The Spirit World

Chapter 437 Important things, are they important?

"This...how can there be light at the end of the tunnel..." Chang Yufeng shook his head. During this short conversation, his condition had improved a lot.

"When an expert points out a maze, there will always be difficulties. The secret cannot be revealed. Young Master, please be honest with me so that we can discuss what to do someday." Xiao Qingshan put the fan in front of his chest and stopped fanning it. He kept staring at Chang Yufeng, and Chang Yufeng was also staring at him.

Be honest and candid.

How honest is that?

"Prime Minister...how do you know I'm not a fake? It's in plain sight, and you say right away that I'm the young master of Bailing Mountain. I'm already very nervous..." Chang Yufeng shook his head, slowly stood up, and stood there.

"Ha, Young Master, of course you don't have to worry. I, Xiao Qingshan, know my limits. Whether I believe you or not depends on whether you are sincere or not. Forgive me for being too excited, but it was not until I knew that this girl found you at the foot of the mountain three days ago that I really understood what the master meant." Xiao Qingshan gestured to Tachibana Junichi, who rubbed his nose embarrassedly. Looking closely, he seemed a little proud.

Although Chang Yufeng didn't know why Xiao Qingshan was so confident, a master must be superior to others. Naturally, what Xiao Qingshan heard would not be much different.

"Prime Minister... I... have doubts in my heart, but I can't figure it out. Besides, this name and reputation are too powerful. I've been used to a hard life, and I don't think I'm anything special. I hope Prime Minister Xiao won't use the title of Young Master to accuse me... I don't deserve it..."

Chang Yufeng was not being modest, what he said this time was truly sincere.

This Bailing Mountain, from the chief steward to disciple Zhong, was fine when there was no young master of Bailing Mountain. But with the young master of Bailing Mountain, it's like putting a needle in a turtle shell. Under the originally systematic management system, there is a privileged person who relies on his father. It was fine when the young master of Bailing Mountain was still a child, but should he be allowed to manage it now that he has grown up, or should he continue to be managed according to the emperor's wishes?

The personnel changes under him were naturally due to personal preference. How could a young person like me who had not yet made a name for himself manage them...

If he was entangled in the complicated and trivial matters of Bailing Mountain, if he did well, he would be happy as the moon, but if he did not, he would be suppressed by the emperor above and reported by the "old ministers" below. If he agreed with the emperor, the reputation of his ancestral mountain sect would be affected. It would be better to hand it over to the imperial power.

"Hey, Young Master, what do you mean? A tiger father will have a dog son. It's not okay to suppress your momentum before doing anything..." Xiao Qingshan saw that Chang Yufeng was a little depressed, so he smiled consolingly: "You are so young and full of energy, how can you be depressed? Besides, the Bailing family of Dongyu has descendants to inherit it. The people of Dongyu will naturally enjoy this blessing!"

What Xiao Qingshan said was so lofty and expensive that Chang Yufeng didn't know what to say next. He was afraid that he might not be able to come to his senses and say something foolish.

He didn't find it strange that Xiao Qingshan knew everything about him, because Xiao Lan, the know-it-all, was here, so she naturally communicated with Xiao Qingshan. It was just that he still needed to discuss with Xiao Lan about the level of communication.

Seeing that Chang Yufeng didn't say anything, Xiao Qingshan continued to speak: "I came to visit today because I had something important to discuss. I wanted to confirm the identity of the young master through the Wandering Clouds Fairy Talisman and then tell him about it. Who knew that Yinglan's exquisite flying fish would appear here, which told me what was on my mind. That's why I was so excited."

He looked at Chang Yufeng, and Chang Yufeng indeed felt the old man's excitement, even as if he had met an old friend.

Maybe my appearance was too sudden, as if the gears suddenly accelerated, catching everyone off guard.

When Xiao Lan heard that she was being mentioned, she nodded and looked at Chang Yufeng.

Chang Yufeng also sensed her gaze and looked at her subconsciously. She smiled at him, and Chang Yufeng's mouth corners also moved slightly.

"Prime Minister... after all this talk, why did you come to see this kid? What is the important matter you are talking about? Can I listen too?" Tachibana Junyi was beside her. Although what she said was very impolite in front of the Prime Minister, the Prime Minister seemed to acquiesce. He turned around, looked at her, and scolded her softly: "Junyi, this kid is Chang Yinglan's son, and it is not necessarily that you can call him that. Although you are older than me, you still need to remember to give me, an old man, some face in front of outsiders."

"I know! I know! Little old man!" Junichi Tachibana laughed.

