Use one sentence to summarize what Duan Tian wants to express.
That is, the current situation is already very fragile, so fragile that if even a hair is put on it, the whole building may collapse in an instant.
At this moment, no one spoke. A few figures stood quietly in the snow. Apart from the sound of the wind, I could only hear my own heartbeat.
This depressing atmosphere lasted for about two minutes, and I was the first to break the silence: "Senior, why did you tell us this the other day? Or let me ask another way, why did you not tell us this until now?"
"Just like Chang Sheng said, if I tell you this matter, the fate of all of you will be tied to this matter. I don't want to harm you."
Duan Tian dusted off the snow that fell on his shoulders: "But there is no point in hiding it anymore. The arrival of that day has almost become settled. I tell you just to make you mentally prepared in advance.
Whether it’s to fulfill your own wishes or to fulfill those regrets from the past, live this period of time well and let fate do the rest.”
Everyone was already feeling heavy at this moment, but after Duan Tian said this, the atmosphere became even more depressing than before.
It’s not because they were sentenced to death in advance. These people present are not human beings, and none of them is younger than 180 years old. Especially for Taoist Meng who has lived for more than two thousand years, and the two Liu family members who have lived for hundreds of years.
Years old, life and death have long been decided by them.
I feel uncomfortable because I heard that the world is about to collapse, I think that the land I have lived in for so many years is about to fall into catastrophe, and I think of my relatives and younger generations who are about to lose their lives one by one. This kind of ending is even more unacceptable than death.
of.
Even I started to think about what regrets I had. After thinking about it, I felt that it was just Yingying.
It has been several days since I found out she was missing. I have done nothing but lose my temper and have no time to look for her. If things really get to an irreversible situation, then my biggest wish is
See her again before that day comes.
Then there is Zhang Qi, this woman who has been hurt by me several times, but still misses me like an idiot. She should still be controlled by Tianxin Island at the moment. When I think of her, I feel guilty, regardless of life.
As long as there is time left, I think I should rescue her. I can't let her die in pain at the hands of those bastards on Tianxin Island after being tortured so much.
After sleeping for more than six hundred years, those past events no longer stir up much excitement in my heart, but I really can't let go of those relatives and friends in this life.
Wu Hao, Wang Zikun, and even promised, every bit of time with them occupies a large enough weight in my memory. I really want to keep these beautiful memories, but it won't be long before they completely dissipate.

"There is a saying that there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain."
When everyone was silent, Liu Changsheng suddenly spoke: "The number of Dayan is fifty, and the number of Tianyan is forty-nine. Leave a ray of hope to fight with others. No matter how cruel the way of heaven is, it will always give people a chance of survival."
Duan Tian looked up at the sky and sighed: "That's what I said, but I have been thinking hard in the world for six hundred years, and I still can't figure out where this glimmer of hope is."
Then Liu Changsheng turned his eyes to me: "Why don't you think about it? It must be on this kid."
"No, Senior Liu, please don't put a high hat on me."
I waved my hands repeatedly: "I had the same idea as you before, but then I thought about it carefully. If the death of people depends on me, a witch, isn't that a bit ridiculous?
In my opinion, maybe this glimmer of hope lies within you. After all, you are one of the most gifted and wisest beings in the past hundred years. Maybe one day you will be able to achieve physical enlightenment and become a saint?"
Liu Changsheng ignored me at all.
He didn't even look at me, he looked directly at Duan Tian and asked: "What do you think?"
"I think it's pointless for us to speculate randomly here. If you have an idea, then just act like a doctor and do it according to your idea."
Duan Tian clasped his hands behind his back, and the emotion in his eyes gradually became firmer: "Now that things have come to an end, the only thing I can do is to give it a final try, go to the underworld, and tell the truth about what happened six hundred years ago in front of the nine kings of hell and those underworld envoys.
What happened tells them that the person who controls the Seventh Hall now is the inner demon, not the real me."
"It's too risky."
As soon as Duan Tian finished speaking, I shook my head: "The inner demon controls the soul and body. It can be said that it is you, a real you, and you are just a part of the real spirit that escaped. Even if you explain it clearly, those in the underworld will not
I won't recognize it.
Hades is the home of others. If this attack is resolved by the inner demon, you will never have a chance to turn around. The only outcome will be that your consciousness is completely wiped out by it."
"Understood, I understand everything."
Duan Tian shook his head and sighed: "This is a last resort, but it is also the only thing I can do. Don't worry, I will let Senior Zhulong stand for me when the time comes. With his status in the underworld supporting me, I may not succeed.
hope."
"You are risking your life."
"The only money I have left to go to the gambling table is my life."
Duan Tian suddenly smiled, and it was clear from his smile that he was extremely relieved: "Life and death are no longer important to you and me. What you care about is the people around you, and what I care about is my mission.
My duty is to protect the world, so I have to fight hard. No matter whether I can succeed or not, as long as I have a clear conscience, that's all."
Duan Tian has talked to this extent, and I have nothing to say.
The group slowly began to move without knowing when, leaving a series of long marks on the thick snow.
I don’t know how long it took, but when the sun was already high in the sky and was about to set, Liu An next to me finally said: "Then what, we brothers have bad legs and feet, so we won’t go with you."
Let's go, Changsheng, let's go back to Xing'anling first, if nothing happens, you can come back early."
Liu Changsheng responded: "Hey, okay, you two, please be careful on the road."
The two old men didn't say a word, and walked directly to the side road without saying a word.
Immediately after, the third aunt also said: "Senior Duan Tian, look, if nothing happens, then this junior will also take a step forward?"
"Well, let's all go, I'll go with you."
Duan Tian looked back at me: "I'm going back to plan and see how to get to Hades. What should I say after getting to Hades? Changsheng, you also go back with me. I need your help."
Liu Changsheng nodded: "I understand. You go first. I'll have a few words with Gu Yan."
Duan Tian didn't say anything else. His figure faded in front of the two of us and gradually disappeared, followed closely by Taoist Meng and Third Aunt, who also left without saying a word.
After everyone left, I asked Liu Changsheng: "What do you want to say to me?"
"It's nothing, I just feel that the old man is in a bad mood now and I want him to calm down by himself."
Liu Changsheng walked forward and asked me: "Speaking of Gu Yan, if the situation is as irreversible as Duan Tian said, what are you going to do in the next period of time?"
"Next?"
I rolled my eyes: "Hey, no matter what, even if the sky falls, let's put down the marriage with Qingqing first, and we'll talk about the rest later."
