Chapter 1: The Beginning of Winter and the Return of the Soul to the Ancient (1)

Next Chapter

The dark night sky, dotted with stars, a ray of meteor pierced the sky, falling to the dust.

The noisy courtyard, the beginning of winter, the cold wind swept away the last dead leaf, there was a teenager leaning on a trunk that was far thicker than himself, wearing a green coat fluttering in the wind, with a contemplative expression on his face that seemed to be different from the other other teenagers dancing with swords around, looking at these disciples around him, Dongfang Jun was obviously still in a trance, he had been here for almost a few days, although the general situation had been understood, but he still felt a little incredible, in 2022, as the first person to land on the moon in China, he would have left a name in history, and he would have left a strong mark in the books of history, but at such a juncture, I was inhaled by an incredible small wormhole, and when I woke up, I had already appeared in this world, and the appearance of wormholes on the moon was incredible, and what was even more incredible was that I was inhaled into it and survived.

"How, do you remember anything" The one who spoke was a handsome young man, who walked quietly from the side, wearing a blue and black crown with a hosta in the middle, wearing a blue and black shirt customized by the famous tailor Master Deng in Taiqing City, with particularly eye-catching eyebrows, looking heroic.

"You are a member of the Shangguan family, you came to the territory of my Dongfang family so magnificently, and you are not afraid of outsiders saying that my two families have formed a private party" Dongfang Jun looked sideways slightly, but he looked a little bored.

"The law of the Taiqing King is set by people, so naturally there is no need to be so stubborn, I now represent that as your friend, I have nothing to do with the City Lord's Mansion" Shangguan Chen also smiled slightly, as if he had expected it a long time ago.

"What's more, you are a waste material that no one pays attention to now, let alone worry" Dongfang Jun took a few steps forward, but he was not angry, because the other party was telling the truth, and the former owner of his body seemed to be a waste material, which was also a fact that could not be changed, so he just admitted it.

"What's the matter?" Dongfang Jun sat down again, with this period of understanding, the other party would not appear here for no reason.

"The Yun family wants to get out of the marriage" Shangguan Chen said, "So what, if I do the same" Dongfang Jun seemed to be stating something that had nothing to do with him. "It's your marriage that you withdraw, maybe you don't care, but this is related to the face of the entire Dongfang family, and it affects the majesty of the dynasty" Dongfang Jun looked at Shangguan Chen for a long time and looked at the other disciples in the courtyard.

"Why me, or why did you become me?" Dongfang Jun knows that the entire Taiqing City is actually in the hands of the five major families, among which is the Dongfang family he has now, and the other four major families are the Mo family, the Chen family, the Shangguan family and the Yun family in his mouth。

"You have inherited his identity, and the heavy chains he carries must be borne by you. Shangguan Chen said and took out a very inconspicuous wooden sign, which looked like it was going to break in half at any moment.

"What do you want me to do" Dongfang Jun didn't want to argue any longer, got up and patted the dust on his body and prepared to leave.

"I will leave Taiqing City in the future, take this, it will be useful in the future" Dongfang Jun was a little puzzled when he took the tattered wooden card, but after thinking about it, his identity was recognized by the other party, and he would not go to great lengths to harm himself. Seeing that Dongfang Jun accepted the wooden card, Shangguan Chen turned around and left. "In addition, I would like to remind you that the Mo Chen family is already preparing to make a move against the Dongfang family, so they have prepared early. β€œ

"The sky is falling, and there is a tall man on top of it, not to mention who expects me to do something like a waste material" Dongfang Jun didn't seem to care at all. Holding a palm-sized tattered wooden card, thinking about his original owner again, he suddenly felt a little bitter smile, the traversers in other people's novels are all gods who have killed all over the world and made great achievements, and he was pierced by this man all of a sudden, it really feels a little incredible. But fortunately, he is not a talkative person, not to mention that even if he says it, how many people will believe him.

......

......

As one of the top families of the Taiqing Dynasty, although the Oriental family has now declined, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and it still shows the last majesty under the sunset.

Although Dongfang Jun is now a waste material, as the only descendant of the previous generation of family heads, he can still get a good little money every month, Dongfang Jun has never been a person who likes to chase fame and fortune, as long as he can ensure that he eats, drinks and has fun, it is enough. But...... Contrary to wishes.

