The early morning sun shines under the eaves, bringing with it the late autumn temperature. The smell of cooking smoke drifts in from outside the yard, and the voices of people are faint.
Memories are rolling and flowing in the sea of consciousness. Some of these memories come from the future, and some come from our own earth.
In this world, I passed the boy test at the age of fifteen. I lost my name in the second test, and won the boy test in the third test. Although I defeated generals and captured flags all the way, and won the scholar award one after another, at this time, the world was in great catastrophe.
It has arrived, and all living beings are in ruins.
During this catastrophe, heroes emerged and storms surged, but I, who had missed time, was unable to meet the trend of the times, and died at Hidden Leaf Villa at the age of thirty.
No one in the Ye family, seven hundred and ninety-one, was spared.
Thinking of this, Ye Qing withdrew his gaze and stopped looking at his uncle's back in the distance.
Tongsheng is a prerequisite for being admitted as a scholar. Without Tongsheng's merit, the door to the immortal path is cut off, because the immortal sect only accepts qualified disciples who are above Tongsheng.
In this boy test, there is absolutely no reason to give in, even if it means taking five steps with the blood of his relatives.
"Master, let's eat!"
Qianqian calmed down and remembered her responsibilities. After a while, she brought over a plate of side dishes with soy sauce and two bowls of meat porridge. The aroma was fragrant.
This is according to Ye Qing's instructions in the past two days. His body is too weak now and must be replenished. Otherwise, even if he practices the highest-grade foundational Taoism, he will be greatly compromised.
Ye Qing took the chopsticks and flicked the wooden stool to signal that they should join.
Qianqian sat down to eat together in silence. She saw that although Ye Qing was eating, his face was gloomy, sometimes happy and sad. He was obviously thinking and wanted to ask, and he swallowed it again.
In the past few days, she had keenly felt that the young master had a lot of thoughts on his mind, and inadvertently, he revealed a murderous aura and majesty that frightened her.
She had only seen this kind of solemn and indifferent majesty in the executioner Cao Guan before.
Rich people have a rule of not talking about food, so the two of them didn't have much communication. After eating, they naturally put away the dishes and chopsticks.
"I go out for a while!"
"Okay!" Qianqian responded and watched him go out. The sun shone on her bright eyes, making her look a little dazed.
After leaving the door, Ye Qing went straight to the back garden
The Ye clan is considered a large family in Pingshou County. The Ye Mansion occupies a large area. The road in the back garden is winding, paved with bluestones, and ornamental green bamboos stand on both sides.
It is late autumn now, the sky is clear and the air is clear. The bamboo leaves are withered. There is a thick layer on the road, which creaks when you step on it. There is also an artificial hill, thirty meters high, all the way to the top of the mountain. The cool breeze blows, and it is very quiet.
It's not bad.
Beyond the hill, there is a small stream that has become a lake. There are big trees on the bank. In summer, it must be a towering canopy, a good place to enjoy the cool air. However, it is autumn now, and the lake area seems very cold.
Seeing this, Ye Qing couldn't help but nod secretly. With his current knowledge, he could certainly see that this layout was very mysterious, but it was a geomantic omen, called "Xiaogang Winding Belt". Although it would not lead to great wealth, it could still make him rich.
It benefits the luck of the clan and makes the children multiply. Unfortunately, now that there is no fame and fame, it does not allow Taoism and the appearance of luck to be seen.
I stood watching the scenery, but I felt relaxed and happy, quiet and refreshed. After a long time, I sat down in the pavilion. There was no one around, but with a move of my hand, a volume of documents appeared out of thin air.
Under the shade of green bamboo, the sun is dappled, reflecting the simple writing on the front of the volume: "Notes from Sichuan Forest!"
Ye Qing looked at it intently. Although he could not use the Taoist method, he felt a breath of fresh air just by holding it. His mind was clear, his mind was refreshed, and his whole body was comfortable. If he looked carefully, he could see that there was a layer of precious light on his body.
, if there is, if not, this is the limit that mortals can reach.
Opening it again, only the first page was revealed, with only sixteen words: "The destiny is ultimate, the sky and the earth collapse, the four seas merge together, and the universe is destroyed!"
Before the great catastrophe, some people had predicted this, but no one paid attention to it at the time. However, there was a Taoist who walked alone in the world, recording the major events in the world, trying to find the essence of the accident...
It's just that this Taoist who wanted to be a Taoist died. The Taoist sect said that he tried to defy heaven and suffered a punishment from heaven. If you find the notes and hand them over to the Taoist sect, you will be rewarded...
Although this reward is not too heavy, it is still a huge resource for many Taoists who are struggling. In the last few years of the previous life, many people buried their bones in other places to compete for this thing, but in the end it fell into their own hands!
He died in his previous life, but it was not because of this, but what is incredible is that after his death and rebirth, all other magic weapons were lost, and most of the memories of Taoist scriptures were erased, but it was still with him.
Opening the note, Ye Qing stared at the second page. There were only four words "Six Yang Diagrams" on the top, but the bottom was blank without a word.
Ye Qing was not disappointed. He covered the scroll and with a wave of his hand, the note disappeared and sank into the sea of consciousness. At this moment, he felt horrified but also had some understanding.
The Tao Lord has ruled the world for millions of years, order has penetrated deeply into the Tao, and everything has laws. Ye Qing has a hunch that as long as he is qualified as a child, he will have surprises.
"The Taoist imperial examinations are publicly called to the world, and the Taoist theory is studied carefully. They only use people's wisdom and the raft of Dharma practice, not to recruit scholars based on their literature."
