Chapter 1 When I woke up, the whole world changed
In early summer, in the early morning, the golden sun shines on the bluestone slabs, and the quiet streets begin to welcome the commercial pedestrians.
The shops on both sides of the street are lined up, carved railings and painted buildings, dragon horns and cornices, whether it is the signboard banners of the shops, or the sparkling cars and horses, the endless flow of pedestrians, and the willows waving in the wind, under the shroud of the sun, they all seem to have a dream-like look.
A prosperous city and half a city smoke, how many people in the world are drunk and immortal.
Although the quiet ancient city has just survived the war, it is still as prosperous as ever.
Now it is the eighth year of the Tang Dynasty, the brutal Emperor Yang of Sui has been overthrown, and the new emperor Li Yuanwen has become a martial artist and is politically honest. Although Huayuan County is not as good as Luoyang and Chang'an, it is also under the jurisdiction of Jingzhao Mansion and has its own prosperous scene.
With a bit of hazy and poetic, this ancient city gradually awakens, and the streets are filled with faces that are either green, elegant, fresh, or sophisticated, as if to form a colorful and rich picture.
But there is one difference.
Under the weeping willows in front of a medical center on the corner of the street, a circle of people gathered. They were men and women, young and old, richly dressed or poorly dressed. But without exception, they all had ruddy faces and relaxed expressions, obviously not here to see the disease.
When I got closer, I found that in the crowd, at the foot of the weeping willow, there was a young Taoist lying down.
It is said that people are young, but it is not necessarily true.
But seeing that although he is only twenty-four or five, he has white hair, but he looks like an old man. The Taoist robe on the body is luxurious, the light blue robe, the collar and cuffs are inlaid with the piping of silver silk edge flowing cloud pattern, the waist is tied with a blue auspicious cloud wide-edged brocade belt, and the head wears a small silver crown inlaid with gold and jade, which is gentle and elegant and chic for the Taoist. On the left hand side is a white cloth wrap, I don't know what valuables are contained in it, on the right hand side is a whisk of dust, and there is a sword behind him. On the whole, I don't know if it's a born son or a fairy who has entered the world.
It's a pity that the Taoist looks ordinarily tight, and his eyes are closed, not like he is asleep, but like he has encountered something unexpected and fainted.
Although there was a lot of speculation in the crowd, no one caught up.
This person is dressed so extraordinary, if he accidentally hates him, although the county order loves the people like a son, it is impossible to say that it is invincible to people outside the world, and it cannot protect them.
After all, this Taoist priest is a figure with a good face at first glance, although the Taoist does nothing, the immortals are merciful, but there is not a kind of Taoist priest in the world who is called the demon Tao?
Time passed slowly, and onlookers walked and came. Finally, a splashy looked at the package in the Taoist's hand, couldn't hold back the greed in his heart, and slowly moved forward.
The crowd scolded for a while, but if you can just scold it, then it can't be called a splash.
Seeing that the splashing skin had arrived in front of the Taoist, some onlookers finally couldn't help but stand up, wanting to be the chivalrous ranger.
Suddenly!
Daoren's eyelashes twitched, and his eyes opened suddenly.
Splashy was startled, and crawled back into the crowd, causing everyone to laugh. He was angry and scolded, but he didn't dare to make trouble because of the large number of people, so he was so ashamed that he retreated.
Zhang Xuanqing woke up from a coma, and at first sight, he saw such a scene.
What's going on?
Yourself this is ...... Joined the crew?
As soon as this thought arose, he immediately rejected it.
Although the streets, buildings, costumes, and crowds are full of strong ancient style. But there is no camera equipment!
Neither did the staff!
And there are no directors, field staff and other staff, just say that the circle of "actors" around him, one by one does not know which dialect he speaks, in short, he can't understand a word.
If it weren't for the italic Chinese characters of "Jishitang" hanging on the side of the medical hall, he would have thought that he had crossed the other world.
Wait a minute...... Through?
Zhang Xuanqing's face turned pale suddenly, it was impossible to travel through the other world, what about traveling through ancient times? Recalling the memory before he fell into a coma last night, his body couldn't help but tremble faintly.
Yesterday, he set up a stall to tell fortunes and made a small profit, but on the way home, he was "chased and killed" by a barbecue stall owner who he once pitted. Later, he ran to an intersection, kicked a lamppost as if venting, and then ...... An old Taoist priest fell from the sky!
"No, an ancient mirror fell from the lamp pole, and an old Taoist priest was sealed in the ancient mirror......"
"No! It's ......."
"Forget it, in short, that old Taoist priest said that he was the 'Fire Dragon True Person' of the 'Hidden Immortal Sect', and he was victimized by a traitor, and the Yuan Shen was sealed in the secret treasure of the master's 'Youxian Mirror'. And to help him get out of trouble, he has to fulfill his three wishes. ”
The corners of Zhang Xuanqing's mouth twitched when he thought of this, and he didn't know whether to cry or laugh: at that time, he thought that he had met a colleague, and the other party was also a charlatan, after all, three wishes were too low. In the end, he couldn't refuse, and casually said two wishes: immortality, immortality, and immortality, the old Taoist priest can't be satisfied, and he wants him to change again, he is impatient to be entangled, and directly said My biggest wish is for you to die, die far away.
