The Spirit World

Chapter 386 Real People
"The old man Lang Yishu you mentioned is here?" Lin'er looked at the ruins, which looked dilapidated. It seemed out of place with other places on Bailing Mountain.

There is no moon, but the white light source from the crystal placed on Bailing Mountain is very bright, and you can see everything here clearly.

Of course, as the light and shadow move sideways, there are still some deep mottled colors.

Not to mention the various things on the ground, even the foundation underneath is already in ruins, and even deeply sunken. The sunken part looks like it was shattered by a huge monster, spreading from the center like a spider silk cracking, with layers of mottled spots.

That was where the shadows gathered, as if it was in the very center of the entire foundation. As long as Chang Yufeng and Lin'er moved around, the light and shadow here were blocked, and no light could reach inside, as if two corners were missing, forming a gap in the conical spider web.

"Ha..." Chang Yufeng walked slowly on the edge of the ruins. Although this was the ruins of a library, he did not find a single broken page of a book. There were only cracked rocks and piled-up wood chips. There was no wind here and the dust was thickly piled up on top. It seemed that a long time had passed.

If there is nothing particularly dusty here.

There's nothing special here except the trail leading in.

"What's wrong? What's wrong? Why are you so happy?" Lin'er ran over quickly and followed Chang Yufeng, carefully searching for something.

But at first glance, there's nothing particularly noteworthy.

"I'm feeling lucky." Chang Yufeng squatted down and touched the dusty wooden board with his hand. There was no corrosion on the board. It was probably because Bailing Mountain didn't have many afternoons, and the sun could still shine here, so the damage didn't last long.

Although it is not known what happened here, as of now, it has not been repaired, which means that nothing big has happened, or it has suffered any other serious attacks.

These can all be ruled out.

Well, there’s no need to worry about the rest. At least Lang Yishuweng is fine.

I came all the way here just to look for him. When something happened to him, I felt a little nervous, but fortunately there was not much evidence to support this guess.

Why was the library in the magnificent Bailing Mountain destroyed and not repaired? It was even left in such a mess. What happened at that time?

"What are you thankful for? This place is in such a dilapidated state. The person you are looking for must not be here." Lin'er frowned and touched the dust symbolically. She did not squat down, but slowly lowered her head and touched the side.

It's strange to say, whether it's Chang Yufeng's clothes or Lin'er's clothes, they both have obvious repulsion of the team's dust. When they walked here, there should have been a lot of dust sticking to them, but around them, it seemed that the dust did not dare to approach them, but only lightly wrapped around them. Wherever they walked, the dust would disperse and then flutter again.

"Well, it's because it's not here that I can't find it, so I feel lucky." Chang Yufeng stood up and jumped down the conical deep hole. It was hard to see the depth of the soil here. Chang Yufeng waved his hand and a blue light dispersed. The light source transformed by spiritual power quickly illuminated the place.
"Aren't you afraid that he will get hurt? Or maybe something worse has happened. If that's the case, it will be even harder to find him." Lin'er stood at the edge of the cone-shaped spider web, trying not to block the light source of the crystal. She quickly walked to the other side, and the blue spiritual light intertwined with the white light, which was also reflected very brightly.

"I don't really want to guess. I will try my best to think positively. This is very important to me." Chang Yufeng squatted down and looked carefully at the foundation that was destroyed by some unknown attack.

This spider-web-like cone is very strange. If it was a punch or an ordinary weapon, the big hole created by it would definitely not be so regular. Moreover, the range is so large that it is hard to imagine a person punching down from the sky and hitting the ground to form such a regular spider-web-like structure. It is more likely to be a special weapon. Moreover, this weapon is large enough and very light, so it would not use such a great force to smash the entire foundation and leave such a strange shape.

"It's wrong to make random guesses." Chang Yufeng touched the soil layer. This generation of soil was the loess unique to Bailing Mountain, and it was also in line with the architectural characteristics of Bailing Mountain. Just by looking at it like this, there was definitely no way to know what had happened.

But, as he said, he is willing to believe in better things, even if things may not go in the direction he hopes for. But, how to say it, no matter how it comes out, it should be viewed in this way, although it is impossible to really look at it with such a strong sense of calmness.