"The Oriental family will not raise an idler! The money will be halved, and you must work like other miscellaneous servants in the future" is a fat woman with thief eyebrows and rat eyes, in charge of the backyard work of the Oriental family, everyone calls her a ghost woman in private, she likes to be greedy and cheap, and the previous Dongfang Jun's money has been swallowed up a lot after her hands.

Dongfang Jun didn't speak, as if he didn't hear, he continued to lie on his straw mat bed, but opened his eyelids slightly and glanced at the fat woman at the door. There is no trace of timidity, inferiority, panic, calmness, and unusual calm in his eyes. Seeing the ghost women who were known for being mean in the past, they were a little confused.

"Don't ...... Don't pretend to be ...... me Fill the garlic, and chop the firewood from the firewood room for me...... "Hell, I don't know how to be afraid of this waste today, it must be an illusion, it's an illusion." Then he felt a little uncomfortable and left Dongfang Jun's porter.

At this time, it was already noon, and the strong sunlight shone in through the window, stabbing Dongfang Jun's eyes a little painfully.

"Goo~Goo" There was a discordant sound in his stomach, thinking that it was time to find some food to eat, although the food in this world is a little shabby compared to the original world, but it is more important to fill his stomach first now.

The kitchen and firewood room in the backyard are connected together, Dongfang Jun walked for a while before he arrived, speaking of which this Oriental family is really big, this area is probably not much with Tang Daming Palace, I can't imagine that if the Oriental family was in its heyday, it would be even the size of several Daming Palaces. In fact, this is really Dongfang Jun's thoughts, as the top family of the Taiqing Dynasty, the Dongfang family can be said to be the only family whose building scale is about to catch up with the palace, but because of this, the annual maintenance cost is of course expensive. It can be said that this is also one of the reasons for the decline of the Oriental family.

Compared with the majestic overall architecture of the Oriental Family, the kitchen and firewood room in the backyard are much more dilapidated, and the walls are full of mottled water stains and potholes left behind the falling walls, showing a scene of ashes. Although I was a little surprised, but this is not the focus of Dongfang Jun's attention at present, I tiptoed into the kitchen and found that there was no shadow of half a person, it was really strange, no one prepared food at lunchtime?

"Goo~Goo" The discordant voice came, Dongfang Jun thought about it, let's just take a moment, it's important to eat first. After a while, the flame rose in the kitchen, because I was really hungry, a basket of potatoes was scraped into pieces by Dongfang Jun after a while, directly into the water, and then drained and put into the oil pot to fry for a while, and then fished out and put into the plate again, sprinkled with salt, monosodium glutamate-like seasoning, chopped green onions, chili oil and stirred evenly, Dongfang Jun felt a little satisfied, and smelled it for a while, the color and flavor were complete, and the silkworm potatoes were perfectly baked!

......

The atrium of the Oriental Family is located in the center of the entire family, and at this moment, the inner hall gathers the direct or contributing side children and elders of the entire Oriental Family.

"Today is the 80th birthday of Elder Taishang, I am very happy, the performance of everyone present this year" The middle-aged man who raised his glass in the chief position is the contemporary head of the Dongfang family, Dongfang Xiong, and the entire Taiqing Dynasty is an extremely rare powerhouse. And the white-haired old man on his right is the current highest-ranking elder of the Dongfang family. The old man's eyes were slightly closed, and he seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep, but the others present did not think so, the old man's horror was also the key to the existence of the Oriental family until now.

"Today I specially ordered the back kitchen to prepare eighty delicacies of the mountains and seas for us, wishing Elder Taishang a long life and Tianqi" The young man who stood up and spoke, dressed gorgeously, with a golden crown on his head, is the purest direct descendant of the Dongfang family in addition to Dongfang Jun, and now Dongfang Jun has become a waste, and most of the people present know that if there is no accident, the position of the head of the Dongfang family in the future will be none other than Dongfang Ming. The corners of Dongfang Ming's mouth curled up slightly, and he looked extremely proud, his eyes looked at a girl in white opposite, compared with the pandering attitude of the others around him, Dongfang Xue was still as cold as frost and ignored it.

Dongfang Xiong looked at his baby daughter and smiled with some satisfaction, if it weren't for his daughter, Xue'er's martial arts realm would definitely be the best candidate for the position of the head of the family, it was a pity, but fortunately, there was also the head of the three young men of the Dongfang Ming Oriental family, and he could be regarded as a successor.

"With Brother Ming in front, supplemented by Xue'er, the day of the revival of my Oriental Family is just around the corner" Dongfang Ming also picked up the wine glass, held it high on his forehead, and bowed slightly to Dongfang Xiong, the third of the three young men of the Oriental Family, Dongfang Huo, is also promising.

