C112 (1/2)
At this moment, they were extremely tired. Zi Feng and Fa Ming's expressions made people worry if they would be able to get through the night. As for the two little fellows, after resting for a moment, they couldn't help but feel a little better. They were no longer as haggard as before. Zi Feng and Fa Ming struggled to their feet and walked over to the nearby reeds.
Looking at the ducks flying into the distance, Lil 'White shook his head helplessly and said, ”You are truly a tiger that has entered the plains and been bullied by a dog. Even that little duckling dared to be so rampant in front of me, Grandpa Hu. He must have eaten his heart and guts. I wonder how many ducks were killed by you back then.”
As he spoke, he looked disdainfully at the wild duck that was slowly flying away. When the Netherworld heard Whitey's mutterings, he said unhappily, ”What are you trying to pull? If you have the ability, then catch it now.” After saying that, he looked at Whitey with a face full of disregard. After pausing for a moment, You You continued, ”If you used to eat snacks, I'm afraid you wouldn't be in such a sorry state today.”
As he spoke, his tone became somewhat stern. Hearing this, Lil 'White lowered his head in shame. Recalling the overwhelming attack from the old man in black yesterday, it felt as if the White Tiger War God's pride was hurt. It couldn't help but roar towards the sky to vent the displeasure in its heart. The Netherworld, who was standing beside them, ignored them and said, ”What are you roaring for? Be careful of attracting those two old fellows.”
After he finished speaking, he turned around and followed Zi Feng who was walking in front. Seeing how the Netherworld ignored him, a blazing fire appeared in Xiao Bai's eyes. At the same time, he made up his mind and followed the Netherworld that was already far away.
Outside the reeds, there was a gentle breeze, and ripples appeared on the surface of the water not far away. The water bird by the side of the water seemed to be frightened by something, and flew up from the water's surface. Just as the water bird took to the air, a large fish suddenly sprung out from the surface of the water. However, it was unable to catch the flying water bird with its open beak. Moments later, the water bird flew off into the distance, disappearing into the reddened horizon.
The sun had already set below the horizon, and that seemed to be the direction in which it would return home. From the east to the west, this journey back and forth seemed untiring even after many years of walking. Through the gaps between the reeds, Zi Feng could not help but feel sad as he watched the sun gradually set. This feeling of helplessness and desolation caused his originally haggard face to turn even paler.
The homing bird had the direction to return home, but what about himself? He could only wander around helplessly in this world. At this moment, he couldn't help but think back to the battle with the two elders. Now that he thought about it, he felt that his survival was meaningless. The dream that had been chasing him all this while had gradually lost its color and dimmed down.
Stepping onto the peak of the world and becoming the supreme glory of father. But just for this dream, Zi Feng had lost a lot of his money.
He could have lived a peaceful life in the Chu residence, but he did not. If he hadn't chosen to leave back then, even his grandparents wouldn't have died so early! In the past, Zi Feng was strong, so he could protect his grandparents. If he hadn't left, he would have been living a happy and blissful life together with her. If he hadn't left, he wouldn't have ended up in such a sorry state, losing everything!
As he thought about it, the corners of Zi Feng's eyes became moist. In this world, what was there that was worth remembering? Zi Feng also wanted to find a suitable reason for himself. However, just as he was thinking, there was only a blank space. Just as Zi Feng was feeling dejected, that purple-clothed girl suddenly appeared in his mind.
Thinking of this, Zi Feng couldn't help but ask, ”She?” As he spoke, he shook his head helplessly. Right now, Zi Feng also wanted to convince him to love her wholeheartedly, but Zi Feng couldn't do it. He couldn't forget the betrayal and injuries from the past.
Once, Zi Feng had also tried to accept that selfless love, but now, Zi Feng was very scared. Now that he had nothing left, if he were to accept that love and pass away in a blink of an eye, Zi Feng would probably never find a reason to continue living! Right now, Zi Feng was still thinking about his wandering father and his mother, whom he had yet to meet.
Gradually putting away Hu Si's wild thoughts, Zi Feng closed his gloomy eyes and began to calmly adjust his scarred body.
By his side, at the same time Zi Feng closed his eyes, Fa Ming opened his eyes and stared at the lush reeds.
After a moment of recuperation, his broken body had already recovered a bit. Now it was his turn to stand guard. Somehow, the tacit understanding between him and Zi Feng had already been developed in that battle of life and death. As he looked at the dusk, he couldn't help but recall the scene of a cold mountain, a dreamy rain, in his mind.
Here was an endless, empty depression, but there was only smoke and a dreamlike, dim yellow. The two completely different scenes gave Farmer an indescribable feeling.
There was a familiar courtyard, a master who raised himself, and flowers and plants that he cared for. This was a station where he could rest and rest his weary heart, and although he was afraid he would never come back here again, at least in his mind he felt that such a place had once given him peace and quiet.
During the journey of life, there were many relay stations. Although they were only there for a short period of time, they were able to make up for the trauma in a person's heart.
Thinking to that point, Fa Ming couldn't help but turn his head around and look at Chu Feng who was recovering with his eyes closed. He couldn't help but sigh with emotion in his heart, ”I'm afraid that I will have an unresolvable destiny in this life!”
The word 'brother' uncontrollably appeared in Farmer's mind. It was a kind of friendship that didn't require much words and didn't require much attention. Sometimes, just a glance was enough for people to know each other. It was at this moment that the future Great Buddha and Emperor Violet Maple formed a friendship that was difficult to understand.
Wherever the breeze passed by, reeds came down one after another, rolling like waves, causing people to feel very uncomfortable.
However, it was during this moment of peace that the sun gradually set below the horizon. At this moment, the darkness was replaced by light, and the sparse stars in the sky began to shine. Zi Feng and Fa Ming, who were lying among the reeds, looked at the deep night sky and could not help but be lost in it. After a long while, Fa Ming asked, ”What should we do next?”
Zi Feng couldn't help but frown. With his current strength, how could he contend against an organization like that?
