Lotus is a holy thing in Taoism.

This is the weather in May and June. It is not difficult to find a lotus. It is not difficult to find a lotus in Texas. But it is so late, and you really have to use some care to find it. So when Joseph arrives, it is already past 11:00 the next morning.

The car rushed into the square yard. After the door opened, Joseph rushed out. Before he could close the door, he went upstairs and pushed the wooden door open. He saw Lisa lying on the sofa in the living room. She was still lying like when she left yesterday, but she didn't see Jia Huan.

"Huan--" Joseph shouted, then rushed to Lisa who was lying on the sofa, and placed the lotus in his hand on the sofa. He held Lisa's hand, soft and with a certain temperature. This made his heart feel a lot, which means that Lisa is still saved, but what about Jia Huan?

He looked around and couldn't help but scream: "Happy—"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the door next to the living room open. Jia Huan walked out of it and smiled at Joseph: "When I waited for you, I felt a little hungry. Why don't I try my skills? The fried rice I made myself, I like to eat this very much, you know... I don't know much."

"No, no, thank you, Lisa..."

"Lisa is fine, don't worry. Lotus...I saw it." Jia Huan walked over, picked up the lotus, nodded, and said to Joseph, "Now, leave this matter to me."

Joseph nodded, then took two steps back, stood there, and saw Jia Huan turn around and walk into the kitchen. When he came out, he took out a sharp white knife, as if it was a meat-climbing knife in his kitchen.

"God, what are you doing?" Joseph's face became unfair. He stared at Jia Huan with a knife and walked to Lisa's side, and couldn't help but say, "What are you going to do?"

Jia Huan looked at him, nodded and said, "Yes, you're right. I plan to use this knife to cut Lisa's chest, and then... You know, it's like a surgical operation. Let's say that, Lisa's heart is no longer useful, I have to use this to replace her..." As he said that, he picked up the lotus in his hand and showed it in front of Joseph.

Joseph's face slowly turned a little white. He gritted his teeth and said, "What will happen if this is done?"

Jia Huan frowned and sighed and said, "Yes, there is one consequence of doing this, that is, she may... may live a long time. Do you know why a tree will live for many years?"

"The age of a tree?" Joseph couldn't help but smile bitterly. At this time, Jia Huan was still talking nonsense, "That's just a tree. Does it have anything to do with Lisa?"

"Because they all have the same heart like Lisa!" Jia Huan smiled mysteriously at Joseph, "Sometimes, you can't look at this world too seriously. Maybe the legend is the real world, and the real world may be diverse. Why should we be obsessed with those real and fake things?"

"I know...what do you want to do now?" Joseph didn't want to talk nonsense here. He wanted to watch Jia Huan finish the work earlier, and then his daughter Lisa would appear in front of him in a lively manner.

"Okay, then... I'm starting work. Are you sure you need to watch me here?" Jia Huan spread his hands at Joseph, "I think many people may not be able to stand this process... Just like why the doctor doesn't let his family enter the operating room."

Joseph hesitated for a moment, but nodded without hesitation.

He was worried, or not completely relieved. He hoped that the moment he saw his daughter reborn, he would not want to miss it. Jia Huan shrugged indifferently, picked up the meat-cleaving knife, walked to Lisa's side, reached out, untied Lisa's clothes, and exposed Lisa's mature white and tall chest.

But all this cannot give Jia Huan any stimulation. To be honest, he saw things like men and women who love each other indifferently. The desire for carnal desire is not among his pursuits at all. He is still trapped in this world, not knowing whether this is the original world or another world. Just like what he said himself, it is difficult to distinguish between true and false.

The tip of the knife was pressed against the white and tender skin under the collarbone, and the skin was slightly sunken. Joseph felt his heart was about to jump out, and he felt very distressed. It was as if the tip of the knife was pressed against his skin. But before he could recover, the tip of the knife suddenly disappeared into his skin. The sunken skin was bounced back, and the tip of the knife was buried in his body.

"God..." He suddenly felt a little regretful, why did he stay. Seeing his daughter slowly stabbed into by a sharp knife, it was as if he was tearing his heart apart. He moaned in his heart, "God... forgive me for the mistakes I made. If I need punishment, please put them on me..."

