"...That's about it. Have you memorized everything?"
The dim candlelight swayed slightly, and I don't know how long it took, but Wei Changtian finally finished telling "Journey to the West".
According to the original work, the four masters and disciples finally seek the right fruit and get the right fruit; the one who seeks immortality gets immortality; the one who seeks full food gets full food; the one who seeks to be free from pain is freed from pain. It is a comedy ending.
Of course, some people think it is tragic, so I won’t discuss it here.
But anyway, the mere fact that monsters turned into gods is 100% inconsistent with Daning's official value orientation of "monsters are unforgivable".
Therefore, in order to ensure that the book could be "published" smoothly and avoid getting into any trouble, Wei Changtian simply changed the ending——
One of the two monsters, Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie, was suppressed for another five hundred years, and the other was directly slapped to death.
Tang Monk and Sha Monk are basically the same as in the original work, one became a Buddha and the other became a golden Arhat.
Don't worry about whether the ending is reasonable or artistic enough.
When writing a novel, first make sure not to get 404. This is true.
Wei Changtian took a sip of tea with a dry mouth, and Lu Jingyao also put down her pen gently.
"Yeah, I've written it all down."
She had no doubts about the ending. She hesitated for a while before asking: "Is there another book after "Journey to the West"?"
"The next book..."
Wei Changtian knew what Lu Jingyao meant, but he was not sure about it now.
"Maybe there is, maybe not. If there is, I will write it out and send it to you."
"oh……"
Lu Jingyao lowered her head, and after a long silence, she suddenly asked again in an inaudible voice: "Can I go to Shuzhou with you?"
Wei Changtian was a little surprised: "You want to come with me too?"
"Yeah?" Lu Jingyao raised her head blankly.
"cough!"
Realizing the gaffe, Wei Changtian hurriedly responded: "It's not important. The key is that I can't bring my family with me on this trip. It's not like you don't know."
"I can pretend to be a maid!"
Lu Jingyao blurted out a sentence, and it seemed that she had already thought of a solution.
"Pretending to be a maid..."
Wei Changtian was stunned: "Okay, okay, but you can't play the role of a maid for three years, right?"
"I can!"
Lu Jingyao expressed her stance without hesitation: "I, I can endure hardship! I won't let others see my identity, and I will definitely not cause trouble for you!"
"this……"
Looking at that pretty face full of expectation, Wei Changtian was a little confused for a moment.
To be honest, he still doesn't really know what kind of feelings he has for Lu Jingyao.
To say that she is completely treated as a tool seems a little different.
Can you say you like it?
Not really.
At first, he only wanted to keep Lu Jingyao to earn more system points, but later he gradually adapted to the fact that there would always be a woman in the yard who would sullenly wait for his return...
After a long time, a voice broke the silence in the room.
"forget it."
"..."
Lu Jingyao's body shook suddenly as if she had been hit by an invisible giant hammer.
She forced a smile, but before she could speak, she heard Wei Changtian continue:
"But I once said - you only need to stay in Wei Mansion for half a year. After half a year, I will no longer care about what you want to do."
"...If you still want to go to Shuzhou by then...then go."
"..."
Lu Jingyao instantly became pleasantly surprised and was so excited that she couldn't even speak, she just nodded her head.
Seeing her looking so happy, Wei Changtian didn't react on the surface, but in fact he sighed secretly.
Alas, I don’t know whether this is right or wrong.
…
…
September twenty-seven.
Wei Changtian got up before dawn.
Everything he had brought with him to Shuzhou had been loaded onto the carriage. Looking back at the slightly empty room, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
It has been less than three months since I traveled through time, and I never thought I would have to move.
I have done a lot of things in the past three months, but I have also left a lot of regrets.
The "Yum Victory" vow I made in the martial arts hall was still ten wins away; I didn't go to the brothel with Kong Changgui as I promised; the Freemasonry has not yet played a small role; there are still a few monsters in the plot that I haven't had time to kill...
More importantly, there is one person who is not married.
After Wei Changtian came out, he went to see Xu Qingwan. Kong Changgui said that she was sick and had gone home, so he went to Xu's house again, but still no one was seen.
After waiting at the door of Xu's house for a whole afternoon, a little girl finally came out and handed him a piece of red rope.
