Chapter 2973 (two thousand nine hundred and seventy-three) dyed black
Li Pingrun shuddered as he thought about his future.
There was a stick of incense in the incense burner that was a little crooked. He remembered that his master had told him that when using this kind of magic, the incense sticks could not be crooked, and every stick could not be crooked. This is just like being a human being, your body must be upright at all times.
He stared at the incense in the incense burner for a moment, trying to straighten the incense according to his master's words, but he did not dare to touch the incense with his hands, fearing that he would stain the incense when he touched it. Root fragrance. He even imagined that the venom had already infected his entire body, including his hands, from his feet. He wondered if his hands would turn the incense into a black poisonous incense just because he touched it.
Li Pingrun wanted to cry loudly. He thought: Now that the incense stick is crooked, even if I reach out to touch it with the purpose of straightening it, will it still be contaminated with the venom on my hand? I have taken the wrong path. Even if I try to adjust my course and take the right path, will it darken the right path? If a person is not clean, is there no place where he can be clean in his whole life?
He thought again about what he mentioned in the process of "talking" to the master before: "If I die now because I stop holding my hand, will it be because I have been dyed black by that poisonous road, so even if I become a corpse? , can it only be a black corpse?" At this time, he continued: "Master, is that true? Can I only be a black corpse? Venom, that venom...will that venom control me, and as long as the sun rises a little, my body will become invisible to others? Then will my dead body full of venom never appear in the sunlight? Down?
At this point, Li Pingrun smiled bitterly, as if he heard the answer his master gave him, and the answer seemed to be ridiculed.
"Yes..." Li Pingrun said, "That's right... We have come to this point, why do I still have so many extravagant hopes? I am a person full of venom, a person who is poisonous myself, why do I still have to Do you hope that you can appear in the sun after death? To be honest, when I was alive, when I was walking on the road stained with poison, how often did my heart appear in the sun? No... The day I walked on the road blackened by venom, my heart was already dark! It was so dark that I couldn't see the sun. Maybe in the sun, I was always just a human-like body controlled by a black heart... …”
Li Pingrun still wanted to cry, but he smiled bitterly. He thought: In this world, people who can cry should still have soft hearts, right? Where is my heart? It has been stained black by the venom for a long time. Has it become hardened if it is stained black? So what do I have to cry about? But why did I still cry all those years ago? Does this seem to remind me that I can still be saved? But...is there really any hope? Am I really saved? I can't even tell what color my heart is, whether it's soft or hard... If I continue to go down the wrong path, will I die on the way? Or am I dead a long time ago, from the day I set foot on that wrong road?
However, at this time, Li Pingrun thought about what his master had said to him, and still wanted to reach out immediately to straighten the crooked incense stick. (End of chapter)
