At this time, dusk smoke was everywhere, and the sky was dim. A bright moon appeared, shining brightly, and a little red light moved slowly at the southern foot.
Ye Qing carried a book basket on his back, holding on to the rocks and green pine trees in the mountains, and walked along the mountain road with pauses.
It was very cold at night, and the so-called roads in the mountains, even though there was a bright moon and illuminated by torches, were still rugged and difficult to navigate.
Most of the thirty miles in front of the mountain are flat roads, but the current five miles of mountain road are the only ones that are difficult to navigate.
When we climbed up a high mountain rock, it was already the zenith of the moon, and there were bursts of heat rising from the top. Beads of sweat overflowed, and I had to take a break.
Ye Qing drank some water and glanced back in the direction of Ye Mansion.
In the night, you can still faintly see lights at the foot of the mountain, one of which is the most conspicuous. This may be the building outside the building, the center of power of Ye Mansion!
Recalling the evil servant's domineering face in the afternoon, my worries turned into reality.
Ye Qing obeyed Ye Zifan's wishes in his previous life. Since he was reincarnated on earth, he had good luck, so he did not suffer these humiliations. Now he is speechless and just sneers in his heart.
The three Tao Lords are consistent with the Tao of this world. They are high above. Tao is the law. What is needed is not a chaotic world, or at least for this world, that is the case.
All things are in order and running endlessly, so that they, who are already at the top of the world, can still go further.
At the beginning of the three Taoist monarchs, there was an era of war between the Three Kingdoms. Each had its own Taoist lineage, each held great sects, and each fought for its destiny. This not only devastated all life on the earth, but also damaged the Taoism.
Under the backlash of the Great Dao, the Qing Emperor and the Yellow Emperor, the strongest among the Five Emperors, came into being.
The three Taoist monarchs were all wise men. They assessed the situation and immediately stopped fighting, and instead joined forces to establish order. As these were implemented, the Taoism gradually stabilized, and the Qing Emperor and the Yellow Emperor who came into being could no longer rise and had to be included in the Heavenly Court.
system.
Over the next million years, the Five Emperors gradually completed it. Of course, this knowledge is only known to the highest level of the dynasty, and the people have no knowledge of it at all. Only when the great catastrophe comes and the order is broken, can these secrets be passed down.
Not to mention, with the establishment of the Heavenly Palace, the number of living beings multiplied, the beauty of the gods grew, and the order deepened into all aspects of human nature. All things have life and death in order to be able to circulate. Immortal immortals do not need too many, so the Immortal Sect chooses to transcend.
Getting more and more severe.
In fact, the Boy Exam is not only a test of literary talent, but also a competition between each person's luck and destiny. Wisdom, luck, and qualifications are the three major criteria. Unless the article is shocking, if the luck is not strong, you will be squeezed out.
!
The family has determined this, and by controlling the distribution of luck within the family, it can take and seize its children and exchange and distribute resources.
This would not be too unfair in normal times. After all, they are all blood relatives within the clan, and there are many aristocratic families in every county. A family that cannot guarantee basic fairness will naturally collapse in cohesion and often fall into decline within a few generations.
However, Ye Qing is currently only requesting to evade for one term, which is within the reasonable range of the clan. In normal times, it is nothing more than three years. But not far away, the catastrophe is coming and all the old order is in danger. Do you want him to use this precious
time and opportunity in exchange for the so-called family protection?
Let yourself think about it, in what year was the building outside the building burned down in the fire?
Ye Qing stopped looking at the column lights and continued walking.
…
Not long after, Ye Qing saw a large bell hanging on a large tree on a flat ground.
I thought to myself: "According to the rumors, it is definitely coming!"
He held up the torch and looked at it, but it was indeed a deserted mountain temple. Seeing this, Ye Qing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief!
This world is a world where Taoism manifests its sages. The Yang energy is shining in the world, and the Yin energy is correspondingly heavy. It is a bustling place, the Yang energy rushes out of the city, and it is protected by the land, the city god, etc., and there are not many ghosts and monsters.
However, ghosts are rampant in uninhabited places, and no one dares to walk there, especially some century-old battlefields. Beimang Mountain has been a place of hundreds of battles since ancient times. It is not surprising that it is known as the land of the dead. Of course, this is far from Beimang Mountain. It can only be said to be Beimang Mountain.
of the periphery.
Even so, traveling at night is actually a risky move out of necessity. You can see the worry in Qianqian's eyes before she leaves.
When Ye Qing arrived here, the mountain temple stood in front of a deep tunnel valley. In front of the temple, there was a flat turtle carrying a stele with characters carved like swords.
When I looked closer at the blazing light of the torch, I saw the inscription on the stele: "Battlefield of the Ancient Wei Dynasty"
This font is very old, showing that it is separated by several dynasties, which corresponds to the history of the previous dynasties known in the book.
Legend has it that during the Wei Dynasty, a famous general was loyal to the country, but he was wronged and his entire army died here in battle. It has been a long time, but now it has become a famous monument.
There was no dark wind coming out of the valley, but the calmer it became, the more Ye Qing didn't dare to go deeper. He just looked at a broken plaque on the main entrance with the three characters "Zhen Gu Temple" written on it.
Entering the mountain temple, I saw that the statues of gods in the temple were wet and weathered, and their original appearance could not be seen. I did not know what gods they were worshiping. Only the incense burner was still in good condition.
People come to offer sacrifices.
Ye Qing looked at it and saw that this sacrifice was no longer there. If the human gods relied on incense, this bleak scene would almost be the scene of death. Even if they meet people passing by by chance and see this situation, they may not be willing to offer incense.
