【Xu Run】Laoshizi

Within two days, everyone cleaned up the battlefield, and made some handovers with the Nether Palace, and Xu Feng led the army.

He has made outstanding achievements this time, and he is a great hero who sealed the world of nothingness. When he returns to the world of heaven, he will definitely be rewarded, but Xu Feng doesn't care at all.In the last few days in the ghost world, except for convening his subordinates to discuss matters, he was always entangled with Runyu—the young lovers had just established a relationship, and they were passionate about each other. Holding hands and walking together, and sitting in one place when tired from walking, I also feel that my heart is full of joy and anticipation.As for the night, the two of them entangled all night long, looking like they would never die.

No one spoke, but both of them felt uneasy in their hearts.

Especially Xu Feng.He may not have thought clearly about his feelings, but as the return date approached, he gradually felt reluctance and anxiety, but he couldn't explain why he had these reluctance and worries.

Therefore, I can only hug Runyu and sing songs every night, pestering Runyu to give him a "peace of mind" with actions.

However, no matter how reluctant he is, it is impossible for the prince of the heaven to live in the ghost world forever, and the army finally broke out and returned to the court.

Above the Nine Clouds Palace, the Emperor of Heaven greatly praised Xu Feng, and the Queen of Heaven took the opportunity to speak and ask for the title of "God of War" for Xu Feng, and the Emperor of Heaven naturally agreed.As for Yu Jianjun Runyu, he only said "it's not bad".

Hearing this, Xu Feng felt a little unhappy for some reason, perhaps because he was getting older, he no longer valued the compliments of his father, emperor and mother god so much, but at this moment he could sense the difference between the emperor and the empress treated himself and his elder brother, He thought unhappily: Although I was the one who sealed the void world, I also contributed a lot to the jade cloth broken soul formation, so why did the emperor not mention it?

Thinking of this, he wanted to ask the Heavenly Emperor for the reward of Runyu.

"Father Emperor Rong Bing, this time I went to the ghost world, my brother also worked hard. If there is a reward for meritorious deeds, my brother should also be rewarded."

As soon as this remark came out, all the immortals were moved.

Tianhou smiled slightly and said: "The god of fire is right, Yu'er, the father, mother and god heard that you vomited blood for no reason on the battlefield, and they were very concerned and worried. Take good care of your wounds." Then he turned to the Emperor of Heaven and said, "Your Majesty, Yu'er has been weak since she was a child, and has a gentle temperament. The concubine is bold and wants to ask His Majesty not to send him to do such a dangerous thing in the future—it hurts her body. , It hurts in the mother's heart."

These words were very ingenious, not only blocked Xu Feng's mouth to ask for a reward for Runyu, but also secretly stepped on Runyu a few times-the enemy is currently vomiting blood for no reason, is it not because of lack of cultivation or what?The Emperor of Heaven didn't comment, but looked at the eldest son: "Is your body better?"

No matter how insensitive Xu Feng was, he could hear that one of these two people was playing sloppy eyes, and the other was pretending to be concerned about actually diverting the topic. , he must open his posture and scold that person so that he can't find Bei, and refuses to accept the battlefield; but these two are father, mother and god who dote on him, and it is because he has won the reward that it makes Runyu's difficult situation all the more , he felt somewhat embarrassed and somewhat resentful, and did not understand why the father and mother had completely different attitudes towards himself and his brother.

Is he not good?I think he is very good, he looks good, his voice is good, his character and knowledge are not bad at all!

Why...they just don't like him?

Perhaps at this moment, Xu Feng has vaguely noticed the answer in his heart, but he still refuses to admit it, that is: his father, mother and god are not naturally correct, they also have many flaws, and they will also be partial, but their biggest flaw is Yes... they are not good and generous people.

But it's hard enough for a young man to admit that his parents are ordinary people, but asking him to admit that his parents are mean people... wouldn't it be even more difficult?

