54、Sincere words soothe old wounds

  ?

  The staff at the public cemetery saw Xiaobai, covered in blood, carrying a woman down the mountain. They didn't know what had happened and didn't dare to intercept them, so they just let the three of them leave by car. On the way, Huang Jing's face turned pale and her lips trembled as she asked: "Who were those people? Why did that happen?"

  Feng Junzi: "Those who look for trouble, if you don't know them, it might have something to do with Xin Weiping. If they can't find dead people to bother, they'll find living people to bother... Xiaobai, be careful, I heard your classmate's parents are still in the hospital, and even if they're in a grave, they can still be found in a hospital."

  Huang Jing: "Were they enemies of Wei Ping when he was alive? I haven't heard that Wei Ping had any enemies. Xiao Bai, will Wei Ping's parents have trouble at the hospital?"

  "Don't worry, I'll take care of it."

  Huang Jing: "Xiao Bai, your skills are so good? I really didn't know before!" Only then did she react to the fact that Bai Shaofeng's performance in the cemetery just now was far beyond ordinary people.

  Bai Shaoliu: "In the past few years, I've learned a few tricks, nothing special, just being more agile... Let me send you home first, I also need to go back and change my clothes, this body is all covered in blood."

  Huang Jing had originally planned to invite Feng Junzi and Xiao Bai for lunch, but after this unexpected event, they didn't have the appetite to eat. After sending Huang Jing home, he sent Feng Junzi back as well. In the car, Feng Junzi suddenly burst out laughing: "Xiao Bai, you're a real-life hero who saved the beauty today! Shaoye's kung fu wasn't taught in vain!"

  "Mr. Feng, don't you think today's events are strange?"

  Feng Junzi: "What's so strange about it? It's obvious that those people had planned to be heroes and rescue the beauty, but you ended up stealing the show."

  "Why did they have to do this?"

  Feng Junzi: "You're flirting, aren't you? Your classmate looks pretty good, and it's normal to use some tactics when chasing a girl. I'm asking you, do you also have the intention of pursuing someone?"

  Bai Shaoliu: "I didn't mean it that way, I'm just helping out as a friend."

  Feng Junzi laughed mischievously: "You almost carried me down the mountain, did you have any thoughts in your mind while carrying me?"

  Bai Shaofeng: "I heard a story about an old monk and a young monk crossing the river. They met a beautiful woman who also wanted to cross, so the old monk carried her across. After she left, the young monk asked, 'Master, aren't we monks supposed to avoid women?' The old monk replied, 'I've already put her down, why are you still carrying her?'... Mr. Feng, haven't you heard this story before?"

  "Feng Junzi was so angry that he couldn't help but scowl: 'Haven't we gotten things backwards? Shouldn't it be me telling this kind of story to enlighten you, instead of you turning around and telling this story to tease me? You're pretending to be an old monk in front of me... you little brat is just being stubborn!'"

  Bai Shaoliu: "Mr. Feng, I'd like to ask you something serious. That big man who came later was a master, how did he end up getting hurt so badly for no reason?"

  Feng Junzi glared: "No grudges, no feud, we didn't know each other before. He jumped so high and came at me with a punch that could kill! By Jianghu rules, I'd be justified in killing him!"

  Bai Shaoliu: "I'm not asking you why you hurt people, I want to ask how did you manage to do it?"

  Feng Junzi: "How did I do it? Obviously you're the one who hurt someone."

  "Me?"

  Feng Junzi: "Isn't it you? So many pairs of eyes are staring!"

  Bai Shaoliu: "You say it's me, then it's me. If you don't want to tell me, just don't ask. And another thing, how do I use this law spiral?"

  Feng Junzi: "Take it back and use it as a trumpet, I don't understand musical instruments either. You can figure it out slowly or ask someone else for help. Following you to see the Feng Shui, so much trouble, my feet were even bruised by stones. Next time you have to invite me to sing."

  Bai Shaoliu: "Of course, Mr. Feng, no problem at all. What time and place would you like?"

  Feng Junzi: "What other place to choose from, of course we'll go for a stroll in the clouds. Now everyone knows about the relationship between the Black Dragon Society and you, Bai Zong. Liu Peifeng has also told me."

