Chapter 355: The Past
The raven was stunned.
After a while, he realized that Luo Piaoling's words were not directed at him.
It's Cifeng.
The raven turned his head and found that Ci Feng had become the only focus of the audience.
Although the middle-aged man had a long beard and slightly wrinkled at the corners of his eyes, he was only forty years old, and he was still in the prime of life.
However, he struggled to get up from his chair and looked like an old man.
Ci Feng's eyes were helpless, his face was bitter, his lips and teeth trembled slightly, and he didn't know where to start.
Why?
This is a question that Luo Piaoling not only wants to ask, but also Weiwei and Ruan Gu.
Vivi couldn't stop crying.
Ruan Gu's face turned pale, biting his lower lip tightly, and he was almost about to see blood!
"No, Uncle Ci, how can you be a traitor? You haven't left us ten paces away all the way, how can you have a chance to contact the Cardinal Sect?!"
Ruan Gu could not accept and did not believe in Ci Feng's betrayal.
He was roaring, but the weeping and trembling voice was hard to hear unless you listened closely.
Uncle Tzu.
Yes, Ci Feng is not only there in terms of age and seniority, but his relationship with Ruan Gu, Wei Wei, and Luo Piaoling is not ordinary.
Shi Xin likes to make friends with people in the rivers and lakes, so he got acquainted with Long Yao.
But before this, Cifeng was already a good member of Shi Xin's account.
As for Long Yao's acceptance of apprentices, it is even more later.
Therefore, in terms of time, Cifeng is an old qualification of Shifu.
Old qualifications mean that Shi Xin has won his trust.
Otherwise, Shi Xin would not have brought him back to Shifu after he returned to the field.
What is the relationship between Ci Feng and Long Yao?
Long Yao, an all-rounder in martial arts, is proficient in all eighteen martial arts.
There were five disciples sitting down, but none of them were able to learn all their martial arts.
Ci Feng, swords, guns and sticks are all fine.
There is no one in the army who can compare with the martial arts.
Things are gathered by like, and people are grouped.
The two of them are both from the rivers and lakes, and they are tired of studying all kinds of martial arts.
Although in terms of fame, the two are different from each other, but this does not prevent them from talking about everything because of their similar interests, becoming confidants in martial arts, and often learning from each other.
As a disciple of Long Yao, there is no shortage of opportunities to ask Ci Feng for advice.
Cifeng never hides his selfishness, knows everything, and teaches everything.
Their cordiality with Ci Feng is naturally self-evident, and it is natural to call them "Uncle Ci".
If you think about it carefully, it is not an exaggeration to call him "uncle".
This time, Ruan Gu and Wei Wei came all the way to the west, because they traveled in the mountains and rivers, and rarely lived, so they were inseparable.
And Ruan Gu and Wei Wei are not young children in the rivers and lakes, and they have never seen half of the red-clothed sect along the way, who does Ci Feng want to contact?
After arriving at the Kunlun Sect, they had already joined Luo Piaoling, and it was more difficult to collude with the Cardinal Sect under Luo Piaoling's nose than to ascend to the sky.
In love, Cifeng has a deep friendship with at least two generations of them.
Whether Luo Piaoling is the late Long Yao's first disciple or as a survivor of Shifu, Ci Feng should not betray him.
Yu Li is the motive and purpose of Cifeng's betrayal of Luo Piaoling.
The motive is the cause, and the purpose is the effect.
Ci Feng would never betray Luo Piaoling for no reason, and it was not surprising that the Cardinal Sect instructed him to do so, but what was his motive?
Why did he join the Cardinals?
When did he come into contact with the Cardinals?
From Tingyu Pavilion in Jiangning County to the Kunlun faction in Kunlun Mountain, the only thing that will be variable is this westward journey, but looking at the attitudes of Ruan Gu and Weiwei, they seem to believe that this opportunity does not exist.
Objective.
If Ci Feng really wants to betray Luo Piaoling and betray Shifu, what benefits can he get?
What benefits does Cifeng want?
This is exactly what Luo Piaoling couldn't think of and couldn't figure out.
Ci Feng is no longer young, and there will be no situation where young people are impulsive.
Cifeng doesn't have any desire for fame and fortune, otherwise, with his ability, he can go elsewhere at any time and show his ambitions, so why do he have to go to the rain with Tingyu Pavilion?
Xue Qinghuan took a sip of tea, smacked her lips, and stopped talking.
He originally wanted to remind Ruan Gu that as long as Ci Feng had a heart of betrayal, it would not be difficult to convey information secretly without alarming the two of them with his means.
But when you think about it, if you haven't said hello in advance, it's not easy to think about it if you have to calculate Luo Piaoling with just a simple text exchange.
Xue Qinghuan soon realized a key question, that is, what is Cifeng's identity?
This identity should be particularly closely related to its motives.
It doesn't seem to be long before the answer will be revealed.
"Xiao Ruan, it's Uncle Ci who is incompetent and has failed to protect you. Ci Feng could only tilt his head towards Ruan Gu and smile bitterly.
Only when facing Ruan Gu or Weiwei will the apologies in his heart not be so deep.
Everyone had already heard the meaning of Ci Feng's words, but Ruan Gu was still insisting, he blushed and shouted: "No, Uncle Ci, aren't my little sister and I standing here intact? ”
Luo Piaoling was silent, his eyes seemed to be red with the smell of wine, staring at Ci Feng, eager to see his heart clearly through that skin.
