This is a place from which there is no escape, there is a smell of death everywhere, and living now will only increase the pain, but why, why did he hesitate at this time?

With a little more force, he stabbed the dagger into it a little more, and he could vaguely feel a sensation coming up from his neck, and now he could be relieved with a little more force.

But he stopped, and at this juncture, he actually shed tears, he once thought that he should not cry anymore, but at this juncture, at this time, all kinds of emotions suddenly poured out of his mind, and tears burst the embankment all at once!

The pitch-black substance kept vomiting out of his mouth, but the water flowing from the eyesockets that had lost their eyeballs was extremely clear, extremely transparent...

When—

It was the sound of the dagger falling to the ground, and he had no idea what he had become, or how wicked he was.

But even so, he still remembered the agreement, the twenty-year agreement, which he had forgotten before, but when he wanted to end his life, it came to his mind again.

。。。。。。

"Twenty years. I'll go back and cultivate for another twenty years, and twenty years later, I'll still be in this place, and I'll be as strong as you when the time comes!"

Qian Xuan's confident and calm expression appeared in his mind again after four years, why did he cry? He couldn't suppress it, he really couldn't suppress it, he actually cried like a child...

。。。。。。

"Yi Xuan, do you say that there is the kind of person in this world who can solve all problems? No matter what the problem is, as long as it is strong enough to solve it at a certain stage, right? Whether it's betrayal or because of their own kindness. ”

"Yes!"

"Really?!"

"Do you think that there is really anything in this world that is impossible? There are definitely such people, but there is very little hope of existence. ”

"That's enough, even if it's very slim, I must chase it!"

Jidao smiled happily, at that time he didn't understand this so-called "hope", but now, the perception of this thing is naturally extremely profound!

He put aside suicidal thoughts for a while, and let go for a while. He gave himself a reason, not completely hopeless, wait until there is no hope at all...

。。。。。。

Seventh year.

His hearing is so weak that the screams in his ears are not as deafening as they were at the beginning, and it seems to be quiet today, but what he doesn't know is that this day of the year is also quiet, but his concept of time has gradually blurred.

He heard a footstep, a footstep in this silent place, as if someone was crouching outside his cage.

"Hey. You are the only one in this prison now, but unfortunately I have to stay behind today, but the man said that I can be reunited with my family tomorrow. ”

This is the voice of a middle-aged man, and it is a mortal, although he said this, but how can he not know that he has been here for seven years?

"Why is it so quiet today?"

Jidao's voice was hoarse and terrifying, like the extremely hoarse and ugly sound made by a thousand-year-old tree spirit, as strange as blocking his throat with a handful of sand. But the man wasn't too scared, but brought a bowl of something to Jidao.

"Don't you know what day it is?"

In the world of monks, only a festival is called a festival, and there is no fixed date.

"Today is Chinese New Year's Eve! Today is the day of reunion between all families and relatives under the sky!

The man looked extremely surprised, because not knowing Chinese New Year's Eve in the mortal world is really a cold joke that is not funny at all, because this is the most important day in the mortal world, the day of reunion.

"Except... Evening... ”

Ji Dao said the name slowly, and it was the first time he had heard the concept of this day.

"I can't help it. I have to stay here, but you're left alone. It's always strange to be alone on reunion night, so I'm here to find you. ”

The man pushed something to the feet of the pole, and the place where he was locked was not far from the outside of the cage.

It's wine...

Jidao also has some sense of smell, and I can vaguely tell that this is wine.

He didn't refuse, he directly picked up the porcelain bowl on the ground, and then drank the wine down. But there's no taste.,It seems that the most serious degradation is your own taste.,Drinking wine is no different from drinking water.。。。

"Hah-"

The man also finished drinking a bowl, and spoke again:

"Hey. There is no way to reunite with my wife and children on this day, and I can only talk to you. ”

He shook his head, also looking quite helpless.

"What does it feel like to have a home?"

He thought he had misheard, and he let out a sigh of surprise, and Jidao repeated it again before he continued.

"Hey. If I had the ability, I'd let you out and feel it for yourself. Home is very warm, how to say, that is, when you feel tired, when you feel cold, there is always a place where you can feel warm, safe, whether it is the environment or people, can you understand what I say?"

"Hmmm... ”

Does Jidao have a home? He doesn't have a home, and it can even be said that he didn't have the concept of home at all before, and he has been practicing with Qianxuan everywhere, and he has long been vague about what the concept of home is.

And now at this time, I don't know why. He suddenly wanted to know something like this, maybe it would be comforting to him, maybe there was some other reason.

"Actually, I admire you very much! Being able to persist in such a place, I am numb to the screams every day. I heard my grandfather say that sometimes, hope is not given by others, but created by oneself. I think you have the power to survive because of this, it's amazing!"

Gokudo was silent, he was silent for a long time, and it was only later that he began to continue talking to men.

It was his first conversation here.

The next day, he never saw the man again, but at the same time, the dagger that had kept him hidden disappeared the next day...
