Chapter 1: Su Jing
White Yujing in the sky, five cities on the twelfth floor.
The immortals caressed my top, and my hair was immortalized.
......
Pingyang County, Yangzhou, in a delicate and elegant courtyard planted with green bamboos in Sufu, in an antique study room.
The young man with sparse eyebrows and lacquered eyes held an old book in his hand and read aloud.
This young man was dressed in a slightly old green robe, although his figure was a little thin and thin, but his eyes like an abyss ancient pool made people feel good at first sight.
The young man sighed, gently put down the scroll that he didn't know how many times he had turned over, and looked at the sky shrouded by the continuous autumn rain through the window of the study, and a misty color flashed in his eyes, am I Su Jing or Lin Wen?
At this time, the twilight is four, the sky is vast, and the autumn wind blows up the weak rain on the young man's face, and the slightest coolness moistens the young man's heart, which is slightly bored because the two souls have just merged.
What kind of world is this? The Tao is manifested, and the immortal Tao is flourishing. The immortals are no longer legends spread among the mountains and wilderness, but appear in the mundane, and the sword rides the wind above the nine heavens.
Traveling to the north of the twilight, thirsty for mountain dew, food and snow of the fairy life.
Isn't this exactly what I dreamed of for a person who was struggling in the last days of the earth in the afterlife?
In his previous life, as "Lin Wen", he struggled in the gray steel jungle infested with viruses and fierce beasts, fighting for a little food and water.
In the end, he died on the way to find a water source, but his soul was involved in a turbulence of time and space, I don't know how many years of wandering he experienced in the turbulence of time and space, and he was fortunate to be reincarnated in this sixteen-year-old boy named Su Jing.
Since this world can ask the immortals, then he can no longer follow the flow and be mediocre like in his previous life. It wasn't until he struggled for seven years in the last days that he died tragically.
In this life, we must have great perseverance and determination, seek truth from road to road, and find an eternal life!
But before that, let's settle the cause and effect of the body that we have taken away. Thinking of this, Su Jing's eyes were misty, and under the gloomy gaze, he secretly thought in his heart.
At this time, Su Jing or Lin Wen visualized his own soul sea, only to see that his soul was on a boundless black ocean.
This should be the Sea of Souls, and the Soul Reflection Technique that I have comprehended in the turbulence of countless time and space is really useful.
I have been floating in the endless void for countless years, although I have been asleep most of the time, but some of the small skills used by my soul to avoid the storm of time and space when I am awake can still be used.
Su Jing looked at the black ocean under his feet and muttered, "This should be the soul sea formed by people's emotions and memories, and it is also the source of the three souls. ”
Su Jing was above the sea of souls, browsing the memories of the previous sixteen years in the reflection of the sea of souls like watching a slideshow.
The predecessor was a concubine, and his biological mother Liu was originally an Oiran on the banks of the Qinhuai River.
Although the biological mother Liu is outstanding because of her appearance, her poetry and art are accepted as a side room by the head of the Su family. However, due to his humble background and low status, his predecessor was born with congenital deficiencies. And when the biological mother was pregnant, she had fetal gas, so she was weak since childhood.
The greatest wish of the predecessor was to obtain a title for his deceased biological mother after gaining fame. And the autumn is coming, and I have been studying hard all night recently, and I don't want to become sick from hard work. He died suddenly in his study in the middle of the night three days ago.
At this time, Su Jing's soul power was within his reach, and he found that there was no trace of the existence of the three souls of the predecessor in the soul sea.
Presumably, under the impact of his soul that has been tempered by the turbulence of time and space, he should not be spared. Su Jing thought about this, and his heart was relieved.
Man has three souls and seven souls, and the three souls are heaven, earth, and life.
As the proverb goes: "The two souls of heaven and earth are always outside, and only the soul of life lives in them." "After death, the two souls of heaven and earth dissipate between heaven and earth, and the soul returns to the underworld, washes away the memories of the past life, and is reincarnated.
If the soul of this predecessor is still there, and the soul returns to the underworld, it will be difficult for him to give up. Now, the soul of the former body was smashed and fused by himself, and turned into the nourishment of his soul, but there was no risk of exposure.
"Well, what is that?" I saw two black silk threads wrapped above the Soul Sea, extending upwards from the Soul Sea and into nothingness.
"It's ...... Thread of cause and effect!" A voice crossed Su Jing's mind.
