Fengyunlu

Chapter 680 Clearing the clouds and revealing the sun

Because of this, Luo Hongchen gave Fengchen a mysterious jade talisman before he left. It contained a powerful trick that could ensure a smooth trip to Yaochi. But the price of using this jade talisman is not small, and compared to Master Gu Yuan's pursuit of responsibility, it is nothing. Therefore, it can only be used when there is really no other way, and it must not be used in front of Master Gu Yuan, otherwise once he takes it away, all efforts will be in vain.

Also, the person who uses this jade talisman must be Fengchen himself, and others cannot afford the price. This is also the reason why Luo Hongchen gave the jade talisman to Fengchen instead of Lei Gong. As for whether it will be used, it depends on the attitude of Master Gu Yuan.

Based on these, Fengchen has been holding back. Just now, Bai Lu mentioned the fortune of Yaochi, and he thought of the jade talisman again. Although he didn't know what powerful tricks were in it, Fengchen always felt that even if he didn't use the jade talisman in the end, he would try it after everything settled down. Because Luo Hongchen told him personally that once the jade talisman was activated, the cause and effect inside would stir up the entire Xuanmen, and then both the good and the evil would feel it. As the source, Fengchen would also suffer more troubles because of this, which is the so-called worldly people's hearts.

Thinking of this, Feng Chen nodded to Bai Lu, indicating that he understood: "Don't worry, cousin, I understand everything. Besides, I am still weak. Even if the worst happens, cousin can still take me away by force."

"I understand. But don't let me do it then." Bai Lu said, secretly glanced at Lei Gong, then turned to look in the direction of the ancient cave.

Lei Gong also turned his head at this moment, because there seemed to be some movement coming from that direction, and he could feel it even without looking specifically.

As for Fengchen, he also turned his head and looked in that direction at the same time. Some mysterious aura in his body seemed to be sensing something from afar...

It sounds a bit cold, but everyone can feel the dissatisfaction and resentment in Feng Chen's heart. After all, he is a descendant of the Feng family, born with spiritual energy, but unfortunately he has suffered the pain of broken meridians. When he was a child, he had tasted the bitterness of life, and the great disaster three years ago made him even more heartbroken.

Although he had survived all of this and had now entered the Xuanmen, he should have had some expectations, but his life seemed to always be arranged by others, and even discussed openly in front of him, as if they were thinking about him. In fact, this was just everyone's little calculation in their hearts, and they never really asked for his opinion.

In fact, apart from Master Gu Yuan, the people present, such as Lei Gong, Ji Yao and Fairy Bai Lu, are all Feng Chen's saviors, and this favor is not small. But no matter how great the favor is, it cannot determine a person's future at will. Feng Chen still has his own blood debt to bear, and he will have his own way to go in the future.

Master Gu Yuan's gaze was deep, as if he could see through everything and look directly into Feng Chen's heart. He just looked at him quietly without saying a word for a long time.

She remained silent, and everyone else kept silent too. Only Lei Gong's eyes lit up unconsciously, but he didn't say much. He was waiting, waiting for Feng Chen's next words, and also waiting for Master Gu Yuan's response.

After a while, the veil on Master Gu Yuan's face fluttered gently, as if with a hint of smile, and his eyes became softer: "The son follows the father, Feng Wanlin's son is indeed a little arrogant."

Feng Chen did not answer directly, but continued to ask: "If I don't plan to go to Yaochi, will the senior still insist on the three conditions proposed by Uncle Lei?"

"That's right." Master Gu Yuan nodded: "I have said it before, you are you, he is him, the two cannot be confused."

After hearing this, Fengchen's eyes became clear, without any resentment. He seemed to have let go of something, looked at Fairy Ji Yao again, and then walked forward and bowed: "Aunt Ji Yao, I'm saying goodbye now. I'll repay this kindness when I have the chance in the future."

Then, he said to Lei Gong: "Uncle Lei, I am reckless by nature, but I have my own way to go. I am grateful for your kindness. As for the favor, I am afraid I will never be able to repay it in this lifetime. In this case, if there is an opportunity in the future, as long as Uncle Lei has an order or the Thunderbolt Hall needs it, I will do my best and will never refuse. Now, I will take my leave."

