Lin Feng arrived at Mount Qingyang. At the foot of the mountain, Zhu Yi, Shi Tianhao, and the others were already waiting for him.
Knowing that they were going to visit Zhu Yi's mother's grave, not to mention the little Shi Tianhao, even the noisy Tuntun stood there Silently.
Lin Feng saw Zhu Yi, slightly nodding his head: "Tianhao has already told your master about your exam results. You've done well, I'm sure your mother in the underworld will also feel gratified."
Zhu Yi said, "Disciple originally wanted to wait for the autumn examination and get a good result before coming to pay my respects and comfort mother's spirit in heaven. But thinking that I haven't come to visit mother's grave for many years, I was afraid that mother's grave was messy, so I couldn't help but come today."
Lin Feng nodded. "That's what I should do."
Zhu Yi hesitated for a moment and said softly, "Master, I want to move my mother's grave to the mountain gate. I hope you will allow me to do so."
"Sure." Lin Feng agreed: "I agree to this matter, you just need to do it."
A smile appeared on Zhu Yi's face. "Thank you, Master."
The group walked up Mount Qingyang. On the way, Zhuge Fengling quietly fell behind. She pulled Tuntun and asked, "Brother … Brother Zhu's mother, was she really the Saintess of Taixu Temple?"
Tuntun sneaked a glance at Zhu Yi and whispered, "Absolutely. It couldn't be more real."
Jun Zining was shocked. "The Saintess of Taixu Temple? Isn't that the Daoist World Wayfarer? I heard from my father that Taixu Temple is the world's most sacred place. The Daoist World Wayfarer is the leader of Taixu Temple's disciples. "
"If Brother Zhu's mother was really the Saintess of Taixu Temple, she should be buried in Taixu Temple. Why was she buried in such a small place?"
Tuntun curled its lips. "She violated the rules of Taixu Temple and was expelled."
Before she could finish her sentence, Zhu Yi turned around expressionlessly and glanced at her.
The little taotie Tuntun, who had always been fearless and stubborn even if it was afraid, felt its hairs stand on end when Zhu Yi looked at it. It hurriedly coughed and did not dare to continue speaking.
However, she still secretly told Zhuge Fengling and Jun Zining through telepathy, "His mother cultivates the Taishang Wang Qing Dao of the two supreme Great Daos of the Taixu Temple, 'Tai' and 'Xu' Scriptures. She first obtains emotions before forgetting them. She hates to be entangled with other people's emotions the most."
"In the end, not only did this Meng Bingyun have emotional entanglements with the Marquis of Xuanji Zhu Hongwu, she even betrayed her master for Zhu Hongwu. That's why she ended up in such a miserable state."
Jun Zining frowned, her small face wrinkled, "This Zhu Hongwu is really a heartless person."
Zhuge Fengling grinned and did not say anything. She had seen many people and things, so she did not find it strange.
"Hmm?" Lin Feng who was walking at the front of the group suddenly paused, his gaze looking towards the mountainside.
Zhu Yi followed Lin Feng's gaze and looked over, his heart could not help but tighten: "Master, did something happen? That's the location of my mother's grave. "
Lin Feng shook his head: "Nothing happened, it's just that there's already someone there."
"There's someone else?" Zhu Yi, Shi Tianhao and the rest were all surprised. Their spiritual senses were also quite sharp, but they could not sense the existence of anyone else at all.
Even though Lin Feng had already told them that there was someone there, they did not discover anything when they swept over with their divine sense.
Lin Feng actually only vaguely felt that there was someone there. Who it was, what dao technique they cultivated, and what they were doing, he could not see anything at all, as if there was a thick layer of fog separating them.
"If my original body was here and my divine sense was stronger, perhaps I would be able to see more clearly." Lin Feng shrugged his shoulders and looked at Zhu Yi, whose expression was obviously not good, and said calmly: "It's not a grave robber, you don't have to worry about that."
Zhu Yi took a deep breath, nodded, and walked towards Meng Bingyun's grave.
In the distance, they could already see Meng Bingyun's grave, but Zhu Yi stopped in his tracks.
Because, just as Lin Feng had said, there was a person standing in front of his mother's grave. That person stood there Silently, not emitting any aura at all.
Even though he was clearly standing there, he gave off a faintly discernible feeling, as if his entire body had merged with heaven and earth, becoming one with the world, leaving not a single trace.
But if one saw him with the naked eye, all attention would immediately be drawn to him, as if this person was the center of the entire universe.
This person wore embroidered clothes and wore a purple gold crown on his head. His sideburns were slightly white, and his two hands were as white as jade, untainted by even a speck of dust. He gave off a feeling that he held infinite power.
Zhu Yi's breathing paused slightly. Ever since he started cultivating, he had seen his true nature, and his unwavering state of mind gradually boiled up.
Because this person was his father, the Great Zhou Empire's Grand Tutor, the Marquis of Xuanji, Zhu Hongwu.
Zhu Hongwu turned around slowly, and his gaze swept past Zhu Yi, "Zhu Yi, you've come to visit your mother's grave."
His gaze swept past Zhu Yi, Shi Tianhao, and the others, and finally landed on Lin Feng.
"The Master of the Mysterious Gate, Lin Feng?"
Lin Feng looked at Zhu Hongwu calmly. Beside him, Zhu Yi also stared at this Marquis of Zhou Xuanji. Lin Feng tilted his head slightly, "Xiaoyi?"
