Ying Zheng slowly opened his eyes.

"I ...... Can I move? ”

Ying Zheng's face was full of joy, but this joy immediately turned into endless horror.

For some reason, he turned into an old man, with gray hair, dry skin, and fingers as dull as dead branches.

Although Ying Zheng is nearly fifty years old, as the lord of a country, although he is tired, he does not have to work hard under the scorching sun like the poor people.

Although there is white hair, it is more of a jet-black dense black hair.

But now, Ying Zheng touched the sparse white hair on the top of his head, and the whole person was extremely frightened.

He did wake up, but what was the matter with this body? How did he become like this?

"What are you doing in a daze, old man, let's go!"

"Let's go? Where to go? ”

Before Yingzheng could speak, he was dragged forward by the crowd.

Only after listening to the words of other people did he realize that they were exiles who had escaped from forced labor.

Along the way, he didn't even have to drink saliva, and his old and dilapidated body made it impossible for him to bear such an ordeal.

After just half a day of walking, blood blisters appeared on the soles of his feet.

But he couldn't stop, because he was caught by the officers and soldiers, and he only died!

But where to go? Where to go? When is it a head?

No one knows, no one asks, they just move forward numbly, seeking a hope of survival.

The blood blisters on the soles of the feet have been worn out layer after layer, but the physical pain is not comparable to the mental torment.

Because he found that these people who were forced into exile were not prisoners of war, not slaves, and not sinners.

They are just ordinary people who live normally under the rule of Great Qin.

But the perennial conquest, the population is already withering, coupled with the attitude of Daqin not treating people as people, the perennial construction has long been exhausted by the consumable population.

But His Majesty's orders could not be disobeyed, so that the work that should have been done by slaves, sinners, and prisoners of war was gradually divided among the people and the common people.

The older Ying Zheng gets, the closer he gets to death, the more difficult the people's lives become.

Who wants to abandon their hometown and become a homeless person if it is not a last resort?

Ying Zheng still couldn't hold on in the end, and this kind of high-intensity escape was too difficult for an old man of his age.

Just the next day, he began to have a high fever due to an infection caused by the rupture of the blister, and he was already unconscious in the afternoon.

……

When Yingzheng woke up again, he became an ordinary peasant child.

This family has no skills, they have been digging in the yellow earth all their lives, and although the taxes are becoming more and more stringent, even if they are hungry, they will honestly pay all the taxes that should be paid.

It's just that in this way, their lives are becoming more difficult.

In the first year, the youngest son of the family did not survive, and in the second year, due to malnutrition, the wife of the family died in childbirth.

Fortunately, the child born seems to be a person with a big life, and he is lucky to grow up.

What makes Ying Zheng even more fortunate is that this third child is also a boy.

It's not that he doesn't like girls, it's just that for the current Yingzheng, adult boys are obviously more helpful.

But even so, disaster struck unexpectedly.

Great Qin wanted to build the Great Wall, build the Lishan tomb for the emperor, and build the spiritual canal......

These require a lot of manpower, so the number of people around me began to decrease one by one.

Finally, one day, it was their family's turn, first the eldest son, then him, and finally the younger son.

There is only one elderly mother left in Yingzheng's family, who works hard in the farmland.

Life as a laborer is not easy, and it is not uncommon to not have enough to eat.

Later, he inquired that the eldest son had gone to repair the Lishan Tomb, the younger son had gone to repair the spiritual canal, and he himself was building the Great Wall.

Ying Zheng has no time to think about the unreasonableness of this, and he has no time to think about what he should do.

He only knew that this family would not survive.

In order to ensure that the tomb is not known to tomb thieves, all the craftsmen who participated in the construction of the Lishan tomb, and even the people's husbands, will eventually become the burial companions of Yingzheng.

Needless to say, it is a luxury to be able to survive the heavy labor, not to mention the dangerous work of building water conservancy.

There is no one to support him at home, and sooner or later his mother will starve to death at home, and he himself ...... I couldn't hold on early.

……

Opening his eyes again, Ying Zheng found that he had become an ordinary soldier in Great Qin.

