Chapter 51 Heaven and Earth are ruthless and human beings are affectionate(2/2)
Shangguan Lingye sorted out all the bones separately, placed them neatly on the open space outside the mountain temple, and then flew to the county town outside the mountain.
It was already early in the morning, and every household in the county town was closed, and there were no pedestrians on the street.
Shangguan Lingye did not go to the county government office, but came to the house near the inn.
Jiang Yi recognized that this was Aunt Li's home. She learned that the evil ghost was transformed by Aunt Li's son and was worried about it. As Shangguan Lingye fell into the yard, she looked at it in a blink of an eye and saw no trace of Aunt Li, but she vaguely smelled the fragrance of rice.
Jiang Yi was a little confused and walked along the smell to the kitchen stove next to her with a pot lid, but the stove fire did not go out.
I opened the lid of the pot and looked at it. There was a bowl of rice and a piece of vegetables in the iron pot. I thought it was left for my son who went into the mountain to chop wood. I had been busy on the mountain for a day and couldn't have food when I came back.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Yi felt a little worried and didn't know what to say.
Shangguan Lingye may have seen him too much, and his expression was very plain. He turned around and came to the room with the door open next to him.
The house is very simple, but also very clean. The old woman with a pleated face leaned alone against the head of the bed, holding needles and threads in her hand, and was already asleep
Next to the bed was a thick stack of soles and clothes that were half sewn.
It’s a pity that these clothes and shoes are destined to be impossible to wear on my son again.
Jiang Yi pursed her lips, feeling mixed feelings.
Shangguan Lingye glanced at it, stood by the bed, raised his slender jade hand, and a faint light appeared between his fingers and flowed into the old woman's forehead.
Jiang Yi didn't understand why, and asked in a low voice:
"Senior, are you?"
"Her son is dead and his heart is hard to resolve. Help her forget about her son and live a more comfortable life."
Jiang Yi was stunned, thought for a while, then quickly raised her hand and held Shangguan Lingye's hand:
"etc."
Shangguan Lingye stopped and turned his head:
"What's wrong?"
Jiang Yi looked at the white-haired old woman and hesitated:
"Senior, she is only one son, even if she dies, she is still her son. If you let her forget, how can she live in the future?"
Shangguan Lingye frowned slightly, not understanding these words:
"Remembering this, she lived a life worse than death. After forgetting, she didn't remember that she had a son and had no knot in her heart, so why couldn't she live?"
Jiang Yi knew that Shangguan Lingye's words made sense, but it was difficult to recognize them.
The pain of losing a child is that no parents can bear; but after losing a child, parents choose to forget their dead sons to be liberated. I am afraid that no parents will be willing to do this, which is to let their son die again.
"It is definitely not okay to forget. Aunt Li became like this for her son, and she made her forget her son. What is left? She doesn't even have someone to miss..."
"Her son died, and missing him has no benefit, and he will even live a few years less. No matter how you think about it, you will forget it."
Jiang Yi opened her mouth, but wanted to speak but stopped. She didn't know how to discuss this with Shangguan Lingye.
Shangguan Lingye’s approach is definitely correct, but in Jiang Yi’s opinion, it is completely that “the superior stands on a high ground and makes the most reasonable arrangements for the people below according to his own ideas”. It is true that good things are done, but he does not consider the emotional factors of the people below.
It’s like Jiang Yi became a regent princess herself. When she saw a woman with great virtues became widowed and was helpless, she married the woman to a man with good character, giving her a support for the rest of her life.
This seems to be a very reasonable arrangement for her, but the parties involved may not be happy about it, and may even be counterproductive; so even if it is kind-hearted help, the other party must accept it willingly.
Jiang Yi thought for a while and said, "The relationship between mother and son cannot be decided by outsiders. To forget, at least Aunt Li must agree to it himself."
Shangguan Lingye shook his head: "She will definitely not agree." ??
Jiang Yi was stunned: "Senior knows that she won't agree, how can he let her forget her son by himself?"
“…”
Shangguan Lingye was a rare silence. Perhaps he realized that this approach was not appropriate and spoke:
"I just think this is the best for her. What do you think is the right way to deal with it? She is indeed no different from the living dead now."
