C2016 De Facto Unsolvability
Jiang Ting sensed that the person who caused the obsession was in the village, so he changed his direction and started to approach the person.
Originally, just by scanning it with his spiritual will, he had come to understand … However, the eye of the Heavenly Dao was there. Although the eyes could not tell that he was Jiang Ting, Jiang Ting still followed the principle of caution. He would not use his spiritual will if he did not use it, in case the eyes of the Heavenly Dao congealed the heavenly calamity again.
What confused him was that before the divine retribution had gathered endless amounts of lightning, it did not seem to have been noticed in the village or outside the village at all. He did not know if it was because they were used to it or if it was just because they were unable to detect the divine retribution that was directed at him.
Soon, Jiang Ting arrived at the target house.
It was a thatched hut surrounded by a wooden fence. If he didn't jump, he wouldn't be able to see what was going on inside.
When he got closer, Jiang Ting was about to knock on the door, but the moment he stretched out his hand, he froze... The aura of death, the aura of imminent death.
Even if he intentionally withdrew his perception, even if he intentionally retracted his spiritual will, he could still sense that the person inside was about to die, dying of old age.
He was, after all, a Deity of the eighth rank. Even though he intentionally concealed his senses, he was still able to clearly sense his surroundings from so close a distance.
Was the person who stirred up the obsession going to die?
Was his obsession that he didn't want to die?
Jiang Ting still knocked on the door after a while.
"Dong, dong, dong …" The three knocks sounded rather orderly.
"Who is it …"
An old voice sounded in the yard with the wooden fence. Then, Jiang Ting heard a "rustle" sound. It was obvious that Jiang Ting was approaching the gate.
Jiang Ting's expression did not change: "I'm a passing by traveler. I want to get a drink of water from old sir, I wonder if it's convenient."
"Wait a moment." As soon as he finished speaking, the door opened, revealing a skinny old man with white hair and a beard. Jiang Ting could clearly sense the smell of decay emitting from the old man.
The old man was dying, and his life was coming to an end?
"Young one, come in." The old man smiled.
I cupped my hands in thanks, "Thank you, Old sir."
"Nothing." The old man smiled and turned around to give Jiang Ting a gourd-shaped ladle of water.
"Gulp..." Jiang Ting drank very quickly as if he was extremely thirsty.
The old man hurriedly said, "Youngster, drink slowly. Stop choking."
Jiang Ting wiped the corner of his mouth and cupped his hands: "Thank you, sir!"
The old man slightly shook his head. "You are too courteous as a junior."
Then, the old man approached a wooden rattan chair in the courtyard and laid down on it, silently looking at the sky.
If it was anyone who passed by, they would have left already. However, Jiang Ting … He was only looking for the leader of the group to get closer, so he naturally could not leave.
Therefore, Jiang Ting approached quietly: "Old sir, do you have something on your mind?"
The old man smiled, "Mind your own business? This old man has lived for a long time, how can he worry about anything now? "
Jiang Ting's mood sunk... The closer he got, the more he realized that the stubbornness within the decay was getting stronger … It was this old man who had aroused his obsession.
If it was normal times, he would not mind taking his time. After all, he did not lack time. Compared to his long and long life, it did not matter even if he wasted several hundred years of his life here.
But, this old man was going to die!
Because the distance was too close, even if Jiang Ting didn't pay attention to it, he could tell with his level 8 divine vision. At least two days, at most three days, this old man would definitely drive to the west.
After a moment of silence, Jiang Ting said softly, "Old sir, I have passed by many villages along the way, but there are very few people like old sir who are willing to talk … The elders of the family once said that I would repay this kindness with a drop of water. Originally, I had planned to drink it like before and use some gold and silver to repay it. "
Pausing, Jiang Ting shook his head again: "But old man, you... "If I'm not wrong, there is a bit of death aura around you right now. Your lifespan is almost up. Gold and silver are useless against me."
The old man immediately raised his head and looked at Jiang Ting in shock.
After a long time, the old man suddenly laughed, "Young one, your eyesight is extraordinary … This old bones of mine really doesn't have much time left to live. Perhaps in ten to fifteen days, I'll have to trouble fellow villagers to send me to hell. "
Jiang Ting slightly cupped his fist: "I admire you."
The old man looked surprised. "Oh?"
Jiang Ting directly explained, "Few people can be as calm as old man when they know that death is near at hand."
His heart however, was getting more and more anxious. This old man had actually said his wish … A dying person had an obsession that would definitely be the wishes of the old man if nothing went wrong. It could even attract the favor of the will of time and space. He didn't care how difficult it was to have an obsession; all he cared about was what obsession it was!
"Perhaps he has lived for too long, and has seen many mountains and rivers."
After he finished speaking, the old man looked up to the sky again. "This old man has also seen quite a few deaths when I was young … "Death is not scary at all."
"I, Jiang Chen, admire old sir's state of mind!"
At the end of his words, Jiang Ting revealed a hint of respect: "Old sir, your words have greatly benefited me … … I wonder if this old man has any unfulfilled desires? "If you don't mind, please let me know. I also have some methods that might be able to help you but you won't. If so, I can take it as a form of repayment for my previous efforts."
Jiang Ting directly revealed his purpose … This old man was about to die. If he were to continue delaying, then even if the old man died, it would be useless for him to resolve his obsession.
He had to find out what the obsession was as soon as possible, and then settle it before the old man died. Otherwise … Since people were dead, what was the use of obsessing about how to solve it? That obsession would still exist.
Fortunately, the old man was about to die, and with his previous calm, it shouldn't be difficult for him to find out what his wish was.
As if he knew what Jiang Ting was thinking …
"A wish …."
As he mumbled, the old man looked at him and the smile on his face grew even wider. 'If it's my wish, then I really do have one.
Jiang Ting instantly asked: "What is it?"
"Cultivate."
Pausing, the old man shook his head. "Ever since I was young and knew that there were cultivators in the world, I had always wanted to train. Unfortunately, even when I was about to sink into the earth, I never succeeded.
"Cultivate?" Jiang Ting's eyes stiffened slightly.
When the old man said the word "cultivation," his willpower fluctuated slightly more strongly … Jiang Ting was immediately sure that the old man wasn't lying to him. Wanting to cultivate was the old man's wish, and also his obsession.
To resolve this obsession seemed very simple. Just let this old man step onto the road of cultivation.
However, the truth was … However, Jiang Ting felt a deep sense of malice and even powerlessness.
If this was the Boundless Divine Realm, if there wasn't an eye of the heavenly law staring at him … With his strength, it was as easy as flipping his hand to let a mortal wash their essence and cultivate their aptitude!
But this was the Taiyu Continent, a place that belonged to the past in history. How could he dare to make a move to cleanse this old man?
The Eye of Heaven was not a decoration!
