Chapter 102 Why Must the Mortal Stars Be in the Sky?
Qingyue sat in front of the table. Under the light of the fire, her face was as crystal clear as jade, like a flower tree covered with snow, and she was so beautiful.
There were still some tears in her eyes, and she stared at the indenture in her hand motionlessly.
The indenture was originally a cheap straw paper, just like Qingyue's cheap identity.
After years of straw paper, the ink on it was a little blurred. If you don't look carefully, you can't even see clearly what is written on it.
Qingyue felt that compared with this straw paper, she was not cheap, because she had the young master by her side, so she could hold this indenture in her hand and look at it carefully.
Today, Lu Jing came back and asked her to cook two bowls of noodles as usual.
The steaming noodles were served on the table. Qingyue was in a good mood because the young master gave her two cloud gold coins early this morning!
Two cloud gold coins are more precious than two taels of gold, which is equivalent to the young master's three-year monthly salary in the past!
Qingyue has never seen so much money since she was a child.
When her parents sold her to the Lu family, they only got a mere twenty taels of silver.
She was dark and thin at that time, so naturally she couldn't sell for much money.
Whenever Qingyue thought of these things, she felt that the two cloud gold coins in her hand were more and more valuable.
What made her even happier was that the origin of these cloud gold coins was also very precious and innocent.
"The young master is now a respected bookstore teacher. He earns the bookstore's innocent money and never has to look at anyone's face. It's great."
Because of this incident, Qingyue was happy for a whole day.
But at dinner in the evening.
When Lu Jing put down his chopsticks and casually took out the yellowed paper from his sleeve, Qingyue could no longer laugh.
She kept crying, and didn't care that the clear soup noodles on the table had cooled down. She kept carefully turning over and over the cheap straw paper.
On the straw paper, the signatures drawn by Qingyue's parents were the clearest, but the other words were only vaguely visible.
Lu Jing didn't comfort Qingyue, but just let her cry.
Because Lu Jing knew that there were many emotions in this cry, including joy, relief, and the farewell of the past, and it would be bad to suppress it all the time.
Qingyue cried for a while, and then began to carefully put away the body contract and put it in Lu Jing's cabinet.
She then finished eating the clear soup noodles on the table, and carefully took the ash and charcoal to heat Lu Jing's room.
She murmured to herself: "Now the weather is getting colder, Master, don't get cold, you have to cover yourself with a quilt when you sleep at night.
Although the doors and windows are closed, the wind is pervasive at this time. If you don't take precautions, it will not work."
Lu Jing nodded casually while looking at a book in his hand.
At night, Lu Jing was still reading a book, and Qingyue suddenly came to the yard and looked up at the sky.
Lu Jing found that Qingyue was no longer wearing the old floral dress before, and the cotton coat on her body was gone.
Instead, it was the clothes that Lu Jing bought for her.
At this time, Qingyue seemed to have changed into a different person.
Her eyes flashed with a completely different light from before, and her eyebrows were not so ordinary, but revealed a spirit, just like a daughter who fell into the mortal world, covered in dust in the past, but now reflecting the light, revealing her own extraordinaryness.
Lu Jing's door was still open at this time. He originally wanted Qingyue to go back to the house and let her be careful of the cold.
But when he saw that Qingyue's dark eyes seemed to reveal brilliant brocade, he didn't say anything.
The two of them were like this, one looking at the sky in the yard, not knowing what he was thinking.
The other one was reading in the house.
The picture was quiet and warm.
Perhaps it was because of Qingyue's gaze.
The clouds in the sky tonight slowly drifted by, and in the quiet night sky, a sky full of stars slowly emerged.
This ordinary night turned into a night with a sky full of stars.
This night is not ordinary.
Qingyue's eyes were shining, and she whispered, "Master, come and see these stars."
Lu Jing also put down the book in his hand, walked out of the courtyard, stood next to Qingyue and looked at the night sky.
The night sky at this time was extremely bright.
Almost all the darkness had passed away, the stars were always bright, and the moonlight was gentle, which was really beautiful.
"This sky is unusual every day. The long night is usually like many unpredictable things lurking, full of helplessness and darkness."
Qingyue squinted her eyes and whispered, "But it changes very quickly. I didn't pay attention, but there was already a lot of starlight above my head. The stars in the sky are like a shining Zhutai River, which is beautiful."
Lu Jing listened carefully.
Qingyue began her trivial murmurs again: "The reason why I was sold to the Lu family was actually not because of any tragic past. My parents loved me very much, and my brother didn't want to sell me. He cried for many days, but he just said that he was willing to go to the dock to run water, and was willing to join the Huai Gang as a scapegoat, and he didn't let my parents sell me.
It was just that my mother was very sick at that time, and my parents had suffered a lot in their lives, and they also relied on each other for life. My father couldn't bear to let my mother die like this, and there was an opportunity to sell his daughter to the Lu family, so he sold me to get some money to treat my mother's illness."
"I was willing at the time." Qingyue turned her head and smiled at Lu Jing: "Because I didn't want to see my mother die, and later I was assigned to the lady's courtyard, so I didn't regret it.
