It's pain!

Immortality has always been regarded as the most desired ability of people, especially the kings of various countries, and the amount of money spent on refining the elixir every year is an unimaginable amount, which also indirectly promotes the profession of alchemist to be so popular on the mainland.

But perhaps only those who have experienced eternal life can experience the pain of eternal life!

The Hell Road is a kind of eternal life to a certain extent, and Ishikawa has walked here for more than 500 years, and unlike the physical suffering, the mental torture is perhaps the most unbearable.

The most painful and regretful memories have lingered in my mind for 500 years, from the beginning to the present, I have tormented Ishikawa for a lifetime, and may be tortured for another 100, 1,000, or even 10,000 years in the future......

What's even more tragic is that this painful memory is known only to Ishikawa in the world.

He was the only one who resisted this tragic memory, and the five of them shared it, and there was nowhere to complain.

"If you don't mind...... Tell me your story!"

He Xuansheng felt the depression clearly, but when he saw Ishikawa's surprised gaze, his face was also slightly hot, he scratched the back of his head, and said sideways, "Oh, I'm ...... I just want to hear it, there's nothing to do anyway...... Oops, forget it if you don't want to!"

Ishikawa was stunned for about five seconds, and then a knowing smile appeared on his face.

Five hundred years old, this is the first being willing to listen to its own story......

Many times if you are surprised in your heart, if five people confide, you may really hold back the problem.

Ishikawa has basically adapted to this road, accustomed to this life of walking alone, used to not being hungry or thirsty, used to walking forward occasionally and backwards, and used to talking to himself every day......

But talking to oneself can't relieve the depression in my heart after all!

"This matter has to start from that time......

............

The two of them sat on the ground with their backs to the cliff, one looking up at the sky, the other looking down at the ground, one talking, the other listening.

Ishikawa's story is very long, and it took more than an hour to talk about it, and the whole story line slowly unfolded in He Xuansheng's mind.

Sadness, apart from this word, He Xuansheng couldn't find any other words to describe it in his heart.

For 500 years, Ishikawa has never forgotten what he regretted for the rest of his life, and the remorse and self-blame in his heart have not dissipated with the passage of time.

"Have you tried to ...... Forget about it?"

He Xuansheng took out a chopstick from the spirit ring, lowered his head and drew one pattern after another on the ground, and asked softly.

"Forget this?"

Ishikawa was stunned and said, "This is the punishment of the gods, how can I forget this?"

"Everyone changes, and I don't believe the gods can make a person do the same thing endlessly, but it just needs some turnaround!"

He Xuansheng raised his head and said, "Brother Shi's suffering, I believe that the gods are all in their eyes, maybe what the gods are waiting for is not your remorse and self-blame, but the liberation of the heart!"

"It's been more than five hundred years, and this punishment should be enough!"

"You mean, I'm going to learn...... Put it down?"

Ishikawa's eyes were also a little more stunned.

Indeed, for more than 500 years, his heart has been filled with remorse, and he thinks that when his remorse reaches a certain level, he will be able to reincarnate again......

But that day never came, and even though Ishikawa's entire heart had been replaced by self-blame, the gods still ignored this inconspicuous man in the middle of hell.

Is it really their own liberation that the gods are waiting for?

"If you keep everything in your heart in this life and think that you will never forget it for the rest of your life, then you will also live a miserable life!"

"So I prefer a kind of liberation of the heart to the rest of my life in my heart than to keep it in my heart for the rest of my life......"

"You don't look very old, how can you have such an old-fashioned mind?"

Ishikawa touched He Xuansheng's shoulder with some surprise and said, "You...... You're not the embodiment of a god, so you're here to mention me!"

"Am I like a god?"

He Xuansheng felt speechless for a while, but he still chuckled and said, "You just treat me as a god, and then try to liberate me!"

Ishikawa's eyes were blank at first, then resolute.

Let go of the self-blame in your heart, truly free yourself, and release yourself......

"Thank you, the two of us met, maybe it's really a fate!"

Ishikawa stood up and patted the corner of his clothes, stretched out his hand to pull He Xuansheng up, and said with a smile, "I'll go first, you slowly come on!"

Saying that, Ishikawa ran forward, although it was just a back, He Xuansheng could clearly feel that Ishikawa's heart had undergone earth-shaking changes.

But Ishikawa is just a passerby in his life after all, and this test has to be completed by himself after all.

