Tianwei Chapter 346 Dust (1)
After a while, the figure gradually became clearer. Many images and characters poured into his body. These things seemed to have a shaping effect, bringing him closer and closer to reality.
I didn’t think anything of it at first, but after watching it for a while, I suddenly felt a little uneasy in my heart, and my mind became a little hazy.
Because I have no memory of more than 99 percent of the scenes that were sucked into my body.
What's going on? Why do I have no memory of these memories that belong to me?
At this time, the speed at which the surrounding fragments gathered suddenly increased. This was caused by the old Taoist increasing his Taoist power output.
The panic in my heart quickly grew, the images gradually became clearer, and the figure became more real. When I saw the slightly blurry face clearly, I was stunned.
This is not me...
No!
This is not the body I want!
What's going on!
What happened?
Wait...I suddenly felt a darkness in front of my eyes, because at that moment I suddenly remembered something.
The Taoist magic that the old Taoist used was to summon my past self. According to my thinking, the object of summoning should be that physical body. But what about the old Taoist? What he wanted was to summon my physical body.
So... who was I in the past?
I am not Yang Tianyou...but the Taoist's junior fellow apprentice!
What he summoned was actually the body that belonged to his junior fellow apprentice from more than 20 years ago!
It's over... I don't have the energy to think about anything anymore. I feel like the sky is falling. Could it be that the old Taoist suddenly sped up his progress? It was obvious that he saw those familiar scenes and understood everything. The things that I wanted to hide could no longer be concealed at this moment.
His body took shape in an instant, and he stood there, dressed in white, with an otherworldly aura.
From his appearance, he looked gentle and refined, but who would have thought that he had once struggled to split the stone beast and set foot on the road to the unknown. That kind of courage, even I don’t have it now.
But he is me, and I am him...
Huh? Wei Qingcang let out a low cry.
They were delighted to see the body, but they were stunned when they saw a strange face. Fan Ran shouted in surprise: You are wrong, this is not him.
The green dragon roared, walked on the clouds, and after its four claws landed, a breeze blew. The oasis and the clouds all dissipated, and the old Taoist appeared there. The expression on his face was happy and sad, surprised and painful. Looking at the flesh body in front of him, his body trembled slightly, his eyes were a little red, his lips opened and closed, and he didn't say a word.
I understand exactly how he feels right now, and because I understand that, I feel I was wrong.
There is no fire that can be covered by paper. Even if he doesn't know it now, when the world comes to its last moment, will I still hide it from him?
With my personality, no.
So what difference does it make whether you say it early or late?
It’s him… the old Taoist suddenly spoke with a trembling voice.
Fanran hurried over, looked at the body curiously, and asked in confusion: How did you summon a stranger?
The old Taoist did not answer. He suddenly strode forward and walked in front of the body. He looked at it carefully at first. Then he sighed and said: Tianyou, are you... still planning to hide it from me?
His tone was not intense, and it was obvious that he had calmed down a lot. I didn't know how to answer, so I could only say: I didn't mean to hide it from you, but...
Are you afraid that I can't accept it, or are you afraid that I will accept it too easily? asked the old Taoist priest.
I was stunned. Neither of the two answers was correct. Now, even I have forgotten why I hid it from him in the first place.
What are you talking about? Fanran's eyes wandered between the flesh body and the old Taoist priest, and he asked in confusion: Are you talking to Tianyou? Where is he? Why hasn't he come out yet?
The old Taoist turned his head and looked at Fanran, then sighed again.
I know this is not the time to remain silent. If I keep my mouth shut, everything will turn to the worst.
I don't want to lie to you, I just don't know how to tell you. I sent him a thought: I just learned about this not long ago. I never thought that I was actually your junior apprentice.
I didn't expect that either... The old Taoist bowed his head slightly and whispered to himself: The prophecy left by the master has really come true... Kill the corpse and I will find you. I found you... I really found you.
I didn't know how to respond. Fanran was scratching his head anxiously and kept asking what was going on.
At this time, the old Taoist looked up at the body in front of him, his eyes were a little moist. After taking a deep breath and slowly slowing down his breathing, he asked: Are you willing to accept this body? Or do you still want to take back the previous one?
This question left me a little stunned because I hadn't had time to think about it.
Now that the Taoist asked this, I felt that this was really too sudden.
So, should I accept this body that belongs to my junior brother and return to my true identity, or choose the one that was taken away?
Hard to choose...
It is reasonable for me to restore my identity as the Taoist's junior brother. She can erase my memory, but she cannot erase my past. The Taoist's restoration of this body from the fragments of heaven and earth is the best proof.
