Chapter 4: Déjà vu
But this way of opening is really a bit primitive, the savior picture that Lin Ze fantasizes about in his heart is a cosmic fierce battle like "Star Wars", no matter how bad it is, it should be like "The Matrix" The shuttle space to promote the awakening of human beings, of course, compared to incarnating into a USB flash drive like "Super Body", it is quite a good treatment to go back to ancient times. It's just that Z hasn't appeared again so far, could it be that with the identity of this prince, his assistance will be completed?
What does it say in the ancient texts, the heavens will descend on people, and they must first suffer their minds......
Before Lin Ze could think about it, a huge pressure suddenly hit him, although it was not as terrifying as being controlled by his body, but the fear from his heart still made him sweat coldly, and his hair stood upside down.
Under tremendous pressure, Lin Ze tried to turn back, and it was his nominal father, the monarch of the country. This time I can see it much more clearly than last time, the monarch is in good shape, thick eyebrows and sharp eyes, even if he is more than half a hundred years old, his courage and majesty are still unremitting, just this glance makes Lin Ze's psychological defense line almost collapse.
The monarch didn't know when he came, and he was staring at Lin Ze solemnly at this time, his eyes were deep and solemn, as if he had shielded all the red flowers and green willows in the world, and the "nine and a half" in his eyes was his whole world, which could be seen through at a glance.
What's even more frightening is that there is a faint glimmer of golden light in the eyes of the monarch of the country!
What is that? Is it a dragon? Could it be that the founding monarch of the Nine Kingdoms is really the nine sons of the dragon? Could it be that the successive monarchs of the Nine Kingdoms are all descendants of the Divine Dragon? Isn't his current body also flowing with the blood of the Divine Dragon?
"Son-in-law, see father!"
Lin Ze hurriedly saluted, and in his anxiety, the phrase "father" was a lot more familiar, surprised and afraid to participate in admiration, and several emotions were hovering in Lin Ze's heart, entangled and entangled. He himself can't tell whether this emotion is good or bad, right or wrong, but he seems to have gradually recognized himself as "nine and a half", or rather, began to adapt to this identity.
After staring at Lin Ze silently for a long time, the monarch finally opened Chrysostom.
"What's the view like here?"
"It's vast, it's magnificent. ”
The monarch's eyes suddenly deepened, and he looked into the distance, although he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart, but it was inevitable that it was all about the country. It is also a contradiction to say, how could there be such a monarch who does not understand the wind and the moon so much, how can there be such a monarch who does not understand the wind and the moon? However, if it were not for this monarch who did not understand the wind and the moon, how could the people of the country of the negative country have leisure and elegant stability. This is probably the reason for the trace of admiration in Lin Ze's heart.
"My father once taught you that love is deep and long-lived, and you have forgotten it all together. ”
"Erchen, willing to start from a new ......"
After a few sentences, the atmosphere was silent, and the monarch seemed to be choked by Lin Ze's response, and did not answer immediately, after nodding slightly, the monarch took out a wooden hairpin from his sleeve and lit it in front of Lin Ze's eyes, which was the "token of Z" that Lin Ze secretly hid.
How could this wooden hairpin be in the hands of the monarch? Thinking of this, Lin Ze couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, with the wisdom of the monarch, it might not be too difficult to see the flaws of his "fake son"? But is it too rebellious for his identity to be exposed so quickly?
Lin Ze didn't dare to take the wooden hairpin, recalling the golden light in the monarch's eyes just now, his legs instantly weakened, and he fell to the ground, his upper teeth trembling and his lower teeth beating, almost ready to confess all in one go.
Who knew that the monarch actually pulled Lin Ze up, and Lin Ze was almost pulled out by this strong pull.
"How can a dignified prince kneel down easily for a woman!"
Wait, woman? What woman? Z is a woman? Isn't that exciting?