.
But Ye Qing still went in, put the book basket on the ground, picked out a pile of incense sticks, picked out three that were still usable, lit them with flint, and inserted them into the incense burner.
Even if the god has died, at least this temple is nominally owned by him, and according to tradition, he cannot live without telling him.
"Students are passing by and staying overnight, hoping that the gods will not be surprised." Ye Qing thought silently in his heart, followed the rules, and slowly retreated.
I collected some hay as bedding, found some dry firewood from the old kitchen behind the temple, ignited it with hay, and lit it into a bonfire. The crackling sound of firewood burning was mixed with the howling mountain wind outside the temple and the moonlight pouring in front of the door.
A silver glow, combined with the red light of the bonfire, illuminates the cheeks.
This is a kind of loneliness. I can't help but recall my past life, and I feel a little sad for a moment.
Burning incense by yourself was just a matter of procedure. A great catastrophe occurred in the past life, and various opportunities arose. If I remember correctly, three years later, a poor scholar, Sun Zhijie, passed by this place. When he saw the statue of the god toppled, he felt sorry for him.
Therefore, they offer incense and offer sacrifices, and write sacrificial inscriptions on them.
I don't want to awaken the gods of this temple, so that I can help my luck and win talents. It became an interesting story for a while and spread in the county, so I can know about it.
Now I am just relying on the prophet and taking advantage of the situation.
However, as long as you achieve success, it is not difficult to give this person a scholar status, and you can make up for it when the time comes.
At that moment, I chose a wall that was intact, calmed down, and started writing.
"I am deeply moved when I pass by the school, so I would like to tell you this:"
"The general was born in the former dynasty and grew up in the grass and fields. Sometimes the emperor lost control of the world and chaos broke out. Then the general conquered the south and the north and suppressed the riots repeatedly. He was on the battlefield for fourteen years, but the world's fortunes were extremely poor.
Everyone is endowed with virtue, so they are defeated like this. It is not a crime of war. Today, the gods are not ignorant, and their lessons will be remembered to this day. Please enjoy!"
Lifting the pen, Ye Qing concentrated on each word word by word. From an invisible perspective, the handwriting glowed with white light. I wonder if it was an illusion. At this time, a kind of gaze came over him.
In the underworld, in the corresponding space of this world, a palace exists. It is ancient in shape and has a deep atmosphere. Although most of it collapsed, it has not completely decayed. Now there is a trace of power pouring into it to repair it.
Deep in the palace, on a bed of ice jade, a trace of incense and a ritual inscription fell down.
An unknown existence felt this change, opened its golden eyes, and said in surprise: "Who, scholar, is bringing a book and a memorial in my temple?"
But no one answered in the entire palace, and the empty and silent sounds were echoing in the hall!
This existence suddenly remembered that this was not the past. He had lost his sacrifice long ago and fell into a deep sleep. At this time, he listened to the empty echoes around him, which seemed sad and happy, and he said nothing.
In front of the temple wall, it was enough to finish writing this chapter, but at the end of writing, looking at the forgotten Temple of Valor, Ye Qing suddenly felt an indescribable emotion.
This god is like this, or mortals are also like this, so there is a saying that "life is a passerby in heaven and earth", but mortals are not aware of it.
But the time-travelers cannot deceive themselves—unless they completely deny their time-traveling origins.
Suddenly he remembered a famous poem on Earth, hesitated for a moment, and finally took out a pen, dipped it in ink, wrote a poem beside the memorial text, and whispered in his mouth.
"The ancients will never be seen before, and the newcomers will never be seen after."
This book comes from "Dengyouzhou Taige" by Chen Zi'ang of the Tang Dynasty. It expresses the author's feeling that his political ambitions cannot be realized, but at this time, it is more suitable for the situation of this god and his identity as a time traveler.
Ye Qing's hand never stops, and the pen is written in a hurry to complete the book. The thick and strong bones are the face brought from the earth, and the unique style refined through the use in previous lives:
"Thinking about the long journey of heaven and earth, I shed tears with sadness!"
As he was writing this, he was enveloped in inexplicable sadness. He stopped writing for a long time and then added the following words to the right of the text: "Song of the Battlefield of the Ancient Wei Dynasty"
After finishing writing, Ye Qing couldn't help but burst into tears when he looked at the handwriting...
"The ancients will never be seen before, and the newcomers will never be seen after."
"Thinking about the long journey of heaven and earth, I shed tears with sadness!"
Who else can experience this loneliness and sigh of time and space better than the time traveler?
Finally, Ye Qing controlled his emotions, turned around and walked to the bonfire. He first took out the bread and ate it, then slowly lay down, pressing his thin lips tightly from beginning to end.
The matter has been completed. Regardless of success or failure, there will be corresponding arrangements for tomorrow. The time is so urgent that Ye Qing cannot afford to waste energy and emotion.
It’s not out of emotion, it’s just conscious!
Gradually, as Ye Qing fell asleep, the temple calmed down. However, the sacrificial inscriptions on the wall only produced some white air, which gradually became slightly red!
However, this short poem of twenty-two words continuously generates white energy, as if it has received some kind of permanent luck as soon as this chapter is published.
Finally, the walls were covered with light, white flowers stretched out, and the aura of grace illuminated the temple. As time went by, it rapidly deepened and turned into red, then orange, and then slowly slowed down until it turned into pure gold!
The bonfire crackled and swayed for a while, a flash of inspiration flashed on the statue, but it fell silent again.
The moon is setting in the west, the light is passing by, and the night is getting deeper and deeper.
