Chapter 1: At the beginning, I met Wu Zetian's mother
Overlooking Chang'an Road, there are luxuriant ditch grasses, diagonally facing Ganquan Road, and lush green mausoleum trees. The Imperial Township is lush and green, and the Purple Pavilion Alchemy Tower shines brightly. The east is long and optimistic, and the west points to Weiyang Palace. The red city reflects the morning sun, and the green
The trees sway in the spring breeze.

In 618 AD, which was the fourteenth year of the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty was killed by Yu Wenhuaji in Jiangdu, which solved a big problem for all the heroes in the world on the road to becoming emperor.
Shortly after Yang Guang's death, Li Yuan couldn't wait to proclaim himself emperor in Chang'an. The country was named Tang, which was Tang Gaozu, and his reign was Wude!
Time flies, and by the fifth year of Wude, Chang'an has recovered from the wars of the past, and has become a prosperous place where people can drink a lot of wine, take off their hats, and sing wildly.
April is already the beginning of spring.
Zhuangyan Temple, located in the southwest corner of Chang'an City, also welcomed the annual Sakyamuni Buddha Christmas Ceremony.
Zhuangyan Temple is a very famous temple in Chang'an. It was originally named Chanding Temple. It was built by Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Jian, for his beloved wife Dugu Jialuo. It is large in scale and magnificent. The temple occupies half of the two squares of Yongyang and Heping in Chang'an. The complex hall
Double corridor, dense bamboo and green pines.
However, the most famous thing about Zhuangyan Temple is the wooden pagoda with a height of 330 feet and a circumference of 120 steps. As the saying goes, you will be able to see all the small houses from the top... When you stand on the top of the pagoda of Zhuangyan Temple, you can
You can easily overlook the entire south city of Chang'an, which can be called a scene of Chang'an.
At this time, looking down from the Zhuangyan Temple Tower, a lecture platform and reed tents on both sides had been erected in the square.
All the Christmas ceremonies of Sakyamuni Buddha have been held in the square in front of the solemn temple tower. During the ceremony, many famous monks and masters will come to give lectures, debate with each other on the stage, and compete...
In the end, the person who wins the debate will climb to the top of the tower and receive praise from the believers. It can be said to be a grand event in Chang'an Buddhism.
Of course, when famous monks are giving lectures in the temple, there will be many interesting things on both sides of the road outside the gate of Zhuangyan Temple...
For example, there are restaurants selling Qingjing rice, Tuanyou rice, steamed cakes, Laowan and other snacks, as well as vendors selling cheap hairpins, hairpins, and yao, and even vendors selling rouge and daisy.
In short, there are all kinds of necessities for food, clothing, housing and transportation, everything is available!
In addition to eating utensils, there are also hundreds of performances in the open space outside the temple gate, including puppetry, sword swallowing, sword dancing, flying ladders, etc. that may not be seen many times in a lifetime.
The masters in the temple talk about detachment, while the lay people outside the temple talk about food and clothing. This is called an event that both the refined and the popular enjoy!
Therefore, every year during the Christmas ceremony of Sakyamuni Buddha in Zhuangyan Temple, the southwest corner of Chang'an will be very lively.
Early in the morning, there were already crowds of people outside the gate of Zhuangyan Temple, including hawkers, jugglers, and spectators. It was really a huge crowd.
As the saying goes, the gold medal competition is fixed every year, and the shopping malls and rows of department stores are shining together. The sun and the sun are shining brightly. The merchants of Qi and Jin are tied with their saddles. They play the zither and build music, and the money and wine are given to each other...
At this time, parked on the side of the road between the crowded Yong'an and Heping squares was a carriage that was richly decorated but somewhat old-fashioned.
A somewhat fat coachman was standing beside the carriage with his hands lowered, looking around wildly.
Next to the coachman, you can also see a beautiful middle-aged woman with a maid, sitting opposite the fortune-telling stall of a very handsome little Taoist priest, with a searching look on her face.
This beautiful woman seems to have come to Zhuangyan Temple to offer incense. She is wearing a plain dress. Although the color is not bright, it is made of good quality materials. Although she is a bit old, her skin and figure are well maintained.
…
The fashion at this time was to look at plumpness as beauty, and the beautiful middle-aged woman sat down in front of the Gua stall like this. She was big where she should be, and small where she should be. Her figure was uneven, and as soon as she turned her eyes, she was
It's like two pills of mercury, making you look gorgeous and outstanding.
Many idle people gathered around the Gua stall, pretending to inquire about prices from nearby vendors, and secretly peeking aside.
Even the handsome little Taoist priest at the Gua stall seemed to be amazed by the appearance of the beautiful woman in front of him, and his black and white eyes became straight.
This little Taoist priest did not wear legal robes like other Taoist priests. Instead, he wore a set of pure white Taoist robes with a strange style. He did not wear anything like two ritual statues on his head, but wore a hat.
Strange white miter.
Ordinary people may look darker if they wear white clothes, but because this little Taoist priest is so handsome, against the backdrop of this pure white Taoist robe, he looks even more charming and charming!
In his hand he also carried a whisk made of white jade, with the same flawless tail. Behind his back was an ancient sword with a bronze color and a hilt shaped like a tripod ear, with a white tassel hanging from the hilt.
