In a small teahouse, it was packed.
It's a summer evening, and the weather is very hot, so many people who have nothing to do will drink tea here to escape the heat.
More importantly, since ancient times, the teahouse has always been the distribution center of news, whether it is in the imperial court, or on the rivers and lakes, the call of the Son of Heaven on the avenue, as small as the parents in the short, will be effectively disseminated here, everyone will chat here after dinner, some people who can speak the Tao, will also boast here, and then in the mouth like a river, feel the audience's envious eyes on themselves, in such a public eye, feel the pride of becoming the focus of ten thousand people.
However, such people, after all, are a minority, after all, not everyone can have all kinds of well-informed information, so most of them are sitting quietly on the sidelines, drinking tea, while listening to these interesting things.
Among the many tea drinkers, there is one that is very extraordinary.
Although he sat quietly in the corner and had no companions, he was still very eye-catching, because this person had sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and at first glance he was a person in the martial arts.
Some good deeds wanted to go over and talk, and from this person's mouth, they got some strange things about martial arts, but this person's cold appearance suddenly made these people retreat.
He just drank tea quietly, with an aura that made people stay away.
In fact, this person is none other than Murong Feng.
In five years, he has become a lot older.
The original Murong Feng had a clear face, but now, there are a few more traces of time in his eyes, and at the same time, he has also grown a beard, which makes the whole person more flavorful of time.
At this moment, he was sipping tea carefully, with a lot of thoughts.
In the past five years, Murong Feng has traveled a lot of places, but he is only doing one thing, and that is to look for Yan'er.
It is said that after coming out of the Zhong family, the sentence of sorry to Wan'er has always remained in his heart, but after all, he has promised Zhong Dushan and Mrs. Zhong to find Yan'er, and his conscience does not allow him to let Yan'er down again, so although he is extremely reluctant to Wan'er, although he is really heartbroken when he looks at Wan'er with tears in her eyes, Murong Feng still relentlessly and said such ruthless words, and at the same time made the same ruthless decision.
Walking out of the gate of the Zhong family, Murong Feng couldn't cry. Although since he was a child, he swore that he must protect Wan'er well, but until now, he still made Wan'er suffer like this, and when he thought of this, Murong Feng felt that he was simply unforgivable.
However, pain is pain, after all, at the moment, he still has more important things, that is, to find Yan'er
So, Murong Feng wiped away his tears, and then looked back at the gate of the Zhong family, since he first came here, he seemed to have an indescribable relationship with this place, and now, even if he left again, it was to come back better.
Murong Feng looked at the two big characters of Zhongfu on the door, and secretly swore in his heart that he would definitely bring Yan'er back.
Then, Murong Feng began to live a life of going to the end of the world, and after walking like this, he walked for five years.
In the past five years, Murong Feng has traveled almost everywhere, but no matter how far he has walked, no matter how many people he has asked, there is no news of Murong Yingxue, and there is no trace of Yan'er.
This Murong Yingxue was like evaporating from the world, and she never appeared again.
Despite this, Murong Feng never gave up, and he always had a belief in his heart that Yan'er must be somewhere, waiting for him, waiting for the person he loves the most to save her.
Therefore, in the past five years, no matter how difficult it has been, no matter how difficult it has been, Murong Feng has still walked down step by step.
However, as time went by, as the situation of the stone sinking into the sea became more and more serious, Murong Feng's heart was more or less uneasy.
It's not that Murong Feng can't endure hardship, and it's not that Murong Feng wants to give up halfway, it's just that in Murong Feng's heart, there is always an insoluble knot.
This knot in my heart is the five-year period.
Although Mei Wanli sealed all the true qi in Yan'er's body back then, this was not once and for all, and such a situation could only last for five years.
At that time, he also swore to Yan'er that he would leave with Yan'er in five years.
However, not only did he not fulfill his promise, but on the contrary, things were developing in an unpredictable direction.
Murong Feng was very worried in his heart, in the past five years, although there was no news of Yan'er, Murong Feng knew that Yan'er must be safe, after all, with Murong Yingxue's hatred for Zhong Dushan, it was impossible for her to put Yan'er to death, besides, Yan'er was still a huge energy bank for Murong Yingxue, so Murong Feng was not so uneasy in the past five years.
However, at this moment, there is an indescribable uneasiness in his heart.
After all, the five-year period is coming soon, in this way, the energy in Yan'er's body will be unsealed, and when the time comes, Murong Yingxue can continue to absorb energy from Yan'er's body, and such a result is exactly what Murong Yingxue is looking forward to, after all, this is the best way to take revenge on Zhong Dushan.
Therefore, when he thought of this, Murong Feng's heart was very uneasy.
Looking at the teacup in his hand, Murong Feng secretly scolded himself in his heart, it was so useless, it had been five years, and he had never found Yan'er.
