Chapter 17: With Me
Long Yunzhou stretched his waist, and after waking up, he felt extremely happy. The soreness and weakness of the meridians caused by the stimulation of potential yesterday had disappeared, and the pure spiritual power and true qi in his body made his meridians quickly return to normal.
As for why he vomited and suddenly erupted with that terrifying power yesterday, Long Yunzhou himself didn't know. It wasn't a state of bursting blood, and if it was, he wouldn't be so clear-headed, and his strength would be stronger.
He thought of Emperor Long Qing, but no matter how much he looked for it in the sea of knowledge, he couldn't find that man. He seemed to be deliberately avoiding himself, since he entered the Phantom Dust Cave, he hadn't seen Emperor Long Qing in the Sea of Consciousness for several years.
Long Yunzhou was a little nostalgic for that unruly man, he could at least give him some guidance when he was there, but now he was hiding, and there were countless questions in his heart that no one answered.
Liu Qing invited them to the City Lord's Mansion to rest, but they decided to stay in the Xuanwu Hall. Liu Qing had no choice but to agree, and sent many soldiers from the City Lord's Mansion to escort him.
Last night was an earth-shattering battle, and the entire Wuling City was shrouded in the duel between the two masters.
The soldiers guarding outside the Xuanwu Hall collapsed almost instantly, and when they woke up, they found that it was already dawn. They didn't know that they had actually walked through the ghost gate, but fortunately Mei Ruoyu was not a murderous demon king, otherwise the ghost dragon would have released not a blind eye, but poisonous smoke.
Duan Fei woke up in a daze, he didn't know what happened last night. But after entering the Xuanwu Hall, he saw the peach forest that had become a ruin, and Liu Qing's respectful attitude towards Lingyun's master and apprentice, and intuitively knew that something big had happened yesterday.
He served Ling Yun and Long Yunzhou like a grandson, for fear that if these two masters were dissatisfied with anything, Liu Qing's glittering big knife would cut off his head.
In fact, he kept hoping that Long Yunzhou and Lingyun, the two plague gods, would leave the Xuanwu Hall as soon as possible, and in the future, the Xuanwu Hall would be so poor that he could ask for food, but he would not be implicated in other affairs.
The entire Xuanwu Hall had a worried heart, not knowing when the large number of guards from the City Lord's Mansion would be able to leave the gate, nor what their future fate would be.
It's like having a knife hanging over your head all the time, and everyone is extremely nervous before it doesn't make any movement. As for why the peach forest was destroyed, or where Duan Cheng went, no one cared about it for a long time.
Long Yunzhou pushed open the door, and immediately a young man with a smile on his face came over, and looked at his excited appearance and wanted to stick to Long Yunzhou.
Suddenly someone popped up and scared Long Yunzhou, and when he looked at it, Long Yunzhou knew this guy.
It was the eldest of the group of young people who commanded Duan Xing when they first arrived in Xuanwu Hall, and he was also the guy who later went to complain to the patriarch to get rid of Duan Cheng's father and son.
Long Yunzhou didn't have a good impression of him, and looked at him with some disgust: "What are you doing, master, I don't owe you anything, don't keep staring at me." ”
The young man's eyes were almost like crescents of laughter, and his face was almost piled together. He hunched his waist and nodded respectfully: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the villain doesn't know Mount Tai with his eyes, and he used to be rude, so I hope the son will bear with me." ”
Bear with your sister, Long Yunzhou looked at the smiling young man, and said in his heart that you didn't scold me, and you didn't hit me, so you squinted my eyes a few times. Am I that stingy?
However, raising his hand and not hitting people with smiling faces, Long Yunzhou has always been not so mean to people, and when he saw this, he had to say without smiling: "Forget it, you will be better to Duan Xing in the future." They are all brothers of the same family, do they have so much hatred?".
The young man only promised, but his heart was anxious. Thinking that that unlucky guy Duan Xing actually climbed such a powerful character, there were many places that offended him in the past, and it seemed that it would be difficult to mix in Xuanwu Hall in the future. He had to think of a way to make Duan Xing change his opinion of himself, so that if Xuanwu Hall improved in the future, he would be able to follow suit.
The young man here had complicated calculations in his heart, but Long Yunzhou thought of Duan Xing. His father died last night to save himself, and he doesn't know what happened to Duan Xing now! It is said that it should not be a big deal if he is just unconscious, but Long Yunzhou's heart is always heavy.
"Hey......... Well, I don't know what to call it?" Long Yunzhou wanted to slap this young man, but when the words came to his mouth, those stinging words still didn't come out.
When the young man saw Long Yunzhou asking him, he immediately leaned over with a face. Long Yunzhou hurriedly stepped back, seeing that his saliva was about to flow out, almost like a pug.
"Childe, my name is Duan Yong, you can just call me Xiao Yongzi, the old people in the family call me that!" Duan Yong salivated, his face full of flattery.
Long Yunzhou's heart was tired for a while, although everyone likes to be held, but there is really such a second goods in front of him to compliment himself, he really can't be interested.