Lin Ze glanced at the monarch in a daze, and lowered his head in fright by his majestic face. The monarch had no ill intentions, only stuffed the wooden hairpin into Lin Ze's hand, and then turned his back to continue to look into the distance.
"Love is long-lived. It would be best if our son could take the Father's teachings to heart. Now that the nine countries are secretly wrestling, the fortunes of the country are unpredictable, and they must not fall into the love of their children. ”
“...... Son, obey. ”
The monarch simply waved his hand and motioned for Lin Ze to retreat. Lin Ze didn't think much about it, anyway, his identity was not revealed, who knows what kind of "affectionate" debts the original owner of this body had. Pull out the leg and withdraw first, and then talk about it later.
Having said that, the look of the monarch's respectful teaching just now, there was actually some kindness in the severity, which made Lin Ze feel an inexplicable sense of intimacy in his heart, and his mind was slightly clearer, like the joy of the rest of his life after the catastrophe, and like withered grass and trees welcoming the spring rain, like a heavy relief. But after thinking about it, the monarch's words revealed that this wooden hairpin must be related to a woman, and it doesn't seem to be a token left by Z.
This irresponsible "god" has really disappeared completely! If it weren't for his own wit, he would probably be in a different place by now!
Lin Ze had just breathed a sigh of relief, and not far away, a clear-faced sword-bearer hurriedly ran over, and this person was Mu Tuo. Mu Tuo is the personal guard of the prince nine and a half, the two can be regarded as growing up together, the relationship is very close, nine and a half have been weak since childhood, and can only practice martial arts, so Mu Tuo has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and now he is already a kung fu master. Every three years, the Nine Kingdoms will open a court meeting between the nine countries, the monarchs gather together to discuss the affairs of the world, and the people will use this to launch a variety of rings, called Shengshu Ring, the ring competition includes fighting martial arts, fighting literature, fighting arts, fighting beasts and other sub-items, the top ten in the ring will be recorded in the list, named the famous list. This famous list has a very high degree of recognition, both official and public, and Mu Tuo won the honor of being on the famous list in the last martial arts competition, and was the seventh place in the fighting martial arts of that year.
Therefore, with a master like Mu Tuo by his side, Chu Jun Jiuhan is absolutely safe in principle. Of course, this is only in principle, after all, the current owner of this body is a modern person named Lin Ze, and the original owner is ninety and a half, eighty percent was killed by the demon beast called the green wolf, judging from the fact that there are no fatal injuries on the body, maybe he was scared to death.
A few days of contact made Lin Ze very relieved of Mu Tuo, although he was a very close person to Jiuhan, Mu Tuo's ability to distinguish people was not so unfathomable, in other words, as long as Lin Ze kept the face of Jiuhan, Mu Tuo would always be convinced of him. is a very simple teenager in his bones, Lin Ze can't help but secretly admire his acting skills.
"Brother Jiu, how is it? The monarch didn't blame you, did he?"
"What Brother Nine, what kind of place are you supposed to be?"
The young man suddenly reacted to something, and hurriedly knelt down on one knee and clenched his fists to plead guilty:
"Weichen is guilty, please punish His Royal Highness Jiu!"
"I'm kidding you, get up. ”
"His Highness Xie Jiu. ”
The young man slowly stood up and smirked at Lin Ze. By teasing Mu Tuo, Lin Ze's mood also instantly became happy, and he couldn't help laughing proudly. Seeing this, Mu Tuo knew that he was being tricked by Brother Jiu again, and he also made a grimace to show his closeness. The ninth brother in the past was also very close, but he rarely talked and laughed on weekdays, and he always got along with each other through some writing and ink, and most of Mu Tuo couldn't understand those profound feelings. The current ninth brother is obviously a lot more cheerful, and he seems to have been injured, and suddenly opened his laughing hole.
The cool breeze hit, and a trace of sadness collided with the joy in Lin Ze's heart, Lin Ze turned his head, his eyes passed through the long corridor, and saw the man who was still standing on the Futong platform overlooking the world, Lin Ze's eyes also became complicated.