He turned his face sideways and looked at Runyu secretly, but he didn't know that since he was very young, he had developed such a habit: whenever Taiwei and Tuyao's performance disappointed him, he would secretly look at it. Runyu, he pinned the disappointment of his parents on his elder brother, and Runyu filled the gaps of those disappointments, with gentleness, tolerance and tolerance-Xufeng can have what he is today, instead of following Tuo like Suihe Yao Yue's learning is getting worse and worse, and Runyu plays a very important role in it.

There are many moments like this, as long as Runyu looks at him with infinite comfort in his eyes, the flame of injustice rising in Xufeng's chest will be extinguished.

It's ridiculous that Tuyao thought that Runyu was the culprit who caused her and Xu Feng to disagree. In fact, she and Xu Feng had opposite natures. If no one comforted them, their mother and son would turn against each other sooner or later.

Xu Feng didn't know anything about it, but at this moment...he just wanted Runyu to look at him at this moment.

But Runyu looked at the nose and the heart, not looking at anyone, and said to the Queen of Heaven, "Thank you for your mother's concern. The old wounds are no longer serious."

Xu Feng felt like knocking over a seasoning bottle in his heart, with mixed feelings.

After the meeting was over, all the immortals left separately. Xufeng was surrounded by acquaintances in the court and couldn't move, but no one came forward to Runyu, and she left alone.Seeing that Runyu left without looking at herself, Xu Feng was very anxious and wanted to call out to him, but was surrounded by colleagues who came to congratulate him. She was overwhelmed and could only watch Runyu leave. .

He turned around in a hurry.

Today in the main hall, the Heavenly Empress is obviously partial to the eldest son and mean to the eldest son. Anyone with eyes can see it. If he is just one of the immortals, he can confidently denounce the Heavenly Empress for favoritism and pester Runyu to comfort him. The one who is partial, no matter what he says at this time, seems to be getting cheap and acting like a good boy.He didn't know what to say, and he was afraid that Runyu would leave just like that, feeling unhappy in his heart, and shouted loudly, "Runyu, don't leave!"

The people around him suddenly became quiet, and everyone had strange expressions: No matter how powerful you are, you shouldn't call your brother's name directly, this is even disregarding elders and younger ones.Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, then turned back to look at Runyu, only to see that man paused, just when everyone was guessing how angry he was and whether he would argue with Xu Feng in public, he came back to his senses, He asked calmly, "Is there anything else?"

Xu Feng was at a loss for words for a while, he had a lot of clinging and acting like a baby with Runyu in the ghost world, and he also said a lot of sweet words between lovers, but those words were too inappropriate to be heard by the public.He pushed aside the crowd, walked up to Runyu, and wanted to hold his hand: "Why didn't you wait for me..."

Runyu dodged his hand and said with a smile: "Second Hall is such a big man, don't ask your brother to hold hands." He said this softly and kindly. After hearing this, everyone felt that the two brothers were pulling each other since they were young. I'm used to it, now that my brother has grown up, I don't want to be the same as before.So everyone just smiled, not doubting him, but Xu Feng couldn't tell the feeling in his heart, the smile froze on his face, he lowered his voice, and said pitifully: "Brother, wait for me, let's go back to Xuanji Palace together ,OK?"

"I'm going back to Xuanji Palace, you should go back to Qiwu Palace," Runyu said, "Brother is not feeling well, so I'll drink tea with you sometime to reminisce about the old days, okay?"

As he spoke, he didn't care what Xu Feng said or did, he turned around and left, leaving Xu Feng standing where he was, as if a basin of cold water had been poured on his head.

It's over, he's mad at me, mad at me.

Xu Feng gritted her teeth and still chased after him: "Runyu, wait for me!" He chased outside the hall, where is there any trace of Runyu?

But Runyu was summoned to the Jingjing Pavilion as soon as she left the hall.

