Journey to Seek Past Reincarnations Chapter 8: Horizontal branches


"What?" I froze for a moment, "Sanatesi, stop making trouble, you should go back to modern times first, I will go back when I finish the task—hey, let go!"

Before I finished speaking, Sanatesi picked me up and walked towards the big altar-like bed. As soon as I fell into the feather-soft bed-, my body began to tremble, and I raised my head to avoid his crazy plundering. He freed a hand to gently press my forehead, and covered it with his cold and slender hand. My eyes were covered, and the same cold lips covered them again.

"Wait, Sanatesi, I, I am human..." I struggled to resist his attack.

"It doesn't matter if you are a human being, Yin, if you don't want to become a blood race, you can stay with me as a human being." He whispered in my ear, and waves of chills spread from his palm to me Limbs and bones.

I shivered all over, his kiss fell frantically again, I only felt that my eyes turned black, and the tip of my tongue was sore from being sucked by him, and I wanted to tell him to stop, but the sound changed unexpectedly. It turned into a soft moan, I wanted to push him away but was rubbed by his hand so that my whole body became limp, it seemed that I didn't even have the strength to open my eyes, and a strange passion flooded into my body like a flood...

I seem to have lost the strength to resist, his cold body temperature seems to have taken all my heat...

"Yin, why did you leave without saying a word...don't...leave me again...one day...not allowed..."

The ambiguous fragrance travels along the floor and walls, and lingers in every corner of the room. Accompanied by his deep and lingering voice, his gentle and powerful touch, my mind is getting more and more in a trance...

Is it related to Xiang...or...

A mess in my head...

"Why would you want to be Janica?"

"In this world, there are things I want to fight for, people I want to protect, and goals I want to achieve."

At this moment, these few conversations with Mu Lian suddenly flooded into my mind, yes, what's wrong with me?

What the **** am I doing? My task has not been completed, Asuka is still sleeping, I still have many things to do, I need to wake up.

I took a breath, and bit my hand hard, and the pain made me wake up immediately.

"Sanates, stop!" I reached out and grabbed his wolf claws that were wandering on my body, he was obviously taken aback, his eyes were still full of lust, and he didn't intend to stop at all. There is no other way, Sanatesi, I want you to wake up too. I stood up, and regardless of whether he was a vampire or not, I just grabbed his shoulder and let out a huff.

"Hmm..." He let out a low cry, stopped moving, and looked at me in surprise.

"I, I want to complete the task earlier, go back earlier, and save the bird earlier... So Sanatesi, please...stop..." I looked directly into his ice blue eyes and said in a low voice.

He hesitated for a while and then slowly let go of his hand, just staring at me, the **** in his eyes faded away little by little, replaced by the gentleness I am familiar with. He turned his head and looked at his shoulder, I blushed, and a row of my teeth marks were neatly left on his left shoulder.

He looked at it for a while, then suddenly laughed.

"What are you laughing at?" Seeing his weird smile, I blurted out and asked.

He gently covered the tooth marks, and said in a low voice: "This seems to be the first time that Yin is so passionate, although the kiss was a little bit harder."

"Hey, I was biting, not kissing, okay?" The corners of my mouth trembled.

"Go to bed early." He still smiled, lightly blew out the candle, and embraced me from behind.

"I said, do you really want to sleep in this position?" I said depressingly, it seems that tonight it is impossible to escape the clutches of the devil's claws.

His hand tightened even more, and he moved it up restlessly, with a hint of teasing in his voice, "Then let you choose, either continue what you just did, or keep this posture."

"Ah, isn't there a third option?" I immediately stopped his hand from moving any further.

"Yes."

"What?"

"Kiss me."

"Bah!"

"Hehe..."

I opened my eyes wide in the darkness, and the situation reminded me of the scene in his castle long ago, and also of his sad past.

"This teeth mark..." He suddenly murmured.

"What?"

"——Just don't disappear forever."

