Chapter 44: Rumors in Kyoto

"Will we have to wait hundreds of years?"

"Or, we should really study the power of time, no matter how powerful the legend of the past is, it is impossible to beat time. ”

"Of the 3,000 Daozang, there is only one volume. ”

"Then let's look at the scroll first. ”

"Understood, please help me with the details when the time comes. ”

The decision had been made, and seeing that it was getting late, Chen Changsheng stood up and said goodbye and walked outside the hall.

Shuang'er stood on the snow outside the hall, paying attention to the movement outside at any time, and when she saw him come out, her expression was very complicated.

Chen Changsheng was about to say something to her, when he suddenly heard Xu Yourong's voice behind him.

"You're close to Miss Cinnabar?"

Chen Changsheng was stunned for a moment before he realized that the cinnabar girl she was talking about was the little black dragon, and asked puzzledly, "Close?"

"Mo Yu has seen you hug each other. ”

Obviously, Xu Yourong deliberately controlled his voice very calmly, because the calm was almost dull.

Chen Changsheng was speechless, thinking that the black dragon was like a mountain, how could he hold it?

"Don't you know...... If she doesn't guard the dragon body, she will be a good-looking little girl?"

......

......

The night had come, and Chen Changsheng looked at the calm small pond in silence and the broken residual ice on the surface of the water.

The little girl and the black dragon, or just an overt change, but give a completely different feeling.

There is a very big difference between having a name and not having a name.

Wang Zhice gave her a name back then, called cinnabar.

He also gave her two names, one called Squeak and the other called Red Makeup.

There seems to be some faint connection between them.

The Frost Dragon who died in the Zhou Garden had a noble and infinite soul yearning for freedom.

She was the daughter of the Frost Dragon, and she must have had a heart that longed for freedom, but she had been imprisoned for so many years.

It's really pathetic.

He didn't say a word to the pond and left directly.

That night, he entered the Zhou Garden through the stone bead left by Wang Zhice.

He didn't pay attention to the beast tide that was as low as the ocean, but noticed that the current Zhou Yuan was much better than some time ago.

The water pools around the grassland have been dredged, and the collapsed cliffs have been cleared.

He went to the lakeside on the other side of the waterfall and found the scroll of time among the dried books on the stone.

He returned to Dusk Valley and began to read by the light of the sky in the distance.

I don't know how long it took, but he put away the scroll and said to the majestic mountains in front of him, "Please rest assured, I will rescue your daughter." ”

......

......

In the courtyard of the North Terracotta Hutong, Zhou Tong was also watching the time roll.

Now the world only remembers him as a cruel and terrible minister, and has long forgotten that he was also known for his profound knowledge in the beginning, and he was a master of the Enlightenment at the peak of the stars.

Ever since Archbishop Merissa returned to the Sea of Stars, he had been studying the Chronicle until recently, when he finally realized the true meaning of the Scroll.

"Is it really possible to change the flow of time?"

Looking at the snow in the yard and the lonely begonia tree in the snow, the blood-colored sea in the depths of Zhou Tong's eyes kept rolling, looking extremely tyrannical and terrifying, which meant that his mind was in a state of shock at this time, and Zhihai was uneasy, and even the cold Dao heart was a little uncontrollable.

With the passage of time, the blood-colored ocean in his eyes gradually calmed down, and his pale face showed a little tiredness and sentimentality, he knew that since he decided to follow the Holy Queen Niangniang to start a prosperous era and sink into this blood-colored ocean of eternal disaster, it was never possible to reach the end of the long road of cultivation, whether it was time or space, it was already a realm that he could not touch, but this did not mean that no one in this world could do this.

He believed that if he could advance to the legendary Divine Hidden Realm, or with the help of some extremely powerful formations, it might really be possible to change the flow of time with the help of the Time Scroll, then this also meant that someone's age might have been modified, maybe that young man and that Prince Zhaoming were just the same age?

......

......

Two rumors spread in Kyoto.

The first rumor is quite nonsense, saying that the dean of the National Education College, Xiao Chen, is the queen of the Chen royal family, and it is even very likely that he is the prince Zhaoming who disappeared during the palace change. No one believed this statement, because Chen Changsheng was obviously much younger than Prince Zhaoming, and compared to this rumor that seemed to be a bit shocking, the people of Kyoto were more willing to believe the more cold and gloomy rumor - poor Prince Zhaoming had already been covered in swaddling clothes by the Holy Empress Niangniang's own hands.

The second rumor has sparked more interest and has been recognized by more people. It may be that Tang Thirty-six drank too much wine that night and told the maiko in the restaurant, it may be that when Shuang'er returned to the hand warmer commonly used by Miss Fufu, the Eastern Imperial God General, she showed her mouth under the side knock of the lady, or it is more likely that some real masters occasionally looked at the streets and alleys on the high platform in Kyoto and found the picture of the young man and woman walking side by side, and the yellow paper umbrella failed to cover Chen Changsheng's face...... Many people in Kyoto have heard that in the days after the Battle of Nai Ho Bridge, the holy woman and Dean Xiao Chen often met, and it is said that Dean Xiao Chen would visit her in the palace from time to time.

Today is the day when King Chen Liuwang has a treat, and Chen Changsheng is the guest of honor. The theme of today's gathering is snow appreciation, snow appreciation naturally has to chant poetry, several students of the National Education College who came to the palace with Chen Changsheng to increase their knowledge, and the students of the Qingteng Five Academies discussed poetry, and they were defeated in a few rounds, and now the status of Chen Changsheng and the National Education College is completely different from before, whether it is the teachers and students of the Heavenly Dao Academy or the Sect Worship Institute, no one dares to mock this matter, but the students of the National Education College still feel a little gloomy, and secretly look at Chen Changsheng from time to time.

Chen Changsheng naturally felt these gazes, and naturally began to miss Tang Thirty-six - that guy was the best person to deal with this kind of scene, whether he was mocked, humiliated, or ignored, or his own morale was low or even despaired, he had a way to turn the atmosphere around.

As in the past, Tang Thirty-six, who had always disliked King Chen Liu, didn't even bother to give an excuse for some reason, and directly refused to participate in today's poetry meeting, but he didn't go too far, and sat in the carriage of the National Religious College with his good Maiko, waiting outside the palace, pointing to the falling snow outside the window and saying poems, pretending to be a merry family.

The gate of the palace opened, and King Chen Liuwang personally sent Chen Changsheng and the others out.

The snow had stopped before, and the people of Kyoto, who liked to watch the excitement, gathered a lot in the palace, and at this time, with the appearance of Chen Changsheng, countless pairs of eyes suddenly turned over, and at the same time countless whispers sounded, and the quiet street in front of the palace seemed to have become a classroom.
