Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 1578 (One Thousand Five Hundred and Seventy-Eight) Kind Face

Chen Wenyuan said: "The sun shining on my face must be scary."

Wu Xunsheng said: "How could that be? Actually, Master Chen looks very friendly."

"Looks kind?" Chen Wenyuan asked, "Are you talking about me?"

"Yes." Wu Xunsheng said.

Chen Wenyuan felt a little warm in his heart when he heard Wu Xunsheng say this, and said, "It's not easy for people to say that I look kind when the sunset shines on my wrinkled face! If I were the same age as when Xia Jing first paired up with Liu Fangyan and let me see a 'sun' in the dark sky, I would have looked kind. I don't know what Xia Jing thought of me when the sun set that day. I guess she would have thought I looked kind at that time. Later, under the shining of the 'sun' in the dark sky, I should have looked kind in Xia Jing's eyes."

Chen Wenyuan thought of the scene of that day again. For decades, he would come to this mountain peak to water the snow cold grass and play the shakuhachi when the sun was setting. This was because he always remembered the sunset when Shan Xiajing first let him see a "sun" in the dark sky - the scene of sitting there with her and watching it. The reason why the snow cold grass can only be watered at sunset is also the result of the curse he cast on the snow cold grass before. The curse could not be changed from the first time he cast it. The content of the curse he cast later was different from the first time. In addition to the sunset that day, Chen Wenyuan was of course also deeply impressed by the scene of seeing the "sun" after dark that day. However, in the past years, Chen Wenyuan felt that in such a turbid world, the rising Liufang Rock was not the sun after all when it was dark. It was not until Wu Xunsheng handed the box to him later that he looked at the contents inside. Under the influence of Liufang Rock, he suddenly felt that as long as he treated it as the sun, it could be the sun.

Chen Wenyuan thought about his past self and said, "In those years, I was really not a good person. How can I still look kind now?"

Wu Xunsheng said: "This is how I feel right now. Although I've heard people say that Taoist Master Jingxi is scary before, at this moment, I really can't think of any connection between Taoist Master Chen's appearance and the word 'scary'."

Chen Wenyuan asked, "Have you heard any recent news about me before you came up here?"

"Recently? No." Wu Xunsheng said.

Chen Wenyuan said, "I didn't meet anyone who came here before you came."

What Chen Wenyuan said was true.

When Tie Jinjue was out before, he heard from others that two people went to Jingxi Mountain and one person disappeared. After returning to Tie Cangting, he told Tie Hongyan, "Not long ago, two people went there to look for Xuehan grass, but only one person came back. The one who came back said that the other person disappeared on Jingxi Mountain. He also said that the Jingxi Taoist priest told him that if anyone else goes there to look for Xuehan grass, they will not be able to leave Jingxi Mountain alive."

In fact, the disappearance of that person had nothing to do with Chen Wenyuan. The missing person had a conflict with another person who was traveling with him near Jingxi Mountain and was killed by the other person. In order to prevent others from finding anything on Jingxi Mountain, the murderer frightened others and specifically told others that the Jingxi Taoist priest told him that if anyone went to look for the snow-cold grass again, they would not be able to leave Jingxi Mountain alive.

In fact, from beginning to end, neither the murderer nor the missing person had ever seen Chen Wenyuan.
