"Teacher, father."
Jian Shiyi tried calling several times in succession, but he actually made a sound. Although it was intermittent, he did say something.
When Zhou Chen left more than a year ago, she said she wanted to be called Master when she came back, so she has been working hard for more than a year.
She didn't just speak out today, but she was able to speak out several times in a row today. This was the first time since she became aphasic.
While she was practicing her voice, the voice of maid Cheng Xi suddenly sounded from downstairs.
"Girl, His Highness is back."
When Shiyi heard this, his expression changed instantly. He dropped the letter in his hand, picked up the hem of his skirt, and ran downstairs. When he was going down the stairs, he didn't pay attention and almost fell, which scared Cheng Xi.
He jumped greatly and rushed forward to help Yu Shiyi in panic.
But Shiyi didn't feel any pain at all, waved his hand to Cheng Xi, and then ran out of the library again and headed straight to the front yard.
After running out of the courtyard and asking the guards, she found out that Zhou Chen had just entered the palace and was in the front hall, so she hurried to the front hall again.
When she ran to the front hall, she saw her master and a group of senior brothers and sisters staying in the hall. She slowed down, took a breath, calmed her rapidly beating heart, and walked into the hall with a happy face.
The arrival of Jian Shiyi naturally attracted the attention of everyone in the hall, and the senior sisters and brothers with whom he was close also showed doting expressions.
"Little junior sister, you have grown a lot taller."
When Hong Xiaoyu saw Yu Shiyi, he couldn't help but said happily.
Ji Shiyi saluted everyone very politely, smiled at Hong Xiaoyu and other senior sisters and brothers, and then looked at Zhou Chen with burning eyes.
Seeing that Zhou Chen was safe and sound and as graceful as before he left, her hanging heart was completely relieved.
"Teacher. Teacher."
She tried hard to call out the word "master", but she didn't know whether it was because she was too anxious or she hadn't recovered yet, but she couldn't say the word "master" in succession.
Zhou Chen saw Shi Yi anxious to speak, knowing that she must still remember what he said when she left, so he smiled gently.
"Eleven, it doesn't matter if you can't say it. We are not in a hurry. We will take our time."
Jian Shiyi was very depressed and angry with himself. He felt that he was so useless. He finally saw his master, but he still couldn't scream.
Everyone saw Miao Shiyi's anxiety and spoke to comfort him. Senior sister Hong Xiaoyu even said with a smile: "Little junior sister, when you come back this time, master has specially brought you a gift."
Hearing that there was a gift, Yu Shiyi immediately looked at Zhou Chen curiously, his eyes full of questions.
Zhou Chen said with a smile: "This year, we couldn't come back to celebrate your birthday with you, so we specially chose a birthday gift for you. Let's go and take you to see it."
As soon as he moved, everyone else immediately followed him, and Shiyi followed Zhou Chen closely, closer than the others, for fear that Zhou Chen would suddenly leave again.
He led everyone to the stable behind the palace. This is where the palace raises horses. There are dozens of horses.
After walking to one of the places and standing there, Zhou Chen pointed at a white horse that was kept alone in a horse pen.
"Eleven, it's this little white horse. Do you like it?"
Yan Shiyi's eyes widened when he saw the white horse in front of him.
'What a beautiful pony.'
Hong Xiaoyu talked about the origin of this little white horse: "Junior sister, this little white horse was discovered by Master when it was still a foal. Master said that you must like this little white horse very much, so we have been raising it just for you.
I will come back and give it to you. Although this horse is not yet mature, you should have no problem riding it."
Yan Shiyi really liked this little white horse, especially because it was specially prepared for her by her master.
'Thank you Master, I like it very much.'
Zhou Chen said softly: "Its name is Bailong."
Yan Shiyi's eyes lit up and he gestured to Zhou Chen: 'Is it the white dragon horse in Journey to the West?'
Zhou Chen responded with a smile: "Yes, it's the white dragon horse in Journey to the West. Have you finished reading Journey to the West?"
"Uh-huh."
Jian Shiyi nodded repeatedly. Journey to the West was a birthday gift from her master. She read it carefully from beginning to end, and is now reading it for the second time.
"When I have time, I will teach you how to ride a horse."
Shiyi readily agreed. In the past, she had always ridden in a carriage and had never ridden a horse by herself. The most important thing was that Zhou Chen taught her, which was what made her happiest.
