Chapter 35 Don’t mess with the word ‘for your own good’
After dealing with the matter of the female ghost, there is still the matter of the earthbound spirit that needs to be resolved.
So they went to the construction site again and found the old lady tied up.
The old lady was still cursing angrily, probably because she had been cursing for too long and now her strength was not so strong.
When the old lady saw Cheng Mai, her eyes were fierce and sharp, especially when she saw Cheng Mai picking up the stone, she was extremely angry.
The next second, Merchant Jian glanced at her lightly, and the old lady calmed down consciously.
But the look in their eyes was still angry.
Cheng Mai picked up the stone and placed it beside the old lady sincerely, "I'm sorry about what happened the night before yesterday. I didn't know it was your son's ashes."
The old lady stared at Cheng Mai, not expecting to receive such a sentence, so for a quarter of an hour, she remained stunned.
"It's just that you have trapped yourself here all these years because of your son, but your son is not necessarily here, otherwise why wouldn't he come out to see you?" Cheng Mai persuaded.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" The old lady's eyes were splitting, and she obviously refused to believe what Cheng Mai said. "The Taoist priest of Xuantian Temple said that as long as I guard this place, as long as I guard my son's Ashes, my son will definitely come back.”
"Beheaded in public, and the head was taken away by a wild dog. If the crime was not so heinous, why couldn't a whole body be left behind?" Shang Xingjian sneered.
"You are talking nonsense, my son is a good man."
"The son is a good person, but the old one is not necessarily a good person." Shangxing Jian lowered his eyes and looked at the old lady, "Self-imposed and self-righteous atonement is a waste of Kang Zhenglian's filial piety."
When the old lady heard this, black energy began to appear on her body.
"Xiao Cheng is always careful, she is going to turn into a ghost."
"You are talking nonsense, I will kill...ah..."
Before the old lady turned into a devil, Shang Xingjian slapped her back to the ground. No one even saw how he did it.
"I'm most annoyed by people who pretend to be 13 in front of me." Shang Xingjian waved his hand and wiped it on the clothes on Cheng Mai's shoulders. As if he was still not satisfied, he took out the white jade basin with water from the Qiankun bag and washed it. After passing his hands, he wiped it clean on Cheng Mai's shoulders again.
Cheng Mai: "..." She really knows how to thank.
The old lady was lying on the ground. She was not only shocked. This man actually planned for her to turn into a ghost. He didn't even do anything to start an altar!
After a set of movements, Shang Xingjian finally replaced the white jade basin with satisfaction, and took out another chair to sit on. The chair taken out this time was much more low-key, at least it was not a dragon chair.
"Kang Liu, the wife of the Kang family in the late Qing Dynasty, was a bitter and mean person, and could not tolerate the concubines in her husband's backyard. She used all possible means to kill them to death. This is a crime."
"You, who are you?"
"When my family was in decline, I killed three of my concubines while on the run with my husband. This is the second crime."
Shang Xingjian did not answer the old lady's words, but looked at Cheng Mai, "Do you still think she is a pitiful person?"
Cheng Pui moved his lips, feeling that Shang Xingjian did it on purpose.
"His son Kang Zhenglian was rich and talented, and he was full of knowledge and success on the road to the imperial examination. Unfortunately, his husband was a treacherous, lazy, greedy, and fond of gambling. In order to ensure that Kang Zhenglian survived the imperial examination, you brutally killed him and dumped his body. Gujing, this is the third crime. "The old lady: "They deserve to die. Everyone who blocks my son's way deserves to die."
"Then you know that Kang Zhenglian, the third generation of Qingtian, was supposed to sit high in the palace and protect the common people. He was only one life away from being able to become the king of hell in the palace and enjoy eternal prosperity. It was all because of the numerous sins on your body. In order to eliminate your sins, he That’s why I chose to have my body eaten by a wild dog after death, and I will never be reincarnated.”
"You, what did you say?"
"I said, your son has been harmed by you." Shang Xingjian said every word, every word was heart-breaking, and it was all in the heart of the old lady.
"Impossible, this is impossible, you lied to me." The old lady shouted crazily, "Who are you, who are you?"
Why do you know what she did?
That was obviously hundreds of years ago.
"Parents love their children and have far-reaching plans. It's just that you used the wrong method."
When Shang Xingjian said this, she glanced at Cheng Mai. Her mother gave up the possibility of being ranked in the Immortal Class for her, just to protect her for the rest of her life.
General Meng An should not have been ordered by him, but in order to stay with Cheng Mai, he bowed to him.
From this point of view, the old lady in front of her was even more disgusting.
"The road is as simple as ever, and you will live forever. If you go against your will in life, you will return to heaven and earth. I am here, and you will go back to your people after you go against the odds." Shangxing said in a slow voice. After his words fell, he saw a ray of light floating out from the stone.
Gradually, a figure appeared in the dim light.
The man wore a long robe and was elegant, and suddenly he seemed to be able to see an influential figure from a hundred years ago.
"Kang Zhenglian, a young man, has met his seniors before. It's been a long time since we last met, and his style remains the same." Kang Zhenglian spoke briefly to the merchant about old times in a gentle voice.
At this moment, the word "Run Wen Ruya" became concrete in Cheng Mai's world. There was an obvious mark on this man's neck, which was not like a scar, but more like a taboo.
"Lian'er, my Lian'er." When the old lady saw her son appearing, she was so excited that she was at a loss. "You, you have been here all the time, then why don't you come out to see your mother?"
Kang Zhenglian turned around and kowtowed to his mother, seemingly helpless, "Why should you be so persistent, mother? Your past sins are all your fault. You should have left here long ago."
"Lian'er, do you know that I have been waiting for you, my Lian'er." The old lady rushed to Kang Zhenglian and touched his face, "What's my crime? Those bitches deserve to die, and those few Little boy, if I don’t kill them, my son will starve to death. If others don’t care for themselves, they will be destroyed by heaven and earth. What’s wrong with me?”
"What's wrong with you?" Cheng Mai couldn't help but sneered when he heard this, "The fault is that you were born in the wrong era, the fault is that you tried to find monogamy in a world of three wives and four concubines; the fault is that the same As a woman, you don’t dare to cause trouble for men, you only dare to attack women; the mistake is that you kill others in the name of your own son.”
"You keep saying it's for your son's good, but in the end you're only doing it for yourself." Cheng Mai said angrily. Her mother was willing to give up everything to be good to her, but the woman in front of her was doing it entirely for her own selfish reasons, "Don't be dirty. "For your own good"
Shang Xingjian held Cheng Mai's wrist, knowing what she was thinking.
She didn't say anything about what happened that night, so it didn't necessarily pass from her heart.
"Kang Liu, are you obsessed with this because you are waiting for your son, or are you worried that you are too sinful to be taken away by the people in the underworld? You know better than anyone. Are you still trapped here?"< br>
The old lady shrank, and the hand holding her son seemed to loosen a little.
