This tea has no taste at all.

If Su Ziyu's strength is still there, it will be a big deal to fight with Qing Ji in front of him, but now he is only consciously attached to An Zhen's body, An Zhen is just an ordinary monk, and he can't even beat the other party's little finger.

If you can't beat it, you can only outwit it.

But Su Ziyu still doesn't know how to break free from this real dream, but he has a little clue, and he has to try it to know.

"Anzhen."

"You've been on the road for a day. I'll soak your feet. Just when Su Ziyu was distracted, Qing Ji walked in with a wooden basin.

It was filled with hot water and sprinkled with a few flower petals.

Qing Ji put the wooden basin at Su Ziyu's feet, and then stretched out her white fingers to help him take off his shoes, at this time An Zhen's residual consciousness made trouble again, it seemed that he wanted to break free his feet from Qing Ji's hands, how could Su Ziyu let him do bad things again, so he forcibly suppressed An Zhen's residual consciousness, and at this time he was fighting for control of his body.

"How? Hot or not? Do you want to add some more cold water? Just when Su Ziyu suppressed An Zhen's residual consciousness, Qing Ji was already holding his feet with both hands and putting them in the wooden basin, not caring about the dirt on his feet, and gently pinching the soles of his feet very gently.

The soles of my feet were pressed by a pair of tender fingers, and I felt a little itchy.

An Zhen's remaining consciousness finally stopped resisting, and Su Ziyu couldn't help but be stunned at this time, it was the first time that someone had washed his feet so gently and carefully when he was so big. He looked down at Qingji, who was carefully cleaning the dirt in front of him and carefully massaging the soles of his feet, and his expression couldn't help but ease a lot.

If it weren't for that sick love and possessiveness, Kiyohime would have been a perfect Fuso-style wife like Yamato Nadeshiko.

She is also very beautiful.

The small face is extremely delicate, with slender willow eyebrows and bright eyes, giving people a feeling like a small jasper, and in terms of appearance, only Qingxing Lantern can be compared to her among the monsters that Su Ziyu has seen so far.

"Let me do it myself." Su Ziyu said slowly.

He is still not used to being served, and he is afraid that he will not be able to do it if he softens his heart, but he knows very well the essence of the beautiful girl in front of him, and at this time, Qing Ji is almost about to become a monster. As long as the slightest mistake stimulates her, she will immediately turn black into a monster with a human body and a snake tail, and instantly burn Suziyu into a pile of charcoal.

"Is the concubine not doing well enough?" Qing Ji raised her head, looking pitiful.

"That'...... Then you can continue......" Su Ziyu wanted to refuse, but was afraid that Qing Ji would turn black again, so she could only be forced to enjoy her service.

After washing Su Ziyu's feet clean, Qing Ji walked out with a wooden basin, and said softly before leaving: "Then you have a good rest, and I will take you to a fun place tomorrow." ”

She's finally gone.

After Qing Ji left, Su Ziyu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, he stood up and looked at the room, and found that there were a lot of Buddhist scriptures on the shelves.

Kiyohime's family should be very rich.

Although this manor is in the suburbs, it looks not small, it should belong to the level of the landlord, Qingji is an only daughter, if she really marries her, it should be no problem to be a small landlord for the rest of her life. Su Ziyu couldn't understand why An Zhen repented, is it because in his heart Buddhism is higher than the love of children?

Sure enough, the monk's thinking is indeed different from that of ordinary people.

Su Ziyu looked through these Buddhist scriptures boringly for a while, and he didn't know what to do about the situation in front of him, so he could only wait for the old monk to come back first.

However, the old monk seems to have chatted with the Qingci monk.

Su Ziyu waited for a while without waiting for anyone, at this time the night was getting darker, just when Su Ziyu was about to take a break and talk about it tomorrow, An Zhen's remaining consciousness came out again: "No!" Kiyohime must be trying to keep me here. ”

"I have to find a way to escape."

"It's now."

Then, An Zhen's residual consciousness suddenly seized control of her body and cautiously touched the outside of the manor.

it!

Don't mess around!

I haven't thought of what to do!

Su Ziyu tried to snatch control of his body, but An Zhen's residual consciousness was quite firm at this time, and there was only one idea of escape in his mind, and he couldn't seize control of his body for a while.

