C197 Hope and Disillusion
At this time, Liu Yiheng continued, "Old man, sometimes life and death can't be decided by oneself, but at the same time, it can't stop others from worrying about you. Since that's the case, why don't you let us go in and take a look?"2
After the old man heard what Liu Yiheng said, he paused for a moment and continued, "You are a member of the Liu Family, then this time you came …"
"It's fine to say that you have repaid the debt of gratitude. It's fine to say that it's for the Qingling City. But I think that the City Lord's Mansion needs you very much, right? "Therefore, this is to start with everything that has to do with the Liu Family, and you are the central point."
"Haha, you're still young, yet you're able to see so much. Very well, since that's the case, come in." After he finished speaking, the stone door automatically opened.
Liu Yiheng and Wen Jingyuan walked in with large strides. When they f * cking entered, they saw an old man with hair and a beard that was completely white, wearing a set of grey clothes sitting on a stone bed, facing them.
The old man's face did not look too good. He looked a bit ashen, with sunken eye sockets, and he looked a bit terrifying. However, this was normal. How could someone who had been tortured by poison for decades look any better?
Liu Yiheng clasped his hands at the old man, and then said: "Junior Liu Yiheng greets senior."
The old man smiled, then said: "Not bad, Brother Liu Lieyang actually had such an outstanding back, it is truly gratifying. But looking at you, it seems that Liu Changfeng is a little..."
"You've met my father?"
Your father is indeed a young hero, his talent and potential are both very good. It can be said that he's extremely talented, and you, ah, at such a young age, actually already cultivated to the Spiritual Scholar of the Other Shore Level realm. Your future prospects are limitless. "" Is that so? "" No, no …
Liu Yiheng laughed faintly, and then said: "Senior, I …"
The old man shook his hand and said, "Don't address me as senior's back. It sounds awkward to me, so just call me Grandpa Li. I'm about the same age as your grandfather, so if you call me that, you won't lose out."
Liu Yiheng nodded his head, then said: "Grandpa Li, it's like this. The lady beside me is called Wen Jingyuan, she is a Core Cultivator, so whether or not she can cure grandpa Li's poison will all depend on this lady."
The old man smiled and continued, "It doesn't matter. I don't have any hope now, so no matter what happens, I won't be disappointed. There is no hope, so the result can't affect me."
No one was willing to die, especially those methods of dying from poison. Li Fangzheng had tried many methods to treat poison before, and every time, he had always had strong hopes, but in the end, he still failed, and with the help of the Core Cultivator, at first, there was still a bit of effect, which made him have a lot of expectations. But the good news didn't last, those pills could only temporarily suppress the poison, they couldn't be cured.
With his hopes shattered time and time again and his hopes gone, the old man's heart became even more tenacious and calm. This also showed that the old man was normally in a very good mood, otherwise he might have already been tortured to madness by the despair and hope, but since he had let everything go, then naturally he would not care anymore.
Hearing Li Fangzheng's words, Wen Jingyuan laughed, and continued to speak: "Old grandpa, what you said is wrong, the treatment of patients depends on the patient's own cooperation, if the patient has the desire to live, then the chance will be higher. On the contrary, if a person has completely lost the desire to live, then even if they could cure the patient, they would not be able to, and such a patient would not be able to. Or perhaps it could be said that he is already determined to die. "
When Li Fangzheng heard this, he was stunned, but then he laughed and said, "Hehe, it's not that I don't have the desire to live, it's just that I don't have any hope of getting rid of the poison in my body.
"Of course I can understand that, but …"
Li Fangzheng laughed, then said: "Is that so. The greater the hope, the stronger the disappointment after failure." Then, he paused for a moment and continued, "I'm just looking down on life and death, but it doesn't mean that I don't have the desire to live. Then, he paused for a moment and then continued," I'm just looking down on life and death, but it doesn't mean that I don't have the desire to live.
