Brother, did you confess today?

Ruan Zhou had heard someone tell the story of Zhuang Zhou's dream of a butterfly before, and that was what Yue Manxing told him.

He read few books, and occasionally turned to one, and was extremely curious.

Yue Manxing thought about it, and said from the vicissitudes of his age: "Actually, sometimes, who can tell whether he is a butterfly or Zhuang Zhou? It seems absurd at first glance, but if you really experience it, you will..."

At that time, Ruan Zhou was holding the book: "Is it going to be like this?"

"I don't know that I am a guest in my dream..."

Yue Manxing paused every word, and suddenly laughed again: "It's a long time to be happy."

Ruan Zhou couldn't understand, but he always felt that this was not something he would experience, so he stopped thinking about it.

But now, he woke up in the darkness, his body was covered in blood, only a lamp in the distance illuminated him, and the silence made people feel flustered.

He was flustered right now.

Ruan Zhou struggled to get up, but the chains dragged him back again, rubbing his elbows again and again, and finally he fell powerlessly on the ground.

The cell is not, the smell of decay and damp is very similar to the dungeon he used to live in.

When the past experience returned to its place, he suddenly realized how ridiculous he was.

Self-righteous persistence, like porcelain, fell to the ground, leaving only fragments.

In the past, there was always a layer of fog between him and the world, and only his mother's words could make him somewhat real.

So for this truth, he is willing to do anything.

Because it has been like this since I was a child, because in the dark days, there is only my mother.

But now I know that he has met many, many people.

The chivalrous man who begged him to spare his wife and children, the mother who committed suicide first, the child who was hidden for a chance.

And Manzhi who was the first to take him home and smiled at him seriously.

This is the first person who left the name in his heart.

It was he who ruined everything.

Manzhi once said that she was older than him, so she called her sister.

Ruan Zhou didn't shout back then.

Now, I no longer have the right to shout.

In the past, he didn't care about the wood ghost girl's hatred and pursuit, but now the more he thinks about it, the more he finds it difficult to speak.

The mother he had always respected in the past turned out to have a husband and son, and it turned out that he was just a bastard buried in a dungeon.

With the sound of footsteps, Ruan Zhou stood up reluctantly, and looked outside in the dim light.

Still the saint.

The saint looked at him, slowly squatted down, and looked at him carefully: "Tsk, now you finally have a little more humanity in your eyes."

Ruan Zhou pursed his lips and lowered his eyes to avoid her eyes.

The saint said to herself: "How does it feel to think of everything? Do you feel that everything in the past is like a joke, do you feel confused and unknown? Ha, that's right, otherwise, the meaning of my doing these things is where?"

"What's the point of me trying so hard to figure out the meaning of the Forgetful Dust Gu?"

Ruan Zhou was silent for a long time before he said dryly, "Who am I?"

Why did the saint unravel his Gu, and why do these people seem to know him well?

The saint smiled: "I said, you should call me sister."

Ruan Zhou's closed eyes suddenly began to tremble, and when he opened them, there was only broken light.

"Wangchen Gu was taken away by He Yuankai from Yangyin Sect, from me...or from our mother."

Ruan Zhou couldn't understand these words, he couldn't understand them, and even felt terrible.

"That good father of yours lied to our mother, got married, and took the position of hall master. Ha, but when the demon slaying conference came, he was about to give up and stole you away, tsk tsk, I couldn't think of it. .”

"Your current mother, of course it's not your mother... Guess why that man took you away alone? Because he looks down on women from the bottom of his heart, and thinks that women are stupid and easy to deceive from the bottom of his heart, and that I'm useless. So I took you away."

The saint finished these words as if nothing had happened, and then laughed wantonly: "But I have to thank him, otherwise, how could I make you suffer so much?"

Ruan Zhou opened his mouth, but didn't say anything.

He had never met his nominal father before, so naturally he couldn't talk about any relationship.

What the saint said had less impact than the fact that he was not born by his mother.

"……What do you want to do?"

The saint raised her eyebrows unexpectedly, and then felt surprised: "That's right, you are the same as that man, don't think that everything you did in the past was due to the effect of Gu... You are a cold-blooded and ruthless scourge. The scourge that mother suffers and misses so much!"

"Mother……?"

"Shut up! You don't deserve to call her mother!"

Ruan Zhou seemed to be frightened, and gradually lost his voice.

"If it wasn't for your father, why would my mother suffer for nearly 20 years? If it wasn't for you, how could my mother still miss you?"

"You better remember, you deserve it."

"What you owe us is yours to pay... Going to kill He Yuankai is the last thing you can do."

Ruan Zhou seemed to understand what she wanted to do.

It turned out that I just changed the person who controlled me, and I was still someone else's marionette.

Just like in the past, he had to.

There is no choice.

……

When Xu Xiangfei stepped into Linchuan County again, he found that there were many people around him.

He didn't startle the snake, he just took a few people back to the previous inn.

The inn actually returned the room to them, and the clerk smiled: "Why don't you say you know the He family? Our shopkeeper said that we can send some food to you."

The He family is well known in Linchuan County, and these shops naturally want to curry favor.

Xu Xiangfei smiled, gave him some money, and then called Yue Manxing and Jiang Pu back to their room to rest.

Jiang Pu let out a sigh: "This guy with the surname He has done a good deed."

Actually pay them rent.

But it also shows that leader He expected them to come back.

Yue Manxing was so sad that he felt tired everywhere, so he went back to his room to rest after saying a few words hastily.

