I don't know how long it took, but Zhu Chongba finally opened his eyes.

The strong sunlight shone on him, shaking him so much that he could barely see anything, he rubbed his eyes, only to see that he was still lying on the official road in front of Famen Temple, and then looked up and down at himself, he was still unkempt and ragged.

There is an endless stream of pilgrims and pedestrians passing by on the official road, and many people are curious to look at this monk who is lying on the official road and sleeping, and some people are whispering, why is there such a sloppy monk in Famen Temple who does not abide by the rules and precepts.

Zhu Chongba has endured people's cold words since he was a child, and of course he turned a blind eye to these.

He stood up and shook the dust off his body. Looking back at the mountain gate of Famen Temple, I couldn't help but hesitate, obviously I saw the chasing soldiers behind me chasing after me, why did I disappear again? How did I lie here alone and unharmed? By the way, what time is it now, and how long have I been asleep?

Thinking of this, Zhu Chongba hurriedly went up, wanting to ask the passers-by around him what time it was. chased and asked more than a dozen people in a row, and everyone avoided him, where would they still be willing to say a word to this sloppy crazy monk.

Helpless, there was nothing left and right, Zhu Chongba patted his sleeves and strode towards Famen Temple.

This Zhu Chongba is the young monk who appeared on the official road of Famen Temple. Nowadays, the status of the Han people is extremely low, the people are divided into four classes, and the Han people under the Mongol rule, especially the Nanren, are untouchables. The Mongols enjoyed all the property of the Han and other ethnic groups without labor, and only one donkey was required to kill a Nanren. The reason why the northerners are still a little higher is simply because they have been killed and there are not many left. Han Chinese can't even have a name, they can only use their date of birth, they can't own weapons, and even a kitchen knife must be shared by several families. The heavy servitude, coupled with the continuous famine, the common people are poor and destitute, and life is worse than death.

Zhu Chongba was born in the first year of the Tianli calendar, and was born exactly eight catties and eight taels, at that time, the Han people were so lowly that they didn't even have a name, and they all used numbers as a code name, so Zhu Chongba's name came from this.

When Zhu Chong was 85 years old, there was a drought in his hometown of Haozhou. Unexpectedly, in the spring of the following year, there was a serious locust plague and plague, and Zhu Chong's eight families were also infected with the plague, and in less than half a month, his father, eldest brother and mother Chen died one after another. Only Zhu Yuanzhang and his second brother were left, and the family had no money to buy a coffin, not even a piece of land to bury their relatives, and their neighbor Brother Liu gave them a cemetery. The two brothers found a few pieces of torn clothes to wrap the body and buried their parents on the land of the Liu family. In order to survive, Zhu Chongba and his second brother, sister-in-law and nephew were forced to separate and escape.

Zhu Chongba was desperate, so he went to Huangjue Temple, shaved his rank as a monk in the temple, and became a small novice. He swept the floor, put on incense, beat bells and drums, cooked rice and washed clothes in the temple every day, and endured the cold words of the old monks in the temple. Soon, the food in the Huangjue Temple was not enough for the monks to eat, the people were poor and starved to death, and the temple could not get any alms for a long time. In this way, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was only seventeen years old, had only been a novice for fifty days, and he had to disguise himself as a wandering monk, leave the monastery, and beg and wander around.

Zhu Chongba begged for a living without purpose, after leaving his hometown Haozhou, he went all the way south to Luzhou, which was also suffering from war at that time, so he left Luzhou in a hurry, and went north through the Central Plains, to Gushi, Xinyang, and then north to Ruzhou, Chenzhou and other places, and finally came to Chang'an City.

During his wanderings, Zhu Chongba traveled all over Dayi, the famous capital of the Central Plains, came into contact with the customs and customs of various places, saw the world, broadened his horizons, and accumulated experience in social life. The arduous wandering life forged Zhu Chongba's resolute and resolute character, but it also made him cruel and suspicious.

Along the way, people everywhere revolted against the brutality of the Mongol authorities. Zhu Chongba felt at a loss, on this day, he heard that the Famen Temple in Chang'an City was the Central Plains Temple, and he was also a monk in half of the traveling party, so he came to the Famen Temple.

On the road, I was really hungry, so I secretly grabbed a few steamed buns from the side of the street, but I didn't expect the officers and soldiers behind to chase all the way to Famen Temple.

In fact, it was already noon the next day, and after Zhu Chongba was stunned by the two loud noises, he lay on the official road for a full twelve hours.

However, no one knows, including Zhu Chongba himself, after the red light on the Vermilion Bird Gate possessed, Zhu Chongba's fate has undergone earth-shaking changes, and he is destined to affect the success or failure of the world in the future.

At this time, outside the Gouchen Heavenly Palace, far above the Nine Heavens, there was a long-bearded Taoist holding a golden wire whisk waiting anxiously outside the palace.

After a long time, the palace gate slowly opened, and two Taoist boys with their heads in double buns walked out one after the other.

