When his eyes adjusted to the strong light, Jiang Yuebai gradually saw clearly that the forest was in a mess, with terrifying deep pits and razed forests everywhere.
The girl in green held the sword in one hand and pointed it at the boy in blue who was sitting on the ground.
The young man was holding a scabbard in his hand, and judging by its style, it was the scabbard of the sword in the female cultivator's hand.
Both of them had young faces and were no more than twenty years old, but Jiang Yuebai couldn't tell clearly what their cultivation level was.
"You, you cheated!" The young man was furious, and his expression was really similar to Xie Jingshan.
The girl looked lazy. She raised her hand and pushed it towards her nose bridge, but missed. She looked at her hand and sighed inexplicably.
"I forgot again... Take it and don't bother me, or I might really kill you next time."
The girl threw the sword to the boy and walked straight past him, heading into the deep mountains and dense forests.
Jiang Yuebai's eyes followed the boy and he could only watch the girl disappear from afar.
Then, the scene changed and no one knew what happened in between.
On the top of the mountain under the moon, the boy and the girl were sitting on the edge of the cliff. Their clothes were different from before and they looked a little older. A long time must have passed in between.
The boy handed the girl a gourd of wine and said, "My name is Lin Feng."
The girl took the wine gourd and looked the boy up and down. "Your last name is Lin, then you will definitely dominate the world in the future."
Lin Feng was puzzled, "What does do dominating a region have to do with a surname?"
The girl raised her head and took a sip of the wine, then wiped the liquid from the corner of her mouth. "Even if I tell you, you won't understand. This wine is really bland. I'll try to purify it by distillation later... Uh... Forget it. In this unscientific world, distillation is not as effective as a spell."
"Why do you say such weird things?"
The girl smiled bitterly and sighed, "I was kidnapped here, so I am naturally different from you."
"You are so strong, how could someone kidnap you?" Lin Feng looked incredulous.
The girl took another sip of wine and started talking. "There was such a thing. It ignored my personal wishes and left me here to lure me to cultivate and become an immortal. It said it was for my own good. But in fact, what is the difference between this and kidnapping and animal taming?"
Lin Feng looked confused and asked, "The person who kidnapped you is very strong?"
"Well, it's as powerful as the Heavenly Dao you mentioned. Although I can live forever here, I still want to go home. Thank you for your help just now. Let me introduce myself again. My name is Lu Xingyun! Nice to meet you."
Lu Xingyun stretched out a hand towards Lin Feng. Lin Feng didn't understand what he meant, so Lu Xingyun smiled and took his hand back.
Seeing the bitterness in Lu Xingyun's eyes, Lin Feng thought for a moment and said, "Although you are a weird person, you are quite loyal, and you are quite different from the people I know. Don't worry, I will do my best to help you and get you home."
The scene changed again, and Jiang Yuebai saw the two of them going in and out together, practicing together, traveling together, going deep into secret realms together, facing danger together, and fighting back together.
The two of them grew up together and became more tacitly connected. Many times, they could understand each other with just a glance.
No matter what time it is, Lu Xingyun always has a maturity that is inconsistent with her appearance, and a bit of laziness.
And Lin Feng is indeed very similar to Xie Jingshan. He is always energetic and unruly, and follows Lu Xingyun around.
Lu Xingyun doesn't laugh much normally, but the time she laughs the most is when Lin Feng is around her and teasing her.
These scenes reminded Jiang Yuebai of the time when she and Xie Jingshan were together.
But she would not have any romantic thoughts, because she always regarded Xie Jingshan as a silly brother, and she was selfishly using Xie Jingshan to make up for her debt to her biological brother.
There are many mysteries about Lu Xingyun, and she is also very smart.
After seeing Lin Feng's swordsmanship, she was able to immediately find the flaws and give Lin Feng advice on how to improve his swordsmanship or even practice his skills.
Whether it is drawing talismans, setting up formations, refining pills or refining equipment, Lu Xingyun can learn it in the shortest time possible, and he is always full of brilliant ideas and surpasses his teachers.
In addition to being smart and mysterious, Lu Xingyun is also extremely hardworking and focused. She has a strong energy and often studies a subject without sleep or food. She is focused and extremely self-disciplined. Even at such times, Lin Feng cannot distract her.