The gates of the manor are right in front of you.

An Zhen didn't care so much, and actually wanted to climb out of the fence directly.

"Where are you going?" At this moment, a faint female voice suddenly came from behind her.

It's over.

This one must be cold.

An Zhen turned her head a little stiffly, behind him was Qing Ji with an expressionless face, her face was no longer the gentle color she used to be, a pair of eyes had turned into a demonic vertical pupil, a little dark red flame appeared around her, Qing Ji said coldly: "You really lied to me!" You want to escape! ”

"I ...... I'm going to Kumano to pay homage......" Ahn Jin was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and even he didn't believe in this shoddy excuse.

A dark red flame struck.

In the piercing pain, An Zhen's whole body turned into charcoal, and the strange flames began to spread, and soon the entire manor was burned to ashes, and Kiyohime, whose body turned into a snake tail, appeared in the flames, wantonly venting her anger, turning everything around her into a sea of fire.

………………

"An Zhen, An Zhen!"

"Get up."

Su Ziyu slowly opened his eyes, and then scolded: "! Dead again! ”

He didn't pay attention to the surprised old monk next to him, and stood up directly, patted his buttocks, and said, "Let's go." It's going to rain. We've got to hurry. ”

This is not the second time that Su Ziyu has been burned to death by Qing Ji.

In fact, he had just been burned to death by Kiyohime for the eleventh time, and after dying so many times, he was almost used to Kiyohime's flames, and the pain made him a little numb.

Su Ziyu tried a lot of ways to break the game, and even tried to escape halfway, not going to Qingji's manor.

But he didn't expect that in the middle of the night, he was caught up by the demonized Qing Ji, and then another fire burned to charcoal. After dying so many times, Su Ziyu has gradually understood something, that is, An Zhen really wants to be a monk, even after dying so many times, his residual consciousness is already very weak, and even about to dissipate, he will still forcibly take control of his body and escape at a critical time.

To run away is to die.

Suziyu has already discovered the contradiction.

If he goes to the manor and suppresses An Zhen's residual consciousness too much and gets closer to Qing Ji, then An Zhen's residual consciousness will resist and run away in the middle of the night, which is basically a dead end. And if he doesn't suppress An Zhen's residual consciousness, then because he is too cold, he will trigger Qing Ji's inquiry in advance, asking him if he wants to regret it, no matter how he answers at that time, Qing Ji will quickly turn black, which is also a dead end.

An Zhen is determined to become a monk.

Qing Ji is also determined to ask An Zhen to marry her, otherwise it will be a cremation ending.

Both of these people are extremely paranoid people.

Su Ziyu has died so many times in the contradiction between the two sides, if she gets too close to Qing Ji, An Zhen's residual consciousness will rebel, and she will soon run away and be burned to death. But if you follow An Zhen's thoughts, Qing Ji will turn black at night, needless to say, it will also be an ending of being burned to death.

Poor Su Ziyu thought about it for a long time, and finally came up with a way to break the game.

That is to let An Zhen become a monk again and marry Qing Ji.

Of course.

In this day and age, that is not possible.

Because the current monks are absolutely not allowed to marry wives and have children, but in the distant future, the monks of Fusang can marry wives and have children.

Soon.

A manor appeared in front of him, and Kiyohime's expectant figure quickly appeared.

"You're finally here." An unusually gentle female voice rang out.

Qing Ji walked quickly in front of Su Ziyu, and said with a very happy expression: "An Zhen? Hungry, right? ”

"I've got some food for you."

An Zhen's residual consciousness at this time can no longer control the daily behavior of her body, and she will only run away without her life under certain circumstances.

"Hmm." Su Ziyu smiled politely and kindly.

He nodded, took a half step back, and said, "Let's go in." ”

Kiyohime's expression was a little lost, but she quickly followed.

The next plot, Su Ziyu is already very, very familiar, he quietly enjoys Qing Ji's service, and then waits for the night to come.

The old monk went to discuss Buddhism with the Qing Ci monk again.

And after a while, Qing Ji also walked in with a wooden basin, if she wasn't too close to her, she wouldn't have brought tea, but if Qing Ji didn't come over at night to wash An Zhen's feet, then it basically meant that she was about to turn black.