Xu Xiangfei could understand, just looked at his back and sighed slightly.

Jiang Pu clicked his tongue again: "I said...you really don't need to think of him as weak, just because you can't figure it out. You're used to it over and over again, so he can't figure it out."

"What do you mean, let me ignore it?" Xu Xiangfei also shook his head and smiled, "Oh, I don't know who took Man Xing out to relax last night."

Jiang Pu refused to admit it: "I don't know who is leaning on others all day long."

And he's not pulling people to relax!

It's about wanting someone's watered head to dry out.

"Hey, I also know that even if I don't say it, Man Xing will figure it out slowly."

But, Xu Xiangfei still wants Yue Manxing to know that he is not alone.

The letter to Yue's family has been sent, and Yue Mingjing will know everything soon.

This is cruel to Yue Manxing, when everything resets, he seems to have nowhere to go.

But he was also willing to make a break, not to cut off the relationship between father and son, but just not wanting to lie to Yue Mingjing again.

Jiang Pu also shrugged, and stayed in the inn to guard Yue Manxing according to Xu Xiangfei's order.

And when Xu Xiangfei and Zhu Xuguang went for a walk in the street, the matter of Young Master He caused a lot of uproar. After half a month, many people still brought it up.

It's just talking about how pitiful Young Master He is, the He family suffered inexplicably, and they worked hard to rescue the young master.

Because of this, Young Master He never went out again.

This is really new to the people of Linchuan County. Who doesn't know that Mr. He likes to make friends, and also likes to go to teahouses to listen to books and drink flower wine in brothels. Now he can't do anything.

Having suffered such an innocent disaster, Young Master He has grown up.

Xu Xiangfei said softly: "How is it?"

Zhu Xuguang frowned: "Some people are missing."

There were fewer people following them, but there were still people following Xu Xiangfei.

Zhu Xuguang snorted softly: "The evil heart never dies."

If the Huailu Cult just wanted to get Yue Manxing back, he wouldn't do the same.

Obviously these people not only want to find Yue Manxing, but also continue to target Xu Xiangfei.

It's not so easy to get the best of both worlds.

Xu Xiangfei: "Hey, don't act rashly, you scared Man Xing last time."

He didn't blame Zhu Xuguang for attacking the people who had been chasing and killing them.

It was also that person who did it in the snow back then, but Xu Xiangfei and Zhu Xuguang were still too young at that time, with outnumbered enemies, it was really powerless.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be forced into the snow, trying to find another way to make a living.

To blame, Xu Xiangfei really couldn't blame Zhu Xuguang.

Doesn't he know the temperament of the younger brother?

"If he hasn't returned yet, he will teach to Huailu. From then on, he and us will only be opposites."

Xu Xiangfei pinched his arm: "... talking nonsense again, you don't know who Man Xing is, and I don't know? He is, is, how should I put it..."

Just a little timid about the past.

Yue Manxing was very afraid of going through what happened on the other side again. It is estimated that after Zhu Xuguang got rid of his obsession and returned to the world, the first thing he did was to kill the Huailu Sect.

Anyway, the Huailu Sect is indeed closely related to Yue Manxing, so it's no wonder he isn't afraid.

Wait, think about it this way...

Xu Xiangfei murmured: "Is Man Xing older than me..."

Zhu Xuguang: "?"

Is brother crazy?

The more Xu Xiangfei thought about it, the more entangled he became, and there was no smile on his face. He took a paper fan and slapped his palms: "This, this, this..."

Can he pinch Man Xing's face wantonly?

He didn't pay much attention to it before, but now when he thinks about it, he feels that nothing is right.

Sure enough, the scriptures are all lies.

Zhu Xuguang let him tangle himself, only pulled him aside, and gently hugged him: "Senior brother, look over there."

Xu Xiangfei followed and looked over: "Hey, that's it?"

Not far away, a woman in satin blue was carrying a basket, looked left and right for a while, then lowered her head to pretend to choose jewelry, looked up from time to time, and then immediately walked a few steps forward to another stall.

It looks like it's stalking people.

But they had seen this woman before.

When he was investigating in the He Mansion before, Xu Xiangfei saw her crying in front of Young Master He's room, and went to the corner to offer incense and pray, very pious.

Xu Xiangfei took Zhu Xuguang with his back, went up to the tall building together, leaned on the railing to look out, watched the figure go around and around, and finally entered the shop, and only went out in the direction of He's house after noon.

Zhu Xuguang thought for a while: "The He family sent her to follow?"

Xu Xiangfei laughed loudly when he heard the words: "If she was sent by the He family, I would personally come to the door and let him arrest her. This girl obviously doesn't know how to follow people."

It's not leader He, could it be that this maid was sent by someone else?

After thinking about it, there is only...

"Young Master He."

……

Young Master He paced back and forth in the room, looked out anxiously, and jumped on the bed when the other maids came to knock on the door, and said a few times: "I, I have a headache, don't come in!"

The maids were at a loss and could only complain: "I don't know when Sister Han will come back. The young master is waiting to eat the peach blossom cakes from Sishangxuan. Why did the journey take so long?"

"What's the rush, isn't it coming back?"

Qinghan stepped into the door, and nodded the foreheads of these little girls one by one: "Young master is self-willed, just let me persuade you."

Young Master He had heard her voice a long time ago, so he only pretended to close his eyes and moan on the bed. When Qinghan entered the room and closed the door, and put the basket on the table, he jumped off the bed: "Sister Han, I'll let you inquire What's going on...how?"
