He looked at her and followed her figure step by step into the pagoda. At this time, the dusk was sinking, and a green lantern was set up in the Zen room. It was barely possible to distinguish each other's position, but it was not very bright.
Bai Feng talked about many things by himself, telling how he "betrayed" Beizhen, how he met Yu Ke, and why he traveled with Fu Wentao and Ayu, all in detail. He didn't believe in gods and Buddhas, and he had no intention of worshiping Buddha at this moment. However, seeing Murong Yan silent for a long time, she walked around the pagoda without thinking, lighting the candles in front of the temple one by one, but she couldn't tell what she felt in her heart.
Soon, the whole building became filled with light.
"Brother Feng, look at me, how do you think I look?" Murong Yan suddenly turned around, and the two of them faced each other.
"You, you have become more beautiful." Bai Feng was very excited, and his lips kept trembling: "I saw your clear eyes, and the fatigue when I came disappeared in an instant; I heard the sound you made when you moved your steps lightly. I can feel you dancing with the sound of copper bells; as long as I think of something related to you in my mind, I will remember that you once touched my chest with your warm palms.
After hearing this, Murong Yan's eyes gradually filled with tears, and then she gently stroked the other person's cheek and said, "What about you, Brother Feng? Do you know that you are much older? Even though you have carefully groomed yourself for the palace, but you Anyone can see the fatigue on his face..."
"Me?" The young swordsman was in disbelief.
"Brother Feng, do you still remember what you are searching for?" The Xianbei girl lowered her head in front of the majestic Buddha statue and secretly wiped away tears.
Bai Feng replied without any hesitation: "I want to rescue you, destroy Taiping Dao, and seek justice for all those who died because of Sima Tu's selfish thoughts!"
"Listen carefully, if I tell you, I clearly feel that the road ahead will be far more tortuous than you and I imagined... It is not only about the personal relationship between children and temporary hatred, but also about the fate of the world. ! Even so, are you still willing to continue to burn yourself and illuminate the way of others?"
Murong Yan knelt on the ground and prayed helplessly.
"When I decided to pick up that sword, I had already made a decision..." Bai Feng pulled out the Longming Sword and let the moonlight reflect on the sword: "I have never thought about giving up, so why would I want to?"
Murong Yan suddenly stopped praying and stared at the young man lovingly, with tears in her eyes: "I know, I have always known that you have never changed, either to me or to yourself."
"If I am really a "destined person" or a "Holy Lord", then maybe this is the mission that God has entrusted to me, right?" Bai Feng looked at the sky and said sarcastically: "If not, then I will let it." It's promised me that I will spend the rest of my life with this seven-foot body for you, for 'them', and for everyone."
A great and sublime emotion surrounded the two people. This was a reunion that was even more impressive than "that night" in the Holy Land. Their thoughts were far beyond the capacity of this small pagoda, only the vastness The sky is what birds depend on.
Before that, they still need to defeat the evil that has lasted for a long time and has far-reaching consequences. They were the shackles that imprisoned Bai Feng's shoulders, the sectarian dogma that imprisoned Murong Yan in her life, and the five-stone powder and ecstasy soup that deceived the world.
"I, Murong Yan, will do what Bai Feng did for me - dedicate myself to everyone..."
The two sat side by side, admiring the moon and talking. The monk and Yu Ke didn't bother them, so they gradually fell asleep and everyone spent the night hiding in the pagoda.
However, early the next morning, Taiping Taoists came to disturb people's dreams.
Neither Bai Feng nor Murong Yan wanted to hide their secrets, they walked out of the pagoda openly and confronted the visitor.
"I'm not here to have a private meeting with anyone. I'm here by invitation. Unexpectedly, I'm disturbed by you guys!" Bai Feng took the lead and said harshly: "Think about it, how could I have done it without Prime Minister Mei's consent?" Is it safe to spend the night in this place?”
The people who came to fetch people were nameless Taiping Road boys. How could they know what the adults were thinking? They could only use excuses to keep Bai Feng and others where they were, and then secretly found someone to complain to Mei Lin.
After a while, Mei Lin showed up here with people. When he saw so many Taiping Taoists here, he first mocked them and said, "Why do you cultivators look forward to coming to my Buddhist place to cause trouble every day? "
Mei Xinghe even took advantage of the crowd and said: "Ms. Mei feels that your Taiping Taoist treatment of a woman is too ruthless, so he agreed that she can come to this place to relax. Don't you Taiping Taoists think about why Miss Murong doesn't want to stay here?" Where are you?"
"However, the truth does not allow this man to appear here." Mei Lin tapped his orchid finger and ordered the servants on the left and right: "Take it down and take him away."
In a moment, Gao Gao ran from the other side to rescue Bai Feng and said, "Ms. Mei, show mercy!"
"This man is a guest of my Gao family. What did he do that warrants your help?" Gao Gao seemed to have just come out of the bedroom without even wearing a hat: "He just came to see his wife, that's all human behavior."
"Just because he broke into the Purple Bamboo Forest secretly, isn't it enough to punish him?" After Mei Lin finished speaking, he ordered: "Capture the prisoner and retry him on another day!"
At this time, Bai Feng suddenly shouted loudly: "You Taiping Taoists, yesterday you begged me to come here to find the Xianbei witch, saying that once something happens to the Xianbei witch, everyone will lose their heads! Now that she has been found, Not only do you not give me credit, but you blame me for trespassing into the Purple Bamboo Forest?"
"What do you mean by this?" Mei Xinghe asked, "Are you saying that Taiping Dao ordered you to do this?"
Some Taiping Taoists echoed: "That's not what you just said! You said that you can only come to Zizhu Forest because of the consent of Prime Minister Mei!"
"That's what I said." Bai Feng laughed loudly: "But I didn't lie to you! Taiping Dao and Xianggong Mei both want the Xianbei witch. You have been fighting openly and secretly for these years, and everyone knows it."
After hearing this, Mei Lin smiled and asked people to retreat, and said to Gao Gao: "General Gao, you have to remember to take care of your own people, so as not to regret it after an accident tomorrow."
Gao Gao replied: "This is my general's negligence. I will strictly discipline you in the future. Please go back first. I will take you away."
After speaking, Taiping Dao sent Murong Yan back to the Taoist temple to rest, and Mei Lin also went home alone.
Gao Gao looked at Bai Feng angrily. He wanted to scold him, but he quickly gave up the idea and asked: "Bai Shaoxia, if I hadn't told me that something happened to you here, I'm afraid you would have done it today." into enemy hands.”
"General Gao, don't worry about me." Bai Feng cupped his hands and apologized: "They won't do anything to me. The most they can do is put me under house arrest like Yan'er."
"Don't forget, you still have to inherit my brother's legacy and complete his unfinished business..." Gao Gao let out a long sigh and continued: "There is an important banquet today, but don't forget, this is your first This is my first official meeting with the emperor, and your old friend Zhao Kuo will also be there."
After Gao Gao said that, he patted Bai Feng on the shoulder with some affection, and then sent someone to take Bai Feng and Yu Ke back, asking them to wash themselves carefully from head to toe and put on the most fitting and decent clothes to prepare for the banquet.
