Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 1539 (One Thousand Five Hundred Thirty Nine) Two

Wu Xunsheng said: "Some things are indeed not easy to fade away with the passage of time."

Taoist Priest Jingxi said, "I thought about what you said to me just now outside. You said, 'As long as a person leaves this world, all pain will stop. All pain in the world can be stopped, whether it is pain in the heart or not.' I was wondering if the pain that has been integrated into my life can really only stop at the end of my life."

Wu Xunsheng regretted what he said at this time, and said: "Mr. Chen, I just said it casually, without thinking much. What I said may not make sense at all... Maybe Mr. Chen will feel different after talking about it. Since Mr. Chen doesn't know where to start, how about I ask Mr. Chen a question?"

Taoist Priest Jingxi said, "You ask."

"Can I ask questions about these paintings?" Wu Xunsheng asked.

Taoist Priest Jingxi said, "Of course."

Wu Xunsheng pointed to one of the paintings and asked, "The person in the painting looks like she is performing a ritual. Is she also an alchemist?" Wu Xunsheng said.

"Yes. She is Shan Xia Jing, my senior sister, one year older than me, and also an alchemist. Many years ago, her magic skills reached a level that ordinary alchemists could not reach. Those paintings were all drawn by me. Every time I draw, I feel like I see her. I often imagine what it would be like if she could live to this day and live in her room on Jingxi Mountain." Jingxi alchemist said, "However, I also know that if she were still alive, I might not have lived on Jingxi Mountain all these years."

Taoist Priest Jingxi paused for a moment, looked at Wu Xunsheng and said, "Now that you've asked me this question, I think I finally know how to say what's hidden in my heart."

After being led by Wu Xunsheng, Taoist Jingxi, who originally found it difficult to speak out, began to speak out.

Wu Xunsheng said: "Then please continue, Master Chen."

Taoist Priest Jingxi said "hmm".
He looked at the paintings in the room and said, "Xia Jing is not only my senior sister, but also the person I love deeply in my life. You see, there are two copies of many things in this room. Although I live alone on the mountain, I always think of Xia Jing as living here as well. You and I are sitting at this table now. The reason why there are two chairs here is because I prepared one for her. I often sit here, pour two glasses of water, put some food on the table, sit on one of the chairs, look over the other chair, and talk to her as if she were sitting there. Sometimes, when I ask her something, it's as if I really hear her answer. No one else has been here for a long time. Today you came here and sat opposite me, so I don't have to imagine that there is someone talking to me here."

Wu Xunsheng said: "If Master Chen trusts me enough, I can listen to Master Chen's talk when I can't go down the mountain and don't do anything else in the days ahead."

"Okay, then I won't have to talk to myself in this room these days." Taoist priest Jingxi said, "I was busy talking about my own business and I haven't brought you a piece of paper yet. Please write down what you want to say on the paper first, and I will continue to talk to you. If the people who came with you come here to look for you, I can also use magic to let them see what you wrote."

After Wu Xunsheng said "OK", Taoist Jingxi said, "Come with me to the study."
