Chapter 117: die by life
The father and daughter discussed it for a while, and felt that the top priority was to let Zhuoran know what happened to Zhuo Jinglun.
In order to keep Su Yunshao's identity as a Celestial Master secret, Dad Su would have to take Zhuo Jinglun to see another Celestial Master, at least through a cutscene.
Dad Su was an absolute scientist before. He didn't believe in metaphysics and didn't know any heavenly masters. The job of finding a heavenly master who was willing to help fell on Su Yunshao.
Su Yunshao counted the Celestial Masters in City B, Gao Ran is more likely to help her, but his reputation is not obvious, Hengshu Taoist has a great reputation, but he is good at formation.
She herself saw through Zhuo Jinglun's soul through Yan Wangyin, and then she knew what happened to him. Gao Ran and Hengshu might not be able to see it...try it.
Su Yunshao first contacted Gao Ran: [Minister Gao, have you found the formation of the construction site? 】
Gao Ran: [Daoist Hengshu found something similar to a teleportation formation, and his grievances were transmitted through this formation. 】
Su Yunshao: [Can anyone in today's world actually set up a teleportation array? 】
Gao Ran: [It's not the formation of vitality, it's the use of spiritual energy, which is something we are all blinded to. Daoist Hengshu has spent sleepless nights studying it, and just got a clue. Fortunately, you asked me to find Daoist Hengshu to have a look, otherwise, who can handle this thing! 】
Daoist Hengshu is so busy, Su Yunshao can't find him anymore, so he has to ask Gao Ran to go through the scene: [Are you free tomorrow afternoon? I want my dad to bring someone over and show you what's wrong with him. 】
Gao Ran: [What's the problem? 】
Su Yunshao: [A pure-bred Chinese, he had a disease at the age of six, and since then he has grown more and more mixed-race. 】
Gao Ran: [? ? ? 】
Su Yunshao: [That is the son of my father's brother. For some reason, I need to conceal my identity as a Celestial Master temporarily. I also ask Minister Gao to do me a favor. 】
Gao Ran: [You have helped me so much, this small favor is definitely going to help you, but you didn't see the problem yourself? 】
Su Yunshao: [I've seen it, let's not talk about it for the time being, I won't let you be preconceived, and after you have seen it, we will exchange information. 】
Gao Ran responded and agreed on a specific time and place. He didn't ask any further questions. He repeatedly recalled the characteristics described by Su Yunshao, and was really confused.
When Hengshu's formation research came to an end, during the meal break, Gao Ran told the story: "Master, have you heard of such a strange thing?"
Heng Shu's face became more serious the more he listened, and finally he said with a calm face: "Minister Gao, Pindao will go with you tomorrow."
Gao Ran: ?
"Oh, good." Tell Su Yunshao that Hengshu voluntarily asked to go together after hearing about it.
Su Yunshao had a premonition and told Dad Su that the people he was going to see tomorrow changed from one to two.
The next afternoon, Dad Su took Zhuo Jinglun to a coffee shop on the grounds of taking him to see a friend.
When they got there, they saw a tall, thin young man, and a middle-aged man wearing a Taoist robe and a Taoist bun, who was obviously a Taoist priest.
Dad Su: "Hello, two masters, I am Su Congwen, and next to me is my nephew Zhuo Jinglun."
Only at this time did Zhuo Jinglun know that Dad Su's so-called friend was this kind of friend. He didn't know what to say, so he nodded and kept a polite smile.
Gao Ran: "You two, please take a seat."
With his eyesight, he didn't see at a glance what was wrong with Zhuo Jinglun, "What should I drink?"
"Don't bother Master, we can do it ourselves." Even though he knew that the two in front of him were friends of Su Yunshao, Dad Su didn't dare to show his familiarity, so he asked the waiter to order two cups of coffee.
Afterwards, Dad Su sat upright and took out a few pictures that existed at home, "These are the pictures of my nephew when he was four and six years old. He is now twenty-one years old. Master, what do you think?"
Zhuo Jinglun glanced curiously, and there were no photos of his past at home, which led him to see his four and six-year-old appearances for the first time.
It's okay to say at the age of six, but there is a vague impression in his mind that he really doesn't know what he looks like at the age of four. It's only been two years, it should be very similar, right?
