29. Wishes
Xing Chen said goodbye to the abbot and rode home on a horse.
As soon as the front foot said to Zhao Ning confidently that his mother would never use marriage to threaten her, and as soon as the back foot returned to the palace, the princess asked him to talk.
The princess held the Doucai teacup in her slender hand and took a sip. "Chen'er, I heard that the concubine heard that you went to play with the Zhao family boy yesterday?"
"Ahh Xing Chen snorted twice.
"Zhao Ning's child is a good child, but you are also a person who is going to start a family, and if you have a princess and a child in the future, you will have to be a husband and a father. If you don't go home at night, what will it be like? ”
The princess put the teacup in her hand and made a clear click.
Xing Chen moved uncomfortably and quibbled: "Mother, I know." That's why I stayed at Jingci Monastery yesterday to discuss with the presiding master. Ask him what I should do to take up my responsibilities as a son. ”
"Hmph, it's better to say than to sing. I don't want to care about you now, anyway, you remember, be conscious when you get married. ”
Xing Chen lay on the jade carved railing and watched the koi swimming around in the clear water pool. What to do? The fox fairy told him to go once every seven days, and maybe he would have to stay there at night. What justification does he use to explain this? …… If it was better on weekdays, the mother might have relented and let herself out. He smirked and locked himself in the study.
When the princess heard that her son seemed to have suddenly opened her mind, she read it carefully, and she rejected Zhao Ning's invitation without hesitation, and couldn't help but relax. His own child was only young in the past, and getting married is really a sharp weapon, which can make him realize his responsibility early.
"Mother, I made an agreement with the abbot master to go to Jingci Temple every seven days to cultivate one's self-cultivation, and I hope that my mother will allow it." Xing Chen was dressed plainly and cleanly, and he didn't bring those jingling jade sachets, and he didn't even bring a lot of silver, so he looked like I didn't want to listen to music and drink.
The princess took his hand and stroked the top of his head. "My youngest son is finally sensible. Since you have made an appointment with the abbot, how can I object? Go ahead and come back early tomorrow. ”
"Yes, Princess." Xing Chen obediently responded.
In order to hide people's eyes, he only brought a small servant. When he arrived at Jingci Temple, he told the little maid to clean up the guest room first, and he looked at no one by himself, and went to the back mountain.
"Oops!" He was looking at where Rong was waiting for him, his back suddenly sank, a pair of arms wrapped around his neck, and the soft lips in his ears came close, and it was Rong who jumped on his back while he was unprepared.
"It's punctual." Rong said lazily on his back.
"Of course I won't be late for what you ordered." Xing Chen smiled helplessly and patted his arm. "But Lord Fox Fairy, the last time I got home, I thought about it, this matter is very wrong!"
Rong immediately widened his eyes, turned to him, and said slightly angrily, "What's wrong?" ”
Xing Chen was serious: "Look, you only asked me to warm your bed, and you didn't allow me to sue others." Then you've got to do me some good! Otherwise, why bother with me running around all day long? ”
Rong tilted his head blankly. "What's the benefit?"
Xing Chen snickered in his heart, this little fox demon looked at bluffing people at first sight, and it was easy to fool, right? He cleared his throat, "That's up to you to see what you can give me." “
"Fox Fairy-sama should be able to do things that many people can't. Flying away? Changeable? ”
Rong nodded, "Yes." ”
Xing Chen took two steps behind his back, "I don't want to make any excessive requests, I just hope you can give me a wish." ”
A gust of spring breeze blew across the meadow, curling Rong's long black hair. Rong pinned his stray hair behind his ears. "Wish?"
"That is, if one day, I make a request to you, you have to say yes to me."
"That's not going to work!" Rong hurriedly refused, "What if you want my demon pill?" ”
Xing Chen raised his fingers, "...... I swear I will never make any unfavorable requests. Is that okay? ”
Rong hesitated for a long time, and said, "Okay, okay." ”
After talking about the conditions, Rong quickly ran the matter out of the clouds, took Xingchen's hand and walked into the dense forest in the back mountain, saying that he would take him to a wonderful place.
Walking into the valley, Xing Chen couldn't help but feel refreshed. Sure enough, it is a place where the thousand-year-old fox demon lives, and it is not the same as the turbidity of the outside world. However, I always feel that this valley is so familiar. Xing Chen watched the thousands of waterfalls in the valley fall straight down, and the water splashed in the cold pool.
Rong pinched his fingers and shouted softly: "Break!" The waterfall suddenly parted from it, revealing a dark cavern behind it.
This was the first time Xing Chen had seen the power of demons in his life, and it could not be measured by the power of mortals at all. If a person cultivates the Tao, can he do this? Immortality, attainment of the Tao and ascension to heaven, etc., even the emperor is struggling to pursue it.
Rong stretched out his right hand to him: "I'll take you over." ”
Xing Chen hesitated for a moment and held the fox demon's palm.
"Ahh He was startled by the fact that he was flying, and couldn't help but scream.
Rong laughed happily. "Hahahaha, you're really scared. What do you think? Let's have fun! I tell you, few people have ever felt the taste of flying, and you have to thank me. “
Xing Chen wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and whispered, "I thank you for the eighteenth generation of ancestors. ”
Rong took him over a cold pool dozens of meters wide and flew into the depths of the cave. A few night pearls were embedded in the rock wall, and under the faint glow, Xing Chen could barely see the situation in the cave.
…… It's messy, it's messy. If it weren't for the fact that goblins were much easier to live than humans, Xing Chen would have ensured that the cave would have been filled with a mess of waste. There was only one bed, which was barely a usable object.
Rong pushed the clothes piled on the bed, revealing the original appearance of the bed. The white translucent material reflects the hazy light under the night pearl. Xing Chen touched the bed and said in surprise: "What kind of stone is this?" ”
"It's not a stone, it's a demon ice jade. It can help the demon absorb and purify spiritual power, and it took me a lot of effort to get such a large piece. Come on, the aura in my body is already stagnant. Rong sat on the bed and beckoned to Xing Chen.
"Is it very strict?" Xing Chen frowned and took his hand.
"Shh......h Give me half an hour......" Rong closed his eyes and transferred the accumulated spiritual power to Xing Chen's body for a week before retracting it. Xing Chen's physique is special, and his spiritual power is much more tamed and purified after turning around, and he was obediently driven back to the vicinity of the demon pill by Rong.
"Whew...... All right. Rong woke up, but found that Xing Chen was lying to the side, and he had already fallen asleep, he shook Xing Chen, who was asleep, "Hey, wake up, mortals can't sleep on the demon ice jade!" ”
