The Spirit World

Chapter 739: The Sad Son

God is one and only.

It is a world of possibilities created by the butterfly effect of different choices made by people.

The star line is the entrance to its realm.

In order to distinguish [Chang Yufeng, the god with the heart of God] and [Chang Yufeng in the beginning], two people with different time spans but [the same person], the former is distinguished by his mother's surname [Chang] Yufeng and the latter is distinguished by his father's surname [Ning Yufeng].

[Empire 2012, Principality 2015, the turn of spring and summer. ]

The howling wind and snow are galloping in the Far North, sweeping away everything like whistling war horses. The indigenous people who have lived here for three thousand years know that this is the time when the wind and snow are the most violent in the year. Only when the raging wind and snow leave will there be a glimmer of hope for the thousands of lives on this land.

The god named Chang Yufeng was walking in the snow. His kingly form could drive away all the cold, but in order to distinguish himself from Ning Yufeng and avoid any intersection or misunderstanding with himself who was not yet a god, and also in order to avoid any intersection or misunderstanding with the [various mysterious people] he had seen wearing [black wizard robes], Chang Yufeng wore a white wizard robe with a white hood.

He was not feeling anxious at all, nor was he disturbed by the ferocious beasts here. The ferocious beasts hiding in the far north had been hungry for a whole season and were now at their most ferocious. He did not want to cause any trouble, so he walked quietly on the snow, not wanting to reveal any trace of his presence.

In the heavy snow, Talon, which buried countless treasures, was like an old man shivering in the snow, and under the old man's feet were countless treasures.

The guests who came from afar had the biggest and wildest desire, wanting to take possession of the treasure that Talon possessed. Here, there were countless dry bones and incomplete new graves.

Talon's barrier protects an imperial city called Huazhou. Although it is a city, compared with the vastness and desolation of the snow-covered ground, it can be said to be a palm-sized vegetable garden.

But the vegetable garden is too small. Magnificent palaces are not uncommon in Talon. The vermilion woods, glazed tile roofs, white walls and mortise-and-tenon structures combined together show the wisdom of craftsmen and the ancients. The rockery and water echo each other, the jagged stone mountains and snow-capped forests come into view, and the endless magic spring sends you away. Thousands of miles away, it is as if this unique Huazhou is left alone, making people all over the world fascinated.

The rosy glow in this vast white land seems even longer and lasts longer, and there are those clearly visible ice crystal flowers blooming inside and outside the barrier.

Chang Yufeng knocked on the vermilion gate of Huazhou, and two crisp knocks reached the rabbit's ears.

The rabbit boy in a suit put down the chess piece in his hand and glanced at his somewhat surprised master. The two looked at each other without moving.

The bunny boy was wearing a neat and elegant suit. Although he had bunny ears, he looked no different from an ordinary person.

His shoes were not that fancy, they were a pair of furry rabbit-head shoes.

The master was tall and straight, wearing a blue and white robe with two large sleeves fluttering in the wind. The accessories between his slender waist were also covered with gems. He was rare and handsome, with red lines drawn at the corners of his eyes, as if he had a special eyebrow technique. His clothes were also rarely engraved with black plum blossoms.

"Master... is there someone asking for directions again?" Dada was about to stand up and put the chess piece into the box.

"If he is asking for directions, you must point him out carefully, otherwise it will be hard to survive in this snowstorm." Ning Ji rolled up his sleeves to his chest, holding the white chess piece, hesitating, frowning slightly, and half-raising the chess piece and said: "If he is not asking for directions, you should lead him to the compartment first, so that he won't get cold. It would be better to make some soup for the guest."

"I understand." Dada stood up, smoothed his clothes to make them smooth and clean, then put on his shoes and got off the podium.

Passing through the long corridor with vermilion pillars and white walls, Dada came to the huge door. He placed his hand on the seal of the barrier, pushed open a hole, poked his head out to take a look at the man under the hood, and asked softly.

"What can I do for you, sir?"

"I need to meet Huazhou's master."

Chang Yufeng looked at Dada's rabbit ears moving slightly, and the unfamiliar face that suddenly flashed in his memory. A strong heat flowed through his whole body, causing his palms to sweat slightly, but that was all. He was no longer a young man with too many emotions.

Now, he can only be calm.

"You want to see my master..."

Dada narrowed his eyes, and his two rabbit ears moved faster. He naturally didn't recognize Chang Yufeng, so he could only ask softly: "What did you see him for?"

