Chapter 41: Soul Ferrying Huangquan: Cruel Reality(1/2)
"Doctor Su, have a cup of tea."
Over the sea of sand, the west wind whistled, making terrifying whimpers, rolling up a hundred feet of sand.
In Mengpo Village, Sanqi, wearing a purple long skirt, came from the backyard to the lobby and at the judge's table.
"Let's put it here first." Su Jin looked up and smiled at her, and continued to bury his head and read the books in his hand.
"What are you looking at, Doctor Su." Sanqi put down the tea and sat down next to him. The fragrance immediately wrapped around Su Jin's whole body.
"Sanskrit, the Heart Sutra of All Heavenly Women's Great Transformation and Freedom." Su Jin smiled and said, "There was the experience of the twelve Heavenly Women who were enlightened. The Great Auspicious Heavenly Women held the divine egg in their hands and smashed the mountain hard. The egg broke out from the divine bird, named Jialing Pinga, and sang out loud. As I heard this, Bhagavan, who lived in the Pure Land, and was surrounded by countless Bodhisattvas, and preached the Dharma..."
Sanqi couldn't understand the meaning of the scriptures, but he liked to stay in the warm Mengpo Village when the cold wind was howling, and listened to him speak to himself without any haste. Even these obscure and complex scriptures became the simplest story when they came into her ears.
"Doctor Su, the tea is almost cold, you can drink it first." Taking advantage of the time when he finished speaking a goddess, Sanqi picked up the teacup on the table and said with a glittering look.
"Old Su, something big happened." Just as Su Jin just brought the teacup to his mouth, the door of the lobby was pushed open with a slam. Zhao Li, who was wearing military uniform and holding a long black knife on his waist, walked in with wind and sand and cold air, and said in a deep voice.
Looking at Dr. Su putting down the teacup again, a hint of annoyance flashed across Sanqi's face, and he looked at Zhao Li angrily, thinking that if what he said was not important and that he had ruined his good deeds, he would find an excuse to beat him up for three days!
"I just received the news that the front line was lost and Ksitigarbha entered the underworld." Zhao Li said in a deep voice.
Su Jin suddenly stood up from his seat and said, "Go to the underworld."
Sanqi looked at Doctor Su and touched his head, and resolutely took Zhao Li and the princess to leave Mengpozhuang, and suddenly became angry at the never-masked Ksitigarbha.
Buddhism is already very powerful in the two realms of heaven and man, so why do you still covet the underworld? There are things in the underworld, and there are things in the Western Heaven. They can’t live anymore, so why do you have to steal someone else’s?
No one gave her an answer, and Su Jin left for another three years.
"Bang!"
Mount Emei, outside the cave.
The old and hunched Chen Shi slapped Changsheng's face heavily and roared angrily: "Year after year, you made me wait for year after year, and I'm almost dead. I haven't waited for any signs of Sanqi getting married. Changsheng, do you want to just drag me to death?"
Changsheng knelt on the ground, with tears in his eyes: "Master, I don't mean this."
"I said last time, I'll give you a year, but how many years have passed now? Changsheng, you've disappointed me so much. Cough cough, cough cough..." Chen Shi said, suddenly covering his chest with one hand and his lips with the other, coughing violently. Between his fingers, a piece of blood ticked on the ground and fell into Changsheng's heart.
"Forget it, forgot, I won't force you anymore. Maybe it's my destiny to die of old age and illness. It's my destiny, which cannot be changed or reversed." After a long time, Chen Shi seemed to be ashamed and walked towards the cave heaven tremblingly.
"Bang..." Just as Changsheng felt guilty, he suddenly heard a fall sound in his ears. When he turned his head and looked, he was shocked and sweated in a cold sweat. He quickly flew up and landed beside the old man, shouting in a crying voice: "Master, Master, don't scare me..."
"This old thing is really like it." Not far away, Hua Ningxue's fingers were wrapped around a strand of black hair, and a curve appeared on the corner of her mouth.
But that’s good. It’s better to gain immortality earlier than to get a little later. There are more dreams at night.
