Repugnant Gateway

Chapter 1406 – Tears

An Zheng sat there and thought for a long time, seriously considering what Pu Nong had said to him. Most of the words were very simple, but if one were to carefully think about it, one would realize that there were many truths contained within. This was the simplest and most basic of all truths.

“What was your era like?”

An Zheng could not help but ask.

Pu Nong was slightly startled, as if he did not expect An Zheng to ask such a question.

“My era …” It shouldn’t be too different from the current world. If one must say that it is different, then it should be … It was relatively simpler. The pursuits of my generation were not as many as they are now. Most people only pursued one word: live. After all, there were no true cultivators at that time. Filling their stomachs and avoiding the beasts’ attacks were the best days to survive. Cultivators nowadays only seek for two words, which is similar to the meaning of life … “Longevity.”

An Zheng nodded.

Cultivators who did not pursue longevity could not be considered qualified cultivators.

“You have already been reincarnated in time. Do you understand my enemy?”

“You finally asked.”

Pu Nong smiled, giving An Zheng a very dependable feeling.

Then, Pu Nong seriously replied, “I don’t understand.”

An Zheng: “I’m a little not used to you suddenly being so mischievous.”

Pu Nong smiled and said, “What I understand are myself, and my own reincarnations. If everyone could see others on the path of rebirth, then wouldn’t it be a mess? Because of you, second generation Da Chi relied on his own strength to change the trajectory of time in the Chaotic Storm Space. He is precisely that fulcrum, and we are all people who passed by on that fulcrum, thus were able to see each other. ”

An Zheng replied with an “oh”, a bit disappointed.

Pu Nong said: “This is your own affair, you might not be able to rely on anyone else.”

An Zheng asked: “Am I the unlucky one.”

“How could that be? I gave you the luck of eight lifetimes in nine lifetimes of reincarnation. How could you be the unlucky one?” You just … The one with no choice. The strongest ability that the Da Chi of the second life possessed was only enough to allow you to reincarnate into nine lifetimes. You are the last reincarnation of your life, you have no choice. ”

An Zheng replied, “If you say that, then I no longer have any respect for the previous eight generations.”

Pu Nong laughed: “I just wanted to let you relax a little. What we are doing our best is just doing our best, that’s all. If he could do it, then he had no qualms about it. We have never let down others. If we do it, no one will know that you are the one who protected everyone. Even if you did, there wouldn’t be many people who would be grateful to you. They only felt that your cultivation was the strongest, and that you would naturally have to fend off this calamity. “You don’t have to care about the opinions of so many people. You just care about your own.”

An Zheng replied, “How about I give up?”

Pu Nong: “This mentality isn’t right …”

An Zheng laughed, then cupped his fists and bowed. “Many thanks.”

He got up and walked outside.

What Pu Nong did not give him was power, it could directly increase his cultivation realm. However, what was given to him was even more valuable than direct force. It was part of the answer. With these answers, An Zheng’s goal became even clearer. Moreover, the things that Pu Nong had told him, such as drawing power from the real world, were even more precious.

“Aren’t you going to eat more?”

Pu Nong suddenly said.

An Zheng: “I’m already full.”

Pu Nong smiled and said: “The food I make, you might only be able to eat it once in your entire life, so it’s better to eat more.”

An Zheng turned around and glanced at the steamed buns and dishes. After a moment of silence, he returned to his chair and sat back down, continuing to eat. He lowered his head and gobbled up the remaining six or seven steamed buns and dishes in one go.

“That’s good.”

As Pu Nong sat there, his face had unknowingly turned slightly pale, and he looked even more haggard and weak than when he first saw him. An Zheng did not notice it at the beginning, but now, when he thought back to it, he realized that Pu Nong’s condition had become worse and worse since he entered. On the surface, he still looked calm, and even before An Zheng prepared to leave, he still had the mood to make a few jokes. But at this very moment, Pu Nong seemed to already have the feeling of rapidly aging.

“My hair was still black before you came.”

Pu Nong stood up while supporting himself up from the table, and walked to the bronze mirror in the room that was not too flat, and looked at himself: “I told you just now, that this life of mine actually has nothing to do with the grudges between you two. But, in the end, I’m still you. Da Chi dug me out from such a long time ago because he didn’t want me to peacefully sleep … When you found your second life’s Da Chi, he gave you an almost indestructible bone. And Fang Zheng, had given you the ability and cultivation method that he had comprehended that belonged to you. Both of them have already done their best, so how can I just give you an answer? ”

An Zheng: “You can’t do this.”

“I can.”