After Feng Chen finished speaking, he saluted Lei Gong, nodded to Fairy Bai Lu, and then turned and left. His movements were crisp and clear without any hesitation. Even Master Gu Yuan, he didn't even look at him again, as if he didn't care about him at all.

This change surprised everyone. Even Fairy Ji Yao thought Feng Chen would seize the opportunity this time, but she didn't expect that this child had such a strong and arrogant character that he would rather give up the opportunity than owe any debt.

This kind of character is usually a good thing in spiritual practice, because the heart is like a rock and is not easily shaken by the outside world. However, when dealing with things, it may cause disadvantages because of unwillingness to adapt, and naturally miss many opportunities.

However, everything in the world is often like this, with gains and losses, and a balance between each other. Fengchen's choice is not necessarily a bad thing. Who can really see the future? Therefore, Fairy Ji Yao did not try to persuade him, but just sighed silently in her heart, feeling a little regretful.

Lei Gong truly understood Feng Chen's intention. He didn't want to be a burden to Lei Gong, even though Master Gu Yuan had made it clear that the three conditions would not change whether Feng Chen went to Yao Chi or not. However, there is always room for flexibility and reason. Feng Chen never accepted these conditions, so he didn't feel that he owed anything. Therefore, there was no human connection in the future. Even if Lei Gong wanted to repay the three conditions, Feng Chen was unwilling, and no one could force him, so Lei Gong would have more freedom.

After all, if the parties involved do not cooperate and have no obligation to cooperate, then things will be out of control. In the end, Lei Gong will at least not be bound by Feng Chen's affairs all the time. As for Lei Gong's own desire to protect Feng Chen, that is his personal wish, and this is somewhat different from the conditions proposed by Master Gu Yuan. He is only responsible for protecting Feng Chen's life and does not participate in other affairs.

Fengchen knew that although he was young, he had already stepped into the world of Xuanmen. He believed that the road ahead would definitely not be smooth, but how could he see the rainbow without going through the wind and rain? If there was no real experience between life and death, how could he have a great enlightenment? Cultivation is like this. No matter how much others say, it is still others'. Only by experiencing it yourself can you truly understand the mystery. As the ancients said: "The knowledge in books is always shallow. To really understand something, you have to do it yourself." Only by practice can you turn knowledge into your own wisdom and go further on the road of cultivation.

The master leads you to the door, and the practice is up to you. Although this principle is simple, not many people really understand it. Therefore, although there are many famous teachers, there are only a few truly outstanding disciples. In the final analysis, the waves behind are not pushed by the waves in front, but by going upstream. Just like the waves in the sea, only those waves that dare to go upstream can show the most spectacular scene. The same is true for the path of practice. Only those practitioners who dare to challenge themselves and are not afraid of difficulties and obstacles can stand out in the Xuanmen and become true masters.

It is easier said than done. Everyone understands this truth, but how many people can really do it? Many people hide their talents for fear that others will encounter setbacks. There are many geniuses, but only a few can stand at the top. The reason is simple, they have not experienced real hardships. Just like those seedlings that have not been through wind and rain, although they look vibrant, they can hardly withstand the test of nature. Only those trees that grow up in wind and rain can become towering trees.

Lei Gong looked at Fengchen's back, as if he saw his old friend. He was also such a young man back then. Although he was only a few years older than Fengchen, he was just as stubborn at the age of 18. He would rather endure hardships than be bound by any rules, and even more unwilling to be swayed by everything. It was this kind of character that made him the genius who shocked the world later. Just like a seed, only by struggling in the hard soil can it break through the ground and grow into a towering tree.

Feng Wanlin said goodbye to his elders at the age of eighteen. Sixty years have passed. The once arrogant boy has now stirred up the entire Xuanmen. Everyone in the righteous and evil ways knows him, and everyone from the high cultivators down knows him. He led an inconspicuous small Xuanhu of the Feng family and became the leader of the northern border. While guarding the desert, he also shocked the entire Xuanmen. If it weren't for Feng Wanlin's unwillingness, Fengshabao would have already become a great emperor sect, and how could it still be in the Jiuyao Xianmen when it was calculated by others. Just like a meteor streaking through the night sky, although it was short-lived, it left a dazzling light.

