In the empty room, Hu Shouyu and his wife disappeared with a burst of space fluctuations. They were replaced by two middle-aged men in black suits, and a confused little boy behind them, who was looking at the few people curiously. people.
The little boy was naturally Hu Xian, the son of Hu Shouyu and his wife. Different from the way he looked when he was lying on the bed, he looked much more lively at this time, but his figure appeared and disappeared a little, as if he was about to disappear.
But the two middle men who were closer couldn't see their faces clearly for some reason. Although they were only one or two meters away, their faces were always blurry.
"These two are the envoys from the underworld. There is a more popular saying in the human world, called black and white impermanence." As if knowing Su Jianxia's doubts, Wei Ziqi quickly explained.
Su Jianxia nodded, "I thought black and white were both black and white."
"Times are changing, and there must always be unified uniforms." Wei Ziqi was stunned for a moment, but still gave a seemingly reasonable explanation, "Similar to the system."
Su Jianxia nodded, expressing understanding, and quickly turned her attention to the little boy who was staring at him, bent down and waved, "Hello, kid, your name is Hu Xian, right?"
Hu Xian blinked, "How do you know?"
"Because your parents told me." Su Jianxia squinted and smiled, "They asked my sister to take you home."
"Sister, do you know my parents?" Hu Xian couldn't help but take a few steps forward, his eyes full of surprise.
Su Jianxia reached out and took Hu Xian's hand, pulling him away from Black and White Wuchang. Black and White Wuchang looked at each other, as if they wanted to say something, but saw Wei Ziqi's eyes looking at the two of them. Then he immediately closed his mouth.
"Of course I know you, sister. Your father's name is Hu Shouyu and your mother's name is Cheng Lianzhi, right?"
"Yes, yes, sister, I haven't seen my parents for a long time. These two uncles said that I will never see them again. Is it true?" Hu Xian just became excited, and suddenly frowned, and felt a little worried. sad.
Su Jianxia rubbed Hu Xian's head, "Of course not. If you listen to my sister, my sister will take you back to your parents, okay?"
Hu Xian raised his head in surprise, nodded repeatedly and said, "Don't worry, sister, I will definitely listen to my sister. My mother said that I am the most obedient child."
"Of course sister believes in you." Su Jianxia stood up and stretched out his hand to pull Hu Xian behind him.
"Master Ziqi, this..." Seeing Su Jianxia's actions, Hei Bai Wuchang finally couldn't help but ask.
"I want to take away this child's soul. If the matter cannot be resolved in a few days, you can come over and take him to reincarnation." Wei Ziqi's voice was very soft, but it gave the two of them an unquestionable feeling.
The two hesitated for a while, then spoke carefully, "Master Ziqi, you also know the rules of our underworld. After death, everyone should be sent to the underworld to be reincarnated. Once this life is over, it is over. How can we send them back?" It makes sense... not to mention that in this child's life and death book, his life span will end today, this is his life."
"Don't say what I said a second time." Wei Ziqi's voice gradually turned cold, "Go back and tell your King of Hell, just say it was what I meant."
The two gritted their teeth and seemed to want to say something more. An invisible pressure suddenly hit them from above, forcing them to kneel on the ground unable to move.
It had only been more than a hundred years since the two of them entered the underworld. Although they had already seen the deeds of this gentleman in some ancient myths, biographies and historical records, it was only now that they faced him in person that they realized how terrifying this gentleman really was. Just their own pressure almost made the two of them breathless.
"I'm sorry, Lord Ziqi, we will report the truth truthfully when we get back." After squeezing these words out of his mouth with difficulty, the pressure on the two of them slowly dissipated.
Black and White Wuchang looked at each other, not daring to look at Wei Ziqi any longer. He lowered his head and bowed before disappearing from the spot.
After Su Jianxia watched Black and White Wuchang leave, she patted Hu Xian's shoulder and said, "How about you sleep well first? You can see your parents when you wake up."
Hu Xian blinked, a little confused, "Why do you have to wake up to see it?"
"Don't worry about all the reasons, just listen to your sister. Didn't you just say that you would listen to your sister?"
"I understand, sister." Hu Xian nodded, "But what should I do if I can't sleep now."
"It's okay, just close your eyes."
Su Jianxia narrowed her eyes and smiled, and patted Hu Xian's head twice. Hu Xian felt that his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, and he quickly closed his eyes and fell into Su Jianxia's arms.
Wei Ziqi waved his hands gently, and the surrounding space fluctuated again. Hu Shouyu and his wife reappeared in the same place, circling around the room with nervous faces. The little boy in Su Jianxia's arms also turned into an invisible wave. The light returned to Hu Xian who was lying on the bed.
"Mr. Wei, Miss Su, you just..." Hu Shouyu and Cheng Lianzhi froze when they saw Wei Ziqi and Su Jianxia suddenly disappearing and then reappearing.
Su Jianxia did not answer the two people's questions, but pointed to Hu Xian who was lying on the bed, "Go and have a look, your son should be awake by now."
