Later that day, Feng resigned to bid farewell to Master Xue and Xue Wei.
The Xue family is not a member of the cultivation world now, and did not know the news of the cultivation world so quickly, because Feng Ci did not reveal too much to him, but only said that he had an appointment with Xiao Zhuangzhu at the Wanhai Market, and he would go to Zhejian Villa to choose device.
Unexpectedly, the latter's eyes lit up slightly when he heard about the utensils being sold at the Wanhai Market in Folding Sword Villa: "Do they have other utensils for sale?"
Feng Ci: "... huh?"
Master Xue said: "I have heard about the old owner of Zhejian Villa before, I heard that he likes to collect all kinds of treasures, I am greedy... no, I have been envious for a long time."
Feng Ci understands.
The master of the Xue family has always been very interested in all kinds of treasures in the cultivation world, and this is his treasure house.
However, the sale of the Huan Ling Ding was not ordered by the owner, and it was only the owner's compensation for Feng to resign from his school to pick the treasures. He didn't think Zhejian Villa would continue to sell the utensils.
But Feng Ci still said: "When I get to Zhejian Villa, I will ask for Master Xue."
Master Xue smiled: "Why bother, since the immortal is going, we can all together—"
Before he finished speaking, Xue Wei interrupted: "Come on dad, what's the use of buying so many cultivation world treasures if you have nothing to do, and you don't know how to perform magic tricks."
"Little bastard, are you talking to your father like this?" Master Xue snapped.
He said he still wanted to do it, Xue Wei hurriedly hid behind Fengci: "Did I say something wrong? The warehouses are covered in dust, isn't it enough for you to play with?"
Feng Ci: "..."
Mr. Xue looked uneasy, and Feng Ci hurriedly comforted him: "It is not yet known whether Zhejian Villa intends to sell treasures, and it would be rude to go there rashly. You might as well go down and find out. If you really need it, you only need to send a letter back. Let your son go for a trip."
There was nothing wrong with Feng Ci's suggestion, so Master Xue had no choice but to accept it.
He asked Feng Ci again: "Pei Xianzun... Has he already left? Isn't he going to Zhejian Villa?"
These two people have been inseparable since they came to Gusu for the past few days, but now, only Feng Ci came to bid farewell alone, and Pei Qianyue was not around.
Xue Wei also felt strange: "Yes, why not the City Lord?"
Feng Ci subconsciously tugged at his sleeves, without changing his face: "Well, my master is in a hurry and has already left the residence this morning. Zhejian Villa...maybe I will go later."
"But I don't seem to see him go..." Xue Wei scratched his hair and sighed, "As expected of the city lord, his cultivation level is really advanced. The city lord also taught me some basic skills, but unfortunately I tried several times, but failed. Hold on. Alas, it seems that I am destined to be only a salted fish."
Master Xue reprimanded: "You're talking nonsense again, no good person, why do you want to be a fish?"
Xue Wei tried to explain: "...Father, I didn't mean that."
"Shut up." Master Xue scolded, then turned his head and said to Feng Ci, "Zhejian Mountain Villa is not far from Gusu, and it takes only half a day to get there by wading through the water. It is the fastest way. This old man How about asking Xiaodai to arrange a ferry for Xianzun to escort Xianzun there?"
Xue Wei: "Father, he knows how to control the sword..."
But Feng Ci did not refuse: "Then thank you, Master Xue."
Of course, Yujian would be much faster than the ferry, but Feng Ci had never been to that place, so even if he arrived in Guangling, he had to inquire slowly. It would be better to be lazy and let someone from the Xue family lead him the way, which would save a lot of trouble.
Master Xue slapped Xue Wei on the head: "Hurry up!"
"Hey, I got it, you can't hit someone with the head, you'd be foolish..." Xue Wei muttered, but walked out the door quickly without delay.
Looking at his back, Feng Ci suddenly felt emotional.
Xue Wei's soul fell into this world by accident. He originally thought that there would be many discomforts in this life.
So far, he seems to be adapting well.
Much better than Fengci.
When Feng resigns to other small worlds, he will also look for a body that has just died to stay temporarily.
Most of those physical bodies have family members and friends, and they don't realize that there is no such thing as resurrection, and they have never doubted Feng Ci's identity, and they are still very good to him.
