Chapter 1: Past and Present Lives
A bizarre murder case brought together well-known criminal investigation experts and case-solving experts in the province and was at a loss.
"Let's first learn about the background of the deceased Qin Mubai's resume, living habits and social circle."
The slides begin to show, accompanied by the crisp voice of a policewoman.
"Qin Mubai, male, 29 years old, Han nationality, army lieutenant rank, national archery athlete. His father is a major general of an army group army, and his mother is a professor in the music department of a certain ethnic college. In his early years, under the influence of his father, he entered a national defense university and entered the army, and since he was a child, he loved shooting and had a first-class talent in archery, and later became an archer, and won medals in major competitions many times. The family is superior and unmarried, and there are many rumors that his girlfriend is not fixed. ”
The slideshow shows a long list of different photos of beautiful women, including many well-known stars, models and rich second-generation daughters. There are many photos of men and women, among which the handsome and dashing young man is the deceased Qin Mubai who gave them a headache.
There was a slight discussion below: "It turned out to be a general, a rich second-generation son." ”
"Tell me about his social circle and living habits."
"Qin Mubai often calls himself 'destined peach blossom'. He has a dual identity as a soldier and an athlete, coupled with the influence of his family and a wide range of personal hobbies, so his social circle is relatively large. In addition to some people in the sports and military circles, there is also no shortage of people in the political and artistic circles. In addition, he enjoys gymnastics, piano, calligraphy, classical musical instruments, and beautiful incense cars. It is worth mentioning that he must be proficient in everything he has dabbled in. ”
Speaking of this, the policewoman's face turned slightly red, and she thought of a question with many criminal investigation experts in the audience: This sentence has a language problem, can "beauty" be proficient?
"This guy is a demon...... someone said, and there was a sour taste of jealousy in his words.
"Back to our root causes. This wickedness...... How did this Qin Mubai die? ”
"The cause of death is very strange." "He died in his bedroom. At the time, his model girlfriend, whom he had just met, was taking a bath in the bath. And Qin Mubai was playing the pipa in the bedroom, the music stopped abruptly, and he suddenly died at this moment! ”
"What does the autopsy report say?"
"The deceased was in very good health, without any illness, and the body and the scene were normal, without any signs of fight or murder. On the surface, it looks like ...... When he played the lute, his life suddenly ended! ”
Many criminal investigation experts at the scene furrowed their brows at the same time, some of them exchanged heads and some looked at each other.
"It seems that it may be a mystery case of a high-tech murder, and the murderer's methods are quite mysterious and need to be verified."
"Ahem...... I said, this demon can't be a sudden soul crossing, right? ”
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and neatly twisted their necks to look at the guy who made a discordant sound, and glared neatly: "Be serious!" ”
……
One day in the winter of the tenth year of Zhenguan, in the evening, the yin wind roared.
In the vast Guanzhong Plain, a mountain peak pierces the sky and rises from the ground, facing the Qinling Mountains in the south.
The mountains are undulating, and the peaks are crossed. The name of the mountain is "Kuga".
Qin Mubai, who committed the peach blossom crime, stood on the halfway of Jiuzhi Mountain, looking at the wild and unrestrained wilderness and foggy mountains, his brows were locked, and his face didn't seem to look so good.
Such a magnificent scenery, in the past, he must be in a relaxed and happy mood, and he may chant the sentence in Mr. Jin's novel, "Earthquake * is a beautiful country through the ages." ”
But now, he felt a little cold, swishing and cool.
There are no peach blossoms, but the country is indeed a show for the ages. But if you are also "eternal", it will not be fun.
A day ago, Qin Mubai was an outstanding archer in the 21st century, and had the rank of lieutenant in the army and enjoyed the treatment of an officer. The superior family environment is enviable, and a successful life is just beginning.
But now, he has become a soldier of the Tang Dynasty!
Coincidentally, this soldier in the Tang Dynasty is also named Qin Mubai, who is nineteen years old this year, and he is completely consistent with his appearance and style. The difference is that Mu Bai is his character, and his original name was Qin Liang.
