Death Spell

Chapter 180

On the sixth day of the new year, the atmosphere of the Chinese New Year is still strong, and even the gossip media is busy with festive things.But Zhang Zhi went to the police station at noon and surrendered himself. In the afternoon, his murder of seven children and three women was known all over the city.

It caused a sensation in the whole city for a while, and everyone sighed.

With the support of Jiang You, Xuan Luo returned to the room of the mansion, her complexion was not very good.

"I said before, if you use your mirror, flowers and moonlight at will, I will freeze you." Jiang You looked serious, without the usual helplessness towards her: "Are you ignoring me, or do you not want to live anymore?" ?”

Xuan Luo lowered her eyebrows and said nothing.

Regarding such a stubborn character, Jiang You really has nothing to do with it. Looking back at that time because of Anya, and now because of the policeman, Jiang You can't wait to use the golden silk Gu in his hand to seal her memory, as long as she lives happy and at ease.

But sealing memory does not mean sealing heart, Tang and Song Dynasties are the best examples.

Jiang You looked away, thinking about the people living in this yard, and just as he was about to invite that person, he heard a knock on the door.

"Lord Ya?" Jiang You, who opened the door, was stunned, and really answered the sentence, saying that Cao Cao Cao Cao will be there.

An Ya held a plate of pastries in her hand, and said calmly: "I heard that you are back, and I wanted to share the pear cake I just made, but I feel like it's not the right time."

Knowing that Anya couldn't see, Jiang You reached out to take the pear cake in her hand, and said helplessly, "This is not the time to separate people, I think it's just right for the adults to come."

Anya frowned slightly, as if she understood Jiang You's implication, she stepped in.Seeing this, Jiang You immediately stepped forward to help her sit on the chair, glanced at the figure who had been silent all this time, she didn't even respond to Anya's appearance, she shook her head, turned and closed the door and left.

In the room, only Anya and Xuan Luo were left.

As time ticked by, the two of them just sat quietly without any communication, as if each had their own concerns.

After a long time, Anya took out the white jade gourd and held it in her hand, before saying, "I never thought that the princess would be less talkative than usual."

Xuan Luo turned around, looked at the figure sitting quietly, and smiled lightly, "It's just a little tired." After speaking, he hesitated a little, "My lord, do you have something on your mind?"

Anya lowered her eyebrows, "At night, I met Tang and Song. In fact, we should be used to being forgotten by others and the world, but being forgotten by someone we cherish is really hard."

Xuan Luo: "..."

"Do you still remember the red thread I gave you?" Anya faced Xuan Luo and asked with a smile.

"Of course, I never left my body." Xuan Luo took out the red thread from his body and sighed, "It has been with me for a long time, but there is one thing I don't understand..."

"All ears."

"If this is an ordinary red thread, why hasn't it faded for thousands of years?" Xuan Luo held the red thread in his hand, and looked at the woman sitting opposite with gentle eyes. From the first time he met Anya, Xuan Luo looked forward to Many times, she had chatted face to face like this, and now she was sitting across from her. If it wasn't for Fang Min, she would have been uneasy.

"Since it's a red line, where is it an ordinary red line..."

"Oh?"

"This red line is also known as the marriage line. It is tied to your horoscope. When you find a marriage that matches your horoscope and get married, it will disappear." Anya said this, paused, and continued: "But this marriage The thread is formed when you are an ordinary person, and the zombie does not enter the reincarnation, if the princess does not cherish herself, it will disappear with you."

Xuan Luo stared at the red thread in his hand, frowning slightly.

"What does your lord mean, if I am an ordinary person, even if I die... the red line will still be there?"

Anya held the white jade gourd, stroked it lightly with her thumbs, and said: "Some marriages are eternal after death, commonly known as love. And some loves may only begin after death. What's more, the marriages searched by the red thread are also Not in this world."

"I don't... understand."