Thinking back to his old friend, Lei Gong thought of himself. He was also arrogant, and it took him four hundred years to achieve success. His current reputation only reached its peak in the last two hundred years. In the previous two hundred years, he had only an arrogant character and suffered a lot. Just like an uncarved jade, although the appearance is rough, the inner brilliance will eventually be discovered by the world.

Until he met Feng Wanlin, the two of them shared the same ideals and learned from each other. Lei Gong created his own unique skill, Snow Falling in the Sky, and the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Art was perfected. His Thunderbolt Hall was therefore powerful throughout the world, no longer just a middle-class Xuanmen, but standing at the top of the Jiuyao Immortal Sect. He himself also had the demeanor of a great emperor, but like his old friend, Lei Gong was unwilling to do so. Just like two stars shining against each other in the night sky, illuminating the way forward.

Thinking of this, Lei Gong couldn't help but think of his current situation. The people of the Thunderbolt Hall were eagerly waiting for his recovery, and countless creatures of the Thunder Mountain lineage were also looking forward to his return. The Spring and Autumn Emperor supported it alone, the conditions in Yaochi were so difficult, and Fengchen made such a choice. If his old friend Feng Wanlin faced such a situation, what would he do? Just like a general on the battlefield, facing a difficult choice, each decision is related to the fate of countless people.

Lei Gong pondered for a moment, and even when Feng Chen had stepped out of the door, he still hadn't come up with an answer. Because in Lei Gong's opinion, Feng Wanlin would not encounter such a situation. Even in the desperate situation three years ago, when the Nine Nether Emperor's true body went out to fight, his ancient name was also shattered by his true body, and he could only escape with the Tongtian Scroll. Just like a warrior facing a powerful enemy, even if he is surrounded, he is not afraid and moves forward bravely.

Think about it, Jiuyou was so powerful, not to mention the turmoil in Leiming Mountain at that time. Although Feng Wanlin died in the end, Lei Gong was confident that even the most powerful people in Xuanmen, or even Emperor Cangyun himself, could not do better than Feng Wanlin. After all, Jiuyou has existed since ancient times, and it is said that the five ancient emperors jointly sealed him. Although the long river of history is turbulent, as long as you have a little wisdom and courage, you can always find a way forward. They understand that every era has its own challenges and opportunities. Those smart people who can see through the pulse of the times and keep up with the trend of history can always find their own direction in the storm, and even in the darkest moment, they can find that ray of light.

Therefore, if Lei Gong were in Feng Wanlin's situation, he would definitely be invincible. Even if Mo Wenjian really took action, and the guys who came later with the demon king, they would not be able to snatch anything from Leiming Mountain from Feng Wanlin. Therefore, Lei Gong thought about it, but he couldn't figure out what Feng Wanlin would choose now. It's like a chess player on the chessboard, facing a complex situation, every move may change the whole game. They know that every choice may change the trajectory of fate. The truly smart people can always find the most appropriate move in a complex situation and control the overall situation.

However, Lei Gong and Feng Wanlin are friends for life and death, and they know each other's personalities well, so Lei Gong can more or less guess his friend's choice. Even in the current situation, if Feng Wanlin really faces such a choice, should he persuade Feng Chen to stay, or accept his decision calmly, or go with him without being restricted by Master Gu Yuan's conditions, or, after listening to Master Gu Yuan's insights on the impermanence of the great calamity, the infinite great way, and choose to restrain Feng Chen like him. Their friendship is as solid as a mountain. They understand each other's work style and inner world, and can support each other and face it together even in the most difficult times.

Finally, Lei Gong shook his head. These choices did not suit his old friend's style. With Feng Wanlin's personality, let alone whether there would be other ways, even if he went to Yaochi to heal his wounds, he would not care about Gu Yuan, nor would he push the problem to Ji Yao, nor would he pin his hopes on Feng Chen. In this way, the so-called conditions would not hold true. He would just rush in, or exchange conditions with Gu Yuan. Anyway, the conditions themselves would not make him obey orders. Feng Wanlin's style was like the free wind, free from any constraints, always solving problems in his own way, not relying on others, and not afraid of challenges.

As for the affairs of the world, in Feng Wanlin's opinion, there is no such thing as a great catastrophe or an unpredictable path. Everyone's destiny is chosen by themselves.