"That, Brother Duan, can you take me to see Duan Xing? I don't know how he was injured last night, I want to visit him. Xiao Yongzi Long Yunzhou still didn't call out, so he could only be called Brother Duan.
Duan Yong's heart was surging like a surge, and he suddenly felt that he was superior. Such a big and powerful character calls himself a brother, and it seems that he can also shout brother when he sees the city lord in the future, because the city lord is respectful to the person in front of him.
He was too self-conscious and didn't think about it at all, maybe this was Long Yunzhou's approachable Corporal Lixian, but if he really dared to call Brother Liu Qing, it was estimated that his head would not be saved.
"My brother Duan Xing, I have known that he has a future since he came out of his life, and he will definitely be the same as my third uncle, and he will be a great alchemist in the future. The future of our Xuanwu Hall is counting on him, and I used to be a little harsh on him because of the mentality that good steel needs to be sharpened, but now it seems that he has really grown up and is promising........."
Duan Yong's constant nagging along the way brought him and Duan Xing a lot closer, and even said in the middle that Duan Cheng once wanted to accept him as a beginner disciple, but he gave up in the end because of family rules. When he talked about this, he still looked quite regretful.
Long Yunzhou felt that he was about to vomit, seeing that his appearance was not much older than Duan Xing, he was actually embarrassed to say that he had watched others grow up. Yesterday you were thinking about sweeping people out of the house and breaking your hands. Don't pretend to be a brother so quickly, you're really a master of acting.
Long Yunzhou was no longer able to complain, he really wanted to find something to seal Duan Yong's mouth, lest he say something that would make people vomit.
But Duan Yong seems to have been addicted, or he is too involved in his own plot. Unexpectedly, there were tears, a handful of snot and a handful of tears. Long Yunzhou had no choice but to cover his ears with his true qi, just looking at Duan Yong acting like a self-talking pantomime, it was not a lot of fun.
"When I arrived, my Duan Xing brother was in front. Duan Xing pointed to a desolate clearing in front of him, and said with a very desolate expression.
Long Yunzhou didn't hear what Duan Yong said, but he had already seen Duan Xing kneeling in front of the thatched hermitage. He was like a lonely stake, blending in with a ruin, lonely, with only the bleak wind for his company.
Long Yunzhou untied the true qi that sealed his ears and asked Duan Yong softly, "How long has he been here?"
"My brother has been kneeling here since he woke up and heard the news that the third uncle had gone, and it has been about three hours. Duan Yong sighed for a long time, and tears couldn't help but flow, as if his own father had died.
Long Yunzhou didn't bother to pay attention to this second cargo, and walked towards Duan Xing lightly.
Duan Xing's back in the wind is very thin, he is like a tombstone in front of the ruins of the thatched hermitage, and only he still remembers everything about his father who has depended on him for sixteen years.
Long Yunzhou's hand lightly pressed on Duan Xing's shoulder, Duan Xing's whole body trembled, there was a suppressed grief in his body that made him bury his head deeply, and Long Yunzhou could only hear his whispered crying.
"I'm sorry............." Long Yunzhou didn't know what to say, and he couldn't continue just after saying these three words. He knew that it was too late to say anything, because of himself, Duan Xing had lost his father, and what could he say to make up for the pain in his heart.
Duan Xing raised his head slowly, his cheeks were already full of tears. After years of discrimination by the family, he has long learned to keep his feelings in his heart, even if his father leaves suddenly, he is just a silent cry.
"My father said that he wanted to be a good doctor. Even if he can't refine the elixir, he will still save people. He said he was going to take me far away, where the mountains were full of flowers, and it was beautiful............"
Long Yunzhou couldn't hold back anymore and hugged the boy tightly. The sun is still very bright, but the beautiful peach forest has turned to ashes. Years from now, who will remember that a great alchemist once lived here?
"Come with me!" Long Yunzhou looked at Duan Xing and wiped away the tears on his face: "Although I am not a rich and noble person, nor am I a heroic hero. But I promised your father that he would always be a man of justice. ”
At this moment, Long Yunzhou said as if he had promised: "Your father wants to be a good doctor for the world, and he also wants to protect the justice in his heart." Then you come with me, he must hope that his son is also a man who will always guard justice. ”
Long Yunzhou didn't know why Duan Cheng suddenly rushed out at that time, even if he died, he would stand in front of him.
In Long Yunzhou's memory, the broken body fell apart, but the smiling man only wanted him to protect the justice in his heart.
In fact, that man has always had a righteous heart, right? Just like the peach blossoms in this garden, he will always be so brilliant.
Duan Xing looked at Long Yunzhou intently, as if he saw his father's smile on his face. He already knew everything from the mouths of his people, and he never doubted any of his father's decisions.
Since the father is willing to give his life to this man, then he must be someone who is worth following for the rest of his life.
"I'll go with you. Duan Xing gritted his teeth and said almost viciously: "With you, go and protect the justice in your heart!"
