After all, Shopkeeper Ma was still thinking about the relationship between father and son, so he hurriedly asked: "What kind of opportunity is this?"
Gong Mengbi said: "The Wutong Gods have done many evil things, and God will punish them sooner or later. But before that, someone must collect evidence of their crimes. If your son finds out that he has lost his way and is willing to help, I can report it to the Yue Mansion and deal with it leniently. Although We can’t save his life, but we can keep his moral character, which can be regarded as a chance to escape.”
"If he persists in his stubbornness and wholeheartedly surrenders to the evil god, and must be controlled by him, and turns into a demon who helps the evil spirits, then I have no choice."
Although shopkeeper Ma cared about the family relationship between father and son, he was not sure that Ma Zengguang would be able to return from his lost ways. He could only say with tears: "Please let us persuade him properly."
Gong Mengbi said: "I will help you. Even if you refuse to look back, I will help you escape."
Shopkeeper Ma shed tears sadly, but Huan'er had given up.
Gong Mengbi sighed softly, willing to give this opportunity just for the sake of his natural auspiciousness and the shadow of his ancestors, but other than that, he was not prepared to do anything extra.
Gong Mengbi knew that he had some bad habits of being a teacher, but he was not yet at the point where he wanted to exonerate sinners who were deeply mired in greed and stained with blood.
Even for the Rakshasa Ghost Mother and the Skull God, the consequences of evil must come first, and then the evil will not be accomplished before he is willing to do things such as punishing past mistakes and avoiding future ones, and treating illnesses and saving people.
The young master's retribution has not yet come, and his greed has not disappeared. Even if Gong Mengbi is willing to rescue him, he may not be willing to give up his thousands of dollars.
But there are advantages to success, and there are advantages to failure. Gong Mengbi has already made two plans.
When we got back from the flower boat, it was already the fourth watch.
Ma Zengguang got into the room and called Huan'er's name. When he saw no response, he paused again, showing a somewhat disgusted expression.
He seemed to be glad that no one answered, no one slept with him.
But he didn't know that in the smoke-filled room that he couldn't see, his parents and wife were watching him.
Huan'er covered her mouth to silence herself, but she couldn't stop her tears.
The old lady held her in her arms and patted her back gently, crying silently.
There has never been a more embarrassing time than this. The old lady has been kind to others in her life and has never felt so embarrassed as she does now.
Shopkeeper Ma was trembling with anger and his lips were mumbling, but his words seemed extremely pale and weak at this moment.
Gong Mengbi narrowed his eyes and blew a puff of smoke.
It was getting dark, and Ma Zengguang was sleeping soundly when he heard a violent knock on the door.
He cursed angrily: "Don't let anyone sleep so early in the morning!"
A cry came from the door: "Mom and dad are gone! Ma Zengguang, mom and dad are gone!"
Ma Zengguang was startled and crawled out of bed. When he opened the door, he saw Huan'er crying and out of breath.
He hurried to Shopkeeper Ma's room without saying a word, and sure enough he saw his old parents lying quietly on the bed, without making any sound.
He knelt on the ground with a plop, feeling extremely painful in his heart, and cried: "Father, mother!"
He just cried and howled, but not a single tear fell.
The old couple was buried in a grand ceremony, and a mourning hall was set up at home.
The Wutong God occupies the main hall, and the mourning hall can only be located in the side hall.
Huan'er had shed all her tears, and it seemed like there was only an empty shell left in her body. She kept vigil for her parents-in-law and refused to sleep the whole night.
Ma Zengguang felt uncomfortable and cursed: "Can you go and take a nap? It's my parents who died, and I'm here to protect them. Do you need to act like this here?"
Huan'er's eyes were empty, and he managed to regain his composure and said, "It's you who made my parents so angry."
Ma Zengguang was furious and slapped Huan'er on the face.
Huan'er had long since lost the strength to support herself and knocked her head against the coffin, causing her forehead to bleed.
She suddenly laughed and said, "Ma Zengguang, just watch, just watch!"
