The Spirit World

Chapter 446 His Crying
So, it’s raining again... Fortunately, I’m not from a secluded courtyard... Otherwise, I would have really caught a cold..." Junichi Tachibana sneezed after he finished speaking.

"Who are those people? Did you catch them?"

"We didn't catch them...we let them run away..." Chang Yufeng replied and handed the umbrella to her. She opened it, stepped across the muddy pond, and followed Chang Yufeng.

"I saw blood all over the ground. Did he hurt you?" Ju Junyi looked at Chang Yufeng. There was no blood on his clothes except mud.

"No...I hurt them..."

"What's the origin of that hairpin? How did it end up in your house?"

"It's just an ordinary hairpin... maybe someone dropped it..."

"Huh... that's quite strange... you chased after the hairpin when you saw it, but you didn't catch it, and then you said that the hairpin was an ordinary object. Even if you said that, I don't want to listen." Junyi Tachibana was quite disdainful.

Before I even got started, something strange happened and I don't know whether I was right or wrong.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Chang Yufeng had powerful spiritual powers, but he was too vindictive and hard to like, and it was hard for him to be clean when doing things.

I'm afraid he has become too old to care about worldly affairs anymore.

It is said that the Chinese cultivate immortality, which is to cultivate the body and mind, but these mountain sects are full of intrigue, how can it be called cultivating immortality, it is just seeking to acquire a skill.

If bullies learn it, they will deceive their superiors and subordinates and use their skills to suppress others. If the bullied learn it, they will acquire the ability to protect themselves. Don't say that you can really have a clear mind and comprehend the overall situation of cultivating immortals. Even if you are a chivalrous man, you still have to be careful.

Bailing Mountain is said to be a fairy mountain, and it was one a hundred years ago. But ever since it met the imperial power, all the positions of the Ning family were removed, leaving only Chang Yufeng as the young master of Bailing Mountain. It is also a mountain for seeking skills, how could it not be tainted by the mundane world?

Ask the immortal, if one cares about gold, silver, money, fame, fortune and status, then he will only go further and further away on this path. Even if he cultivates his body to the extreme, it is difficult to cultivate his mind to the extreme, and it may even backfire on him.

Furthermore, in the early stages of cultivating immortals, they are originally mortal bodies. With the blessing of spiritual power, they become different from ordinary people. They do not eat worldly food, but only eat the rare treasures of all things in the world that contain spiritual power. Food supplements can be said to be the most important thing in cultivating immortals. No one has ever been seen abandoning their bodies and forcibly cultivating the spirit. If the spirit is empty when there is not enough food, the body will weaken and die. These are the common sense of the world. As long as you have not gotten rid of your mortal body, food supplements cannot be stopped.

Food supplements cannot be given to you just because you say you have them. If you don't have the money to give them to you, it is not uncommon for you to just eat air instead.

Is it possible to cultivate immortality without money? You must, otherwise, if you only cultivate, no matter how talented you are, you will only be hovering in the middle of the Moon Level.

Chang Yufeng's current strength is still at the Star Level. The Qingfeng Mountain where he is going is a real fairy mountain.

Qingfeng Mountain has Hualing Sect, a true sect for cultivating immortals. Although it is not a sect founded by a talented person who has reached the divine realm, it is a sect founded by a person who has inherited the skills of a talented person in the divine realm.

It’s about true cultivation of immortality.

They are almost worldly and rarely come down the mountain to participate in disputes. It is only said that they practice body and energy cultivation, which is different from Bailing Mountain. Bailing Mountain relies more on external spiritual power, while they pay more attention to the spiritual power possessed by the internal body and release it from the inside out.

And they don't have many different paths. Bailing Mountain has all six paths, and if you want to master them, you can only choose one. Then Hualing Sect also has only one path of cultivation, and it is the ultimate realm. Some people have already ascended to the realm of immortality. This is also the end point and hope of their cultivation.

There is another mountain gate, that is Qingyun Sect, which is another legendary mountain gate of the empire.

Hualing Sect's eldest senior brother Zhao Yunfei is a person with great potential for the Tian Zi level. He is in no way inferior to those Tian Zi levels who have been hiding in the mountains of Bailing Mountain for years to practice. He is knowledgeable, has a good character, and is a famous talent at a young age.

Chang Yufeng wanted to go to Qingfeng Mountain, not to do anything, but to see how a fire could possibly break out in a fairy mountain...

