Chapter 52: Family and Home
Manjushri's fingers were withdrawn, Guanghan was too guarded in the mansion, and the phantom behind Zhou opened his mouth to suck at the red canopy, and when the purest essence merged with the phantom, the Taoist phantom behind him was more condensed, and there was a feeling of semi-substance.
The damage of the post station was even more serious, and Zhu Falan's relics were also eaten by Zhou Cheng's incarnation, and at this moment, the glazed jade body was larger than before, as if Zhu Falan's relics had also made it grow a lot.
However, it is a pity that the top three flowers of a half-step Arhat were consumed by the power of the Star Array.
"Uncle, why are you wearing a mask?" Zhou Lan pulled the corner of Zhou Cheng's clothes, tilted his head and asked curiously.
"Because we are going to Luoyang soon, there are some people there who have seen the appearance of their uncle, so it will be more convenient in the future. Zhou Cheng bent down and hugged Zhou Lan, he said it very casually, as if Fang Cai's nine deaths had never happened.
The battle between Zhou Cheng and Zhu Flange was isolated by the formation, Qiao Yuwei and Zhou Lan did not see it, although they also saw the golden fingers that fell from the sky later, but the breath of the fingers was not aimed at them, and they disappeared quickly.
Soon Zhou Cheng took Qiao Yuwei's mother and daughter back to Taishou Mansion, and it also looked calm here, as if nothing had happened.
After returning home, Qiao Yuwei took Zhou Lan into the inner house, and Zhou Chu and Zhou Cheng walked into the study, as if they were still discussing important matters.
"The decree of the court has been given, and we will leave in three days. Zhou Chu sat opposite Zhou Cheng, and when he spoke, he put a relic the size of a goose egg in front of Zhou Cheng.
"What a fluke this time..... I'm afraid that such an existence is Da Luo Jin Xian, right?" Zhou Cheng accepted the relics, and said with some excitement in his tone.
He planned with Zhou for a long time, waiting for this time to lure the Buddha Gate into the bait, and everything was in their calculations at first, but in the end, the golden immortal pointed at them, so that they did not have the slightest power to resist.
"It's a fluke.... This time is the best time for them to kill us, and after arriving in Luoyang, even Da Luo Jinxian will not make a rash move. Director Zhou said with a sigh of relief, and a relaxed smile appeared on his face.
"It's a pity that I can't condense the Yuan Shen, this life has stopped here, otherwise, I really want to kill the previous Buddha Gate Golden Immortal one day and swallow his relics. Zhou Cheng said with some regret, he has been in retreat for a few years, and has condensed the other five gods except the mind, and now in addition to the glazed jade body, there is still the possibility of becoming stronger, and Zhou Cheng's own strength can no longer go further.
"That's the Buddha Manjushri Bodhisattva, a great Luo Jin Immortal who has attained enlightenment in ancient times, I'm afraid I won't be his opponent in my heyday!" Zhou said with some amusement, in his eyes, Zhou Cheng was really a little happy and hateful, ignorant and fearless.
Zhou Cheng was wearing a mask, and he couldn't see the expression on his face at the moment, but it was also very exciting to think about, and after a while, he asked curiously: "When will my brother be able to achieve the Yuan Shen?"
"There are some things that should be told to Brother Cheng....." Hearing the word Yuanshen, Zhou said in a somewhat stunned tone.
Zhou Cheng didn't speak, just looked at Zhou Zhi quietly.
Since the beginning of the change of killing the tiger and killing the Jiao in Zhou, Zhou Cheng has never taken the initiative to ask the secret of the change in Zhou, and now it seems that Zhou Cheng is going to confess to Zhou Cheng at this time.
"I can't condense the primordial spirit in this life..... Because.... I only have a remnant soul left, or I am the reincarnation of a remnant soul. Zhou Chu said seriously and told Zhou Cheng his biggest secret.
"Oh. Zhou Cheng responded very normally, and his tone was a little unexpected.
"Huh, Brother Cheng is not curious, who is the reincarnation of the remnant soul of my brother?" Seeing Zhou Cheng's reaction, Zhou asked with some surprise.
"Haha.... Didn't my brother tell me that I only want a Dao heart to be at ease? I don't care who you were in your previous life, just know that in this life you are my brother and my family. Zhou Cheng's voice sounded from under the mask, full of recklessness.
