Chapter 1: The Girl Possessed by the Pen Fairy
Walking up the vermilion staircase to the second floor, I just opened the door and saw the same scene every day. Si Yin, who was sitting on a beige rattan chair, was drinking the freshly soaked West Lake Longjing while reading the morning newspaper of the day. The long black hair fell like a waterfall, glowing with a faint sheen. The pale golden sunlight traced the perfect lines along his thick eyelashes, straight nose, and thin lips. Hearing the sound of me pushing the door, he slowly raised his head. Si Yin had a pair of very beautiful eyes, or a little bewitching, one eye was as silver as moonlight, and the other was a violet-like light purple, he looked at me with those heterochromatic eyes, and nodded slightly.
Because of these eyes and his constant countenance, I've wondered countless times if he's human.
"Master, hasn't my brother come back yet? I think he's having a great time in Babylon, right? "I didn't dare call him by his name in front of him.
He took a sip of tea and said, "Asuka is a very measured person. He put down the teacup and said, "By the way, starting today, you are going to start completing the tasks that have been entrusted to you, are you ready?" ”
"Of course! Master, I'm excited, but ......" I looked around, "Why haven't you seen the client?" ”
An elusive look flashed on his face and said, "Didn't you say it, not everyone can come to entrust it, and those who come here to entrust it are destined people." ”
By the way, Si Yin said that as long as people who are entangled in their past and present lives will dream of this place, many people will not remember when they wake up, and many people will not believe it at all, laughing at it, only people who are really destined will find this place. And for the vast majority of people, it's just a teahouse, a very ordinary teahouse.
"Knock, knock" There was a knock on the door, and I looked uplifted, and immediately said loudly: "Come in!" The door was slowly pushed open, and a timid voice sounded: "Excuse me, excuse me, can you really entrust here?" ”
I followed the prestige, and a girl in white about my age was standing by the door, her delicate face full of disbelief.
"Are You Dreaming......"
"Yes, yes, I had such a dream, so ......" she looked a little excited, and quickly interrupted me.
"So, what are you going to entrust?" Si Yin said coldly behind me. The girl glanced at Si Yin, obviously surprised, this reaction is normal, what women have such a reaction when they see a super handsome guy like Si Yin, and some are even more exaggerated.
"Can it really be commissioned?" She still couldn't believe it.
"Of course."
"Really...... It's just wonderful. She looked so excited that she burst into tears, "Aren't I dreaming too?" I couldn't help but smile and shake my head, a lot of clients come like this.
Her emotions slowly calmed down, she took a deep breath, and began to speak:
"My name is Liu Yan, and I started playing a very popular game with my classmates four months ago---- please pen fairy. It was crazy at the time, so every day please, every day to talk to Yi---- oh, Yi is his name. Later, 100 million did not go back, it has been attached to my body, he said that it was my lover in my previous life, and he would enter my dream every night, he said that we encountered three love disasters, and each time it ended in tragedy, so this time he finally met me, he wanted to follow me all the time, and he said that he wanted to take me back ----. Her expression was complicated, with a hint of panic.
It turned out to be a pen fairy.,I heard that such a game is quite popular among college girls.。 Please pen fairy or dish fairy is derived from one of the oldest witchcraft in China, "Fu Ping", also known as Lingzi art. The so-called pen fairy, that is, the spirit, is a bardo body, after death into the bardo world into the bardo body, the bardo body is the life without reincarnation after death, he does not have a fixed shape of the body, but due to the inertia of thinking, the body that comes out of his own mind will have the appearance characteristics of the previous life, most of these spirits are relatively weak, so it is not a big problem to occasionally invite out, but there are two "demon times" in a day, one is the sun has just set, and the other is between twelve o'clock and two o'clock in the middle of the night, the previous one is the "time of the devil" in the wildand the latter is the "time of the devil" in the room. Inviting immortals during these two periods makes it easier to provoke evil spirits with strong spiritual power.
"The pen fairy is not a high-level spirit, so I'll take him for you." I said with a little disdain that the first client's task was too simple to travel through time at all. Soul collection is one of the most basic spells of spiritism. Both low-level and medium-level spirits are very easy to deal with, and the current pen immortals, chopstick immortals, and mirror immortals all belong to this category.
"Don't!" Her face changed, and she hurriedly stopped.
"And let him take you back?" I said with a smile. "You know, he can only take your spirit back, not your body, and you are dead, understand?"