He thought so, and when he looked down, he felt extraordinarily unfamiliar. It was the kind of feeling that when he saw the little boy in the photo, he felt that the little boy in the photo was an irrelevant stranger, not his own past.
Zhuo Jinglun felt uneasy, he wanted to ask: Is this really me?
Thinking about it, it should be, right? Su's father and his father are good brothers, and Su's mother and his mother are good best friends. Just ask your parents about this kind of thing, you can't lie.
I don't know why, but after thinking this way, Zhuo Jinglun was even more restless and wanted to flee the scene immediately.
Gao Ran asked about the birth date, and Dad Su came right away. It wasn't the date and time of birth in Arabic numerals, but the converted birth date.
Gao Ran counted twice, looked at the boy in the photo, and then looked at Zhuo Jinglun who was sitting across from him, the surprise in his eyes could not be stopped.
And Hengshu had counted Zhuo Jinglun's birthday four times in advance, so he didn't need to count it again, he decided to ask Su Yunshao what his plans were first.
Hengshu: [Fellow Daoist Su, do you need me to tell the truth? 】
Su Yunshao: [It is troublesome for Daoist Master. 】
Hengshu: [He is also a poor person. 】
Hengshu put away the phone, looked at Zhuo Jinglun and said: "Your face and natal chart show that you will die before the age of six, but you have lived to adulthood, half of your face and fate will die early and the other will be healthy. These two cannot appear at the same time. Human things..."
Zhuo Jinglun didn't understand, "What do you mean?"
Gao Ran explained it in vernacular: "It means that you were originally going to die before the age of six, but after the strong interference of others, you forcibly grabbed people from the king of **** and dragged your life to the present."
Who would be reluctant to leave Zhuo Jinglun and want to keep him in this world?
Zhuo Jinglun knew the answer but couldn't believe it, "I, I just had a disease, I will be fine after a few months of cultivation, it's not as serious as you said, I, I will go first."
This answer is far more terrifying than the colorless and tasteless poison he was poisoned by. Zhuo Jinglun subconsciously wanted to escape the terrible truth.
He thought so, but his feet seemed to have their own consciousness, and he was not very obedient.
Seeing this, Hengshu sighed, showing such an expression as expected.
The waiter brought two cups of coffee, and glanced curiously at Zhuo Jinglun's strange posture that he was going to leave, and then looked back after the coffee was gone.
Zhuo Jinglun sat back in place silently, unable to explain his strangeness.
"Mr. Zhuo should be aware of his inappropriateness, right?" Heng Shu said, "A person's appearance and fate can be complicated, but they will not be clearly divided into two contradictory halves. That is the appearance and fate of two people. The result of being literally pieced together.”
Papa Su was shocked, this older Taoist priest actually said the same thing as his daughter!
Could it be that his daughter is still a hidden Xuanmen boss?
"What, what do you mean?" Zhuo Jinglun said awkwardly, his eyes were astringent and his mouth was bitter.
Hengshu: "I saw a person a long time ago. That person's soul was too weak, and he was born stupid. He should have lived a life of ignorance, and was integrated into the soul of others by an evil cultivator who did not know where he came from."
The situation described is not much different from that of Zhuo Jinglun, and the latter is the key point.
The three of them pricked up their ears and only listened to Heng Shu and continued: "How old is the body suitable for the old soul, if the body does not match the soul, there will be two results..."
First, the body overwhelms the soul, the collision is stronger, the body and soul are both dead, that is, the casting fails. The collision is not so strong, it is softer, and it will slowly break in.
Second, the soul overwhelms the body. If it overwhelms too much, the body will collapse and the spell will fail. Press down a little less, and the body will continue to move closer to the soul.
"You are the latter." Hengshu looked pity, "The foreign half of the soul is better than the original half of the soul, in charge of the body, you were young when you cast the spell, and there is still a lot of room for your body and bones to grow, so your appearance is unique. It will gradually gravitate towards the half of the soul that controls the body and become less like a Chinese."
Half of the soul is Chinese, and half of the soul is foreigner, which can explain why Zhuo Jinglun's face and fate are so divided.
Gao Ran had never encountered or heard of such a thing before, so he just thought it was incredible: "Ghosts have become robberies by doing this, which is more difficult, but living souls are so fragile, how can they stand up to such creation?"