I thought that my life would be better this time, but the result still did not change.

Ying Zheng followed the army of Great Qin to fight in all directions, seeing that the Qin State had become Great Qin, and seeing the six kings Bi Sihaiyi.

But what does all this have to do with him as an ordinary soldier?

Ying Zheng thought that this time, he would spend his life like this, but things changed after all.

When he heard that the First Emperor had died and that Hu Hai had not yet ascended the throne, he sent someone to the border pass to send an edict.

Fusu believed it was true and cried to himself.

After Hu Hai ascended the throne, it intensified, and dozens of his brothers and sisters were all murdered.

All of them were killed by Hu Hai's casual excuses.

Many people died in a miserable state, and seeing all this with their own eyes, Yingzheng was in great pain.

Hu Hai's atrocities were soon met with retribution.

The already crumbling Great Qin collapsed overnight under Hu Hai's atrocities.

Ying Zheng saw the uprising of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang with his own eyes, and saw the people suffering under Hu Hai's tyranny.

Ying Zheng ruled the world, originally wanted to bring long-term peace to the people, but the result was the opposite, without war, Daqin became a new shadow on the people's heads.

Before that, the pawns of the common people were just a number for Yingzheng, a number that could be discarded at any time when necessary.

It doesn't matter if some people die when they build the Great Wall, in order to resist the Huns, it doesn't matter if they die some people when they build a spiritual canal, this is for the people's livelihood, in order to dredge the canal, the people should be grateful to Dade.

Afang Palace, Lishan Tomb? I have worried all my life for the people of the world and achieved the great cause of the supreme through the ages, am I not allowed to enjoy it after I die?

Ying Zheng felt that everything he got was deserved.

But when he became a pawn of the people and a grain of sand under the times, he finally realized that his casual words fell on the heads of the people, and it was an insurmountable mountain.

It was only at this moment that Ying Zheng finally said to Qin Tian what the four words of blame meant.

"Great Qin...... Daqin ......"

A trace of tears crossed the corner of Ying Zheng's eyes on the sickbed.

One cannot transcend the limitations of the times, let alone recognize things other than oneself.

But Qin Tian's dream method made Ying Zheng perceive things that he would never know in his life.

Thousands of miles away, a glimmer of realization flashed in Qin Tian's eyes.

The spells he used were very simple, they were nothing more than a dream, and even cultivators who were just getting started could use them.

But if you want to weave an absolutely real dream for the dreamer, so that people can't feel half of the illusion, is the real difficulty.

Qin Tian could weave a short dream that was so delicate that ordinary people couldn't find it at all, as if the other party really had this experience.

But he couldn't weave such a long-lasting dream.

This is the memory of several people for nearly a hundred years, and there are so many people and things involved.

However, Qin Tian used a trick, he made Ying Zheng a bystander, quietly feeling everything that happened in the outside world.

For the environment of the dream realm, Qin Tian did not do too much carving.

The human brain has the idea of self-improvement, which is simply association.

The so-called hieroglyphs, shapes, these are the results of the human brain.

So you only need to put Ying Zheng in a familiar environment, and those unreasonable things around you, Ying Zheng's brain will automatically improve it.

It was also through Ying Zheng that Qin Tiancai gradually perfected his understanding of Huangliang Yimeng.

The so-called one law can be used for ten thousand laws, although Qin Tian can't do it now, but through various exercises, he can quickly achieve ten thousand laws.

All laws are one, but I don't know where the one that belongs to Qin Tian is.

In Huang Liang's dream, Ying Zheng was still suffering in the world, but Qin Tian woke up early.

Although he is a spellcaster, as a weaver of dreams, he will also be forced to go through what Yingzheng has experienced.

After all, these are memories and stories he has made up.

It's just that unlike Ying Zheng, he can be very soberly aware that everything he has experienced is actually illusory.

Unless he can concoct a dream that he can't even recognize.

"Sure enough, this method doesn't work." Qin Tian shook his head slightly.

He originally wanted to take this opportunity to see if he could refine his heart in the red dust through such means.

The facts clearly told him that it was not the right way to cut corners.

