Chapter 60: Salvation
Zhong Nian Yao is not stupid, so she can naturally see that Meng Rou is not truly repentant, but is only willing to bow her head temporarily in order to save her own life.
However, this had nothing to do with her. The person she came to save today was not Meng Rou, but the baby ghost.
That baby ghost was truly pitiful. It had finally had a chance to be reborn as a human, but because of Meng Rou's actions, its hopes were dashed once again. It had even transformed into a fierce ghost out of resentment.
If the baby ghost really killed Meng Rou and got his hands on her blood, it would be difficult for him to reincarnate as a human again. Moreover, he would be punished after returning to the underworld.
It’s not worth it for Meng Rou.
After hearing Zhong Nianyao's words, a dark light flashed in Meng Rou's eyes. She struggled for a moment, then got off the bed and slowly walked to the side of the baby ghost.
Before she could say anything, she reached out and hugged the baby ghost.
The baby ghost, who had been struggling fiercely, suddenly turned fierce when he saw Meng Rou approaching. However, he had never expected that Meng Rou would actually hold him in her arms. In an instant, he was enveloped by a warm body temperature.
As if realizing that it was its mother's arms, the baby ghost stopped all its movements, and even the ferocious expression on its face softened.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Meng Rou and the baby ghost.
As Meng Rou approached the ghost, her mother instinctively wanted to hold him back. While he looked like a baby, he was a ghost. Furthermore, he had been tormenting Meng Rou before. She felt that if Meng Rou approached him now, she would only get hurt.
However, Meng's father, who was standing by, stopped Meng's mother directly with a sharp look in his eyes, which made Meng's mother dare not make any move at all.
He had already seen today that Meng Rou and the daughter they usually thought of were two different people. All along, Meng Rou had been pretending well in front of them. They couldn't continue to indulge her like this, or else Meng Rou's life would be ruined. Since Meng Rou had caused this matter, she had to solve it herself. This was the only way to save Meng Rou.
Meng Rou held the baby ghost tightly, tears streaming down her face, her voice filled with guilt and pity. "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to do that. It's not that I don't love you. It's just that I was too young. When I encountered something like this, I had no idea how to deal with it, so I gave up on you."
"I didn't know. I didn't know you had suffered so much. If I had known, I would have given birth to you and raised you well. I'm sorry, I'm really sorry."
The ghost baby, besides being resentful of not being able to reincarnate, also harbored hatred for his mother's rejection of him. Now, hearing his mother's apology, the resentment within him began to slowly dissipate. His once pitch-black body gradually faded, transforming into the appearance of a normal one-year-old baby.
The golden light that was originally bound to the baby ghost disappeared without a trace when the baby ghost returned to its normal baby appearance.
As if she hadn't noticed anything, Meng Rou was still hugging the baby ghost. "Baby, I'm sorry, I really love you. I let you down this time. In the future, can you be reborn as my son again? I promise, I will never abandon you again. I will love you well and let you have the happiest family."
As she spoke, Meng Rou's tears continued to flow.
The baby ghost was also quietly held in his arms, and there was even a hint of a happy smile on his face.
Because of the changes in the baby ghost, the cold atmosphere in the room gradually disappeared.
Seeing such a touching scene, everyone in the room couldn't help but have tears in their eyes.
Only Zhong Nianyao was still sitting there quietly, without any extra movements or words. No one knew what she was thinking at the moment.
After a long while, Meng Rou slowly let go of the baby ghost and wiped away her tears. "Baby, this time it's all my fault. But I hope you won't use my mistakes to punish yourself. Leave! If you continue to linger in this world, it will do you no good."
"You can take revenge on me in any way you want, even taking my life. But I still hope you leave, go to your own place, and wait for reincarnation. In the future, if there's a chance, I still hope you can become my son again. So that I can have the chance to make it up to you."
The baby ghost no longer looked like a fierce ghost. He looked at Meng Rou, blinked, and then said, "Mom, I love you."
The babyish voice makes people feel pity when they hear it.
Meng Rou was stunned for a moment, a strange feeling flashing through her heart, but she quickly came to her senses and tried to put on a smile towards the baby ghost, "Baby, I love you too."
It's such a heartwarming scene that people don't want to destroy it.
At this moment, Zhong Nianyao stood up, walked forward, and spoke, "Baby Ghost, do you still want to continue to retaliate against Meng Rou?"
"I will leave," the baby voice sounded again, "Now I know that my mother loves me, and I will not linger in the world any longer."
After saying that, he looked at Meng Rou again, his eyes full of admiration, "Mom, I'm leaving."
"Yeah." Meng Rou nodded, and then tears kept flowing. She covered her mouth, as if trying to control her out-of-control emotions.
Zhong Nian Yao waved her hand and began to recite scriptures for salvation.
"Thus have I heard. At one time the Buddha was in the Trayastrimsa Heaven, preaching the Dharma to his mother. At that time, all the Buddhas and great Bodhisattvas from the innumerable worlds in the ten directions, countless in number, gathered together to praise Shakyamuni Buddha for his ability to manifest inconceivable great wisdom and supernatural powers in the five turbidities and evil times, to tame stubborn beings and teach them the principles of suffering and happiness. Each sent his attendants to pay their respects to the World Honored One..."
As the prayer for salvation began to sound, a golden light began to surround the infant ghost. Within the golden light, the infant ghost's expression became increasingly better, and its body began to transform into tiny starlight until it disappeared.
Everyone stood there quietly, watching the scene happening before their eyes, unable to recover for a long time.
It was not until Meng Rou fell to the ground that everyone came to their senses.
Then Meng Kairui immediately stepped forward, picked up Meng Rou and put her back on the bed.
