    Chapter 67 I feel sorry for you

    The City God’s Temple was the edge of Chu Xun’s magic power. The steps of the City God’s Temple could still be protected by the barrier, but the temple itself could no longer be enveloped by the barrier.

    Inside the temple, the lights are dim.

    More than ten ghosts and ghosts who have rebuilt their bodies are on both sides. A woman in red is tied up, with her back to everyone, looking up at the statue enshrined on the table.

    Next to her, Xiaoman stood with his eyes lowered, holding a young child under his hand.

    Chu Xun lost his voice and said: “Lan’er!”

    This child is none other than Chu Xun’s son Chu Lan.Mo Ran’s heart tightened, and the taste of the half piece of flower cake seemed to still be between his lips and teeth. Seeing that the young master was restrained, he wanted to go forward, but was stopped by Chu Wanning.

    “Don’t go.”

    “Why!”

    Allen Chu glanced at he and said softly: “They are all people who died two hundred years ago. Now that this illusion has become reality, I’m afraid you will be hurt.”

    “…” Mo Ran then remembered that this was indeed the case. No matter what he did, the dead were dead and nothing could be changed.

    The young master was crying outside the barrier, shouting indistinctly: “Abba! Abba, save me! Abba, save Lan’er!”

    Chu Xun’s lips trembled slightly, and he snapped at Xiaoman: “What are you doing? I have never treated you badly, please let him go!”

    Xiao Man turned a deaf ear and kept his face down, as if he hadn’t heard anything. But the hands holding Chu Lan could see the hesitation in his heart. There was a black mole on the tiger’s mouth of his left hand, and blue veins popped out on the back of his hand, which could not help but tremble.

    At this time, the people who had gathered in the prefecture to seek refuge were also chasing after them. When everyone saw the scene in the temple, they couldn’t help being shocked and angry, and they all whispered:

    “That’s the young master’s son…”

    “How could this happen…”

    Xiaoman raised the knife and dropped it, loosening the rope of the woman in red. The woman came to her senses and slowly turned her head. She was extremely beautiful, as clear as a lotus, with a long and handsome neck. However, her face was as pale as paper, but her lips were as red as blood. The way she smiled at Chu Xun was more Ruan than charming.

    The ethereal candlelight illuminated her apathetic face. The moment they saw her face clearly, Chu Xun and some of the older people in the crowd behind them all froze.

    There was a hint of sadness in the woman’s smile, and she said softly: “Husband.”

    Mo Ran: “!!”

    Allen Chu: “…”

    This woman is none other than Chu Xun’s late wife!

    Mrs. Chu’s eyes flickered and she wanted to take her son’s hand from Xiaoman.Xiao Man refused at first, but as a ghost, Mrs. Chu’s strength was much stronger than that after being freed from imprisonment, so she snatched the child away with a little force.It’s a pity that she contracted the epidemic and died before the child was one month old. Therefore, the young master never saw his mother. He kept crying for a while, calling daddy and asking Chu Xun to save him.

    “Good boy, don’t cry. Mother will take you to find your father.”

    Mrs. Chu picked up the child with a pair of jade arms as delicate as autumn reeds, picked him up, and slowly walked out of the temple gate, along the rain-soaked bluestone steps, all the way to the Shangqing barrier, and stood in front of Chu Xun, her eyebrows seemed to be happy, sad, sad and joyful.

    “Husband, after so many years of separation, are you… are you doing well?”

    But Chu Xun couldn’t say a word. His hanging fingertips couldn’t help but tremble. He looked at the woman behind the barrier with a pair of phoenix eyes, and his eyes gradually turned red.

    Mrs. Chu said softly: “Lan’er is now so old, and you are much calmer. You are a little different from what I thought. … Let me take a good look at you.”

    As she spoke, she stretched out her hand and placed it against the barrier, but due to her ghostly body, she could not cross it. She only had a barrier of flowing light and looked at the people behind her silently.