For more than a year, what she missed most was the time when Zhou Chen taught her in the palace. Now that Zhou Chen is back, she can resume such happy days again.
Zhou Chen rested during the two days he came back. He had been out for more than a year, and although he was not fighting all the time, he was still very nervous. He needed to make some adjustments after he came back.
In the past two days, Shi Yi came to see Zhou Chen every day, but he didn't bother him too much. He just gave him some food and drink and showed his concern.
The rest of the time she spent running to the horse pen to see the little white dragon horse that Zhou Chen gave her. The more she looked at it, the more she fell in love with it.
On the third day after returning, Zhou Chen began to teach Shi Yi how to ride. Because Bai Long had been trained by Zhou Chen to be very docile, after a few days, Shi Yi dared to ride a horse by himself, but only at a slow pace and did not dare to ride.
Ride fast and run.
In the study room, Zhou Chen took the tea cup handed by Shi Yi and took a sip.
"After reading Journey to the West, what do you think?"
'It looks good, Shi Yi likes it very much.'
"Then which character in Journey to the West is your favorite?"
Ji Shiyi thought for a while and gave the answer.
‘The Great Sage Equaling Heaven.’
"Sun Wukong."
Jian Shiyi waved his hand: 'No, it's the Monkey King, not the Monkey King behind him.'
Zhou Chen suddenly became interested: "Sun Wukong before learning the scriptures, why?"
Shiyi looked thoughtful. She liked the Monkey King because of his courage and rebelliousness, as well as the monkey head that broke worldly rules and never backed down.
As for the Sun Wukong who later learned the scriptures and the Sun Wukong who became a Buddha, although they were also very good, she felt that the Sun Wukong before he learned the scriptures was more attractive to her.
Because she felt that Sun Wukong, who was learning Buddhist scriptures, no longer had the arrogance of the past, as if he had been tamed, and looked very similar to her, so she didn't like it very much.
But she couldn't tell Zhou Chen this, so she smiled and said she just liked it.
Even if she didn't say it, Zhou Chen could understand what she was thinking.
Many people who have watched Journey to the West will like the Monkey King in the early stage, because they can see what they desire in Monkey King, while the Monkey King in the later part is more like a compromise, a kind of reality.
The compromise of defeat is the same as that of the general public.
Zhou Tianxing suddenly walked into the study.
"Master, the third junior brother and the fourth junior sister are back. They have something to report to you. They are currently in the military camp outside the city."
Zhou Chen said: "I understand. Get ready. We are going to the military camp now. On the eleventh day, do you want to go with us?"
Nao Shiyi nodded immediately.
"Okay, then you come with us, let's go."
The group soon arrived at the military camp. Xie Yun and Feng Qiao saw Shi Yi and chatted happily, then reported the situation to Zhou Chen.
"Master, when we came back from the west, we met a group of monks who came from Zhongli."
As soon as Zhou Chen heard this, he knew that the plot was happening normally, and Xiao Yan, the second prince of Nan Xiao, had already arrived.
Having read the original work, he still has a good impression of the second prince of Nan Xiao, because in the plot he has been standing by Zhou Shengchen since he met Zhou Shengchen. In the end, Zhou Shengchen's bones can be recovered.
It's all due to him.
This second prince of Nan Xiao is definitely a helper who values ​​love and justice and is worthy of close friendship.
Xie Yun and Feng Qiao told Zhou Chen the whole story, and Zhou Chen told him to go to Jialan Temple, so a group of people went to Jialan Temple.
Jialan Temple is located in Xizhou City, so they arrived at their destination quickly. Zhou Chen asked the rest of the soldiers to wait outside the temple. He took Shi Yi, Xie Yun and Feng Qiao into the temple.
Before going in, he glanced at Shi Yi. He originally thought that Shi Yi could speak earlier, but he didn't expect that it would still be postponed until today. It seems that today he will still transform into the Shadow Emperor.
Zhou Chen's identity was there. As soon as he entered the temple, the abbot of Jialan Temple came to see him with the abbot who had escaped from Nanxiao. Zhou Chen also talked to them politely.
He doesn't have a great fondness for Buddhism, but he doesn't have any bad feelings either.
It is undeniable that in many film and television novels, Buddhism is often portrayed as the villain, and there are indeed many monks who behave badly.
