Heroes of the Fantasy World

Chapter 602: The Lonely Person

(8)

The townspeople told everyone that an immortal had descended from Kunlun Mountain to Zhuxian Town! Moreover, the immortal had stayed in an inn.

They didn't know the immortal's name, but the "immortal" didn't seem to be shy about anything. As long as someone visited him, he would receive them. Once, he even set up an altar in the town to preach.

The immortal has a chest-length beard and dishevelled hair. He seems to be unruly and careless, but in fact he is very gentle and polite to everyone. He is willing to patiently give his own answer to any question and never acts like a know-it-all or a lecturer.

People call him "Kunlun Immortal".

Kunlun Immortal is not actually an old man, it is just a false name. He is quite young and his voice is very energetic. People just wishfully believe that those who have attained the Tao must be older, so they would rather believe that the immortals will be immortal than to know that the immortals are actually younger than themselves.

The Kunlun Immortal is none other than Bai Feng.

Bai Feng started a trend of studying Confucian classics in Zhuxian Town. He encouraged Ge Hu to preach and impart knowledge. At the same time, he asked Ge Mao to take those who were interested in Taoism to the mountains to build roads in order to rescue the ancient books in the Sutra Cave.

No one dared to say that Bai Feng’s decision was absolutely correct, but it was indeed because of him, the Immortal Kunlun, that the people of Zhuxian Town learned to look up at the sky.

This world is not only about the fields and villages in front of us, but also about all kinds of mysteries beyond the horizon. It is not enough to focus on only one of them. It can even be said that if you only focus on the present, you will become blind and cowardly; if you only focus on the future, you will become arrogant and extreme.

A blind and cowardly person or an arrogant and extreme person cannot survive in Kunlun Mountain. Bai Feng has a deep understanding of this.

Bai Feng spoke in plain language, telling everyone he met about his inner feelings, and then he packed up and left the town, heading in the direction where Murong Yan and Yu Ke would come, sleeping in the open, wandering and searching. The townspeople all thought that Bai Feng had become a madman after he became enlightened, so why was he unwilling to wait even for the remaining time?

"What answer do you want from me?"

"I've been delayed for five years by my own mistakes, and I don't want to wait any longer."

"So, you know why I look so lonely?"

Lu Tianxiu and Zhang Sidan accompanied him all the way, and only stopped when they were ten miles outside the town.

In the withered leaf forest decorated with the graceful autumn colors, Bai Feng wandered alone with a straw mat, a blanket and a sword on his back. The withered red leaves around him were repeatedly rolled up as if depicting the traces of the wind, the rammed earth was exposed in the field of vision, and pebbles with strange shapes were randomly carved on the ground.

At this moment, he felt like he was walking on the snow in Kunlun Mountains.

“Will this be another false start?”

After nightfall, the decaying scenes of autumn were swallowed up by the darkness, and even the pungent smell in his nose weakened a lot. He lit a bonfire, hid his body in the blanket, leaving only half of his face exposed, and went to sleep hastily.

Although he was walking, he was actually still waiting in his heart, waiting for reunion, waiting for encounter, waiting for that moment.

In the dream, he seemed to be standing with everyone looking at the sea of ​​flowers. They were everyone from Yuyi Town.

"This man is so pitiful."

"Give him a few coppers?"

"Here, go buy something to eat."

  ——Whose voice is that?

Bai Feng half opened his eyes.

"and many more!"

He crawled out of the blanket and took a few steps forward with the sword in his arms.

"Yan'er!"

——Ding-ling, ding-ling, ding-ling.

  The woman glanced back and it seemed that there were a few more wrinkles on her forehead, her eyebrows, and her temples?

However, the soft light of the morning sun illuminated the front, and everyone was dyed with a layer of golden color. This was like a spell, making the other person in people's eyes as beautiful and charming as when they first met, and all the flaws were covered up. "Who are you?"

"I'm!"

The two ran towards each other and hugged each other tightly.

"Brother Feng!"

"Yan'er, I'm back! Yan'er, I'm back alive!"

Yu Ke stood blankly in the distance. It took him a while to react and he knelt on the ground crying excitedly.

"You've changed, but I still recognize your eyes."

"Yes, everyone looks different, but I still recognize you!"

Bai Feng took Murong Yan's hand and came to Yu Ke, kneeling down to comfort her: "Ake, let me see you, you have grown up, and finally become a big girl?!"

"Wuwuwu... Don't look at me, don't look at me crying!" Yu Ke pushed Bai Feng away, sat on the ground, hugged her thighs and sobbed silently: "Go away, all of you go away! I don't want to see you for the time being."

Bai Feng and Murong Yan smiled at each other, and exchanged a few words in front of Yu Ke, waiting for everyone to calm down. Then the three of them changed their route and went to Zoucheng to rest for a while.

In order to avoid attracting attention, Murong Yan borrowed a razor from someone and trimmed Bai Feng's hair and tidied up her appearance herself. She was muttering many things, most of which were about Xier.

Bai Feng didn't particularly like listening to it, but he never got tired of it. However, every time he wanted to tell the other person what he had experienced in the past five years, he would suddenly be at a loss for words and couldn't utter a word. It was obvious that he was facing the person he was most familiar with, but he behaved like a stranger.

The result was that Murong Yan was the only one talking to herself.

"It's done, look in the mirror!" Murong Yan pulled up her sleeves gracefully and pushed the bronze mirror in front of Bai Feng: "How is it, my craftsmanship is not bad, right?"

"Very...very good." Bai Feng hesitated for a moment and continued, "Yan'er, you won't blame me, right? I didn't tell you why I disappeared for five years. I...actually, I don't know how to tell you."

"It's okay. Aren't we back?" Murong Yan said, "As long as we can be together, nothing will be a problem."

After a while, Yu Ke came in from outside and said, "Sister Murong, Brother, there are rumors in the city that a 'cliff carving' has been found outside the city. Should we go and take a look?"

"Cliff carvings, what are those?" Bai Feng asked.

"It's just carving poems and scriptures on the cliff. Only masters can do this, right?" Yu Ke said, and then asked Murong Yan: "We finally got together, why not go for a walk?"

Bai Feng continued Yu Ke's words and blurted out: "Let's go and take a look."

The next day, they came to the place where the rumor pointed out, but did not find the so-called cliff carvings.

Apart from the steep cliffs, there is only a stream of water running under the cliffs. With the mountain behind and the water in front, it is a good place to live in seclusion.

However, Bai Feng seemed to be possessed for some reason. He sat by the river facing the wall for three days and three nights, dancing with swords every day to relieve his boredom, and refused to eat or drink. Murong Yan and Yu Ke could only watch from afar and did not dare to disturb him.

Three days later, Bai Feng suddenly had an epiphany and carved four lines of quatrain on the cliff.

"The spirit snake is circling the temple, and enlightenment is in the heart.

The future is seen in the present, and balance is achieved through transcendence. "

The title is - "Spirit Snake Sword Riding Style".