Lin Ze and Mu Tuo returned all the way back to the prince's dormitory, chatting with each other, most of them were Mu Tuo chattering, Lin Ze listened and secretly analyzed, there were still too many things he needed to know, and every chat was like a class.
In recent years, although the situation between the nine countries has been unstable, as long as there is no name for war, next year's Nine Nations Dynasty Meeting will still be held as scheduled, which means that the Shengshu Tournament will also be held on time, and I don't know how many people will be on the list. Lin Ze was thinking about one thing in his heart, that is, to recruit a few more masters while Shengshu was fighting, in case Z really didn't appear again, it would still be necessary to have a few more dead soldiers around him to protect him.
"Mu Tuo, who do you think will be the top three martial artists next year?"
"It's hard to say, Brother Jiu, I heard that there is a wanderer surnamed Wei in the country of the fierce one, holding both hands full of bladed knives, and it is said that no one has really seen him out of the knife, and the one who sees the knife will be the ghost under the knife. ”
"There are rumors in the market, and it is also said that there is an old man Sizhu under the Xuanwu Cliff in the East China Sea whose skills are unfathomable, and the result is not that he was found dead in the mouth of a wild bear. ”
"Well, the old man Sizhu should have cultivated his soul and ascended to immortality, leaving a body that happened to be ruined by beasts. ”
"Cultivating the spirit?Feather Soaring?haha, really?"
"Mu Tuo is also hearsay, I don't know about magic, they are all good at mocking the wind and the prisoner of the cow, I only know that the advanced method of spiritual cultivation has been extinct for many years, and everyone has tried to see the real material. Except for His Royal Highness the Monarch Changyou, who has been assigned by a master of spiritual arts, over the years, there have been no relevant anecdotes of gods and men. “
Lin Ze couldn't help but sigh that although these nine countries are big, there are too few legends, and in a few days, they are all the same old things, and even folk wild history is rarely heard, which is very boring. If the Shengshu Ring can be held as scheduled, he must personally go to test the true chapters of these fighters, and Lin Ze doesn't believe in the spiritual cultivation method, and it is estimated that it is just some tricks.
When the two of them walked together, they suddenly lost their eyes and spread with the wind, Lin Ze only felt that there was a trace of déjà vu fragrance flowing from his nose, and he couldn't help but stop and feel it. And Mu Tuo, who was still a little lost just now, instantly came to his senses, squinted a pair of eyes, and smiled secretly at Lin Ze.
"Brother Jiu, who do you think of?"
"The deceased. ”
"Isn't it there?"
As he spoke, Mu Tuo raised his finger and pointed to the depths of the flower bushes, a woman dressed in a cyan soft gauze stood in a pale pink, with a delicate face and deep eyes.
Lin Ze was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that what he was referring to in the phrase "old man" had been associated with Mu Tuo elsewhere, and he didn't expect that this mispointed "old man" was really familiar. Mu Tuo saw that his ninth brother looked infatuated with spring, and couldn't help but deliberately get closer and joke:
"Brother Jiu, you are Miss Qiao's savior, if you have any ideas......
"Miss Joe, life-saver?"
"That's right...... Oh, I guess Brother Jiu forgot, you fought with that beast green wolf just to save this Qiao girl. ”
Lin Ze's eyes never left that Qiao girl, that face was so familiar, and all the old scenes poured into his mind. At that time, Lin Ze was still in modern times, and he was still the little gangster who was cheated and abducted on the street. It seems to be a memory, and it seems to be illusory, the fragmented memory appears in the depths of Lin Ze's soul and flips, a feeling that is out of place with this world, like a film image, sometimes clear, sometimes blurred.
“...... Irchen. ”
Lin Ze couldn't help blurting out a name, it was the girl he once loved, they met in a noisy situation, and then fell in love, but in the end, they separated in the same noise, and that separation was a complete eternal separation between heaven and man, and Lin Zebei was charged with murder.
