Chapter 161 Envy, Jealousy and Hatred
This was the first time Zuo Si had roared like this in his heart, and the sour bubbles rising from the bottom of his heart almost completely dissolved his sanity.
What a master trickster, his eyes are red. At first glance, he looks like a wronged child. If you look closely, you can see the anger in his eyes.
First I had spiritual enlightenment easily, and now I have become a master of tricks with just one thought, and I am now free once and for all. As long as you don't betray the master, you won't suffer backlash. This condition is equivalent to never suffering backlash.
How virtuous and capable are these ordinary mediocre people! ?
"They believe in the Night God."
Runwu's soft and silent voice is like a wisp of spring breeze and drizzle that washes away Zuo Si's irritable mind.
He woke up with a start, and after returning to his senses, he realized that he had actually spoken out what was in his heart.
It’s just that this time it wasn’t the little goddess who used trickery to seduce him, but his mind lost control and he lost his composure.
I also believe in God! Normally, Zuo Si would have just blurted out this sentence and then asked Mi August for a favor. This time his throat was dry and he closed his mouth under the girl's indifferent gaze.
Whether she really believes in the Lord of God, obviously the little goddess has her own way of identifying it, how could the Lord of God behind it not know.
In the past, he always talked about his belief in the Lord of God, but he could not reach the point of true physical and mental belief. Thinking about it now makes him break out in a cold sweat. If he was being scrutinized, he would be blatantly deceiving his master.
"God's grace is mighty." In the end, Zuo Si could only squeeze out these four words from his mouth.
The envy, jealousy, and hatred that comes from my heart cannot be suppressed no matter what.
Just think of how difficult it was for him to get to where he is today, and then compare it to how easy it was for Yu Hu.
ah--!
The roots of my teeth are almost broken.
“Is there anything else?” Mi August couldn’t seem to see his twisted face.
Zuo Si took a deep breath and smiled: "Well, there is one more thing I want to talk to His Highness."
Then after Zuo Si's brief description, Mi August knew what he was doing. What exactly did you do when you went to the Governor's Mansion in Yi Guolingji?
He first used Zhang Xiaozhu as an excuse to go to Lingji Governor's Mansion, and then half-coercion and half inducement asked Lingji Governor-General's Mansion to publicize Beiyuan City's deeds in the capital of Yi State. Later, he went to the King of Yi State and reached an agreement with the other party. .
I don’t know what he said specifically. Zuo Si didn’t elaborate on this aspect this time. He only told Mi August about the results of the agreement: The king of Yi State promised that the name of the Night Walker God could be promoted at will within the territory. , and came to watch the ceremony in person when the first temple in Beihara Castle was built.
Although for spiritual cultivation in Lingzhou, the king of a country in the mortal continent is not considered at all. But this is a mortal continent, and the people here have a deep-rooted respect for the imperial power. The emperor's personal observation and worship was the greatest leadership role for the people.
Hearing this, Mi August was very satisfied with Zuo Si's actions.
No matter what his character and temperament is, Zuo Si is a person who can get things done.
If it were replaced with other spiritual practices, most of them wouldn't be able to do what Zuo Si did. Spirituality faces the deep-rooted sense of superiority of ordinary people, so they may not be willing to put down their pride and cater to the humanistic atmosphere of the ordinary continent.
"The team of the leader of the Yi Kingdom will arrive when the temple is completed. Today there are two people sitting with me at night to listen to Xue's return."
Zuo Si, who had said it all It seems that his mood has calmed down a lot, or his thoughts have been concentrated deeper.
He smiled and said softly and sadly to Mi August: "Your Highness has never met these two people, but I will definitely not dislike them."
Beiyuan City Street.
The sunset is picturesque.
People come and go.
Jiang Tong, who had gray hair on his temples but was still energetic, was walking on the road.
The governor of the Lingji Governor's Mansion, who has always had a stern face, has lost his composure many times today.
The tall woman following him on his left is his youngest daughter Jiang Meng.
Unlike Jiang Tong, who seems difficult to get along with at first glance, Jiang Meng's temperament is very simple. Regardless of whether he is a man, a woman or an old man, he may not like him much but will never dislike him. He is so simple that he has no sense of distance from anyone. It can be seen that she is not young anymore. She has long passed the age when a normal woman in the mortal mainland should get married. However, she only has her hair tied up and is not a woman who is married to a wife. This shows that she is still single.
She followed Jiang Tong and stopped while walking, looking around in Beiyuan City, a street that was not prosperous compared to the national capital.
"Stranger, stranger."
Hearing the continuous shouting, Jiang Meng turned his head and realized that it was her and her father who were shouting.
The person shouting was an old man, but his skin was rosy and he looked in good spirits.
There is a bookstall in front of him.
