The Path Toward Heaven

Chapter 831 Different

Zhong Lizi squatted in the underground passage, staring at the rainwater collection hole with a faint sword intent, like a bored girl squatting under a tree watching ants.

The bishop of the priest's manor and people from the government were left outside. Someone asked her a few words, but did not get any response.

She didn't know where Jing Jiu had gone, and she didn't know how long she had to wait here.

She only knew that he had some emotional problems, and he didn't get any better after meeting that person, so she was very worried.

"What are you looking at?"

To her surprise, Jing Jiu's voice sounded behind her not long after.

Zhong Lizi was startled, turned around and glanced at him, then looked at the rain hole next to the track, opened his mouth, and asked, "Why so fast?"

"As long as you have it, you don't need to worry about the time." Jing Jiu has always been more patient with her.

Time is relative, he just needs an absolutely quiet and isolated environment to think about things and relax his mind by the way.

Minutes versus decades makes no difference.

Zhong Lizi took out the prepared clothes and dressed him carefully.

The two of them returned to the lawn from the ground. The bishops and government officials had already dispersed, as if they had never waited nervously here. Huge stars hung on the horizon, and the light that should have been extremely blazing was a little bluish after being filtered by the protective cover. When it illuminated the buildings and grass in the manor, it looked more like starlight hundreds of times brighter.

"How's your study these days?" Jing Jiu asked.

This question seemed ordinary and casual, like a common concern among friends, but it surprised Zhong Lizi.

No matter in the Underground Minsheng Community or Stargate University, such a dialogue has never happened before.

For Jing Jiu, this is a very rare thing. One must know that he may care about the world, but it will definitely not be expressed in words.

"Uh...it's hard."

Zhong Lizi felt a little headache when he thought about the lessons for the past few days. As her close servants, Jiang Yuxia and Huaxi need to learn much less than her, and they are all genetically optimized geniuses. Even so, it is very hard work, let alone her.

"Actually, I have always wondered. Maybe some inheritance needs to be kept secret, but why do you need to memorize knowledge such as art?"

She said with a blank face: "I can't even memorize the chronological list, let alone the specific content."

Jing Jiu asked, "How did you study?"

Zhong Lizi said: "There is a quiet room in the college. You only need to sit in it and meditate, and a lot of knowledge fragments will enter your mind."

Logically speaking, this is an absolute secret of the priestesses, and she cannot tell anyone. But when Jing Jiu asked, of course she would not stop talking.

The inheritance of the priestess has always been passed on by word of mouth, not written down, which has been criticized and questioned countless times.

In the early years, the priestess could not gain the trust of the human public, which was related to this.

Even in modern times, many people, including the surrender faction, still use this to attack the priestesses. The ancient civilization has both incomparably magnificent culture and extremely high-end technology. Why don't the priestesses speak out to help the human beings in the new century develop better and fight against the sea of ​​dark things better?

No matter from which point of view, this makes no sense, and it is easy to extrapolate accusations against the priestesses.

"She doesn't trust humans."

This is the explanation given by Jing Jiu.

Zhong Lizi guessed who he was talking about, and stopped in shock.

Jing Jiu continued, "Including you."

Zhong Lizi looked at a lone tree deep in the grass, not knowing what to say.

The huge sun sank below the horizon, and the stars in the night sky instantly became brighter, and the brightness of the light did not change much from before.

The tree, bathed in starlight, becomes a little more sacred and more solitary.

She said softly, "So...you didn't have a good talk with that person?"

Jing Jiu said, "No, I don't believe it either."

The girl named "Fei" doesn't trust the Ascender from Chaotian Continent, but he is different after all.

In the story called "Da Dao Chao Tian", Qing Tian Jian and Wan Wu Yi, Qing Er and Ping Yong Jia, and Xue Ji all proved this point constantly.

Zhong Lizi was startled to understand what he meant by this sentence, and suddenly felt that his figure became lonely, like the tree in the grass.

Many years ago at the Meihui in Chaoge City, he heard the sound of Lian Sanyue's piano. At that time, Zhao Layue had a similar feeling when he looked at him.

Her gaze fell on Jing Jiu's earlobe, and she noticed that the notch had become extremely smooth, and it was hard to even notice it if she didn't compare it with the other protruding ear.