"Haha.... What a Dao heart at ease..... Brother Cheng is much more free and easy than me. That's right, we're a family, we're brothers. What about the rest?" Zhou also smiled with relief when he heard this, much more free and easy than before.
"If it's okay, the little brother will retire first, this relic is a good thing, hehe!" Zhou Cheng picked up the relics of Jiaye Moteng and said with a smile, now he can only use his glazed jade body to continuously devour the relics of the Buddha Gate to enhance his strength.
"Go ahead. Zhou Shi waved his hand and said nothing more.
After Zhou Cheng left, the smile on Zhou's face gradually converged, and after a long time, he said in disappointment: "This time it's a fluke.... There won't be such a coincidence next time....."
Three days later, Guanghan City was crowded. Today is the day when Zhou left Guanghan and ascended to Luoyang.
He served in Guanghan Taishou for five years, and his political achievements and reputation were excellent, and his prestige among the people was also very high.
The team around finally walked out of Guanghan City, and headed towards Qinling Mountains, heading towards Luoyang.
Luoyang is more prosperous than five years ago, with a lot of fire cooking oil and flowers.
The official position of the Zhou Department had been set a few days ago, and he was the imperial historian who supervised the hundred officials, and the imperial court also arranged a mansion for him, a deep mansion compound that was in line with the identity of the imperial historian.
"Mother, is this our future home?" Standing outside the gate of the Zhou Mansion, Zhou Lan looked at the tall vermilion lacquer gate with an expectant expression.
"yes.... This is the home of the future. Qiao Yuwei pulled Zhou Lan and looked at the plaque with the word 'Zhou Mansion' written on the door, and her face also showed a little relief.
There is a feeling of finally returning home after a month of trekking.
"Brother Cheng arranged, when I first entered Luoyang, there were two of them that I had to visit first. "Zhou did not enter the mansion, and when he first arrived in Luoyang, he had to visit Wang Hun and Wang Rong first.
Whether you want to or not, you must have a circle to accommodate yourself, and you are in a very strange circle around you. It should be two to be exact, because the two major Wang families have accepted him today.
Taiyuan Wang and Langya Wang, although they are both surnamed Wang, the relationship between the two families is not harmonious, and there are even occasional confrontations in the court.
Zhou Chu first visited Wang Hun, and then went to visit Wang Rong. Whether it was in Wang Hun's Mansion or Wang Rong's Mansion, he didn't stay around for too long, and he only had a simple exchange with these two people.
Whether Wang Hun has any secrets, or whether he is the reincarnation of a certain power, Zhou Zhi still can't be sure, but Wang Rong is definitely not an ordinary person, and they already know this everywhere.
However, whether it was in Wang Hun's Mansion or Wang Rong's place, these people, together with Zhou Zhi, all acted like ordinary people and said high-sounding words in the officialdom.
Even these people knew that not long ago, there was a golden immortal who was angry and wanted to kill Zhou Chu and the others, but then he was inadvertently disturbed by a terrifying sword qi. But they can pretend that they don't know anything, don't talk about these things at all, as if wearing a mask, and continue to talk about the government and politics, and talk about the metaphysics of articles.
When Zhou returned to the mansion, Qiao Yuwei and the others were still busy decorating the new home.
Seeing the busy appearance of the house, Zhou also showed a knowing smile on his face, maybe this is the true meaning of home, a place where people can put down their masks and abandon all pretenses!
"Is it okay for the husband to go to see the Duke of Jingling and the Marquis of An Feng?" In the bedroom in the mansion, Qiao Yuwei turned her back to Zhou, sat in front of the bronze mirror and took off her makeup, and asked Zhou casually.
An Fenghou is Wang Rong's title, because Wang Rong saved the lives of Qiao Yuwei and Zhou Cheng back then, and he is extremely grateful to Wang Rong Qiao Yuwei.
Zhou Shi had already taken off his robe and lay on the bed, he looked at Qiao Yuwei's back, still with a smile on his face.
"Jingling Gong has countless wisdom, and I am afraid that no one in the world can match it, but seeing him can't help but remind me of a person. Zhou Chu said what he thought of Wang Hun in his heart.
"Who?" Qiao Yuwei was taking the earrings, her hands were pinching her earlobes, and she turned her head curiously to look around, but this simple action had a thousand styles.
"Zhuge Kongming...."
Zhou said a name faintly.