Hu Shouyu and Cheng Lianzhi looked at each other. Without any time to think, they hurried to the bed and looked nervously at Hu Xian, whose face gradually turned from pale to rosy, with wide eyes.
After a while, Hu Xian moved his fingers and coughed violently, then slowly opened his eyes.
"Dad, Mom." Seeing the two familiar faces beside the bed, Hu Xian cried "Wow".
"Xian'er!" Cheng Lianzhi could no longer control his emotions, tears burst out, and he hugged Hu Xian tightly on the bed, for fear of losing this beloved son again.
Seeing the mother and son hugging each other, Hu Shouyu's eyes were a little moist. Although he stretched out his hands, he hesitated and stopped in mid-air. Vukong hugged the mother and son, and then quietly wiped the corners of his eyes. He stood up gently and walked to Wei Ziqi and Su Jianxia.
"Mr. Wei, thank you for saving my son. This child is really important to us as a couple. Lian Zhi and I only have one child. This is the only bloodline of the Hu family. If he is born, If something happens, then the Hu family will really break up." Hu Shouyu looked at Wei Ziqi and bowed deeply.
Wei Ziqi shook his head, "I just brought his soul back temporarily and sealed it into my body again, but this is not a long-term solution. The only way to solve the problem is the two paths I told you last time.
The situation in your family now should be more serious than what you told us. You and your wife should also be infected with this disease. More than half of the young and middle-aged people in the entire family have been killed or injured. Although the elderly, women and children are better, they are still better. It probably won't last long. If it weren't for your son dying, you probably wouldn't have made this call to me. "
Hu Shouyu lowered his head, with a somewhat painful expression, "I know that I am too selfish. For my own selfish desires and my own interests, I ignore the entire family. I say that I cannot let the family decline, but when the family encounters If I still dare not stand up in such a big disaster, I am a coward."
"It's too late to say this now. It's not easy to save your son temporarily. The rest, whether you can prevent things from developing in a more serious direction depends on your own choice." Su Jianxia He glanced at Cheng Lianzhi, who was holding Hu Xian by the bed and unwilling to let go, and sighed, "You still have a wife and children. Although it is very unfair for you to sacrifice, some things always need someone to sacrifice. "
"It's just that I don't understand, after so many years, why it's me." Hu Shouyu hugged his head.
"The sins sown in the past life will always be paid back in this life." Wei Ziqi said for no reason.
Hu Shouyu was stunned for a moment, then raised his head to look at Wei Ziqi, "Mr. Wei, what did you just say? Does the evil I did in my previous life have anything to do with my previous life?"
Wei Ziqi did not answer, "That's not the point. Tell me your choice. Are you willing to form a blood contract with that jade statue, or dissolve this contract that has entangled your family for thousands of years."
There was a long silence this time. Hu Shouyu stood there with a struggling look on his face. He opened his mouth several times, but nothing came out.
Wei Ziqi and Su Jianxia were not in a hurry. They found two random chairs in the room. One closed his eyes and began to relax, and the other took out his mobile phone and started watching videos. Such a tense atmosphere seemed to have no effect on them.
About an hour later, Hu Shouyu shook his numb legs, and took a trembling step forward, ready to tell the two of them his decision.
"dad."
Hu Xian's crisp voice interrupted Hu Shouyu's steps. Hu Shouyu looked down at his son holding her thigh and asked curiously, "Dad, where are you going?"
Hu Shouyu rubbed his son's head and tried to make his smile appear natural, "Dad went out to do some errands with my uncle and sister and will be back soon."
Hu Xian tilted his head and looked at Wei Ziqi and Su Jianxia who were sitting not far away, his eyes lit up, "Dad, I have seen this uncle and sister, as if in my dream, they are amazing, they I brought back two bad guys.”
Su Jianxia raised her head, met Hu Xian's gaze, squinted and smiled, "I still remember my sister."
Hu Xian nodded quickly, "Sister, you said that I would be able to see my parents if I obeyed, and now I really can."
"Sister won't lie. Now your dad wants to go out with your sister. The two bad guys were still nearby just now. Let's go with your dad to drive them away." Su Jianxia coaxed the child seriously. .
"Dad, is it true?" Hu Xian looked at Hu Shouyu innocently again.
"Of course it's true. Only by driving away all the bad guys will Xian'er no longer be in danger." Hu Shouyu nodded and quickly looked away, not daring to look at Hu Xian again.
"Then will daddy come back?"
"Of course I will. Dad also said that he will take Xian'er to the beach to see dolphins in the future. Dad will definitely come back."
"Then Dad must keep his word!" Hu Xian nodded heavily and then let go of Hu Shouyu's thigh.
"Okay Xian'er, come to mom, don't pester dad all the time." Cheng Lianzhi, who had been beside the bed, also came over, gently pulled Hu Xian behind him, and held Hu Shouyu's hand tightly with his other hand. .
"Husband, I know this matter may not be easy to solve, but no matter what decision you make, I will support you, but before making a decision, you must remember that Xian'er and I are waiting for you at home."
