Finale (Part II) A future in the dark

"Old Shen!"

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from my ear.

When I first heard it, I thought I was dreaming, but when I sat up like a corpse, I realized that I was back in the drugstore...... Or rather, I was in a pharmacy.

"Seven..... Shippo? ”

I looked at this familiar person, and I only felt that my brain was confused: "You...... Aren't you dead? ”

Qibao gave me a blank look, and scolded angrily: "Dog's ...... As soon as I woke up, I cursed Lao Tzu....... Lao Tzu recruited you? ”

"Wake up...... Am I sleeping? ”

I muttered, looking at the familiar bed in a daze, and felt that my brain still hurt terribly.

It is estimated that Qibao took me as a sleep, and urged me to let me go down to eat, and then ran downstairs in a hurry.

Sitting on the bed, I was confused for a moment, feeling that this situation was far more than I had imagined......

Did I dream it before or did I ...... Or is this reality my dream??

I thought about it with a sluggish face, but I didn't think about it in the end, until Chen Qiuyan ran upstairs and dragged me down to eat, and I was a little sober.

Actually, I figured it out.

Whether it's a dream or reality, as long as you can stay with everyone...... I'm willing to ...... even if it's a dream I just hope this dream can be made longer...... It's best never to wake up.......

"Holy shit."

Walking to the dining table and looking at these familiar people, I couldn't help but exclaim.

The old man, Qibao, Chang Longxiang, Miao Wuren, Chen Qiuyan, and the rat, these should be there.

"Freedom Division?! Raising nine lives?? My eyes widened, and I looked nervously at the man sitting at the table, and I couldn't help but shout, "Why are you here?!! ”

The old man was sitting next to the master of freedom, and when he heard me shouting, he glanced at me and asked very suspiciously, "What's wrong with you?" ”

He ..... He's ......."

With that, I covered my head, pulled over a chair and sat down.

In addition to the free master, He Xigong, Wenren Bodhisattva, also sat on the side, and there was another person who surprised me the most...... Damn nine lives!

Why did this turtle grandson come?!!

"I may have slept in a daze..... Feeling a bit amnesia......"

I rubbed my temples in a fake way, and casually found a reason to prevaricate, while eating with everyone, I tried my best to understand the situation from Qibao or Chen Qiuyan.

As it turned out, everything in my dreams didn't match reality.

The Shen family is still the Shen family, but the old man is not the only seedling, He Xigong is the old man's own brother, but because of some internal conflicts in the family, he was taken away from the Shen family by the old man's mother and took his mother's surname He.

As for Master Zizai, he and Yang Jiusheng are still mixed together, Yang Jiusheng is his only apprentice, and he has also become a monk who cultivates Buddhism.

According to Qibao, we only went to Hainan a few days ago to do a job and came back, it seems that we are dealing with some fish lurking at the bottom of the sea? I don't remember exactly, anyway....... I only have a vague impression that this time was very dangerous, and we were almost planted in the sea, and if it weren't for the fact that the free division happened to pass by and save us, the consequences would be unimaginable.

And Miao Wuren is still a friend of our Shen family, but he has never had a conflict with us, and their Miao family is also a family friend of our Shen family, I heard that he also has a grandson, and he has a good relationship with us, but he didn't come today.

The "Burial Sutra" that recorded the cultivation method of the flesh Gu was no longer called this name, but "The Burial Ghost Sutra".

This cultivation method was not found by Miao Wuren, but was accidentally found by the old man many years ago from an ancient relic of the Three Kingdoms period.

The origin of the rat does not match my memory, it was not picked up by us a few years ago, but ten years ago, when the old man went out to work, he accidentally met it, and then he came back with the old man......

In this world, there are no old religions, no old creatures, no ancients, everything seems to be stable and peaceful.

Not only that, but my physical body was completely changed.

Everything that has to do with the Immortal King...... Even those powers that have been tainted with ancient qi have completely disappeared from my physical body.

But I still have a physical body Gu in my body, this can be determined, but the physical body Gu doesn't seem to be as strong as before, and now I'm afraid that I have only reached the state of a true body, and I haven't even had a dull body, let alone the previous one.......

The stronger the contrast between reality and my memory, the greater the contrast, the more lucid I became.

It took me almost a meal to figure it out.

None of this is a dream, everything that happened in my memory is something that happened in this world not long ago.

It's just that because of the battle between the ancient gods and the will of the world, this world was ruined....... Fortunately, it has now been repaired and returned to the right track in the eyes of the will of the world.

It is only now that I understand why the will of the world is so strong in the eyes of the ancients.

