Chapter 24 Chapter Twenty-Four

He calmed Jiang Lan's old grievances and rescued his father, but Wu Bingbing struggled in the abyss because of the past of that heart.That heart led her to unconsciously repeat the path that Jiang Lan had walked before, step by step becoming her past... When Wu Bingbing passed through Guangzhou, she went to the antique market in Shangxiajiu, found an old-fashioned silver shop, and asked to restore the longevity lock for her.A master craftsman received her, and in addition to repeatedly looking at the broken longevity lock, she also asked her to describe the broken parts.The old man flipped through a yellowing handmade picture book for comparison, asking for her opinion.Finally asked her to come back the next afternoon.When she came to the silverware store on time the next day, the master craftsman took out the repaired longevity lock, which was exactly the same as the original one, except that the outside was brighter.The old master said, according to the principle of repairing the old as the old, there is still a link that I have not dealt with. I am worried that if you deal with it early, you will think it is an old lock.Afterwards, he brought out a bowl of hydrochloric acid solution, diluted it, and put the longevity lock in. When he took it out after a while, the light on the lock disappeared and turned gray, and he rubbed it with a soft cloth dipped in the potion. Once again, it is antique, and the longevity lock has returned to its previous appearance.Wu Bingbing paid a processing fee of 300 yuan, leaving only a small amount of traveling expenses.

After returning home after a long journey, the mother saw her daughter, whom she hadn't seen for a month, with thin cheeks, and she was so distressed that she held her hand tightly.But she acted unusually calm, asked a few words about her father, then walked into the bathroom, rinsed and left with her bag in her hands.Mom asked her, don't you want to eat something?Bingbing said I am not hungry.Mom said that Guo Kai had been here and that he couldn't get in touch with you.Bingbing said that I lost my mobile phone, and hurried out without saying anything.She is going to find Master Hongtai.

When she came to the small building on the remote street in the east of the city, she met Master Hongtai and took out the longevity lock and handed it to her.The mage put the longevity lock in the palm of his hand, put his hands together in front of his chest, closed his eyes and listened in meditation.Immediately, she opened her eyes and said, the information inside is too weak!Bingbing asked worriedly, is it still effective?The mage said there should be, although it is faint, I can hear its voice and feel the memory stored in it.Bingbing felt relieved, she didn't want to tell the mage that the longevity lock was broken.

Master Hongtai said to her: "Okay, you lock the longevity to Jiang Lan first. She will like it, and she will take it with her later. In this way, I can cast spells to recover her soul." Wu Bingbing soon came to the Municipal Museum. Standing in front of the painting "Woman Practicing Yoga" in the art exhibition hall, she said sincerely: "This is your longevity lock, which your mother gave you since childhood." I brought it. I know it is very important to you. You have looked for it in the past, and you told me in your dream that because you lost it, you lost your true nature and couldn’t find the home of your soul, which made you unable to protect yourself. Hurt. I know, you are eager to get it again, to find your own memory, to find the place where your soul rests... Now, I found it for you, and I will return it to you, you can take it!"

The painting made a crackling sound, and the woman in white in the painting turned her face, stretched out a slender hand like a rod from inside, and gently stroked the longevity lock. "Longevity lock!—I want to find it, this is my long-cherished wish. You helped me find it, and I am very satisfied with you. This proves that you are willing to listen to me and obey me. In return, I Can help you, realize your wish, what do you want? Tell me?" "I think—can I make three requests?" "Say it! As long as I can do it." "First, you know, my dad was wronged, he didn't kill—"

"Come on, I killed it. I know you're going to bring this up, and I'm going to let him go. Now on to the second?" "Zhang Qun and her family are all good people, please don't hurt them any more?" "Hmph, she's meddling in her own business. She always wants to influence you and fight with me." "That's not it. She's helping me. She doesn't mean to fight against you." "Then why did she take you to the mage?—she thought I couldn't do anything to her with the amulet. That's why I killed her old lady and drove her away from you."

