There is an extremely abrupt official road in the misty and rain-shrouded forest. It is different from the undulating terrain around it. The road is smooth and wide, connecting four or five villages and small towns. All kinds of people pass by on it.
As one of the few places in the world that has not been touched by Taiping Dao, the road leading to Zoucheng is indeed deserted, but as soon as you walk through this place and come to the intersection of roads extending in all directions, traces of Taiping Daoists will appear again.
.
"Now that I think about it, among the people who advocated for my removal from office, there are many people who were bribed by Taiping Dao and colluded with Taiping Dao! In today's world, there may only be a clean place in Zoucheng." Yu Wenxuan
Lead the crowd to stand at a busy intersection.
The overlapping grass and fallen leaves give off a rotten smell, and people walk on it leaving footprints and whispering to each other.
Bai Feng looked back and found that there were indeed fewer people going to Zoucheng. Murong Yan also said with sadness: "Could it be that Master Yuwen made up the 'Cliff Carvings' to prevent Zoucheng from being gradually forgotten?"
' to attract more tourists to Zoucheng?"
"How can Miss Murong see this?" Yu Wenxuan said with a sneer: "Aren't there a few lines of quatrains left by a Taoist master on the cliff now? Since we are people left behind by the new era, what do we want to accomplish?
How can we do it without surprising others?"
Murong Yan joked: "Oh! So the master is Brother Feng..."
Bai Feng then said: "After seeing you for thousands of miles, you will have to say goodbye. Brother Yuwen, it's time for us to set off. Do you want to go back first?"
"When did I say goodbye to everyone?" Yu Wenxuan called his personal guard Zhu Dian over and ordered: "There is no need for D Dian to follow me this time. I will take care of myself."
"Young Master, how can you do that?!" Zhu Dian never expected that this would happen again, and asked: "Young Master is the ninth son of King Zhou, so you cannot act so recklessly. If the king blames you, how should I deal with it?"
?”
"As far as the current situation is concerned, what is the difference between me and the 'Deposed King'?" Yu Wenxuan said: "I wasted five years in vain, seeing that Taiping Dao is about to take the entire world into its palms, can I only be there by the side?
See? They are afraid of the bold words I made when I faced Sima Tu five years ago, and they will definitely not let me enter politics again. If I want to become a king, I must take another path!"
Zhu Dian knew that he could not stop what Yu Wenxuan was going to do, but after hearing these words, he suddenly felt relieved and said: "Sir, you are completely different from before. You have become more practical and brave. You are right. Continue
There may be other troubles if you stay in Zoucheng."
"This is all because of Brother Bai, even though I don't want to admit it." Yu Wenxuan smiled at Bai Feng and said, "Can I travel with you?"
"No!" Yu Ke interrupted at this time: "No, no, no, no! No!!!" Upon seeing this, Murong Yan quickly pushed her back behind her.
"This..." Yu Wenxuan scratched his head in embarrassment.
Bai Feng said: "You decide whether to go or stay. Just like before, I will not stop anyone from leaving or staying."
Zhu Dian formally bid farewell to his young master. Not long after, the rain gradually became heavier. Pedestrians on the road opened their umbrellas one after another. Bai Feng and his party could only temporarily lead their horses and walk in the autumn rain.
Murong Yan asked Yuwenxuan: "Master Yuwen just said, 'We are people left behind by the times.' In fact, this is not necessarily a bad thing for Brother Feng and I! If we can really be forgotten, maybe we can really
Stop and spend the rest of your life with peace of mind..."
"This kind of thing will not happen, because the lie will be exposed one day." When Yu Wenxuan mentioned Taiping Dao, he turned back into the resolute speaker and politician: "The foundation of Taiping Dao's existence is the 'Art of Immortality'
, as long as they use up the materials required for the spell, they will definitely come to find Miss Murong. The times have forgotten us not because we are incompetent, but because they are afraid of the fact that we will replace them, so they will deliberately forget."
Bai Feng said: "Brother Yuwen looks confident?"
"Of course, I firmly believe that justice will defeat evil!" As he spoke, Yu Wenxuan glanced at Yu Ke from time to time, and suddenly continued: "Miss Ake, I know that what I have done cannot be forgiven, but
Please believe that you will definitely change your opinion of me in the future."
"I won't believe a word of your words!" Yu Ke replied: "If I find anything wrong with you, I will kill you immediately!"
Murong Yan worriedly walked over and stopped her: "Ake, I don't even care anymore, why are you still like this? Brother Feng, don't even say anything!"
Bai Feng smiled and said: "Ask me what to say...A'ke, you did the right thing!"
"Of course I'm right!" Yu Ke was so praised by Bai Feng that his tail almost went up to the sky.
Bai Feng said: "Brother Yuwen, I want to go home first. It is the hometown of the forgotten people like us."
——Yangcheng.
"You mean, the ancient capital of the previous dynasty?" Yu Wenxuan said in surprise: "I didn't expect that Brother Bai is from Yangcheng."
Bai Feng said: "When I was young, I was a witness to that war."
There was a small town in front that was passed through by this official road. All the dozen or so shops were overcrowded, not because there were many people rushing to buy goods, but because the rain was so heavy that they had to take shelter under the roof.
These shops range in size from large to small. You can see the Yamen from the adjacent street. At the end of the street, there is a Taiping Taoist temple standing here. Traditional wooden buildings form its appearance, and incense is placed in front of the splendid statue.
Bai Feng understood that they had to leave here as soon as possible, so he quickly hurried out of the town. Once outside the town, there was another countryside and forest in front of him.
They didn't walk very far that day, and they were forced to sleep in the wild.
They are like outcasts in this world, but they still raise a fire in this dark corner and greet each other.
"I have heard that Yangcheng was once larger than the capitals of Zhou and Qi, and its population was several times larger." Yu Wenxuan looked at Bai Feng excitedly: "I can't imagine how grand it would be.
scene!"
Bai Feng sat opposite him, with a bonfire between them. The brilliance of the flames seemed to bring him back to the carefree past. At that time, the imperial city was truly an imperial city, and people from all over the world came to worship.
There will be no confusion or fear on everyone's face.
"I have seen it, but I can't remember it anymore." Bai Feng said coldly: "Reminiscing about the past will not bring us any benefits. Brother Yuwen, don't think about who you want to be, or recreate a prosperous age like someone else.
, only you know how to take the path you want to take.”
——People desperately want to forget this place, not because it was so charming, but because there is too much sadness buried here.
The rain stopped, and under the brewing morning light, even the dewdrops overflowed with a hint of warmth. It dripped on the tired travelers, and disappeared together with the depression of last night.
