I can finally sleep forever with faith and obsession.
This sentence is like a spell, constantly circling in my mind.
The moment the pervert hugged me out, I still hadn't escaped from everything I had just done.
I stared blankly at the dark hole, the liquid in my eyes was still flowing out.
The temperature of Xuanyuan Lingyin's soul seemed to remain between her fingers, so cold and desperate.
Before coming out, on the altar where tens of millions of souls were imprisoned, all the souls that flew out were hooked away by those giggling little ghosts.
They took the sickle that didn't match their height at all, tied those souls and left.
Xu Mang, who had been guarding the gate of the cemetery, saw that it was getting late, but he didn't see us coming out for a long time. He was about to bravely go to the cemetery to have a look, but saw us walking towards him.
He showed an excited expression in surprise, and trotted to us. After seeing my tearful face, he asked nervously, "What's the matter, is the little girl injured?"
I saw him looking at me, I shook my head, wiped my tears again, pulled out an ugly smile, and said, "It's okay."
Xu Mang is not stupid either, he knew something had happened when he saw my crying voice and the ugly faces of the two people beside me.
His first thought was that the exorcism failed.
But obviously, he guessed wrong.
"The exorcism was successful."
"Then you should be happy. Why are you all so sad?" Xu Mang was relieved when he heard An Xuan say this, and his tense body suddenly relaxed.
I said with some emotion: "Uncle Xu, you don't know what happened."
"This matter is not worth being happy at all."
Xu Mang looked at us suspiciously, and looked at me strangely, not knowing what I wanted to express.
I hooked the corners of my lips and smiled bitterly. Seeing the darkening sky, I stretched out my hand in the direction of the tower.
"Go back and talk about it first, and tell me what happened."
When we all sat down and described what we saw, heard, and experienced in the cemetery and in the underground world, Xu Mang's face showed a shocked expression as I expected.
But his expression, from shock, gradually calmed down, and finally calmed down.
He didn't seem to be afraid of the cemetery anymore. After knowing the truth, he, a middle-aged man, couldn't help but sigh.
"It turns out that my ancestors did that kind of thing before."
I calmly said: "That's about your ancestors. It has nothing to do with you or your family. Their sins have long been buried with them after their death."
"What I can't let go of is the few words she said before leaving. For the first time, I feel that a person can live like this and spend his life like this."
"Everything I did was just to give an explanation and justice to my people, and I was willing to leave my soul in the world for hundreds of years."
What words should I use to describe Xuanyuan Lingyin's deeds? I have no idea.
Chris returned from making a phone call outside, sat on the stool directly, and said to Xu Mang: "Mr. Xu, since we have completed your commission, you also know the truth of the whole thing, and you got rid of the tomb keeper. fate and responsibility."
"You can get out of here and live your own life."
He was right, originally he stayed here because of his ancestors. Now he knew that the reason why the Xu family came here was not because of God's call, and the root cause had been completely resolved. He could also leave here with peace of mind from being a grave keeper.
Find a job in the city, buy a house, if possible, fall in love and get married, and live your own life.
The Xu family can continue to continue, and the blood inheritance will not be broken.
However, what Xu Mang said next shocked us all.
"No, I'll just stay here."
I stared at him with wide eyes and asked in disbelief, "Why?"
"Aren't you fed up with here? Otherwise, why did you invite Grandpa An and the others to drive away the ghosts? Now that the matter has been resolved, why do you still stay here?"
At this moment, Xu Mang's decisions and words made me feel for the first time that he is a middle-aged man.
A responsible middle-aged man, not the timid man I saw at the beginning.
"Little girl, you said that this place used to be the place of the Xuanyuan family. My ancestors did such unreasonable things. Just a few hundred years ago, hundreds of people died here overnight."
"Just like what Xuanyuan Lingyin said, I can't do it and leave like this."
I looked at him in surprise, he smiled at me slightly, his voice was very low, it seemed that his character was still relatively weak, but the momentum in his words was much stronger.
"Didn't you say that there are tombs where my ancestors are buried in the cemetery? It is indeed my responsibility to guard this place."
"Also." He curled the corners of his lips tiredly, looked at one place in a trance, and murmured, "I'm here, and I'm used to living here, and I'm used to being alone."
"It's better to choose to stay here."