"You set up a trick to lure her away just to design and manipulate me?" "I just let you do what you want without interference." "You asked me to kill! No wonder I couldn't help myself at that time." "Stop talking nonsense! I won't kill her again. I no longer have the heart to kill. This is equivalent to agreeing to you. Let's go on, what about the third request?" "Don't look for me again, don't drive me to kill people, and don't kill anyone—" "Oh, God! You still want to get rid of me? I promised you just now, but I can do it. I obviously can't do it! It's not me who makes you kill, it's your heart that drives you, you can't Get rid of that heart - well, send the longevity lock to my house in the west of the city, put it on my bed. This painting is where I live during the day, it can't hide the longevity lock. I can't Put a long life lock on the neck of the woman in the painting. I really like it!"

Wu Bingbing went to Jiang Lan's house in the west of the city, unlocked the door lock entwined with wire and walked in, and saw that the melon vines under the awning in the yard were still so lush and green, and the easel was still standing there unyieldingly.When she opened the door and walked into the house, she didn't see the scary dog ​​and walked towards the west room.In the dim light coming in through the window, she once again saw a person sleeping on that bed—covered under the quilt, the slightly raised curve was obviously a woman's body. Bingbing approached the bed timidly, and yelled softly twice, but the person on the bed did not move.She carefully placed the Longevity Lock beside the bed.Then, she didn't go away, mustered up her courage, and stretched out her hand to lift the quilt.A bark came from behind her, and she jumped aside in fright.The dog sprang out from nowhere, it seemed that it only wanted to protect the person on the bed.Looking at the person sleeping on the bed, he didn't even move.

Driven by the dog, Bingbing ran out frightened and frightened.When she ran far away from the house, she kept looking back, as if unwilling... That night, in the detention center of the Public Security Bureau.In the cell where Geng Qingshan was once imprisoned, now the Wang Yang bandit Lei Liuhai, who was imprisoned for killing and stealing money, was shackling his feet and handcuffs and shaking the bars on the iron gate, yelling non-stop: "Get me the burning fire quickly!" Here comes the chicken, and the wine! I have more than a dozen lives on my body, and I will be shot in a few days, so I won’t let me eat! Let me drink! Bring the wine and the meat!—”

At this time, he suddenly stopped crying, stared blankly at the courtyard, and was speechless for a long time—because what he saw was not the cold face of the guard, but a fairy-like face of a woman smiling at him.The woman stepped down from the barbed wire fence, stood in front of him, and asked softly, brother, don't you remember me?Lei Liuhai grinned and said that you are a fairy who came down from the sky?She said that I am not a fairy, I am the little girl you knew in the past.Lei Liuhai smiled lewdly and said, no matter if you are a human or a ghost, I will definitely eat you today!As he spoke, he rushed over and hugged her.The woman exhaled a warm and fragrant breath, whispering in his ear like a fascination, don't be so anxious, close your eyes, put your head in my arms, I will let you enjoy it slowly.Yes, that's it, I took you to a place, you went earlier, there was a beautiful woman there, you had sex with her in bed, and you remembered after I took you there.At this moment, Lei Liuhai felt his body light and light, and he flew out of the dark cell with her, and breathed the fresh air outside...

