Chapter 6: Journey to the West 6
Perhaps related to the gap in regional folk customs, Tang Sanqing found that women in Wusi Tibet were more unrestrained, and the physical communication between men and women was more intimate.
Looking at this scene in front of him, Tang Sanqing, who was hidden under the mask, blushed a little, didn't dare to look directly at the fragrant scene in front of him, lowered his head, and said hurriedly.
"I'm sorry, I was too reckless and bumped into Childe by mistake, I'm sorry."
After speaking, he quickly picked up Sun Shengyin on the ground and fled.
Seeing that there was no one around, she flashed into a remote alley and carefully placed Sun Shengyin on the ground.
"Ah Yin, while there is no one now, let's quickly change back."
"Squeak Squeak......"
"What's the matter, Ah Yin will come back soon?"
"Squeak Squeak......"
Tang Sanqing was a little anxious, no matter how he told Sun Shengyin, he was just "squeaking", his round eyes were full of meanings that she couldn't understand, and his dancing movements also made her brain a mess.
Looking at the little monkey in front of him, it is no different from an ordinary monkey.
Tang Sanqing was a little worried, could it be that he was in the circus and was confused with other monkeys.
"If you're Sun Shengyin, nod your head three times!"
She figured out a way to make sure she wasn't mistaken.
And the little monkey on the ground did not nod at all, but turned his nostrils upwards and rolled his eyes wide.
Tang Sanqing can confirm that he is Sun Shengyin, that's right.
"Ah Yin, can't you change back?"
Tang Sanqing suddenly had an idea and spoke cautiously.
“……”
Sun Shengyin, who was still dancing his teeth and claws just now, instantly seemed to be frozen, and he was deflated all of a sudden.
She couldn't help but reach out her finger and tap his drooping head.
"I don't know why, but you're still Sun Shengyin, right? I was so worried just now, what would I do if I lost you? ”
She bent over, looked intently into his eyes, and continued.
"Still, it's good that you're still with me."
……
Listening to her words, Sun Shengyin, who was originally like a deflated ball, regained his spirits, and his dark eyes were starry.
"But why can't you change it back, is it because the spell is out of order?"
Tang Sanqing asked strangely.
Sun Shengyin, who had turned into a monkey, scratched his head, stomped his feet vigorously, and stretched out his hand to the ground.
She stared at his movements, thought for a moment, and suddenly her eyes lit up.
"You're saying your spells can't be used in this place?"
He nodded, and gestured with his hands, pointing to the ground and to the sky.
"You say there's someone here who's more powerful than your spells?"
Sun Shengyin became quiet, looking a little serious, and it seemed that the country was not as calm as it seemed.
Sun Shengyin has never felt inferior like this, just after the ban was lifted, and after some mana, he became arrogant.
Without knowing the environment, he carelessly made such a mistake, and was suppressed by people with spells, unable to turn back into his original body, let alone use any spells.
Now he can't say that he is protecting Tang Sanqing, he can only be his drag, no different from an ordinary monkey.
I don't know what kind of potential danger exists here, how can he protect himself when he is alone?
Damn it!
It's a shame!
Thinking about this, Sun Shengyin obviously looked like a monkey, but his expression was tangled and he looked very sluggish.
At this moment, he felt a warm and soft touch above his head.
"Ah Yin, I don't need anyone's protection, you are my companion, not a servant, and a friend who went to the West Heaven with me to learn scriptures. You've been taking care of me all this time, and now it's time for me to come, I must take care of myself, and Ah Yin! ”
Tang Sanqing stretched out his hand and touched his head, swearing that his starry eyes were full of seriousness.
It's obviously an existence that can't survive without others, and holding a dagger will hurt him by mistake, but he naively said that he can protect himself and protect him.
Sun Shengyin wanted to mock him loudly as usual, but he suddenly remembered his current situation and did not make a sound.
Eventually, he stood still, not waving the hand above his head that was gently caressing like a feather.
After Tang Sanqing confirmed what he should do next, he walked out of the alley with Sun Shengyin in his arms.
When the remote alley returned to tranquility, no one noticed that around the corner, the man who had been standing quietly gradually became quiet in his eyes as deep as the lake.
Immediately after, a pair of thin white bracelets were placed around his waist.
"You're so bad~ Didn't you say okay, you want to stay with me all day?"
"You're out of reach." He turned around and cupped her face softly with both hands, as if nothing in this world was more important to him than hers.
But his words are chilling, obviously close at hand, but his heart is like the end of the world.
……
Walking at the foot of the imperial city of Wusi Tibet, on the most prosperous street market, it is clear that the property market is lined up one after another, and the shops are dazzling, but it is inexplicably that Tang Sanqing feels a sense of disobedience.
When passing by a meat bun shop, I smelled a strong aroma of meat buns before I got close, and the fragrance was overflowing, which made people have a great appetite.
The seller of the buns was an elderly mother-in-law, leaning on the threshold, sitting on a small stool, staring at the sky with her eyes open, not knowing what she was thinking.
"Mother-in-law, can you give me two meat buns?"
Tang Sanqing took out his money bag and stepped forward.
"Okay, come on, take it!"
The mother-in-law came back to her senses, wrapped the two hot buns that came out of the cage quickly, and when she saw the little monkey beside her, she spoke again.
"Young man, you're not a local, are you?"
"Well, I came to the palace with the circus to perform."