...
Doctor Su, A Xiang, and Zhao Li all left, and my Mengpo Village became deserted again.
I look forward to them day and night that they can drive Ksitigarbha away as soon as possible and return to the manor, but I waited from day to night every day, but I didn't wait for them.
Moreover, for some reason, I haven't come for many days of immortality. I'm a little worried, but I have no way to find out about him in the world.
Although there are many evil ghosts who have come to Mengpozhuang these days, I have no appetite. Even if I am hungry, I will not cook and eat them even if I stick to my back. So I become thinner, which makes Wang Xiaolu and the others worry.
"Sanqi, have something to eat." At this time, Wang Xiaolu came over with a bowl of broth and said in a worried tone.
I smelled the aroma of the broth and suddenly felt nauseous. I shook my head stubbornly and said, "Don't eat, don't eat."
"You haven't eaten anything for many days. If you continue like this, you will get hungry." Wang Xiaolu coaxed and said, "You can eat a little bite, just one bite!"
If the person standing in front of me was Dr. Su, he specified that he would not coax me like this. If he glared at me, I would probably have eaten obediently. But now that was standing in front of me, he didn't dare to glar at me, so my attitude was a little arrogant: "If you don't eat, you will definitely not eat it, take it away quickly, this smell will scent me."
Wang Xiaolu was very helpless and had to pick up the bowl, turn around and walk out of the lobby.
...
On this day, the 800-mile old spring was shook, and the wind and thunder were shaken.
A sword light suddenly cut through the sky and landed in front of Mengpo Village.
"Changsheng?" Qi Yang walked out when he heard the movement and said in surprise: "Why are you here in this kind of weather?"
"Something happened at home, so I delayed it until today. I haven't seen Sanqi for a long time, and I miss it very much." Changsheng's face looked very bad, sallow and dry, and his face was covered in frost, but he still tried hard to squeeze out a smile.
"Sanqi is in the lobby, just go over to see her yourself." They are not outsiders, so Qi Yang was not polite to him. He wrapped his coat on his body and walked towards his room.
In this bad weather, drinking some hot wine and having a good sleep is the best enjoyment.
Changsheng watched his figure disappear, pursed his lips, and stepped into the main hall.
"Changsheng... It's you, long time no see." Behind the table, Sanqi had not tied his hair, Sanqi's black hair fell freely on his chest and back, supporting the table with one hand, holding his chin, and looking at the figure coming in without blinking.
"Sanqi, I have something to give to you." Changsheng looked around like a thief, and saw that there was no one inside and outside the lobby, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
"What?" Sanqi asked curiously.
"A fairy flower that can be brought into the underworld." Changsheng spread his palms at Sanqi, and a beam of radiant spirit flower suddenly appeared out of thin air above his palm, beautiful and incredible.
Sanqi was stunned for a moment, subconsciously raised his fingers and gently touched the spiritual flower.
With a bang, the spirit flower suddenly turned into countless lights and shadows and penetrated into her seven orifices. Sanqi was stunned for a moment. Just as he was about to say something, his eyelids became heavy like mountains. His eyes suddenly turned black and he fainted.
"I'm sorry, Sanqi, my master really can't wait anymore. I must ask for a Yin scroll as soon as possible and ticked off his name." Changsheng burst into tears, bent down and picked up Sanqi, walked towards her boudoir step by step, and placed her on the bed.
Changsheng walked to the windowsill and was silent for a long time. Finally, he returned to the bed, and his fingers trembled towards her waist.
"Doctor Su..." At this moment, Sanqi, who was sleeping in her dream, murmured softly.
Changsheng's body was as if struck by lightning. He suddenly reached out and slapped himself hard, knelt in front of the bed, crying silently.
Because he was afraid of attracting others, he didn't even dare to cry loudly.
"What am I... doing!" After a long time, his murmur with confusion and struggle sounded in the dim room.
