Chapter 286: The Last Glass of Wine
That face is very familiar to Zhu Gouzi.
He had seen it more than eighty years ago.
Probably eighty-one years ago?
I can't remember it.
Even the face of Xiao San, who was also young at the beginning... His memory had become a little blurry.
No, even Zhu Gouzi's own face when she was young... He'd forgotten what it was like.
It is said that time is the best antidote, and he thinks this sentence is correct.
The reason why he still remembers the face of the immortal is only because the other party will not get old.
It was this face eighty years ago.
It was this face forty or fifty years ago.
It was this face seventeen years ago.
Right now... It's still the same face.
The two looked at each other without saying a word.
In the end, it was Li Shuhong who took the lead in breaking the silence, "What, just let me stand like this?" ”
"Who can stop you if you want to sit?"
seems to know that his life has come to an end, and the old man has completely let go.
He turned around and ordered: "Senior nephew, you go out first, the old man wants to catch up with this young old immortal." ”
Lin Jifeng glanced at Li Shuhong, and then nodded in response, "Yes, Uncle Shi should not be too excited." ”
With that, he walked out of the house and closed the door.
"Don't worry, he won't eavesdrop."
Zhu Gouzi looked at Li Shuhong with a radiant look, "Wen Juxia, long time no see." ”
Li Shuhong sat down at the table, "I don't have the surname Wen." ”
"I know, your surname is Li, and your name is Li Shuhong. That's what the moon is missing, what is it, and the shadow is sparse. "The old man didn't care.
Li Shuhong was shocked, how did he expose himself?
"How did I get exposed?"
"Hey, do you have to wait for it to be exposed now? In the capital, the old man knew it was you. ”
Old man Zhu's words made Li Shuhong's heart skip a beat.
So at that time, he pretended to be himself and was also seen by him?
"Then why didn't you poke me at the time?"
"You must have your thoughts." Zhu Gouzi was happy, "Although I have seen you give birth to flowers, it is not that kind of flower." Probably you were also injured, how could the old man mention this kind of thing to outsiders? ”
Li Shuhong felt that something was wrong, "You ......"
"Hah! There is no Li Shuhong in this world at all! People like you won't take in apprentices! The so-called Li Shuhong is just a fake identity that you deliberately released incognito after the immortal was injured! Zhu Gouzi had a smug look of "you have been seen through by me", "But there is someone in this world who can hurt you?" That's a surprise. ”
Li Shuhong: "......"
Dare to love this old man because he thinks that the "Immortal" is pretending to be "Li Shuhong", not "Li Shuhong" pretending to be an "Immortal".
"Whatever you want."
Li Shuhong said a perfunctory sentence casually, and then suddenly stretched out his hand and pressed it on Zhu Gouzi's heart.
But Zhu Gouzi didn't react, and even asked after a while, "What are you doing?" ”
Li Shuhong opened his mouth, but finally said: "It's okay, but your body is a little bad, could it be that your good teacher and nephew abuse you every day and don't give you food?" ”
This old man...... It's so thin that it's a little out of shape.
He is an innate great master.
The innate great master is different from the innate master, which Li Shuhong understands very well.
The innate master is very strong, but in front of the innate grandmaster, he is like a chicken.
Li Shuhong is only the day after tomorrow at the moment, and he should have no power to fight back in front of him.
But now... In the face of his sudden attack, Zhu Gouzi couldn't even react.
And his body is empty, although Li Shuhong is not congenital, but in the script, he is a giant in the Cave Realm, so he has a certain understanding of the congenital condition.
At this moment, the true element in Zhu Gouzi's body is almost nothing, and the true element is the most essential part of gathering a person's essence, qi, and spirit into one, and it is also the closest to the origin of heaven and earth, so the innate master can use the true element as a guide to move the essence of heaven and earth.
And the fact that there is almost no true element in Zhu Gouzi's body represents... He had run out of oil and the lamp had dried up.
This situation is no longer a cure.
Li Shuhong believes that the reward for the production of the script may be able to save him, but now he can't get it at all.
Or... There is a Dao law, and the natural realm is willing to lose all his life in exchange for a life, which can probably give him a few more years.
It's only been a few years.
