"Hey?"
The girl looked up in a daze.
"Are you surprised? You see, your talent is indeed not suited to be a weapon refiner, but if you really want to, it's not insurmountable. Haven't you heard that nothing in this world is difficult if you put your mind to it?"
"But, but..."
Jiuwu seemed to have seen through something, smiled, and comforted him, "Talent is determined by heaven, but one's own achievements are determined by oneself. Whether to go with the flow or to go against the current, it is one's own choice. Even if it is going against the current, as long as one's will is firm and one overcomes countless difficulties, how can one not succeed?"
So, do you want to learn?
"……think."
Yes, even so, Yang Luoyi still wanted to learn.
"Good boy, good boy, come here, call me 'sir' first."
"gentlemen……"
She looked up slightly, and the man, bathed in sunlight, smiled gently, like a celestial being.
Chapter 329 Doomsday Prophecy
The town was bathed in intense sunlight.
Shi Guijia propped her chin up, glanced out the window with droopy eyelids, and scratched her arm in frustration.
That guy didn't come back at noon.
"Is she the type who looks well-behaved on the outside but is rebellious on the inside? Did she run away from home just because someone said a few words to her?"
My mood became even more irritable as the sun began to set.
Helpless, Shi Guijia got up and stepped out of the house. If she really ignored it, she would be the one who would get annoyed in the end.
The afternoon sun was still blazing, the streets were dotted with stalls, and the roadside vendors crowded together, creating a lively scene.
It seems like there are a lot of outsiders coming lately, and the town is much more crowded than before. A river runs through the streets, with a gray arched bridge over it. Shi Guijia stood on the arched bridge, looking at the crowd, feeling quite irritated.
Where did they go?
She thought, why don't I go to my sister's house to look for her? The child might be hiding there crying. With that in mind, she decided to go down the bridge.
Suddenly the crowd became noisy. Shi Guijia wanted to go down the bridge and cross the crowd, but she was pushed back. Just as she was about to get angry, she heard a commotion below the bridge.
"The end of the world is coming! Run! Run!"
He was a dirty beggar, unkempt and filthy, with grime on his face and clothes. He held a bamboo stick in his left hand and had burn scars all over his face, making it impossible to see his features.
"Run, run!"
The crowd that had been watching the spectacle frantically scattered to both sides. No one knew where this madman came from, and everyone was afraid that he might have some kind of infectious disease, so no one dared to approach him.
"Run, run."
As he spoke, he suddenly ran towards the bridge. The crowd receded like a tide, and Shi Guijia was caught off guard and grabbed by the beggar.
"..."
Just as she was about to beat the other person up, she heard them speak:
"Save...Save..."
"The world is going to end, the end of the world is coming, everyone is going to die, save..."
Shi Guijia frowned.
Those eyes hidden beneath the dirty hair didn't have the look of a madman; they were utterly calm.
But his behavior remained as erratic as ever.
"Doomsday... Doomsday..."
"The end of the world for everyone..."
"Run! Run!"
He suddenly let go of Shi Guijia's hand and walked dejectedly down the bridge.
"Run! Run!"
He walked unsteadily, his whole body swaying precariously.
Where did this lunatic come from?
Shi Guijia smacked her lips, guessing that there had been too many outsiders lately, to the point that even beggars had come.
The town isn't as xenophobic, which is perhaps why it's attracting more and more talented people.
She sighed for a moment, and just as she stepped off the bridge and was about to walk forward, she suddenly heard shouts from the crowd ahead.
"Aaaaaaaaaa!!!"
The beggar was now lying on the ground, curled up, bleeding profusely from his body. A little boy stood beside him, looking completely bewildered.
"You, you all saw it, I didn't touch him, and he suddenly became like this," the little boy tried his best to defend himself.
This was Liu Shaoheng, who had just finished talking with the old Taoist priest. He was in a bad mood and was thinking of taking a walk. When he saw the crowd surging over here, he thought he would join in the fun. But as soon as he squeezed through, a beggar collapsed next to him.
Extortion? The thought had barely crossed his mind when he saw the beggar begin to bleed from his entire body.
"Doomsday, doomsday..."
