Chapter 58: What happened in that moment
“Third brother, I’ll always find a way to delay it for a while later. If anything happens to you, your lineage will be cut off, and my sister will suffer for the rest of her life… It’s more painful than ending her life.” When the monster crawled out, Yue stood behind me and said this to me.
I was shocked, but I didn’t turn around. I was deeply moved. Ru Yue was always a strange and quirky person, but beneath that seemingly indifferent surface, her feelings were so deep.
At this time, the monster had already used its eyes to scan everyone present. I said to Ru Yue in a low voice, “I’m afraid it won’t work. In your words, if I abandon any of you, I will suffer for the rest of my life, which is more painful than ending my own life.”
After saying this, I felt a strange calmness in my heart. Under the monster’s gaze, I strode forward, because not far from the monster, my two uncles were still sitting there, injured.
My master and I had the same idea. We both looked at each other and smiled, and we both walked straight over. The monster looked at us as we walked over and let out a warning-like neigh. Although it looked 70% human, it was still not human and could not speak.
I held a whisk in one hand and the stimulant pill in the other, ignoring the monster’s warning and just walking towards my two uncles.
“Chengyi, go back. Chengxin, why are you here?” It was Master Chen who spoke.
“Three, control your disciples. Do you really want our lineage to be cut off?” Uncle Wang said with a bitter smile.
“There are some things more important than the inheritance. But what’s with that monster? If it wants to come out, then come out and fight a good fight. What’s the point of always lying on the belly of the old monster?” In the face of the monster’s provocation, my master was more dashing than I was.
“That’s right, let’s have a good fight.” Master Hui followed in my master’s footsteps.
Behind me, Ruyue also followed my footsteps.
Finally, it was Grandma Lingqing. She only said one sentence: “Li Chun, I won’t live alone. There is Ru Xue in the village.” These two simple sentences expressed all of Grandma Lingqing’s thoughts. With Ru Xue in the village, she no longer needed to protect it. Although she was not my master’s first wife, it did not affect her heart to live and die with my master.
Love sometimes doesn’t need to be together, or even marriage to prove it.
We are not together, but we still love each other very much, very deeply.
When Master heard these words, he stopped in his tracks, stood still for a second, and then said only one word without turning his head: “Good!”
I also laughed all of a sudden, laughing very happily, happy for the master. His love in this lifetime has not been given in vain to Grandma Lingqing, but at the same time, there were tears in my eyes, like snow. If I die, please… please forget me.
While we were talking, we had already reached the monster. I was the first to arrive, and I didn’t care about the monster that had not yet completely climbed out of the old monster’s stomach. I picked up Uncle Wang and put him on my back.
Over there, Brother Chengxin also had Uncle Chen on his back.
Master, Uncle Hui, Grandma Lingqing, and even Ruoyue, all stood in front of us.
Behind us, people seemed to be moved by something, and they all gathered behind us.
Uncle Chen, with a gentle smile and calm eyes, said, “Chengxin, it’s a pity that I haven’t thoroughly studied several of the formulas, but I…”
Before Uncle Chen finished speaking, Uncle Wang nodded and said, “It’s a death without regret.
“We all have great regrets, but this way of dying can make up for that regret.” My master was speaking. I couldn’t figure out what their great regrets were.
Over there, our fearlessness may have irritated the monster. It looked like a lion that had been provoked by a group of rabbits, emitting a shrill neighing and then beginning to struggle violently, trying to climb out of the old monster’s stomach.
In any case, Uncle Chen’s magic spell had caused it harm, even great harm.
Facing the monster’s movements, Master and the others had already begun to cast spells. I glanced at Chengxin and, carrying the two uncles on my back, rushed to the edge of the crowd and then back, desperately fighting.
I rushed to the side of the master and saw that the entire body of the monster was about to crawl out, except for one missing limb. That limb had been sealed in the tree and assimilated by the dead, and no immortal could do anything about it.
I didn’t hesitate to raise the pill in my hand…
At the same time, the monster completely climbed out of its stomach, stood up straight, and was probably a little bigger than a human baby. It was a strange purple color, with a shell-like wing on its back and clearly defined limbs. However, on the sides of its chest and abdomen, there were six insect-like joints.
Its face looked a lot like a human face, but of course it was only a lot like it. No human would have insect-like antennae on their forehead, no human would have eyes that were so long and narrow, but only black, and no human would have a chin that was so sharp, and no human would have a purple shell on their face.
This is what the monster looks like. It is dripping with a slimy liquid that I don’t know what it is. Could it be that the old monster also has amniotic fluid?
I thought maliciously, at that time the pill was about to be thrown into my mouth.
The master was using a technique I didn’t know.
Grandma Ling Qing’s face was flushed with a sickly redness. I didn’t know what kind of insect she was going to use…
Master Hui had bitten his finger and was now smearing it on his own body.
…
Everything was moving in a desperate direction, and the monster’s face had a look of mockery on it. The next moment, the wings behind it flapped up.
It was at this moment that the event occurred!
At that moment, I don’t know how to describe it. Everyone seemed to be frozen in time. I can’t prove that everyone was thinking the same thing at that moment. But at that moment, we all had the same feeling. We all thought the same thing. Something great was about to happen. There was a feeling of attachment and longing in our hearts. We were going to kneel down.
Yes, if you want proof, the only proof at that moment was that everyone’s actions were frozen, and then everything that needed to be done was interrupted. Even the pill I was about to put in my mouth fell to the ground, and we all knelt down.
It wasn’t a forced kneeling, but a willing one.
At this moment, the monster’s movements were also forbidden. It was better than us in that it didn’t kneel down. It just suddenly raised its head. I couldn’t see its expression, but it was really like what Uncle Wang said, I don’t know what level of life it is, but its emotions always affect us and make us feel it.
At that moment, I felt its unwillingness, fear, and yet a kind of helpless joy.
In an instant, the monster disappeared before our eyes, yes, it disappeared in real life. I don’t know what others felt, but in that instant, I felt a kind of coincidence. It’s hard for me to describe this coincidence in detail. It’s like your body being squeezed into someone else’s flesh and blood. It’s just an instant, and then that piece of flesh and blood leaves, taking away whatever was on it.
I was stunned and looked at everything in front of me. I still couldn’t move because in my eyes, I felt like I was in a mist. The only thing I could see in the mist was a pavilion. I could only see the eaves, and I couldn’t see the whole body. I always felt that it was the foot of a mountain.
I can’t forget what happened in that moment, and what happened in that moment is something I can never be sure existed in my life. Until a purple body quickly flew over, that strange moment was broken.
The appearance of that figure made this wonderful moment quickly fade away, as if it was fading away to reject the purple figure. We were all kneeling there, everyone seemed to be dreaming, and we couldn’t wake up for a long time. I can’t be sure what I saw in my whole life.
When I came to my senses, I saw the older generation, including my master. Everyone was trembling, especially my master, who was already in tears. No one cared about the purple figure that had just leapt at them.
I don’t know why the older generation was so excited. I was shocked, but not that excited, so I noticed the purple figure.
