Chapter 60 Crime and Punishment 5
All the heat in the body receded like a flood, and his limbs were so stiff that he couldn't even turn around.Those people in front didn't realize that they had just escaped from the brink of death, and they still walked away laughing and cursing.
Shen Sichen brushed past Xue Luoli silently, stepped forward and recalled the long sword embedded in the ground back into the scabbard, walking steadily and without fatigue.Everything returned to calm, and he turned expressionlessly and said, "Why."
Those two short words woke Xue Luoli up like a mysterious sound from outside the sky. It was okay with a long sigh of relief, and he was still willing to listen to the explanation.As if clutching at straws, Xue Luoli rushed forward and grabbed Shen Sichen's hand, and hastily wrote: I didn't kill innocent people indiscriminately, they are all deserved to die.
Shen Sichen said: "Why?"
You know, I didn't hurt normal people.
Shen Sichen's voice became colder: "Why did you kill someone?"
He pressed on step by step, and his persistence did not give Xue Luoli any retreat. He bit his lower lip tightly, and while looking at that indifferent face, he wrote: Take his soul and practice.
Shen Sichen: "What kind of sorcery."
Daoist, listen to my explanation, I just want to practice the method to undo the spell on your eyes.
Every time he wrote a word, Shen Sichen's brows became darker, and when the whole sentence was finished, he couldn't restrain himself anymore, he slammed Xue Luoli's hand away, raised his sword and walked back without speaking.
Xue Luoli hurriedly followed, he walked briskly and vigorously, making Xue Luoli a little difficult to follow, and tried to pull Shen Sichen's sleeve several times but was avoided.
After returning to the ruined temple, Shen Sichen sat straight on the cushion under the Buddhist altar, meditating cross-legged.
What happened tonight brought him a lot of excitement, and he needed to go through countless meditations in his mind before he could calm down.No matter how much Xue Luoli teased him beside him, she remained unmoved, completely ignoring the existence of another person in this ruined temple.
Xue Luoli was impatient and irritable, he had no choice but to take out Shen Sichen's recalcitrant appearance, if in the past, he might have slashed at him with two swords, but now he can only take some dead things to vent his anger.
His temper of accepting death has long been taught.Xue Luoli was so angry that her eyes were red, she slammed the stool on the ground into several pieces, then ran outside the house and threw all the stones on the shelf in the yard. She wanted to smash the kitchen but suddenly flashed Seeing the back of Shen Sichen cooking for him, his nose turned sour and he turned to hit the stone again.
It didn't take long for the yard to be a mess.Still not venting the resentment and resentment in her heart, Xue Luoli suddenly smacked her hand with a stone, and blood flowed profusely.
The piercing pain penetrated deep into the bone marrow, and I was almost out of breath for a moment.The pain in her hands surpassed the pain in her heart, and Xue Luoli felt better.
The blood-devouring man finally smelled the smell of blood. Xue Luoli took a few deep breaths freely. After the air blocked in her chest was released, it seemed that the strength in her whole body suddenly dissipated.
Shen Sichen listened to the boy throwing something motionless, knowing that he was sad, but he was even more disappointed.The strange feeling of weightlessness and drowsiness before going to bed for several days made him gradually suspicious. It may be that his deep cultivation helped him survive the control of the medicine, and finally he was able to maintain a little sobriety.
When he said that he was unwell, the other party's anxious and worried mood was so real and urgent, even the dosage of the medicine seemed to be reduced a lot, which gave Shen Sichen a little relief.Hope he's just playing a prank and will be back soon after hanging out.
However, the reality made him feel like he was in an ice cellar, chilling to the bone.
This is not his person. Although he loves to lose his temper and implicates innocent people in a bad mood, he will definitely not be the so-called night man who kills indifferently.
After a burst of noise outside the house, it finally returned to dead silence.Then Shen Sichen smelled the smell of blood that was getting stronger, and the boy walked in, his footsteps seemed to be floating and chaotic.
The boy didn't bother to meditate anymore, he lay limp on the bed, his bleeding arm began to twitch.Jingxinjue's thoughts became more and more chaotic, and he clenched his fists unknowingly, his nails sank into his palms, digging out red marks.
Finally, Shen Sichen couldn't help getting up, found out the bandage concoction that hadn't been used for a long time, and went out to fetch a basin of water in the dilapidated yard.
Bleeding profusely, fingers were already cold, slippery and bloody when touched, Shen Sichen felt helpless, resigned to his fate to wash, apply medicine and bandage for Xue Luoli.Xue Luoli, who was a little bit erratic just now, opened her eyes and saw Shen Sichen's calm face, and instinctively raised her hand.
"Don't move." Shen Sichen pressed his hand that was about to move, and said indifferently.
Xue Luoli felt no pain at all, and when the flame called hope in his heart was about to die out, someone rekindled him in time.
Obediently ask Shen Sichen to re-wrap the troubled hands into a rice dumpling.Seeing that the other party was about to leave after packing up his belongings, Xue Luoli quickly grabbed the sleeve with the other hand. This time, Shen Sichen didn't dodge or look at him, but it was already a great hope for him.
Hastily wrote in the palm of Shen Sichen's hand: I really just want to take the souls of these big villains and find a way to solve the problem of your eyes. I definitely don't intend to kill innocent people indiscriminately.
Shen Sichen said slowly: "Where did you learn these evil spells?"
I was expelled from the teacher's school to live here because of the teacher's teaching in the past.