    Chu Xun closed his eyes, but his eyelashes were already wet.

    He also raised his hand, and across the barrier, his palm touched Mrs. Chu’s. He opened his eyes again, and the two looked at each other life and death, just like yesterday.

    Chu Xun choked and said: “Madam…”

    The family has been separated by yin and yang for many years, but the number of days spent as a family can be counted with a finger.

    “Are the begonias I planted next to the courtyard alive?”

    Chu Xun smiled, but there were tears in his eyes: “Everyone is as tall as a canopy.”

    Mrs. Chu seemed to be happy and said warmly: “That’s great.”

    Chu Xun also smiled as hard as he could, and said: “Lan’er likes the crabapple tree the most. In spring, he always plays under the tree. He loves crabapple flowers as much as you do, every year… every Qingming Festival…” He said this, but he could no longer smile. He pressed his forehead against the edge of the barrier, tears kept rolling down, and he broke down in tears, “Every Qingming Festival, hePick the most beautiful one and put it in front of my mother’s grave.Wan’er, do you see it every year?”

    By the end, I was choked with sobs and broken, and my words were weeping blood. I was actually crying with sadness, and I no longer looked like a gentleman.

    Mrs. Chu’s eyes were also red, but because she was a ghost, she had no tears to shed, but her expression was sad, which also made the viewer feel sad.

    There was silence for a while, no one spoke anymore, everyone silently looked at the scene in front of them, and someone was sobbing softly.

    However, at this time, a cold and cold voice came from the air.

    “Of course she knows, but soon, she won’t know anymore.”

    Mo Ran’s face suddenly changed: “It’s the Ghost King!”

    Chu Wanning was also extremely gloomy: “The shameless villain dare not show up!”

    The ghost king hissed and laughed, like sharp nails tearing at the bottom of a pot, which made people’s hair stand on end.

    “Lin Wan’er is already part of my ghost clan. Originally, I didn’t want to hurt her, but if you go against me and destroy me, I will rip out your heart and make you suffer more than me!”

    After the words fell, more than ten ghosts in the temple spoke loudly, each chanting a spell.

    “Every heart is dead, and the past is gone -”

    Mrs. Chu suddenly opened her eyes wide and said in a trembling voice: “Husband, Lan’er, take over Lan’er!!”

    “Every heart is dead, the old man is gone -”

    “Lan’er! Hurry! Go to your father’s place!”

    Mrs. Chu pushed the child and wanted to pass the he across the barrier, but the young master was blocked by the film like a ghost and was not allowed to return it.

    Xiaoman stood in front of the temple railing, looking down at them from top to bottom, his face seemed sad and happy, and his originally handsome face was almost distorted.

    “It’s useless. I followed the instructions of the Ghost King and put the mark of the ghost clan on him. Now he is like a ghost and cannot enter the upper realm.”

    The mantra behind him was like the chanting of a tide, constantly rising and falling: “The ordinary mind is dead, and the clear consciousness is gone -”

    “Husband!!” Mrs. Chu was extremely panicked. She hugged the child in her arms and beat it outside the barrier, “Husband, you remove the barrier, you remove the barrier, let Lan’er in, you protect him, you protect he – I – I’m about to… I…”

    “Every heart is dead, lovingkindness is gone -”

    “Husband——!!!”

    Mrs. Chu knelt down with a plop, her eyes were wide open, she could not help but tremble, and the blood-red curse mark gradually appeared on her face, “Child – Lan’er… you promised me to take good care of him… remove… please… remove… husband!!”

    Chu Xun was heartbroken. He raised his hand several times to perform the technique, but finally dropped it again.

    Chu Lan was crying outside, raising her head with tears on her face, stretching out her little hands and crying: “Daddy, you don’t want Lan’er anymore… Dad, hug Lan’er… Daddy, hug…”

    Mrs. Chu kept hugging He and kissing the child’s cheek. Mother and son were kneeling and crying, both begging Chu Xun to open the upper clear barrier and let the child pass.

