The light of the oil lamp was dim, and it was estimated that it was about to burn out.

A teenager was still studying hard under the lamp.

He was about fourteen or fifteen years old, dressed in coarse cloth with patches on them.

It wasn't until he could barely read the words that he raised his head, stretched out his arms, and stretched out a big lazy waist. Then he closed the book, and the cover of the book was revealed, which read—"Literacy Song."

He stood up, walked over and pushed open the window. Although he moved lightly, the creaking of the dilapidated windows was especially noticeable in the silence of the night.

The window is facing east. The sky was already slightly white.

He shook his head slightly.

Then he untied his clothes and slept on a very narrow wooden bed.

This young man's name is Ah Fu. To be precise, he is no longer Ah Fu now, but Dong Xiaoping.

Dong Xiaoping was originally an ordinary young man living in China in the 21st century. He graduated from a second-rate university and got a job as a special effects engineer. But before he could do it for a year, after a drunkenness, he found that he had crossed over, crossed over to Ah Fu, who had just died suddenly, and fused his memories.

Ah Fu's memory is not long, it is very simple, maybe unfortunate, maybe happy.

He's a subordinate.

He was an orphan left by the homeless people during the famine, and was taken in and raised by a wealthy family surnamed Qin. The life of the subordinate is definitely not very good, but because he was raised by the master's family since he was a child and knows the roots, the Qin family still values him more.

The Qin family is a famous family within a radius of several hundred miles, with 3,000 acres of fertile land, and the old man Qin is even more of a Dazai.

But seeing that Master Qin is old, the Qin family is now facing the dilemma of having no successor. It's not that Master Qin doesn't have a son, how can I say it, he has half a son.

Why say half? Because no one can say for sure whether she/he is a man or a woman.

She/his name is Qin Chuyu.

When she/he was born, the family looked like a handle, and it was very rare. It's not that Master Qin doesn't have other children, it's just that they are all girls, and the family looks forward to the stars and the moon, and they look forward to a boy. So the whole family is very rare about him, and everything good is close to him.

However, when he grew up a little, the family discovered a strange thing. That is, she/his personality is very strange, she/he is not mischievous like a boy, but very dignified and delicate like a girl.

Later, as she/he grew up day by day, not only did she have a strange personality, but her voice, appearance, and figure became more and more feminine, and even her breasts began to develop. In addition to having a little brother, she is a girl no matter how you look at it, and she is also a particularly beautiful girl.

Qin Chuyumei is very beautiful, but the family is in a hurry, she/he was obviously born a boy, why did she become a girl when she grew up? In this world, yin is yin and yang, and men are men and women, so isn't she/he not a man or a woman? If it is spread outside, everyone must not say that the Qin family has a demon, how can she inherit the Qin family's family business?

So, they ordered Qin Chuyu to dress up as a boy, learn to speak as a boy, and not touch anything that girls like.

Not only that, but they are also constantly looking for all kinds of home remedies for her/him to eat, this kind of work does not work and that kind of change, almost Qin Chuyu takes medicine every day.

It's a pity that it didn't work, but she/he grew more and more delicate, and her personality became more and more gentle and lovely.

The Qin family was almost desperate, until three years ago, a master passed by the Qin family, and when he saw Qin Chuyu, he said to the Qin family that this child had a fairy fate, and gave him a token made of jade, so that he could go to Qingbo Lake in Wanguo to worship the immortal gate three years later, and said that she/he was called a boy and a girl, and there was no cure in the world, but maybe the fairy family could have a way.

The family saw hope, and then it stopped.

However, in the past three years, Qin Chuyu has always been confined to his home to avoid bad rumors outside. As soon as the three years passed, the Qin family arranged for her/him to secretly set off to Qingbo Lake in Wanguo.

The country where they are located is the Chen country, and it is thousands of miles to the country of Wan. Qin Chuyu grew up in the courtyard of the deep house since she was a child, and she didn't know much about the outside, so she couldn't go alone, and she needed to arrange a sensible domestic servant to accompany her.

However, the accompanying domestic servants must be loyal and reliable, and the journey is long, and it is necessary to bring a lot of money, which will inevitably lead to greed. The Qin family hesitated for a long time, and finally decided to let Ah Fu be Qin Chuyu's accompanying servant.

Shortly after departure, in the dead of night, Ah Fu suddenly died of epilepsy, and just happened to complete the fusion with Dong Xiaoping, who came through his soul. Since then, Ah Fu has become Dong Xiaoping, and all this is unaware.

When he first crossed over, Dong Xiaoping was very unaccustomed to it, and what language, geographical knowledge, customs and culture, numismatic prices, etc., were different from his previous life. Fortunately, it fused Ah Fu's memories, otherwise he estimated that it would be difficult for him to live even for a month.

As for identity goofs, there is no problem. The Qin family has a big business, and there are hundreds of subordinates, Qin Chuyu was not very familiar with Ah Fu before, so Ah Fu became Dong Xiaoping after that night, and she/he didn't notice it.

