Chapter 20: The Heart Knot
It's been three years. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the past three years, in order to cultivate monkeys, Mu Feng has stayed in Fangcun Mountain, and has never even returned to the original plane.
Now, the monkey can become a master, and Mu Feng, who has not returned for three years, is ready to return to the earth to have a look.
Although there are not many worries on the earth anymore, although the parents on the earth do not see each other once in a few years, there is almost no difference from nothing except for the regular monthly living expenses.
But I stayed in the Journey to the West for three years, and I don't know how far away the earth was.
Perhaps, they have long since found out that they are missing.
Perhaps, they are going crazy all over the world looking for themselves.
Of course, it is possible that even if they disappear for a long time, they will not find out about their disappearance.
After all, in Mu Feng's memory, the existence of his parents, since he can remember, is only a regular monthly living expenses.
It's just that, no matter what, in Mu Feng's heart, he still holds a glimmer of hope.
Although he has cultivated to the realm of immortals, after all, he has lived as a mortal for more than 20 years, how can he say that the feelings of mortals are parted with?
In the past three years, he deliberately didn't think about those things, deliberately avoided everything on earth, but he was afraid to face the results of his own speculation.
He didn't dare to face it, he was afraid that after returning to Earth, everything would be the way it was, and his parents, except for the monthly living expenses, did not care about him in the slightest.
That would make him feel like his existence was too much of a failure.
It's just that now, he finally can't avoid it anymore. The monkey has already come out of school, and it is difficult for him to find a reason to return to Earth without having time to return to Earth.
And now, it's time to go back to Earth and ask for a result.
What are they busy with? Did they ever care about his son?
Is his existence, for them, a relative, or just a nominal liability?
This time, he had to ask everything clearly, otherwise, for a long time, this matter would definitely turn into a demon in his heart, making him stop under the Golden Immortal Realm for the rest of his life.
After making this decision, Mu Feng took a deep breath and summoned the monkey.
"Master, what are you looking for my grandson?" After three years of contact, the monkey is no longer so in awe of the herding wind on the surface.
Of course, it's not that he doesn't respect Mu Feng anymore, on the contrary, his gratitude and respect for Mu Feng have increased over time, but now, these have been put in his heart and will not be easily expressed.
"Wukong, you have been worshipping me as a teacher for more than three years." Looking at Sun Wukong, who had changed from an ordinary monkey to a golden immortal in front of him, Mu Feng asked softly.
"Three years and eight months, my grandson has been apprenticed for three years and seven months. Thanks to Master's cultivation, there is today's grandson. Hearing Mu Feng's question, the monkey was a little confused, but he still replied obediently.
"Yes, it's been three years and eight months since then, and there is really no time for cultivation! The scene of your apprenticeship seems to be yesterday. Hearing the monkey's answer, Mu Feng said with some embarrassment.
Hearing this, the monkey didn't understand what Mu Feng meant, scratched his head and said, "Cultivation really has no time, more than three years is a long time for mortals, but for us cultivators, it's just a retreat, a practice. It's just that why does Master have these feelings? You have long lived with the sky and coexisted with the Tao! ”
By now, the monkey is no longer the original Xiaobai, although he doesn't know that Mu Feng is beyond the way of heaven, but he has also guessed a rough idea.
"Hehe, in just three years, from an ordinary monkey to a golden immortal, it is only half a step away from the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm. Speaking of which, Wukong, your talent is really shocking. Now, you can be considered an art master, tomorrow, you will go back! After chatting a few words, thinking of the possible encounters after returning to Earth, Mu Feng had no interest in talking about it anymore and went straight to the point.
Hearing Mu Feng's words, the monkey was shocked and hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Master, did my grandson do something wrong?" If a disciple does something wrong, you can beat me and scold me, but don't drive me away! ”
"Silly monkey, you didn't do anything wrong, you just have something to do for the teacher." Looking at the monkey who was shocked and kept bowing to him, Mu Feng was also very moved.
