Regarding the woman mentioned by the master, Zuo Feng guessed early on that it was Zhuang Yu. With such appearance and temperament, such kind heart, and such superb medical skills, Zuo Feng had these clues
If you can't guess again, that would be weird.
Seeing that Zuo Feng had already completely guessed the person he was talking about, Teng Xiaoyun also smiled and nodded gently, and then continued to speak.
"This time the operation failed, the organization was not surprised at all, but my defection made the senior management very angry. And later I found out that your Aunt Zhuang chose to be with me at that time, and she took a huge risk. She was
The Xuanwu Empire also has a deep background. If there is a chance, let her tell you her story."
At this point, Teng Xiaoyun's expression began to become a little lonely, which was a kind of sadness of life and death. Zuo Feng could imagine that in the face of such great pressure at that time, they both chose to come together bravely, but today it is
Facing separation will be so painful for Master.
Zuo Feng said somewhat unbearably: "Master, I'd better take you back to Yancheng. Even if Aunt Zhuang's medical skills can't cure the poison on your body, there should be a way to extend your life."
Teng Xiaoyun obviously struggled a little because of Zuo Feng's words, but after a moment, his eyes dimmed again. He frowned and shook his head. When he spoke again, it was as if there was something foreign in his throat.
"Another reason why I don't go back is that I don't want her to see me like I am now. No matter what, I will still die, and she will blame herself and feel guilty because she can't remove the poison from me.
I am a mortal person, why should I go back and make her sad. Alas..."
After speaking, Teng Xiaoyun let out a long sigh. After a while, his mood became as calm and calm as before, and he spoke again.
"Zhuang Yu and I couldn't stay in the Xuanwu Empire at that time, let alone go back to the Fengtian Dynasty. The two of us discussed over and over again and had to go to the ancient wilderness country in the west. We were rounded up and hunted down several times by the Fengtian Dynasty at first, but we
The two finally overcame many dangers and entered the ancient wilderness country."
"Everything might have passed so peacefully, but everything changed because of my decision. Although she never blamed me, I blame myself to this day."
Speaking of this, Teng Xiaoyun raised his head slightly. The sky at this time was blue and cloudless, but Teng Xiaoyun's eyes had no focus, and the corners of his mouth trembled uncontrollably. This regretful emotion left
This was the first time I saw wind on the face of this strong middle-aged man.
"I was still too young at that time. Although I hope to live anonymously with your Aunt Zhuang, my heart still longs for the illusory ultimate cultivation. If I were to choose again now,
Even if that shocking cultivation level is within my reach, I can give it up." After saying this, Teng Xiaoyun paused for a while before continuing.
"It is a secret realm. There are many legends about the origin of that secret realm, but I believe that none of those legends are true. Because those who make up legends about the origin of this secret realm have never obtained a single bit of the secret realm. That secret realm existed in ancient times.
The territory of the Wilderness Kingdom appeared very suddenly. It is said that there was nothing there before, but it suddenly appeared like this. I was young and energetic at the time, and because this secret place was located in the Ancient Wilderness Country, I ignored her.
Discourage exploration. Huh...huh..."
As he spoke, Teng Xiaoyun began to pant, as if he had difficulty breathing. Seeing Teng Xiaoyun so weak, Zuo Feng felt a little unbearable and said: "Master, you take a rest first, I will go to those men in gray.
Take a look at the place where the killers went, and you might be able to find some medicine that can temporarily suppress the poison you were poisoned by."
Teng Xiaoyun waved his hand and signaled Zuo Feng to sit there and not move. Then he leaned back slightly and said, "Don't go, the medicine is gone. The medicine was taken just before they slept in the open last night."
Give me the last medicine. You must not go there again. The men in gray and their companions you provoked may be around there at this time. And if the giant wolf survives, with your current strength, if
There is no chance of survival at all, so let me finish telling this story."
Although Zuo Feng was sad in his heart, he gritted his teeth and nodded fiercely. Seeing Zuo Feng nodding in agreement, Teng Xiaoyun reluctantly showed a smile on his face, and then he spoke again.
"I was very careful when I arrived at that secret place. I didn't dare to show my face and was careful to check outside. This secret place is very weird. The periphery is covered by thick fog and smoke all year round, and unlike most mysterious places, there is only one road.
Entering, this secret realm can be entered from anywhere on the periphery."
"But as far as I know, most of the people who entered came back empty-handed, and some people disappeared completely without a trace. So I just had the intention of giving it a try, and I found a direction and entered inside based entirely on my feeling.
It’s very strange that I didn’t encounter many obstacles and entered the interior without any danger.”
