11. Mantra
He Zichen thinks that he is a good hand at boxing, and Sheng Ling's appearance of not eating fireworks in the world will not be able to play at first glance, and there is no suspense in losing in his hands.
But he didn't expect that Sheng Ling didn't look vulgar, but he was unambiguous when he drew his fists, and he could still be invincible with his true level in the case of He Zichen's repeated deception.
The most important thing is that the punches look elegant and free, and this skill is impressive. He Zichen couldn't help but want to bow down and praise, "The national teacher is really a master!" ”
"Your Majesty, you can't drink anymore. Let's move on next time. Seeing that he had lost pitifully, Sheng Ling thoughtfully set up the steps.
In fact, He Zichen originally drank a good amount of alcohol, but he hadn't drunk for a long time, and now he couldn't bear to drink seven or eight cups so suddenly, his face was red, his body was hot, and his head was a little dizzy, but he still didn't give up and came again and again.
He said in his heart: Even if he gets drunk and dies today, he has to let Sheng Ling drink it once, even if it is just a sip.
"No! Again! He Zichen slammed the wine cup on the table, with a proud face, stretched out his hand to signal Sheng Ling to continue, but secretly he was thinking that he would have to do something to distract Sheng Ling when he punched later, and then ...... Hey.
Sheng Ling reluctantly stretched out his hand to accompany him to continue, but when he punched, he pretended to miss the hand earlier than him, He Zichen's eyes were very sharp, and just such a moment was enough for him to change his gestures naturally.
"Haha, I won! Win! ”
He Zichen was very thick-skinned, pretending not to notice that Sheng Ling was letting him go, and laughed proudly, as if this victory was enough to become the capital of the crowd, he poured the wine diligently, and said to Sheng Ling: "It's your turn, drink!" ”
Sheng Ling didn't poke him either, picked up the wine cup and drank it all.
Anyway, this little trick that both of them know is that one party is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, and finally let him win once, I hope he can be satisfied and stop tossing.
He Zichen stared at Sheng Ling intently, confirming that he had really drunk it, instead of quietly spilling the wine into his sleeves, his eyes smiled like a fox, and he couldn't do it in his heart, and he hated to tell the world that the master of the country was calculated by him.
However, now he can only force himself to hold back this pride, after all, there are more important things.
"Sheng Ling?" He Zichen stretched out a finger and shook it in front of Sheng Ling.
Sheng Ling looked at him puzzled: "Huh? ”
He Zichen looked at him with no unusual expression, and then thought of his true state at this time, he couldn't help but laugh wickedly, and after laughing for a while, he felt that he was quite a villain, so he put away the smile on his face that didn't look like a good person, coughed, and said solemnly: "Sheng Ling, are you drunk?" ”
Sheng Ling slowly shook his head from side to side, word by word, and replied in a straight tone: "I'm not drunk." ”
He Zichen: "......" is not drunk, he is not drunk, what kind of child is pretending.
"Hahahaha! Sheng Ling, you are so cute! He Zichen thought of Sheng Ling's usual appearance, looking at his current appearance, and couldn't help laughing.
Listening to his compliment, Sheng Ling blinked his eyes and nodded reservedly: "Hmm." ”
He Zichen held back a smile, but he was not in a hurry to ask him the most important question, decided to tease him first, and asked in a tone that spoke to a child, "Who are you?" What's your name? ”
After a long while, Sheng Ling didn't say anything.
Hey, isn't it invalid? He Zichen was a little weak-hearted, and wondered if this kind of question was too simple, so it was not within the scope of the answer? But it stands to reason that any question is fine.
Thinking so, He Zichen stood up suddenly, wanting to walk to Sheng Ling's side to see what was going on, but at this time, Sheng Ling, who had not moved, stretched out his hand over the low table and grabbed his sleeve.
Before He Zichen could react to what was going on, he saw Sheng Ling raise his head slightly, looking at him fixedly, and his dark eyes were a little at a loss.
"I, I said, don't be angry, okay?" Sheng Ling shook He Zichen's sleeve and said with some eagerness, "My name is Sheng Ling." ”
He Zichen: "? ”
He Zichen sat back in confusion, not thinking about why Sheng Ling's expression, but at least he was sure that the spell had taken effect, and Sheng Ling really had to answer questions at this time.
The few drawn runes he saw in the library before were "Ask and Answer Talismans", which could be burned and mixed with wine for people to drink, or they could be directly pasted on people, and the people who were under the spell could answer questions within a quarter of an hour, and the answers would be true, but the way to drink them with wine was more secure, and in order to be more secure, He Zichen was really open-minded.
When others thought that he wanted to get Sheng Ling drunk, his purpose was only to let Sheng Ling take a sip, the so-called Tao is one foot high and one foot high, it is really impossible to prevent it.
He Zichen was secretly proud in his heart, but he didn't look carefully at the collection of the talisman, there are a few lines of small characters on the page of the question and answer character, and it is clearly written that this talisman will only work if the person who is under the talisman is defenseless against the person who is under the talisman, so the success rate has never been high.
A quarter of an hour is enough to ask many questions, but He Zichen is not in a hurry, he props his hands and elbows on the table, pokes his head and points at himself with interest, and asks, "Who is this?" ”
Sheng Ling glanced at him, pursed his lips, and said, "Chenchen." ”
“…… What are you, what are you screaming? He Zichen took a step back, his old face was red for a while, and he didn't know whether he was annoyed or ashamed.