Shen Sichen said: "How many people have been killed in Lingzhou City?"
Xue Luoli didn't dare to hide anything, and detailed the name, date, and location of the crimes she killed, and added at the end that if the Taoist priest doesn't like it, I will never do it again.
Shen Sichen pursed his lips tightly, Xue Luoli stared at his face, not daring to let go of a slight change.After a long time, Shen Sichen said leisurely: "Go to sleep." After speaking, he returned to the original meditation place, and continued to meditate in silence.
This is the first time Xue Luoli has separated from Shen Sichen in these years.A person like him, who is not afraid of wearing shoes with bare feet and eyes above the head, has never known what regret means, but at this moment, he deeply understands that it is a kind of helpless despair.
Since then, Shen Sichen went out every day to set up a stall for fortune-telling, and if there were evil spirits nearby, he would also go out to get rid of them, and even cook and buy snacks for Xue Luoli as usual.
But there was no joke with him anymore, an invisible cold wall lay between them.Xue Luoli stopped killing people and practiced spells, and circled around the opponent every day, anxious but unable to do anything.
Shen Sichen, who had hardened his heart after the principle was violated, was like a completely different person. If Xue Luoli teased him in the past, he would turn a deaf ear and remain motionless.
Xue Luoli was so tired that she was about to despair.
In a few days, it will be Qixi Festival, and the streets are bustling with people and vendors from the surrounding villages and small towns all coming to Lingzhou to join in the fun.Xue Luoli was depressed and wanted to go shopping.
Originally, I wanted to talk to Shen Sichen, but I saw that the other party was talking softly with the guest, explaining the hexagrams and guiding the way, and it was peaceful.Thinking of the recent cold war, he still didn't dare to take a step forward, and walked away with his head shrugged.
"Teacher, please continue." The scholar saw that the Taoist was speaking well, and suddenly turned his head in the direction of the young man's back, without saying a word, he couldn't help but remind him.
Shen Sichen returned to his senses and apologized: "Excuse me, let's continue."
Qixi Festival is a festival for lovers of men and women, and most of the hawkers on the crowded central streets are colorful items related to the relationship between men and women.On weekdays, three red headbands cost one renminbi, but when Qixi Festival is approaching, they will be crowned with the name Love Mian Mian Rope, and their net worth will double, but now a hair tie costs three renminbi.
People are stupid and money comes quickly, and they will be slaughtered once a year.Men and women soaked in honey are also willing to pay the money and ask for a lottery.
Xue Luoli wandered around for a while, and saw a little girl peddling in the front left, with two balls on her head, and she didn't know if her teeth had grown, so she suddenly felt interesting and went to patronize.
When the little girl saw a guest, her eyes lit up and she warmly introduced it.In addition to the cords of affection, there are also knots of one heart, white-headed acacia hairpins, lamps full of children and grandchildren, and a bunch of messy names that make Xue Luoli's head hurt and she is about to retreat.
"Hey, guest officer, don't go away. Look at my deep love and no regrets jade gourd. This is amazing. It has been consecrated by Master Nanhai. It condenses the essence of all rivers and rivers in the world. It symbolizes the warmth and love between you and your wife. Square jade gourds are like gourds, the longer they are held together, the more beautiful the jade will be."
Pure nonsense, he has never heard of what a South China Sea mage is.However, Xue Luoli was really held back by the name, and the string of quick selling words kept turning in his mind like a spell.
Warm and long-lasting, time-honored...
Even if it's for a lottery, it's good.Grab one and weigh it in your hand, the workmanship is exquisite and lifelike.
The little girl was very clever. Seeing that Xue Luoli seemed to be interested in buying, she quickly quoted: "Guest officer, this same jade gourd costs at least a hundred dollars at other stores. I'll give you a discount, eighty dollars cheaper!"
Eighty is still cheap, it is better to grab it.Xue Luoli rolled her eyes with a sneer, and stretched out three fingers.
"Thirty? No, no, this is a loss-making business, at least fifty."
Without selling it, Xue Luoli put the gourd back on the shelf and turned around.
"Hey wait, thirty is thirty!"
…………
When Xue Luoli wandered back to the hexagram stall, only Shen Sichen was sitting there.Today is the eve of Qixi Festival, and the young men and women who often come to ask for divination are busy with the preparations for this annual festival, so the divination booth is inevitably deserted.
Xue Luoli was holding the gourd she just bought, and it became a little hot after holding it for a long time.After hesitating on the spot for a long time, he realized that he was becoming more and more cowardly in front of Shen Sichen. He took a few deep breaths and rehearsed the conversation several times in his head, and then went straight over and stuffed the jade gourd directly into Shen Sichen's hands.
"What is this?" Suddenly a warm and cool cylinder was stuffed into his hand, and he groped up and down for a while, it seemed to be a gourd?
The gift for the Taoist priest is a jade gourd.
Shen Sichen said: "Why do you want to send it?"
On the Qixi Festival, this is called the jade gourd with deep love and no regrets. The people who sell the gourd say that this thing has performed magic and is useful.
Shen Sichen weighed the jade gourd in his hand for a while, touched every part from the beginning to the end, and said in a muffled voice: "I didn't realize that there was a spell, and you gave me a gift with my money?"
Xue Luoli didn't hear Shen Sichen's last sentence of frivolity and playfulness, but felt that every word made sense.After thinking about it, he ran away without a trace, Shen Sichen was stunned by this invisible action, and didn't recover for a while.