"Don't ......" she shook her head and said softly, "Can you not hurt him, and don't let him take me back, he is really good to me, if there is anything bad, he will always tell me in advance, always be by my side to protect me, so I don't want to hurt him...... I want to entrust you to my past life......"
"Understood, let's go to your past life to find out why you and him are the root cause of the tragedy three times, change the root cause, and the result will naturally change, then there will be no problem." Si Yin said lightly.
"Oh my God! Really, really time-traveled? Liu Yan still had an incredible expression.
"Come here." Si Yin beckoned, and when Liu Yan walked to him, he stretched out his right index finger against her eyebrows, closed his eyes, and recited a mantra in his mouth, a ball of white light gradually condensed between Liu Yan's eyebrows, and a word was faintly reflected: Liao; The Liao character faded, and another word emerged: Han; The Chinese characters faded, and one word appeared clearly: Qin. Looking at the scene in front of me, I couldn't help but be a little surprised, usually the dynasty where the roots are revealed. How there are three today. Oh my God, don't you let me go to all three dynasties.
When the handwriting faded, Si Yin withdrew his hand and said in a low voice: "Sure enough, it is the third world love tribulation." He paused and said, "I want your pen fairy to show up, and I have something to ask him." As he spoke, he took out a charm, recited the spell silently, caught the charm between his index and middle fingers, and threw it on the ground, and a puff of white smoke rose.
"Master? What about the spirit? Where is it? I saw that there was nothing ahead of me and hurriedly asked.
"Right next to you." He said lightly.
I turned my head to the left, and a tall figure appeared, causing me to take a few steps backwards. Although I am not afraid of spirits, but when he suddenly appears beside me in such a way, it will naturally startle me, and people will be frightened and scared to death.
When I settled down, I vaguely saw the man next to me. He is about twenty years old, handsome, heroic, just wearing a strange clothes, thanks to the TV series, I know that this is the clothing of ethnic minorities at a glance, could it be that this man is the Liao era?
"You, you are really exactly the same as in your dream......" Liu Yan muttered, with a shocked expression,
"You heard what we said just now, what do you want to say, Yelu Abaoji."
Si Yin's words surprised me and Liu Yan, Yelu Abaoji, could it be the founder of the Khitan Dynasty in history, the famous Liao Taizu Abaoji? I didn't expect such a big name to come. I was shocked and looked at him a few more times.
Liu Yan's face was even pale, and he said, "You, didn't you tell me that your name is Yiyi?" It turns out that you are such a famous character......"
Abaoji did not deny it, he looked at Liu Yan firmly, his eyes flowed, as if he had a thousand words. And Liu Yan looked at him in surprise, and the expression on his face kept changing.
"That's my Chinese name. What's more, what does it matter what my name is, I am always me. He said in a deep voice, turned to Si Yin and said, "Sure enough, he is a master, so I will get straight to the point and tell me the story of her and me."
"The tragedy between me and Ah Yan began more than 2,000 years ago. At that time, she was the daughter of Taibu of Qin, called Mingyan, and I was Li Xin, the general of Qin, and I fell in love with her since I was a child, and I also had a private lifelong between, and we must be married in the future and never separate. In the eyes of everyone, we have long been a couple, just waiting for the right time to announce it. It was at this time that I was ordered to go on the expedition, and before the expedition I went to her house to propose marriage, and after receiving the promise I embarked on the journey with great excitement, and the desire to return to her as soon as possible made me highly motivated, and soon I returned with a triumphant army. ”
At this, he paused, as if recalling the painful events. I thought I would see her smiling flowers when I went back, but who knew that what I saw ---- saw was her grave. I was like crazy, grabbing them and asking why, how could she die? When I found out the reason, I was even more saddened, it turned out that my brother had always loved her while I was away...... After insulting her, her parents forced her to marry my brother for fear of the scandal of the family, and on the day of her marriage, she committed suicide. In a fit of rage, I killed my brother, and when I was devastated, I killed myself at her grave. ”
I glanced at Liu Yan, her eyes were red and there were faint tears.
"In the second life, I was reincarnated as the Han Dynasty general Huo Quai, and she was Li Guang's youngest daughter. I had affection for her, but I didn't cherish the opportunity to meet again. At that time, I was young and vigorous, saying "The Huns have not been destroyed, why should I be at home", I only thought about making meritorious contributions, and I also shot her favorite brother Li Kang with my own hands. From then on, the love was gone, and she hurriedly married with hatred for me, while I continued to fight on the battlefield, and soon died suddenly of illness. As a result, I still didn't catch her that time. ”
I couldn't help but look at him again, and this man was also reincarnated with celebrities.
