Fang Chang and Li Hu, who were recuperating in the Cheng Mansion, were sent to the palace by Cheng Kai.
As for the Yuwen family's affairs, Cheng Kai has already set his sights on them.
After all, the head of the Yuwen family was a high official in the court. Even Cheng Kai couldn't kill them for no reason.
This is the imperial system.
But Cheng Kai also said that he would make the Yuwen family disappear in Chang'an City in as little as a year and a half, or as slowly as two or three years.
Likewise, this is also the confidence of an emperor's confidant.
Fang Chang and others entered the palace, naturally not to see the queen, but because the passage to the Splendid Realm was within the palace.
They were led to a corner side hall.
The hall is arranged with seats similar to lotus dais. There are about a hundred seats, each with a single seat. At this moment, there are many people sitting on it. They all have solemn faces and no one is talking or making a sound.
Fang Chang saw that Luo Xuan, the captain of the Huangwei Army whom he met last time he was teleported, was also there.
According to the old man Cheng Kai, the arrival of him and Li Hu took away two spots in the Phoenix Guard Army, so when he saw Fang Chang and the other two, his attitude was so bad.
But Fang Chang just doesn't care.
Unlike these guys who travel at public expense, they paid for it.
As for the quota, judging from Yaoguang's attitude of just giving points, he doesn't believe there is any quota limit.
Mostly it's a hunger marketing routine.
Nine times out of ten, these guys were deceived.
Fang Chang and Li Hu sat on the lotus platform, thinking with envy in their hearts.
The lotus platform is made of polished granite, which looks extremely smooth, with unknown sharp lines engraved on the edges.
From Fang Chang's unprofessional perspective, this thing is basically useless, and it makes your butt feel cold when you sit on it.
When the allotted time is up, an inexplicable suction force appears in the center of the hall, as if it wants to suck away people's souls.
Fang Chang was just in a trance, and saw the stars twinkling in the sky, and then the stars were shining brightly and then extinguished.
The sky and the earth were pitch black, a bright color appeared, and a long silver river flowed in the space.
The cold and smooth touch enveloped him, and he was like a helpless fish, drifting with the current, being sent to an unknown destination by the Milky Way.
He struggled to break free and wanted to jump out of the river.
Suddenly, an inexplicable power emerged from his body. He jumped with all his strength and saw the light above the river.
…
Splendid World.
Jingguo, Ningling County, Sanyin County, Xiama Village.
It is said that when Jingguo was at war with neighboring Weiguo, a general of Jingguo returned in triumph and dismounted here to ask for a drink of water.
The general said that when he was on the run, a peasant woman in the village gave him half a bowl of porridge, which enabled him to achieve what he has today. He came here to repay his kindness, so he left a hundred taels of gold behind.
Hence the legend of a general dismounting his horse to repay his kindness.
The name of the village was changed to Xiama Village.
But Fang Chang felt that this was purely because the villagers were flattering themselves, and dismounting clearly meant that the horse was inferior.
Who among the eight villages in the country doesn't know that Xiama Village is the poorest.
The village has not found a wife from outside the country for three years, but has been marrying off girls from outside the country.
Just by intermarriage in the village, not only are there fewer and fewer women, but even widows from second marriages are being sought after.
And sooner or later a bunch of fools will be born.
"Brother Dog, your mother called you home for dinner."
A little kid with two strings of runny nose, wearing crotchless pants and a bare buttocks shouted with gloating.
"There are guests at your house, and your mother hasn't been able to find you, and she even said she was going to beat your butt to pieces."
Fang Chang, who was basking in the sun at the entrance of the village: "..."
"I'll beat your ass first!"
Fang Chang slapped the little kid on the dirty butt, and the sound was clear and crisp.
Seeing that the little kid was about to cry with his mouth pouted, he took out a candied fruit as if by magic.
Tears welled up in the little kid's eyes, and he held them back when he saw the candied fruit.
"mine?"
Fang Chang stuffed the candied fruit directly into the little kid's mouth.
"Next time, remember to eat first before asking."
Fang Chang held his little hands behind his back and dragged his ten-year-old thin body, leaving the little kid with a tall back.
To think that he, the great Yuanying monk, was so bored that he pretended to be cool with a little kid. It was such a failure.
Fang Chang couldn't help but think of the culprit who turned him into a child - the girl with an innocent smile who claimed to be the spirit of the Splendid World.
The girl calls herself Yao Ji, Yao Guang's sister.
Well, anyway, it seems that she is not as big as Yao Guang. This sister needs to be discussed.
Yao Ji said that in order to prevent them, a group of outsiders, from disturbing the rules of this world, and also to prevent the speed of time in this world from disturbing their soul perception and being unable to distinguish the reality and illusion of the two worlds.
Therefore, everyone who enters the Splendid World must go through the catastrophe of reincarnation - that is, allowing them to obtain an indigenous identity in the Splendid World.
So he became such a stupid little kid.
Of course, this is not true reincarnation.
It's just that his soul is sleeping in the little kid's body, and he uses the little kid's body to adapt to the rules of this world.