  Hong and Quan were very angry, in a bad mood. His four subordinates were taken away by the police for disturbing social order and damaging others' property, and it was not easy to get them out, and they also paid a lot of money to Yuanshan Public Cemetery. Thinking about it made him feel depressed! Such a small matter was messed up, and fortunately, the situation did not escalate further. These few people were really useless. However, when he saw Shi He Kai, he took a deep breath.

  The stone and the opening surface did not suffer any external injuries, and the two dislocated arms were reattached without much trouble. However, Hong and Quan knew that this person was already crippled, his martial arts skills and Taoist cultivation had been completely destroyed! Shihe Kai's ability was something he was aware of, among all the subordinates in the Bai Shangdi Brotherhood, his strength was definitely ranked in the top three. Who could have crippled him so easily? Moreover, Shihe Kai himself couldn't even explain what had happened, because he was lying on the ground and hadn't seen clearly the kick that Feng Junzi had delivered. If Wuyou had such a powerful expert, it was really too frightening, at least he himself was far inferior.

  He was furious with Shi and Kai, originally letting him go to rescue the beauty, since Huang Jing let someone else save her, don't show up and wait for next time. This foolish boy actually ran out to fight with others. What's even more infuriating is that his precious treasure, the Nine-Holed Resounding Heaven Spiral, was lent to Shi and Kai for temporary use, but he lost it, definitely taken by the opponent. Even if this trash was thrown out to feed dogs, he must get the Nine-Holed Resounding Heaven Spiral back, that kind of thing can't be bought once it's lost.

  He really wanted to throw Shi and Kai out to feed the dogs, this person not only messed up things but also became a useless waste. But Hong Quan couldn't do that, because Shi and Kai were old comrades who had followed him since the founding of the organization, and from the perspective of buying people's hearts, they still needed to be comforted now, so as not to let others see it and lose heart. Arranging for the injured Shi and Kai was just a show, so that in the future more people would be willing to risk their lives. He could only suppress his anger and scold Zhang Taiyu and others a few words, then arranged for Shi and Kai to recover from their injuries, and allocated a sum of money from the organization to support them in the future, after doing these things he didn't need to pay attention to Shi and Kai again.

  Hong and Quan sent people to investigate the high-handed person beside Huang Jing, and the result came out quickly. The man was called Bai Shaoliu, a worshiper of the Black Dragon Gang and also the personal bodyguard of Luo Xue, the only daughter of Luo Shuihan. Street rumors said that this person was the number one master of Wuyou! It's not unexpected that he appeared beside Huang Jing, as Bai Shaoliu and Huang Jing were originally classmates in university. It seems that this matter is likely to be a misunderstanding, and they sent people to do heroic deeds but encountered a hard nail.

  It's related to Luo Shuihan, so Hong and Quan didn't dare to easily find trouble with Bai Shaoliu. He decided not to provoke Huang Jing for the time being and let his subordinates think of a way to get close from Xin's parents' side. As for the Jiukong Resonance Shell, it must be pursued, Luo Shuihan has something to ask himself, so when the time comes, he can propose a condition to make it easier for Luo Shuihan to help him retrieve it.

  After the incident in the cemetery, Xiaobai was still worried about Huang Jing for a while. The cemetery was destroyed and several people were injured, which would cause trouble. He specifically told Luo Bing about this, but Luo Bing told him that the other party had already settled everything and Xiaobai didn't need to worry about it anymore. Luo Bing even joked that those people were actually helping out, he originally wanted to arrange a heroic rescue, but it seemed that wasn't necessary anymore. This time, Xiaobai really was a hero who saved the beauty, anyone who saw it would know that it couldn't be an act.

  Xiao Bai was not the first time being a hero in front of a beauty, and Xiao Bai, who had become a hero, still had to go through the pain of "life and death observation" every night. This day was already the seventh day, before entering the meditation, he quietly adjusted for a long time, letting his body and mind enter a state of utmost relaxation and calmness. Before entering the observation state, he thought back to that car accident again, but inexplicably remembered that mountain full of graves, and the messy grave dug by that big man.

