not immortal

The process for Shen Changfeng to leave the capital was a breeze, but it took half a year for the capital to recover after this incident.

Pull out the radish and bring out the mud. After Shen Taifu, the grand and mighty ransacking of homes and imprisonment affected more than a dozen families. Everyone, big and small, was in danger. It was not until the summer solstice that the prince was deposed because of his lack of virtue, which finally came to an end.

It was also from this that everyone knew that Gao Sikong was extremely favored by saints, and the prince he supported was probably the candidate to become a great treasure.

At this time, Shen Changfeng had already entered the Xunfeng Sword Pavilion with Ye Yu, and officially embarked on the road of becoming a generation of heroes. At first, Jiang Xu wanted to follow him all the time, but later he couldn't sit still, so he let Yan Sui left a curse of traveling a thousand miles on Shen Changfeng's body, and with his water mirror in his pocket, he bounced around and traveled.

Five or six years passed in a flash, the apricots fell and the snow melted, and Shen Changfeng always stayed with Ye Yu inseparably at first, until suddenly one day, when Jiang Xu took out the mirror, he finally found the sober love in his eyes that was hard to conceal.

When he was 20 years old, he finally understood why he was angry when he learned that Shen Yan was going to marry Ye Yu.

Shen Changfeng in the water mirror smiled bitterly, and whispered to himself: "If I knew today, I would only agree with this marriage."

Ever since he understood his intentions, he has become very clear that Ye Yu is not on the same side as him, but he took the initiative to keep a distance from Ye Yu, and only be a qualified "confidant and friend".

Jiang Xu sighed softly, feeling a little bit lost, so he put away the water mirror and didn't look at it any more.

These things should not have been known by others.

The days continued so unsaltedly, day after day, so long that Jiang Xu almost thought that he was in the present world, thanks to being with Yan Sui, otherwise something would go wrong, and Shen Changfeng also Gradually, he rose from fame to minor fame, and became a rookie praised by everyone in Yunzhou.

As for Ye Yu at this time, he has already become a hot rookie in the martial arts league. Coupled with the accumulation of the Ye family in Jingshui County for a hundred years, even the people of the previous generation have predicted that within ten years, he will become The youngest martial arts alliance dream master in history.

It seems that everything is developing in a good place, Jiang Xu thought, if Yan Sui and Miaoyin hadn't said that there was no trace of the nightmare ghost's attack so far, he would have wondered whether the situation in the past few years was inconsistent with reality.

"I just don't know when I will find the way to break the dream," he sighed when Yan Sui left temporarily, "I always feel embarrassed to face the face of my senior brother."

Especially when getting closer to Yan Sui, there is always a strange sense of guilt and guilt.

He quickly stopped this mess of thoughts, and slowly walked out from the corner. The market was noisy, and his gaze fell precisely on the bright red and attractive candied haws.

"Just one string," Yan Sui smiled subtly, the profile of his profile blurred in the soft light, "please give me the top string, old man."

Living beings are in various states, basic necessities of life, food, housing and transportation, every drink and peck is practice.

Jiang Xu's heart was filled with joy and satisfaction, and he couldn't help running towards Yan Sui.

"Brother!"

It's just that no one knows that there was a Grand Tutor Shen in the capital city back then, and there was a master of heaven, but it's a pity that it was the Shen Yan of his daughter, and the red dust billowed endlessly, covering up all traces.

……

But at this moment, a letter from Shangjing was sent to the Xunfeng Sword Pavilion overnight by the carrier pigeon, and when Shen Changfeng came back from his experience, Ye Yu silently handed it over.

Under his sad and pity eyes, Shen Changfeng couldn't help but his heart skipped a beat. He squeezed the letter tightly, and smiled a little forcedly: "What happened to Ayu?"

Ye Yu turned her head away, and sighed deeply, as if she couldn't bear it to the extreme: "This letter is from Uncle Chang Fu. When I took you away from Shangjing, he found a chance to return to your elder sister. I didn't even know about it." This thing."

The uneasiness in Shen Changfeng's heart was even worse, but he was no longer the young master who could only cry when things went wrong, and he could still maintain his demeanor at this moment, opening the envelope bit by bit.

——Shen Yan died.

There were only a few words in the letter, and Chang Fu's words were extremely euphemistic, he only said that Shen Yan was buried by Gao Sikong as a concubine, and that he had secretly opened the coffin to look at it.

Further back, there is a trace that has obviously been soaked.

The hand holding the letter paper was so hard that the veins bulged and the joints turned white. Shen Changfeng's eyes were red with hatred, and even his teeth were chattering.

"How dare he...how dare!"

The letter was slammed on the table, and Ye Yu picked it up silently, only to see that Chang Fu only wrote three short sentences at the end: his whole body was covered with bruises and welts, his clothes were not enough to cover his body, and his eyes were not closed.

"Ah Yan, this may not be the worst," Ye Yu said solemnly, "When I received the letter, I asked my servants to look for Uncle Shen, but—"

He put his arms around Shen Changfeng's shoulders and gave him a hug: "Your grandfather was taken into the palace, his life and death are unknown, and it is absolutely impossible for Changfu alone to deliver this letter to us. You came."

Jiang Xu stared at Shui Jing, and couldn't help but said: "All six relatives are dead, and he suffers more than ordinary people. If he is in Zhongzhou, he is quite suitable to worship Wuqing Sect."

"His root of affection is hard to break," Yan Suiwen told him in a gentle voice, "only this one, it can't be repaired."

These words are indeed reasonable, Jiang Xu thought, and inevitably raised his head to see Yan Sui's expression, after all he still remembered that Yan Sui practiced the way of ruthlessness.

But how could Yan Sui not know what he was thinking, and said without changing his face: "I am also inseparable from love, so naturally I have to change my career and rebuild to get to a higher level."

