Chapter 997: The Grand Finale

可是，魏至谦和谈墨却没有像往常一样，笑着回应她。
Aunt felt strange and went to the balcony to have a look.
She saw two people with peaceful expressions, their mouths curled up with smiles, as if they were sleeping.
Aunt was shocked and a bad premonition arose within her.
Trembling, she leaned towards Tan Mo's nose.
No breath.
She looked at Wei Zhiqian again.
He was the same.
Auntie hurriedly called an ambulance and also made a phone call to their children.
儿女带着孩子都迅速的赶到医院，见了父母最后一眼。
按照他们生前便说好了的，将两人合葬。
期待父母下一世依然能够相遇、相爱、相守。
*
I could feel the gentle breeze mixed with a chilling cold.
This feeling is too familiar.
It's the wind she has endured for centuries, accompanied by frost and snow.
This is... on the snowy mountain?
谈墨睁开眼，低头便看见了身上的叶子。
余光瞥见花瓣被风吹的颤颤飘飘，周围都是她熟悉的雪莲同伴。
她这是……回来了？
可是，她作为雪莲精的时候，明明已经活不成了，怎么会又成了雪莲精？
如果她又成了雪莲精，那魏至谦怎么办？
她还跟魏至谦约好了下一世还要在一起呢。
魏至谦还在等着她呢。
她跟魏至谦同时去世，就是想要一起投胎。
可是现在，她又回来成了雪莲精，不就无法跟魏至谦在一起了？
她不想只跟魏至谦在一起一世。
她想生生世世与他在一起。
现在作为雪莲精，上一世的一切，突然仿佛镜花水月一般，变的不那么真实了似的。
Just the thought that she will never have another lifetime to meet Wei Zhiqian again, Tan Mo Lian doesn't even want to be the Snow Lotus Spirit anymore.
Even with thousands or millions of years of remaining life, what meaning does it hold?
Tan Mo started crying and tears fell onto the petals, freezing in the wind and snow.
"Why are you crying?" a familiar voice said.
The entire flower trembled as Tan Mo heard the voice.
This...this is the voice of Wei Zhiqian!
Tan Mo wanted to tilt her head up to see.
But she tried very hard, yet she could only see the hem of the other person's robe.
But this voice, she couldn't have heard it wrong.
紧跟着，她的花瓣便被一只温暖的手轻轻地触摸。
仿佛弄疼她似的，力道轻柔的让谈墨的心都跟着颤起来。
紧跟着，一股熟悉的能量传输到她身上。
Tan Mo only felt an unprecedented surge of energy, as if something seemed about to burst out of her body.
Then, she seemed to be evolving from the inside out.
The flowers became ethereal, transforming into countless tiny dots of light, as if they were merging into the air.
But this feeling is not uncomfortable.
Before Tan Mo had a chance to panic, the light spots of Tan Mo slowly gathered together, faintly forming a shape.
Then, a head formed, followed by a neck, shoulders, arms, body, legs, and feet.
谈墨现在没有镜子，所以不知道，她现在凝聚成型的样子，跟上一世一模一样。
谈墨知道，自己这是终于修成人形了。
谈墨赶忙仰头。
然后狠狠地镇住。
面前的人，不正是魏至谦吗？
他长着一张与魏至谦一模一样的脸。
只是变成了长发，束在脑后。
Dressed in white with embroidered golden and silver trim.
"Master?" Tan Mo couldn't believe his eyes as he spoke.
The person in front of him was both his master and Wei Zhiqian.
"Didn't we agree to meet again in the next life and only call me brother?" Wei Zhiqian smiled at Tan Mo.
“至谦哥！”谈墨哭着笑着，扑进了魏至谦的怀里。
“我以为，你去投胎了，本来跟你说好的下一世再见，却只能留你自己在那儿。我还想着，等我修成人形就去找你，呜呜呜呜呜！”谈墨絮絮叨叨，语无伦次的说了一大堆，“你怎么会……你怎么会是师尊？”
谈墨吸吸鼻子，仰头终于想到了这件事情。
再见到年轻的魏至谦，真好啊。
她的小脸一定也嫩得很。
没等魏至谦回答，谈墨又想起另一个问题，“我现在长什么样子的？跟以前一样的吗？”
魏至谦点头，“一样的。”
魏至谦挥了一下手，面前凭空变出一面镜子。
谈墨知道，这是世间镜。
世间镜未开启的时候，它就是面普通的镜子。
谈墨便看到了自己的样子。
果然跟上一世长得一模一样。
“师……”谈墨叫习惯了，差点儿又叫了师尊，“至谦哥。”
Master is Wei Zhiqian.