"In the third life, it is also ridiculous, I was still expelling the Xiongnu in my previous life, but in the third life, I became the Liao emperor of the Khitan tribe, and she was also reincarnated as Han Yan, the daughter of Han Yanhui, the Han man I appointed. I fell in love with her at first sight, and accepted her as a concubine despite the opposition of the courtiers, but God always joked with me, and the day before she entered the palace, the news came that their whole family had been killed by robbers. How can there be such a coincidence? Although I suspected that it was done by Empress Shu Luping, I was suffering from no evidence, so I passed by her again. ”
"Don't you have a memory of your past life in every life?" I looked at him puzzled.
He shook his head and said, "Only the moment I die, will the memories of previous lives appear. And after each reincarnation, I would forget all my memories, so I decided that I would never be reincarnated again, and I would always wait there for Ah Yan's call to bring her back. ”
"Wait? So what if she hadn't invited the pen fairy? I asked curiously.
He smiled bitterly, "So, I've been waiting for more than a thousand years. ”
"What, so if she hasn't summoned you, you're going to keep waiting?" I was a little surprised.
"Yes, wait until she appears, a thousand years, two thousand years, three thousand years, wait." He said in a firm tone. I was stunned and a little moved at the same time, and turned my head to look at Liu Yan, she was already in tears.
"Billion......" Liu Yan called in a low voice, raised his head and looked at Abaoji with tears in his eyes.
Apo looked at her with a smile, and the two stared deeply at each other. At this time, Liu Yan's mood must be chaotic.
"Then, the commission is established." Si Yin's cold voice broke the atmosphere.
"Hmm." Liu Yan nodded.
"Don't worry, I will definitely find out the root cause and resolve your three-life love calamity, definitely."
When I said this, my nose was sour, and my heart was a little sullen, I don't know if it was for the sad love of their three lives, or for Abaoji's hopeless waiting. I want a man to wait for me for a thousand years, whether he is a human or a ghost or a demon, I ...... I'm married!
Si Yin suddenly stood up and threw a spell at Abaoji, and after the white smoke passed, Abaoji disappeared, "Liu Yan, Abaoji will stay here for the time being, you go first, and I will inform you then." ”
Liu Yan seemed to have tears hanging from the corners of his eyes, nodded slightly, turned around and walked out the door. After a few steps, he stopped, turned to look at me, and said, "Please help us." ”
I nodded and watched her step out of the room, the moment she stepped out, her memories in this room were also erased at the same time, only when my mission was completed, Si Yin's dream would summon her back again, and after she gave a tear, everything about this teahouse in her past and present lives would disappear forever in her memory.
"Master, where should I go?" I couldn't wait to ask.
Si Yin looked at me and said, "What do you say?" ”
I thought for a while and said, "It should be the Qin State of the Warring States Period, this is their first life." If he can stop his brother's atrocities, then Liu Yan will be able to marry Abaoji smoothly, and the love catastrophe in the first life will be resolved, and the future will also be changed. ”
"Well, there's progress." There seemed to be a faint smile on Si Yin's face, "The exact time of your arrival should be the eighth year of the reign of King Qin, Shangdang County originally belonged to the six cities of Zhao State and returned to Zhao, and Li Xin was ordered to lead his troops to conquer the first month. ”
A question popped into my mind and said, "That's pretty much all you have to do for two months." "It doesn't seem difficult, I'll be back soon, and a month in another time and space is equivalent to a day in the real world, which means I can be back in two days.
Si Yin nodded and said, "Yes, this mission should not be difficult to complete." He paused and said, "Where's your charm?" ”
I touched the inside pocket of my shirt and smiled, "Take it all with you." ”
"Try not to use spells in front of people unless you have to."
"Don't worry, Master, even if I don't use spells, I'll complete the task quickly. Just get ready for me to go. "I can't wait for me to start my promising job right away.
Si Yin walked over, took out a string of crystal bracelets from his arms, and put them in my hands, there are a total of eight crystals, which are red, purple, white, green, yellow, gold and other different colors, each crystal clear, faintly shiny. Si Yin said with a solemn face: "These eight crystals represent water, wood, fire, metal, earth, wind, darkness, and fierceness. Don't lose it, I won't be able to call you back if you don't have one. ”
I nodded, I have also seen the same crystal bracelet in my brother's hand, ordinary crystals are used to create enchantments, to prevent the harassment of the spirit world, and the string of crystals that Si Yin gave us also has the spiritual power to travel through time and space, which can be described as precious. I wore the bracelet on my wrist and prayed that I would never lose it, that I didn't want to spend the rest of my life in ancient times. And, if you don't come back, there are even more terrible consequences.
