C67 (2/2)
Doctor Song looked at the bonfire with a hesitant expression. His brows were tightly knitted, and he obviously had something on his mind. However, after a while, his eyebrows gradually relaxed.
”The mountain is cold at night, this wine must be carried on the body. There were doctors who climbed too high, without wine or fire, they froze to death in one night …”
Doctor Song's words were somewhat strange, as if he wanted to express something, but it seemed like he was just speaking casually.
”As doctors, we can cure illnesses, cure diseases, but we can't cure the heart …”
I stared at Dr. Song with a strange expression, but he didn't seem to care. He held a stick in his hand, fiddled with the fire, and stared at the flickering sparks.
”Humans will always die. Although they can cure them for a while, they won't be able to save their entire lives, just like how we, even if we can save millions of lives, our lives, will never be able to save ourselves. After a hundred years, who can remember a pile of dirt? What did he leave behind? ”In the end, it's like Mars. No matter how high you jump, the end will still be extinguished …”
”Brother Song, you're drunk!”
”Drunk?” Shaking his head, Doctor Song gave a self-deprecating laugh, ”We commoners think we're people who have lived a clear life, but who doesn't get drunk? After living for 30 years, in the end, you are only living in your own world. You think that the glory and achievements you have achieved are laughable and lamentable … ”
”Brother Song...”
”Please listen to my story!”
”Four months ago, there was a doctor who was not very skilled in medicine. He was never misdiagnosed and had never committed any evil deeds. On the contrary, for the sake of his patients, he traversed mountains and rivers alone, traversed mountains and mountains, and harvested medicinal herbs. However, before he left, he found a person who was injured. That person was a patient who had been treated by a doctor before, so he came up the mountain to catch a snow fox, and because he had lost his spark and drunk all the alcohol, he was soon going to die from the cold here. The doctor could not give up on such a life, so he built a fire, stewed soup, and warmed up his body and blood. After the patient woke up, he thanked the doctor profusely, saying that even if he was a horse, he would still repay the doctor. ”
Doctor Song's tone was calm, as if he really wasn't talking about himself. I just listened to him, listening to the story he wanted to tell me.
”On the way down the mountain, the patient unexpectedly discovered the tracks of the Snow Fox. The snow fox's fur was indeed very valuable, but no matter how valuable it was, could it be worth more than a person's life? The patient knocked him out while the healer wasn't paying attention, robbed him of his spark and his dwindling supply of dry rations and spirits, and went off to pursue the snow fox alone. When the doctor woke up, his body had already been frozen solid. What's worse is that there is a snow wolf in front that is staring at him with tiger like eyes! ”
Doctor Song sighed, a trace of light flashing through his eyes. It was not hatred or fear, but a hint of clarity.
”At that moment, when he was facing death, the doctor realized that he finally understood the world. So, ingratitude is so simple, and human life is so worthless. Is fate playing a trick, or is the Heavenly Dao reversed?”
”When the snow wolf pounced on us, the doctor was already prepared to close his eyes and wait for death. But at this time, a red light appeared in front of us, it was a bloody man, a man covered in blood with a smile on his face! With a light wave of his hand, the Snow Wolf was sent flying. With another wave of his hand, the doctor miraculously regained his mobility, as if the snow around him was just flying fibers! ”
”That man isn't a human, but regardless of whether he's Immortal or Demon, he saved the doctor's life, saved an awakened heart!”
Dr. Song threw the dead branch into the fire, stood up abruptly, and looked at me. I looked at him calmly and stood up slowly. I didn't know what he wanted, I only knew that he had changed, or, at this moment, that he had come back to life!
Unexpectedly, Doctor Song looked at me for a moment, and then walked over with large strides and kneeled down in front of me with a thump.
”Brother Song, what are you doing?”
”That man, is you! Say, if you save me once, I will save you once as well! So I brought you back with me to treat you. Not only was it for a promise, it was also for my realization! ”
I know that you are leaving, you want to recover from your injuries as soon as possible and then leave this place. I have no other requests, I only hope that you can accept me as your disciple.
Looking at Dr. Song's pleading face, I sat down slowly and looked at him blandly. I don't know how much courage and determination he mustered. When he finally found out that I wanted to leave, he followed me up the mountain and said some words that he hadn't said in months.
Do you think I'm an Immortal or a Demon?
Doctor Song shook his head. ”It doesn't matter if you're an immortal or a demon. As long as you can escape from your fate, I don't care.”
”Right now, I am just a cripple. I can't even save myself, how can I help you? Do you think that once you become an immortal, you will be able to escape your fate? The world of the Immortal is far more cruel and uncontrollable than the world of mortals! ”
Doctor Song was stunned and looked at me blankly. After a while, he suddenly stood up and said, ”You are not him. Your temperament is completely different from his. Let him out, I want to talk to him!”
Shaking my head, I heaved a long sigh. ”Big brother Song, since I called you big brother, then I'll tell you the truth. Can you sit down and listen to me?”
Perhaps it was because I was extremely sincere, but Dr. Song slowly calmed down and sat down quietly.
”There are a lot of things that I can't explain to you, but I can tell you, the me that you saw before, isn't me! That's right, I'm the immortal you speak of, but so what? Who said that immortals could get rid of their fates, and immortals could take control of their own? The deity in front of you is unable to escape from the clutches of fate, and is instead played even more miserably by fate. Even if your family dies in front of you, you will not be able to save them! For so many years, he had never had a friend that he could fully trust. The only thing he could trust was to make use of her. You have a father, you have a wife and children who love you. Even if life is unfair to you, at the very least, you're living a happy life! I am willing to give everything I have in exchange for a normal life! I have been cultivating for more than ten years, and I have never had a single day where I have been able to live a peaceful life. At every moment, I have always lived in pain, living a careful life, scheming and scheming with each other. In order to survive, I have killed many people, I have given up my dignity, and I have even abandoned my humanity! My pain, my despair, you will never be able to understand it! Is this life what you want? Is it what you crave? Are you willing to give up your wife, your father, and your friends in exchange for this kind of human and ghost life? ”
Seeing my trembling eyes filled with emotion, Dr. Song fell silent. I knew that he couldn't let go of his father, his wife, or even his father. His so-called awareness was just an impulse in his heart.
”Think of your wife, think of your friends, are you really unhappy …”
Sometimes, enjoying the most ordinary life you have is the true realization of a person's life.
