The Spirit World

Chapter 505 Return to the Source
"Brother Yufeng...what's wrong?"

Chang Yufeng's hasty escape made Lin'er even more uneasy. Lin'er was terrified and realized that she had to ask clearly.

From today on, this sudden incident made Chang Yufeng in a hurry. She didn't think it was that important at first. After all, Chang Yufeng was indeed different from others. And Chang Yufeng's increasingly weird behavior forced her to be careful. After being infected by the evil spirit, was Chang Yufeng still affected by it?

In the oppressive atmosphere of mass lockdowns and strict prohibitions, this is no fun.

"Do you feel any danger?" Lin'er was being pulled by Chang Yufeng to run. The hem of her purple skirt would hit her legs from time to time, just like layers of waves rolling on her thighs. Her little shoes stepped steadily on the ancient tiles of Wenti County even when she was running.

"Yes! Danger!" Chang Yufeng's voice was trembling. His breathing was extremely unstable while running. At this time, he was already beginning to feel a little tired.

Although he had just recovered from a serious illness, he was absolutely healthy. However, the physical strength of a normal child seemed to reach its limit all of a sudden. At this time, he was running breathlessly, causing the soldiers on martial law nearby to look at him vigilantly.

Danger……

Hatulin...

In this city.

If they came to find me, to be honest, there was a high probability that I would die at their hands. They killed people without blinking an eye and were powerful enough. Any member of Hatulin was extremely powerful, cruel and ruthless, with no mercy at all.

However, the more he ran, the more strange he felt. Why didn't the Hatulin member named Crow attack him directly, and even talked to him so naturally? She just treated him as a clever kid and didn't know him.

His fear caused his entire body to tremble slightly. This feeling was extremely subtle. When the city was sealed off, the first thing he thought of was the infection of demonic energy. Hearing about the death of Baron Neymar from passers-by, and now the appearance of Crow, a member of Hatulin, all made him tremble. These three clues were connected together, and the connection behind them could not help but be associated with Xun Huangying.

Will Xun Huangying modify the memories of some people in this world and delete everything about "Chang Yufeng" from the brains of the enemies who are targeting "Chang Yufeng"...

If that's the case, where is Xunhuangying now...where could he be?

If we trace back to the source of all nightmares, is it really me who was infected with evil spirits that day? Then why is the whole thing so weird in comparison? What happened to everything in Longzhong City and everything in the infinite reincarnation?
Could that be Xun Huangying’s dream?

Or maybe Xun Huangying used Lu Xinzhai's power to return to his real existence - the present with himself as the origin.

All the problems were thrown back to myself.

Normal people would not think about whether they should live or not. After experiencing so many things, Chang Yufeng was always thinking about whether he should live and for whom he should live.

His final answer was to choose himself, instead of what Xun Huangying told him over and over again in his head, to protect Lin'er - to live for her.

As Chang Yufeng no longer has the thinking of a normal child, everything he experiences is so wonderful.

To the extent that, it seemed as if he had lived countless lives... In each life, he ended in death, and in the last life, he seemed to be forcibly thrown to this point in time.

That is, in the real body of himself, whose name is Chang Yufeng.

During the time he was recovering from his eye injury, he stayed indoors and tried to sort out his previous memories.

The memories with Lin'er now - there are many, and they are only in this world, that is, in the orphanage... everything he and Lin'er experienced...

He was caught for climbing a wall, he was beaten and scolded by an old lady for beating a dog, he and Lin'er were wandering on the street, they made a snowman together in the yard, he went to the hospital where Lin'er was, but he didn't find her as he wished.

That is the signal to return to one place with the memories that one has.

He understood that he was now his true self.

Whether in Wenti County or Bailing Mountain, all his memories have never left these two places. That is the proof of the life he has experienced time and time again.

To put it in simple terms, he experienced reincarnation.

In the cycle of life, in the same era, everything he did was vivid in his mind. The only thing that did not change was that the people and videos he had met would appear to varying degrees. Everything in Wenti County and everything in Bailing Mountain, people and things seemed to have appeared, and were not always related to himself.

There are people with whom you have had in-depth communication, and there are also people who are just passers-by in front of you. They appear and leave. In essence, they all live in the "present" in different ways - they spend the same time as you, and when they have not met you, they exist, live, and experience a life that you have not encountered.

This is another wonderful experience...

He stayed indoors, thinking about future strategies, and during this time, his parents Rajel and Alia came to talk to him about some things. Facing Rajel who seemed a little apologetic for being exposed for secretly learning guide knowledge from Old Tom, Chang Yufeng didn't care. He learned from Old Tom not only to learn guide knowledge. Old Tom treated him like he told him everything he knew, and he realized his maturity after spending more time with him.

As a guide, you need to meet all kinds of people and get along with all kinds of people, from kings and nobles to ordinary people. Old Tom knows them all, and he gave all the people he met a name, that is - people.

