Chapter 54: Like a Dream

"Father is out there and hasn't come back yet. The uncle didn't let anyone deliver the news to him. Aunt Chen and Qingshuang had delivered the news, but they were blocked. As for Qingfeng's current situation, I don't know very well. Chang'an said bitterly. I guess my father will be very sad when he returns. I hope he won't have conflicts with the family because of this. ”

"This matter was chosen by Liu Qingfeng himself." Changning said coldly with a hint of sarcasm. Thinking of Liu Wenyu again, I had a headache. After Liu Wenyu comes back, he will definitely run for Liu Qingfeng's affairs. After all, it was his favorite child. How could he watch his favorite child being imprisoned and punished, and now that the conclusion has not yet been announced, Liu Qingfeng can be said to have an uncertain future, and his life and death are unknown.

According to Changning's thoughts, with Liu Qingfeng's behavior and conclusive evidence, at least he will be wasted of air pockets, and at least his cultivation will be completely lost, and he will not be able to cultivate for life. At worst, it is crippled. For a mystery, such a punishment is not insignificant. But what can be done? Liu Qingfeng's crime is to collude with other races and murder the family. If it's a stricter patriarch, maybe when he catches someone, he will be dealt with secretly.

With the current situation, Liu Wenyu has no way to save Liu Qingfeng at all.

"I hope my father doesn't do irrational things." Changning sighed.

Hearing that Liu Wenyu was mentioned, Chang'an's mood became extremely low. I don't seem to want to talk about Liu Wenyu after I came back. The face is a little unpleasant. So he changed the topic again, "My sister is going to retreat tomorrow, so let's go talk to my mother early." My brother is going to Wutang. Retreat is also a rare experience. You don't have too much pressure. Just go with the flow. ”

"Hmm. I know. Changning nodded obediently in agreement. I was only in retreat for a week. Feel it first. ”

"Hmm. Then I'll go first. You are also well prepared. After Chang'an spoke, he glanced at Changning and got up and left Changningju. Changning sent him to the gate of the courtyard, and walked straight to the Jiang family's Yourong Courtyard.

Today, it seems to be exceptionally quiet. There was no sound at all in the yard. The maid who is usually on duty in the courtyard doesn't know where she went. Jiang was not in the main house either. Finally saw a little girl carrying a kettle, Changning hurriedly stopped her and asked, "Where did Madame go?" ”

"Miss Hui, Madame is in the Buddha Hall now." The little maid said as she led the way for Changning.

Buddha Hall? Changning Khan. Although there is a sect called Zen Buddhism in this world. But they are not Buddhists. The people of the Xuanwu Continent only believe in the strong, in other words, there is no faith here at all, and they speak completely with strength. And there is no Buddha at all. Could it be that because of their own reasons, the followers of the Buddha have developed into another world?

Changning followed the little maid to the newly established Buddhist hall. This Buddhist hall is located at the back of the main house of Yurong Temple, and it is a small secluded private room. This used to be Jiang's practice room. In the distance, you can see that the smoke is filled, and the thick scent of sandalwood wafts in the air. When you walk into the Buddhist hall, you can see a portrait in the middle of the Buddhist hall. The painting depicts a kind woman with a cloud-mane and a white samurai uniform. One hand is holding a mutton fat jade bottle, and the other hand is sprinkling nectar with willow branches.

This is obviously an otherworldly version of the Bodhisattva of Avalokiteshvara.

And Jiang was kneeling on the ground, reverently reciting the scriptures.

Nagato looked at the Bodhisattva in a samurai costume on the painting with a slight smile. Perhaps, in Jiang's heart, Guanshi Yin Bodhisattva should be a female warrior with super strong martial arts, right?

