In That Distant Little Dark Room

【Arc 2】Difficult to travel

Ch. 18 - A long journey

Zhang Jingmo used to be a kind person.

This is why his master once said that he was not suitable for cultivation and was only suitable for alchemy.

The journey of self-cultivation is to go against the will of nature. If you don't fight for your luck, how can you take that step to reach the top?

During these more than one hundred and twenty rebirths, Zhang Jingmo's gentle temperament was gradually smoothed away, and he finally became what he is now. The thing about Taoist Wang was not that Zhang Jingmo was ruthless, but that the moment he saw Su Zhi, he had no intention of letting this girl embark on a path to immortality.

If some people don't appear in front of you, you may not remember them, but if you see them, you will never forget them. Zhang Jingmo remembered the name Su Zhi, and he even remembered that Lu Guijiu in the first life almost died because of Su Zhi.

Su Zhilu and Guijiu were really at odds with each other. Just like this time, they also fought with each other when they met in the first life. At that time, Lu Guijiu did not have the support of Zhang Jingmo, and presumably he was also protected by the Wang Taoist. Clean it up in one fell swoop.

Thinking of this, Zhang Jingmo's mood became even worse. He counted with his fingers and remembered a time in his heart.

After returning from the head office, Zhang Jingmo first repaired the roof, then sorted out the things he needed to use. After confirming that there were no mistakes, he started meditating on the spiritual acupoint.

The next day, Lu Guijiu jumped out of bed as soon as he woke up and ran to the place where Zhang Jingmo was meditating. He knew that his master's facial features were sensitive, so he didn't come in and called his master from a distance.

Zhang Jingmo opened his eyes and said slowly: "Come in."

Lu Guijiu hummed, stood on tiptoes and opened the door. He quickly ran to Zhang Jingmo's side and said, "Master, I thought you were gone." Lu Guijiu was extremely depressed the moment he woke up. , because he knew that the master would be leaving for a long journey in the next few days, but he didn't know what day it was, so he was very worried that the master would leave without saying goodbye.

Zhang Jingmo said: "I'm leaving later today." He originally planned to leave directly while Lu Guijiu was resting, but the image of Lu Guijiu crying in his arms appeared in his mind. This hesitation caused him to hesitate. It was getting daylight, so he sighed and simply waited until Lu Guijiu woke up.

Sure enough, the kid Lu Guijiu just woke up and ran over without even changing his clothes. He looked up at Zhang Jingmo, his eyes full of sadness, and said, "Master, how long will you be leaving..."

How long will it take to go? Zhang Jingmo could only guarantee that he would come back within five years, but how should he tell Lu Guijiu? Unlike a cultivator like him who had spent a long time, five years was already too long for Lu Guijiu.

So Zhang Jingmo could only say vaguely: "As soon as possible."

Lu Guijiu pursed his lips and then lowered his head.

Zhang Jingmo touched Lu Guijiu's soft hair, and actually felt a trace of reluctance in his heart. He had been emotionally weak all his life, and rarely got close to other people. Even if he was a close friend, the friendship between gentlemen was as light as water... ...

Lu Guijiu was the first child he approached on his own initiative and raised carefully.

That trace of reluctance disappeared in an instant, and Zhang Jingmo returned to his indifferent expression. He said: "Guijiu, you are not young anymore."
