Seven Unfortunate Lifetimes Chapter 43 (1/2)

Chapter 43

Zihui led me and Chu Kong into the stone cave. The stone cave hasn’t changed. It’s just that I and Chu Kong are now in an immortal body, we obviously can feel the magic atmosphere.

When we entered the stone cave, the soul of a woman is sitting on a stone bench. Her head was looking at something in her hand. Zihui walked to her and squatted in front of the woman. He chuckled and looked up at her: “A Luo, I’m back.”

A Luo looked up, looked at Zihui for a moment and then smiled: “Zihui, how’s the sound of the birds outside?”

“I find them too noisy. I was afraid that they’ll disturb your rest and drove them away. If you want to hear the birds, I’ll go catch a few for you.”

A Luo shook her head: “Only when the birds are free will they produce the most beautiful sounds.”

Her eyes drifted to me. I was about to greet her when I heard her say laughingly: “Yesterday night, the wind broke the window. Later go and repair it.”

Zihui didn’t care about right and wrong: “Yes.”

I looked at the wall behind me and looked at my hands and feet. I asked Chu Kong: “Did she say I was a broken window? Is she cursing me?”

Chu Kong didn’t say anything. After Zihui put a Luo asleep did he ask: “What’s the matter with her?”

A Luo’s body which was lying on the stone bed flickered. It felt like that when no one is paying attention to her, she’ll disappear.

Zihui looked at her for a long time before he said: “The soul’s power is too weak. Sometimes she doesn’t feel the changed in her surroundings. She can only live in her own fantasy. Just now she must have thoughts about the days she lived with me.”

Chu Kong bluntly walked to the stone table and sat down. He stared at Zihui and said: “I think, you owe me and this thing an explanation. Do you know how much xiaoye has suffered because of Jin Lian’s moths?”

“It’s a long story,” Zihui helplessly smiled. “From ancient times there were rumors that the heart of a stone demon can reverse all things. In extremely rare case a stone can be cultivated into a demon. A stone demon of ten thousand years is even rarer. I, unfortunately, have cultivated into a stone demon and has wandered on earth for ten thousand years.”

His voice turned numb.

“Since you’ve already come here, presumably you must know about a Luo’s ident.i.ty. She is called Jin Luo and is Jin Lian’s sister. The last step of Jin Lian’s practice needs the refined heart of a stone demon. So a Luo came down and encountered me……The day before we were to get married, she let me willingly dig my heart out for her. At that time I didn’t know about the purpose of a Luo getting close to me. I also didn’t know what she wanted to do with my heart. In short, the next day she disappeared. A demon without heart wandered on earth for hundreds of years. The empty chest will ache from time to time. I used to think that dying is also good. But I wasn’t willing. I wanted to know the reason and I also wanted to see her again……Later, I met you.”

Chu Kong’s expression sank. Silly Xiang really left a bad impression on him.

“At that time, I thought I was about to die.”

Zihui smiled faintly.

“Thank Chu Kong’s heart for saving my life and let me have an opportunity to learn about the matter of that year. When I found here, a Luo was still awake and told me the truth.”

Zihui touched a Luo’s head, but his hand only felt air.

“Chu Kong can you think of any immortal practice that needs the sacrifice of a demon or human?”

Chu Kong hesitated and didn’t speak. Zihui’s expression turned serious: “What Jin Lian is practicing isn’t any immortal practice. He is taking the evil ways. That’s why he needs a heart of a stone demon to change the evil energy in his body. A Luo didn’t know about her brother’s plan. Until later did she find out. At that time there were spies around us sent by Jin Lian. In order to prevent Jin Lian from coming down to look for me, that’s why……she took my heart and left. She hid it here. Then she dug her own heart and gave it to Jin Lian. Without the reversal power of the stone heart, Jin Lian soon became walking fire into the demon. Before Jin Luo has the time to come down and tell me, she was killed by the walking fire into the demon Jin Lian. Her soul scattered, leaving only a soul attached to this place. Even after death, she wanted to tell me…… and I always hated her.”

I wondered, the thing called heart isn’t candy. You eat it and spit it out. Other people will lick it and still taste the sweetness…….or is it that everyone is somebody that can still live for hundreds of years without a heart?

While comparing, I felt that when Chu Kong dug out his heart he instantly turned weak.

Seeing everyone’s serious expression I swallowed these heartless words.

Just then, I suddenly heard several clapping sounds: “Very good, very good. I thought that you have deceived my sister. You gave her a fake heart. I didn’t expect that it was my stupid sister’s own act, harming me so far.”

The air in the narrow room suddenly tensed. I subconsciously jumped behind Chu Kong. Only half of my head stuck out to look at that elegant Jin Lian.

“Aiya, we meet again. Really souls that are haunting me, ah.”

Jin Lian gaze first fell on Chu Kong. He laughed: “However seeing my little disciple growing up like this, really make wei s.h.i.+1 comforted. But it’s alright if you didn’t help me, but you stick your elbow outside2.”

Chu Kong sternly said: “Since we’re G.o.ds, there’s no outside or inside. You’re taking the evil ways. I have to make an enemy of you.”

No matter how I listen to it, hearing such justification coming out of Chu Kong’s mouth felt really strange.

I looked up at him and saw his resolute look. There isn’t the slightest bit of a joke. I suddenly felt that after Chu Kong met me he has always been changing. He’s become more mature and more courageous. And I……didn’t seem to have changed.
