The Spirit World

Chapter 614 As if
【Sheep are important to everyone. 】

"Why did you fall over again? Don't move!"

Xiaoxing placed his hand on the back of Chang Yufeng's head. His long white hair had been dyed red with blood. This foolish man stared at the sky, like deep tears, slowly flowing...

This dark cloud shines brightly in the sky of Nanqi Forest.

Xiaoxing turned Chang Yufeng over again, and slowly lay down on the table. His thin body was light enough that even a child like Xiaoxing could help him up quickly.

The blood-red hair was incredibly sticky and had been tangled into knots, intertwining the smooth white hair into a mess.

He kept his eyes open but stopped talking...

"Master said you are pitiful~" Xiaoxing spoke softly in his ear, and the master glanced at him from the side, as if he knew Xiaoxing mentioned himself. The master put the firewood into the fire, turned his head, and held a fish on a bamboo skewer in each hand.

"When we bought this coffin... that old man was so annoying!"

Xiaoxing used his little hands to help Chang Yufeng pull out the tangled red and white hair: "He said that this coffin was placed here by a man and a woman five years ago. I heard there is another one, but he has already sold that one."

Xiao Xing glanced at his master and continued to twist a blood clot: "Don't be sad... The master is not that bad, he won't chase you away... But you have to work... Help the master to pick up some treasures and then sell them."

The master glanced at Xiaoxing again. He did not show any displeasure. Instead, he sighed deeply, stabbed a fish with another bamboo stick, and roasted it over the flame of the firewood pile.

"Don't be sad... Master said you were buried alive by someone... That must be very painful..." Xiaoxing pulled Chang Yufeng's red hair and smoothed it with his hand. The blood-red long hair seemed to slide slowly in Xiaoxing's small hand: "But don't be sad... You are still alive now... As long as you are alive, you should not waste every minute and every second of your life on those sad things."

"Poor guy... maybe you should be happier... no matter what you've been through... or, stop being so sad..."

Xiaoxing comforted this stunned stranger. Even though it was the first time they met, Xiaoxing treated him sincerely.

Xiaoxing looked at Chang Yufeng's dull face, then looked at his master, who was already eating grilled fish. The light under the cold moon was so bright. The master glanced at Xiaoxing again and sprinkled salt from a small bottle on the grilled fish.

"Where are you from... What happened to you, big brother?" Xiaoxing's voice was very sweet. He used his little hands to touch Chang Yufeng's white hair. Chang Yufeng's temples were already gray, as if time had abandoned him... So much so that this prejudice against time has become crazy from the object that is most likely to reflect time on people...

Even the wind cannot blow away this sticky blood and white hair...even the wind can only touch it lightly, leaving no trace.

"Why are you so sad..." Xiaoxing felt that what he said was not accurate, and repeated it again very softly: "Can you tell me why you are sad? The master said...if there is anything sad, you can say it out, and you will feel better..."

Chang Yufeng looked at her big eyes, those bright blue pearls, and that flaming red hair...

He didn't know how he should answer. Even if he said anything in this empty heart, it would only be words that had nothing to do with him...

He was silent, which meant he no longer spoke.

"Not everyone has sad things..." Xiaoxing wanted to continue speaking, but was interrupted by his master.

"Girl! Eat! Don't worry about him!" The master scratched his waist, probably because a flea bit his back: "If you don't eat, the master will eat it all!"

"Master..." Xiaoxing walked around to the master and sat down next to the campfire: "What should I do... He is so sad... He doesn't say anything..."

"What does his sadness have to do with you? Silly girl! Just eat your meal! Don't bother with him!" The chef put the grilled fish next to Xiaoxing's hand. Xiaoxing had no choice but to pick up the skewer. The grilled fish was full of freshness and fragrance, and with the addition of salt, it was quite delicious.

"Master!" Xiaoxing stared at his master with big eyes, and slowly placed the fish in front of Chang Yufeng. Xiaoxing looked at Chang Yufeng and smiled: "Eat something... ok?"

She actually begged Chang Yufeng: "Eat this, and I won't bother you anymore..."

"Young man, where are you from? How did you get locked in a coffin? And why were you locked in a coffin for so long?"

The master didn't think that nailing a person to death in a coffin was a bad behavior... or rather, he didn't care about the logic behind it. He only knew that the kid had indeed jumped out of the coffin. As for the reason, he could just ask the master, and there was no need to guess.

