☆, Chapter 30: Poking the ghost prince to seek his true appearance

Xie Lian still didn’t look back and said: “Blood rain to explore flowers?”

Huacheng said: “His Royal Highness.”

Xie Lian turned around and smiled: “This is the first time I heard you call me that.”

The young man in red sat on the mat, raised one leg and said, “How do you feel?”

Xie Lian thought about it and finally didn’t ask him: “Why didn’t you call me brother anymore?” He just said: “It’s okay, it’s okay.”

He said: “That day in Yujunshan, you were the groom who took me away, right?”

The smile on Huacheng’s lips deepened, and Xie Lian realized that there seemed to be an ambiguity in this sentence. He quickly revised it and said seriously: “I mean, you are the one who took me away with Junshan pretending to be a groom, right?”

Huacheng said: “I didn’t pretend to be a groom.”

If you really want to say that, it is true. At that time, the young man did not say that he was the groom. He just stopped in front of the sedan chair and then stretched out his hand. It was Xie Lian who followed him.Xie Lian said: “Okay. Then, why did you show up at that time?”

Huachengdao: “There are two answers to this question: first, I went specifically for you, His Royal Highness; second, I was passing by and had no time. Which one do you think is more credible?”

After counting the number of days he spent by his side, Xie Lian said sincerely: “I dare not say which one is more trustworthy, but you seem to be really free.”

He held his right elbow with his left hand and his chin with his right hand. He looked around Huacheng, nodded and said, “You are different from the one in the legend.”

Huacheng changed his position, still holding his chin in his hands, staring at him, and said: “Oh? Then how did you know that I am mine?”

Xie Lian’s mind was filled with the umbrella under the rain of blood, the jingling silver chain, and the cold silver wristband. He thought to himself that you were not concealing it very seriously, but when it came to his words, he didn’t know why it changed.He said seriously: “You are dressed in red, and you seem to be omniscient, omnipotent, and fearless. You are immune to all temptations, so you must be at the level of ‘Absolute’ and above. In this case, except for the ‘Blood Rain Tanhua’ who makes all the gods and gods change their expressions, I can’t think of any other candidates.”

Huacheng smiled and said: “If you say that, can I think you are praising me?”

Xie Lian said: “Don’t you realize it’s true?”

Huacheng said again: “Having said so much, why didn’t His Highness ask me, what is the purpose of approaching you?”

Xie Lian said: “If you don’t want to say it, if I ask, will you tell me?”

Huacheng said: “Then you can drive me away.”

Xie Lian smiled and said: “You are so powerful, even if I drive you away now, if you really want to do something, won’t you come back with a different skin?”

The two of them were looking at each other and smiling. At this moment, a sound of bones suddenly broke the brief silence in Bodhisattva Temple.

The two looked in the direction of the sound. There was no one there, only a small black clay pot rolling on the ground.

It was the little clay pot that had been raised for half a month. It was originally placed by Xie Lian on the mat, but it fell down on its own at some point and rolled to the door. It was stopped by the wooden door made by Huacheng, and it bumped against the door.Xie Lian was worried that it would smash him into pieces, so he went up and opened the door.The little clay pot rolled all the way to the grass outside the door.

Xie Lian followed it, and the small clay pot rolled onto a piece of grass and stood up.It’s clearly just a jar, but it gives people the illusion that it’s looking up at the stars.Huacheng also walked out of the Bodhisattva Temple, and thanked him for the pottery pot: “Ban Yue, are you awake?”

Fortunately, it was late at night when they returned from the Gobi. Otherwise, if people saw Xie Lian standing outside in the middle of the night asking a jar what’s wrong, they would probably make a fuss.

After a while, a muffled girl’s voice came out of the small jar and said: “General Hua.”

Xie Lian sat down next to it and said: “Ban Yue, are you coming out to look at the stars? Do you want to come out and look at them?”

Huacheng stood aside, leaning against a tree, and said, “She just left Banyue City, so it would be better to stay inside for a while.”

Hearing the advice he gave, Xie Lian felt that it made sense. After all, he had stayed in Banyue Country for two hundred years before half a month ago. It would be difficult to adapt to a sudden change of place. He said: “Then you should stay there for a while and recuperate. This is the place where I practice. You don’t have to worry about anything else. Don’t worry about those generals and soldiers.”

The jar shook twice, not knowing what he wanted to express.After a pause, Xie Lian still felt that he wanted to tell her about the situation. After thinking about it for a moment, he said: “Ban Yue, actually, it’s not that your snake is disobedient. It’s General Pei who secretly learned your method of controlling snakes. Those people were not bitten by your snake.”