    Suddenly someone in the crowd shouted: “Sir! You can’t! We can’t withdraw the barrier. The remaining hundreds of people in Lin’an will die – this is a conspiracy of the ghost world! You can’t withdraw, your master!”

    “Yes, the barrier cannot be withdrawn!” Desire for survival made the commoners kneel down and kowtow to Chu Xun one after another, and they all cried out, “Sir, please, the barrier cannot be withdrawn! If we withdraw it, everyone will die!”

    “Madam, please…” Some people knelt down and bowed to Madam Chu, “Madam, you are compassionate and have a bodhisattva heart. We will be grateful for your whole life. Please, please don’t let the young master withdraw the barrier. You are so kind and compassionate and save the suffering. Please…”

    In an instant, except for the guards of the prefecture and a few common people who did not kneel down to plead, the rest of the people were crying and shouting, and the loudness instantly drowned out the pleas of Mrs. Chu and the young master outside the barrier.

    Chu Xun felt like he was standing on a sharp cone, or like he was stabbed in the heart by tens of thousands of sharp knives. The blades produced reverse thorns in the flesh and blood, crushing all the internal organs.

    In front are his wife and children, and behind him are the lives of hundreds of people.

    In such suffering, he seemed to have died, swallowed up by the fire, and his bones were turned to ashes.

    However, the chanting sounds of ghosts and ghosts continued, but became more and more sharp.

    “Every heart is dead and all seven emotions are gone——”

    “Every heart is dead, the six desires are gone -”

    There are more and more tattoos on Mrs. Chu’s face, climbing up from her fair neck, almost covering her entire face.Dip into her eyes.

    It seemed that it was difficult for her to make a complete sound in her throat. She could only look at her husband desperately and murmured brokenly.

    “If you were… I… would… hate you… you… Ba Lan’er… I hate… me…”

    The curse lines soaked her eyes, and her weak body suddenly trembled, as if she was in unbearable pain, and she closed her eyes tightly.

    “I-hate!!!”

    Suddenly there was a shrill scream, but the ending sound turned into a beast-like howl!

    Mrs. Chu suddenly opened her eyes, and her eyes were full of blood. Four pupils appeared in her originally soft almond eyes, and they were so densely packed that all the whites of her eyes were squeezed out.

    “Wan’er!!”

    Chu Xun was so grief-stricken that he forgot for a moment that the spell caster had to stand in it for the Shangqing Barrier to be effective. He just wanted to reunite with his beloved wife. However, just when he was about to step out of the barrier, an arrow suddenly shot through the air, and the whooshing sound was accurate and ruthless. It pierced his shoulder, blocking his original intention to reach out.

    It was actually a young man from the prefect’s mansion, still holding his bow and shooting arrows.

    The young man hunted and said righteously to Chu Xun: “Young master! Wake up! You always teach us that as a Taoist, all living beings are the first and one is the last. Are these just empty words? Once the matter falls on your shoulders, will you sacrifice the lives of hundreds of people for the sake of one life and death!”

    An old woman next to the young man trembled and said: “You, put down your bow quickly, how can you hurt the young master? Everything is the young master’s choice. The young master has already exhausted all his benevolence, and how can you… you are ungrateful!!”

    However, before the argument could be completed, a scream was heard from the front.

    Mrs. Chu has gone completely crazy. She originally hugged her child so lovingly, but now she is no different from a wild beast. She looks up to the sky and howls, salivating, and her teeth suddenly grow.

    Chu Lan was crying dumbly in her arms, but in her broken and choked sobs, she shouted intermittently: “Aniang…”

    What responded to he was Mrs. Chu’s blood-red claws, which completely pierced his throat!!!

    There was no sound between heaven and earth.

    Blood flowers are flying one by one.

    It seems that that year, the begonia flowers bloomed, and Mrs. Chu held her newborn child in her arms, standing in front of the window and watching the gentle flowers and bright red flowers in the courtyard.