Zhu Yi's gaze suddenly calmed down, becoming deep and reserved again. Looking at Zhu Hongwu, his gaze also became calm again.
Zhu Hongwu's eyebrows twitched slightly. Looking at Zhu Yi who suddenly became quiet, he was somewhat surprised.
He glanced at Zhu Yi a few more times, and then moved his gaze away again, landing on Lin Feng.
Lin Feng said calmly, "Marquis of Xuanji, you came at a bad time today."
This was a tacit understanding. If Lin Feng did not enter Tianjing City, Emperor Liang Pan and Zhu Hongwu would not make things difficult for Zhu Yi.
At the same time, it was not time for the two to meet, and now was not the right time.
Zhu Hongwu said calmly, "I will obey His Majesty's decree. This is the duty of an official. I have no intention of being your enemy. I came here today to verify one thing, my private matter."
Lin Feng's gaze flashed slightly as he said, "Since it's like this, why not do it now. Some things, it's better to say it clearly today."
Hearing Lin Feng say this, Zhu Yi took a step forward and looked at Zhu Hongwu calmly, saying, "Zhu Hongwu, I only came today to ask you one thing. My mother, how did she die?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Yi's entire being seemed to have changed.
It was like a kind of transcendence, similar to the ease Xiao Yan felt when he defeated Murong Yanran on Yunxing Peak and finally broke through the blockage in his heart.
Back then, in the Marquis's residence, when he faced Zhu Hongwu, even if he had doubts about his mother's death, he did not dare to say it out loud.
Because without strength, the reason in his heart could not be upheld. In the face of Zhu Hongwu's strength but no reason, he could only be a yes-man and swallow his anger.
The world was big, but the reason was the most important. It was the right way for powerful people to reason.
At this moment, Zhu Yi's state of mind was clear and carefree. He felt that his spirit and willpower were unprecedentedly complete, and he could almost go through the Chilly Wind Tribulation and advance to the late stage of Golden Elixir.
Hearing Zhu Yi's question, Zhu Hongwu just raised his eyebrows and said, "What did you call me just now? You are also a scholar, but where did all the books you read go? Didn't you read the etiquette? Don't you understand the Three Cardinal Principles and Five Virtues? Don't you understand ethics? Why did you call me by my name? "
Silently, Zhu Yi said, "The Three Cardinal Principles and Ethics are for people who have feelings and righteousness. Why should I talk about the Three Cardinal Principles and Ethics with a heartless person like you?"
"How you treat mother, how you treat me, both of us are clear in our hearts, so there is no need to say one thing at a time, right?"
Zhu Hongwu's eyes stared at Zhu Yi, his gaze like two cold lightning bolts. After a while, he turned to look at Lin Feng and said coldly, "Lin Feng, is this how you teach your disciple? Disrespectful, improper, and unethical. "
Lin Feng faintly smiled and said indifferently, "How I teach my disciple, there is no need for others to interfere. Even if it is you, it is the same."
"Although you are Little Yi's blood relative, you have never done your duty to teach. You only know how to use the rules and etiquette to restrain the body and mind of others, satisfying your own desire for control and selfishness. You are a father and a husband in vain."
Lin Feng's gaze swept over Meng Bingyun's grave and calmly said, "I do not know what kind of entanglement you had with Meng Bingyun, but you have continued this entanglement to the next generation. You see Zhu Yi as grass, so don't blame Zhu Yi for seeing you as an enemy."
"There is a cause and there is an effect. The cause and effect you sowed will inevitably end on you. This is the way of the heavens, no one can be an exception."
Zhu Hongwu's gaze also fell on Meng Bingyun's grave, his cold expression suddenly disappeared. Silently, he said, "Then you mixed in the cause and effect between us, father and wife. Do you think you can stay out of this?"
Lin Feng said indifferently, "I am mixed in, so what?"
The spring chill was chilly, the cold wind gusted. After who knows how long, Zhu Hongwu's voice came from the air: "If the heavens want to destroy, they will first make you crazy. Lin Feng, you are not far from death."
"Unfilial son, you think you can be lawless just because you have Xuanmen Tianzong as your backing? You need to know, you are not your master after all! "
Zhu Yi said calmly, "You also need to know, doing too much evil will only bring about your own destruction."
Zhu Hongwu suddenly unfolded a portrait. On the portrait was a woman with peerless beauty.
The painter's brushwork was not smooth, and even seemed a bit cold, but it revealed an unparalleled aura, similar to Zhu Hongwu himself.
When Zhu Yi saw the woman in the portrait, his breathing slightly paused, because he recognized that the person in the portrait was his mother, Meng Bingyun.
Zhu Hongwu unfolded the portrait, Silently looked at it for a moment, then said, "Taixu Temple is used to using the people of the world as chess pieces to complete their own arrangements, but they do not know that there is far more than one person playing chess."
"But, Bingyun, I must admit, you made a good move that exceeded my expectations. This might also be the move you are most proud of in your life."
He suddenly turned his head to look at Lin Feng, "I heard that you and Bingyun are old acquaintances?"
Lin Feng's expression did not change, his heart did not jump, "That's right."
Zhu Hongwu looked at the portrait, then looked at the grave at the side, and let out a long sigh, "Good move."
His emotions quickly calmed down, the gaze he looked at Lin Feng was a bit strange, "You should also know, the overall arrangement of Taixu Temple has changed, right?"