Since he woke up, except for Rossai who didn't care about the difference between the monarch and the minister, he called him "He Zichen" a few times, everyone respectfully called him "Majesty", only the Queen Mother was so affectionate, it sounded like a childhood name, but the Queen Mother was his own mother, and he was also willing to be a coquettish naughty boy in front of the Queen Mother.
At this time, another person called him the same, and called him that when he was given a question and answer question...... Moreover, and this person is still Sheng Ling, who has always seemed to be cold and indifferent, He Zichen can't say why, and he is actually a little panicked in his heart.
"It's called Chenchen." Under the effect of "all questions must be answered", Sheng Ling automatically took the words he had just blurted out as a question, replied seriously, and added, "It's not a nonsense." ”
"Okay, okay, it's not nonsense." He Zichen didn't fight with Sheng Ling at the moment, in fact, he also felt that he had reacted a lot, since they had grown up together since childhood, it was not a strange thing to call each other by their names, Sheng Ling called himself so, wouldn't he just call him back.
“…… Ling Ling," He Zichen tried to scream like this, and he felt his teeth sore, he said, "Let me ask you, how was our relationship before?" ”
Sheng Ling looked at him silently, but did not say anything.
He Zichen waved his hand in front of him suspiciously, "Shengling, why don't you answer me?" ”
"You didn't ask me," Sheng Ling said blankly, "You asked Ling Ling." ”
Hey, it seems that this is not a name, He Zichen sighed, and said in his heart: That's it, anyway, the word "Shengling" is very smooth.
"Okay," He Zichen asked again, "how was our relationship before?" ”
Sheng Ling hesitated for a moment, and replied reluctantly, "Not good." ”
Hey? Is it really bad? He Zichen was a little unconvinced, and he asked again: "Why is the relationship not good?" ”
"You hate me." Sheng Ling replied, thought for a moment and added, "I hated you too." ”
Hearing this, He Zichen felt even more strange, he now looked at how Sheng Ling looked and how pleasing to the eyes, not to mention that he didn't hate it, he couldn't forget that his likes and dislikes had changed.
But more than this, he cares more about the latter sentence-
"Why do you hate me?"
Sheng Ling replied without hesitation: "Because you hate it." ”
“……”
Where did he hate it?! He Zichen was so choked that he couldn't speak, he was a little angry, and suddenly felt that Sheng Ling didn't look so pleasing to the eye, but remembering that there was another sentence before, he asked, "Then why do I hate you?" ”
Sheng Ling frowned, as if he was meditating, and after a long while, he carefully guessed, "Because...... I didn't sue you for my name? ”
He Zichen sighed helplessly, he suddenly found that Sheng Ling didn't know what to pretend in his head, his thoughts were strange, even if he didn't remember anything, he knew that he couldn't hate people just because others didn't tell him his name, he wasn't so stingy.
Forget it, let's not be funny for now, let's get down to business.
He Zichen straightened his sitting posture, his heart was a little nervous, his face was also stern, and he asked slowly, "I, have you ever died once?" ”
"Nope!" This time, Sheng Ling replied quickly, with a faint excitement in his tone, "You're not dead, you're not dead at all." ”
"Yes, yes, I'm not dead, I'm not dead." He Zichen hurriedly comforted him, looking at Sheng Ling who seemed to care about his "death", feeling both happy and a little sour.
But this opportunity was rare, and he still had to ask again, "Then I...... What happened before? Why do I have amnesia? ”
Sheng Ling lowered his eyes and said softly, "You have left your soul." ”
Soul Leave? He Zichen didn't understand very well, the soul left the body when he left the soul, isn't that dead?
"Then why did I leave my soul?" He asked again.
"It's me," Sheng Ling's silver-white eyelashes trembled slightly, and there was a slight coolness in his voice, "I hurt you." ”
He Zichen listened and didn't speak again for a while. When Sheng Ling said the first two words, his heart slowly sank with a slightly cool voice, as if he was immersed in a pool of water under the moonlight, not cold, or even calm.
At this time, He Zichen realized that he didn't seem to be surprised at all, as if he had this intuition subconsciously.
He laughed at himself in his heart: What do you say that I believe in Sheng Ling is fake, and the maintenance in front of the mother is also a coy gesture, I really didn't expect that he was such He Zichen.
He was not surprised, nor was he angry, as for why he didn't feel angry at all, He Zichen didn't understand, probably because he had a sense in the dark.
After a long while, He Zichen remembered that Sheng Ling had only answered a question about why he had amnesia.
"Then why do I have amnesia? It's you...... Did you seal my memories? ”
"No, you're gone."
He Zichen repeated: "Why do I have amnesia? ”
Sheng Ling also repeated: "Because you have left your soul." ”
"So, as long as you leave the soul, you will lose your memory?" He Zichen seemed to understand.
However, Sheng Ling slowly shook his head, "Others may not be, but you are." ”
So what kind of special physique is he?
He Zichen really wanted to ask for an explanation, but he heard a voice from far and near outside the window, "Holy Lord! Holy Lord! ”
Looking out the window, a few small white dots on the dark blue sky flew towards this side, and when I looked closely, it turned out to be a few disciples of the Star Picking Tower who were flying with the sword.
He Zichen calculated, a quarter of an hour was almost over, if they found out that their Holy Lord was tricked by him like this, He Zichen "snapped" the window shut, turned to stare at Sheng Ling, and asked the last very important question that he remembered.
"Sheng Ling, when the statute of limitations for 'answering all questions' has passed, will you still remember this paragraph?" He Zichen stared at him with some apprehension.
Sheng Ling nodded and smiled, "Remember." ”