Looking at the worried eyes of his wife who was with him day and night, Hu Shouyu knew that she must have guessed that something bad would happen, but she still chose to support him without hesitation.
Thinking of this, Hu Shouyu felt that he could not control his emotions. He quickly turned his head, not daring to let his wife and son see his tears. Then he squeezed his wife's hand heavily to tell her not to worry, and then strode towards Wei Zi Qihe. Su Jianxia.
Su Jianxia sighed and handed Hu Shouyu a piece of paper.
Hu Shouyu thanked him, took the paper and wiped his tears, then lowered his head and said, "I know it may be selfish to say this. I have already made a decision to sacrifice myself to be with the woman in the jade statue. Signing a blood contract allows the family to continue to prosper, but I still have a wife and children. They are the people I love most in this world, and I don’t want to be separated from them. So Mr. Wei, I want to ask you, can you Will you help me terminate this contract forever?"
"Have you thought about it?" Wei Ziqi asked casually, as if he had already guessed the result.
"Think about it." Hu Shouyu nodded.
"You'd better go to the store to find me in two days. I'll take you to meet someone." Wei Ziqi stood up and said, "Let's have a good get-together with the family in the next two days."
Hu Shouyu was stunned and said quickly: "Thank you, thank you, thank you very much."
Wei Ziqi waved his hand and walked out the door. Su Jianxia behind him made a face at Hu Xian, smiled, and quickly followed.
"Uncle, will Hu Shouyu still die if the contract is terminated?" Su Jianxia asked curiously.
"I'm not sure either." Wei Ziqi shook his head, "This jade statue was made by an old friend of mine, and a very resentful evil spirit was sealed inside. That evil spirit killed many people before. Until she was met by this friend of mine, because her resentment was too strong to eliminate her directly, she sealed her soul in a jade statue and buried it deep underground.
I originally thought that after hundreds of years of consumption, the evil spirit's resentment had been completely eliminated, and it would not be too late to send her into reincarnation, but I didn't expect that the ancestors of the Hu family would dig up this jade statue from the ground. He took over his own family and supported her with his own flesh and blood for thousands of years.
After thousands of years of support, the power of this resentful spirit can only be said to be stronger than before, so I may have to go find my friend to solve this problem. "
"Uncle, you are so powerful, why can't you just destroy this evil spirit?"
“Theoretically it’s possible, but there are some other reasons.
Evil spirits are not evil spirits at the beginning, especially when this kind of resentment accumulates. It must be due to some reasons that the resentment is too heavy and turns into evil spirits after death.
The woman in this jade statue actually suffered... some unspeakable pain before she died. "
Su Jianxia thought thoughtfully, "Then the Hu family must be so unjust. They have to bear the consequences of the evil spirits created by others."
"It's not an injustice at all. If the ancestor of the Hu family hadn't been obsessed with it and used his own flesh and blood to sign a life-long contract with the jade statue for the sake of the family's long-term prosperity, the jade statue wouldn't have stayed in the Hu family forever.
Moreover, the first generation head of the Hu family has a deep connection with the woman in the jade statue. "
"It can't be..." Su Jianxia suddenly had a bold guess in his heart.
Wei Ziqi nodded, "There is no retribution in this world that comes to you for no reason. As long as you have done some things, even if it is a hundred or a thousand years later, retribution will come to you."
Su Jianxia turned around and looked at the stilted building behind her. On the fourth floor, she could vaguely see Hu Shouyu's family hugging each other. The woman was crying with joy, the man was smiling with concern, and the child was looking innocent.
"I hope they can cherish these two days." Su Jianxia only felt a little regretful, "By the way, uncle, what kind of person is your friend? Why do I never seem to hear you mention it?"
Wei Ziqi thought for a while and said concisely: "He is a very free person."
"free?"
"He has always been a very undisciplined person, keeping aloof from the world and not caring about worldly affairs. It's hard to describe his character, and I haven't seen him for many years.
The last time we met was probably... eighty years ago? It was still during the Anti-Japanese War. "
"Does he live far away from us?"
"It's not far, it's in the mountains outside Suzhou. It's just that he opened up an isolated space for himself, and took his seven wives there to grow vegetables and have fun. He doesn't like to communicate with the outside world. touch."
Su Jianxia nodded, and soon seemed to realize something, and quickly raised his head, "What did you just say? Seven wives? Seven???"
Wei Ziqi looked confused, "What's the point? In our era, a man can have many women."
Su Jianxia turned her head and narrowed her eyes, "Oh? Listen to this, how many more women do you want to have?"
Wei Zi opened his eyes and walked forward without squinting, "Don't talk nonsense, I have never had a woman."
"I don't believe your nonsense. You've lived for thousands of years and have never been in love." Su Jianxia snorted coldly, "I think the woman named Xu today is very good. She has a mature style and is very similar to you." Worthy."
"What's Xu?" Wei Ziqi frowned and quickly searched for people named Xu in his mind.
"I just saw you this morning and forgot about you. What a liar, old man." Su Jianxia obviously didn't believe it.
Wei Ziqi opened his mouth with a strange expression on his face.
