Chapter 210 - Jade
At first I thought that she liked to raise tiger cubs when she was alive, so Mu Zhao carved this jade to keep her company. However, she died a month later and her body did not change at all. Only then did I realize the magic of the jade.
Two months later, Mu Zhao's body suddenly showed signs of dying. She suddenly became conscious before her death and asked me to put her ashes in her coffin so that they could be buried together in death and meet in the next life. I agreed.
Mu Zhao and she had adopted an orphan girl from a lowly tribe and treated her very well. The orphan girl served him in his last few days, but he didn't expect that one day Mu Zhao would cut her neck with the ten-string harp and die.
After Mu Zhao's death, I was tortured by guilt every day and couldn't sleep. She, who had turned into a ghost, often appeared in my dreams. She kept cursing me, cursing me to be alone and miserable forever without love, until her anger was gone.
Later, the little orphan girl played the ten-string harp in front of their coffins day and night, and my nightmares gradually became lighter.
She told me that the zither was filled with the blood and hatred of those two people, and that people with good intentions should play it every day to try to resolve the hatred. She also said that Mu Zhao named the zither "Yuan Xing" before he died.
In order to atone for my sin, I sent my wife and children back to the Chu clan, transferred the position of clan leader to someone else, and demoted myself to a priest in the clan to pray for blessings and rain every year. I also set up clan rules that the person who takes over as priest must not marry or get married for the rest of his life, and must concentrate on benefiting the clan members to atone for this sin that will last forever.
Many years later, my health was deteriorating. My wife came to visit me with her adult children, and she scolded me angrily and tearfully. I felt even more guilty, so I made a promise to protect him as an older brother or a younger brother for the rest of my life.
There is one thing that has not been said. According to Mu Zhao's notes, if the color of the jade in her mouth turns into pure white or pure blood red one day, it will be the day when the resentment in her soul is dissipated. The Mu family can no longer have priests and elders and will be able to live in peace and prosperity.
I hope that future generations will do more good deeds and never imitate my words and deeds, Mu Ze!
After reading this letter written in blood, Mu Zhixiao actually wanted to back out. It turned out that the ancestor of his Mu family was not in this coffin. The woman in the coffin should be the one mentioned in the letter. The black porcelain jar should contain Mu Zhao's ashes. He thought that only he and Mo'er were in a bitter love, but he didn't expect that it was nothing compared to them.
"Mo'er, are we really going to take this Spirit Tiger Blood Jade away?"
At this moment, Qingmo was already in tears and his heart was shaken. Looking at the woman in the coffin, he felt full of guilt and regretted coming here and disturbing their peace.
"Mo'er, let's go!" Mu Zhixiao held Qingmo's cheeks and pleaded.
Qing Mo did not turn around to look at him, but continued to stare at the woman in the coffin. Driven by some unknown force, she pushed Mu Zhixiao away and rushed to the woman's side. She gently pinched her mouth open and took the Spirit Tiger Blood Jade out of her mouth.
"Mo'er, you..."
"Xiao, I can't do it. I can't watch you die! We have got the things, let's hurry up..." Before they could say the word "leave", the two felt a movement in the coffin. Turning around, they saw that the flesh on the corpse collapsed rapidly and finally turned to ashes.
This scene shocked the two of them and froze them in place. After a long while, Mu Zhixiao spoke up, "Mo'er, since we made a mistake, let's try to minimize it."
Qing Mo nodded with a guilty look on his face. The two of them placed the woman's ashes little by little into the black porcelain jar with their hands. Then they kowtowed a few times before leaving in a hurry. When they left, they took away the pair of silver bracelets and brocade cloth.