"Master, don't worry, I will definitely complete the task." My heart was filled with excitement.
"Why, do you want to leave like this?" Si Yin glanced at me.
"Well, yes, I'm clear about Master's explanation, hurry up and send me back to the Warring States Period. I want to hurry up and help Liu Yan and Abaoji, oh no, it should be Ming Yan and Li Xin. I couldn't wait.
He looked at me and suddenly said, "Ye Yin, you have to remember, you must not have any emotional entanglements with any figures in history, otherwise I will not be able to save you." It's just a business, don't put yourself into the slightest emotion. I'll send you to Xianyang City, and the rest is up to you. If you're in danger, contact me through the "wind" and I'll call you back to modern times, understand? He pointed to the purple crystal on my wrist.
A warm feeling flowed through my heart, and I smiled and said, "It turns out that Master still cares about me very much." ”
There seemed to be a flash in his eyes, he turned his head sideways, and said coldly: "I'm afraid that your skills are too poor and you will lose my face." ”
"Master, don't quibble, haha." I laughed.
"Alright, let's go." Si Yin returned to his usual demeanor. He put something in my pocket, took a few steps back, sat down cross-legged in front of me, folded his hands, and began to chant incantations in his mouth, I was surprised to find that the eight crystals on my wrist began to glow, brighter and brighter, more and more dazzling, piercing my eyes from open, my whole body became hotter and hotter, and my consciousness gradually began to blur, and I vaguely heard Si Yin's voice: "The door of time and space in the dark, please open it now......" Then I couldn't hear anything clearly.
My whole body was enveloped in the colored light of the crystal, and I only felt a burning heat all over my body, which was so uncomfortable. It turned out that traveling through time and space was not a fun thing, my breathing seemed to be about to stop, everything in front of me was getting more and more blurry, Si Yin's voice was getting farther and farther away, and a burst of headache finally made me completely unconscious.
I don't know how long it took for me to wake up slowly, and my whole body was like falling apart, sore and painful. I opened my eyes suddenly, and I couldn't help shouting out "ah", the surrounding was overgrown with weeds and desolate, where was there a shadow of the city? Master, Master, this error is too big. Although Taibu was only a permanent subordinate official who was responsible for divination at the emperor's order, it was impossible to be in such a barren mountain and remote place, and he was a little nervous for a while.
After I slowly calmed down, I quickly touched the pocket on the inside of my shirt first, took it out and took a look, it was okay, the invisibility talisman, the spirit removal talisman, and the summoning talisman were all there, and I quickly looked at the bracelet on my wrist, which was also there. I suddenly remembered what Si Yin had put in the pocket of my white coat, and when I looked at it, I couldn't help but be overjoyed, it turned out to be a few pieces of jade with excellent color. Si Yin thought thoughtfully, and when he became these jades, he didn't have to worry about money for the time being.
But the most important thing at the moment is how to get to Xianyang? If it's like "Xun Qin Ji" in Zhao State or something, I'm really going to vomit blood. Glancing at the crystal on my wrist, I suppressed the idea of asking Si Yin, the first time I went on a mission, I couldn't let him underestimate it. I don't believe I can't get to Xianyang.
With my mind settled, I sat down cross-legged, pulled out the charm, recited the incantation, and began to summon the floating spirits in the vicinity. The deceased, who do not believe that they are dead, or who still have nostalgia for the world, will become wandering spirits in the world, and can easily be summoned. The slightly chilly wind blew, and the weeds around more than half a person moved densely with the wind, a white light flashed, and the charm turned into an eleven or twelve-year-old little girl, I stopped, and looked at her in amazement, how is it a little girl, it seems that my skills still need to be strengthened. But the summons have also been summoned, so I'll ask her for the time being.
"Little girl, are you from Qin?"
She nodded.
"So do you know where Xianyang is?" I continued.
She nodded again, stretched out her hand to the weeds, and said in a low voice, "Follow this gallop road all the way to Xianyang City." Listening to her answer, I felt relieved, fortunately it was near Xianyang City.
"That shouldn't be far away, right?"
"It's not far, and it's about two hours by carriage."
