[Comprehensive] Tang Ji

The excellent medicinal herb Zhuo Ying, which grows in the great rivers and mountains, is of no use to human beings.

When the first frost came, Zhikong fell ill again, but this time, he couldn't survive.

His face was very calm, as if he had expected that he would not survive this winter month.

"Sorry, I can't go with you."

Zhikong lay on the bed and said to Sizi with an apologetic expression.

His cheeks had sunken.

Most people who are sick are like this.

Sizi looked very uncomfortable.

"Is it painful?"

"It seems a little bit."

Si Zi pursed her lips, and said reluctantly, "If this is what's best for you..."

Zhikong knew what Sizi was thinking.Having been together for almost a lifetime, Sizi's mood can never be hidden from him.

He smiled, and then said to Sizi: "I have something to tell you. It's about my past experience. Didn't you often ask me before? Now, I think it's very appropriate."

Sizi is still sleepy, she seems to have no interest in it.

But if Zhikong thinks it is very important, then she is still willing to listen.

"Go ahead, I'll listen."

Zhikong looked at the roof with a nostalgic expression.

"I'm not from this era. I'm from the 21st century, probably more than 1000 years later."

Sizi blinked, not understanding what Zhikong was talking about.

"Can you say that again?"

Zhikong calmly repeated, "I am not from this era, I come from more than 1000 years later."

"After more than 1000 years...?"

Sizi didn't expect that the secret hidden in Zhikong's heart would be this!

——This is even more unbelievable than monsters!

"Are you serious?"

Sizi was still a little skeptical.

Zhikong smiled and said, "When did I ever lie to you?"

Sizi lowered his head.

Then he raised his head and asked, "That's why you know so many things? So many new ideas?"

After hearing this, Zhikong smiled wryly.

"How can there be so many, just some trivial things. Thinking about it now, compared to the protagonists in those time travel novels, I am the least accomplished person..."

"Then what kind of achievement do you want?"

"At least not a monk..."

He laughed at himself.

No, speaking of which, this result was voluntary.

Although it was very resistant at first, but in the end...

When Zhikong first arrived, he became a little monk.This seemed to be a better way out at the time.

Later Master Xuannan was sent to Datang by the Emperor, Zhikong thought, Datang, how wonderful that would be!In Datang, the little monk is not the only way out!

Xuannan is so old, when he dies, he will be able to break away from his status as a monk.

So, he won the spot almost effortlessly.

How should I put it, many monks yearn for Datang, but they don't dare to go there.

The journey is long, and it is also a sea route. If you are not careful, you will be buried in the sea.Very scared.

So Zhikong's struggle went smoothly.Although Master Xuannan is more worried about his body.

In any case, the old and the young and the rest finally got on the boat bound for Datang.

Spent more than a month at sea.There were several storms, but fortunately, we survived the danger and arrived safely.

When he set foot on this strange and familiar land, Zhikong's heart was touched like never before.

But when he learned that the current emperor was not Emperor Taizong, he was inevitably a little disappointed.

He also specially prepared vestments.

——Although he was still a young monk, after arriving in the Tang Dynasty, Master Xuannan taught him as a direct disciple, so when he had an audience with the Holy Master, he specially prepared the cassock for him.

The life in Datang seems to be the same as in Heianjing.

The two were arranged in the Buddhist temple next to Princess Jinyang's tomb.

Zhikong knew very little about Princess Jinyang.The only thing I know is the messy TV series that have been changed on TV.

——It’s okay not to mention this kind of thing.

"I really thought so at the beginning. But after getting along with His Highness, I feel that it is not bad to still maintain the status of a monk."

Zhikong said softly.

What kind of thoughts are in this, he has never thought about it until now.

But now that so many years have passed, what's the difference between what you can't think about and what you want to do?

"The rest of the way, you have to go alone. Maybe after a thousand years, His Highness will meet the future me? No one can guarantee this kind of thing, right?"

"Can you really meet your future self?"

Sizi choked with sobs, as if looking forward to it.

"It's very possible. In the future, there must be someone like me who has never been to Ping'an Capital, never been to Tang Dynasty, and never met Your Highness."

"But what do you have to do with me like that?"

Hearing Sizi's resistance, Zhikong was silent for a while.

He sighed, "Don't be angry... May I buy you sweet-scented osmanthus candy?"

Sizi finally couldn't bear it anymore.

Weeping and saying: "Where can I buy osmanthus candy here..."

……

Zhikong left very calmly.

Sizi suddenly thought of what Quan Weng had said to her before he left.

[The person in your heart must have nothing to be attached to in this world. 】

Zhikong still has some complaints about his previous life in his heart.

"Do you really have no regrets..."

Funerals are extremely simple.

— which is hardly a funeral.

Zhikong said before he was alive, don't just bury him like this, burn it to ashes and sprinkle it into the wind, it is the best result for him.

Si son disagreed, that would be a blow to the bones.

But she had no choice but to disagree, Zhikong asked King Ma Cangye.

The man was very decisive in his actions.No matter how sad Sizi looked at him, his eyelids would not blink.

Because Zhikong's soul comes from the future, so the soul is not under the jurisdiction of this era.

So after the body dies, the soul also disappears.

For this point, the rest of the people have no special doubts.

After a heavy snowfall, everything was buried.

Si sat with her knees hugged, looking at the white courtyard.

She didn't feel cold, but she wore the red hooded cloak anyway.

The cloak was made for her by Zhikong, who said that red suits her very well.

And he said that the cloak was consecrated by the Buddha, and it has the effect of avoiding filth and concentrating the soul.

Although, she hasn't felt so magical yet.

"Oh, this is the only thing he left me..."

"Are you leaving here?"

Junpei and his younger brother moved closer to her, afraid of the cold, they got into the cloak, only showing their two heads.

"Why do you ask that?"

"I don't know. I always feel that you are leaving. Are you going to find Mr. Abe?"

"……do not know."

Junpei said: "During the days when you went to Dajiangshan, Zhikong once said that he asked Mr. Abe to take care of you."

"...I never heard him talk about it."

"Maybe I forgot to mention it, they are all the same. One forgot to name my brother, and the other forgot to tell you about it."

Junpei said not without regret.

"Maybe, he didn't tell me on purpose. Sometimes it's hard to guess what he's thinking."

"You have to let go, it's not bad to go to Abe-sama, he seems to be a very good person."

"He is an onmyoji, you are a monster, aren't you afraid of him?"

Junpei said strangely: "Master Abe is a very good person. Although our identities are opposite, my brother and I have not committed any crimes. Why did he come to punish us? So, my brother and I are not afraid of him. "

"That's right, Mr. Abe is a good person. Well, you are also a good person. Everyone is a good person."

Junpei's younger brother Erlang agreed.

Sizi laughed out loud, this was the first time since Zhikong left that she laughed so carelessly.

"Don't you have a name yet? Do you mind if I get one for you?"

Erlang was still in a daze, while Junping nodded and said, "Okay, okay."

Afterwards, Jiro also nodded.

"Then please."

Sizi thought for a while, "Your name is Shunping, then you should be called Shengping."

"Oh, that's great! Brother, I'm a monster with a name too!"

Jiro seemed to like the name very much.He jumped up excitedly and hugged his brother in circles.

Shunping slapped him down, and said, "Why don't you thank Mr. Sizi?"

"Oh, almost forgot."

Erlang, who was named Shengping, came to his senses, knelt down to Sizi, kowtowed, full of respect.

"Thank you for your name."

"you are welcome."

After Sizi smiled, he looked at the snow-covered courtyard again.

— Then wait a thousand years.