When the time comes and his soul returns to its original position, he will be a good man again.
He woke up half a month ago.
Calculating the time, in about two days, the little kid's tenth birthday will come, and he will have been sleeping in the little kid's body for three years.
When the time comes, you can give your body back to the little brat and start being free on your own.
It's not that he hasn't tried to come out early, but every time he leaves his body, he feels dizzy, stirring all his perceptions like a roller, distorting the three dimensions of the world.
The little boy, influenced by the power of Fang Chang Yuan Shen, suddenly became enlightened three years ago. He is extremely intelligent and his body contains strength far beyond that of his peers. He is the child king of Xiama Village, and the children all respectfully call him Brother Gou.
However, after Fang Changshen awakened and took over the little kid's body, he has always been ashamed of this title.
…
A dilapidated old mud-brick house with a wall surrounded by earth blocks and a door made of bamboo that creaked when the wind blew.
Fang Chang pushed open the bamboo door with a serious look on his face, and saw a woman in a coarse linen skirt coming forward, wiping her hands on the apron around her waist.
The woman pinched the square ear.
"I told you that your second uncle would come over today and ask you not to wander around. Why did you come back so late?"
Fang Chang succeeded in one second, a smile appeared on his face, he tilted his head and stood on tiptoe, flattering:
"Hey, mother, I forgot, I really forgot, please be gentle and don't get so angry. Aren't I coming back now?"
Do what you do and love what you do.
Since he had taken over someone else's son's body, Fang Chang didn't feel aggrieved, so he just acted with her for two days.
At this time, a rich middle-aged man wearing a military hat walked out of the inner room. When he saw the innocent Fang Chang, he smiled and said:
"Goudan, do you still remember your second uncle?"
Fang Chang rolled his eyes silently in his heart, maintaining the innocence of a child on the outside, and said happily:
"Remember, second uncle, you gave me a lot of candies last time."
"Haha, just remember to eat candy."
The rich middle-aged man named Lin Fu is Fang Chang's second uncle who takes up the physical body.
According to him, when he was young, he went to the city to find a job and worked in a restaurant. Because he was serious about his work and studied humbly, he was appreciated by his boss. Now he is the owner of a restaurant, and he is considered one of the few wealthy relatives in Xiama Village.
However, Lin Fu only returned home to find relatives after he became prosperous in the past two years.
Previously, the Lin family thought that the second brother died outside.
At dinner time.
Lin's parents asked Fang Chang to kowtow to Lin Fu.
Fang Chang doesn't want to do this anymore.
Although it was not his body, his spirit lived in him, so he got into a fight with his parents, and his father almost slapped him with his shoes.
Although Lin Fu was a little disappointed, he still smiled and said:
"It's okay. If you don't want to knock, I won't knock. The child is still a little accustomed to life. It will be fine after we get along with him for a few more days."
"Yes, second brother, you know this kid is smart. He has his own ideas when he is smart. Sometimes we can't control him.
If you follow us, you will delay the child. It is best for him to be trained by you."
As the eldest brother, Father Lin has a somewhat low attitude.
Because Lin Fu had no children, he went home and wanted to choose a smart child to adopt as his son. After careful selection, he chose Fang Chang.
You must know that there are many Lin family members in Xiama Village, and Lin Fu has more than one eldest brother, as well as younger brothers and younger sisters.
If he wants to adopt a child, everyone else will struggle.
Being able to follow Lin Fu is tantamount to changing your destiny.
For the Lin family, it has also benefited a lot.
Not to mention anything else, the fifty taels of silver that Lin Fu brought back was enough for the Lin family to live a prosperous life.
You don’t have to worry about your other children not being able to find wives in the future, or having insufficient dowry, and being bullied by your husband’s family after they get married.
"My child, from now on, I will change my name to my second father and follow your second uncle to live a good life in the city."
When it came to the emotional part, Father Lin and Mother Lin couldn't help but burst into tears.
Fang Chang looked at Father Lin and Mother Lin, then at Lin Fu who was smiling, and couldn't help but blink.
Boy, this is sold.
Lin Fu said with a smile: "Son, if you follow the second father from now on, the second father will definitely treat you as his own son."
As he spoke, he lined up a row of snow-white silver coins on the table in front of Father Lin and Mother Lin.
"Brother and sister-in-law, my younger brother is a common man. If you are willing to give me your child, I can only give you this little compensation. Please accept it."
Father Lin and Mother Lin's expressions changed, and they quickly looked at Fang Chang.
Do they know that their child has been smart since he was a child, and if he sees this scene and doesn't understand it now, he will understand it when he grows up.
But Father Lin still accepted the money and explained:
"Second brother, you must take good care of Goudan."
Lin Fu shook his head and said: "It's okay to call the name Goudan when I was a child, but not when I'm older. I'll take advantage of this opportunity to name my child.
The reason why I am able to be where I am today is to be serious, so my child will be called Lin Zhen from now on, since I am serious."
"Okay, this is a good name. Second brother, you are worthy of being a well-educated person. I think the names are better than those chosen by the gentlemen in the village." Father Lin said with a smile.
