Chapter 848 The last wish (please subscribe, please collect, please monthly vote, please recommend votes)
Time is the most invincible force in the world. Almost nothing can survive the invasion of time, from ancient times to the present. Keep it.
People are like this, buildings are like this, and everything in the world is like this, even the ghost controller is no exception.
The same is true for Chinese medicine shops on the old and mottled streets.
Even though this Chinese medicine shop that sells ghost medicine has existed for a long time, it seems that this Chinese medicine shop has been opened here since the day this street appeared. But now, it has become the same as the nearby one. The modern high-rise buildings look out of place, and the bluestone bricks whose edges have been smoothed by time bear witness to the development of the city.
But it is foreseeable that it will be demolished soon, because many nearby old cities have been demolished. According to this progress, within five years, this last old city will also have to be demolished. By then, this last piece of old city will have to be demolished. Streets will disappear together with the changes in the city, and all truths and stories will be buried.
This is the power of time. The general trend is inevitable and there is no way to stop it.
The only thing Su Yuan could guarantee was that the drug store would still be well preserved before the old man who sold the medicine died.
But death is like a light going out. No one can guarantee what will happen next.
Just when Su Yuan was peeking at the movement of the drug store, an old man walked slowly from the dark depths of the drug store, leaning on a cane. Sunglasses hung on his face, and he seemed to have lost his eyesight. He is blind, covered with age spots all over his body, and his body is extremely thin. His whole body exudes a lifeless aura, and you can even vaguely smell the smell of rotting corpses.
However, this corpse smell was obscured by a stronger smell of Chinese medicine, making it difficult to distinguish.
He is dying!
Su Yuan made a judgment at the first sight of the old man.
The smell of death and decay cannot fool anyone.
Behind the old man was a woman, who looked to be around thirty, with a plump figure and outstanding grace. I don’t know if her skin was unusually pale because she had not seen the sun for a long time.
But Su Yuan just glanced at it and ignored it.
Even if this woman is a ghost master, traces of the supernatural can even be felt from her body.
But how big a wave a flower in a greenhouse can make is not worth paying attention to at all.
“Young man, you have been looking at the door of my store for so long. It’s so disturbing. I thought you wanted to demolish my store. If you don’t have this idea, don’t let me in. Sit down and have a cup of tea!"
The old man extended an invitation to Su Yuan. He didn't look hostile at all, but his attitude was very kind.
But Su Yuan still said indifferently: "You are going to die! You won't live long."
"You can't die, and you don't dare to die, otherwise you won't be willing to die, so you can only hold on."
The old man sighed and said slowly.
Su Yuan shook his head: "You can only care for a while, but not for a whole life. Every era has its own way to go. Where there can be so much control, future generations will not be able to survive even if they are useless. Come down, or will human civilization disappear from now on? That is the path of future generations, where I can manage so much.”
“The fittest survive and the fittest die. The theory of evolution is applicable to any species. Even if it is what I can do, it is just my best. I have come true. The worst situation is nothing more than following the trend.”
Su Yuandao: "But I'm not here to discuss this with you today, nor am I here to cause trouble. I want a few packets of medicine for some of my subordinates."
The old man hasn't spoken yet, but he The woman behind him frowned: "You dare to be so arrogant when you come here to ask for medicine. You are the first one. It's really annoying. No one who came here to ask for medicine before was not respectful. "Respect and humility."
Su Yuan glanced at the woman and then at the old man: "I advise you to sew the woman's mouth shut, otherwise if you die, she will soon die too. "Slaughtered."
The corners of the old man's mouth moved slightly and he actually laughed, but he did not laugh. The wrinkled skin on the old face looked particularly eerie and weird.
"There is no need for a person who has reached your level to have trouble with a girl. Xiaoru lacks some eyesight. She has taken care of my old bones for a long time and lacks knowledge of the outside world. This You can’t blame her, Xiaoru, go and get a cup of hot tea, this is a distinguished guest, not much worse than us, we can’t neglect him.”
"Girl? She is older than me."
At the invitation of the old man, Su Yuan walked into the shop. He was not worried that the old man would have any bad intentions.
After all, the other party is too old, and the old man is almost dead. If he really takes action, he will be the only one who dies.
But after entering, the chair sitting under the old man’s butt attracted Su Yuan’s attention.
It was a black Taishi chair. The armrests on it seemed to be patinated, smooth and shiny.
This is a supernatural item.
Su Yuan stared at the Taishi chair: "Your chair is very good. When you are going to die one day, remember to tell me and leave the chair to me."
The old man was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and smiled bitterly. I don’t know whether he agreed or refused, or whether he was speechless because of Su Yuan’s shamelessness.
Soon.
The mature woman named Xiaoru brought a pot of hot tea and poured a cup for Su Yuan and the old man from the Chinese medicine shop next to him. Although she had some prejudices against Su Yuan, she could not treat the old man. Don't listen.
After pouring the tea, the woman did not leave, but stood nearby and listened quietly.
Her eyes stayed on Su Yuan, as if she was looking at him seriously.
“To be honest, I still have full respect for you people. Even if you are almost dead on the mountain, you can calm down the ghosts of an era and give future generations breathing time. If nothing else, just This alone is a great contribution."
Su Yuan looked at the steaming tea cup, and then said slowly.
But facing Su Yuan's praise, the old man just shook his head: "So what, supernatural events are happening one after another. Even if we exhaust our means, there is no way to completely solve it. Our path is wrong. Yes, I have tried to treat the symptoms but not the root cause. I have worked hard all my life, but in the end I have not been able to get a satisfactory result. ”
"Even now, time has not spared anyone. I can only linger and wait for death. I have no expectations now. I can only train and train the younger generations. I hope that the younger generations can take a different path. Even if they see a little hope, they will not be able to survive in this life." It’s worth it.”
He sighed, but there was a strong obsession in his heart.
This obsession supports the old man's almost decayed body.
But even so, he has reached his limit, and there is no way he can continue to survive with such a body. (End of this chapter)
