However, Ling Yun said that after a few days of quiet recuperation in Baiyunxuan, his physical and mental state had almost recovered; but his heart was still extremely depressed, and he was always thinking about the disturbing things that had happened in recent days, and he just felt upset. Confused.
On this day, he finally got up from the bed, put on plain white civilian clothes, and put on a silver-white hero's cloak, and walked out without taking a sword.
As soon as they left the gate of Baiyunxuan courtyard, the guards Liu Yong and Wang Quan hurriedly followed them and said with a smile: "Commander Ling, where are you going?"
Ling Yun said casually: "I'm so bored that I want to go out for a walk."
The two guards agreed and followed behind.
Ling Yun glanced at them lightly and said, "I want to be alone, so you don't have to follow me."
Liu Yong and Wang Quan exchanged glances and continued to follow Ling Yun with their heads lowered.
Ling Yun became a little impatient, stopped and said, "Didn't you understand what I just said?"
Liu Yong and Wang Quan looked at each other awkwardly. Liu Yong hesitated and said: "Commander Ling, you have just recovered from a serious illness. I am worried... I am worried..."
Ling Yun sneered: "Are you worried that I will get lost, or are you worried that I will be kidnapped by a strongman?"
Liu Yong said awkwardly: "Commander Ling, you are really good at joking! What strong man is so short-sighted, or has eaten the heart of a bear or swallowed the courage of a leopard, to dare to kidnap you!"
Ling Yun snorted and walked forward; Liu Yong and Wang Quan still followed him cautiously.
Ling Yun was a little annoyed, and just about to get angry at them, suddenly his cold eyes turned, as if he thought of something, and said: "Master Lu is afraid that I will leave the house again and never come back, so I want you to keep an eye on me." It’s mine, right?”
The two looked at each other awkwardly, not knowing how to answer for a moment.
Ling Yun's eyes were full of alienation and indifference, and he said coldly: "Don't worry, I won't run away again. Taking a step back, if I really want to leave, can you two stop me?"
After hearing this, Liu Yong and Wang Quan made a frightened "plop" sound. Their knees softened and they knelt down in front of Ling Yun. They almost begged: "Commander Ling, please don't leave! If you really leave, Mr. Lu will kill us! There are younger ones, older ones and younger ones. If there really is something wrong with each other, what will we do if we leave this big family behind?" As they said this, the two of them started to cry.
Ling Yun was made to laugh and cry by the two of them. He couldn't help but sigh and said: "I just wanted to go outside and take a breather. As for causing you to be so desperate? Now let me say it again, I just went out to relax. Take some time to relax, and you will definitely not leave irresponsibly and never come back, can you rest assured now?"
The two of them cried with joy, kowtowed and said: "Yes! Yes!... Thank you, Commander Ling, for making it complete!"
Ling Yun looked at their somewhat funny looks and couldn't help but said speechlessly: "Why are you still kneeling? Get up quickly!" He turned around and left.
The two of them stood up in a hurry and followed him step by step.
Ling Yun couldn't help but glance back at the two of them; Wang Quan kept smiling and said: "Commander Ling, your lord has ordered us to follow you every step of the way; I am also following orders, your lord has a large number, Don’t make things difficult for us…”
Ling Yun couldn't help rolling his eyes and said helplessly: "Okay, you can do whatever you want."
Ling Yun left the house, thinking about the worrying things in the past, and felt that his mind was in a mess, just wandering aimlessly on the streets of the capital.
He walked from the East City to the West City, and then from the West City to the East City. He walked back and forth around the capital several times, but he kept walking forward with no intention of stopping to rest.
Liu Yong and Wang Quan were like two bodyguards, carefully following Ling Yun from morning to noon, and then to afternoon.
Seeing that the sun was setting, both of them were so tired that their backs ached and they could no longer lift their legs. They took a peek at Ling Yun, but they still continued to walk leisurely on the road as if nothing was wrong.
His face was as dark as water, and his eyebrows were slightly furrowed. He seemed to have a confused look on his face, full of worries. No one knew what he was thinking at the moment.
Later, the two of them were so tired that they couldn't walk anymore. They secretly exchanged glances, gathered up their courage, and called out in a low voice: "Commander Ling..."
Ling Yun came back from his sleepwalking thoughts, glanced at them indifferently, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Liu Yong accompanied him and said carefully: "The little one is really tired and can't walk anymore. Let's find a place to rest!"
Ling Yun stopped, looked at both sides of the street and said, "Okay, there happens to be a teahouse over there. The two of you go and have a rest first, have a cup of tea to quench your thirst, and I'll take a walk alone." He took out a piece of silver from his pocket and threw it over.
Liu Yong took the silver in his hand, looked at Wang Quan with a wry smile and said, "Come on, little one, it's better not to go! Wherever you go, we will follow you."
Ling Yun couldn't help but smile when he saw the two of them looking sad, thinking: It won't be difficult for them. Then he turned to the two of them and said: "You two go to that teahouse first to have a cup of tea and take a rest. There happens to be a Gua stall here. I'll sit here. After you two finish your tea, come here again." Join me."
The two of them immediately beamed after hearing this, and said repeatedly: "Thank you, Commander Ling!..."