He loved reading when he was young, and he would spend his days in this mountain of books. At that time, there was no Xufeng, Taiwei found it interesting—this son was so similar to himself in this point—he felt a rare feeling. Fatherly love, Runyu is allowed to enter and leave the Provincial Economic Pavilion without restriction, and read anything he is interested in.

The Provincial Economic Pavilion has become the only warm memory for the father and son, and the burden it brings is far beyond the joy.For example, after that, every time Taiwei summoned Runyu to the Jingjing Pavilion, Runyu knew that Taiwei was going to use her again.

Sure enough, seeing him coming, Taiwei first asked him about his injury and vomiting of blood, and then healed him himself. After some human kindness, he seemed to be sure that the eldest son had been moved to tears, so he opened his mouth and said : "Just now in the palace... Father only rewarded Xu Feng and ignored you, do you think it's unfair?"

Runyu smiled, "Sharing the father's worries is a matter of duty, and there is no need for a reward."

But Taiwei shook his head and said: "If you have meritorious service, you must be rewarded, otherwise how can you be convincing?" He conjured up a long sword with a cold light: "This 'Shui Lingjian' is what I got in my early years, and you use it just right. , how about seeing it?"

There is no reason for Runyu to refuse, he held the "Shui Lingjian" in his hand and played with it for a while, this weapon collected by Taiwei was also tinged with a bit of ruthless chill just like him, he only felt a bone-chilling chill in his hand.But he suppressed the serious coldness, and when he looked up again, his eyes were full of joy.

Seeing Taiwei, he was secretly proud of himself, and suddenly he let out a long sigh.

Runyu pressed down the sword and asked, "Why is Father so worried?"

"It's nothing, it's just that I suddenly thought about the past and felt a little bit disappointed." The Emperor of Heaven smiled slightly, "You and your mother and concubine are very similar."

This is the first time in 1 years that Runyu heard him mention his biological mother, thinking that in order to provoke the relationship between the two sons, he even used this as a weapon, anyone would be a little bit cold.But in Runyu's ears, his heart moved inexplicably, as if being turned by a hot iron tongs - at first he felt a warmth, but the warmth soon turned into pain.

Concubine mother, he actually said "concubine mother".Who doesn't know that there are only queens in heaven, but no concubines?If Runyu's biological mother had been a concubine, he would not have been called a bastard for thousands of years in private.

An upright concubine, even if she is not favored, her son will not fall into this situation.

A person who has no memory related to his mother since he can remember, must have lost and doubted, and tried to inquire, wanting to find out clearly: Why did you leave me, why did you give birth to me and then abandoned me?But everyone in the heavenly world is tight-lipped, even he can't find any clues, as if there is an invisible wall around him, he is on this side, and the truth is on the other side.He has hit too many walls, and he has gradually learned not to try again.

But this matter in his heart can never be erased.The few short decades in the world gave him a glimpse of what it was like to have a mother, and after that, he couldn't give up easily.

"Mother" gradually became a shadow that could not be dispelled in his heart.

Hearing Taiwei's mention at this moment inevitably touched his shadow again, and he rarely felt emotional ups and downs - if this sentence fell into Xufeng's ears, it would be just a boring old tune repeated, but For Runyu, it caused countless ripples. This is probably the tip of the iceberg of the 10-year-old emperor's mind. Taiwei knows who to say to.

Seeing Runyu's expression moved slightly, he sighed again, showing a look of disappointment.

"If your mother and concubine are still here, seeing you today, you must be both happy and distressed."

Runyu lowered her eyes and remained silent.No matter how indifferent the person in front of him is, the connection between them is the proof of the existence of another woman who has disappeared.It was hard for him to deny the connection.

He is his father.his blood relatives.

however……

"Are you going to blame your father for being eccentric and treating you differently from Xu Feng?"

In this way, like the end of an illusion, with a "poof", the illusion of "father" was shattered, and the person in front of him became the emperor again.

A father loves all his children, some more and some less.

But the Emperor of Heaven doesn't love anyone, he only has power in his eyes, and only checks and balances.