Jiang Xu just murmured vaguely, feeling slightly disappointed.

Who would want to hear this, he slandered and looked away, but immediately after, Yan Sui held his face, his eyes slightly hurt: "I thought Xu Xu understood, my feelings are all tied to you alone body."

"Hypocritical," Miao Yin sat on the roof and rolled her eyes, disdainful, "It's almost done, now is not the time to talk about love."

Jiang Xu leaned back in embarrassment, managed to calm down the heat on his face, and then heard a faint voice and said strangely: "I thought that all the good-looking people would be taken away by the Wuji Sect, but I didn't expect there to be a wanderer." Mortals in Yunzhou, what a pity, what a pity."

"Senior's words are wrong," Yan Sui chuckled, "The Wuji Sect can't pretend to be a person like Ye Yu who cares about the world."

I don't know what charades these two were playing, Jiang Xu blinked blankly, and before he could ask, Yan Sui rubbed his head: "Don't think too much, Xu Xu just keep looking down. "

……

Shen Changfeng and Ye Yu went back to Beijing together, riding fast all the way. As soon as they arrived at the city gate, they were surrounded by a group of soldiers. He quietly observed the situation in front of him, and couldn't help frowning, remembering what Ye Yu said on the way:

"Gao Sikong has become more daring and reckless over the years, and the most favored youngest son is also acting perversely, which must arouse the fear of the saints. Ah Yan, the art of emperors lies in checks and balances. Back then, Uncle Shen was deposed because of the crown prince. Suppress Gao Sikong, why can't it be used again?"

Shen Changfeng pondered for a moment, and said: "Grandpa is old and can't be a saint's blade, and sister just died in the hands of Gao Sikong. The saint will definitely think of me, the son of the Shen family who lives outside."

"That's right," Ye Yu said, "Ah Yan, you will have no freedom after this trip back to Beijing."

He didn't have any idea of ​​persuasion, Shen Changfeng looked at him silently, only seeing pure to extreme worry.

They all knew that it was impossible to turn back on this trip.

"It's okay," Shen Changfeng looked at the gray sky in the distance again, and said softly, "Ayu, I value affection the most, as you know."

Ye Yu's expression was a bit complicated for a moment, he struggled for a while, and said: "Ah Yan is very smart."

Shen Changfeng curled his lips without emotion: "Do you need me to do something for you?"

He is not an uninitiated person, every move of Ye Yu's chess is timely and skillful, which makes people wonder whether he has made plans in advance, besides, the Ye family has been rooted in Shangjing for so many years, so they naturally have the ability to know a lot Secret.

But it doesn't matter, anyway, he only has one Ye Yu, and he has been a friend for more than ten years, so there is nothing he can't do.

Ye Yu took a deep breath and said cautiously: "A Yan also knows that my Ye family in Jingshui County is one of the founders of the Wulin League, so I also know many things that others don't know. For example, the Wulin League was first established. The original intention was to resist the imperial court's control over the rivers and lakes."

"The art of an emperor lies in checks and balances," Shen Changfeng repeated the words in a low voice, "So, what method did the later imperial court come up with?"

Ye Yu only let him come over by ear, and spit out a word: "Dark Sun Palace."

Shen Changfeng couldn't help laughing, he shook his head, and asked back; "Ayu hopes that I can join the Dark Sun Palace and be your internal response?"

Ye Yu answered him readily: "Yes, I need Ah Yan to be my eyes. Now that the world is chaotic and restrained by the court, the Dark Sun Palace is the best way for a saint to eliminate dissidents. No peace."

Shen Changfeng didn't hesitate at all, he just said hello, Ye Yu patted him on the shoulder proudly, and said, "I can only trust Ah Yan to do this."

"The people in the Dark Sun Palace have always killed people like hemp," Shen Changfeng said, and smiled inexplicably, "Ayu, it is impossible for me not to do anything wrong."

"It's okay," Ye Yu looked at him deeply, with great sincerity, "A Yan is the cleanest, if there are mistakes, God will only blame me."

How could Shen Changfeng not be touched at that time, young and frivolous, besides family hatred, he also had extraordinary ideals and ambitions, he couldn't help laughing happily, and galloped forward with a silver whip.

"Okay! Ayu, I will be your eyes and blade."

……

In the quiet courtyard in Shangjing, a huge water mirror floated above the table. Jiang Xu looked over the galloping horses and landed on the line of sergeants blocking people at the gate of the city.

"Hey," he grabbed Yan Sui's wrist in surprise, "Brother, look at the one standing at the end, but Mr. Gu?"

Yan Sui nodded slightly, and said: "It is indeed him. The aura of the person in the dream is different from that of the person in the dream. You have lost all your spiritual talent at this time, so you can't tell it."

Miaoyin stretched her waist lazily, looking very sleepy: "It turns out that the Dark Sun Palace belongs to the imperial court. Let me tell you, why did the Martial Arts League have to stick to them, which made last year's Changshan Hundreds of people died in the duel, and the resentment... tsk tsk, it won't go away after more than a hundred years."

"If you don't mind the trouble, senior, you can use your spiritual power to purify that place," Yan Sui said, putting on a thin shirt for Jiang Xu, "It's also a merit."

"It's so troublesome," Miaoyin murmured, "I don't want to be a god, and the little merit is just to get a good pregnancy in the next life."

Hearing this, Jiang Xu couldn't help but feel a little strange.

There are still cultivators who don't want to ascend?

But before he could ask anything, Miao Yin patted her sleeves and stood up.

"Let's go," he didn't look back, and he was sure that the two of them would follow, "It's time to meet Gu Chen, if nothing happens—"

He didn't go on, but Yan Sui had already added the following words for him:

"We can finally know the difference between this dream and this world."
