Chapter 131 The Resentful Woman
Behind her, the two paper figures stood respectfully at attention.
"What do you want to do?" Chang Xi rarely asked so seriously, but now she could feel the vital signs of the person in her arms disappearing.
Li Mengdie shook her head. "Don't be so harsh with me. His injury wasn't because of me. He was already close to death. In the dream, he was trapped in Li Mengchen's body and could have been safe. But he insisted on breaking free and rushing into the sea of fire, so he suffered the backlash."
But this backlash will only shatter his internal organs, which are easily healed, but during the backlash, his three souls will be drawn away by another force. Perhaps I can help you save him.”
[Internal organs ruptured, this person would be dead, wouldn't they?]
[The three souls were extracted; wasn't it Li Mengdie who did it?]
What does Li Mengdie want Gu Qingfeng's three souls for?
[Could she be the girlfriend Chang Xi mentioned before, the one Gu Qingfeng was talking about?]
"Conditions," Chang Xi understood that Li Mengdie was already far different from the one in the dream, and wouldn't be so kind as to help her.
Li Mengdie was somewhat puzzled. "I have returned to that village before, but the Zhou family has been gone for a thousand years. I have been looking for them all this time, but there is one person I have never been able to find."
Huo Dongjun frowned. "It's Zhou Sheng."
"Yes, if you can tell me where Zhou Sheng is, I will tell you how to save him," Li Mengdie said, seemingly very easy to talk to.
"It's the owner of the guesthouse," Chang Xi asserted. "Although I don't know why he was able to change his appearance and live for so long, the only person who could take the paper doll and seal it away after you died is Zhou Sheng."
He's afraid you'll come back for revenge, so he kept the paper effigy hoping it could sense your situation and react promptly.
"Oh," Li Mengdie said knowingly, "I was wondering why I hadn't sensed his soul all these years. Turns out he was wearing a human skin. Thanks. As for your brother, your spiritual power can heal his ruptured internal organs. You know who caused the disappearance of his three souls. Let me point you in the direction of the southwest."
Before disappearing, Li Mengdie said those same words again, "You are lucky, you have a good brother, I don't."
Chang Xi nodded and raised his hand to pour spiritual energy into Gu Qingfeng's body.
Seeing her pale face, Shen Kongming said, "You've been affected by the backlash in the dream too, don't force him to drink any more."
Huo Dongjun pressed Chang Xi's hand down, "Let me do it, I have more spiritual power."
After saying that, he continuously poured his spiritual energy into Gu Qingfeng's body.
Chang Xi held Gu Qingfeng helplessly, truly terrified that he might suddenly die, and that she would blame herself for the rest of her life.
Chang Xi, seeing Gu Qingfeng's dazed expression, was furious. "Why are you rushing in? Who needs your help? Who can you possibly save?"
That's not entirely true; Gu Qingfeng meant well.
Why is Chang Xi still angry?
Huo Dongjun stopped, turned around and walked to the side, taking out his phone.
"Master, let's take Gu Qingfeng to the hospital first," Lu Wenli suggested.
"No need to go to the hospital," Chang Xi composed herself and picked him up. "Let's buy plane tickets and head to Miao territory right away. The soul can't stray too far from the body; it'll be too late if we wait until we bring Gu Qingfeng's three souls back."
"Miao territory?" Lu Wenli thought of what had happened before and nodded. "I'll go right now."
"No need, I've called a helicopter, we'll go directly to Miao territory," Huo Dongjun said, hanging up the phone.
Lu Wenli looked bewildered. "Don't helicopters require flight route applications to be submitted a day in advance?"
"That's the regular route. I used the special lane," Huo Dongjun glanced at his watch. "The helicopter will arrive in half an hour. Let's find an open space and prepare to board."
"We'll go with you too," Yan Feishuang and the other two followed. "Maybe we can help."
This is the first time I've learned that helicopters need to apply for flight routes.
[This is the first time I've ever known that you can apply for a flight route through a special channel.]
I hope Gu Qingfeng is alright.
On the helicopter, Chang Xi held Gu Qingfeng tightly, wiping the blood from his chin and neck, her lowered eyes revealing no emotion.
The dazed and listless Gu Qingfeng grabbed her hand.
"What are you doing?" Chang Xi asked rudely.
Gu Qingfeng was currently unconscious and unable to sense Chang Xi's emotions, only murmuring, "Brother... Sister... Protect."
A single tear fell onto Gu Qingfeng's cheek.
Chang Xi turned his head away, his back to Hong Yan's eyes.
Huo Dongjun, however, noticed a glistening tear on Gu Qingfeng's face.
I declare that family love is the most delicious meal in the world.
[It tastes better than CP rice.]
Gu Qingfeng and Chang Xi are twins, a boy and a girl. Chang Xi was stolen shortly after birth, and Gu Qingfeng must miss his little sister very much.
[In his words, it was a bond forged from sharing the same amniotic fluid.]
Lu Wenli tilted his head. "Master, are you really sure it's okay to just tell Li Mengdie Zhou Sheng's whereabouts like this? What if Zhou Sheng dies? Wouldn't that be bad for you?"
"A beast dies and that's it," Chang Xi said, though it sounded unpleasant. He felt it necessary to explain, "He killed Chen Han and forced Li Mengdie to her death. Now he deserves to be chased and killed by Li Mengdie. Moreover, Li Mengdie can sense the state of his soul. The only way he can escape Li Mengdie's encirclement is to possess her body, which is why he has lived for so long."
"That old bastard, I wonder how many people's bodies he's taken."
Huo Dongjun also said, "Furthermore, the police are aware of our situation in the dream. They had already surrounded the guesthouses in the town. Protecting the hostages is the police's job."
If they fail to protect them properly, that's the Special Investigations Department's responsibility and has nothing to do with them.
They've been in the dream for so long, and the Special Investigations Department still couldn't arrange everything to stop Li Mengdie, so it's not their fault.
Lu Wenli understood, but still had questions. "Master, why does Li Mengdie seem so different from the one in the dream?"
"She's become a resentful woman," Shen Kongming communicated with them via walkie-talkie from another helicopter.
Lu Wenli didn't know what a resentful woman was.
"After suffering immense pain, women have a way to offer sacrifices to ancient gods, offering not their physical bodies but their primordial spirits," Chang Xi explained gently. "Buddhism believes that after death, the soul is a whole and enters the cycle of reincarnation. Taoism is different. We believe that the soul after death is the primordial spirit, composed of three souls and seven spirits."
After a person dies, their three souls and seven spirits are scattered and reassembled with the three souls and seven spirits of other people, thus forming a new soul to be reincarnated. Li Mengdie's words before her death were like a series of incantations.
By relinquishing the right to enter the cycle of reincarnation, she also relinquished the opportunity to become a part of nature, becoming a completely new species, detached from the six realms.
Shen Kongming replied on the walkie-talkie, "This new species is not restricted by the Six Paths, nor bound by the Heavenly Dao, and can only be created by people with deep resentment. People like Li Mengdie are called 'resentful women'."
"That sounds pretty good, like another form of immortality," Lu Wenli thought for a moment and felt it was quite nice.
