Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 2972 ​​Venom

Li Pingrun still wanted to continue performing the ritual, as if it could cleanse the stain on his heart.

Li Pingrun thought: Will that stick of incense light up again today? Will it? I hope I can really make that stick of incense light up through some ritual. If only one of those sticks of incense can light up, I should be able to make the others light up through some ritual... one stick at a time, one stick at a time...

Thinking of this, Li Pingrun suddenly remembered that his work was like lighting incense with magic, so he said to the table: "Master, if one stick of incense lights up in a while, I will naturally use magic to make the next stick of incense light up as well. But when I thought of this, I immediately thought of doing things that I shouldn't do. At first I just did one thing and thought there was nothing wrong with it, so I did the second thing, and then the third, the fourth... Gradually, I got used to it, and I always thought there was nothing wrong with it. Until many, many years later, one day, for special reasons, I suddenly realized that, in fact, from the moment I did that first thing, I had embarked on a wrong path. The first thing I did itself was... There were some consequences, but I didn’t realize it at the time. I really thought it was okay. I did the second thing, still thinking it was okay. I did those things one by one, and walked on a wrong path from the beginning for so many years. During those years, I didn’t even really consider turning back. Many years later, I finally wanted to turn back, but I found that the road behind me was black... That black color was dyed with venom! Yes, I have been walking on a poisonous black road, and what’s more terrifying is that I can’t see clearly whether the road in front of me is also black. If I keep walking, I know it will be black too! I have been walking on that black road dyed with venom for too long, so long that the black road has become familiar with my feet and thinks I am It has become indistinguishable from itself, and it has been so long that the venom seems to have merged with my feet. I originally thought that I would not be poisoned at all, but many years later I discovered that not only was I deeply poisoned, but I seemed to have become made of venom. In the past, my feet would only be black when I stepped on the road stained with venom. At that time, I didn't even realize that the road itself was black. Later, when I seemed to be made of venom, was it like this... Was it like this, that any road I walked on would eventually be a black road stained with venom? No matter what road I step on in the future, no matter whether there is venom on that road, it will inevitably be stained black by my feet? Is it me? It is poisonous, I am black, and I can never become the person I was before I set foot on that poisonous road? I think about my past self, it is really strange, I think, even if my sister sees me now, she will not recognize me, right? But I don’t want her not to recognize me, in fact, she has never been absent from my heart... If I choose the path I wanted to take again... Forget it... Forget it... There is no chance... There is no such chance at all! Then what should I do now? Master! Can you tell me, what should I do? If I die now because I stop, will I be dyed black by that poisonous road, so even if I become a corpse, it can only be a black corpse?"