It should be because he has often touched it with his hands recently.

Why does he often touch his earlobe with his hands? Because some upset.

How to relieve worries, someone's fingers are not there.

"Are... are you okay?" Zhong Lizi asked.

Jing Jiu didn't answer her question, took out an object and handed it to Zhong Lizi, saying, "If something happens, burn it."

It was an origami crane made of yellow paper. Whether it was the material or the shape, or if it was burned, it was a bit unlucky.

Zhong Lizi looked at him and said with a trembling voice, "What could happen?"

Jing Jiu said, "It's not your business, don't ask."

From that apartment building to the Stargate University Hotel, and then to this manor, he brought her a lot of changes, but he never thought of changing her completely.

For example, he used immortal energy to wash and refine her body, but he never thought of teaching her to practice Taoism.

The human beings in this world are not suitable for practicing the Taoism of the Chaotian Continent, and Zhong Lizi's talent is also mediocre, but these are not the real reasons.

He didn't want her to know too many things, to be too connected to him.

In this way, when something happens to her, she will have a chance to leave.

Yes.

For the first time, he began to wonder if something might happen to him.

That doesn't mean he's no longer confident.

He still thinks that he is the strongest among the Ascenders who left Chaotian Continent, except for Xue Ji.

But this time is different after all.

...

...

Early the next morning.

The sun is not out yet.

The stars are no longer as bright as they were in the first half of the night.

The manor was quiet.

Insects in the grass are making their last chirps of the day.

After staying up all night, Ran Handong washed his face with cold water, circulated the true energy in his body, forcibly pulled himself together, and knocked on the door of the room.

Jing Jiu got up from the chair, picked up the black backpack, and walked out the door.

Last night, Zhong Lizi was thinking about what Jing Jiu said about the accident, so he couldn't sleep well. He didn't fall asleep until early in the morning, and was easily awakened by the knock on the door.

She rubbed her eyes, saw his figure, woke up instantly, sat up from the bed, and asked, "Where are you going?"

"Meet someone." Without further explanation, Jing Jiu put on his backpack and turned the hood of his blue hoodie over to cover his eyebrows.

Ran Handong smiled at Zhong Lizi, closed the door, put on his military cap, and quickened his pace to follow.

A slightly cold wind blows from the depths of the steps, blowing grass clippings and fluttering gently, and the levitating train has already left.

Zhong Lizi stood on the terrace, watching the scene in the distance, subconsciously tightened his pajamas.

Jiang Yuxia and Huaxi walked into the room listening to the movement, and Zhong Lizi waved his hand, indicating that there was nothing wrong. Jiang Yixia glanced at her worriedly. Huaxi walked to the railing, staring at the grass clippings dancing with the wind with wide eyes, her little face was full of innocence, she didn't know what she was thinking.

...

...

The suspension train didn't know where it stopped, anyway, the service staff didn't know at which station Jing Jiu and Ran Handong left.

Two hours later, a black spaceship landed on the ice field in the extreme south of the planet.

"You shouldn't have brought me here." Ran Handong stared into Jing Jiu's eyes and said, "It's impossible for me not to tell my father about this."

The female officer's breathing was a little short, and it turned into a thick white mist on the cold field.

Jing Jiu said, "How did you guess that?"

"There are more than a dozen warships in the far space, and countless satellites outside the atmosphere, not to mention so many monitoring stations on the surface. As a result, we flew to the southernmost part of the planet without any monitoring." Ran Handong said with a pale face: "My father can't do it, and that one can't do it either."

She thought it was the one who wanted to see Jing Jiu, but she didn't expect to come to the extreme southern ice field, and she didn't find any monitoring during the whole process.

To do such an incredible thing, there must be a prerequisite, and that is to control the entire military.

There is only one person in the whole world who can do it.

Jing Jiu said, "I want to see him."

Ran Handong said with a trembling voice, "What exactly do you want to do?"

A few days ago in the dark universe, the battleship was burning, and the calm and profound sound floated in the spherical flame.

Jing Jiu said that if we meet...

As soon as he said this, the battleship was destroyed. No one knew what the second half of his sentence was, and no one knew what would happen after they met.

Maybe nothing will happen.