Lang Yishuweng, this important person, only lives in Bailing Mountain and definitely has no hatred or grudges. If something really happened, the only possibility would naturally be that he would be implicated.

Who is implicated?
By oneself.

"Okay, okay, I won't guess anymore. Have you found anything unusual?" Lin'er also looked around, but she naturally couldn't find anything unusual.

This was only natural. What she was thinking about was something very strange. For example, who was that Lang Yishuweng? Why was he here? And, this place was in such a dilapidated state, why did she come to find him?
Well, in fact, these questions themselves are not important. What is important is how Chang Yufeng thinks, how he sees it, and then, what he does.

"No... but logically... this shouldn't happen. If all the books in the library were moved, there wouldn't be any need to destroy the place like this and then leave such a mess behind. This kind of thing is not something the chief steward would do." Chang Yufeng retracted his legs and jumped out of the deep pit.

"You are here to look for someone. Are you sure that Lang Yishuweng is the only one who lives here? Or is he here when you know about it, and not here when you don't know about it?" Lin'er also said something rather strange. Perhaps, it was because of Chang Yufeng, huh, strange man.

"What you mean is, I don't know his specific movements, but I just rely on my memory to speculate that he might be here to find him... and then a big way out appeared? Or, Lang Yishu Weng did not arrive at the time I thought? Or... I didn't know where Lang Yishu Weng was from the beginning?" This is the feeling Chang Yufeng gave people. He told himself not to guess and not to think so much, but he said so much at once.

"Hmm! I guess so." Lin'er smacked her lips: "It's very likely thick!"

"So, in a sense, only if Lang Yishu looks for me can I find him. This is a one-sided search. In that case, he must be familiar with me and know where I will be. He may even spend time and effort to find me at the right time, rather than finding him at the wrong time?" Chang Yufeng seriously expanded on this conceptual long speech.

This made Lin'er scratch her head unconsciously and touch her hair.

"Hmm? Maybe. You know, if it's a hermit master, he may not be there when you look for him. How can you find him without going through some setbacks?" Lin'er threw a small tuft of hair behind her shoulders and said with interest: "My master often tells me this kind of story. There's an old man who is very powerful and can be said to be invincible. But he hides when he is the best in the world. It's no exaggeration to say that he is the best in the world at that time, but he just hides, or something happens to make the world chaotic, and then he keeps trying to take in an apprentice to inherit his unique skills, and he has to look for the kind of weak ones, or even those who are upset..."

"Um……"

Lin'er talked incessantly, and it seemed that her master was a very special concept to her, both in terms of identity and emotion.

"Of course, there are also particularly good disciples. This old man is really bad... Since he wants to retire, he also wants to teach others his unique skills. I really don't know how to respect such a person." Lin'er said this with anger. It seems that compared with my own master, this old master is indeed a little less interesting. You say, once he retires, the world's number one will naturally disappear... Then when people in the world are fighting for the world's number one, he wants to teach a young man his unique skills to stir up this turbulent world. Doesn't that contradict his intention of retiring?
"Maybe he's just hiding from his enemies?" Chang Yufeng clapped his hands and wiped the dirt out of his fingernails.

"Impossible. He's number one in the world, who dares to touch him? Who dares to provoke him?" Lin'er shook her head seriously. She crossed her arms and clapped her hands at Chang Yufeng.

"The world... number one... If he really had this title, who knows what chaos the world would be in..." Chang Yufeng gestured to Lin'er to walk ahead and leave.

“No, no, no, you are not right. There is still a number one in the world, it’s just not that obvious… after all, the same camps won’t duel… if there is no risk-taking fight, no life-and-death struggle, and many people can’t use their special skills, how can there be number one in the world… so, in essence, number one in the world is just a respectful title, not actually that powerful.” Lin’er walked in front, the crystal stones on the path flickering, emitting a bright white light.