Two days later, the news spread throughout the city that Wang Yang's bandit Lei Liuhai had confessed to several crimes of robbery and murder.The case where the bank president was arrested turned out to be Lei Liuhai. The "Southern Herald" published a report written by Zhang Quncai that day. The general content was: the murder of a female bank employee was revealed, and the implicated president was acquitted.According to the report, Lei Liuhai confessed to the police the process of committing the crime that night, saying that he was trying to steal money that day, and the woman who owned the house woke up and called for help.He also confessed in detail the time and place of the crime, the location of the apartment where the crime was committed, the furnishings of the home, and the general age and appearance of the deceased. Chu. President Wu, who survived the catastrophe, returned home, his hair was almost all white, and seeing his wife and daughter with tears in his eyes, he didn't know what to say.Bingbing comforted her father a few words, then hurried out with her bag in her hands.My mother explained quickly, saying that she was very busy, and left without saying a few words to me when she came back last time.Dad understood and said, let her go, thanks to her!She has really grown up. Bingbing walked downstairs, exited the gate of the apartment complex, and saw Guo Kai standing opposite.He was obviously waiting for her, so he hurried over at this moment, a little shy in front of her.He said with a guilty face: "I feel sorry for you. No matter how you scold me, I will come to apologize to you. The more I think about it, the more I regret it. Can you forgive me?" Bingbing said contemptuously: "Go away. We are not suitable, what I need is not a man like you!" After finishing speaking, she left in a hurry, leaving Guo Kai in a daze. Master Hongtai set up the Dharma table and asked Wu Bingbing to sit cross-legged facing the wall, with a floor-to-ceiling black curtain on the wall.A circle was sprinkled with white ash around her.There is a huge copper basin placed under the black cloth, and the copper basin is filled with mixed plasma, which reflects the light above it like a mirror.Under the shadow of flickering candles, the mage twisted beads and chanted scriptures.Suddenly, a wind blew up from the ground, and the clothes on her body swelled up and fell down again. As the voice of the mage chanting sutras became louder, a cloud of black mist appeared in the copper basin, and a white figure was wrapped in the black mist, which was crystal clear and transparent, running from left to right, as if being chased by someone.The white figure seemed to be breaking free from the black mist, black and white were entangled and rolled into a ball... Master Hongtai took out a retort from under the stage, which contained the holy water for casting spells. She took a sip first, walked ten steps east, ten steps west, and ten steps north and south respectively, and put the bottle in the copper basin. Center, and then spray the water out of the mouth.The fan-shaped water pierced through the black mist like flames, and the screams of pain could be heard from inside.The mage took out a sword from under the stage, swirled it around on the copper basin, and muttered words at the same time.The black mist curled up like a vortex under her sword. "Ninety-nine return to one, all things are in order, conduct good deeds in the world, do not kill all living beings, it is impossible to go against the way. Yin and Yang are in balance, each in its place, Yang Qi rises, turbid Qi sinks, and those who go against the law will be punished." Huang Huang Taitu, supported by the gods, all ghosts leave, return me to peace. Urgent as a law!—” In an instant, the red mist swelled up, driving the black mist towards the retort.The red mist covered it like a robe and threw it high. The black mist seemed to be unable to struggle, and when it fell on the top of the bottle, it turned into something like flowing water and burrowed into it.But the white figure pulled the black mist to break out.The retort and the contents of the room vibrated and swayed in this contest, making a cacophonous and chaotic noise. Master Hongtai raised his sword and struck directly at the white figure.There was only a scream, and then, like a silver bottle being broken, gold paste came in and out, and a white human figure emerged from the two split fogs. Horrified and angry.She pointed at the mage and cursed... "Bitch, why are you meddling in your own business? Why are you trying to kill me?—" The sorcerer chased her in the room with a sword, chanting a mantra while chasing: "The four great things are bright, the heaven and the earth are perpetual. The Xuanshui bathes the filth and removes the ominous. You have obtained the longevity lock of the hour, and you will be restored to your freedom without taboo and hatred." Nature. Now step into the bottle and I'll take you back to where you belong!