"Excuse me, who is this girl surnamed Ju related to the Prime Minister?" Chang Yufeng was a little confused. This girl who seemed "disrespectful" and "unrecognizable to her relatives" was older than the Prime Minister?
No way……

"This girl is my aunt-in-law. She failed in her heavenly tribulation when she ascended to heaven a hundred years ago... She has become neither big nor small now. It can be said that it is fate that makes us look like this. I am already very old, while she is still young and energetic." Xiao Qingshan was quite calm when he said this.

As for my aunt-in-law, if you say she is a relative, then she is. If you say she is not, then she is not.

Judging from Chang Yufeng's previous state, Xiao Qingshan treated Ju Junyi more like his granddaughter. After all, they were both over a hundred years old and were indifferent to life and death, so they would not care too much about these empty things.

"Although she is older than me, you only need to treat her as a younger person. We are all dead, and there are not many of us alive here." Xiao Qingshan sighed lightly, and then continued in a serious tone: "Let's get back to the important matter I want to talk about."

Chang Yufeng glanced at Tachibana Junichi, who curled her hair, looking a little embarrassed.

If you say that she has lost her memory, that is a reasonable explanation. She is so young, but was disturbed by the heavenly calamity and turned into a girl who no longer grows up. Her personality has also changed. It can be said that it is fate that plays tricks on her.

"Hey... please speak..." Chang Yufeng actually didn't want to get involved in the management of Bailing Mountain. He felt that this matter would be ruined in his hands. If it was really such a thing, he would definitely refuse.

It can be seen that Xiao Qingshan knew that he was indeed the young master of Bailing Mountain and the son of Ning Ji. This was a foregone conclusion, and Chang Yufeng would not hide much.

Since we are supposed to be honest with each other, then let's be honest with each other. The dreamlike time travel that I just experienced was like Lan Luo taking me back to the past invisibly, and then coming back in a hurry. Everything was like waking up from a dream, which made Chang Yu feel unreal, so that his wild thoughts became more illusory and unreal. Those true and false statements, those obvious trivialities, were all in the clouds and smoke, and had nothing to do with his present self.

No matter how reluctant I am, I still have to listen. Refusing is not a difficult thing for me...

"This is actually a long story, but if the Young Master understands the importance of this matter, it can be summarized in just one sentence." Xiao Qingshan's excitement and excitement slowly turned into seriousness.

"Please speak." Chang Yufeng felt that no matter how shocking the matter was, he would remain unmoved...

"The Tower of Babel of the first great demon king Lan Luo has appeared in [Longzhong City], and heroes from all over the world are happily heading there to have a look." Xiao Qingshan gently waved his feather fan again, and the wind blowing on his body became slightly cooler.

"The first day... the Great Devil..." Chang Yufeng softly chanted Lan Luo's name...

His feelings towards Lan Luo are really tangled now...

That woman with a somewhat erratic personality, lazy, angry, happy, and well-behaved, in front of Chang Yufeng, this person becomes so vivid...

There is no way he can compare to the big devil.

"This time, all the heroes in the world gathered together to defeat the Great Demon King of the First Heaven! To reseal him..." Xiao Qingshan continued, and became worried: "That's fine, but the strangeness of this matter is more like a trap, a trap that will catch everyone in one fell swoop. The emperor has sent troops to evacuate all the people and stationed them outside the Tower of Babel..."

"How?" Chang Yufeng asked, his expression became serious. What did Lan Luo want to do?
Whether it's her pride or her aloofness, will it allow her to face all the powerful people in the world?

"Did Lanluo say anything?"

What does she want to do?

Is the materialization of the Tower of Babel a declaration of war against everything in the human world?

Lan Luo was like placing herself among ants. If there was an ant strong enough to seal her—although it was impossible for an ant alone—then her motivation would be almost untraceable...

The news of Huazhou's fall spread like wildfire, and on the first day, the Great Demon King's Sealed Demon Well was opened. Eight years later, she appeared in Longzhong City for no reason and opened her Tower of Babel, which meant that she was taking revenge on everything in the world?

Things are getting complicated...

Chang Yufeng's mind was blank. After hearing these words, he didn't think of anything.

His mind was too confused now... He shook his head vigorously, held his head, and blinked his eyes. "No, there is no news about the Great Demon King of Day One. The news of Huazhou's fall was blocked. Now Lan Luo's appearance is tantamount to killing everyone by surprise. The demonic energy infection broke out in Longzhong City. It is not enough to rely on the guards. The talented people who were intercepted outside are surrounding Longzhong City with a demonic energy infection circle. It is equivalent to the war being tense..."

