go home
When Liu Muze heard Bai Wuchang dare to mention copying Buddhist scriptures a hundred million times, regardless of the Bodhisattva's presence, he said to him, "If you have the guts, go complain to the King of Hell! You missed this sinner, and I'll see whether I'll have to copy Buddhist scriptures or dock your salary!"
"Buddha!!! He is so arrogant because he relies on you to be here. Please don't protect him. Take care of this unorganized and undisciplined local tyrant!" Bai Wuchang shouted.
Liu Muze didn't dare to say anything more. After all, Wu Chang was from his underworld, and he was quite talkative and popular in the underworld. If this got out of hand, he might really be arrested and taught a lesson. He thought to himself that next time when the Bodhisattva was not around, he would deal with Bai Wu Chang, who deserved a beating even more than Ye Jing An.
"Kongshi, haven't you let it go yet?" said Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.
"I've let it go." Liu Muzhe replied.
The Bodhisattva smiled but said nothing.
"Wait, wait, wait! What are you talking about? Isn't this my dream? What you said is not in my memory, it's impossible to piece it together like this." Ye Jing'an asked in a daze.
"One with a wise mind, your time has not yet come, so go back," said the Bodhisattva.
"Please save this child." Liu Muzhe took out the talisman containing Wu Yao's remaining soul.
An ancient and long bell sounded, the rolled-up talisman was opened, and a tiny soul flew away into the distance.
Liu Muze clasped his hands together again in the air, secretly breathing a sigh of relief. He turned around and looked at Bai Wuchang provocatively: "Bodhisattva, what can you do to me? I'm just a laborer in the underworld, just wait for your wages to be docked."
"Liu Muze, don't fall into my hands!" Bai Wuchang snorted coldly, "Eighth Master, let's go!"
After the Black and White Impermanence left, only Liu Muze and Ye Jing'an were left in the dead silence. Ye Jing'an grabbed Liu Muze's shoulder, looked at the blood on his clothes, and asked, "What happened? Why is there so much blood?"
At first, Ye Jingan thought it was the blood from Liu Muze's murder, but after a closer look, he discovered a tear in his clothes near his chest. Feeling a chill in his heart, Ye Jingan unbuttoned Liu Muze's clothes to see what was going on.
Liu Muzhe didn't say anything, just stared at him quietly.
There was a bloody mark on Liu Muze's chest, the width of a sword blade. The wound wasn't large, but it bled so much. He must have been stabbed deep. The blood on the skin near the wound had formed a black scab. Ye Jing'an frowned and asked, "How did you get such a deep wound?!"
"I cut it with my sword." Liu Muzhe said.
"Do you have a tendency to self-abuse? Do you feel bad about torturing yourself all the time?!" Ye Jing'an asked in a softer tone, "Does it hurt a lot?"
"I'm sorry." Liu Muzhe said.
"What did I ask? Why did you say it hurt?" Ye Jing'an laughed angrily.
"It hurts. It hurts right now." Liu Muzhe said.
Ye Jingan was stunned and smiled helplessly: "I was so angry that I forgot I was dreaming. You will tell me it hurts in my dream. Damn it, I always dream about Brother Liu getting hurt. It really left a psychological trauma on me!"
"I'll tell you when I'm in pain in the future." Liu Muzhe said.
"Brother Liu in my dream is so well-behaved, unlike the one in reality, who seems to be missing a thread in his brain and doesn't do anything. I have to apologize to him and coax him when I go back. I guess he won't want to pay attention to me." Ye Jing'an sighed.
"I'll pay attention to you." Liu Muzhe smiled.
"Well, I know you will pay attention to me. I'm not talking about you. You are Brother Liu who came up with me in my dream. You are very well behaved. The man outside should learn from you." Ye Jing'an said.
Liu Muzhe laughed at Ye Jing'an, who looked so silly and thought he was dreaming. He tapped his forehead with his finger to remind him of the last lost memory.
Ye Jingan looked at himself lying lifeless on the hospital bed, suddenly opened his eyes, and asked blankly: "Am I dead?"
"Well, I'm sorry." Liu Muzhe said.
This information was so unexpected that Ye Jing'an didn't know what was going on in his mind for a moment, nor did he know what to say. He just stood there in a daze. After a long while, he asked again: "So this is the underworld, are you the real Brother Liu?"
Liu Muzhe nodded.
Ye Jing'an stood there in a daze, unable to accept the fact that he was dead. He hadn't earned enough money to give his grandfather and father a better life, hadn't seen his sister get married, hadn't traveled the world with Qiu Zimu, hadn't even had a romantic relationship, hadn't even said goodbye to his family and friends, and he was dead just like that?
What about Brother Liu? If he died, Brother Liu would be alone again, with no one to take care of him if he got hurt...
Ye Jing'an thought of Qiu Zimu. Although he had a brain full of bugs, he was very loyal and righteous, caring and good at cooking. Being with Brother Liu was also good. Although Qiu Zimu didn't like men, he had praised Brother Liu before. Maybe once he left, Brother Liu and Qiu Zimu would get along well and fall in love. That would be great.
Ye Jing'an asked Liu Muze: "Can you let me talk to Qiu Zimu? I have something to tell him."
"Well, let's talk about it when we get back." Liu Muzhe said.
"Where are we going back to? My mother has a home in the underworld, right?" Ye Jing'an asked.