The underworld is still the underworld, and no matter how long you walk, the surrounding scene will not change in the slightest.

I met Ishikawa ten days ago, and I felt a little bit of fireworks for the first time in a long time.

Ten days later, he sat down on the edge of the cliff again, looking into the distance with his eyes more and more hollow.

He's really on the verge of collapse!

It has been ten full days since he met Ishikawa, and he has not met a ghost in ten days, and the long period of loneliness not only made He Xuansheng depressed, but by chance, He Xuansheng found that his mouth was not particularly bright.

The more time passes, the more He Xuansheng can feel the truth behind the fear on the faces of the two of them.

At this time, He Xuansheng was unkempt, although there was a steady stream of Santu River flowing next to him, but according to Xiaohong's statement, the Santu River was full of lonely souls and wild ghosts who could not be reincarnated, as long as he touched the Santu River, He Xuansheng might be dragged into the Santu River by those wild ghosts.

Because the existence here is neither hungry nor thirsty, all the water brought by He Xuansheng is only for washing, but the amount of water is limited, and on the fifth day, the kettle in his hand has become an empty bucket.

So in the remaining fifteen days, He Xuansheng did not wash his face or hair......

His hair was already stuck together in pieces, and the strands were oily, and he could pull out a new hairstyle with a casual stroke.

Xiaohong and Xiaobai also completely lost the leisure and elegance they had at the beginning, one was still lying on He Xuansheng's shoulder, and the other moved the small bed to the other shoulder because He Xuansheng's hair was too dirty.

has been walking for a full twenty days, and the road ahead is far away, and He Xuansheng has no clue about the specific assessment content of Hell Road.

Compared with the beginning now, in addition to the difference in image, the most important thing is that his mentality has also changed slightly under the torture of endless loneliness.

He's starting to get used to this lonely life.

If for this test, He Xuansheng's initial state of mind was excitement and curiosity, and then turned into a kind of lonely pain, aimless dazedness, and despair of not seeing the future......

But after being suppressed for a long time, He Xuansheng's heart finally ushered in a change.

I no longer feel endless pain about loneliness, but slowly, I began to get used to and even enjoy this life situation.

I remember that my master Shangguan Wenxiu once said to him, "The strong are always lonely!"

A person who really reaches the pinnacle of a certain field will experience a brief period of confusion in his heart, because he does not know where the next goal is.

Like a keen mountaineer, after reaching the highest mountain on the mainland, he may be lost because he can't see the challenges ahead......

To a certain extent, this is the loneliness of the strong.

Every strong person can endure loneliness, on the contrary, a person who can never endure loneliness may be the most suitable place for him......

After enduring more than 20 days of absolute loneliness, He Xuansheng slowly began to get used to this loneliness, and his mood was much more relaxed than at the beginning.

It is no wonder that before the departure, the two deans said that the results of this test would not have much impact in the short term, but in the long run, the help was extremely great.

Thinking of this, with a slight "click" sound, the space around He Xuansheng suddenly distorted, and it was restless for about a minute, and the space stabilized again, as if nothing had happened.

Just when He Xuansheng felt strange, the Santu River in front of him suddenly emitted a burst of "gurgling" bubbles, and not long after, with a loud wail, a huge figure came out of the Santu River, a slap on the bank, and even the surrounding space vibrate.

"What is this? Why does this look so scary than the Lonely Soul Monster?"

He Xuansheng swore that this face was the most terrifying face he had ever seen in his life, and even some of the ugly-looking demons were a little overshadowed by him.

As for how big this figure is, only the upper half of the body is exposed, but the height has reached a terrifying twenty meters, and the palm of a hand is even bigger, and even a little thumb is much thicker than He Xuansheng's whole person.

"You don't have to beat this guy to let me out, do you?"

Although he has not officially fought yet, looking at his huge body, He Xuansheng clearly knows that he and it are definitely not a first-level existence.

If I beat it for a long time, it may not bleed, but if it slaps me, I will definitely die!

............

Outside the venue, Xing Ji and Cang Qingmang were both guarding the door, and through special equipment, they could sense the dynamics of the students inside.

"This ...... Isn't this the highest-ranking being in the Three Ways River?"

The aura that suddenly appeared in his perception was very familiar to Xing Ji Fang.

At the beginning, he was facing the second-level existence in the Three Ways River, but this guy's aura was ...... It's not a little bit stronger than what I faced at the beginning!
