Chapter 23: Homecoming
Due to Qian Gu Ning's insistence, after entering the border of the Southern Ming Kingdom, they left the Lin family's convoy and walked the rest of the journey by themselves.
Lin Tianpu wanted to speak and stopped, and finally seemed to understand, without forcing it, and sat back in the car silently.
The Lin family monk happily made an appointment with Cheng Zhaoxi to return to Kyoto to discuss and teach the Fa together, and Cheng Zhaoxi also readily agreed, so he got out of the car and waved goodbye to them with a thousand years of condensation.
The convoy with the Lin family emblem went away, and the convoy that followed up stopped from time to time to ask them why they got off, of course, this was asked to Cheng Zhaoxi, Cheng Zhaoxi fought on the route, so that many people knew her, everyone subconsciously ignored that she was a spirit with a deed master, seeing that she was dressed lightly with two younger girls, and a skeleton with strange behavior, they invited her to join the hunting team.
Qiangu Ning's eyes were sour, and others didn't reward her with a blue eye, and when she heard that Cheng Zhaoxi wanted to accompany the deed owner to slowly appreciate the beautiful scenery of mountains and rivers, she looked at Qiangu Ning, a girl with a heroic face, and a few even badly persuaded Cheng Zhaoxi to rebel as soon as possible, almost making Gu Ning angry.
Cheng Zhaoxi laughingly refused, and those people had to leave with a regretful face.
"Hmph, a stinky man with no beads. Qiangu Ning was half angry all the way, but Cheng Zhaoxi was calm on the side, and she didn't say a word that reassured her, which made her feel very bottomless.
She was actually a little afraid that Cheng Zhaoxi would dislike her useless, and she slowly developed a little hesitation in her heart, which was originally not timid, and wanted to lead Cheng Zhaoxi back to Kyoto to show off, but also because she was afraid that Cheng Zhaoxi would be tempted by others after returning to Kyoto and betray her.
Strength...... When will you have enough strength to match a god's soul, instead of falling unconscious at the slightest danger? Don't think she doesn't know, those attendants of the Lin family secretly call her "unconscious lady", which is to mock her for not helping.
Cheng Zhaoxi didn't pay attention to what the eternal condensation was thinking at all, but felt the temperature of the light, the hideous crack in the sky followed like a shadow, hanging clearly over the entire Nanming Kingdom, even the whirlpool undercurrent above the crack was clearly seen, countless gorgeous lights were captured and swallowed by the crack, but some of them were absorbed by the large array on the top of the Nanming, led to the bottom, and mixed with the light of the large array, forming a very natural sky-like light, which was enough for the entire Nanming Kingdom.
The only pity is that the skylight is always just similar, the change of the morning glow and sunset is always nothing, only the dull and undifferentiated light, which is already rare, and the night is only slightly brighter, after all, this world is dark enough, and no one expects a pure and quiet night.
This array should have been transformed from some of the previous sixty-four arrays, and the very familiar Huai's ring wheel, one ring after another, constituted an extremely complex and precise space.
This is a relatively lively town, and the people in the town speak Nanming with a strong accent, and the speed of speech is very strange, like singing. Cheng Zhaoxi thought it sounded very good, and recorded a few paragraphs with a notebook, which attracted the curiosity of several children, and they happily followed behind Cheng Zhaoxi, and their strong curiosity made them not afraid of the breath on her body at all, and they gestured with their eyes, as if begging her to give them the talisman seal that could make a sound in her hand.
This is just a trivial matter, after many years of cultivation, Cheng Zhaoxi already has good language skills, and quickly mastered a little local language, coaxed those children to sing a few clear nursery rhymes, burned the talisman seal in his hand into beads, and presented it to them, attracting their worship, it is probably rare to see such an approachable and noble person, those children raised the most innocent smile, and said to Cheng Zhaoxi with a red face: "Madam, I like you very much." ”
Cheng Zhaoxi accepted it with a smile.
Ms. is Nanmingguo's equal honorific title for women, the meaning of famous women, Cheng Zhaoxi did not understand so deeply, and felt that the word "lady" was very fresh, and the meaning of respect and worship in the tone was too easy to recognize.
Children are so easy to satisfy.
Qiangu Ning didn't expect Cheng Zhaoxi to look more difficult to mess with than her, but she could get such a liking from children, which was incredible. The children of the aristocracy are actually not interesting, they have been bound by the rules since they were young, and when they grow up, they will either become Duanfang Yashi, or they are deviant madmen, there are actually very few normal people, whether it is between boys or girls, fighting to the death, family background, ability, or a very small thing, will become the fuse of mutual open and secret fighting, smiling in front of you, stabbing in the back is very common, true friends are like treasures in the world, you can not find them.
Such unguarded innocence has never been so intuitively appreciated. If someone laughs so frankly in front of Qiangu Ning, she must be secretly vigilant in her heart to prevent the conspiracy under the other party's smiling face.
Why, Cheng Zhaoxi can always accept the kindness of others so happily, and give kindness to others so generously?
Eternal Ning, who has experienced countless dark aristocratic struggles since she was a child, can't understand at all, even if she follows Cheng Zhaoxi these days, the coldness on her face gradually fades, and she admires Cheng Zhaoxi very much, and gradually regards the other party as a very important person in her heart, but in the darkest depths, in fact, she is not secretly vigilant, prevents betrayal, and secretly steps up to use the advantages of the contract owner to delete and modify part of the contract, which is also the reason why Cheng Zhaoxi is more and more restricted by the contract.
Speaking of which, this pair of contract owners and contract spirits are only superficially peaceful, while Gu Ning is vigilant and preventive, Cheng Zhaoxi is not also secretly vigilant that Gu Ning will forcibly control her in the future, and also use his hands and feet to control her, not for the sake of plotting, this is Cheng Zhaoxi's self-esteem as a strong person, in a certain consciousness, her free consciousness as a monk does not allow her to be controlled by others for a long time.
The two sides are in some way the same without giving full trust,
Cheng Zhaoxi has never concealed her resistance to the contract, nor is she afraid of the eternal condensation becoming stronger, she did not hide any selfishness when educating the eternal condensation, she was just worried that she would not be strong enough in the future and would not be able to be in independent control.
It's just this kind of frankness of hers...... Eternal condensation is incomprehensible. The background and past living environment of the eternal condensation are far more complex than Cheng Zhaoxi's, and they have a deeper understanding of the complexity of people's hearts than Cheng Zhaoxi, and the seeds of distrust are buried deep at the beginning, waiting for the day when they will sprout.
However, at this time, Qiangu Ning did not have such a deep scheming, she was simply afraid of the betrayal of the hard-won Covenant Spirit, and her life fell into a bad situation again, unable to pursue the acquisition of higher knowledge.
......
Traveling all the way, with the help of Cheng Zhaoxi, a high-speed flying "tool spirit", he actually returned to Kyoto soon.
Kyoto is still thriving.
Qian Gu Ning pushed open the door of his house, and a musty smell that had not been lived in for a long time came to his face, and the house was full of dust. She choked and coughed, while rubbing the tears in her eyes that she didn't know if it was because of dust or emotion, and happily said to Cheng Zhaoxi: "Xi, welcome home." ”
