"Godmother, how did my father die back then?" Mo Wen said what he had been hiding deep in his heart, "Is it Zhuang Yuchen?"
Xiu'er's heart ached for a while, and after a while she calmed down and said: "Your father is very capable, no one in the world can kill him."
"But the outside world has been rumoring that Heavenly Court and the Taoist priests of the Maoshan Sect teamed up to kill him." Mo Wen complained with some incomprehensible words, "Godmother, is it because Xinxin likes people named Zhuang, and you are afraid that I will deal with the Maoshan Sect, so you say this
of?"
Xiu'er shook his head and looked at Mo Wen with some worry, "Your father was an ancient god, but later he was contaminated by turbid air, controlled by evil thoughts, and finally became a demon. He became a demon and became a generation of demons, Mo Wen. You have never been a god.
As an immortal, you cannot understand the struggle between gods and demons. Your father had benevolent thoughts, but he did many bloody things because he was controlled by the turbid energy. He chose to fight against the demonic thoughts as he was worse than dead.
They will die together with the turbid air.”
"Impossible" Mo Wen shook his head and said in disbelief: "I don't believe that my mother kept telling me that my father was killed by Heavenly Court and Zhuang Yuchen together. She only hates that I am incapable and cannot seek revenge from Zhuang Yuchen."
"I know it's hard for you to accept that your father committed suicide, so I have resisted telling you all these years. But for your father, it's not pain but relief."
"He is free, what about my mother?"
"The past between your father and your mother cannot be judged by right or wrong."
"Is it a female slave?" Mo Wen asked unwillingly: "Godmother, do you want to say that dad and a female slave are a perfect match, and my mother brought this fate to herself? What about me? I do too.
A redundant one?"
Xiu'er sighed quietly and took Mo Wen's hand, "I don't know what your mother said to you, but as far as I'm concerned, you are the treasure given to me by my third brother. I have always regarded you as my own, and I don't treat you any less."
Xinxin and Steamed Bun sent your father and your mother to meet at the wrong time, so they were destined to never meet each other in this life. Moreover, when your mother was pregnant with you, your father had already degenerated into a demon. A war between gods and demons was imminent, and your father could not take care of both.
"Fine, some mistakes have been made. I hope you don't hold grudges against your father. He has suffered enough..." Thinking of the misery of the third brother's reincarnation, tears burst into his eyes.
"Godmother" Mo Wen hugged Xiu'er and said guiltily: "I don't hate him, I just feel sorry for my mother."
"Your mother and your father are just like you and Xinxin. Some of them are too strong to be sweet. I hope you can be more considerate to your father."
After returning from Huang Quanhai, Xiu'er thought again and again and said to Zongzi: "Chu Xun, I've been thinking about it for a long time these days. I really can't let go of my third brother. Instead of letting him suffer in the world, why don't we bring him back and raise him?"
big"
"Xiu'er, we are in the human world now. The life and death of human beings are controlled by heaven. It is useless for you to keep him by your side. If you prevent him from suffering, you are going against the gods. Once they find out that Yinglong has not been cast into the animal realm,
You know exactly what consequences it will cause." Zongzi felt a splitting headache. As soon as she came across Yinglong's matter, she acted regardless of the consequences.
"Then let's take him back to the corpse world or the demon world. That is not the jurisdiction of the heaven..." Xiu'er looked at Zongzi pleadingly, "The third brother is freed from the control of the heaven, so he can naturally survive."
"Why did you forget that it is impossible for humans to survive in the world of corpses and demons?" Zongzi collapsed and said with dissatisfaction: "Do you think he will become a zombie or a devil, and then repeat the life and death of Huang Quanhai? Then you have
I haven't asked him whether he would rather be a zombie or a devil... Maybe you can help him become an immortal and personally send him to heaven?"
Xiu'er stood up and stood by the window, feeling confused
Why can't she help third brother?
Unable to let go of Yinglong, Xiuer quietly passed away to the human world without telling Zongzi. She stood in front of the dilapidated thatched house invisibly for a whole night. The cold rain soaked her whole body, and the chill was biting.