"Brother Dead, I don't know what preparations you have for today's elder's birthday" Suddenly the words changed and pointed to the sword-hugging young man who was leaning on the chair on the opposite side, and the young man opened his eyes and glanced at Dongfang Huo. Then he slammed the scabbard on the table.

Dongfang Huo's eyes jumped, "Dongfang Yan, what do you want to do, today is the birthday of Elder Taishang, you are not allowed to be presumptuous!" said righteous words, extremely generous, and the vassals around him pointed at the young man.

"I broke through to the peak of the human realm three days ago, I don't know if this gift can be satisfied" A majestic momentum instantly spread out from Dongfang Yan's body, and the peak strength of the human realm was undoubtedly revealed, this time it was the turn of everyone present to be surprised, the three juniors of the Dongfang family were the youngest in Dongfang Yan, and their achievements in the future after breaking through to the peak of the human realm today are definitely not weaker than Dongfang Ming and even vaguely exceed the first line, Dongfang Ming can only reach the early stage of the human realm at this age.

Dongfang Huo's face was gloomy, and Dongfang Ming's face was also a little not good-looking, and no one would be too happy to be robbed of the limelight.

"And Brother Ming, you said, eighty dishes of longevity and Tianqi, you can take a good look at whether it is seventy-nine dishes or eighty dishes, dare to ask Brother Ming which master taught you this technique, I really want to ask for advice" Dongfang Yan took advantage of the situation to withdraw the scabbard, "Presumptuous, how can you speak here, you are guilty of the following, it is simply a mess of etiquette, what kind of system!, how can I have a little bit of the appearance of a child of my Oriental family" Hearing Dongfang Huo's strong words, Dongfang Huo's eyes were cold, and Dongfang Huo's heart jumped when he looked at it, "It's ridiculous!" According to the seniority, it is not your turn, is it appropriate for Brother Ming to sit here now!"

"Okay, okay, today is Elder Taishang's birthday, give me a little peace" Originally, according to Dongfang Xiong's character, there must be a scolding, but thinking that there will be one more strong man in the family in the future who is second only to Xue'er, I am also very satisfied.

"There's another dish!" Dongfang Ming scolded the ghost woman beside him, and the ghost woman's fat body also looked trembling, and cold sweat broke out on her forehead. "The young master is angry, let the next person send it up immediately" The atmosphere of the entire luncheon was a little awkward for a while. Even so, they didn't see any reaction from the Supreme Elder who was sitting next to him, and everyone was relieved.

"One person missing," the old man's lips moved slightly, and he said softly. Dongfang Xiong was also slightly surprised, Elder Taishang, who had never liked to talk, actually said something unexpectedly today, which is a very rare thing.

"One person missing, my three young men from the Dongfang family, seven direct lineage, and eighteen disciples are all here," Dongfang Ming smiled at Elder Taishang and said.

"Yes, my generation has already arrived" Dongfang Huo echoed, Dongfang Xiong also frowned, and glanced around, indeed the seven direct families, the eighteenth room disciples and even the children of the side branches are there, not necessarily no one is missing. "Elder, I'm afraid I'm mistaken, all the heroes of my Dongfang family are here" Only Dongfang Xue'er seemed to know something, a trace of darkness flashed in her eyes, and then she drank a glass alone.

"Xue'er, the elder hasn't moved yet, don't lose your courtesy" Seeing that Xue'er suddenly poured a glass of wine and drank it, Dongfang Xiong was a little puzzled at first, when did his daughter like to drink, and then seemed to think that this was the elder's birthday and pretended to scold.

......

"Hurry up, what are the dishes in the kitchen, the young masters in the atrium are still waiting" The ghost woman beckoned a guy who came to the kitchen, "There are no ingredients left, the seventy-nine dishes have been used up for the past two days, and Steward Zhang has already sent someone to the east kitchen in the front yard and the back yard" The guy was also sweating profusely, and one dish was missing, and he had already made the entire east kitchen in the atrium jump chickens and dogs.

"Hey, Steward Zhang, do you think this is?" One of the guys pointed to a few plates of unknown dishes next to the cutting board, and said that they still looked hot. Steward Zhang is also a little puzzled, because there are not many maids in the backyard, there are few people in the backyard East Kitchen, and today I actually saw hot food.

