Ruyi Jue

He returned to his room, put a sword and a flute beside the couch, lay down, tossed and turned on the bed for a while, but still found it difficult to fall asleep.When he thinks of Yun Lian, he can't calm down. Of course, there is no doubt that Yun Lian is kind to him, but sometimes even he himself has the illusion-what is the reason for this kindness?

Is it pure brotherhood?Or does it have other meanings?

Just now when the other party asked him if he wanted him to marry Liu Hanyan, did he really care about his thoughts?

Could Yun Lian's affection for him and his affection for Yun Lian be the same thing?

The two have known each other for many years, and they have always talked about everything, but there are some things in their hearts that as friends, they cannot be said. If they say it, they will either achieve their long-cherished wish for many years, or part ways since then, and even friends will not be able to become friends.

Shen Yufeng didn't dare to take this step unless he was sure that the other party had the same thoughts as him.

For the first time in his life, he cared so much about a person, so that he, who has always been free and easy, was worried about gains and losses in such trivial matters. He despised himself for being so indecisive, and couldn't help but carefully ponder the motives of the other's words and deeds.After thinking about it on the bed for a long time, my mind was still like a myriad of fogs, overlapping and shadowy, still unable to decipher, so I decided not to hesitate anymore, and went to Yun Lian for questioning at dawn.

But unexpectedly, when he woke up the next day, he heard that Yun Lian had left with Liu Hanyan and the group of official guards.

Shen Yufeng stood in front of the door in a daze for a long time before accepting this fact.

It turned out that Yun Lian was indeed as he said, from the beginning to the end, he only came here for the Illusory Sea and Cloud Map. Now that he got the things, he immediately threw away everything in Zizai City and went back to Chang'an to fulfill his fate.

I thought so much about him last night, and it seemed a bit redundant.

But if that was the case, then what was Yun Lian's purpose in preventing him from saving Zhao Linhuai that day?

This time we saw each other again in Zizai City, and there were many more mysteries about the other party than last time. Red silk, besides, everyone's faces were beaming, and they were busy with the affairs at hand.

This group of people is actually shopping for the items needed for the wedding.

Shen Yufeng put aside his distracting thoughts, walked a few steps closer, and saw the triangular-eyed Guanshi Zhang talking with other people, and the word "marriage" in the words caught his attention.

He was startled, grabbed a passing servant, and asked, "Marriage? Who?"

The man was taken aback by his sudden grabbing of his sleeve, but he still replied seriously: "It's the city lord and Miss Hong Lian."

Shen Yufeng was shocked again.

Is Hong Lian going to marry Shi Fengting?

Why so suddenly?

But after thinking about it carefully, it seems logical, the young and handsome man and the charming woman are a perfect match.What's more, judging from the many meetings before, it can be seen that Shi Fengting loves Hong Lian very much, and Hong Lian seems to have a good impression of Shi Fengting.

Although the marriage came suddenly, it was considered a good marriage anyway.He turned around with big strides and walked towards another courtyard. He wanted to find Zhao Linhuai and Hong Lian and congratulate his brother and sister. He didn't expect to go to their courtyard, but he got a reply from his servant, saying that their brother and sister were very busy early in the morning. Just like Shi Fengting went out of the city to organize wedding supplies, and he hasn't come back yet.

Shen Yufeng had no choice but to give up, and wandered around the city boredly. When it was dark, he went to the Zhao family's brother and sister's yard again. They didn't come back, so he went back to his own yard.

After meditating for a while, Gong Yeming called him over again.

This time, the two of them met each other through their uncle and nephew last time, and when they met again, they became much closer than before. Shen Yufeng came to Gong Yeming's room and just called "Uncle Master".

Gong Yeming hummed lightly, looked up and saw his expression, but couldn't help laughing: "Why are you so sad?"

Shen Yufeng regarded him as a trustworthy elder, and told him his doubts: "I just feel that there are some things that I can't figure out, I can't figure it out."

"My nephew has just entered the rivers and lakes, and his experience is very inexperienced. When encountering some annoying and trivial matters, he will inevitably frown. This is a common problem among young people. However, my nephew," Gong Yeming said, "in life, there are big worries and small worries. , know how to unravel at the right time, so as not to sink deeper and deeper."

Shen Yufeng's expression froze, noticing that he intended to point out, he bowed and said, "Master, please enlighten me."

"Martial nephew, your kung fu is far superior to that of ordinary Jianghu people, and your knowledge of martial arts is even far superior to mine, but why can't you defeat me after several fights?"

Shen Yufeng himself had thought about this matter several times, but he always regarded it as the result of Gong Yeming's old experience and his lack of knowledge.Listening to Gong Yeming's question, it seems that there are other deep-seated reasons.

