Wandering

Chapter 75
She is only like this with me in a dream, back to reality, she is still my class teacher Liu Feier, deliberately maintaining a boundary.But I knew in my heart that she was playing with fire, and the smarter and more confident she was, the easier it was for her to play with fire like this.It is impossible for a person to maintain the boundary between dream and reality for a long time in the waking state, especially when the dream is real.Although I am not as good as her in other aspects, I am a real person of Jindan Dacheng after all, and I have long understood this truth.I think that when I learned "Entering Dreams", I learned the unity of dreams and reality; when I realized "Destroying Delusion", it proved that returning the delusion mind to the true heart is the way to liberation.Teacher Liu will understand sooner or later, I can wait for her, no matter what the result is.

When I saw the book in her hand, my face also felt a little hot.I have read this book once, and there are two sentences in the whole article: dreams are the fulfillment of wishes; the most fundamental wish is desire.If she wants to find the answer to her dreams in this book, her entanglement with my love will only get deeper and deeper.

She blushed, put the book behind her back, and said in a normal tone as much as possible: "Shi Ye, are you here too?... Are you reading "Wucheng Zhoufu Chronicles"? No wonder you are so interested in the history of our Liu family. Then understand."

"I also just started watching it. I became interested in the history of Wucheng after I met Teacher Liu." I answered bluntly.

"Oh, is that so? Then keep reading, I won't disturb your research..." She left the library in a hurry after speaking.

……

There are indeed many references to the three great families in the historical documents about Wucheng, especially the Mei family and the Liu family.One thing I am very concerned about is that these two great families have a close relationship in history, even generations of in-laws.The daughters of the Liu family married into the Mei family, and many of the Mei family's daughters married into the Liu family.Seeing these, I can't help being a little envious of the "Umeno Stone" who doesn't know whether he came to the world or not.If he never existed, then what's the point of me, Ishino, being Umenoishi?Now I am the owner of "Jingwu Cave".

"Wucheng Prefecture Chronicles" is not a book, this one in the library is a thick stack of bound volumes.When I was about to leave that day, I accidentally turned to the last page, which was a piece of yellowed white paper bound in front of the cover. This kind of page in ancient books is often where modern editors left messages.I was stunned when I saw this!Because there are five people's messages on it, and I know all five people, and I know three of them.

The first message was written a long time ago, and a corner of the ink was even bound into the gap, which should have been left at the same time as the binding.It is written neatly in small letters with a brush: "What is the way of heaven, sigh Wucheng, a thousand-year volume, and send a new chapter to my generation and future generations!" The inscription is "Liu Zigui".It was Liu Yiyi's father, Principal Liu of Wucheng Middle School who had just returned to China after liberation.

The handwriting of the second message is a bit sloppy, but the calligraphy of dragon flying and phoenix dance is very exquisite: "How is the way of heaven, the heavens are born into books, Zigui is no longer there, and the troubled times are still there!" message.I have seen the name Mei Cunjing. It is listed on the ivory plate of "Jingwu Dongtian", which ranks second to last, just before Mei Yeshi.It is likely to be the parent of Umenoshi, or the person who should have been his father.

The third message was written with a pen, and the brushwork was very elegant: "How is the way of heaven, it's hard to ask the old man, the family sighs once a thousand years, who is ordered in this life?" The signature is "Zhang Rongdao".The handwriting is neither new nor old, it was left by Mr. Zhang who set up a fortune-telling stall at the head of Fenghuang Bridge.Unexpectedly, on this page, the children of the three major families in Wucheng are all here!

The fourth message is still written with a brush. The strokes seem childish and clumsy, but the characters are full of skill: "How is the way of heaven, if the brother doesn't tell me, who can ask the Buddha?" The signature is "Facheng".The naive old monk of Jiulin Temple actually left a message here to join in the fun.It's just that the words he wrote are a bit nondescript, and have a different style from the first three messages.

The handwriting of the fifth message is very new, and it is written with a ballpoint pen.Seeing this line of words, my nose almost crooked in anger, and I couldn't help laughing out loud at the same time.This person's calligraphy can be said to be extremely sloppy, or it can be said to be very magical, but it can be said to be graffiti, or it can be said to be smooth and flowing.Because the seven characters were written in one stroke, and the strokes in the middle were not broken!These seven words are actually - "The gentleman is here for a visit"!
Liu Zigui, Mei Cunjing, Mr. Zhang, Master Facheng, and Feng Junzi wrote on this page one after another, but the content was quite different.I carefully tasted the different messages of these years from the beginning to the end, and it was not until the administrator came over to remind me that the reading room was closing.

