One Qi Chaoyang

Chapter 230 230: See me because I see you, and let go of everything.

"Qiu Mengyuan is dead?"

"Who can kill him?"

"Master Feng Hong from Tiandu Mountain."

"Master Feng Hong? Master Feng Hong can read people's fate. Does that mean he can change their fate?"

"I don't know, but Qiu Mengyuan is dead. He was burned to death. That fire was very special..."

"Don't move yet, let's see what's going on."

"Investigation is necessary, but be careful not to be included in Master Feng Hong's star palace destiny chart, otherwise it will be difficult to escape."

Zhao Fuyun went to a place.

Nanling, Wuze County.

He knew that after he left, the next people to come here were the siblings Wen Bo and Wen Xun.

There had been a great war in this area, and I had always been thinking about it and worried, but sometimes spiritual practice is like this. You can worry about it, even if it’s someone close to you, as they may be gone for a hundred years before you turn around.

It had been almost twenty years since they last parted ways. He hadn't seen Wenxun, Wenbo, and Yang Liuqing. He didn't know how Wenxun and Wenbo were doing, so this time when he left the mountain, he just wanted to go and take a look.

He soared into the sky and looked far to the south, only to see endless clouds. Some people say that the higher you stand, the farther you can see. However, when you stand in a place that you once thought was very high, you will find that there are still clouds and mist covering your eyes.

Especially in the Nanling area, the clouds and fog covered the sky. The whole land was covered by clouds and fog. Even the sunlight seemed weak.

Zhao Fuyun couldn't help but think that in the area of Nanling to the south of the Great Zhou, the clouds were so thick that they blocked out the sun. Further south was the Qianshan Kingdom, and further out was the southern wilderness with its polar night.

To the west is a desert, further west is the endless ghost realm, to the northwest are the Sixteen Kingdoms of Yanyun, to the north is the extremely cold snowy region, and to the east is the endless ocean.

In the southwest, there are alpine snowfields, and connected to the alpine snowfields is Tiandu Mountain. A corner of Tiandu Mountain reaches the southern wilderness polar night land.

He couldn't help but think that the entire Great Zhou Kingdom seemed to be besieged here.

Of course, among the cultivators here, there have always been those who left this land and went overseas, to places further west, or to the Nanmang Polar Night further south of Qianshan Kingdom, and they all never returned.

Zhao Fuyun's aunt, Yun Yiqing, was wandering in some forbidden places outside.

Zhao Fuyun actually wanted to, but he knew that his cultivation was only at the Purple Mansion level, which was not enough for him to venture into those places.

At the same time, I thought that it was truly amazing that the founding emperor of the Great Zhou Kingdom was able to open up such a country in such a place and provide people with a place to live.

Zhao Fuyun lowered the altitude of the cloud because it was easy to get lost in the thick clouds and mist, and he would not be able to see the ground, which would lead to him losing his way.

Lowering the altitude will give you a better view of this picturesque landscape.

Especially in the Nanling area, the rivers and mountains shrouded in clouds and mist have a mysterious beauty. The mountains and waters are interdependent. Those mountains, waters and clouds, viewed from another angle, look like a complex talisman land.

Mountains are nodes, water is lines, and clouds are lingering where mountains and water meet, like clusters of mystery, the names of gods written between heaven and earth in the form of cloud patterns.

Zhao Fuyun saw Nanling City.

Nanling City is not small. Back then, Wuzhou Lai Wuze from Nanling City was killed by Xun Lanyin, and the case was ultimately left unresolved.

Now, of course, Zhao Fuyun knew that the reason he was able to become the prefect was not because Nanling was the most capable, but because many people here pushed him out to be an honorary prefect.

Because in the entire Nanling Prefecture, Xuelong Mountain actually has the final say.

The reason why the Nanling area would be honored by the Great Zhou is because the Qianshan Kingdom has become somewhat aggressive.

So Nanling Prefecture was returned to Da Zhou, and Tiandu Mountain on the Da Zhou side stepped forward to fight a war with Qianshan Kingdom.

This may also be part of the transaction between the Great Zhou Kingdom and Tiandu Mountain, because after that, Tiandu Mountain entered Guangyuan Prefecture.

The Daoziyuan established by Zhao Fuyun in Wuze County has also been preserved.

He did not enter the Nanling City, but came to Wuze.

Zhao Fuyun was not very clear about the relationship between Tiandu Mountain and the entire Nanling. However, some things did not need to be explained so clearly. The relationship between the two factions was sometimes like this. Just go with your feeling.