But no matter how the people around him treat him, it is difficult for Feng Ci to really integrate into it.
Because he knew that the good should not belong to him.
So he could only choose to avoid those emotions, and in the end, he even simply picked the dead bodies that were alone before, so as to avoid being too deeply involved.
But in this way, it will be more difficult for him to integrate.
In a foreign land, with no branches to rely on.
Feng Ci lowered his head and subconsciously rolled up his sleeves.
He was still wearing the clothes given by Xue's mansion, and the white and wide sleeves hung down, covering a slender wrist and the little black snake entangled on the wrist.
The father and son of the Xue family naturally didn't know that the majestic Langfeng City Lord had actually been hiding in his sleeves.
Who made Pei Qianyue commit suicide again this morning, which annoyed Feng Ci a lot.
Feng Ci simply taught him a lesson, not only beat the bastard back to his original form, but also didn't allow him to change back, forcing him to become smaller and follow Feng Ci's side.
Waiting for when to be honest and when to turn back into a human being.
The little black snake is now no more than the thickness of a little finger, and the snake's body is flimsy and wrapped around Feng Ci's wrist three times, like a beautifully textured black jade bracelet.
It rested on Fu Fengci's wrist, and only raised its head when it felt Fengci touch it.
Quietly rubbing Feng Ci's fingertips.
—It's very cute at this time.
Feng Ci liked his tricks very much, he was coaxed to feel at ease, put his hands in his sleeves, and patted the head of the little black snake.
In fact, even if he returned to the world he originally came from, Feng Ci didn't have much sense of belonging at the beginning.
Three thousand years have passed in this world, the old people of the past have long since passed away, and many things are completely different from his cognition. For him, this is no different from a strange world.
The only thing that pulled him back and made him feel that he was still connected with this world was Pei Qianyue.
The world has changed, and in the end, only this little snake he rescued from the side of the road was left by his side.
Of course, he couldn't tell Pei Qianyue directly.
As far as Feng Ci's attitude is concerned, this bastard is already innocent enough, if he really knows, he might be so embarrassing.
***
Traveling around the south of the Yangtze River, ferries are much more convenient than horse-drawn carriages. Feng Ci was left by Master Xue in Xue's mansion just after drinking a cup of tea, Xue Wei had already arranged to come back.
The ferry stopped at the pier, and Feng Ci politely declined Mr. Xue's offer of seeing him off, and only asked Xue Wei to send him there.
On the way, Feng Ci finally couldn't help asking him what he thought about being in a different world.
"Hey, so you know this, I thought only the city lord believed me." Xue Wei was not too surprised that Feng Ci knew the truth, but was very frank, "I really didn't get used to it at first, this ancient... is this In this era, there are too few things to play, and there are too many rules, which is very troublesome."
He paused, and then said: "... But after staying for a long time, I gradually got used to it. How about living, how can you live?"
Feng Ci said: "Your temperament is easy to follow."
"Is this called being happy with the situation? Maybe." When they were speaking, the two were sitting in the carriage going to the pier. Xue Wei lifted a corner of the curtain and looked outside.
White smoke rose from the steamer at the breakfast shop on the side of the road, books were read with scrolls in their hands, and children ran past quickly.
People come and go, it is a quiet and peaceful world of fireworks.
"Did the city lord tell you that I came here after I died. Before the accident, my mind was full of work and money, and I wanted to live a good life. But in the end, I died suddenly after working overtime, and I came here overnight." Xue Wei sighed, "Now I want to Why should I think about it, I might as well enjoy my life at the beginning, but fortunately I always felt that my life should not die, and gave me another chance to start over."
Feng Ci asked him again: "So, you really don't want to go back?"
He remembered that Pei Qianyue had said that Pei Qianyue had promised that he would try to help him return to his original world, so Xue Wei didn't continue to toss and agreed to pretend to be the only son of the Xue family.
When mentioning this question, Xue Wei hesitated.
"Well..." He lowered the car curtain and said in a low voice, "Let me tell you the truth, don't tell the city lord."
"..."
Feng Ci obviously felt the icy snake tail on his wrist pat lightly, he thought for a while, and quietly made a trick with the hand hidden in his sleeve.