"Go back upstairs." Liu Muzhe said helplessly.
"I'm dead, right? How can I go back up there?" Ye Jing'an asked, "Do you mean I can come back to life?"
"Yeah." Liu Muzhe nodded.
“…” He felt sad for so long in vain.
"Let's go, let's go home." Liu Muzhe turned around and walked back.
Ye Jingan held him back: "Brother Liu, I said too much in the nightclub that day. I'm sorry."
Liu Muzhe felt a pang in his heart, shook his head and continued walking forward.
Ye Jing'an saw a drop of water every two steps on the yellow sand where Liu Muze was walking. It didn't sink into the sand, but hung crystal clear above the sand. Ye Jing'an caught a drop with his fingers. It was warm. He stepped forward to stop Liu Muze.
"Why are you crying?" Ye Jingan wiped his tears, feeling a little overwhelmed. "I was really wrong. There won't be a next time. Don't cry. Can you hit me twice to vent your anger?"
Liu Muze hugged Ye Jingan: "I thought I lost you."
Ye Jingan paused. He didn't expect Brother Liu to hug him on his own initiative. He patted Liu Muzhe on the back and comforted him, "I'm an adult. How could I get lost? Next time I won't run around. I'll tell you where I'm going. No, I'll just follow you and not go anywhere."
Liu Muzhe hugged him tighter.
After a long silence, Ye Jingan said weakly: "Brother Liu, actually you didn't call me that night, you called Ye Chenyi..."
"Well, I know, but the person in the illusion is you." Liu Muzhe said.
"Is it me?" Ye Jing'an was suddenly confused. Before he could figure out what was going on, he heard Liu Muze coughing. He didn't take it seriously. He supported Liu Muze's shoulders and wiped away his tears. "Brother Liu, you're still crying like a child. Stop crying."
Liu Muze laughed dumbly, and mentioned Jun Mujian, "You should know my identity now."
"Well, Grandmaster." Ye Jing'an called out softly, "Long time no see, so you look like this."
"I'm leaving. You have to take good care of your injuries when you go back, okay?" Liu Muzhe said.
"Where are you going?" Ye Jing'an asked in panic.
"Your tribulation has passed, my mission is complete, and I naturally have to leave." Liu Muze smiled, "Do you really want me to stay with you forever?"
"Can we not leave?" Ye Jing'an asked.
"I was really dumbfounded by Bai Wuchang's scolding. What did he ask? We can't stay here for long. Let's go back." Liu Muzhe said.
Before Ye Jing'an could say anything, everything went black. The intense feeling of weightlessness made him panic. He frantically grabbed around until he was in someone's arms. He knew it was Liu Muze, and he clutched at his clothes tightly, not letting go, but his consciousness gradually blurred uncontrollably.
When he woke up again, Ye Jingan found himself lying on the hospital bed, and Brother Liu was not beside him. Ye Jingan sat up in pain and wanted to go out to find Liu Muze.
Qiu Zimumen came back with lunch and saw Ye Jingan woke up. He shouted excitedly: "Oh my God, you finally woke up! Thank God, Brother Liu is really awesome and can even bring the dead back to life!"
"Where is Brother Liu?" Ye Jing'an asked.
"I don't know. We haven't seen him since Brother Liu said he was going to save you the day before yesterday." Qiu Zimu said.
"Okay, I'll go find him." Ye Jing'an climbed out of bed.
"Do you look like you can still go find someone?" Qiu Zimu held his hand.
"Yes, I'm fine. I just haven't walked for a long time and I'm a little lame." Ye Jing'an's feet were a little numb, and he walked out in small steps.
Qiu Zimu stopped him: "Ye Jing'an, can you please stop making trouble? The day you were angry, Liu Muze was in pain all night, right? He had just rested in the afternoon and hadn't eaten much before he rushed out to find you, but ended up coming back furious. Tell me yourself how you pissed him off! Half an hour before you got into trouble, Brother Liu happened to be out dealing with a witchcraft matter. He seemed to know something was going to happen to you, so he called us frantically, anxious as hell."
"Stop talking." Ye Jing'an frowned.
"Alas... he really cares about you. If you like him, please at least control your bad temper." Qiu Zimu said.
The little details of his time with Liu Muze flashed through Ye Jingan's mind one by one: the old things he saw in the orphanage room, what Brother Liu said in the underworld, what happened in the nightclub. His head was swollen and hurt. Only now did he realize that he had been neglecting a lot of things.
"Alright, I'll just say a few words to you. Don't cry like a girl after dying for once. It's all for the sake of death." Qiu Zimu handed him the lunch box in his hand, "I thought you were still asleep, so I only bought my own meal. You eat first, and I'll go buy you another one."
When Qiu Zimu came back from buying food, Ye Jing'an was gone. Qiu Zimu cursed and took out his cell phone to call him. However, Ye Jing'an's message came first, saying that he had returned home to recuperate and asked Qiu Zimu not to worry.
"Well, it's good for him to go home. His dad is taking care of him." Qiu Zimu turned around and planned to eat lunch before leaving, but he found the corpse baby sitting on the bed and grinning at him. "Why did you come out? You're lawless without Ye Jingan and Brother Liu, right?"
The corpse baby nodded and opened its mouth to indicate that it was hungry.
"It's a bargain for you. I just bought two meals. How about you two share it?" Qiu Zimu said.
