Chapter 19: Separation of Master and Apprentice

The early morning in Baicao Town is quiet. The sun rises over the horizon, casting golden light on the thatched roofs, medicinal fields, and green trees of Baicao Town...... The sleeping mountain town was also awakened by the cries of chickens, ducks, dogs and pigs in captivity.

I don't know when, a ray of morning light also spilled into the house, and Baili Feng also opened his lazy eyes. He sat up, stretched his arms, and looked at the fresh scene outside the house, as if everything had become better with his mood.

Baili Feng rubbed his eyes, which were still a little hazy, jumped out of bed, washed his face and ran to the front yard.

"Feng'er, get up, hurry up and eat in the back room, and my aunt will bring you porridge in at once." ”

"Feng'er, come in! Zhuang'er has already started eating, and your Aunt Xiuxiang has made your favorite food for the two of you. ”

Seeing Baili Feng coming, Zhao Hu greeted him warmly and hurriedly pulled him into the house.

"You've only been back for one night, and you're going back to the city today. Seeing you two grow up, and seeing that you two are about to leave home, I can't bear it! I can only ask Xiuxiang to cook you something delicious. Alas......"

Zhao Hu was happy, but still a little reluctant. After all, they have been together for ten years and have never come to leave, he has a little worry in his heart, so he just sits there in a daze, watching Bailifeng and the two wolves spitting and eating, and from time to time he shows a little honest smile.

"Uncle Zhao, don't worry. Da Zhuang is to follow the sufferers around the city lord to practice and study, and I also have other arrangements. It's not about suffering, but about putting your heart back in your belly. It's not like we're not going home again. ”

Baili Feng knew the pain of separation, and when he saw Zhao Hu's stunned expression, he naturally saw the reluctance in his heart, and hurriedly said something reassuring.

"Alas, it's still sensible. In the morning, I went to the medicine field and saw that Mr. Liu had also bought the calligraphy, paintings, and pens from the house, and said that he was going to travel far away. The house was empty, and it was desolate at the time. Thinking that you are leaving today, and there will be no two of you in the family in the future, it will be even more unpleasant in my heart......"

Zhao Hu said as his mood lowered. When Baili Feng heard this, he suddenly had a spirit: Is the teacher also leaving? Where to go?

Later, Bailifeng ate a few more mouthfuls of food casually, and then put down the dishes and chopsticks.

"Uncle Zhao, Aunt Xiuxiang, Da Zhuang, your family will have a good gathering at home. I'll go to the teacher's house, and I'll be back later, and then I'll go back to the city with Da Zhuang and the people who are guarding the city. I'm leaving!"

With that, Baili Feng turned around and ran out of the door, running towards Liu Yuan's house at the entrance of the town.

First, the departure of the eldest brother Bailijiang, and then the unknown disappearance of the father, the two close relatives quietly left Bailifeng's side. However, now that he learned that he had been given a calligraphy skill and that the teacher who accompanied him to grow up was also going to travel far away, Baili Feng was anxious to see the only person close to him except Zhao Hu's family.

"Teacher, Teacher......"

Although the Baili Feng people had not arrived, the voice had already shouted out from afar and entered Liu Yuanzhi's ears.

"Xiaofeng, you're back! Come and sit in the house. ”

When Liu Yuanzhi heard this, he also paced out of the house, introducing the Baili Feng, which had just run outside the door and was still panting, into the house.

Baili Feng, who had not been out of breath, walked into the house and immediately held his breath. In an instant, the desolation in front of him seemed to only allow Baili Feng to hear his heartbeat.

The charming, inky calligraphy and paintings that hung on the wooden wall were all gone, and even the two rows of pen holders were empty. Thinking back to the beginning, the room was full of calligraphy and paintings, all kinds of fonts, like dragons and tigers, so many brushes of different sizes and colors swaying and falling on the pen holder. Now, in the empty room, only a wall of cracked planks remained, and a table with only a teapot on it, and a gust of wind blowing from time to time......

