What exactly happened that day?
Shen Mingjie questioned the person whose back was to him.
Chu's mother simply said, "You've met Xiao Jiu, haven't you?"
Speaking of Yan Jiu.
Shen Mingjie's eyes softened, and his words became gentle: "She looks a lot like our mother."
With a look of reminiscence in her eyes, Chu's mother said, "Her abilities are more like those of our great-grandfather."
Shen Mingjie frowned: "You mean she also knows divination? Is this related to what you're about to tell us?"
Regarding Yan Jiu's online activities.
At first, Chu's mother felt incredulous, but she wasn't surprised that Yan Jiu could actually make a prediction.
Because the Shen family ancestors were fortune tellers.
His ancestors also worked in the Imperial Observatory.
Unlike other sorcerers.
The diviner pays the price of his lifespan when casting a divination.
Often, every divination will bring a backlash, and regardless of the magnitude of the backlash, it will only be felt by one's relatives.
Yan Jiu has the blood of the Shen family flowing in her veins.
Therefore, Chu's mother was not surprised that Yan Jiu could make a prophecy, but she found it hard to believe that Yan Jiu could emerge unscathed from the prophecy, and that they, as Yan Jiu's family members, could also remain unharmed.
Witnessing Madam Wu's accident firsthand, Chu's mother became even more convinced of her belief that Yan Jiu was skilled in divination.
If Yan Jiu knew what Chu's mother was thinking, she would definitely explain that it really wasn't a prophecy.
Shen Mingjie fell silent as he spoke: "Is there really a prophecy? The master once blessed my mother with good health and freedom from disaster, but she still... Besides, prophecies come at a price, a price..."
He repeatedly emphasized the cost.
It's as if I want to crush those two words.
He was aware that the Shen family had lost many ancient books up to their great-grandfather's generation.
Before his death, the head of the Shen family predicted that this was the will of Heaven, that the Shen family was destined to fall into ruin, and that those who defied it would surely be punished by Heaven.
Therefore, future generations were not allowed to pursue prophecy.
but.
As a child, Shen Mingjie loved it so much that he could even be described as obsessed.
Shen Mingjie is indeed talented.
He was once as famous as the feng shui master Zhong Heng.
But this is not a blessing for the Shen family.
In the same year that Shen Mingjie became famous, his father passed away due to illness. Shen Mingjie thought it was all his fault, which caused him to suffer from heart disease and fall into a coma for several days. When he woke up, he forgot everything.
The doctor said it was psychological trauma.
It was the body's self-protective mechanism that caused Shen Mingjie to lose that memory.
Until Shen Mingjie met the frail and sickly Yun Ning, in order to find out how much time Yun Ning had left, Shen Mingjie, under the guidance of Master Wunian, once again recalled the magic he had abandoned.
The cost was undoubtedly heavy.
Shen Mingjie covered his head, seemingly overwhelmed by the disturbance.
While feeling sorry for her, Chu's mother cruelly revealed the truth: "You have the right to know the truth. It's my fault for always realizing my mistakes afterward. This applies to you, and it also applies to Sisi."
Shen Mingjie was in unbearable pain.
Fresh blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.
He bit his tongue until it bled, barely managing to pull himself out of the mire of self-reproach.
Shen Mingjie couldn't accept it: "Did I kill Mom and Yun Ning? They didn't die because of your mistake... They didn't die from electrocution, but from the consequences, from the lightning tribulation?"
He is not a stupid person.
If he had investigated carefully, he would have known that the intensity of the electricity was that of lightning. The reason he never considered the consequences was because his cowardice prevented him from thinking about it.
Chu's mother looked at Shen Mingjie with heartache.
She didn't tell Shen Mingjie.
I just don't want the other person to feel so guilty.
Therefore, she would rather Shen Mingjie misunderstand that she was the one who harmed her mother and Yun Ning, and thus hate her.
After Yan Jiu appeared.
She once thought that perhaps heaven had finally opened its eyes and allowed their family to have a child that could be predicted without any cost.
But heaven is not going to be lenient, she thought, there must be a way for Yan Jiu to avoid the consequences.
Chu's mother originally wanted to bury the incident from that day forever, but Aunt Lin's phone call woke her up.
If you must suffer, then suffer clearly and distinctly, rather than suffering in a state of confusion and uncertainty.
Whether she tells Shen Mingjie or not.
Shen Mingjie has had a difficult time these past few years, and has even been living in the past, unwilling to move towards the future.
Chu's mother decided to have Chu Chu bring Shen Mingjie over because she felt that with Yan Jiu there, everything would be alright.
She doesn't know why.
That's the feeling I have.
It was as if Yan Jiu was the pillar of stability.
With Yan Jiu around, nothing is a problem.
Shen Mingjie's eyes were bloodshot, and he could no longer stand: "I killed them, it was me!?"
Mother Chu shook her head: "It's fate. We foresaw this when we learned of your talent in divination... Mingjie, no one wants you to live in the past. Move on."
Shen Mingjie's eyes were bloodshot.
He ruined his parents and Yun Ning, how could he possibly get over this?
He held a grudge against his sister for half his life.
But he remembered the wrong person.
He should hate himself!
When Yan Jiu represented the whole family upstairs.
The story is nearing its end.
Chu's mother grasped at her savior and said, "Xiao Jiu, you have a way, right?"
Yan Jiu does indeed have it.
That's why she went upstairs.
Yan Jiu was clutching a book.
The book cover is written in traditional Chinese characters for the Book of Life and Death.
Before knocking on the door, she contacted the underworld and obtained the Book of Life and Death, which had been eliminated.
The thin book looks like it only has a few dozen pages.
When the pages turn on their own without any wind, they rustle, and the pale gold lettering flows across the surface; the number of pages is so many that it is impossible to count them all.
Yan Jiu found the page about the Shen family and read out the words that ordinary people couldn't understand: "Grandma and Grandpa were reincarnated many years ago, and they will live a peaceful and joyful life in this life."
Shen Mingjie's sobbing stopped abruptly.
Death is not the end?