Gongye stared at him firmly, and asked, "Have you ever lost once in the past 20 years?"

Shen Yufeng shook his head. He was born with excellent martial arts. When he was 15 years old, he had already defeated countless peers. When he was 20 years old, even his father Shen Xingzhou was no longer his opponent. Later, he even learned bipolar without anyone teaching him. Mystery of merit, after calculation, there has indeed been no unsatisfactory time in the past 20 years.

Gong Yeming sighed: "You are young and vigorous, and you are aggressive. This is the biggest obstacle in your journey of learning martial arts."

Shen Yufeng was completely puzzled, thinking that he practiced the way of benevolence and righteousness since he was a child, and practiced diligently under the teaching of his father's words and deeds. When the elders in and out of the village saw him, they all praised him for being calm and introverted, with the style of the head of the family , When can we call the term "vigorous"?

Gong Yeming saw his confusion, and said with a smile: "Actually, the principles of learning martial arts and being a human being are the same. Nephew, you comprehended Ruyi Bipolar Kung Fu at a young age. In terms of life circumstances, you are still too young. As the saying goes: "A man is frustrated for a long time, and the sword is also dusty." You have lived too smoothly in this life, and you have never had a single defeat, so you don't know the value of the word failure. It is difficult to express and resolve, so that when you encounter troubles suddenly, you will worry about gains and losses, and be indecisive."

Shen Yufeng was shocked, as if awake.

Gong Yeming said again: "You are open-minded and upright, you should have great achievements in the future, but you will only ruin your achievements because of your love for your children."

"Uncle Master, what do you think I should do?" Shen Yufeng pondered slightly and asked his opinion.

Gong Yeming didn't give the answer as he expected, but just shook his head and said, "You can decide these things yourself, you will walk your own way of life, and as someone who has experienced it, I can only mention a little bit."

After he finished speaking, he got up and walked to the table behind him.Only then did Shen Yufeng realize that there was a half-packed bag on the table, and he was surprised, and asked, "Master is leaving?"

Gong Yeming nodded: "The city lord is dead, and that ruthless successor will definitely not let me go in order to stabilize his power. Before dawn, I will leave Zizai City. I called you here to say goodbye to you."

Shen Yufeng asked, "Where is Master going?"

He has grown up so much, and he has never been with such a transparent and wise elder. He only feels that he has benefited a lot from his guidance, and he is a little bit reluctant for a while.

Gong Yeming smiled lightly: "Wandering around the world, the whole world is home, go wherever you can."

Seeing this, Shen Yufeng also smiled: "Master, why don't you go find your mother?"

"Looking for Junior Sister?" Gong Yeming was startled, then shook his head violently, "It's all right, there's no need to make her feel uncomfortable."

Shen Yufeng couldn't help laughing secretly.He was determined to resolve the conflict between the two so that his mother would not stick to the ancient Buddha of Qingdeng, so he deliberately said: "Master, is it true that you don't want to see your mother? I went to Duanzhou a few months ago, and my mother talked about it." It seems that I miss my uncle very much."

Unexpectedly, after Gong Yeming heard this, he shook his head and smiled and said, "Nephew, nephew, you don't have to comfort me in this way, don't I know your mother well? She will forgive Shen Xingzhou one day, but she will never forgive me." There will never be a day when Chen Jirong is forgiven."

Shen Yufeng couldn't help but give up embarrassingly, "In that case, I wish my uncle a smooth journey."

Gong Yeming nodded with a smile, and went straight to collect his luggage. When he finished packing, he walked to the door and stopped suddenly.

"By the way, you told me that day that your father died two years ago."

Shen Yufeng nodded: "Yes."

"How did your father die?" Gong Yeming turned around and asked him seriously.

Shen Yufeng replied earnestly: "I don't know about this either. At that time I was traveling and was not in the villa. When I came back, I heard that my father had a sudden illness and passed away within three days."

After hearing this, Gong Yeming's expression became more serious: "Did you see your father for the last time?"

"No." Shen Yufeng shook his head, "According to the uncles in the villa, because it was a hot summer day and my father passed away suddenly, in order to prevent the body from rotting, the uncles made a decision and buried the body that day , When I rushed back to the villa, my father had already died, and I couldn't see him for the last time."

"Well," Gong Yeming thought for a while, and said, "I'll drop by to find out the cause of your father's death."

Shen Yufeng asked in surprise: "Master, do you think there is something strange about my father's death?"

Gong Yeming just shook his head: "I don't dare to confirm it, but at least I have known each other for a while. After thinking about it for the past two days, I always feel that according to your father's ability, he is definitely not someone who is so easy to say and die."

