Chapter 78: Leaving again

Finally, the letter was passed around and proved to be Ru Xue’s handwriting.

What puzzles me is the dream. Is it real or not? Or is it that Ruoxue doesn’t want to see me and has secretly done something? But there is no answer, unless Ruoxue herself comes to explain.

The focus of everyone’s doubts is different from mine. Everyone knows that Ru Xue is in the mysterious Dragon Tomb. How could she suddenly come to India?

“I think we should be careful with the method described in the letter. After all, it’s no secret that Ru Xue’s handwriting is not a secret. What if someone is imitating it? How dare you experiment on Ru Yue? And the method itself is dangerous.” In the large living room, the one who expressed his opinion was Cheng Zhen.

Since no one could explain why Ru Xue was here, everyone kept arguing about the letter, and this was Seung-jin’s concluding statement.

After he finished, he turned to me and asked, “Chengyi, what do you think?”

I shook my head. What could I say? I was in a deep state of confusion myself.

Chengzhen’s conservative opinion was endorsed by most people. After all, we had prepared our own plan for Ruoyue before. In this environment, and with this kind of thing happening, the majority of people are still conservative.

“I agree with the method in the letter.” Chengxin, who had been quiet, suddenly spoke up when everyone was about to agree.

Facing everyone’s puzzled looks, Brother Chengxin said, “First of all, I have some knowledge of witchcraft. Although I don’t know much about it, I know that everything in the letter is not fabricated at all, but has a definite feasibility. Although it is more difficult for us outsiders to operate it! Second, none of you have experienced the Dragon Tomb, but it is a place that I and Chengyi have personally experienced. Let me put it this way: it is a place that cannot be measured by reality, a place that is a testament to the mysteries of space. I and Chengyi walk the same path, and we will inexplicably appear in other places. Do you understand? It is entirely possible that Ruoxue has come here.

Yes, it is entirely possible for Ru Xue to come here, provided that she has already learned something about the deepest part of the Dragon Tomb and can use it!

My master had previously given her the method to enter the deepest part of the Dragon Tomb, and he had also said that the deepest part of the Dragon Tomb was a place with extremely unstable space, where a dragon once tried to return to Kunlun.

This is a modern myth, but it really happened in front of my eyes.

“I agree with Brother Chengxin’s opinion.” I spoke hoarsely. Brother Chengxin’s words reminded me of everything in the old forest, even though it was the last thing I wanted to remember, but I had a hunch that Brother Chengxin was right.

“But…” Chengzhen was still unconvinced.

“Actually, the problem is very simple. There is surveillance in the hospital.” This time, we didn’t avoid Wal-Mart. After all, he is the owner here. While we were discussing, he listened with great interest. At this critical moment, he suddenly said a decisive sentence.

“What?” Even the always calm Chengqing was shocked this time, and his eyes were full of reproach for Walmar, to the effect that if that was the case, why hadn’t he said so earlier.

Facing our murderous looks, Walmar said innocently, “You guys are so damn interesting. I was so engrossed in listening to you that I actually wanted to tell you about this a long time ago.”

Everyone was speechless, and Xiao Chengqian walked up to Wal-Mart and patted him on the shoulder, saying, “I remember you as a gentleman. How come you’ve been talking like this for the past few days?”

“Oh, that’s what Chengyi taught me. A Taoist should speak in a way that is straightforward and very manly,” said Walma proudly.

In the end, Walma called up the surveillance video from the hospital, and in the surveillance video, we all witnessed one thing, and that is that Ruoxue really came here!

She only appeared for a short period of time, walking through the hospital corridor with surveillance cameras, and then she never appeared again.

In that video, the corridor that Ru Xue walked through was only three minutes after I ran out.

“If it weren’t for Ru Yue’s sister living on the first floor, or Ru Xue’s sister would have appeared more often.” Cheng Yuan looked at me repeatedly, comforting me like this, or she couldn’t find any more comforting words.

I sneered and finally reached out to turn off the video. Since she really came, why did she choose to do this? She was so stingy that she didn’t even want to see me and say a few words? I was completely calm now. This calmness came from the coldness in my heart. I felt that one of the most precious feelings deep in my heart had been frozen forever.

