Chapter 20: Feathering

"So, is it over? I have the strength but I can't do anything for my friend, and I have the blood but I can only watch my friend die. In the end, there is still no escape, self-righteous and insignificant human beings. Zuo Congrong sighed as if laughing at himself.

Three days passed in a blink of an eye, because the demon was too deep, Lan Feng was not able to wake up again in the end, and today, that is, the day Lan Feng was sent to the "Burial Demon Cliff". It stands to reason that Mingzhu and Zuo Congrong have no right to send Lan Feng at all, but under Mingzhu's prayer and Zuo Congwen's relationship, the two still followed Lei Guang and the others to the "Burial Demon Cliff" as they wished.

"Yes!" Mingzhu replied with a nonchalant expression.

"What's wrong with you?" asked Zuo Congrong suspiciously. Because of Lan Feng's relationship with the imperial capital, and the fact that Lan Feng's family was originally a family that guarded the safety of Dongfang Mansion, most of the people here were not familiar with Lan Feng, but despite this, the expressions on people's faces were also full of helplessness and regret. A girl of the same age as a flower, a child with good qualifications, no matter what aspect you consider, can indeed raise people's sympathy. Compared with the negative feelings on everyone's faces, Mingzhu's expression seemed indifferent and cold, as if the girl who was about to be sent to the "Burial Demon Cliff" had nothing to do with her.

"Nothing!"

"What the hell is wrong with you?"

"Nothing!"

"By the way, what did you ask me to help you with yesterday?" Zuo Congrong asked in a low voice. The further he walked up the mountain, the stricter the cold aura of the "Burial Demon Cliff" became, and at the same time, with the strengthening of the aura, Zuo Congrong obviously felt that the abundant magic power at the beginning was sluggish, and the running speed gradually slowed down, I am afraid that if it goes on like this, it will be completely impossible to mobilize the magic power after reaching the top of the mountain. It was also based on this situation that Zuo Congrong remembered what Mingzhu said to him yesterday.

"Just remember. I'll let you know when the time comes, it's not the time yet. I don't know what I'm thinking, even if the person I'm talking to is Zuo Congrong, Mingzhu still hasn't shown more affection.

"I'll do my best, ten strong men, three extreme power people, two godmen, I hope it is not too difficult for you to give me. Zuo Congrong looked at the long queue for the funeral and sighed.

"Don't worry, it's not a big deal. It's easy to do. I'm sorry, Ah Rong, obviously I came to Steel City as a guest, but I didn't fulfill the friendship of the landlord, and I was busy for half a year, I'm sorry. โ€

"I'm sorry? This sentence should be what I said to you, I obviously said that I would make Ah Feng safe, but it turned out to be like this. Sure enough, no one who is related to me will end well. โ€

"It's none of your business. Whether it's Shenwei or Ah Feng, it's already destined for such a day before I met you. If you have to say it, you can only say that fate dictates it. Bringing together a group of people full of misfortunes. ...... It's not bad to be able to meet you at the Second Academy. At the end of his life, Mingzhu said as if he recalled.

"It would be nice to go back to that time......"

"Do you remember that adventure we had on vacation?" Mingzhu asked with a sudden interest.

"Of course, I remember, there is only one time when our 'field investigation club' can really be regarded as a club activity, and we have to run so deep as if we were stupid. It's like I've been stupid again, and I've had to go through so many things. There won't be that kind of time in the future, Ah Feng ......" As he spoke, Zuo Congrong thought of Lan Feng again. Said lonely.

"Do you remember the wish we made back then?"

"Remember, at that time, I didn't write a wish and was despised by you. You wrote 'Be a good head of the house,' right?"

"Oh my shame you remember. Actually, the original intention of my wish was for Ah Feng. โ€

โ€œ๏ผŸ๏ผโ€

"Didn't I sue you, Ah Feng was often bullied by people because of the curse, and then I couldn't stand it anymore and took Ah Feng to the imperial capital. At that time, I made up my mind that after I became the head of the family, I would definitely change Ah Feng's status in the Dongfang family. As a result, this wish has no way to come true, and it is rare to make a wish in such a place full of aura, but in the end, it still can't make people get their wish. Mingzhu explained in a lonely voice.