"No matter, let's take a plate first" Thinking of the ghost woman, as if she was urging her life, Steward Zhang didn't think much about it, so he asked the guy to pick up a plate and leave.

Dongfang Jun held a plate of silkworm potatoes in his hand and lay on the roof, although the sun was shining at the moment and there was a small grass shed that could only accommodate two people. But he didn't care about these at all, just like this, lying comfortably under the grass hut and eating and drinking, satisfied, with a toothpick in the corner of his mouth, squinting his eyes and looking into the distance.

"Huh?!' A building in the distance attracted Dongfang Jun's attention, he knew that this was the other courtyard of the Dongfang family, which was generally inhabited by people with status, standing up and looking carefully, Dongfang Jun's face showed a smile, "Sure enough" As a moon lander who was once one in a million, Dongfang Jun was very confident that his eyesight would never be wrong.

Dongfang Jun looked at the poem in his hand, first frowned, then smiled slightly, and then looked at the remaining ink, and the poem became "The sunset, outside the jackdaw, the eyes are broken, and the four hundred states in the southeast" finally found a little fun, in the past, he loved some calligraphy, poetry and painting, and today is a little useful, Dongfang Jun put the ink pen back in place, Dongfang Jun thought about it, "It's difficult to get into the elegant hall", and rolled up the pair he wrote and threw it into a wooden bucket on the side where waste paper was placed. Leave the compound satisfied.

......

"Everyone knows that Xue'er is the book saint of my Taiqing Dynasty and Yun Wan'er of the Yun family, and calls me the second saint of Taiqing, why not take advantage of Elder Taishang's birthday to write a poem to help the fun," the third elder said with a smile on his hand.

"Yes, yes, when Yun Wan'er enters my mansion again, it can really be described as a double saint, and the old man is worth it" The seventh elder was heroic and arrogant.

"Okay, since the elders asked for this, I wrote a poem a few days ago, and it just happened that there was a lack of the next couplet, which virtuous person could match" Dongfang Xue'er still had a cold face, and glanced at the maid next to her.

"Looking north is too clear, and the south of the river goes to the water," the maid read. Everyone frowned and fell into some kind of contemplation, but Dongfang Ming was the only one who looked confident with a smile on his face.

"Seeing that Brother Ming is like this, I'm afraid I already have an answer, why don't you solve a puzzle for us" Dongfang Huo looked at Dongfang Yan and said with bad intentions.

"Phew" Dongfang Yan is a little disdainful of such sycophants.

"Virtuous nephew, now that you have the answer, don't hang the appetite of us old guys" The third elder looked at Dongfang Ming and was very satisfied, not forgetting to cultivate it at the beginning.

Elder Taishang still leaned on the chair and still didn't react, Dongfang Xiong glanced at it with his spare eyes and knew that these didn't arouse Elder Taishang's interest, but if this could make Elder Taishang pay attention, it would be called hell, Dongfang Xiong is now one of the few people who don't know much about Elder Taishang's might.

"Everyone in my Taiqing Dynasty knows that it is located in the south of the mainland, and the first sentence clearly points to my Taiqing Dynasty's intention to unify the north, while the next sentence is to say that my Taiqing Dynasty flows from the north to the south, and intends that my Taiqing Dynasty is like the power of flowing water is pervasive and dominates the entire western part of the continent. The smugness on Dongfang Ming's face was undoubtedly revealed, Dongfang Huo was also admiring, the elders around him were also pleased, Dongfang Xiong was also deeply satisfied, Dongfang Yan showed a look of contempt, "Idiot!"

Dongfang Xue'er frowned slightly, as if she wanted to leave here, Elder Taishang suddenly opened his eyes, everyone present also looked at him in surprise, Dongfang Ming was even more complacent in his heart, even Elder Taishang, who had never been waiting to see people, was shocked by himself, how could he be uneasy.

Elder Ran Taishang glanced at him and then looked at other places, as if he was looking for something, Dongfang Ming was also stunned, and finally seemed to have found what he was looking for.

"Bring it to me" The old man pointed in a certain direction concisely, Dongfang Huo looked at the direction that Elder Taishang pointed to, and it was a dish that had just been presented in front of him, with Dongfang Huo's knowledge for so many years, he had never seen this kind of dish. But at this moment, since it was Elder Taishang's request, he had to give up, and let the cook make a plate for himself later, Dongfang Huo thought so in his heart.