At dawn in the early morning, Xu Ziqian dragged his seriously ill body to open the room and left the thatched house with a dilapidated bowl. Xiu'er followed him quietly. She saw that his clothes were ragged and thin, his bare feet were cracked and bleeding from the cold, and his trembling little body was shrinking.
They formed a ball, and a pair of black and swollen hands kept rubbing for warmth.
Seeing the five or six-year-old Xu Ziqian struggling on the line of life and death, Xiu'er was in pain like a knife. She repeatedly reached out to help him fall on the muddy road, but she couldn't help but think of Zongzi. If she could, she would be willing to suffer for him.
Xu Ziqian, covered in mud, dragged his seriously ill body to the market. He chose a corner to sit down and placed the broken bowl in front of him.
Xiu'er suddenly realized that he was begging
He knelt on the ground and begged from passers-by, but he received blank looks.
After begging for a whole morning, Xu Ziqian not only failed to get a single coin, but was ridiculed and scolded in all kinds of ways. Anxious, he hugged the feet of a passerby and said, "Uncle, please do me a favor. My mother has been sick and hasn't eaten for several days."
thing……"
"Go, go, little beggar." The man kicked Xu Ziqian and "dirty the uncle's clothes."
Xiu'er couldn't bear to watch any more, so she turned around and went to the tailor shop to buy a few sets of cotton-padded clothes and shoes. Then she went to the bun shop and bought some hot buns that had just come out of the basket. She mustered up the courage to walk towards Xu Ziqian, looking at him with tears in her eyes.
"Girl..." Xu Ziqian knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily to Xiu'er, "Please do a good thing and give me some money to save my mother."
Tears slid down her eyes and fell on Xu Ziqian's head. Xiu'er, sobbing, squatted on the ground, heartbroken and unable to breathe.
Xu Ziqian raised his head and looked at Xiu'er with tears on her face in astonishment, wondering why she was crying and crying.
"Three..." Xiu'er's lips and teeth trembled, and she opened her mouth for a long time before saying: "My child, this is for you."
She stuffed clothes, shoes and food into Xu Ziqian's hand and "take it"
"Thank you, thank you." Xu Ziqian was stunned and kowtowed excitedly, "Bodhisattva will bless you."
"Get up." Xiu'er helped him up, took out a handkerchief and wiped his swollen forehead, "You must be hungry, eat quickly." The Bodhisattva who saves the suffering will never protect those who need protection.
Xu Ziqian's face looks almost like An Yueze's. Xiu'er seems to have seen the third brother's appearance as a child. Life has given him too much hardship, but his eyes are still clear and his smile is still gentle.
winter sunshine
Seeing him put the bun into his pocket, Xiu'er wiped away her tears and asked puzzledly: "Why don't you eat it?"
"Mom hasn't eaten for a few days, I want to leave it for her to eat."
"You eat it yourself, I will buy it for you later." Xiu'er touched Xu Ziqian's face and said heartbrokenly: "You are such a sensible child, but only when you have a full stomach can you have the strength to take care of your mother."
Xu Ziqian, who had been hungry for several days, took out a bun and ate it hungrily, "Thank you for your kindness, I will definitely repay you in the future."
After finishing a bun, Xu Ziqian returned the cotton coat and shoes to Xiu'er and hesitated: "Benefactor, can I not want these? You can give me some money to buy medicine."
"You keep the clothes, I'll buy you the medicine." Xiu'er hugged Xu Ziqian tightly and cried silently, "I'll buy the medicine for your mother."
Taking out a piece of gold, Xiu'er thrust it into Xu Ziqian's hand, "You keep this money. When your mother recovers from her illness, you can take her away."
Xu Ziqian kowtowed and apologized again. Xiu'er put on clothes and shoes for him, got up and went to the drug store to get some medicine. Unexpectedly, when he came back from the drug store, he saw a large group of beggars surrounding Xu Ziqian and started beating him.
The medicine in her hand fell to the ground. Xiu'er was about to rush over, but her hand was grabbed. When she turned around, she saw Zongzi with a cold face. She couldn't help but be surprised: "Why are you here?"
Zongzi said displeased: "Why do you think I'm here?"
"Let me go. Third brother is being beaten." Xiu'er pushed Zongzi's hand anxiously.
Zongzi held her back and said, "He was beaten because of you."