……

Don't mention how I have worked hard and practiced in this period of time, and the others have not been idle.Mr. Zhang has returned from the Zhongnan faction, and he has been away for a long time!Sister Ziying and I are very grateful to Mr. Zhang for going to Zhongnan for mediation.When I thanked Mr. Zhang, he smiled and said that there is no need to be too polite. The main reason for staying in Zhongnan for such a long time is that there are delicious food and drinks, and there is no need to go out to set up a stall every day.

The head of Zhongnan School Dengfeng ordered Qixin to go to Wucheng to "invite" Han Ziying. His original intention was not to do anything to her, but to make Qiye go back to the mountain to admit his mistake.If Qiye really ran away because of Han Ziying, as long as he is willing to turn around, the elder Zhongnan is willing to make it happen even now.Dengfeng, Dengwen and the others were well-intentioned and thoughtful, but they didn't expect that Han Ziying would rather die than follow.Originally, a cultivator like Zhong Nan, Ken Rong's next "demon girl", had already made an exception to give Tianda face, but Miss Ziying didn't care about this face at all.The Zhongnan faction had no choice but to give up.

The Zhongnan faction assured Mr. Zhang that they would not embarrass Han Ziying in the future. There is another most important reason, and that is me.There are rumors in the rivers and lakes that Zhengyi's closed disciple "Shi Xiaozheng" who guards the righteousness of the sect, and Qiye of the Zhongnan sect are fighting for a witch, and Qiye leaves Zhongnan in anger.Originally, the Zhongnan School had been rewarded by Layman Xuanhua, knowing that Han Ziying was always with me.When Mr. Zhang was in Zhongnan, Daoist Shouzheng came out of the customs, and he personally admitted that he had a "teacher-student relationship" with me.When the news spread to Zhongnan, even if the Zhongnan faction didn't give face to Mr. Zhang, they would give face to Zhenren Shouzheng and Zheng Yimen.

I made a big fuss at Qiyun Temple, and threatened to establish a sect in front of practitioners all over the world in Guangjiao Temple. I have long been famous.This time, Qiye left Zhongnan to create an uproar in the practice world, and people talked about it, and I was involved again.Pity me Ishino, a person who has never caused troubles in an honest manner, has become the focus of anecdotes in the world, and now his "prestige" is not low!Many rumors in the world pointed the finger at Sister Ziying, saying that this enchantress was coquettish and lewd, and seduced Qiye first, but was stopped by Zhong Nan's elders, and then seduced the "Xia Shao" Shi Ye who was guarding the main gate.What's more, he also said that Mr. Zhang went to Zhongnan for mediation because he was also bewitched by the witch, who is very good at seductiveness, and can eat all kinds of things, etc.If it weren't for the fact that the three major parties in Wucheng's practice world all have the intention of defending, I really can't guarantee that there will be nosy people who will "subdue demons and demons".

I don't know if Sister Ziying has heard these rumors, anyway, she behaved the same in front of me as before, still smiling sweetly, gentle and pleasant.But I heard Axiu tell me privately that sister Ziying once secretly cried with a jade knife in her hand.Maybe I am the only one who knows that Sister Ziying is actually a woman who loves to cry a lot, because she has so many grievances in her heart that she has no place to express them. (Xu Gongzi’s note: This grievance also includes—why did she get the least votes last time when she voted for “Ishi Ye’s Love”?)

Deng Feng, the head of the Zhongnan School, also asked Mr. Zhang to bring back a letter, and handed it over to He Feng, the eldest disciple of Zhengyimen, who guards Zhenren Zhengzheng.The content of the letter probably said that the dispute with Ling Shixiaozheng was purely a misunderstanding. At the same time, it also euphemistically mentioned that Qiye's departure was related to Han Ziying, and now Shi Ye is getting involved with Han Ziying again. wait…….Hefeng Zhenren has always been known for his cold face, and he was not polite, so he wrote a reply letter in front of Mr. Zhang.The letter wrote: "The family teacher has explained, Ishino and Zhengyi have not yet decided on the status of master and apprentice, and their private affairs are not involved in their own business. If their actions violate the world's precepts, our generation of practitioners should punish them together, and Zhengyi has a duty Bear the brunt." He Feng neither spoke for me nor gave Dengfeng face.

Mr. Zhang also brought Qixin a letter from the head of the door, telling her not to go back to the mountain, but to stay in Wucheng. On the one hand, she can get acquainted with various experts, and on the other hand, she can pay attention to Qiye's whereabouts.Soon after the Zongmen Conference, Qi Xin reunited with his fellow sects.When Qixin saw Mr. Zhang, she also wrote a note and asked him to bring it back. It was not for Mr. Feng, but for me.A few words were written on the note: "The world is dangerous, and Ziying is weak. The demon girl is kind and innocent, and Zhong Nan should be ashamed. With the current situation, if Shi Zhenren betrays her again and abandons her, Han Ziying will have no foothold and no hope of burying her." land!"