"Evil cultivation has the means of evil cultivation, which is unknown to the people in our orthodox Xuanmen." Hengshu sighed and shook his head, "Evil cultivation is resisted, and sorcery is burned because these techniques themselves involve rules and violate human relations and ethics. Morality, and for sorcery to succeed, there must be a corresponding price."
"Could it be that my price is..." Zhuo Jinglun thought thoughtfully, "Have you lost all the memories before the age of six?"
Hengshu: "You and the original owner of your body were both split in half and reintegrated. The loss of memory may have something to do with this, or there may be an accident during the casting of sorcery. I only saw it during my travels when I was young. I've had one such example and didn't understand it deeply, but as far as I know, the price of sorcery will not be so light."
If the cost of losing his memory is not heavy, what should he really lose? Zhuo Jinglun didn't feel like he was missing anything.
"Then..." Dad Su patted Zhuo Jinglun on the shoulder, indicating that he hasn't finished asking, so he can't miss important information.
"Jinglun can still recover like this... Will there be any problems?"
"You don't have to think about recovery. His soul was pulled out of his original body. That body has been dead for fifteen years, and it's impossible to put it back in. We don't have the ability."
Gao Ran swallowed the words "unless you go to Xie Xiu again". It was not a question of the opposition between Xuanmen Orthodox and Xuanmen Xie Xiu, but...
The souls of two people are only half, not to mention whether they can be separated, even if they can, they must be separated and put back together, and they have to be integrated into other souls.
Zhuo Jinglun thought that fifteen years ago he spent a few months with his mother in the country, and Xie Xiu should have done such unforgivable things to him at that time, right?
He is not the real Zhuo Jinglun, so who is he? Where are his parents? Will his parents suffer for the rest of their lives because of the loss of their son?
Dad Su suddenly asked: "If the body will move closer to that half of the soul, why is there no problem with the paternity test of this body and the biological father?"
Zhuo Jinglun suddenly returned to his senses, what kind of paternity test?
Gao Ran asked, "What about the paternity test with your biological mother?"
Dad Su gave Zhuo Jinglun an embarrassed look, "A normal paternity test takes seven days to get the result, and it takes four days for an urgent test, and I haven't gotten it yet."
If it wasn't for Zhou Hong and Zhuo Jinglun both coming to their house this time, Ruan Mei and the three of them secretly pulled their hair while they were asleep, they might not have been able to get a complete sample for testing.
Zhuo Jinglun: "..." So Dad Su and his dad have long suspected that he is not biological?
"I don't know much about this kind of thing..." Gao Ran made a bold guess and estimated, "If the paternity test between him and his biological parents is all right, then it is possible that he used the soul of his biological brother to make up for it."
Dad Su: "There is only one half-brother."
Zhuo Jinglun: ! !
Suddenly turning his head to look at Dad Su, he wanted to ask how Dad could betray Mom and cheat? Then I thought that Zhou Hong was not necessarily his own mother, and I felt a little sluggish.
Gao Ran spread his hands: "I don't even need to say that you already know."
Of course, it is also possible that after the soul of a stranger who has nothing to do with enters this body, it only changes its appearance, but does not change its blood type and genes. Zhuo Jinglun didn't believe it himself, and Gao Ran didn't bother to waste his words.
Hengshu hesitated for a long time, but still chose to say it: "The person I met was sometimes sober and sometimes stupid, and the soul alternately took charge of the body. It was difficult for family and friends to accept it, and he couldn't accept this schizophrenic life. He committed suicide..."
What Hengshu said later, Zhuo Jinglun did not hear, his attention has drifted away.
Although his father lived outside and didn't come home often, and he didn't talk much to his mother when he got home, his father was very gentle to him, not stingy financially, and gave him academic guidance.
Apart from not getting his mother's approval and often making her angry, he believes that the past fifteen years have been pretty good in the past 15 years.
Once he learned that he was a child born to his father who cheated on him, Zhuo Jinglun didn't know how to express his feelings.
Understand why his mother treats him hot and cold, good and bad, hates his identity as an illegitimate child, is curious about the mother who has never met, and is glad that he is still his father's child... After all the complicated emotions, what he wants to know the most Or your other half.
This other brother who was occupied by him and lived in this body with him for fifteen years, the half-brother who was supposed to be in opposition, became an inseparable half-length existence.
Zhuo Jinglun touched his beating heart, and a crazy thought popped up: If I were to commit suicide, would that brother appear?
