The old lady is reborn

Ye Xun came to Kyoto with a monk. Jiang Muwan had already received the letter and knew that his uncle was going to the capital, so he estimated that the time would be almost up.

That day, Jiang Muwan received a letter and learned that his uncle had arrived and was now in Yongning Temple in Kyoto.

After Ye Xun arrived in Beijing, the Taoist priest said goodbye to the two of them and left in a leisurely manner.

The monk and Ye Xun went to Yongning Temple together.

Jiang Muwan also rushed to Yongning Temple to meet him.

Ye Xun was waiting in the temple courtyard. When he saw Jiang Muwan in the crowd, he recognized him almost immediately.

Jiang Muwan also suddenly stopped when he saw Ye Xun.

After I lost my mother at the age of eight, she appeared in my dreams almost every night at first, but later on, she appeared less and less often.

In Ye Xun's opinion, Jiang Muwan's features are like his sister's, while in Jiang Muwan's opinion, the eyes and smile of this strange man are like her mother's.

After the two of them tentatively asked each other, they came together to a small Buddhist worship room in the temple. This is a room that can be booked in the temple with money.

Those who have come from far away to worship Buddha and ask questions from the scriptures can take a break.

They both took out a piece of jade, about the size of two seals.

The carved surface of one end of the jade block is uneven and the various convex and concave surfaces at the two ends can perfectly match each other.

At one end of the two flat jade pieces, one is engraved with Ye Xun and the other is engraved with Ye Xuan.

This was the seal that Jiang Muwan’s grandfather gave to his two children.

When the two met, they naturally talked about each other's plans. Ye Xun planned to buy a house in Kyoto and let his niece move in. It didn't seem appropriate to live in the Dali Temple Minister's house for a long time.

He would live in Kyoto for some time. When the Ye family's assets went underground, much of their wealth had already turned into gold and silver.

Ye Xun is now going to lead the Ye family back into the business world. He is wondering whether to do this in Kyoto or in Jiangnan.

Seeing that there was no one else here, Jiang Muwan whispered to her uncle that she wanted to get her mother's dowry back from Xiaoyao Hou's Mansion.

She also hoped that God would let the evil man die as soon as possible, to avenge her mother and herself.

After more than ten years of painful life, no one has paid any compensation for it.

All the law can do is bring Aunt Bai to justice and repay her with a life.

But Jiang Muwan wanted his loving mother to live well, but it was no longer possible.

Who cares about Aunt Bai’s life? Is she worthy of being your own mother?

Killing someone means paying with your life, and debts mean paying with your money. It is a last resort to seek justice after a good person has lost something.

Just like Jiang Muwan sought justice after losing her mother, but if she had a choice, the eight-year-old girl only wanted her mother to live well.

As a daughter, her idea of ​​killing her father was undoubtedly a heinous crime.

It was really uncomfortable to keep it in his heart, so Jiang Muwan told his uncle in a very obscure way about his hopes for God and Buddha.

Ye Xun nodded to Jiang Muwan and said, "There are many twists and turns in the world.

I have reached a dead end, but there is a new way out. Since I can survive from a desperate situation, I can also see that evildoers will be punished for their evil deeds. "

"About your mother, there are things your uncle doesn't understand.

I have invited a senior monk from Yongning Temple to come to this tea room later to read your mother's birth date. Nowadays, there are days of life and death. Uncle wonders if the senior monk can tell anything?"

Jiang Muwan nodded, but he was thinking that he had already asked a monk to take a look, but he couldn't see anything different.

When the monk came and looked at Ye Xuan's birth date and time, he said to Ye Xun, "The theory of rebirth that you asked about in one life cannot be seen from this birth date."

Ye Xun asked: "How do you explain all these extraordinary things?"

Ye Xun asked vaguely, and the monk did not ask any more questions. Instead, he asked, "Have you heard of the story of the Yellow Millet Dream?

In the dream, Lu Sheng experienced his entire life, with several ups and downs, until he died at the age of eighty. But when he woke up, he found that the millet he cooked before falling asleep was not yet cooked.

Perhaps this donor Ye Xuan has some chance that is different from others, and has also had an experience similar to the Yellow Millet Dream?"

Ye Xun never thought that Ye Xuan might just have had a dream, so he asked again: "But if it's just a dream, then Lu Sheng knew that he had a dream."

The monk said, “There are some who don’t know, and it doesn’t really matter whether they know or not.

For example, Zhuang Zhou dreamed of a butterfly, but no one can tell whether it was the butterfly that dreamed of Zhuang Zhou or Zhuang Zhou that dreamed of the butterfly.

Even if it was just a dream, some people may think they have lived another life. "

Seeing Ye Xun's inner struggle, the monk remained silent for a long while and could only say, "I have actually seen the birth date and horoscope of an old lady in Kyoto. If there is a saying of two lives in one lifetime, and time travels back, I am afraid it will happen to this old lady."

