Chapter 51: The Tribulation of the Tianshan Mountains (Tiangu)
I crawled forward little by little along the flat road. The rain above my head was still falling, but it was not as heavy as before, and it was rustling.
After a brief numbness in my body, the pain gradually spread. The pain that penetrated my heart made me grit my teeth and try to climb forward.
Even if it took a long time to climb an inconspicuous distance, I knew that I would be closer to home.
Even if there is no hope in the future, how can you know if you don’t work hard? The sky is getting darker and you can see some light before you, but because it is a rainy night, when the last ray of light is taken away, only the light of the city is left in the entire environment.
I left the city and crawled alone on the periphery, planning in my mind that I could go to the next place with people tomorrow, hoping to buy food where I could buy.
But the plan seems to be a plan forever. I climbed forward for a while and could no longer resist the pain of concentration.
After I couldn't help but spit out another mouthful of blood foam, a terrible feeling of fatigue came from my head. I experienced that experience when I jumped from below the Tianshan Mountains, so I hurriedly pinched my arm with my hands, but the magical thing was that even though I had used a lot of strength, I still couldn't feel the pain.
When he was in Tianshan, he saved me, so who can save me here? This is a big question.
Although I didn't want to sleep, I was powerless, so I used my last effort to move myself to a place that could block some of the rain.
I crawled steadily, took a look at the bright city, and turned around to pillow my arms.
I stopped struggling and slept peacefully. It was very tiring to survive, but giving up hope was extremely relaxed. It was like a person was tired. After giving himself a very simple reason, he fell asleep deeply.
The whole process did not last ten seconds. The last thought was just that I was tired and wanted to rest, so after turning my body, I fell asleep.
At that time, I didn’t know where I was, where I would go, whether I was dead or alive, but the only thing I could remember was the lotus pond that appeared in my eyes after I fell asleep.
I was like a dream, walking alone on the stone bridge of the lotus pond. The lotus flowers below were in full bloom. From time to time, fish floated up and looked at me.
Everything was full of vitality, as beautiful as a fairy tale in a dream, but all the beauty lasted only a few minutes, and I was about to reach out to pick up the water in the pool.
Suddenly everything in front of me shattered, and the beauty turned into disaster. The surroundings were covered with hot rocks, and in front of me was a deep abyss, with flames rolling below.
The terrible temperature scared me, and I hurriedly took a few steps back, leaning against the stone wall.
"You're here?"
Suddenly a sound came out. When I heard this, I looked back and saw an old man standing on the stone wall on the side, and I recognized him.
It was the old man who disappeared not long ago. He said we would meet soon, but it was true that we met soon.
"To be honest, I don't really want to see you," I said.
Because he said that when we meet again, it is the time when I am most desperate. Although I am unwilling to admit it, Xiaoya is the time when I am most desperate and unwilling to accept it.
The old man smiled when he heard this, "But everything has become a reality. You have spent nearly three months living a life worse than a pig or dog. You have suffered cold eyes, cruelty, and despair. Now you are facing life and death. So I think it's time to meet you, and I don't know if I should return disappointed this time or get good news."
The old man said.
Upon hearing this, I pondered and couldn't find anything to say. I wanted to be myself, but it seemed unlikely that he would. After all, everything would have to cost, and this price would probably be impossible for me to bear.
So after thinking for a long time, he said helplessly: "I can exchange something else!"
"Then what do you think is worth your life? Money or something specific?"
"I don't know, maybe you can talk about what you want to take from me first."
“Memory, kindness, and mercy”
"Ha, sure enough, you still want to pull me into the darkness and fall into the abyss. If I agree with you, will you become an evil soul?"
I asked.
The old man nodded without hesitation, "Everything needs a price, and what I want is exactly what you want to keep. Of course, you can choose not to trade with me, so our seemingly unfair cooperation can stop in the bud, but I want to remind you that at this moment, kindness cannot save you."
He said.
I suddenly fell into deep thought after hearing this, "Can I change something else? Anything can be done?"
I hurriedly spoke.
"Family affection, one life for another"
"No," I refused directly.
The old man Yinlu laughed a few times, "What do you think you want to change? What can a dying person give me? The broken iron frame under him is still the two iron hooks, or the money saved?"
The old man asked.
Listening to him scolding me one by one, I felt very angry, so I stared at him with angry eyes.
"In a moment of life and death, you go, see you again in the next life"
I said stubbornly, I was never willing to give up the kindness in my heart, but everything fell into the old man's ears, undoubtedly like a ridiculous joke.
"A naive person, do you know why your grandma doesn't let you test what you lack?"
"Why?"
"Do you want to see?" He spoke and walked towards me, pinching his palm in the air, and instantly, four copper coins appeared in his hand.
He threw the copper coins forward, and a crisp sound rang out in his ears, and the sound of falling on the stone surface was as harsh as the tip of a knife.
I couldn't help but take a look and found that the four copper coins that fell were falling into a strange situation.
"As an Onmyoji, I don't need to say this?" he asked.
My eyes were fixed on the four copper coins and I didn't leave for a moment. After a long time, I felt like I was crazy and hurriedly shook my head, "Impossible, this is impossible." I picked up the copper coins in a panic, and then carefully checked the copper coins and found that it was very ordinary and had nothing special at all.
I didn't believe it and once again tested the divination for myself. The copper coins I fell down with my own hands became the same as before.
Seeing this, I subconsciously took a few steps back and leaned against the stone wall.
"Haha...haha......a man who practices, a man who practices." I smiled unceremoniously, and as I smiled, tears gushed out like water.
The second life test comes from his hands and once he calculates it himself.
When the copper coins are not fake, the secondary copper coins fall in a good way, just like when you put them on with your hands.
This made me extremely desperate. I opened my mouth but didn't want to talk, because the method of copper coins was explained by geoscience. After reasoning out, I had nothing to lack in everything, and the only thing I lacked was love!
The game becomes a destiny and lonely star. To put it nicely, I call it lonely life. To put it bluntly, I just take a sweep of stars. I will never get any love for my whole life, and this is what I lack in my practice.
