Stumbling and dusty along the way, the sound of rapid footsteps pierced the silence of the village. Ignoring the dust and exhaustion all over their bodies, a few people rushed like crazy into the low and dilapidated hut of the young sister.
The room was small and cramped, with very poor lighting. Even though it was daytime, the room was still dark and gloomy. The air was filled with the strong and bitter smell of medicinal residues, mixed with a lingering, heart-wrenching air of death, which weighed heavily on everyone's heart. The furnishings in the room were extremely simple, with only a mottled and worn wooden bed, a wooden table with missing corners and legs supported by stones, and nothing else.
On the bed, the woman who had been going deep into the miasma area of Mountain Range of Magical Beasts all year round to collect medicines had long been eroded by the accumulated miasma, making her skinny and out of shape. Her cheeks were deeply sunken, and her cheekbones were high and her face was originally simple. At this moment, he was as gray as dead paper, with no trace of blood in sight, his eyes were tightly closed, and the ups and downs of his chest were extremely weak, as if a gust of wind could blow them away. He was only relying on the last weak ray of life to support him. He was dying and would be completely cut off at any time and fall into the underworld.
Looking at her sister with this appearance in front of her, Xiaoyuan felt like she was nailed to the spot, and the blood all over her body solidified instantly. Countless dusty childhood fragments exploded in her mind, and the past events were as clear as if they happened yesterday--
When he was a child, his family was so poor that he was often too poor to open the pot. Hungry was a common occurrence. At this time, his sister would hold his young hand and run all over the mountains and fields, picking wild fruits that could satisfy his hunger, digging for wild vegetables, and stuffing all the biggest and sweetest wild fruits into his hands. Here; occasionally during holidays at home, my sister would get a little bit of dry food and a piece of whole grain cake in exchange for a little bit of dry food, but my sister never wanted to take a bite of it. Even if she was so hungry that her stomach growled, she would secretly hide it and leave it all to him. Only when she saw him eating was she smiled with satisfaction.
Later, her sister got married, and her husband's family was also poor and had a hard time living. But she still thought about her brother all the time. She lived frugally and was not willing to spend any money on herself. However, she saved money from time to time to buy Xiaoyuan new clothes that fit well, and never let him be looked down upon outside.
Throughout her life, from the time she was young to the time she got married, she had worked hard for her family and devoted herself to her loved ones. She always left the best for others and the suffering for herself. There was never a day when she lived for herself.
Xiaoyuan froze beside the bed, his whole body shaking violently uncontrollably, his shoulders kept shaking, and his throat seemed to be strangled tightly by an invisible hand, making it impossible to make any sound. He did not cry heartbreakingly., there was no wailing of collapse and madness, and he just stood there quietly, but the hot tears were like broken beads, rolling down uncontrollably, hitting his clothes hard along his pale cheeks, and leaving a dark tear stain.
It turns out that true great compassion is always silent;
The real heart-breaking pain is that even the strength to cry loudly has been exhausted, and even the voice to express grief is powerless.
The dying woman on the bed seemed to have sensed the arrival of her dear brother, and struggled to open her eyelids, which weighed as much as a thousand pounds. Her turbid, bloodshot eyes barely focused on Xiaoyuan, using up the last bit of strength in her body. Her chapped lips trembled slightly, her voice was as light as a candle in the wind, and her breath was like a gossamer, but every word revealed the deepest concern and relief for her family:
"Xiaoyuan... You are here... live well... and take good care of your parents from now on..."
"You have finally grown up and can take charge of your own business, and I... feel at ease..."
"I'm not afraid of death. Everyone will die. I've already looked away from it... But what I'm afraid of is that if I leave, you will not have a good life here, and you will be wronged and suffered..."
"A long time ago, I knew that my body was ruined by collecting herbs in the miasma all year round. But my family is too poor and I have three young children to support. I cannot and cannot afford to spend this money... I have to leave the money to the children so that they can have enough food and clothing... Your brother-in-law, he is honest and has no great abilities. I can't drag him down anymore..."
