Fighter of the Destiny

It took Shuang'er a while to wake up.

She could tell that the young Taoist priest was not deliberately mocking or teasing her, but he really didn't listen to what he said. Seeing the other person's serious and calm expression, she didn't know why, but she became angrier.

She said bitterly: "You will die."

Chen Changsheng opened his eyes wide and said, "Everyone will die."

Shuang'er said: "You know that's not what I meant."

Chen Changsheng said seriously: "Thank you for telling me this."

Shuang'er looked ugly and said: "Madam wants to break off the engagement, just agree to it, and you will get rewards. Why do you have to be angry and say that you are here to break off the engagement? Do you think this can save some face? If that's the case, that's fine. Why did you change your mind in the end? The repeated appearance is really not good-looking."

"Actually... I really came to break off the engagement. It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not, but I really don't want to break off the engagement now."

"Why?"

Chen Changsheng tilted his head and thought about it seriously, a smile gradually appeared on his young face, because he confirmed that he had found a reason to convince himself, and said: "Because... you haven't asked my name."

Shuang'er didn't understand.

"From the time I entered the mansion until now, neither Madam nor you have asked me my name."

Chen Changsheng looked at her and said seriously: "My name is Chen Changsheng. I know this name is very tacky, but Master hopes that I can live forever. It has good intentions, so I always use this name."

When he said this, his eyes were very bright and his expression was very upright.

Shuang'er suddenly felt that this seemingly ordinary young Taoist priest had a certain luster about him, perhaps that kind of serious temperament? She understood his reason and felt inexplicably ashamed of herself.

From the moment he walked into the Divine General's Mansion to now, no one has asked his name. But he didn't show anger or humiliation. No matter when facing his wife or Shuang'er, he behaved very politely, without any lack of etiquette, and even seemed a little dull. But the wonderful thing is that those who made him unhappy, They all ended up being more unhappy than he was.

It's not that he's very good at making people unpleasant, it's that he's conscientiously doing what he thinks he should do. No matter he breaks off the engagement or changes his mind, he always thinks that it is right, and he is so sure that it makes people feel a feeling that is difficult to deny. Therefore, those who make him unhappy will eventually be too depressed to be happy.

Shuang'er has lived in the Divine General's Mansion since she was a child. Because of the young lady, she has a very high status. Even the Divine General and his wife have no harsh words for her. She has never met anyone like Chen Changsheng. She was not used to this feeling, and subconsciously she felt uneasy. She didn't know whether it was to convince Chen Changsheng or to convince herself, but she spoke in a stronger tone.

"Only my lady in the entire continent has the blood of a true phoenix. She is unique!"

"There is a sentence in my senior brother's notes that I have always thought makes sense. I give it to you now. I hope you can understand it seriously in the future. He said: Everyone is unique in the world."

Chen Changsheng looked at her and said seriously.

…

…

There is a simple stone arch bridge at the end of the long street. Under the bridge is not the Luo River, but an inconspicuous small ditch. Chen Changsheng walked to the bridge and turned back to look in the direction of the General's Mansion. He saw that the place was quiet, but not less prosperous. There were countless mansions and beautiful gardens, among which the Xu Mansion was the most conspicuous and prominent. He couldn't help but shake his head. .

After he entered Kyoto, he did not go to those scenic spots, nor was he in a hurry to go to the Tomb of Heavenly Books. Instead, he freshened up by the Luo River and went directly to the General's Mansion - he wanted to break off the engagement. He was really anxious. If he married a young lady from the General's Mansion, and if his illness couldn't be cured, why bother the other party? Even if it can be cured, it will probably take many years.

He didn't want to delay the other person's youth, but he didn't expect that he would face those rolling eyes, those contempt, and those ridicules in Xu's mansion. Looking back now, since the age of ten, the temple has not received any gifts from the other party, and the two parties have broken off contact, indicating that the other party has long regretted the marriage. He came to Kyoto today to take the initiative to break off the engagement. It was a matter of course and mutual consent, but he did not expect to encounter such a battle, so he changed his mind on the spot.

He has no spiritual practice and is not a Taoist priest, but he has been deeply influenced by reading Taoist canon since he was a child. In addition, his own life is bleak. Therefore, in the Three Thousand Dao, what he seeks is to be in harmony with his heart - the so-called "satisfaction" means peace of mind. Coming all the way to Kyoto to break off the engagement was just what I wanted. Not breaking off the engagement would be the way to go with his heart - the Divine General Mansion was rude, so he didn't want the other party to go with his heart - because that would make it difficult for him to go with his heart.

Of course, until now, Chen Changsheng just wanted to worry the general's wife, who hid her coldness behind a kind face, and the maid, whose eyes only looked at the sky. After a few days, he would naturally return the marriage certificate to the other party. Human life is at stake, and the happiness of Miss Xu's life is always much more important than the cold treatment and the blank stares he suffered. He still thinks so.

However, it is still very unpleasant in the end. Sometimes, Chen Changsheng himself would forget that he was still a fourteen-year-old boy, but he was still a boy after all. He had his own pride and dignity, and he would always have emotions when he was humiliated.

