Chapter 167 It turns out that there is retribution in this world
This is the resurrection array he made for his wife.
He did this matter secretly, even his confidants didn't know about it, so how could Shi Anan know?
"What do you want to do?"
Even though he had lived for seventy years and had seen a lot of things in the world, no matter how hard he tried to pretend to be calm, he could not hide the turmoil in his heart.
Everyone has weaknesses.
His weak spot is his wife.
He indirectly killed his wife for fame and fortune, and later he kept doing good deeds to help her come back to life.
But his secret was discovered by Shi Anan.
Shi Anan smiled sweetly, but there was no emotion in her watery eyes. That unpredictable feeling made Jiang Tao even more panicked.
Suddenly, Jiang Tao's cell phone vibrated.
He quickly picked it up and looked at it.
Message from an unknown number: [I know this formation is behind the uninhabited village. It does not conform to the laws of heaven and should be destroyed.]
Jiang Tao's eyes widened.
He had watched the live broadcast before and saw Shi Anan destroy the magic weapon.
Cold and ruthless, without a trace of hesitation.
"You can't ruin it!"
He almost rushed to Shi Anan.
Ji Chen took a step forward and stood in front of Shi Anan.
He was tall, with a calm and cold aura, blocking Jiang Tao's sight.
Jiang Tao could only see Shi Anan's hands playing with the leaves, elegant and quiet, just like the vicious queen in the harem who was about to punish her maid.
Her reputation should have been ruined, but in an instant she was in control again.
Jiang Tao realized that Shi Anan wanted him to plead guilty.
If he doesn't admit his past mistakes, she will really destroy this formation.
Jiang Tao clenched his fists and thought about what happened fifty years ago.
At that time, he was chased to the mountain by an evil ghost and almost died at the hands of the evil ghost. By chance, he was saved by this snake.
He thought the snake demon would eat him. As the Jiang family motto often says, humans and demons cannot coexist.
But the green snake didn't.
It seemed to be full of curiosity about humans, and kept circling around him, "Do you humans want to eat herbs when you are injured? I will pick them for you."
It pushed the messy grass to him with its head.
Don’t say it, even though it felt outrageous, the negative energy in his body disappeared after he ate those herbs.
The green snake would also surround him and say strange things, "Man, you look quite handsome. I wonder if the little python would have the same appearance if he turned into a human."
"By the way, you don't know the little python, do you? He is my husband, and I am pregnant with his egg, and I am about to give birth."
"I want to do good deeds. They say that if you do more good deeds, your children will be more beautiful when they are born."
It talks a lot.
At first Jiang Tao was very wary, fearing that it was trying to confuse him.
Later, I gradually calmed down and realized that it was just a stupid snake.
Taoism believes in cause and effect. After he recovered from his illness, he caught a few chickens and made some wreaths with flowers and plants to repay the karma.
After he returned, the Jiang family was in serious internal strife, family members were betraying each other, customers were lost, and the family's reputation was damaged.
He always thought of this green snake.
He had no feelings for monsters, so he thought about killing the snake monster to increase the reputation of the Jiang family.
The green snake had done nothing bad, so he had no reason to kill the monster, so he secretly hired someone to do something bad and then slandered it.
When the villagers became angry, he led them up the mountain and burned the snake demon to death.
Everything went well. The python died, the snake eggs were broken, the green snake was seriously injured and escaped, and it was not a big deal. He became famous.
The Jiang family's reputation was restored, and his childhood sweetheart happened to be pregnant. That was the time when he was most proud and ambitious.
He became the head of the family at a young age, had a beloved wife, and would have children soon.
Just then, someone from the deserted village said that they had found traces of the snake demon and asked him to come over.
He thought it would be good to get rid of this trouble.
He went out that day, and his wife saw that he had forgotten to bring his magical instruments with him. She was afraid that he would get hurt, so she rushed to bring them to him.
She had a car accident on the road, killing two people.
He had clearly calculated that his wife had a good fate and was not supposed to suffer this disaster.
But it happened.
Even his wife's spirit disappeared.
After that, he often had nightmares.
Occasionally, he would dream about the days in the cave. The green snake said, "I must do good deeds. They say that if you accumulate more virtue, your child will be more beautiful when he is born."
Occasionally, he would dream about the snake egg that was broken into pieces in the fire.
It turns out that there really is retribution in this world.
The snake saved him, but he ended up killing the snake's husband and child.
His wife and children also died unexpectedly.
But it is obvious that this blame should not fall on his wife.
He's like schizophrenic.
Sometimes he thought that he had only killed a snake demon and he was not wrong.
After a while, he would think that he had repaid kindness with enmity and had harmed those innocent villagers. Even if he had not committed any murder, some villagers had been seriously injured because of him.
He started doing charity, he helped many people, and he even used his life's cultivation to set up a resurrection formation.
As long as there are meritorious gifts, he will give them to the formation and transfer them all to his wife's name.
Isn't it just paying back the debt? He can pay it back.
But no matter what he did, he could only gather one soul of his wife, as if some things could never be changed once they happened.
His wife is his old scar, a pain that he is unwilling to mention in his entire life.
Shi Anan still didn't say anything, like a judge in hell, quietly waiting for the prisoner to admit his mistake.
Even when he uncovered his bloody scars and watched him struggling to death, he showed no emotion at all.
Jiang Tao couldn't stand the psychological pressure and knelt down in front of Xiaoqing.
Studio--
【? ? ? 】
[Can anyone tell me what happened? What is that ghostly painted talisman in Shi Anan's hand? Why did Jiang Tao suddenly kneel down? ]
[I understand. Shi Anan dares to be so arrogant because she has something on him.]
