Chapter 62
It's unbelievable that an empty city stopped an army for half a day. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
When His Majesty and I returned, the army entered the cloud city where I broke the formation in an orderly manner, and nothing went wrong. I don't know why there is an inexplicable sense of emptiness, like everything is too smooth, and it comes naturally.
It's like someone deliberately dangled a shot and made a paper tiger to scare people.
It's not down-to-earth after all.
But I have always been a passable character, and I have experienced a lot of things when I stay by His Majesty's side, and I am always coveted by others, and I am even more economical about how to relax myself and not those useless hearts.
When Your Majesty is here, he is at peace, I have always thought so.
For the next few days, I was distracted and took care of Sansheng, mostly leaving my spiritual consciousness in the gravel.
There are no living creatures, let alone bees and butterflies, and I don't know how such lush vegetation grows.
Since I apprenticed with Ji Yunqing, the ingredients for his meals are all taken from the gravel, from rice to vegetables, I have sown them by hand, so the situation of the gravel today is very different from the overgrown appearance of weeds in the past, and there is a little more aroma of fruits and vegetables in the mortal countryside.
Plants grow much faster than the outside because of the different soil composition in the gravel, and if the fruit and vegetables are ripe and not picked, they will fall to the ground and melt into the soil again after two days. I thought it was a pity, but I really couldn't eat all of them, and even if I wanted to sell them, my identity was not suitable. Moreover, it was an eventful time in Beijing, and I didn't dare to toss around by myself, in case the existence of sand and gravel was exposed, it would be a disaster. Later, when an apple was occasionally seen falling into a small puddle of water, it was soon gone, and the puddle was dyed with a fruity fragrance.
I took a sip of it, it was fragrant and refreshing, and the spiritual power in the water was also enhanced, and then I picked ripe fruits and vegetables from time to time and put them in different pools to "store". And the more fruit you store, the more fragrant the fruit will be, and the purer the air will be.
Fruits and vegetables can be treated in this way, but rice can't, and it won't melt into the soil for a long time. Since sowing, I have harvested a total of 11 batches of paddy, which are piled up in the cellar.
When Sansheng woke up, I was worried about the twelfth batch of ripe rice that was already ripe and golden all over the ground. If I don't harvest, I waste the land and the grain, and if I harvest, I won't be able to eat all this rice in my life.
"You seem to be busy all day." Sansheng soaked in water, finally grew some flesh on his face, propping up his shriveled skin, "Concerned about some inconsequential trivial matters." ”
I was originally squatting on the ridge, but when I saw him squeaking, I moved my foot and turned in his direction: "Good and dignified, why do you say me?" ”
"I think you're lucky."
I understood what he meant, in the troubled times, people are running for life and death, but I am here worried about the "insignificant" trivial matter of dealing with the extra rice.
"Do you want me to give you back the grit?"
His eyes moved slightly, but he didn't answer.
"I can give it back to you, after my brother ascends the throne."
"It's not coming back yet." "Gravel has accepted you, and he doesn't belong to me," he said. After a slight pause, he continued, "Do you know what it means for you to practice ghost cultivation? ”
I nodded, "Meaning I can help my brother a little." ”
"Meaning that one day, you will leave him first." His fingers brushed aside the silence of the water, "If you don't break through the shackles of mortals, your lifespan will be half less than that of ordinary people." If you break through that shackle, you will leave the mortal realm and go to the fairy realm or the underworld. ”
"That's for later."
Sansheng interrupted me, "The person you want to save is Ji Yunqing." ”
"What?"
"Have you looked at my face closely?" He slowly turned his head sideways, facing me in the same direction, "Since I made contact with you again, my face has started to change, can't you see who it is?" ”
I stared at his turned face, and it wasn't too unexpected: "You look good with a different face." ”
Sansheng sneered and laughed, and his emaciated face finally had a trace of vitality because of this smile: "It is rare for a person to be so calm. ”
I said, "You're wrong, it's not like that." ”
Sansheng is a forgotten grass, which can peek into people's inner roots and obsessions. At first, I just wanted to follow His Majesty and escape the fate of marrying into Peony Villa, and the person I always had in mind was naturally him. And now, I can finally see my mind clearly, but I have settled down.
As for Ji Yunqing, I wanted to save him, but I never dispelled this idea. He only has half a year left, and I am far away from him, so I should be worried.
"There's something I don't know if I should tell you." Sansheng was lying there, his black hair hanging down to cover some of his face, and his sick and weak appearance was really a little similar to Ji Yunqing.
