Chapter 263: The Price
"Lord Anzhen, why don't you speak, is Qingji making you unhappy?"
Looking at the tender girl in front of him, the young onmyoji didn't know what to say for a while.
He was not good at words and rarely interacted with strangers.
It's not even good to speak, let alone lying, let alone facing a person of the opposite sex.
But to be honest, he was about to be cremated on the spot, and at this moment, the pressure on the teenager was really great.
Caobi Gu threw a rescue look at Luo Mingzhang: "My lord, what should I say?" β
"Won't you know that?" Luo Mingzhang said: "Say you love her, miss her, can't live without her!" β
"But, yes, but ......"
"Shut up and do as I say!" Luo Mingzhang: "Your teacher said, let you listen to me in everything!" β
The boy nervously swallowed a mouthful of saliva and looked at the girl in front of him:
"Kiyohime, I'm ...... I ......"
However, before he could speak, Qing Ji was the first to speak:
"Lady Anzhen, is this true?"
Qing Ji's eyes flashed brightly, and she automatically substituted what Luo Mingzhang said just now into the young man's body: "Do you really miss me?" β
Looking at the girl's expectant gaze, Caobi Gu nodded stubbornly.
"Lord Anzhen, have you completed your cultivation? Won't you leave Kiyohime in the future? β
"My practice has come to an end, and now I am following this adult!"
This sentence is the truth, he did not stutter.
"That's better for this lord! I love this grown-up! Qing Ji said: "Your master won't let you see me, I'm a bad person!" β
"Huh!" Luo Mingzhang said with a smile: "Aren't I just a good person? β
The words of these two people embarrassed Caobi Valley.
Luo Mingzhang knew that Qing Ji recognized Caobi Valley as An Zhen, so he regarded the master in the young man's mouth as the old monk who prevented them from seeing each other.
Kiyohime's sanity is somewhat confused.
This may have something to do with the filthy nature of her contamination with the chaos of the Eight Snakes.
She confuses her memories and perceptions of herself as a human and after she became a ghost.
"Lord Anzhen, can you stay with me now? You've finished your practice, and you've said that you'll come to me after you've practiced, and that's your agreement with me! β
"But I am now going to serve by this lord's side." Kusakami said, "I can't stay yet. β
The light in Qing Ji's eyes dimmed, and a layer of blood once again appeared on her eyes: "Liar......"
The girl's body was once again filled with an ominous black aura.
Her own experience has made her extremely resentful of lies, and even makes her lose her mind.
And Kiyohime's definition of a lie is also very extreme, and the slightest discrepancy with the promise may cause her to react.
"He's not a liar, he's a good man who keeps his promises." Luo Mingzhang said: "He has now completed his cultivation and has also come to this place where you have met you. β
"Huh!?" Qing Ji was stunned for a moment, she felt that Luo Mingzhang's words seemed to have no problem logically.
"Now that he is serving me as Lord, he has to follow me, and this is also a sign of his promise." Luo Mingzhang said: "Miss Qingji, shouldn't the man you love be this kind of gentleman who keeps his promises, does Miss Qingji want him to break the contract with me?" Breaking an oath? β
"No, absolutely not! Lady Ahn Jin must not break her promise. Kiyohime said firmly, "But, but...... I also want Lady Ahn Jin to be by my side......"
The corners of Luo Mingzhang's mouth hooked up a smile.
Even if it is a neurosis, there must be a core point in the logic of thinking.
The core of Kiyohime's thinking logic is undoubtedly lies and promises, as well as her resentment against love.
All of her actions are based on her own judgment of promises and lies, and she acts only after acting.
As long as they can convince Kiyohime on this logical point, then they can get out safely.
The young onmyoji also seemed to understand Luo Mingzhang's intentions, and he said to Qing Ji: "Miss Qing Ji, we have met, now I should fulfill my promise to my lord and go with him." β
In Kusakabeya's eyes, Kiyohime is just a poor girl.
Whether she was let down by An Zhen or became a ghost clan, it was not her own willingness.
She just wants to be with the person she likes, what's wrong with that?
"What then?" Kiyohime's face was full of confusion: "I can't let Lord An Zhen become a treacherous person for me, but I don't want to leave him......"
At this moment, Qing Ji's gaze fell on Luo Mingzhang's body, and her eyes suddenly lit up.
She turned her head to the young onmyoji and smiled:
"That's right! I didn't think of that just now! If you want to follow this lord far away, then I also consider this lord to be the master, can't you just go with him? So that we can be together. β
Grass Wall Valley: "Huh? β
The boy was stunned on the spot.
Do you really want to play Monk An Zhen all the time?
Want to play a qualified boyfriend?
Looking at Kiyohime's smiling face, he felt so much pressure......
At this moment, a white light emanated from Qing Ji's body, shooting into Luo Mingzhang's eyebrows.
Like the succubus Eveliel at that time, she took the initiative to hand over her soul origin and unconditionally served Luo Mingzhang as the master.
It seems to have sensed the soul connection between Luo Mingzhang and Qing Ji.
