The Ordinary Road

"Thump thump thump thump..."

The sound of the guitar floated in the air.

Due to the impact of the task, Yi Feng has recently picked up the hobby of playing the guitar again.

Sometimes people are like this.

No matter if it's a hobby or something else, if you don't use it for a long time, you will slowly forget it.

After picking it up again, Yi Feng's love for the guitar was rekindled.

Among the four arts of zither, chess, calligraphy and painting, the only one he was really interested in was this musical instrument. Therefore, even though his guitar skills had reached the level of playing alongside the gods, he still played a little every day.

Not for anything else.

But for interest.

And for sentiment.

In addition to Yi Feng, the steps below were also filled with the audience.

The weeders, the soil looseners, the diggers, the shit carriers, in addition to Old Wang next door, the vendor at the beef noodle stand across the way, his neighbor Zhu who sold pork, and Huajie who sold rouge diagonally across...and many more.

At this moment, everyone was immersed in the sound of Yi Feng's guitar.

As one song ended.

The crowd was still indulging in it.

"Oh, sir, your skills with the guitar are really too superb. The Tao contained within, even at our level of attainment, we still cannot perceive even one ten-thousandth of it!" Wu Yonghong exclaimed.

"That's right, if our attainment was just a little lower, I'm afraid we could only listen to the music, know that it sounds nice, but not understand its meaning." Sun Zhuge also sighed with similar feelings.

"Play 'Ordinary Road' again."

Looking at the admiring voices below the steps, Yi Feng smiled and said, after all, with so many people liking the guitar he played, it was quite fulfilling.

Then, the melody of 'Ordinary Road' floated gently.

This was a song Yi Feng played every day.

Not for anything else.

Because he liked it.

Especially the true meaning within the song, which matched perfectly with his life here.

After transmigrating here, stumbling along, he had fantasized, feared, hoped, seen this world, and wanted to roam the ends of the earth with a blue phoenix sword in hand.

Although the setback from this useless system back then was huge, shattering his ideals, and hiding resignedly in this martial arts school also made him very unwilling.

But looking back, isn't life just like this?

Although it was not an ordinary world, cultivation experts would also die of old age, or be beheaded by someone's sword.

Rather than that, live an ordinary life, be an ordinary person.

Being comfortable is good.

Carefree and unrestrained is also good.

"Damn!"

"Luckily this young master hid well, otherwise I would have kicked the bucket."

Just then, Yu Wujie who had just emerged from the soil walked over from the side of the street. He had just cursed twice, when he saw the crowd gathered at the entrance of the martial arts school.

With a mindset of watching the lively scene, he also quietly walked over.

"Oh, I unknowingly arrived here. So it's this useless loser!" Yu Wujie looked at Yi Feng, who had his eyes closed indulging in the guitar, and uttered disdainfully.

However, when these guitar sounds entered his ears, he was shocked.

These sounds, how pleasant to the ear.

Moreover, this song also seemed wonderful. As a cultivator listening to this song, even his state of mind calmed down.

Unconsciously, he also sank deeply into it.

After a long, long time, the guitar sounds finally slowly stopped.

Many people below the steps looked at Yi Feng with grateful gazes, and were even more excited.

There were also many who thought it sounded nice and clapped.

"Tsk, this loser isn't good at much else, but I have to say, he's really something with this broken instrument."

In the corner, Yu Wujie couldn't help but nod his head.

Although he looked down on this useless Yi Feng, he couldn't criticize this song. Even after leaving far away, his mind still echoed with the melody.

"Yu Wujie, so you were here?"

At this moment, a figure flashed over and stopped in front of Yu Wujie.

It was Peng Xianer.

Seeing this.

Yu Wujie's expression changed slightly, his entire face embarrassed, not daring to look Peng Xianer in the eye.

"Hehe, yes, yes!"

Clearly, the reason he didn't return to Qingshan Gate, but rather loitered around on the streets, was precisely to avoid Peng Xianer.

After all, he had sworn at the time that he would go open the earth portal, but instead hid in the soil for many days.

He simply didn't have the face for this.

"You really surprised me. Not only did you open the earth portal, you even opened the heavenly portal and returned safe and sound." From under the veil, Peng Xianer's voice was full of admiration.

"Ah?"

"Heavenly portal?"

"I opened the heavenly portal?"

Yu Wujie's expression was shocked, his whole face incredulous as he asked.

"Could it be that it wasn't opened by you?" Peng Xianer's brows furrowed slightly.

Yu Wujie's eyes rolled, and he immediately understood the implication in Peng Xianer's words. Clearly the heavenly portal had been opened for some unknown reason, and Peng Xianer had mistakenly assumed it was him. So he quickly said, "Ah, yes, yes, look at my poor memory. It was me who opened it, hahaha..."

Since he didn't have the face to see Peng Xianer anyway, he might as well just go along with it.

"But after opening the heavenly portal, why didn't you come find me?" Peng Xianer gently asked, "Could it be that you don't want the reward?"

"What is there to find you for? After all, you were all busy. And it was just opening a trivial heavenly portal, who needs a reward, right!" Yu Wujie said with an awkward laugh.

Clearly, he was still very nervous.

From under the veil, Peng Xianer's face revealed surprise.

The Yu Wujie before her now seemed somewhat different from the one she knew!

With his shameless attitude, after opening the heavenly portal, he actually didn't come to her to show off?

This really made her look at him with new eyes.

"Since that's the case, follow me from now on then?" Peng Xianer's gaze moved slightly as she gently said.

"Haha, is that so, is that good?" Yu Wujie still didn't have confidence in himself, because he knew clearly that the opening of the heavenly portal had absolutely nothing to do with him.

"Could it be that you don't want to become my man?" Peng Xianer held out an olive branch, her jade hand resting on Yu Wujie's chin, lightly lifting it up, gently saying.

Peng Xianer's actions immediately made Yu Wujie's mind heat up.

The way he looked at Peng Xianer was full of fanaticism. He didn't care about being exposed or not, and left with her.

Time quietly slipped by.

All the forces were watching Jiang Yu's tomb.

And after so long, the mechanisms inside seemed to have been exhausted, and that most terrifying black mist phantom also seemed to have dissipated.

People estimated that at most after half a day, they would be able to re-enter the ancient tomb.

So at this moment, the stone gate entrance was filled with countless cultivators.

On everyone's faces hung ample confidence, determined to obtain the treasures inside.
