windy cold

"Don't...don't come here...uh..."

When Jichen woke up, he wouldn't let Zhuqing get close to him. If he accidentally got closer, he would vomit until his whole body convulsed and couldn't stop.

The two had to be separated by a long distance, since Jiyuan closed his eyes and fell asleep after hearing Zhuqing's words, there was no movement, and the surroundings were silent.

Zhu Qingyuan was already full of guilt, and now she was even more ashamed, even with some resentment just now, muttering to herself: "Does he think my monster power is disgusting... that's right... I did harm him. "

Lu Wanfeng leaned on the tree, heard it clearly, shook his head, and thought: No, the collision of the Buddha's energy and the demon's power are mutually exclusive. Jichen is born with a deep connection with the Buddha, and the Buddha's energy is pure. It's uncomfortable, and if you get close again, vomiting is the most direct reaction.

Jichen didn't say anything, for fear that Zhuqing would be sad, and Zhuqing didn't ask, for fear of irritating Jichen.

He shook his head helplessly, the misunderstanding was deep.

When they set off again, Ji Chen's injuries were still unhealed, and Zhuqing rushed back to Chaohua Temple with the heavily tied Ji Yuan on his shoulders.

After returning to Chaohua Temple, Jichen stayed behind closed doors, and Zhuqing was kept out by the temple's Buddhist aura. She came to greet her every day, but all she got was "recover behind closed doors, no visitors are welcome."

During this period, Chaohua Temple widely distributed invitations, inviting celebrities from various Taoist families to come to participate in the Transposition Ceremony that will be hosted in more than a month. All families who received the invitation wrote back to congratulate and promised to come on time.

Ji Chen is indeed recuperating behind closed doors, but what he heals is not trauma, but internal strife.

It is a very long process to recuperate and reject. He already knew about the succession of the presiding officer. Now that the news is released, he must eliminate the demonic power in his body in a short time. unfavorable.

The illusion that Lu Wanfeng lived in revolved back and forth between Jichen and Zhuqing. Jichen, who was concentrating on seclusion, ignored the visits again and again, while Zhuqing, who learned about the grand ceremony, was blocked outside Chaohua Temple. Wandering anxiously, day by day, gradually dryness from anxiety, and anger from dryness.

As a result, thick fog rose in the bamboo forest in the back mountain, and Zhuqing kidnapped several young monks who were practicing kung fu in the back mountain, and let go of one, threatening to ask Ji Chen to redeem him personally, otherwise the people of Qingyuan town would not let them go if they continued to arrest them.

Ji Chen's retreat was forcibly interrupted when it was about to succeed, and it was almost a backlash. Zhan Ming urgently protected his body before barely recovering.

"Thank you, master, the matter of Zhuqing is all because of me, this trip must go."

Zhan Ming nodded lightly, moved the sandalwood beads, and seemed to close his eyes, but he was very clear, "Be careful, handle this matter properly, everything will be smooth, and if you make a wrong step, you may never be able to recover."

Ji Chen responded in a deep voice, made a big salute, and said solemnly: "Your apprentice must be very careful."

The mist covered the eyes in the bamboo formation, and the sunlight was weak, but Jichen went straight all the way, and walked in front of Zhuqing without hindrance.

This is a wooden house built out of thin air. Bamboo green stands in front of the house, just like standing opposite Ji Chen on weekdays, and said with a smile: "You are finally willing to see me."

He walked down the wooden steps in front of the door, trying to shorten the distance between the two of them, but Ji Chen immediately took a step back and asked, "Is there a brother in my temple?"

Zhuqing's face darkened a little, she didn't answer his question, she laughed at herself: "Now the whole world knows that you are going to inherit the position of host, it seems like a little monster like me is not qualified to approach you."

Ji Chen asked in surprise, "Why did Ah Qing say that?"

Zhu Qing still walked down, and sure enough, he forced the person back a step, "Do you think I'm a monster, think I've polluted you with demon power, so you don't let me get close."

After hearing this, Ji Chen felt ashamed, shook his head and explained: "I never disliked Ah Qing, it was my own fault, Ah Qing saved me from compromising my cultivation, and I was too late to be grateful."

"Then why are you hiding from me? For so long, you haven't given me a single answer!" Zhuqing questioned.

"...to inherit the position of presiding officer, one needs pure Buddha energy to be eligible to receive the blessing of the Buddha's baptism."

"So you want to stay away from me, right?" Zhu Qing smiled miserably, "You and I have known each other for more than ten years, from a young man to a young man, we have seen all the world's mountains and rivers, known all over the world's humanities, and we have been in love so far. To reveal my vulnerable little secret, I thought I didn't mind my identity, but in the end, I was overthinking it."

"Aqing..."

Zhuqing interrupted and said: "You haven't told me that you are going to take over the presidency, do you think there is no need to tell me..."

"No! I'm..." Ji Chen was impatient, and wanted to get closer, but suddenly felt sick, turning his head and throwing up.

Zhuqing choked up, backed away, and said in deep pain: "You have vomited countless times in front of me these days, do you know that every time I see you like this, I feel terrible pain here?" Zhuqing put her hand in front of her heart , Gripping it hard, "Every time you retreat, every time you repel, you make me feel extremely disgusted. Until now, I hate myself."

"The demon power...repels the Buddha's energy... I didn't want to tell you this, I was afraid of making you feel sad... I just wanted to get rid of the strange power by myself, but I didn't expect you to misunderstand it..." Ji Chen resisted objection , said in a trembling voice, "A few days of retreat, I have been busy with this matter, and I will soon succeed."

