Chapter 169 Disciple
Three months later.
"Remember, don't tell anyone my whereabouts, just say I'm dead." Shi Zhiyuan warned.
He was leaving, following the path of those who had gone before him.
This is the ancestral motto and mission of their Shi family. They will not be cut off when they come to him, nor will they live in this world. What if there is a wider world in the mist?
The information brought back by the ancestors was too little.
The descriptions of people who came back alive were generally the same, and they probably went to the same place.
He doesn't ask to go further, but he hopes he won't stand still.
Whether he can come back or not is no longer important.
When he decided to take this step, the God of Death surrounded him. Even if he came back here, he would die in a very short time.
Moreover, people in mountain villages probably won’t ask too much.
After all, the Shi family has been one and the same for the past thousand years. There are no three generations living under the same roof. Every time you reach fifty, you will definitely die, so everyone can just understand it tacitly.
"Okay." Shitou said.
He had predicted three months ago that such a day would come, but now that it had actually arrived, he felt much calmer inside, without the surprise at the beginning.
He glanced at the stone with mixed emotions, then walked with heavy steps into the mist from a trail.
Soon, Shi Shi will be the only one left in the Shi family, just like him.
One day, two days...
In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed.
Neighbors who came to see Shi Zhiyuan had some ideas in their minds when they saw that Shi Shiyuan had been taking Shi Zhiyuan's place to treat them.
"Shitou, has Dr. Shi left?" a neighbor asked quietly.
Shitou glanced at him and smiled slightly, neither admitting nor denying.
Seeing his appearance, the neighbor immediately understood something, looked a little sad, and then left.
In their hearts, they were very clear.
This is the Shi family, where the old and the new alternate, and there are always people working hard in front of them.
A strange smell spread in the mountain village, and some villagers spontaneously placed some lotus lanterns by the river.
If you don’t erect a monument, you won’t move the soil.
The past is past, there is no need to recall anything. Maybe in another thirty to fifty years, there will be no trace of Shi Zhiyuan’s existence. And by that time, Shi Tou will also follow Shi Zhiyuan’s footsteps and embark on an unknown journey.
But will things really develop like this?
After spending the past half month calmly, his heart began to feel agitated again. Whether it was Shi Zhiyuan, Shi Wanwan, or those pictures that appeared in his mind from time to time, he wanted to take a look in the mist.
According to the ancient records of the Shi family, he may also be an outsider. This place does not belong to him. He wants to leave and find what he has lost. Even if the road is difficult and dangerous, it cannot stop him.
And during this time, he found a young man to teach the other party herbal medicine.
Perhaps it was because of this world that I learned that this place was about to lose the inheritor of the medical scriptures. The other person learned very quickly. In half a month, he had already understood a few things, and the rest needed time to accumulate.
There is no such thing as poor understanding among people from mountain villages.
If any warriors from the sect came here, they would probably be so happy that they couldn't open their mouths from ear to ear. Geniuses that are hard to find in a thousand years are everywhere here, but it's a pity that they have been bound here all their lives.
"Master Shitou, are you leaving?" Fang Yu asked.
He is the young man Shitou found, a young man around twenty years old with strong learning ability.
Just now, Shitou told him that he had learned herbal medicine, and all that was left was to practice it, and he had to walk the road ahead by himself.
Fang Yu felt inexplicably sad. Doctor Shi was gone. Now, is even his master leaving? Is this the price paid for studying Materia Medica? Good people can't die well?
"Protect the mountain village well and don't let the medical tradition be interrupted." Shitou tapped his shoulder. From this moment on, Fang Yu will shoulder this heavy responsibility.
As for those books, he did not pass them on to Fang Yu, but destroyed them directly.
The price paid for those books is too heavy. Instead of going to die needlessly, it is better to live here for the rest of your life. There is no need for people to go to that place to die. Moreover, this is not considered a break, just changing a surname, guarding For a hundred thousand years here, the Shi family has paid enough price, and it will eventually come to an end.
And that place was so dangerous. If Fang Yu knew about it, would he still learn herbal medicine?
"Master." Fang Yu said, kneeling in front of the stone and bowing three times.
"Let's go, there's no need to come back." Shitou said.
Fang Yu felt deeply in his heart. These words meant that he would never be able to return to this place again. Maybe not even the stone would be seen in a while.
After going out, he turned around and bowed deeply, wiping his tears and leaving.
"What kind of place is Da Qin?" Shitou said quietly.
This was the image that appeared in his mind the most, and he could never remember where it was.
Tonight, he cooked a sumptuous dinner.
But he was the only one. Before, there were at least three people here. Unknowingly, everyone got separated. They went to infinite distances and could not find any trace of each other for the rest of their lives.
In the early morning, he picked up his packed luggage and walked step by step towards Dongshan Mountain with the morning dew. That place once gave him a different feeling, as if there was the answer he wanted on the other side of the mountain.
"Master." Fang Yu muttered softly from behind.
What worried him the most was Shitou. He stayed behind the house all night. When he saw Shitou heading towards the scariest area of Dongshan, he couldn't help but feel worried.
What was the reason that made his master resolutely go to that place even at the cost of his life?
No one could give him an answer, so he stared at the stone silently.
He wanted to call out to the other party, but he couldn't.
If I had no worries, would I be able to enter there like the master?
Suddenly, he felt that the burden on him was heavier.
In the absence of the master, he is the only doctor in the village. Everyone depends on him for life, old age, sickness and death. Even if he wants to join, he must train a qualified disciple.
On this day, the village was heavy.
The stone disappeared and was replaced by Fang Yu. Before this, Fang Yu had also shown it to them, but there was always a stone beside it. Now that the stone is missing, it is difficult not to think too much.
"Xiaoyu, your master..."
"I don't know, maybe he went to see his wife." Fang Yu said, his eyes a little red.
Everyone heard the words and remained silent.
Shi Wanwan is already dead. If you want to find her, don't you have to die to find her? It's hard for anyone to have such things happen one after another in such a short period of time.