"This imperial examination not only pays attention to literary talent, but also pays attention to luck. Although I can't observe Qi, I have a general feeling. When I am reborn, most of my luck has been cut off, which is extremely thin. If I refuse my uncle at this time, I will offend the clan.
If you are not happy, you will lose the support of luck within the clan... I am afraid that I will not be as good as myself in my previous life, and it will be difficult for me to pass the exam as a child student."
"But as long as I am qualified as a child, I can practice the basic secrets of Taoism. I can gather my luck by relying solely on my own merits, instead of relying entirely on external things."
"Although the signs of a great catastrophe have not yet appeared, time has not waited for me. At this time, it is time to take one step forward to live, and one step back to perish. There is no time to waste. Perhaps there is only one dangerous move available now..."
Thinking of this, Ye Qing narrowed his eyes and cast his gaze towards the shadows of the mountains in the north.
Beimang Mountain, the legendary place of the dead.
While he was meditating, he suddenly heard a scream in the distance, but it was a sharp voice. He felt a shiver in his heart and ran straight down.
When I went down, I saw a man pestering Qianqian. He glanced at it and immediately became furious and shouted: "It's you, how dare you?"
The two people below were startled by this drink. The man was shocked and then angry. He was frightened by this gangster. Then he laughed strangely and said: "It turns out to be Young Master Qing. You are so big."
Your throat really doesn’t look like a scholar?”
He said with a smile: "But with a clean face and a good voice, I must be qualified to be a pillar!"
After hearing this, Ye Qing was not angry at this moment. He stared at the man. After a while, he said coldly: "You are my cousin Ye Sheng's slave. Your name is Wu Tiezi, right?"
Speaking of this, Ye Qing showed a ferocious smile: "I didn't expect that there would be a fool like you among my cousin's subordinates. Do you know why I have been treated coldly in these years, but no servant with a short-sighted mind dared to offend me directly? You
Do you know what family rules and laws are?"
Forced by this look, Wu Tiezi couldn't help but take a step back, breaking out in cold sweat: "Don't scare me, I'm not afraid, I am Master Sheng's man!"
"Scaring?" Ye Qing sneered.
"No matter how destitute I am, I am still a member of the Ye family tree and your master. Who do you think you are? You dare to take advantage of your power and act wild in front of me?".
"According to the king's law, if a slave bullies his master, as long as I file a complaint, regardless of right or wrong, the government will first treat you with thirty slaps. Ask yourself, can you stand it?"
After hearing this, Wu Tiezi was immediately forced back from what he was about to say.
The status of slaves is humble. According to the king's law, if a slave makes a mistake, the master will beat him to death or only fine him. But on the other hand, if a slave dares to deceive the master, once he meets the official, he will be punished regardless of right and wrong.
Especially since the government itself is the head of the family, such a thing is not allowed to happen, so the thirty boards often imply that the government officials used all their strength to beat them. Even a top-notch tough guy will be beaten half to death on the spot. Beating the weak to death in the hall is just casual.
.
Thinking of this, Wu Tiezi swallowed his words, but was still dissatisfied. When Ye Qing saw it, he sneered again: "I know you are dissatisfied, but if you do it like this, I will offend my cousin, and I won't be able to live with you anymore."
, but have you ever thought about it?"
"As long as I go all out, I would rather offend my cousin and uncle, tear my clothes to pieces, hit the family bell, say you beat me, and even bully my maid, do you know what will happen to you?"
"What is the clan law based on? It is the family rules and clan laws. No matter how miserable the master is, he is still the master. If you slaves dare to bully him, you have violated the family rules and clan laws. Believe it or not, your cousin and uncle will not listen to your explanation.
Are you going to beat you to death right away and show you in front of the clan temple?"
At this point, Ye Qing smiled ferociously and said to Wu Tiezi: "Do you dare? You are bloody. If you dare, give me a blow with your life and pull me off my horse!"
"It must be worth it to you if you have a master who will accompany you to your ruined future!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Wu Tiezi's eyes turned red and the veins on his face popped out. According to his thoughts, he really wanted to slap this weak young man to death.
But, he really didn’t dare!
In this world, naughty sons of slaves are whipped to remember family mottos. Although beatings to death are very rare, the pain is deeply rooted in people's hearts.
No matter how stupid and impulsive Wu Tiezi was, he knew that the young man in front of him was right.
As long as this young man dares to go all out and risk offending the master and the young master, it is not difficult to kill him with a stick.
After being stunned for a long time, Wu Tiezi finally lost to the family's rules and regulations. Wu Tiezi looked at Qianqian with a hateful look, then left in annoyance.
Ye Qing saw this man staring at him and Qianqian, with this sinister and obscene expression, and a trace of murderous intent emerged.
In the previous life, I obeyed Ye Zifan's wishes and did not receive such treatment. Instead, I was given thirty taels of silver.
But if you don't want to do something contrary to your intention, there is such a disaster.
Even generations of slave education and iron-blooded rules cannot suppress human nature. Resistance and resentment are normal. Ye Qing, who comes from the earth, does not think it is a big mistake.
But Wu Tiezi's target is himself and Qianqian, so he can't keep this person. He doesn't have the spirit of a snake and a farmer yet!
However, now is not the time to kill him.
The most important thing now is to pass the Tongsheng examination, so that he can gain fame and practice Taoism. When the time comes, he can kill Wu Tiezi in a flash.
But, in this case, I am afraid that the things I want to think about in the afternoon will be completed in advance!
