After he came down from the mountain, he searched for us and found traces of a fight and his footprints in my yard. Only then did he conclude that he had caused us trouble.
Only then did I shake my head and said: "Uncle Zhang, this has already happened. There is no point in regretting it. You made the mistake with good intentions. Taoist Master Liu arranged for you to go to Changqing Taoist Temple to rest for a period of time. Li Yinyang will not You should be okay with letting you go for no reason, right?"
Zhang Er nodded and said: "Of course not." I breathed a sigh of relief, then looked back at Yang Xing, and then looked at the passage on the other side of the City God's Temple. After a moment of silence, I continued: "Can you let Gu Ruolin go?" What?"
Zhang Er shook his head and nodded again.
Then he said: "You can only release the soul. Except for that soul, she belongs here."
"Ruolin doesn't belong here." Yang Xing said coldly.
Zhang Er glanced at him, then looked at me and said, "Sixteen, how much do you know about Gu Kaiyang and Gu Ruolin back then?"
I answered truthfully and told Zhang Er about the soul-changing incident. I did not hide it from Zhang Er, saying that it was a matter investigated by Feng Bao.
As soon as I finished saying this, the first person whose expression changed was Yang Xing.
His eyes widened and he looked at me in astonishment. His lips moved, but Yang Xing could not speak.
Zhang Er nodded and then said: "My wife died young. I once had a daughter, but her soul was incomplete and she was born with defects. If she wants to recover, she needs to nourish her soul, but raising her soul is not that easy. If the body has no soul, it means death. When the person's life span is exhausted, the underworld will erase the book of life and death."
"It happened that Gu Kaiyang of the Gu family came to me through the Feng family. His daughter had a strange disease that was incurable."
"After I looked at it, I found that she was extremely ill, her body was damaged, and she couldn't keep her soul."
"I also discovered at that time that his daughter's fate was similar to my daughter's. After my daughter's soul leaves the body, maybe she can enter the body to maintain her life."
"At the time, this was the best of both worlds. Twenty years later, my daughter's soul has been well-reserved."
Zhang Er's words were extremely simple, and he could basically explain the matter clearly in a few words.
But I never expected that this would be the result...
In this case, I don’t know what to say...
On the left is Gu Ruolin, on the right is Zhang Er's daughter. How can I choose?
Force Zhang Er to release him? Will Zhang Er break up with me?
But watching him let Gu Ruolin's soul leave her body was equivalent to death...
Yang Xing's voice was extremely hoarse: "It's been twenty years. It's been twenty years. I can give you money. Shouldn't the past things be in the past?" Zhang Er ignored Yang Xing.
He suddenly looked at me deeply and said, "Sixteen, do you really want to save Gu Ruolin's life?"
"Uncle Zhang can listen to you on this matter."
A moment ago, Zhang Er clearly said that he would not release people, only souls, but now he said to listen to me.
My heart became even more depressed, and I became silent for a moment.
"Luo Shiliu." Yang Xing turned to look at me, his voice was trembling, and his eyes were full of hope.
I didn't answer Yang Xing immediately.
Zhang Er also looked at me. His expression seemed much calmer, as if he had no emotions.
"Luo Shiliu!" Yang Xing's voice became louder, the veins on his forehead were bulging, and he looked at me with a fierce look.
I felt very difficult and a little powerless.
"Yang Xing, I can't choose, I'm sorry." I replied in a low voice. I said this sentence with almost no effort or energy.
Yang Xing looked at me with only disappointment and disgust.
"Uncle Zhang, is there really no compromise?" I turned to Zhang Er and asked.
Zhang Er shook his head and said: "There is really no way, maybe... if you can tell me whether my daughter has other chances of life? If my daughter has other chances of life, Uncle Zhang will not embarrass you, otherwise this The decision still has to be made by you.”
My heart froze, I nodded and said something.
Zhang Er immediately turned around and headed towards the corridor.
Yang Xing grabbed my arm with extra force, almost to the point of breaking my arm. Before I could struggle, he let go again.
I had nothing to say to Yang Xing, so I followed Zhang Er inside.
Not long after, we arrived at the same room as last time.
Gu Ruolin was still lying on the bed motionless.
Zhang Er was sitting by the bed. His expression was particularly complicated and a bit sentimental, and then he whispered a few words, which were the birth dates.
I took out the golden abacus from my body.
Now I only have a gold abacus, a book, and a ground pen. The inkstone and the fixed compass are both in Li Yinyang's hands. The objects that are comparable in size can be regarded as equally divided among us.
Silently reciting the birth date in my mind, I moved my fingers on the golden beads.
Soon, a hexagram formed on the abacus.
"Working up and down, Heaven and Fire are the same people, this is a hexagram of the same people."
The moment the hexagram settled, my heart was pounding.
Yang Xing looked straight at the abacus in my hand, obviously unable to suppress the eagerness on his face.
I looked at the hexagram images intently, almost immersed in interpreting the hexagrams.
Soon, I figured out the meaning of this hexagram.
There are actually not many hexagrams in the bone diagram. If a hexagram fits the events at that time, there will be different interpretations.
In the case of Zhang Er's daughter and Gu Ruolin, this sentence can be used to explain the hexagram. Things cannot end, so they are accepted as companions.
"Uncle Zhang, can you..."
I looked up at Zhang Er, but suddenly I realized that Zhang Er had been looking at me just now.
No, he was not looking at me, but at the golden abacus in my hand.
His eyelids were half-closed, and I couldn't clearly see the expression in his eyes, but I felt a slight throbbing in his eyes, which made me suddenly uneasy.
I put away the abacus with my backhand and put it close to my body.
"Sixteen, why don't you say anything anymore? Uncle Zhang is listening." Zhang Er didn't move, and his eyes and gaze remained the same.
Did I feel wrong just now? Zhang Er was actually looking at me, but he was just talking about the half-lowered eyelids, and I was indeed too cautious, so I misunderstood him?
The current situation is special, and I must be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years. I put aside the messy thoughts in my mind and directly explained the results of the hexagram.
And I asked Zhang Er directly if he could let Gu Ruolin carry her daughter's soul with her. Since they are the same person, maybe the two of them could complement each other.
Zhang Er nodded and said directly: "Since this is your divination, then do it according to the hexagram. Maybe it's a chance."
At this moment, Yang Xing didn't say much else and lowered his head.
But I always feel something is wrong.
There was something wrong with Zhang Er's promise, something wrong with him blaming this matter on me...
It's just that I can't figure out what's wrong.
