no puppet

Cheng Daofeng took Kang Wen all the way down to the foot of Fuze Mountain. During this period, Cheng Daofeng couldn't even walk steadily on the road, so he had to be supported by Kang Wen to move forward slowly—especially because most of the dirt roads in the mountain had been burned by fire, and they were everywhere. Dry branches and rubble mixed with sparks rolled down, hitting people from calf to ankle from time to time with tingling pain.

At the back, Xie Hengyan was holding Wu Nian, and was also supported by the people of Narong Mansion along the road. At the end of the journey, he simply let go, threw the two of them back to the ground, and shouted to Kang Wen with a little dissatisfaction: "Young Master Kang, let's go Didn’t the mountain come here to put out the fire? What are you guys doing here?”

"To shut up!"

Cheng Daofeng reprimanded loudly, and the young people behind him had no choice but to keep silent.

Kang Wen also had doubts about Master's actions. After a while, he finally couldn't help asking: "Master, what happened? Don't we give priority to fighting the fire?"

"Fire fighting?" Cheng Daofeng said with a cold smile, "Think about how to save yourself first!"

Kang asked, "Master, Master?"

After saying this, Cheng Dao Feng raised his hand to prop it away with a talisman, during which he avoided the fire and rushed to the sky, but stopped suddenly in the middle of the surge, and was touching a completely transparent magical knot a few feet above the sky Suddenly, there was a sharp and ear-piercing sound in the world!

"It's an enchantment!"

Everyone was shocked and said: "Where is this enchantment from?...Why didn't I see it when I came here?"

"This is the barrier to seal the mountain." Cheng Daofeng looked indifferent, as if he had foreseen all this, and said with a sarcasm, "I expected this to be the case. What is that old fox Rong Pan thinking? clear?"

"Seal the mountain barrier...?" Kang Wen murmured, "What do you mean? Mr. Rong...why did he order the mountain to be closed?"

The raging fire and thick smoke permeated the mountain without stopping at all. At that time, Chengdao was standing at the foot of the mountain with his hands behind his back, his eyes were condensed, and he didn't say a word for a long time.

Such dead silence made Kang Wen feel deeply uneasy, he fixedly looked at Cheng Daofeng's back, and called out involuntarily: "Master..."

"Rong Pan intends to get rid of Fang Yan, but he knew my thoughts in advance, and he expected that I would strike before him." Cheng Daofeng said, "So he simply did nothing, just stood behind silently and enjoyed the fisherman's fortune Li... that's enough."

"Why?" Kang asked in a daze, "How could Rong Pan know what Master is planning?"

Cheng Daofeng didn't speak, he just turned his head and took a deep look at Kang Wen.

After a while, Chengdao Fengfang slowed down his voice, and asked Kang in his most gentle and peaceful tone in the past 20 years, "Apprentice."

Kang Wen froze, and before he had time to reply, Cheng Daofeng said in a hoarse voice: "All these years... I'm sorry for you as a teacher."

Kang Wen hurriedly said: "Where is the master talking about! Disciple, I..."

"Up to now, you, Mi Ling, and...Chen'er, you have all grown up. In my life, I have nothing to look forward to. I only hope that the three of you can live in peace until old age. You don't need to work hard to repay anything." Cheng Daofeng said in a calm voice, "Now that the remnant soul is gone, I have no regrets in this life, and it's time...to go with her."

"Master, what did you say?" Kang Wen opened his eyes wide, almost unbelievable, "Who are you going with?!!"

"Kang Wen, what I said now, word by word, you must remember in your heart, and you must not forget it lightly." Cheng Daofeng didn't answer, only looked at Kang Wen's bewildered facial expression, and then said in a concentrated voice, "First, leave Fuze Behind the mountain, you absolutely must not go back to the Biyu Mansion, and then you only need to go around to the outside of the town, use talisman paper to transmit sound, and call your brothers and sisters to flee with you."

Kang asked: "I..."

"Secondly, if you can't escape, once the Rong Mansion takes any of the three of you back, don't act on your will and confront those arrogant people in the Rong Mansion."

Cheng Daofeng paused for a moment, then said in a deep voice: "Third, since you're gone, don't come back!"