"Past life and present life", this is the only explanation that Qin Mubai can think of.
"Isn't it just to create a little bit of a pre-bed atmosphere and show off my talents? As for getting my 'soul' to the Tang Dynasty and turning it into a tomb guard? …… I don't know who is managing the plane, he must be an idiot who likes to play pranks and lacks creativity. Frowning, Qin Mubai blew the cold wind of the winter in Guanzhong, and tightened the thin military uniform on his body and still shivered a little.
Soul Crossing!
This is simply weird and incomprehensible to Qin Mubai!
And that's not all.
The souls of Qin Mubai in the two worlds seem to be "fused" together. Now in this body, there are memories and skills of two lifetimes.
For example, now the power of this body seems to be superimposed, and it has become infinitely powerful. And just like he can ride a bicycle and swim, he can easily and skillfully use a set of horse combat marksmanship!
For another example, now he also remembers his current life experience - it seems that it is not small!
Qin Liang, whose name is Mubai, the third son of the famous Tang God of War Qin Shubao, learned that set of horse marksmanship from his father Qin Shubao since he was a child!
However, Qin Mubai is the concubine born to the step-concubine, and he has two elder brothers. In the feudal era, when the eldest and youngest were valued, the sons of wealthy families did not even have the right to inherit the family business. Moreover, Qin Mubai didn't seem to be treated well by Qin Shubao and the two eldest brothers, so he was kicked out of his house early and thrown into the army to fend for himself. And with Qin Shubao's prestige and influence in the Tang Dynasty, Qin Mubai didn't even have the title of officer, just an ordinary pawn of the Imperial Forest Army.
As for the reason, Qin Mubai couldn't remember it clearly. It seems that the memories of this life are a bit fragmented in some places.
"No, I'm going to go back in time!" Qin Mubai thought very resolutely, "I just received the notice that I am going to participate in an important archery event soon, and the newly bought Bao Shijie has not yet driven a full 500 kilometers...... What's even worse is that I am bizarre in such a way 'eternal', and my parents are not in a hurry to go crazy? ”
After a cold wind blew halfway up the mountain, Qin Mubai did not hesitate to get into the house, played a pipa, and began to play the pipa song.
Some sacrifices are often held in the imperial tombs, and naturally there are no bad musical instruments. The quxiang pipa was a mainstream musical instrument popular in the Tang Dynasty. Qin Mubai has been nurtured and cultivated by his mother since he was a child, and he has practiced some musical instruments, and his level is not low, which can be regarded as a talent.
Qin Mubai's life seems to have been destined to form an indissoluble bond with "strings". Since childhood, under the cultivation of his mother, he touched more "strings", and later developed a special preference and talent for "bowstrings", and eventually became a professional archer.
"How we came, how we went back. Either way, this world doesn't belong to me. There are still N things to do in the 21st century, and my beautiful life has just begun, how can I nest in this Tang Dynasty and guard a cold tomb for the rest of my life? ”
There are no peach blossoms here, but there are tombs.
Speaking of this cold tomb, it is not ordinary, and even Qin Mubai was moved by it.
In the Tang Dynasty, the king's mausoleum was based on the mountain as the mausoleum, and the wall was the palace. Now in the Yuan Palace of Jiuzhi Mountain, which stands thousands of miles on the wall, lies the famous Empress Changsun, the wife of the current Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty.
Mausoleum name: Zhaoling!
The eldest grandson passed away more than half a year ago, and was buried two months ago. Thus, the tragic life of Qin Mubai in the Tang Dynasty began - from a glorious soldier of the Central Garrison Regiment (a soldier of the Imperial Palace Imperial Forest Army) to an epoch-making tomb keeper.
Speaking of which, in addition to being praised by later generations as a virtuous name, Empress Changsun was a happy woman during her lifetime, and it is not an exaggeration to describe her as "a collection of three thousand favors in her life". After her death, Li Shimin buried her in Jiuzhi Mountain according to the last words of his beloved wife "because the mountain is the mausoleum", and built a house on the plank road outside the Yuan Palace, and ordered the palace people to live in it. Because Emperor Li Shimin had always refused to believe that the thirty-six-year-old Empress Changsun had passed away, he had always accepted the advice of many ministers, and insisted on going his own way and directly sent eunuchs and sergeants of the Imperial Forest Army to serve and protect the Empress in the Zhaoling Yuan Palace.
