(God's perspective)
On the border between the West Sea and the Demon Kingdom, an old drunkard was walking drunkenly on the road leading to the West Sea, with an old man in white robe following behind him.
The drunken old man walked unsteadily, and he was worried that he would fall completely drunk if he was not careful.
After the old man in white robe left the ghost country, he found the drunkard old man in the demon country.
He followed the drunkard old man from the Demon Kingdom, which no longer had royal rule, all the way to the border of the Demon Kingdom.
As expected, the old drunkard raised his head and took another sip of wine before falling down.
The old man in white robe did not move, but he had expected that his identity would be exposed at this moment.
"What... (burp) people... come out... come out (burp) out!"
The old drunkard fell to the ground and hiccupped non-stop. He got up and leaned against a nearby tree.
The wine gourd at his waist was swaying because of the remaining wine. He picked up the wine gourd and poured it into his mouth.
The old man in white robe had no choice but to show up and approach the drunkard old man.
"Well... (hiccup) it's you..." The drunkard old man recognized the old man in white robes in front of him, "It's you... (hiccup), Taoist Guanyou!"
"You are still drinking..." The old man in white robe found hangover medicine from the medicine box on his waist.
The old drunkard kept burping. He saw the hand of the old man in white robe approaching with hangover medicine. He quickly waved away the hangover medicine.
"No need! I don't need it! (burp)"
The drunken old man stood up unsteadily, holding on to the tree, "You are old! You are finally old too."
"What if I say that there is no Taoist Guanyou in this world? Anyone in the world, no matter who they are, can become a Taoist Guanyou... Why are you unwilling to accept my help?" The white-robed old man Jian Shuhe stretched out his hand. Help the old drunkard.
"Don't bully the old man for being stupid! Don't look at the old man, he is soberer than anyone else. He knows better than anyone else...the pain of immortality! the despair of immortality! So I don't know how to use my feelings...I want to travel around the world. This is the only way. Only then will the old man forget time! Forget pain..." The drunkard old man pushed Jian Shuhe away.
"I understand the pain of immortality...but there is nothing we can do to stop it." As soon as Jian Shuhe finished speaking, the drunkard old man interrupted him.
"Stop? Yes, stop!! You... Guanyou Taoist are different... As long as you don't take any immortality elixir, or you can end your life by dismembering your body and burying it alive!" The drunkard old man said and took another sip of wine. He poured in fiercely, "And what about Lao Chan! Because of the curse! The body is immortal and immortal... Lao Chan has tried various methods of death... Impossible! Impossible! Why can't Lao Chan die!!"
The old drunkard suddenly roared, causing the surrounding trees to tremble.
Jian Shuhe listened to the drunken old man's complaints as usual.
After the drunken old man yelled, he bent over as if he had lost some purpose in life. "Think about those days...Think about why the old man was cursed like that..."
Jian Shuhe approached the drunkard old man again, "I have a way to die... Do you want to try it?"
This sentence gave the old drunkard a little hope.
"He has played for too long and gone too far... It's time to end..." Jian Shuhe took the old drunkard's wrist and diagnosed his pulse.
The drunken old man was bitten by those monsters that were neither fish nor humans, but there was no sign of poisoning... Is it because of the curse?
Only then did the drunkard old man realize that the Jian Shuhe in front of him was not an ordinary person.
"you……"
The old drunkard wanted to confirm his thoughts. He asked, but Jian Shuhe spoke before he could say all the words.
"You are right. I am just a ray of materialized soul, and the real me is still placed by him. After resurrecting from the dead many times, I understand that my awakening will bring greater disasters to the world. Jian Shuhe let go of the old drunkard's hand, "As long as I don't wake up, he will keep looking for a way to live forever without thinking about other things."
The old drunkard just snorted and took another sip from the wine gourd.
"The world hopes for immortality, but they will never understand that immortality brings pain. His choice of immortality was the stupid decision made by the two of us... As for you..."
Jian Shuhe looked at the old drunkard, who kept drinking. The last time I saw him was two hundred years ago.
"I think back then... When I found you two, I thought I had found someone who could accompany me to death... But I was wrong. He was so obsessed with pursuing eternal life..."
The old drunkard couldn't bear the drunkenness and fell down.
Jian Shuhe accidentally didn't hold him up, so the old drunkard had to lie down on the ground.
Jian Shuhe had no other choice. Now he needed the power of the drunkard old man to deal with the monsters in the West Sea... The three people who had gained eternal life were originally happy to meet, but they had different ideas and parted ways.
Just as Jian Shuhe was helping the drunkard old man to walk towards the village not far away, panicked screams came from the side.
Then a group of villagers ran over from the far side of the road.
The later the villagers came, the more blood they would have on their bodies.
"This is……"
A change that even Jian Shuhe could not predict appeared in front of him at this moment.
"Old man, run! We can't go any further here!" Ruo, a kind-hearted young man, stopped Jian Shuhe.
"Monster! Monster!!"
"Mother! Mother!!"
"ah!!!"
It was noisy and chaotic, and the old drunkard whom Shuhe was supporting was still snoring.
"When did it happen ahead? Why..."
"There is no time to explain. Old man, let me support the old man next to you. Let's go quickly!" The kind-hearted young man quickly pulled the drunkard old man on his back. He also pulled Jian Shuhe and walked quickly aside.
At this time, the monster that was neither human nor fish appeared from behind. The monster was three meters long and covered in blood.
Right in front of Jian Shuhe's eyes, the monster that was neither fish nor human quickly rushed towards the fleeing crowd.
Anyone touched by the monster here will be poisoned and fall down, and the fallen person will be picked up by its hands and put into its mouth, chewed with blood and then swallowed.
"How could..." That person has now done such a shameful thing...
Jian Shuhe couldn't bear to see the cruel truth, but the monster's size and speed would increase every time it ate a person.
The monster quickly attacked the slower-moving Jian Shuhe and the others.
"Good Samaritan, please leave quickly...ignore us old people." Jian Shuhe advised the kind-hearted young man to leave quickly.
But this young man was too kind, "How could I leave the elderly alone! I am the pillar of the village and I will definitely protect the safety of the elderly!"
Silly boy……
But in fact, the monster's hand is about to touch the kind-hearted young man.
Jian Shuhe pushed the young man away with all his strength. He thought he could avoid the attack, but who would have thought...
