Chapter 3 Reliving a Life
"People say that rejuvenation is the supreme realm of Taoism, but I didn't expect that I, a mortal, could enjoy the taste of rejuvenation today. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Wu Ming is not an ordinary person after all, he once incarnated as Zhuang Wudao to hold the authority of a country, and his heart is far stronger than many great monks, otherwise he would not have dominated the sect as a mortal in his thirties. Although the reversal of time was bizarre, he sat quietly on the bed for a while, and he calmed down his restless mood, and the questions in his mind turned into an emotional smile.
With his mind, although he didn't know the specific reason for the reversal of time, he roughly guessed that the root cause of this incident was related to the strange space he had experienced before.
"Looking at it now, I didn't kill my soul because I was saved by Ye Feng, but the remnants of my soul floated into the strange space before, and I don't know what chance I had to return to my former self. In that space, there are strange black shadows standing in the sky, and there is an army of black-clothed monks covering the sky under black pressure, it is estimated that it is not the legendary fairy world, but also the place where the gods live. ”
Wu Ming's world generally believes in Taoism. Taoism preaches the fairy world and believes in the gods, and believes that the fairy world, where the gods live, is the center and origin of the world. The characters in that space were so terrifying that in Wu Ming's understanding, only the immortal realm mentioned by Taoism could correspond to them.
After confirming the general reason for the reversal of time, Wu Ming no longer thought about the matter of that space. After all, the fairy world is too far away from him as a mortal, and instead of thinking about that, it is better to think about how he should survive now.
I don't know how many years it has been since it was founded, and how old I am now?
Wu Ming thought silently in his heart.
The day the Wu family was destroyed by the imperial court was the founding calendar of the Nine Heavens Continent in five thousand and thirty-eight years, and he was sixteen years old that year.
Looking at his physical appearance, he should be about thirteen or fourteen years old now, and he will find a servant to ask him about the specific situation, but there should not be much deviation. In other words, it should be two to three years before the Wu family is destroyed.
What can you do in two to three years?
Wu Ming sighed, no matter how skillful he was in his strategy and methods, just giving him this little time, it would be impossible to change the fate of the Wu family back then.
You must know that when he went out of the mountain to assist King Jing, the third prince of Chu State, it would take three years to defeat the then prince of Chu State and win the throne. This is considered fast, otherwise others would not praise him as the first national soldier of Chudi.
Although the battle for the heir is extremely arduous, after all, it is only a matter of strength, and King Jing's momentum is not much worse than that of the prince, otherwise he is not qualified to compete for the seat of the East Palace. Wu Ming was able to quickly assist him in ascending to the throne, and a large part of it relied on King Jing's original court strength, coupled with his tricks, which was very different from the difficulty of preventing the Wu family from destroying the door. At this time, Wu Ming was only thirteen or fourteen years old, not to mention his young age, he had no power to back, and he was just a talkable concubine in the family, and in order to avoid persecution, he had to pretend to be a clumsy second ancestor, which could be said to have no foundation.
With such a state of only giving him two years to develop, it is simply impossible for him to stop the Holy Decree of the Southern Heaven Dynasty, which is one of the most powerful in the Nine Heavens Continent.
The Southern Heavenly Dynasty and the Nine Nations Alliance have fought for nearly a hundred years, and the national strength is still not half weakened, compared with the pure national strength, a Southern Heavenly Dynasty is equivalent to the sum of the nine Chu States!
Unless you get that thing now, there's still half a hope......
Thinking of "that thing", he suddenly couldn't sit still and stood up with a slap on his thigh.
It should still be in the cave in the suburbs, and I should be able to get it back before late at night by calling a carriage to make a trip now.
Thinking of the effect of "that thing", his heart immediately "thumped", and the whole person could no longer be calm. Originally, with his calm personality in the past, when he encountered the current situation, he should be calm, stay in the room for a few more days, and think about all the things to pay attention to in the future before making plans. But now he was afraid that something would happen in this life, and if that thing was taken away by others first, then he would have no chance to come out.
"Someone, prepare the carriage."
He shouted, learning the tone of his entourage when he was a child when he was about to go out to play, and pushed open the door and was about to step out, when an old servant with gray temples who was guarding the door stopped him.
"Young Master Ming, you are injured, so don't go out." The old servant said solemnly.
This person is an old servant sent by the government to take care of him, surnamed Liu Cangshan, and is called "Liu Lao" by people on weekdays. Old Liu was not tall, thin and thin, wearing cheap linen clothes, and at first glance he looked like an ordinary little old man. But Wu Ming knows his details, this person is a cronie sent by Mrs. Luo, his cultivation is extremely profound, and he is a real monk, in the battle of the Wu family, Liu Lao dragged the three worship monks in the palace, and protected several ladies in the house to escape, although he died in battle after exhaustion, but he is also an admirable figure.