"I remember that it was a palace. Later I thought that the palace should actually be a palace of a certain powerful man. I broke in by mistake and got a strange stone pier inside.
, the stone pier is located in the middle of the dormitory, and I could see how extraordinary the stone pier was at first sight."
Zuo Feng's heart trembled slightly when he heard this. It turned out that the stone pier was obtained by the master. Because it involved the secret of his own body, Zuo Feng listened more carefully to what the master said.
"No matter how many methods I tried, including instilling spiritual energy or chopping with weapons, I could not break this stone pier. There was not even a trace left on the surface of the stone pier. You know, with my cultivation at that time
, let alone a stone pier, or even a city gate made of fine iron and fine steel, there are ways to break it open, but facing this stone pier, I am helpless."
Teng Xiaoyun said and took a breath for a while before continuing.
"I couldn't break it open at the time, but I also knew that there was no place to stay there, so I prepared to leave as soon as possible. But just when I was about to leave, I made a new discovery. There was something on the side of the dormitory.
A compartment similar to a study room. I had already scanned the study room when I came in. There were two rows of very huge bookshelves. The books on the bookshelves had been there for an unknown number of years and were completely corroded and tattered."
"But just before I left, I discovered that there were two well-preserved books under the desk. I don't know what kind of material those two books were made of, but there was no trace of corrosion at all. This surprised me.
So I conveniently took the two books away. I was very careful when I left the secret realm, but some people noticed that I didn't leave empty-handed like the others."
Speaking of this, Teng Xiaoyun's tone gradually became a little excited, and the indifference on his face was slowly replaced by a kind of nervousness and solemnity. Zuo Feng could imagine that there must have been countless masters coming to snatch the secret treasure obtained by the master.
Fujisho Yun continued: "There were too many people chasing me that time, and there were many forces involved. Although I tried every means to hide my whereabouts, I was still found again and again."
"I took your Aunt Zhuang with me and lurked for a while. I thought the limelight was over, but soon someone came looking for us again. It was only then that I realized that I was really wrong. I should have listened to your Aunt Zhuang. Advice, but there is no regret medicine in this world. It was me who completely destroyed my original peaceful life."
Zuo Feng could hear how much regret and self-blame Teng Xiaoyun felt in his heart, and he couldn't help but sigh as well.
"Until one time Zhuang Yu and I hid in a small village in the mountains. We wanted to spend the rest of our lives anonymously, but I no longer even wanted to pay attention to the hateful Shidun. As for those two books, I only read them. After reading one of these books, I never wanted to touch it again. I was cruel to myself and also to these things that had brought me trouble."
When Zuo Feng heard this, he began to feel even more nervous, because if they could survive the crisis safely, they would not appear in Zuojia Village later. Zuo Feng couldn't help clenching his fists because of nervousness, and Teng Xiaoyun turned his head and glanced at Zuojia Village. With Feng's expression and clenched fists, he sighed and continued.
"It seems that you have guessed that that time we were eventually turned over by those people. That group of people was so heartless that they did not let go of any old, young, women, or children in the village. I was also completely furious, and I couldn't stand it anymore. I didn’t want to be chased away like a mouse and hide around, so at that time I thought that even if Zhuang Yu and I died here, we would have to recruit more people to support us.”
"But the enemy was too strong and there were too many of them. In the end, I was seriously injured by them and my cultivation was exhausted. This is why no matter how hard I tried, I could no longer break through the barrier of the tempering period."
Zuo Feng suddenly realized at this moment that this was the reason why Teng Xiaoyun's strength had always stayed in the tempering stage. He knew that there must be new changes in things, so he continued to listen carefully and only listened to Teng Xiaoyun's slow words.
"Just when I was seriously injured and on the verge of death, and Zhuang Yu was about to commit suicide and die with me, a voice seemed to come from the void, 'Hey, this is too vicious. I guess you have already had the consciousness to die. I'm just going to give you a ride'."
"After I finished speaking, I saw a white figure suddenly appear next to me. It was an old man with white beard and hair. He only glanced at me and Zhuang Yu, and our bodies were completely unable to move."
"Then in a few breaths, all the nearly a hundred warriors who surrounded and killed us died before our eyes. I didn't even see how he took action. Later, I asked the old man again and again about his origins, and the old man He didn’t say a word about his identity.”
"The old man just patted me lightly on the shoulder, and my injury began to slowly improve. He said to me, 'Although your life is fine, your cultivation will never break through the tempering stage for the rest of your life. .I don’t want to care about the secular affairs of the world anymore. Maybe this is because there is a connection between you and me. Destiny and destruction are all caused by cause and effect. I hope that the cause of today is not the result of another dynasty.'"
