"Ruier, are you here to take me away this time?"
When he said this, Lu Jun's face showed both anticipation and hesitation, but more importantly, he felt calm.
His father's dictatorship made him feel depressed, and his wife's death made him despair...
So now he doesn't care at all whether the wife in front of him is a human or a ghost, as long as he can take him out of this purgatory called "Family".
"Take me away!"
"It's like the first time you took me over the high wall and went to the downtown area..."
Whispering softly, Lu Jun's memory seemed to go back to the time when Rui'er first came to Lu Mansion.
At that time, she was so wild, free and easy, and was not disturbed at all by the sorrows and worries of the world.
"Husband, I am dead."
Rui'er also thought of that carefree and happy time, but Rui'er still said a fact firmly.
"Humans and ghosts have different paths. What I am now is just a lingering obsession. My real soul has already gone to the underworld."
In the Taoist concept, humans have three souls, namely the heaven soul, the earth soul, and the life soul.
These three souls are called Yang Shen, Yin Shen and Yuan Shen by some practitioners.
Among them, the heavenly soul and the earthly soul are often outside the body. Only at birth and death will they intersect with the physical body and produce the life soul with spiritual intelligence and consciousness.
The Taoist clairvoyance and wind-sighted ears, and the Buddhist clairvoyance and destiny knowledge are essentially the reunion and application of the two souls of heaven and earth by practitioners.
The "ghosts" that people often talk about are the products of the ghosts who inherit the obsessions and memories of the deceased when the seven souls dissipate and the soul of life is no longer alive.
It is precisely because of this that ordinary ghosts rarely have reason. They usually only have the obsessions of living people.
Theoretically speaking, after Pei Wende saved the red ghost, Rui'er should forget all past obsessions and return to the underworld to be reincarnated.
However, He Rui'er is not an ordinary person, but a century-old fox demon who has achieved great success in cultivation.
Even though she lacked the orthodox secret method of cultivation, Rui'er still relied on her own talent to reunite the seven souls and manifest the advanced form of the life soul - Yuan Shen.
Rui'er's current state is that she uses her last soul power to communicate with the heavenly souls everywhere in the world and talk to Lu Jun.
Of course, in addition to Rui'er's own powerful soul, the ability to achieve this is also due to the fact that Lu Mansion has now become the middle ground between yin and yang.
In this place that is gradually becoming a ghostland, the boundaries between life and death begin to be blurred.
Even ordinary people like Mr. Lu can manifest themselves briefly with the help of the rich Yin Qi here, let alone practitioners like Hu Ruier who have already achieved Yuan Shen.
"Ruier, do you hate me?"
After pursing his lips a few times, Lu Jun finally plucked up the courage to speak again after hesitating for a while.
"If it weren't for me, you would still be practicing in the mountains, right?"
Listening to Lu Jun's self-blaming murmur, Rui'er, who was caressing the other person's cheek, was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but let out a chuckle.
"Giggle...regret, why don't you regret it?"
It was unclear whether it was sadness or self-mockery, but as Rui'er's mood fluctuated, a red fox tail quietly appeared under the snow-white skirt.
"If it weren't for you, why would I give up my centuries-old cultivation?"
After a hundred years of hard work, all the hard work has been wasted, and the soul has disappeared. Rui'er is not willing to accept it!
"If it weren't for you, how could my parents have been innocently robbed?"
The experience of joining the world turned into a calamity of unrequited love, causing heavy casualties to the entire Weishan Fox clan. Rui'er regretted it very much!
"If it weren't for you, how could my unborn child become a monster that is neither alive nor dead?"
She had obviously made up her mind to become a qualified "mother", but in the end she couldn't even save her own child. Ruier was very angry!
"But... who told me to really fall in love with you?"
At this point, Rui'er's tone paused slightly, and the sharp voice became calm again at this moment.
"It is said that the union between a human and a demon will not lead to a happy ending..."
"I didn't believe this at first, but now I do."
Cultivation, family, and even the soul were all dissipated due to a love catastrophe. I am afraid that only practitioners who have personally experienced this feeling can understand the sadness.
"I'm not reconciled, I'm really unwilling..."
Sobbing with a mixture of laughter and sadness, Rui'er thought of herself, her clansmen who had re-entered reincarnation, and her unborn child.
"I am unable to resist the obstacles of humanity, but I must seize the glimmer of hope provided by heaven!"
Now, although Rui'er can't change what has happened to her, she can still intervene in some things that haven't happened yet.
"Husband, save our child."
As he spoke, Rui'er, whose body began to loosen gradually, pointed to the still shaking sarcophagus and murmured in a voice without any emotion.
"It is innocent, it has not been born yet, and it definitely does not deserve this kind of 'God's punishment'."
Looking in the direction Rui'er pointed, Lu Jun finally heard clearly the sound that was constantly coming from the sarcophagus.
At this moment, the sound that fell into Lu Jun's ears was not the sound of a fox that sounded like a baby crying, but was clearly the sound of a real baby crying.
"our children?"
Holding his head tremblingly, Lu Junyu asked in a low voice with a trembling voice.
"Our child...is still alive?"
Nodding affirmatively, Rui'er gently walked around behind her husband, and with difficulty but firmness untied the curtain that bound him.
"This sarcophagus was prepared by Xuan'er in advance to resurrect her lover..."
"The runes on it have the effect of binding the soul, so the obsession I left behind will turn into a terrifying ghost."
"Xuan'er has been invading the mourning hall before, in order to take back this sarcophagus and truly resurrect the scholar who was beaten to death by your father with a stick."
When she said this, Rui'er had completely untied the curtain on Lu Jun and softly explained to him everything that happened here.
"It's a pity that she was eventually used by the Taoist priest..."
"The Taoist priest lied to your father and said that he put my body into this coffin in advance and could use this sarcophagus to suppress my evil spirit."
"You know, the Taoist priest's ultimate goal is to use this sarcophagus and the fetus in my belly to completely open the door to the underworld and transform into ghosts and gods like a carp jumping over a dragon's gate."
At this point, the being in the sarcophagus seemed to realize his behavior and suddenly opened the heavy coffin lid.
Boom!
Along with a huge roar, a ferocious monster that looked like a fox but not a fox was seen crying in the sarcophagus, and the huge Yin Qi in the mourning hall was the aura transformed when its tears dissipated.
"Look, that's our baby."
"Our children are still 'alive', so you must live too."
"Live well and bring it up!"