Pu Nong raised his hand and gently caressed his white hair, “I should have died a long time ago. Besides, I didn’t leave nothing for myself. I made nine steamed buns in total and ate one myself. That was some strength that I left for myself. I still want to live until the moment when you defeat the enemy.

“As for the rest, all of my insights, experiences, understandings towards this world, and the roots of all living things, they are all in those eight steamed buns. Remember what I just said? You have no choice, because you are already in the ninth reincarnation cycle. But we have no choice. “Whatever I can give you, I’ll give it to you …”

He turned around and smiled. He didn’t look likandsome young man anymore, but a middle-aged man with wrinkles on his forehead. Under his white hair, his face looked even older.

“Let’s go. You have to hurry. I don’t have much left for myself. So you have to hurry, and when you win, come back and see me. The grave I used to have should have been pretty good. In my time, the people loved and respected me, and they called me their father. Because I did something for them, at least let a lot of people know what to eat and what not to eat. People had to do something meaningful in order to live. “We …”

He pointed at himself, then pointed at An Zheng: “No matter how many lives we live, we are all different from the masses.”

An Zheng nodded his head, his eyes filled with tears.

Pu Nong waved his hands: “Hurry up and go, stop looking at me, who doesn’t haveart of beauty? Do you know how many young and beautiful women looked up to me in my time? I’m proud, I like whoever I like. “With my current appearance, if you were to see it, wouldn’t I die of shame if other people were to see it …”

An Zheng acknowledged his as he stood there with both of his hands trembling.

“Get lost.”

Pu Nong turned around and no longer looked at An Zheng, “Go and do what you have to do. You have already met Fang Zheng, second life’s Da Chi, and met me. “Actually, you don’t have much time left. It just depends on whether you are faster or that guy is faster.”

An Zheng bowed deeply, then turned around and left. The moment he turned around and left, tears flowed out from the corners of his eyes.

An Zheng did not turn his head and walked forward with large strides, the light behind him becoming weaker and weaker. He did not even notice that he had walked out of the bronze door. The door creaked as it closed, completely sealing the light inside. The moment the door closed, An Zheng’s body involuntarily trembled.

When Du Shoushou and Chen Shaobai saw that An Zheng had come out, they immediately went to welcome him. Seeing that An Zheng’s expression was not good, Du Shoushou patted his shoulders: “Nothing much, even if this time we did not reap any rewards, we still have a next time.”

Chen Shaobai: “That’s right, it’s a small matter.”

An Zheng shook his head: “I obtained a lot.”

Du Shoushou and Chen Shaobai looked at each other, and suddenly, the two of them understood the sorrow in An Zheng’s eyes. For a moment, Chen Shaobai did not know what to say. After being stunned for a good while, he pulled An Zheng’s arm: “I even left two big waists for you …”

An Zheng: “I really can’t eat anymore …”

The three of them were momentarily speechless. At this moment, the underwater corridor suddenly began to shake violently. The three of them immediately reacted and sped off in the direction they came from. The underwater gallery began to collapse, and open boulders came crashing down from above. They broke down all the way, and when they looked back into the water, there was nothing there. When he rushed out of the water and landed on the shore, An Zheng squatted there and hugged his head and cried like a child.

The monkey did not know what had happened. It looked at An Zheng crying in such a miserable and anxious manner, and then grabbed onto Du Shoushou’s clothes. “What did you two do to him!?”

Du Shoushou: “Brother, what time is it? Your head is full of sh * t.”

Chen Shaobai: “Aime like this, I actually didn’t want to laugh.”

After An Zheng finished crying, he stood up and took a big step forward: “I have business to attend to.”

“What happened to him?”

Monkey looked at the abnormal An Zheng and asked. Du Shoushou shook his head: “I don’t know, he didn’t say.”

An Zheng said as he walked, “I met an old friend underwater who left after meeting me.”

Monkey: “You just randomly walk intiver and you meet an old friend?”

An Zheng: “Just say something else … Senior Chen, go and see if we can rescue his family. What did Xu Fu find in the past, and what did he leave behind, we don’t have much time left. ”

They did not continue asking because they knew very well that An Zheng would definitely tell them when he wanted to say it himself. They found Old Chen among the crowd, then they discovered that he was completely dumbfounded, standing there in a daze, thinking it was a wooden stake.

“What’s the matter with you?”

Du Shoushou ran over and pulled Old Chen. Old Chen made an ‘oh’ sound, and then mechanically turned his head to look at Du Shoushou: “Nothing else … It’s all gone. ”

“What’s gone?”

“My family.”

Old Chen suddenly squatted down and hugged his head as he cried, just like An Zheng who was by the river.