Zhuqing said quietly, looking at his pale face, it took a while before she said: "It was still interrupted by me, it failed."

Ji Chen shook his head and comforted him: "It's okay, just try again."

"I was interrupted once, and it will only be more difficult next time," Zhu Qing lowered her eyes and said in a low voice, "There are still seven days to go before the grand ceremony. In the end, I still hurt you."

"Seven days, as long as I meditate and practice my kung fu, there will be time," Jichen said, "Since the explanation is clear, Ah Qing will release my brother from the temple."

Speaking of this, Zhuqing restrained herself, her expression became dignified again, "They are in the room, but don't worry, I want to ask you a question—do you...must you continue to host and cultivate to become a Buddha?"

Ji Chen solemnly said: "Yes, this is my lifelong wish."

"...So, even if we break off diplomatic relations from now on?"

Ji Chen asked anxiously: "Why do you want to break off the relationship? Even if I can't go down the mountain often after succeeding to the throne, we can still see each other every day and talk about everything!"

"But I want more than that."

Ji Chen was taken aback for a moment, but seemed to understand what he was going to say, turned sideways and said shyly: "Isn't it always good for you and me to get along like we used to?"

"Not enough, not enough..."

"I……"

Zhuqing smiled lightly, put a finger on her lips, and gave him a faint smile, "Shh, I forced you here today for nothing but to tell you what's in my heart... just listen Okay, don't talk yet."

Zhuqing took two steps back, leaned on the wooden railing of the wooden house, slowly looked around at the green bamboos, and slowly recalled: "It's been more than ten years, and I still clearly remember the day when you and I met, when you first went up the mountain, little I am small, but to protect my fellow clan, I fought with my brothers and sisters with red faces. If I couldn't fight, I went to sue my master angrily and told him to uphold justice; what you don't know is that while you are arguing with them, we all Watching, everyone's eyes widened, it was the first time to see a human being who was so considerate of us, it was very strange;

Later, you couldn’t fight, but you gave up, and never practiced with them again. You only came by yourself after they left. The practice was very restrained, and you were distracted to come over to water and heal us; it’s because you are born with strong spiritual power, We have absorbed a lot of spiritual energy under your care, otherwise I may have to wait another few decades to cultivate a human form;

We played tricks on all the monks except you, and at the same time, we are grateful for your kindness. I took the lead in transforming into a human form, and waited for a few days to get acquainted with you; Shang Qian, let me get my wish and become a heart-to-heart friend with you;

You are the kindest person I have ever seen. All the grasses and insects in the forest can't bear to be hurt. After going down the mountain, everyone I see wherever I go, and those who can help will do my best. I have been thinking for a long time, you are like this Could the dazzling person be the reincarnation of the gods in the sky to save all living beings?

You are good to me, remember my preferences, always think about me, I am proud that I am a close friend with you, and at the same time I admire you very much, I want to be close to you, I want to protect your rare human character, but I know You and me are different, I dare not tell you my identity from the beginning to the end, I am afraid that after everything is exposed, I will no longer deserve to stand by your side;

That time when you and I came back from hunting demons and were about to take a bath and go to bed, you wiped my back, I was so sleepy, and my head tilted into your arms, you thought I fell asleep, but I didn’t, I was leaning against your chest At that moment, all drowsiness disappeared, and I just felt my heart beating fast. I didn’t know what it was for the first time. I just felt nervous and scared, and I was at a loss for a long time;

Until Jiyuan escaped and we traced to Jizhou, I never thought that men and men could also fall in love and marry each other. If that kind of love is the same as that between men and women, what kind of feeling would it be like? ?This reminds me involuntarily of the palpitations in your arms that day;

Don't worry, just listen to me...

Mr. Feng and the others investigated the case, and I went to the south building with me, because I heard that there would be men in addition to the women. I was so curious, what is the relationship between a man and a man?I asked the young man named Qing Yun how men and men are attracted to each other. He poured me a glass of wine and said, "We are happy when we meet each other, we miss each other, we are happy when we are together, and we are sad when parting. Officials will know after drinking it." I drank the aphrodisiac wine ignorantly, and was frightened by the undressed young man to run away on the spot;

Happy to meet, not to miss, happy to be together, sad to part... Twelve words, I suddenly realized, but I was also hesitant. On the way back, the aphrodisiac took effect, and my thoughts gradually became foggy. What happened later... until the next day When I woke up I realized what I had done;

I dare not say more, dare not ask more, but fortunately you are the same as me, we both tacitly agreed and did not bring up this matter again, I tried my best to suppress my inner impulse, and I could only comfort myself by recalling the appearance of you and me being close to each other that night, but It is becoming more and more difficult for me to control my mind. My brain is clamoring countless times to touch you, to kiss you, to tell you that I like you!

But I can't, I know, people and monsters are separated, not to mention you and I are both men, the incident of Jiyuan has already stimulated you, I dare not touch that piece of reverse scale again, for fear that you will rise up and be angry part with me from now on;

You know, I really endured the pain, especially when I saw you vomit at me, it made me feel extremely disgusted by my feelings countless times, and that kind of feelings are basically tarnishing your holy personality;

I also thought about leaving to sever my thoughts about you, but I can't do it, I can't leave without saying a word, so I wander around in front of the temple every day, hoping to apologize personally, as long as I can be with you , how I can endure it!In the end, I didn't wait for you, but I waited for the news of hosting the transposition ceremony.