Su Ziyu indifferently enjoyed Qing Ji soaking his feet, he was burned to death by Qing Ji so many times, and it was also appropriate for her to serve her.

"Sit down." Just as Qing Ji got up and was about to take the wooden basin out, Su Ziyu suddenly said, "Do you like to listen to stories?" Let me tell you a story. ”

Qing Ji knelt beside her very obediently and said softly, "As long as you say it, I love to listen to it." ”

An Zhen used to tell her some stories, but they were all stories from Buddhist scriptures, the purpose was to make Qing Ji understand that he couldn't give up the Dharma, and by the way, see if he could convince her to give up.

Kiyohime didn't like to listen to boring Buddhist scripture stories, but she still listened patiently.

"This story comes from the Eastern Tang Dynasty." Su Ziyu's tone was very calm, as if he had returned to the day when he told the story to Qingxingdeng, and said slowly: "The protagonist of the story is a monster, a snake spirit who has cultivated for thousands of years, and his name is Bai Suzhen. ”

Not a story from a Buddhist scripture?

A youkai?

Kiyohime's beautiful pupils were gloomy, and her gentle expression gradually disappeared, but she was still full of curiosity, as if she wanted to know what kind of story it was.

"Once upon a time, there was a boy who was herding."

"He rescued a baby white snake from a snake catcher and released it......"

Su Ziyu told Bai Suzhen's story unhurriedly, and it could be seen that Qing Ji in front of him listened very attentively, and seemed to have substituted herself into Bai Suzhen's role, especially after hearing that Bai Suzhen's water flooded Jinshan was suppressed under the Leifeng Tower, the whole person couldn't help but tense, and wisps of dark red flames appeared around her body.

"This Fahai is really hateful!" Kiyohime's pupils were full of anger, and she emitted a strange glow as if she was on fire.

When the end of the story is heard.

Her face was full of joy again, as if she was excited about this happy ending.

"What a wonderful story!" Qing Ji's gaze became gentle again, full of water, looking at Su Ziyu in front of her stupidly, and said softly: "Qing Ji will also strive to become a wife like Bai Suzhen!" ……”

Su Ziyu was silent.

An Zhen's residual consciousness seems to be another sign of wanting to rebel, and he is determined to become a monk.

"You know what?" Su Ziyu thought for a while and said slowly: "Becoming a monk and studying Buddhism is my lifelong pursuit. ”

"But there is no way for a monk to marry a wife and have children."

"I'm troubled by that."

"If I marry you, I won't be able to be a monk. But if I want to be a monk, I can't marry you anymore. ”

Hearing Su Ziyu's words, the air around him suddenly fell silent.

Qing Ji's expression gradually became cold, a pair of faint pupils stared at him, shallow vertical pupils had emerged, it seemed that if she didn't say a word correctly, she would directly turn black into a monster.

Su Ziyu looked up at Qing Ji's faint vertical pupils, as if ignoring the ghost fire burning beside her, the experience of watching movies countless times in his previous life, the acting skills of generations of actors are blessing him, he has even completely entered the play, completely substituted himself into An Zhen, and said in an affectionate but extremely complex voice: "Do you know? ”

"Yesterday I had a dream about the future in a long, long time."

"At that time, the monks of Fusang could marry wives and have children!"

"At the time, I was thinking, how nice it would be if we lived in such an era!"

Su Ziyu sighed softly, and then said in a deep voice: "I will marry you." ”

"But it must be after I come back from my visit to Kumano, becoming a monk is my life's pursuit, and I have to personally end this period of karma."

Qing Ji was silent for a long time when she heard this, then looked up at him and said, "Okay." Then I'll wait for you to come back. ”

"In the future, a long, long time later, will the monks of Fuso really be able to marry wives and have children?"

Qing Ji only cares if An Zhen will marry her, as for whether she is a monk or not, it doesn't matter, the monk can't marry a wife is what she hates the most. If she could, of course, she didn't want An Zhen to give up her lifelong pursuit.

"Hmm. That's what it was in that dream. Su Ziyu said slowly.