  He recalled the words spoken by Feng Junzi when he was selecting a burial site for Xin Weiping, and felt an inexplicable emotion. He knew that Xin Weiping had not yet passed away, but his "life before and after death" was indeed just like that. After thinking about it for half a day, he finally calmed down and began to meditate. On this day, Xiao Bai finally accomplished one thing - the scene of his meditation did not disperse, but instead truly relived the car accident, yet he could calmly face everything from start to finish. He completed a full set of mental exercises, and when he opened his eyes, he felt refreshed.

  He had just opened his eyes at the head of the bed, let out a mouthful of air, and heard a mournful cry coming from Zhuo Ru's room next door. Xiao Bai was startled and rushed into the next room with bare feet, turned on the light and saw that Zhuo Ru had already sat up. Her forehead was covered in cold sweat, her eyes were filled with fear, and there were seven wounds on half of her face, which were left by Xiao Bai's last treatment. Now, due to the shock, two of the wounds had cracked open and fresh blood flowed out.

  Xiaobai rushed to the bedside and asked: "Zhuang sister, what's wrong with you?"

  Zhuang Ru was panting heavily, her chest heaving up and down as she struggled to speak. Xiao Bai sensed her emotions and immediately guessed what had happened - Zhuang Ru had a nightmare, and it was a terrifying one - the car accident she had just experienced in her meditation! At this moment, Zhuang Ru's psychological reaction was almost identical to when she woke up from her meditation seven days ago. Xiao Bai deeply understood that kind of terror and didn't rush to ask Zhuang Ru anything. Instead, he stood beside the bed, reached out to gently hold her head against his chest, and softly patted her shoulder, saying: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's all over, nothing happened, just a nightmare."

  Zhuang Ru still didn't speak, her body shook slightly, she turned around and hugged Xiao Bai with one hand, her face tightly pressed against his chest, silently sobbing. There was no tissue nearby, so Xiao Bai could only use the sleeve of his pajamas to gently wipe away her tears, while speaking in a soothing tone like he would to a child: "Don't cry, don't cry, I'm here, you don't have to be afraid of anything."

  "What a terrible dream, I dreamed of that car accident again." Zhuo Ru finally stopped crying and spoke.

  "The car accident is over and you're still fine now. The wound on your face will heal soon, there's nothing to be sad about."

  "But this time the dream was strange, you know? I dreamed that I was sitting in the back row, just like where you're sitting now, and there was another me in front of me...I saw the car flip over with my own eyes, I was thrown out of the window, then the car came crashing down on me, and then I woke up."

  Xiao Bai's heart skipped a beat, this wasn't Zhuo Ru's memory! But rather his own experience in the mortal world! If it was Zhuo Ru herself recalling this experience and having such a nightmare, she should be sitting in the front passenger seat, not in Bai Shaofeng's seat seeing another Zhuo Ru in front of her! Being flung out of the car window and seeing the rolling car coming towards her, this could only be Bai Shaofeng's experience, no one else could even imagine it. Was it because of his own cultivation that caused the Zhuo Ru next door to have such a nightmare? But he had been cultivating for more than one night already, why didn't something like this happen in the past few days?

  His mind was filled with doubts, but he couldn't discuss it with Zhuang Ru. He still advised, "If you think too much, you'll have nightmares. If something strange happens in your dreams, don't pursue it. The more you think about it, the more scared you'll be. Just forget about it... Sister Zhuang, the two wounds on your face are cracked again, and we'll have to do it all over again next time. Come, let me take a look at your wound."

  Zhuang Ru heard that there were two wounds on her face, and she finally came to herself. She raised her face to let Xiao Bai treat it, and asked: "Is everything okay? Will they not heal?"

  Bai Shaoliu: "It's nothing, but you're probably going to have to suffer again. After these two wounds heal, come back for another cut."

  Zhuang Ru: "I'm really sorry, I also had a nightmare and woke you up!"

  "Stay still, I'll go get some gauze to stop the bleeding for you. Meanwhile, I'll also pour you a cup of red wine. Drink up and have a good sleep."