Chang Yufeng did not feel hungry yet, because his stomach had been riddled with holes due to the long time. The healing spiritual power was slowly repairing this part, making it impossible for him to eat anything.

He saw Xiaoxing's small shoes, which were intact under the campfire. They were a pair of pointed shoes, which seemed to be specially used for dancing. Xiaoxing's feet were very small, but the shoes were a little big. His ankles could reach the edge of the shoes, but his heels could not.

"forget……"

But when he heard the word "another coffin", he lost some spirit and looked at the old master who was chewing the fish.

"Ah! You finally spoke... I can see that you are not a mute." Xiaoxing combed Chang Yufeng's hair with a small red comb: "Now that you are awake, eat something first... How can you not eat..."

"I...can't imagine...why I came back..."

Chang Yufeng's voice was almost healed, but he still kept it low. His voice was like the sound of a bell: "Where... is this place?"

He lowered his head, looking at the dusk in the sky, letting Xiaoxing tidy up his hair. He didn't understand why Xiaoxing was so kind to a dying man like him...

Perhaps, he was like a wounded cat. The red blood on his body, hair, and face did not scare this eight-year-old child. Perhaps Chang Yufeng's current miserable appearance was pitiful, and the child's compassion for the injured kitten was aroused and overflowed.

"This is Nanqi Forest... I think you should understand the Principality dialect. Nan means south, and Qi means pray."

"Nanqi... is it the Nanqi Town of Fulan..." Chang Yufeng felt Xiaoxing pulling a long hair of his. He was slightly pulled to look at his hair. The long white hair was slowly pulled smooth by Xiaoxing's hand. "Yes... but it's not right... that was in the past... now it's called Fulan District, not just Fulan." The master bit a piece of fish, afraid of dropping it, so he dragged it into his mouth with his hand: "The principality is divided into pieces, and now this is the territory of the Tiger Chasing Faction, so it is called Fulan District."

"What does it mean..." Chang Yufeng thought about all the names that should appear in his memory. Fulan, how could it become the Fulan area... He had heard of the Tiger Chasing Sect a little bit. He was persecuted by the Tiger Chasing Sect and fell into decline.

"I looked at your coffin. The formation inside can keep you from rotting for more than ten years without food or water. It shouldn't be a revenge killing... Look at the ashes inside... I see that you are a little confused. I should ask you first, so that I can tell you what your current situation is..."

The master stared at Chang Yufeng, who was eating fish and chewing the bones.

"Who are you? What have you been through? Tell me everything... Then I'll tell you..."

Chang Yufeng listened to his words and went to see him. The master's two goatees trembled, and he tore the meat of the fish with his hands and put it in a bowl.

The master nodded again and asked Chang Yufeng to explain in detail.

Chang Yufeng turned her head and glanced at Xiaoxing. Xiaoxing squinted his eyes and looked at her with a smile. She rubbed the white and blood-red hair and stroked it gently. The blue crescent reflected her face in a white color, and her short red hair swayed gently in the wind.

"My name is Chang Yufeng, I was born in 2015, Wenti County..."

"Wentijun..." The master stroked his beard and stuffed the broken bones of the fish into his mouth, and his voice began to pop: "Interesting..."

Chang Yufeng paused slowly, and then slowly began to speak: "I was born and raised in Wenti County. When I was ten years old, I came to Fulan to study because of the recommendation of Longxu Gong. Now, eight years have passed, that is, when I was eighteen years old, my memory was cut off in the summer of 2034. I was hunted to death by the people of the Zhuhu Sect. When I woke up, I came here."

Chang Yufeng recounted in a somewhat vague manner everything he saw in his last moments.

"Then what……"

Chang Yufeng shook his head and said no more.

"2034..." The master stood up. He was a little exhausted because he was deflated when he said this. He put the small bowl on the table and sprinkled salt slowly: "No wonder..."

"When I bought shoes for Xing, I went to the vineyard again. The old man told me that he knew there was someone in the coffin. You were brought to the manor by his distant nephew one night five years ago. There was also a woman, who was placed in a special coffin for preservation, just like you."

The master put a piece of fish meat next to Xiaoxing's mouth. Xiaoxing ate it with a "ah", and began to chew happily. Her pair of red-tail shoes, which looked like dancing shoes, grabbed the bloody knots in Chang Yufeng's hair, pinching and kneading them to help Chang Yufeng straighten his hair.

