I used my vitality to forcibly disperse the dead qi in Shi Guoqing's body, he snorted and opened his eyes.

The family hugged their heads and cried, looking at me with gratitude in their eyes, and Sissi, who was already very watery, knelt down: "Thank you, uncle." ”

I frowned. Stretching out his hand to help him up, he said, "You can come to see me more often, which is the greatest thanks." ”

Sissi raised her head and looked at my old face, but it was a secret pain in my heart, although the uncle at the beginning, although indifferent, but there was a smell of dust, and now he has also entered the twilight years, the years, it is really a waste of everything.

"Don't worry, uncle, I will definitely come in the future!"

Sissi assured me.

Shi Guoqing was quit drinking. This illness also had a lot to do with his drinking, and the family muttered and left with joy.

During the Spring Festival of the coming year, they came as promised, and Shi Guoqing's eyes were shining, and he seemed to have to take out a pot of wine as if he was a thief.

"Dad!"

Sissi, who was already engaged, slapped the table.

"I'm drinking with your uncle, can't I make it?"

With a little pleading.

Sissi hesitated a little, looked at me, and agreed.

I was drinking with Shi Guoqing, and he looked at the crow's feet in the corners of my eyes and asked, "It turns out that you will also be old, big brother." ”

I smiled softly: "Birth, old age, sickness and death, no one can escape." ”

Shi Guoqing laughed. Not knowing whether he was laughing at me or himself, he took a drink, then got up and pulled open the old cabinet. Finding that it was full of yellow and wrinkled banknotes because of moisture, he applauded and said, "I know, big brother, you definitely didn't use this money." ”

It's not useless, it's just that I spend very little.

A few days later, they left again, and when Sissi got married, she sent me an invitation, but I couldn't go because I couldn't leave the old town.

Later, she had a child and came with her husband. I looked at his husband. Wearing glasses, he is an online writer of supernatural novels, although he is not handsome, but he is a very good person, and I also gave him a jade pendant and asked him to treat Sissi well.

He asked me with some curiosity at night: "Uncle Xu, I heard Sissi say that you must have a lot of stories on you, I don't know if you can tell them to me, maybe I can adapt it into a novel, and then it will become popular." ”

He rubbed his hands together, a little embarrassed.

But I refused with a smile, there are some secrets that are destined not to be shared with others.

The video store is still open, but the years have changed, once the most first-class equipment, but now it has become an old audio, many people are nostalgic, come to the door to buy, see the owner is really as rumored, is an old man, so they all nodded secretly, such an old audio is more age-thick.

I only have one left, and the rest have already been sold.

With the society, I have long been derailed, Li Zongsheng sang for 30 years, after all, he disappeared in the ancient town, because the old stereo was broken, I thought about buying one again, but looking at those trendy and advanced products, I felt at a loss.

I rarely feel that way, because I don't like it, so I give up.

In the twelfth year, Sissi came here again with Shi Guoqing, compared to me, he is even older, once a big fat man, now thin into a firewood stick, Sissi's eyes are full of hope: "Uncle Xu, my dad is not good again." ”

My hand pressed on Shi Guoqing's veins, but he shook his head, in the past, he was sick, and I was able to use my vitality to hang for him, but now, it is Shou Yuan, this is the limit, no one can change it.

Shi Guoqing gasped, and said with a smile: "Girl, don't be difficult for your Uncle Xu, I can't do it, I know it myself." ”

Sissi hid her face and cried, I don't know how to persuade her, because I also feel a little guilty in my heart, but birth, old age, sickness and death are the unchangeable laws of this world, Shi Guoqing did not die in an accident, but died at the end of his life, this is euthanasia, in the next life, he will definitely be able to cast a good baby. Adua has a carry.

That night, he forced Sissi to buy wine, and Shi Guoqing had tears in his eyes: "Big brother, I don't want to die, I haven't seen my grandson grow up and get married, and I haven't lived enough...... I don't want to die, I'm afraid that if I die, there will be no one to drink with you anymore...... Maybe you don't know, in fact, I don't have any friends, my original friends are all dead, what I look forward to the most is to get together with you every year...... Big Brother ......"