Lu Xingyun often said that she wanted to know whether cultivating immortals was science or theology.
Time flies, and the two have gone through countless spring, summer, autumn and winter together. Everything has come naturally, both their practice and their feelings.
In Zhufeng's memory, there were no big storms or waves. They naturally held hands and became a pair of Taoist companions.
It’s just that they were very low-key and didn’t hold a wedding ceremony, so not many people knew about it.
It was also during that time that a small sect on Qingyun Peak in the Jiuchong Mountains was saved from extinction because of Lu Xingyun's help, and they decided to worship Lu Xingyun as their founder.
Perhaps it was because Lu Xingyun had been wandering for half his life and had formed a Taoist couple with Lin Feng. He had traveled all over the mountains and couldn't find the way back, so he wanted to find a place to settle down and recuperate for a while.
Lu Xingyun established the Tianyan Sect in the Jiuchong Mountains.
During that time, Lin Feng had been helping Lu Xingyun with the affairs of setting up the sect, and many of the sect's rules were copied from Guiyuan Sword Sect.
Perhaps in Lin Feng's opinion, he and Lu Xingyun should continue to work hand in hand until they reach the top of the road.
But Lu Xingyun was obviously different from others.
The jumping of memory scenes made Jiang Yuebai unable to figure out how much time had passed in between. He only saw that the Jiuchong Mountains went from being barren to being full of buildings, and from being uninhabited to being crowded with people.
At the foot of the mountain, beside the Feifeng Forest, Lu Xingyun and Lin Feng, who had become the Wind-Chasing Sword Master, stood facing each other.
Zhu Feng was incredulous. "What did you just say?"
Lu Xingyun was wearing a wide green robe with big sleeves, with his black hair draped behind him, exuding a lazy and unrestrained aura.
"I said, I want to practice the ruthless way."
Zhu Feng clenched his fists, his eyes painful, "Why do I have to practice the ruthless way?"
Lu Xingyun lowered his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking about, and snorted and laughed, "The way of heaven is ruthless. If I want to replace heaven, doesn't that mean I have to practice the way of ruthlessness?"
Boom!
Lu Xingyun's casual words actually angered the sky. Zhufeng looked up in surprise, and when he saw the sudden change in the wind and clouds, he knew that she was serious.
"Why?" Zhu Feng asked again, his eyes full of confusion.
Lu Xingyun frowned, "Why so many whys? I want to do it, so I'll do it. I won't let anyone or anything stop me."
"Even me?"
"Even you!"
Zhu Feng was shocked, and seeing Lu Xingyun turning around and trying to leave, he tried to stop him.
At that moment, Lu Xingyun turned around and swung his sleeves, showing no mercy.
The sword that Lu Xingyun had made himself and that Zhufeng had always carried with him broke with a sound.
In ancient times, people cut off their robes to sever their ties of friendship, and nowadays, people break their swords
Lu Xingyun looked at Zhufeng calmly and said calmly.
"You and I are not from the same world. I am grateful for having you by my side in the first half of my life, but I want to walk alone in the second half."
The memory scene flashed quickly again.
Lu Xingyun disappeared, Zhufeng was distraught and returned to Lingfeng Valley of Guiyuan Sword Sect to meditate.
Zhufeng became silent and taciturn from then on, but he did not sink into despair. Instead, he worked hard to become stronger and practiced swordsmanship in Lingfeng Valley.
After that, he always followed Lu Xingyun. Wherever Lu Xingyun was, he would appear.
Lu Xingyun's reputation spread far and wide, and he also became famous, and many rumors spread.
Lu Xingyun never responded, nor did he explain.
Until the disaster of the sky falling happened, the spirit world split into the earth spirit world and the sky spirit world. Zhufeng left his broken sword in Lingfeng Valley, followed Lu Xingyun's footsteps, and left resolutely.
The scene in the memory also came to an abrupt end when Zhufeng left Lingfeng Valley, and Jiang Yuebai's consciousness was pushed away by a huge force.
The whistling sound of wind and snow came into Jiang Yuebai's ears again. He opened his eyes and looked at the broken sword, the candlestick and the painting.
Judging from these memories, Lu Xingyun is indeed heartless.
However, this is only Zhufeng's one-sided statement. Is his memory necessarily accurate and true
