Thousand Souls Introduction

Chapter 10: Endless suffering, it's a pity to look back 4

"It's acceptable, come here." When I passed the courtyard, my mother stopped me.

My mother smiled and seemed to be in a good mood today, probably related to the box she held in her arms. I walked over obediently, "What can I do for you, mother?"

"Mom, I have a good thing for you," she opened the box with a smile. I looked at it and saw a lifelike jade Guanyin lying on the satin. At first glance, it was not a bargain. "This is given to the princess by the emperor. There are two in total, so I deducted one for my good daughter."

I was shocked: "This, how can this be made! If the emperor knew..." "How could the emperor know?" Mother said carelessly, "Once the daughter gets married, it will be someone else's. How can the emperor control so much? And now even the son-in-law is yours, and the princess's things are all yours. There is nothing to worry about.

The son-in-law... When it comes to that man, my heart is full of bitterness. In order not to let my mother find out, I lowered my head and pretended to look carefully at the Jade Guanyin.

"Take it and put it in the room. If you have nothing to do, kowtow more. The Bodhisattva will bless you." My mother stuffed the box to me, and I hummed a little song to do something else.

I looked at the Yuci Jade Guanyin in my hand, and I couldn't be happy at all. The princess and I have been with each other since I was a child, treating me like a sister, but my mother took everything from me. Before the princess left the cabinet, my mother took a lot of her gold and silver jewelry. When others thought about it, my mother always said that she was also her daughter. Why is it different? The princess was docile and always gave me those jewelry according to her.

After the princess got married, the mother repeatedly obstructed the princess from summoning the son-in-law on the grounds that the woman thought** was a great evil. If there is no mother to build a bridge in the middle, the princess can't go to see her son-in-law in person, and it is not convenient to say many words in person. Seeing a pair of immortal couples, they were separated by her alive. And on the day my son-in-law came back drunk, I was forced to serve him by my mother, which was a later story.

The poor princess was full of sadness all day long. She closed the door and didn't go out. She talked less and less, and she became more and more haggard. I couldn't bear it, and I thought about telling her everything, but I was afraid that if she would blame me, my mother and I would fall to the ground. After all, my mother loves me. I can't hurt her, and there is nothing I can do to resist her.

I put Yuguanyin in the Buddhist niche in the room and lit the incense to worship deeply. If the Bodhisattva is merciful, please save the princess. The son-in-law has never been really happy with me, and I am even more afraid. Every time I see the princess, I can't wait to kneel down and beg for mercy.

The Bodhisattva smiled and seemed to hear my prayer.

"Why, why is this money bag in your hand!" Han Ruxu tried to calm himself down, but the cold sweat kept flowing down.

Compared with him, Wei Tanyi looks extremely relaxed: "Lord Han, why are you so nervous? If I want to denounce you, can you still sit here?" With that, he sat down in his chair.

In a short moment, Han Ru turned thousands of thoughts in his mind - how could he get the money bag? Did he follow himself? No, that's impossible; then maybe this is the trap he set? But the thief has nothing to do with him. With camouflage, some characteristics are still unchangeable; someone whistleblower? Only the owner of Qianzhuang should know that he deliberately chose an inconspicuous Qianzhuang in order not to be recognized. On that day, he felt deeply sorry for what he usually did. If not, why did he go to more than half of the capital to find a family that could exchange gold for silver at ease.

No, no, these are secondary. The important thing is... What does he want to do to himself when he gets this wallet?

"Lord Han, please rest assured that I will not tell anyone about this matter, because it will be of no use to me if I tell the matter." Wei Tanyi saw that he was restless and comforted him again.

Although he said so, Han Ruxu still couldn't rest assured and asked, "Where on earth did you get this?"

Wei Tanyi raised his eyebrows: "Of course, it is the money bank that Lord Han has been to. Yesterday, I happened to go to my owner's house to buy a batch of his jewelry, and he handed it over to ask what valuable it was. I was also surprised why human things came into his hands, and I tempted him to let him know everything.

