Chapter 18: The Return

Don't spend the demon night, Yunfei turned his head and went back to his room. The neatly stacked rice paper kept on his chest, unmoved. When he was undressing and sleeping, it was like a butterfly that had been dried by the wind, stumbling down lightly and silently landing at Yunfei's feet.

Yun Fei looked down at it, picked it up and put it in his arms, and then slowly closed his shirt.

Song Buyu is like an introduction, evoking his memory of half a year ago.

That night, Yunfei had a dream.

He dreamed that he seemed to have returned to the national capital and Luo Qingjia's body, he lived an ordinary life, and saw relatives and friends, but when he walked in front of the bronze mirror and took a photo, it was still Yun Fei's young and pale face.

The man in the mirror smiled at her, and then the skin at the corner of her mouth cracked all at once. He was awakened instantly, only to find that he could not escape from the dream. He could feel himself sleeping on the bed with his clothes closed, and Yun Di'er sleeping on the windowsill instead of the bed as usual. There was a little moonlight seeping through the window, but he could see the mirror in his dream slowly overlapping the bright window and then opening. The man in the mirror struggled out of it little by little, inch by inch, the skin at the corner of his mouth was broken to the base of his ear, as if he was smiling, and his face was hideous.

He stepped over Yun Di'er's body and walked to his bed step by step, his cold hands grasping him. Yun Fei felt that his body in reality was trembling wildly, completely out of control. Then he heard a sound similar to a howl, as if it were a male voice or a female voice. It's like Yunfei, and it's like Ying Lian. The pale youth clung to him and shook him.

He let out a mournful moan, "You've hurt us......" The male voice was crying, and the female voice was screaming. He was half frightened to death, trying to get out of this grotesque dream, but he couldn't move.

Not me! I'm a victim too! He screamed in his heart, but only he could hear it.

"You implicated me...... You hurt Ying Lian...... We are dead, and you will be buried with you......" The man's cold hand pierced deep into his body like the fingertips of a wild beast.

But instead of feeling pain, he cried, laughed, and screamed, as if he had been infected by that emotion. Male and female voices mingled in his head, circling......

"Daddy?"

Yun Fei sat up suddenly, his silkworm shirt was soaked with cold sweat, and the pillow was even more damp. He wiped his cheeks and saw that they were covered with slimy tears.

"Ghost press bed......" Yun Fei's hands and feet were cold, it stands to reason that he has mastered the way of cultivation, and there will be no more situations where he can't control his own temperature. He lay down slowly, in his wet clothes and quilt. Looking at the roof of the shed, I suddenly felt a kind of fear.

Yun Di'er woke up, and sat on the windowsill with her feet hanging down and looked at him, and the moonlight outside flowed in flakes, beating her hair and collar silvery-white.

"It's just a dream, it's just a dream...... Yun Fei comforted himself in his heart. Yun Di'er was very alert when she slept, and if someone opened the window and the door, she would definitely be able to feel it.

I don't know when, he fell into a deep sleep again, and he

Dreaming again. But this time he was in a calm mood, walking in the darkness and seeing the little phosphorus fire in the graveyard around him. He didn't feel scared, but moved forward steadily. Suddenly, he came to a mirror, a large golden bronze mirror, and when he tried to look at it, it turned into a vast lake in an instant. Yunfei leaned over until he saw his face in the lake.

What he saw reflected the mediocre-looking Yunfei, who suddenly became Luo Qingjia and then Ying Lian. Ying Lian was crying, Luo Qingjia was laughing, and Yun Fei was looking at all this indifferently. Somehow, somehow, three men stood in front of him, and they tore at his clothes, arms, and body as if they were going to tear him apart with their bare hands.

He tried to talk to them, but couldn't make a sound. In his ears, all he heard was Ying Lian's cry, Luo Qingjia's laughter, and a neutral, flat male voice repeating "You are me" over and over again...... Who am I......"

"Hula", the dream was like a piece of paper being punctured, and he woke up again, with a cold sweat behind his back. It was only dawn outside the window, and the noise of human voices could be faintly heard, probably because Ye Weiyang and the others had woken up.

Yun Di'er was holding a brush in front of the desk and scribbling on the paper, Yun Fei staggered up and got out of bed, touched his hand in a cold sweat into his arms, and trembled and pulled out the rice paper that was as thin as a cicada's wings.