"Even if you make a wish, you can't make it come true, and now that you think about it, most of the wishes you made at that time have not come true. Zuo Congrong sighed.

Thanks to Lan Feng's accident, everyone's wishes have basically been disappointed. The first is Jamin's wish, "to protect his sister", which is the only wish that is still possible for the "Fielding Society". The second is Shenwei's, "I hope everyone is happy", I'm afraid this wish is doomed to be impossible from the beginning, but I'm afraid it's precisely because it's impossible, Shenwei will take it as a wish, right? The third is Lan Feng's, "Be the eldest lady's bodyguard, protect the eldest lady for a lifetime", and now, should it be considered fulfilled, or not? According to the literal meaning, it should be completed, after all, Lan Feng's life has been completely dedicated to Mingzhu, isn't it, but according to Lan Feng's meaning, how can it be limited to just over twenty years. The fourth one is Mingzhu's, and Fang Mingzhu also said that without Lan Feng, her wish has been shattered. The fifth is Yayue's, "I hope this time will continue forever", that time, long after the Second Academy was invaded, it has been reduced to nothing. The sixth is Ziyuan, "looking for a person", and now it seems that the person she is looking for should be Zuo Congrong, so this is the only wish of the "Field Investigation Society" that has been realized. The success rate of the wish is thirty percent, a bleak figure.

โ–กโ–กโ–ก

"Let's go!" Lan Ting ordered before reaching the "Burial Demon Cliff".

"Burial Demon Cliff", originally a place used by the Thunder Light Mercenary Group to bury the gods, called "Feather Terrace", since being polluted by Lan Xiaoice's curse, this place is convenient to no longer have the previous fairy qi, the place where the birds sing and flowers has become ghostly, not an inch of grass grows, and the black fog under the cliff is completely impossible to see what is there. On the opposite side of the cliff, about three or four hundred meters away from the "Burial Demon Cliff", a more upright mountain peak stands proudly, and the place facing the "Burial Demon Cliff" seems to be artificially excavated, smooth as a mirror, just because it is completely shrouded by the black fog, and at the same time, the mountain is also eroded by the black fog, losing its solemn image.

It may be the relationship between the black fog and the structure of the original mountain. Since reaching the top of the mountain, the breath of all the warriors has been shielded, and at the same time, the ability of one body has been completely frozen, and the ability cannot be used at all.

"Release the 'Burial Demon Boat'!" After Lan Ting gave the order, another elder immediately shouted to the people who carried out the funeral.

Although the "Burial Demon Boat" is called the "Burial Demon Boat", it is not a "boat", to be exact, it is just a hanger that has been erected, and the so-called "boat" is only called so when it is used to extradite Lan Feng. After the elder gave the order, the Lei Guang disciples hung down the chain in an orderly manner, while the children who carried Lan Feng carried Lan Feng to the bottom of the chain. It seems that he is planning to send Lan Feng down with a chain. Indeed, after all, the ability to use is completely unusable on the top of this cliff, and the bottom of the cliff is even more black mist, who knows what danger there will be, not to mention that if you don't have the ability to protect your body, it will easily be eroded by the black fog, which is reasonable.

"Mingzhu, don't you have anything to say to Lan Feng?" After a short time, the shelf supporting Lan Feng was completely hung on the hanging chain. As long as he gave another order, Lan Feng's body would be sent under this mysterious cliff full of black mist, probably considering Mingzhu's feelings, Lan Ting did not give an order immediately. Instead, he turned his head and asked Mingzhu, who looked indifferent on the side.

"No need, so many people are here, Ah Feng doesn't like it very much. "I'm afraid it was stimulated by something, the person who originally cared about Lan Feng the most. At this moment, he showed the most indifferent look. It's no wonder that the friend who grew up with him and has been living together for 26 years left like this. No one can accept it, Mingzhu's abnormal appearance is probably manifested precisely because she instinctively resists the damage caused to her by the strong pain in her heart.