However, Zhao Fuyun felt that Xuelong Mountain definitely did not want to be annexed by Qianshan Kingdom. Relatively speaking, Da Zhou Kingdom and Tiandu Mountain were still good, but perhaps they themselves were not very willing to come forward. Therefore, other local forces that controlled Nanling Prefecture behind the scenes contacted Da Zhou Kingdom and made the Nanling area become Nanling Prefecture.

These are just Zhao Fuyun's feelings, and it's hard to say whether they are right or not.

The outer river of Wuze County is called Jiuqu Wuhe River. There is a hillside beside the Wuhe River, with Wuze County at the back and the quietly flowing river in front.

It was evening at this time, and a cloud of smoke fell from the sky, like a fog dragon descending.

The fog on the Wu River is not as thick as before. There are still people fishing in it, but many fishermen will hang a glass lamp on the bow of the boat. This lamp can protect against the wind on the river and also has the effect of warding off evil spirits.

These lamps are all inscribed with spells and used as sacrificial lamps in the Chiyan Temple.

At the stern, some people still carry a black jar.

Such a jar may contain poisonous insects that you have raised yourself, or it may also contain little ghosts that you have raised yourself.

After all, the customs of a place have been formed over hundreds or thousands of years and are considered to be its own craftsmanship, which is difficult to change in a short period of time.

When he fell, there was no sound and no one saw him.

But Wen Xun in the temple had a slight feeling. She felt that the fire on the statue in the temple seemed to be blown by the wind.

The wind could not blow away the "fire energy" in the temple, so she thought that someone might have come and stirred up the "fire energy" in the temple. So she went out to see, and saw a man standing in front of the temple looking at the river ahead.

There used to be a row of trees on the hillside in front of the Chiyan Temple, but now they have all been cut down, so you can see the lake unobstructed from here.

"Senior brother."

A surprised and expectant female voice sounded behind me.

Zhao Fuyun turned around and saw Wen Xun.

Wen Xun's appearance is what he imagined in his mind, but also very different from what he imagined in his mind.

What is the same is that the appearance has not changed, but the difference is that the temperament has changed a lot.

In the past, she was a little tail following everyone, liked to cry, and was often sad about the passing of time.

But now she looked less fragile and more strong, like a plum blossom blooming after wind and frost.

Zhao Fuyun turned around and smiled in return.

Wen Xun smiled in the same way: "Brother, it really is you. I was saying that when I was cooking this morning, the fire in the stove made a whooshing sound, which symbolized a happy event and the arrival of a noble person. At that time, I was wondering if it was you, Brother, who was coming."

"Really?" Zhao Fuyun said with a smile. He certainly didn't care whether it was true or not, as long as everyone was happy.

"It's true!" Wen Xun said, "Brother, I'm so happy that you can come."

Zhao Fuyun smiled, but didn't know what to say for a moment, because at this moment he discovered that his weight in other people's hearts might be higher than the other person's weight in his own heart.

"I'm also very happy to see that you are safe." Zhao Fuyun said, these were his true feelings.

Wen Xun smiled shyly.

"Where is your brother Wenbo?" Zhao Fuyun asked.

"He is in the Daoziyuan in that county. We separated the Chiyan Temple and the Daoziyuan, and my brother rebuilt a Daoziyuan in the county." Wen Xun said.

Zhao Fuyun nodded and said, "As you should, you did a good job."

That night, Zhao Fuyun had dinner and drinks with Wen Xun and Wen Bo at the Chiyan Temple.

Zhao Fuyun usually doesn't drink, but he did today. Wen Bo looked like he had been drinking for many years, and even Wen Xun was very skilled at sipping.

Perhaps the environment here puts a lot of pressure on the brothers and sisters.

"Why did you choose to come here?" Zhao Fuyun asked.

"This place was opened up by our senior brothers, so of course we have to guard it here." Wen Bo said as a matter of course.

Zhao Fuyun knew that their coming here was also a move by Tiandu Mountain in Nanling Prefecture. Perhaps they didn't need to do anything, and it would be enough for them to just exist.

Zhao Fuyun asked them if they had encountered any difficulties here. They only said that there were some small demons appearing from time to time in the mountains opposite. Of course, the people in Wuze often made Gu in the mountains, and some people who raised corpses stole corpses and caused conflicts. Fortunately, the people here liked to solve them by themselves.