In the 5th year of the Meiji era, in order to weaken the power of Buddhism, the Fuso government imitated Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's edict and issued the "Ban on Eating Meat and Wives", declaring that "monks will henceforth be obedient to their own convenience, whether they grow their hair, marry a wife, have children, or eat wine and meat." At first, this decree was extremely resisted by the monks, but the monks inside could not stand the unevenness, and some people began to blatantly drink wine and eat meat, marry wives and have children, and the decree also allowed the temple to be inherited as private property, which could be passed on directly to their descendants. This leads to the fact that the monks who keep the vows have no heirs, but those who break the vows can turn the temple into their own family property and pass it on to their descendants.

"Lengyan Sutra" once said: In the era of the end of the law, the evil master said the law, like the sand of the Ganges.

When the demon king was extinguished, he also said: At the end of the Dharma, my son and my grandson were monks, wearing your robes, destroying your Dharma, having the name of a monk, and practicing the way of demons.

Nothing was said all night.

Suzi finally survived until the next morning.

The next day, Qing Ji personally sent him out, and An Zhen's residual consciousness, which was about to dissipate, took over control of his body at this time, he took a deep look at Qing Ji in front of him, and then walked into the distance without looking back.

Along the way, Suziyu became a bystander again.

And An Zhen's residual consciousness seemed to be burning, obviously it was about to disappear, but he persevered extremely tenaciously until he came to a place called 'Daocheng Temple'.

Meanwhile.

Qing Ji, who was waiting at home, suddenly shook her body, she seemed to feel something, and ran out like crazy, and soon the whole person was running in embarrassment, I don't know when her eyes have turned into a pair of demonic vertical pupils, and the body of the lower body has turned into a narrow snake tail. Kiyohime's whole body turned into a demon, and she flew along the road, startling countless people to flee in all directions.

Little by little, the temple appeared in front of it.

Qing Ji's figure set off a strong wind and approached here, she looked at the trembling monks in front of the door, with an expressionless face, and said coldly: "Let An Zhen come out to see me!" ”

He didn't go to Kumano to worship!

He came to this temple!

He lied to me!!

Wisps of dark red flames appeared around Kiyohime, and the calmer her expression became, the colder it became, a suppressed and restrained mad rage that was about to erupt.

But in the next second, her anger suddenly extinguished.

"An Zhen has already sat down." An old monk walked out slowly, with a somewhat frightened expression towards the demonized Qing Ji and folded his hands and said, "Come with me." An Zhen left some words for you. ”

In front of a large bell, An Zhen's body sat cross-legged, like an enlightened monk, but it had long lost the breath of life.

Qing Ji slowly swam over, her expression extremely sad, she leaned down and reached out to caress An Zhen's face, and saw a piece of paper left by him before his death, on which was written a Chinese poem.

- "I was worried about hurting the Brahman, and I was afraid that I would not fall into the city when I entered the mountain." ”

- "The world has the law of both, and it lives up to its promise." ”

Drops of blood-red tears slipped down.

Qing Ji in front of her hands holding the paper were trembling, muttering this poem that An Zhen left her before she sat down, the whole person was already choked to speechless, her demonic breath gradually faded, the original dark cyan snake scales turned into crystal white little by little, at this time Qing Ji actually turned into a white snake in just a few breaths, she slowly, very carefully, extremely gently wrapped around An Zhen's already sitting body, murmuring: "If there is no you in this world, what is the point of me living alone?" ”

Wisps of deep blue flames emerged.

The flames soon rose up, devouring Ahn Jin and Kiyohime, and the two of them died in front of the bell as the flames dissipated.

………………

"Thank you."

With a faint sound of thanks, Su Ziyu slowly opened his eyes.

"It's finally out!"

Su Ziyu's expression couldn't help but be stunned, and he looked at his palm, where a strange bead lay quietly.

- "An Zhen's Reason [Legend]." ”

Meanwhile.

Somewhere in the forest, a somewhat panicked voice sounded: "Not good! He's awake! Kiyohime should be waking up soon! ”

"I need to run!"

"Otherwise, he'll have to find me desperately!"

"Old slippery head!"

"I'm going to be miserable by you this time! This real dream actually damaged my century-old Taoism! ”

"No! Looks like I can't stay here! I'd better go to the Ryukyus! ”

Mount Fuji.

In a dense isolated forest, in a temple that had been burned and turned into ruins, a female voice suddenly came from a hurry, worry.

"Ahn Zhen !?"

A long, narrow white snake tail flashed through the ruins of the temple, and then disappeared into the lush forest.
