I have a deep love for Zhenjun

112.

Since the rainstorm that night, the patriarch's attitude towards me has changed significantly.

When he saw me in the past, he wished he could point to my nose and swear a few words to make him feel better.Seeing me now, even if he didn't smile on his face, he forced a smile, and then greeted me warmly, with an inexplicable flattery, which made me very uncomfortable.

What's more, not only did he no longer prevent me from interacting with Yun Min, he also asked me to pack my bags and move to live in the same mansion with Yun Min.It is said that it is more convenient to serve food and daily life in this way, and it can also enhance the relationship between the two of us.

Didn't he often say that the revival of the Crown God Clan is imminent, and that I won't be allowed to have any extravagant thoughts, and won't allow me to make any mistakes with Yun Min?

Why don't you care now?

I was really puzzled, so I had to go and look for Yunmo.

He has always been obedient to me, and I took it for granted that he would also know everything about me this time.

Unexpectedly, after hearing my intention, Yun Man just shook his head and avoided answering no matter what I asked.It wasn't until I was forced to be anxious that I raised my head, looked at me with a slight smile, and said four words concisely.

"I do not know either."

After getting along for so many years, although I don't know Yun Man's temperament well, I do know a thing or two.If he doesn't want to say something, even if he puts a knife on his neck, he won't say a word.

But whether you say it or not, it doesn't really make any difference.

After all, Yun Min seldom tells me to do things on weekdays.So moving to his house, to me, is just another place to serve the flowers and plants.

113.

While chatting one day, I overheard Ah Sheng talking about Dongji.

She said, Dongji Shaojun, that is, Fu Qing, by some means, found the extremely hidden habitat of the remnants of the demon world, crushed them to ashes, and Geng Yinze, the leader, was beheaded. Hang in the city to prove the truth.

Soon, he will take over as the master of Dongji, and the invitations have been distributed to all parts of the nine borders and six realms, inviting them to enjoy the grand scenery together.

I listened silently, a little lost in thought.

Fu Qing once said that if he could, he didn't want to take over as Dongji, but would rather be a free-spirited immortal.

So when I wrote the inscription for He Deng, I couldn't think of what wish I could make for myself, so I made a wish for him on my own initiative.

I hope he can get his wish, and from now on he will be unrestrained and roam the world freely.

Now it seems that things are backfired.

114.

On the day of Fuqing's succession ceremony, auspicious clouds entered the country, cranes hovered, and above the sparkling blue waves, there were silver flowers, jade snow, and a high platform with green carvings.

Dressed in white clothes that stretched the floor, he walked slowly across the steps, climbed onto the high platform, and then knelt down in front of a statue of a celestial girl with her feet on lotus flowers and her hands slightly open, and bowed deeply.

There was the sound of cranes chirping from the sky, and the statue of the goddess seemed to sense it, and a faint light floated around her, responding to it.The shimmering light was extremely weak at first, and then became brighter. Under the dazzling brilliance, a gold-plated token pierced through the clouds and fog, and stayed in the air.

Fu Qing took the token of Dongji with both hands, raised it to the top of his head, and bowed again, then got up, stretched out his hands, and the waiting maid put a big cloak on his body.

The cloak was extremely solemn and heavy black, decorated with black feathers, rolled in gold, and embroidered with several flying cranes on the hem of the clothes, the color was like frost and snow, and the top of the head was red.

I heard others whispering, saying that this black cloak is a symbol of Dongji masters in the past, representing responsibility and mission. Once worn, it can never be taken off.

Responsibility and mission... Is this really what he wants?

I looked up thoughtfully.

On the high platform of the jade carving, some tricks were used to plant a large piece of magnolia flowers. From a distance, it looks like a sea of ​​snow billowing and surging.

Fu Qing's figure is tall and straight, standing in this sea of ​​clouds in the mortal world, half of his black hair is tied under the silver crown, two red belts hang down from his ears, and a few bright red red beads are strung together.

He looked around condescendingly, and then spoke, his voice was flat, but very sonorous and powerful, which clearly reached the ears of everyone present: "From today on, I, Fu Qing, will take over the Xianyin of the East Pole. Everyone present, do you have any objections?" ?”

Only a few hundred years later, his aura is completely different from before.

It is no longer beautiful and bright, but solemn and solemn, which makes people daunting, and only dares to look at it from a distance.It looked like an ice statue of a lifeless human being, not a ten-thousandth of the agility I had when I first saw him.

Even so... it's beautiful.

I was fascinated, and it happened to meet Fu Qing's eyes.I was a little inexplicably happy, subconsciously pulled out a smile, and nodded at him as a gesture.

But his eyes didn't pause, as if he didn't bother to stay on me, he moved away very quickly, his expression indifferent.