Xiu'er was stunned, "What do you mean?"
Zongzi held her hand tightly, preventing her from going forward to rescue Xu Ziqian who was being beaten. "It is destined to be eight buckets of rice. I will travel all over the world and not be satisfied with it."
"Ah..." Xu Ziqian's leg was interrupted by a beggar during the struggle, but he hugged the beggar's leg and refused to let go, "My money, my mother's life-saving money..."
Xiu'er's body went limp and fell to the ground. She finally understood what Zongzi said, but it was already too late.
"He is a beggar. Even if you give him gold and silver, it will not belong to him. If it weren't for your temporary soft-heartedness, he would not be bullied by the jealous beggars today, let alone have his feet broken."
"I...I didn't want to change his destiny, I just wanted him to have enough food and clothing..." Why would God deprive him of such a meager wish?
"If you can't control yourself, you will only hurt him worse."
Zongzi pulled Xiu'er up and disappeared at the corner of the street. Several packets of medicinal materials were scattered on the ground...
"Ah..." Blood gushed out from Xu Ziqian's mouth. In a state of confusion, he tightly held the adult beggar's trousers, "I... my money..."
The adult beggar raised his foot and kicked Xu Ziqian, "Bah, what I grabbed is mine."
"Shameless!" At some point, a teenage girl stood in the crowd and showed a hint of ridicule towards the adult beggar.
The girl had a stern look on her face and was wearing a fox fur coat. She was probably the daughter of a wealthy family, so the beggar did not dare to mess with her. He bowed his head and left with the gold he had snatched.
"Stop." The girl stretched out her hand to stop the beggar and snorted: "You can leave, but the money stays."
"What I robbed is mine." Gold is more valuable than life. The beggar has never seen gold in his life, so he dare not give it to him.
The girl waved her hand, and the whip came out from her sleeve. The beggar was caught in the air by the long whip and fell to the ground like a salted fish. The girl stepped forward and stepped heavily on the beggar's hand.
"Ah..." the beggar screamed, his palms were crushed by the girl, and blood seeped out.
The girl raised her foot and kicked away the beggar's broken palm, and kicked the bloody gold to Xu Ziqian's feet. Xu Ziqian held the gold with great taste and said, "Thank you, girl, for helping me."
"Hmph," the girl put away her whip and mocked, "Coward!"
Xu Ziqian lowered his head and struggled to stand up. He stopped talking and was covered in blood. He had nothing but a piece of gold.
He struggled towards the drug store, but his eyes went dark and he fainted.
The beggars who were looting were frightened by the girl's martial arts and fled away. Seeing the girl's murderous attitude, the onlookers did not dare to comment anymore and turned around and left.
"Young Master, I have found you." A middle-aged man came over in a hurry. Seeing the girl, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. "The leader is looking for you everywhere, let's leave quickly."
The girl turned around and followed the man away, but halfway there she stopped inexplicably. She turned around and walked back to Xu Ziqian, looking at the face covered in blood.
"Young Master" the man was surprised, "He is an insignificant beggar, we can't miss something important and leave."
"You go first." The girl whipped around Xu Ziqian's unconscious body, jumped up to the roof and disappeared from sight.
The man "Young Master" hurriedly used his Qinggong skills to catch up, but there was no sign of the girl.
The girl came to the river and threw Xu Ziqian on the grass. She sat on the ground and looked at the bloody man.
She sat and waited for a long time, but she still didn't see Xu Ziqian wake up. She felt a little annoyed, so she kicked him.
"Ah..." A black shadow was forced away from Xu Ziqian's body, and the long black hat rolled aside
"Brother Hei, what's wrong?" The white-faced ghost on the side saw Hei Wuchang being kicked away from Xu Ziqian by a girl, and immediately went over to help him up.
"It's weird, I can't seduce his soul." Hei Wuchang picked up his hat and looked at the girl with some surprise, "She is obviously just an ordinary human being, but she can hit me..."
Bai Wuchang said awkwardly: "She has a lot of evil energy, and no ordinary ghost or god can get close to her. But we didn't expect that she actually stopped us from seducing Xu Ziqian's soul. Xu Ziqian's life is over. If we can't seduce his soul, how can we deal with the King of Hell?"
