Nanping County, Nan'an City, Prince Ning's Mansion.
This ruins was once the ruling center of Nan'an City, the capital of Nanping County, and the highest core of the entire Nanping County. But as the years passed and the world changed, it was just a fragment of land lost in the smoke and grass.
The walls are in ruins.
Standing among the ruins, Zhu Ning was a little confused. She looked around and saw some familiar things from time to time, but when she thought about it carefully, she couldn't remember anything.
"Do you remember where this is?" Wu Jie asked.
Zhu Ning nodded, then shook his head: "I have an impression, but I can't really recall it. It's like standing in a cloud of fog. There are clearly everywhere in front of me, but I can't catch even a little bit..."
Wu Jie pondered for a moment, lowered his eyebrows and sighed: "Then just think about it slowly, we are not in a hurry. The place is quite big here, you can think about it while walking. If you look around more, you may be able to remember it."
He knew that Zhu Ning would be able to remember sooner or later. Purgatory and reincarnation could only wash away the sins stained on the soul, but they could not wash away the truly unforgettable memories. Most reincarnations would recall the events of their previous lives in the realm of golden elixir or Yin Shen.
, and in front of the profound gate of life and death, he will remember all his life and death, with few exceptions.
Zhu Ning thought of Prince Ning's Mansion instead of other things, which made him slightly relieved. If she thought of those selfish, greedy and evil people, it would be very disappointing.
"Think about it slowly," he said, "Don't be in a hurry, we will stay here."
So they lived in the ruins of Prince Ning's Mansion. Wu Jie sat at the entrance of the ruins and used his magical power of void evolution to create a ruin that looked the same. Those who entered the ruins intentionally or unintentionally could only
Being able to move around in the ruins created will not disturb Zhu Ning. But the insect girl was bored and turned into a happy little insect, wandering around Nan'an City.
Today's Nan'an City is no longer the largest city in Nanping County in the past. Because of the tragedy in the past and King Ning's rebellion, the Chu Kingdom has been suppressing the development of Nan'an City. In addition, with the later establishment of Taoyuan County, a large number of
The population poured into Nanping and other towns were quickly established, further reducing the status of Nan'an City.
If this is nothing, Wu Jie later moved the entire Taoyuan County into the World of Heavenly Book, which was the most fatal blow to Nan'an City - Nan'an City's main income is metal manufacturing, and metal manufacturing naturally relies on mineral veins
Collection. In the past, there were not very good mineral veins in Nanping County.
The raw materials mainly come from purchasing from the barbarians of Shiwanda Mountain, so Nan'an City is not greatly affected. However, in the world of Tianshu, there are many minerals in the four wildernesses, especially the Southern Desert and the Western Wilderness Mountains, especially later.
The mining areas that appeared in the southwest have continuously produced massive amounts of minerals.
Affected by this, the metal manufacturing center of the Book World has now turned into several towns on the edge of the Southern Desert. Nan'an City lost this most important position and naturally declined quickly.
The farmers' lives have not been affected. The land in Taoyuan Township is fertile and very vast, and there are no major natural disasters. As long as they work hard, they will not go hungry. But the craftsmen and businessmen have no choice.
They had no choice but to leave their hometown and go to the south or west to find a new job.
As a result, Nan'an City finally declined completely. Although the foundation of the city is still there, it has dropped from a comprehensive large city to a small agricultural city.
Inside the towering city walls, ruins like Prince Ning's Mansion can be seen from time to time. The people in Taoyuan Township live and work in peace and simplicity, and even wealthy families cannot hire many slaves. Naturally, there is no need for a building with three floors inside and three floors outside with double doors and courtyards due to lack of manpower.
Luxury houses, the popular ones here are ordinary big houses, where the whole family can enjoy themselves happily, which is quite enough.
As a result, the large houses in the city - mainly the houses of officials who followed King Ning's line - became useless. Some of them were transformed into gardens for people to walk and play, but many more were completely abandoned.
.After all, the manpower in Taoyuan Township is quite precious, and it is not worth wasting it on these tasteless things.
As the years go by, these mansions have become ruins. Some of them have relatively complete structures and will be used as secret bases by naughty teenagers to play games that will make them feel ashamed and warm when they grow up. Those that have been
The ruins became haunted houses - well, there is no other ghost in the entire Tianshu world except Du Ruo, and Du Ruo naturally does not live here, so they are not even considered haunted houses.
As the leader among haunted houses, Prince Ning's Mansion is the best choice for children to compete in courage. Because it has been abandoned for many years, some special medicinal herbs grow here, so doctors occasionally come here to collect herbs. These two types of people are the only ones in Prince Ning's Mansion.
Some visitors.
The insect girl likes to play with children very much. She transforms into various forms and has a great time playing with the children in the city. Wu Jie quickly noticed the two pharmacies in the city because he could sense
In these two pharmacies, there is a power of faith and incense coming towards me.
This surprised him a little. After some investigation with his spiritual mind, he found that the gods enshrined by these two drug stores were both the Qingyi Wuhou.
Wuhou in Tsing Yi is a once famous god, or three gods. Their statues are roughly like this: an old man in Tsing Yi with white hair sits in the middle, on the left is a middle-aged man in rich clothes, and on the right is a blue-haired man.
The clothes are floating
The young man was a carefree young man. The old man must have a book in his hand, titled "Qing Yi Jing". According to legend, Wu Hou, Qing Yi, was a sage in ancient times. Father and son worked tirelessly for two generations, and finally wrote "Qing Yi Jing", which is regarded as a model by doctors all over the world.
The reason Wu Jie was able to sense the power of faith incense from these two drug stores was naturally because he was one of the Wu Hous in Qingyi. The white-haired old man in the center was his father, the middle-aged man on the left was his brother, and the young man on the right was
Himself.
