458. Final Goodbye
From here all the way up, through the dim light of the cave, there is no edge to be seen.
As for what is at the end of the highest platform, I can't be sure yet, but I always feel as if something is calling to me in the dark, and I have had this feeling before when I entered this place in another world, but I didn't go any further.
This time, when this road reappeared, I even had a feeling that I couldn't hold back my heart, but now after all, there are more important things with these two people behind me, and time is pressing, so I can't waste more time here, so I don't want to continue to walk this road full of stone steps.
At this time, the old patriarch stepped forward, looked at the steps in front of him with a solemn expression, and said in a deep voice: "You should know who is buried here." ”
I nodded slightly, and didn't say anything more, after all, there are some words that can only be understood but not spoken.
The old patriarch saw that I didn't speak, but he understood, what did this mean? He already had something to do, and his serious expression became a lot more nervous, so he walked straight to the front of the steps, gently stroked the dust on the steps, and after a while, straightened his clothes again, and respectfully kowtowed to the stone steps, and at the same time recited a spell, which was not a death spell, but a spell similar to asking the gods.
I don't know why the old patriarch did this, but what is certain is that he must have been performing some kind of ritual, which was not offensive or dangerous, as it was to be done now
What he is doing now doesn't really mean anything, it's more like a ritual, a kind of respect for the previous sages.
It's like we worship God, even though there is a god in the head, who has ever seen a real god?
In fact, the ancients said that there are gods in the head, hoping that the world will have a sense of awe, and not always think about some messy things in their hearts, or even harm others.
Of course, now is not the time to think about this, I just watched the old patriarch hold some of his mysterious rituals there, and Qu Yanyun on the side also fell into contemplation, he frowned slightly, didn't say anything, just kept looking at the old patriarch quietly.
After about ten minutes, the old patriarch over there seemed to be busy, he turned his head, there was a sense of relief, and his expression became a little solemn, but he still said to us softly: "Okay, I will also visit the shrine when it is time to worship, this time it is also worth the trip, where to go next, you will continue to lead the way." ”
Let Lao Zhu Shang's words, I nodded first and didn't say anything, but after getting along for a while, I feel that he is not a bad person, because there are too many secrets in it, but the old patriarch did not choose to contact those secrets along the way, and even to get back the treasures that originally belonged to their Li family, but he has been following us all the time.
On the other side, there are relatively many stoppages on the road, but it is still in the deep mountains, but it is getting higher and higher, which is no different from entering the Li family's immortal tomb before.
In this process, Qu Yanyun has been holding my arm, this little girl is obviously nervous, her fingers are trembling slightly, and there is also a trace of reluctance in this expression.
Because she understands that the more you go inside, it means that the time for us to separate will come, and it is impossible for me to stay here all the time, although I don't belong to this world, but these days after all, get along day and night, and the cold is separated, she will indeed be very reluctant, and I am also a little sad.
But each of us has our own tasks to do, and this is our own life, ruthless, but full of warmth, at least for now, we are still by our own side, able to see each other.
Walking further down, the surrounding road has been relatively flat, and the ground is all paved with bluestone slabs, walking on this familiar road, I was full of emotion for a while, and the Li family patriarch behind seemed to know that the two of us had a lot to say, so he deliberately slowed down, about a few dozen meters away from us, and looked at us from afar, if there was any danger in the future, she would come forward.
Looking at the old patriarch's expression, I also sighed in my heart, she is also the patriarch of the Li family, how understanding she is in this world.
The patriarch of the Li family in another world is a businessman.
Of course, we don't have the right to criticize a person's right or wrong, after all, it's all for the sake of the family, even if it's a little selfish, it's okay.
At this time, Qu Yanyun also realized that the old patriarch was far away from us, and it was time to say some final words, because the light curtain made of water ripples was in front of us, and I remember that the last time, after I walked in from here, I had already arrived in another world.
Although it is not the world we want to go to, we should also be able to see the two old immortals, as long as I see them, I can figure out if I can go back, but my intuition tells me that this time it will definitely succeed, so this is our last chance.
So I looked at Qu Yanyun in front of me, and I didn't know what to say for a while, and I also had mixed feelings in my heart.
These days, I have completely regarded her as my closest person, and I am about to leave coldly, and I am really a little reluctant in my heart, although there is Qu Yanyun in another world, but the two of them are not the same person after all.
After a while, I still couldn't say anything, because in this place, if you talk too much, when Sun Xiaohe from another world comes back again, it is very likely to affect the relationship between them.
If that happens, it will be unacceptable, so I put up with it.
Qu Yanyun's eyes also moved slightly, she had a lot of things to say to me, but looking at my body, and in the end, she just lowered her head and didn't say anything, maybe sometimes silence does not mean ruthlessness, it is the embodiment of affection.
I sighed slightly, just turned around and walked inside, this is the end of the story of this world, after all, everyone has their own life, I hope that there will be no impact on this world after I go back, only the less words I say, the impact can be minimized.
Qu Yanyun has naturally had a tacit understanding with me for so many years, although neither of us said a word, but everyone tacitly understood each other, and the old patriarch did not follow behind, because from here on, it is my own road!