"Is that so..." Chang Yufeng nodded. The buzzing sound in his head had not yet stopped. It was tinnitus here...

"I came here this time to discuss with the eldest and young masters, and to face the unprecedented enemy together with the other five major families!"

Xiao Qingshan finally told his story.

Longzhong City is a large city located in the central region of the empire. Lanluo's Tower of Babel stands here, like a knife cutting into the belly of the empire, cutting off all major transportation routes. It is only a matter of time before the empire's material supply is paralyzed.

Anyone can understand Lan Luo's purpose, which is to take revenge on all the people in the empire.

The purpose of the talented people going there is naturally to stop the revenge of the Great Devil of the First Day.

This declaration of war is unprecedented...

It seems to be unplanned and unarranged, and is not at all in line with the appreciation of literature and art.

No one is close to the truth. The truth should have expanded to dozens of generations across servers. There is no need to know the truth. The suddenness of the catastrophe alone is enough to make people feel the struggle of fate in the torrent of fate.

Of course, writing a book shouldn’t be like this.

Following the rules, giving guidance step by step, everything requires motivation.

But this is not writing a book, this is destruction.

When a volcano erupts, it will not tell humans, "Ah, I'm going to erupt, run away!"
I have never seen anything like it erupt again after humans have run away.

Chang Yufeng had no idea how to understand Lan Luo's behavior. He didn't have much contact with Lan Luo, and he was mostly asleep...

But if Lan Luo does this, the empire will definitely feel like it is facing a formidable enemy.

A meeting of the five major families is also imminent.

Those divine weapons handed down from generation to generation will naturally come in handy. Although the big devil is still the big devil, as long as he can be sealed once, he can be sealed a second time. It’s just a matter of who will be sacrificed.

Naturally, the five major families were the first to bear the brunt. Xiao Qingshan's assumption was not unreasonable. The halberd of the god of thunder was hidden in Bailing Mountain for worship. Naturally, other families also had magical weapons. It was natural for them to join forces to fight against Lan Luo.

As the only child of the Ning family, he was also among them...

Logically speaking, he should be the first to bear the brunt of the consequences. Ning Shuilan has not yet been cleared of her name, so he must be responsible for the Ning family...

However, Chang Yufeng was unwilling...

He is not backing down...

But he was hesitant about Lan Luo...

He knew that the Great Demon King and humans were irreconcilable... She had joined forces with other Demon Kings to fight against humans in ancient times, and it was the same when she stood on the sidelines, but Lan Luo, it shouldn't be like this...

own position...

Which side are you on?
She felt that Lan Luo was a little pitiful. Of course, it was not the kind of pity for life, but the pity that she could not understand her...

What does she want to tell herself by allowing herself to go back to the past, or even the future?

What did she want me to know from those words?

Be it Lan Luo, Xun Huangying, his parents, Hua Yin, Di Yao, or now Xiao Qingshan, none of them have ever thought about their own thoughts... or they don't care about their own thoughts...

He obviously didn't want to do anything...

He clearly doesn't want to play anything...

But they still force themselves to do things they take for granted!

I don’t even ask myself whether I can bear it or not… whether I can accept it or not…

And they all attributed it to the word "fate"...

destiny……

destiny……

destiny……

What exactly is destiny?

Am I...alive...or dead...?

"Prime Minister... this matter actually has nothing to do with me..."

Chang Yufeng said it softly, afraid of missing a word, so he confirmed it.

He lowered his head and looked at the pieces of sheets that were flying down. They were still lingering.

"What?" Xiao Qingshan was a little stunned because he couldn't believe his ears.

"I said, these things have nothing to do with me... I am just a seriously injured soldier now, the Prime Minister should not expect me to do such an important thing... I... would rather be an ordinary citizen..." Chang Yufeng sighed: "This matter should not be told to me, it is thanks to Prime Minister Xiao who came to recognize me, but I am incompetent and cannot take on this important task..."

"Young Master, do you... know what you are saying?" Xiao Qingshan asked back, "Could it be that Young Master has never had the ambition to care about the world?"

"Yes, but for me... I can't explain... With my current personality, I can only hold everyone back and make a fool of myself. I will go down the mountain one day, and the Prime Minister will be the agent of Bailing Mountain. It would be better if I have never met this person..." Chang Yufeng sighed, and became calmer and calmer as he spoke, and even straightened his body. He looked at Xiaolan seriously, and Xiaolan also looked at him.

He also saw Xiao Lan's worried and melancholy eyes. He touched her head and said with a smile: "I... it's better that I have never been here... just think of myself as having died together with Hua Zhou..."