The meaning is obvious. If he was really reborn, his fate would not be the same as it is now.

The monk stopped there just to comfort Ye Xun's obsession, but he refused to say anything more about the old lady.

There was another person in the same temple at this time.

Rong Ruozhi came to Yongning Temple to worship Buddha and seek inner peace, but suddenly he felt something was wrong.

After Rong Ruzhi left Yongning Temple and returned to Nan'an Marquis Mansion, he felt inexplicably sleepy and went to bed early.

He had a dream.

This dream seemed to be fragmented and filled with images. Rong Ruozhi was like a lonely person sitting in the audience, watching a plot that he did not understand at all.

He saw another self sitting at the big table. He was shocked: Who is that? Why is there another self?

He saw Rong Huaishan, Rong Yunyue and Rong Yunfeng again. At first he was surprised, thinking that they were not dead and were all fine.

Then I started to wonder: Did I die? Did my soul leave my body and meet them?

On the other side of the table sat Rong Huaiyuan, Mingdai and their four grandchildren.

He was happy again, the whole family was here, having a good reunion dinner. Why was Huai'an not there?

Why is Song Ying sitting opposite me?

Who are these two children? In the picture, Rong Yuehua and her little great-grandson are sitting on chairs with their feet not touching the ground, but Rong Ruozhi doesn't recognize them.

Suddenly, the little girl spoke, and her childish voice repeated the cruelty of the adults.

What does that mean? Who is the great-grandfather she is talking about going to marry? Who is he going to die for? Is this great-grandfather referring to herself?!

Song Ying is her great-grandmother, but why should I re-hold the wedding ceremony? Song Ying and I have had a proper wedding ceremony, and the current emperor and the crown prince were present at that time.

Why is Tian Anran sitting here, next to me? Is she crazy? She is so brave... She is not dead either?

Rong Ruozhi looked at the table in the picture. Is this the world of life and death? Everyone sitting there is dead. He is also sitting there. He should be dead, or about to die.

But then he heard Tian Anran say that she tortured Huai'an and killed Huai'an.

In shock, he saw Rong Huaishan killing Huaiyuan and Mingdai, and ordering the servants to kill Yunhai, Yunchuan and Yunfei.

In the end, the female relatives Yun Miao, Yan Danqi and the unknown child were all killed.

What happened? What happened?!

Song Ying... It was actually me who scratched Song Ying's face with a sword. Tian Anran was still not satisfied. She...

Ah!

Rong Ruozhi woke up with a scream.

The servant outside the door was so scared that he hurried in and brought Rong Ruozhi a handkerchief and tea.

He was stunned for a long time before he realized that he was sweating coldly.

This dream is so strange.

Rong Ruozhi was uneasy for the whole day. Everything in the dream was too real. Is it possible that the dishes in the dream were exactly what Tian Anran liked to eat?

In the dream, he was sitting on an empty chair next to Song Ying. While listening to them talking, he glanced at the table. He remembered those dishes.

But they seemed not to be able to see him. Later, Huaiyuan came back with his family and sat over here. They also seemed not to be able to see him at all. Seeing that Huaiyuan was about to sit on him, he got scared and stood aside.

He felt that he had bumped into Huaiyuan, but Huaiyuan didn't react at all.

When I dreamed in the past, the things in the dreams seemed fake when I recalled them, for example, one moment I was in Kyoto, and the next moment I was on a grassland and a wild beach.

For example, in his dream he pulled a bow that was taller than a man. When he woke up, he knew that he had never had such a big bow and he could not pull it by himself.

In short, things in dreams are always a little bizarre, but the dream I had last night seemed real to every detail.

No, there is still some falsehood. In the dream, the emperor passed away, and they said that the six princes had accomplished something. But if the six princes had all fled, how could they accomplish anything?

Rong Huaishan and Tian Anran, they were both dead, so how could they sit at the same table to eat? I was also insane, and I thought every bit of this dream made sense. The biggest irrationality was that almost all the people on that side of the table were dead.

Thinking of this, he felt a little relieved. It turned out that things in dreams could not be trusted.

Although he thought so, he couldn't help but sit down and think carefully, if Rong Huaishan had brought people to capture Song Ying and Huai'an, what would Rong Huaishan and Tian Anran do to Song Ying?

They wanted to poison Song Ying and turn her into a living dead, and even brought poison needles with her.

And he really hated Song Ying until Tian Anran told the truth before he was torn into pieces by five horses.

After a whole day in a daze, Rong Ruzhi was actually a little frightened before going to bed at night. He instructed the night watchman two or three times before he felt at ease.

And that night he had another dream.

He became a Duke, even though it was an empty title that could not be inherited, it was still an honor.

All the family members were promoted to higher positions, even Rong Yueqi was given an official position.

