Chapter 66
"Why...... Why don't you kill me? Bai Yinfeng, who was kneeling on his knees, asked in an old and hoarse voice. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The body temperature drops with the cold, and the white snowflakes fall in the sky, like dancing white ghosts. Before you know it, the world has been stained with a thin layer of silver frost.
Dongfang Tianma released his soul pattern ability, and he stood in place and looked at the palace in the distance, his mind was no longer above the victory or defeat. It took a long time for his answer to reach Bai Yinfeng's ears, "I don't want to kill anyone. This is what he said from his heart, not the tolerance that comes after victory.
Snowflakes fell unscrupulously on the ends of Dongfang Pegasus's hair, and his mood at this time was as depressed as this snow. If this was a victory over Bai Yinfeng in the competition, maybe he would have jumped up excitedly and shouted long live in the past, so as to express his inner feelings. But at this moment, after this life-and-death battle, he actually had a sense of unreality as if he was in another world. It seems that everything has left him, time has been frozen here, life, ideals, blood, youth and so on are no longer so precious. He suddenly thought of Aunt Qing, Nie Ru, Yun Jiu, canned food, bread, black charcoal, and everyone in Fengqi Village.
Oh, yes! That is the place that belongs to you, that is the original root of life.
"I'm going back! I want to go back to Fengqi Village, and return to Aunt Qing and everyone. "Never before had there been such a strong emotion in his heart, so strong that every nerve that was fragile could no longer bear it.
"You defeated me, and now you are the number one swordsman of the Wisteria Windmill Country." Bai Yinfeng curled up, the cold wind and snowflakes continued to oppress his thin and shriveled body, and even the silver hair became as bleak as the dead grass on the side of the road. His tone was a little self-deprecating, but also full of praise for Dongfang Tianma.
"I'm not going to be a swordsman." Dongfang Tianma suddenly said, "Just like I told you before, if my dream is truly realized, maybe I will also pursue power like you." They may also become insensitive to the death of others, and will give up a lot of what they had in the first place. I don't want people to be like that, that's not what I want it to be. As he spoke, he took off his coat and bent down to gently drape it on Bai Yinfeng's shoulder, who was shivering from the cold, "So, please take the initiative to stop this senseless war!" His eyes were so determined, as if a sharp blade had been inserted into Bai Yinfeng's heart.
In Bai Yinfeng's eyes, Dongfang Tianma is just a child, a youthful and pure person who exudes the temperament of a big boy all over his body. However, it was when this innocent child said these words that his inner world, which had been hidden in the dark abyss, finally shone into a long-lost ray of sunshine. People will always change, good or evil, or good and evil, but how many people can keep their original intention until they are old? He suddenly remembered his distant memory, when he had just started practicing swordsmanship, and relived the days when he worked hard with sweat, and tears unconsciously moistened his eyes.
In the end, Bai Yinfeng took the initiative to agree to surrender, and Wu Shou, who was instructed by him, was also defeated and died in the chaos.
King Mei Haishi eventually passed away due to serious illness, and with the support of Du Tao and Li Heibao, Princess Mei Xintong became the first queen ever.
"Are you really leaving?" It was Mei Xintong who spoke, she was sitting on the throne of the palace, and Dongfang Tianma was standing in the center of the main hall.
"Well, I've been out for too long, it's time to go back."
Mei Xintong glanced at the servant serving beside her, who immediately saluted and withdrew. Only then did she put down the queen's posture and turned to the gentle and innocent girl she usually had, "You...... I mean, if you can, can you stay for me? It was perhaps the most astonishing thing she had ever had the courage to utter in her life, and even she couldn't believe it, and her face instantly turned as red as a ripe tomato.
Not to mention Dongfang Tianma's reaction, his whole person has completely fallen into a state of dementia. Her Royal Highness, who is the lord of a country, would take the initiative to confess to himself, and this situation was even more unprepared than when he faced Bai Yinfeng alone.
Seeing that Dongfang Tianma was silent, Mei Xintong immediately showed a panicked look and asked, "Don't you want to?" Do you have no heart for me? Then why did you say those words of encouragement to me at that time? You're really ...... It's too much......" As he spoke, he stood up crying silently, and staggered a few steps into the arms of the Eastern Pegasus.
Dongfang Tianma can't cope with a woman's tears, even if she has experienced it many times. Whenever I see the woman's sobbing shoulders and the eyes full of tears, I feel like a bird watching a distant flight. This is the case with Hui Paper Kite, and even more so with Mei Xintong.
In the imperial capital, he sent a letter to Aunt Qing, and the content of the letter did not reveal his strong longing, but only said something that he was fine and did not need to worry, and also informed him of the news that he would return in the near future.