The smile froze, I slowly closed the corners of my mouth and lowered my head.

Maybe there were too many people, so he didn't notice me.

115.

After the ceremony, there is a banquet.

Yun Min was called away before the banquet.

He had a brief conversation with that person, then turned his head and told me that he had something important to discuss, and asked me to stay where he was for a while—he always seemed to have a lot of things to do, but he didn't want to tell me what it was.

If he doesn't say anything, I won't ask, and I will obediently wait for him at the door.

Seeing that the guests were almost seated, Yun Man hadn't come back yet.Bored, I yawned and felt drowsy. I leaned my head lightly on the door, already in a daze, and almost fell asleep like this.

Suddenly, I heard a sound of steady and powerful footsteps, coming from far and near.I immediately shivered, opened my eyes, and there was a heavy night in the distance, and the figure of a person was vaguely outlined.

At first I didn't look carefully, I thought it was Yun Min who came back, but after I rubbed my eyes, I realized that the figure was not Yun Min, but Fu Qing.

Seeing him, I couldn't help but want to get closer, and called out: "Fu Qing."

He had no expression on his face, and walked past me without squinting.

I just pretended that he didn't hear and didn't care, so I stretched out my hand and grabbed him with a sincere expression: "Although I don't know if it's what you wish to succeed as the master of Dongji, but no matter what, I still want to congratulate you today."

Fu Qing was pulled by me, and finally stopped, his eyes fell on my hand that was touching him.After a while, he said coldly, "How sincere is your congratulations?"

His question caught me off guard, and I froze in place for a while, not knowing how to answer.

If I tell him that there is no heart at all, there is never any sincerity at all.But when I made a wish that day, I sincerely hoped that he would be happy in the future, and I wondered if he would find it ridiculous.

Seeing that I didn't answer, he slowly raised his eyes, the light gray eyes were shining with cold light.

"Three points? One point?"

Paused: "Or, there is no sincerity at all?"

"How could it be!" I unconsciously clenched his sleeves even tighter.

His tone today is really weird, revealing very obvious hostility.

How can there be hostility?Me and him...couldn't we even be called friends?

Thinking about my words, I murmured, "I, I don't know how to tell you. Maybe there is some misunderstanding between the two of us, but I do regard you as a friend, and I really hope that you will have a happy life in the future. It's not a lie."

"Friend?" Fu Qing sneered suddenly, "I haven't seen you in 400 years, but you haven't changed at all, and you still like to put on a show."

"What did you say?" I looked at him in bewilderment.

"In the past, I made mistakes and ended up being disgusted by others. I did it myself, so I don't ask for forgiveness from others. I just ask that you don't pass by and step on it, but you—" said Fu Qing, With a little effort, I took his hand and waved it away. Then I straightened my sleeves and brushed off the dust on them.

"You humiliated me in every possible way at the time, but now that you see me gaining power, you come over with a shy face. How do you write the word 'honesty', no one must have taught you, right?"

It's not that I haven't been humiliated face to face, but hearing him say that about me today, I feel a little embarrassed, and I can't be calm.

"Why do you say that about me? When did I humiliate you in every possible way?"

"...It seems that your memory is indeed not very good."

Fu Qing glanced at me coldly, and stepped forward, as if he didn't want to spend any more time with me.

I looked at his back, and I didn't know what kind of emotion I was harboring, but I repeated it softly: "Fu Qing, I really... regard you as a friend, and it's true... I hope you are all well. "

Fu Qing pushed the door of the palace open without looking back, leaving only this sentence: "If you want to be friends with me, you need to exchange your sincerity."

"do you have?"

Those three words fell lightly, and were quickly lost in the sound of silk and bamboo in the palace gate, without even a ripple.

The door of the palace closed slowly, shutting the figure inside.

He didn't look back.

116.

When Yun Min found me, I looked a bit lost. He called me several times before he summoned my soul back.

"Are you back?" I forced a smile.

He caressed my face, and said softly, "I was late on the road just now. If you get angry for waiting for me, you can punish me as you want."

Of course I dare not punish him.

Lowering his eyes, he shook his head: "Let's go in."

When Yun Min and I entered the palace, the banquet was obviously over half the time.During this period, there are staggered toasts, drums and music, and the sea jade pearls are shining brightly. The ground is paved with crocodile silk, and there is a faint layer of mist floating.

This was clearly a grand sight that would be hard to come across in a lifetime, but I couldn't get any interest, I just followed Yun Min silently, raised my head, and looked at Fu Qing who was sitting in the first seat.

He is not alone today, there is also a beautiful and gentle woman sitting beside him, who looks very familiar.

