Looking at the plane taking off in front of him, Su Bai's gaze seemed to wander. Ying Yinger had left. She had only stayed here for a day and accompanied him for a day. Su Bai himself was a little confused. Perhaps there was another choice or another possibility in front of him now, but he seemed to have no strength, let alone the slightest thought to grasp it.
There is already someone else in my heart, there is no room for you.
Perhaps, this sentence was the most suitable for the current Su Bai. People often said to let go of hatred and look forward, but most of them were helpless actions. If there was a chance, if there was confidence, if it was possible, it was the life that everyone yearned for.
He had vowed countless times that he would kill his so-called parents. Now, he could not take any other fork in the road.
The plane was already far away. Su Bai stood up and clapped his hands.
This farewell …
Perhaps it would be forever.
Looking back, the Chengdu Great Plain was so neat. This world, the buildings, the culture, and the life here would soon be far away from him.
He did not know if there would be a day when he would return.
There was some melancholy in his heart, but it was not very heavy.
He lit a cigarette, took a deep puff, rubbed it with his fingers, and then put out the cigarette butt.
This kind of mental state was not suitable for him, especially when he was about to face a real life-and-death situation in the near future.
Successfully proving the Dao only gave him the qualification to get close to that chessboard. Whether he could sit down was still unknown. There was no need to think about whether he could win against that person.
When he returned to the small temple, it was already afternoon. The monk had proved the Dao. Su Bai had sensed it when he was in Chengdu, but the monk had become more and more reserved. The aura of the Dao Proving was too weak. He probably could not leave Sichuan.
The monk had prepared vegetarian food and some snacks. Coincidentally, Su Bai returned, so everyone started eating.
It was not considered lunch, nor was it considered dinner.
It was purely because everyone was going to go their separate ways again, so it was a temporary meal.
The monk was going to travel all over Southeast Asia to collect faith from those temples, while Lord Zeng was going back to his own temple to prepare some things. Fatso did not plan to leave, but two of the four were already leaving, so they could be considered to be in a semi-disbanded state.
The meal was very peaceful. Even the usually noisy Fatso did not speak much. After the meal, the monk left with a parcel, like an ascetic monk.
Lord Zeng also left a little later. He said that he was going back to the temple to find some scriptures. He had to make some preparations if he wanted to prove the Dao with the devil.
Fatso's Primordial Spirit and body had merged into one, but he was still sitting in front of the Three Pure Ones.
The little guy fell asleep, and Ji was watching by his side.
As usual, Ruyi was accompanying Fugui's tombstone on the hillside.
Ruyi was sitting alone in front of the steps of the small temple.
Su Bai sat alone on the steps of the small temple.
The moon and the stars were few, but it.
Today seemed to be the day of departure. They were all leaving, all leaving.
However, some of them would be seen again, and some of them might never be seen again.
Su Bai did not feel much sadness in his heart. The experience of being the guardian of the Land of Proving the Tao had taught him how to endure loneliness. This bit of cold wind did not make him feel cold.
It was just that this day was indeed not that pleasant.
In the distance, there was a little light, as if someone was walking on the hillside at night with a torch. Because the light kept flickering, it was definitely not the light of a car or a flashlight.
Then, the ball of light began to get closer and clearer.
Someone held a torch and walked over from the horizon.
He was elegant and out of this world. Although there were no extras sprinkling flowers or playing music, the stars in the sky became his back view.
Su Bai did not seem to know this person, but this person was walking toward him.
This was a man, a man who was over fifty years old. He looked a little old, and his figure was a little hunched. This was not an act, nor was it an act. This was his truest and most essential state.
This was a man, a man over fifty years old. He looked a little old, and his figure was a little hunched. This was not an act, nor was it an act. This was his most real and essential state.
Su Bai suddenly realized.
He recognized it.
It was him.
"I'm here to see you." The man held two bottles of white wine in his hand and sat down on the steps beside Su Bai.
One bottle for each of them.
It was fair.
"I didn't know that you were the one who proved the Dao." Su Bai smiled and sighed at how fate made a fool of him. During this period of time, there had been some people who had proved the Dao. Of course, Su Bai did not pay much attention to these things.
"Are you implying that I died a long time ago when I was still a veteran?" The old man laughed as well. "I didn't live as exciting as you did, and I didn't live as thrilling as you did. But I finally walked out step by step. Now, I've proven the Dao. I don't have any regrets."
"Perhaps, you are the radio's favorite listener."
Su Bai took a sip of the wine. The alcohol content was very high.
"No, I'm not, especially now." The old man shook his head. "In the end, I still owe you a thank you."
