Chapter 492 Impact
Facts proved that what Kikyo said was completely correct. Miss Qingji grew up very fast and had already determined the direction from the beginning.
Besides, this change is not abrupt, it is not the feeling of suddenly changing one's personal experience - at least the two who paid close attention to this matter discovered the natural change of each other. In just a few days, the other party naturally grew into a complete monster "Qingji".
Qing Ji’s concept of monsters not only includes the “power attributes” such as the transformation of dragons and snakes, the fire of red lotus, but also includes Qing Ji’s experience, memory, emotions, obsession and pursuit... and so on. Basically, it is to create a monster that should be flesh and blood from all aspects in every aspect.
It's not real people or real things.
But now Miss Qingji has formed a body and has appeared in this world in a real way. She is no longer an unspoken person. It is also because she is soaked in Pei Chen's blood. Although Miss Qingji is not a purely inhuman thing, she already has some purely inhuman things.
For example, if she truly possesses an entity and combines the rumored concept of monsters, human fear is no longer a necessity for her to maintain her body as the basis of existence. However, if she has the power of fear as support, she can also obtain a stronger power attachment—
To answer using Pei Chen's professional terms, it would be equivalent to adding an additional demonic power slot and improving certain skill levels. In this regard, Miss Qingji was naturally confused, but Lord Kikyo said she didn't want to talk to him.

"You should be ready to go back next... I feel like I've been running around these days, and even Hokkaido has been to..."
I couldn't help but mutter a few words, Pei Chen yawned and stretched his waist hard. The sky was cloudy, the rain was swaying, and the cold wind was cold. He stood on a cliff somewhere, looking at the oasis paddy fields, the fields, and the smoke from cooking fires below...
Such an ancient and isolated small village is the norm in this era.
Basically, in the life of most people, the world they know cannot exceed twenty miles outside the village... Maybe there are terms such as royal family and shogunate, but it is impossible to let them say something, and it is not as good as the nearest town or lord for them.
Basically, people have a natural sense of fear outside the village - because the village is the space for their whole life - and their general understanding of the surrounding areas, nations, countries, etc. makes their understanding of the whole world still blurred, and they don't want to take that step on their own initiative -
For example, if no one comes to collect taxes, food, labor, no one comes to rob, burn, and kill them... Anyway, as long as no outsiders take the initiative to break into their small world, I am afraid they will be able to maintain such a state of life. Maybe they have no literary and artistic sayings about their hometown, homesickness, etc., but they also understand that nostalgia is a common emotion for human beings.
Neighbors look at each other, and the sound of chickens and dogs is heard, and people will not interact until they die of old age and death...
This is simply the most ideal social state advocated by Huang Lao's studies. A small country with few people, governing without doing anything is always like this. There is no need to worry that someone will cause trouble...
Because in the minds of these people, whether it is the emperor's name or the Ming Empire far away from the other side of the ocean, they are just some very vague concepts, and some people may not be able to tell the difference between the two at all.
After all, they are all the concepts that are extremely far away from their own world. So if one thousand miles apart or ten thousand miles apart, they are actually the same. There is no absolute difference or difference, and there is no need to distinguish clearly—
If you have so much time, wouldn’t it be better to take care of the crops and pick up a few more firewood? Perhaps in a cold winter, the dividing line between dead and living people will be stuck on the extra rations and firewood. In this era when it was still the Little Ice Age, hunger and cold can easily capture people’s lives.
"Sir Pei Chen, what are you looking at?"
Miss Qingji was completely different from a few days ago. She held a greasy paper umbrella that she found from somewhere, and there was no water vapor all over her body. She smiled at the monster from the side, and asked softly and respectfully, curious but not without politeness.
Now she is like a famous princess from a family, wearing a light blue and white dress with light gold borders, and there are strange white headdresses similar to dragon horns on both sides of her head. Miss Qingji's eyes are very clear, and her words and deeds are very polite and polite, which is proportional to her appearance's slenderness, weakness, dignity and virtuousness.
Just looking at her current performance, no one will associate her with the newborn monster a few days ago. After all, the latter is too stupid and cute, but the former looks like an elegant and generous noble daughter.
"It's just a wonder why people here noticed my whereabouts... It's funny. I seem to have some messy 'fear'. I don't know who saw it there, and it started to spread it?!" Pei Chen shook his head slowly, "There are some strange concepts on his body for no reason. If he decides to refine it, he might have some strange basic abilities..."
