In the quiet room, curls of mist rose from the furnace, and a little red light flickered in the darkness, but the incense in the incense burner was burning continuously.
Chen Hongyu got up from the ground with a pale face and lit the oil lamp next to him.
Bright lights illuminated the entire quiet room, revealing Chen Hongyu's somewhat pale face.
At this time, memories kept floating in his mind, and pictures of the original owner's past kept emerging.
"Zhou Yu?"
Within the Xiaoling boundary, there are thirteen prefectures in the Central Plains of Daganding Town.
The body he currently occupies is the eldest son of Zhou Qi, the prefect of Shangyuan County in Jeju, Daqian.
The Zhou family is the home of the county magistrate. Most of the previous governors of Shangyuan County have good relations with the Zhou family. At the same time, people from the Zhou family often go out to serve as governors of other counties. As for Zhou Qi, because of the chaotic situation in the dynasty, he is not only the head of the Zhou family but also the head of the Zhou family. The prefect of Shangyuan County became an official directly from the local area.
However, Zhou Yu, the eldest son, was the eldest son of a concubine. He was the son of Zhou Qi and the daughter of a small businessman in the past. After all, he was a famous scholar.
Although Zhou Yu's mother entered the Zhou Mansion and gave birth to Zhou Yu, her status was not high and she was just a concubine.
Later, Zhou Yu's biological mother died of illness. In addition, his own talent was relatively dull. Not only was he not valued by his father, but he was also looked down upon and suppressed by his mother, Zhao.
After all, according to the law, a concubine also has the right to inherit property. She had already married into the Zhou family, but Zhou Qi was still living happily outside. He also welcomed Zhou Yu's mother into the Zhou family and gave birth to a child several years before her. The eldest son, so she also hated the original owner.
"This background is not bad. After all, Zhou Yu is also a member of the noble clan. Even though he is not favored by his mistress as a bastard, his status is not low, and the treatment he deserves will not be much worse."
"However, the original owner's cultivation talent is indeed not very good."
In Da Qian, the two paths of life and life coexist. Military generals practice the path of life to temper their bodies and walk across the battlefield, while scribes practice the path of life and condense their souls and enter and exit the court.
The original owner, Zhou Yu, was the eldest son of Zhou Dynasty. Although he was a concubine and was not favored by his mistress, his status was not low after all. After he was sixteen, he moved out of the mansion and lived in a villa in this county.
In terms of Confucianism, due to his status, he became a student of Zhou Tong, a famous Confucian scholar in Shangyuan County. He went to Zhou Tong's mansion to study with many fellow disciples on weekdays.
In terms of spiritual practice, he practices the Taiyin soul nourishing method of the Zhou family, and the Ningshenxiang family used for practice is also sent to him on time every month.
However, although Zhou Yu was the son of Zhou Qi, he did not inherit any of Zhou Qi's talents, and did not have much talent in cultivation or Confucianism.
In terms of Confucianism, he could barely be considered a mid-range among the dozens of disciples under Zhou Tong's sect; in terms of spiritual practice, he was about to reach the age of twenty before he successfully enlightened and officially entered the path of sexual cultivation.
This time, Zhou Qi had just entered the first level of sexual cultivation and had enlightenment, and something went wrong during the practice.
"The name Zhou Yu is really wasted!" Chen Hongyu sighed as he thought of a certain celebrity in his memory.
To practice the Way of Nature, you must first study the classics, understand the essentials clearly, then settle your mind, and finally open your mind. This is the first state of practice.
After opening the mind orifice, you can move your thoughts, get in touch with the essence of the mind, and condense the three souls of heaven, earth, and man. This is the second level of soul condensation in practice.
When the three souls are condensed, they continue to practice and strengthen the three souls, and then the three souls merge into one, condense the Yin Shen, and achieve the Yin Shen realm, the third level of the sexual path.
Ordinary people with good talents may have already entered this state of enlightenment at the age of eleven or twelve, and then began to condense their souls. And now that Zhou Yu is about to be crowned, he has only entered the state of enlightenment. It is really difficult to describe.
The system's soul time travel can be regarded as an alternative kind of reincarnation. At this time, his soul has merged with the original owner's soul, and he can be regarded as a soul-condensing monk.
Under the nourishment of the soul, the originally pale face quickly turned rosy.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside the house.
"Master, it's time to have dinner."
Hearing the familiar voice in his memory, Chen Hong was suddenly brought back from his lost thoughts and felt the hunger in his belly.
Although this Xing Dao practice is extremely fast, it naturally has shortcomings. The physical body and longevity are not as good as those of orthodox Immortal Dao monks.
In terms of longevity, even monks who have reached the perfect realm of soul condensation can only live to be about a hundred years old at most, and if their body suffers any trauma, they may die earlier.
In terms of physical body, it is better than ordinary people who do not know how to practice. Three meals a day are indispensable.
Earlier this week, Zhou Yu entered the quiet room for retreat and ordered the maid Xiao Tao to deliver three meals a day directly to the quiet room.
"Come in!"
Xiao Tao heard the sound, opened the door of the quiet room, moved to his side lightly, then squatted down, her dark green skirt being dragged on the ground.
Xiaotao lowered her head to open the food box, took out the meals one by one, and bowed before Chen Hongyu.
Chen Hongyu glanced at it and saw that it was quite rich with four dishes and one soup.
After the peaches were placed, Chen Hongyu could no longer hold back the hunger in his belly and began to eat.
Although he eats very fast, he does not gobble it up without looking like he is eating, but is extremely elegant.
The maid Xiao Tao on the side only felt that the eldest son seemed a little different from usual, but she couldn't tell the specific difference.
"Xiao Tao, what has Manager Qian been doing recently?" Chen Hongyu asked.
This money steward is the steward of his other courtyard. He is usually in charge of everything in the courtyard, including the servants from far away, his food, clothing, housing and transportation, as well as several shops under his name.
Hearing this, a strange color flashed in Xiao Tao's eyes. Normally, the eldest son never asked about such trivial matters. Why did he suddenly ask about these things today?
"Back to the eldest son, as far as I know, the money manager..."
After a period of questions and answers, Chen Hongyu had finished his meal and waved his hand for Xiao Tao to leave.
After Xiao Tao left, Chen Hongyu began to think about the current situation.
Even though he has moved out of the mansion at this time, the dozens of slaves in this mansion are all arranged by the mistress, and every move is under her sight.
He even suspected that if his predecessor had not been so talented and dull, she might have killed him secretly.
He had previously asked Xiao Tao about the current status of some of Xiaotao's mansions, and it seemed that there was no problem at all. However, no matter how small this mansion was, there were dozens of people there, so how could there be no problem at all.
Moreover, several assets under his name were also misappropriated by these servants, and the original owner didn't know much about this, but he quickly clarified the situation based on the original owner's memory.
"It seems that we can't stay in Shangyuan County any longer. The crowning ceremony will be held in half a month, so we can justifiably leave here. With the relationship between the original owner and his father Zhou Qi, he can ask for some property and leave Shangyuan County directly.
county."
"After all, only by leaving Shangyuan County can we escape the sight of our mistress Zhao and avoid possible suppression."
"But for now, the most important thing is to improve your cultivation and recuperate from your injuries."
