The moon is bright and the night is cold, and the buildings are hundreds of feet tall.
Looking down from the top of the building, densely packed corpse monsters were jumping and roaring.
The pungent smell of decay from their bodies reaches straight into the sky.
Someone pushed him behind him. The dancing horse fell from the roof of the building. In his sight, the windows between the floors quickly receded.
The dancing horse is about to fall into a group of corpse monsters.
He moved his gaze upwards, and saw a woman with long hair and a blurry face standing on the edge of the roof, looking at him coldly.
The next moment, the dancing horse fell, and a dense crowd of corpses rushed forward.
"No!"
The dancing horse wakes up from a nightmare.
He opened his eyes, and in front of him was a white bed, mahogany furniture, and antique furnishings everywhere.
Quiet and elegant.
A burst of sandalwood scented his nose, making him feel relaxed.
Dancing Horse remembered.
He has said goodbye to the apocalypse where zombies are rampant, to the endless zombie monsters, and to the heartless women.
It’s so damn cool.
Wu Ma took a deep breath and gradually calmed down.
At this moment, his time coordinate is the thirteenth year of the Sui Dynasty's great cause.
To be precise, it should be a fantasy version of the Sui Dynasty.
Otherwise, there is no way to explain everything Wu Ma has just experienced, especially the "Datang Monster Illustrated Book" in his head and Tian Deping's bloody sacrifice.
The geographical coordinates at this time: Jinyang, Taiyuan.
A major historical event is about to happen: Jinyang raises troops.
No, it should be said that the Jinyang uprising has already happened.
The dancing horse participated in the dance, leaping and leaping to survive, which affected the process of Jinyang's military uprising, and may be recorded in the annals of history.
After getting rid of the nightmare, Wu Ma's mind became clearer.
He touched his smooth lower abdomen. The six-pack abs were still there. The wound opened by Tian Deping yesterday did not leave any trace, as if it was just a dream. This also seemed to hint to him that everything would be brand new.
Wu Ma slowly sat up from the bed and looked outside.
The bloody night in Juncheng Mansion has just passed, and it is the time when the sun rises in the early morning of the next day.
Half of the bright sunlight peeked out and reflected on the window paper like a layer of gold.
Wu Ma walked to the window sill and opened one in a hurry, and the rising sunlight flooded his face.
In May in Taiyuan, the courtyard is full of greenery, and the sky outside is clear and blue.
The dancing horse felt like a world away, and he thought to himself: "I survived after all."
It's over. All the difficulties and hardships and all the unbearable pain have passed. From now on, Dancing Horse has to look forward.
A cool breeze suddenly blew up, making the leaves in the courtyard rustle.
There seemed to be footsteps in the yard, and the dancing horse looked around warily.
Qingxia, with her bare white feet, was dancing with a sword in the corner of the courtyard. The flowing clouds and flowing water were as graceful as butterflies, which was very beautiful.
"Aren't you afraid of catching a cold?" Wu Ma smacked her mouth. I have seen characters like this in novels who don't like to wear shoes or socks, and I always thought it was outrageous. I didn't expect that I would meet him as soon as I traveled through time.
Seeing the dancing horse opening the window, Qingxia drew a circle and sheathed her sword, smiled and waved to him. Then she started dancing again.
Although she doesn't have the identity of a hostess, she feels very comfortable as a hostess. Dancing Horse admires her a little.
After watching for a while, Wu Ma closed the window.
What he was facing now was a fantastic and brand-new world.
How to live this life?
Dancing Horse just wants to be free and free, and never spend the whole day among the disgusting ghouls again.
It is best to be alone without worries and to grow old alone.
How to realize your own life value?
First of all, we will never do the horse dance in Wenzhao Gong's business. This routine is everywhere in the novel and online dramas. The audience is not tired of it, and the horse dance will make them vomit. If you can't copy something new, it is better not to copy it. Of course, there are
Two very important reasons - first, one must have sufficient knowledge to write those famous poems that have been passed down through the ages. Wu Ma can't even figure out the rhymes and rhymes, and if you take it seriously, there are loopholes everywhere; second, Wu Ma's belly
I really don’t have many good poems saved, and I don’t have to copy them even if I want to.