—” Jiang Lan was furious, showing her ferocious face, and the black mist rose from behind her again, wrapping her again. Breathing black smoke all over the room, she swooped in and knocked the mage down.The mage immediately stood up and slashed with his sword, Jiang Lan hurriedly dodged.The mage brushed away the smoke and chased after him with his sword, while Jiang Lan hid in the room.There were town charms pasted on the windows and doors, and Jiang Lan couldn't escape. The mage raised his sword and shouted: "I am a real celestial master. I am ordered to subdue demons. Those who stand in my way will die! Watch my magic spell and swing the sword, destroy evil and evil, and all ghosts will hang in the air. The three days of righteousness will be as I said. Listen to the order Hurry up and lie down, or they will all be executed!—” Jiang Lan suddenly jumped behind the mage and stretched out her sharp claws to grab her.The mage felt a burst of pain, turned around and slashed with his sword, hitting Jiang Lan.The black mist fell from Jiang Lan's body like a severed garment.The mage picked them into the bottle with his long sword. Bingbing saw that the mage's back was bleeding a lot, and stood up to help her, but the mage pushed her away.Bingbing also picked up the wooden stick next to her and attacked Jiang Lan, guarding the mage from behind.The mage endured the severe pain and chased after Jiang Lan. Jiang Lan was hit by the sword repeatedly, and all the black mist covering her body was cut off, leaving her transparent white body.Jiang Lan yelled, and swelled into a huge body again, but it was as soft as cotton. She was stabbed in the vitals by the mage's sword, twisted a few times and fell paralyzed.The mage shouted again, bring the bottle and recover her.As soon as Bingbing stood up, Jiang Lan rushed towards her.She was thrown down heavily and passed out all of a sudden. The mage couldn't find Jiang Lan in the room, so he picked up the retort to spy and sealed it.Then she checked on the doors and windows, all intact, only one window was cracked and cracked.Just as he was thinking about whether he had escaped from here, he saw Wu Bingbing woke up, with his mouth open and unable to speak, pointing to his chest, and gasping for breath.The mage quickly opened the window, then turned to get water.In an instant, a white light flashed and flew out from the open window.The mage raised his sword and went after him, but it was too late. The mage fed Bingbing two sips of water with a bowl, and then she recovered, and said weakly: "She got into my body just now and hid in my heart. I am so uncomfortable that I can't speak." The mage said calmly: "I have taken six of her seven souls and six souls, and they are the ones who did evil and murdered. Although she escaped, those wandering souls that cannot be gathered will not cause much harm in the short term. I really don't understand, why the Longevity Lock didn't condense all her souls?" Bingbing said: "Master, I'm sorry. I didn't dare to tell you that the longevity lock was broken, and the inside was broken. I found someone to repair it later." The mage said: "No wonder, if the longevity lock gathers her soul, she will not be able to escape." "The master is saying that she has no ability to continue to harm people in the future? Will she still pester me?" "Evil ghosts are easy to catch, but wandering spirits are hard to catch. There are thousands of wandering spirits in the world, and they coexist with humans in different time and space. They cannot be recovered. Besides, we have no right to recover them." A few days of calm passed.Wu Bingbing let go of her psychological burden and felt more relaxed than ever before.But that afternoon, when she came back from the outside, seeing someone made her heart tighten again. She had just reached a place not far from home when someone came running towards her from across the road.She glanced at him and her head exploded immediately. Why is it him? ——Peng Lin, he really came after her. Peng Lin ran over, looked at her and said, "Oh, you made it hard for me to find you. I came here on the third day after you left, and I have been looking for you here for three days. I didn't expect to meet you today. Thank God !" "How do you know I'm here?" She clearly left him a false name and address. "I saw your ID card that day. I saw it when you went to wash in the bathroom. I only remember the city and this street, and I don't know where you live, so I had to stand on this road and wait. Finally, I waited for you." Oh shit!asshole!How could he peek?Wu Bingbing said: "You...know?" Peng Lin said: "You don't tell me...I can understand. Maybe I can't let you go?" "We're all young... like playing a game. Are you really in love with me?" "Of course I like you—but now, there are more and more troubles between us. I really didn't expect that. On the morning you left, someone found the thief's body. When the Public Security Bureau investigated Lao Hei, the guy