Hearing Mu Feng say that it was not because he made a mistake, the monkey was a little relieved, but he still knelt on the ground and did not get up.
"Master, you are as kind to your disciple as a mountain, and your disciple has not repaid half a point. Although the disciple knows that you don't need the disciple to repay anything, no matter where you go, please bring the disciple with you. Let the disciple follow you to serve tea and water, and take care of some trivial matters for you! "After living together for three years, the monkey was full of reluctance when he heard that Mu Feng was leaving.
"Alas, there is no feast in the world, and I don't want to drive you away, but you have been away from Huaguo Mountain for more than ten years, don't you miss your monkey grandchildren in Huaguo Mountain? As a teacher, I just went to do some chores, and I will be back soon. You go back to your Huaguo Mountain first, and after you finish your work, I will look for you again as a teacher. ”
Looking at the monkeys full of begging, Mu Feng was also a little unbearable. It's just that I know the earth, so I can't go back with him.
If you really want to bring back a Monkey King, then the people on the earth will not be crazy if they know it.
"This ......" Hearing Mu Feng's words, the monkey also felt that he missed the monkey monkey grandson of Huaguo Mountain, and Mu Feng said resolutely, he no longer resisted in his heart, "Okay, then my old grandson will go back to Huaguo Mountain first and wait for the master." Master, you must go to Huaguo Mountain to find my grandson when you finish your errands! ”
"Hmm!" Mu Feng nodded, didn't say anything more, and disappeared on Fangcun Mountain with one step.
Bodhi, he had already informed that after saying goodbye to the monkey, Mu Feng, who had no worries, left Fangcun Mountain in one step, and after finding a no-man's land, he returned directly to the earth.
Earth, the bedroom of the shepherd.
In the originally empty room, a wave of spatial fluctuations appeared, revealing the figure of Mu Feng.
After returning to Earth, he looked at his room, and found that there was not much dust in the room. There is only a shallow layer.
I don't know if it's because people are constantly disturbing, or if I haven't been away for long.
When I opened the drawer, I found that the phone I had put there before I left was still lying quietly inside, but there was no power at this time.
A miniature thunderbolt improved charging technique was used, and the phone's battery was instantly full.
After turning on the machine, Mu Feng found that after three years and eight months in the Westward Journey World, more than 40 days had only passed on the earth.
In this way, one day on the earth is almost equivalent to a month in the Journey to the West.
After finding that the time had not passed too long, Mu Feng flipped through his mobile phone and found that there were only one or two missed calls, which were still from his former classmates in the past two days.
As for the parents, they didn't even send a single message.
Oh no, except for last month's living expense transfer record!
"Alas! Am I so dispensable in your hearts? Looking at the photo of his parents on the table, Mu Feng felt a faint pain in his heart.
If you are someone else, you have been missing for more than 40 days, I am afraid that the missing person notice has spread throughout most of China, right?
Suppressing the gloom in his heart, Mu Feng decided to leave for the United States tomorrow to find news of his parents.
In any case, some knots must be clarified, and some things will eventually be settled!
After making the decision to leave tomorrow to find his parents, Mu Feng took his mobile phone and flipped through it again.
Just then, a phone call came in.
Looking at the call prompt, Mu Feng searched for this person in his mind, and it seemed that he was the class president in college.
After thinking about it, Mu Feng answered the phone.
"Hello? Pastoral style? The phone was connected, and a crisp female voice came from the other side.
"Well, it's me." Mu Feng responded.
"Ah, I finally got through, I thought you had changed your number, I haven't been able to contact you for two days in a row, our young master Mu is really difficult to contact!" Hearing that Mu Feng should be, the other side seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and teased Mu Feng over the phone.
Listening to the words on the other side, Mu Feng frowned, he was not in the mood to be funny with people now, and after interrupting the other side's complaints, Mu Feng asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”
"Oh, I said Mu Feng, do you know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, Miss Ben doesn't say that she is as beautiful as a flower, but at least she is not an ugly monster who avoids snakes and scorpions, are you so impatient to say a few more words to you?" His words were interrupted by Mu Feng, and the female voice opposite couldn't help but complain.