Seeing Shen Yufeng's restless appearance after listening, he smiled and said: "Forget it, I'm just guessing randomly, maybe it's because I think too much, don't worry, no matter what the results come out, I will tell you as soon as possible. you."

Shen Yufeng had no choice but to withdraw his ups and downs and sent him straight to the city gate.

***

Shen Yufeng had just returned to his room, and within a few hours of sleep, the sky was bright, and there was a knock on the door, saying that Zhao Linhuai had returned, and asked to see him by name.

He responded: "I know, I'll be there in a while."

Then he put on his outer robe, washed up, carried his belongings, and followed the instruction of the servant, and came to the gate of Zizai City—the reason was that Zhao Linhuai had specially told him to meet him here, and told him to bring all his belongings with him. superior.

At first he was puzzled, so he asked the servant, but the servant was vague and did not explain the reason clearly.He had no choice but to stop the embarrassment and bring a sword and a flute with him to see Zhao Linhuai.

He walked up to the city gate step by step, and saw a tall figure standing with his back facing each other on the top of the city tower. The strong wind blew through the upstairs, causing his beard and half-tipped long hair to fly wildly in the wind.

Shen Yufeng called out: "Brother Zhao."

Zhao Linhuai turned around and said with a smile: "Brother Shen, come up."

Informed by Hong Lian, he already knew that the word "Li Han" used by Shen Yufeng was a pseudonym, so he naturally accepted this fact.Shen Yufeng smiled, stepped up the steps of the tower, and stood shoulder to shoulder with him.

Looking out from the top of the city tower, you can see green mountains and rivers everywhere, stretching from the bottom of your eyes to the horizon, boundless. If you are not in it, it is hard to imagine that there is such a thing hidden in the deep forest that covers the sky and the sun. Such a huge city.

While admiring the scenery outside the city, Shen Yufeng waited for Zhao Linhuai to speak. However, Zhao Linhuai called him over, but he didn't speak for a long time. He just watched the scenery outside the city silently, with his brows furrowed, as if he had something on his mind.

Shen Yufeng spoke first: "I heard that Hong Lian is getting married?"

Zhao Linhuai finally came back to his senses after being called out like this, and looked back at him deeply, saying: "Brother Shen, thank you so much for this time."

Shen Yufeng smiled and said, "You're welcome, I'm just doing what I'm supposed to do."

Zhao Linhuai said: "Originally, I wanted to wait for the dust to settle in the Central Plains, and then have a happy chat with you, but unfortunately, there is no chance now."

Shen Yufeng frowned: "What do you mean?"

Why did you say that suddenly?

Zhao Linhuai sighed, "Brother, for the sake of Hong Lianhao, you'd better leave early."

Shen Yufeng didn't know why, afraid that he might have misunderstood something, he hurriedly explained: "Brother Zhao, Hong Lian and I are just ordinary friends."

Zhao Linhuai shook his head: "If you don't leave, Hong Lian will only be distracted, and she will always have extravagant hopes and won't marry in peace."

"This--"

Shen Yufeng remained silent, yes, although he didn't make it clear, Hong Lian did have a certain fondness for him, if he followed the previous way of getting along, it was hard to guarantee that the relationship between the two would not be mutated.

He can guarantee that he will not be tempted by Hong Lian, but he can't control Hong Lian's mind.

However, he didn't expect that Zhao Linhuai would force himself to leave for the sake of his sister's happiness.I treat each other sincerely, thinking that I have made a pair of confidantes and friends, but in the eyes of others, they are just ordinary outsiders from beginning to end.

What does it matter what he feels, what he thinks?

He lowered his eyes and said, "I understand, I'll leave tomorrow."

His tone was very natural, but he couldn't hide the slight loss in his heart.

Zhao Linhuai shook his head and said, "No, you can leave now."

"What does that mean?"

Shen Yufeng was even more surprised, why did he drive him away in such a hurry?

Zhao Linhuai's voice was somewhat hesitant: "This...Actually... Hong Lian is going to get married in three days... You, the sooner you leave, the better."

Shen Yufeng understood the meaning of his words, and suddenly felt self-deprecating. He never expected that he would treat him like this with sincerity like a close friend. It would be a lie to say that he was not uncomfortable, but now that people have made it clear that he is not welcome, no matter how cheeky he is to stay, it will only increase the jokes. Suddenly, an inexplicable feeling came to his heart, thinking of what Gong Yeming said to him last night, I thought to myself: "Since you don't want me as a friend, why should I stay? Where is there no confidant in the world, and where is there no friend? Leave as soon as you leave, a man should be happy in the world, open and frank, what to do? His appearance is a joke!"

Thinking of this, there was no sadness or joy in my heart, and I said loudly: "Okay, Brother Zhao, take care."

Without looking back, he went down the tower with a sword and a flute.
