The face on the Cauldron of Good and Evil opened its eyes, but it was neither angry nor smiling like a good person. It looked neither angry nor happy, very calm. This situation is really strange. Ning Tao has never encountered it before. This is the first time.
But now is obviously not the time to study that face, and he is not in the mood to study it.
"Here..." Only then did Jiang Hao have the chance to speak, but she didn't know how to describe her feelings. Everything that had just happened, and the Tianwai Clinic she saw at this moment, were like a dream to her.
Ning Tao released his hand and was not in a hurry to explain to her where this place was, nor was he in a hurry to tell her the identity of his cultivation doctor. He just looked at her, his heart full of sadness, pity, and guilt.
He couldn't help but think that if he had been calmer and not made out with Jiang Hao in the cinema that day, and had not told her at that time that she must accept the existence of Qing Zhui's "destined concubine", she might not have been so impulsive as to sign the contract That kind of volunteer letter, right
Green smoke lingers in the Cauldron of Good and Evil, never refueling, and the seven-star lamp that never goes out illuminates this space. Jiang Hao looked at this and that, curious at first, and then calmed down. She seemed to understand something, and her eyes moved to Ning Tao's face.
Their eyes met, and there was silence.
It took at least a minute for Ning Tao to speak: "This is my clinic, it's called Tianwai Clinic. I have never brought you to see me before, but I didn't expect to bring you to the clinic in this way this time. Also, I have to Let me tell you, I am not an ordinary doctor, I am a practicing doctor. I treat illnesses and save people, and I also do justice to God.”
"I... I can't describe that feeling, but when I first came in, I understood. I saw the real you, and..." Jiang Hao was silent for a moment before saying: "There is also the real me. I can't go back. Went, right?"
Ning Tao said: "You took that medicine and now you have become a new demon. I can cure you, but..."
"Just what?" Jiang Hao asked.
Ning Tao was tangled up in his heart. Not telling her would make things easier, but he couldn't lie to her because it was related to her entire life. He couldn't make a decision for her because of his feelings.
"What are you talking about?" Jiang Hao was very anxious and wanted to know the answer.
"That's it..." Ning Tao hesitated for a moment, then said it, "You have two choices. Cure your current illness, but don't cut off the demon root. In that case, you will continue as a new demon for the rest of your life. …”
He couldn't go on. He still didn't know what kind of new demon she was, but no matter what kind of new demon she was, he wouldn't feel good if the woman he liked turned into a new demon.
"What's the other choice?" Jiang Hao stared at Ning Tao. She seemed to have a bad premonition in her heart and looked anxious.
Ning Tao sighed: "The other option is to cure you and cut off the demon roots. You will return to your former self and live the rest of your life as an ordinary person, but... you will forget me and this clinic. "
"No, I don't want to forget you!" Tears filled Jiang Hao's eyes, and she refused without even thinking about it.
How could she forget the man she longed for and was willing to sacrifice everything for him
Ning Tao stepped forward, held her in his arms, and comforted him: "Don't be sad, isn't there a first way to go? In fact, there is nothing wrong with being a monster."
"I've turned into a monster, are you okay?"
Ning Tao said: "Probably because we are influenced by traditional culture, our intuition always reminds us that monsters are bad and can harm people, so we have an instinctive feeling of rejection. But people have good people and bad people. Demons can be good or bad. I believe that even if you become a demon, you are still a good demon."
Qing Zhui is actually an example. She also kills and harms others, but the people she kills and harm are all bad people. She has never hurt a good person. Isn't this a good demon
"A Tao..." Jiang Hao broke away from Ning Tao's arms and looked directly into Ning Tao's eyes. He had something in his heart but did not say it out.
Ning Tao asked her: "You can say whatever you want."
"Have you ever liked me?"
Ning Tao smiled at her: "Not only did I like her, I still like her now."
A hint of joy suddenly appeared on Jiang Hao's eyebrows, and there was a slightly shy smile on the corner of his mouth. She finally heard Ning Tao's voice. Although it was a little late, it was as important to her as her life.
Ning Tao continued: "I have always been very busy after taking over this clinic. It collects good and evil rent every month... Forget it, I won't talk about it today. What I want to say is that I want to love but dare not love for some reasons. , I didn’t even dare to be with you, so I always avoided you. It wasn’t until I met you yesterday that I discovered that you were already hidden in my heart. It was like a seed quietly taking root and sprouting, and I also discovered it. My feelings for you are so strong..."
"Wait a minute." Jiang Hao suddenly interrupted Ning Tao, his pale face flushed.
Ning Tao was stunned for a moment: "What I said is true."
Jiang Hao looked at Ning Tao with deep eyes: "But your true words are so disgusting, my back is covered in pimples."
Ning Tao: "..."
Women are indeed the most complex animals on the planet. They obviously want to hear such romantic words, but they still say disgusting words. Sometimes you obviously want it, but you say you don’t want it.
But while Ning Tao was stunned, Jiang Hao suddenly came up and captured Ning Tao's lips.