    The mother gently rocked the child in her arms and hummed softly: “Red Begonia, Yellow Begonia, how melodious the wind blows once. The little child is in harmony in the distance, which makes people miss the father and mother.”

    Red Begonia… Yellow Begonia…

    She had touched Chu Lan’s hand lovingly, but now she was tearing Chu Lan’s head, limbs, and flesh.

    How melodious the wind is.

    The rain poured down, blood flowed, and the mother ate the child’s intestines.

    The little boy is in harmony in the distance.

    The eaves and corners of the Chenghuang Temple are majestic, the treasures are solemn, and all dharma is compassionate.

    That year when the child was born, the mother knelt down in front of the Chenghuang Pavilion, clasped her warm and slender hands together, the bell rang, the birds scattered in all directions, and she knelt down under the scent of incense and candles, wishing her child longevity and health, a long life, and a peaceful life…

    It makes me miss my father and mother.

    The flesh and blood were broken, and Chu Lan’s heart was pulled out and chewed greedily by Mrs. Chu. Fresh blood snaked down the corners of her mouth.

    “Ahhhhhh!!!” Chu Xun finally collapsed. He knelt on the ground, holding his head and knocking on the ground, blood flowing in.he cried heartbreakingly, he knelt in the rain, knelt in the blood, knelt in front of his wife and children, knelt in front of the people of Lin’an City, he knelt under the statue of the god, knelt in the mud.

    He kneels in sin, he kneels in holiness.

    Kneel in gratitude, kneel in hatred.

    He hunched into the dust, his soul was torn apart and extinguished.

    Sadness for eternity.

    After a long time, someone finally spoke tremblingly.

    “Son…”

    “My condolences, Sir…”

    “Young Master’s great kindness will be unforgettable…”

    “Master Chu is very righteous, what a good man! What a good man…”

    Someone hugged their child tightly and covered the child’s eyes to prevent him from seeing this ferocious scene.At this moment, he dared to let go of his hands and said to Chu Xun with a pale face: “Young master, you saved our lives. Madam and young master, we will definitely… be able to ascend to bliss…”

    Someone else scolded: “Get away with your child! Why don’t you and your child ascend to bliss?!”

    The man retreated timidly.

    But these quarrels were so far apart that Chu Xun felt like he was already dead.Listening to their voices, it is as if they are coming from across the vast ocean of dust.

    In the heavy rain, the man was covered in filth, and the transparent film separated him from his wife and children. His bones were covered with bones and his eyes were full of tears.Mo Ran looked at the scene in front of him and suddenly remembered that in his previous life, when he killed innocent people indiscriminately, he gave birth to more than one Chu Xun, more than one Chu Lan, and more than one Madam Chu…

    He suddenly lowered his head to look at his hands.

    For a moment, I vaguely saw the blood on my hands.

    But in the blink of an eye, I found that it was still cold rain, dripping in my palms and gathering into a stream.

    he was trembling slightly.

    But the next moment, his palm was pulled.

    He seemed to wake up suddenly from a nightmare. He turned his eyes and saw his junior brother looking at him with concern.The child looked so similar to the dead Chu Lan.

    Mo Ran slowly knelt down and was level with him.It seemed like a sinner was pleading his sins in front of the deceased, looking at him with a pair of eyes stained by rain and tears.

    Allen Chu didn’t speak, raised his tender little hand and touched his head.

    “It’s all over.” Allen Chu said softly, “It’s all in the past.”

    “Yeah.” After a while, Mo Ran smiled sadly, lowered his eyes and murmured, “It’s all in the past.”

    But even it’s all in the past.But it was all done by he. Although he never killed Chu Lan, how many people like Chu Lan died because of him?

    The more the ink burned, the more frightened it became, and the more it thought, the more painful it became.

    Why are you so cruel and ruthless… Why are you insisting on going your own way…
