Chapter 371: The sun is waning
(a)
When Liu Shen's new dynasty is about to erupt like the sun in the east, your body is like the day in the west, and it is getting worse and worse.
Throughout the autumn, you could only be stationed in the large camp on the northern front, and you could command the battle on both fronts in the center. You don't have the stamina to reach the steppes in the north, nor do you have the stamina to return to the front line in the south.
Dr. Li, who was by your side during that time, was later called by Liu Shen to serve in the Tai Hospital. I have seen him several times since you died.
He admires you a lot.
He said: "The minister has practiced medicine for many years, and he has seen many people face pain, but it is rare to see such a calm and calm person as the general. He never needed the comfort of others in that pain, and in turn, he was able to comfort and encourage others. ”
Doctor Li told me one thing:
At one point, you were so dizzy in a headache that you completely lost your sense of space and direction.
At that time, Sun Haocheng and Yang Biao's troops were in a fierce battle, and battle reports were constantly sent to your big tent. You can't read the battle report, Xie Shuangcheng will read the battle report to you on the side.
You are in the midst of a lightning-pounding headache, and while listening to him read the battle report, you vomit violently, and even vomit blood.
Xie Shuangcheng read the battle report with a trembling voice while watching you vomit blood.
He reads, pauses, and looks at you.
He read incoherently, made mistakes, and burst into tears.
You can't help but open your eyes and look at him as he says this.
You see him follow the world around him, speeding around you like a meteor.
You restrain the feeling of throwing up again. You clung to the edge of the bed, resisting weightlessness palpitations.
You are in a cold sweat and you look at him.
You say, "Read it well." I can listen. You're a military man. ”
Xie Shuangcheng suddenly lost his voice. He stood there for a while, then began to read aloud normally.
Imperial Physician Li said that that time, when you were completely unable to judge your spatial position, you judged the situation of the Han army on the battlefield and carried out effective command and dispatch.
He said, "What a calm mind and what a great self-control it takes." ”
(b)
With the advent of winter, Dr. Li's acupuncture gradually lost its effectiveness.
After the winter solstice, there is another severe pain that lasts for more than 70 hours, and once again you are in pain to the point of heart failure and your condition is critical.
In a hurry, Wu Shun used up all the last remaining pills sent by his master when he left Jinfeng Village, and when he was desperate and helpless, a surprise fell from the sky.
Your master, Dao Ji, actually took three or five disciples to serve the children with a clear heart, like timely rain, and rushed all the way from Qingchuan to the army. After Wu Shun heard the news, he rushed to the camp gate to kneel to welcome the arrival of the grandmaster. Seeing Daoji's familiar figure appear in front of the camp gate, Wu Shun couldn't help but cry with joy!
As soon as Dao Ji arrived at the barracks, without gossiping, he went straight to your camp tent to inspect your situation, first stabilized your heart with the newly brought Mixed Yuan Pill, and then, together with Imperial Physician Li, exhausted what he had learned all his life, and after several attempts, he finally controlled the inhuman pain again and saved your life.
In the process of healing you, Dao Ji once again used the True Yuan Qi that he had cultivated all his life, and he reduced his lifespan in exchange for the extension of your lifespan and alleviated your pain.
(c)
When you come to your senses, you see Daoji.
Several years have passed since Qingchuan said goodbye in a hurry. So many things have happened in the meantime, things are wrong and people are wrong, and when you meet again between master and apprentice, your hearts are full of emotion.
At this moment, you are no longer the same person who returned home from Qingchuan for the first time.
Dao Ji looked at your weakness and haggardness, remembering your radiant appearance in the past, Rao is an outsider, and his heart is inevitably sad.
You look at Daoji, you don't have the strength to sit up.
Weakly and intermittently, you say, "I didn't expect to see Master again." I am ashamed that the tired master has traveled thousands of miles again and again, working hard to save people. ”
Dao Ji said: "When you left Qingchuan, we parted in front of the mountain gate, and the master told you that our master and apprentice will meet in the future. The day of the meeting that Master spoke of was at this moment, this situation. ”
Dao Ji said, "Master knows what is going on with you at the moment. You did very well. Both your ancestor and your father will be proud of you. Master is here to help you one last time. ”
You said weakly: "I will never go back to Qingchuan again, and I will never see my ancestor and my brothers again." I miss them so much. ”
Dao Ji said: "The ancestor has been immortal for more than half a year. He died peacefully and without illness. Before he died, he also remembered you, saying that he was not only alive in Qingchuan before, but also lived in you, and in the future, he will only continue to live on you. ”
Your lips twitch, and your heart pangs with sadness.
You say, "The disciples are not filial, and they have not been able to see off the master, nor have they been able to support the sect and assist the master." ”
Dao Ji said: "You have done so much to restore the peace of the world, all of them are supporting the sect and assisting the master, all of them are continuing the Tao and life of the master." ”
Dao Ji said: "The brothers and sisters of Qingchuan all miss you very much, they will all remember you, and they are all waiting for the good news to end the war every day. ”
You listen to Daoji's voice, your face turns blue, you close your eyes, and you don't have the strength to speak anymore.
