I turned and looked at her: "Why aren't you angry?"
Ning Xue smiled and said, "Why should I be angry? Just like when you suddenly proposed to me that day, I agreed without any hesitation."
"Why……"
"Because you are Xu Fei, the man I trust most in my life."
"Aren't you afraid that I will let you down?"
"That's better than you being sad, isn't it?" she said with a sad smile.
I was stunned.
Ning Xue, why are you so good to me... so good that I can't bear to let you down!
"Thank you, Ning Xue, thank you for understanding me. I will do Xiaomo's thing, even if it means dying! But before that, I want to complete the wedding with you first. I think this is what Xiaomo wants, too."
No one is perfect, and I can't have it all, but I can do both things to the best of my ability. I walked over, took Ning Xue's soft wrist, and led her, happily walking towards the red carpet outside the auditorium among the crowd of people who came to bless us.
…
A week after the wedding.
At Grandma Sun's invitation, I took Ning Xue, Xuan Xuan, and the others to the Ghost Alliance for a ceremony to see the leader take over. The legendary Ghost Alliance is surprisingly located on a cliff over a thousand feet high. It's so hidden that if someone hadn't pointed the way, you wouldn't have even known it existed!
And with the recommendation of Taoist Wuxu, Taoist Wushan, Taoist Wuzhen, the Madman in Black, Gui Sanniang, and Granny Sun, I naturally became the new generation leader of the Ghost Alliance.
In fact, even I could not imagine that this place I had once dreamed of visiting would suddenly become mine. Moreover, I became a big shot who could mobilize the entire Ghost Alliance. I really could not imagine it.
With Granny Sun's help, I completed the strange rituals required of a new leader and barely made it through. Then, I handed over some trivial matters to the black-clad madman and his group to help handle, and I left the Ghost Alliance with Ning Xue, Xuanxuan, Granny Sun, and the others.
Ning Changfeng gifted us a large manor villa, located in the suburbs of Jiangzhou. The land here is very expensive, but Ning Changfeng is not interested in it. Xuanxuan, Yu Jie and his friends often come here as guests, and when they come, they have to play for several days, which is quite enjoyable.
One day, I told Ning Xue that I was going to prepare for Su Xiaoniu's wedding. Ning Xue agreed without a problem and prepared some vegetarian food for me to take with me, as well as Jiaxing rice dumplings and milk. I was touched by this, as Jiaxing rice dumplings and milk are Su Xiaoniu's favorite foods.
I packed my things, took Xuanxuan with me, and left for Wutong District, Jiangzhou City, returning to Su Xiaoniu's hometown. First, I went to Su Xiaoniu's bedroom and sorted out the clothes she had worn before her death. It was very clean and tidy. After all, there were two door gods who had been cleaning. When they saw me come in, they didn't say a word, as if they knew what I was going to do.
I piled together the clothes Su Xiaoniu had worn in her lifetime, then pulled the statue from my backpack and placed it with the clothes. The statue incorporates some of Su Xiaoniu's ashes; it's essential. Then, using a pickaxe, I dug a small grave in the backyard and buried the clothes, the statue, and the statue. A stele was erected above it, inscribed with "Su Xiaomo's Tomb."
I placed two rice dumplings and a bottle of milk in front of the grave.
I bit my finger and wrote the word "Mo" on the palm of my right hand with blood. Then I took out the "The Sutra of the Past Vows of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva" from my bag, which was given to me by Marshal Wen at that time.
Seeing me doing this, Xuanxuan followed my example and wrote the word "沫" on the palm of her hand. Then she read the "The Sutra of the Past Vows of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva" with me and memorized all the verses in it.
It took us three days to memorize the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Sutra thoroughly, integrating its meaning into our minds and committing it to memory. With this, we officially began the great project of clearing Su Xiaoniu's karma.
…
Three years later.
One or two green weeds have already grown in front of Su Xiaoniu's grave.
I have been reciting the Sutra of the Past Vows of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva for three years, eating vegetarian food for three years, not killing any living beings, and not doing any bad deeds. I have only recited the Holy Name of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva countless times in front of her grave, just to seek blessings for her who is far away in the underworld.
Compared to Xuanxuan, she also ate vegetarian food for a period of time at the beginning, but later her body could not take it. She was in the developmental stage and could not get enough nutrition. In the end, she had to go home and eat a lot for a while. I could only laugh it off.
Ning Xue would come to see me every day and bring me food, all vegetarian, of course. Occasionally, I'd go home to visit Ning Xue and discover she'd also set up a memorial tablet for Su Xiaoniu at home, with the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Sutra on it. I felt a sense of emotion; I hadn't expected that during my absence, she'd been praying for Su Xiaoniu.
The word "沫" on the palm of my hand is sparkling.
Is that you? Xiaomo...
Eight years.
Su Xiaoniu's grave is already covered with a lot of weeds. After reciting the "The Sutra of the Past Vows of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva" for eight years, I can no longer bear to harm these flowers and plants. I can only watch them grow more and more vigorously, and grow more and more wantonly on Su Xiaoniu's grave.
I wanted to pull them out completely, but the thought was fleeting. Later, when I got home, it seemed that Xuanxuan had cleaned them up. She is really my good sister!
New Year's Eve was almost here, and early in the morning, I took Xuanxuan, who had transformed from a young girl into a queen, home to reunite with Ning Xue. But just as we reached the gate of the manor, Xuanxuan playfully ran up and yelled at Grandma Sun, who was about to close the door, "Robbery!"
"Ah! You...Xuanxuan, you are going to scare me, an old woman, to death." Grandma Sun was really frightened. When she saw it was Xuanxuan, she patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