"Jinglun, Jinglun?" Dad Su shouted several times, but without getting a response, he pushed Zhuo Jinglun's shoulder.
Zhuo Jinglun: "Huh?"
"The master has gone, we should go too, I have to tell your father today's progress."
"Uncle, my dad knows that you brought me here to find the master?"
"Yes." Dad Su nodded and glanced at the time on his watch, "I have to go back to the company to do some errands. I'll ask the driver to take you back."
"No, I can take a taxi back by myself."
Zhuo Jinglun rejected Dad Su's request for the driver to send him, and took a taxi to the largest river in City B.
He stood by the bridge and looked at the calm river under the bridge for half an hour, recalling what happened in the past fifteen years as he can remember. In addition to being frustrated by his mother, he had a father and friends who loved him and was afraid of death. I'm reluctant to give all this to the brother who has never been masked. Moreover, he has been thinking about suicide for half an hour standing here, and his brother has not appeared, probably there is no way to appear, right?
Zhuo Jinglun touched his beating heart and said to the brother who didn't know if he could hear it: "Hello, Zhuo Jinglun, I'm your brother when we first met. My mother changed my name to distinguish us. ?"
"I'm sorry, forgive me for being so attached to the world and unable to return this body to you. If you can still come out, we can discuss the right to use the body. If you can't come out, how about we become brothers in the next life? , a true half-brother."
His heart beat faster, and it seemed that Zhuo Jinglun was responding to his proposal.
"Thank you." Zhuo Jinglun smiled relievedly and turned to leave the bridge.
Seeing that he finally left with a smile on his face, the little girls next to him who had been waiting for more than half an hour sighed in relief.
"I thought he couldn't think about it, and scared me to death."
"My call to the police almost went out."
"Oops, my burly brother is almost here, let him go back now!"
"Such a good-looking little brother, it can't be an accident."
Hearing the conversations of the little girls from a distance, Zhuo Jinglun was slightly startled and smiled even more happily.
Strangers he had never met cherished his life so much, why would he give up so easily?
He ran back quickly, took a hundred yuan from his wallet, and gave it to the little girls, "Thank you for waiting for me to pay attention to me on such a hot day. I am ready to save me at any time, and I invite you to drink milk tea. ,goodbye!"
Zhuo Jinglun waved his hand and ran away.
From now on, he must study medicine harder, break through medical difficulties one by one, research more effective medicines, and save more lives!
The newly born grand plans and ambitions shrank quietly after returning to Su's house to meet Aunt Hong.
"...Mom, Aunt Wanwan."
That is the illegitimate child's subconscious and evasive reaction when he sees his wife.
Aunt Hong: "I'm back."
Su Ma: "Auntie made mung bean soup, go and drink a bowl."
"Okay, thank you mom, thank you Aunt Wanwan." Zhuo Jinglun went to the kitchen to fill a bowl of mung bean soup, and after drinking it quickly, he went back to his room to read the paper. Others still maintain contact with foreign countries in China, and their research has not been completely cut off.
On the other hand, Dad Su told Zoran, Gao Ran and Heng Shu what they said through a transnational video.
Zhuo Ran was so angry that he swept all the office items on the table to the ground, and smashed a lot of them with ping bells and pongs.
"Zhou Hong wants to deal with my lover and illegitimate child. I can understand why she tossed her own child?"
Dad Su took out the photo that Su Xuyang took with Zhuo Jinglun at the birthday banquet, pointed to the Jade Buddha and Jade Pearl and said, "The master said that the Jade Buddha calms the soul, and the Jade Bead frightens the soul. The soul of such a young child is already weak. If the soul is weakened to death, it should have to find someone else's soul to mend it, right?"
Zoran: ! !
He stared at the jade Buddha, "Isn't this a gift from my mother-in-law?"
Dad Su decisively dug a hole for his brother, "Are you sure it was given by Zhou Hong's mother, not Zhou Hong's own?"
"I'm sure..." When Dad Su said this, Zhuo Ran, who was full of confidence, couldn't help but wonder if his memory was wrong. Dad Su's memory back then was known to the whole school.
"...not sure."
Dad Su took advantage of the situation and said, "I could have asked Wanwan to ask, but it's just that this thing is not with me, so I don't want to bring it up suddenly. If it arouses her suspicion, it's not good to do something secretly."