Wu Ming, who was young, hated this old man very much, because Liu Cangshan was sent by Madame Luo to spy on him. However, at this time, Wu Ming's memory of the Wu Mansion had been destroyed for sixteen years, and now at first sight, whether he was a spy sent by Mrs. Luo, Wu Ming felt very kind to him in his heart.
"Let Liu Lao worry, only a small injury is not in the way, I will come back when I go out for a walk."
Wu Ming explained with a smile to him, his tone extremely sincere and cordial.
A look of surprise flashed in Liu Lao's cloudy eyes, in the past, Wu Ming's attitude towards him was to ignore him, without any respect, and when they met, they called "Lao Shatou" in the local dialect. Unexpectedly, today, the young master suddenly changed like a person, and he actually spoke to him so earnestly, which made him feel slightly distracted.
"Then the young master has to come back early, don't forget that the young master will return to the house tonight and point out the young master's lecture."
Liu Lao didn't doubt him, let alone think of going against the flow of time, he was only more mature and sensible as a young master, and a trace of warmth appeared in his heart.
Wu Ming paused, and after listening to Liu Lao's words, he recalled some of the past.
It turns out that I have returned to this point in time!
The dusty memories in his brain gradually woke up, and some of the little things in the sesame rotten valley were vividly remembered, Wu Ming touched his head, and said in his heart, I said why does my head hurt so much. At first, he thought that the headache was caused by the reverse flow of time, but now he remembers that sixteen years ago, he was jealous of a young man outside and broke his head, so he stayed at home to recuperate for half a month.
It's normal to be jealous, when he was young, Wu Ming played the second ancestor to show Mrs. Luo in the house, and he roamed the streets with a group of wine and meat friends on weekdays, proficient in eating, drinking and having fun, and it was common for the top brands of the major Qinglou to quarrel. No matter how low his status in the palace is, he is also a descendant of the princes, so naturally no one dares to stop him when he makes trouble.
But this injury was not so simple in Wu Ming's memory.
The cause of the incident began half a month ago, when he was forced to leave the palace and go to the Taoist sect to practice.
Due to the extreme prosperity of Taoism in the land of the Nine Heavens, Taoist gods are worshiped by all countries, so there is a tradition in the world that you must go to the sect to practice for a period of time before you become an adult. The common people are just fine, and the children of wealthy families who have the conditions will basically take a few months out of their adult years to worship the famous Taoist temples or Taoist sects, and become Taoist priests for a period of time to wash away the dust on their bodies.
The age of the weak crown stipulated by the Southern Heaven Dynasty was fourteen years old, that is to say, generally the children of the family had to go to the Tao for a period of time at the age of thirteen, and even if Wu Ming was too weak to practice since he was a child, he could not avoid this tradition.
In the past, Wu Ming only thought about getting a famous career, where was he willing to waste time to practice in Taoism. But the atmosphere of the family and the country is like this, and not being a Taoist priest will even have an impact on the future career promotion. In desperation, Wu Ming had no choice but to choose a Taoist sect called "Huayi Sword Sect" in Qingcheng Mountain, which is the closest to King Wu's mansion in the suburbs of Kyoto, and planned to practice symbolically in this sect for three months in order to communicate with his family.
As a result, half a month ago, on the first day of rushing to the Huayi Sword Sect, he was beaten by a son-in-law named Mei Sheng and his servant Fat in the sect, and his head was oozing blood.
As for the reason why he was beaten, it was still ridiculous, then Mei Sheng decided that he had a bad plot against a senior sister in the sect who led him the way, so he came up to teach him a lesson as a hero saving beauty.
"Say I'm bad to that senior sister? This is really wronged, I didn't even hold her little hand, but I chatted enthusiastically along the way, and my skin never touched, so I buttoned this blasphemous hat, which is really a good calculation. ”
Wu Ming sorted out the causes and consequences of this incident in his heart, and knew that he had been calculated in his previous life, but now that he was living a new life, his mind was as mature as a middle-aged man in his thirties and forties, so he naturally would not take this little thing to heart.
When he left the house, two servants had already prepared a carriage for him. Wu Ming secretly looked at the two servants for a long time, he only remembered that one of these two people was surnamed Li and the other was surnamed Wang, and the specific names were not very clear. But for him after experiencing the destruction of the Wu Mansion, no matter who is in the mansion, it will now give him a sense of intimacy that he wants to remember in his heart.
"You two, give me your names." After getting into the car, he instructed the two.
"Little Li Xun."
"Wang Siguo."
The two servants glanced at each other and gave their names.
Wu Ming kept the names of the two in his heart, then sat in the sedan car and said loudly: "Go to the 'Pinxian Building'." ”
Pinsenlou is the most famous green building in Kyoto, known as "the beauty of the mountains and the sea, the flower arrangement moon night is drunk at this time", and enjoys a good reputation in the aristocratic circle of the capital. Wu Ming pretends to be a gentleman on weekdays, and it is indispensable to enter these occasions, and the two servants are even more familiar with the road, and they will send him to Pinxian downstairs in less than half an hour.
