God is here

Chapter 54 Tell a Story
Seeing Lu Ya being so cautious, Mu Xiaoxing couldn't help but ask, "Where is she going?"

Lu Ya returned to the room with his hands behind his back: "Why don't you just take a walk around here?"

Where else can I go?Could it be that she still wants to go on a date with the man surnamed Lin all over Kyushu?

When Mu Jiu arrived at the Nantian Gate, Lin Jianru was already waiting, and when he saw her, he smiled slightly, showing no emotion.

There is a teleportation formation to go to the mortal world under the gate of heaven, because it is approved, so you can enjoy it.After handing in a note to the Heavenly General at Tianmenkou for record, the two will activate the formation and go to Luoyang, the capital of the Ning Dynasty.

This is a space parallel to the Sui, Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties where Mu Jiu lived, and the names of the places are the same.

It was the season of spring breeze and green dikes, and the Shangsi Festival was another big event in the Ning Dynasty, but it looked like Chen Shi, and the banks of the Luoshui River were now full of young men and women in twos and threes.

The folk customs of the Ning Dynasty were relatively conservative, and boudoir women seldom had the opportunity to go out on weekdays.

But on the Shangsi Festival, they are allowed to go out to play, and they will not be accused of contacting unmarried men.Literary freshmen will play music on the riverside of Luoshui River, express their hearts with the harp, or show their talents, while the fans are more direct, and they will express their love by stepping on their heels or pulling their hair, and of course there are more Directly, it is not enough.

All in all, the Shangsi Festival is like the Valentine's Day of later generations. Every time after it passes, there will always be some scandalous news, but the court can't do anything about it, because it is said that the emperor and the queen met on the Shangsi Festival. If this custom is banned, how can it be Don't slap your mouth.

Fortunately, if the trouble is caused by a famous family, they will cover up the matter in private. If it is a commoner family, then they can simply get married, and there is nothing difficult to solve.So the emperor opened his eyes and closed his eyes, and everyone was happy.

As Mu Jiu walked along the embankment, he heard the above gossip.

Of course, in addition to gossip, there are also many stalls selling things along the way.

Mu Jiu walked around and discussed with Lin Jianru from time to time, but Lin Jianru was absent-minded along the way and didn't know what he was thinking.

And he didn't stop, when he got under the Jiuqu Bridge, he suddenly raised his head, pointed to an alley on the right and said, "Let's go inside for a walk."

The alley is just a very ordinary narrow alley, the bluestone road is winding and winding, and there are two-story wooden buildings on both sides. The wide ditch between the wooden building and the stone road reflects its old shadow.There are some moss growing on the walls of the house, as well as tenacious creepers, as well as wild chrysanthemums and winter jasmines that can be seen everywhere.

On both sides, there are clothes drying on bamboo poles, and there are also the sounds of women beating and scolding children.

Seeing Ru's focus on nothing else, Lin stopped in front of a low courtyard wall in the middle of the alley.

Under the courtyard wall, an old woman with disheveled white hair was sitting in the sun looking through the fleas in her clothes. When she found it, she happily rolled it into her mouth and bit it. The crunching sound could be heard from far away.Suddenly a cat with salted fish came out of the courtyard. The old woman took off her rag shoes and chased after him: "You bastard! Let you steal my salted fish!"

Mu Jiu didn't understand why Lin Jianru stopped here, looked up at him, but saw pain in his slightly drooping eyes.

Her heart moved slightly, and she said, "You know her?"

Lin Jianru pursed his lips tightly and said nothing.

Mu Jiu looked at the old woman again, with her back bent and slovenly, she was no different from a dull woman in the market.

"She is my mother." Just when Mu Jiu gave up exploring, Lin Jianru suddenly spoke.

"Your mother?" Mu Jiu was in a mess.He has lived for 400 years, is this old woman also cultivating immortality?

"This is her offspring." Lin Jianru glanced at her, his voice became deep and his smile was a bit tragic: "Would you like to hear me tell a story?"

Mu Jiu couldn't refuse to listen, so he nodded.

Lin Jianru said: "My mother was originally the daughter of a salt merchant in the capital city of Zijiu in the east of Kyushu. When she was 15 years old, she was frightened by a mountain monster and fell into a coma for many days. So my grandfather asked Mingyuan Sect to send people down the mountain to eliminate the monster. Lin Xie took the order and came Come on, in the end he concealed his wife, tricked my mother into losing her virginity for him, and then I was born."

At this point he paused, then laughed again: "Later my grandfather found out that she was pregnant and forced her to recruit a man. The wife’s family and the wife’s family are very powerful. My mother gave birth to me prematurely due to fatigue and shock, and then Lin Xie put poison in the soup. Poor her followed Lin Xie without complaint and regret, and she didn’t know how she died in the end.

"But Lin Xie did more than that."

He looked faintly at the old woman who was beating the cat not far away, "He was afraid that after my mother's death, the ghost would sue her, and he would summon her soul on the road to Huangquan and wound her primordial spirit, making her stupid and ignorant from generation to generation. You now What she saw was her second life after being killed by Lin Xie. In her previous life, she was abandoned by her children because of her stupidity, and finally fell into the river and drowned.

"In this life, her father married her to a butcher, and she was beaten and scolded by the butcher for half her life. It was not until the butcher died ten years ago that she was spared the pain of flesh and blood. Because of Lin Xie, she is destined to have a hard time in every lifetime."

His voice became low and muddy like lumps of mud thrown into the water.

Although Mu Jiu has seen many similar things, but at this moment, he seems to feel the pain buried in his heart.

"Did it scare you?" He turned his head with a smile.

Mu Jiu quickly waved her hand: "Of course not!"

He smiled again, and then took out a large bag of broken silver the size of a lotus seed from his bag, walked over and put it on the chair where the old woman had sat.

After returning, he continued: "50 years ago, I found out about her whereabouts. I visited her secretly once, and after returning, my teacher's wife broke her left leg on the grounds that she went down the mountain without permission. From that time on, I swore that I I must leave Mingyuanzong and the Lin family, so even if I am just a foundation builder, I have risked half my life to get the qualification to go to heaven.

"Not only do I want to change my own destiny, I must also change her destiny in my lifetime so that she will not suffer in future reincarnations. She is my mother after all. If she hadn't risked giving birth to me back then, there would be no me. But At present, I have no way to do more than visit her occasionally."

Although he was always smiling and his mood didn't fluctuate much, Mu Jiu sounded very heavy.

She thought he was just an ordinary illegitimate child, but she didn't expect that there was such a deep entanglement behind it.

"So have you thought about what to do?" she said.

He shook his head: "Anyway, the first thing I will do after I have enough spiritual power is to mend her primordial soul."

Mu Jiu nodded.

Only by repairing the original soul can she change the fate of her future generations.

She admired him for having such a firm willpower.