Sanqi had a dream. In the dream, Dr. Su came back and his attitude towards her changed drastically. Not only did he pamper her, but he also obeyed her in a row and was commanded by her. Finally, they naturally got married. But just when they were in the wedding night, Dr. Su transformed into a long-lasting appearance, which scared her to wake her up.
"I'm scared to death, I'm scared to death." She suddenly sat up from the bed, Sanqi kept patting her chest, and Yu Guang suddenly glanced at a figure beside the bed, and his heart suddenly sniffed. He instinctively reached out and touched his clothes. He felt relieved when he saw that he had no sign of being passive.
If chastity is not guaranteed, she really doesn't know how to face Dr. Su in the future.
After breathing a sigh of relief, she recalled the scene before she fell asleep, her face slightly confused, and then said with complex eyes: "Changsheng, what are you doing?"
"boom!"
In the sky outside, the thunder clouds that had been nurtured for a long time finally fell a thick thunder, like a giant axe that opened the world, splitting the dim void and illuminating Changsheng's slightly thin face in an instant.
"Sanqi, I can't stand you." Changsheng said hoarsely: "I'm approaching you, but it actually has a purpose."
"What's the purpose?"
"The master who raised me and grew up is coming, and I want to borrow Yinjuan and tick his name away." Changsheng said.
"That's why you pursue me." Sanqi asked.
Changsheng nodded.
"So after I reject you, you will try every means to match Dr. Su and me, just to make the Yin Juan?"
Changsheng nodded with difficulty.
"So when you saw that the matchmaking failed, you got me stunned and wanted to do that kind of thing?"
Changsheng didn't even dare to lit his head this time, and lowered his head in shame.
Sanqi looked at him deeply and asked, "Why didn't you do it in the end?"
"You and Doctor Su have never done anything to be sorry for me, and I can't harm you." Changsheng said.
"Even if I am a fool, I know that you can't be soft-hearted when doing big things. Your soft-heartedness will lead to all your previous efforts and plans being wasted." Sanqi shook his head and said.
Changsheng smiled bitterly and said, "All the sins are in me, and I am not the kind of cruel person who can take on great responsibilities."
"You go, don't come to Huangquan again in the future. I think this thing and the past have never happened before." Sanqi said.
"No, I can't leave." Changsheng kowtowed to Sanqi: "If I just leave like this, my master will definitely die."
"What do you want?" Sanqi smiled speechlessly and asked.
"Please help me, please help me out the Yin scroll and get off my master's name. As long as you are willing to help me, I can do anything." Changsheng begged.
Sanqi shook his head and said, "The Yin Juan can only be invited on the day of Meng Po's wedding. Even if I want to help you, I am powerless! After all, Dr. Su refused to accept me, let alone marry me."
"Doctor Su has jumped out of the three realms, is not in the five elements, is immortal and immortal. He doesn't need to hook the name on the Yin scroll at all, so he promised me that he will not cause any loss to him." Changsheng said, paused slightly, and his voice gradually became deeper: "If you can accept it, we can secretly get married, and then hook my master's name without realizing it."
"I can't accept it." Sanqi said firmly: "Whether it's a real marriage or a fake marriage, I will not marry anyone except to marry Dr. Su."
Changsheng said: "Then I will kneel down here for a long time, so I will just kneel down and die here, and I will no longer have to think about so many things."
Sanqi: "…”
When Su Jin returned, the sky was bright and the wind and sand were not rising. It was a rare and good weather. But just as he entered the courtyard, he heard Wang Xiaolu sighing constantly.
"What are you doing?" Su Jin asked in confusion.
"Damn, who!" Wang Xiaolu was startled by him, shivered all over, and turned her head fiercely. After seeing that it was Su Jin, her face instantly changed from anger to joy, comparable to the national treasure: "It's Doctor Su, you are finally back, I miss you so much."
"Shut up." Su Jin kicked him and interrupted his stingy confession: "Why did you sigh just now?"
"It's not because of that boy Changsheng, he... Alas, you'd better go to see Sanqi. She herself can explain the twists and turns better." Wang Xiaolu said.
"What a mess." Su Jin shook his head and shouted loudly: "Sanqi!"