It seems that the cause and effect of this seizure are not shallow. These two thin and weak black silk threads are actually the obsession of the predecessor.
One of them is fame. The other is filial piety. This is said to be two things, but in fact it is one, the reason why the predecessor is so absorbed in fame is that after the middle lift, he has the intention of seeking a life for his deceased mother.
The unswerving obsession of the predecessor to death made himself, who had struggled in the last days and had already become cold-hearted, couldn't help but be moved.
But why is this thread of cause and effect black, black? Is this calamity, or is it cause and effect?
This cause and effect seems to be difficult to take! Su Jing not only smiled bitterly in his heart.
But after thinking about it, I took this body by himself, and his luck in his previous life had already been exhausted, so it would be good to have this condition. If you pick and choose, I'm afraid God won't allow it!
So, I'll take this cause and effect! Above the sea of souls, Su Jing muttered.
At this time, Su Jing retracted his mind, and only felt a burst of Su Tai.
I know in my heart that because the obsession is completely gone, the only trace of separation between the body and the soul disappears.
At this time, Su Jing took down an ancient book from the sandalwood bookshelf and was about to flip through it.
At this time, he smelled a fragrance like a rose, Su Jing raised his eyes, and saw a pretty thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl in a blue shirt with two round buns standing at the door of the study.
As soon as the girl in the cardamom years and Su Jing looked at each other, they lowered their heads a little shyly. Bowing to Su Jing Yingying, he raised his head lightly, and said softly: "Young Master Jing, it's time to take the lamp." ”
When Su Jing heard this, he realized that the sky was already dark.
The drizzling rain is long gone. The fresh air after the rain mixed with the cool breeze of the autumn night blew into the study, which shocked Su Jing's spirit.
"There's Miss Law. ”
"Don't dare to be a son, this is the duty of a slave. ”
As she spoke, the blue-shirted girl moved lightly towards a bronze lamp in Su Jing's study. A flint appeared in the palm of the white and warm hand, and without seeing how it moved, a cluster of small jumping flames appeared, leading towards the bronze lamp.
Su Jing watched the girl's movements with interest, and as the blue-shirted girl lit up several candlesticks in the outer courtyard one after another, the room was shrouded in light in an instant.
"What's your name, do you usually take care of my daily life?"
Su Jing suddenly threw two questions at the busy girl.
The girl stared crampedly at her toes, not daring to look up at the pair of abyss-like eyes under the young man's handsome face.
"The slave maid Luzhu is just the candle maid in the courtyard, and it is the Biyun girl who usually takes care of the son's daily life. ”
"Aunt Yun?"
Su Jing searched her memories and found that there was really a woman in her thirties who had been taking care of her daily life. However, it seems that half a month ago, because he was overworked from studying, he got sick, and was reprimanded by Mrs. Sufu for improper care and sent to the stove to do chores.
It is said that "Aunt Yun" is still the personal maid of the previous biological mother. Since the death of his biological mother ten years ago, he has been staying by his predecessor's side to take care of him. It can be said that he has a very strong relationship with his predecessor.
Thinking of this, all kinds of warm moments with "Aunt Yun" when she was a child appeared in Su Jing's mind one by one.
Su Jing was shocked in his heart, and forced himself to suppress the admiration that kept pouring out of his heart.
The blue-shirted girl saw that Su Jing was speechless for a long time, so she glanced at Su Jing with a puzzled look.
Then he saluted and said, "Childe, if there is nothing else, the slave and maid will retire first." ”
After the girl finished speaking, she didn't wait for Su Jing to answer, and walked towards the gate.
Su Jing's faint gaze followed the girl out of the door until she disappeared at the end of her vision.
In the study, a light is like a bean. Su Jing stood tall and jade, closed his eyes and was silent. It seems to be at one with its tranquil surroundings.
Su Jing sneered in his heart, the remnants of his predecessor were really stubborn, Rao was determined to be strong, and he was almost affected by it.
Is it unwilling? When you die, the dust will return to dust, and the soil will return to the earth, what can you do if you are unwilling?
Thinking of this, Su Jing's eyes flashed, his heart moved, and above his head, wisps of ethereal black smoke rose, and as soon as the black smoke was exposed to the air, it formed a face that was no different from Su Jing, and rushed towards Su Jing's heavenly spirit fiercely.
"Stubborn!" Su Jing snorted coldly in his heart.
