Chapter 35—The Secret of Eternity (Determination)

There is a vast poplar forest between Ruocheng, a city in the south of Qi and Linguan, the first male in Qi country, which looks very magnificent from the outside. But in fact, ordinary people passing by didn't know that this poplar forest was actually the most spectacular bamboo forest on the Demon Spirit Continent. This bamboo forest is usually known to very few people, and even the people who came to this bamboo forest would not be able to see that this was the most diverse and precious bamboo forest on the Demon Spirit Continent if they didn't go deep and take a closer look.

In this bamboo forest, few people come and go, and few people know about this matter. And this bamboo forest is where Feng Baiyi and Xia Qing lived in seclusion after retiring to the rivers and lakes, and this bamboo forest is also where Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan brothers and sisters were born and raised. And in this bamboo forest, since Feng Baiyi and Xia Qing left to go to the feudal country, and when Feng Yuchong and the three of them went to study at the Qi Kingdom Royal Academy, there was no occasional laughter. There are not many people living in this bamboo forest, and most of them are old and don't want to ask more about these worldly things. It is precisely because of this reason that since the departure of the two children Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, who were originally born in this bamboo forest, the laughter of the children has never been heard in this bamboo forest. The bamboo forest is full of silence and tranquility, and even adds two points of horror. Especially during this time period,

At this time, a slightly lonely figure appeared outside the bamboo forest, this figure looked young, a young man dressed in white. This young man has a handsome face and extraordinary skills. But there was a dull dead air on his face, which made everyone who saw the boy along the way quickly avoid it.

The young man finally walked back to the outside of the bamboo forest, his face finally showed a faint wry smile, he looked up at the sky with a faint cloud of smoke, his eyes closed slightly, as if muttering to himself, "I finally came back here"

This bamboo forest is where Feng Yuchong was born and where he left. Today, the Demon Spirit Continent has been swept by war, and this bamboo forest is still out of a peaceful and tranquil state, and has not suffered any impact or damage. It can be regarded as a paradise-like existence.

Returning to his hometown, Feng Yuchong did not show any smile on his face, and his heart contained deep sadness. Although Gao Hanyue saved his life because he was rescued, he still lost his memory, and now he has become such a person who exists on the Demon Spirit Continent as "Xia Liuli". I can't remember everything in the past anymore, although the female layman once told Feng Yuchong that Gao Hanyue may have taken the initiative to seal her memories and didn't want to recall them. Although Feng Yuchong knew that there might be a way for Gao Hanyue to recover her memory, it was bound to bring her deeper sadness and sadness to the world. Rather than this, it is really better to let Gao Hanyue use Xia Liuli's identity to survive above the Demon Spirit Continent.

Although this result may be the one that Feng Yuchong is most willing to accept intellectually, but from Feng Yuchong's own emotions, Feng Yuchong feels sad, one of the reasons is that Gao Hanyue is older than them, and has been his sister since he was a child, taking care of him and protecting him. From the time when Feng Yuchong gradually became sensible, he vowed to become stronger and become a person who could protect his sister Yue. It's just that now, he has grown up, but Gao Hanyue has left him.

On the other hand, in fact, Feng Yuchong himself doesn't know why, he has not only had a kind of attachment to Gao Hanyue since he was a child, but even a kind of liking since he was a child. This hazy liking didn't burst out until the moment Gao Hanyue jumped into the Xuanling River, Feng Yuchong at that moment had never been so brave, and he shouted a sentence to Gao Hanyue for the first time that he had been hiding in his heart for a long time. "Sister Yue, you have protected me since I was a child, and I will protect you in the future, and I will never let you suffer the slightest harm!"

After all, this sentence could not be spoken, and Gao Hanyue's figure had already thrown himself into the Xuanling River like a fairy in white. This also made Feng Yuchong feel remorseful in his heart now, Gao Hanyue has now lost his former memory, how can he say the words "I want to protect you" to a "Xia Liuli" girl who doesn't know him at all?

This is also the real reason why Feng Yuchong was depressed all the way and his face was pale. He is now back in the bamboo forest, first because this is his hometown, and he can still find some memories of his past when he returns here, and the other reason is because Feng Shanshan has already used carrier pigeons to pass the news to him, Feng Shanshan told him that he has buried Gao Hanyue's mother back in the peach blossom forest where they grew up. Feng Yuchong knew that Gao Hanyue's mother should be buried under the peach blossom tree where Baoyi Tongzi appeared. The environment is quiet, quiet and peaceful, and will not be easily destroyed by outsiders. Indeed, it is the best resting place for this.