  It wasn't easy to calm Zhuang Ru down, letting her finish her wine and lie down, covering her with a quilt. Xiao Bai was about to turn off the lights when Zhuang Ru stretched out a hand from under the covers and grabbed his wrist, not saying a word, staring at him with pleading eyes. Xiao Bai understood her gaze, she was still a bit scared, hoping he would stay but not knowing how to say it. Xiao Bai gently held her hand: "Zhuang sister, are you still afraid? Do you want me to keep you company for a while?"

  Zhuang Ru still didn't speak, and nodded like a little kid. Xiao Bai adjusted the desk lamp to its dimmest setting, smiled and said to Zhuang Ru: "Sister Zhuang, go to sleep, I'll sit beside you until you fall asleep."

  Zhuang Ru's face was a bit red, and her eyes seemed to be saying: "Actually, you don't need to sit!" But she didn't say it out loud. Xiao Bai sat in front of the bed watching Zhuang Ru fall asleep, her half-face looking more alluring and charming in her sleep, while the other half of her face was covered with band-aids, like a terrifying broken doll. Zhuang Ru closed her eyes and remained still, but actually took a long time to fall asleep, her breathing uneven, her heart pounding. At first, she was still trapped in the terrifying memories, but later, even though her eyes were closed, her attention was all on Xiao Bai beside the bed. How to say it, there was a kind of expectation, and also a kind of hidden impulse.

  The woman also had **, expecting love, Zhuo Ru's heart rose with this emotion, Xiao Bai felt it clearly. He sat on the edge of the bed, his body reacted a little, his lower abdomen was hot and his lower body was excited and wanted to move, but he still didn't move, sitting quietly. These two people were very interesting, they had that reaction from psychology to physiology, but neither of them made a move. In front of Xiao Bai, Zhuo Ru couldn't pretend to sleep, whether someone was really asleep or not, Xiao Bai could tell very clearly. Finally, after waiting for Zhuo Ru to fall asleep, Xiao Bai turned off the light and quietly returned to his own room.

  This night finally passed, Xiao Bai almost didn't sleep, but he discovered a very strange thing, that is, since practicing the Heart Sutra of Desire, even if he slept very little, he was still full of energy during the day.

  Bai Shaofeng thought that what happened last night was an accident, but it turned out not to be an accident, because the same thing happened again tonight. Bai Shaofeng had just opened his eyes after collecting his thoughts, and in fact, this state of mind only lasted for a few seconds. He then heard another scream from next door, and vaguely, he also heard a man's voice coming from upstairs. He didn't have time to care about what was happening upstairs, and hurriedly rushed into Zhuang Ru's room again. Zhuang Ru looked almost the same as last night.

  Xiaobai now vaguely understood what had happened, although he was still unclear how it had happened. This time he proactively came to the bedside, one knee kneeling on the bed and stretching out his hand to hold Zhu Ru's upper body in his arms, comforting her: "Had another nightmare? Don't be afraid, I'm here!"

  Zhuang Ru didn't cry this time, her whole body was trembling, tightly grasping Xiao Bai's arm, with great force that even her fingernails turned white. Her situation was different from Xiao Bai's, not to mention the psychological quality that couldn't be compared to Xiao Bai's, the most important thing was that she didn't understand what was going on? Having the same nightmare for two consecutive nights, she was more afraid today than yesterday. Xiao Bai naturally understood very clearly, he felt Zhuang Ru's trembling body like a withered leaf in autumn wind, and involuntarily hugged her tightly, trying to calm her down, gradually calming his own emotions as well.

  "It's been a long time since I had a nightmare after you came. What's going on these days? Two consecutive nights of having the same nightmare?" Zhuo Ru murmured in Xiao Bai's arms.

  His hand slipped through her thick black hair, and he said softly, "Since it's a dream, there's no need to worry. Things that have passed will always leave shadows in the heart. It's best if you can forget, and if you really can't, learn to face them. After all, things have been experienced, what's the big deal about dreams?"

  Zhuang Ru: "But I'm still scared... Luckily you're by my side, otherwise I would have really died again just now." This conversation between the two of them was a bit role-reversed, sounding like an older brother comforting his little sister. After cultivating the "View of Life and Death", Bai Shaofeng's tone had matured unknowingly.