"I said, why don't you speak? If you don't speak, why blow out the candle? ”
Listening to Zhu Gouzi's doubts and complaints, Li Shuhong pursed his lips.
Eye... Can't you see it too......
After a while, he suddenly asked, "Do you regret it?" ”
"Never regretted it."
Li Shuhong didn't explain what he asked, and Zhu Gouzi didn't say what he answered.
"That'll be fine."
He took out a pot of wine and poured two small glasses, then pushed a glass to Zhu Gouzi, "Then I will give you the last glass, I don't know when I will drink next time." ”
Zhu Gouzi was triumphant, "That's good, the old man can drink the wine of the immortals four times in his life, it's worth it, who else can do it?" ”
That's quite a lot... Li Shuhong didn't say what was in his heart, he asked the penultimate question, "Is it really willing to die in a hospital bed?" ”
"The old man's life has long been worth it!"
Zhu Gouzi pretended to be heroic, but he tried to control it, but his trembling hand moved a little bit on the table.
Li Shuhong pushed the wine glass to his hand.
The old man touched the glass and held it slowly, but did not raise it.
"When the old man was young, there was a great drought in the world, and my father and mother sold my two younger brothers and three younger sisters.
"Later... We ate Grandma, and then Daddy left himself for the four of us brothers to eat.
"I was the youngest in the family at that time, and I was supposed to eat me, and I didn't want to live, but ......
"The brothers committed suicide in front of me, just to keep more meat for me, and I still remember what the third brother said at that time.
"'Dog, it's winter, remember to pile us all in the back of the house, it's not easy to rot and we can eat for a few more days.'"
He reached into his arms with his other hand and felt for five teeth, "This is what they left me."
"Later, Master rescued me and brought me back to Master's Gate. At that time, the sect was already in ruins, and according to the master, when he was young, he had enemies to seek revenge, and his brothers hid him in a pit to escape. Later, the master left in a few years, and before leaving, he said that I didn't need to think about revitalizing the master, this matter had weighed him for most of his life, and he didn't want me to be like this.
"But I don't have anything to pursue, revitalizing the master is the knot in the master's heart for most of his life, and I naturally want to do it.
"But then... I worked hard in the rivers and lakes, and occasionally had an adventure into the congenital, at that time I was not confused, and more than 20 years of winter and summer had passed since I left the school.
"I thought I could finally revitalize the sect, but I still couldn't do anything.
"I went out of the mountain again to lay a great name for the master on the rivers and lakes and even seek revenge for the family, but after more than 20 years of returning to the mountain, I found that my Golden Daomen has been revitalized by the young man who was rescued by my senior brother, and the strength and vision of my nephew are far better than mine, in fact... The Golden Daomen doesn't need me at all, and even without me, the Golden Daomen can be revitalized.
"In the past 100 years of life, the only two things I have to brag about are probably knowing you and Xiao San."
Li Shuhong didn't speak, he just quietly listened to the old man in front of him calmly talk about his past.
But Zhu Gouzi suddenly asked him at this time, "Actually... You're in pain, too. ”
"Why do you say that?"
"Because I probably know that feeling, albeit only a little." Zhu Gouzi no longer has that kind of arrogance and arrogance at this moment, but is unexpectedly calm, "So the people I know have passed away one by one, whether it is friends and relatives or enemies, when I wanted to take revenge, I found that the enemy family had already been wiped out, and the rest were just some lonely ghosts."
"That's when I thought, why should I continue to live? The division has been revitalized, and the enemy family is gone, what is the point of my life?
"Later I understood that I just... To live. ”
Zhu Gouzi said firmly: "Not for myself, but for those who want me to live." Daddy, Auntie and Brother want me to live, and Master wants me to live, so I want to live for them.
"It's painful to live, but to live, because only by living can we remember those who are no longer there, and they will leave traces of their existence in this world.
"Lee... Big brother, you have always been alone, in fact, I can understand you, you just because you have experienced too many similar things, so you don't want to be hurt again, so you choose not to care about anything. ”
Because I don't care, I won't get hurt.
"Our long life may be less than a ten-thousandth of your life, but those are real, and you will be affected. So... Brother Li. ”
He raised his glass, his already weak hand now solid as a rock.
After that, drink it all.
"I want to live......"