"I'll look for it!" Zhuo Ran grabbed the phone and walked away, switching the video from the computer to the video on the phone, and said while driving, "I live outside and don't go home very often, and I still have the keys to my house, I'll go to her Find it in the safe!"
More than half an hour later, Zhuo Ran arrived home and easily opened the safe with Zhou Hong's own birthday.
The safe has five layers, the top three layers are precious jewelry, the fourth layer is the real estate certificate, and the bottom layer is a few scattered things.
The first is an ordinary silver bracelet, the second is the Jade Buddha and jade beads worn by Zhuo Jinglun, and the third is two black wooden plaques.
Dad Su said that he would ask the master to help take a look, and ask Zhuoran to take photos and videos of these things and send them over.
Zhuo Ran took them out one by one in order, carefully photographed them and sent them out. The whole process lasted for more than an hour.
Dad Su received a copy and forwarded it to Su Yunshao, while Su Yunshao looked at so many expensive jewelry for life, and the question resurfaced: For whom did Auntie Hong buy so many jewelry for life?
Compared to this problem, it is not so important for Aunt Hong to have the same black wooden plaque as Wang Cuihua.
Su Yunshao counted the people that Aunt Hong might help with: Aunt Hong herself, Uncle Zhuo, Zhuo Jinglun, and the people behind the scenes.
Uncle Zhuo has already created a lover and an illegitimate child. With Aunt Hong's temperament, he should wish that Uncle Zhuo died early so that he could inherit that large inheritance.
The people behind the scenes will not say for the time being, whether the person who needs to borrow life is Aunt Hong herself or Zhuo Jinglun, this point, you can make a judgment today.
In the evening, after dinner, Su Yunshao asked Zhuo Jinglun to go upstairs to chat.
Aunt Hong was happy to see it succeeded and readily agreed. Zhuo Jinglun had to go up and asked with her eyes: What are you doing?
As soon as he entered the room, Su Yunshao said, "Do me a favor?"
Zhuo Jinglun: "What are you busy with?"
Su Yunshao took out the sealed blood jade bracelet, "This bracelet is a gift to me from Aunt Hong on my dad's birthday."
"Huh?" Zhuo Jinglun blinked, "Is it a gift for you? Why do I remember that my mother said that this bracelet was rare and valuable, and it was a coming-of-age gift for Yiyi?"
Su Yunshao slowly raised his head, with the storm that was desperately suppressed in his eyes, "Are you sure?"
"Blood jade bracelets are very rare, and those of this quality are even rarer." Zhuo Jinglun took it and looked at it twice, pointing to the two blood-colored silk threads on the bracelet, "Yes, I said this bracelet when I saw it at the time. There is also a crooked and faintly visible Yizi on it, which is just right for Yiyi."
It's not a character, it's a small half of a character.
Based on Zhuo Jinglun's words alone, Su Yunshao guessed the reason for Su Yiyi's early death in her previous life: she was forced to die by the bracelet's lifespan.
In this life, because of her sudden appearance, has Aunt Hong found a better gift object? But how is she better than Su Yiyi?
Su Yunshao decided to give it a try, "I couldn't refuse Aunt Hong in front of so many people, but now I want to return the bracelet to her. According to my mother, this was originally bought by Aunt Hong from the auction. For self-care."
Hearing the front, Zhuo Jinglun also wanted to say that the gift he gave out was not easy to take back, but when he heard the back, he hesitated a bit.
In any case, my mother's body is really not very good, that is to say, it has improved a little in recent months. If this bracelet has the function of self-cultivation, it is better to use it for my mother.
"Thank you Yunyun." Zhuo Jinglun accepted the blood jade bracelet, "Cousin will find a more suitable gift for you in the future! My cousin doesn't have that much money, and the gift he found may not be as valuable. I hope you don't dislike it."
"How could it be?" Su Yunshao smiled and said, "Giving a gift is just a matter of heart. It's good to have a heart. It doesn't matter whether it is expensive or not."
Zhuo Jinglun nodded with a smile, he walked on his front feet, Ruan Mei went up with three hind feet, and Su Yunshao quietly followed to the stairwell.
Zhuo Jinglun was holding the blood jade bracelet, and as soon as he went downstairs, he was seen by Aunt Hong, who was sitting in the living room chatting with Su Ma, and his face changed greatly: "Who asked you to take that?!"
