30|Poke Prince Ghost for real face

Xie Ren asked, “Blood Rain Tanager?”

Hua Cheng said, “Your Highness the Crown Prince.”

Xie Ren turned around and said with a smile, “This is the first time I’ve heard you call me this.”

The red-clothed boy sat on the mat, spreading one leg and smiling, “How does it feel?”

Xie Ren thought about it and said frankly, “It seems that …… it doesn t feel the same as when other people call me that.”

Flower City said, “Well, what’s different?”

Xie Ren tilted his head, slightly narrowed his eyes and said, “It’s hard for me to say, it’s ……”

When people call him “Your Highness”, they either call him “Your Highness” in an unemotional way, or in an official way, such as Ling Wen. But more people call him Your Highness, but with a kind of squeeze meaning, just like calling an ugly beauty, it is done deliberately, slightly ironic.

But when Hua Cheng called him “Your Highness”, these two words were extremely precious. Therefore, although he couldn’t describe it, Xie Ren just felt that when Hua Cheng called him “Your Highness”, it was different from when others called him “Your Highness”.

Xie Ren said, “On Mount Wujun, the groom who took me away, it was you, wasn’t it?”

The smile at the corner of Hua Cheng’s lips deepened. Only then did Xie Ren realize that this sentence seemed ambiguous, and hastily revised it, “I mean, the one who disguised himself as a groom and took me away from Junshan was you, wasn’t it?”

Instead, Hanagi said, “I didn’t disguise the groom.”

If you really want to say that, that is true. At that time, that teenager didn’t lie to him and say that he was the groom, he didn’t say a word at all, he just stopped in front of the sedan chair door and then extended his hand. It was Xie Ren himself who went with him!

Xie Ren said, “Alright. Then, why did you show up at that time with Jun Mountain?”

Hua Cheng said, “There are only two answers to this question: firstly, I am specifically rushing towards you, Your Highness the Crown Prince; secondly, passing by and being idle. Which one do you think is more believable?”

Counting the number of days he spent by his side, Xie Ren said, “Which one is more credible dare not say …… But you seem to be really idle.”

His entire person and gaze circled around Flower City, back and forth, for a long time, nodded and said, “You …… are not quite the same as the legends.”

Hua Cheng changed his posture, but still had his hand on his cheek, gazing at him, saying, “Oh? Then how did Your Highness the Crown Prince know that I am the Blood Rain Scout?”

Xie Ren was filled with that umbrella under the bloody rain, that jingling silver chain, and that cold silver wristguard, and thought to himself, “It’s not like you’re being very serious about hiding it. He said, “No matter how you try, you are dripping with water and must be in the ‘absolute’ realm. You are dressed in red like maple like blood, as if you are omniscient, omnipotent, fearless, such a temperament, in addition to the one that makes all the heavenly immortals and gods talk about the ‘blood rain scout’, it seems like I can’t think of any other candidate.”

Flower City laughed, “In that case, can I take it as a compliment?”

Xie Ren thought to himself, “Don’t you hear that it was meant to be?”

Hua Cheng’s smile slightly curtailed, and added, “After saying so much, why doesn’t Your Highness the Crown Prince ask me what purpose I have in approaching you?”

Xie Ren said, “If you don’t want to say, you won’t tell me even if I ask, right, or what I’m told isn’t the truth.”

Flower City, however, said, “That’s not necessarily true. Besides, then you can kick me out ah.”

Xie Ren said, “You’re so magical, even if I drive you away now, if you really want to do something bad, won’t you change your skin and come back?”

The two were looking at each other and laughing, suddenly, a sound of bone rolling suddenly broke the short silence in the Bodhisattva Guan. The two looked toward the direction of the sound, there is no one, only a small black clay pot rolling on the ground.

That was exactly the small clay pot that had been kept for half a month, it had originally been casually placed by Xie Ren on the edge of the mat, but at some point it collapsed on its own, rolled to the door, and was stopped by the wooden door made by Flower City, so it crashed against the door one by one. Xie Ren was worried that it would just break itself, so he went up and opened the door. That little clay pot then rolled all the way to the grass outside the door in a bone-jarring manner.

As Xie Ren followed it, the small clay pot rolled onto a patch of grass and stood up. It was clearly just a jar, but it gave the illusion that it was looking up at the stars.

Hua Cheng also walked out from within the Bodhisattva Guan, and Xie Ren said to the clay pot, “Half Moon, are you awake?”

Luckily, when they came back from the Gobi, it was already late at night, otherwise people would have seen Xie Ren standing outside in the middle of the night and asking a jar what happened to you, and they would probably have made a fuss again.

In the middle of the day, a muffled voice came from the small jar, “General Hua.”

Xie Ren sat down next to it and said, “Half Moon, you came out to see the stars? Want to come out and watch.”