"What!" I jumped up again, and it took two hours, or four hours, to make a carriage, so I couldn't walk until it was dark?
"Okay, okay, thank you, you can go back." I recited the incantation for a while, and my index and middle fingers were put together in a handprint, and I pointed at her, and suddenly the girl disappeared, and only a charm floated down.
I put away the charm, stood up helplessly, looked up at the sky, it was still early, a cold wind was blowing in my face, I couldn't help but shiver, seeing that the season seemed to be early autumn, I looked at my white coat, light green plaid shirt and jeans, as if there was a more important thing in Xianyang City----- hurry up and buy a set of Qin clothes.
Walking through the weeds, I saw a gallop road that was neither wide nor narrow, and looked back and forth, there seemed to be no trace, so I had to walk along the gallop road. If only someone had come in with a carriage now, then maybe they could have a ride.
Just as he was thinking, the sound of horses' hooves was heard in the distance behind him, and when he looked back, the road was dusty, and he could vaguely see a man galloping in this direction. It's really an endless road, but the speed of this horse is so fast that it doesn't seem to stop, no matter what, I have to try anyway, I quickly rushed to the middle of the road, while shouting: "Stop, stop!" ”
The horse really stopped, and just as I was rejoicing, the whip also fell, and although it was coming very quickly, I still reflexively grasped the whip, what a man! I was also annoyed, and when I looked up and was about to kill him with my eyes, I met a pair of long, dark eyes. To my surprise, he was very young, only about twenty years old, tall and straight, handsome in appearance, with well-defined contours, and a simple black Qin-style deep robe with silver trim, but he looked extremely noble and imposing on him. What surprised me was not his appearance, but that I had never seen a pair of eyes so deep and cold, which made people look a little cool. I think ---- made a mistake, maybe I shouldn't have provoked someone like that.
"What a guts." He frowned slightly.
"But...... It was you who whipped me indiscriminately, and I am not a dead man, so did you just let you whip it for nothing? I blurted out.
He didn't seem to expect me to dare to fight back, and after being slightly stunned, there was a faint trace of anger in his eyes, and said: "You stopped my horse first, this alone can cure you for capital crimes, and ......" He looked me up and down, and said, "Where are you from, what kind of messy clothes are you wearing?" is also clothed and scattered, what kind of system. There was a clear flash of surprise in his eyes.
"I'm from far away, and although I'm dressed a little weirdly, I'm not a bad person." I also glanced at him a little impatiently, if it weren't for Si Yin saying not to use spells in front of people, I would have put a talisman on his head, robbed his horse and ran---- and talked nonsense with him.
"Then why did you stop my horse?"
"I want to go to Xianyang City, can you take me there?"
"Nope."
"If you take me, I can pay you."
"Money? I have a lot of this kind of stuff. The corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a hint of disdain.
"I said that you are too unkind, and when you see a poor woman in distress, shouldn't you help her? Can you bear to watch a lonely woman walk to Xianyang on foot, and perhaps there are wild beasts and bandits...... "I kept telling him all the tragic situations I could think of.
"What's the matter with me, I'm not a good person in the first place." He said coldly, but the look in his eyes softened slightly. What kind of person is this, it's really an inverted frieze, why did I meet such a hard-hearted person as soon as I came to Qin State.
"Forget it, I don't want to beg you, just let me, a lovely woman, be eaten by jackals, tigers and leopards." I said angrily, glared at him fiercely, and walked straight on.
I had just walked a few steps when I heard the sound of horses' hooves, and before I could come back to my senses, I felt that my body was light, and I was carried on the horse. I looked back in amazement, and met his eyes, which had a hint of amusement in his dark eyes.
"Hey...... How do you ......"
"I'll make an exception, lovely woman." He accentuated the word "cute" in particular, with a hint of mockery in his tone.
"I, I didn't ask you." My mood is a little depressed, although I am not a national beauty, but I look quite delicate and cute, why is the word "cute" so ridiculous for me? It's too contemptuous of people.
It's the first time in my life that I've been so close to a strange man, and it's an old man from more than 2,000 years ago, which is a bit incredible. His body exudes a quiet scent of sandalwood, and judging by his dress and conversation, eighty percent is a noble child.
In the speed of the wind, it was only about an hour later, and the dark red city wall was seen in the distance.
"Ah, Xianyang City!" I couldn't help but scream, I was excited, I could see the appearance of the Qin State during the Warring States Period immediately, I don't know if it looks like the one on TV?