How can such a self be worthy of Yan'er's infatuation with herself, and how can she be worthy of Zhong Dushan and Mrs. Zhong's high hopes for herself.
Thinking of these things, Murong Feng couldn't help but sigh.
At this time, a person suddenly walked in the teahouse.
This man is strong and strong.
And as soon as he walked in, all the people looked sideways, as if this person was also a character.
"Oh, Brother Liu, you're here" At this time, a person stood up, and then hurriedly asked Xiao Er to add a teacup, and then respectfully gave up his seat.
And the rest of the people also cast their eyes in anticipation, as if this person can bring some different changes to everyone.
Murong Feng couldn't help but glance at this person, he was also very curious, he didn't know who this Brother Liu was.
In other words, this Brother Liu is not a simple person.
Although he has never left a name on the rivers and lakes, this person is still a figure with a head and a face in the local area.
said that he has a head and a face, not because of how strong his martial arts are, nor because of how solid his family property is, but because this Brother Liu has an extraordinary ability.
And this skill is that he has a nickname, known as PHS.
The reason why he is called PHS is because this Brother Liu is very well-informed, and no major or minor affairs on the rivers and lakes can escape his eyes.
It is precisely for this reason that Brother Liu is very popular here.
After all, this is a place where messages come together.
All the people are drinking tea, and they are all here for this strange thing in the martial arts.
Therefore, as soon as Brother Liu came, everyone was looking forward to it.
"Brother Liu, this time, what kind of news is there?" asked a person.
Brother Liu smiled, and then said in a deep voice: "This time, it's big news. ”
"What's the big news?" asked the other impatiently.
"Yes, yes, Brother Liu, what's the big news?"
"Brother Liu, say it quickly. ”
Immediately the crowd boiled.
And at this moment, Murong Feng was still sitting in the corner, and he finally knew why this Brother Liu was so popular.
However, for this kind of thing, Murong Feng has always been uninterested.
First, because he has not been in the rivers and lakes for many years, Murong Feng has long been tired of all kinds of disputes in the rivers and lakes, so he naturally has no interest.
The second reason is that Murong Feng has seen too many so-called well-informed people like this, in fact, what they say in their mouths is also some inconsequential things, most of them are gossip, and Murong Feng has always been a calm person, so Murong Feng didn't pay much attention to such news.
So, Murong Feng planned to continue drinking tea.
However, Brother Liu's words made Murong Feng suddenly shocked.
I saw Brother Liu watching everyone holding the moon and offering himself, and felt a sense of accomplishment, and then he cleared his throat and said in a thoughtful manner: "Have you ever heard of Lingyun Mountain?"
As soon as he heard this person talk about Lingyun Mountain, Murong Feng put down his teacup and listened attentively.
"Where is Lingyun Mountain?" asked one of them.
"You are simply so uninformed, you haven't even heard of Lingyun Mountain. At this time, a man said with disdain.
Then, the person who spoke just now then said to Brother Liu, his tone was full of teasing, "Brother Liu, don't pay attention to him, he doesn't know anything, I know this Lingyun Mountain, isn't there a lotus flower that only blooms once in thirty years?"
"Yes," Brother Liu said, "It's that Lingyun Mountain." ”
"Then do you know?" Brother Liu continued: "On Lingyun Mountain, there is a Zhong family?"
As soon as he heard this person mention the Zhong family, Murong Feng's heart became even more nervous, so he listened to this person more attentively.
"I know this" said a person in the crowd: "The Zhong family used to be one of the three major families of Lingyun Mountain, and later, due to the defeat of the Zhuang family and the Jiang family one after another, the Zhong family became the only big family in Lingyun Mountain."
"Then do you know who the head of the Zhong family is now?" Brother Liu continued to ask.
"Of course I know," said the man just now, "it's that Zhong Dushan." ”
"Brother Liu, I have also heard of this Zhong Dushan Mountain, and it is said that the martial arts are very strong. A man said.
"Yes, I also heard that five years ago, he held a lotus feast, and at that time he saw that the lotus flowers were distributed to the people. Another said.
Everyone is rushing to say something, for fear that in front of everyone, they will appear to be uninformed.
And at this time, a person said: "Also, I also heard that this Zhong family, there is a young grandmother, it is said that this woman is very beautiful, it can be said that the country is alluring, and" Speaking of this, this person suddenly pursed his lips, wanted to speak and stopped, looking like something.
"What else?" asked the rest, expectant in their eyes.
"And," said the young woman with a smile, "This young grandmother is not only good-looking, but at the same time, she also has this strange fragrance on her body, just like the fragrance of a lotus flower." After speaking, this person's eyes showed a look of non-separation.
Suddenly, a person sitting next to him knocked his head with the teacup in his hand, and then said with a disgusted face: "Don't you want to eat swan meat, you don't pee to take care of yourself, just a person like you also has a bad idea for the young grandmother of the Zhong family?"