He raised his eyebrows, "Say it." ”
"In your spiritual sea, I found an aura that belongs to human cultivation, but the reinforced enchantment is too strong for me to decipher."
The only person I have come into contact with is Ji Yunqing, and only he has ever entered my spiritual sea, and he smiled: "Ji Yunqing can't do such a thing." ”
"It's been a long time, and you'll probably see it in a few moments."
……
The army soon arrived at the front, and His Majesty was invited by the generals who had come to meet him to consult on military affairs. And I collapsed on the bed, suffering from back pain because of the visit of my relatives. It didn't hurt before, but this time I thought it was a cold on the march.
The guards outside were all pro-soldiers, and when they saw that the weather was finally clear, they enthusiastically shouted outside the door for me to go out for a walk. I was so embarrassed that I excused myself that I was tired and slept on my bed for an afternoon.
Because of the bad body, I wake up in my sleep and get confused.
I vaguely felt that I had a dream, dreaming that a child fell into the water, and there was no one nearby, so I had to jump down to save it.
The child was rescued by me, but he didn't mean to be grateful, he took my hand and asked, Gu Yu, do you like to fish people out of the water?
Kindness was treated as a donkey's liver and lungs, and I was so angry that I choked up and woke up.
Before he got up on the bed with his eyes open, the pain in his body became clear again, and the loud voice of the soldier came from outside the door, calling out very abruptly: "Master Tianshi, it's time for dinner." ”
I didn't want to move at all, I was afraid of the cold, there was no brazier in the house, and it was terrible to get up from the bed. But I can't talk about the past if I don't go to dinner for no reason, Your Majesty is busy with war, and I can't let him worry about it again.
After a long time, he wrapped his clothes in three layers inside and three layers outside, pulled up the hat on his cloak before going out, shrunk his face in the fur collar of his cloak, and looked at the soldiers in light armor with cold air, and he didn't know whether the armor was cold or hot on his body.
When I arrived in the hall, I saw a pair of my dishes and chopsticks on the table. "Your Highness, are they still busy?"
"Yes." The soldiers stood at the door and did not come in, "The weather is very cold, and the food is easy to get cold, His Highness specially instructed the Heavenly Master to eat first." ”
When the maids who heard this, as if surprised, they all looked up at me, and when they touched me, their eyes quickly lowered.
This is the Taishou Mansion, His Majesty and I will live here temporarily after entering the city, the environment is acceptable, but due to the war ahead, the food and clothing are all simplified.
I looked a little hot on my face, nodded silently, sat down and drank some hot soup to the stomach, the warm temperature reached the abdomen, I don't know if it was a psychological effect or what, the pain in my body suddenly eased a lot.
The chef of Taishoufu unexpectedly suited my taste, and after the meal, my body was not so uncomfortable, so I wanted to walk around and move my muscles.
The Taishou Mansion is not big, and I can't go out under heavy guards, so I only walk back and forth in a few courtyards in the house.
I didn't believe what Sansheng told me, but I was full of wine and food and didn't want to move, but I spontaneously searched for the spiritual sea.
He said that Ji Yunqing left me a breath, what does it mean?
I wandered around a few times unconsciously, and before I knew it, it was night. I was used to the luster of the moonlight, and I didn't need to light it up, and it didn't particularly affect my vision, so I realized it was too late after half a beat.
I stood still, trying to figure out where I was so I could go back, when there was a sudden noise at the outer door, and someone in thin clothes stepped through the door with a lamp.
The outer door was far away from my place, and even in the daytime, the grass and trees could not necessarily see people clearly, and I looked at his figure under the light and shadow, and recognized him, and was extremely surprised and stunned.
At the same time, at the ear door beside me, several generals rushed out, looked at me as they passed, and nodded at me. In a blink of an eye, he saw the person who picked up the lamp, and then saw his clothes clearly, and called in a deep voice: "Master Heaven." ”
I finally knew that I didn't think about things by myself, and I hallucinated, and I was relieved: "Ji ......"
"Why are you here?" His Majesty's steady voice came from my side, inexplicably carrying a trace of coldness.
Ji Yunqing is somehow smiling and in a good mood today. Picking up the lamp and approaching, it was clearly in response to His Majesty's words, but the clear eyes fell on me: "I'm worried about you." ”
I blinked, a little unsure if I was being teased. Sure enough, before I could think deeply, Ji Yunqing directly rejected my conjecture.
He said: "Gu Yu, do you still have any clothes, I feel so cold." ”
Me: "...... Don't you have money to buy clothes? ”