"What about you?" Seeing that Mingzhu was reluctant to say more, Lan Ting asked Zuo Congrong quite kindly.

"I? I...... , can I hug her?" never thought that no one would care about his feelings, people only said that Mingzhu had a deep affection for Lan Feng, but no one had ever cared about how deep feelings Zuo Congrong, who had lived with Lan Feng for more than half a year, had deep feelings for Lan Feng, and now that Lan Ting said it, Zuo Congrong suddenly couldn't hide his inner thoughts, and asked in a tone that was about to cry like Lan Ting.

โ€œ...... , well, it's been hard for you for half a year, thank you!"

......

"Ah Feng, Ah Feng, Ah Feng! I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's me who is incompetent, it's me who is incompetent...... , I can't save you!" After taking Lan Feng's warm body into his arms, Zuo Congrong realized how much affection he had for Lan Feng, and realized that from now on, this girl named Lan Feng would never appear in his world again. Zuo Congrong, who could no longer suppress the pain in his heart, hugged Lan Feng helplessly, screaming and crying heartbreakingly, but as a result, he couldn't do anything......

At this moment, Zuo Congrong is still the number one genius god in that camp, and where is he still the youngest apprentice elder in the history of the Imperial Capital Magic Regiment. It's just a twenty-six-year-old child who is still a minor, and it's just a poor person who can't save his best friend.

"Alright, let's send it away!" Lan Ting sighed and said after a long time. Sending you a thousand miles must be goodbye in the end, although Zuo Congrong's feelings for Lan Feng made her deeply infected, but the funeral ceremony still had to be completed, although cruel, Lan Ting still ordered.

"Okay, when are you going to cry, Ah Feng is leaving, don't let Ah Feng see your most side. "No one will laugh at Zuo Congrong at this time, even if it is a god, there are feelings, even if it is a god, it will be sad, even if it is crying, at this time, people can only admire Zuo Congrong, and no one will stop Zuo Congrong. However, at this time, Mingzhu seemed to be dissatisfied with Zuo Congrong's attitude, and after being very tired of harshly scolding, he dragged Zuo Congrong back to their original position.

"Do you remember what you promised me?" Mingzhu completely ignored Zuo Congrong's current situation, stared closely at the chain slowly below, and asked in a voice so low that only two people could hear it.

"Ah Feng has already been sent away, what else can I do to help you, isn't it all meaningless?" Zuo Congrong said disheartenedly.

"You cheer me up, if this can't be done, I hate you for the rest of my life!" Mingzhu said as hot tears poured down like a flood that burst the embankment, and shouted loudly with a crying voice.

"What's the matter?" Zuo Congrong's heart suddenly trembled, this is the pearl, the pearl who treats Lan Feng as a sister. It's not that she doesn't have feelings, she just can suppress it, wanting to leave the best impression on Lan Feng.

"Give it to me, stop everyone!" Mingzhu looked at the people around him, and said his request to Zuo Congrong in a low voice. Subsequently. At a speed that even Zuo Congrong could not react to, he suddenly turned around and ran, jumped down from the bottom of the cliff, and plunged into the mysterious and lifeless black mist.

"Mingzhu!" Because of Mingzhu's shouting, everyone's eyes were focused on the two of them, so they were naturally clear about Mingzhu's movements, although they didn't stop Mingzhu, but they still had the ability to find Mingzhu in the black fog. Lan Ting shouted, and quickly pounced on the cliff, preparing to pull Mingzhu up with the support of the chain.

The shelves used to extradite the blue maple are made of special materials, as long as they reach a certain position. The shelves will be completely dissolved by the black mist. So at this time, if you drag the chain up, I'm afraid it will be even more inappropriate to rescue Mingzhu. So it can only be saved by chains.

"Bang!"