A transparent mask invisible to the naked eye surrounded the little black snake, and also isolated the outside sound from him.
The snake tail shot even more violently.
Feng Ci stroked his head with his fingers to comfort him, and replied calmly, "Okay."
Only then did Xue Wei say: "At first I really wanted to go back. My parents are still there. If they knew I was dead, they would be very sad. But I can't let go of my father's side now."
The wife of the Xue family, Xue Weishang, died of a serious illness when she was young. Master Xue still misses her for so many years and has no reunion. He only wants to manage the property well and educate him and Mrs. Xue's only son well.
This is also why when he first thought that Xue Wei was bewitched, he would look for famous doctors everywhere, even finding Langfeng City at all costs.
"... If I leave, won't he die? My parents still have my younger brother, but my father, I am the only one left." Xue Wei shrank his neck and said, "You can never say that. Don't tell the city lord that he seems to have spent a lot of time investigating the affairs of the other world, if he finds out that I don't really want to go back, he probably wants to kill me."
Feng Ci is silent.
The biggest reason why Pei Qianyue investigated the other world was not to send Xue Wei back, but to find out about Feng Ci.
So it's not a big deal.
Before Feng Ci could say anything, Xue Wei had already wailed: "Ah, this kind of thing is really difficult to make a decision. My parents have raised me for so long. Wouldn't it be very unfilial if I just stayed here? My father here is also very good to me, I can't be filial to him, right?"
Feng Ci opened his mouth.
He wanted to say that although theoretically he did have the ability to take people's souls out of this world, crossing the barrier of time and space required extremely high soul power, that is, cultivation.
Xue Wei accidentally fell into the gap when he came, and now it is almost impossible to leave without cultivation.
As for how high a level of cultivation is required, Feng Ci himself doesn't know, but even if he can't reach his level, he must at least have a level similar to that of Pei Qianyue.
It is almost approaching the realm of ascension.
With Xue Wei's current cultivation base, it is really too far to consider whether to leave.
The reporter said that even if they find Fang in the future, Xue Weihun can return to the original world smoothly. But one, his original world has already died, and his physical body is still unknown to the world. Second, the flow of time in different worlds is different, and his parents don't even know about that world.
Because, it is almost impossible to return to his original parents.
But Feng Ci didn't want to hurt him, so he didn't talk to him much.
The two soon arrived at the ferry terminal, and a ferry was already waiting by the river.
Xue Wei died once, he thought about all his troubles, and quickly forgot about the matter in the carriage. He sent Feng Ci to the ferry, and explained it carefully to the boatman again, asking him to be careful and send Feng Ci to Zhejian Villa as soon as possible.
Feng Ci just thought it was funny: "Young Master Xue, I am a disciple of Langfeng City after all, are you afraid that I will be sold out halfway?"
"Be careful." Xue Wei said, "If something happens to you, the city lord will definitely take my skin off."
Feng Ci was already certain that Xue Weiwei must have misunderstood something.
He pressed the center of his eyebrows, and said helplessly, "What do you think I have to do with the city lord?"
"Master and apprentice." Xue Wei answered simply, and even comforted him, "Don't worry, I've seen this kind of relationship between you a lot, don't care about worldly eyes, you have to be brave. Novel, cough, scripts say so. "
Feng Ci: "..."
How come he has never seen such a shocking script.
"You misunderstood." Feng Ci thought that he still needed to maintain the reputation of the majestic Langfeng City Lord, "He and I are really not what you think."
Xue Wei showed a "do you think I'm blind" expression.
"The city lord looks like he wants to eat you, how is it possible—" Xue Wei paused slightly when he said this, and looked at Feng Ci in surprise, "You said 'it's not what I thought'... Is that what you mean? "
"?" Feng Ci didn't understand, "What do you mean?"
"Just that..." Xue Wei stretched out his hand and gestured halfway, as if he couldn't say it, "...in fact, it's not the first year, but the next year?"
Feng Ci couldn't understand what he said at all.
Although he has been to worlds similar to Xue Wei's past, he doesn't know that much about those worlds, and even he can't understand many of Xue Wei's words.
Feng Ci sighed and resigned to his fate: "You think so."
Xue Wei: "Oh!"
