Although everyone at Zongsheng Hall dislikes Yu Zhiyuan very much, because of his junior uncle Zhao Ran, three generations of disciples still respect Yu Zhiyuan as an elder - at least in terms of etiquette, Yu Zhiyuan doesn't say a word like this.
Said, Feng Tang immediately felt the pressure.
"Uncle Yu, it's all the disciple's fault. You shouldn't have led people into the mountain without authorization. Luo Niang is a fellow Taoist whom the disciple met in Qingcheng Mountain. She doesn't quite understand the truth of the matter, and her words are not very pleasing to the ears, but she still has a good mind.
Yes, Master, don’t blame her. If you want to blame, just blame the disciple. I will apologize to Master.” After that, he bowed deeply and apologized.
Yu Zhiyuan turned around with dull eyes. He did not talk about Luo Niang, but asked: "When you came here this time... what did she say to you?"
Feng Tang sighed secretly and answered honestly: "Elder Lin didn't say anything."
Yu Zhiyuan was silent for a moment and then asked: "Then...does she know about me and my marriage?"
Feng Tang thought for a while and said: "The invitation letter from Chongde Hall was sent to the junior uncle. The junior junior uncle gave it to the senior brother, and the senior brother reported it to the teacher. The teacher mentioned it when the elders were discussing.
I was assigned to come here to congratulate you. My junior uncle couldn’t leave in Yingtian, so he specially prepared a generous gift for me to bring. He actually really wanted to come and watch the ceremony..."
He just narrated what happened, but Yu Zhiyuan understood it and murmured: "She knew... She must have known... She knew, but she didn't say a word...
....”
Feng Tang quickly comforted him: "Uncle Yu, Elder Lin doesn't want to disturb your life anymore. Don't take it too seriously, let alone get into trouble. In the past, when my nephew was suffering outside, he would always remind himself that he had been wronged.
When you are in trouble, you must cheer up and live better than those who have wronged you and made you feel sorry for yourself..."
Yu Zhiyuan seemed not to have heard his words, and still murmured: "She knew, but she didn't say a word, not even a blessing..." Two lines of clear tears silently flowed down her cheeks.
After repeating this sentence over and over again, Yu Zhiyuan turned around and walked along the mountain road.
Feng Tang couldn't help but sigh. He returned to his room and didn't even need to be quiet. He thought about all kinds of messy thoughts until dawn.
Senior Brother Yu came to Yunshuitang again and invited Feng Tang to visit the mountains. To be honest, after what happened last night, Feng Tang was not interested in traveling to the mountains anymore. However, Senior Brother Yu was very enthusiastic and Feng Tang could not resist his kindness, so he had to agree.
.
Senior Brother Yu asked him again if he wanted to invite Luo Niang to travel with him. Feng Tang's anger also subsided a lot. He secretly thought that maybe Luo Niang's private scolding of Yu Zhiyuan yesterday was a powerful medicine. So he knocked on Luo Niang's door.
, but no one answered, Fei Fu asked again, and Luo Niang replied: "I have left, I did nothing wrong in this matter!"
Feng Tang was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said: "She has gone down the mountain beforehand and will not travel today..."
Just as he was talking, Senior Brother Yu received the flying talisman across from him, and then his expression changed drastically, and he said to Feng Tang: "Junior Brother Feng, please come with me. My uncle has invited you."
Feng Tang asked: "What happened?"
Senior Brother Yu said: "Zhiyuan jumped off the cliff."
Feng Tang was stunned for a moment, his mind was full of confusion, and he subconsciously followed behind him to see Elder Yu.
The time when Yu Zhiyuan jumped off the cliff and died was before today's hour. Around three quarters of the hour, when Tong Baimei went to find him, he found that there was no one in the house, only a suicide note on the table. He rushed to the foot of Cuiqiao Ridge mentioned in the suicide note.
Only then did he discover the dead Yu Zhiyuan.
