Chapter Twenty-Seven: Night Talk
The tall black hat and white tulle hunting clothes are completely different from the outfits of the priests who greeted Camilla before, and they are clearly the dress of Japanese onmyoji. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The young man, with maturity and poise on his face that was not commensurate with his age, smiled slightly and beckoned Camilla to sit down.
"I haven't seen you for a long time, Master Daoman is really good-looking." Camilla looked at him and said with a smile that when she saw him before, he was still an old man in a dry leather suit and a wrinkled face.
Ashiya Michiman understood what she meant, raised a hand and gently brushed his cheek, closed his eyes, and showed an expression of memory: "The best furnace, his birthday is in harmony with me, and the potential for cultivation is also very great, and the most important thing is that he has a heart that is willing to sacrifice himself." ”
Camila nodded, but she was a little disdainful in her heart, but she knew that after finding a good Lu Ding, she even coaxed and deceived her to start training, and the blind worship that occurred after brainwashing was not afraid that Lu Ding would not be willing to contribute.
"It's not a good thing to be too greedy for a young body." Camilla watched him keep stroking his face that didn't belong to her, and suddenly said this.
Ashiya Michiman's hand paused obviously, his expression was slightly embarrassed, and he hesitated, thinking that it was better to tell the truth even for the sake of his reputation.
"You misunderstood, Miss Camilla, I replaced this body in advance, not because you said that I was greedy for the flesh, but because I was forced to be helpless." Ashiya Michiman shrugged his shoulders, his eyes full of helplessness.
"Oh?" Hearing Ashiya Michiman's words, Camila raised her delicate eyebrows, leaned forward, and showed strong interest, "In today's Japan, there are still people who can force the dignified Michiman to take the house in advance?" ”
Ashiya Michiman smiled bitterly, although he was very helpless about this matter, but he was not angry, but had some joy from the heart, he was about to open his mouth to tell what happened to him, but he heard the door knocked three times, Yuli pushed the door to the side, and walked in with a desk full of tea sets, flower arrangements and snacks.
"Please have a cup of tea." Michiman Ashiya made a gesture of please.
Yuli gave the snacks on the desk to the two, and then laid out the tea sets on it one by one.
Light the charcoal fire, boil the tea, rinse the tea set, the movements are soothing and gentle, and the clouds flow smoothly, just like a dance.
Tea ceremony is a thing that requires extreme patience and self-cultivation, and the two people in the room are extremely patient and cultivated people.
Yuli gave the brewed tea to the guests with both hands, Cami also took it with both hands, nodded in thanks, took a sip, turned the tea bowl, and then took another sip, turned the tea bowl, and repeated it three times, admiring: "Good tea, Yuli sauce's tea art has improved again." With that, he handed back the tea bowl.
Yuli smiled shyly and said modestly: "Wherever it is, it is all taught by the master." ”
After Ashiya Michiman waved his hand to let Yuli retreat, Camilla took a deep breath: "When I was young, I came to Japan for the first time, and I saw your tea ceremony, and I always thought it was very strange, why should there be such a complicated process for drinking tea, but in the end I couldn't drink a few sips, Oriental people like to engage in flashy things." ”
"But Mr. Leicester is very fond of these flashy things." Michiman Ashiya continued to pour the tea and brought it to Camilla.
Blonde Lori nodded: "yes, this is what I find more strange, but later, I understood." ”
"Realized your own way from the tea ceremony?"
Camila still nodded: "After living for so long, even if your brain is dull, you will have some understanding." After a pause, she added, "What I get after patience and hard work, even if it is only a little, will be satisfied, and this is my own way." ”
Ashiya Michiman was silent for a while before he sighed: "It's better not to sink too deep." ”
The room suddenly became strangely quiet, and two people with the same immature countenance, but also experienced the vicissitudes of life, seemed to be caught in their own memories at this moment, silent.
"By the way, you didn't finish what you just said, who is that person?" Camila was the first to break the silence.
"Naturally, it's my old adversary." Ashiya said quietly.
"**** Qingming? He's still alive? Camila was taken aback, and suddenly felt that she had come to Japan on the right trip.
"Naturally, he died." Ashiya Michiman waved his hand, signaling that there was no need to make a fuss, "Although he is dead, a character like him always has a way to keep his own, but I think I just met his reincarnation." ”
"The body keeps reincarnating, but it always retains its own memories?" Camila muttered to herself, "Your Oriental cultivation is really magical. ”
Ashiya Michiman didn't care about her words, but rubbed his hands excitedly, his face flushed: "Eight hundred years, I have been looking for him for eight hundred years, and now that I have finally found it, I must start preparing in the best state and compete with him again." ”
Camilla knew his feelings for **** Qingming, so she put away her gossip and didn't make too many comments.
"I'm here to ask for your help." She felt it was time to bring the conversation to her own senses.
Ashiya Michiman listened attentively.
"Do you know the golden apple?"
Michiman Ashiya's fingers on his knees twitched slightly, but Camila couldn't see them because they were across the desk. "Haven't heard of it." He shook his head.
Camilla sighed, stood up and walked to the windowsill, Yuli was sitting cross-legged in the courtyard, the moon gilded her with a cold light, she withdrew her eyes, and continued: "Actually, I don't know very well, but there are bits and pieces of reliable information that it can give humans the power to approach God. I felt that this could be an opportunity for me to make my wish come true. ”
"Where is it?"
"In China, in the hands of a Taoist priest." Camila looked at Ashiya Michiman, "I can't do it myself, I have a part of the property there, and if it is discovered, I will have to roll up and leave." She paused, then said: "I also looked for a lot of people before, and when they heard about China, they all cringed and hesitated, and then I thought of you. ”
"I really am the person most likely to help you." The look on Ashiya Michi's face was a little proud, "However, we still need to plan carefully, after all, it is China, in addition to the number of cultivators who can be managed, there is also a huge state apparatus, and now it is not as good as in the past." ”
"Actually, there's no need for you to go out in person, just let Yulichan lead the team." Camila suggested.
"It's up to her to make her own decisions."
"Didn't you ...... her," Camila pointed to her head, looking even more surprised than before.
"Nope." Ashiya Michiman shook his head, "Saionji Yuli, is the most innocent and kind witch I have ever seen, sometimes wicked people do too much, and they suddenly want to be a good person, besides, maintaining an independent mind is of great benefit to cultivation, Yuli's cultivation talent is very high, I don't want to waste it." ”
Camila looked at him steadily, silent, thinking that the world had really changed. After a while, she said that I will take my leave first, and I will stay in Japan for a few days in the near future, and I hope to hear good news from you when I leave.
After saying that, he left the shrine.
Yuri sent Camilla away, returned to the shrine, and saw Ashiya Michiman standing in the courtyard, looking at the moon with his hands in his hands, and walked over.
"Master, what's wrong?"
Michiman Ashiya turned around and told her about Camila's request.
Yuli gave a deep salute: "Master, why does Miss Camilla want to rob other people's things?" Can't she borrow or buy it? The disciples were reluctant to go. ”
"Since you don't want to, I won't force it." Ashiya Michiman knew the character of his apprentice, if she wanted to, it would be wrong, looking at the Inner Palace Taisha hidden by the woods, he asked again: "Yuli, when was the last time the shrine was torn down and rebuilt?" ”
"Heisei 15 years, 2003 Western calendar, what's wrong master?"
"There are still seven years, but this time, I'm afraid it's going to be early." Ashiya Michiman sighed.
Yuli looked at Ashiya Michiman with shining eyes, not knowing what he was sighing about.
