After the war between heaven and man, Zhang Hazi became completely blind. I traveled with him all over the world and found the best doctors for treatment, but in the end I was helpless. From then on, Zhang Hazi stopped fussing and stayed at home in Lao Sicheng or my house with peace of mind.
During that time, Zhang Hazi and I discussed whether my grandparents' attempts to conceal the truth were of any use. Because in my opinion, I haven't changed at all, and I really can't see the effect of hiding the truth.
Later, I encountered some things (written about in the extra chapter), especially Ling Jiang's name appeared inexplicably on my grandfather's tombstone. Zhang Hazi deduced that I was just being 'hidden' from the sky. The 'crossing the sea' has not been completed, it is just a semi-finished product.
The real finished product should be the unborn child in Ling Jiang's belly, because his father and I are the semi-finished product of "hiding the truth from the sky", and his mother Ling Jiang floats away with the underground river in the bronze blood coffin. It can be regarded as a semi-finished product of 'crossing the sea', so he is the real one who has crossed the sea.
In other words, even if concealing the truth can really make people immortal, it is the child in Ling Jiang's belly, not me.
But Xie Chuanyin said that I would live forever, which made me doubt the credibility of what he said. Even with what he said before, I couldn't help but doubt it again.
I didn't deliberately hide these thoughts in my mind - after all, even if I hid them, Xie Chuanyin could still see through them, so after letting him see them openly, I still asked him silently in my heart about these contradictory things. , how is he going to explain?
Xie Chuanyin smiled and said, "There's nothing easy to explain. Over the years, your grandfather's temper has changed. Do you want me to explain it to you?" You are his only grandson, do you think he is willing to let you become a half-finished product?
I understand the truth, but five years have passed, and I haven't seen any other backup plans my grandfather left for me - oh, except for letting me come here to receive all the luck from your Xie family.
Xie Chuanyin laughed again and said, young people are too impatient to eat hot tofu. Your grandfather is known as the "Invincible Official", but no one can clearly see his ability to finish the job. Just wait and you will see a surprise.
Hearing what he said, it sounded like he knew some inside information, so I hurriedly asked, Senior, do you know some inside information? Can you reveal it in advance?
He said, I don't dare to talk about this kind of thing, the impact will be too great. Do you want me to have no family to support the Xie family?
Although I didn't get the answer I wanted to hear, I can finally be sure of one thing, that is, my grandfather still had a back-up plan, and the impact of this back-up plan was still huge.
And it can be inferred from Mr. Xie's confident attitude that this back-up plan should be successful - after all, it is related to the survival of their Xie family, and he should not be careless. And the fact that he is so confident means that there must be nothing wrong with the back-up force left by my grandfather.
It's just that he refused to say it. I couldn't guess it at all, so I simply stopped thinking about it. Instead, I told him, anyway, I told you in advance. I don't think I will live forever. It's up to you to think so. I will live forever, so you gave me luck. Don't blame me again when I die.
I think it’s better to make this statement clear to Xie Chuanyin in advance, so that when I meet him in another world a hundred years later, he will say that I didn’t keep my word.
Anyway, my situation has been explained now. It is you who still insists on transferring Qi to me. Even if I really die by then, you can't blame me.
When Mr. Xie Chuanyin heard what I said, he laughed happily. After a while, he stopped and said, you are a little kid, you are really good at avoiding responsibility. But don't worry, even if you really die, you won't be able to meet me, and no one will cause trouble for you.
I couldn't help but frown when I heard this and asked him, why can't I meet you? Aren’t we all going to the Land of Eternity? What if I die near the place of eternity where you are staying, and then meet you?
He said, little baby, do you think that I have done such a big thing against the will of heaven and will I be able to go to the land of eternity after death?
I had a bad premonition and asked hurriedly, where else could I go if I didn’t go to the Infernal Land?
He said that just like the one hundred and seven people in front of him, they were completely wiped out from this world.
"..."
I don't know how to describe my current mood. I just feel so overwhelmed that I don't know what to say for a moment.
They are obviously doing it for the sake of the craftsmen of the world, and for future generations. No one is selfish, but why are they still treated like this?
Xie Chuanyin comforted me and said, little baby, you are wrong just by thinking about it. You must have heard that God is also affectionate and old. It is said that God is most concerned about fairness and the cycle of cause and effect. He does not act emotionally at all. Otherwise, wouldn't this world be in chaos long ago?
Again, I understand the truth, but I can't accept it.
There was another silence in the cave, but Xie Chuanyin was the first to speak, saying, "Little baby, I don't have much time. Come here and I will pass on my luck to you."
I didn't move, but asked him, are you in such a hurry?
I know that after he passes his luck to me, he will follow in the footsteps of the 107 people before him, and I will inevitably feel a little unbearable. If possible, I even want to go out and see if I can find a way to bring Xie Liushang and Xie Bugui in so that they can see their families for the last time.
Xie Chuanyin said with a smile, "You are a loser. Although your surname is Luo, you don't have the courage of the Luo court at all?" If you really want to find a way to let others in, why would Zhang Hazi go outside to drink the northwest wind now? Besides, we haven’t seen each other for decades, why bother making them sad again?
I don't know what to do, because I know better than anyone else that the feeling of losing something immediately after getting it is more cruel than anything else.
But if we really don't meet each other, can you be willing to thank the old man?
He chuckled softly and said: "Maybe you will be willing to do so? When I was a teenager, I thought I would leave and take his mother with me. I grew up alone and thought of it. This is so heartbreaking. I have never seen that bastard before, and I don’t know what he looks like. Does he look like his father?
But, as long as I think about them living a good life outside, marrying wives and having children, living together as a family, and living according to their own ideas, I feel that my whole life is enough. Yes. "
There was a hint of sadness in Xie Chuanyin's chuckle, which reminded me of my grandfather. When he endured the pain to make himself a living corpse and suffocated himself to death, he must have thought like Xie Chuanyin, right?
In the minds of the older generation, they only care about the welfare of their children and grandchildren, and they don't care whether their life is miserable or not. When I think of Xie Chuanyin hiding in this darkness for fifty-five years and experiencing the sadness of loneliness and sadness, my eyes can't help but turn red.
The green flames ahead were still burning, and my body slowly floated up involuntarily, beyond the flames and towards the endless darkness. But I know that there is a light there that has not been extinguished for fifty-five years...
This light is called Xie Chuanyin.
