At this moment, Old Dugu's soul had finally taken form. His gaze refocused as he looked in front of him, left and right in a daze. Finally, following Yun Yang's call, he saw Yun Yang in front of him. Then, he frowned and murmured as if he was in a dream, "Why are you here?"
Yun Yang choked and said, "If I didn't come, how would I know what happened to you?"
Old Dugu's expression tightened. He looked at his broken body lying lifelessly on the bed and suddenly thought of something. He sighed desolately and said, "Child, you shouldn't have come and you shouldn't have stayed here. Go!"
Hearing the word, Yun Yang felt even more sorrowful. He said, "I'm here to bring you back. I want to take care of you until you're old and dead."
"Nonsense, I'm already dead."
Old Dugu smiled faintly. "Dead, dead, dead. Everything is over, it's just a pile of rotten meat. It doesn't matter if I die, or if my enemy dies, it's the same as a pile of bones. Is it worth it for you to risk your life and carry such a pile of bones back? "
"It's worth it!" Yun Yang gritted his teeth. "Even if I die, I'll bring you back, father!"
Old Dugu sighed and said, "Foolish child! This old man can rest in peace and still see a descendant send me off. I'm content and have no more regrets. Don't do anything foolish. This is still Zilong City. With me as a burden, you won't be able to kill your way out alone! "
He frowned and said softly, "Child, I don't know what kind of mysterious technique you used to reassemble my spirit. However, I know my own situation. My spirit is starting to dissipate again. This also means that I don't have much time left. Instead of being wishy-washy about what will happen after my death, why don't you be patient and listen to what I have to say. Consider it as fulfilling the friendship between us."
Yun Yang nodded hard and listened to Old Dugu's lecture quietly.
"After your seventh brother passed away, I really didn't have any desire to live in this world anymore … Actually, I should have died then."
Old Dugu was silent for a bit before he said sadly, "However, if I can't avenge my son at least once … it's always a pity. In this year or so, there have been quite a number of generals and officials from various countries who have died in my hands. It's been a win-win! "
"Come to think of it, it's reasonable to fall into their trap this time. We can't only be allowed to seek revenge, but not allow them to retaliate, can we? We won't do such an unreasonable thing. Life and death, hatred and resentment, are fair. Besides, this is also an end for this old man, a conclusion! "
"The reason why I don't want to give up on life is probably because I still have one last wish. There's still something I can't let go of. I've always hoped to see you again. Originally, I had thought that there was no hope. Never would I have imagined that the heavens would care for me so much. I can finally see my child again. "
I can finally see my son again! "Old Dugu's eyes were glued to Yun Yang's face. Dugu's eyes were filled with greed. Old Dugu's eyes.
He knew that the person in front of him was his own child, his own family!
"You must have exhausted a lot of energy to gather my soul with your arcane skill … I won't say much more."
Old Dugu sighed contentedly. "What I want to tell you is my son's background. Actually, I don't know about my son's background either. I picked him up a long time ago, but there's a crescent-shaped symbol on his back. It seems to be the family symbol that some noble families would imprint on their children as soon as they gave birth. Inside the crescent-shaped symbol, there's a 'kill' word; there's a horizontal stripe under the word. "
"If you can find clues about this family or even find his parents, child, you must remember to ask them on behalf of your brother – why did they abandon me back then? If there's a reason, it's fine. If there isn't, you must seek justice for your brother! "
"Such a family will never be unable to raise a child."
Old Dugu said softly.
"Yes!" Yun Yang enunciated each word clearly. "I will find them in the future and ask them face-to-face why they abandoned my brother back then!"
"There's one more thing. I found your brother by chance when I was searching for treasure at the Flaming Peaks. After that, I focused on raising my son and had no interest in the martial world anymore. I had long forgotten about it. Now that I think about it, it was a waste of that opportunity. However, this piece of treasure map that I have is only one of many pieces of treasure map. There are still many pieces that are lost in other places. However, the destination that the treasure map points to is a relic that existed tens of thousands of years ago. Inside this relic, there is a heavenly secret that can seize the fortune of heaven and earth! "
"Those who are fated to enter this relic can ascend to godhood immediately! To be immortal! To be immortal! "
"I originally kept this map in the jade pendant that I carried with me everywhere I went. However, because of this map, I was framed by someone and ended up where I am today. Now, this map has fallen into the hands of Ouyang Xiaoshe. If you have the time in the future, remember to find a chance to kill Ouyang Xiaoshe and take back our family's belongings. It's one thing to forget about our family's belongings, but it's another to have it taken away by someone else! "
Yun Yang swore, "This child will tear Ouyang Xiaoshe into pieces and torture his soul for a hundred years. I won't let him die so easily!"