Seeing this portrait and seeing the "Qing Yi Sutra" that was cherished next to the statue, Wu Jie couldn't help but smile knowingly.
Years can erase the prosperity, but they cannot erase the memories passed down by word of mouth. The once glorious Nan'an City has declined, and no one knows about the affairs of Prince Ning's Mansion. Even the great Chu Kingdom and the Jiuzhou boundary have become bleak.
memory. But this "Qing Yi Jing" has been passed down, and I believe it will continue to be passed down.
"There is a saying that 'The Great Wall is still there today, and Qin Shihuang is nowhere to be seen, but those who are still alive and have made contributions to the common people will eventually be immortal." He whispered to himself in a low voice, smiling happily.
After several years of this, finally one day, Zhu Ning, who had been wandering like a ghost in the ruins, finally came out and took the initiative to find Wu Jie.
"Do you remember?" Wu Jie asked.
Zhu Ning looked complicated and remained silent for a long time, then whispered: "I just remembered a little bit."
"Then what are you going to do?" Wu Jie asked again.
Zhu Ning shook his head in confusion: "I don't know either..."
She stared blankly at the ruins, with a very complicated expression, including pain and regret, but also helplessness and desolation. It was like a young man who left home to pursue his dream when he was young. In order to work hard to climb up, he gave up his dignity and conscience.
He gave up all of them, and survived a life of nearly death for decades. Finally, he returned to his hometown in fine clothes, only to find that things and people in his hometown had changed, and he was destroyed in the process of climbing up.
"I have an indescribable feeling now, and my heart is empty. I want to cry a little bit, but I can't cry; I want to shout, but I'm afraid that the business is too big and will scare the dead souls... No, I know that there is actually no such thing here
The dead souls were all taken away back then... I owe them too much. Even if I was punished in hell, I could not atone for my sins."
She murmured to herself, and before she knew it, tears were streaming down her face.
"So, do you regret it?"
"Of course I regret it"
"If you were given another chance, would you like to say something to them?"
Zhu Ning quickly turned around and looked at Wu Jie with wide eyes.
Wu Jie looked at her indifferently: "If you are given a chance to save everything now, what do you want to say to them?"
Zhu Ning looked at him blankly. After a long time, he closed his eyes and sighed deeply: "If ridiculing and sarcasm makes you feel interesting, then that's up to you. I don't want to talk about such boring things.
Whoever sees a flying arrow turning back on a topic, it is always hard to recover. The big mistake is irreversible. Even if you want to apologize to them and kneel in front of them to repent, there is no chance..."
Wu Jie smiled: "You will know soon whether it is irreversible or not."
After saying that, he raised his hands and instantly turned into endless smoke, covering the sky.
"Who said a flying arrow cannot turn back, and who said a flying arrow cannot be recovered? There is nothing 'impossible' in this world."
A strange light radiated from his hand, covering the entire ruins. Then, the scenes in the ruins flickered quickly. If you look carefully, everything is moving backwards - the withered grass turns green again, and then keeps getting smaller.
It became shorter, and finally turned into seeds and returned to the soil; the ruins of the wall gradually took on a fresh breath, and then slowly saw gravel flying up, flying back to the wall, and slowly returning to its former appearance...
…
They don't know how long it took, but what appeared in front of them was no longer ruins, but a majestic and prosperous mansion. However, the entire mansion was empty, and not a single person could be seen.
"Still... can't it?" Zhu Ning's face was full of expectation and worry. She held her hands together tightly and kept mumbling to herself, but even she herself didn't know what she was talking about.
What.
Wu Jie smiled: "Without you, it really wouldn't work. But since you are here, I have made up the most important part - have you ever heard of the word 'Yao Yinzi'? For the magical power I want to use,
Say, you yourself are the most critical introduction to the medicine."
After saying that, he raised his left hand and gave Zhu Ning a gentle push on the back. Zhu Ning was caught off guard and staggered into the empty mansion.
Then, as if by magic, the delicate red-haired girl turned into an extraordinary handsome man, dressed in a luxurious brocade robe, and his whole person exuded a heart-wrenching kingly aura.
Around him, figures emerged one after another, the former residents of Prince Ning's Mansion - concubines, clan members, retainers, servants, guards...
These people were completely unaware of Wu Jie's existence, and just lived and rested in Prince Ning's mansion according to their daily habits. A servant noticed the appearance of the handsome man, and immediately bowed and saluted, saying: "My lord, be safe."
This handsome man was naturally the former King Ning Zhu Quan. He looked around doubtfully, then suddenly realized and looked at Wu Jie excitedly.
Wu Jie nodded and clapped his hands together.
"Tracing back time, reversing life and death"
A moment later, Wu Jie took the pale Zhu Ning and stood on the dilapidated tower of Nan'an City.
Looking from a distance, the bustling Prince Ning's Mansion is full of joy, and the sound of laughter and excitement can be heard even here.
In the hall of the palace, His Royal Highness Prince Ning took his concubines and children, accompanied his old and frail father, and the ministers to burn incense and express his gratitude to the statue of the god that had just been painted.
The god looked like a young man with a gentle smile, and a little red-haired girl who seemed out of place at first sight.
"I didn't expect that you would eventually choose to separate Zhu Quan and end the cause and effect." Wu Jie said with a smile, "In this way, you will lose more than half of your peerless talent and extraordinary luck.
"
"But I feel very comfortable and very happy." Zhu Ning said softly, with smiles in his eyes, "Those things should not have been mine in the first place. I am just a crimson bead in the cloud world."
Wu Jie nodded: "Zhu Ning, are you willing to be my disciple?"
Zhu Ning was overjoyed and immediately turned over and prostrated, kowtowing several times: "Disciple Zhu Ning, thank you Master for your support."