Anya put away the white jade gourd, drew a line on the table with her index finger, "In one's life, one can meet many predestined people; but there is only one person who is predestined, regardless of gender, age, or nationality. But fate always likes to play tricks on people, so it’s not easy to meet the destined person again? Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many people, because the obsession in the previous life was too deep, and the only way to convert to Buddhism in this life is.”

Listening to Anya's explanation, the room fell into silence again.Xuan Luo touched the red thread in his hand, thinking about what happened today, the corners of his bloodless mouth slightly pursed: "I seem to understand what your lord means. Maybe... this is the end of my failure to find a marriage."

Anya looked suspicious: "How do you say that?"

"Because I was born in the age of war and chaos, I have always taken life and death very lightly. I selfishly thought that as long as my parents and sister are well, everything will be well for me..."

Xuan Luo leaned on his chin with one hand, staring at the scenery outside the window, some vague memories seemed to appear in his mind, a small figure was chasing after him.

Xuanzi let out an innocent and lovely laugh, twisted a red plum tree in her hand, and happily stepped on the thick white snow.

——"Elder Sister, Eldest Sister, do you think it's the cotton robe red made by the embroiderer, or the plum blossom red in my hand?"

——"Both of these are not as red as your little face. Look at your cold appearance. Your shoes must be wet... Be careful if you catch a cold. If you are sick, I won't take you to see the lanterns."

To this younger sister, Xuan Luo has always owed something, and she has always been bitter about this debt for so many years.If she didn't bring Xuan Zi to the prime minister's banquet that day, would the result be better?

In other words, stop her from drinking that plum wine.

……

Because Xuan Luo hadn't finished speaking, Anya didn't interrupt, and just sat there quietly, waiting for her next words.

Xuan Luo, who had paused for a long time, sighed softly: "Helpless, everything fails to meet people's wishes, and they are all uneasy, but I... But I can't live, I can't die."

"The princess hates the prime minister, but she has no choice but to ask him." Anya knew that this was the reason for Xuan Luo's conflicts over the years.

"At first I hated him, wishing I could tear him into pieces. And... I also did something for revenge... I could even kill him easily." Xuan Luo's voice was extremely cold without ups and downs.

Anya nodded to show her understanding.

"But the prime minister said that Xuanzi's death was an accident, and he could think of a way to bring her back to life, and the only way to do this is..." Xuan Luo sighed softly, "Only the secret hidden by you and Master Sang can be solved. "

"He was referring to the last eight characters?" Anya followed Xuan Luo's words, thought about it carefully, and asked in confusion: "Didn't You Ming already take those eight characters?"

"That's right, after inspection, that parchment is indeed the last page torn from the Immortal Soul Record. Just like the Immortal Soul Record back then, all the words on the parchment disappeared." Xuan Luo continued: "And there seems to be something wrong with her memory. She said that she clearly read those eight words, but now she can't remember any of them."

"It's a volley illusion." Anya explained: "Replacing real memories with memories that don't belong to me. The Immortal Soul Records are the secret records kept by the An family and the Sang family respectively, because it contains not only the mystery of longevity, but also A shocking secret."

"Secret? A volley illusion?"

"As for what the secret is, I can't figure it out without seeing the last eight characters, but this volley illusion, in my opinion... is similar to your illusion."

Hearing An Ya's explanation, Xuan Luo seemed to understand why Jiang You couldn't remember anything.Unexpectedly, such power is hidden in this book.

Before Xuan Luo could speak, Anya said again: "Actually, it's not difficult to get rid of the way that the parchment characters disappear. But... I feel that the princess's concern is no longer about Xuan Zi, can you talk to me?"

Because Anya couldn't see, Xuan Luo's gaze never left this face. It was the first time she had known her for more than 2000 years, and she could look directly at this face that had always attracted her without any restraint.

As Anya said, the thing that worries her now is no longer Xuanzi, but when she thinks of Fang Min's figure, her eyes move away from Anya's face and fall back to the red line in her hand.And told Anya about her and Fang Min one by one.