Old Dugu's body swayed abruptly, his silhouette turning illusory once again. Emmie hurriedly increased its output in an attempt to stabilize him, but it realized that it could no longer help him. He had completely lost control and was crying out in panic.
Yun Yang was anxious as well. Helpless, he channeled the Endless Divine Art to Old Dugu's body with all his might. However, even Emmie's air of vitality was futile; Yun Yang's shallow cultivation base of the Endless Divine Art was futile as well!
As the person directly involved, Old Dugu naturally felt it as well. He smiled faintly and said, "Child, I've thought that when all of you have conquered the world and found yourselves wives and children, I would visit each family one by one and live my days in peace. It's a pity that this old man is destined not to be able to see it."
"When you find a wife and children in the future, don't forget to burn an incense to the heavens and tell this old man. Even if this old man is in the netherworld, I will drink to my heart's content."
Yun Yang said tearfully, "Of course."
"Remember to have more children." Old Dugu smiled warmly. "Your elder brothers did not leave behind any descendants … If you give birth to more, you can give it to them. The legacy of the nine of you brothers, the legacy of your ancestors, all rests on you. "
Yun Yang could only nod his head, completely speechless. However, he did not stop channeling his cultivation base, still hoping for a miracle to happen.
"Child, you … must live on." Old Dugu's body was slowly dissipating. "Don't be impulsive, don't force yourself … This old man has no regrets in dying this time. If you must leave with my corpse, this old man will die with everlasting regret if anything happens to you … Just let me stay here, what harm is there in that? "
Yun Yang was stunned. He finally stopped channeling his cultivation base because he knew that it was a fact that there was nothing he could do to turn the situation around!
"Child … the cabbage and tofu … are your favorite. Remember to use semicircular cabbage, the kind with a tightly wrapped heart. Peel off the outside and leave only the heart. For tofu, use soybean tofu, it's best if it doesn't budge when you press it. Use lard for stir-frying. When the oil is about to take shape, add in the spices. When the aroma of the spices begins to spread, add in the pork belly. When the pork color changes, add in the cabbage … Don't add water when the cabbage is not shrunken … When the pot boils, add in the tofu …"
He explained the cooking method of this dish seriously.
"You love it the most. This old man would love to make another meal for you and watch you eat it … It's a pity that you can only make it yourself in the future …"
Old Dugu's gaze was filled with love as he looked at Yun Yang greedily. "Child … live on. You must be well, you must be happy …"
The kind gaze was fixed on Yun Yang's face as Old Dugu's body turned into wisps of smoke. "Leave me … here …"
"This old man … can't protect you anymore …"
He stretched out his hand with great effort as if he wanted to touch Yun Yang's face, but his hand had already disappeared just as he stretched it out. Yun Yang hurriedly moved his face closer …
However, the afterimage on the other side swayed in the air for a moment and then completely disappeared.
At the same time, the last bit of warmth on Old Dugu's chest was finally gone!
His soul had gone to the nine springs, not betraying the human realm!
Emmie retracted its deific consciousness tiredly.
Yun Yang stood there in a daze, feeling his mind go blank.
He knew that Old Dugu could have held on a little longer, but in order to extinguish his thoughts, he had used the last of his spiritual energy to dispel the last bit of vitality in his body, allowing himself to vanish completely from this world.
"Father …"
Yun Yang's trembling hands stretched out as if he wanted to hold on to the silhouette that had disappeared in the air, but he could only grab a handful of nothingness.
…
The door opened.
Jun Moyan was still standing at the door, his gaze even more complicated than before. "Has Old Dugu gone?"
Yun Yang still felt like his mind was filled with thunder and lightning, his mind was a complete blank. He actually did not hear what Jun Moyan was saying. He felt chills all over his body, his heart sinking. He suddenly felt like he was the only one left in this vast world.
Looking around, there was only loneliness.
His brothers had gone.
Sister Yue had gone.
After Sister Yue and Yun Zuiyue, Old Dugu had left as well. Yun Yang's last kin in this world was gone as well!
He had left his life behind just like that.
Yun Yang was already standing in front of his body, but he could not save his life!
He had traveled tens of thousands of miles, crossed thousands of mountains and rivers, plotted and plotted, but in the end, this was the only ending he could get!
He even had to give up on Old Dugu's body due to the circumstances, unable to bury him in his hometown!
Was he really going to give up and compromise?
Yun Yang felt like his heart was about to explode, a wave of hysterical emotions surging within him.
No, I will never give up!
