Chapter 38
Before they even reached room 309, they heard a series of wails and lamentations from inside.
“Alas, alas! The Great Way is difficult, more difficult than ascending to the blue sky!” The voice was sorrowful, aged, and deep, as if the speaker had experienced the most tragic blow in the world, finally turning into a long, mournful sigh, “My path is cut off, my path is cut off!”
Peering through the window, they saw a man with long hair and a beard, draped in a bedsheet, standing on the bed, looking up to the sky in despair, his eyes filled with hopelessness.
It seemed as if he was not standing on a hospital bed but at the edge of a towering cliff, about to leap off and end his life.
“Alas, go! I go! My path to immortality is severed in this life. When I am reborn, I must return to the path of immortality!” He gazed deeply at the ground, stepping forward with an air of unparalleled elegance.
With a “thud,” the man fell flat on the floor. Due to the soft carpet covering the ground, he didn’t even get a bump, completely unscathed.
He sat on the ground, lifted his head dazedly, and covered his face, crying, “How merciless is the Heavenly Dao! You cut off my path to immortality and won’t let me die! The Heavenly Dao is heartless, the Heavenly Dao is heartless!”
While crying and cursing, the man climbed back onto the bed and started repeating his “cliff-jumping” behavior, but no matter what, he couldn’t die.
Nurse Xiao Pang’s mouth twitched, and she tried to explain to Bai Yi in the calmest tone possible, “Half a month ago, he had an appendectomy. After returning, he cried and said his spiritual root was ruined and he couldn’t cultivate anymore… and then, it became like this.”