Without waiting for Lan Ting to reach the chain, Zuo Congrong kicked Lan Ting back with Lan Ting's unguarded whip leg. No matter how Lan Ting is also a woman, it is okay on weekdays, but when she can't use her ability, her weakness is revealed, and she is defenseless, even if she has hundreds of years of actual combat experience, she can't play it.

Don't say it's Lan Ting. I'm afraid that even Zuo Congrong himself won't realize that he would actually stop Lan Ting. Although he wanted to rescue Mingzhu, he instinctively chose to stop Lan Ting. The "I'll hate you for the rest of my life" and the tears that poured down. All tell the poignancy of the pearl.

This is Mingzhu's last wish, and it is absolutely intolerable that someone will destroy it, although reason tells him not to let Mingzhu die. But in her heart, Zuo Congrong hopes that Mingzhu will realize her wish. Rather than making Mingzhu uncomfortable for a lifetime, Zuo Congrong is more willing to let himself bear the pain.

"Imp. What are you doing? Get out of the way!" How could he never have thought that Zuo Congrong would actually stop someone from saving Mingzhu, Zuo Congwen shouted anxiously.

"No, this is Mingzhu's last begging me to do something, and I won't let go. โ€

โ–กโ–กโ–ก

"Ah Feng!"

"Miss?" Presumably because this black mist and Lan Feng had the same attributes, after falling into the darkness at this moment, Lan Feng rarely regained his senses. In the darkness, a familiar voice echoed in Lan Feng's ears, waking Lan Feng awake, and Lan Feng responded with an exclamation.

"Ah Feng!"

"Miss, I'm here!"

"Finally...... I've found you!" In the darkness, Mingzhu followed the source of the voice and hugged Lan Feng in his arms.

"Why are you here, Miss? Lan Feng seemed to know his situation very well, and it was a little difficult to understand Mingzhu's approach, so he asked.

"I'm afraid you'll be lonely here, so I'll stay with you. โ€

"Once you've been here, you can't get out. โ€

"I know, but if it weren't for Ah Feng, it would be even more unbearable. โ€

"What about Ah Rong? The eldest lady likes Ah Rong. โ€

"Regardless of him, he is accompanied by Sister Ziyuan, and Sister Ziyuan will take care of him. Don't you like him too, so we're even. โ€

"What about the eldest lady's wishes?"

"Do you remember that?"

"Ah, I remember all the things about the eldest lady. โ€

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if you can do it or not. Moreover, I don't want Ah Feng's wish to be disappointed. โ€

"What a reckless eldest lady!" Lan Feng's voice seemed to sigh helplessly, but the strength of hugging Mingzhu in his hand was even more aggravated, and two lines of tears flowed silently.

"Reckless...... Well, for the sake of Ah Feng, I am willing. โ€

"I really can't do anything about you, if there is a next life, I will still be the bodyguard of the eldest lady, okay?"

"Do you think you have a choice?"

"Twenty-six years, it's great to be able to spend twenty-six years with the eldest lady, as if there are no regrets left in this life. The eldest lady's arms are so warm. Lan Feng leaned his head on Mingzhu's chest and sighed.

"yes, let's keep leaning on it. โ€

"Hmm!"

โ–กโ–กโ–ก

"Big brother, I beg you, can you let me go, don't interfere with Mingzhu and Ah Feng anymore?" After all, it was just the power of one person, plus Zuo Congrong was originally a magician, although he could indeed stop everyone in a short time, but after a while, Zuo Congrong was taken down by Zuo Congwen. Seeing that Lan Ting and several other extreme ability people had entered the thick black fog, Zuo Congrong begged from Zuo Cong Wenyang.

"Little ghost, this is Lei Guang's housework, it's better for you not to interfere. I know you have a good relationship with them, but have you ever thought that Captain Lan and they went to save that girl's life. As a friend, do you want to watch her die?" Zuo Congwen still stubbornly pressed Zuo Congrong to the ground, not giving Zuo Congrong the slightest chance to resist.