"Then it's settled, I'll take Zhen'er back to the city tomorrow," Lin Fu said.
"that……"
At this time, Mother Lin hesitated.
Lin Fu asked: "Sister-in-law, do you have any questions?"
Mother Lin asked carefully: "The child's tenth birthday will be in two days. Can you let the child celebrate his birthday before returning to the city with your second brother?"
Lin Fu thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Okay, let Zhen'er stay with my elder brother and sister-in-law for another two days."
"Okay, I'll give it to Goudan when the time comes. No, no, I'll give Lin Zhen a big one."
Father Lin picked up the chipped pottery bowl, which contained slightly yellowish rice wine.
"Come on, second brother, let me give you a toast. You are the most promising person in our old Lin family."
Under the dim light, push the cup and change the cup.
The night is getting darker.
…
Two days later, it happened to be a full moon night.
After celebrating his birthday lively, Fang Chang leaned against the window and couldn't sleep.
He felt that his world recognized him, and his soul could now leave Lin Zhen's body at any time.
Nowadays, Yuan Shen is out exploring, and there is no longer any sense of distortion.
Even without counting the days, he could still vaguely feel the traces left by time on his soul.
In this way, he could clearly feel how much time had passed.
And his longevity also began to pass with the time in this world.
But what about his body?
Suddenly, he raised his head and looked at the moon. In the moonlight, there seemed to be a black shadow falling.
Boom!
There is someone outside the house.
The rich second uncle was standing in the courtyard, and someone floated in from outside the wall. There were four men in black, with their feet not touching the ground, like ghosts, and they happened to surround the second uncle.
"Who would have thought that Guojiang Long, one of the three dragons and four tigers of the Longhu Gang, was born in such a small village, Lin Longtou, you made it easy for us to find him.
Hand over your things."
The leader of the men in black said.
Lin Fu had his hands behind his back, and his small belly took away a lot from his expert temperament.
"Four ghosts of Xishan, how did you find me?"
"If you don't want others to know, you have to do nothing yourself. Lin Longtou, although you act secretly, you end up mistrusting the villain.
We spent ten thousand taels of silver to buy your itinerary.
Now that all the Jianghu in Jingguo has heard about it, you can't escape. Hand over your things and our master can save your life."
The leader in black said.
Lin Fu snorted coldly: "I didn't expect that even the Four Ghosts of Xishan became other people's lackeys, but Lin is used to standing and can't kneel down.
This is what you want, come and get it."
Lin Fu took out a white jade statue from his arms, about the size of a palm. It was a lady playing the flute, with a delicate face, lifelike in the moonlight, as if she had come to life.
The eyes of the Four Ghosts of Xishan lit up.
"The Dongxiao Fairy Statue is said to contain the secret of immortality. It is indeed as beautiful as the legend."
Taking advantage of the four ghosts in Xishan being attracted by the statue, Lin Fu threw the statue high into the air.
"Don't!"
Fearing that the statue would be smashed, all the four ghosts in Xishan stepped forward to catch the statue, but Lin Fu's temperament changed instantly.
If he was just a wealthy member just now, now he is a violent ape in human form.
His body swelled up, his loose uniform turned into a tight-fitting suit, and his big muscles could be seen protruding, like the roots of an old tree.
"die!"
Lin Fu's sleeves burst open, and a palm as big as a millstone smacked down a ghost.
This palm was like lightning and flint, and even the air was compressed into a ball. The ghost, who was distracted by the idol, was horrified and reacted conditionedly.
He retreated sharply.
But Lin Fu was unyielding. He stepped on him and made a small hole. He came first and struck his chest with a heavy palm.
Tear.
A ball of clothing exploded.
Lin Fu's expression changed: "Phantom Magic!"
"Lin Longtou's Bloody Palm is also well-deserved. If my second brother is a step too slow, I'm afraid he will be beaten into pieces by you."
The boss of the four ghosts held the statue in his hand and sighed.
"It's a pity that only one dragon and two tigers are left among the three dragons and four tigers. Those two tigers are not with you. Lin Longtou, you missed your last chance."
Next to him was a thin, masked man with his shirt popped open, and a faint bloody handprint on his chest.
Lin Fu's expression changed and he said: "The rules of the world are that if you don't harm your family, let them go."
The boss of the four ghosts shook his head: "Eradicate the root of the problem, Lin Longtou, you don't even understand this, do you?"
"Then the fish will die and the net will be broken!"
Lin Fu's face turned red, his eyes turned red, and he was about to fight for his life.
"It seems that I can only bring back one body for the master."
The boss of the four ghosts said regretfully.
"Ji Ji Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai, why are you talking so much nonsense during the fight? Are you disturbing me from admiring the moon?"
The expressions of all the four ghosts changed drastically: "Who?!"
Someone was approaching, but they didn't notice it. They glanced left and right, but didn't see a single figure. It seemed like a ghost was really talking in their ears.
Even though they were known as the Four Ghosts, a cold sweat still broke out behind their backs.
"Lower your head, what the hell!"
The four ghosts lowered their heads and saw a child rolling his eyes.