"The prediction is correct, it's the end of the world..."
The beggar's voice grew softer and softer, becoming indistinct. Liu Shaoheng neither heard it nor cared to listen; he was simply at a loss. Although he was a genius, this was the first time he had encountered something like this.
The crowd moved further and further away, and the people who had been screaming earlier fell silent. Clearly, no one intended to lend a hand. Shi Guijia stepped forward and squatted down under Liu Shaoheng's surprised gaze.
She placed her hand under the other person's nose and probed it.
"He's still breathing."
Shi Guijia looked up at the little boy and asked, "Where is the nearest clinic?"
To my shame, despite living here for several years, she spends her days in a drunken stupor and is not very familiar with any of the routes except the one for buying alcohol.
"I know, I know, I'll take you there!" Liu Shaoheng realized and quickly said.
Shi Guijia nodded, not caring about the dirt, and helped the beggar up, saying, "Lead the way."
"Over here!"
The two, one big and one small, walked towards the clinic under the watchful eyes of the crowd.
------------------
If she hadn't met this beggar and the so-called genius boy, none of the subsequent events would have happened. Shi Guijia would most likely have died in the daily life of being with her daughter and understanding each other, without worrying about anything else. Just as she said, she and her daughter would live together for the rest of their lives, and if that were the case, then everything else would be irrelevant to her.
When Shi Guijia came out of the clinic, her face was ashen. She noticed that Liu Shaoheng, the boy who had come with her, was still sitting on the threshold, lost in thought. When he saw her come out, he jumped up and rushed to her, asking, "How are you?"
"...You seem to care so much, do you know him?"
No, I don't know him.
"Then why do you care so much? In the end, this has nothing to do with you, right?"
This is true.
But perhaps because he had heard too much about death from the old Taoist priest today, Liu Shaoheng became unusually sensitive. He pursed his lips and said in a bad mood, "Auntie, do you have to ask so many questions? Can't you just tell me the result?"
Auntie, auntie...
Veins bulged on Shi Guijia's forehead. Over the years, no one had ever dared to call her that. If it were before, she probably would have taken out her magic weapon to teach the other person a lesson.
But now, she simply replied expressionlessly, "Dead."
"died?"
"Ah."
Neither of them spoke again.
"Dead, dead, how could he be dead?"
Liu Shaoheng murmured to himself.
This was probably the first time he had ever seen a living person turn into a dead one. Although he didn't know the beggar, he felt a strange sensation when Gui Jia said those words.
"Death!" The genius boy suddenly awoke, looked up at Shi Guijia, and asked, "Really dead?"
"Dead beyond dead."
Shi Guijia said without any emotional fluctuation, "It all turned into blood, and you can't even see a piece of flesh."
"What……"
Liu Shaoheng muttered incredulously.
Shi Guijia had no time to pay attention to the thoughts of this genius boy; her mind was filled with the words the beggar had just spoken before he died.
"...You, save..."
"I, I am, the protagonist, this world is going to..."
"Everything is nothingness, even the lady herself is fake..."
"Abandoned, abandoned..."
"I can't find her...the real her..."
"The end of the world is coming. We're all going to die, we're all going to die..."
At the last moment, Shi Guijia recognized the beggar.
During the weapon-forging competition, she had two formidable rivals, a husband and wife named Gan Jiang and Mo Xie. Both of them had caused her a great deal of trouble. At the time, she had a fiery temper and was preparing to have someone cripple the couple's limbs, but Yang Pingsheng stopped her.
“Xiaojia, don’t be like this. I don’t want your temper to control you again,” Yang Pingsheng said.
For this reason, she cancelled the plan. However, Mo Xie was a truly despicable woman who had provoked her more than once. Afterwards, she secretly used her power to drive the two of them out of the capital without Yang Pingsheng's knowledge.
That's all, but the couple still left a deep impression on her.
Since learning the truth about the world from Zhi Zixun, Shi Guijia has also learned about the villains and the protagonists. The villains are the opposite of the protagonists. However, when the male protagonist Gan Jiang appeared in front of her, she was not excited at all.
The only thing that made her feel conflicted was what the other person said before they died.