As he spoke, his eyes were staring at the village at the foot of the mountain. He could easily capture the trajectory of cause and effect, and naturally he could see where the extra fear and monster concepts came from.
But Pei Chen still felt strange. He seemed to have only passed by this place once, and it was still flying through the air at dawn when the sky was still dark. The villagers should not have seen the traces! But if it weren't for revealing his whereabouts, then no matter what, even if the rumors were 90% similar to him, those feared concepts would not be found on him.
Cause and effect are so wonderful. You weave a story or rumors about a person or something itself. No matter how bizarre or unreliable it is, it is ultimately a targeted action. In this way, you have a causal connection with that person or thing.
But if you never know that there is such a person or an item in the world, and the stories or rumors that come up randomly happen to be exactly the same as the other party. But this is all because of your unintentional action, so there will be no karma or retribution.
After all, the former is cause and effect, while the latter is coincidence. Coincidence can be cause and effect, but cause and effect do not refer to coincidence. Destiny is like a big net, and the mysterious connection in the dark is the thread of this giant net.
"Then, Lord Pei Chen, do you need me to do something?!"
Miss Qingji was still smiling gracefully, allowing Pei Chen to look at herself up and down with his rude eyes. The vague shape of a big snake appeared around her for a moment, slowly hovering with fire.
“…”
After a while, she found that the girl could not see the shadow of the previous few days. Pei Chen then looked back with a strange look and stopped staring at Qingji for a while, but she couldn't help but touch her nose, and her thoughts couldn't help but fly to two days ago.
...
...
"...Hey, I just woke up. Where is this?"
"Ahhh, I forgot the key thing. Are there any very familiar temples-"
"...Ah, right. I can think of some bad things. It's mainly what I did during my lifetime."
"Oh, it's rude. I'm the only one who keeps talking."
...
...
"What a terrible 'growth'. Having said that, Qingji, don't you think something is wrong?!"
He turned around and looked at the witch who was quietly holding his knees and sitting under the tree to avoid the rain. Even though Kikyo had mentioned the fundamental difference between "change" and "growth", Pei Chen still felt a little awkward when he saw this situation. Are Qingji and the same person before?
He still couldn't help but mention this, and asked tentatively, deliberately or unintentionally.
Qingji smiled faintly and said without any hesitation about this topic: "Since you said you have 'grown up', what's wrong? The little woman is really not talented. It was not until yesterday that she completely recalled those memories. She was really too rude before, so please forgive me."
She respects Pei Chen very much, which is the kind of love and respect from the heart, especially after remembering the memories and experiences completely. It is not the kind of surrender and respect the monsters to the big monsters, but some strange connection at a deeper level—
After all, in a sense, her blood, demonic power and even demonic energy all originated from Pei Chen, and it can be said that she inherited part of the power and life of the monster without reservation. If she pursued it carefully, she would even find that if it weren't for him cutting his wrist and bleeding, there would be no such opportunity. I'm afraid Miss Qingji would have to exist as a monster in rumors as a concept, and would never have appeared in the world.
“…”
Pei Chen was speechless and couldn't help but look at the girl up and down again, then turned his head and suppressed the awkward feeling in his heart, "Forget it, as long as you think there is no problem, after all... well, let's not talk about this, please go over and call Kikyo, we are about to leave."
Qingji turned her head gently and looked at the village at the foot of the mountain.
"Don't care about them anymore. I don't intend to care about anything with them. After all, it's just a small episode. I can only say that I was a little careless... Go!" Pei Chen said softly.
"Well, okay, Lord Pei Chen." Qing Ji bowed slightly and turned around and was about to leave.
"Well, don't be so stern. Although I said that there are no monsters in this world, the next one will not be the era of monsters. You can follow us for the time being before you think about your way..." Pei Chen smiled helplessly, "But this does not mean that I treat you as a maid and entourage. There is no need to do this..."
"Uh, Lord Pei Chen, do you mean?..." Qing Ji turned her head, looking a little confused.
In some ways, Miss Kiyohime and Akichi Mitsuhide are really very similar. Maybe there will be a more common language between the two?
I couldn't help but think of this in my mind. Pei Chen organized a speech and said, "I mean, you don't need to be so respectful to me. If you communicate with each other, you can be more natural..."