Over the years, Wen Bo has taught many students in his Daozi Academy, and many of them have reached the authentic Xuanguan period.

Of course, both Wen Xun and Wen Bo have already established their foundations, one with fire and the other with sharp gold energy.

Zhao Fuyun didn't need to ask, he could directly feel the anger in Wen Xun and the sharp energy in Wen Bo.

He also saw the flying knife bag hanging around Wen Bo's waist.

Wen Xun also had a very strong temper.

Wen Bo said that the real evil they used to build their foundation were all rewards from the mountain gate.

Then he talked about the great battle that took place here in the past. The Purple Mansion cultivators in the mountain gate and the cultivators from Qianshan Kingdom fought a great battle in the mountains in front.

Zhao Fuyun could imagine the danger they were in here, but they, as people who had not even built a foundation, were able to persevere, which showed how determined they were.

Zhao Fuyun suddenly realized that he actually had a background. He left here when the danger was the most severe, then practiced in the mountains for many years, and then went to Guangyuan Prefecture. Although he also experienced dangers in Guangyuan Prefecture, he had Master Xun to protect him.

However, there are no siblings Wen Xun and Wen Bo. The other Yang Liuqing was transferred to the Inspection Office to carry out a mission, and now there is no news about him at all. Zhao Fuyun doesn’t even know whether he is still alive.

Compared to them, Zhao Fuyun found that he had actually been well protected.

"You are very brave." Zhao Fuyun couldn't help but sigh.

Wen Bo and Wen Xun were both silent, and finally said: "Isn't this the case in the world of cultivation? When we move forward in the fog and danger, at least we can hold torches to illuminate our surroundings and choose a direction to move forward."

"Compared to ordinary people, they can only stay in the fog, waiting for the danger and judgment in the fog."

Zhao Fuyun sighed in his heart. He knew that although Wen Bo and Wen Xun still looked young, they had actually experienced hardships and tribulations in their hearts.

But fortunately, they don't seem to have become the kind of people who only lament the unfairness of fate.

"A practitioner must look up, look down, look forward, and look back at the right time. Only in this way can he clearly know his position and determine where he should go." Zhao Fuyun said.

"Brother, you can still say such sensible things whenever you open your mouth." Wen Xun said.

Zhao Fuyun and they sat in the courtyard of the temple for a night, recalling their life in the lower courtyard, their past experiences, especially the secret place above the foggy river, and looking forward to the future.

Zhao Fuyun couldn't help but think of the situation when Xun Lanyin was trapped inside. Looking back now, was Xun Lanyin really trapped?

He himself is now a Purple Mansion cultivator, and Xun Lanyin was also a Purple Mansion cultivator at that time. He suddenly didn't believe that Xun Lanyin would be trapped.

When the day was about to dawn, Wen Bo finally couldn't help but ask, "Brother, is Mi Fu dead?"

Zhao Fuyun felt Wen Xun's nervousness after Wen Bo asked this question. He knew that the two siblings must have talked about Mi Fu.

Zhao Fuyun was silent for a moment, then said, "That year, after I successfully built my foundation here, I was stopped by a group of people on my way back to Tiandu Mountain. They were invited by Mi Fu. They were not far from Xuelong Mountain, and he was buried in the roadside forest there."

Wen Bo sighed and said, "Mi Fu's family originally came from a background of bandits. He has already entered Tiandu Mountain. How could he want to do such a thing again?"

"Some habits are engraved in the soul and it takes several generations to cleanse them," said Zhao Fuyun.

After dawn, Zhao Fuyun said goodbye and left.

However, before leaving, he left a few talismans for the two of them to use for self-defense.

After leaving here, he went to Guangyuan Prefecture.

Compared to Nanling, which is full of mountains and rivers and has almost no flat land, Guangyuan Prefecture is relatively better, but not much better. The entire Guangyuan Prefecture is far inferior to Luodu. The prosperity of Dayingfang City in Luodu is several times that of Guangyuanfang City.

One is a border area, and the other is the central area of the Great Zhou Kingdom. They are incomparable.

Zhao Fuyun did not alarm anyone, but he had a feeling.

Traveling to so many places in the world, you will have a feeling that the world is not big, but for many people, the sky they see before their eyes is a place they will find it difficult to leave in their entire life.

For example, Wen Xun and Wen Bo have been guarding that misty swamp for so many years, and they have not been to any other places.