Xuan Luo didn't go into too many details, because she knew that Anya knew Fang Min, so she really wanted to ask... Is this Fang Min her destined person?

These words really surprised Anya.She didn't expect that Xuan Luo would let that man go.

"Dare to ask, why didn't the princess kill him?"

Xuanluo didn't want to cut him into pieces, devour his soul, so that he would never be reborn, but when she thought of Fang Min's righteous and sunny appearance, she didn't do that, and instead used magic tricks to make him enter a dream, surrender himself, and Tell the world one by one about your criminal evidence.

It was only because of Jiang You's words that his body became so weak.

"...I don't want to destroy her beautiful memories of life and turn her belief into painful torture. This is not the result I want." Xuan Luo sighed helplessly: "But I don't know whether it is right to do so. wrong."

When Anya heard these words, the corners of her lips curled up slightly. She had seen too many causes and effects, and the only thing that could change an obsessed person like Xuan Luo was that she really let go.

"I have asked myself the same question." Anya responded, then resumed her expression and continued: "Over the years, the princess must be no stranger to my experience, and I once thought that the only way to make myself feel at ease is to let me feel at ease. The murderer must pay the price with his life..."

Although An Ya couldn't see it, Xuan Luo was still used to it and nodded in recognition.

"But when I realized..." Anya frowned suddenly, and shook her head helplessly, "Life itself is extremely complicated. Since I already believe in cause and effect, why am I obsessed with it?"

"……grown ups?"

"Even if I kill them, all the evil people will get my ideal end, but from another perspective, it's not the so-called deserved punishment, but I did the same thing as them." Anya touched the white jade gourd in her hand, every time Every time she recalled those pasts, she was used to this. She put her other hand on her heart and said lightly: "The Buddha said, even if your world collapses completely, the world around you will still operate as usual, and the devil is in your heart. If I do something against myself What is the difference between me and them in matters of belief, so I chose to accept it."

"But it's not easy to let go and accept."

"As long as you believe, you will always let go one day. Are you afraid that you don't have time?"

Xuan Luo's mood at this time has already been somewhat relieved because of this exchange, staring at this face carefully, and said softly: "Does your lord not care about the result?"

"Result?" Anya raised her finger and pointed at it, "Only the one above will know this question."

Xuan Luo didn't expect Anya to joke.

"Or..." Anya continued the topic just now: "We should accept our own suggestion and learn to let go."

Xuan Luo: "..."

"After all, there are some answers. If you wait... you may never get the answer." Anya said, "Or there may be some answers that you can only give yourself."

Xuan Luo: "..."

After the conversation, the room became quiet again.

"Princess, I have something to ask."

"Your Excellency and Xuan Luo don't need to be like this. If you have something to say, please speak. As long as Xuan Luo can do it, it is absolutely obligatory."

"I want to ask the princess to help me save someone."

Looking at this face, especially those bottomless eyes, Xuan Luo smiled and said, "Does your lord have any plans?"

……

When Fang Min woke up, it was already evening. When he opened his eyes, he saw the white ceiling and the hospital's unique chandelier. She was in the hospital?

Looking sideways, a female nurse beside the bed was helping her change the bottle.

Just when she was about to ask, the director's voice appeared on the other side.

"The doctor said that your health is fine. Thanks to you, that guy Zhang Zhi came to the police station to surrender. Let me say sorry to you. This case also ended several unresolved cases more than ten years ago. You But it’s a great achievement.” Seeing that Fang Min was at a loss, the director smiled and said, “Okay, just wake up and rest for a few days… After a year, I will help you apply for a promotion interview, and prepare well when the time comes.”

Fang Min: "..."

The director left without saying much. Fang Min looked at the nurse beside him and asked, "Why am I here? Who sent me here?"

The nurse shook her head: "You were brought here by ambulance. We are so lucky to have such a good policeman as Fang Team in City S." The female nurse took the medicine she had changed, turned and left with a smile.

Fang Min stared at the closed door, confused.

What happened in the end?