So Wang Quan and Liu Yong went to drink tea happily, and Ling Yun also strolled to the hexagram stall.
Ling Yun looked closely at the gentleman who set up a stall and told fortunes. I saw that he was about sixty years old, wearing a green cloth robe, with thin eyebrows and bright eyes. He exuded a breathtaking charm, which showed that this person had profound skills.
Ling Yun couldn't help but secretly marvel at his free and elegant temperament and his deep and reserved eyes, thinking: This person must be a hidden master of the world.
So he respectfully bowed to this noble scholar: "Senior, this junior is polite. May I ask what I call you, senior?"
The old man smiled slightly and said: "Country layman, idle cloud and wild crane, how can I have a name? Young man, please sit down and talk first."
Ling Yun thanked him and sat down as he was told.
The old man glanced at him and said: "Young man, which aspect do you want to see, future, marriage, or something else?"
At this time, Ling Yun felt that his heart was in chaos, and said: "I don't want to take a good look at any aspect. Senior, you can just take a look."
The old man smiled slightly when he heard the words and looked him up and down; finally his eyes rested on his face, observing his features carefully. His expression suddenly changed, as if he was a little surprised and puzzled.
He pondered for a moment and said: "Young man, could I please let me take a look at your palm?"
Ling Yun stretched out his left hand. The old man held his wrist, frowned slightly, and studied his palms carefully. He seemed to have understood something, and he pondered without speaking for a long time.
After a while, he raised his head, looked into Ling Yun's deep eyes with a keen eye, and asked with a hint of inquiry: "I don't know your birth date, can you tell me easily?"
Ling Yun hesitated for a moment and then said: "August 22, the eighth year of Qingli."
The old man's eyes lit up and he murmured to himself: "As expected..."
Ling Yun looked at him with some confusion, then stood up and saluted the old man and said: "Senior, if there is any reason behind this, please feel free to enlighten me."
The old man said: "Your Excellency is really quick-thinking, but before I tell you the whole story, please let me tell you a story."
Ling Yun said respectfully: "Senior, please speak. I am listening attentively."
The old man paused for a moment, then slowly said: "Legend has it that in the sky a long time ago, there was an auspicious beast, the jade unicorn, which was stationed at the Nantian Gate all year round, protecting the amber pearl, the treasure on the Nantian Gate. It has been working conscientiously and fulfilling its duties.
"Speaking of this amber pearl, not only is it a treasure that shocks everyone, but if any deity, beast or bird is lucky enough to possess it, under its auspicious light, their magic power will be greatly increased and they will live forever.
"A few miles away from the Nantian Gate, there is an ambitious owl, which has been coveting this precious pearl for many years.
"One day, the owl suddenly attacked and wanted to snatch the pearl. The jasper unicorn fought hard, and in the fierce struggle, the amber pearl was accidentally broken. When the emperor heard the news, he was furious and took the unicorn with him. The Celestial Owl removed his immortal bones, demoted him to the heaven, and experienced a lifetime of tribulations in the mortal world.
"It's just that the banished star came to the world to atone for his sins. He must have experienced hardships and setbacks - so this person reincarnated by Qilin must have had a bad fate and experienced ups and downs..."
At this point, the old man raised his head and glanced meaningfully at Ling Yun. Seeing his brows furrowed slightly, as if he was lowering his head in thought, he said, "I've finished telling the old man's story. I wonder if you have learned anything from it?"
Ling Yun shook his head gently and said: "I am too stupid to understand the meaning. Please let me know clearly, senior."
The old man smiled and said: "Your Excellency has the appearance of a celestial being, and his clear mind is incomparable to ordinary people. It is only a matter of time to understand the secrets. This is a secret of heaven. Please forgive me and I can only say this."
Ling Yun understood, stood up and bowed deeply to the old man again: "Thank you, senior, for your guidance."
The old man added: "I can see from your face and palms that you were born into a wealthy family and were of the dragon bloodline. However, due to a bad relationship involving a close relative, you suffered a disaster when you were young, and you changed your mind as a result." Fate..."
Hearing this, Ling Yun couldn't help but look at the old man with some confusion and said, "Please forgive me for being blunt, but I don't know where did the senior start from?"
The old man chuckled and said: "Everything in the world is determined by fate, how can human affairs be changed? Young man, you will understand one day.
"And I would like to advise you that you have experienced ups and downs in your life. It is the right thing to do everything according to nature and your ability. If you can do some things, try your best to do it; if you really can't do it, there is no need to go through it. It is not a wise move to force oneself to have the land. It is not a wise move to insist on one's own way and do it knowing that it cannot be done. There is no need to force everything, just do your best and listen to God's will."
After hearing this, Ling Yun couldn't help but lower his head and ponder; then he nodded thoughtfully and said: "Junior, thank you for your guidance, senior."
Just as they were talking, Liu Yong and Wang Quan came back from drinking tea. When they saw Ling Yun, they hurriedly raised their hands and saluted: "Commander Ling, the young ones are back..."
"Commander Ling?..." The old man was slightly startled and said: "Could it be that you are the famous Commander Ling Yun of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs?..."