"There is something very important..."

Chang Yufeng's face was hidden in the hood, and Dada was not tall, so he could only reach Chang Yufeng's waist. He looked up and could vaguely see Chang Yufeng's nose, but could hardly see anything else.

"Just a moment please……"

Dada closed the door and activated his beast soul power, channeling the purple power into the seal of the barrier. A purple halo fell from the sky and landed directly on Chang Yufeng's head.

The circle of light was so large that it directly covered Chang Yufeng, fell to the ground, and disappeared in an instant.

This should be a formation similar to the one used to ask for directions and marriage, both of which are checks to prevent evil spirits from entering the house.

As soon as the halo disappeared, the door was pushed open. Dada stood at the door, tilted his hand and said "please", and Chang Yufeng took advantage of the wind and snow to enter Huazhou.

The wind and snow outside the barrier were too strong. When Chang Yufeng entered the barrier, he was unexpectedly hit by the invisible barrier and turned into water vapor. Then he turned into small ice cones in the snow and fell to the ground.

The door closed and small icicles fell to the ground.

"Are you a native of Talon?" Dada walked in front of Chang Yufeng and led the white-robed guest to the compartment.

Dada listened to Chang Yufeng's steady footsteps and regular heartbeat, and was silently thinking about this person's origins in his heart.

Most of those who came out of the wind and snow were lost. Even if they came to discuss important matters, they should not be so calm and composed, and they should not be able to hear any urgency about important matters.

Actions can be deceiving, but the heart cannot.

Chang Yufeng's calmness is all about plain indifference, without any emotion mixed in.

"I need to see Huazhou's master...I have something important to discuss with him."

Chang Yufeng naturally would not answer questions about where he was from, nor would he say any more polite words.

We are not here to play or have fun, and if we still have to be three parts polite and seven parts nonsense, it would be too lacking in directness.

"You drink your tea first, I'll go call the master." Dada naturally realized that Chang Yufeng was not a good person. The faint glow around King Chang Yufeng's Dharma image was even more beautiful than Talon's barrier.

This was the first time he had met him, so he didn't care about Chang Yufeng. Since there was something important to discuss, he quickly walked out of the guest room and went to find Ning Ji.

Chang Yufeng did not look around, nor was he able to appreciate the beautiful scenery here. The carved stone paintings were indeed telling stories in rows on the top of the stone walls. The fragrance from the flowers planted in Huazhou's rockery and artificial water was also acceptable.

There are no real rare treasures worth appreciating here, or perhaps this is just a compartment for receiving guests, and only country bumpkins with some refinement might pay attention to it.

But Chang Yufeng was not a country bumpkin. He had traveled between the principality and the empire. He had seen all kinds of strange objects and heard all kinds of strange things, but he did not see any difference and had never felt any aesthetic surprise.

All I can say is that in the vast sky full of white snow, the beauty of Huazhou is breathtaking, because there is no other beauty that can compare here.

Chang Yufeng himself has lived in a big city like Wenti County, and has also lived in the Bailing Mountain, which is ten miles long and has rich mountains and rivers. He has also learned a lot of systematic knowledge. His aesthetic taste is visible to the naked eye. Although he cannot be said to have the vision of a master, his flaws and perfunctory works are definitely obvious at a glance.

Huazhou City, standing in Talon, is like flowers blooming in the wilderness. It is pleasing to the eye at first glance, because it is difficult to grow flowers in the wilderness. Those vermilion woods, white walls, and glazed tiles are all beautiful at first glance. However, when you walk out of the wilderness and see more beautiful large flowers, you will feel that they are just ordinary and unlikely to become a masterpiece.

If we talk about the ingenuity of skilled craftsmen, then which other beautiful building is not the result of the ingenuity of skilled craftsmen?
It can only be said that the beauty of Talon is not unique. It is just a kind of imperial architectural beauty. If it is placed in other corners of the empire, it will be lost in the crowd and will disappoint people.

Chang Yufeng didn't care much about the scenery here. It was just that Dada had gone to find his father Ning Ji, and he was the only one left in the compartment. It was better than nothing, and he felt a little lonely.

At this moment, a giant white bird flew over the top of Huazhou, and a long phoenix cry was heard in the sky. The phoenix's tail passed through the sky and turned into colorful rays of light, and the white phoenix disappeared.

The scene was so beautiful that all creatures looked up to see it. Only when the white phoenix disappeared did people come to their senses and the legend of Talon became enduring.