But I believe from the bottom of my heart that I am Yang Tianyou. My father's surname is Yang, and I was born in a small city. My grandfather's surname is Yang, and he died in a small village. I also have a grandfather named Shi, and I still have my roots.
If I became the old Taoist's junior apprentice, where would that root be?
The body has the five elements veins, but my soul, my heart, is not here.
I understand... The old Taoist nodded, his tone full of loneliness.
I felt a little reluctant, but I didn't want to go against my true feelings.
The old Taoist sighed and said: It’s good that you’re back… It’s good that you’re back.
At that moment, he suddenly seemed to have aged a lot. His originally vigorous energy began to weaken. Fanran, who was waiting beside him, was jumping up and down, and kept asking questions.
The old Taoist priest did not answer, but asked me: Do you want to tell her?
I hesitated and asked: What do you think?
You should tell her, said the old Taoist priest.
I was still hesitant, because the relationship between Fanran and I had always been between friends and close friends. At the beginning, the old woman seemed to want to bring us together. If I hadn't found the past in the Three Lives Stone, maybe something would have happened between her and me.
But now, our relationship has changed.
I am the father and she is the daughter, and we can never go back to the way we were before.
But……
Why don't I want to completely give up this emotion, which should be called abnormal?
My hesitation and my reluctance all illustrate this point.
I like her as any other man likes a woman.
Does she like me? Maybe, because I can occasionally get a glimpse of it from her actions and words.
But can we accept each other's liking like normal people?
This is exactly the reason for my hesitation.
Because once everything is said, the answer to the question just now will definitely be no.
But if I don’t say it...if I can get over that hurdle in my heart, everything will go smoothly.
After all, I am me, I am Yang Tianyou, my flesh and blood have no relationship with Fanran. The identity of the Taoist disciple is equivalent to the previous life, I don't need to sacrifice anything for that life.
The world and ethics.
Everyone is bound by so-called morality, a bondage of the soul, and meets the standards of moral criticism. So, if I really did that, I would probably be scolded and despised by countless people.
But is it worth giving up a lifelong relationship because of other people’s scolding?
Do you like Tianyou? The old Taoist priest suddenly looked at Fanran and asked this question that made people want to vomit blood.
Huh? He was stunned for a moment, then said with an unnatural look: Why are you asking this for no reason? Where is Tianyou? Why hasn't he come out yet?
If you like him, he will come out. If you don't like him... the old Taoist paused, then said in a low voice: Perhaps, you will never see him again at that moment.
Huh? How could this be! He was shocked.
I was a little dazed, but after the Taoist priest finished speaking, I immediately realized that he was helping me, helping me find an answer and making a decision on how to choose.
Now, the choice of this decision falls on Fanran.
I didn't stop the Taoist priest. Instead, I subconsciously gathered my eyes to see the reality clearly.
Fanran's expression was slightly shy. She felt a little uneasy, but more confused.
Why are you asking this... What happened to Tianyou? What happened to him? Fanran asked.
Tell me, do you like him? The old Taoist priest spoke in a gentle tone, with a rare kindness.
You... Fanran's face turned slightly red, and she clasped her hands together, looking very embarrassed. She rarely showed her little girl's attitude, and this was one of the few times.
Wei Qingcang and Gamu came over and asked in a low voice what was going on.
The old Taoist didn't answer, but just stared at Fanran.
Perhaps there were too many people around, Fanran didn't say anything, and the old Taoist didn't say anything either, just waited there quietly.
The scene was a little cold and awkward. Wei Qingcang and Gamu looked at each other and shook their heads slightly, indicating that they didn't understand.
Do you like him? The old Taoist asked again.
This time, Fan Ran finally responded. She lowered her head and said in a mosquito-like voice: Hmm...
The old Taoist priest looked a little disappointed. But immediately, he smiled again. He shook his head and said loudly: See, this is your choice. Do what you want to do. You are still Tianyou, not him.
The old Taoist priest smiled and suddenly waved his hand.
The body belonging to the junior brother vanished into smoke as he waved his hand, turning into stars and slowly disappearing.
What are you doing... Gamu was startled and was about to shout, but was stopped by Wei Qingcang.
Fanran's face was still a little red, but he couldn't help but raise his head and look at the old Taoist in surprise.
I know that everything is settled and there is no need to think about anything else. My will carries my thoughts and transmits them to each of their minds. From the time my body was taken away until now, I have told them everything except the matter about my junior brother.
This matter had some twists and turns, and several people were stunned after hearing it. Suddenly, they exclaimed in surprise and covered their mouths, as if they couldn't believe it.
Seeing her astonishment, I couldn't help but tease her: Is this really surprising? Is it more surprising than you saying you like me?
She was slightly startled, then her face turned red.
