I'm Really a God

Kou Ziqing smiled when he heard it, but he didn't expect the little girl to mind this, so he said immediately:

"It's cute, and the hair can grow back."

Uesugi Komachi nodded sullenly, knelt on the table mat in the room obediently and silently, Kou Ziqing saw that there was still time to think about it, took out a brush and white paper, and started to draw, the little princess heard the rustling sound curiously Glancing at him, Kou Ziqing quickly finished the drawing and handed it to her, saying:

"look."

The noble little girl was stunned after taking it. The picture on it was a girl with short hair who was very similar to her, but she was a few years older, as if she was a few years later.Sitting upright in a kimono, she is indescribably dignified and beautiful.

Chapter 36 Rise to the Sky

"This is……"

Princess Komachi held the drawing paper with a look of surprise on her face, Kou Ziqing smiled and said:

"This is you a few years later when I saw your face, princess. In fact, short hair is also very cute."

"Me in a few years? Can this kind of thing be done?"

"Of course, it's not something too mysterious. A person's face can be deduced forward or backward."

Uesugi Komachi still finds it amazing, looking at his own portrait, he said with joy in his heart:

"Can you give it to me?"

"Who didn't give your portrait to you? After a few years, look at this portrait and then look in the mirror to see if there is a big difference. Of course, you still have to grow your hair long."

Uesugi Komachi nodded happily, put away the portrait, looked at Kou Ziqing and said:

"Master Izayoi, can you tell me about your affairs?"

"Don't call me my lord, I can't afford that. What do you want to hear from me?"

"Tell me about your subduing demons and eliminating demons. I heard that you got a magic knife from Thor's attachment. Is there really a god?"

Hearing the curious words of the little princess, Kou Ziqing said strangely:

"Have you heard my name?"

"Well, when my mother and I went to the temple to offer incense, I heard the host and some mages discussing your matter."

Kou Ziqing immediately knew that his reputation had spread among the upper echelons of Musashi Kingdom, so he smiled and said:

"Gods are not true or false. Believe it or not. It is something that was born in people's hearts. We believe in gods. It is best to believe in their spirits, such as the bravery of Thor, the knowledge of the god of culture, but don't expect them to be extravagant. It is difficult for the power of the gods to interfere with reality, and it is impossible to easily manifest and give direct help to someone. As long as the spirit is compatible and you work hard, many things will be like divine help."

Kou Ziqing briefly talked about his views on God, and the little princess seemed to understand and half understood:

"If I believe in Buddha, do I need to learn Buddha's compassion??"

Kou Ziqing felt that the little princess had some understanding, so he said immediately:

"Yes, you are also a Buddha if you have a firm and compassionate heart, but in this era, a compassionate heart cannot solve problems. People who are too merciful in this troubled world are like mud bodhisattvas crossing the river and cannot protect themselves. Buddhism also has King Ming and King Kong. It can be generalized. And the most important thing about compassion is that it cannot become a woman's benevolence, which is not good but evil."

"I understand. It's like Izayo-kun, you kill demons. Killing thieves seems to be killing, but you are doing justice for the sky."

"For Heaven's Way is a good word. You have read some Chinese books. Among them, there are many explanations for Heaven. It's not just God's will. Demons and ghosts are also part of heaven and earth, and thieves are also human beings. The same thing, the benefits of killing them can only be experienced and obtained by kind people, and have no impact on nature or the world, so this heaven is the common people in the world, and the will of heaven is the will of the people."

Even though Princess Komachi has some savvy and advanced education, she is much smarter than ordinary commoner girls, and it is still difficult to digest Kou Ziqing's words. Kou Ziqing smiled and patted her head and said:

"Read more books and think slowly in the future, you still have plenty of time."

Uesugi Komachi kept nodding, at this time Ashin walked in and took a deep breath when he saw this scene, Izayoi-sama, you...you really don't care about your status.Ashin coughed, Kou Ziqing let go of his hand and said:

"Ashin, have you notified the king yet?"

"Yes, the Lord laughed three times when he heard the news, and hastily prepared a banquet of the highest standard to invite you to celebrate!"

Ashin was elated, but Kou Ziqing twitched his face. He really didn't want to eat the white rice and dried salted fish of the upper class.But this kind of thing can't be shirked, so I have to say:

"What about the little princess?"

"The people who greeted her are already outside, and His Royal Highness Ji Jun will immediately send her to reunite with her parents."

"Well, that's fine."

Princess Komachi smiled happily when she heard that she was going to meet her parents. During the days of being imprisoned, she really wanted to go back to her parents all the time.But when Kou Ziqing sent her out and saw the sedan chair and guards waiting outside, he suddenly hesitated and didn't go forward.

"What's the matter? Feeling timid because of the proximity to the country?"

"No...you can still..."

"What else?"

"Can we meet again? Izayo-kun."

Seeing Princess Komachi's timid look, Kou Ziqing bent down and said to her:

"Of course, I live in Musashi Country, Maple Village within the jurisdiction of Tokura Castle."

Kou Ziqing knew that after going back this time, Princess Komachi might be strictly protected, and she probably wouldn’t be able to leave Fukaya Castle for a year or so. Think about how many years Uesugi had been the Lord of Musashi, when Princess Komachi Married as an adult will not be implicated, and the battle of the three daimyos Uesugi, Takeda, and Gohojo will continue until the death of Oda Nobunaga, which is enough for an ordinary person to live a lifetime.

Princess Komachi naturally didn't know that Kou Ziqing had seen the future decades later. After nodding happily, she entered the sedan chair. After watching the escort leave, Ashin reminded implicitly:

"My lord, although the lord of the country loves Ji Jun very much, her destiny is to marry another daimyo as his wife."

"Huh? I know, what's wrong?"

Seeing Kou Ziqing's open eyes, Ashin suddenly felt that he was thinking too much, and said embarrassedly:
