A new journey begins in an uncharted bamboo forest, walking on a road that seems to never end. There is no end, and every stop is the beginning of the next journey.
Bai Feng originally thought that he had been mentally prepared for this and that he should live a carefree life, but this was not the case.
For a long period of time, rescuing Murong Yan and Xi'er was his whole life. Now that his wish has been fulfilled, his wife and daughter have returned to him. In the process, he has also solved the difficulties in Beizhen. Master Gao Zhen's last wish has also been fulfilled.
It is about to be achieved, and the Gao family army will return to the place where they made their fortune.
It all seems so smooth, even though the process is tortuous and dangerous, there is always a good result.
However, Bai Feng could not feel the taste of victory.
Recalling that he walked down Yangshan Mountain four years ago, he was filled with stubbornness, vowing to fight against the sky and the earth, and to change the world no matter what. At this moment, he was questioning himself in his heart.
"Did I do it?"
He didn't care at all what the answer was, because before he had this question, a new problem appeared. During the difficult journey, he struggled with it day and night, and it seemed that he couldn't think of a reason, so he couldn't say a word anymore.
Bai Feng rolled up his trousers and stood at the most turbulent part of the river. He looked towards the water. In the reflection, he had not washed or shaved his face for days. Now his face was covered with stubble, messy and dirty. He finally found a place near the river during the journey.
At the resting place, I was able to wash away the fishy smell on my body, but in the end I was unwilling to take action.
He just stood there, imagining that he was a fish in the river, swimming upstream, and was accidentally entangled in the whirlpool in the water...
I really want to move my body as hard as I can, but I am powerless.
——It turns out that fish can also drown in water?
There is an inescapable undercurrent, and it conforms to destiny.
With a "plop", Bai Feng suddenly fell asleep in the river.
Murong Yan and Yu Ke, who were still setting up camp, heard the sound and worked together to drag Bai Feng back to the shore.
"Brother Feng, are you sick?"
"Sworn brother!"
Dragging a man's body through the water, they had to wet their clothes. After returning to the camp, they each took off their soaked clothes, leaving only their stomachs and silk buns to sit quietly by the campfire.
In the dark night, as his consciousness was vaguely awakening, Bai Feng accidentally caught two graceful figures. He couldn't see clearly and could only tell who was who from their actions and voices.
"Sister, what happened to my sworn brother? He didn't say a word along the way, and he suddenly fainted just now..."
"Brother Feng, you are far from being as strong as you think."
"Is it because of Brother Fu?"
"Maybe it's more complicated."
"What should we do if our adopted brother falls?"
"We deliberately bypassed Jinyang and headed southwest along the way, and it was fine! Don't worry, we just need to stay with him all the time."
The dizzy feeling was not relieved at all by these comforting words, but Bai Feng didn't want to fall in front of them, so she could only force herself to stand up.
One step, two steps.
Shaking and stagnating.
When Bai Feng was about to hit his head on the ground, two equally strong arms supported his body.
"Brother Feng, do you want some water?"
"Brother, be careful!"
Murong Yan went to scoop up some warm water and fed it into Bai Feng's mouth bit by bit. Yu Ke put the dry coat on Murong Yan's body, put on his own clothes to cover up, and then came to the place where Xi'er was sleeping soundly.
After taking a look and confirming that he was fine, he asked: "Brother, let's find a town to live in first, and then ask a doctor to help you take care of your health, right?"
Bai Feng shook his head.
"Then...where should we go?" Murong Yan said with a hint of apology, and nodded: "Brother Feng, after picking up Xi'er, I really can't think of anywhere else to go."
Bai Feng said stiffly: "I don't know."
Murong Yan and Yu Ke didn't hear very clearly, so they both moved their ears closer.
"I don't know why I feel sad - I rescued Yan'er and our daughter, I should have done a good job, right?" Bai Feng sneered: "But I don't feel anything.
What makes me happy is because I abandoned Beizhen and Brother Fu? No, it should be because I haven't been able to deal with Sima Tu yet, so I can only escape and live in the mountains like a wild man drinking blood. There is no way, even if
No matter how hard you struggle, you are just a fish in the river, waiting to be swallowed by the whirlpool."
This was the first time Bai Feng spoke since he had been silent for days, and he would talk endlessly. He did not expect anyone to answer, but continued to preach: "God did not let me die an unexpected death, but Bai Feng is incompetent, how can he do it?"
One person can resist the entire world? The Tao of Taiping will never be able to kill or destroy them all. No matter what era, there will always be a place for those who know how to exploit people's hearts."
Murong Yan said: "Brother Feng, no one can change everything by themselves, but there are some people in this world who are changing because of you - this is also the human heart."
Yu Ke nodded repeatedly and said sadly: "Brother, please don't be sad, okay? I don't know what to say, but you have done a good enough job."
"Since neither Zhongyuan nor Beizhen can accommodate us, I want to go back to where it all started." Bai Feng recalled Gao Zhen's experience: "Master once said that when you don't know what to do, you might as well try.
Go back to the place where you started and get to know yourself again. Master lived in Kunlun Mountain for twenty years, but we don’t know if the Taoist temple there is still there?”
In twenty years, deserts can turn into oases, mountains can turn into flatlands, and villages can turn into towns.
No one was sure about this before arriving in Kunlun.
"Will they still remember Master?" Bai Feng's heart was filled with all kinds of uncertain thoughts, but he also had a firm direction: "Yan'er, you were right just now, I was too eager for success.
, but forgot all the people who gradually united around me, their existence proves that my efforts are not in vain!"
——Struggle is meaningful.
He stood up and pumped his fist vigorously, as if to tell others that the once proud young man had "returned victoriously."
I don’t know if the noise was too loud, but Xi’er woke up crying.
It was rare that Bai Feng took the initiative to comfort the child, but she didn't know that she had a strong smell. As she got closer, Xi'er cried louder. Murong Yan picked up her daughter and walked away, deliberately saying with disgust: "Look at you.
Your stinky daddy, he hasn’t rinsed his mouth for several days and still wants to seduce our Xi’er!”
Bai Feng smiled awkwardly and walked aside to sleep. Tomorrow morning, he went to the river to wash himself from head to toe. The dusty sword was also taken out. He almost forgot where he drew the sword last time.
Time passed, everything passed by, the cloud shadows were like a dream, and at the same time, he was unwilling to think about the purpose of drawing his sword next time.
He just quietly put the Longming Sword into the river and washed it clean, that's all.
"Kunlun Mountain, in this direction."
Bai Feng raised his sword and pointed, the road was open.