"But...... "Zuo Congrong was about to retort, but from the sky came a solemn and solemn sound of the Great Dao Sanskrit singing, the melodious tune had been heard more than once, and every time it was a voice that appeared when he felt something in his heart.

"What sound?" Zuo Congwen asked suspiciously.

"This time it's ......" Before Zuo Congrong finished speaking, a dazzling golden light shot out from the bottom of the cliff. Then, one after another golden light continued to pierce through the black fog and shoot into the sky. In a short time, the black fog at the bottom of the cliff has been swept away, and even the black fog that has eroded into the mountain on the opposite cliff has been cleared, revealing the three lacquered gold characters of "Feather Terrace".

On the black soil where there was no grass on both sides of the mountain, the soil color gradually faded, and the green grass seemed to have found nutrients. Growing greedily, in just a moment, the "Burial Demon Cliff", which was originally full of cold curse aura, actually exuded vitality, as if the previous tragedies were all fabricated out of thin air.

"It's Ah Feng and Mingzhu! It's Ah Feng and Mingzhu!" Zuo Congrong, who was completely stunned by what was in front of him, suddenly shouted excitedly.

โ€œ......โ€

"That's a miracle, isn't it?" I'm afraid that's what everyone thinks. This era is about to go violent. It is probably ideal to give birth to some miracles, but the three young men, Lan Feng, Oriental Pearl and Zuo Congrong, are always repeating tragedies and comedies for the Thunderlight Mercenary Group. Originally, because of Fan Jiangcheng's interference, he had already given up on clearing the curse of the demon physique. I didn't expect to be able to turn things around at the last minute.

"These two stupid people!" After the excitement, Zuo Congrong finally couldn't suppress his thoughts about the two of them anymore, and lay on the edge of the cliff. While crying, laughing, and scolding.

"The two of them, should it be considered a consummation or a tragedy? At least, if you weren't satisfied, I'm afraid such a miracle wouldn't have been born, right? You can go with peace of mind, and let me bear the pain of losing my friends alone! Two fools who don't know how to understand the feelings of friends!" Zuo Congrong thought in his heart.

โ–กโ–กโ–ก

"Little ghost, where are you going next?" asked Zuo Congwen.

The matter of Lan Feng and Mingzhu finally came to an end. Originally, I am afraid that Dongfang Jia and Lei Guang will not forgive what Zuo Congrong did, but after the "Burial Demon Cliff" has become a "Feather Terrace" again after more than 2,300 years, Zuo Congrong's culpability is not so strict.

"I don't know, let's see. Zuo Congrong sighed and said quietly.

"Why don't you go around Yuncheng with me, my master and your sister-in-law haven't seen you yet. Zuo Congwen invited.

"Forget it, I'm in such a bad mood now, I'm afraid that going will leave a bad impression on Marshal Jon and sister-in-law. I also want to go out for a walk and change my mood. Moreover, now that the guy has grown up, it's time for him to go through the experience. Zuo Congrong glanced at the "stupid cat" who was no longer in Zuo Congrong's arms and said.

"I didn't expect to see it for a few years, and the 'stupid cats' have grown so big. Zuo Congwen said with emotion. Three years ago, when Zuo Congrong had just come out of the forest, he didn't expect that in just three years, the once sunny and lively teenager would actually experience so many ups and downs, looking at Zuo Congrong's increasingly vicissitudes of life, Zuo Congwen suddenly found that he, the eldest brother, had not done anything for Zuo Congrong.

"Yes, I eat crystal nuclei every day, and they grow quickly. โ€

"Will you go back to Second Academy, then?"

"Let's talk about it later, Ah Feng and Mingzhu have just left, I'm afraid I'll miss them when I go back. Don't worry, big brother, I'm also a god, and there are only a few people in the camp who can pose a threat to me, and nothing will happen. Zuo Congrong said with relief.

"Then take care of yourself, tell us more about something, don't hold it all in your heart," Zuo Congwen patted Zuo Congrong's shoulder and instructed.

"Well, don't worry, big brother!" (to be continued......)