Maybe there are some unknown secrets there...

Now that this hairpin appeared, the direction and speculation of things made him take a deep breath.

This feeling is really bad...

"They always say that I became stupid and dull like this because I went through a heavenly tribulation a hundred years ago. I don't believe it. I'm not like that... I can tell the truth from lies... When you said I was an orange and you were an apple, every word you said was true, but these few sentences are not true." Chang Yufeng glanced at her. Raindrops were falling on her shoulders. She was holding an umbrella, but her clothes were still wet.

"Let me tell you this." Jun'ichi Tachibana was walking towards him, looking at his high nose bridge.

"I think you don't have to tell me the truth all the time, and I don't want you to lie to me all the time. As long as you can really treat me as a friend, I will feel at ease."

When Ju Chun saw that Chang Yufeng didn't say anything, he blinked and said, "Actually, I felt familiar with you when I saw you. When I rescued you at the foot of the mountain that day, I stared at you. I felt that you must be carrying a deep hatred. You have such serious injuries! There are big holes in your clavicle, ribs, and knees. When I heard Xiao Lan say that you were related to Xun Huangying, I thought that you must have an irreconcilable hatred with that Xun Huangying. I want to seek revenge on Xun Huangying, and you have to seek revenge on Xun Huangying too! We are also in the same boat! Since we are in the same boat, we need so many things."

Chang Yufeng stopped suddenly. He looked very haggard. His eyes were reflected in the rain, as if there was a thin layer of mist. He was about to open his mouth, but stopped again.

"Right? You agree too!" Jun'ichi Tachibana pushed his hand with his elbow, like a close friend.

"Young master, are we really going to Qingfeng Mountain?" Xiao Lan didn't seem very happy either. The atmosphere was a bit depressing. She seemed to have a hoarse throat when she spoke and cleared her throat.

"Well... I want to rule out one possibility..." Chang Yufeng answered Xiao Lan. Ju Junyi did not say anything, but followed him seriously.

"What's possible?"

"Eyeliner, I need to eliminate how many eyesliners there are around me. You should not be able to sense the existence of this kind of eyesliner. We must eliminate the place in Qingfeng Mountain."

The wind swept across everything here, making their clothes rustle, as if the eyeliner who had heard their conversation suddenly flew away in the wind.

"Why..." Xiao Lan was confused.

"A fire that could not possibly happen! It happened at that time!" Chang Yufeng looked at the fairy mountain opposite Bailing Mountain - Qingfeng Mountain.

It is not as tall as one might imagine. Although it is tall enough, it looks more like a short old man, as if it has suddenly sunken into the mountains in this area.

But because of this, it is like a treasure trove of spiritual power, with more concentrated spiritual power. Qingfeng Mountain also has a barrier, but it does not produce clouds and fog, but a thin layer that covers the small peaks around it. Although the scenery of Qingfeng Mountain is not as good as Bailing Mountain, it is even mediocre enough, with only green and nothing else. It is also a model that the mountain gate of Xiuxian should not pay attention to the appearance.

Qingfeng City is not at the foot of Qingfeng Mountain, but on the bank of a big river next to Qingfeng City. The mountain gate stands on the top of the mountain, loudly asking Xiangyang.

"There's no way there could be a forest fire in Qingfeng Mountain... If there was, it must have been done intentionally by someone who set the mountain on fire and is going to spend the rest of his life in jail!" Tachibana Jun'ichi spoke incoherently.

"Hmm... So, young master, do you think someone has been stationed there for a long time? Waiting to create a wildfire? Why would they create a wildfire?" Xiao Lan's question was more direct. Chang Yufeng kept looking at the mountain, holding the umbrella handle tightly.

In fact, there was a premeditated sniper attack at that location. Only the red light from the sniper there could give a clear view and not be affected at all.

"That's not important. What's important is the spy. I'm afraid there are people there. This fear is groundless... I might just go to confirm it. If there's no one there, I'll feel relieved. If there is, I'll kill them!"

"Eyeliner... Looking for Huang Ying's eyeliner?" Tachibana Junyi spoke. She also felt bored, but didn't want to be lonely.

"We have too little information... Without Xunhuangying, we have lost our direction... No, we have lost any initiative with rules."

Chang Yufeng gritted his teeth, as if unwilling to give up: "The only spy I know of so far is Locke from Wenti County. This is what Xun Huangying told me... He has been keeping track of all my movements. When he doesn't appear in public, I can't do anything to him, but he lied that he was dead... so I can really make him die."