"You let me go last time. Actually, we're even," Su Bai replied.
"Hehe." The old man gulped down a mouthful of wine. "My son has a terminal illness."
Su Bai was stunned.
He did not understand.
"What's wrong?"
He was not asking about the terminal illness. Because he had a big shot as his father, any terminal illness was not a problem. Moreover, the radio station no longer recruited experiencers, so it was not a problem for the big shot to do it himself.
Su Bai's question was, why was this a problem?
"I didn't want to save him." The old man looked a little dejected. "Last time, you saved him at the scene of the explosion. Actually, he should have died a long time ago, right?"
"What... happened?"
"If I wasn't by his side, he might have died three times recently.
A car accident, an accident during fire department training, and an accident where he was almost poisoned. "
"Do you think this isn't a coincidence?" Su Bai leaned back slightly. "Can you be a little more promising? In the past, you were afraid of the radio and didn't dare to save your son. Now, you're afraid of those illusory things."
"Is the radio supreme?" The old man suddenly asked.
Su Bai was stunned.
He shook his head.
He said,
"Not necessarily, because it still has rules, and because of these rules, it has been able to exist for so long. In other words, it will also die."
"That's right. Above the radio, there are even more vast and ethereal things. In my opinion, the rules of the radio are nothing more than stealing the fate and rules of a world or this world for a period of time for their own use.
But now, you know what the radio is like. It's returning something. It's preparing to go to that world.
Therefore, the cycle of birth, aging, illness, and death, and karma have returned to its most fundamental operation.
The radio is just a senior in the Dao of karma. It's much higher than us.
"I can't save him, and I don't want to save him. Every time I save him, his next accident will be more terrifying and frightening. Fortunately, my grandson was born last year."
Su Bai chuckled. "You're really pedantic."
"People have to learn to be carefree." The old man took another sip of wine. "Of course, I have to learn to be carefree. My son still has half a year left. I want to be by his side and send him off before I go to that world. I want to see him leave with my own eyes.
I'd rather do this than wait for me to leave this world and let him suffer other torture. "
"If there's a chance in front of you, you have to fight for it." Su Bai didn't agree with the old man's attitude. "My choice will be different from yours."
"You're different from me." The old man turned his head and looked at the small temple behind him. "So, everyone's choice will be different."
The conversation fell into silence.
For half an hour,
The two men only drank from time to time. They did not talk much.
"You also have a son." The old man suddenly asked, "What do you plan to do?"
"I plan to bring him to that world." Su Bai answered without hesitation. Perhaps, if it was in the past, Su Bai would still be puzzled and hesitant. However, when he proved his Dao, many of his thoughts were already clear, including how to treat himself and the people around him.
"Aren't you just as selfish?" The old man was obviously disappointed with Su Bai's answer.
"He's a part of me, and I'm a part of him. I'll let him choose for himself, but he'll definitely go with me. From the moment I adopted him, he was destined to be like this one day. "
Su Bai stood up and threw away the empty bottle in his hand.
"Hehe." The old man smiled. "See you on the train next time."
"See you on the train."
The old man also threw away the bottle and slowly left. His figure began to gradually disappear into the distant sky.
Everyone had their own reluctance to leave, as well as their own ties. That was because in this world, you were born here, and you grew up here. This wasn't a long trip, nor was it a trip to the South Pole or the North Pole. This was leaving this world.
Moreover …
It was very likely that he would not be able to return.
Su Bai felt that this old man was a little unkind. He was feeling uncomfortable, and then he came all the way here to drink with him. In the end, he made his already bad mood even worse.
Trash emotions were indeed more contagious.
After returning to the small temple and entering the bedroom, Ji Xiang raised her head and saw Su Bai walking in.
The little fellow was still sleeping soundly, sleeping soundly.
He had always been carefree. Every day, he watched anime and played with building blocks. Perhaps, this was the simple life he wanted.
"I will bring Yuxuan to another world." Su Bai's words were directed at Ji Xiang. Ji Xiang had always been taking care of the little guy, so Su Bai felt that it was necessary to inform Ji Xiang of his decision.
However, Ji Xiang was not as angry as he had expected. It did not even make a sound. It only silently prostrated its head and looked at the little guy beside it.
For the first time, Su Bai saw tears flickering in the black cat's eyes.
Perhaps, the reason why Ji Xiang did not struggle, resist, or be angry …
Was because it knew that even if Su Bai did not bring the little guy along, the little guy would still be determined to leave with Su Bai.
The black cat was very disappointed.
Because …
After a period of time …
Ruyi had an empty grave.
Ji Xiang had nothing.