Old Tom said that he had understood the true meaning of life, that is, living itself is something that people have to struggle for their whole lives. He has many regrets and many good memories, which actually have nothing to do with anyone, because everyone who survives does not know whether they should live or not, but their parents, in a sense, "force" them to live, influence them with their words and deeds, and let them say their dreams themselves - who wants to be rich, who wants to be a writer, and who wants to be a teacher. All these are not innate, but are promoted by their parents and their own experiences. Whether they have completed or not, or whether they have completed well or not, the essential reason does not come down to themselves, but comes from life itself - that is - living.

Chang Yufeng naturally didn't understand such profound things. Speaking of it, Chang Yufeng felt like laughing and inexplicably relieved. Old Tom taught him so attentively and told him the experience he had summed up after experiencing a bad life - that is - living itself is the meaning of human existence. It is not shameful to fight for a better life, but if you don't do everything well and embark on a road of no return, you will always suffer, because in a life of no return, you are always hostile to others. No one wants to be enemies with others, even the enemies of the whole world with good moral values ​​- that will be a large group of people, and they will never die.

After experiencing various lives based on my current self, the seeds of old Tom's mature ideas that influenced me have actually taken root and sprouted.

Compared to all lives, all lives named Chang Yufeng, most of the time, are lived aimlessly or even meaninglessly.

For those who do not understand the true meaning of life, living like this will only cause troubles...Why do people live?

And now, I am living in a world that belongs to my original self as if I were reborn... So, do you have any thoughts in your heart about planning your life?

Speaking of planning, it is better to say that after being influenced by others, one's inner heart really wants to do something, have something, and truly live.

He thought about it for a long time, and when he told his parents Rajel and Alia about the problem, Alia looked at Chang Yufeng in surprise.

Rajel also looked at his son in surprise and relief. After a long talk with his son, his son said such a philosophical sentence. Erica and Lin'er, the two children present, were confused and didn't know what he was talking about. Aria coughed and said to him earnestly: "My child... This matter should not be told to you by me and your father. In this world, there are many truths that children don't understand. Only by experiencing it personally can you know it. For example, some people will do things that are prohibited. In other words, why do some people still do things even though the law clearly stipulates that certain things cannot be done? Why do some siblings who are supposed to love each other hate each other more than enemies because of their parents' inheritance? In such a world, no one can really give an answer."

"I think what you said is too profound, Aria..." Rajel touched Erica's little head and reminded her.

"I believe my son can understand... This is a mother's intuition." Alia touched Chang Yufeng's head and reached out to touch Lin'er's head.

"Our children are smart enough. We should teach them how to deal with various problems, various emotions, and the ability to sort out various chaotic thoughts. This is very important for them, Rajel." Alia looked at Rajel, and Rajel nodded.

At this time, the three children all looked towards their mother who was shining brightly under the light, even though the light was not enough to illuminate everywhere in this small house.

Chang Yufeng opened his closed eyes, as if he could see his mother shining.

"What's important is... my children, what kind of person do you want to be. This is what you should think about... It's not a specific thing, such as wanting to become a great magician, but to become a kind-hearted, motivated, positive and brave person, a person with good qualities, who can overcome his own shortcomings and do well in all walks of life with a clear conscience. What's important is your thoughts. Even if you go astray on this road, your father and I will only think that our children are facing a choice. This choice may require our help, but we still hope that our children should have their own lives... live for themselves."

"Mom...I don't understand..." Erica grabbed her father's hand and looked up at her mother.

"Your mother is telling you that you need to be our little baby forever. Do you understand? Ruirui~" Rajel forcefully loosened Erica's hair, causing Erica's hair to be lifted up beside her ears. Erica was tickled and giggled.

"Zizi... What I mean is that how you want to live should be decided by you... But it should not be out of touch with reality, and you should have enough planning. Then you should work hard without leaving any effort." Aileya looked at Chang Yufeng who was silent and said: "All the problems you face in the future will be solved by yourself to a large extent, whether it is emotional or life. This requires you to have an independent judgment and make a balanced judgment between justice and yourself. I think this matter should be figured out by you, but no matter what your choice is... Your father and I will be your strongest backing."

"I understand..." Chang Yufeng nodded: "I want to accept my father's suggestion and go to Fulan to study... In terms of cultivation, I have learned a lot from you. I will even be more polite than an educated person, and I will not be unreasonable and arrogant because of other things. What I lack most now is knowledge and ability. I think that in this world, no matter who you are, you hope to be a person with sufficient knowledge and strong ability. When I have the cultivation and mind you teach me, I think I should really learn enough knowledge and ability. Although I entered school four years later than them, and even my talent is worse than theirs, but when I think about it, I find that I don't need to worry at all, because what I need to stick to now is just the improvement of knowledge and ability. I have no distractions, and the fun of my peers will not make me feel envious, and I will not lose myself and indulge myself in the future. Then, I really hope to study for a long time."