Looking at my expression, the people who watched the video with me didn’t know what to say. After all, how could outsiders comment too much on the feelings of two people? In the end, Xiao Chengqian mustered the courage to say to me, “Chengyi, no matter what, a man must respect a woman’s choice. I hope you can let go.”

I nodded and didn’t say anything more. What’s more terrifying than pain is coldness of the heart. Even if I can’t forget, shouldn’t the one I can’t forget be Ruoxue before entering the Dragon Tomb? Or after entering the Dragon Tomb, the real Ruoxue no longer exists. It is truly a woman who has abandoned the mortal world after entering the Dragon Tomb and has become a stranger with only Ruoxue’s shell.

This thought made it difficult for me to breathe. I hoped that the pain of the broken heart would hurt me internally, but I had to accept it.

I forced myself to hold my trembling hands for five seconds before taking a deep breath and saying to everyone, “Is it going well over there in Yue? Has anyone gone to check?

“I’ll go take a look. I hope that Ruoyue has already gotten through the most difficult part.” The one who spoke was Chengzhen. After she finished speaking, she turned and walked out of our guest room.

According to the letter, there are two reasons why the fat silkworm cannot cure Ruoyue’s poison. The first is that Ruoyue herself has her own life-giving worm, which the fat silkworm rejects. The second and most important reason is that when Ruoxue handed the fat silkworm to me, she had actually used certain methods to make the fat silkworm accept my existence. Otherwise, how could I, an outsider, possibly control such a top-notch worm? To put it more clearly, I am half the owner of the fat silkworm, so it is natural for it to heal my poison. According to its ‘pride,’ how could it possibly heal Ruoyue’s poison again?

So there are two solutions. The first is for me to become the owner of the fat silkworm and be able to command it to cure Ruoyue.

The second is to turn the fat silkworm into Ru Yue’s life-affecting parasite, so that the fat silkworm will naturally heal Ru Yue’s poison.

The first is naturally impossible, because I am a Taoist, and my identity dictates that I cannot accept this kind of inheritance from the Miao village. No matter how friendly the Miao village is to me, it is impossible to plant the top-level golden silkworm on an “outsider.” It is okay to carry it, and you can plant it if you want to, unless you officially give up your Taoist identity and become a member of my Miao village.

The second option is to choose the second method, in which Ru Xue simply wrote the method of extracting and planting the gong. It is not too difficult, and it is possible for outsiders to do it. The only difficulty is that extracting the gong will make Ru Yue instantly lose any ability to defend against the poison on that body (all along, the one who has been fighting against the poison is Ru Yue’s own life-giving gong). Ru Yue must withstand it for a while before planting the golden silkworm gong.

In addition, another point is that not everyone can grow the golden silkworm, otherwise the golden silkworm would be so powerful that many villages would have cultivated a certain number of them. We are not sure what the secret is, but the only thing we can be sure of is that if Yue can’t handle the fat silkworm, the outcome will be tragic.

The content of the letter is roughly like this. On the letter, Ru Xue did not add any comments of her own, such as whether Ru Yue could withstand it, what the odds were, etc., but simply explained the method.

Abandoning the mortal world, perhaps she has not abandoned her only sister, but such a cold letter is almost over, right? I found that hatred makes people’s thoughts dark, but what can be done to not hate? Chen Chengyi is just an ordinary person after all, and various emotions and resentment will still exist. I hope that he can truly let go after this.

That’s what I told myself!

Five days later, on a sunny day, Yue also woke up on such a day.

I leaned against the door frame and watched Qin Huai holding Ru Yue’s hand in the ward, looking surprised and with a hint of a smile on his lips. I thought to myself, is this a happy ending?

Qinhuai arrived in India two days ago. When he saw me, the first thing he said to me was, “Chengyi, I really want to beat you up, but not because of Ruoyue’s injury. As your brother, I just want you to tell me in person in the future, even if it’s something that will make the sky fall and the earth sink. Do you understand?”

“I think I understand,” I replied.

“For many years, I have known you too well. Because I value the people around me too much, sometimes I become hateful! But is running away and letting yourself get hurt always the answer? Chengyi, don’t be so cloying forever. Didn’t your master tell you not to be like this since you were a child?”

Master? In this sunlight, I silently repeated this word in my heart, and then it was time to leave, right?

Go to Raipur and find a man named Johnny.