He patted Feng Ci on the shoulder, with a secretive expression on his face: "Don't worry, I will keep it secret."
Looking at the young man's determined face, Feng Ci felt that he seemed to explain things worse than before.
But he no longer intends to entangle with the young man, and he simply said a few words perfunctorily, and the two said goodbye.
Feng Ci waded down the water by boat.
The scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is completely different from other places. Now that it is approaching winter, the mountains on both sides of the river are still full of emerald green, and the canal is like a blue tie, connecting the cities along the river.
The ferry boat broke through the jasper-like calm river, ripples appeared on the water surface, and the reflections of the mountains became somewhat blurred.
Looking from the deck of Fengci Station, Gusu City has completely disappeared behind, and occasionally a few small farmyards smoking from cooking can be seen on the river bank, as well as squatting laundry on the bank.
While doing laundry, he hummed a simple Jiangnan tune.
Compared with the little song of Fengyue Pavilion, it has another taste.
Feng Ci was listening attentively, but the boatman on the other side of the ferry accosted him.
"Is the young master going to Zhejian Villa as a guest?" the boatman asked him.
"Probably." Feng Ci nodded, and asked again, "Do you often go to Zhejian Villa?"
The boatman was a gray-haired old man, and he replied: "I have been rowing on this river for almost three years. When there are many people, I will go every two or three times. Sometimes their disciples will take my boat when they go out."
Feng Ci was a little puzzled.
After all, Folding Sword Villa is a sect of self-cultivation, disciples don't travel by air, but by boat
Seeming to see his doubts, the boatman said: "I know that you cultivators can fly up by reciting a spell. Although Master Xiao didn't say it, he probably took pity on our ferry camp on the river and deliberately gave us favors." .”
Feng Ci was a little surprised.
It's hard to see that Xiao Zhuangzhu is such a benevolent person.
"However, Zhejian Villa is very strange recently." The boatman said, "I went to Zhejian Villa yesterday, but his disciples came out and told us not to go near Zhuangzi in the future, and one of them gave us five taels of silver. If it wasn't for Young Master Xue looking for me, I wouldn't dare to cross this boat."
"I see... it looks like something is going to happen."
Feng Ci listened to the words, and his feelings were slightly restrained.
The boatman sighed: "Sigh, we ordinary people don't dare to ask these questions. If you are a guest, you might as well inquire about it. Master Xiao has treated us kindly, and we are all worried."
"Don't worry." Feng Ci said calmly, "Nothing will happen to Zhejian Villa."
He also won't let the Folding Sword Villa have an accident.
When he first returned to this world, he only saw the intrigues in the cultivation world, and saw his younger generations fighting for power. At that time, he didn't really like this place.
Because only he knows how much the young man and devil have paid for the war.
But if such a tragic sacrifice resulted in such a consequence, he felt it was not worth it.
If it weren't for Tao's mission, Feng Ci wasn't sure if he would insist on taking care of these things.
Until now came the folk.
The people in this world live in prosperity, peace and tranquility, which is exactly what he wants to see most.
When they were young, they were not fighting for the cultivation world, or for a certain person.
What they are doing is this dawn.
Today's tranquility is hard-won, how can it be easily destroyed by something who doesn't know what it is.
Feng Ci stood facing the wind, and sighed leisurely: "Xiao Hei, we have to be serious."
no respond.
Feng Ci stagnates, remembering what he forgot.
It seemed to him that he hadn't released the restriction on the little black snake since he was in the carriage.
Feng Ci: "..."
The restriction can isolate all the breath and sound from the outside world. When it was first locked up, the little black snake resisted for a while.
In order to comfort him, Feng Ci kept touching him all the time.
Later, I don't know whether it was his comforting that worked, or the little black snake found that he couldn't break free at all, so there was no rest.
...caused Feng Ci to even forget that he was still within his own restraint in the end.
Feng Ci was inexplicably guilty, he quietly lifted his sleeves, revealing a slender white wrist.
The little black snake wrapped around his wrist quietly, with its small head resting on the back of his hand.
Even when Feng Ci lifted the restriction, there was no response.
Feng Ci panicked, and quickly probed into the spiritual power.
The sea of consciousness is stable, and the breath is as usual.
He... is asleep.
Feng Ci: "..."
This can also sleep? ?