My heart moved, as if there was a strange soft feeling spreading all over my body...

Sanates...you idiot...

When I was awakened by the first ray of sunlight in the morning, I found that Sanatesi had already left.

Almost forgot, he is—— can never appear in the sun.

I sorted it out and gently pushed the door open. The women outside the door smiled secretly and cast ambiguous looks from time to time.

"Xiao Yin? Are you okay last night?" Po Xumi also walked over slowly, held my hand, looked me up and down carefully.

"I'm fine." I understood what she meant, and felt a slight heat on my face.

"Then the guest?" She glanced into the room inadvertently.

"It's gone." I said calmly.

"Gone? When did he leave? No one saw him leave this room?" She looked surprised.

"How is it possible, you didn't pay attention." I laughed a few times. How could Sanatsi swagger and leave from the door. She still wanted to say something, but suddenly Dharma hurried in from the outside, she handed a note to Poxumi, Poxumi looked at it for a while, her face changed a little, she suddenly raised her head and looked at me After a while, he finally said a few words: "He wants you to see him."

"Who?" I was confused.

"Lord Nemo, no, it should be Lord Mulian."

"Mu Lian wants to see me?"

"This is a note from him, which says that you should go to see him." There was a hint of inexplicable emotion in Po Xumi's voice.

Why did Mulian take the initiative to let me see him? With a full belly of doubts, I came to the Sala tree by the Ganges River.

As usual, Mu Lian sat there quietly and chanted sutras. The sun shines through the luxuriant branches and leaves, shedding soft beams of light, the breeze is slow, the fallen flowers of the Sala tree are floating in the breeze, and the petals are gently brushed over his long hair, leaving behind a wisp of fragrance, which then passes away quietly. There is no trace. There is a saying in the Buddhist scriptures that "the sky is falling wildly". At this moment, when I look at the scene in front of me, what I feel is not the unfathomable solemnity, but the nature and harmony of the unity of man and nature.

Such a person, it is really hard to imagine how romantic and absurd he was in the past.

He seemed to sense my arrival, and smiled slightly. When he smiled, there seemed to be a strange sense of transparency and purity around him.

"Yin, you are here."

"Mu Lian, did you ask me to come?" I walked under the tree and sat down beside him.

"It's really nothing." He paused, "I'm planning to leave Qunu City."

"What!" I jumped up and said almost without thinking, "No, no!"

He seemed surprised by my reaction. How can I not be in a hurry, if he walks away like this, what will happen to my mission?

"Mu Lian, do you plan to live like this for the rest of your life and don't plan to start a family?"

"Start a family?" He obviously didn't understand my question.

"Yeah, if you met a nice girl, would you take her away?"

He smiled softly, "Yin, what's the matter with you? Didn't I say that what I'm doing now is just to alleviate the sins of my parents."

"But getting married doesn't affect your reciting sutras and Buddha, nor does it affect your helping your parents." I reluctantly found some weak reasons.

"I don't have any plans at all."

His long flaxen hair gleamed with fine pieces of luster under the sunlight.

"Mu Lian, before you and Po Xumi..."

"If you want to know that much, just ask her." He added lightly, "Here."

"Here?" I was taken aback for a moment, only to hear the sound of clinking anklets and bracelets, and Poxumi came out slowly from behind the tree.

She looked at Mu Lian with a complicated expression, and said, "Are you really going to leave?"

Mu Lian nodded.

Po Xumi suddenly laughed and said: "Then before you leave, please listen to me tell a story."

Without waiting for Mu Lian to open her mouth, she said in a low voice: "In Qunv City fourteen years ago, a little girl was sold to a brothel by traffickers, and followed a very famous Ghani Card. The little girl often hides and cries secretly. She doesn’t want to be Ganika at all. She just misses her mother very much. Until one day, when she was crying, someone hugged her gently and asked her to temporarily imagine This is her mother's arms."

When Po Xumi said this, Mu Lian's eyelashes trembled inadvertently.