I thought about it, and finally remembered that when I was wandering in the Dongji Night Market, I accidentally collided with her and the river lantern fell to the ground. She picked up my river lantern and asked me about a people.

Why didn't I find out before that she looks very similar to Fu Qing.

Maybe it's because my eyes are too naked, which caused the woman on the seat to look at me frequently, with gentle smiles on the brows and eyes.

Fu Qing just drank in silence with no expression on his face, without looking at me, and only smiled for a moment when talking with the people around him.

I looked at it, lost my mind again, and didn't even notice that Yun Mo had stopped.He followed my line of sight, held my hand more and more forcefully, and said in a low tone, "Young She, what are you thinking?"

I looked back calmly: "Why didn't you leave?"

He looked at me silently for a long while, as if he wanted to say something, but restrained himself, and finally said lightly: "It's time to take a seat."

I looked down, and found that there was only one seat left in the banquet, and I probably already counted it, so I said softly, "Sit down, I'll just wait by the side."

Yun Man refused and insisted on letting me sit.Naturally, I couldn't go beyond the rules, waved my hands again and again, and was in a stalemate with him.

This move was too public and attracted the attention of the people sitting there. A gentle female voice said slowly: "One seat is missing? I'll ask someone to add another one."

I turned my head, and the voice came from the woman next to Fu Qing.She had phoenix eyes, and when she saw me, she smiled softly again.

I was about to thank you, but Yun Man said one step ahead of me: "Thank you, Lord, but I think... there is no need."

I swallowed what I wanted to say, and looked at him suspiciously, only to see that he lifted up his robe and went straight to his seat, and then he actually took my hand, and with some force, he bent me down and hugged me in his arms.

With my back against Yun Man's chest, I heard him say: "You don't want to sit alone, and I don't want to sit alone. There is no other way, then you sit on my lap."

Is he crazy?

I looked back at him in disbelief. There are so many people right now, and if someone who cares sees it, I still don’t know how to communicate my relationship with him. I’m afraid there will be hundreds of mouths that won’t be able to tell clearly.

I tried my best to break free, but he clasped my waist even harder, pinning it to my legs and making me unable to move.The gap between me and him is too great, no amount of resistance is futile, and there is no one around who can help me.

Seeing this, I simply lowered my head and let it go.

At this time, there seemed to be a cold gaze cast on me, I shuddered inexplicably, and looked up, but no one cared about my posture with Yun Min.

Maybe I think too much.

Looking at the dishes on the table, I had no appetite, but Yun Mo picked up a small and exquisite jade bowl on the table.

It is filled with snow-white and crystal-clear silver threads, dripped with amber-colored honey.

He scooped up a spoonful and held it to my mouth.I didn't open my mouth, and he didn't withdraw his hand, so I could only bite the bullet and taste it.

After finally swallowing it down, I heard Yun Mo ask me: "Is it delicious?"

The silver thread melts in my mouth, but I don't have five senses, so I can't taste it at all.

Just as he was about to say something perfunctory, Yun Jie said, "Don't lie to me."

I can only tell him the truth: "I'm just a piece of crown tree. Trees have no heart, and don't understand the five senses. Yun Mo, I have no sense of taste."

"...I was negligent."

Yun Mo put down the bowl in his hand, wiped the corners of my mouth for me, Fang said softly: "I just suddenly remembered that this is your favorite dessert. Once I ate six bowls in a row. I told you not to eat it , you are not too happy."

I showed a puzzled look: "When did I eat this?"

Yun Min smiled faintly: "It was a long time ago, it's normal if you don't remember."

I nodded, only to feel that I had nothing to say, and fell silent again.

"Young She." Yun Min leaned forward and kissed my ear lightly, "If one day, you can recover your five senses, would you be happy?"

I thought about it and said, "No."

"Oh?" Yun Man seemed interested, "Why?"

There is nothing to lie about this matter, I honestly told the whole story: "A few days ago, Ah Sheng told me a story. The plot of the story is not complicated, but she said a word that made me I am very puzzled, the word is "heart-piercing pain."

"I asked her, what is the meaning of heart-piercing pain? She looked at me and couldn't tell why. So I asked her again, has she ever been in pain?"

"She suddenly cried and said that she had been in pain. It had hurt when she had no relatives, and she had hurt when she was looked down upon by others. Every time the pain came up, it was like a sharp cone pierced her heart. Compared with the pain on the skin, it was more painful. It's a hundred times more painful."

"I thought at the time, fortunately I am a piece of wood, and I will never experience this pain. If one day I recover my five senses, I may be in pain, but I am afraid of pain."

Yun Min rested his chin on my shoulder and remained silent for a long time.

"Okay. You are afraid of pain, I will remember."