Without thinking about it, Lin Ze's eyes were still stuck on the woman in front of him, but his legs couldn't bear to meet each other, so he took a silent step, slowly entered the flower bush, and gradually approached the woman in Tsing Yi.
If Lin Ze broke into this plane because she died in a plane crash, then maybe she would ......
Lin Ze slowly walked towards the woman in green clothes, and Mu Tuo behind him couldn't help but snicker twice when he saw that his ninth brother was so affectionate, and then corrected his color, and hurriedly followed the footsteps, and was afraid of ruining the atmosphere of the reunion between the two, so he stopped and watched not far away.
The flowers are speechless, and the breeze is scarred. Lin Ze arrived in front of the woman in a few steps, she was playing with butterflies, but she didn't even notice it. Lin Ze was about to reach out and touch the woman's shoulder, but who knew that the butterfly was flying, and the woman was looking for a butterfly, just looking back and looking at Lin Ze. This hope is like a repetition of the old things, in a different world and a different city, but there are old people. Lin Ze's hand stopped in mid-air, passively brushing the woman's long flowing hair, the confusion and surprise that appeared at first glance were intertwined in a clear grace, making him fall into obsession, even madness, and then he cried with joy.
However, this reunion was not as Lin Ze wished. The woman's expression changed from surprise to indifference in an instant, and before Lin Ze could carefully appreciate this sudden change, the woman had already bent down and knelt down.
"Qiao He, a folk girl, has seen Lord Chujun. ”
The familiar "old man" in front of him saw that he only cared about kneeling down in a hurry, and the surprise in Lin Ze's heart was also fragile, no matter how many words could not be explained, just the imperceptible indifference in her eyes was enough to calm Lin Ze.
How could she be Irchen, she was just, just similar to Irchen's face.
Seeing that Lin Ze suddenly lost the posture he had just had, Mu Tuo was a little out of breath, and took a step closer to pull down his ninth brother, signaling not to stand in a daze. Lin Ze, who came back to his senses, thought that Mu Tuo was reminding him to pay attention to etiquette, so he silently took back his hand that was in the air. Immediately afterwards, after Lin Ze's steady breath, a thousand words turned into a nonsense sentence that could no longer be scrapped.
“...... What's your name?"
Qiao He was stunned, she only knew that the prince in front of her had risked his life to rescue her from the mouth of the demon beast, but she didn't know that he had "amnesia" due to injury, and as for the truth of this amnesia, it was even more impossible to know. Qiao He lowered his head a little, and whispered in a mosquito voice:
"The people's daughter is called Qiao Minghe, and she is a family from Liuxi, north of Fucheng. ”
“...... Can you let me take a closer look at you. ”
If such a request is placed in modern times, it is probably too hypocritical, and if it is placed in ancient times, it is a bit rude. Although Lin Ze had already decided in his heart that the Qiao He girl in front of him was not an "old man", perhaps because her face was too similar, she still had three points of luck.
Qiao He was silent for a long time, and then raised her head slightly, a pair of shining eyes were like a treasure inlay, but although she was facing Lin Ze, these crystalline eyes looked into the distance, as if she intended to avoid the burning gaze of Lord Chujun, and the air was filled with indescribable estrangement and strangeness.
In such a corner of the dream, a man and a woman face each other, but their eyes are wrong, and then the reunion of a hundred turns and thousands of times also adds a bit of sighing, and suddenly loses its moving color, just because it seems to be affectionate, but it is ruthless. Mu Tuo, who had been watching for a long time, was about to be unable to stand this situation, but in his eyes, everything was beautiful and romantic, and he didn't notice the thoughts of the two of them at all, and immediately broke this "romance" that was afraid that it would continue to heat up.
"Brother Jiu, when are you going to let Miss Qiao kneel?"