“Outlander, would you like to buy a night tour newspaper? It’s very cheap. It contains Mr. Chen’s masterpieces, as well as the strange people and strange things in the night tour class. It’s very interesting.”
Jiang Meng's interest was indeed aroused. Next to her, Jiang Tong had already walked towards the stall, and she followed closely.
Jiang Tong picked up the night travel newspaper stacked on the stall and stared at the old stall owner.
The old stall owner is still selling enthusiastically.
Suddenly a woman's scolding came from the side, "Old Liu, don't ruin the atmosphere of Beiyuan City and let outsiders see the joke."
Jiang Meng looked around and saw the empty stall next door. , a woman came over.
She raised her eyebrows and glared, first glanced at the old man at the bookstall, and then turned to meet Jiang Meng's gaze.
Jiang Meng smiled.
A simple smile is the easiest way to draw people closer. The woman was slightly surprised when she saw that she was about the same age as her but clearly not married. Then she returned to normal and said to Jiang Meng, "You two, please don't believe this little old man's lie. The night tour report is with us." Beiyuan City doesn’t charge money. You can go to the newspaper office to get it for free, or you can go to the teahouse to listen. He just has nothing to do.”
Mr. Liu blew his beard and stared, but did not refute the woman's words.
Jiang Meng put down the broken silver at Old Man Liu's stall, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I'd like to trouble the old man to come for us."
"Hahahaha, okay. Young man, good young man." Old man Liu was happy.
The woman couldn't see his smug look, pointed at the old man and cursed: "I don't even look at the charm of the two of you. I have carefully deceived the adults of Siye Mansion. Let's see if you can still laugh. ”
Old Man Liu stopped laughing and looked at the two of them in surprise.
Jiang Mengxiao said: "We are from the Governor's Mansion."
Ordinary people still have awe for the name 'Governor's Mansion', even if they don't know exactly which governor this Governor's Mansion is. .
"It turns out there are really two adults." The woman said quickly.
Old man Liu asked curiously: "Why did the two adults come to Beiyuan Castle?"
Jiang Meng replied to Old Man Liu, "I was invited by Mr. Zuo to come and have a look."
"Oh~" Both the woman and Old Man Liu calmed down.
Jiang Meng took in the changes in the expressions of the two men and said, "It seems that everyone is very convinced of Mr. Zuo."
The simple appearance is enough to conceal the true meaning of all Jiang Meng's temptations.
The woman laughed and said: "Master Zuo is such a good person, but sometimes he looks a little fierce."
Old Man Liu continued, "Tell me about that big dog-headed dog. It's a bit more fierce, but it can obviously stop the baby from crying at night!"
The woman despised him, "My baby didn't cry when he was scared. You do. Bao'er, do you think so?" She lowered her head and patted the head next to her.
Jiang Meng looked around and saw a child hiding in the stall. Before, his short stature was blocked by the cabinet. Now he held the edge of the cabinet with both hands and poked out half a small child. His head revealed a pair of eyes staring here, and he didn't know how long he had been peeking.
Jiang Tong whispered, "Spirit child."
Another child who has opened his spirit.
The child called Bao'er nodded, then turned his head and looked eagerly in a certain direction.
The woman patted his head again, "Look again."
Jiang Meng didn't understand what they were looking at, but he soon figured it out.
A group of children appeared at the end of the field of vision and approached here.
"...these children!" Jiang Tong's voice rose and then stopped suddenly.
Jiang Meng knew why he was like this.
The aura in these children is so pure.
Her eyes quickly focused on a figure on horseback.
The child in black, riding a pony, glanced at her and then turned away.
It didn’t take long to pass by her.
Those on horseback, in carriages, or running behind were all led by the child.
The dress may not be as noble as the royal relatives of the Yi Kingdom, but the momentum is even better.
"Hey, Bao'er, don't run away! They say you are too young, I will send you there in two years!"
This voice brought Jiang Meng's mind back, and he turned around. I have seen a woman holding a child by the collar who was trying to sneak away, and I have seen that skillful look more than once.
An ordinary-looking woman was holding a not-thin child in one hand, but it was as light as nothing. She herself seemed not to realize that this strength was a bit unusual.
Old man Liu next door suddenly closed the stall, his hands and feet were very nimble, and then he used his skinny-looking body to carry a package full of books.
"Hey, I'll go to the night tour class after dinner." He said in a drawled voice as if on purpose.
The child being carried by the woman immediately had two tears in his eyes.
"Old Man Liu!" the woman roared angrily, angry that he deliberately messed with her child.
Old man Liu ran away with the package on his back.
Hearing is false and seeing is true.
Jiang Meng fell into silence.
She turned to look at her father beside her.
The stern old man’s hand holding the night newspaper was trembling.