"Master!" Kang asked, knelt down on the ground with a thump, and couldn't help saying with panic all over his face, "Master, you don't want me anymore?!"

"It's not because I don't want you, it's because Rong Pan's despicable old man, who is ambitious, planned to destroy my Biyu Mansion early in the morning to start a family-this is the infinite glory created by our ancestors for nearly a hundred years. It has to fall into my hands!"

After Cheng Daofeng finished speaking, Kang Wen's dizzy pupils finally gathered together and shrank in one place, and couldn't help trembling like a surge——

The next moment, Cheng Daofeng opened his big hand, exhausted the last remaining strength in his body, and swung his palm on Kang Wen's defenseless shoulder.

At the same time that the spell took effect, Kang Wen staggered suddenly, and went directly from one end of the barrier to the other. It is the distance of an enchantment!

"Master!"

Kang Wen still finds it unbelievable that now, at the moment of life and death, Cheng Daofeng is willing to give up his own life in exchange for the safety of his fellow seal—after all, if he says he will go with others, who is he going to go with?Could it be that in this life when one becomes enlightened, is there someone who has never been said, but is always cared about from the bottom of his heart?

Kang Wen was worried and anxious, and when he raised his eyes again, he saw the inner circle of the barrier on the opposite side. Among the people in the Rong residence behind Cheng Daofeng, there was a man with a fierce look in his eyes. He suddenly pulled out the sharp long knife at his waist, and suddenly turned towards Enlightenment strikes at the unsuspecting place on the back!

"Master, be careful!"

Kang Wen drank suddenly, but unexpectedly, the voice outside the barrier couldn't be transmitted into the barrier at all. When the rest of the people around reacted, even Xie Hengyan, who was weak and closed, suddenly opened his eyes wide, watching the crowd in the crowd. The blade pierced the sky, and swung straight towards Cheng Daofeng's back near his left heart!

"Master—"

Such a sudden knife was beyond the imagination of everyone present, even Cheng Daofeng himself hadn't expected it. The point of the knife pierced his back abruptly, and made a series of sharp sounds when it rubbed against the fabric. Caught off guard, the blood sprayed all over his face, and when he opened his mouth to breathe out, Cheng Daofeng staggered in front of him, and knelt down facing the direction of the barrier, splashing sparks everywhere.

Kang Wen's terrified eyes were covered with layers of almost distorted bloodshot eyes.Because immediately after that, the man who had just drawn the sword walked out from the billowing smoke, tore off the mask used to cover his facial features, and gradually revealed the familiar figure in front of him through the fire, that is...

"Housekeeper Huo?!" Kang Wen's voice was hoarse, and he was close to losing his voice at one point, "Why...why, it's you?!"

While the fire was burning, Huo Shitang was holding a long knife and pretending to be the guard of the Rong Mansion. At that time, the tip of the knife pointed directly at Cheng Daofeng's back, his eyes were cold, and there was no superfluous expression on his pale face.

"..." Xie Hengyan struggled to open his almond eyes, tried to get up several times on the way, but fell down and sat down overwhelmed, facing Chengdaofeng not far away from the blood-stained place, his nostrils were filled with a frantically rising fishy smell.

At the same time, under the leadership of Huo Shitang, the people in the Rong Mansion, who were following Kang Wen closely and at their command, surrounded Cheng Daofeng and Xie Hengyan in the center, tremblingly raising the other blades at their waists , reaching between the necks of the two of them.

"Why, why?"

Kang Wen's throat was throbbing, and in that short moment, he could no longer speak a word.He tried to put his hand on the edge of the barrier in front of him, where dark red blood drops fell, one drop after another, almost dyeing the faint light of the barrier red.Even so, Kang Wen and his master couldn't be touched no matter what.

Not long ago, Cheng Daofeng had Yin Chun stabbing him with a sword, leaving an old wound in his heart that could not heal. Now that Huo Shitang's knife came from his back, Kang Wen didn't even dare to think about it. How long will it last.

But at this moment, what Cheng Daofeng was thinking about was obviously not the same question as Kang Wen, because Kang Wen could see the endless pain, darkness, remorse, and many emotions on his face... even a trace of imperceptible relieved.

