"I like the sweet-scented osmanthus cake you made, and the lotus heart porridge you made." Listening to these very familiar words, Nangong Yun naturally thought that she had once said that she liked to watch Qin Feng make alchemy and watch Qin Feng practice.
Sword. At a certain moment when Qin Feng was unconscious in the bamboo forest, she told Qin Feng that she also liked Qin Feng's people when she was sure that Qin Feng could not hear.
But when Qin Feng said he liked it, did he simply like the osmanthus cake, or did he also like her? Nangongyun didn't know the answer, but she felt a little happy for no reason. Because regardless of whether Qin Feng liked the osmanthus cake she made.
, I still like the lotus heart porridge she made, but it is still a kind of liking after all.
But, is it enough to just like her? Although she was happy, Nangong Yun was still a little dissatisfied.
When will Keren be satisfied? Three and a half years ago, she thought she was satisfied after she said those words to Qin Feng outside the bamboo forest. But in fact, she was not satisfied because Qin Feng was in a coma.
She called out her name once, so on a certain afternoon on a certain day, she gave Qin
A kiss from the wind. At that moment, she felt that she should be content. But in fact, she was still not content. She accompanied Qin Feng every day. She thought that she had never crossed the line, but she didn't know whether to admit it or not, and she kept wandering on that line.
I have been trapped in a puzzling and unknowable situation...
"Okay." Nangong Yun, who had been silent for a long time, finally nodded and agreed to Qin Feng's invitation. Even if there was a figure in her heart that kept stopping her from doing this, even if she couldn't help but think of a figure in her mind while nodding.
The woman in black fur, and thought of the sisterhood she once had with that woman... But in the end she still couldn't resist a certain temptation deep in her heart, and because of the existence of that temptation, in an instant,
During this time she found many reasons for herself.
She told herself that she just wanted to take care of Qin Feng, and she told herself that her relationship with Qin Feng could actually be that of sister and brother, so even if she stayed with Qin Feng, she would not touch that line. However,
Nangong Yun actually knew very well that those were just excuses. She had only one real reason... She wanted to stay with Qin Feng, and even, she wanted to replace the person in Qin Feng's heart...
Perhaps, people are always unable to be satisfied and are always greedy, right?
Seeing Nangong Yun nodding, Qin Feng thought about everything he had with Nangong Yun in his previous life. He thought about how he and the girl set out from Daqian after being in trouble, went over mountains and ridges to kill hungry wolves, grilled wolf meat, and lived together through wind and rain. It seemed a little painful.
, it was a day that was very unforgettable in retrospect. Thinking that now he would embark on the same journey with the girl as he did in his previous life, he felt a little excited in his heart.
"Okay, let's set off today!" Qin Feng said, holding Nangong Yun's hand.
When they said they were going, they were going. Qin Feng and Nangong Yun immediately went down to Qilong Peak, and then went to Fengyun Tower to say goodbye to everyone in the Dan Alliance. They took almost nothing with them and left Wolong Mountain with only Nangong Yun.
On this day, the boy's smile was bright when he came down the mountain. He seemed extremely happy, and even his steps became a little brisk. Nangong Yun was also very happy on this day, but behind the happiness, there was a touch of uneasiness...or rather
Guilt?
Not far from the foot of Wolong Mountain is the Royal City of Daqian. The first stop Qin Feng wants to go to is naturally the Royal City, and the reason why he goes to the Royal City again is not to say goodbye to the people in the palace, but to take advantage of the opportunity. A good horse.
Although most powerful practitioners use martial arts to travel quickly, and even flying martial arts that can travel quickly for a long time, the young dragon raised in Qin Feng's own body can also carry him and Nangong Yun, and the flying speed is Definitely faster than most martial spirits...
But in Qin Feng's view, the image of flying on a dragon's head is a bit too pretentious, and there has always been a belief in dragons as totems in Daqian. Therefore, this approach is too eye-catching. What's more, if they are traveling with a girl as their companion, if they just want to fly quickly, they will inevitably miss a lot of scenery along the way, and they will also miss the mountains and rivers they have climbed. This will undoubtedly be more than worth the gain.
After going to the Royal City, they went to the exclusive horse and carriage shop within the Dan League to pick up a Thousand Miles Snow Horse. Then they passed by Lingxiao College and walked around the college before Qin Feng and Nangong Yun set off on their way.
Nangong Yun came from a good background. In the past, she only rode in carriages and never rode horses, so she had to share a horse with Qin Feng. In this way, Qin Feng said goodbye to Nangong Yun and had already resigned from the position of dean, but still Xia Xingyuan, who did not fully explain the trivial matters of his position, and Nangong Yun said goodbye to Xia Qianjie, whom they had known each other for many times. Then, the two left Daqian's royal city and left Lingxiao Academy...
Outside the college gate, Xia Xingyuan looked at the two people leaving Juechen, and couldn't help but feel envious. After a long time, he sighed leisurely and said, "You can leave as soon as you say you want, and you can leave as soon as you say you want. It's really enviable."
Xia Qianjie thought about the confrontation she had with a certain hateful guy for the first time, thinking about Nangong Yun's support for that guy, thinking about the past that happened at Lingxiao Academy, and thinking about how there were fewer and fewer people in the academy. An acquaintance couldn't help but sigh and said: "Li Ying went to the military headquarters for internship last year, and two more left today. In a few days, you will also leave..."
"Where is the number of days? I think it will take at least two months." Xia Xingyuan sighed helplessly. Xia Qianjie felt that the day of departure was very close, but Xia Xingyuan felt that it was still far away...