An abrupt interjection, and finally pulled the two back to this piece of roses, Lin Ze glanced sideways at Mu Tuo, Mu Tuo really thought about his ninth brother, and squeezed his eyebrows and motioned for Lin Ze to take Qiao He to the small pavilion by the stream to drink tea, and he himself used the excuse to get medicine for His Royal Highness the prince, and disappeared without a trace as soon as he slipped away.
What a wingman!
Qiao He got up, Lin Ze raised his hand to signal, and the two walked towards the small pavilion by the stream together. After all, the faces were similar, Lin Ze still felt a little familiar with Qiao He, as if he was out of nowhere, and wanted to walk on a parallel line with her, but Qiao He always slightly fell half a step behind him. This is not out of fear, but just etiquette, after all, Lin Ze's foreign appearance is His Royal Highness the Ninth and Half Princes, and Qiao He, as a folk woman, naturally has to keep his distance to see respect and order.
After a while, the two entered the pavilion. In the palace, there are not a few such elegant small pavilions, although few people stop to patronize, the tea between the pavilions is regularly changed by waiters. Most of the pavilions are inscribed with plaques, although the penmanship is not as good as the main hall of the "stream far away moon long", but the essence of the meaning is roughly the same. The small pavilion where Lin Ze and Qiao He are located also has a plaque, entitled: One Period, One Meeting.
One period and one meeting, it can also be regarded as a blend of scenes.
Lin Ze sighed with emotion in his heart, thinking that at the moment, this Qiao girl followed the etiquette very much, was cautious in her words and deeds, and did not dare to exceed half a point, she was afraid that she was more than shy in the eyes of others, but in Lin Ze's eyes, she was too restrained, and it seemed that she was very different from the one she thought in her heart. Therefore, it was inconvenient for Lin Ze to insist that she be on an equal footing with him, so he simply followed this red tape in exchange for Miss Qiao's peace of mind, which was still more comfortable.
Qiao He stood on the side and indifferently poured tea and water for Lin Ze. Between the pavilions, the bright eaves are as bright as new, and occasionally the petals of the flower fall down, reflected in the light tea, but it seems to be thick and difficult to let go.
"Has Your Highness's injuries healed?"
"I'm still in good health, but I've forgotten everything before. ”
Hearing this, Qiao He's face suddenly sank, abandoned the tea set at hand, and knelt on the ground again. Seeing this, Lin Ze didn't know why at all, but he didn't know what to do.
"His Royal Highness is merciful and martial, and he has saved his life for Qiao He, and he has never thanked him, if His Royal Highness does not dislike it, Qiao He is willing to repay him with his life......"
"Wouldn't that be in vain? Get up, and to live is to be rewarded. ”
This sentence "live" is of great significance to Lin Ze, too many strange things have happened in just one month, and every one of them is a life-and-death matter. The body of Jiuhan is only about a teenager, and he is still young and immature, although Lin Ze, who controls this body, is only in his twenties and halfs, his heart is like a person who has gone through vicissitudes of life.
Interestingly, Lin Ze's mental activities are very secretive, and he doesn't expect Miss Qiao, who has just gotten up, to understand the deep meaning of "live". Who knew that Qiao He, who had always been cautious, was so bold at this moment, staring at Lin Ze who was slightly melancholy with a pair of eyes, as if he was deeply aware of the confusion, confusion, fear and loneliness in his heart. Lin Ze only felt that he was about to be penetrated by Qiao He's gaze, and his calm emotions instantly rippled.
"It would be a blessing if we could truly forget everything in this world......
Listening to Qiao He's seemingly intentional and unintentional comfort, Lin Ze suddenly lost control of his emotions, he stared at Qiao He's face tightly, so familiar, so close to Chi Qi, he couldn't help but have a sour nose, the stars and tears actually filled his eyes, and his hands clenched into fists under the stone table, as if the next moment, he was about to rush forward and hug her into his arms.
"Actually, I ......"
