Descendants of Pangu in the Great Desolation

Chapter 128 The Last Wish

"Are you really Situ Hai?" I used my consciousness to try to talk to that voice.

"As far as you are concerned, I am Situ Hai; but as far as I am concerned, I am not Situ Hai, or not at all," the immature voice replied.

"Why do you say that? I don't understand."

"Let me tell you this, I am just a wisp of Situ Hai's remnant soul. I originally went to reincarnation with him, but I stayed because of his obsession, and I have been living in his or your dantian. Within. Over the past few years, I have been infected by the powerful aura in your dantian, and I gradually have my own consciousness, but because Situ Hai’s wish is not fulfilled, I can’t get rid of it, and at the same time, I am suppressed by your powerful aura, so I can only stay in the dantian Gui." The immature voice paused for a moment and then continued: "Hehe... I thought I would go on like this forever, but I didn't expect that you blew up your golden core a few days ago in order to save everyone. That powerful aura is for protecting everyone. To hold your golden core that is about to collapse, and concentrate all the power to seal it. Without the restraint of spiritual energy, I can move freely in your body, and even slightly control your thoughts."

"What, you can control my mind?" I exclaimed. "Of course, I used to be a part of Situ Hai. But don't worry, my ability exists because of my obsession. As long as my obsession disappears, my ability will also disappear. At that time, I will be liberated and will not I have been relying on you." Hearing what it said, I secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and continued to ask: "Then what is Situ Hai's unfulfilled wish, so that you are tied down by obsession?"

"Actually, Situ Hai's wish is very simple, but the desire to realize it urgently is so great that he formed a strong obsession after his death, leaving behind me this shattered soul to realize his unfulfilled wish. It started when Situ Hai was six years old..." Remnant Po slowly narrated to me, and it was only then that I figured out the whole thing.

Situ Hai was weak and sick due to premature birth, and would catch cold from time to time, so the prince and concubine kept him confined in the mansion, living the life of a caged bird.At the beginning, Situ Hai enjoyed this kind of life very much, but as he grew older and his mind gradually matured, Situ Hai developed a strong interest in the unknown world. Hearing the happy laughter of the children outside the courtyard wall, Situ Hai felt a sense of innocence in his heart. Itchy, always clamoring to go out of the mansion, but the prince and princess repeatedly refused because of his poor health.Six or seven-year-old children are just at an active age. Although Situ Hai is weak, he can't resist the temptation outside the walls of the hospital. He often wants to run out of the house while others are not paying attention, but it ends in failure every time.Once, he finally escaped the housekeeper, Uncle Fu, and stepped out of the palace that had oppressed him for many years.But before he took the second step, he was seen by the prince who had just returned to the mansion, and carried him back to the mansion with both hands, making his plan to escape the mansion go to waste.Also because of this plan, the prince realized that the root cause of his urgency to leave the house was actually loneliness, without the company of his peers, even if he lived a life of luxury every day, he would not feel happy in his heart.So the prince sent people to search around, trying to find a servant for Situ Hai, who could take care of his daily life and play with him, but no matter how many people the prince sent, he still couldn't find a person he liked.

One day, the prince was wandering around the mansion, and suddenly saw a strange boy playing in the garden of the mansion. The prince stepped forward and was about to inquire, but the boy ran away.Later, I found out from Fu Bo that the boy's name was Xu Lu, eight years old this year, and he was the child of Xu Shuan, who was recently recruited as a handyman in the mansion. Because his mother died early and was left unattended, Xu Shuan brought his son into the mansion together.After entering the mansion, Uncle Fu warned Xu Shuan again and again, don't let Xu Lu run around in the mansion, it's no fun to bump into anyone.Xu Lu is also very obedient. Since entering the mansion, he has never caused any trouble for Xu Shuan. He often helps other people in the mansion with simple tasks. I really like him.

The prince liked Xu Lu at first sight, and after hearing Uncle Fu's words, he wanted to keep him by Situ Hai's side to accompany him, so he ordered Uncle Fu to explain his intentions to Xu Shuan, and said that if Xu Shuan didn't want to, he would Don't force him, let alone embarrass him.After Uncle Fu found Xu Shuan, he conveyed the meaning of the prince one by one. Xu Shuan was not very willing after hearing this. He didn't want his son to sell himself into the mansion like himself, but he was afraid that he would be kicked out of the palace if he didn't agree. He didn't make things difficult for himself, but he was a prince after all, and he could kill himself and his son with one word, so Xu Shuan was caught in a dilemma.Uncle Fu at the side saw that Xu Shuan was silent and his face was ugly, so he knew that Xu Shuan had a lot of worries, so he said a few words of comfort and told him about Situ Hai's situation. Finally, Uncle Fu asked him to think again. If so, go find him.Two days later, Xu Shuan brought Xu Lu to Uncle Fu, and said that he would agree to the prince, but there was a condition that Xu Lu could be a servant by Situ Hai's side, but he would never sell himself into the mansion.As soon as Uncle Fu cheerfully agreed to Xu Shuan's request, he took the father and son to meet the prince and concubine, and Xu Lu followed Situ Hai from now on as a servant and playmate.

