Fighter of the Destiny

Chen Changsheng is about to return to Kyoto. After hearing the news, Zhuang Changyu was silent for a long time, just like when he heard that Chen Changsheng was still alive a few days ago.

Zhou Yuan and his party left Hanqiu City and returned to Kyoto. Zhexiu was taken away from the palace by the imperial court. Everyone thought that Chen Changsheng died with the collapse of Zhouyuan, and that Qijian was still unconscious after returning to Lishan. Moreover, affairs between men and women were the biggest source of right and wrong in the world. He believed that no one would believe Zhexiu anymore. and Qijian's defense, so he was very happy and felt that his life was finally back on the right track. However, he occasionally thought of Liang Xiaoxiao, the young genius who committed suicide in front of him with the last move of the Lishan Sword, so his His body would begin to feel cold, and no matter how many quilts he put on it, it would not become warmer. It was as if there was a devil's shadow standing quietly in the air around him.

However, what made him feel even colder was that Chen Changsheng was not dead.

He appeared in the wilderness in the north of Tianliang County, and it was said that he was with the legendary Uncle Lishan. Next, I heard that General Xue He had gone, but Chen Changsheng was still not dead. They went to Xunyang City. Next, Liang Wangsun and Huajia Xiao Zhang appeared, Zhu Luo and Stargazer, the two Bafang Feng Yu appeared, and Chen Changsheng was not dead yet... Why didn't you die?

Zhuang Changyu stood in the courtyard, looking at the dark night sky above that looked like an abyss. His face was pale and he said to himself, Why don't you die?

He looked at the night sky in silence for a long time and murmured: No one will believe it.

A few months ago, following the night when Wang Zhice attained enlightenment, the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty was once again bathed in silvery starlight. That was because Chen Changsheng was observing the monuments in the Tomb of Heavenly Books and practicing. After that night, the entire continent knew about his contribution to the human world, and also knew Li Gong's true attitude towards him.

——Chen Changsheng became the youngest dean of the National Religion College in history. The Pope chose him as his successor. He is the successor of the National Religion.

No one believes that the successor of the state religion will collude with the demons, because the demons cannot give him greater benefits. If he died in Zhouyuan in the first place, or for the benefit of some living people, some people can try to believe it. After a while, but Su Li returned to Lishan alive, and Chen Chang returned to Kyoto alive, then all this will come to an end. Liang Xiaoxiao's conspiracy of using his own death camp is about to be broken. Of course, there are also people who hold different views on this, such as the terrible Lord Zhou Tong.

Because Zhou Tong knew that Chen Changsheng was a student of Taoist Ji, he believed that Taoist Ji would not hesitate to ruin the entire human world for revenge, not to mention colluding with the demons. But Zhuang Changyu didn't know these things, so as more and more news of Chen Changsheng's return to the south spread back to Kyoto, he became more and more silent, and never left his small courtyard, the lush woods of Tiandaoyuan. He could no longer see his handsome figure, and he began to understand why Liang Xiaoxiao died so decisively after seeing Zhe Xiu carrying Qi Jian into Panshan Linyu in Zhou Garden.

What else can I do but die?

He lowered his head and looked at the quiet well in the courtyard, looking at the deep well water reflecting the dim starlight, and suddenly shuddered.

He had been dependent on his mother in the countryside since he was a child, living in poverty and studying hard. He came to Kyoto to enter the Tiandao Academy. Because his father was the vice-president of the Tiandao Academy and his talent for cultivation was extremely high, he was loved by many teachers. , loved by his classmates, but he never relaxed his demands on himself. Even in the cold winter, he insisted on bathing with cold well water.

It was late spring now, Kyoto was very hot, and it even felt like summer, but he felt that the well water was a little cold.

That cold feeling makes people scared and desperate.

Looking at the deep wellhead, Zhuang Changyu's face became paler and paler. After a long time, he finally turned and left the well.

This was the first time in many days that he left the small courtyard where he lived. The students from the Tiandao Academy he met along the way looked at him with surprised expressions on their faces, and they all moved to the side of the road to salute and say hello. Zhuang Changyu seemed not to see anything, and did not speak to these classmates. He walked directly to a building deep in Tiandaoyuan.

This is the residence of the dean of Tiandaoyuan. Mao Qiuyu lived here at the beginning. Later, Mao Qiuyu went to Li Palace to take over as the archbishop of Zhechong Hall, and this became the place for the new dean.

The new dean of Tiandaoyuan is named Zhuang, and he is his biological father.

Standing outside the quiet apartment garden, looking at the lights in the building and the figure of the man through the sparse plum branches, Zhuang Changyu was silent for a long time again, but his face was no longer as pale as before.

His father abandoned their mother and son back then and went to Beijing to take the exam. He had an ambiguous relationship with the woman from the Tang family in Wenshui and was very ungrateful and ungrateful. This is the story Zhuang Changyu insists on believing. This is the story he has always had about his father. views since. Therefore, he has always harbored great hatred and malice towards his father. Therefore, when facing his father, he will always have the greatest courage.