"Let's discuss it later when we go back." The girl gave him a light kick and actually kicked half of his ghost life away. This man is definitely not a thing in the pool. As a mortal, he must have hidden secrets.
"Well..." The soul returned to Xu Ziqian. He opened his eyes in pain. What came to his ears was the sound of gurgling water. His whole body felt as uncomfortable as a car running over him, but he felt that there was a sharp gaze looking at him.
Xu Ziqian struggled to sit up and subconsciously checked the gold in his hand. Seeing that the gold was still in his hand, he breathed a sigh of relief.
The stranger looked around and saw the cold-faced girl staring at him. He smiled and said, "Thank you for saving me."
The girl ordered: "Wash your face clean"
Xu Ziqian was puzzled, but thinking that she was his savior, he climbed to the river to wash his face, and looked at the girl gratefully, "I wonder what the benefactor's name is?"
The girl looked at Xu Ziqian's face and felt it was strange yet familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen it before.
An inexplicable feeling surged from the bottom of her heart. The girl turned and left the river. The lame Xu Ziqian stumbled after her, "Sister, what is your name? I will never forget your life-saving grace today."
The girl stopped and said after a while: "Is it worth risking your life for a piece of gold?"
Xu Ziqian said bitterly: "Gold can save my mother's life."
The girl lowered her head, took off her phoenix blood bracelet, took out a bottle of medicine, turned around and threw it to him, "Fu Lan gave this to you."
Xu Ziqian bent down to pick up the bracelet that fell on the grass. He thought it was valuable and quickly raised his head and said, "Thank you Sister Fu for your kindness, but it's just too expensive..."
The riverside was deserted, with no trace of the girl.
Xu Ziqian held the bracelet cherished, but when he thought of his father who was addicted to gambling, he hesitated for a long time, dug a hole by the river and hid the phoenix blood bracelet, thinking that he would return it to her if he had the chance in the future.
At night, a black shadow quietly sneaked into the Hall of the King of Hell, passed through many mechanisms and flipped through the book of life and death, looking around with alert eyes, and quickly flipping through the book of life and death with his hands.
After a long while, his eyes rested on Xu Ziqian's words, and he was suddenly shocked. He reached out and was about to tear up the book of life and death...
"That's unreasonable!" came the angry voice of the King of Hell, and he hurriedly walked towards the Yama Hall.
The black shadow hurriedly put the book of life and death back to its original place, shrank behind the screen and hid, hiding his breath quietly without a trace.
The King of Hell walked in quickly, followed by Black and White Wuchang. He was so angry that he couldn't help but cursed: "Trash, you can't even seduce a soul, what are you doing for food!"
"Sir, we could have seduced Xu Ziqian's soul, but that woman is too powerful."
"That's enough, let me find out where she came from." The King of Hell took out the book of birth and death and flipped through the pages one by one. It took a long time to find Fu Lan's past and present life, and his face immediately turned pale. "O dear, it's her. No wonder you can't get close.
"She really shot herself in the foot this time. If she had known that Xu Ziqian would meet her, she should not have accepted the threat from the corpse world. If Xu Ziqian's soul cannot be hooked, it will disrupt the cycle of life and death. If this matter was
Heaven knows, even if he has ten heads, it's not enough to chop him off
"From now on, you two will always keep an eye on Xu Ziqian. No matter what the cost, you must capture his soul."
The King of Hell spoke, and Black and White followed the order and left.
The dark shadow quietly returned to the world. Standing in the rain, there was a strong smell of medicine in the front room of the thatched house, and the dim kerosene lamp flickered on and off.
"Mom, I've prepared the medicine. How many sips do you have?"
Listening to the familiar voice in the house, Xiu'er's heart that was hanging in mid-air finally calmed down. She used her hands to form a barrier outside the thatched house to prevent the black and white impermanence from entering.
It turns out that fate can be changed, but she is not the only one who changed the third brother's fate.
The book of life and death stated that the third brother froze to death in the market at noon today, and Xu Shun beat his wife three days later because he was drunk. During the resistance, Xu accidentally stabbed her husband to death with scissors, and she hung herself from the beam after losing her son.
However, the third brother did not die, but who changed his fate?