Feng Yuchong let out a long sigh and slowly walked into this bamboo forest, which looked like a poplar forest, but was actually a bamboo forest. The bamboo forest is still like this, and the fresh bamboo that grows fresh every year is stubble after stubble. It's summer now, and the figures who were busy picking fresh and tender green bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest are no longer visible. The annual busy time in the bamboo forest has also disappeared, and most of the residents in the bamboo forest have become people who stay at home. However, the most important point is that the people living in this bamboo forest are themselves secluded worldly masters or fugitives who have escaped responsibility, and they themselves do not appear too conspicuously in the crowd. So this bamboo forest is extraordinarily peaceful.

Feng Yuchong walked back all the way, and everything in the bamboo forest still made him extremely familiar. Not long after, Feng Yuchong had already seen the thatched hut he had lived in since he was a child not far from him. It stands to reason that this feeling of not returning to his hometown for many years should be very joyful. But now, Feng Yuchong, who has returned here, is more deeply heavy in his heart. Because in this thatched hut, he saw the two grasshoppers that Gao Hanyue grabbed for Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, who were still young at the time, and were still jumping in the thatched hut. Other than that, everything in the hut had not changed in the slightest as it had been when they had left, and everything was still as dusty as it had been, except for a slight speck of dust.

After Feng Yuchong released the two grasshoppers, the door that was originally open closed and carefully picked up an old rag that was placed on the table. Silently cleaned the thatched hut inside and out. When the sun set, Feng Yuchong found that the two grasshoppers he had just released had returned to the two chic small bamboo cages he and his sister Feng Shanshan had made together, obviously full of food and drink and ready to come back to rest. Feng Yuchong could think that most of the two grasshoppers were used to this kind of life, and this kind of life was the best for them.

These two grasshoppers were the most cherished things of Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan at that time. The two grasshoppers, which were still bouncing now, had begun to rest. His legs and wings had stopped moving, Feng Yuchong used the flint and steel in his arms to light the fire candle placed there at the end of the table, he sat silently at the table, staring at the sky in the distance that was gradually becoming foggy, and his heart became clear again and again.

In the end, when Feng Yuchong returned to this place, he could no longer hide the surging sadness in his heart, and Feng Yuchong, who had never shed tears, shed his saddest and symbolized his sadness and grievances over the years.

"Sister Yue, I swear to protect you, I will never let you suffer any more harm! I don't know what the future holds, but I just want to break through like this!" With tears in his eyes, Feng Yuchong, who was sitting in the chair, couldn't help but clench his fists, and said his promise with a very solemn face.

After saying this, Feng Yuchong slowly got up and looked at the two grasshoppers that had now stopped beating, Feng Yuchong's heart slowly rippled with a deep smile, and he walked out of the grass house. The gate of the thatched hut was slowly and gently closed, and he walked briskly towards the center of this bamboo forest, the beautiful peach blossom forest. Feng Yuchong grew up here and lived in this bamboo forest for more than ten years, and he has a deep attachment to this bamboo forest. In less than a quarter of an hour, he stepped on the streamer of the setting sun, and came to the peach blossom forest soaked in blood by the sunset. There is no change here, and the mother-in-law who used to live in the bamboo forest and occasionally interact with them is now gone.

In the peach blossom forest, the house made of bamboo houses still stood there, and Feng Yuchong walked briskly and slowly pushed the door of the bamboo house open. There was a deep smile on his face, this was his hometown, his attachment, and where it all began.

Stroking the old yellowed bamboo under his feet, Feng Yuchong's heart once again passed through a burst of intense sadness. In his heart, he remembered the jokes that Gao Hanyue had made with him back then. At that time, Feng Yuchong was only nine years old, and Gao Hanyue was thirteen years old that year, just when love first blossomed. Gao Hanyue once joked with Feng Yuchong, saying: "I don't know how long it took the master and the master to build this bamboo house, look at this bamboo one by one, it is actually a testimony of their love!" Feng Yuchong was still in a state of ignorance back then, but now, when he thought of this, he couldn't sit still anymore. He rushed out of the door, and under the third peach blossom tree planted around, Feng Yuchong saw a simple spirit card of his sister Feng Shanshan here, with four unique small characters written on it: "Aunt rest in peace".

Feng Yuchong fell to his knees and kowtowed three times in tears in the place where Gao Hanyue's mother rested. He raised his head to the sky and shouted, tears streaming out of his eyes. He swore deeply: "I want to take care of Sister Yue, whether she is Gao Hanyue or Xia Liuli, I will make her think of me again! Happy, happy to think of me! I Feng Yuchong will do what I say! If not, I would rather lose my memory and not live in such a world."