"For him, maybe this is just a momentary sympathy, but for the girl, this hug, this person, will never be forgotten. He is the most honored guest of Ganika, so the little girl knows that if If you want to be embraced by him again, the only way is to become Ganika yourself."

Mu Lian's hand rubbing the rosary paused for a moment, as if waiting for her next words.

"The little girl studied the sixty-four skills day and night, and learned all the skills that would allow her to become Ganika as soon as possible. Finally, after four years, she got the opportunity to try out with this distinguished guest. Four years later Missing and waiting turned into tears of happiness in the hug that night. He promised to take her away. She thought that she would always be able to get his hug from now on, but he suddenly disappeared from this world like sand and dust. ...It turns out that a gentle person like him...can also be deceiving..." A trace of sadness flashed across Po Xumi's face, "Until—ten years later, she saw him again, and it turned out that he had been It’s all in this city, so everything has changed.”

When the story comes to this point, I already fully understand that the story is about Poxumi herself, and the guest is, without a doubt, Mulian. No wonder Poxumi never gave her sincerity to anyone anymore. It turned out that it was because of Mu Lian, and the person who tied the bell was needed to untie the bell.

"I thought you wouldn't care about that sentence." Mu Lian said softly, and there was an unnoticed movement between her brows.

"Ganika is heartless, you think so too, so you casually said to take her away," I looked at him and said, "So, when you make a decision, you don't even have to explain it." Too lazy to speak."

Mu Lian didn't say anything more. After a long time, he said, "Everything is over."

Po Xumi stared at him with a sad face, and said: "Yes, everything is over."

"Poxumi, I like your poem very much." I said suddenly.

"What?" She was taken aback.

"It's the poem with the portrait of Mulian."

Her face turned red.

I smiled and read softly: "The furthest distance in the world is not the distance between life and death, but when I stand in front of you, you don't know that I love you."

After I finished reading, I glanced at Mulian, his expression was still calm, but his eyelashes trembled heavily a few times. Po Xumi bit her lower lip tightly and said nothing.

"Please go back, I said everything is a thing of the past." Mu Lian said lightly.

"Everything is a thing of the past, just because you said the words to take her away, making her think that all men in the world are liars, and do you know how many men have lost their fortunes and even committed suicide for her, just as you said As she said, her karma in this life cannot be fulfilled, and now only you can save her, your parents have already suffered from purgatory, do you want to watch her take this step?"

Mu Lian's body trembled, and the sandalwood rosary in her hand slipped down.

Po Xumi looked at me in shock.

I don't know how long it took, the three of us were silent, and the surroundings were so quiet that we could hear the sound of Sala flowers falling on the ground.

"Let's get rid of Janica's identity." Mu Lian's expression has returned to its original indifference.

A look of surprise flashed across Po Xumi's face, "You mean..."

"I'll take you away." What he said next surprised both Posumi and me.

"Mulian, are you serious?" I asked in disbelief.

He smiled slightly and said, "However, following me to recite scriptures and Buddha every day will inevitably be boring, so you should think about it when you go back."

Poxumi was stunned for a moment, her eyes overflowing with unprecedented joy, she said without thinking: "Don't think about it, today, I don't think I need the identity of Janika anymore, Mr. Nemo, I am willing to follow you to practice Buddhism with great concentration, and to atone for all the sins I have done before."

Mu Lian smiled softly: "Nemo is no longer in this world, now there is only Mu Lian. And from the moment you made the decision just now, Posumi has also disappeared from this world. From now on, you will be called Lianhua."

"Lianhua..." Poxumi repeated in a murmur.

"Since you are leaving, why don't you leave as soon as possible." I was a little relieved, as long as Mulian is willing to take her away, I can say anything.

"Alright, you go back and prepare, we'll leave tonight." Mu Lian nodded.

I picked up his slipped rosary and placed it in his palm.

"Hidden..." He seemed to have something to say, but he still didn't say it.
