It's okay to ask casually, but if you keep asking questions, you are ignorant of current affairs. Hearing Nan Feng's words, Lao Huai responded and went back first with Zhu Laoer and a group of government officials from the Tutu Temple.
Nanfeng Shi escaped from the earth and came to the familiar house. At this time, the familiar figure had just climbed over the wall and entered the yard, and was heading into the house in the dark.
This is Yuan Anning's old house in Chang'an City. Since he has not lived there for many days, the lock outside the courtyard door has become rusty. This is why Yuan Anning never opened the door and entered.
In addition, the reason why Yuan Anning never walked over the wall was because she was deprived of cultivation by Long Yunzi of the Yuqing Sect not long ago. Although he asked Uncle Wang to heal the trauma on Yuan Anning's face afterwards, Uncle Wang could not recover. Her hard-earned purple energy cultivation.
Having lost his spiritual energy cultivation, he also lost his night vision ability. Yuan Anning groped into the main room and looked for an oil lamp first, but the grease in the oil lamp had dried and could not be lit.
Without an oil lamp for lighting, Yuan Anning took out a round object the size of a fist from his bag. The object emitted weak light, but the light was white. It was not a luminous pearl. It should be a lighting device recorded in Gongshu Yaoshu. It's called glazed phosphorus beads.
With the faint light, Yuan Anning went to the east room first. After the two returned from the East China Sea, he heard the news and rushed to Chang'an to rescue Zhuge Chanjuan. Before leaving, Yuan Anning told him that there were several firearms hidden in the secret room of the east room of this house. After he arrived in Chang'an, he took away the firearms. Therefore, when Yuan Anning went to the east room, what he saw was the wooden box he left behind after taking away the firearm.
Yuan Anning was not surprised to see the empty wooden box. He took the phosphorus beads to look at various corners where people might be hiding, and then went to the west room.
When Yuan Anning inspected the house, Nanfeng followed behind. Yuan Anning's move was undoubtedly to see if he was here.
He had not left Yingchuan for a long time, but within six or seven days, Yuan Anning must have heard the news, so he came to Chang'an from Yingchuan to find out what happened.
After checking to no avail, Yuan Anning took out the barrel, drew water from the well to quench his thirst, drank the water, and washed his face.
It was late at night, and washing her face at this time meant that she had just arrived in Chang'an and had not had time to go out.
Having lost his spiritual energy cultivation, he not only lost his night vision ability, but also his physical strength was not as good as before. After wiping his face, Yuan Anning sat down at the stone table outside the courtyard and took a breather.
Yuan Anning had a worried look on her face and her brows were furrowed. Needless to say, she was worried about his safety. She might have heard some news, but this news was not enough for her to conclude that he was dead.
Nan Feng was sitting opposite Yuan An Ning at this time, only three feet away. He could clearly see her anxious and worried expression and hear her rapid breathing.
Yuan Anning didn't know that Nan Feng was close at hand, so he frowned slightly and thought in a daze.
According to Nanfeng's style, if he encountered this kind of situation during his lifetime, he would definitely make fun of him and yell to scare An Ning. But at this moment, An Ning was no longer alive. No big difference.
Although the two of them are not separated by yin and yang, they are separated by heaven and man. There is no hope of holding hands, and they are sad in their hearts. How can they still have the intention to play evil tricks.
When he left Yingchuan that day, he didn't tell Yuan Anning that he was going to die soon. He didn't tell the truth truthfully, so he couldn't say goodbye.
He never said goodbye to Yuan Anning when he was alive. Now that Yuan Anning came after hearing the news, he should show up to meet Yuan Anning and make it clear to Yuan Anning.
This is what they say, and this is the reason, but Nanfeng has never shown up, and leaving without saying goodbye may be the best result. Appearing at this time will only make Yuan Anning more worried, drowning in grief, and it is difficult to escape.
Sooner or later, things that need to be experienced will be experienced, and things that need to be known will be known to Yuan Anning sooner or later. Showing up to meet each other will only add to the futility.
After a brief respite, Yuan Anning returned to the house, took a few things from the secret room in the east room, put his bag on his back, and crawled out of the yard.
Yuan Anning walks in front, and Nanfeng follows behind.
Going west and exiting the alley, Yuan Anning went south, which was the direction to the ruined temple.
Sure enough, Yuan Anning really went to the ruined temple. She had never been there when she lived in Chang'an, but afterwards she heard Nanfeng talk about it and knew where the ruined temple was.
The ruined temple was far away from the nearby houses. Two miles away from the ruined temple, Yuan Anning saw a subtle light of fire in the direction of the ruined temple.
Seeing the light of the fire, Yuan Anning seemed to see hope and walked quickly in the direction of the light.