Come down, swaying slightly behind your shoulders.
At this time, the little Taoist priest was looking blankly... somewhere beside the beautiful woman, as if there was something beside her that others could not see.
It was a translucent box that would only appear in the little Taoist's eyes. The format was similar to the game interface that the little Taoist had played in his previous life.
There is a 3D avatar of the woman in front of you in the upper left corner of the box, and there is a text introduction next to the avatar.
Name: Yang Mudan.
Identity: Former Shangshu of the Ministry of Civil Affairs of the Sui Dynasty, daughter of Yang Shida, Marquis of Shi'an County.
Age: Born in the first year of Dacheng in the Northern Zhou Dynasty (AD 579), he was forty-three years old.
Past: When I was a girl, because my blind date, Su Xuan, was ugly, I colluded with the initiation master of the Tiantai Sect and planned to escape from marriage on the grounds of committing myself to Buddhism. In the end, although I successfully avoided the ugly man, I also successfully avoided the marriage, and I am still unmarried.
Now: Yang Mudan, who has created a devout Buddhist persona, will come to Zhuangyan Temple to listen to the Dharma every time the Buddha's birthday is held. Today, as usual, I was on the way to Zhuangyan Temple because I saw a handsome young Taoist priest and decided to strike up a conversation.
(cross out)divination.
Future: In the sixth year of Wude (623 AD), she married the warrior Xun and became her stepmother. She gave birth to three daughters: the eldest daughter Wu Shun, who married Helan Yueshi; the second daughter Wu Meiniang, who was the Great Sage Emperor Zetian; and the third daughter Wu Wei, who married Helan Yueshi.
Guo Xiaoshen.
The handwriting on the profile marked with the past and the present is still flickering, while the handwriting on the profile marked with the future is bleak!
The little Taoist priest's lips moved slightly, and a silent word swirled between his lips and tongue.
"My lord, it turns out that Wu Zetian's biological mother is actually a beauty addict..."
The handsome little Taoist priest's Taoist name is Qingwei, and his lay name is Kong Qing.
The so-called lay name is actually his name in his previous life. Yes, this little Taoist priest is a very ordinary time traveler.
In his previous life, apart from being handsome and tall, everything else about him was ordinary.
When I was in school, I was just ordinary, with average grades. After graduating from an ordinary school, I was admitted to an ordinary civil servant. I lived in an ordinary place until I was in my forties, and I was an ordinary older person.
Single dog...
There is nothing to say about time travel. I slept normally and then time travel normally...
As soon as the eyes are opened and closed, people arrive at the Sui Dynasty from thousands of years later.
I can't even find anyone to reason with!
The only thing that can comfort him is that his handsome face has not disappeared because of time travel, but has become even more handsome.
What's more, he has an additional system that allows him to use merit points to draw prizes. The prizes are all-encompassing, and he can even draw some legendary things.
Just like now, the reason why Kong Qing can see the information of this middle-aged beautiful woman is because he used the merit points accumulated in his previous life to help others and won an SS-level skill in the system lottery.
Identification Technique!
After using this skill, all the target's information can be displayed next to the target, just like clicking on the NPC's system panel in the game. Moreover, the target's information not only includes what the other person has experienced before, but even the other person's future.
Some of the things you will experience will also be listed.
Relying on the foresight brought by his appraisal skills, Kong Qing persuaded several vendors with bluffs and deceptions to give up the habit of shoddy goods, and quickly sold them in Yongle, Changxing, Guangfu and other markets near Qingduguan.
His reputation grew rapidly, and he was nicknamed Tiekou Zhiduan Qingweizi.
The amazing thing is that when he deceived these traders, Kong Qing actually got a lot of merit points.
So Kong Qing decisively embarked on the path of bluffing...the straight-forward path of being a half-immortal!
After struggling for a while, when Kong Qing had almost collected all the wool near Qingdu Temple, he learned from an informant in Xingshan Temple next door to Qingdu Temple that a meeting was going to be held at Zhuangyan Temple in the south city of Chang'an.
Grand Sakyamuni Buddha Christmas Dharma Ceremony.
The scale is huge!
All the idlers in Chang'an City and the wise men will gather there.
So Kong Qing did not hesitate to take his Gua stall and set up a stall in front of Zhuangyan Temple, intending to harvest the wool of the fat sheep gathered by the monks in Zhuangyan Temple.
As a result, the first order of business hit Wu Zetian’s mother!
What kind of luck is this?
"This little Taoist priest..."
Mrs. Yang Mudan of Rongguo, who was not yet married at this time, felt slightly happy when she looked at the little Taoist priest staring at her in a daze in front of her.
Although the other party's behavior was a bit rude, seeing the trance-like look of this handsome and handsome little Taoist priest after seeing him still made people who were already getting older and began to encounter him in the circle of famous ladies in Chang'an City.
Yang Mudan, who was repulsive, felt very relieved.
Um!
Seeing the way this handsome little Taoist looked at Nujia, Nujia felt relieved about his appearance!
So Yang Mudan covered her mouth and smiled softly.
"When you look at the slave family like this, do you see something wrong?"