He walked down the stone bridge and bought two sesame seed cakes from a street stall. He squatted on the stone slab by the river and ate the sesame seed cakes while looking at the Shenjiang Mansion in the distance, feeling a little sour in his heart. He knew where this emotion came from, but he knew better that if this emotion was allowed to overflow, it would hurt the body and would not help solve the matter.

On the Luo River in the distance, sail shadows are like clouds. On the long street across the river, there are wolf riders from the west. From a very far distance, it seems that you can smell the putrid smell in the mouths of those giant wolves. There were shadows floating across the water, and when he looked up, he saw a Pegasus with snow-white wings, dragging a gorgeous giant chariot flying towards the north. At the archery tower of the city wall in the distance, the red goshawk responsible for military communications kept taking off and landing. Farther away in the blue sky, there were the flying chariots of the City Patrol Department patrolling in all directions, looking like those annoying dragonflies outside the temple...

This is the Kyoto of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and there are countless magical scenes that are unimaginable to the common people in the countryside. Chen Changsheng gnawed on the sesame cakes, opened his eyes wide, and watched these scenes with relish, comparing them with the records in Dao Zang, wondering when he would have the opportunity to see those legendary magical creatures, such as the one in the palace. The spirit turtle that has been carrying the stone pillar for more than three thousand years wonders if there are still those legendary noble and majestic dragons in the palace. It is said that the rarest and most noble golden dragon has not appeared in the human world for tens of thousands of years. Will you have the opportunity to see it in the future? By the way, there is also the rumored Phoenix...

The sesame cakes are very fragrant and hard, and it takes a lot of effort to eat them. Chen Changsheng originally thought that he had put all the experiences in the Divine General's Mansion behind him and had successfully eliminated those slightly sour emotions. However, when thinking of the word "Phoenix", he naturally thought of the True Phoenix that he had just heard about today. blood, thinking of the Miss Xu Mansion who had the blood of the true phoenix, and also thinking of the gadgets I received many years ago...

He looked at the last piece of sesame cake between his fingers and was dazed for a while, then put it to his lips, chewed it carefully thirty-two times before swallowing it, took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped the debris off his hands. He stood up, picked up his luggage, and disappeared into the crowd.

He didn't notice that there was an inconspicuous carriage parked on the corner of the street not far away. There was a dim blood phoenix emblem somewhere on the carriage shaft. Of course, even if he saw it, he wouldn't know it. The emblem represents the Dongyu Divine General's Mansion - after Miss Xu's birth, the Holy Queen gave the blood phoenix to the Divine General's Mansion as the new emblem. This is a supreme honor and a kind of declaration.

The war horse in front of the carriage has the blood of a unicorn, and his eyes look at the running water under the bridge, looking very indifferent. The eyes of the old woman in the carriage are also very indifferent, but there is also some surprise and vigilance hidden in it.

She had been following Chen Changsheng since he left the Divine General's Mansion. She did not expect that the young man could act so calmly after seeing the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty. He did not look like an ignorant country boy at all. That's because she didn't know that the boy had read countless books since he was a child, had seen countless scenery in the books, and traveled countless miles.

…

…

Xu Shiji was sitting in the study, his burly body exuding a faint smell of blood. Across the window, a kingfisher on a tree more than ten feet away hid its head under its wings in fear, not daring to make the slightest sound. The powerful aura with the blood evil proves the terrifying strength of the Great Zhou God General, and also shows that he is in a bad mood now.

What made him feel so irritable was the half jade pendant on the desk.

"Back then, when my father was in the position of Dazai, he won the trust of the Queen of Gods and was ordered to go to Mount Tai to preside over the burning of books as part of the ceremony to declare to heaven. In order to sabotage the event, the demons sent Gong Yangchun to secretly assassinate my father. My father was seriously injured. Your Majesty, the Pope, personally He could not be cured even by going to Mount Tai. It was not until a traveling Taoist passed through Taishan County that he cured my father's injury, and so we had this engagement."

Mrs. Xu whispered: "It seems that that Taoist does have some abilities."

Xu Shiji raised his head, looked at the blue sky outside the window and said: "The world is full of winds, tigers, clouds, and dragons, and there are countless strong men. That Taoist can be called a sage in the field of medicine. Of course he is extraordinary. Otherwise, how could his father betroth Rong'er to his future wife?" people?"

Mrs. Xu was a little uneasy and asked: "The most important thing now is the marriage certificate... If that person has no background and is not an important person, things will not be tied up."

Xu Shiji said with an indifferent expression: "Let that little Taoist priest wake up."

Mrs. Xu's voice became even lower, and even if you weren't careful, you couldn't hear clearly at all: "That little Taoist priest doesn't seem to be someone who can just give away casual benefits. What if he stalks you? Next year the Tomb of Books will open, and all the saints in the south will An envoy will definitely be sent over, and then I'm afraid I'll have to formally propose marriage to the court, but nothing can go wrong."

Xu Shiji narrowed his eyes slightly, like a tiger about to sleep, and said: "Then burn him to ashes and throw him into the Luo River."

It will be the rainy season in a few days, and the Luo River will soon rise. Whether ashes or bones fall into the river, they will disappear instantly.

Because I have been away from home all the time, my writing is a bit rough. I will revise the previous chapters when I get home.

The title of this chapter is my voice.

Everyone is okay.