"Are you really going to go back to Brother Tianma? Don't stay in the imperial capital? How prosperous it is here, and with your current ability, it is not a problem to set up your own sword hall. When staying in Yin Ao's porcelain shop, Yin Ao mentioned this problem many times, but Dongfang Tianma just smiled and shook his head.
On the way north to return to Fengqi Village, spring flowers have bloomed unconsciously. Wildflowers sprout in the grass on both sides of the dirt road, and the spring breath is full of life.
"Little brother, are you going to visit relatives in the north?" The coachman with the horsewhip in his hand had a stubble to talk to.
Dongfang Tianma chewed half of the fire and replied, "No, my family lives in the north." ”
"Oh! No wonder you don't tone like a southerner. My brother-in-law is a northerner, and now he lives in the north with my sister, and every year during the Chinese New Year, he brings me some northern souvenirs back......"
The coachman was still in the waves, and Dongfang Tianma realized that the Spring Festival was approaching. Before I knew it, I had been away from my hometown for a whole year. How many years are there in a person's life? How many people can go through so many things along the way like themselves? He couldn't help but fall into an inexplicable sentimentality like an old man who had gone through all the vicissitudes of life.
The Historical Memorial Picture Scroll Museum of Moon Mushroom City, the night view of Blue Candle Town, the statue of the seventeen heroes of the Iron Horse City on Iron Horse, and the towns of Oriental Pegasus that passed along the way have all been revisited.
"You have truly become a swordsman who is famous all over the continent now, Brother Tianma. The news of your victory over the Seven-Fingered Sword Saint Bai Yinfeng in the Imperial Capital has spread even from so far away as ours. In the beef noodle restaurant in Claw Frog City, Kong Ye, who had been funded by Dongfang Tianma's tuition, said with great interest.
Dongfang Tianma put down the noodle bowl that he had eaten upside down, and responded with a smile: "Don't talk about me." Tell us about your experience? How have you been studying this year? ”
"My performance in the Soul Stone Academy is very good, and the teacher also thinks that I have great potential in the study of the Soul Stone, and also helped me apply with the school to waive the tuition fee in the first half of next year. He said that when I was older, he would write me a letter of recommendation and ask me to study in a more professional college in the imperial capital. If you're lucky, you can also go to the Langhua Workshop in the Imperial Capital and visit the studio of Luo Yannan, the master soul stone craftsman. ”
"You mean Luo Yannan? Soul Stone Craftsman Luo Yannan? ”
"That's right, do you know Brother Tianma? That's an amazing person. ”
"If you want to meet Luo Yannan, I can introduce you."
"Really? Is this okay? Oh, my God! It's unbelievable. Kong Ye excitedly stood up directly from his seat, and the eyes of the diners around him were all turned to this side.
"That's right! I have one more thing for you. As he spoke, Dongfang Tianma took out the Soul Seed Soul Stone he had obtained from Eyouwen and put it on the table.
"It's ...... Treasure Soul Cultivation Soul Stone......" Kong Ye was stunned, and just stared.
"It's useless to put this thing in my hand, and there is a piece I got from Bai Yinfeng, let me keep it with Luo Lao, and I'll give it to you." For me, this thing can only be exchanged for some money, and if you take the research of Soul Stone Technology as your ideal, you will definitely be able to make a difference with it. I wish you a speedy success. ”
For the last part of the journey, the Eastern Pegasus chose to walk. Although the closer he got to his homeland, the more difficult it was to suppress the impulse, but he tried to suppress it, and took a firm step like a monk bent on seeking enlightenment.
With a gentle breeze and clouds coming from outside the sky, on the quiet dirt road that seems to have only its own in the world, the Oriental Pegasus fully breathes the air of his homeland. He could smell a special atmosphere that was completely different from other places, without the busyness of Claw Frog City, without the solemnity of Iron Horse City, without the quietness of Blue Candle Town, without the elegance of Shanluzhuang, without the violence of the Evil City, without the leisurely of Idler Town, without the smoke of the imperial capital, but there were feelings he was most familiar with.
The chirping of birds came from a cedar tree on the side of the road, and the Oriental Pegasus looked up and watched, and his mood was as free as that of a cheerful bird. Turning over the dirt slope in front of him is Fengqi Village, and his heart is excited.
Suddenly, his gaze fell on the top of the dirt slope, where a group of people were standing, waiting for something to come about.
At this time, the backpack that I am used to carrying on weekdays has become a burden of trouble.
Dongfang Pegasus reached out and pushed off the strap on his shoulder, and his backpack fell to the mud in a flash, and his people were already striding towards the crowd at the top of the slope.
On his face, there was a happy smile that he had not seen in the past year.