[It’s so funny, this great philanthropist, the people who just supported Jiang Tao are here to get beaten]
[I don’t, I only eat melons]
【+1】
[I just looked at this man's fate. He has done a lot of good things over the years, so his merits and demerits are balanced. He is not a pitiful or evil person. It is his wife who is unlucky. Hey? His wife's situation is very strange.]
[For the previous one, I don’t care whether you pretend or not. If you want to edit it, can you finish it and leave no holes? ]
[Secrets cannot be revealed]
【Mad】
Xiaoqing was dumbfounded.
Jiang Tao lowered his eyes and said, "You and the other snake spirit have never done anything harmful to the world. You have even saved many people, including me. But I wronged you for the sake of my family's reputation."
"I don't ask for your forgiveness, I'm just trying to make things clear here."
"No matter the cause and effect, the retribution should be on me, and no one else should be implicated."
He finished speaking in one breath and the whole audience fell silent.
I originally thought that Shi Anan and the snake demon were acting to slander the aristocratic family, but why is it all true now?
The other people looked at Jiang Tao differently, even with some disgust.
Jin Xiaonuan couldn't believe it. Jiang Tao was an old fox. He had just made Shi Anan speechless. Why did he suddenly admit defeat? !
"Jiang Tao, was it Shi Anan who forced you? What was that piece of paper that Shi Anan took out? If she is threatening you, tell me."
Jin Xiaonuan went crazy.
Why can't I win the fight?!
Jiang Tao gritted his teeth and said, "She didn't threaten me. I just felt guilty and took the initiative to admit my mistake."
He only asked Shi Anan not to hit his wife.
Shi Anan looked at Xiaoqing and said lazily, "Are you satisfied?"
Xiaoqing had thought about it countless times, to cripple Jiang Tao, force him to kneel down in front of everyone and admit his fault, to clear her and the little python's name.
But for some reason, when everything it imagined came true, it suddenly felt boring.
Jiang Tao admitted his mistake and the truth came out, but his child and the little python were also gone.
Apologies are of no use, it doesn't make it happy at all.
It let go of Qin Qingqing and suddenly burst into tears.
Jin Xiaonuan thought she had caught Shi Anan and said, "Did you see that? Shi Anan is in league with this snake."
Shi Anan glanced at her and said in a very arrogant tone, "Even a blind person can see that if I don't act with Xiaoqing, will Jiang Tao recognize it?"
Studio--
[Jin Xiaonuan is just making random accusations. If An An slandered Jiang Tao, then she was indeed going too far, but she obviously did everything for Jiang Tao to confess his guilt.]
[The feeling of being in control of everything is so good. Damn, I kind of want to join the Xuanmen sect. Will An An accept me as a disciple? ]
[They said they don’t want to accept him anymore. How about you look at Jiang Tao? He is at the lowest point in his life. If you are still willing to be his apprentice, he will definitely be very grateful to you and teach you everything.]
[Go away!!! I hate people who repay kindness with enmity. I used to hate snakes, but now I feel sympathy for them.]
Xiaoqing cried feeling aggrieved.
Shi Anan might have thought it was too noisy, so he walked over and patted it on the head.
Xiaoqing's eyes were filled with tears.
Qin Qingqing couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Don't cry, I'll make you a pink hat and a pink scarf, and cook chicken offal for you in the evening?"
Xiaoqing was still very sad, with a faint dark aura around her.
It's about to become a demon.
A demon that has been possessed by a demon must die.
It looked at Shi An'an, its pupils full of anger and confusion, "Why didn't I get any good rewards even though I didn't do anything bad? I'm not happy at all when he apologized, but my child is still gone, and my little python is also gone."
"I clearly did nothing wrong. It was clearly the bad guys' fault."
"But I'm the one who's hurt!"
If the way of heaven is unfair, then what is the point of practicing?
What’s the point of following your heart?
It would be better to kill them all and do justice.
Shi An'an's eyes were indifferent, but her voice was soft. "The little python has been reincarnated. You can look for it, and you will have another child. Cause and effect are cyclical, and there is no difference."
She is like the way of heaven, seeming to be able to put aside everything and only look at the results.
But Xiaoqing is a snake with seven emotions and six desires.
"Then what does the injury I suffered mean? Did I deserve it in vain?"
The scars carved on its body and heart can never be erased.
Shi Anan nodded its head and said, "That's the price of growing up."
"I was once imprisoned in a place darker than the Yinmen Array. I don't remember how many years I spent there. But I never felt that it was unfair. That time made me cherish my free days even more."
This seemed to be an unspeakable secret, and thunder could be heard faintly in the sky.
Xiaoqing opened her vertical pupils and looked at Shi Anan. Her eyes changed from confusion to clarity, and suddenly she had an epiphany.
Its snake body vaguely transformed into the appearance of a young girl, but soon turned back into a snake, repeating over and over again.
It had been practicing for a hundred years but was unable to transform into a human, but after Shi An'an said a few words, it broke through.
Because it was just an illusion, ordinary people couldn't see it, but Jiang Tao, who had cultivated himself, saw it.
He couldn't believe it.
Who on earth is Shi Anan, and how could she be able to enlighten a snake spirit? !
He moved over and said, "Master Shi, can you, can you help me?"
He even changed his address and said excitedly: "You can calculate everything and enlighten it, so can you also calculate where the remaining two souls and seven spirits of my wife are?"
"I, I want to save her. As long as I can save her, anything is fine."
Shi Anan tilted her head and said with a smile, "Is anything really possible?"
Jiang Tao kept nodding.
