C68 (1/2)

The night passed without a word from Dr. Song. I walked to the fire and roasted my hands. The spring night on the mountain was as cold as winter.

Dr. Song said that when I first saw him, I had an evil smile on my face, and I clearly remember that I passed out from Du Xiang's attack.

Then who was he? Ling Xuan said, if I am the Heaven's End, then is this me now, Tian Jue or Tian Xie? One body belongs to two people. I don't believe that he is different from me, that he doesn't want to expel the other! However, every time I lost consciousness, he would come out. In fact, he had saved me twice, but even if he had, he was only saving himself, not me at all. Since he had his own will, what was he planning to do about us living together?

After Grandpa Sun found out that I had two appearances, he crazily left. He must have known something, but why didn't he tell me? Could it be that it was simply because he didn't have enough time to tell me? There was a secret behind these two things. Or rather, it could be said to be the truth!

While I was unconscious, I vaguely remember a blood-soaked man appearing in my consciousness and saying that he was me. Could it be that that man was the other me? Looking at his strange appearance, he should be Tian Xie, right? In that case, I am Tian Jue! Heaven's End, Heaven's End. Heaven wants you to die, can you resist?

Fighting against the heavens and life, should I still be alive? The choice made in the Valley of Abyss, was right, was wrong …

At dawn, when the first rays of the morning sun shone on Dr. Song's face, his eyes, which had not been closed all night, trembled.

”When are you leaving?”

I turned my head to look at him and calmly said, ”If possible, I want to stay for as long as possible. One more day won't benefit any of you. The only thing that will benefit you will be disaster.”

”Can you promise me a request after you recover?”

Doctor Song was a mighty man, but when I looked at him now, he was hunched over like an old man, weak and frail. Recalling how his family had treated me so well in the past few months, the warmth that they gave me, my heart trembled, for the first time in my life, I nodded my head in agreement without listening to a request.

”I want to have a look at your world!”

”Our world?” I was startled, but I still felt a sense of loss. Perhaps, I have never known that world before.

”I can't promise you right away. I can only promise you that when I see the world clearly, I will let you see it.”

Doctor Song nodded his head, carrying the basket and saying in a hoarse voice, ”Let's go. Once we reach the top of the mountain, we should have the herbs that you need …”

Looking at his staggering back, I felt a little guilty. I really didn't want to disturb Doctor Song's life, but, yes or no, everything was up to me.

On top of the mountain, the cold wind was even stronger. It was indeed difficult for my small and frail body. I drank a few mouthfuls of the strong wine that Doctor Song passed to me.

As far as the eye could see, apart from the crushed stones and weeds, there was nothing else at the top of the mountain.

”I've never seen the Cloud Gauze Grass you're talking about before. I came here to gather a bunch of herbs the other day and accidentally discovered a plant full of spirituality. I didn't expect this to be the case on the top of the mountain …”

I do not doubt Doctor Song's words, nor do I need to doubt him, I am just wondering, although I cannot feel the density of the spiritual energy here, this mountain is not too high, it is not suitable for the growth of spiritual herbs. Furthermore, Doctor Song has been collecting herbs for many years, although he has not been here for a very long time, but he discovered some Cloud Gauze Grass a while ago. Or am I thinking too much?

”Forget it, let's take a look. Maybe we'll find one or two Spirit Grasses.”

It was almost nightfall. Doctor Song took me down the mountain and returned to the cave where we had hidden ourselves from the cold the night before. There was no place for us to rest on the mountaintop.

”I didn't find any other spiritual herbs. Looks like the Cloud Gauze Grass I found is the only spiritual herb on this mountain. Unfortunately, it's poisonous …”

I didn't say anything, nor did I show any disappointment. I just hugged myself and looked out at the wailing wind, thinking about the way out.

My body is getting weaker and weaker. Although I look no different from a normal person, I know that I can't absorb spiritual energy. My body will only age faster than a normal person's, unless I take a medicine that contains a lot of spiritual energy every day. Doctor Song's family isn't very wealthy. How long can you keep searching for valuable spiritual items like ginseng, lingzhi, for me every day?

Looking at the few Cloud leaves in Doctor Song's basket, I grit my teeth. I have to live or die. To live in such a helpless and lowly manner, I cannot bear this kind of pain!

Slowly getting up, I walked over and took out a few Cloud Gauze Grass from Doctor Song's basket. There were only five stalks in total, and three stalks were in a relatively fresh color. It seemed that they weren't very old, while the other two stalks were slightly older. One look was enough to tell that they had accumulated a certain amount of time.

This Spirit Grass would not wither with the seasons. It would only become more intelligent with the accumulation of time. These two old Cloud Gauze Grass definitely contained a lot of Spiritual Energy, but at the same time, the poison was also not low.

After seeing me take out the Cloud Gauze Grass for a closer look, although Doctor Song didn't know much about cultivation, he managed to guess a few things. He looked at me worriedly.

”You've told me before, this Cloud Gauze Grass is extremely poisonous, you won't …”

”Brother Song!”

I looked up at him. ”This, this is our world!”