Wei Changtian didn't know why Xu Qingwan didn't want to see him, but he thought it was because she couldn't bear the pain of separation.
It's hard to say goodbye when we meet.
He shook his head, reached out and grabbed the dragon's chant on the table, and walked out of the room.
The red rope tied to the handle of the knife swayed in the wind, just like the red clouds dancing on the black hair.
Turning around and closing the door, he glanced at Lu Jingyao who was hiding behind the window and secretly looking at him. Wei Changtian smiled and said something.
"Don't forget the things for Qiaoling."
…
"Gulu gulu..."
The waning moon sheds white light, the wheels of the carriage run over the bluestone pavement, and the post bells on the horses' necks sway.
Wei Changtian didn't ask anyone to see him off. In addition to himself, there were Yuan'er who was quietly wiping her tears and a strong man sitting in the car.
Wang Er was left in the capital by Wei Changtian because he had to take care of the affairs of the Freemasonry.
This man is his chosen "successor".
The name is also perfunctory - Zhang San.
Is the outlaw finally here?
He casually lifted the curtain and watched as the familiar yet unfamiliar scenery flashed before his eyes one by one. Not long after, the carriage drove out of the city gate.
At this moment, the sun has not yet risen, and the late autumn morning fog is particularly heavy. The heavy dew hangs on the grass blades on both sides of the official road, crystal clear.
There were more than a hundred soldiers in green armor waiting in front. In addition to a supervisor sent by the imperial court, there were also a man and a woman at the head.
It was Liang Zhen who happened to be returning to Shuzhou after finishing his duties, and Liang Qin who looked a little complicated.
"Hahaha! My dear nephew, why don't you get out of the car and take another look at the capital?"
As if to relieve Wei Changtian's "depression", Liang Zhen laughed loudly.
However, Wei Changtian had no intention of getting out of the car, he just laughed loudly and said:
"Uncle Liang, it's not like I'm not coming back! What's there to see?"
"Then let's leave now?"
"Walk!"
"..."
More than a hundred riders and five or six carriages began to move slowly, and soon disappeared at the end of the official road.
The capital city behind him is still sleeping, but the sky is getting whiter.
…
…
Three days later.
Xuanjing Division, Liuye Department.
Zhou Cheng looked at Xu Qingwan who had "returned from illness" with a little surprise on his face.
"Mr. Xu Qi, why didn't you tie a red rope today?"
"..."
Xu Qingwan was stunned for a moment, said nothing, and walked away.
Zhou Cheng touched his head in confusion, thinking that Xu Qingwan had forgotten about it.
The next day, Zhou Cheng met Xu Qingwan and asked the same question again, but still did not get an answer.
On the third day, Zhou Cheng asked again.
On the fourth day, I asked again.
After asking for five days in a row, Zhou Cheng finally figured out the reason and stopped asking again.
Two more months have passed.
That day, Zhou Cheng was fighting demons with some policemen at the place. It was snowing heavily outside.
Just when he was only one step away from victory, Xu Qingwan, with a red rope tied around her head, suddenly appeared.
"Zhou Cheng, I'm leaving the capital."
"ah?"
Zhou Cheng turned around in an instant and didn't even notice that the seventeenth card in his hand had been played.
"Li Jing? Where are you going? Do you have a mission?"
"no."
Xu Qingwan smiled, very sweet.
"I've been transferred to Shuzhou."
…
Wei Mansion.
Lu Jingyao opened the courtyard door wearing a thick cloak, her cheeks flushed.
Qiuyun shook the paper umbrella beside him, smiled and urged: "Madam, the snow is too heavy, let's go inside quickly to warm up!"
"Um."
Lu Jingyao nodded, but after taking two steps, she suddenly stopped and reached out to catch a snowflake.
"Qiuyun, do you think it will snow in Shuzhou?"
"Madam, I have never been out of the capital since I was a child. How could I know this?"
Qiuyun covered her mouth and smiled: "Do you want to write to the Master again? You have written five letters this month!"
"You made fun of me again!"
Lu Jingyao pretended to hit Qiu Yun: "There is another letter written for you!"
"Ah! Madam, spare your life, I don't dare to do it anymore!"
"Don't run away!"
One of the two girls was running away and the other was chasing after them, and the small courtyard was a little lively for a while.
And at this moment, another equally familiar voice floated in from outside the hospital.
