Heroes of the Fantasy World

Chapter 590 Beyond the horizon

(1)

Silence, suffocating silence.

A new journey begins in an uncharted bamboo forest, walking on a road that seems to never end. There is no end, and every stop is the beginning of the next journey.

Bai Feng thought he was mentally prepared for this and that he should live a carefree life, but that was not the case.

For a long period of time, rescuing Murong Yan and Xi'er was all he wanted in life. Now that his wish has been fulfilled, his wife and daughter have returned to him. In the process, he has also solved the difficulties in Beizhen, and his master Gao Zhen's last wish has also been fulfilled. It is about to be achieved, and the Gao family army will return to the place where they made their fortune.

It all seems so smooth, even though the process is tortuous and dangerous, there is always a good result.

However, Bai Feng could not feel the taste of victory.

Recalling that he walked down Yangshan Mountain four years ago, he was filled with stubbornness, vowing to fight against heaven and earth, and to change the world no matter what. At this moment, he was questioning himself in his heart.

"Did I do it?"

He didn't care at all what the answer was, because before he had this question, a new problem appeared. During the difficult journey, he struggled with it day and night. It seemed that he couldn't think of a reason and he couldn't say a word anymore.

Bai Feng rolled up his trousers and stood at the most turbulent part of the river. Looking at the water, he saw in the reflection that he had not washed or shaved his face for days. Now his face was covered with stubble, messy and dirty. He finally found a place near the river during the journey. At the resting place, I was able to wash away the fishy smell on my body, but in the end I refused to take action.

He just stood there, imagining that he was a fish in the river, swimming upstream, and was accidentally entangled in the whirlpool in the water...

I really want to move my body desperately, but I am powerless.

——It turns out that fish can also drown in water?

There is an undercurrent that cannot be escaped, and it complies with destiny.

With a "plop", Bai Feng suddenly fell asleep in the river.

Murong Yan and Yu Ke, who were still setting up camp, heard the sound and worked together to drag Bai Feng back to the shore.

"Brother Feng, are you sick?"

"Sworn brother!"

Dragging a man's body through the water, they also had to wet their clothes. After returning to the camp, they each took off their soaked clothes, leaving only their belly and silk clothes, and sat quietly by the campfire.

In the dark night, as his consciousness was vaguely awakening, Bai Feng accidentally captured two graceful figures. He couldn't see clearly and could only tell who was who from their behavior and voice.

"Sister, what happened to my sworn brother? He didn't say a word during the whole journey, and he suddenly fainted just now..."

"Brother Feng, you are far from being as strong as you think."

"Is it because of Brother Fu?"

"Maybe it's more complicated."

"What should we do if our adopted brother falls?"

"We deliberately bypassed Jinyang and walked southwest along the way. It's not bad at all! Don't worry, we just need to stay with him all the time."

The dizzy feeling was not relieved by these comforting words, but Bai Feng didn't want to fall in front of them, so he could only force himself to stand up. One step, two steps.

Staggering.

When Bai Feng was about to hit his head on the ground, two equally strong arms supported his body.

"Brother Feng, do you want some water?"

"Brother, be careful!"

Murong Yan went to scoop up some warm water and fed it into Bai Feng's mouth bit by bit. Yu Ke put the dry coat on Murong Yan's body, put on his own clothes to cover up, and then came to the place where Xi'er was sleeping soundly. After taking a look and confirming that he was fine, he asked: "Brother, let's find a town to live in first, and then ask a doctor to help you take care of your health, right?"

Bai Feng shook his head.

"Then...where should we go?" Murong Yan said with a hint of apology, nodding: "Brother Feng, after picking up Xi'er, I really can't think of anywhere else to go."

Bai Feng said stiffly: "I don't know."

Neither Murong Yan nor Yu Ke heard clearly, so they both brought their ears closer.

"I don't know why I feel sad - I rescued Yan'er and our daughter, I should have done a good job, right?" Bai Feng sneered: "But I don't feel anything What makes me happy is that I abandoned Beizhen and Brother Fu? No, it should be that I still have no way to deal with Sima Tu, so I can only escape and live in the mountains like a savage who drinks blood. There is no other way. No matter how hard you struggle, you are just a fish in the river, waiting to be swallowed by the whirlpool.”

This was the first time Bai Feng spoke since he had been silent for days, and he would talk endlessly. He did not expect anyone to answer, and just continued: "God did not allow me to die an untimely death, but Bai Feng is incompetent, how could he One person can fight against the entire world? Taiping Dao can never be wiped out, and no matter what era it is, there will always be a place for those who know how to exploit people's hearts."

Murong Yan said: "Brother Feng, no one can change everything by themselves, but some people in this world are changing because of you - this is also the human heart."

Yu Ke nodded repeatedly and said sadly: "Brother, don't be sad, okay? I don't know what to say, but you have done a good enough job."

"Since neither Zhongyuan nor Beizhen can accommodate us, I want to go back to where it all started." Bai Feng recalled Gao Zhen's experience: "Master once said that when you don't know what to do, you might as well try Go back to the place where you started and get to know yourself again. Master has lived there for twenty years, but we don’t know if the Taoist temple there is still there?”

In twenty years, deserts can turn into oases, mountains can turn into flatlands, and villages can turn into towns.

No one was sure about this before arriving in Kunlun.

"Will they still remember Master?" Bai Feng's heart was filled with all kinds of uncertain thoughts, but he also had a firm direction: "Yan'er, you were right just now. I was too eager for success. , but forgot all the people who gradually united around me, their existence proved that my efforts were not in vain! "

——Struggle is meaningful.

He stood up and pumped his fist vigorously, as if to tell others that the once proud young man had "returned victoriously."

I don't know if the noise was too loud, but Xi'er woke up crying.

It was rare that Bai Feng took the initiative to comfort the child, but she didn't know that she had a strong smell. As she got closer, Xi'er cried louder. Murong Yan picked up her daughter and walked away, deliberately saying with disgust: "Look at you. Your stinky daddy, he hasn’t rinsed his mouth for a few days and still wants to seduce us Xi’er!”

Bai Feng smiled awkwardly and walked aside to sleep. Early tomorrow morning, he went to the river to wash himself from head to toe. The dusty sword was also taken out. He almost forgot where he drew the sword last time. Time passed, everything in the past, the cloud shadows were like a dream, and at the same time, he was unwilling to think about the purpose of drawing his sword next time.

He just quietly put the Longming Sword into the river and washed it clean, that's all.

"Kunlun Mountain, in this direction."

Bai Feng raised his sword and pointed, the road was open.