Jiang Yi looked at the old woman on the hospital bed and thought for a while and said:
"You must not forget it directly. Well... Mothers want your son to live a good life, so why don't you ask her to have a dream and tell her that her son has been reincarnated as a high-ranking official, and she has married a wife and given birth to a son, so that she can't worry about it...I feel this is more appropriate."
Shangguan Lingye thought for a while, nodded slowly, and a faint light appeared from his fingertips and landed on the old woman's eyebrows.
Jiang Yi stood by and watched.
However, after a moment, the old woman who was sleeping with her eyes closed could see her eyes shaking, probably dreaming.
Tears suddenly rolled out of the corners of the eyes, their lips stammered a few times, making a little noise, and their originally dry bark-like face looked a little calmer.
Jiang Yi breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this scene.
Shangguan Lingye looked at it quietly, and after confirming that there was no problem, he turned around and walked out of the house and spoke:
"I don't know if her son is reincarnated and lying to let her go and let her forget, there seems to be no big difference."
Jiang Yi followed behind her and walked out the door, followed Shangguan Lingye's wind and said seriously:
"There is still a difference, at least there is someone who can talk about it..."
"It's hard to say about mortals, but it's not a good thing to have too much concern in practice."
"I am still an ordinary person and I don't know the principles of practice. However, I think that if a person has no concern, wouldn't it be meaningless to live?"
"It is a good thing to be careful when practicing, without distractions, and without worries. Why is there a meaningless saying?"
"Well... For example, Zuo Lingquan and I. If I become a fairy, Zuo Lingquan will not be able to cultivate and spend a lifetime with each other, and he will die in a hundred years. I will continue to practice. Even if I live for another hundred years, what can I do? How long will I feel uncomfortable? It is better to die together."
Shangguan Lingye frowned slightly and shook his head and said:
"Your thoughts cannot lead to a long life."
Jiang Yi didn't care much and smiled:
"If you cannot live a long life, at least it will not be in vain. As long as you have no regrets in this life, there seems to be no difference between living a hundred years and ten thousand years."
“…”
Shangguan Lingye thought for a while and thought this was very reasonable.
However, "Eternal Life" represents immortality, so it is still a bit of ambition to interpret it with "no regrets in this life".
She looked at Jiang Yi in a blink of an eye and said:
"From the current situation, Zuo Lingquan will definitely become an immortal, but you cannot become an immortal. In a hundred years, do you think he will accompany you to the underworld together like you?"
When Jiang Yi heard "I can't become an immortal", her expression froze obviously. She put away her smile, thought seriously for a moment, and shook her head and said:
"He probably won't. He has other concerns. If he can't die, he won't die. But if I die, he shouldn't live happily."
"The world often says that there are three great joys in life, one will get promoted and become rich and die. How do you know that he will not be happy?" ?!
Jiang Yi blinked her eyes, held it in for a long time before she said softly:
"Empress, you don't seem to know how to chat."
Shangguan Lingye smiled: "I'm just making an assumption, don't take it seriously; it's still easy for you to become a fairy."
"Hehe... Actually, I have talked to Zuo Lingquan before."
"What did Zuo Lingquan say?"
"He said, if he became an immortal, I was lying on the sickbed, and he would definitely come back to see me and say...Madam, what would he say?"
Shangguan Lingye was silent for a while, obviously thinking seriously, and after a long time, he shook his head and said:
"I haven't experienced that kind of scene, I don't know... But from my perspective, I'll say something like 'sorry'. What did he say?"
Jiang Yi shrugged her shoulders and said in a very slap tone, "He said, 'You are going to die soon. I can live for many years, are you angry or not?" Then she laughed "sneer" and her shoulders shook slightly.
(→_→)??
Shangguan Lingye was puzzled and looked at Jiang Yi with the silly girl:
"You're still laughing?"
Jiang Yi's smile froze, feeling that she was a little bit like that, and coughed lightly:
"Well... just say whatever you want, it's not true. He really dares to do that. I have to get up and beat him up and vent my anger."
"He has become an immortal. If he says, "Hey~ I can't get angry, can you be angry?"
“…”
If you don’t talk too much, you will be too late! ——
