Chapter 187 Repentance
After Bai Jingfeng and Duke Rong finished talking, Wen Ling looked at the sky and said at the right time: "It's getting dark. It will take some time for you to perform the salvation for the entire Duke Rong's Mansion. If you don't start now, you will have to wait until tomorrow."
Duke Rong wiped his tears, waved to Bai Jingfeng and said, "Okay, let's go, hurry up, we have already troubled Princess Chen a lot, don't delay her for another day,
Remember my words, reform yourself well down there, I'll wait for the day you come back. ”
The last paragraph is a farewell and also an expectation for reunion.
Bai Jingfeng knelt down and kowtowed three times to Duke Rong, then turned to Wen Ling and said, "Princess Chen, thank you for your hard work. Let's get started."
Wen Ling nodded.
Now that her magic power has been restored, she no longer needs to set up an altar for this level of salvation.
She bit her fingertips and used her blood to draw an intricate and complicated formation in the air.
The formation was originally golden in color. When Wen Ling took down the Bagua mirror and placed it in the round frame in the middle of the altar, the entire formation suddenly burst into a strong golden light.
Wen Ling said to Bai Jingfeng, "First, let the souls in the Rongguo Mansion that you control enter the magic circle to be liberated, and then you can go in yourself last."
Bai Jingfeng took action immediately, and the undead in the yard lined up in neat rows and walked inside one by one.
When those undead spirits, like puppets, walked into the magic circle and were enveloped by the light of the formation, they gradually regained their consciousness.
They looked confused at first, not knowing what was going on.
They were all servants of the Duke of Rong's Mansion when they were alive. They were not killed directly by Bai Jingfeng. Instead, they were just like Butler Zhao. They repeated the same things every day when they were alive. They died naturally when their lifespan came to an end, but their souls were still being controlled.
Now that they have regained their self-awareness, they looked confused at first, then after they reacted, they were all shocked.
Duke Rong bowed and apologized to every soul that was liberated, saying that it was his family's affairs that had implicated them.
He said that every year during festivals in the future, he would burn lots of gold and silver for them so that they could live carefree lives in the underworld and have enough money to be reborn into a good family.
The dead were all relieved.
As for why Duke Rong lived a long life, it was because he came from a family of good deeds. Almost all of his servants, except for the servants born in the family, were like Butler Zhao. They encountered difficulties outside and could not survive, so they were taken in by the Duke Rong's Mansion to serve as servants.
No one in the Rongguo Mansion treats their servants harshly. The servants' lives are even better than those of many wealthy families outside.
Therefore, they were originally grateful to Duke Rong, and would be willing to sacrifice their lives to protect Duke Rong in times of crisis.
When the undead left one by one, it was finally the turn of Butler Zhao.
As soon as Butler Zhao walked into the magic circle and regained consciousness, Zhao Lingji, who had been watching the situation nearby, stumbled out.
He fell to his knees and shouted, "Grandpa! Grandpa, it's me, I'm Lingji!"
Butler Zhao slowly regained his consciousness and immediately heard Zhao Lingji's loud call to him.
When he saw the young boy Zhao Lingji, he burst into tears: "Lingji, my dear grandson has grown so big!"
Zhao Lingji knelt on the ground, crying, but his eyes were full of joy: "Grandpa, I didn't let you down. I grew up well on my own. Not only did I grow up, I also found people from outside who could help us at the Duke of Rong's Mansion.
Grandpa, everyone in the Rongguo Mansion is free now. They don’t have to live the same life every day! ”
Butler Zhao's face was full of pride, and he said three times in a row: "Good, good, good! I know that my grandson is born different from others and is the most powerful!"
Butler Zhao’s figure became increasingly fainter, and he was about to complete his salvation and go to another world.
He finally said: "Seeing my grandson is so capable, I feel relieved. Lingji, remember to take good care of yourself in your future life!"
Zhao Lingji nodded with tears in his eyes. Before his grandfather's figure completely disappeared, he kowtowed to his grandfather three times to thank him for raising him.
Behind him were Zhao Lingji's parents. When they saw Zhao Lingji grow up, they were relieved and shed tears.
Zhao Lingji kowtowed to everyone and said goodbye.
When Bai Jingyu entered the magic circle and regained consciousness, he saw Bai Jingfeng and the old and frail Duke Rong. He was stunned at first, and then he was more afraid.
He was so scared that he babbled incoherently: "I didn't mean to do that, I didn't mean to do that, no, you were the ones who wronged me first, you are the ones who made me like this! I just wanted to teach my eldest brother a lesson, so that my parents could see me, I didn't expect it to be like this, I..."
As he spoke, he began to cover his face and cry bitterly.
Bai Jingfeng originally hated Bai Jingyu very much, but when he killed Bai Jingyu with his own hands, he did not feel the pleasure of revenge. Instead, he felt as if a huge rock was pressing on his heart, making him feel even more uncomfortable.
Faced with the fact that Bai Jingyu still refused to repent, Bai Jingfeng just turned his head slightly to the other side. He didn't want to say anything.
Duke Rong looked at his youngest son with a look of pain in his eyes. "I originally thought that you were just naughty since childhood. I didn't have the energy to discipline you, so I often told your brother to take care of you more and talk to you more.
I didn't expect that I would raise you to be like this. It's my fault, it's all my fault! ”
Bai Jingyu had never seen a father like this before.
From childhood to adulthood, in his heart, Duke Rong, as a father, has always been high above him, very strong and majestic. Whether at home or in the court outside, as long as his father appears, everyone is respectful.
This sense of distance also applies to his son.
But what about Duke Rong now? He has a head full of white hair, a hunched back, and even has to use crutches in both hands to barely stand.
His eyes were red, tears were flowing, and he choked up and said that it was all his fault, because he had not educated him well...
The giant who seemed to be never defeated in his heart has now become an ordinary old man who is old and helpless.
Bai Jingyu felt bad, especially bad.
He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end his throat seemed to be blocked by a ball of cotton and he couldn't utter a word.
He tried his best until the end, and only shouted: "Dad..."
Then he burst into tears and admitted his fault: "Dad, I was wrong, please punish me, punish me, your unfilial son!"
"Dad, I regret it. After I killed my eldest brother, I regretted it every night. I regretted why I did such a wicked thing!"
"Dad, every time I made trouble when I was a kid, you always helped me make up for it. Can you help me this time too?! I know I was wrong, I really know I was wrong!"
Bai Jingyu also knew that it was impossible to make up for it. He was no longer a child, and his father was no longer the tall and majestic father who seemed omnipotent.
Duke Rong closed his eyes in pain.