When the finger pinched it, a wet fingerprint appeared on the paper, and the sound of "bang-la-la" constantly disturbed Yunfei's mind when it was unfolded.

When he looked at it, there were only two handsome block letters written on the huge paper

Return.

Without waiting for dawn, Yunfei got dressed and prepared to sneak out of the night wolf while people were unprepared.

"Daddy?" Yun Di'er put down the brush at this time, stared at him with a pair of big black eyes, and shouted childishly.

"I'll go out, and if anyone asks, they'll say I'm going to the jade archway in the city." Yunfei pressed her to the chair and leaned over. "Dad, I'm going to the Jade Archway."

Yun Di'er nodded obediently.

"Where's Daddy?"

"Dad went to the jade archway." Yun Di'er laughed childishly, and two shallow pear vortices appeared on her face, revealing a small crystal tiger tooth.

"Yes, Indigo is good," Yunfei rubbed her head like a cat. "Wait until I come back and bring you rock sugar gourds."

Taking advantage of the red light that crawled out from the east, Yunfei quietly touched the stable, led a red horse, put on the saddle, walked out of the night wolf's small door, and headed to the west.

If you ride a horse back and forth, it won't be far at all. But when Yunfei walked on foot from the border of Qingchuan half a year ago, it took two days. Along the way, his mind kept flashing yesterday's dreams, and he thought, what would the person who gave him the body say about this "halfway retreat"? And Song Buyu only gave him the word "return", not at all pointed, did he know about his soul, or just to reminisce about the old as an "old man"?

Yun Fei then thought that he had concealed the matter of this line, if he really encountered an accident, would Ye Yan find out? But such as

If he really sent these two ambiguous "returns" to his nose, would he be considered "fornicating with foreign enemies" and "having bad intentions"?

In less than an hour, Yun Fei's brain was about to be blown up by the questions that followed. Climbing a green hill, he slowed down his horse's pace and walked slowly. This is where Yunfei used to live, and most of the charred ruins have been blown away by the wind, leaving some broken ruins and ruins still lying there alone, offering sad joy for the return of the master.

Yun Fei's throat moved. He didn't hold a grudge against Song Buyu, and he couldn't even complain, he felt that the intersection between the two was not deep, and he hadn't even met seriously before, but what if it was for Yunfei before? What kind of feelings should that person have for Song Buyu?

Turning the horse's head, Yunfei slid down the gentle slope. He was not prepared to enter through the gate of the Song family, and he was not even prepared to meet Song Buyu directly.

He dismounted and entered the courtyard through the small door. This place was unfamiliar to him, but now it is even more unfamiliar. He remembered that when he first came, it should be March or April, when the willow leaves had just grown buds, and in the blink of an eye, it was the end of September, and most of the flowers had withered, and the rest were just remnants of flowers and willows.

He took two deep breaths and quietly searched each room.

The lotus leaves are still there. The maids in the raccoon showed him where to go. He didn't want to ask them about Ying Lian's condition, for fear that it would arouse suspicion, or...... Hear something bad.

Walking along the willow corridor to the end, he found the small room at the corner. The maids are supposed to live together, he put his hand on the door, thought to himself. I don't know if Ying Lian also lives here, could it be that person who opened the door when he knocked on the door......

Before his hand touched the broken wooden door, it opened with a "squeak", and Yun Fei was still imagining, startled, and took a step back.

"Yikes!" The woman who came out was also startled, and she raised her face and looked at him with mournful eyes. Suddenly, her eyes widened, as if she was about to scream, but she quickly raised her hand to cover her mouth.

"You...... You are...... Brother Yun......!! ”

That's right, the woman who came out was the lotus leaf.

Yun Fei nodded, Lotus Ye naturally didn't know the origin of the soul technique. "Is it convenient to talk here?"

“…… Come on in! Come in and say! ...... "It took a long time for the lotus leaf to come back to her senses, half surprised, half frightened. But she didn't dare to ask why Yunfei was still alive, because this incident also had the responsibility of her betrayal.

"Brother Yun, I'm ......" closed the door, and the tears of the lotus leaf fell. At that time, she really didn't want to do that, but who could resist the Second Young Master and the cultivator? "Brother Yun, I know you complain, I was really forced, please don't ......"

