Chapter 1311: Catharsis (2)

It was as if the little old man had returned to the side of the road 40 years ago and personally witnessed his sister being sent flying by a big car. Fresh blood splattered on his face… In a daze, he forgot to cry. By the time he remembered to cry, there was already nothing left.

On the other hand, Yalman saw the scene of a man he idolized being killed by a gun. All he could do was hide in the wardrobe with tears streaming down his face, unable to sit still…

Baird and Nicholas had returned to the period when they had to make a difficult choice. Were they to be despicable for success? Or did they have to give up on everything and act according to their original intentions?

This was a matter of temperament.

Just as the five of them were bawling loudly—

Dong!

The sound of the bell suddenly rang loudly. The magnificent bell chimes immediately dispersed all the darkness!

Back then, Ottosky didn’t have the courage to approach the coffin to look at his mother. It caused him a lifetime of regret and guilt, so even if he returned to that moment, he wouldn’t be able to see his mother in the coffin. But the moment the bell rang, he seemed to see a divine light descending from the sky. The entire world was lit up! He saw his mother in the coffin with her hands on her stomach. Her eyes were closed and her face was serene.

Upon seeing his mother leave in such a peaceful and serene manner, the pent-up frustrations in Ottosky’s heart that he had suppressed for decades instantly dissipated. It was as if he had been reborn. He exhaled deeply and slowly opened his eyes…

As soon as the bell rang, Yalman rushed out of the wardrobe and yelled, “Come at me if you dare! Don’t hurt my father!”

At that instant, the bell rang. Yalman saw the gunman disappear under a beam of divine light. His father slowly turned his head to look at him, smiled at him, and stroked his head as he said, “Yalman, you’ve grown up. You’re my pride, the pride of Germany. I’m proud of you!”

Yalman smiled upon hearing this. His elderly face was smiling like a tender child’s.

He had received countless praises in his life, but none of them had ever made him give such a genuine smile. This time, he smiled.

At the same time, the world in front of him became clearer…

The moment the bell rang, the little old man roared and rushed out, pouncing on his sister. His eyes were wide with rage as if he was saying: “Even if it means death, I will protect you!”

Just as the car crashed into them, a bell sounded. At the same time, a golden light fell and the car vanished…

Li Daguang stood on the spot and looked at his hands. His eyes were filled with endless sorrow and loneliness, but also a hint of relief.

His whole life’s regret was that he didn’t have the courage to rush out when his sister was. .h.i.t by a car. Now… he had rushed out. Although it was just a dream, it cleared him of his guilt.

Baird looked at the soccer ball at his foot, then at the choice his father had given him.

His father said sternly, “Make your choice. Do you want to continue playing soccer, or do you want to be my successor! You only have one choice. You have no other choice!”

This was another choice that left Baird’s heart aching.

At that moment, a bell sounded, and his eyes suddenly became determined.

In silence, Baird bowed to his father, then picked up the soccer ball. His old body slowly straightened up, transforming into a young man who was boiling with excitement for the sake of soccer. He then turned to walk towards the rising sun, and calmly said, “I have the right to choose my world. Even if I end up with nothing…”

Nicholas looked at the freckle-faced girl who wasn’t considered beautiful and then at the aloof lady beside him. He fell silent.

The cold lady said coldly, “Nicholas, you don’t like me, and neither do I. But this is between our two families. You and I can’t make the decision. You either chose me to follow the family’s arrangements, or leave with this woman who can die at any time. Make your choice!”

Upon hearing this, the freckled lady’s eyes dimmed. “Nicholas, I don’t have much time left. There’s no benefit for us being together.”

Nicholas remained silent… He didn’t know how to choose.

Time ticked by. Night fell and a girl walked out of Nicholas’s family castle alone…

Nicholas’s heart was bleeding.

Nicholas lifted his head and shouted, “I don’t care if it’s a dream! I won’t let you get away from me. Even if there’s only one second left, you’re mine!”

Nicholas dashed out. The girl turned around and smiled at him…

Her smile was so bright and dazzling like sunlight…

The five of them narrowed their eyes at the golden light, but tried their best to open them!

They happened to see the sun rise up from the horizon. Golden sunlight scattered across the ground, draping One Finger Monastery’s roof. It landed on the Frost Bamboo forest, the Heavenly Dragon Pond, and everyone…

At that instant, the entire world was golden and bright!

The five of them subconsciously looked at the Yongle Bell. Under the sunlight, the golden bell emitted a golden glow that was exceptionally dazzling!

Looking at the drum, it was pitch black. It was so repressive that it made one want to scream in anger. However, when the monk stood there, it was as though he had blocked all the negative emotions.

At this moment, that monk did not seem to be a monk, but a G.o.d that blocked the evil demons!

The group subconsciously pressed their palms together and bowed at Fangzheng.

At that moment, they realized that they were not the only ones; many people had bowed at Fangzheng like them… Clearly, they had experienced the same process.

“Quick, look at your feet!” Li Daguang suddenly exclaimed. A look of surprise appeared on their faces as Yalman, Baird, and company followed suit.

At some point, a white fog had already risen beneath their feet! The fog was extremely thick, but it was only limited to their knees!

Looking down, they saw a churning sea of clouds!

It was as if they were standing on top of the clouds!

At this moment, the sun rose even higher. The golden sunlight shone down, turning the white sea of clouds into a golden sea of clouds!

Ottosky shouted, “Look at that bridge!”

The few of them looked up and saw the sunlight falling on the Heavenly Dragon Pond under the bridge. The rays of sunlight shone on the arch beneath the Bridge of Helplessness. It illuminated the area beneath!

The golden bridge arch and the reflection of the water accentuated each other. It was so beautiful that it was suffocating, so sacred that it made one want to wors.h.i.+p it!

At this moment, Baird couldn’t help but sigh in praise. “This should be the morning bell and evening drum blanketed in golden clothes as well as the rainbow clouds and nine colored lights, right? It truly lives up to its name. It’s beautiful! This is the most beautiful scene I’ve ever seen in my life!”

“How beautiful. This isn’t a monastery for mortals. It’s a monastery in the heavens!” Nicholas said.