She staggered out of the door. Not long after, Ma Zengguang saw Huan'er hanging in her parents' room. Her mourning clothes were white and the blood on her head was red.
Ma Zengguang only felt a buzzing sound in his head, feeling pain but also relief.
All alone for one day.
Ma Zengguang was so tired that he fell asleep while keeping vigil.
In just a brief dream, he saw his old parents coming to see him with shackles on their backs.
Ma Zengguang asked: "Mom and dad, why are you wearing shackles on your back?"
The old parents cried: "You worshiped the evil gods of Wutong in order to obtain wealth, and your virtues were taken away by them, and you still owe a lot of debts. We will become slaves after we die and suffer to pay off the debts."
"Son, please turn back! Otherwise, not only our ancestors will be affected, but also our descendants will be burdened with debts that will make it difficult for them to stand up."
After waking up, Ma Zengguang walked up to Wutong God and asked, "Why are my parents suffering in the underworld?"
Wutong Shendao: "Your wealth is not free. If you are destined to have no wealth, you will naturally have to borrow Yin debt. If you are rich throughout your life, your ancestors will have to repay it for eighteen generations."
Ma Zengguang's lips trembled and he asked, "Can't you let my parents go?"
Wu Tongshen said: "Of course. If you are willing to give up your glory and wealth and repay the borrowed Yin debt, of course you can redeem your parents. But after nine outings and thirteen returns, if the borrowed Yin debt is not enough to repay the debt, you still have to pay it back. It depends on your luck in life. If you are willing to live in poverty and misery for the rest of your life, we can also let your parents go free."
Ma Zengguang went out in a daze and got drunk all day long.
He no longer married or had children, and he continued to be wealthy and wealthy.
Until he reached middle age, suddenly the government officials came to arrest him and said: "Ma Zengguang, you have committed a crime!"
Ma Zengguang was horrified and asked, "What have I committed?"
The sufferer came to complain. First, a woman said, "You killed my husband and took away the Buddhist scriptures. You must compensate my husband!"
Several more old people said: "Our sons were brothers to you, but you killed them. You have to pay for their lives."
Ma Zengguang was sent to prison. In prison, he shouted the name of the God of Five Powers and cursed: "You didn't keep your promise. You promised to be rich and prosperous for a lifetime. Why did you put me in jail?"
The God of Five Powers appeared and said: "If you are unwilling to marry and have children, and your debts cannot be repaid, of course you can only be guaranteed prosperity and wealth in the first half of your life. As for the second half of your life, you will still be in poverty."
Ma Zengguang said: "I am willing to marry a wife and have children!"
The God of Five Powers laughed heartily and said, "If you had told me earlier, you would be blessed with more children."
The laughter of Wutong Shen gradually faded away, and Ma Zengguang came out of prison in a daze. Not only was he fine, but he also received a compensation.
As he walked on the road, he felt that the sun was very dazzling.
Suddenly, a Taoist priest appeared in front of Ma Zengguang, blocked his way, and said, "Donor, you are haunted by evil spirits."
Ma Zengguang came back to his senses and said: "What evil spirits are there? Don't talk nonsense."
The Taoist priest shook his head and said: "Donor, Wutong is very harmful to people and has endless poison. Only by turning around as soon as possible can we be freed."
Ma Zengguang suddenly grabbed the Taoist priest's sleeve and asked, "Taoist priest, do I still have a chance to turn back?"
The Taoist priest replied: "Let go of greed and glory, and naturally there will be a chance for liberation."
Ma Zengguang thought of the suffering during this period in prison. It would be harder for him to go back to those terrible days than to kill him.
He unconsciously let go of his hands and forced a smile: "I know it well, I know it well."
He hurriedly ran away from the Taoist priest, fearing that the Taoist priest would catch up.
But the Taoist priest just looked at him and said: "Although the rain is heavy, it cannot moisten the rootless grass; although the Taoism is broad, it can only help those who are destined."
"Poor, hateful."
But Ma Zengguang left in a hurry and could no longer hear this.