“…… I'm not a ghost, I'm still alive. The corners of Yun Fei's mouth grinned, Lotus Ye's fear of Song Buyu's brother surpassed everything, and once again saw that she thought it was a fantasy, so she thought that Yun Fei's ghost had come to her.

"Huh? ......"The lotus leaves are still a little cloudy.

"Don't talk about this, let me ask you where Ying Lian is now?" Yun Fei lowered his voice, as if present

The woman was somewhere in the room, as if she had been alarmed by fear.

Lotus Ye was stunned for a moment, glanced at the bed on the ground, and suddenly looked at him with teary eyes. She ...... She was taken, taken, taken away......"

Taken away?

"Who took it away? Song Bugong...... Song does not exceed! Yun Fei suddenly became anxious, grabbed her shoulders with both hands and shook it, almost shaking the woman's already soft bones.

Song Buyu's "return", is it really coveting him? But he's not a fool, once he attacks himself, will the night wolf let him go? Or is it ...... He expected that he would not tell Ye Yan about this, and wanted to seize this loophole and win with one blow?

"Doesn't he already know about the soul technique? Was it the man who showed his feet? …… It shouldn't be, in order to protect Ying Lian, he didn't hesitate to swap bodies with me, and he broke through the wind and waves, and he wouldn't capsize in the gutter! Yun Fei's heart was thinking quickly.

"No...... No," Lotus Leaf was a little incoherent, not knowing where to start. "No, it's not the eldest young master. The eldest young master also came here yesterday, and similarly, he also failed to find Lianlian. Half a year ago, when Lian Lian first came back, she went crazy and kept talking nonsense, and within a few days, a few people she didn't know came and wanted to take her away, but Ying Lian didn't go with them, crying and making a fuss, but she was still taken away! ”

Yun Fei suddenly felt a pain in his abdomen, and a stream of heat rushed to his whole body in an instant!

"They...... Found me......"

Letting go of the lotus leaf, he took two steps back in a distraction, and then he felt that his eyes were dark, as if he couldn't see anything. Lotus wanted to reach out to help him, but was pushed away.

Yun Fei didn't lose consciousness, on the contrary, his consciousness had never been so clear!

He understood that it was those who had exchanged his soul with Ying Lian's had found it! They used the soul technique to cover people's eyes and ears, and then did not hesitate to cut off the mountains and rivers to prevent her from returning to the capital, and then used the great magic power to deduce her location until they came to the door......

But how did they know that the soul in Ying Lian's body now was not Luo Qingjia!

"I've hurt another person...... I've hurt another person......" Yunfei squatted down in distraction, hugged his head in pain, and muttered to himself. He really regretted that even if he was facing a mountain of swords and a sea of fire at that time, he had to let that person go with him! The man had a chance to escape, but he would rather play insane and live under the enemy's roof than suppress it! He would rather compromise himself than let Luo Qingjia, who he never knows, fly away!

But what about himself, and how did he repay him? He used his soul to keep himself alive, to cultivate, to find Ying Lian, to return to his homeland, and to give himself a jade lingzhi companion, so how did he treat him? After the night wolf settled down, he obviously had the ability to go to the Song Dynasty and not exceed the important people, but he left this matter out of the clouds, and considered entering the Weiming Sect to study, practice, play jade, and live as a man, making enough plans for a new life in the future...... What that person said was not wrong, the most selfish person who harmed everyone was her Luo Qingjia!

Suddenly, Yun Fei felt that the lotus leaf suddenly retreated far away from him

place. Raising his head slightly, he stood up stiffly, he didn't even look back, he knew that it must be Song Buyu standing behind him.

Song Buyu saw the man turn around without saying a word, a pair of eyes full of pain, anger, and resentment stared at him, Yun Fei's expression did not change much, but he had already gritted his teeth at this time.

"I didn't catch up," Song Buyu said flatly. "I'm sorry."

"It's me who is sorry for him." Yun Fei lowered his voice, and suddenly felt full of exhaustion. "You're sorry for him too."

Song Buyu smiled undeniably, "You should recognize those people." ”

"At least they know me."

Song Buyu didn't have much interest in this kind of ambiguous words, he leaned back, "Take a step to speak." ”