Runyu still lowered her eyes, hiding all her emotions.

"Runyu...never."

"Never?" said the Emperor of Heaven, "Then why did Xu Feng call you just now, and you ignored him?" He smiled at Runyu knowingly, and said: "You have been close since childhood, but now you are not as neat as before. stuck together."

Runyu hesitated to speak, and after thinking for a while, said: "Xufeng used to be young, and always clamored for me to accompany him. I... I am the elder brother, so I can only accompany him."

What he meant was that he didn't have to accompany him - he had no choice but to depend on others.Now that I have grown up, my dissatisfaction with the oppressor has accumulated to the point where I no longer want to endure it.

But he never thought that maybe his "father emperor" is not "a front" in Runyu's eyes.

Taiwei was even more satisfied after listening, he could hear the subtext of Runyu's voice, which was exactly what he wanted.

"Father understands your intentions." He said, and suddenly said solemnly: "Runyu, are you willing to take up the burden of livelihood of these thousands of aquatic people and fight for them?"

Xu Feng waited in Xuanji Palace for half an hour before Runyu came back.

Nightmare Beast and Huier were sent to be taken care of by Laojun, and there was no one in Xuanji Palace. Xufeng touched here, looked there, and the more he looked at it, the more novel it became - the last time he came here, he was just Runyu's Brother, this time, this time, he is already Runyu's...

What about Runyu?He was in trouble again.Logically speaking, he should be Runyu's lover, after all they have done everything; but he hasn't confirmed Runyu's intention yet!In fact, he should have asked, but every time the words came to his lips, he swallowed them for some reason, as if a voice said in his mind, don't worry, next time.

It was as if he was resisting something in his heart - he knew, but at this moment, he was still a young man who had just grown up, even if it was the goal he set for himself, he would not give up lightly, feeling ashamed.

When he was in the ghost world, he even thought it was good to procrastinate for a day, but now he felt uneasy again, and he felt tormented if Runyu looked at him less.All of this seems to be a repeat of the sleepless night 3000 years ago. Unexpectedly, after 3000 years, he has grown taller and his cultivation level has also increased, but he still needs Runyu's attention so much...

The more Xu Feng thought about it, the more he felt suffocated. He was also cheap. When he saw a stack of books beside the bed, he rowed to the floor and let out a bad breath.

Unexpectedly, the book fell to the ground, with just one page spread out. Xu Feng glanced over and seemed to catch two words, "spiritual cultivation"... These two words kept flashing in his mind, and he couldn't bear it anymore. Looking around for no one, he picked up the book and started reading.

He knew what spiritual practice was, he was just curious how Runyu would look at this kind of thing.

After looking through it, I realized that the book beside Runyu’s pillow was a book on cultivating the primordial spirit. The more Xu Feng looked at it, the more something went wrong, and then he realized that it might be a forbidden book, which mentioned some spiritual cultivation techniques, which were not normal. The method of blending spiritual power, but the art of plundering.The more he looked at it, the more ugly his face became, and finally he couldn't bear it anymore, and he closed the book abruptly.

Runyu hasn't seen this yet.Surely, he said to himself, he hadn't seen it yet.

What a broken book!The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and he felt that his eyes were not clean, and flames sprang up from his fingertips, burning the book.The spiritual fire was so hot that it burned to ashes in the blink of an eye.

Xu Feng sat back on the bed again.

No no no.What will happen...?

He was thinking wildly, when Runyu pushed the door, Runyu came back.

Xu Feng was overjoyed, and rushed out the door. Runyu was turning around to close the door. She raised her eyes and saw him. The moment her eyes met, Xu Feng thought of a lot, each of which made him look like a reckless man and a coward.

He opened his mouth, but no sound came out.

Runyu laughed.When he smiled, his brows and eyes were curved, and the desolate and lonely courtyard suddenly softened.

"How did you come?"

he said softly.
