Chapter 320: The Old Man and the Dark Shadow
It was too much for me to spend such a long night alone, and I don't know how those people spent hundreds of years.
I took a deep breath and tried to sense the psychology of the dark shadow, but the end result was nothing.
I thought I'd wait until dawn to look for it, but I had no idea of time and didn't know how long I had to wait, so I struggled to sit up from my bed.
And when I sat up, I still felt a faint pain in my stomach. I subconsciously touched my belly, but luckily I didn't feel any scars.
"I was disemboweled...... Now that I think about it, I have experienced the mountains of swords, the sea of fire, and the disembowelment, maybe I really don't have anything to be afraid of. “
I laughed at myself as I slowly got up.
At this point, I was like a blind person, and I could only perceive everything around me with my hands. I once saw a story about the perspective of a blind person.
Many people mistakenly think that when they close their eyes tightly, the darkness they can see is the perspective of a blind person, but the reality is that when you close only one eye, what you feel with the other eye is the perspective of a blind person.
It was just like me at this time, not just pitch black, but an emptiness and despair of not knowing anything.
I touched something underneath my body with both hands, and then I realized that I was lying on a bed.
I stood up and slowly groped my way outside, and after a few bumps on my head, I finally found the exit.
Compared to the inside of the house, the air outside is more sober, and it is more comfortable to breathe in the stomach, but when I walked out of the house, I suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of fear in my heart.
But at this moment, I felt a message from the black shadow in my heart, and although I couldn't clearly understand what the black shadow was thinking, I could roughly understand that he was near me at this time.
I moved slowly, but suddenly I heard a "knock knock" sound in my ears.
The voice was so familiar, it sounded like the old man he had seen during the day. Since the old man knew the shadow so well, I had the courage to walk towards the reassuring voice that came from me.
The ground under my feet was hard, much harder than the outside ground, and there were not too many stones, so I walked relatively smoothly this part of the way.
And just as I was getting closer to the voice, I heard the voice of a dark shadow in my ears.
I was ecstatic, and for me at this point, the shadow was my only support.
But just as I was about to call the Shadow's name, it suddenly stopped.
"He's almost time to wake up."
"That's right, it's only half a day to die in vain, and it's almost dawn for him to wake up."
"Dude, you are ruthless enough, you have tortured me like this for so many years, you know that I will definitely be able to get out."
"For you, this hell is just a space to enter and exit at will, but for me, it is a cage that I will never escape from in my life. Ever since I was abandoned by the Heavenly Realm, I have been exiled here for meritorious service, and I have guarded the last secret of the Heavenly Court......"
"Gotta get it, I'm tired of hearing what you say, if you want me to say it, you should leave this place, whoever loves to come will come anyway, with your ability, the heavenly realm can't help you."
The old man just smiled bitterly and didn't speak, and after a while, the old man suddenly spoke: "I remember that you kid seemed to have failed in the last tribulation, are you still sure of this reincarnation?" ”
"Last time I failed because I was soft-hearted, and I will definitely not be soft-hearted this time."
"You must have brought down the king of Yama? These ten halls of Yama have become a fixed order in the underworld, do you really think that you can trip him up by yourself? ”
"I don't know, but I can't watch Cui Yu being suppressed for hundreds of years and ignore it, and now I have finally found Cui Yu's descendant, and it just so happens that he is also the next life of my remnant soul."
"Sounds like you have high hopes for him."
The black shadow sighed softly and said, "Compared to the previous failures, I can say that I have done my best for his cultivation...... Now the road is about to be paved, so let's see if the kid can help me with this last step. ”
"Can he listen to you?"
The shadow sighed softly again.
"I don't know, but Cui Yu's grievances are unclear as soon as they become clear, and the descendants of their Cui family will not be able to escape the punishment of the underworld for a day, and for him to get a normal life, he must follow my path."
Listening to the conversation between the black shadow and the old man, my heart seemed to clear up a lot, and I tried to think back to my short life, and found that all my experiences seemed to have been predetermined.
I cried and laughed all my life, and it turned out that my fate would not be in my own hands. I had struggled to break free from the mud of the underworld, only to find myself in the middle of the maelstrom.
Everything began to become clearer, and I chose to retreat into the house, and when I lay back on the battered bed, it didn't take long for the shadow to enter the room.
At this time, the window had become brighter, and the dark shadow looked at me and smiled, "Awake?" ”
I nodded slightly, staring at the dark shadow in front of me, trying to forget everything I had just done.
The dark shadow can spy on the psyche, so I have now also practiced a divine skill, which is temporary forgetfulness. The dark shadow stared at me for a long time, he was clearly snooping.
"Where is this?"
The black shadow was stunned for a moment, and then smiled at me, "Thatched cottage." ”
"Why am I here?"
He laughed and cried, and said, "Tell you the time, the rakshasa who guards the secret is the old man who is hoeing the ground outside, so you will naturally return to him when you wake up." ”
I slowly sat up from the bed, stared at the dark shadow, and said, "He's a rakshasa?" Then you have such a good relationship, can we ......?"
The black shadow shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "He is a very good person, if you want to leave here, you have to pass him first, I have no privilege." ”
With that, the shadow and I walked out of the room, and the old man stood in the clearing, his hoe in his hand, and landed on the ground with a hoe in his hand.
He seemed to be doing this kind of work day and night, as if he were tireless.
After the shadow greeted him familiarly, we walked again towards the statue at the bottom of the mountain.
After this experience, I was less nervous when facing the beast, but the shadow and I still "died" a dozen times while fighting the beast before we barely found a breakthrough.