The only trouble is that Ah Fu is illiterate. He was just a subordinate who worked as a coolie, and he had never learned to read, so Dong Xiaoping had to learn it himself. Literacy is important because he knows that no matter what, there is no future without literacy. Wouldn't it be embarrassing to give you a cheats that you can't even read?

The text here is similar to the hieroglyphs of Chinese characters, in fact, it is similar to the traditional characters of the previous life, so it is not very difficult to learn, and there are Mongolian masters who have compiled the commonly used characters into a ballad "Literacy Song", similar to the three-character classic of the previous life.

Thankfully, it was easy for him to learn on his own. As long as you know this song, you can recognize the words against it, otherwise you have to go to the Mengxue School. Wouldn't it be shameful to say that you need to travel and talk about having classes with children of a few years old, not to mention that you need to travel.

Dong Xiaoping, who was sleeping on the bed, couldn't help but complain: "I'm also drunk, why can't the text here be simplified, even if it's traditional Chinese? I really didn't expect to work overtime until ten o'clock before the crossing, but I had to work overtime until the next morning after the crossing! Moreover, my great cause of cultivating immortals actually started as a mortal servant, and the key is that I am illiterate, and the lowest starting point among the traversers is me!"

From Qin Chuyu's experience, it can be seen that there should be immortals in this world, or cultivators. The only way out in the Xianxia world is to cultivate immortals, and the best way to cultivate immortals is to go to the immortal gate of Qingbo Lake.

Only when you arrive at the immortal gate can you have a chance to find a chance, otherwise do you have to find a cliff to jump off and test whether you are the protagonist?

When he first crossed over, he knew from Ah Fu's memory that a servant had to do the work every day, and his first reaction was that he was so tired that he was only a servant of you. But after careful consideration, I finally chose to stay. There are three reasons, one is that there is no money, the second is that there is no road guide and customs clearance documents, and the third is that there is no order to worship immortals.

The first question is to say that it can actually be solved, which barren mountain and wild mountain to go to, sneak attack and kill Qin Chuyu, and snatch it away.

But the second and third problems cannot be solved violently in this way. The owner of the road guide and customs clearance documents is Qin Chuyu, which is equivalent to the ID card and passport of the previous life, of course, you can't grab one and use it. Although the name is not written on the immortal worship order, the entire Qin family knows that it only belongs to Qin Chuyu alone, and the specific binding method may be some kind of immortal method.

There is another reason, although this is the world of Xianxia, he doesn't want to kill people unless necessary.

So at present, it seems that he must first do a good job as a servant, and follow Qin Chuyu to Qingbo Lake to cultivate immortals.

So he adapted to the work of a servant every day, carrying luggage, washing clothes, taking care of livestock, driving cars, cooking in the field, setting up tents, and so on. There's no way, the pampered Qin Chuyu basically can't do the same, and often can't help if he wants to. Fortunately, Dong Xiaoping fused Ah Fu's memory, otherwise the two of them could only stare at each other with big eyes.

However, there is one thing to be thankful for, because Qin Chuyu has a gentle personality and never harshly criticizes his subordinates, so the master and servant get along well.

The two have been walking for more than two months now, and they have arrived in the territory of Dachang Kingdom. Dachang is a neighbor of Chen, and its land area is much larger. Looking at it all the way, the people are quite peaceful and the law and order is good, maybe the reigning monarch is a Shengming monarch.

However, even in peaceful years, this road is not easy to walk.

There are no railways or roads in this world, and many of the thousands of miles of roads have to be walked by people, and at most ox carts and donkey carts can be used at most.

And it's not just a matter of long distances, bandits, beasts, natural disasters, diseases, swindlers, black shops, thieves...... Everything is a problem, if there is a war or a plague, most of the master and servant will have to throw their lives on the road.

Therefore, he didn't dare to be careless at all, only by successfully reaching the Immortal Gate with Qin Chuyu was the first step to complete the great cause of cultivating immortals.

As soon as Dong Xiaoping's eyes were closed, he got up again, strangely he was still sluggish and drowsy before closing his eyes, but after opening his eyes, he was refreshed and energetic!

Dong Xiaoping secretly rejoiced: "Although the immortal road is difficult and dangerous, fortunately, I still have this special ability!"

Maybe it's the distortion of time and space caused by time travel, or maybe it's the spiritual mutation caused by soul fusion, what the reason is unknown, and the real answer may never be found, in short, he has obtained a very special ability - time control.

Time control does not mean that time can be reversed, because it will always move forward and will never go backwards, but the speed of time can change.

This ability is to control the speed of time in the whole world, to slow down time, but also to make time faster, just like slow motion and fast motion in movies.

It seems that this is a false proposition: since the time of all things changes at the same time, it does not mean that there is no change at all, after all, time is relative. You change, I change, everyone changes, don't they all change?

But there is one thing that does not belong to this world.

It's Dong Xiaoping!

In other words, he is the only one in the world who will not be affected by the changes in the speed of time.