He was angry and miserable.

"Locken...you mean, the president of the Chamber of Commerce in Wenti County?" Xiao Lan was not surprised: "I heard Lord Xun Huangying say that, but to be honest, Lord Xun Huangying doesn't seem to care about Locken...he cares about something else..."

"What is it?" Chang Yufeng looked at Xiao Lan, as seriously as he could.

"On the eve of Locke's announcement of his fake death... Lord Xun Huangying went to see someone... At that time, only Lord Lu Xinzhai and I were by the golden tree."

"Who did he meet?"

"Duke Victoria... a woman, also in a crimson dress, and extremely beautiful."

"I have been wondering if Locke's death was intentional. Even my killing of Locke was anticipated by others... So our plan of taking advantage of the enemy's strategy was still a series of traps. I have never talked about my plan like this before. I can't guarantee which side Xun Huangying is on, and what his real purpose is... But I still don't dare to think of Xun Huangying as a spy. That would be too scary..."

Chang Yufeng coughed lightly and seemed to have caught a cold.

The next rain was so cold that it was beyond words.

"I never imagined that Xun Huangying would stand by me... I'm just afraid that even my intention to struggle will be seen through by others... I'm afraid that I'm like a monster in a cage... I can't escape the calculations of others..."

Only then did Chang Yufeng look at Tachibana Junichi.

Tachibana Junichi looked bewildered: "Don't look at me... I don't understand what you are saying... What about calculations or not, and Xun Huangying or something like that, is he very strong?"

"So, I am afraid. I am not just afraid now... I am terrified. I am afraid that everything I do is meaningless. There are people in this world who want to help me. I have also seen them in Lan Luo's dream, but they are too few for me... I am not strong enough to get their help - in other words, I have no chance of winning yet, and they are not on my side at all - they have always only helped the winners. I don't have the potential to become a winner yet. At least for now... I can't see any future. The future is black. Even if I go to Qingfeng Mountain, I can only see a black future. I can't do anything..."

"little Master……"

Is this your truest thought?

The suffering you've experienced... has no results... What makes you despair is not that there is no future that you can see or touch... but that there is no hope for the future...

"I actually don't know which way to go next, but I have to keep going because I'm trying so hard to stay alive. Even if I take a step back, I'm living for myself... I just need to live. I was born alive, and I should continue to live like this!" Chang Yufeng's voice was low, like a confession from the heart.

He looked at Junichi Tachibana who had been looking at him.

Jun'ichi Tachibana didn't say anything, but just looked into his eyes quietly. His eyes were probably black gems, so deep and sad.

"This is what I'm thinking right now. To be honest, I don't have any thoughts about telling you a lie. Everything about me is annoying enough... Everything I've been through is miserable enough. It's just a lie! So what? What's the point of asking so many questions about things you don't need to know? That person is gone. Whether I answer you the truth or a lie, is it really that important? Did I hurt you? This is something you don't need to ask... why bother to care?"

"You're angry?"

"No..." Chang Yufeng closed his eyes for a while.

"I just... feel... that I am too... unworthy of myself now... I can't do anything well... I am just a waste... a fool..."

His sudden sobbing caught both Xiaolan and Junichi Tachibana off guard.

He rubbed his eyes and hot tears fell. He wanted to stop them from falling, but he couldn't stop them unconsciously, and they dripped down his cheeks along with his hands.

"I really can't do anything right... I haven't done anything right so far... I can't beat them at all... I'm just a fool..."

"My little master..." Xiao Lan flew in front of him and put her hand on his cheek. She wanted to comfort him. She sensed something was wrong with her little master. From the beginning, she felt that her little master seemed to be getting more and more trapped in his own humble self-blame...

in this way……

Will it be...

It is indeed too bitter...

Fighting against the pitch-black darkness... Even throwing a punch would be drowned by the darkness, let alone fighting...

Junyi Ju looked at Chang Yufeng in surprise and wiped away her tears. She didn't know what this man had been through. She was holding an umbrella, but it felt like she was standing in the rain.

It seemed that she was completely moved by the way he almost collapsed but held back his tears.

But nothing more.

She could not empathize, she could only feel the cold wind that they all felt, because the raindrops that were blowing hit their bodies and soaked their clothes.

In the face of a rainstorm, don't expect an umbrella to protect you.

This is the truth of the world.