That's right, relief.

At that moment, Kang Wen almost thought it was a mistake.

However, this frozen time didn't last long. After a brief moment of silence, Huo Shitang didn't withdraw his knife, but stepped forward tremblingly, and pressed the bloody knife tip against Cheng Daofeng's face.

"Master." His voice was low and hoarse, full of complex emotions of helplessness but grief and anger, "Do you still remember that it was such a winter 25 years ago. Your daughter was born in that snowy and windy place. In the middle of the night, in the blink of an eye, for more than ten years, she finally fulfilled your wish and grew up little by little."

"A few days ago, during the New Year's Eve, the lady suddenly asked me a question. She asked where my hometown and family are."

Huo Shitang wiped away the blood on the tip of the knife, seemingly meaningless, but in fact, he said to Cheng Daofeng word by word clearly: "I think the answer to this question is only clear in your heart, master."

"Housekeeper! Butler, what are you talking about!!" Kang Wen was sweating profusely, and couldn't help yelling at him, "Why have you been with Master for so many years, and now you suddenly want to help the Rong family, join hands Did you get rid of my master?!"

"You also know that I have been by my master's side and have served him with all my heart for so many years!" Huo Shitang suddenly raised his voice, "When he buried Huo Ying alive with his own hands for that mere monster, did he ever think about how I should be?" ?”

Who is Huo Ying? !

Kang Wen was full of grief, indignation and doubts. At this moment, he turned his head to look at Cheng Daofeng, but Cheng Daofeng avoided his sight and closed his eyes in pain, as if unwilling to look back at some unknown past.

"Your master, the well-known Cheng Daofeng, once disregarded the opposition of everyone in the Biyu Mansion before the imperial court issued the ban on demons, and married a demon girl who made her own seal by refining herself as his wife!"

Huo Shitang said mercilessly: "Afterwards, the Rong family sent people to investigate, and he knew that he could not escape the disaster. In order to save the life of the witch in this chaos, he chose a trick to hide it from the world, and specially found someone who was related to the witch. A commoner woman with a similar appearance burned her face with her own hands, branded her with a scar equal to that of a monster, and lied to Rong Pan that she was Fang Yan, the devil who broke into the mansion!"

"Cheng Daofeng, you really have a clever trick!" Huo Shitang said, his old face covered with fine lines couldn't help crying, "Back then, Rong Pan made an alliance with you, and he really took your faith The nonsense lies have been spread to the outside world for more than [-] years—poor my little sister Huo Ying, you and Rong Pan were buried alive in a pit on the [-]th birthday that year, and burned to the point that there was not even ashes left , and later told me that Huo Ying was killed by a puppet..."

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

This part is the final reversal, I am afraid that some people will not understand, so I will sort it out——

In the beginning, Cheng Daofeng avoided talking about his wife, but when others asked him, he immediately turned his face.

The first turning point was when Rong Yin pointed out that Qu Rongyi was killed by a puppet, and Cheng Daofeng was too sad so he didn’t want to mention the past.

The second turning point is when Rong Shilian pointed out that Qu Rongyi was killed by Cheng Daofeng (this time there are too many subjective factors, Rong Shilian is telling the truth that she "saw" and also has a certain degree of selfishness)

The third turning point is the final truth. In fact, Cheng Daofeng did not kill Qu Rongyi with his own hands. When the Rong Mansion went to the Biyu Mansion to investigate, Cheng Daofeng's first reaction was not to destroy the corpse, but to have a crooked mind and want to kill Qu Rongyi. Rong Yi hides.

I don't deny that his methods are cruel, but Chengdao Fengai Qu Rongyi has never been fake. As for who killed Fang Yan's female body, the next chapter will find the answer.

Then he said why Rong Pan knew the truth and helped hide it for so many years?

——Actually, he didn't know, he was the same as Rong Shilian, when he saw the man Cheng Daofeng killed, he thought he had killed his wife, of course he had doubts afterwards, but Rong Pan was a deadhead, in his eyes Merit is more important than anything else, so he chose a peaceful way and chose not to pursue Cheng Daofeng's little concealment. Why not do it if he can get a reward and form an alliance?
