I never thought that one day I would see Shen Tuo crying, but it was just an imagination. I never thought that such a day would actually happen, because I never felt that Shen Tuo was someone who would cry. Maybe I forgot that there is a saying in the world, "Men do not cry easily."
Shen Tuo hung back his tears and raised his head to look at me. His eyes were the emotions that I understood. There was sadness, helplessness, and more often, it was a kind of "suffering", the "begging but not" that comes from four kinds of suffering.
"Yan Nuo," Shen Tuo said, "I know you definitely feel that this is incredible, but this matter is so sudden, without any warning, and it cannot be stopped. If I had a way to make you dislike me, I would have used it a long time ago and would not have suffered as I am now."
"I admit, every time I told you that there were different people and ghosts, you and Sang Ming couldn't have a good ending. You two should separate, I have my own selfish motives, I think you can leave him, and then feel sad and sad, I will have the chance to comfort you, and when you are at your weakest, I will take the opportunity to make you fall in love with me. Haha, I didn't think that a police could be so vicious, right? I didn't think of it either. "
"No!" Shen Tuo's appearance looked a little scary. I was a little worried for him, so I panicked and shouted out loud. It was only then that I realized that the control of my body was back.
Not being able to care about that, I took a step forward and stuck to the pillar of light, "I don't feel that you're vicious, although I have no way to respond to your feelings, but after experiencing so many things, I have long treated you as my own brother, and you are also a very important person in my life!"
Shen Tuo was still smiling, "But that's only an important brother."
A person's heart can only hold one person. Since my heart was filled by Sang Ming, I naturally couldn't tolerate anyone else. However, this didn't mean that others weren't important. There are many emotions and relationships that make up life. Love, family, friends, siblings, every kind of relationship is essential, why can't we maintain our current relationship, why must we forget about it, these words are all grand and convincing, but if it were me, would I really be willing to believe and accept them?
The answer must be no. If I like Zishan Ming and Zishan Ming likes others, I can only be his friend or sister. I will be sad and unconvinced, and I will want to know how I am inferior to her in his heart.
So in the end, the reason why Shen Tuo is in such pain is because of me.
My heart felt like it was being squeezed, and a dull pain wrapped me tightly from the inside to the outside. I didn't know what to say to make Shen Tuo calm down and what kind of emotions to use to face him.
Just as I was feeling sad, the voice of Wenxin appeared in my mind and calmly said: "Little Your Highness, you still have this Shen Tuo in your heart, don't you?"
I shook my head helplessly, "In my heart, there is only Zishan Ming. However, I always feel sorry towards Shen Tuo, but this matter still happened because of me. If it wasn't for me, he probably wouldn't be torturing me like this."
"But don't you think you're thinking too much? The affection of others rests on you, and the love you want to release. Even if you need it, there is no need for you to respond. The Buddha of Wan Ci is unable to take into account all the living things in the world. "
"I know, I know, but, but I still can't get past my heart."
Jianxin suddenly sneered, "You really are a Bodhisattva. En, my little princess, since you feel guilty towards Shen Tuo, then I will give you a chance to make amends."
My heart suddenly thumped. I didn't think that Wen Xin would be so kind as to use a spell to erase the feelings that Shen Tuo had towards me.
"What are you trying to do!" I quickly went to ask her, "Wenxin, don't do anything rash! You were asked to watch this by the old King of Hell, he definitely wouldn't want to see you die here. "
Zishan Ming, Shen Tuo, and the pillar of light beside me returned to their original positions. I formed a triangle with them once again.
"Little Prince, now, with you as the controlling force, whether or not there will be any deaths, it all depends on you. You still have a quarter of an hour to consider, just like you said, you really love His Highness, if the pillar of light disappears, you can hold his hand, and the two of you will survive."
"Then what about Shen Tuo?"
"Since the two gods love each other, there is no need for this person to exist. There is always a place in the Underworld that needs him. Don't worry, he won't become a ghost."
That means if I choose Zi Sang Ming, then Shen Tuo will die! But he didn't make a mistake. Why did he lose his life over something like this? Besides, if he died, what would happen to his family, his colleagues, and Li Ke! He didn't deserve to die!
A surge of anger surged through me as I angrily said, "Wenxin, are you treating human life like grass?!"