Hua Cheng stood aside, leaning against a tree, and said, “She just left Half Moon City, so it’s better for her to stay inside for a while longer.”

After all, Halfmoon had stayed in Halfmoon Kingdom for two hundred years before, so I’m afraid that it would be difficult to adapt to a sudden change of place, Xie Ren said, “Then you might as well stay inside for a while longer, and recuperate a bit more. This is where I cultivate, you don’t need to worry about anything else.”

The jar shook twice, not knowing what it was trying to convey. After deliberating for a moment, Xie Ren said, “Halfmoon, actually this time it’s not even about you. Your scorpion tail snake is ……”

Half Moon said, “General Hua, I was unable to move at that time, but I heard it all.”

At these words, Xie Ren froze. Only then did she realize that at that time, Pei Zhu had only sealed Halfmoon’s mobility, not her sentience, and said, “Good.”

It’s good to hear it all.

The jar said, “General Hua, what will happen to General Little Pei?”

Xie Ren caged his sleeves with both hands and said, “I don’t know. But …… when you do something wrong, you have to be punished.”

Silence for a while, the jar shook twice more, this time, Xie Ren finally saw, the original shaking like this, is nodding.

Half Moon said, “Actually, General Xiao Pei is not that bad.”

“Yeah.”

“Uh-huh.” Halfmoon said, “He helped me.”

Somehow, Xie Ren’s mind suddenly remembered more.

Half Moon is often beaten up, and in the words of other Yongan children, she “has a face that needs to be beaten up”.

Xie Ren also didn’t know until after knowing her for a long time. It was because no matter how many beatings Halfmoon took, she would never talk to anyone about it. It wasn’t until one day when Xie Ren saw a group of children pressing her face into the mud that she realized where all those bruises on her face came from.

But after a while, when she was asked again, she actually only remembered to wash and return the handkerchief that the teenager who had pulled her out of the mud pit had borrowed to wipe her face, but nothing else.

She doesn’t remember any of the people who beat her up, but she remembers for the rest of her life if she saves her life once.

Halfmoon added, “Even though Carved Mill Old scolded me for being obsessed by him, I was simply being used. But whether he used me or not, I know that opening the gates was something I had to do myself.”

Xie Ren didn’t know what to say, but a certain part of his heart suddenly softened.

In a flash, he patted the jar and said, “Alright, it’s over. By the way, Halfmoon, Flower Xie is a fake name, and I stopped being a general a long time ago, so you can stop calling me General Flower.”

Halfmoon said, “What should I call you then?”

This was also a problem. If Halfmoon also called him His Royal Highness in a serious manner, it always felt a bit strange. Xie Ren didn’t care about the title, but remembering the other words, he said, “Then do whatever you want, it’s fine to continue to call General Hua.” Only, there was a real one here with the surname Hua, and it might be a bit of a mistake to call him that. But on second thought, he thought again: “Flower Xie” is certainly a fake name, taking the first word of “Flower Crown Martial God” as his surname, “Flower City” is not a fake name? It is also interesting that they chose the same surname for their fake names.

At that moment, I heard Halfmoon say again, “I’m sorry, General Hua.”

Xie Ren turned back and said a bit depressed, “Half Moon, why are you always apologizing to me?” It’s not so bad that he looks so apologetic at a glance, right?

Halfmoon said, “I, for one, will save the living.”

Xie Ren: “………………”

Halfmoon said, “General Hua, that’s what you said at first.”

Xie Ren: “????”

He hastily pressed the jar and said, “Wait. Wait!”

Halfmoon said, “Wait for what.”

Xie Ren glanced at Hua Cheng, who was standing under that nearby tree with his arms wrapped around him, and said in a low voice, “Did I really say such things in the first place?”

This sentence, obviously was his favorite hanging on his lips when he was in his teens, in these later centuries should not have mentioned it at all, right, at first hearing it, Xie Ren still felt the shock was too great a bit unable to accept. Half Moon, however, said, “General, you said it.”

Xie Ren still wanted to struggle, said, “No right ……”

Halfmoon said seriously and coldly, “Oh no, said that. Once, you asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, and I said I didn’t know, and you said how could you not know what you wanted to be when you grew up. I asked General Hua what about you? You then said, ‘My dream as a child was to save the living!'”

“……”

It turned out to be so. Xie Ren said, “This! Half Moon, why are you memorizing such casual remarks so clearly!”

Halfmoon said, “Was it a casual mention? But, General Hua, I think you are saying it seriously.”

Xie Ren was helpless, tilted his head and looked at the sky, and said, “Haha …… is it. Maybe. What else did I say, I don’t even remember.”

Halfmoon said, “You also said, ‘Do what you think is right!’ ‘Nothing can stop you!’ ‘Even if you fall down a hundred times in the rotten ground, you have to be strong and get up!’ . Lots of it, similar.”