"Yes," the other coaxed: "People are beautiful, they are fragrant, and they are also Zhong Jin's wife, what does it have to do with you as a poor boy." ”
"Hahaha"
Everybody started laughing.
And at this time, Murong Feng had an indescribable feeling in his heart.
After so many years, I didn't expect that I would be here and hear Wan'er's news.
In the slightly joking tone of others, Murong Feng fell into memory.
Yes, I don't know, over the years, Wan'er has had a good time, and I don't know if the damage caused to Wan'er by her ruthless departure back then is better?
Thinking of this, Murong Feng couldn't forgive himself.
At this time, Brother Liu saw that everyone was laughing at the discussion about the young grandmother of the Zhong family, and felt that he was being left out, so he hurriedly controlled the scene.
"Alright, well, don't talk about these useless things. Brother Liu said, somewhat angry in his tone.
At this moment, everyone guessed that it was indeed a little presumptuous just now.
After all, what Brother Liu wants to say is the most important thing.
Therefore, there was a sudden silence in the teahouse.
Even the shopkeeper who served tea and poured water stood aside obediently, and then looked at Brother Liu.
Seeing that everyone was quiet, Brother Liu's feeling of being looked up to came back again, so he cleared his throat and said, "If you want me to say, you have all seen too little of the world, and you don't know many serious things, and you always chatter about these useless things." ”
"Brother Liu, you are well-informed, don't worry about us, tell me quickly, what is the news this time?" said a person in the crowd with a smiling face.
Brother Liu breathed a sigh of relief, and then said, "Okay, since that's the case, I'll tell you about it."
So all the people held their breath and listened.
Of course, in a corner of this teahouse, there was another person who was also listening carefully, this was Murong Feng.
"Speaking of which, this Zhong family, there has been a big incident recently. Brother Liu suddenly stopped talking, and deliberately sold Guanzi.
"Brother Liu, what's the big deal?" people were very curious.
"This matter is the master of this Zhong family, Zhong Dushan. ”
Maybe it's to whet everyone's appetite, or it may be to make himself more worshipped, this Brother Liu has been selling Guanzi all the time, saying half a sentence, deliberately making everyone curious.
And at this moment, Murong Feng's heart was also somewhat apprehensive.
After all, this matter is related to Master Zhong.
"Brother Liu, what's going on?"
"Yes, Brother Liu, just say it. ”
People couldn't bear it anymore and began to urge.
And at this time, Brother Liu's face showed a smug smile, after all, such a feeling made him feel fluttering.
Looking at everyone's curious eyes, Brother Liu also planned to accept it when he saw it, and then said: "This Zhong Dushan has always been a martial arts master, and his body has always been very strong. However, the sky is unpredictable."
As soon as he heard this person say such words, Murong Feng's heart suddenly tightened.
Could it be that something happened to Master Zhong?
So, he hurried to listen.
"Just last night, this Zhong Dushan died suddenly. ”
In this way, for Murong Feng, it is simply a bolt from the blue.
Because he was too surprised, Murong Feng threw the teacup in his hand to the ground.
And this kind of movement naturally makes everyone's eyes turn to this side.
Murong Feng couldn't take care of these anymore, so he walked forward and asked Brother Liu, "What did you just say?"
Brother Liu just finished saying this exciting news, and was waiting for everyone to worship him, but he didn't expect that such a person suddenly appeared from the corner, and he was very faced, besides, what made Brother Liu dissatisfied was that this person didn't have any respect for himself.
After all, this Brother Liu still has a certain status in this land.
Therefore, in the face of such disrespect, Brother Liu was naturally not angry, he looked at Murong Feng coldly, and then said, "What does what I say has to do with you?"
Because this matter was related to Master Zhong, Murong Feng's heart was very anxious, so he tried his best to hold back his displeasure and said, "I'll talk about it again, what were you talking about just now?"
Seeing that some people were so disrespectful to Brother Liu, some good people couldn't sit still.
A person in the crowd stood up, then walked in front of Murong Feng, grabbed Murong Feng's neckline, and said fiercely: "Hey, where are you from, this is our territory, how dare you be disrespectful to Brother Liu?"
Seeing this scoundrel treat himself like this, Murong Feng said: "This matter has nothing to do with you, let go." ”
Hearing Murong Feng's tone, that person seemed to have come to an end, so he said: "What a big breath, let me tell you, Brother Liu's affairs are our affairs." ”
"Let go," Murong Feng said coldly.
"Not loose"
"If you don't let go, I'll be rude to you. ”、
"Well, I'd like to see, what are you capable of?"
However, to everyone's stunned, something happened.
Murong Feng knocked this person to the ground in an instant.
However, no one saw how much strength Murong Feng used, so everyone realized how strong this person's martial arts were.
At this time, Murong Feng walked to Brother Liu's side
At this time, Brother Liu had already been trembling by the scene just now.