The lady raised me as a daughter and taught me to read and write, no worse than other favored maids.
Although the courtyard is poor, can it be worse than my family?"
"The common people in this world are all like this. 'The father plows the plains and goes to the fields, and the Ziluo Mountain goes to the wilderness.' This is the life of a good family. Those like us who live in the wilderness and come to the capital will die slowly.
Coming to the Lu Mansion gave Qingyue and Qingyue's family two more hopes.
One is for Qingyue, and the other is for Qingyue’s family. "
Qingyue talked incessantly, but her face became happier, "Later, my mother finally died. It was not until the fifth year after my mother died that my brother wrote to me and told me about it.
This was actually a good thing. The pain tortured her so much that she lost her human appearance, and her father was helpless about it. Just like his usual words, they were pale and barren. "
"But, it's different now."
Qingyue couldn't help but laugh out loud, her voice as clear as a silver bell, full of hope.
"In the early days, I was still worried and afraid of being separated from the young master, but today I feel that if the young master wants to take me with him, he can take me with him."
When Lu Jing heard this, he just smiled on his face. He was tall and reached out his hand slightly. His hand fell on Qing Yue's hair and rubbed it gently.
Qing Yue squinted her eyes, still looking at the stars in the sky.
She thought to herself: "It is said that the stars in the sky shine so that people in the mortal world can one day find their own stars."
Thinking of this, the girl turned her head and glanced at the young master beside her: "But, why do mortal stars have to be in the sky?"
——
He and Qing Yue watched the starry sky for a long time before Qing Yue fell asleep.
Today, Qing Yue insisted on sleeping next to Lu Jing.
She was lying next to Lu Jing, but she didn't seem to think much about it, and fell asleep within a dozen breaths.
Lu Jing looked at the sleeping Qing Yue and felt that the girl in front of him, who was one year older than him, seemed to have left everything to him.
In other words, in Qingyue's heart, she was originally Lu Jing's maid, and she belonged to Lu Jing from top to bottom.
Qing Yue was sleeping soundly. Lu Jing looked at her for a while, but he didn't have any distracting thoughts in his mind. He let many things take their own course and there was no need to rush.
As Lu Jing's soul and body became stronger and stronger.
The need for sleep is also drastically reduced.
Every time after visualizing the Great Sage Yantian, King of the Ming Dynasty, you only need to close your eyes and rest for an hour, and you can regain a lot of energy.
Therefore, for Lu Jing, night time is also precious, and it is a good time for him to practice.
Xiao Feng Lei Technique is a magical power that can only be practiced after being able to sense a large amount of vitality in the Rizhao realm.
It contains a large number of seals and incantations. The Yuanshen must not only learn the technique of small wind and thunder to circulate vitality, but also be proficient in these many seals and incantations.
I don’t know if it’s Lu Jing’s extraordinary talent, or whether he’s a genius in cultivation and the effectiveness of his understanding of destiny.
Lu Jing could often remember these many seals and curses exactly as soon as he thought about them.
Many of the details can be clearly ascertained.
This greatly accelerated Lu Jing's practice of magical powers.
In addition to Xiaofeng Lei Technique, Lu Jing is still practicing the Sun and Moon Sword Light, and he has never slackened in the practice of Daxue Mountain Zhenxuan Gong.
Daxue Mountain Zhenxuan Gong is actually very important to Lu Jing.
Because as Lu Jing continued to practice, and as the Great Ming King's contemplation continued to improve Lu Jing's body, the qi and blood in Lu Jing's body became thicker and thicker, gradually turning from numerous small waves into a small pond.
The pond surges, and every little corner of the body is exercised.
The same is true for the internal organs.
Maybe in the near future, Lu Jing will be able to use the viscera casting furnace method in Daxue Mountain Zhenxuan Gong to achieve the furnace state.
Now, I finally understand the part of King Ming’s concept.
"When I first started practicing martial arts, I felt like I was making great progress. At that time, my diet was very ordinary. I didn't eat a lot of meat, and I didn't have any medication to help me. However, I had an endless supply of energy throughout my body.
Now that I think about it, most of the factors that make it so unusual come from the idea of the Ming King.
Every time I visualize the Great Ming King, I am mobilizing some mysterious energy, which prevents me from stagnating in my martial arts practice because of the lack of meat and medicine. "
Lu Jing practiced for a long time before opening his eyes.
He thought for a moment and took another stone pendant from his waist.
This stone pendant was the one Lu Chongshan gave him.
Lu Jing knew that there was a reason why Lu Chongshan suddenly thought of this stone sculpture.
It was precisely because of his fight with Nan Xuehu and the perfect ominous image that he got the opportunity of Yangcheng.
"What's hidden in this stone sculpture?"
While Lu Jing was thinking this, his soul left his body and communicated with Lushan Guan Shen Jade.
The sacred jade in Lushan Temple bloomed brightly, and Lu Jing's eyes fell on the stone pendant.
But he saw that the unfinished sun on the stone sculpture was shining with great light.
The light is fierce and full of mysterious energy.
Another mysterious scene appeared in front of Lu Jing's eyes.