In the end she actually laughed even louder, "If you don't want this Shen Tuo to die, just hold him back after the light pillar disappears, he will naturally survive, but in response, I'm afraid that the result will not be very good. Although I don't have the power to make His Highness die in the Underworld once, but that doesn't mean that I don't have the authority to lock him up, in any case, it's normal for the god race to forget about him for a hundred years.
But I don't want to leave him for a day now.
I could tell that Wen Xin was deliberately targeting me. No matter how I choose, I won't end up well in the end.
"Half an hour has already passed. Young lady, have you thought about it?"
My mind was almost full of mush. What else was there to think about?
Zi Sang Ming, I must be with him, but I can't let Shen Tuo lose his life, otherwise, I will catch two people together! That won't do, it's too far, I can't catch them.
Ah — I wish I could split myself in half to catch them both, why must I choose!
I wasn't sure what to do. But at this moment, the pillar of light, which should still have lasted a few minutes, suddenly flickered and then went black like a broken bulb.
Zi Sang Ming!
Without thinking, I pounced towards the light pillar where Zi Sang Ming was and jumped into one of my arms.
The pillar of light once again lit up.
Shen Tuo stood beside us, and the black smoke that had turned his heart back into his body. Standing on the other side of me, I threw Zishan Ming onto the wall. The corner of his mouth curled up into a smile.
After a long while, I finally woke up from my fear. I could see from the smile on Wenxin's face that this was just a test and I had somehow passed it.
Actually, at this time, I also realized that what I thought before the pillar of light went dark, what I struggled with, what I thought, was completely useless. Even if I wanted to save him, to keep Shen Tuo alive, and then said to myself, I must save him, and then protect Zi Sang Ming for hundreds or thousands of years, but as if the pillar of light had suddenly gone black again, will I really head towards Shen Tuo?
No, as long as Zishan Ming disappears from my sight, even if my mind is clear, my hands and feet will not be under the control of my own mind.
Why struggle?
Zi Sang Ming touched my head and touched my forehead. He held two of his fingers together and flicked them lightly, "Don't be afraid, everything is fine now."
I know that everything is fine now, but how am I going to face Shen Tuo? No matter what, I still selfishly gave up a life for love at a crucial moment. I'm sorry.
"Your Highness." He didn't know when Wenxin had appeared behind me and whispered to me, "You don't need to worry. Every hurdle here, every question needs to be answered with the most sincerity in your heart. Don't worry."
"But …"
"If you are worried that you will not be able to face your friend when you return to the mortal world, I will erase his memory."
Shen Ta was just about to smoke his cigarette when his body was suddenly frozen. The heart of the question went over and pressed against his forehead. A light black dot floated out from between his brows and entered the pitch black body of the heart. Shen Ta had disappeared.
This is also good, just as many people do. Love a person, human nature, you can't just let yourself choose to say "good" to another person out of sympathy just because the other person's feelings were sincere to you. It would be disrespectful to yourself or to him.
Zi Sang Ming helped me up and said with a dark expression, "What you just said."
Hm? What did he say?
Zishan Ming's tone suddenly turned serious, "You said that Shen Tuo is my love rival."
"No, listen to me. I mean I don't want him to be your rival in love."
Zi Sang Ming's tone remained the same and his gaze was majestic, "Then who do you want to be this king's love rival?"
This would be very boring! I pushed Zi Sang Ming away and rolled my eyes at him. "Like a child."
Wen Xin bowed deeply towards his son, Sang Ming, "Your Highness, I've locked him up. This subject has an item left behind by the old King of Hell, I ask that Your Highness accept it."
The main topic was, Zi Sang Ming took a neatly folded piece of clothing from Wen Xin's hands and opened it. It was a black Qilin cloak with dark lines embroidered on the collar and cuffs. It was embroidered with auspicious clouds with black lines. A black band of hair flew behind Zi Sang Ming when he opened his cloak, tying up his black hair.
This set of clothes could be said to be completely different from the white feathered clothes that Zang Ming wore. However, just by looking at it, one could tell that this black cloak was not an ordinary one.
Sure enough, after Zi Sang Ming carefully examined it for a while, a smile appeared on his face, "This old man really knows how to hide his strength. I've searched through the entire Underworld, but couldn't find him, and he's actually with you.