Ning Tao's body suddenly stiffened, but he did not stop her. He was very nervous, and his response was also very stiff. This nervousness was not only because of Jiang Hao's kiss, but also because of the Cauldron of Good and Evil beside him.
Jiang Hao reached out to Ning Tao's body desperately, panting. Women are emotional animals after all. Once they are emotional, they are sometimes more decisive than men.
"Don't..." A vague voice came out of Ning Tao's mouth, but with this mouth, a soft and slightly sweet thing suddenly burst into his mouth, floating like kelp.
urn!
There was a sudden sound from the Cauldron of Good and Evil, and the space in the clinic was suddenly filled with a sense of pressure, like a mountain hanging overhead, threatening to suppress it at any time.
Ning Tao hurriedly pushed Jiang Hao away.
Jiang Hao's legs were weak and he knelt on the ground, trembling.
"Don't be afraid, you'll be fine as long as I'm here." Ning Tao comforted her and ran to get the bamboo slips of the account book to diagnose her.
Jiang Hao was very nervous and speechless. Ning Tao asked her to hold the bamboo slips of the account book, and she held it honestly. Ning Tao asked her to give him the bamboo slips of the ledger, and she honestly gave him the bamboo slips of the ledger.
Ning Tao opened the bamboo slips of the account book and checked the diagnosis.
The content on the bamboo slips of the account book emerged: Jiang Hao, born on the third day of the first lunar month of the Renshen year (1992), is a loyal and righteous person. The first act of being filial to one's mother counts as five merit points of good thoughts. The second best act of being loyal and righteous, protecting the family and the country counts as ten points of merit of good thoughts. The three good deeds save seven children, which counts as 42 points of good thoughts and merits... The first evil is disrespecting the father, which counts as five evil thoughts and sins, the second evil is creating a new monster, which counts seven evil thoughts and sins, and the three evils kill six people, which counts as 42 evil thoughts and sins... Good and evil are subtracted. If you have some good thoughts and merits in your body, you can prescribe a prescription of good thoughts and merits to cure the disease, and the evil will be eradicated.
Seeing such a diagnosis, Ning Tao couldn't help but smile, but his smile froze on his face in just a second.
She is a loyal person who has good deeds and bad deeds. After subtracting her merits from her sins, she actually still has some kind thoughts and merits. Then, what the bamboo slips of the ledger showed her was not a contract of prescriptions for evil thoughts and sins, but a contract of good thoughts and merits, and the evil was eradicated.
You know, a good person will forget the existence of the clinic after he comes in for treatment. This means that as long as this contract of kindness and merit is issued, Jiang Hao also signs it, and a puff of smoke comes over, and he and she will be together from now on. He became a passerby.
What was originally a simple situation became complicated because of a little kindness and merit.
"Okay, there is a situation I have to tell you..." Ning Tao said.
"Speak quickly, I feel so uncomfortable now." Jiang Hao's voice was trembling. Although what she endured was not the same level of suppression as Qing Zhui, even if it was a slight suppression, it was beyond the capabilities of a new demon like her. bearable.
"Let's go out and talk." Ning Tao also saw that she was feeling very uncomfortable at the moment, so he took the small medicine box and opened the door.
Jiang really wanted to get up from the ground, but his legs were weak and he tried twice and failed.
Ning Tao turned back, holding her legs with one hand and her waist with the other, picked her up and walked to the door.
After leaving the door, Jiang Hao felt much better. She looked back at the door of the clinic that closed automatically, and she felt like she was in another world.
Ning Tao placed Jiang Hao on the steps and sat down side by side with her: "I haven't finished what I said just now. This clinic charges rent for good and evil every month. Goodness is the merit of good people doing good deeds, and evil is what evil people get from doing evil. If I don't pay enough for my sins, I will have to pay for it with my life. One year of my life will pay off a little bit..."
Jiang Hao was dumbfounded, but as Ning Tao told her story, she finally understood why Ning Tao was avoiding her like that and didn't dare to accept her feelings and be with her. The monthly rent payment is a life and death struggle, how can he have time and energy to fall in love
"You have some good thoughts and merits in your body, so all I can prescribe for you is a prescription contract for good thoughts and merits. You have no atonement clause, and you will cut off your evil roots. In other words, you only need to sign the prescription contract for good thoughts and merits. You can go back to the past without reaching any terms of atonement, but..." Ning Tao was silent for two seconds before saying, "However, once you sign and receive treatment, you will forget about me and the clinic when you leave here. Everything about it.”
"No! I don't want to forget you!" Jiang Hao suddenly became excited, "I can't cure this disease!"
Ning Tao put his arm around Jiang Hao's shoulders: "Listen to what I have to say."
Jiang Hao nodded.
Ning Tao continued: "This is not a simple decision. You have to think about what kind of life you want from different angles, whether to be a human being or a demon. You have to think about it carefully. Once you have thought about it, I will Tell you what I think."
Jiang Hao looked up at Ning Tao: "I have already thought about it. I don't want to forget you. I want to be with you. If this is the price I pay, I am willing to pay it. Don't ask me again and tell me what you think. , I know you must have a way."
Ning Tao was moved, and he leaned into her ear: "My method is very simple..."