After all, Han Ruxu was so depressed that he didn't want to talk.

"Although the pattern on this money bag is common, it can only be that person's thing embroidered in such a gorgeous color. Thinking of the continuous theft in the capital in recent days, it seems that he doesn't think about it except him." Wei Tanyi took a leisurely sip of tea.

Han Ruqi was impatient with his series of "he" and asked, "Who is that person?"

Wei Tanyi smiled and said, "Didn't Lord Han have seen it before? He still looks like he has to break the casserole and ask to the end."

"Eh?" When did I meet you?

Wei Tanyi seemed to recall: "On that day, Lord Han was patrolling the back street, and I was sending that man out. Don't Lord Han remember?" With such a reminder, Han Ruxu finally remembered what happened that night. At that time, Wei Tanyi was embarrassed to say that he had sent his lover away. Now it seems that the relationship is really extraordinary. No wonder it is useless to him.

"Where is that man now?"

"I don't know where I've been for a long time," Wei Tanyi said lightly. "His purpose is just to steal the pouring bottle of jade Guanyin from the King of Yan's Mansion and do something to hide people's ears. When he achieves his goal, he will naturally leave."

Han Ruqi held the knife with hatred and regretted that he actually let the criminal go. Compared with the jade Guanyin with a thousand taels of silver, that gold is simply not worth mentioning!

"However, Lord Han doesn't have to regret too much. The jade Guanyin in the King of Yan's Mansion was originally a forgery. At the beginning, a pair of jade Guanyin were disassembled, and only one was exiled among the people. Some people were greedy for money and made a forgery. His Royal Highness the King of Yan was also pitiful. He spent a high price, but got a forgery. I saw that the real one was a pity, so I bought it back. But it has long been broken into pieces.

Wei Tanyi said lightly that although his words were not fierce, he could also hear the meaning of "the king of Yan has no eyes".

"That other authentic..."

"It's also with me now."

"What are you talking about?"

The owner of Yue Zhai got up leisurely, but went to add water to the parrot. Han Ruqi said angrily, "Where is the real product now? How did it get into your hands?" This person really has some incredible ability to easily pocket what others can't get.

"It's in my room. Now it has lost its value. If Lord Han wants it, just write another IOU of 1,000 taels of silver.

She crossed the long corridor and rushed down the long steps. Although she had lost her body, she still felt her heart beating like a drum, and her breath was so short that her throat hurt.

Finally killed them, the mother and daughter, the mother and daughter who put her to death, finally died in her hands with fear.

The woman fell to her knees, crying and laughing crazily. Her neat dress was already messy at this time. The golden pin fell into smoke, and her clothes were broken and faded into the night. She took revenge, but still could not be reincarned. The former princess became a fierce ghost stained with blood on her hands.

She looked at herself in confusion, fear and grievance. She sobbed, but she couldn't say a word.

At this moment, she found that there was an inconspicuous Buddhist niche on the stone wall behind the sarcophagus, which seemed to have something in it, probably to suppress evil spirits. She ran over with a broken skirt and tiptoed to touch the Buddha statue in the Buddhist niche.

"Ah...ah--!!"

That was the pouring bottle of jade Guanyin she worshipped in the room. When she was desperate several times, she could only get peace of mind by kneeling and praying to it. Now it has been put into the cold underground palace with herself.

"Help... me, what should I do..." The woman cried and knelt to the ground, with her forehead against the cold ground.

Yu Guanyin was high with a smile on his face, and the clean bottle in his hand was upside down.

The helpless woman finally turned into a wisp of smoke and floated into the narrow bottle mouth.

"I can't really die because of my resentment, and my soul can't be converted, so I want to seek the shelter of God and Buddha."

Wei Tanyi stared at the white porcelain bottle in his hand: "I don't know where these so-called gods and Buddhas are watching compassionately when people are alive."