said that I had found the thief. The thief, with a beautiful girl, died later, I suspected that I killed it. The police officers came to me, and I said that I didn’t know the woman, and I didn’t remember her name. I only heard her say that the thief wanted to kill someone. Killing her, she was in a hurry to chase her, and she fell off the cliff and fell to her death—" "That's right, he did fall off the cliff and fell to his death, doesn't it have anything to do with you!" "But they didn't believe it, saying that it was unreasonable to infer that he fell off a cliff and died. He had three fatal wounds on his body at the same time, and he was obviously killed." "It's unreasonable! He obviously fell to his death." Bingbing yelled: "How can you believe what they say? Look at me like this, how can I kill him? I can't kill him if I'm so thin?" "But, it's not up to me!" Peng Lin said, "They went to the school to investigate me, but they found nothing about me. I was released on bail. They also asked me to provide your clues and cooperate with the police to find You, otherwise I can't rule out the suspicion. I didn't tell them your real situation, so I came to you secretly first. It seems that only you can explain clearly, what was the situation at that time? How did he chase you on the cliff? You? How did you stumble and fall to your death? Only in this way can I explain clearly. You don’t know, that bastard Lao Hei is talking nonsense that my girlfriend killed the person, and the family members of the deceased are looking for me for this! The Public Security Bureau does not They won't let me go if they catch me." Bingbing felt that the problem was serious, so she decided that she could not stand on the side of the road and continue talking, so she asked where Peng Lin lived?Peng Lin took her to a small hotel in the suburbs. In the room, she was still walking up and down, asking Peng Lin again and again what to do? Peng Lin also had no idea, and asked, "Did you throw a stone at him?" She was looking away, turned her face and said fiercely: "Is there any need to ask? I chased him, but he refused to catch him. He fought me on the cliff and pressed me under him. I I thought he was going to rape me, so I picked up a stone and hit him a few times, but I didn’t think I was killed. What should I do then?” Peng Lin said, "Is this justifiable self-defense? Just make it clear to them!" Wu Bingbing was thinking in her heart, no, no, no one will believe it. She was frightened again, with a fear and weakness of imminent danger. Peng Lin hasn't eaten yet, she said I haven't eaten either, I'm going to buy some fast food, let's eat together. When she went downstairs and walked down the street, she wanted to run away, but then she thought, Peng Lin knew where I lived and what my name was, if I couldn't figure out the problem, where could I run?It can only be a dead end. At KFC not far away, she bought a set meal in a daze, then turned around and left.But she stood under the tree by the side of the road for a long time not wanting to move, her mind was in a mess.Finally, she put the set meal on the steps by the side of the road, ran into a nearby pharmacy, and quickly ran out again, carrying her things forward. At this time, her face turned cold, her cheeks were tense, and her eyes showed a fearless expression, which was completely different from her when she came here just now.While walking, she put a few sleeping pills into a glass of Coke, shook it solemnly, and then walked firmly to the hotel. Peng Lin talked to her while eating, looking very excited.He always wanted to be close to her, so he freed a hand to caress her from behind.She was expressionless, just eating with her head down, looking thoughtful.Peng Lin let go of his hand bored. Soon, Peng Lin felt a little dizzy, lying on the bed wanting to sleep, but restrained himself from wanting to sleep.Wu Bingbing also lay down next to her, pretending to be intimate with him, and when he saw him slowly getting confused, she threw herself on him, hugged him, and kissed his lips.He felt out of breath, but his limbs were weak and he was unable to struggle.Afterwards, she pulled the quilt over his head and pressed down on it desperately... She ran out of the hotel, ran back home in one breath, and locked herself in the room, shaking uncontrollably.She looked at herself in the mirror, and the image just now was superimposed in her mind—Peng Lin struggling under the quilt; she threw herself on him and pressed him; she timidly lifted the quilt; Suddenly glaring at her—she backed up and screamed in fright, it was an illusion in the mirror. She quickly avoided the mirror, shaking her head in disbelief of what she had done. She threw herself on the bed, pulled her hair and cried: "Why did this happen? Why?—" She beat the bed frantically, and threw the pillows on the ground indiscriminately—just before the tiptoes of a white skirt, a thin arm stretched out, and tremblingly picked up the pillow...