Alia and Rajel listened to every word Chang Yufeng said. What he said was not like what a child said at all. He was more like a young man with high spirits. He always had great knowledge and vision, and he had a clear enough understanding of himself.

The other two children's eyes also lit up. Their brother, the boy who said these things calmly with his eyes closed, was so handsome and it touched them.

During this conversation, Chang Yufeng analyzed his own advantages. He understood the environment he was in and knew what he should do. But that was not enough. This was just a paper talk, which made his words seem empty. He knew that he would encounter difficulties, and some difficulties would even bother him for a long time, and there would be no answer until the end, but he was not afraid of such a situation.

Rajel and Alia gave advice and solutions on his travel expenses and living needs. Apart from the fact that the young professor named Pylos in Fran was a friend of his father Rajel, Rajel told Chang Yufeng that the professors in Fran were extremely protective of their sons. Knowing that it was their son who came to study, they would definitely agree. However, he also did not like people with connections, so Chang Yufeng must have some independent source of income and the status of a formal student of Fran.

Chang Yufeng missed the Dragon Contest, which meant he voluntarily gave up the enrollment in Flandre Royal Academy. This was indeed a loss of a great opportunity, because in the Dragon Contest, there were miscellaneous events besides the mainstream events. There were many people participating in this event, because most people did not know magic and could only learn miscellaneous events from a young age, and there were not many people who excelled in the miscellaneous events. Therefore, with Chang Yufeng's experience, it was not impossible for him to stand out in the miscellaneous events.

There are many ways to enter Fran. The obvious way is to be gifted and have extraordinary abilities. The hidden way is to get a recommendation from a prominent family, including but not limited to money.

The recommendation quota is guaranteed by the reputation of the prominent family. If something happens to the recommender, or even breaks the law, he or she will be banned from having the recommendation quota. Therefore, the prominent families are very strict about this matter, and the recommenders are also very strict.

Generally speaking, the selection process to get a recommendation is even stricter than that for the Dragon Assembly, so most people would not want to get this spot.

Those who are over the formal school admission age are the hot candidates for this place.

Legally speaking, Chang Yufeng and Erica are, in a sense, the only surviving children of Mousse Village, so Alia and Rajel hope to use this identity to write a letter to Longxu Gong, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Wenti County, to help him find a way to get a possible recommendation and obtain the identity of Fran's external student.

Lord Longxu was very concerned about this matter and replied quickly. The letter said that Caroline's third daughter, Lilia Caroline, was studying in the Ministry of Magic of the Royal Academy of Fran and was now a fourth-year student. Lilia Caroline was not in good health, so they had been recruiting children who were good enough to get recommendations and take good care of Lilia Caroline. Therefore, Chang Yufeng got the opportunity to face Lilia's father [Maldo D. Caroline], and Maldo personally examined Chang Yufeng.

After this matter was settled, Chang Yufeng's eyes were almost healed. Chang Yufeng wanted to discuss this matter with his master, Old Tom, and more importantly, tell him that he might be leaving soon.

This is why what happened today happened. Old Tom did not come... and the city was closed.

Chang Yufeng's fear was not groundless. When he heard the name of the crow and compared it with the image of the crow he had seen, his fear was revealed, and it was even unacceptable to him.

It seemed like everything was not going on the right track, but something so big happened.

But just like he said, all he has to do now is just one thing.

Protect Lin'er and protect yourself.

This must be determined based on his current strength and situation. He doesn't know what level Lin'er's strength is at, so he must be careful and cautious.

He ran, perhaps because the contrast between him and Hatulin was like heaven and earth.

Now, he slowly relaxed his nervousness and slowly stopped.

"Although it is dangerous, the more anxious I am, the more likely it is that something bad will happen..." Chang Yufeng seemed to be talking to himself.

He stopped and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Stay away from the crowd... We are infected by the evil spirit. The fewer people there are, the safer it is." Chang Yufeng looked at everything around him firmly. People were in awe and stayed indoors. Those walking on the street were in a state of panic and fear.

And maybe I should be afraid, but not with the emotions I have now.

He looked back at the road behind him. The crow did not chase him. He held Lin'er's hand tightly so that Lin'er could feel his sudden change. Perhaps a 180-degree reversal suddenly occurred in his mind.

The boy's keen awareness, excellent judgment and calm response gave her an illusion.

If this were an idol drama now... then this boy would be the male protagonist who rescued her from crisis, and she herself would be the one being rescued, and was willing to be rescued by him.

Because he is reliable enough to make people feel at ease.

Looking at her back, Lin'er was in a trance and saw a man in black clothes standing so reliably in front of him. The white plum blossom engraved on his shoulder was so dazzling, like the brilliance of stars dotted in the night sky, crossing the sky and falling into the nebula.