For the past six years, Situ Hai had been alone, and a child who accompanied him suddenly appeared, so he was naturally very happy. Within a few days, he played with Xu Lu and temporarily forgot the idea of ​​leaving the house.However, a child is still a child, and once the novelty wears off, he loses interest. Later, when he learned about the affairs outside the mansion from Xu Lu, his already calm heart began to move again, and he put the plan of leaving the mansion on the itinerary again.With the cooperation of Xu Lu this time, Situ Hai easily avoided Uncle Fu and took the first step of leaving the house again. However, the heavens always seemed to be against him, and when he was about to take the second step, A handsome young man suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking his way, making his plan to escape to the house aborted again, and this young man who appeared suddenly was his elder brother Situ Jing who he hadn't seen for three years.

Situ's family precepts: All direct males who have reached the age of thirteen must leave home and live in the Imperial Academy for three years, and conduct a series of in-depth studies on the stability of the country, the way of governance, etc., to lay the foundation for future officials in the dynasty, and better Auxiliary King.Situ Jing had just finished his three-year study, and when he returned to the palace, he saw Situ Hai running out of the mansion. He planned to play tricks on this little brother whom he hadn't seen in three years, and blocked Situ Hai's way with a stride.Before Situ Hai could react, Situ Jing picked him up and walked all the way to the hall.Since Situ Jing returned home, Situ Hai's life was full of laughter again. He dragged Xu Lu to pester Situ Jing every day, and learned from his mouth how wonderful the world outside the mansion is.After Situ Jing's unintentional instigation, Situ Hai was even more eager to see the world outside the mansion, even talking in his sleep, he would shout to go out of the mansion.Seeing that Situ Hai was so eager to leave the mansion, Situ Jing took Situ Hai to hide from Uncle Fu's sight and slipped out of the mansion through the back door while the prince and princess were attending a royal banquet. one time.It's just that the sky didn't come true, and when the fun started, it started to rain suddenly. Situ Jing hurriedly ran back to the mansion with Situ Hai in his arms, but because of the excessive rain, Situ Hai was still drenched by the rain.Situ Hai's body was already weak, so when he was drenched by the rain, he developed a high fever at night, and thus let the ignorant prince know that the reason why Situ Hai fell ill was because Situ Jing took him out of the mansion to play. , caused by rain.A moment of anger made him kneel in the hall for three days as a punishment. Seeing that the prince was angry, the princess hurriedly stopped him, but the prince was so angry that he directly carried Situ Jing into the hall, ordered him to kneel on the ground and then walked away.In the middle of the night, the princess came to the hall quietly while the prince was asleep, and persuaded Situ Jing to go back to the room, saying that she would explain to the prince herself.Situ Jing shook his head stubbornly, and insisted on kneeling in the hall. The princess had no choice but to take a quilt to protect him from the cold, lest the night cold hurt his body, so Situ Jing knelt in the hall all night.

The next day, after Situ Hai’s fever receded, he immediately thought of Situ Jing, and hurriedly asked Xu Lu beside him about his condition. Jing turned pale, Situ Hai threw himself into Situ Jing's arms and burst into tears.Later, Situ Hai even threatened the prince by not drinking the medicine in order to avoid Situ Jing's punishment. In the end, the prince had to give up due to Situ Hai's threat, Situ Jing's stubbornness, and the princess' persuasive persuasion.This matter made the two brothers who were not considered close become close, and Situ Jing also liked this weak but cute little brother more and more.Afterwards, Situ Jing would take Situ Hai out of the house to play from time to time, and the prince would inevitably scold him when he came back, but Situ Jing enjoyed it, and it didn't hurt to scold and scold his younger brother if he could make his younger brother happy.In this way, Situ Jing played wildly with Situ Hai for four years, saying that happiness is short-lived, which is not false at all.

In August of Haoren Emperor Renhe's 18th year, Situ Jing, who had lived at his grandmother's house for a month for some reason, returned to the mansion. As soon as he entered the mansion, he learned from the housekeeper Fu Bo that Situ Hai was seriously ill with acne because he slipped out of the mansion to play. When Situ Jing heard this, he hurried to Bihai Pavilion.Situ Jing ran into the Bihai Pavilion and opened the door to enter the house. Seeing Situ Hai lying on the bed with a pale face, tears rolled down his heart.At this time, Situ Hai, who had just woken up, saw Situ Jing coming back to see him, and hurriedly waved to him.Situ Jing woke him up, hurriedly wiped the tears off his face, went straight to the bed and sat down, holding Situ Hai's weak hand, comforting him.In order to allow him to treat his illness with peace of mind, Situ Jing promised to take him to the street to watch the lanterns during the Lantern Festival.Relying on a promise, Situ Hai stubbornly fought against the illness, but his body could no longer withstand the erosion of the illness. He didn't wait until that day, and didn't even see Situ Jing for the last time, and passed away with that promise.It's just that he took this promise too seriously, so that he left a wisp of soul waiting to fulfill that promise, the promise to go to see the lanterns on the Lantern Festival.