Beside the hexagram booth at the head of Fenghuang Bridge, when Mr. Zhang handed me the note of Qixin, I was silent for a long time.Mr. Zhang is the most knowledgeable person I know. After thinking about it, I asked him: "Mr. Zhang, you also read this note. What do you think I should do?"

Mr. Zhang gave me a meaningful look: "Qi Xin understands better than you. What happens to Han Ziying depends entirely on you. Nowadays, there are so many practitioners in the world who regard her as a lewd and enchanting woman. As long as the romantic wants to get close to Fangze, the guardian will stare at her. As long as she is not careful, troubles may happen, and even no matter what she does, troubles will come to her door. And she has entrusted you in the world. If you abandon her, No matter what the reason is, she really can't gain a foothold in the world... Don't ask me how I know, I have seen her cry for you with my own eyes, she was born as a monster, and she will not cry for the world. All for you."

Mr. Zhang has never heard of Sister Ziying's "sacrifice oath", but after some analysis, it is equally thorough.He explained Qixin's note, but did not answer my words.I asked again: "Mr. Zhang, I understand what you said! I want to ask what should I do?"

Mr. Zhang: "That depends on you. If you don't want to harm her, you have to be careful with your words and deeds. If you accidentally make a mistake, or have something to criticize, others will definitely blame Han Ziying. I think this is the result of being bewitched by the witch."

"It's not fair! If I'm wrong, why should I blame Miss Ziying?"

Mr. Zhang: "How can there be so many fair things in the world? How has the world ever been fair to other people?... Do it for yourself, then Han Ziying is a good woman and will not betray you. You really shouldn't abandon her or betray her."

"I know that, but..."

Mr. Zhang: "But you have someone you love in your heart, right? ... The right and wrong of love is not that simple. If there is no harm to each other, it is tolerable! Think about it for yourself, I can't say too much Clear. But you don’t have to worry too much, the Reverend Shouzheng himself excused you, and it meant to protect you. In this way, at least half of the practitioners in the world would not dare to provoke you easily.”

"Then there's still a little half left?"

Mr. Zhang smiled wryly: "Other people will find it difficult to trouble you. Don't forget that there is a master with great powers beside you.... Entering and exiting the demon-subduing formation is like no one's land, not afraid of invisible thorns, capable Breaking through the seven emotions combined strikes, the wonder is simply unimaginable, I am afraid that it is not easy for a real person to keep upright. If he is willing to help you, it may be someone else who is in trouble. You are a person who has a rare doom and a rare Fortune."

"You mean Mr. Feng, how many times have you met him?"

Mr. Zhang: "My ears are almost calloused by this name, but I have never had a chance to meet him. I just passed by each other a few times. Zhang Zhi has dealt with him a lot."

"You haven't seen him yet? I thought you had already met!"

Mr. Zhang: "If this kind of reclusive expert doesn't take the initiative to show up, it's really hard to point it out in person. But for Zhang Zhi, that's all there is to it. Who told me that I only have such a daughter? Shi Ye, I asked you last time. You haven't helped me with the matter, you promised to ask him to meet me."

Mr. Zhang really entrusted me to do this matter, but then there was a big disturbance in Qi Yun Temple. Feng Junzi and Zhang Zhi got in touch by himself, so I thought I was unnecessary.Unexpectedly, Mr. Zhang and Junzi Feng never met.Mr. Zhang is also interesting. He wants to meet Mr. Feng, so he can ask Zhang Zhi to make an appointment. Why must he go through me?It must be because of Zhang Zhi's affairs. It is depressing enough to think about it. With his wealth and status, there should be many people to choose from when he wants to choose a son-in-law.But in this situation, there is no one to choose except Feng Junzi, so of course you have to look carefully.well!It's just that Feng Junzi's situation is more complicated.

I nodded in agreement, thought for a while and asked again: "He seems to be very busy these days, and he disappears after school. It's best to set a time and place so that I can greet him in advance."

Mr. Zhang: "The decoration and preparations of Zhiwei Building are all ready. It is scheduled to open next Tuesday, which is New Year's Day. Then we will come to try Han Ziying's craftsmanship one day in advance. How about the afternoon of the 31st? I heard that Zhang Zhi set up a restaurant on the second floor. A gentleman's residence, I will wait there to see what kind of gentleman he is?"