A burst of soul power surged, emitting clouds of white mist, submerging the face of black smoke, and in an instant, the black smoke disappeared quickly like snow in midsummer.
The bamboo leaves swayed, a gust of wind blew, the white mist and black smoke disappeared, and only a little pale and handsome young man remained.
As soon as the remnant soul disappeared, the last bit of breath of the predecessor disappeared. Only when cause and effect are eliminated can this body be considered completely oneself.
Su Jing's heart was churning with this thought, his eyes were uncertain, and he was clearly focused.
At the same time, a brightly lit courtyard in the back house of the Su Mansion is on top of an octagonal pavilion hidden between the winding corridors.
Three girls with outstanding temperament and appearance sat opposite each other, as if they were talking about something.
One of the three girls is the youngest daughter of Fang Qi, the governor of Yangzhou, and her name is Liuyun.
Fang Liuyun went home to visit his relatives because he asked his master Gu Yuezhen for half a year. Just from the Qixia Sect Feilingdu came to the earthly world after seven years of separation, passing through Pingyang County. Thinking of her sister Su Youlan, who often corresponded here, she transferred to Pingyang and stayed in Su Mansion for a few days.
Fang Liuyun has a pair of eyebrows like a crescent moon, bright eyes and bright teeth, a white complexion, and is wearing a water-green embroidered skirt, and her graceful posture is hidden in the thin embroidered skirt.
At this time, it was autumn, especially on a cold autumn night, Fang Liuyun didn't feel cold. It can be seen that this master disciple of the Qixia Sect Guyue Zhenren has already refined his qi and condensed his true body, and his body has opened his veins.
To Fang Liuyun's left was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old woman wearing a jasper phoenix hairpin and a pale yellow shirt.
Although the woman did not have the graceful bearing of Fang Liuyun's demeanor, there was an indescribable heroic aura between her eyebrows.
Fang Liuyun's eyes flowed, and he suddenly smiled at the blue-shirted girl who had appeared in Su Jing's courtyard before: "Luzhu, why is your face so ruddy, it can't be sick, right?"
"You're sick!" said the blue-shirted girl.
"Green beads, don't be rude. The woman in a pale yellow shirt with a heroic look between her eyebrows frowned.
"Youlan, you don't have to be like this, I like this little girl a lot. Fang Liuyun said softly.
Lu Zhu heard this, and when Su Youlan didn't see it, he stuck out his tongue mischievously to Fang Liuyun.
Fang Liuyun had been practicing alone in Feilingdu Qingyan Peak for a long time, and when he saw this Su family's maidservant girl so naughty, he also had a teasing heart in his heart.
"Then why are you so red after you come back from Master Jing, it can't be that Master Jing is teasing you. As he spoke, he pinched his little face with green beads like mutton fat and white jade with his slender fingers like jade onions.
Lu Zhu hurriedly opened the jade hand on the side of his face with his hand, and said in shame: "Sister Liuyun, what nonsense are you talking about, how can you talk nonsense about the innocence of the girl's family?"
"Okay, sister won't play tricks on you. Tell my sister, what kind of person is that Jing Gongzi, and I heard the people of Su Mansion say that he is a nerd, is it true?" Liuyun asked with curiosity in his eyes.
"I can't say how I feel, it's just that Mr. Jing feels very gentle, and I can't say anything else. Luzhu said softly.
At this time, the rather heroic yellow-shirted girl among the three girls said: "Liuyun, I told you a long time ago, my third brother has always been a scholar who only reads sage books. Nothing surprising.
At this time, Lu Zhu suddenly seemed to think of something, and said: "Oh, although Jing Gongzi is easy-going, I feel that his eyes are very ......."
"What?" Fang Liuyun hurriedly asked, his expression seemed to be eager.
This sentence is used for cultivation, and the divine light is awe-inspiring, staring at the eyes of the green beads.
"I can't say what it feels, but I feel that Jing Gongzi's eyes are very bright, and the slave doesn't dare to look at him. Seeing Fang Liuyun's face, Lu Zhu replied that it was not as casual as just now.
"Oh" After Fang Liuyun said this, his expression returned to the gentle bearing that he had just talked and laughed with the second daughter, as if the moment that was as sharp as a sword light just now was just an illusion.
"That's the kind of gaze just now. This sentence only sounded in Luzhu's heart, and he did not say it.
Su Youlan looked at this scene, her eyes wandering, thoughtful.