It can evolve mountains and rivers at will, and can create all creatures at will......

Real history is made by it...... It seems that time too?

It doesn't affect the time in the deep sky and the sea of stars, but the time in this world is determined by it, I have looked at the calendar, and the current date is two years ago in my memory.

I remember very clearly, in my memory, the star gate was shattered, the black-robed king descended into the world, the ancient gods came across the deep sky and the sea of stars, and those terrifying creatures descended from the sky.......

It was July 30th, July 30, 1999, the same day as today, but now the time is in '97, which is indeed back to two years ago.......

"Hoo ......."

Sitting on the roof, I smoked a cigarette and looked at the starry sky, and I only felt that the world gave me a strange feeling, and I always felt that I was out of place here.

Is this really the world I used to know?

I asked myself, but no matter how much I thought about it, I couldn't get a definite answer.

Whether it is a familiar scene or a familiar person, it is the same as before, including the history I looked up in the books.

It's funny to think about.

I have always been swollen and fat, and I feel that my strength is great, so the burden is heavy, and the responsibility that should be borne must be borne, and those old creatures have to go up when they come.......

The result?

The world was not saved by us, on the contrary, it was the world itself that saved the world.

Thinking of this, I laughed self-deprecatingly and rubbed my face vigorously.

Everyone has forgotten the things in my memory, and I'm afraid that in this world, I can still remember these things...... I'm the only one......

That strong sense of loneliness made me feel uncomfortable in my heart, and no one would believe the things I had experienced, the things I remembered...... Even if they say they believe in their mouths, but what about their hearts?

Just as I was in a daze with my hair down, suddenly, a familiar object fell out of my jacket pocket and landed on the ground with a crisp sound.

It was a patina-covered piece of metalwork, the size of a jade pendant, with three petal-like patterns crossed by each other, and a crystal clear green jade inlaid in the middle.

On the jade, there are some words carved in a very vague incave.

After reading the content of those lines, I laughed, bent down to pick up this copper pendant, and there was nostalgia in my eyes, but more surprise.

I never imagined that the tokens left to me by the ancients would come back with me...... I didn't expect that behind this token there were a few words he sent me.

Putting it in the palm of my hand, I clasped my hands together and held my palms tightly, as if I couldn't sit still and lost my balance, my body kept shaking back and forth, and the mood that was quite uncomfortable before became a lot easier.

"At least you're still there...... You can prove that I'm not dreaming...... That's all real......."

I muttered to myself, a smile on my face, but that's when I figured it out.

Whether that memory is true or not, I don't have to tell anyone else.

Since the real world is still very good, everyone is here, and they are all living well......

The memories in my mind should be sealed up until they go to the grave.

I put the token given to me by the old man in my jacket pocket, patted it gently, and felt a lot more relieved.

The stars were shining in the sky, and looking up for a moment, I suddenly remembered the words that the old man had said to himself before he disappeared.

He must have said those words to me.......

He used to feel like me, the world was ....... Including this sea of stars....... There is darkness everywhere.......

It was the darkness that took over.

And those of us who yearn for light can't see the future, so we can only curl up under a little light and steal our lives.

But the ancients saw many things in the body of the will of the world, perhaps the memory of the will of the world, which was seen from the beginning of its birth.......

There is no light in the universe, and there is no corner of our world that can be illuminated by light, and things like flames seem to be non-existent.

Darkness is the origin of the universe and the most important ingredient in the deep sky and the sea of stars.

When I looked up, the sky was actually a dark curtain, and the stars were just a few dots on it.

But is it really darkness that prevails over light, and is it darkness that has the absolute upper hand?

I don't think so.

Because at this time, I can see not only the darkness, but also the bright starlight, and the lights of thousands of homes that I see everywhere in human civilization.......

"I see what you mean......."

As I spoke, I raised my hand and gently placed it on my heart, on the copper pendant closest to my heart.

It used to be darkness that prevailed over light, but now I see that it was light that prevailed.

The ancients said that this world, this universe, was once without light.

But darkness does not mean death, it also symbolizes the birth of life and light.

If there is no darkness, who knows that light is light?

When you look at the darkness, you will realize that people and trees are the same.

The more you yearn for the bright sunshine in the heights, the more your roots have to reach out to the dark underground.......

It is not God who says there is light, but there is light in this world.

Light is a part of life.

The reason why light can prevail today is nothing more than because more and more lives dare to face the darkness and dare to fight against it.

It's like the words engraved on the token that the ancients gave me.

...........

Even in the midst of the most terrifying dark abyss.

As long as there is light in the heart.

The darkness will fear you.
