There is a grass in front of Xianjun's gate

As soon as he recognized his location, Master Li's face immediately changed. He stood in front of a garden and hesitated, but after a long, long time, the surrounding scenery did not change a bit.

He finally realized that if he didn't move forward, the illusion might never go away.

So he gritted his teeth and stepped into the garden in front of him.

Master Li is very sure that he was in the back garden of the palace at the beginning, and the surrounding temperature was the same as when he encountered a ghost hitting the wall in the palace that day, but I don't know why the subsequent development is different from that day.

Not only did he come to his home, even the temperature around him changed.

It becomes very hot, like summer.

In midsummer.

As soon as he realized this, there were bursts of cicadas chirping around, making the cicadas feel even more irritable.

Master Li remembered that this was the day his eldest son turned one year old.

At that time, he had just finished the imperial examinations. In his 30s, he had passed the imperial examinations three times, but failed every time. His family was already in trouble because he insisted on studying. Be a teacher.

They all had a good life, but he was the only one who never looked back on the road of the imperial examination.

His wife gave birth, but he couldn't afford to hire a midwife. He, a big man, actually helped his wife deliver the baby himself. For this reason, he became a laughing stock among the neighbors. His wife fought hard and gave birth to a fat boy.

This son seemed to be the only light in his life, but when he was one year old, he found that his son couldn't laugh and didn't respond to the outside world.

He secretly asked the doctor and knew that there was only one possibility for this situation, and that was that his son was a fool.

He mentioned this matter to his wife several times, but the wife said that the child is too young and will be fine when he grows up.

Master Li did not refute his wife.

As a result, when he was one year old, other children had already started to learn to walk, and his son was not afraid yet.

Master Li felt very disappointed that day, so he went to the back garden alone - this house was left to him by his ancestors, and it was the only remaining family property that he had studied for so many years.

All the tables, chairs and benches in the house were sold off, leaving only an empty house.

At that time, he was hesitating whether to sell the house together and change to a smaller house, which would make life easier, but his wife disagreed anyway.

Master Li remembered that he was troubled in the yard for a long time.

When he went back, the only old servant in the family suddenly fainted. His wife was weak and frightened, and also passed out. fell down.

At that time, he was standing here, watching the silly boy finally learn to crawl, and then moved towards him bit by bit.

But this old house... has a lake.

The silly son didn't know that there was a lake in front of him. After finally learning how to climb, he fell into the lake.

he……

"You just entered the door and saw your one-year-old child crawling towards you little by little. You hesitated, and he fell into the water. You regretted it and rushed to save him, but it was too late. , Not only did you almost drown, but your son also died in the pond of the old house."

Just when Mr. Li was thinking about the past, the voice of Mr. Zixi suddenly came over. He suddenly raised his head and found that he had returned to the previous palace, but the difference was that he finally He found out why he didn't go out all day that day, because his son, who had been dead for many years, was lying on his lap and pulling him.

He thought he kept going forward, but in fact he was frozen in place, motionless.

And Mr. Zixi was standing in front of him, still wearing the white dress with silver silk and moiré patterns, luxurious and indifferent.

There was no superfluous expression on Mr. Zixi's face, but the faint look in his eyes seemed to swear that Li Wende was a guilty person. He watched his son climb into the lake with his own eyes, but refused to save him.

The things that had been buried in Li Wende's heart were revealed. Finally, he couldn't bear the pressure all the time. He knelt down on the ground with a thud, and said loudly, "No, I didn't want him to die..."

He just hesitated for a moment, and when he went into the water again, it was already too late!

Of course Hanshu knew that he didn't do it on purpose. When a person faces a difficult situation, a choice that is beneficial to him will subconsciously flash in his mind, but Li Wende didn't do that. He knew he couldn't swim, so he went down, but he didn't. Can save his son.

Moreover, after so many years, he is still blaming himself for that moment of hesitation.

Such a soul can't actually be considered guilty, but Li Wende kept blaming himself, that's why he couldn't get out of the palace that day.

Because the formation that Mei Changying set up was based on the guilt in a person's heart, the deeper the guilt in the heart, the longer the time of being trapped.

But those ministers who have killed people, or done really bad things, were only trapped for a while. Only this Lord Li was trapped in the palace for a whole night. At the gate of the palace.

Hanshu would not persuade him, but he stretched out his hand and waved to the ghost baby holding Li Wende's leg. Mei Changying's formation can only arouse guilt in people's hearts, but he can find ways to make him sleep and eat according to Li Wende's thoughts. The root of his uneasiness, and help him rescue his eldest son who has been submerged underwater for decades.

Seeing Hanshu beckoning, Gui Ying crawled towards him. As soon as Gui Ying left Li Wende's body, Li Wende felt much lighter.

Then he watched the ghost baby climb onto Hanshu's lap, and climb up his body until it was held in Hanshu's arms.

Hanshu ignored the ghost baby's frightening and bruised face, hugged him, and coaxed him tenderly.

It was only then that Li Wende remembered that although he went into the water to save the child, he had never hugged the child since he discovered that the child was a fool.

But the first time the child learned to crawl was to come to him... At that time, he even smiled at himself.

It turned out that what he had been guilty of all along was not that he failed to rescue his son, but that he was so indifferent to his son because he was a fool, but who would have thought that such an accident would happen that day, and he would never crawl His son learned to crawl at that time, and even crawled out to find him.

If he had been more careful before that and put his son in the cradle with a cover, he would not have fallen to the ground, or if he had been more careful and closed the door before leaving, his son would not have come out up.

But he did nothing, and it was because of this that the child died.

Li Wende, who had thought about it clearly, couldn't hold back the guilt he had suppressed for decades, and knelt down to Hanshu on the spot: "I am sorry, Immortal Chief! I was wrong!"
