Snap——
He raised his other hand and slapped himself hard in the face.
The slap sounded particularly crisp.
Cang Ming's head tilted slightly, and a trickle of blood slowly flowed from the corner of his lips.
One of his hands was still pinching Qing Wu's neck, without exerting any force, while with the other hand, after slapping himself, he strangled his own throat in a tight position.
On the other hand, Qing Wu remained calm from beginning to end, watching him slap himself with interest.
It was clearly a funny and crazy scene, but Cang Ming's expression remained calm, "Why is it so?"
He withdrew his hand and returned to normal, except that the silk binding on his wrist had turned blood red.
He did not look regretful, but rather seemed to be thinking, speaking in a calm tone as if he was chatting with an old friend.
"After reincarnation, I seem to value your life and safety more than my own."
Qing Wu raised the corners of her lips, and there was warmth in her eyes. She raised her chin proudly: "That's my fault, you should know it very well."
Cang Ming himself is clear.
From the moment he regained consciousness, he knew about this "accident".
"Want to talk?" He took the initiative to ask, his eyes sweeping over the ink in Qing Wu's hand: "Between you and me, it shouldn't be a matter of life and death yet."
Qing Wu smiled and threw away Mo Yu. Mo Yu turned back into Bi Xiao Fang and said regretfully, "I won't fight anymore."
"Arakshasas." Cang Ming said softly, "Your Dharma is very vindictive."
"So what?" Qing Wu raised her eyebrows.
"He holds a grudge, will you hold it against me?"
Qing Wu looked at him for a while and said, "That depends on your performance."
Cang Ming hummed, "Then you should bear more responsibility in the future."
Qing Wu raised her eyebrows, said nothing more, and went back to the county magistrate's mansion with him.
The two of them sat down in the garden at the backyard of the county governor's mansion, and no one dared to disturb them.
There was nothing scenic about the County Magistrate's Mansion Garden. County Magistrate Zhou was still very frugal. With a flick of Cangming's sleeves, the scenery suddenly changed.
The fallen petals are colorful and the green bamboos are lush.
The wind no longer had the salty and fishy smell peculiar to the coastal city, but instead had a fragrance.
Cang Ming sat on a platform, slowly burning incense and brewing tea, his posture was natural and harmonious, and there was a sense of Taoism in his every move.
At this moment, he was like the golden statue enshrined high in the temple, detached from the world and untainted by mundane thoughts.
Cold and distant, with no dust in his eyes and no warmth at all.
Qing Wu sat opposite him, watching him silently. She truly felt that the Cang Ming in front of her was inseparable from her inkstone.
However, he seemed somewhat different from the so-called prince of the gods that she had imagined.
Cang Ming prepared tea for her and gently pushed her closer, "Please."
Qing Wu picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then put it down. The tea was very fragrant, but unfortunately, she was not used to it.
Seeing this, Cang Ming thought for a moment, and when he raised his hand, a sugar jar appeared on the table. He used a tea clip to pick up a piece of maltose and put it in the tea bowl.
The maltose melted, and he looked at Qing Wu with questioning eyes, "Do you like it this way?"
Qing Wu picked up the tea and took another sip. It tasted sweet, just the taste she liked.
She raised her eyes to look at him: "You also know that I like sweet things?"
"You like sweets, delicious food, fancy clothes, and treasures." Cang Ming said slowly, "You probably like drinking the most, but you can't drink much."
Qing Wu glared at him: "You have a poor alcohol tolerance!"
Cang Ming: "I don't drink."
Qing Wu was stunned for a moment. The current situation and atmosphere seemed a bit scary.
"It's so hard to talk to you. Say what you want to say quickly. If your words don't make sense, let's have a fight."
"You can't kill me anyway, so I advise you to surrender and not fight with my Yantai for his body. I don't want to cripple his body either."
Cang Ming: "But you won't show mercy."
Qing Wu: "...You understand me quite well."
"Well, the other me has you on my mind."
Qing Wu: “…”
A god and a ghost looked at each other.
Qing Wu swallowed the tea in one gulp: "Just say it directly, don't waste your words. In this situation, you can't do anything without me."
Cang Ming poured her another cup of tea, put two maltose in it, and continued to drink it slowly and leisurely.
"I'll tell you everything."
"Be patient and don't be too impatient."
Qing Wu: I wasn’t in a hurry at first, but when I saw you looking so anxious, I became a little anxious.
Cang Ming...why is he such...such a person?