She still needs to get used to it.
"How did you become Zhiqian Ge's apprentice?" Tang Mo asked in confusion.
Wei Zhiqian waved his hand, and a scene appeared on the worldly mirror.
It was precisely what Tan Mo had seen, in his first life; the scene of Tan Mo's premature death, and the destruction of his family.
However, there was more to come.
The events that followed, Tan Mo had not foreseen initially. Please note that the translation contains the same number of @ symbols as the original Chinese text.
她看到三个兄长去寺庙祈福，去道观祈福。
而后，一路步行至这座雪山，转山祈福。
他们愿用自己余生的寿命，换谈墨转世，一生幸福无忧，长命百岁。
“其实，第一世也是你。”魏至谦说道。
谈墨张开嘴。
怎么可能，她第一世怎么这么傻？
还能被魏刻礼和袁可情算计了。
"They exchanged their remaining lives for your reincarnation," Wei Zhiqian said, "so I took over your soul, using the reverse time technique to go back to a thousand years ago and plant your soul on this snow mountain, attached to the snow lotus."
"Then, a clone was created to guard this place. For a thousand years, my clone has been teaching you, which is why you are so intelligent now and no longer follow the ways of Wei Ke Li and Yuan Ke Qing," said Wei Zhi Qian.
“我算出你有一劫，正好可以借此一劫，让你投胎。你的三个兄长，虽然只求你转世，一生幸福无忧。但我感动于他们对你的爱护，因此愿赠你们再来一世。到时，以你千年来长成的聪慧，也定能保护你的家人一生幸福无忧，而自己也不会再遭受算计。”
“让你们都重新来一世，弥补上一世的不足。”魏至谦说道，“你果然做到了。第一世，是你的父母和三个哥哥护着你。而第三世，换成你来守护他们。”
"And I, I was reborn as Wei Zhiqian before you, initially thinking of spending a lifetime with you, but unexpectedly..." Wei Zhiqian chuckled softly, "Even I myself fell into it."
姻缘命运自有定数，不可违，他便顺其自然了。
“第三世终结，你我都回到了这里。”魏至谦说道，“你因为第三世在人间，也算是修行，所以等你回来，便直接修成了人。而我也与分身融合。”
谈墨张张嘴，没想到竟是这么复杂。
这么说，是师尊，也是魏至谦，救了她，救了她的父母和哥哥。
是他给了他们所有人重来的机会，给了他们幸福的机会。
怪不得，魏至谦初见她，便对她那么好。
仿佛是莫名其妙，没有缘由的好。
到现在，都有了答案。
“谢谢，谢谢你！”谈墨投进魏至谦的怀抱，哭着说。
原来，他不是只守护了她在人间的一世。
他是守护了她两世之久。
魏至谦揉揉她的发，“现在好了，咱们永远都在一起，真应了之前所说，生生世世，都在一起。”
And we will never age, always looking our best in each other's eyes.
"In the thousands of years to come, please don't ever grow tired of me," Wei Zhiqian chuckled.
"I won't! For thousands, tens of thousands, millions of years, I will never grow tired," Tan Mo replied.
“对了，那……那我爸妈和哥哥们呢？”谈墨问道。
她也不想与他们分开。
可是，每个人都有自己的定数，确实不是她能左右。
"Our parents-in-law passed away long before us, so they have already been reincarnated." Wei Zhiqian said, "But don't worry, they are still happy in their new lives, and are a couple again." Translation: "Our parents-in-law passed away long before us, so they have already been reincarnated." Wei Zhiqian said, "But don't worry, they are still happy in their new lives, and are a couple again."
魏至谦手一挥，镜中的画面就变了。
里面出现了年轻的谈文辞和许茗臻。
两人还是大学生。
他们从小便是青梅竹马，一直上同一所学校，最后考上同一所大学。
高中毕业，谈文辞便跟许茗臻表白了。
两人自然而然又顺理成章的在一起。
谈墨高兴之余，又有些难受，“只可惜，我不能再当他们的孩子了。”
“虽然不能再当他们的孩子，但我们看着他们，护着他们，也好。”魏至谦说道，“不只是岳父岳母，还有二老，还有我爸妈，我们都护着他们。”
“好。”谈墨点头，又觉得这样也不错。
“那我哥哥们呢？”谈墨说道。
“你的哥哥们有造化。因第一世他们用余生换你重生，沾上了修行因果，且对你的一片心着实赤诚，也因此给自己种下了善缘。这一世直接转世成为西海仙君座下弟子。”魏至谦说道，“只不过他们修行未到，没能恢复前世记忆。等将来恢复了，咱们去找他们。”
“好。”谈墨彻底放下了心。