"I still have some things to do, so I'll hang up if I don't have anything to do." In my memory, this squad leader is a good person and sociable, and he can talk to many people, but Mu Feng doesn't remember that he has any deep friendship with the other party.
"Alas, you man!" The other side complained again, and when he heard that Mu Feng didn't respond, he seemed to be afraid that he would hang up the phone, and hurriedly said, "Okay, let's get down to business." There's a class reunion tonight, do you have time to come? ”
"I still have something to do, so I'm not going." Hearing that this was the case, Mu Feng refused without thinking about it.
Not to mention his current state of mind, not to mention that he is not in a good mood now, even if it is his previous self, he will not have much interest in participating in this kind of thing.
"Don't you want to be busy refusing it, listen to me!" Hearing Mu Feng's refusal, the girl opposite didn't seem surprised, and paused and said, "This party was initiated by Lin Wanqing and a few of us together, she went back, and let us invite you to go there." ”
Hearing the other party's words, Mu Feng was silent.
Lin Wanqing, this name is very familiar to him. When he was in college, there was a time when he was very fond of this girl.
He was quiet, indifferent, and didn't seem to put anything in her heart. That kind of dusty temperament, even the loneliness of the pastoral style can't help but be attracted by it.
It's just that although Mu Feng once pursued, the relationship between the two could only stop at good friends in the end, and every time the other party looked at him, Mu Feng felt like people from two worlds.
Now, the other party would deliberately invite him, and after thinking about it, Mu Feng decided to go and have a look.
"Time, place." Facing the phone, Mu Feng asked.
Hearing this, the other side grinned, reported a time and place, and hung up the phone after laughing a few more words.
After hanging up the phone, Mu Feng didn't stay in the room for long, walked out of his residence, and walked aimlessly on the street alone.
After three years, standing in the bustling city again, Mu Feng found that he seemed to have some estrangement from the world.
He walked quietly, aimlessly, as if in this way he was performing a kind of farewell ceremony.
Time, in this aimless wandering, arrived at eight o'clock in the evening.
At this time, Mu Feng happened to walk in front of a splendid hotel.
This is the place where this meeting will be.
In front of the door, Mu Feng met the squad leader who had been on the phone before, the girl was very enthusiastic after seeing Mu Feng, and welcomed Mu Feng all the way into the hotel.
At this moment, there was only one thought in his heart, Lin Wanqing specially invited himself, what was it for?
This question did not bother Mu Feng for too long.
As soon as he walked into the box and saw Lin Wanqing, he found the answer.
At this time, next to the girl, there was a strange man sitting, the man was smiling and saying something to Lin Wanqing, and Lin Wanqing nodded from time to time and responded indifferently.
This is, found a boyfriend, to demonstrate to himself, or ...... Warning?
This thought flashed through him, and was quickly denied by Mu Feng.
The girl in his memory shouldn't have done such a thing, so why did she look for herself?
Soon, Mu Feng got the answer, and after seeing Mu Feng, the girl came up with the man.
From beginning to end, neither of them was the slightest domineering, nor did they show off or ridicule at all. From beginning to end, both of them behaved very decently, it seems that their appearance is just to tell Mu Feng, you are good, but we are not people of the same world. Now, I have found my other half, and I hope you can forget me and find your happiness!
In this regard, Mu Feng smiled indifferently.
Let's not say that he didn't have the idea of talking about feelings at this time, even if he had, the person he once liked was just once.
There was nothing to pretend to be a slap in the face at this party, and some people's showing off was naturally inevitable, but it didn't burn to Mu Feng's body.
It's just that, despite this, Mu Feng doesn't feel that this time is a waste of time.
Because, he noticed that the first time he saw him, the man brought by Lin Wanqing had a moment of sluggishness and stunned on his face, although this trace of consternation was well concealed by him, but he still couldn't escape Mu Feng's eyes.
