Chapter 112 Faith
When Bai Jin came here today, it was as if he had stepped into a foggy, mysterious and fantastical world.
Only half a day had passed, but it felt like a long, thrilling and eventful journey.
His mood was like the turbulent sea, which was repeatedly stirred up by Shen Li, a girl who was still young but as deep as an unfathomable pool. He fell into a state of near aphasia, as if his throat was tightly strangled by an invisible rope, and it was difficult for him to utter clear words for a while.
He never expected that this girl who seemed ordinary when he first met her, no different from thousands of other girls in the world, would inadvertently reveal her extraordinary abilities like bamboo shoots emerging from the ground after spring rain.
Every manifestation was like dropping a huge rock with thunderous force into the originally calm and undisturbed lake of his cognition. In an instant, water splashed, ripples spread, and huge waves surged, mercilessly impacting the solid worldview he had constructed over decades.
At this moment, his thoughts involuntarily drifted back to the palace, and the words the emperor had once said to him seemed to echo in his ears.
At that time, he thought that it might just be an unfounded speculation caused by the emperor's excessive worry, like a rumor without any basis, and could not be trusted.
But now, after personally experiencing all these miraculous things that seemed like dreams but actually happened before his eyes, he finally believed that what the emperor said was true - Shen Li must be hiding a secret, and it was not an ordinary trivial matter, but a huge secret that was as far away and unfathomable as the stars in the sky!
This secret is like a huge, mysterious and bottomless vortex. Its endless mysterious charm makes people curious and irresistible like a moth to a flame. At the same time, the unknown power it contains and the storms it may cause make people feel awe, as if an ant facing a towering mountain, small and terrified.
Bai Jin knew very well that this matter was like a heavy burden, which was related to the rise and fall of the country, the honor and disgrace, and the well-being and safety of the people, so he must not act rashly.
He needs to think carefully in this complicated situation, like peeling off threads from an onion, weigh the pros and cons, consider every word, and consider every possibility, so that he can determine the most appropriate way to report everything that happened here to the emperor.
She must not let these bizarre things that are beyond ordinary people's comprehension arouse the emperor's groundless suspicion, causing Shen Li to fall into a dangerous desperate situation. At the same time, she must cleverly use the emperor's supreme authority and huge power to protect Shen Li like weaving a fine spider web.
We must ensure that she can stay safe and sound in this ever-changing and turbulent world, like a delicate flower in a greenhouse, protected from the invasion of wind and rain.
After all, if such a rare talent with extraordinary intelligence, sharp wit and wonderful abilities encounters an unexpected disaster due to his own momentary negligence, it will surely become a regret that he will never be able to let go of in his life, following him like a shadow and excruciatingly painful.
Bai Jin was silent for a while, and the solemn atmosphere seemed to be able to condense the air into frost.
After a long while, he slowly spoke, "Ah Li, the movable type printing you mentioned today is like a brilliant star piercing the darkness, opening up a brand new and prosperous avenue for the inheritance and dissemination of culture. And the magical method of printing rain talismans is like a gentle rain that brings peace to the world, relieving the people from danger. These are all great undertakings that will benefit the country and the people for generations to come.
I will certainly be very cautious and prudent, and will carefully consider and report these circumstances to the emperor. I just wonder if you have any requests or wishes in this regard.
His eyes were gentle, like the warm spring sun, and also carried a hint of inquiry, as if he wanted to penetrate Shen Li's eyes and see through her true thoughts deep in her heart.
He looked at Shen Li quietly, his eyes full of patience and expectation, like a gardener waiting for flowers to bloom, silently waiting for her answer.
After hearing this, Shen Li tilted her head slightly, looking so playful and cute, like a lively little deer.
She blinked her eyes, which were as bright as the twinkling stars in the night sky, and thought seriously for a long time.
In that brief silence, time seemed to stand still, and only the light in her eyes flickered like a candle flame.
Then, a calm and sincere smile appeared on her face. That smile was like a gentle breeze, blowing across the quiet lake, creating ripples.
She said softly, "My biggest wish is for my family to be healthy and safe. Nothing is more important than this. As long as my family is well, I feel that everything is perfect."
Her voice was soft and gentle, yet firm and powerful, as if her family was all her faith and support in this world, and the lighthouse in her heart that never went out.
When Bai Jin heard this, his heart was filled with uncontrollable waves, just like a calm lake being struck by a sudden rainstorm, causing ripples to appear.
He originally thought that Shen Li might make some requests for fame, wealth and power in the face of this rare opportunity, such as promotion, reward of fiefdom, or some rare and priceless treasures to show off his extraordinaryness and achievements.
But I didn't expect that her wish was so simple and pure, without any utilitarianism or vanity, just like a clear spring, crystal clear and without any impurities.
In this complicated and materialistic world, such a simple wish is like the brightest star in the night sky, brilliant and warm, shining straight into his heart and dispelling the remaining doubts and haze in his heart.
Shen Xuan, who had been listening quietly beside him, was also thinking to himself.
His young mind was like a flawless unpolished jade. Under the impact of this series of amazing events, he gradually gained new insights and understandings.
After listening for a long time, he felt more and more that his sister was as powerful as the legendary gods.
She can use magical talismans to bring rain. The talismans seem to contain the mysterious power of heaven and earth, and in her sister's hands they become a magical tool to save the world.
She also keeps a fairy pet that can speak, which is smart and clever, just like an elf from fairyland;
Now that we know this wonderful method of printing, movable type printing is like a mysterious magic that can infinitely amplify the power of words.
In his little world, his sister seems to be omnipotent!
He looked at Shen Li with eyes full of admiration and pride, a look that was fiery and pure, like a burning flame. He secretly vowed that he must grow up quickly, like a bamboo shoot breaking through the ground, quickly growing into a towering tree, becoming as powerful as his sister, so that he could help his sister protect this family.
His little fists were clenched tightly, as if he had already grasped the power and hope for the future.