To be honest, Pei Chen also felt it was very unnatural when he saw that the other party was always respectful to him like this!
"Why should I call you better? Master Pei Chen." Although Qing Ji understood it, the confusion in her expression increased instead of decreasing. She seemed to understand the other party's meaning and didn't know how to do it.
"This is naturally as you like. Just call it whatever you like! As long as it is not such a stern honorific, it will be better naturally." Pei Chen said, then hesitated for a moment, and was about to give an example.
Miss Qingji was already frowning and shouted timidly in an uncertain tone:
"Then, that...Master Father?!"
...
...
"Puff!... Cough cough cough cough cough cough—"
Junfu City, outer city area, arsenal.
Pei Chen assembled and adjusted the parameters of the equipment in his hand expressionlessly, while taking a sip of the water cup next to him. Then his face suddenly changed and his eyes widened, as if he had seen something unbelievable.
Naiyako was tiptoing to watch Pei Chen debugging the melee ion pulse weapon full of ferocious and violent beauty in his hand, but he didn't expect that the other party seemed to have been stimulated by some unknown stimulation, and then he sprayed it out on the spot, and then coughed continuously.
Choked?!How is it possible!
“…”
After blinking his eyes, he realized after a second. The silver-haired girl with head and water covered in water was naturally furious. She waved her little arm and wanted to go up and beat the other person. However, Pei Chen grabbed her wrist and apologized repeatedly: "Sorry, sorry, it's all a misunderstanding... I didn't mean it."
"Let go! Do you let go?!... Of course I know you didn't mean it!! If you were intentional, I would just let you go?!" Naiako said without any intention of stopping, gritting her teeth, and squeezed her head into his arms with all her might, rubbing her hard on his clothes.
"Okay, okay, it's mine..." After finally comforting the angry evil god Loli, Pei Chen looked entangled. He didn't know where he took out a clean and white towel, and stood helplessly behind Naiyako and helped the girl wipe the water marks on her hair.
But he kept sighing, as if his entangled emotions did not disappear because of calming down. Instead, he thought more clearly, which aggravated this strange and inexplicable emotional fluctuation.
Knowing that the monster in front of him was just a sub-body. The Lord had been in Tianshou Pavilion all the time, and there were unknown sub-body movements outside. It was not too strange that Naiyako was acting like this strange thing about him.
Perhaps this behavior is nothing more than something that this guy's other sub-body and even the deity were particularly shocked, which caused uncontrollable reactions and emotional fluctuations in other sub-body bodies?
But what exactly is the thing that can make this guy lose his beauty? The silver-haired girl was curious about this. So she chose to ask angrily, very direct.
Pei Chen hesitated for a moment, and then felt that there was no need to hide it. After all, Kikyo knew it. He scratched his forehead, gestured one by one with a tangled tone, telling what had just happened, including the terrible name that was no less than a mental shock, which even made his consciousness confusing for a moment.
Then, Naiyako laughed happily: "Shi Najun, you are too useless. You just called you such a title, and it is logically reasonable... Why are you still so unhappy?!"
"Should I be very happy?" Pei Chen asked in surprise, as if he could not understand the meaning of the evil god girl's words. Moreover, the expression on his face did not seem to be a false statement, as if he really felt unacceptable about this matter.
Now it was Naiyako's turn to become surprised: "Isn't it? Suddenly, such a young and beautiful daughter came out. Don't you all deserve..."
"Hey, hey, speak well, the races are different, you have the nerve to open the map cannon without any difference?! Gender discrimination is not desirable..." Pei Chen stopped the girl's words and shook his head repeatedly, "It's better to say less things to take for granted. If you don't empathize, how will it be natural? I ask you, what would it feel like if you suddenly have an extra son? Do you really have that kind of disharmonious thought?!"
"..." Naiyako raised her head and looked at the ceiling, followed the imagined conditions given by Pei Chen, and suddenly she shivered. She felt a chill deep in her heart, and she laughed dryly.
"Sorry, Shina Jun, it seems that I don't want to have such responsibility yet!"
However, the monster did not take advantage of the victory or contempt her on the moral high ground, but instead said to herself in a very strange tone: "So, it's better to say less things that are taken for granted. When I think of having an extra daughter... I'll go! Why should I think of such a terrible thing, I'd better avoid it!"
