Chapter Seventy-Seven: Despair and Hope
"Tick, tick, tick." Water droplets continued to drip on the roof of the cave, and the convulsions of ancient sorrow became smaller and smaller.
He stared in amazement at the drops of water dripping from the top. There was a puddle in front of him.
His hands were itching, just now he frantically hammered the ground, hammering his hands into a bloody blur, but now his hands have gradually healed, leaving only a few very thin wounds, which are about to heal.
Gu Bei looked at the puddle in front of him in shock, these waters, full of vitality, the breath of life rushed to his face, after Gu Bei calmed down, he felt this breath.
This is the breath of the spring of life, Gu Bei will never admit it, the small puddle in front of him is all the spring of life, if it is bottled, it is enough to hold ten bottles, this is a huge wealth.
Gu Bei climbed to the puddle and quietly looked at the reflection in the water,
The self-confident and handsome appearance of the past is gone, and now he looks so decadent. The hair is unkempt and the face is withered.
"Me, what's going on?" Gu Bei looked at himself in the water in a daze, as if he was asking someone else, and as if he was asking himself.
"Is this the end of it?"
"What about your extraordinary, your legend? Gave up? ”
"Did this little difficulty break you? Did you just throw in the towel? Is this the end of it all? ”
"What else, the ability is gone, and I have lost the capital to stand on top of the world."
――
Gu Bei kept talking to himself, and in the reflection of the puddle, Gu Bei's eyes became deeper and deeper.
He lowered his proud head and buried his mouth in the puddle.
"Gollum, Gollum." Gu Bei's throat kept fluttering, and the fountain of life in the small puddle became less and less, and finally, the stones underneath were exposed.
Gu Bei lay on the ground, his fists clenched unconsciously, and he got up silently,
He didn't know how long he had passed out, here, he couldn't see the sun, here, there was only a faint fluorescence near the waterhole, Gu Bei stood up and patted the soil on his body.
"I can't die here, I'm going out." Gu Bei's face was sad or joyless, he took a step forward and walked forward.
Ahead, there was darkness, and there, he couldn't even see himself.
He walked forward step by step, and soon drowned in that darkness, Gu Bei had been in the dark world of Lao Wang, and it was desperate enough at that time.
Now, he was even more desperate, he walked blankly, step by step, with no end, and he glanced back, and the fluorescent pool was fading into obscurity.
Gu Bei didn't go back, he continued to walk forward, endlessly moving forward, his steps getting slower and slower, as if he was about to fall in the next moment.
There is no trace of the fluorescent pool, and the clothes of Gu Bei are gradually tattered.
His hair grew longer and his beard grew, and his life grew older. He feels like he's been gone for decades, hundreds of years,
This road is so long, so far, there is no end at all, and there is no hope in all directions.
Gu Bei fell, he was like a skeleton, and when he fell, he was about to disperse, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get up.
"Is this the end of it?" The gleam in Gu Bei's eyes gradually dissipated, and he closed his eyes in despair. He felt his body decay little by little, his skin, flesh, and internal organs crumbling little by little, and when he closed his eyes, he couldn't open them anymore.
In the end, Gu Bei was left with only a skeleton, and the two eyeballs fell from the skull, and then dissipated little by little, turning into smoke and dust.
The skeleton also collapsed little by little, and in the end, all that was left was a pile of ashes, ashes, and ancient ashes.
A gust of wind blew, and Gu Bei's ashes also dissipated.
Time stood still, and everything fell into darkness again.
――
Next to the fluorescent pool, a young man lay quietly, and the milky white liquid on the top of the cave dripped drop by drop, dripping on the face of the young man on the ground.
The young man on the ground slowly opened his eyes, his eyes were very desperate, and a faint fluorescence shot into his eyeballs, and the young man was stunned.
"Am I not rotten already? How could it be here. He hurriedly got up,
He is Gu Bei, he came to the fluorescent pool again, everything, as if he had returned to the starting point, he was lying in the same place again.
The small puddle of the spring of life is very smart under the fluorescence, and the permeable fragrance stimulates the ancient sorrow.
All this is not an illusion, so what exactly happened just now? Gu sadly sat on the ground.
Looking in the direction he left last time, "Do you want to go again?" Gu Bei asked himself silently.
Do you still have the courage to walk together, knowing that there is no end to the road ahead, knowing that there is no hope for ten years or a hundred years, and knowing that the road will be very lonely.
Does he still have the courage to go through it all over again and experience that pain again?
Gu Bei's answer was, no, he didn't have the courage to go again, so the fool went to hit the south wall.
He drank the fountain of life from the puddle and set out on the opposite path, walking in the darkness again.
He didn't look back, he kept walking forward, the pool of fluorescent pools fading behind him.
It was absolute darkness again, and Gu Bei walked in the darkness.
A long, long time passed, and Gu Bei fell again, did not get up again, his body rotted and dissipated, and he failed.
……
Next to the fluorescent pool, Gu Bei lay there again, dripping water on his face. He opened his eyes again, and he was dazed.
Another lonely journey, another devastating experience.
Gu Bei sat up and grabbed his hair fiercely, and his already unkempt hair became even more messy.
"What should I do? Do you want to continue? Gu Bei was dazed, quietly staring at the small puddle, silent for a long time. He stood up again.
"Is it because I drank the water of the Fountain of Life that I couldn't get out? I'm going to try, well, just give it a try. Gu Bei didn't drink the spring of life in the small puddle, and walked straight away, and the fluorescent pool gradually blurred behind him.
……
I don't know how long it took, Gu Bei lay back next to the fluorescent pool, this time, he didn't suffer much, he didn't drink the spring of life, he soon couldn't bear it anymore, and fell there.
"This, isn't it a pit person," Gu Bei was helpless, he didn't know how to leave, he sat there in silence, a little deflated.
"Since you can't get out desperately, let's use science to explain it." Gu Bei was silent for a while, and decided to continue his efforts,
"People don't walk in a straight line in the desert, but in a curve, and the first few times I may have been walking around the fluorescent pool.
People can also walk in absolute darkness, and I have to find the light source, if only the yin fire was still there. ”
Gu Bei scratched his hair, distressed,
"Wait, where did the fluorescence come from?" Gu Bei lay on the ground and pushed away the gravel on the ground, and among those gravel, a few pieces emitted a faint fluorescence, looking like broken jade.
The light source here should be this, Gu Bei became excited, rummaged around, and soon, he collected more than twenty pieces of broken jade.
"With these broken jades, they will definitely light my way forward!" Gu Bei's eyes were full of hope.