Quietly waited for Jiang to finish reading the scriptures. walked over to help the newly raised Jiang family, and said coquettishly, "It's good to miss it when my mother is fine." Why bother to be so solemn. Chanting sutras is just to soothe the mood and regulate emotions. It's just an occasional thing, where does it take so much time. It's better to spend more time cultivating Xuanqi. The good practice room was changed to look like this. ”

Jiang smiled faintly, "You kid." My mothers are in their thirties. No matter how much you cultivate, you won't become a master. I have already given up cultivation a long time ago. ”

This age should be the most brilliant period of life, and it is the age when the flowers are blooming just right. Changning's mood became sad. Looking at the gentle and beautiful ground of the Jiang family, Rong muttered. "It's only thirty."

Jiang flicked Changning's forehead disappreciatively. "Let's get out. I heard you're going into retreat. My mother has prepared some things for you, you can take them back to Changningju first. Niang also closed the test when she broke through the second order at the age of sixteen. It didn't taste good. Jiang seemed to be caught in a memory, although he said that the taste was not pleasant, but his face was a happy and nostalgic look.

Sixteen years old? I haven't married into the Liu family yet. is still a girl with a dream, beautiful and simple, and an age that is not full of illusions about the future. It's only been a decade now. Life is only half over.

"Hmm." Changning replied a little absent-mindedly.

"Speaking of which, Ning'er is much better than me. I turned nine this winter. Now he is already a fourth-order earth-level mystic. He is mature and intelligent. I will definitely have a good life in the future. In this world, you still have to have strength and your own dreams. And your brother is not bad. Now it's the third order lower level. In a few years, you will go to Haoyang Sect. Maybe after many years of returning, he will become a Saint-level powerhouse. It's really exciting. Jiang thought of his own pair of children, and his eyes were shining with pride.

Changning said amusedly, "Uh-huh. Or the mother is well educated! ”

"Haha." Jiang Shi nodded again and again when he heard this. Laugh.

Changning was stunned and looked at the Jiang clan blankly. It was the first time in years that she had seen her smile like that. Bright and brilliant, the depression of the past has completely dissipated from her face.

After laughing, Jiang turned his head and smiled at Chang Ning, and pulled Chang Ning towards the main house.

Changning only felt that the Jiang family at this moment was particularly beautiful, peaceful and free. Just smiling quietly can soak warmth into the hearts of others.

It's amazing!

Jiang seemed to guess Changningdi's thoughts, and said with a smile, "I just figured it out." Life is short for dozens of springs and autumns, why should I always have to worry about people who are not in my own place. Now except for you and your brother. I don't care about anything else. ”

Changning was incredulous. If it was really that easy to figure out, there wouldn't be so many tragedies in this world.

"All things are like dreams and bubbles, like dew and electricity, and they should be viewed as such. When I read this that day, I suddenly felt that the past came to me one by one, and it slowly passed like water. It dawned on me. Jiang smiled faintly, his eyes were bright because of seriousness, and his tone was full of emotion, "That feeling is really strange." It's a little late to come to my senses. But it's not too late. Now, when I look at the sky, I feel that it is much brighter than ever. ”

Could it be that the Jiang family also had an epiphany? Changning's face was delighted.

"Oh, yes. The mother's Xuan Qi has also been raised from the fourth order to the fifth order. Jiang said happily to Changning.

Changning felt a little incredible. An epiphany can improve cultivation, this Changning knows, and she has also experienced it herself. But it can change a person's state of mind. It's just too mysterious. Changning stared at Jiang seriously, "Life is like morning dew, we really shouldn't worry about some unnecessary things. After speaking, he glanced at the Jiang clan, who was listening carefully, and said slowly, "Actually, many people understand this truth. It's just hard to do. Mother, have you really figured it out? ”

Jiang was stunned for a moment, looked at his daughter's serious expression, thought for a while, and then replied seriously, "At least, that's what I think at the moment." ”

After saying that, the two wanted to smile. In the wordlessness, there is not only the warmth between mother and daughter, but also the tacit understanding between friends. Their hearts have never been so close.

On this day, when he returned to Changning Ju from Yourong Courtyard, Changning's mood was no longer as heavy as before, and became brisk. No matter what happens in the future. At least that's good for now.