"I have been poor and toiling all my life, and have never enjoyed a day of happiness. When I came to this world, my only thought and greatest happiness was to leave behind three children and see them healthy..."
"In the future, if you live a comfortable life and have energy, please help my children more; if you are really in trouble... forget it, I don't blame you, they, and their father are with them..."
Her voice became softer and weaker, but her eyes were unusually calm. There was no fear or reluctance towards death, only a deep and inseparable nostalgia and concern for her family, her children, and this mortal world that was full of suffering but that she couldn't let go of.
On the side, Shiheng stood quietly in the corner, his body aura restrained and silent, but at this moment, his Dao Heart was like being struck by a shocking thunder, shaking violently!
At this moment, there is no earth-shattering fight between gods and demons, no thunderous roar of the collision of rules, no intrigues on the path of spiritual practice, only the lowest and most ordinary mortal woman, at the last moment of her life coming to an end, showing selfless concern for her loved ones and indifference to life and death.
The shackles of Death Law that had troubled Shiheng for a long time suddenly became clear at this moment!
He suddenly had an epiphany and discovered the true meaning of life and death:
Everyone in the world is afraid of death, seeing it as the ultimate fear and end. But death has never been something that needs to be feared. It is the reincarnation of life, the letting go of obsessions, and the last tender confession to the world and loved ones. Facing life and death head-on, without fear or fear, and calmly relieved, is the true essence of Death Law.
Dao Heart is transparent and enlightenment comes true!
With the realization of this thought, the power of Death Law that had been dormant for a long time in Shiheng suddenly exploded! The violent power of rules surged and roared in his meridians, perfectly resonating with the worldly atmosphere full of separation between life and death, care and relief around him. His perception of Death Law seemed to have broken away from all the shackles, soaring and soaring at a terrifying speed -
Eighty percent, eighty-two percent, eighty-seven percent, ninety percent...
It's still going on, unstoppable, without any hindrance!
In the end, when an invisible barrier suddenly shattered, it broke through the limit directly and stabilized at 99% perfection! There is only a chance to completely cross the threshold and step into God realm!
Shiheng slowly lowered his head, his eyes falling on this ordinary but great woman on the bed, with a hint of gratitude in his eyes.
It was this woman from the bottom who worked hard for her family all her life and faced life and death without fear. She used her humblest, truest and purest life joys and sorrows and life and death choices to enlighten his Great Way and help him push Death Law to the top.
With a thought in my mind, Shiheng flicked my fingertips without any ripples.
A Life Law power that was so pure and so rich that it turned into a light green brilliance silently and gently poured into the woman's body.
This is the Life Law Divine Power that he realized 99% Perfection, which contains endless vitality and creation. Not to mention the mortal woman in front of him, even Advanced Warrior who was seriously injured and dying and on the verge of losing his soul, could be healed instantly and be alive and kicking when wrapped by this Divine Power.
The next second, a shocking miracle happened in this dilapidated hut!
The woman's face, which was as gray as dead paper and lifeless, quickly lost its lifelessness at a speed visible to the naked eye, and became rosy and red little by little, becoming full and shiny again;
The breath that was originally so weak that it was almost dead, like a gossamer, instantly became smooth, long, and powerful, just like an ordinary person's;
The body that was originally skinny and damaged by the miasma gradually filled up, the skin regained color and vitality, and the pain and damage all over the body were completely repaired in an instant;
The pair of dull, dull eyes that were so heavy that they could no longer be opened slowly and completely opened. All the turbidity in the eyes was dissipated, and they regained a lively and healthy look. The whole person seemed to have become several years younger in an instant, and felt completely comfortable. There was no trace of him looking like he was dying!
But in just a few breaths, this woman, who had already been sentenced to death by the doctor and had one foot in Ghost Gate, was actually brought back to life by this ray of Shiheng Life Law Divine Power, completely healed and intact as before!
