Chapter 119: The start of a sad and shocking event

Under my sudden loud shouting, the seriously injured gudiao couldn’t help but tremble all over… and subconsciously said a sentence: “That’s me…”

My heart trembled violently. This was the first time I had felt this emotion after I had recovered my soul. No matter how strange things had been before, I had never felt this way, but I was still able to maintain a semblance of composure. I didn’t give the spirit a chance to catch its breath, and continued to shout, “What is it? Say it clearly.”

This time, I was purely using Taoist shouting techniques, which are the most mind-blowing… not to mention a spirit body that is purely injured without the protection of a physical body.

“That’s me, my bones.” The gourd owl’s eyes were momentarily dazed, and once again it subconsciously followed my question and answered.

This shock made me take two or three steps back… This is clearly a human skeleton, and this gudiao is saying it is it?

I wanted to ask again, but suddenly the power that had just disappeared spread again at a crazy speed in the cave… I hadn’t recovered yet when the power gathered together again and slammed into me.

My soul was violently shaken, and I was dizzy, so I fell to the ground… This shock even affected my physical body, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of my mouth.

I reached out to wipe the blood from the corner of my mouth, and forced myself to swallow the blood that had rushed to my throat because of the violent shock… It can be seen that the power of this attack was so heavy that it may not have been held back at all, and it was only because it was done in haste that it did not cause much harm to me.

But I was also puzzled. I could feel my soul power surging, but it was more than twice as powerful as before.

But I couldn’t let myself wonder. A voice with an uncontrollable temper sounded in my head like a thunderclap: “You think I’m gone? You’ve offended me. You shouldn’t ask questions you shouldn’t ask. Have you forgotten? I said I could kill you!”

Faced with this angry voice, I could only remain silent. I knew that I had inadvertently broken the biggest taboo. I weighed the situation and said, “Then don’t ask. This has nothing to do with me. I was just curious. I’ll keep it to myself.”

I couldn’t believe it. I had actually said something so meek and submissive… Because of my personality, if someone had hurt me like that, even if I was no match for them, I would never have said something so submissive.

But the next moment, my heart was at peace again. In order to continue to move forward, in order to do what needs to be done, it is better to swallow one’s pride than to lose one’s way. Besides, the matter originally had nothing to do with me… Even if the corpse of the gui was a pig, what does it matter to me?

It was just that the idea and intuition about the future were too strange? But I also put it aside.

“Hmph!” With these words, the power was silent for a while, and then it retreated silently. At the moment it retreated, the spirit of the Gui Diao was suddenly hit, and it fell two or three meters from the ground, emitting a scream like a baby crying, and then fell to the ground.

It was probably the force that retreated and warned the gourd carving in passing.

At this point, when I think back, I feel a sense of fear, and my forehead is covered with beads of sweat. I reach out to wipe them away… I glance at the gudiao, and its eyes are also filled with fear. I originally wanted to ask it something, but in the end I remained silent. I knew that the power had already warned the gudiao, and I couldn’t ask it anything.

In theory, I should now push open the bronze door to the cave and continue downwards… But the next moment, I rejected the idea. I needed to rest, and the best way to do that was to wait until Shatu had digested the power of the Gui Diao, and then I would continue downwards.

Thinking about this, I looked at the Gu Diao with a cold gaze and said, “I’m going to stay here for a while, so it’s best if we don’t get on each other’s nerves… Otherwise, even if I can’t kill you, I can still continue to devour you. Don’t think you have any leverage. If you provoke me first…”

At this point, I didn’t continue, and some threats and warnings are just right.

The gourd looked at me with hatred in his eyes, but also some fear… After all, he had tacitly agreed to this, so I didn’t pay any more attention to him, but went to the corner of the cave, picked up the already dirty steamed buns and some water, and carefully patted the dust off the steamed buns, then continued walking down the cave.

“The master once said that every grain of food is hard-won and essentially no different from precious medicine, and should be treasured.” Thinking of this master, a thin figure appeared in my mind, with three long mustaches, a wide robe and large sleeves… It was really the demeanor of a fairy.

My heart was also warmed, just like when I thought of my master.

But the next moment, I suddenly stopped… Who is the Master? Why do I have such memories and emotions? Finally, a guess came to my mind, and suddenly my sweat covered my whole body.

At this moment, a long sigh sounded in my mind… I couldn’t help but run madly down the cave to the bronze gate… I immediately sat cross-legged and immediately entered a state of meditation, beginning to feel my soul.

At first glance, I found that the membrane was still there… This gave me a sigh of relief, but the next moment, I discovered a fact that almost made me despair: although the membrane was there and although it was not broken… it had become very transparent, almost nonexistent.

From beneath the membrane, an unknown force (should be called power) was slowly seeping out and blending with my own soul…

I closed my eyes and tears rolled down my cheeks. I had thought of hundreds of ways to die, most of them in battle, but I never imagined that I would disappear completely in such a silent and invisible way! People are like a drop of water in the river. Even if the soul is scattered, the existence of a single drop of water that once existed independently will leave its own traces in the long river of time, which is its own will.

But what does this mean for me? I am quietly merging with the will of my previous life, and I can say that I am absolutely oppressed by the powerful will of my previous life, and then annihilated… Although this is not a process that anyone wants, once this happens… this is the result of fate.

Calm, composed, indifferent, precise in calculation, absolutely hateful… None of these traits are mine… It is also predestined. Is it not better to have such a will? The impulsive, cloying, emotional Chen Chengyi who often makes wrong judgments is the one who will be eliminated, right?

The tears rolled down my cheeks and stopped abruptly. I realized that this absolute sadness only made me shed two tears… Then came a numbness that was close to giving up.

This is a reprieve. Now it is slowly merging, and one day it will be completely merged together… This is how it should be, right? So what can I do? This is the only thing I can think of.

A sigh echoed in my mind… I knew that this was the Taoist boy, and that he was also passive in this fusion… I didn’t understand what he was sighing about. He had already given up this way of communicating with me.

“I am you, you are me, even if you are my past life, you should also bear the responsibility of my present life! That is the responsibility that the old Li family has to bear! Even if I am extinguished, you must continue!” My heart was crying out, yes, it was crying out to communicate with Dao Tongzi.

“Hmm,” a voice of indifference emerged in my heart. Oh, this absurd self-conversation!

“If I’m not around anymore, I’ve been indebted to Jiang Lixun for my entire life, and our relationship is very deep… So, you understand, if I survive that battle, you must help me to be filial to him, to stay with him until the end of his life, to wear mourning clothes for him, and to hold memorial services for him for many years. No, you must promise.” Master… Master, do you know that one day, the Chen Chengyi standing in front of you will no longer be your disciple?

If you really knew, would you be sad?

No, this kind of thing can’t happen. I suddenly shouted again, “You have to pretend to be me. You can’t let the people close to me find out anything. Do you hear me?”

“I promise, I’ll try.” The voice was still indifferent, but I could feel the solemnity.

“My parents, my relatives…”

“And my friends…”

“I promise.”

“I have one regret in my life, and that is that the woman I love most… is in a place that may not exist in this world, alone, guarding a sense of justice and responsibility… If possible, after you have fulfilled your responsibilities in this world, you help me find her. After we have completely merged, you should know this memory. You are so capable, you can definitely help me find her…”

As I said this, my soul began to ache. No, at this moment, it should be our shared soul that began to ache.

For the first time, we were in perfect harmony, both of us enduring the pain.

“What do you say when you find her?” The Taoist boy’s voice was no longer indifferent, but instead carried an indescribable melancholy as he asked me.