He could indeed refine his mind through this method, and even easily advance to a higher realm.

But the ascension of the realm brought about by such illusory heart refining is also vain.

If he really uses this method to complete the refining of the mind, then his subsequent cultivation will be like water without a source, a rootless ping, and everything will be built on the illusion.

It's okay to say that it's going well, but if he encounters any setbacks, his perfect Dao heart will shatter like glass.

Not to mention the demons that may be encountered in the future.

No matter how superb a deception is, it can't perfectly deceive one's heart.

Even if you think you've deceived yourself, the demons won't lie to you at the threshold on the path of cultivation.

"Really, do you still need to walk in this red dust in the end?" Qin Tian shook his head slightly.

Only if you have it can you understand the truth of loss, and if you have not gone through the red dust, how can you talk about the red dust refining the heart?

How can we talk about detachment from the world if we have not experienced the world?

No matter how much cultivation is against the sky, in the final analysis, practitioners are also part of the world.

No one can completely detach themselves from the world.

Even cultivators need to dress and eat, which of these things is not from the world?

Even if you cultivate and weave your own cloth, but that kind of fertilizer, doesn't it still come from all living beings?

This is also the biggest difference between the immortals and other idol clay sculptures in mythology, although they pursue freedom and transcendence, they do not deny the power of the world.

Coming from the world and going to the world, only then can you finally find the great freedom you want.

Looking at everything Ying Zheng had experienced, a flash of realization flashed in Qin Tian's eyes.

The refining of the heart he needs may be sealed on Ying Zheng, and sealed on the Great Qin that will be destroyed.

Ying Zheng couldn't tell if this was really false, and after walking in this yellow sorghum dream, he had already completed the red dust refining he needed.

Therefore, Qin Tian decided to help Yingzheng.

Originally, Ying Zheng and the elixir had no chance, and according to Qin Tian's habits, he would never make another move.

But now, since the refining of the heart that he has to go through will finally fall on Yingzheng...... In other words, it was the Great Qin under the command of Ying Zheng, so Qin Tian didn't mind giving the other party a little help.

That's all he can do, to be exact.

Because if he doesn't help Yingzheng survive, then where will his heart refining foothold fall?

Qin Tian was not unhappy because of this restriction.

Because he was born in this era, he is a person of this era, so it is natural that his refining heart will fall on Daqin, the center of gravity of luck in this era.

"I see, I see, I ...... so"

Qin Tian looked up at the moon, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Cultivation is to go against the heavens, and this sentence is true, heaven and earth will not allow the appearance of immortal creatures, let alone the appearance of creatures beyond the way of heaven.

That's why practice is said to be against the sky.

However, the so-called rebellion against the heavens does not mean that the cultivators have no brains to go against the heavens and the earth, and do what they want, nor does it mean that the cultivators can release the sins in their hearts without any scruples.

Going against the sky is not the ultimate goal of immortals, the most important thing in practicing is to cultivate words.

What matters is the process, not the consequences of the process.

Going against the sky, transcending heaven and earth, and transcending the way of heaven are just the incidental results of cultivating immortals, and the real purpose of cultivation is to transcend oneself and find great freedom.

To put it simply, you don't need to be stronger than the Heavenly Dao, you don't need to be stronger than anyone else, you just need to go further than your self yesterday.

Taking a step closer than yesterday's self is the most solid step on the path of cultivation.

At the same time, it also means that cultivators don't have to be too hostile to everything in the human world, even the Heavenly Dao.

Understanding the way of heaven, following the way of heaven, understanding the law of development of things, following the law of development of things, just like cultivation, move forward step by step, so that we can go to the highest step by step.

These perceptions are mysterious and specious, Qin Tian can only know the meaning, but he can't tell them.

When he can clearly explain the Tao in his heart and his cultivation path, I am afraid that he will not be far from becoming a true immortal.

Qin Tian didn't expect that just a simple dream would allow him to gain so much enlightenment on the path of cultivation.

As a result, he strengthened his determination to enter the WTO and practice.

"When this is the case, we will prepare to go down the mountain and join the WTO."