Ban Yue muttered: “General Hua, I couldn’t move at that time, but I heard everything.”

Hearing this, Xie Lian was stunned.Only then did she realize that Pei Su had only blocked her mobility for half a month, but not her consciousness, and said, “That’s fine.”

After thinking for a while, he added: “The reason why General Pei did this may be that he couldn’t bear to see the Banyue soldiers suffer and wanted to free them, but he used the wrong method.”

“…” The jar shook and said, “General Hua, what will happen to Brother Pei Su?”

Xie Lian put his hands on his sleeves and said: “I don’t know. However, if you do something wrong, you have to accept some punishment.”

After a while of silence, the jar shook twice more. This time, Xie Lian finally realized that shaking it like this was a nod.

Ban Yue said: “Although Kemo always scolds him, brother Pei Su is actually not that bad.”

Thanks for the pity: “Really?”

Ban Yue said: “Yeah.”

Ban Yue has been withdrawn since she was a child. She was ostracized by children of her own age and only played well with a few Central Plains teenagers. Judging from the fact that Pei Su was sent to attack the national city with only 2,000 soldiers, he must have been a little sad in the army. The two of them seemed to be hard to talk to, either cold or dull, so they probably had some similarities.Xie Lian didn’t know what to say. After a moment, he said: “By the way, Ban Yue, Hua Xie is a pseudonym. I have stopped being a general a long time ago. You don’t need to call me General Hua.”

Ban Yue said: “Then what should I call you?”

This is also a problem.If Ban Yue also calls him “His Royal Highness” in a serious manner, it always feels a little strange.Xie Lian didn’t care about the title at all. He just remembered some words and said, “It’s up to you. You can continue to call General Hua.” However, there is a real person named Hua here, and it may be a bit confusing when he calls it.But then I thought about it again, and then I thought: “Hua Xie” is certainly a pseudonym, taking the first character of “Huaguan Martial God” as his surname, so how can “Huacheng” not be a pseudonym?It’s interesting that they happened to choose the same surname when they took pseudonyms.

At this time, Ban Yue said again: “I’m sorry, General Hua.”

Xie Lian turned around and said a little depressedly: “Ban Yue, why do you always apologize to me?” Isn’t it possible that he looks so sorry at first glance?

Ban Yue shrank in the jar and said, “I want to save the common people.”

Xie Lian: “………………”

Ban Yue said: “General Hua, that’s what you said back then.”

Xie Lian: “???”

He quickly said: “Wait. Wait!”

Hearing him shout, Ban Yue seemed to be stunned in the jar and said, “What?”

Xie Lian glanced at Huacheng, who was standing under the nearby tree with his arms folded, and whispered: “Did I really say such a thing?”

This sentence was obviously something he liked to talk about most when he was a teenager. In the following hundreds of years, he probably never mentioned it at all. Xie Lian couldn’t believe it.Ban Yue said: “General, you said so.”

Xie Lian still wanted to struggle and said: “No…”

Ban Yue said seriously: “I said it. Once, you asked everyone what they wanted to do when they grew up, and everyone said it. In the end, you also said: ‘My previous dream was to save the common people.'”

“…”

That’s it.Xie Lian covered his forehead and said: “Here, Ban Yue, what you said so casually, you remember so clearly.”

Ban Yue said blankly: “Did you mention it casually? But, General Hua, I think you are serious about it.”

Xie Lian had no choice but to look up at the sky and said: “Haha… Really? Maybe. I don’t even remember what else I said.”

Ban Yue said: “You also said, ‘Do what you think is right!'”

After hearing this, Xie Lian thought: “…This is really nonsense…Why do I always like to say this kind of thing…I am not such a person…Am I such a person??”

Ban Yue said: “But, I don’t know what is right anymore.”

Hearing this, Xie Lian was stunned.

Ban Yue’s muffled voice buzzed in the jar: “I seemed to be doing the right thing, but the result was that I opened the door to let the enemy troops slaughter my people. My country was gone. But if we don’t open the door immediately, Ban Yue’s people would flow to the Central Plains and harm more people. General Hua was very good to me. When I was in the Central Plains, there were also people on the streets.People often throw food to me.However, Kemo is also very kind to me, and the soldiers are very obedient to me. I really want to be a good teacher when I come back.However, I not only kill them by opening the city gate, but I also don’t let them eat people.If they don’t eat people, they will be in pain, and I can’t relieve their pain.”

She was incoherent and talked a lot. Finally, she said in a daze: “It seems that no matter what I do, the results are very bad. General Hua, I know I didn’t do it well, but can you tell me where I did it wrong? What step did it go wrong?”

