Starting From Douluo, Glory is Invincible

Chapter 705: Spiritualist

 “Thank you, senior.” Ying’s voice was low and powerful, revealing his inner sincerity and respect. He knew that this old man not only saved his and Zhang Tao's lives, but might also help him solve the mystery that had troubled him for a long time.

 The old man smiled slightly, and there was a hint of mystery and depth in that smile. "Young man, go to my room and bring me a jar of wine." He pointed to a small cabin not far away, his tone full of kindness and easy-going.

Ying nodded slightly, turned around and walked towards the hut. His steps were a little heavy, as if every step carried endless thoughts and expectations. The wooden door opened in response, and a cold wind blew out of the house, bringing with it a hint of coolness and moisture. Shadow walked in and glanced around the room.

 The furnishings in the house are simple, with a wooden table, a few chairs and a bed being all the belongings. There were some sundries piled up in the corner, and the wine jar the old man mentioned was quietly placed on the wooden table. Ying stepped forward and gently picked up the wine jar. At that moment, his heartbeat seemed to speed up a bit.

Just as he was about to leave, the wooden door was suddenly blown shut by the wind. Ying froze in place for a long time, and two lines of clear tears quietly dropped and blended into the soil under his feet. At that moment, his heart felt like being hit by a heavy hammer, and he was so painful that he couldn't breathe.

Although he had learned from the information in the library that his parents had died in the battlefield, he still did not want to believe this fact. He had been deceiving himself, telling himself that the history recorded by the victors was not true. There was still a glimmer of hope in his heart, hoping that his parents would come back alive and tell him that everything was fine.

 But now, the appearance of this old man forced him to face reality. The old man had no reason to lie, and he had no reason to deceive himself anymore. His parents were really gone, they had left him forever.

Ying walked out with the wine jar in his arms and gently placed the wine jar on the stone table. His eyes were dull, as if he had lost his soul. Zhang Tao looked at him a little worried but didn't know what to say to comfort him.

"Grandpa, why do you live here?" Zhang Tao tried to change the subject to break the silent and depressing atmosphere. He looked at the old man and asked, "You look so powerful, especially when I just killed that monkey, I didn't even think about it." I saw how you moved your hands. Isn't there the Yongri Empire in front of this mountain range? According to your strength, you can make a lot of money by going to the Yongri Empire."

 The old man smiled slightly when he heard this. He knew that Zhang Tao was trying to relieve the depressing atmosphere. He did not answer Zhang Tao's question directly but said slowly: "I don't care about money anymore. As for living here, it is because it is clean and few people come to disturb you."

“But grandpa, since you are so powerful, wouldn’t it be a waste to live here?” Zhang Tao asked with some confusion.

"Powerful? Hahaha!" The old man suddenly laughed. His laughter revealed a trace of vicissitudes and helplessness. "Do you think that because you are powerful, you can do whatever you want? Can you control everything? Wrong! The more powerful you are, the greater your responsibility. Sometimes I would rather be an ordinary person and live a carefree life." The old man said with a hint of depth and distance in his eyes, as if he was recalling the past. Ying and Zhang Tao fell into deep thought after listening to the old man's words. They seemed to understand something but not particularly clearly.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore." The old man waved his hand and interrupted the two people's meditation. "Don't you want to know about the punishment? I will tell you right now."

The old man's words lifted the spirits of Ying and Zhang Tao. They knew that what the old man was going to tell next would be a legendary story about punishment. They sat quietly at the stone table and listened to the old man's story, as if they had returned to that legendary era.

 The old man began to talk about his encounter with Xing and the various adventures and challenges they had experienced together. Together they fight against evil forces to protect the peace and tranquility of their homeland. Xing has become a hero in the hearts of countless people with his outstanding spiritual skills and firm beliefs. His story has been passed down orally and has become a legend in the hearts of generations.

In the old man's narration, Ying and Zhang Tao seemed to have witnessed those thrilling battle scenes and felt Xing's bravery and determination. They cheered for Xing's victory and wept for his sacrifice. When the old man recounted the moment when Xing Zhan died, their hearts became heavy and sad again.

"Xing was really a great spiritualist and a hero worthy of respect." The old man said with emotion. "His passing makes us all feel regret and sorrow. But his spirit and career have been inherited by us. We will continue to fight for justice and peace."

Ying and Zhang Tao were filled with respect and emotion when they heard what the old man said. They know that although Xing has left, his spirit and career will always remain in people's hearts, inspiring countless people to pursue justice and peace one after another.

 As night falls, the stars shine brightly. After the old man finished telling the story, the three of them sat quietly at the stone table and silently remembered the great hero. At this moment, their hearts seemed to be sublimated and baptized. They understood what true bravery and determination were, and what true justice and peace were.

Ying stood up holding the wine jar and bowed deeply to the old man: "Thank you for telling us these stories. We will remember Xing's greatness and sacrifice and work hard to pursue our dreams and goals."

Zhang Tao also stood up. He looked at the old man with eyes full of respect and gratitude: "Grandpa, thank you! You not only saved us but also made us understand so many truths. We will definitely work hard to become stronger in the future to protect those People who need help."