When the Sixth Prince became the new emperor, he killed many ministers who were loyal to the previous emperor. There was really no one left to use. Even if he started to establish an imperial examination to recruit officials, it was too late.

Those who followed the six kings in the rebellion were almost all just those who took advantage of the situation to fill the hole.

He was immersed in this glory and joy, and had long forgotten the tragic deaths of his first wife Song Ying, his eldest son Huaiyuan, and his grandchildren.

Six years later, he was already very old, but he felt that he had made the right decision at the critical moment in his life. Even if he died and met his ancestors, he could still say that he had brought honor to his family and ancestors.

Those people said that the six princes were plotting rebellion, don't they understand that the winners are the kings and the losers are the bandits? How pedantic!

Maybe he was dying, he suddenly thought of Song Ying, Song Ying and Huaiyuan, that is, his majesty's camp, if he didn't kill them ruthlessly, how could he protect the Nan'an Marquis's Mansion? Besides, Song Ying had been unfaithful to him, and the child she gave birth to was not his own.

She never saw her eldest son again. Tian Anran said that she had killed that bastard. Her younger son Huaiyuan was deeply loved by the late emperor, so he was definitely not hers.

The more brutally they kill, the deeper their hatred is, and only then will the Six Kings feel at ease.

In fact, I can't blame myself and Huaishan. Anran acted cruelly. Song Ying didn't even think about what she had done. She deserved it!

Thinking of this, he no longer felt any guilt and fell into a deep sleep.

When I woke up again, there was a room full of crying, and I was not dead. But why couldn't I lift my hands or move my body?

The people gradually left, and it seemed that they would ask the clan leader to come and discuss the funeral arrangements later. Rong Ruzhi was angry and amused at the same time, because he was not dead yet!

Wait, what are they talking about? An Ran and Huai Shan didn't leave, what are they talking about?

"If I die, don't bury me with your father."

"Why? Mother, you are the principal wife now. Do you really have to give way to Song? Song doesn't have a tomb either, so we can't be buried together even if we want to."

"No, I'm afraid that once I die, I'll know everything. You are not Rong Ruozhi's child at all. I don't dare to do that. I'm afraid.

If I were to go into the ancestral tomb of the Rong family, all of them would be the ancestors of the Rong family. What if they all knew what I had done? I had killed all of the true bloodline descendants of the Rong family. Would anything good happen if I were buried there?

Just think of it as a noble act, modest, your mother is the second wife, not the original wife, in any case, you can come up with a reason, don't bury them together!"

Rong Huaishan was shocked and asked: "I am not... Then who is my father?"

"Don't ask about this. That person is already dead. He wasn't from a good family."

Rong Huaishan thought: So I have a humble origin that cannot be told? He asked again: "Then the two sons born to Song, one Wumingshi and Rong Huaiyuan, are both children of the Rong family?"

Tian Anran nodded: "No, I made up the rumor to deceive Rong Ruzhi. The eldest son looks exactly like him.

There was a person in the past who looked very similar to the late emperor. When my mother was young, she met the late emperor at the wedding ceremony of Rong Ruozhi and Song Ying. At that time, the late emperor was still the crown prince.

Later, I found a person who looked like him. Rong Ruozhi was already somewhat suspicious, so I let that person pretend to be the prince, who later became His Majesty, to act for Rong Ruozhi and throw dirty water on Song Ying.

Everything in this world is in the hands of human beings. If it doesn't work once, try it twice. If it doesn't work twice, try it a third time.

In addition, His Majesty did show great favor to Huaiyuan, which made Rong Ruzhi even more suspicious. After so many years of being indoctrinated with a mixture of true and false things, he became convinced after a long time. "

When Rong Ruozhi heard this, he felt a fishy and sweet taste in his throat and spat out a mouthful of old blood. He was able to move immediately, he could raise his hands and speak.

Rong Ruozhi pointed at Tian Anran and said, "You, you evil woman with no conscience!"

Tian Anran and Rong Huaishan hurried forward and held Rong Ruozhi down.

"We can't let him live!"

"Don't use a knife. There must not be any external injuries. I've already gone to ask the clan leader for help."

"What should I do?"

"Use the truth. I have the truth poison that I have used before. Let's tie his hands and feet first. Son, you watch him while I go get the poison."

Wait for them to give Rong Ruozhi the truth. Then he thought, this poison needs time to take effect little by little. What if the clan leader comes and Rong Ruozhi can still speak?

"Don't worry, I have a plan. I'll go to the big kitchen and get a pot of boiling oil. We'll use the iron pipe and funnel used to inject the poison needle to pour it down his throat. He will immediately be unable to speak."

The inhumane screams may have been deaf to many people, but it was only then that Rong Ruzhi realized that there really is retribution in this world.

He screamed and woke up from his dream again.