(iv)
After Dao Ji once again had a heart-to-heart with you and came uninvited, he stayed in the army for a month.
Because of the frequent consumption of true yuan and the protection of your precarious heart, his black hair on his head became a little gray in dozens of days.
Under the care and care of Dao Ji, Dr. Li and other medical officers, you slowly recovered from your dying.
When you are awake for a longer time and have a little strength to speak, you will understand what kind of method Dao Ji is using to save you. You categorically disagree with him doing it again.
Dao Ji told you that there is really no other way to help you without this method, and if the disease continues to develop, even if it is this method, I am afraid that it will not be able to help you anymore.
Because you have been working hard for a long time, and the consumption of the disease is too much, the heart and blood vessels in the brain have been irreversibly damaged, and they remain fragile, and the next ferocious attack, you are likely to have no way to carry it anymore, and you will die of heart failure, or die of internal brain hemorrhage.
And when the next ferocious attack will begin, no one knows.
You listen, and there is a moment of silence.
You say with regret, "It's too fast." I've used it as fast as I can, and I haven't missed a minute, but it's still not as fast as it. ”
You say, "It's a pity. If you don't see the end of the war, you will die, and you will not be able to avenge Qin'er's father. ”
Dao Ji comforted you and said, "Jinglong, you have done so much. Now, on the basis of the world pattern you have laid, it is only a matter of time before the war stops. Now, there is no one who can stop the army you have built from leveling the forces of all sides, unifying the world, and achieving total peace. ”
You say, "I want to see the day when the new dynasty is established, the day when the king of Han ascends the throne and becomes emperor." ”
Daoji said: "Everyone in the world will remember you." King Han will remember you, too. Without you, there would be no new dynasty of peace. ”
You are silent.
Your master and apprentice were silent for a while.
After a long time, you started again and said, "Master, go back." This is a former enemy, and it's too dangerous. For the sake of the sect, Master, you should not be in such a dangerous situation at the same time. The war will always end, the Taiping will always come, and the martial arts of the sect, although it has gone through vicissitudes, will also be updated and continue to be carried forward. The disciple is not good, his life is about to end, and he can not continue the glory of the sect, and in the future, the inheritance of the sect will have to work hard for the master to train the new disciples, and choose the head of the sect to inherit. ”
Dao Ji sighed and said, "Don't you want Master to accompany you here for the last journey?" Master thinks, "Your parents must have expected this from you." ”
You shake your head. You say, "A master-apprentice game is also a victory." The disciple is still alive to say goodbye to the master. I don't want the last memory left for Master to be cold and pale. ”
You said: "Qingchuan has been more than ten years, our master and apprentice are like father and son, and the disciple really doesn't want the master to watch me turn into a corpse." I don't care about one person. When death is approaching, although the master is a person outside the party, life and death are indifferent, however, witnessing this situation is not a pleasant thing after all. I don't want to consume your true essence any longer, Master, and increase your inner pain, Master. If we go alone, we masters and apprentices will be more at ease with each other. ”
When Dao Ji heard what you said, he said, "Good boy. If you are so thorough and calm, Master believes that you will be able to make the last journey. So, we master and apprentice, let's say goodbye forever. Master will leave for Qingchuan tomorrow and will not be there, which will increase the reluctance and emotional uneasiness in your heart. You can be calmer more easily. ”
You nodded.
Your master and apprentice's hands are clasped tightly together.
You say, "The fate of this life is over, and the kindness of the sect, the ancestor and the master's nurturing and teaching, disciple, can only be repaid in the next life." ”
Dao Ji said: "You have been fighting for the peace of the world all your life, and this is the best reward for the sect, the ancestor, and the master." The spirit of the sect is to live to benefit the people of the world, to die to benefit the people of the world, and to fight to benefit the people of the world. In your life, day and night, all the time, you have done the spirit of the sect by yourself. This is the best reward for the sect. ”

The next day, Dao Ji left the army and embarked on the return journey.
After Daoji left, you summoned Dr. Li. You said to him, "It's been hard for you. Thank you so much. Now, it's no use for you to stay with me any longer. Go where you are needed more. Go and save those who can still be saved. ”
You say, "I will write a letter to King Han and tell him that your mission has been accomplished." ”
Dr. Li felt very sad. He knelt down and choked up and said, "General, the grass people are incompetent and have failed to fulfill their responsibilities as healers. ”
You look at him. You smile warmly.
You say, "Doctors can only cure the sick, not the dead." You've done your duty. ”
You say, "It's okay. Go back in peace. Without the help of doctors, I could have died on my own. ”
Later, Imperial Physician Li said to me that he will always remember the warm smile you had before you said goodbye. He hoped that before he died, he could have such a warm smile and such a peaceful and fearless heart.