Send living people, not even the kind of terracotta warriors and horses of Qin Shi Huang!
So far, this is a pioneering feat.
No matter how later generations criticize Li Shimin's romance and lust, at least at this moment, his deep affection for the eldest grandson queen is beyond doubt.
But Qin Mubai didn't care about all this, the only thing he wanted to do now was to play the pipa desperately, hoping to travel back again. They don't care what the people around him think of him or what they say about him.
The sonorous and melodious sound of the pipa resounded in the majestic Zhaoling Mountain. The eunuchs and pawns who were extremely empty in their spiritual life listened to this song quietly, sometimes their blood boiling, and sometimes they were sad and inexplicable.
At the same time, everyone invariably thought of a question: Didn't that Qin Saburo fall off a horse two years ago and be trampled on by a horse's hooves, and his head became a little unfavorable? Why did he lie down with a fever for two days but became smart, and he could still play such a good pipa? ……
A few days later.
Qin Mubai has always been a confident and optimistic person, but at this moment, he feels hopeless and collapsed that he has never felt before.
After playing the pipa for a few days, his fingers were worn out, and he still nested in this room and did not cross back. Moreover, no matter how good the music is, if you listen to it thousands of times, it will make people feel that it is a deadly noise, and finally someone came to him to complain.
It was an unusually tall and sturdy man, at least one meter nine tall, weighing more than one hundred kilograms, with a beard and a charcoal black face, and iron-cast muscles full of explosive power, majestic like a demon god. is very honest and honest, named Yuwen Hongtai, who is Qin Mubai's comrade and best friend in this life of the Tang Dynasty.
"Xiaobai, you haven't been ghosted recently, have you? I see something is wrong with you. When did you learn to play the lute? Yuwen Hongtai asked with a bowl of wine and a blink of eyes like copper bells.
"Don't call me Xiaobai." Qin Mubai also held a bowl of wine in his hand, the court wine used for sacrifice was certainly precious and mellow, but the degree of this undistilled liquor was too low, so he drank it as beer.
"Gollum" bowl of belly, Qin Mubai took a long breath and slowly spit it out, shaking his head: "I really don't know what to say to you." ”
"Huh?" Yuwen Hongtai was stunned and grinned, "Don't say it, drink!" Drink to death and confess! We were transferred here to guard the tomb and don't know when it was a head, maybe we will live here for the rest of our lives, and we still care about what kind of fart! Fortunately, there is nothing here, there is no shortage of good food and drink, fight with them! ”
"Drink!" Qin Mubai was depressed and no one said, so he opened his belly and drank.
In the sixth bowl, Yuwen Hongtai's eyes straightened: "My mother, I'm not wrong, right?" You used to blush in half a bowl and fall to the ground in a bowl, what's wrong with today, really a ghost? ”
"Less nonsense, drink!"
"Tut-tut......" Yuwen Hongtai was a rough man with big nerves, and he didn't dig deeper, shaking his head and saying, "I think back then, the big hero on my ancestor was also like Xiaobai, you can drink ......"
"Call me Xiaobai to be anxious with you again."
"Oh, old white...... I think back then, the big hero on my ancestor was also like Lao Bai, you can drink ......"
Qin Mubai shook his head with a wry smile. He'd heard that more than 100 times in the past few days. According to Yuwen Hongtai's own boasting, he is a descendant of Yuwen's side branches, one of the "Eight Pillars of Guanlong Nobles", but unfortunately his family has fallen into the middle of the road, and he has been reduced to his own generation and can only be a small soldier of the Praetorian Guard.
The Imperial Forest Guards of the Tang Palace are not for everyone, and they are generally served by the children of the Shi clan. Qin Mubai's father is Qin Shubao, needless to say, the fact that Yuwen Hongtai was born as a descendant of the Guanlong nobility is very likely to be true.