While he was still praying silently, the meat-cutting knife had already penetrated deep into the muscles under Lisa's collarbone. The knife quickly cut open Lisa's left chest, but strangely, Lisa's body was warm and there was no blood flowing out. Even a little blood stasis could not be seen, which was medically impossible.

Joseph tried hard to control his emotions, watching Jia Huan take out a bright red heart from his cut chest and put it on the floor next to him... Yes, it was actually placed on the floor. He wanted to reach out to get it, but Jia Huan stopped him: "You better don't move, I will deal with this heart later."

As he said that, he stretched out his hand and picked up the lotus. He gently stroked the lotus with his hands. At this moment, yes, at this moment, Joseph saw his most strange scene. The ordinary, no longer ordinary lotus actually became whiter, and the lotus seemed to emit a thin layer of light.

Jia Huan ignored Joseph's surprised look with wide eyes. He picked up the lotus and slowly put it into Lisa's open chest. The moment he put it in, all the light suddenly restrained itself into Lisa's body. And in the moment he took it, Jia Huan had already covered Lisa's wound with one hand.

When Joseph, who was stunned, came to his senses, Lisa's clothes were buttoned up by Jia Huan. He turned around and looked at Joseph and said, "I will put this heart in a peach wood box, and... take it back, bury this heart in the backyard of the house, and bury it a little deeper..."

As Jia Huan said, he turned around and left, ignoring Joseph.

Joseph hurriedly walked to Lisa's side, squatted down, and held Lisa's hand. Her hands were still so gentle, but... she hadn't woken up yet, or she had no reaction yet. This made Joseph a little anxious. He couldn't help but want to call Jia Huan, but when he held Lisa's hand, he suddenly had some subtle feelings.

Yes, it's a very subtle feeling.

He could feel the pulse of Lisa's hand beating. This was the subtle feeling, which made his heart instantly filled with great joy, and he couldn't help but reach out and press it on Lisa's chest.

"Dongdongdongdongdong..." A very powerful touch of heartbeat.

"God-" Something incredible happened, and the great joy and the excitement were hard to express for a moment. Joseph didn't know what to say, but just kept calling "God."

"Joseph...you don't have to thank God." Jia Huan's voice came from the side. He was already holding a wooden box in his hand. He walked to the side, put the heart on the floor in, and then patted him on the shoulder, "Remember my words, bury this wooden box in your backyard, deeper!"

"I know, I know, God... no, Huan, I don't know how to express my gratitude." Joseph did say thankful words to Jia Huan incoherently, "I owe you..."

"What you don't owe me, we can meet is the fate and cause and effect planted more than ten years ago." Jia Huan smiled and shook his head, "What we Taoism emphasizes is cause and effect and fate."

Joseph just nodded vigorously. He had seen Jia Huan's miracles, and of course he knew that this person was unusual. Even if Jia Huan was a wizard, he thought he was a good wizard that people could trust. However, Jia Huan said that he believed in the Tao of China. He didn't know what Tao was, but he knew... it must be very magical.

The joyful mood slowly calmed down. Joseph looked at Lisa next to him. Lisa was still asleep, and she could even see her chest undulating and breathing. But she didn't wake up.

"Lisa..." Joseph looked at Lisa, then looked at Jia Huan again.

"After you bury this box, she will wake up. And..." Jia Huan looked at Lisa and said, "Protect the tree well, it will be connected to Lisa's fate. As long as the tree can live, Lisa can live."

"I understand!" No matter how long Lisa could live, he would be satisfied as long as he woke up now. He quickly got up, took the box in Jia Huan's hand, and ran away.

Yes, he wants to hurry up, hurry up, hurry up. He can't wait to see Lisa wake up, then smile at him, rush out, get in the car, fire, and then run.

"Buried deeper!" Joseph murmured, digging a deep pit in the backyard of his home, then picked up the wooden box, looked at it reluctantly, and put the box into the pit solemnly. Finally, he took a deep breath and began to shovel soil into the pit.