"Your master is such a... book fanatic... He taught you this kind of thing? Is your master a man or a woman? How many urban novels have you listened to from him? But... actually, this kind of thing is actually very easy to decide who is number one. All you need to do is have everyone in the same camp betray the number one. That way everyone can fight, and then form a siege. If the protagonist breaks through the siege and defeats them all, then he will be number one in the world, right?" Chang Yufeng looked at Lin'er's somewhat messy hair. The white light shone on these black and soft hair, making her look like an old woman with white hair, all snow-white.

"Huh?" Lin'er turned around and looked at Chang Yufeng in surprise: "You mean... the teammates who made the protagonist go through life and death together so many times? All betrayed? The person who wrote this kind of novel really doesn't understand novels..."

"You are practicing in Pineapple Pineapple Mountain. Are you really so idle that you can only read those imaginary novels? Isn't this ridiculous?" Chang Yufeng looked at Lin'er and shook his head helplessly.

Not to mention that Lin'er has the All-Seeing Hand, which is incredibly powerful, just look at her master. He shows her this kind of thing every day. I wonder if he has taught her real skills.

"Those things start with talking about what the protagonist is like, what he has been through, and then summarizing the person's character in a few sentences, and then doing everything according to these adjectives. But people are not like that... People's emotions are very complicated. Sometimes they do things that have nothing to do with their personality, or even do the opposite. It's impossible to make a real prediction. Just like the structure of the human body, what you think in your mind and what you say may be seriously different... Then... explaining a person in this way is problematic in itself." Chang Yufeng explained as always.

But at this moment, Lin'er didn't find this serious explanation interesting. Even though Chang Yufeng might know a lot, now, Lin'er just wanted to defend all the popular novels she had read.

She put her hands on her hips and said angrily: "That's someone else's wisdom, a character someone else came up with... Aren't the righteous hero or the romantic wanderer just a description? If you have to be so serious, other people's evaluation itself is a description... You definitely don't understand what you are like in front of others. Only when others describe you, you will know what kind of person you are in their hearts..."

"Hmm..." Chang Yufeng nodded. Seeing Lin'er's angry look, he nodded seriously.

"But……"

"But what?" Lin'er looked down at Chang Yufeng. For a moment, Chang Yufeng felt that this was the real Lin'er, who at least had negative emotions.

Although it was only for a few characters she knew that had been carefully designed by others.

Can also get really angry.

"People... are complicated. You can't tell others how to see you, right? You can't just think you are the way you are, right? Language is deceptive. Even your brain can be deceived, not to mention the emotions that you can't control. When describing a person, there will definitely be some deviation. This deviation may be completely opposite, or even shocking. However, this is a very normal thing. If you don't demand too much, then you don't need to be too harsh on yourself or others."

Chang Yufeng laughed softly.

He said in a very formal voice.

"So, no matter how you describe it, it's one-sided. No one can truly evaluate another person, because everyone is unique, and the things they experience are different. How can one person know everything about another person? If you only see the good, then his bad side will also appear at some point in time. Whether you can accept it or not depends on you. Whether it's a peerless master who upholds justice, or a scoundrel in the market, there is a side that you don't see. It's not your fault that this situation has occurred, because this is something that everyone living in this world needs to endure, whether it's good or bad."

Chang Yufeng looked into Lin'er's eyes.

At this moment, the pair of eyes were lively, with stars overflowing in them. The colors of purple and starlight rotated, emitting colorful light.

These beautiful eyes moved slightly, but they were looking straight at him.

Put down your crossed hands.

Lin'er turned around, lowered her head with a sigh, and then slowly raised it.

Chang Yufeng watched her complete this action.

"All right……"

she says.

"Living is not an easy thing. I still don't know what those peerless masters eat... I can't imagine that such powerful people need to cook for themselves, otherwise they will go hungry. Such peerless masters are incredible in themselves. Their glamour and splendor are all things in books. Those writers don't care whether they have their own ideas or whether their lives are difficult. Just by labeling him as a peerless master, he must be powerful in every way. How is that possible..."

She started walking, walking in the white light of the crystal.

"At least... time waits for people... Let's go, Brother Yufeng... where should we go now?"

"Actually, I'm not very clear either. I don't have any clues, but as long as I keep walking, the road will continue to extend."

"As long as you don't stop, you will definitely find clues."

"So, don't stop, right?"