The past years are vivid, and all he can see is Cifeng's appearance full of love and care.
It was said that there must be a shadow under the sun, but he could not see where the shadow was hiding.
Seeing this, Ci Feng sighed lightly and said, "Xiao Ruan, Xiao Wei, along the way, did you two say that you sleep very well at night, and you wake up every day to be particularly energetic?"
"Yes...... Yes, Uncle Ci also said that the current environment is too depressing for our mood, so let's relax and relax in the mountains and rivers, and we can ......."
When Wei Wei heard this, she held back her tears and responded, but before she finished speaking, she had already woken up and burst into tears again.
"Mo Fei, Mo Fei......" Ruan Gu's eyes widened, obviously in disbelief.
Ci Feng said: "It was I who applied a small amount of drowsiness to you, you will not completely fall asleep, but you will fall asleep early every day, and you will not be woken up easily, so I will take this opportunity to leave." ”
"Why?" Ruan Gu's eyes had become sour, but he still forcibly opened them, he was afraid that once his eyes were closed and opened, Uncle Ci would no longer be Uncle Ci.
"I'm from Dongying. This time, Cifeng had mustered up the courage to face Luo Piaoling head-on.
As soon as these words came out, the hall was in an uproar.
If it weren't for Ci Feng's bad situation now, everyone must have picked up the guy and used his fists and kicks against Ci Feng.
There are not many young people here, which means that almost all of them have experienced the Zhongzhou Catastrophe 20 years ago.
And one of the leaders of that catastrophe was the projectile gang in the sea east of Zhongzhou.
For the bloodthirsty and unscrupulous behavior of the Dongying people, killing their compatriots and occupying their homeland, no one does not hate them.
Even though nearly 17 years have passed since Dongying's defeat, Dongying has once again bowed down to Zhongzhou, but many people still grit their teeth when they mention Dongying people, and their hatred is hard to quench.
Ci Feng's answer was beyond everyone's expectations.
Naturally, everyone also includes Luo Piaoling.
And this sentence was like an arrow that pierced into Luo Piaoling's heart.
He thought that after more than two years of dormancy, he had enough precipitation to control the context of everything.
As everyone knows, I still look down on myself, and I forget that the most ungraspable thing is the human heart.
Cifeng is a native of Dongying, so he infiltrated Shifu to be used by Dongying one day, which is really understandable.
If it weren't for Ci Feng himself to say it, who would have known that there would be such a layer of secrecy?
"Oh, what is the relationship between the Dongying people, the Cardinal Sect, and the two?" Xue Qinghuan raised a question in the hearts of many people.
Yu Le explained: "The Red-clothed Sect originally relied on rivers, lakes and seas to start, and decades ago, they were the maritime overlords of the people, and the imperial court also took a detour when they encountered it. Dongying is surrounded by the sea on all sides, as long as the people of Dongying want to make a living from the sea, or want to look outside, they naturally have to deal with the Cardinal Sect. ”
Xue Qinghuan said: "In this way, will there be a Dongying person in charge of the Red Cloth Sect?"
Yu Le said: "Lord Xue Pavilion, this is a joke, as early as hundreds of thousands of years ago, how could there be any Dongying people? In the final analysis, they are just the last branch of the side line in the vast Zhongzhou that is less popular and less popular. ”
Xue Qinghuan said: "What Yu Gongzi taught me is that Xue is short-sighted. ”
Yu Le said: "However, I am curious, how did Brother Cifeng infiltrate the Shifu as a native of Dongying?
Ci Feng said: "This matter is a long story. ”
Yu Le said: "Then it will be concise and to the point, long story short." ”
Although Ci Feng didn't want to see Yu Le, he still decided to tell the truth.
This will at least make Luo Piaoling feel better.
"Before I was ten years old, I lived with my mother in my hometown.
I never met my father, only my mother said that he was a true samurai in a hundred.
My hometown is beautiful.
Hundreds of miles of saffron, thousands of miles of ice, those scenes, I have only seen in my hometown.
But my hometown is not suitable for survival.
The land of safflower is too damp and unsuitable for farming.
There are only autumn and winter all year round.
Every year, the bitter cold of winter worsens, so that more people freeze to death every year.
And then there's the tsunami.
Perhaps because of the topography, every two or three years, there will always be a big tremor in the ground under our feet.
This was followed by an overwhelming tsunami.
Thyme saffron is not afraid of tsunamis, and even more, the tsunami helps them survive the fittest, making them more beautiful the longer they grow.
But people are different, when the tsunami comes, we have nowhere to hide, and we can almost only face death.
We had to move every year or two, but death was inevitable.
After a lot of migration, we moved into a village.
That village is more prosperous than our original small village.
They have more smiles on their faces.
From them, we know that on the other side of the sea, there is a land of abundance.
We can get a lot of gold and silver wealth there, and then build a big ship and bring back good things.
You can also take your family to live on the other side of the river.
My mother and I, along with many people from the same village, chose to go that way.
Who knew that we seemed to be born with a curse of fate, and when the sky should have been clear, a week after we set sail, there were dark clouds and a torrential rain.
And the last thing we want to see, the tsunami......"
