mo, you are joking with me again"
Lin Mo hooked Qiu Wen's shoulder, put his lips to her ear and said softly: "If you don't believe it, I'll take you to see my brother in my previous life."
As soon as this sentence came out, Qiu Wen couldn't help but shudder, she swallowed her saliva, but in her heart, she thought that Lin Mo was scaring her, so she thought about it, she patted her chest, and snorted: "Go, if you go to see me, who is afraid of whom?"
"What you said, don't be scared to call your mother for a while" Lin Mo showed an inexplicable smile.
"If I'm scared, I'm your daughter," Qiu Wen snorted.
Lin Mo smiled, didn't speak, took her hand, and stepped into the dark ancestral hall in front of him together, as soon as he entered, Lin Mo found that the roof here had already collapsed, but the ground was very dry, and the wet ground outside was completely different worlds.
As soon as she came in, Qiu Wen couldn't help but sigh lightly, she also found that there was an obvious gap between here and outside, no raindrops fell in the sky, there was no siltation on the ground, there was not even the slightest sound around, and in the middle of the ancestral hall, there was a golden silk nanmu coffin.
A gust of wind blew, and the two subconsciously grabbed each other's hands, this action made the two of them look at each other in unison, and after a few seconds of silence, Qiu Wen broke the silence and said: "Didn't you take me to see your brother in your previous life?"
Lin Mo was not willing to be down, and replied: "It's not that I don't want to go, it's that you dragged me back."
Hearing this, Qiu Wen immediately let go of her hand and gently pushed Lin Mo in the direction of the coffin: "Go you"