Yuan Anning couldn't see clearly, but Nanfeng could. At this time, there were indeed people burning incense and candles in the ruins of the ruined temple to pay homage.
The person paying tribute was also a woman, and she was also wearing night clothes. Unlike Yuan Anning, this person also had a black veil on her face.
After eight years of separation, Chu Huairou's figure was very different from before, but at the first sight of this person, he was sure that this person was Chu Huairou. There was no basis for it, it was just a strong feeling.
Chu Huairou seemed to have spiritual energy cultivation. Before Yuan Anning could get closer, he heard footsteps and quickly got up and hid in the woods beside the road.
When Yuan Anning arrived, he saw only the burning incense and candles for the sacrifices, but no one paying homage.
When he saw the paper money and other objects beside the bonfire, Yuan Anning raised his hand to his forehead, staggered, and almost fell.
Seeing this situation, Nanfeng instinctively wanted to step forward to help, but he could only hold back.
Although he didn't do anything, someone helped Yuan Anning for him, and the person who held Yuan Anning was none other than Chu Huairou, who had previously hid in the forest.
Although Chu Huairou was veiled, Yuan Anning seemed to recognize her, "Is it you?"
Chu Huairou nodded.
"Why are you here, noble man?" Yuan Anning asked. There were some things Nanfeng had told her, but there were some things Nanfeng had not said to her.
Allen Chu shook her head, "You're late."
Hearing Chu Huairou's words, Yuan Anning was shocked. She looked at Chu Huairou and then at the unburned sacrifice, "Is it him?"
Chu Huairou nodded.
Yuan Anning felt dizzy again. Seeing this, Chu Huairou hurriedly helped her to the roadside.
Yuan Anning held on to a big tree by the roadside, barely standing, and remained silent for a long time.
Nan Feng was an outsider at this time, a bystander, and he could see clearly. Based on the attitudes of Yuan An Ning and Chu Huairou, it was not difficult to infer that the two had known each other for a long time. When he came to Chang'an to ask Yuan An Ning to help crack the mechanism in the Sun Mountain Stone Chamber, It happened that Yuan Anning was being chased by the imperial guards. After asking for the reason, he learned that Yuan Anning's father's body was lying in the Caotang Buddhist Temple outside the city. Help, now it seems that the person Yuan Anning asked for back then was Chu Huairou.
After a moment, Yuan Anning asked in a low voice, "Who was he harmed by?"
"You don't know?" Chu Huairou squatted by the fire, burning the remaining sacrifices.
"Jade Qingzong?" Yuan Anning asked.
Chu Huairou shook his head, "According to my guess, he has gone awry in his approach. Before leaving, he summoned his old friends to meet here. He must have known that his end was coming. If I had known this, I should have come out to see him that night. .”
Yuan Anning was stunned. She had already known that Nan Feng had used the borrowing method to save her. When Chu Huairou said it, she immediately understood that the borrowing method was the root cause of Nan Feng's death.
"He didn't tell you, maybe because he didn't want you to feel guilty." Chu Huairou did not comfort Yuan Anning, on the contrary, there was a little dissatisfaction in her words.
"She can't be blamed for this." Nanfeng thought to himself, borrowing the law from Qiankun was just an inducement, what really caused his life to be shortened was the sudden revolt of the Taiqing people.
After Chu Huairou finished speaking, Yuan Anning looked blank and did not answer the question.
Chu Huairou said no more and threw the incense candle into the fire. After the sacrifice was burned, she stood up straight and turned around to leave.
"Why was the temple burned down?" Yuan Anning asked.
"I was not present that night." Chu Huairou walked south. Although she was dissatisfied with Yuan Anning, she did not lie to her, because she was indeed not present that night when the incident occurred, and she had no further contact with Lu Pingchuan and others afterwards.
"Thank you." Yuan Anning thanked him.
Chu Huairou did not answer, walked away slowly, and disappeared into the night.
After Chu Huairou left, Yuan Anning turned and looked at the ruins of the temple. After a while, the sacrifices were burned and the flames went out.
Yuan Anning stood in the dark night for a long time, suddenly remembered something, turned around and walked quickly.
Nanfeng vaguely guessed what Yuan Anning was thinking of. According to his style, he might not tell her the truth before he died, but he would never fail to explain and make arrangements. Yuan Anning must have thought of his words before leaving, and guessed He left something on the bathroom roof.
Nanfeng followed behind, hesitating whether to call Yuan Anning. Yuan Anning left so eagerly, no doubt thinking that he would know the truth by getting the things in the bathroom. In fact, he just left a heavenly book on the beam in the bathroom. Apart from that, there is not a single word...