"He said you were still breathing, but he nailed you in. He thought his distant nephew had committed a crime and sold it to me today. It was only because the vineyard was occupied by those monsters that he wanted to leave here and escape to another place, so he cleared out the two coffins. So, the person in the other coffin should be the same as you, or know you... and that nephew?"

The master sat back down and began to pour salt into a small jar. The white salt flowed into the jar like a waterfall, making a rustling sound.

"I don't know... maybe my body was picked up by someone else... or... I... was saved by someone else in this way..." Chang Yufeng really recovered his vitality, but he supported his head with his hands and supported his forehead. He could speak coherently at this time: "I need to thank that person, but these five years, I guess he has left me..."

"Now, today, it's different from the past." The master sighed, he looked up and sighed: "Five years ago, Fulan was still called Fulan, now, Fulan is called Fulan District. You have been gone for the past five years, it's really too tragic..."

"Why..." Chang Yufeng saw the old master sighing, and the doubts in his heart finally settled down...

Five years...How many five years do we have in life...

He should have died... Who in this world can really come back to life and live forever...

"It was also in that year... the demon tribe emerged from the demon realm and led a large army to launch a surprise attack on the Hundred Beasts Kingdom. Then, within a month, they annexed the entire Hundred Beasts Kingdom and established the Demon Kingdom..."

"The territory of the Kingdom of Beasts is so vast, how is it possible to occupy it within a month..." Chang Yufeng looked at the old master in shock as he put the fish into the jar one by one.

The Kingdom of Beasts, starting from the northernmost border, is uninhabited to the north. To the south, the Kingdom of Beasts [Tengshan Prairie] borders the Principality [Yilan Qiusuo Plateau], to the west it borders the northern end of the Empire [Dangfeng Mountain], and to the east it borders [Malosofi Bay]. It is the northern border of the four major countries in the Spirit Realm. Although there are many independent beast cities, the combat power of each different beast tribe should not be something that ordinary people can break through. The border is vast and boundless, and it should not be invaded and overthrown by foreign monsters in just one month...

"It's not just occupation, it's destruction... Even if the Hundred Beasts Nation is openly torn apart, in reality, as its name suggests, it is like a hundred beast nations. Carnivores and herbivores can never get along on a large scale... The arrival of the demons only tore through their false peace and real infighting."

The old master took the body of a fish that had been gutted and drained of its flesh and blood, placed it in a jar, and turned it over and over. He did not use any spiritual power, but turned the fish over with his own hands and pickled them.

"One month is indeed not reasonable... But there is no other way... Not to mention the Elf Kingdom in the south, which has no border with the Kingdom of Beasts, even the Principality of the Empire is already struggling to take care of itself. The Kingdom of Beasts' letter for help is probably enough to deal with it. So, it was destroyed... The people of the Kingdom of Beasts died or fled... There is nothing we can do about it..."

The old master sighed, but said it lightly, and even smiled: "The principality was raided by the demon tribe during the internal strife... and ended up like this now..."

"What did the demon tribe do here...in the principality?"

The Kingdom of Beasts had no connection with Chang Yufeng, but when the principality was mentioned, his worry and shock showed on his face. Xiaoxing also tidied up Chang Yufeng's hair and took some water to help Chang Yufeng wash away the blood stains.

"Many vicious monsters have appeared in the Principality... In the Wenti County you mentioned, there is a terrifying dragon lurking in the north of the Principality, and in the south, there has been an uncontrollable plague that has continued to this day. In the west bordering the Empire, an elemental vortex has ravaged the people, and the war between the Dragon-chasing Faction and the Tiger-chasing Faction has messed up the entire Principality... And in the sea to the east, there is an island of bliss that has appeared. It is relatively peaceful there, and many people have fled there..."

The old master seemed to be thinking of something sad, but he laughed again: "No wonder the demon tribe was able to succeed in the surprise attack and occupy the land as the king..."

"The demon tribe... launched a surprise attack on Fran?"

"That's not the case... it's just that the Tiger Chasing Faction... changed Fran into a region... and together with the demon tribe... occupied this place..."

The old master took out his hand, sealed the jar with a red cloth, tied a knot with a rope, looked at Chang Yufeng in disbelief, and laughed: "How is it? After sleeping for five years... is it like a dream?"