“Pfft ……”

I didn’t need to turn around to know that it was definitely Hanagi, who was under the tree, who heard it and laughed out loud.

Xie Ren couldn’t cover the jar anymore, thinking, “…… What is all this nonsense …… How come I always love to say such words? …… I am not such a person ah …… am I such a person?”

Halfmoon said, “But I don’t know what the right thing to do is anymore.”

At those words, Xie Ren froze.

Halfmoon said, “I wanted to save the living like General Hua said. But in the end, I destroyed the Half Moon Kingdom.”

She said confusedly, “And it seems that no matter what I do …… the result is bad. General Hua, I know that I am not doing well, but can you tell me where exactly I am not doing well? What exactly should I do to really …… save the living as you said?”

“……”

Xie Ren said, “I am sorry ah Half Moon, to how to save the pale life …… This question I did not know before, and still do not know now.”

After a moment of silence, Halfmoon said, “General Hua, to be honest, I feel like I simply don’t know what I’ve been doing these past two hundred years, such a failure.”

Hearing her say that, Xie Ren became even more depressed, thinking Wouldn’t I be an even bigger failure then? I also mixed eight hundred years it ……

Stayed half a month a ghost to stay in the jar to look at the stars alone to calm down a bit, Xie Ren and flower city back to the Bodhisattva view.

After closing the door, Xie Ren suddenly said, “Halfmoon stayed at Halfmoon Pass voluntarily, and wasn’t trapped there because she became a murderer.”

She always remembered that it was she who had opened the gates, and never gave herself the excuse of “I did it for the sake of the righteousness of the people”. In order for the soldiers of the Half Moon Kingdom to vent their grievances and ascend to heaven at an early date, she had allowed Carved Mill to lead them to kill themselves one at a time.

Xie Ren shook his head and said, “In fact, if General Xiao Pei really didn’t want to keep those Half Moon soldiers and didn’t want to be discovered by the Upper Heavenly Court, he could have quietly gotten himself a sub|body to descend to earth to clean up those Half Moon soldiers. Why does it have to be this way.”

Hua Cheng said, “The power of the doppelganger is weakened. You have also seen that the split | body Azhao that Pei Zhuhua transformed, can’t solve so many Half Moon soldiers at one time, it’s better to feed them with a living person, the grievances will dissipate faster and easiest.”

Xie Ren said, “Why does it have to be so fast?”

Flower City said, “Maybe it’s to get your little half-moon friend hanged a few times in less pain.”

After a moment of silence, Xie Ren said, “What about those mortals.”

Hua Cheng said in a faint voice, “Magi, the lives of mortals are naturally no better than ants. Pei Su is a typical superior Magus, as long as he is not discovered, killing a few hundred people is no different to him than crushing a few hundred bugs.”

Xie Ren glanced at him, remembering that at that time, Sanlang killed all the Half Moon soldiers at the bottom of the pit in a single instant after leaping down into the pit of sinners, he turned around and said, “The power of the |divided| body is all weakened? Let’s see, your Divided|Body is quite powerful.”

Instead, Flower City raised an eyebrow at him and said, “Of course. However, this is my true self.”

Xie Ren turned his head, slightly surprised, “Huh? Are you the Honored One?”

Flower City said, “As fake as it gets.”

It was the expression that seemed to be saying that he was inviting the king to personally test it that was to be blamed after he said that, and so, before Xie Ren could even realize what he had done, he had already raised a finger and poked Hua Cheng in the cheek.

After the poke, Xie Ren then snapped out of it and screamed in his heart that it was bad.

He was only curious in his mind about what the ghost skin of the Jedi Ghost King actually felt like, but he didn’t expect his body to be faster than his mind, and raised his hand to poke it, which was uncharacteristic.

Suddenly being poked in the face, Hua Cheng seemed to be slightly taken aback as well, but he was always calm, his complexion quickly calmed down, and he didn’t say anything, just one side of his eyebrow was raised even higher, as if he was waiting for an explanation, but the mirth in his gaze was unmistakable. Xie Ren, of course, can not take any explanation, looked at the finger, without revealing the hidden, said, “…… good.”

Hua Cheng finally laughed out loud, hugging his arms and tilting his head to ask him, “What’s nice? Are you thinking this skin of mine is nice?”

Xie Ren said heartily, “Yes, very good. But ……”

Flower City said, “But what?”

Xie Ren stared at his face, looking at it carefully for a while. In the end, it was, “But, can I see what you originally looked like?”

Since he had said “this skin”, it meant that although this body was his true self, his skin was not his true self. This young man’s appearance is not his real face.

This time, Hua Cheng did not answer immediately. He lowered his arm, and I don’t know if it was Xie Ren’s illusion, but he always felt that his gaze had darkened a bit, and a heart couldn’t help but lift slightly.