Speaking of which, it has been three years since he resigned as dean, and he still hasn't finished handing over everything. There are too many trivial matters in the college, many connections between the college and the palace, and the relationship between the college and the military. Struggles with the ministry, and even many arrangements between the college and local colleges...
"Well, if I hadn't decided to let go completely, I wouldn't have known that I was in charge of so many things." Xia Xingyuan sighed quietly.
When he said he didn't know, of course he didn't really mean he didn't know. It was just that he had been doing those things in those years, big and small, and they had almost become his entire life. Because his life was completely occupied by those things, he He has almost forgotten everything except state affairs. In fact, for decades, he has never married a wife, let alone any children.
"Actually, I've always been confused. You've done so much, why would you suddenly give up everything? Does it really feel good to give up those things?" Xia Qianjie asked in confusion.
"To be honest, this feeling can't be said to be too good." Xia Xingyuan casually took out the wine gourd on his body, raised his head and took a sip of wine and said: "I feel a little empty in my heart, as if too many important things in my life have been taken away. , after all, those are the things I have been doing for more than ten years."
Xia Qianjie remained silent and just listened to Xia Xingyuan continue talking.
Xia Xingyuan squinted his eyes, looked at the silhouette of a figure in the distance and said: "However, people can't live their whole life for those serious things, and they always have to have their own pursuits. Think about the rebellion caused by the anti-king faction, and the surrounding people. Several countries are watching with eager eyes, so I naturally have no worries about other things, but now the anti-king faction no longer exists, the country is peaceful and the people are safe, and the world is at peace."
Speaking of this, the smile in Xia Xingyuan's eyes grew stronger: "Of course, speaking of it, I also want to thank the reform. After the reform, the great cadres respected freedom more and no longer demanded people like me. They must stay in their original position. Position. So if I don’t get out of this position at this time, I’m afraid I won’t have the chance to do my own thing in my life.”
His own business, so what exactly is his own business? Xia Qianjie has always been curious about what Xia Xingyuan desires in his heart, and what kind of desire it is that can make him give up the life he is accustomed to and let him give up staying in Daqian?
"Is it possible that, uncle, you are very old and want to ride on the world of mortals and find some love again?" Xia Qianjie said jokingly.
"That's nonsense." It was a very ordinary joke. He didn't want to be carefree and unrestrained all day long. When he met Xia Xingyuan, who was serious and responsible, his old face turned red for no reason: "I am only in my fifties, very young. ?After all, I am also a True Martial Realm warrior. It is very easy to live for hundreds of years. If I enter Nirvana in the future, I will have a thousand years of life. How can I be called old at fifty?"
"Not old." Xia Qianjie looked at Xia Xingyuan seriously and said, "But he already has gray hair."
Xia Xingyuan worked and worried all day long. Even though Xia Xingyuan had a profound cultivation level, he still had a few strands of white hair due to overwork. Of course, Xia Xingyuan himself knew this very well, and said angrily: "What about you? Why don't you take advantage of your good looks to find the love you are talking about? According to the laws of Daqian, you can get married at the age of sixteen, and you are not young. Speaking of which, the young man from the old Xiao family in Zhaixingyuan seems to be good."
The young master of the old Xiao family may be really good. But when Xia Qianjie tried to think about this matter, another figure appeared in her mind for no reason. That figure was a bit hateful, but with the changes of time But it has become no longer so hateful, and even somewhat irreplaceable, far beyond the comparison of the young master of the old Xiao family.
Thinking of the rain of blood that once spread in Yishui City, and looking at the rain of petals falling from the pear trees, Xia Qianjie slowly shook her head and said: "Actually, I have always felt that the so-called love is an abyss. People who fall in love, It’s easy to stop being yourself.”
Xia Xingyuan raised his sword eyebrows slightly, as if he noticed Xia Qianjie's hidden hint. Thinking of the strange look on Nangong Yun's expression when she left, he couldn't help but ask: "Is it possible that you are talking about Nangong Yun?"
"Sister Nangong has actually always been a very self-controlled person..." Xia Qianjie shook her head and said, "I don't want to make any unreasonable comments about her choice, but I just want to say that those who stand in front of the abyss and often stare into the abyss will always be disappointed. It is easy to fall into the abyss, no matter whether you are a man or a woman, whether you are a heroic king, a wealthy lady, or other ordinary people."
Xia Xingyuan nodded slightly, was silent for a long time and said: "Maybe you are right. But in the world, is there anything that is not an abyss? Fame and wealth can be an abyss, power can be an abyss, practice can also be an abyss, maybe it is those otherworldly saints, He will also have his own obsessions and his own abyss."
"But, so what? After all, people have to make some choices of their own and pursue some of the things they want. Life is like a theme, and there are all kinds of idiots. Even if you know that you have walked out of one abyss and entered another, as long as you I am willing to do it, and as long as I have no regrets, then why should I care about other things?" Xia Xingyuan said as he unconsciously slowly rubbed his fingers on a jade flute.
Yes, he has stepped out of one abyss of fame and wealth, and is preparing to step into another abyss. To be more precise, he is leaving Daqian, leaving the Northwest Territories and going to the extremely distant Tianyin Pavilion to retrieve a story from seventeen years ago. Emotions. Retrieve the guzheng qin from seventeen years ago, and find the woman who played the zither...
He is Xia Xingyuan, the flute player on the tower of Yumenguan, and even more so the flute player on the bank of Qiu Lake. He is an unforgettable bosom friend, and a flute player who must look for his bosom friend.