Chris obviously didn't agree with Xu Mang's decision. He frowned his golden eyebrows and said, "I've sent someone over to arrange a temporary residence and job for you. Are you sure you want to stay here?"
When I heard this, I couldn't help but glance at Chris.
Even though his appearance looks stern and tough, his behavior now makes me feel that he is a very good and magnanimous man.
He was able to consider many things, and in order to help a person who was not related to him arrange a place to live, or even find a job.
If it were someone else, after coming to help exorcise the ghosts, they would definitely leave directly. Who would be so kind to help with so many things.
Just when I thought Xu Mang would be moved by this and change his mind, he waved his hand and looked at the gradually darkening sky outside the house.
"Thank you for your kindness, I want to stay."
He said with some embarrassment: "At first I was afraid of this place, especially when I knew there was a very powerful ghost in it, but your words let me know, what should I do."
In the end, after another round of persuasion from us, he still chose to stay.
One day in the future, I heard that Xu Mang built a tombstone for Xuanyuan Lingyin, right in the middle of the cemetery.
A line of words engraved on the tablet reads——
A person who sleeps forever with faith.
After everything was settled, we went to the hospital. After listening to what I had told, Grandpa An leaned back on the bed and heaved a sigh of relief.
"It's a sin, it's a sin." He also seemed to be shocked, and repeated it over and over again. He rubbed his forehead, and finally closed the books on the table.
"It's all thanks to you this time." He looked at us with relief and kindness, and nodded with a smile.
"Especially you, girl Hua." I looked at Grandpa An in surprise, not knowing why he emphasized me so much.
He looked at me with a look that I couldn't understand, and finally he let out a breath, and said to An Xuan and Chris: "You can go to the two wards opposite and help me visit those children How is the injury?"
"Go and take care of your brother, An Xuan." He waved his hand, as if to send An Xuan and Chris away.
Chris seemed to know what Grandpa An wanted to do, so he immediately withdrew.
"My lord, can you allow me to have a private chat with the empress?"
The pervert was reluctant at first, even after my persuasion, he still refused to leave, so he had to stay in the end.
"Girl Hua, are you a backtracker?" Grandpa An raised his eyebrows and asked. Hearing these three familiar words, I immediately thought that Xuanyuan Lingyin had also said this word.
backtracker.
"I don't know, Xuanyuan Lingyin also called me that, maybe because I can go back to their memories when they were alive."
He looked at me with a complicated expression, and asked with some worry: "Hua girl, why are you..."
"Because the ghost suppressing order is in my body, I seem to have this ability."
I thought Grandpa An was going to ask me this question, but he frowned, shook his head and said, "I didn't mean that."
"Grandpa An knows that you have a ghost-suppressing order in your body. It's very normal to have this ability. What I'm worried about is..." He stopped talking abruptly, and he remained silent for a long time before continuing.
"There used to be a backtracker. Unlike you, he has this ability because of the special reason of the ghost suppression order. He is also a hermaphrodite and an exorcist, but his ability is to go back to the memory of the soul during his lifetime."
"But do you know what his final ending is?"
I couldn't help but thumped in my heart. I always felt that once Grandpa An asked such a question, nothing good would happen.
Sure enough, Grandpa An sighed, looked at me complicatedly, opened and closed his mouth, and held back a word for a long time.
Just this sentence is enough to make me feel like a thunderbolt.
"He ended up going crazy."
Grandpa An closed his eyes, and said with a little reluctance: "He was very kind at first, and his ability to exorcise ghosts was also very strong, but every time he went back to his soul memory, he not only consumed a lot of Yang Qi, but also his lifespan."
"Not only that, but he also endured too much pain from these evil spirits, because they can touch the reason why those souls who do not want to die stay in the world."
"Some are for revenge, and some are for resentment. All the sufferings these poor people have suffered will be felt by the tracers in the same way."
Grandpa An sighed helplessly: "So, in retrospect again and again, his body became weaker and weaker, and finally became weak and sick. A lot of dark side, the burden in his heart is all on him."
I know, know very well.
I nodded and replied softly: "I know, Grandpa An."
Grandpa An touched my hair distressedly, and finally hugged me in his arms. He patted my back with his rough hands, and comforted him: "So, Grandpa doesn't want you to use this ability. do not use."
"No matter how strong a person is, you can't bear so many tragedies. They will only become more and more heavy. In the end, they will be like a mountain. Even a god can't escape completely. You know, Hua girl?"