"How is it, has the Emperor seen me?" asked the long-bearded Taoist anxiously.

A Taoist boy bowed and said: "Tell the Heavenly Master, the Heavenly Emperor just issued an order saying that the Heavenly Machine has changed abruptly, and the fortune has changed, he has already knew, let the Heavenly Master be calm and not be impatient, and temporarily return to the palace." ”

"But. The long-bearded Daoist wanted to speak again, but nodded and said, "Ge Hong respectfully obeys the decree of the Heavenly Emperor. As he spoke, he turned around and wanted to retreat.

The Taoist boy said again: "Heavenly Master, the Emperor of Heaven also told that the calamity is coming, and the people and gods have their own destiny. ”

The long-bearded Taoist was originally the Ge Hong Heavenly Master of the Nine Heavens, Ge Hong Heavenly Master Jin Dan entered the Tao, the gains and losses of the outside world, the internal cultivation of the immortals for health, and the creation of the Lingbao Taoist School, which had already entered the Tao and became an immortal in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

Master Ge Hong silently recited it a few times, and said, "Ge Hong obeys the order." As he spoke, his figure flickered and disappeared into the boundless clouds.

The two Taoist children watched Ge Hong leave, and then they walked into the Heavenly Palace, and the door outside the palace slowly closed again.

On the cloud bed in the heavenly palace, a young man wearing a red and black embroidered six-star dragon robe was sitting with his eyes closed, in fact, only he knew that his heart was turning upside down, just now, Ge Hong's secret report coincided with the fortune he figured out by himself.

The red-whiskered fire dragon broke free from the shackles and left the Hantan Crystal Palace was his arrangement, but what he didn't expect was that the praying mantis caught the cicada, and the yellow finch was behind, and someone actually used himself, and he worked hard to make the luck of the Zhao family rise, but he was moved by others, and easily transferred his results to others.

Who is this person, or this force? Who dares to oppose himself so blatantly?

Gou Chen Shanggong Emperor is in charge of the north and south poles, in charge of the three talents of heaven, earth and man, the world is one of the four emperors, the heavenly soldiers and generals, there are countless gods, who is the one who dares to use himself behind his back. Emperor Gou Chen suddenly felt that in the darkness, it seemed that there was a terrifying force condensing, and there was a possibility of devouring himself and devouring the heavenly court at any time.

"Where is this?" Liu Feixu opened his eyes and saw himself lying on a large soft bed, and the afternoon sun shone in through the lattice window lattice, forming a beautiful and dexterous shadow on the wall.

The body is warm, and I only feel that the fatigue of several days of running around has disappeared. However, Liu Feixu couldn't take care of this leisure, lifted the quilt and got out of bed, and found that his clothes were all worn in a good manner, so he was slightly relieved.

"Miss, you're awake. As soon as the door opened, a pretty girl came in, with two big eyes inlaid on her round face, which was very flattering.

"Who are you? Where is this?" Liu Feixu calmed down slightly, and the things before he passed out came back to his mind little by little. I just feel that the back of my head is still aching.

"This is the capital. Miss Liu. My name is Qinghong, and the young master ordered me to serve you. Qinghong smiled, and two dimples appeared on her face in the distance.

"Where is this? Who is your young master?" Liu Feixu looked around, only to see that the bedroom he was in was not very big, but it was very clean, and he lived alone, the window lattices and doors were made to look like books, and there was a large bed outside the room, which was surrounded by a large bookcase along the wall, which was full of various books. Liu Feixu looked at it, and there were many unique engraved books mixed in, obviously, the owner of this bedroom was a book lover.

Looking down further, Liu Feixu's brows couldn't help frowning. There are dozens of cloth bags and baskets stacked on the floor, which are filled with all kinds of bronzes, porcelain and some unknown things, Yaya forks, it seems that someone has quickly cleaned up, but the person who cleaned up should be in a hurry, so he just packed up those messy things, and didn't even have time to take out the bedroom. Could it be that the owner of this bedroom is still a lover of collecting all kinds of strange things?

"Miss Liu, this is Ye Gongzi's study, and sometimes it is also used as a bedroom, hehe. The red girl smiled and revealed two deep dimples, "All along, we haven't allowed our maids to go in, even the lord and wife rarely go in." ”

It turned out to be Ye Boyu's study, Liu Feixu completely relieved his heart, smiled at Qinghong, and asked, "What's mysterious here, why don't you let you in?"

"Then we don't know if we're maids. Hee-hee. The big eyes of the red girl quickly looked at Liu Feixu's body, and then said: "Miss Liu, when Ye Gongzi was leaving, he specially instructed me to take care of you with all my might. Whatever thou hast commanded, let me be thou shalt be. ”

"What? He's gone, where did he go?" Liu Feixu asked hurriedly without caring about anything else.

"We don't know about this. Qinghong shook her head and said, "However, he said before leaving that he will be back soon." ”