A spirit sealing card flew out of its own accord and sucked Kiyohime into it.
The spirit card fell into his hand, and on the front of the card, Kiyohime appeared sitting on a golden bell with a large knife in his hand.
The phantom of a white snake wrapped around the Admiralty, and the white flames were burning.
On the back of the card, a corresponding message appears:
[Name: Kiyohime]
[Race: Oni/Half-Hero]
γRegion: Toyoγ
γAttribute: Fireγ
[Faction: Chaos Neutral]
[Rank: 5th Order]
[Skill: Immortal Admiralty, concretizing the golden bell of Daocheng Temple where the monk Anzhen is hiding, even if the strength of Qing Ji has increased greatly after the serpentinization, he has not broken this golden bell from beginning to end, and its strongest defense power is also gradually fused with her heroic ability in the legend of Qing Ji, and the golden bell has the ability to trap the enemy and defend at the same time. γ
[Skill: Snake Flame, a flame that embodies the breath of the Yellow Spring from Qing Ji's anger, and has an extremely high temperature like gold molten iron. γ
[Skill: The body of the ghost snake, turning the body into a half-human, half-snake form, so that it can attack at an extremely weird angle in close combat, and the slippery and fine scales also have the ability to deflect physical attacks.] γ
[Source: The woman trapped in love turns into a ghost clan and a youkai, and Kiyohime's anger at the deception because her loved one has not kept her promise, and the eight figurative snakes are cut down and fused with the flesh and blood nearby, making it a half-human, half-snake monster.
She eventually found the monk Ahn Jin, who had failed him, and trapped him in the golden bell of the temple and burned him to ashes with flames of anger. γ
[Deception...... Hate...... Flame ......γ
Luo Mingzhang looked at the spirit card in his hand and smiled bitterly.
It turns out that there is such an operation!
It is I who underestimated a woman's dedication and determination to love.
Even the other owner of the Thousand Heart Collection, Mizen Suzuka Lian, was dumbfounded.
Kiyohime suddenly surrendered her soul origin and took the initiative to become someone else's "Shikigami", which was indeed beyond her expectations.
Mizen Suzuka's original intention was just to see how this man who made her feel special would deal with Kiyohime.
Together, they have been the owners of the Thousand Heart Collection of Rashomon Street for hundreds of years.
During this period, they also encountered many humans and ghosts who resembled An Zhen.
After Kiyo-hee mistakes them for Ahn Jin, these people have nothing more than three reactions, either denying their identity as Ahn Jin, or running away out of fear, or bending to meet and pretend to cater to them.
However, the first two of these three options will be perceived by Kiyohime as a renegade on her promise, and the latter will be perceived by Kiyohime, who is extremely sensitive to lies.
Eventually, they will all be burned alive by Kiyohime's flames.
Luo Mingzhang used a way to rub the edges, using Qing Ji's core logic to guide her to make her own choice, and finally let Qing Ji put herself in.
Such a situation was something that Mizen Suzuka never dreamed of.
She looked at Luo Mingzhang: "Interesting, you are really extraordinary, I am more and more interested in you now." β
"Would you believe me if I said it was a little bit different from my plan?" Luo Mingzhang said: "It wasn't my intention to accept her as a royal spirit. β
After all, no one wants to keep a neurotic by their side.
But now he absolutely can't break the contract with Kiyohime.
He already understands Kiyohime's core logic, and he knows very well that if he does, Kiyohime will think that he is preventing her from being with "An Zhen".
When the time comes, she will become the target of her killing.
And directly used the ability of the spirit master to kill Qing Ji, his bottom line did not allow him to do so.
Luo Mingzhang released Qing Ji from the spirit sealing card, and saw that she immediately happily grabbed Caobi Gu's arm.
And the young onmyoji's whole body stiffened, and he didn't know how to react at all.
He threw a rescue look at Luo Mingzhang, and Luo Mingzhang adhered to the principle that friends of the dead are not dead and poor, so he decisively chose not to see it.
"Clean up this place!" Suzuka in front of the Gozen commanded to the attendants of the Thousand Heart Collection.
"Yes! Your Excellency! β
Yuzen Suzuka immediately looked at Luo Mingzhang and the others: "You guys come with me!" β
Immediately, everyone came to a pavilion on the third floor of Qianxinji.
This is the room where the landlord usually stays.
"You came to the Thousand Heart Collection, you want to know something!" Suzuka said, "There is nothing I don't know about this Rashomon Street, or even in this big country. β
She looked at Luo Mingzhang with a smile: "What do you want to know?" Of course, all of this comes at a cost. β
"Landlord, I know the rules." Tuyumen Yanming said: "I still have a lot of Demon Kingdom coins here, I believe it is enough to buy some information." β
Yuzen Suzuka didn't even look at Tuyumen Yanming, her eyes stared directly at Luo Mingzhang:
"This time, I wanted to order something else."
"What does the landlord want?" Luo Mingzhang asked.
The smile on the Heroic Woman's face was even stronger:
"I want your blood......"