He drank wine, took a sip of it in his mouth, and before he swallowed it, he fell to the ground softly.

His body grew cold and silent.

Sissi, who was hiding at the top of the stairs, covered her mouth, tears like beads with broken threads.

I saw a soul in Shi Guoqing's body come out, he looked around blankly, there was panic in his eyes, but after seeing me, the panic was dispelled, he waved at me and walked out of the door.

I recited the scriptures, and I went beyond him and with the help of the scriptures, he will be rich and prosperous in the next life.

Only, can there be an afterlife?

I do not know.

Whether this is an illusion or an actual existence, I have lived in this Shuhe Ancient Town for thirty years, and most of the time I even forgot that I am a cultivator, and I regard myself as a mortal, but in the deepest part of my heart, I feel that I am still different from them, and I have not forgotten those things in the depths of my memory, but I don't want to think about it.

But at this moment, looking at the reincarnation of Shi Guoqing, I am confused, if all this is true, what should I do?

I haven't been out for thirty years, can I still get out?

I smiled bitterly, and the laughter gradually amplified, and the grief and indignation were combined with the cold wind, and it was in this laughter that the snow fell again.

After another three years, Chen Lan also died.

Sissi was also sad, but she had already experienced it, and she was much stronger, and she told me that my parents were gone, and I was her father, and she would always serve me for the rest of my life.

"The end of the old ......" I laughed miserably, it turned out that I was also old.

Maybe this is what should have been my life.

At this moment, I finally threw everything away and stood at the door, facing the cold wind, many pedestrians were uneasy, and an old man looked quite desolate against the heavy snow.

But in fact, I am not cold, every time it snows before, I will be cold, but this time, I am not cold, because my heart is warm, I looked at the pouring snowflakes and muttered.

"Thirty-three years, I have seen the birth, old age, sickness and death of countless people, from nothing to something, from existence to nothing, this process of life and death is life...... There are so many memories and so many obsessions, but in the end, the dust returns to dust, and the earth returns to the earth......"

My eyes grew brighter.

"It's just that obsession will not dissipate, it will be forgotten, but it will really exist in the years."

The environment is an obsession.

However, my obsession is rather shallow painting, which cannot be dissolved even if I am killed, so I am lonely, I look down on life and death, and what I cross out is no longer obsession, but the yearning for life and the fear of death.

The snow stopped suddenly.

The picture in front of my eyes became illusory, as if everything was a film movie, and in front of my eyes, I saw one scene after another that I had seen, and I also saw the pictures that I had not noticed, and after watching them all, I realized that this was a complete life, and there was no difference between a practitioner and a mortal in essence.

This illusion is about to come out after all.

Sissi had a dream, her Uncle Xu, step by step towards the outside of the ancient town, his beard, disappeared, his wrinkles, disappeared, his hunchback, also disappeared...... He grew younger, more handsome, more powerful, then smiled mildly, and disappeared into this world completely.

At this moment, the layer of soul cocoon wrapped in my soul began to peel off rapidly, and my soul realm directly crossed the threshold of the half-step transformation realm, directly reached the transformation realm, and then did not stop at all, kept climbing, climbed to the middle of the transformation realm, and then stopped unwillingly.

When I opened my eyes, my eyes were red, because of hunger and thirst, I looked at the blood crystals in front of me, relics, and gave birth to an incomparably hungry and thirsty feeling, just like a traveler in the desert, I grabbed the blood crystal, it was swallowed in my mouth, the violent blood qi spread in my mouth, and then poured into my body, the blood vessels suddenly swelled, my cultivation began to climb from the middle of the unity realm, until the late stage, half-step transformation realm, and then towards a higher threshold, took that step!

Blood crystals and relics are constantly decreasing, but my breath is constantly exuberant!

Zhao Jinzhu, who had been guarding outside for more than two months, was bored and almost faded out of the bird, suddenly shrugged his nose, looked ahead, and showed surprise: "In this ghost place, there are still people coming." ”
