Chapter 81: The Trial
At noon the next day, Liang Wenfu came to the Qingshui River again to see if Wenzishi was still there. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
After waiting in the shade of the tree for a while, but not seeing Wenzi Shi appear, Liang Wenfu thought that he must have gone to the underworld to take up his post, so he prepared to turn back.
At this moment, Liang Wenfu suddenly heard an exclamation from the side, turned his head to look, and saw a woman holding swaddling clothes on the wooden bridge not far away struggling to call for help. The wooden bridge was quite wide, but the woman could not take a single step when she stood in the middle of it, as if her foot had been stuck in something.
Liang Wenfu was about to go over to help, but saw that the woman's body suddenly crooked, and the whole person fell into the water under the bridge.
"Helpβwooβ" The woman hurriedly cried out for help after falling into the water, and as soon as she was halfway up her shout, her head sank under the water!
Liang Wenfu was frightened, and hurriedly ran over there, ready to go into the water to save people, at this moment, the woman's head surfaced again, and after seeing Liang Wenfu on the shore, she struggled to throw the swaddling clothes to this side, and sank again.
The ground on the shore is all hard, and if the baby falls directly to the ground, it is almost the same if it does not die! Liang Wenfu didn't care about the woman in the water, and hurriedly looked at the place where the swaddling baby was about to fall, and jumped over, and finally caught it the moment before the swaddling baby was about to fall to the ground.
Finding that the baby in swaddling clothes was still sleeping peacefully, Liang Wenfu relieved his heart, gently put him on the ground, and hurriedly got up to prepare to go into the water to save people. When I looked up, I saw that the shadow of the woman on the river was gone, and only the ripples caused by her falling into the water remained.
Liang Wenfu hurriedly ran to the river and was about to enter the water, but saw a sudden "bang" on the water, and the woman actually got out of the water again, and then cried and swam desperately to the shore. Liang Wenfu hurriedly stepped forward to take the handle and dragged the woman ashore, and the woman lay on the ground and coughed up a few saliva violently, but she didn't care about herself, and immediately ran to the swaddling clothes on the ground.
After finding that the child was safe and sound, the woman finally put her heart at ease, came over with tears on her face and thanked Liang Wenfu for her kindness, and then didn't care about getting wet, and hugged the child firmly and left.
Seeing that there was nothing to do, Liang Wenfu also planned to go back to the city, but suddenly a familiar sigh came from his body.
Liang Wenfu turned his head to look, and sure enough, Master Wen Zishi was standing behind him, so he stepped forward strangely and asked, "It turns out that Brother Wen hasn't left yet, why didn't you see you for a long time just now?" And why are you sighing again?"
Wen Zishi punched the trunk of the tree next to him, and said bitterly: "That woman was pulled into the water by me!"
"Ah! Why is that? Could it be that woman has an enmity with you?" Liang Wenfu was taken aback, it was precisely because of his good deeds in several lifetimes that this Wenzi Master finally had the opportunity to become a god, why did he suddenly want to kill someone now?
Wen Zishi shook his head, sat down on the big stone under the tree, and said with a disappointed face: "In the morning, the envoy of the underworld has already come, and he also gave me the letter of appointment of the judge of the underworld, but unexpectedly, he gave me a final test: I must kill the woman before I can go to the underworld to take office! Now I can't bear to let the woman go, naturally I haven't completed the test, alas......"
How could there be such an impersonal test? Liang Wenfu frowned and guessed: "Maybe that woman's life should have arrived, but it was just fulfilled by Brother Wen's hand?"
Wenzi Shi sighed: "I also thought that since the Hades let me kill people, then this person must be destined to die, but I didn't expect that this woman was still holding a child!
Without waiting for Liang Wenfu to answer, Wen Zishi directly picked up the wine jug he brought from the ground, drank most of the jug in one go, gritted his teeth and said: "Although there is also this possibility, but before I figure it out, I still can't be ruthless, after all, that child is still so young, if I kill his mother, it is a question of whether he can still live! Even if he can live, how pitiful is a child who has no mother since he was a child? Therefore, I hesitated in the water for a long time, and finally let the woman go!"
Liang Wenfu also sighed, thinking about it carefully, if he stood in the perspective of Wenzi Master, I was afraid that he would make the same choice, right? This decision of the underworld is really fucking nonsense, if that woman really deserves to die, there are so many soul seducers, why do you have to use the hands of outsiders to kill people?
Looking at Wenzishi's depressed appearance, Liang Wenfu held on to the last glimmer of hope and said: "Maybe the test of this underworld is actually the opposite, that is, to test whether you will do anything to become a god! Now that you have good intentions and let go of that woman, maybe it is the result that the underworld wants? If you really kill someone, you will have lost all your previous efforts!"
Wen Zishi took another big sip of wine and said with a forced smile: "Ha! Brother Liang, you are really good at comforting people, okay! I will take your words seriously, and I will comfort myself with this in the future." β
The words just now were indeed mostly comforting, but after saying them, the more Liang Wenfu thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible, so he urged: "I think this possibility is very big, after all, you can have the opportunity to embark on this path of becoming a god, it is precisely because of your good deeds in many lifetimes! Doesn't it mean that the envoy has already given you the letter of appointment? You might as well go directly to the underworld to try it!"
Wen Zishi's eyes finally appeared with a glint of hope, and he took out a small scroll from his bosom with trembling hands, which was the letter of appointment given to him by the envoy of the underworld. As a result, before he could open the power of attorney, a breeze blew, and the scroll turned into ashes and drifted away with the wind!
The expression on Wen Zishi's face instantly froze, his eyes stared straight at the dust that flew away with the wind, and the hope that had just been ignited in his heart was also scattered with the wind like the dust, completely silent.
"Damn!" Liang Wenfu was so angry that he kicked on the trunk of the tree beside him, angry in his heart.
Since experiencing the matter of the last reincarnation division, Liang Wenfu has a very bad impression of the underworld, although the last time the lord of Xue finally came forward to solve the problem, but the bad impression of the underworld in his heart has not been completely eliminated;
Looking at Wen Zishi's face as if he was dead, Liang Wenfu empathized with his heart, this was the hope of more than ten years suddenly shattered!
After thinking about it, Liang Wenfu suggested again: "Hades should give you another chance, right? Or you can go to Hades and ask in person to see what is going on." β
Wen Zishi shook his head and forced a smile and said: "Brother Liang doesn't need to persuade anymore, if you can't be a judge, you won't do it! Maybe this is because you and I have an unfinished fate, and we should continue to get together?
Liang Wenfu smiled reluctantly and sat down to drink with him.
Next, although Wenzishi pretended to be relaxed and talked and laughed loudly, Liang Wenfu was always angry for him in his heart, and he was really not too interested, and the two of them separated after each drinking a stomach.
