Volume 4: Beginning of Spring Chapter 87: Original Intention
Some ash fell above the dry well.
Sun Xiu closed his eyes.
"You still owe me Kobe beef." Jiang You complained.
Sun Xiu opened his eyelids and smiled, an ugly smile. He said, "I'm sorry."
He felt many holes in his body, big and small, and the wind rushed in and blew him up.
A faint black shadow floated out from Sun Xiu's body.
Jiang You stretched out his hand and grabbed the black shadow.
The air vibrated.
Tang Butian held the wooden sword across his chest and looked around vigilantly. The ground began to shake, and powder and fragments on the wall fell down.
She looked towards Jiang You's position.
The shadow struggled in his right hand.
Judging from its struggling movements, it seemed that something was fighting with Jiang You for it...
Tang Butian took a few steps forward and was about to reach Jiang You when a force suddenly appeared and hit her, and she was smashed into the wall.
She looked at Jiang You.
He stood beside Sun Xiu's body.
He was not standing very straight, and his left foot seemed to be sprained. The center of gravity of his body was on his right leg, causing his right shoulder to look a little collapsed. When he fell, he rolled on the ground a few times, and his coat was wrinkled and covered with dust.
He was holding a bottle of Coke in his left hand.
The movements of his right hand became faster.
The power of the existence she could not see raged in the dry well. Waves of energy rushed against the walls, sharp winds blew across her face and body, and the ground shook more and more violently.
This well is about to collapse.
Almost at the same time as she made the judgment, Jiang You clenched his right hand fingers at the same time, holding the entire black shadow in his hand, and then he quickly took out a white postcard and a silver lighter from his bag.
The fire lit up.
The burning white postcards danced lightly in the dry well.
Tang Butian jumped down from the wall, supporting her body with a wooden sword in one hand. She looked at Jiang You, who wiped his forehead with his left hand holding a Coke bottle and turned around.
"Are you okay?" he asked.
Tang Butian shook his head.
The dry well suddenly became quiet.
Jiang You unscrewed the Coke bottle, took a few sips and poured the rest on the ground. Then he stuffed the ball of black shadow into the Coke bottle, screwed on the lid and put it back into his bag.
The fire burst into flames for a moment and then went out.
The postcards are burned.
Ashes fell on Sun Xiu's body.
"I couldn't be distracted just now." Jiang You dragged his legs and slowly walked to Tang Butian.
"What happened?" Tang Butian asked.
"Sun Xiu's power also comes from Ming Shen. After his death, his soul naturally belongs to Ming Shen. But he still owes me beef. I'm counting on him to pay me back in the next life, so I robbed him."
"that's all?"
"Of course not," Jiang You took out a cigarette from his bag, lit it, and took a puff before continuing, "The core is here, but what does it look like? Is it a stone?" Jiang You kicked the gravel on the ground with his toes, "or a grain of sand, a bit of moss, or a small insect?"
Smoke filled the dry well.
"I may not be able to find it in its rules."
"My postcard contains my rules. I used Sun Xiu's soul to draw it out and put it into my rules," Jiang You said casually. "If I were to explain it, that's roughly it."
Tang Butian saw the outline of a person gradually appearing in the smoke.
It's that boy.
Carrying my luggage, I am leaving the mountain village.
The scene unfolded slowly like a scroll. They stood at the foot of the mountain again, and her wooden sword cut off his way out of the village.
Tang Butian noticed that his hands and legs were wrapped with several circles of transparent spider silk.
The boy raised his head and smiled at them, with a simple and shy look.
"I'm Hu Yuefeng, what about you?" He introduced himself.
"Jiang You."
"Tang is not sweet."
…
Jiang Mo swung upwards, the spider silk corroded and broke, and his body sank downwards. Then, a black egg hidden in the shadows exploded, and black liquid splashed on Jiang Mo's clothes and hands. A burst of black smoke drifted by, and a burn mark appeared on the back of his right hand.
He glanced toward the hillside.
The red spot in his eyes was flickering unsteadily.
…
The boy looked at the wooden sword in Tang Butian's hand and asked, "This is the sword that killed my clone before, right?"
Tang Butian held the hilt of the knife and did not answer.
Jiang You threw the cigarette butt to the ground and stomped it out. He said, "Leader, let's make this a quick decision."
Hearing this, the boy said, “This place is destroyed, and everyone will be thrown into chaos.”
"Maybe," Jiang You took a step forward, "If we don't destroy this place, we can't go back, right?"
"I can take you back."
Jiang You looked at him.
The boy looked at the mountain village behind him and said, "I am born with the ability to see things that ordinary people cannot . When I was six years old, a monk passed by our village. He said that I had a connection with Buddha and wanted to take me away. At that time, my father had not yet broken his leg, so he disagreed and drove the monk out of the village."
"I wouldn't agree either if it were me," Jiang You said.
"That monk is really capable. He could see my brother. He told me that only if I do more good deeds and accumulate merits can I dispel the resentment in my brother and allow him to re-enter the cycle of reincarnation."
The boy looked at Jiang You: "But he killed my father, who was also his father, for me. He killed people and murdered his father. He can never be reincarnated, can't..."
"So I don't like those bald donkeys. If he wants to accept you as his disciple, he should help you convert your brother first, right?"
The boy was silent for a moment. "My mother was bought. When her belly grew bigger, the caretakers gave up some of her. When she was eight months old, she found an opportunity, ran away, and jumped into the well."
Tang Butian pursed her lips.
The boy continued, "After we were rescued, the midwife cut us out and found that we were twins."
"It is in accordance with the law of cause and effect for you to seek revenge on behalf of your mother," Jiang You commented.
"In the end, I still dragged him down."
"After you leave the village, as long as you stop, you still have a chance."
"The people outside are even more evil than those in the village. The person he saved discovered his secret and hinted at him. I have no choice but to continue. I can only continue without stopping. I..."
"As long as the resentment in you is not resolved, the people of the Hu family will never have a good life. This Hu family includes you, Hu Yueming, and your brother Hu Yuefeng."
The boy was startled.
The spider silk wrapped around him lit up.
"I'll get you on your way, leader, get ready."
Tang Butian’s mind sank into the knife.
"I'll send you out. My brother and I are here. We won't go back. I don't want to become a god. I..."
Jiang You grabbed Tang Butian’s hand holding the knife.
"You are just a little bit of his original intention when he created this fragmented space." The wooden sword passed across its body, and the shadow split and then gathered together again.
Cut it off one by one.
“They’re not going back.”
The boy looked back at the village halfway up the mountain.
His body began to shrink and fade, turning into a transparent baby...
Until it dissipates.
…
Zhao Cai bit the ear of a man in black.
Sun Yu shrank behind a rock, trying hard to reduce his presence.
At this moment, the ground shook violently.
An air current rushed out from the gap, and the man in black was blown away to all directions.
Sun Yu covered his ears and looked secretly. He saw a man holding a woman and climbing out of the well with some difficulty.
The man's fatness is somewhat familiar.
It’s Jiang You.
After Jiang You climbed out, he took several deep breaths. Then he saw Zhaocai and his eyes lit up, "Zhaocai, come here!"