And then...... Then the old Taoist priest died.
At that time, he found that the old Taoist priest had talked to him before, and his feet were floating, and under his feet, there was an antique treasure mirror.
When he said his third wish, the treasure mirror under the old Taoist priest's feet erupted with a strong light, tearing the old Taoist priest to pieces.
Immediately afterward, the bright light did not retract, but shone on him again.
He didn't know what happened next, only that when the bright light rose, he turned around and wanted to run, but then the strong light shone on him, and his body suddenly couldn't move.
And then ...... Then he seemed to be hit the back of the head, and then he fainted. When I wake up again, that's what I'm looking for.
"So my third wish has come true?" Zhang Xuanqing couldn't complain, he didn't care if the old Taoist priest was dead or alive, he wanted to know what was going on now!
If you want to make a wish, he doesn't have a wish to cross?
"Or ...... In fact, the old Taoist priest had to fulfill my three wishes, not voluntarily, but as a link to escape the 'seal'? After all, if he let him die, he would die, how could there be such obedient people in the world. Instead...... That's right, the Immortal Mirror!"
Zhang Xuanqing suddenly felt a spirit, looked down and looked around, and saw the empty ground. In the distance, there are a pair of feet of different sizes, and ...... Dense thighs.
The people around him haven't left yet!
When he looked up, he saw everyone pointing at him and whispering something to each other, but he couldn't understand a word.
Everywhere he looked, the sound of discussion suddenly subsided, this look at that, that look at this, you push me, I push you, no one stepped forward, and it seemed that he was very scheming.
What about the so-called Immortal Mirror?
Picked up?
Zhang Xuanqing didn't pay attention to the people around him, anyway, he couldn't understand what they said, and he didn't understand what he said, so it was important to find the "culprit" at the moment.
But even if he searched everywhere and rummaged through his body, he didn't find the "Immortal Mirror" in the mouth of the old Taoist priest.
Fortunately, he didn't lose his clothes, and he didn't lose the package, these two things are the guys he eats: inside the package are fortune-telling books such as "I Ching", "Mai Shenxiang", "Plum Blossom Easy Counting", and the clothes are stolen by him from a Xianxia crew.
In this way, the mirror should not have been picked up. After all, there are books in his package, but others don't know, and instead of taking the package, he takes a broken mirror, so he shouldn't be such a stupid thief.
He rummaged through the crowd from the outside, and in walked in an old butler, four servants, followed by a carriage.
The carriages were rich and rich, made of mahogany, and the curtains were all expensive and exquisite silk. Even the clothes on the groom are better than those of ordinary people, which shows the nobility of the master's family.
The old butler walked up to Zhang Xuanqing with four servants, gave him a deep look, and performed an ancient etiquette, saying: "!@#¥%*......"
Zhang Xuanqing: "......" replied with a blank face.
The old housekeeper said: "!@#¥%*......"
Zhang Xuanqing: "......" is still at a loss.
Perhaps it was a misunderstanding, the old housekeeper looked urgent and pleading, and bowed deeply to Zhang Xuanqing again.
Zhang Xuanqing said that no matter how polite he is, it doesn't work, and if he doesn't understand, he can't understand.
However, his ability to tell fortunes and face each other is not learned in vain, at least it is a piece of cake to observe words and feelings! Although I can't understand what the old butler is saying, looking at the old butler's expression, I can guess that he has something to ask for.
Suddenly, Zhang Xuanqing stood up, his waist straightened, he didn't forget to carry the burden on the ground in his hand, and his other hand habitually swung the dust, making a high-minded expression, and said: "!@#¥%*......"
Well, he forgot, and the other party didn't understand what he said.
Seeing that the old housekeeper's face was full of confusion, Zhang Xuanqing pointed to his mouth, waved his hand, pointed to his ear, and waved his hand again, and the old housekeeper suddenly understood: it turned out that he had met a deaf and mute person.
It's a shame that Zhang Xuanqing doesn't know what he's thinking, otherwise he would have to slap him with a big mouth.
The old butler hesitated again at this time, frowned and pondered for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth, bent down and stretched out his hand, and led towards the carriage, which means: Please ask the Taoist to get on the carriage.
Of course, this sentence was made up by Zhang Xuanqing himself, but the meaning is not far from the same when I think about it.
Looking at the carriage not far away, and then at the old housekeeper, Zhang Xuanqing also muttered in his heart: This posture is either rich or expensive when you "invite" yourself, and it's okay, if you don't have bad intentions, or you can't solve it yourself......
Looking up at the sky, it was almost noon, and touching his empty stomach again, Zhang Xuanqing gritted his teeth with hatred: Damn!
The people take food as the sky, and from last night to now, he has not touched a drop of water, a drop of rice has not entered, and he has to break through regardless of whether the other party is Longtan or a tiger's den. Otherwise, if he misses this village, he is not familiar with the place, and he has no place to eat.
After getting into the carriage, Zhang Xuanqing quietly waited for the scene he was about to face with a trace of apprehension, a trace of the complicated mood of being dead and immortal for thousands of years.
