Chapter 243 Awakening
Chapter 243 Awakening
Time flies, spring goes and autumn comes, flowers bloom and fall, and before you know it, another year has passed.
This year Jiang Yan's condition became even more serious. He had completely given up thinking, and gave up thinking about whether this world was real or not.
The two memories mixed with each other one after another. Although the latter did not overshadow the former, it was gradually influenced by the former.
One day, Jiang Yan came to a quiet and peaceful forest.
He changed into his green gown again and sat quietly in front of the stream with a fishing rod without bait in front of him.
The ends of his hair hanging down on his temples were playfully swayed by the wind, sometimes blocking his eyes and sometimes tickling his cheeks, but he seemed unaffected and continued to quietly watch the flowing stream.
His face was as calm as a pool of still water, as if the hustle and bustle of the world had nothing to do with him.
His eyes were like a deep, dark ancient well, empty and confused. Although the surrounding scenes were reflected in his eyes, it seemed as if nothing had entered them.
There were gurgling streams, chirping birds and fragrant flowers all around him, but he sat there quietly, unaware of anything.
The body seems to be integrated with the world, but it is out of tune with the world, and there is a sense of separation.
"Master...Master? Master!"
After three consecutive sounds, Jiang Yan finally reacted and turned his head to look.
The girl next to him looked at him worriedly, appearing very anxious.
"Master, you just got stuck again. Shen Ming called you many times but you didn't respond~"
There was some resentment and concern in her tone, and Jiang Yan smiled apologetically.
"No, I was just thinking about something just now so I was absent-minded and made Ming'er worried."
"Hmph, poor Master has gone insane and can only rely on Shen Ming to support his life. If one day Shen Ming gets tired of taking care of Master, Master will just have to wait for death alone."
Jiang Yan smiled faintly and didn't care about Shen Ming's tone. After all, he really couldn't do without Shen Ming now and needed Shen Ming to help him achieve his goals.
Now he has given up subjective thinking and chooses to abide by the content that has been formulated long ago, looking for the immortal bone. Any other emotions are suppressed, so he becomes dull and wooden.
Although Shen Ming had always wanted to dissuade and stop him, he did not really stop him from doing it. On the contrary, as long as he needed it, Shen Ming would spare no effort to help him.
So Jiang Yan just let Shen Ming nag him.
As he was speaking, Shen Ming suddenly said:
"Master, haven't you always said that you are not from this world and you have always been looking for a way home?"
Jiang Yan frowned slightly.
"Ah? Did I...say that?"
Shen Ming narrowed his eyes slightly but replied as if it was a matter of course:
"Of course I have. Could it be that Master has forgotten it?"
"Yeah, I guess..."
Jiang Yan responded softly, but his eyes were confused and slow, as if he hadn't remembered it.
Shen Ming said angrily again:
"I have been with you for a year and have thought about a lot and tried to persuade you for a long time, but you are just a stubborn donkey! No matter how I persuade you, it doesn't work!"
"So Shen Ming has also figured it out and won't persuade Master anymore. If you think it exists, then it exists. Even if it is a fictional fantasy, Shen Ming will help you to make it happen."
"Master, don't you always want to prove it to Shen Ming? Then Shen Ming will give Master a chance to prove it. I can help you~"
Jiang Yan was a little embarrassed when he first heard this, but then he was shocked! He grabbed Shen Ming's fair hand and said:
"Ming'er, you must believe in your master!"
Shen Ming's eyes were curved, and those sapphire-like eyes were shining with an inexplicable luster, like a cunning fox~
He grabbed Jiang Yan's wrist with his backhand.
"Of course, but the premise of all this is that Master proves it to Shen Ming~"
"Master, you want the immortal bone. Shen Ming has found it for you. We will set off to where we are going. Then it will depend on how Master proves it to Shen Ming~"
Jiang Yan was so excited that he wanted to give Shen Ming a big kiss, but he was very restrained so he just cheered twice, opened his arms like a little child and spun Shen Ming 360 degrees!
"Hahaha! That's great! Ming'er, just support your teacher! Hahaha!"
Shen Ming was naturally very happy. As long as Jiang Yan was happy, she would be happy too. But~ this time she was not that happy~
"Master, are you really that determined to go back?"
"Haha... since you want to go back so much, Shen Ming has to disappoint you~"
"You can only stay with Shen Ming and can't go anywhere~"
…………
Shen Ming got a flying boat from the sect, and it was a pretty cool looking one.
The whole is full of light and the rhyme of Taoism emanating from it makes Jiang Yan, a small loser monk, amazed (Jiang Yan is lost)
Only Shen Ming could get a flying magic weapon of this level, and if a marginal figure like him didn't benefit from his apprentice, he would probably only see it a few times in his life.
After getting on the flying boat, Jiang Yan embarked on the journey "home".
According to Shen Ming, the immortal bones are buried somewhere in the Netherworld, and the destination of their trip is also the Netherworld.
So, one month later...
………………
Jiang Yan's eyes trembled slightly, and he raised his fingers with difficulty and then fell down again. His lips were red and purple, and some places were even cracked.
He slowly opened his eyes, as if he had exhausted all his strength. His eyes were filled with confusion and fatigue, as if he had just escaped from a long and painful dream.
The vision went from dim to blurry and then to clear, and it took a long time before it gradually focused.
What caught my eye was the black and gold curtains that completely covered the bed.
Jiang Yan supported himself with his hands and slowly stood up. Every movement seemed so difficult and strenuous, as if he had not moved for a long time. His joints also made crackling sounds as if they were rusted.
"We're here~"
Jiang Yan didn't care about the physical changes and cognitive confusion at the moment, because he had now abandoned his subjective consciousness and suppressed the flow of emotions, and only pursued his goal and persisted in searching...
And this is why he needs Shen Ming's help, because he is really... stupid and dumb... and can easily die...
He opened the curtains, and the dazzling light hitting his face made him subconsciously close his eyes and put his hands in front of his eyes, looking a little helpless.
At this moment, a warm and soft hand fell on his face.
"Master~Don't panic, Shen Ming is here~"
"Ming...Ming'er...is that you? Are we in the Nether Dust Region now?"
Jiang Yan had no doubts, even though he couldn't see clearly who was in front of him, he still subconsciously held the other person's hand and asked anxiously.
With a satisfied and morbid smile on his face, Shen Ming walked up to Jiang Yan, gently held him in his arms and rubbed his head.
"It's okay, Master. We're already here."
"But before that, Shen Ming wants to help Master take a bath. Master hasn't taken a bath for such a long time that her body stinks~"
Jiang Yan finally relaxed a little, closed his eyes slightly and nodded obediently.
"Um……"
In the past year, Shen Ming also often gave him baths, but they were always in the form of medicinal baths.
Because of his poor talent, weak physique and low cultivation, Shen Ming often collects various rare treasures to complement his own talents.
Because he couldn't persuade her and couldn't bear to see her so tired, Jiang Yan had to accept it. (No brain)
The same is true at this moment...