He didn't know why he came here tonight, but he found that because of his anger towards the man behind the window, the despair and coldness in his heart actually improved a lot.

Then, he left Tiandaoyuan and walked to the stone pillar of the palace. He stopped and stopped moving forward.

He is a talented person from the Tiandao Academy, and he is also the next generation trained by the state religion. He has enough qualifications to enter the palace, but he does not, because he does not come to the palace to see the scenery, but to see the last few night cherry blossoms. He comes to the palace to He wanted to see someone, but even if he walked into the palace, there was no way to see that person. Just like although he was the genius Zhuang Changyu, he was not qualified to get close to that person. Just like in Tiandaoyuan before, he could only occasionally see the fairy-like junior sister in Dean Mao Qiuyu's apartment, and then watch her go away like a fairy.

Standing in front of the palace, quietly looking at the Qingxian Palace in the night, and imagining the life of the junior sister in the world of Lord Pope Qingye, Zhuang Changyu began to reminisce.

He wanted to sort out the past few years and figure out how these things happened.

A few years ago, he met her in Tiandaoyuan, and then met again at the Ivy Banquet. When he thought they could get acquainted, he saw her holding the sleeve of a young man named Chen Changsheng.

Yes, that's how everything started.

At the lakeside of Zhou Garden, when Liang Xiaoxiao suddenly made a sneak attack and the powerful demon clan was about to kill Chen Changsheng, Zhexiu and Qijian, he did not draw his sword or meet each other in the forest.

Yes, because he was scared, he was a teenager, and he wanted to live.

But now that he thought about it, couldn't it be because he always had deep jealousy and hatred for Chen Changsheng in his heart?

He really wanted Chen Changsheng to die.

Why don't you die?

It suddenly rained in Kyoto, and the palace was no exception.

The air of late spring was immediately washed away by the rain, and there was a faint chill on the wet bluestone.

Zhuang Qianyu did not hold an umbrella, so he stood in the rain and was silent for a long time.

A priest from the palace came to inquire and found that it was him. Thinking of the news that Chen Changsheng would return to Kyoto tomorrow, he thought he had guessed something and stopped disturbing him.

Holding umbrellas in the rain, the priests and students from the Sixth Ivy Courtyard came and went, looking at him who was soaked all over, their eyes were very complicated, with some pity, some sympathy, and of course, also ridicule.

Zhuang Changyu returned to the small courtyard of Tiandaoyuan.

All his clothes were soaked by the rain, and he didn't care about the heat or cold. But for some reason, he didn't jump into the deep and cold well in the end.

At the last moment of his life, he kept some pride and used a sword.

He chose to die by his own sword.

…

…

News of Zhuang Changyu's death soon spread throughout Kyoto.

The gray courtyard not far from the imperial city was the first place to receive the news, because this was the Qing Officials Division.

When Zhou Tong heard the news, he was holding a lantern and standing in front of an artemisia plant in the vegetable field, trying to find the mugwort that bit the orchid he raised half to death last night.

Zhuang Changyu's death was naturally related to Chen Changsheng's return to Beijing. People who stand on Chen Changsheng's side will definitely feel proud, while those who have tried to attack Chen Changsheng and even the state religion through this matter will inevitably be a little disappointed.

Zhou Tong was probably the only person in the world who truly believed that Chen Changsheng might be colluding with the demons, but instead of feeling any frustration, he actually laughed and said, It's a good death.

He was really happy. Although he didn't laugh till he was laughing, the lantern in his hand was shaking, so that the shadow of the mugwort pole turned into many afterimages in the vegetable field, like a fence.

After the incident in Xunyang City ended and it was confirmed that Su Li was alive and Chen Changsheng was also alive, the rumors in Kyoto suddenly changed.

The Imperial Palace and the military put great pressure on the Qing officials, asking him to let go of Zhexiu.

Releasing the folded sleeves, this is a gift, a great gift to welcome Chen Changsheng's return.

Of course Zhou Tong would not let him go. If Chen Changsheng's identity was not too sensitive, he would definitely put Chen Changsheng in the prison in the front yard.

Therefore, he believed that it was better for Zhuang Changyu to die without evidence, and to die without evidence.

Of course, he knew very well that with Chen Changsheng's current status, Zhuang Changyu's death was of little significance.

But someone will definitely take advantage of this.

…

…

With the new rain and light dust, the spring mood in Kyoto has not faded, but is deeper, extremely bright, and even a little sticky.

A convoy returned to Kyoto.

Chen Changsheng was sitting in the car and felt the fluctuations coming from the scabbard. He felt comforted knowing that the black dragon was about to wake up.

Then, he heard a voice coming from outside the car.

traitor!

Many people knew that the person in the car was Chen Changsheng. People in Kyoto who were accustomed to seeing the bustle couldn't help but watch the excitement on both sides of the street. They were talking and making noise and it was extremely lively.

After these two words were heard, the streets of Kyoto instantly became extremely quiet.