"Teacher ......"

Baili Feng's unbearable tears finally came out, and he stepped over and hugged Liu Yuanzhi.

"Good boy, you're suffering!"

One of Liu Yuan's hands stroked Baili Feng's head lying on his chest, and one hand also hugged it tightly into his arms.

"Teacher, the eldest brother is gone, and the father doesn't know where he went, are you going to leave Feng'er now?"

"Xiaofeng, the teacher knows that you are very wronged. However, you have grown up and should learn to face it yourself. The departure of your father and eldest brother is only a test of heaven for you. Learn to grow up on your own! Now that the teacher has taught you the most proud calligraphy skills, you are about to travel far away. Aren't you going to the city too? Besides, would you like the teacher to be alone here?"

Liu Yuanzhi said, still gently patting Baili Feng's back with his hand to show comfort.

"Teacher, Feng'er...... Know. The ...... of the Wind Girl Club It's going to grow up!" As he spoke, Baili Feng also broke free from Liu Yuanzhi's arms, choking and wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes.

"Teacher, I have succeeded in opening my spiritual vein! I still have spiritual veins! However, my father sealed my spiritual veins for my safety. I didn't know it before, but the lord of the city also arranged for me to go to a tavern on the edge of the desert outside the city, saying that I came into contact with all kinds of strong people there. Now I also know the reason why I don't have spiritual power, but I still have to go to the desert outside the city to exercise, and see the talented people, I want to become stronger! Because, my father said, he was chased and killed from that desert ten years ago and escaped!"

Baili Feng regarded Liu Yuanzhi as a relative, and said everything in one go. And Liu Yuanzhi was not as surprised as he expected, but as if he knew everything, he gently grabbed his shoulders with both hands and said with a slight smile:

"It's good to be enlightened. However, you can rest assured that your father should be fine. I saw him rescued that night. ”

After Liu Yuanzhi finished saying this, he muttered in a low voice: "It should be, someone rescued you!"

"In short, Xiaofeng, you listen to your teacher! Don't worry too much about your father, live well, and become strong is the most important thing. ”

"Feng'er understands! That's why I have to go to the desert near the city to see and try to make myself stronger!"

"Pan-ancient desert...... I've been there before. It was a desert full of blood, with friendship and dreams......"

Hearing this, Liu Yuanzhi let go of his hands that were holding Baili Feng's shoulders, turned around to look outside, and looked at the sky in the distance with a distraction.

"Has the teacher been to that place too? Dad also mentioned the Pangu Desert in the letter, what kind of place is it?"

Listening to Liu Yuanzhi's seemingly nothing-for-nothing words, Baili Feng speculated and guessed about the Pangu Great Desert, and asked puzzledly.

"Haha...... Feng'er, that is the largest desert in our Five Elements Continent, accounting for nearly ninety percent of the Five Elements Continent, there are four large domains around it, we are now in the West Decisive Barbarian Domain is the closest to the Pan-Ancient Desert, the Nanhe God Domain and the Northern Mo Domain are adjacent to the West Duel Barbarian Domain, surrounding the Pan-Ancient Desert. As for the Dongzhan Xuan Domain, deep at the end of the Pangu Desert, it was an incredible place. We also call it 'Tianyan Domain'!"

Looking at Liu Yuanzhi's heartfelt boldness, and talking freely about his own pride, Baili Feng also secretly made up his mind that he must go to the Pangu Desert to break through!

......

"Brother Feng, let's go, go back to the city!

Not long after, Bailifeng heard the shouting outside the door and hurriedly ran out of the door.

"Here it is! ”

Seeing this, Baili Feng bowed deeply to Liu Yuanzhi to say goodbye.

"Goodbye, teacher!"

"Go, kid, take care of yourself! I'll see you again!"

Baili Feng waved his hand and turned away, while Liu Yuanzhi was at the door of the house for a long time, and then looked in the direction of the Pangu Desert......