What happened to the promise of being ruthless, cunning, mean and having nothing to do with God?
At the moment, it looks as if all the roots of evil have been cut off.
Perhaps Qing Wu's thoughts were written on her face, Cang Ming pursed his lips and said:
"You already know my background."
"And everything starts with the Burning Sky Rebellion."
Cang Ming was born with the favor of heaven. Ever since he was old enough to understand, all he sought was to seek the great way.
"The Fire of Common People can burn Chi You's consciousness, but my Great Dao is incomplete, the Great Dao of Common People is not perfect, and I cannot ignite the Fire of Common People. Therefore, I sought help from outside."
Qing Wu narrowed her eyes slightly: "Mi Yan's mother?"
Cang Ming nodded, "The last Peacock King controls the Nanli Divine Fire. Her help can help me eliminate Chi You's consciousness, but something unexpected happened in the process."
"The barrier of the Thirty-layer Heaven was opened, and the evil demons from outside the domain suddenly attacked. The Peacock King's Nanli Divine Fire suddenly lost control, causing the Fire of Common People that I had just ignited to also lose control. At that time, I used the Fire of Common People to extinguish the evil demons from outside the domain that broke in, but I could no longer control the fire, which triggered the Burning Heaven Rebellion."
Qing Wu frowned as she listened, "Then how did your soul fall into the hands of the Wu Clan?"
"The consciousness of Chi You is hidden in my soul. At that time, my soul was engulfed by a ball of chaotic energy and fell into a deep sleep in the Fengju Yumen."
After several years, the Wu Clan lay in hiding, and then they found Fan You and reincarnated Cang Ming into a human.
"The remaining soul of the previous Peacock King was taken away by my old man and hidden in the other side of the sea in the underworld." Qing Wu looked at him quietly: "I have always wondered why my old man would take action."
"After all, the Burning Heaven Rebellion of your God Clan has nothing to do with our Ghost Clan."
Cang Ming met her scrutinizing gaze:
"That day, Lord Fanyou was led to the Thirty-first Heaven by my people."
Qing Wu pondered.
If what Cang Ming said was true, then during the Burning Heaven Rebellion, both he and Mi Yan's mother were plotted against. Whether it was Mi Yan's mother suddenly losing control or the invasion of evil demons from outside the domain, it all seemed like a deliberate plot.
And it is not difficult to guess the real culprit behind the scenes. After all, it is just one of the Emperor of Heaven and the Empress of Heaven, or maybe, both of them are not clean.
"You calculated everything, but the Burning Heaven Rebellion still happened." Qing Wu looked at him straight in the eye: "Since you calculated that the Burning Heaven Rebellion might fail and made arrangements, what about the things that happened afterwards?"
"Reincarnated as Xiao Chenyan, was your meeting and acquaintance with me also a conspiracy?"
"In order to achieve your Dao, if the Dao of the common people is completed, how are you going to cross the remaining Dao of the Supreme Forgetfulness?"
Qing Wu smiled and said, "Kill me?"
"What a pity..." Qing Wu held her chin with her hand and looked at him teasingly and mockingly: "You can't kill me at all now, what should I do, Cang Ming Taizi."
"Killing my wife to prove my truth is not my way." Cang Ming looked at her, "I won't kill you."
As for whether you have ever thought about it...
He is very frank.
"I did think about killing you, but failed a long time ago. It's not surprising that I failed again this time."
"Arasha, it seems to be destined that I can't kill you."
Cang Ming looked at Qing Wu and laughed for the first time.
There was warmth in the eyes of this smile, and also a certain kind of understanding.
This was the first time that Qing Wu found the shadow of her own inkstone on the other person. She frowned and felt uncomfortable.
"If you don't kill me, why do you blame my inkstone?"
"Or are you ready to surrender and let my Yantai swallow your consciousness?"
Her eyes rolled around, looking cunning and clever.
Cang Ming listened to her calling "my inkstone" over and over again, and a strange feeling was stirring in his chest, but he was familiar with this feeling.
Belongs to another 'him'.
"You are wrong, I am Xiao Chenyan, and Xiao Chenyan is also Cang Ming."
Qing Wu sneered: "Don't give me that. You are not like him. You are not as cute as my Yantai!"
This was the second time Cang Ming heard these words.
He looked at Qing Wu for a while, then said slowly: "It will become the same."
Qing Wu's face changed slightly, and these words made Gui think about it with great fear.
And Cang Ming's next words made her hair stand on end.
"Once I fall in love with you, he and I will be completely one."