Hearing her question, Xie Lian rubbed the back of his neck in silence for a long time. Finally, he said, “I’m sorry, Ban Yue. I didn’t know the question you asked before, and now… I don’t seem to know either.”

Ban Yue said depressedly: “General Hua, I feel like I have no idea what I’ve been doing for more than two hundred years.”

Hearing what she said, Xie Lian became even more depressed: “Then haven’t I lived in vain for more than eight hundred years?”

After leaving a ghost in the jar for half a month, looking at the stars and calming down, Xie Lian and Hua Cheng returned to the Bodhisattva Temple.After closing the door, Huacheng said: “Pei Su hates the Banyue people so much. How could he do such a thing because he can’t bear the suffering of the Banyue soldiers?”

Xie Lian sighed and said: “It’s all speculation anyway. As for Ban Yue, let’s try to pick out what sounds more high-sounding.”

After thinking about it, he shook his head and said: “If you really want Ban Yue to be liberated from Ban Yue Kingdom as soon as possible, Pei Su could obviously choose to clear Ban Yue Pass, but he has to choose the method of luring living people into the Pass to feed ghosts. He is really too courageous.”

Huacheng said: “He can’t. To lead people to clean up, we have to leave from heaven.”

Thanks for the pity: “What if we leave from heaven?”

Huacheng said leisurely: “It’s very bad. Every batch of priests who left the heaven remember clearly where they went and what they were going to do. When heaven sends people down, they will definitely clean up the entire Banyue Pass, and your little Banyue girl is no exception. Of course, he chose to cover it himself. All he wants to do is to lure some living people to feed the ghosts when he is free.”

Having said this, he smiled and said: “Ascended priests? In their eyes, the lives of mortals are naturally inferior to those of ants.”

Regarding his words, Xie Lian refused to comment and only said: “Then he can actually quietly become a member and go down to earth to clean up those Half-Moon Soldiers.”

Huacheng said: “The power of members will be weakened. You have also seen Pei Suhua’s member Azhao. He can’t solve so many Banyue soldiers. He can only die. At best, it can alleviate a wave of resentment.”

Xie Lian glanced at him and remembered that after Saburo jumped into the pit of sinners, he killed all the Half-Moon soldiers at the bottom of the pit in an instant. He turned around and said: “Your member is really powerful.”

Huacheng raised an eyebrow at him and said: “Of course. But, this is me.”

Hearing this, Xie Lian no longer thought about anything else. He turned his head and felt a little surprised, saying: “Huh? Are you me?”

Huacheng said: “If it’s fake, it will be replaced.”

The only thing to blame is that after he said this, he looked like he was asking for a personal test. So, before Xie Lian even realized what he had done, he had already raised a finger and poked Hua Cheng on the cheek.

After poking it, Xie Lian suddenly woke up, screaming in his heart that it was terrible.He was just curious in his heart about how the ghost skin of the Extremis Ghost King felt. Unexpectedly, his body was faster than his mind, so he raised his hand and poked it. This was really outrageous.

Suddenly being poked in the face, Huacheng seemed to be slightly surprised, but he was always calm and his expression quickly calmed down. He didn’t say anything, but raised one eyebrow higher, as if waiting for his explanation, but the smile in his eyes was clearly visible.Of course Xie Lian couldn’t come up with any explanation. He looked at the finger, hid it without leaving a trace, and said casually: “Not bad, not bad.”

Huacheng finally laughed out loud, crossed his arms, tilted his head, and asked him: “Do you think my skin is good?”

Xie Lian said sincerely: “It’s very good. But…”

Huacheng said: “But what?”

Xie Lian stared at his face and looked at it carefully for a while.Finally, he said: “But, can I see your true appearance?”

Since he just said “this skin”, it means that although this body is the true form, the appearance is not the true form.This young man’s appearance is not his true appearance.

This time, Huacheng did not answer immediately.He put down his arm. I don’t know if it was Xie Lian’s misunderstanding, but I always felt that his eyes were a little darker, and his heart couldn’t help but lift slightly.

The author has something to say: I was stuck for a long time today and couldn’t think of a chapter name, so forget it and that’s it!

Yesterday, my liver exploded. Amitabha, the heavenly official, blessed me and allowed me to use energy slowly and grow thicker again.

As for whether the deity and appearance are the same, just understand it this way:

Sun Wukong pulled out a monkey hair and blew out hundreds of monkeys. These are all members.

Sun Wukong will undergo seventy-two transformations and become a handsome little brother. This is his true form, but his appearance has changed!