The suicide note stated that Cuiqiao Ridge was Yu Zhiyuan's favorite place to play when he was young. When he first met Lin Zhijiao, he described the scenery here to her. At that time, Lin Zhijiao had promised to accompany him to Cuiqiao Ridge after they got married.
Unfortunately, he failed to do so, so he chose to end his life here.
Tong Baimei held his body with tears all over her face. She could only see her beard trembling, but could not hear the cry. The monks from Chongde Hall took it several times before they took Yu Zhiyuan's body and wrapped it, but no one could
After being able to comfort the great refiner, I could only let him grieve at the foot of the cliff.
A good double cultivation ceremony turned into a funeral in a blink of an eye, which made everyone in Chongde Hall anxious. Elder Yu took the time to briefly tell Feng Tang what happened, then he confessed and continued to work.
When Feng Tang passed by Cihang Hall, he saw the cave master of Luoxin Cave. The cave master's face was ashen and he gave Feng Tang an extremely ugly smile.
Feng Tang's mind was in chaos, thinking about every scene and every conversation he had when Yu Zhiyuan came to find him last night. He didn't know how he returned to Yunshuitang, and locked himself in the room until evening.
He suddenly woke up and hurriedly sent a flying talisman to Zhao Ran to inform him of the matter. At the same time, he did not dare to hide it and attached the details of his conversation with Yu Zhiyuan last night.
Zhao Ran was also shocked when he received Feng Tang's reply. He stood in front of Jingyang Tower in confusion for a long time. It was not until Rong Niang came to him and held his hand that he came back to his senses.
"What's wrong with Zhiran?"
"Senior Brother Yu, Yu Zhiyuan, he is dead. He jumped off a cliff and committed suicide..."
"ah……"
"I shouldn't have asked people to send gifts...Senior Brother Yu went to see Feng Tang last night and asked Uncle Lin if he had any message for him. Feng Tang told the truth, no, so Senior Brother Yu just..." Zhao Ran regretted it for a moment.
Endless.
Rong Niang thought for a while and said: "The absence of people from the Zongsheng Hall also means that Uncle Lin has no intention of contacting him? So he will still die."
Zhao Ran hesitated and thought: "Perhaps I should have thought of it earlier and asked Uncle Lin to help me with a message..."
Rong Niang said: "Then what should Uncle Lin say? I'm sorry to say that you are getting married? Yu Zhiyuan will rush to the Zongsheng Hall immediately, and then he finds out that he was lied to, will he jump off the cliff? If Uncle Lin
If he says, "I wish you a happy marriage, what will he do? Will he jump off a cliff?"
Zhao Ran shook his head: "No matter what you say..."
Rong Niang said: "Whether Feng Tang goes to Chongde Hall or not, Yu Zhiyuan will die. No one can save this life. In fact, he has died long ago."
"Perhaps we shouldn't let Chongde Guan take him back to the mountain?"
"Then what should Uncle Lin do?"
Zhao Ran said helplessly: "Besides, all this is useless. Now that the person is dead, I will rush to Chongde Hall immediately to pay my respects to my senior brother."
Rong Niang said: "I know I can't stop you, so I'll go with you."
Zhao Ran said: "Can you ask Lu Yuanyuan to borrow his futon?"
Rong Niang said: "Don't borrow everything from other families, I still have it in Ge Zaoshan."
Early the next morning, Ge Zaoshan sent the flying magical weapon Lingbao Glazed Shuttle used by Duanmu Changzhen. Zhao Ran was not polite and rushed to Chongde Mansion with Rong Niang.
He is now a monk in the realm of alchemy, the abbot of Jiming Temple, the abbot of Wenchang Temple, and the de facto controller of the joint meeting. For his arrival, Chongde Hall attaches great importance to it, and almost all the elders in the elder hall come out to meet him.
, including Jing Yunyi, the great elder who had a feud, and Jing Yun'an, who had been defeated by Wei Zhizhen's Sun Moon Huang Hua Sword.