Ning Ji looked at Chang Yufeng from around the compartment. Chang Yufeng was dressed in a white robe, which made him look handsome. He was carrying a sword, which made him look like a martial artist. He stood still and did not look around, like a piece of wood. Even if it was an important matter, he did not move in a hurry.

It is indeed different from ordinary people.

"Who is this……"

Ning Ji walked out, looked at Chang Yufeng standing, slowly sat down at the table, and motioned Chang Yufeng to sit down.

He pushed a tea bowl forward to the edge of the table.

"I don't have a name."

Chang Yufeng did not sit down, but stood there naturally, looking at his father Ning Ji quietly.

Ning Ji naturally couldn't recognize Chang Yufeng, and Chang Yufeng didn't give him any chance to recognize him. He only saw Chang Yufeng's kingly appearance was majestic, standing there like a battle-hardened general. Ning Ji really became serious and put down the tea bowl.

Ning Ji was not a man who had never seen the world. Seeing that Chang Yufeng had no intention of giving his name, he naturally would not force him.

Ning Ji's strength is also that of a demigod. He has seen many storms and waves. Like Chang Yufeng, he has also been cursed by his bloodline and has some forward-looking dreams. He no longer has the attitude of being surprised by such things as he did when he was young.

In fact, he didn't want to ask so many questions. If he was an enemy, he wouldn't stand here like this. If he was a friend, he wouldn't wear a white robe like this. If he was a normal person, he wouldn't answer like this.

He had received some lost travelers who were either frostbitten or had been ambushed by ferocious beasts and needed refuge.

There are only these two types, and Chang Yufeng is obviously the third type.

He stood up and glanced at Dada. Dada shook his head, and naturally knew what the gentleman wanted to ask, but it was obvious that this suspicious man was not someone who could be seen through at a glance.

Then there would be no need for politeness or nonsense.

"What do you want from me? But the Empire sent you?"

Ning Ji looked at Chang Yufeng carefully again. Chang Yufeng had no reason to be polite. He had no feelings for his father and even lacked a little information accumulation.

In his impression, the role of father has never appeared.

There is no need to appear again.

"Of course not." Chang Yufeng had no intention of keeping it a secret.

He looked at Ning Ji's scrutiny and said calmly, "I need to see your son. He guided me here."

Chang Yufeng told a little lie.

But it doesn't hurt.

The purpose of his coming here was to see himself.

That self that is the [original beginning].

Ning Ji heard Chang Yufeng's straightforward answer and frowned tightly, "Have you ever known Xun Huangying?"

He took two small steps around Chang Yufeng.

Chang Yufeng answered even calmer.

"know."

"Did you know that Xun Huangying made a contract with my son?"

"know."

"What do you want with him?"

"Your son led me here."

"Can you tell me the truth?"

"What truth?"

Chang Yufeng looked at Ning Ji coldly and his brows relaxed.

After only asking three questions, his brows relaxed, which really surprised Chang Yufeng.

But he still had a blank expression on his face, without much expression.

"Xun Huangying said that someone like you would come to look for my son. I just need to take you to find him..."

It turned out that Ning Ji had probably been informed of his arrival by Xun Huangying, which was why he behaved so calmly.

However, Chang Yufeng was not surprised at all, and only showed a deadly indifference.

When facing his father, he really had nothing good to say, or perhaps, any real feelings for him.

It was just because there was a kind of sustenance in his heart and blood, so he felt a little moved when he saw Ning Ji, but after a few words, Ning Ji did not speak like a father, or in other words, to this man in white robe, this person named Ning Ji was just Ning Ji.

Moreover, Ning Ji looked too young, only in his twenties... and Chang Yufeng's King's Dharma Image was also in his twenties, which was rare...

This is something so abrupt that it has no boundaries.

We can only be like strangers, and no one cares about anyone.

Ning Ji and Chang Yufeng looked at each other, without any emotion at all.

There won't be any emotions to speak of.

This is time and blood.

Relatives and friends are sometimes not that good.

It is impossible to expect family members who have never lived together to have a good relationship. That is just the self-admiration of bystanders.

At least, Chang Yufeng's heart has been broken for a long time, so it's hard for him to have any big emotional fluctuations.

He would be a good father because he himself grew up without a father, but he might not, and would definitely not, be a good son.

Because he doesn't have the company of his father and mother in his life.

Not even for a moment.