When he took over this unknown dish, the old man rarely showed a smile, Dongfang Xiong shouted strangely, Elder Taishang actually laughed, not only Dongfang Xiong and other people of course also saw this scene, and once had a strong interest in such a chopstick-like dish. However, Elder Taishang was in front, and everyone had to think in their hearts, and they didn't dare to snatch food on the surface.

"What kind of dish is this Steward Zhang, go and have a few more plates" The third elder seemed to have an idea, and called out to Steward Zhang who was standing aside. Steward Zhang didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly agreed. Hurriedly left with a group of maids.

A plate of dishes was suddenly clean and even the bottom was unusually smooth, "Not bad" Elder Taishang was a little satisfied, and then glanced at the children of these families around him with a disappointed expression.

"Elder Taishang~" Everyone got up and bowed slightly, "Do you know why my Dongfang family was based on this continent in the first place" A spirit suddenly emanated from the old man, "Please also ask Elder Taishang Mingjian" Dongfang Xiong said respectfully.

"De, my Eastern Family once reigned on the entire continent, and the Taiqing Royal Family also relied on us, even the Heavenly Dynasty that once made the whole world tremble was afraid of us, but now you see, what has become of the Eastern Family in your hands!" Dongfang stood up without regrets, and his thin back revealed a hint of loneliness. Everyone was also cold in their hearts, and they still had lingering palpitations about those three words, what a terrible existence it was, "Heavenly Dynasty!" Once the whole world was under its snort.

"The elder said seriously, the Heavenly Dynasty acted against the sky, and it was not tolerated by heaven to perish after all, but my Oriental family is now full of talents, and it can be said that its strength is thriving. The third elder lowered his head and said.

"Fart! I'm really confused, I don't know anything, not to mention the entire Taiqing Dynasty, even in this Taiqing City, I'm afraid I can't even keep the position of one of the five great families! Dongfang Xiong knew that Elder Taishang was talking about his brother who was also the head of the previous generation, and his talent was not as good as his brother since he was a child, and finally the position of the family fell into the hands of his brother without any suspense, but fortunately, the Dongfang family finally reached its peak in the hands of his unfathomable brother, if it weren't for the war in the world, the brother didn't die, and the Dongfang family was afraid that it would not be like this now, so he was even more ashamed in his heart when he thought about it, and lowered his head.

"Elder Taishang's lesson is" A group of people led by Dongfang Xiong half-bowed down, looking extremely respectful, only, "The difference between what the elder said, although my Dongfang family is not as good as it was now, but it is still a great talent, and I believe it won't be long before I can re-ascend to the top" Dongfang Xiong shouted in his heart, how could Dongfang Ming, who had always been calm at this time, be so unwise today, and dare to stand up to Elder Taishang's mouth. In fact, this is also reasonable, the calm appearance on weekdays was deliberately created by Dongfang Ming for outsiders to see, but today he was stimulated by Dongfang Ming, and he has lost some of his mind, "Brother Ming, no" Even Dongfang Huo noticed that something was wrong.

Dongfang had no regrets and glanced at Dongfang Ming, and then at the others, their eyes were gloomy, "Are you comparable to Shangguan Chen of the Shangguan family, Yun Wan'er of the Yun family, and Mo Tian of the Mo family, now my Dongfang family except Xue'er, who else can compete with them!" Dongfang has no regrets, and the more he looks at this group of uncompetitive children, the more indignant he looks, and his angry beard trembles.

"Elder calm down, Ming'er retreat" Dongfang Xiong was already in a pile of cold sweat on his forehead, and hurriedly ordered Dongfang Ming to retreat.

"It's okay, how can I worry about the juniors" Dongfang Wu regrets took down a dark long sword from the wall, "In the past, Jun'er overwhelmed the group with the posture of the sky, not to mention that it was just this small Taiqing City, even the entire Taiqing Dynasty and even the entire Taigu Continent were at the pinnacle of existence" Dongfang Wu regrets stroked the sword in his hand A trace of cold light crossed the sword body, of course everyone knew what this was, the treasure of the Oriental family, the great thousand swords, but so far no family member can pull it out, except for the beginning" This great sword has been pulled out once, and no one has been able to pull it out since then, and you are not ashamed. β€œ

"But he is already a waste now" Dongfang Ming was unwilling, "That is also the waste that once served my Dongfang family to glorify the ancestors, do you have it, just ask which of you has it," Dongfang Xue'er seemed to be unwilling to listen anymore, got up and bowed slightly to the Supreme Elder and left. "No, not a single one"