Even many of the upper-class figures in Guangyuan Prefecture who are considered to be well-known by others rarely leave Guangyuan Prefecture.

The people and things in Guangyuan Prefecture, everything they do here, are like a net or an invisible cage that locks them here.

He happened to meet Xie Anlan on the way and was very surprised that Zhao Fuyun did not hide deliberately, so he was seen by him.

Naturally, he invited Zhao Fuyun to go back and have a drink.

And after knowing that Zhao Fuyun had entered the Purple Mansion realm, he became even more respectful.

However, fortunately, he was also a very free and easy person. He did not dare to say anything just because Zhao Fuyun became Zifu.

The two were still drinking tea, but this time they didn't go to any brothel.

Zhao Fuyun sipped the tea, savoring its aroma.

Xie Anlan's words were filled with envy for Zhao Fuyun's ability to open up the Purple Mansion.

He said that he had become the patriarch of the Xie family over the years, but he was also bound by this identity. The fame, power and wealth formed a potential energy that wrapped him tightly, making it impossible for him to calm down for a moment. It was almost impossible for him to improve his cultivation, and his mind seemed to be unable to open up, let alone open up the Purple Mansion.

Zhao Fuyun could feel the pain in his heart, and he knew very well that the pain was only clear and obvious after he saw himself entering the Purple Mansion.

He knew that it was a painful thing when a person deep in his heart yearned for a higher level of life but had to be bound by worldly fame, wealth and family.

Zhao Fuyun was glad that he had no family and no fame, wealth or power.

He suddenly felt that the path of cultivation should perhaps be a process of discarding things along the way, discarding those things that would affect one's progress.

Xie Anlan in front of him was a good example. In his heart, Xie Anlan was an outstanding person. His aura was clear and bright back then. Although it was much richer now than before, it was not as bright and lively as before. He was no longer as active, and no longer exuded vitality and fragrance. He had already become a little old.

Zhao Fuyun couldn't help but say: "If you can let go, everything is still in time. Letting go of everything is the time for you to get rid of the shackles and see the new world."

This is still what Zhao Fuyun really thinks.

Xie Anlan sat there without saying anything. Zhao Fuyun had already stood up and left. He wanted to speak, but in the end he didn't. Zhao Fuyun still left in the morning light.

In Xie Anlan's eyes, Zhao Fuyun seemed to always be walking in the morning light, with the brilliance of the morning light, as if there were infinite possibilities.

Zhao Fuyun went to Daoziyuan to take a look.

Compared to the past, Daoziyuan has obviously expanded a lot.

However, Chi Feilong is no longer here. Zhao Fuyun just learned from Xie Anlan that Chi Feilong has been away for many years. He said that he went to find the Tiangang Spirit Liquid to open up the Purple Mansion.

Zhao Fuyun was heading towards Guangyuan Prefecture, but when he was walking along the long street and about to leave the city, he saw a man standing on the top of the city wall. He was wearing a brown warrior robe, a long sword hanging from his waist, a warrior scarf on his head, his face was white and beardless, and he looked very heroic.

He knew that person, but he didn't know him when he first came to Guangyuan Prefecture, but he found out later.

General Nangong.

Nangong Fei, who was born in the Nangong family of Mingling in Guangyuan, was appointed as the garrison general. He was usually very low-key, but he was responsible for guarding Guangyuan Prefecture.

He stood on the top of the city wall and looked at Zhao Fuyun, just like the time when he stood on the top of the city wall and watched Zhao Fuyun come back from outside the city, but this time he stood there and watched Zhao Fuyun go out.

Zhao Fuyun clasped his fists and said, "General Nangong, nice to meet you."

Nangong Fei also clasped his fists and returned the greeting, but did not say anything.

The city gate was not open, but Zhao Fuyun's body walked through the gap in the city gate, and then walked step by step into the morning light in the distance.

Nangong Fei stood on the top of the city wall and watched.

Many people said that Tiandu Mountain's reputation has declined greatly in recent years and it has been on the decline and entered its twilight years, but Nangong Fei saw the vitality and rapid growth of new branches in Xun Lanyin, Ma Sanhu and Zhao Fuyun.

This Zhao Fuyun was only a flash in the pan in Guangyuan Prefecture back then, and then he left and disappeared. When he saw him again this time, he had become a Purple Mansion cultivator. The fiery aura he exuded made him feel dangerous.

Moreover, he also knew that Chi Feilong, who was here before, was also a Purple Mansion seedling.
