Chapter 90 Love Brain is a Disease
Chapter 90 Love Brain is a Disease
The monk pointed to the grave and said in a gentle voice: "This is the woman's husband and the baby's biological father."
Lin Ruojin was stunned. She looked at the monk in bewilderment.
The monk's compassionate eyes were filled with pity and regret. He continued: "The woman's endless longing and love for her husband, the baby's unopened eyes, his desire for life.
Two completely different obsessions arose at the same time, firmly trapping the souls of these two people. "He paused, raised his hand and picked up the withered grass leaves and stones on the desolate grave that seemed to have been unattended for a long time and threw them aside.
"Look again now, lady, what is in your arms?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Ruojin looked down and saw only a ball of tangled black cloth in her arms. Where was the baby who had been crying and covered in blood?
"What's going on?" Lin Ruojin shook off the black cloth, his face full of confusion, "Could it be that this child and that woman have already..."
"You guessed correctly. The woman and the baby are both dead. But she and the child were too obsessed and didn't realize that they had been dead for many years, just like her husband. They wandered around the world with their longing for their husband, unable to rest in peace."
Lin Ruojin looked at the blood beads still oozing out of her fingers. Even though she knew that this was just a false illusion, she still felt from the bottom of her heart that the woman and the baby were extremely pitiful and miserable.
"I have been here for ten consecutive days, chanting sutras every day to pray for the souls of the deceased. Unfortunately, my ability is limited and I am not able to pray for the souls of this mother and son. Although we met by chance, could you please help me, young lady, to establish a good relationship with you and accumulate merits and blessings?"
Lin Ruojin was willing to do so, and the two of them walked one after the other to the stream where the woman had appeared.
The monk sat cross-legged, and Lin Ruojin followed his example and sat down.
"Can the female donor recite the mantra for rebirth?"
"will not."
"Then I will teach you the mantra for rebirth. If you recite it sincerely, you will be able to be liberated."
Next, there is a two-hour long silent recitation.
Seeing that the sky was getting darker, Lin Ruojin thought about the two hours his master had told him before he could start his studies, and a sense of impatience gradually welled up in him.
"Female donor, since you are going to save the deceased, you must first purify your mind."
Lin Ruojin's impatience was seen by the other party, so she stopped thinking about anything else and recited scriptures with him.
This scripture must not be read hastily or incorrectly. If one word is wrong, all previous efforts will be wasted. Lin Ruojin was very careful.
Unconsciously, she had recited the Amitabha Sutra more than ten times. Suddenly, she found that the sound of the sutra being chanted in a low voice on the opposite side gradually became smaller and finally could not be heard. Lin Ruojin suddenly opened her eyes and looked.
Oh my god, the monk is gone!
She stood up and looked around, but she met an old man holding a lamp. When he saw Lin Ruojin, he smiled and asked, "Why are you here, girl? It's getting dark soon."
"Uncle, did you see another monk just now?"
"I saw it." He pointed his dry and yellow finger in the opposite direction of the two people and said: "The monk went in that direction. Girl, I think you were fooled by the monk!
The monk was here every day, and I don't know how many people he had recruited to chant sutras for the woman. But the woman was not a good person to begin with, and I really don't understand what the monk was thinking. "
"How to say?"
"The woman was ugly, and no one wanted to marry her. But she had a crazy idea and fell in love with Mr. Wang, who was a scholar! How could he be attracted to her? But the woman pestered him and used some tricks to get pregnant and marry Mr. Wang!"
He snorted with disdain, "Not long after, Mr. Wang died young, and she immediately ran off with another man!"
"The deceased is gone, so let's not talk about it anymore." Lin Ruojin shook his head and said, "The monk is compassionate and uses his heart to save people. Does saving people also require asking about the life experience and past of the person being saved?"
The old man didn't get angry even though he was confronted. He handed the lantern to Lin Ruojin and turned to leave.
"It's getting dark. Please take this lantern to light your way back."
“…Thank you.”
Lin Ruojin looked at the sky which was gradually getting dark and was extremely angry. Although she spoke well of him, she really wanted to smash the lantern on the bald head of the NPC monk.
I've been working on this for quite some time, but I still have no clue...
Is it going to fail?
Forget it, if I fail, I fail. At worst I can just hold on for a year and try again next year.
There was still some time before the end of the test. Lin Ruojin remembered the agreement with Bai Wuxiang, so she stopped walking around. She sat on a rock with a lantern and chanted the mantra for rebirth taught by the monk.
After reading it once, a cold wind suddenly blew by. Startled, Lin Ruojin reflexively looked in the direction of the wind.
"Girl, have you given my child to his father?"
"..."
"Has he seen it? Is he happy about the child I gave birth to with so much effort?"
Lin Ruojin tried hard to suppress the churning in her stomach and averted her eyes from the woman standing not far away, her body soaked in pus and blood, her skin and flesh rotten to the bones.
From the glance just now, Lin Ruojin knew clearly that there was a huge crack in the woman's still swollen belly, and smelly and dark red blood was constantly gushing out from it.
As she walked, the water poured down onto the ground. The scene was truly horrifying.
"Girl, why don't you speak?"
"I couldn't deliver your child to your husband in person, he disappeared, but I can take you to your husband."
Upon hearing this, the woman immediately covered her face and shook her head, choking with sobs and saying, "How can my husband be willing to see me? I am so ugly and dirty..."
"It's not him seeing you, it's you seeing him, are you willing?"
"It's too dark..."
"I have a lantern that can light the way."
The woman didn't say anything else and silently followed Lin Ruojin towards the grave.
It was getting completely dark, and Lin Ruojin no longer had any hope of passing the level. He just wanted to end this situation as soon as possible.
But after a while, the woman said in a hoarse voice: "It's so dark... I can't see... I can't see..."
Lin Ruojin sighed, looked at the person not far away and tried to comfort him, but she refused to follow him.
Helplessly, Lin Ruojin had to turn back and hold the woman's wet hand, pulling her to continue walking, "Follow me, we're almost there."
"Girl...tell me, does my husband really want to see me and the child?"
"I really love him. They all say that I don't deserve to like her and I shouldn't like him, but I really can't stop thinking about him..."
"He hated me so much that he would kill me and throw me into the river, leaving me to disappear, even if I was pregnant with his child..."
Lin Ruojin paused. They were only a few steps away from the desolate grave. For Lin Ruojin, this truth was like having to go to the toilet urgently and realizing that she had forgotten to bring paper as soon as she squatted down.
What a regret.
Lin Ruojin's body was stiff, but she changed her mind and thought that she would not go berserk after dying at the hands of her husband and still thinking about him...
"If you want to hate, you can hate. This is your own freedom. But if you want to love, you can think about why you love. Do you feel guilty about your love? Do you regret it?"
The woman's face was dripping with blood and water.
"If you regret it, your husband will not go to see you. Your child has always been with you. She is your child. Although she is young, she has her own consciousness. You can make your own choice."
As soon as she finished speaking, the woman seemed to be relieved and took the initiative to let go of Lin Ruojin's hand.