"Oh, it turned out that I was going to perform for Lord Sha Zhan's birthday, then you have to perform hard, Lord Sha Zhan will not treat you badly!"
At the mention of this "Lord Sha Zhan", the mother-in-law's vicissitudes of life instantly became radiant, with a look of worship and yearning, and even her movements became respectful and restrained, as if it was a god-like existence that could not be blasphemed by anyone.
"It's about to be Lord Sha Zhan's birthday, I must be shortlisted for the concubine candidate this time, I really want to see Lord Sha Zhan~"
A woman's voice suddenly came from behind him, and as soon as Tang Sanqing turned his head, he saw a girl with a delicate face, talking shyly and timidly.
Immediately afterwards, the girls not far away, like a group of flowers and butterflies, suddenly gathered over, and the sound of chirping yellow warblers came from all directions of Tang Sanqing.
"Yes, I really want to see Lord Sha Zhan!"
"It is rumored that Lord Sha Zhan has a stunning appearance that can be compared to Tang Sanqing, so I really want to be able to see it with my own eyes."
"However, this time there is a lot of competition, and it is said that there are many adult women this year, and the number of people who have signed up for concubine candidates is three times more than last year!"
"No matter what, I will not give up, Lord Sha Zhan is the god in my heart, just like a round of Xuanyue hanging in the distance, I look forward to being close to him day and night, everything I have is given by him, I want to dedicate myself to him!"
"Me too, I definitely don't love Lord Sha Zhan a little less than you!"
……
By chance, Tang Sanqing, who was mentioned by them, was in the center of the crowd with a blank face, not knowing why this group of girls was so excited and impatient to discuss.
What kind of person is Sha Zhan?
"Excuse me, who is Sha Zhan? Is he a royal nobleman in this country? ”
She couldn't help but ask a girl.
Fang Cai still had a look of longing, and the smiling girl's face changed, looked at her with empty eyes, and said indifferently.
"Is Lord Sha Zhan's name what you can call directly? In front of Lord Sha Zhan, you are not even as good as the sand under his feet, what qualifications do you have to ask him about it? Say, Who art thou, and what is your purpose? ”
The girl's words were hard to listen to, and she held Sha Zhan in her mouth like a god, not in the mortal world, and degraded her worthless.
As a descendant of the royal family, how could she have ever been insulted with such words.
Tang Sanqing couldn't help but want to refute, but Sun Shengyin grabbed the placket of her clothes and signaled her to be restless, now she was alone, and in the face of so many people, it was not wise to be impulsive at this time.
It's so weird!
Everything is so strange here!
From the moment she stepped into this city, the uneasiness that had been haunting her heart lingered, and a looming sense of disobedience continued to accumulate and breed, like a black hole expanding and devouring.
looked at the empty and numb faces in front of her, and constantly delayed her with a cold gaze, and even her mother-in-law, who was still chatting with her just now, shared the same hatred with them and constantly hated her.
At this time, an idea continued to gather and take shape in her mind.
She lowered her head and looked at Sun Shengyin, meeting his solemn eyes, and the two of them knew each other.
Where the lingering, shadow-like sense of disobedience came from, she finally figured it out.
No matter how prosperous and splendid the exterior is, it can't hide the withered and cold heart.
Since entering the city, no matter where Tang Sanqing goes, she can always see the bustling crowd, the dazzling shops, and the appearance of the prosperous and prosperous era that makes her eyes fascinated.
Sometimes when you are in it, you lose your eyes to see the essence.
In fact, after she entered the city, she found that her country, which was known as a hundred years of prosperity, was much backward compared with the closed country of Wusi Tibet.
If you don't enter this closed country, you can't imagine that its interior is so well-being, and the phoenix leads to nine chicks.
Such a rich and prosperous life is probably the happy life that all the people yearn for.
But she passed by countless people, but she had never seen a real happy smile in this country, they were gorgeously dressed and graceful, but they seemed to be wearing cold masks, empty and numb looks, deep and dull eyes as if they had never put anyone in them, walking in a hurry, not squinting.
The whole city, nay, the whole country, seemed to be bound by a web woven of cold treachery, firmly bound to them, and the ancient well was waveless and lifeless.
In the gorgeous and elegant street market, there was not a single beggar in ragged clothes and begging along the street, and everyone seemed to live a prosperous and luxurious life in the gentle countryside.
Tang Sanqing's father, Li Cunmiao, was known as the "Hundred Years Holy Emperor", he said, even he has times when he is powerless, no matter how hard he tries, it seems that at the foot of the flowery imperial city, there are still displaced and lonely people.
However, the emperor of the Tibetan kingdom of Usz did just that, and he made the people of this country truly feel free to live in paradise on earth.
But what she felt was a contradiction in why the people of her country had so many more smiles on their faces than the people of this country.
Only when they mentioned "Lord Sha Zhan", everyone seemed to be in a demonic obstacle, and their eyes were full of blind worship for Sha Zhan, as if it was not an exaggeration to die for him, such deep feelings were like being shrouded in a vast nightmare and losing their minds.
Tang Sanqing woke up like a dream, and only then did he realize that such a scene was simply terrifying.
More and more people gathered, their faces identical, their eyes cold, expressionless, cold as ice, as if they were wearing a thick mask.
They approached aggressively, questioning her, suspecting her, refusing to leave anyone with a heart behind.
Tang Sanqing was at a loss and hugged Sun Shengyin tightly, for fear that one would accidentally be separated from him.