Inventing the internal combustion engine of the steam engine and improving productivity were not Wu Ma's strengths. Wu Ma probably knew the principle of the steam engine, but was confused by the details of its production.
To be honest, you can't even make a small piece of soap, a clear mirror, or a dancing horse. This is a very realistic situation.
As for the matter of saving the country, saving the people, and turning the tide of heaven, Li Shimin had to do it himself. The emperor did a good job, but he might not be able to do it if he were to dance on a horse.
What really interests Dancing Horse is this world.
It is this fantasy version of the Sui and Tang Dynasties that seems to be on the established historical track, but suddenly tries hard to go off the rails.
Sacrifice, ancient gods, awakened disciples, furbolgs, ancient green lantern Buddhas, spiritual objects, and the Tang Dynasty Monster Illustrated Book all gave Wu Ma a strong interest and desire to explore.
How interesting are these words and the world behind them.
Human life is limited, and dancing horses should devote their limited lives to infinite exploration of the unknown world.
Thinking of this, Wu Ma couldn't help but feel excited.
He has already thought about what to do next.
The first thing is to visit the awakened disciple Liu Wenjing. Wu Ma needs to understand as much as possible about the world.
The second thing is that on the basis of further enhancing their understanding, Wu Ma plans to start a new round of research on the illustrations as soon as possible - after the decisive battle in the secret room, some new changes have appeared in the illustrations of the bear monster and the ancient Buddha blue lantern.
There are also Tian Deping's eyes. Wu Ma has some suspicions in his mind and can't wait for further verification.
After making up his mind, he quickly went to get dressed. Tian Deping's clothes were full of blood and he had thrown them away last night.
Li Shimin asked someone to prepare a set of futou and round-neck robes for the dancing horse.
Wu Ma knew that this was the standard configuration of men's clothing in the Sui Dynasty. Although it was not very comfortable, he had no choice.
After getting dressed unskillfully, I was about to go out when there was an inappropriate knock on the door.
"Dancer-kun,"
Qingxia's voice came from outside the door, "Liu Wenjing and Yuwen Jianxue would like to see you."
Wu Ma quickly figured out the reason why Liu Wenjing came to him - probably because what happened last night fully demonstrated the value of Wu Ma, Li Shimin had the idea of wooing Wu Ma, and Liu Wenjing came to lobby.
Then, the initiative lies in your own hands.
Wu Ma thought for a moment and straightened his clothes in front of the bronze mirror. He walked out of the bedroom and came to the main hall. He leisurely sat down on the master's chair in the middle and said:
"welcome."
…
When Liu Wenjing insisted on taking Yuwen Jianxue to visit the dancing horse, Yuwen Jianxue was very reluctant.
It's not that Yuwen Jianxue has any objection to horse dancing. It's just that she joined Liu Wenjing's disciples, firstly to appreciate his life-saving grace, and more importantly, to practice the art of awakening in order to avenge the bloody sea.
Now, after studying the art for six years, her skills have not yet been achieved, her family feud has not been avenged, and her archenemy Yang Guang is still living happily in Jiangdu. She really wants to spend all her time practicing the art of enlightenment.
She didn't want to get involved in other matters except for Tang Gong's uprising and killing the enemy.
Moreover, when we were about to visit this person now, both Master and Erlang of the Li family said that he was an outsider who kept his secrets secret, but Yuwen Jianxue felt that he was more of a pretentious person.
Master has said that the spiritual world is just opening up now, and the enlightenment technique has not yet been established into a system, and all learning needs to be explored. It is also the time when hermits and masters are emerging in large numbers. If you finally meet the masters, you should learn more and exchange more, maybe there will be unexpected gains.
Of course, the most important purpose of this visit was to win the dancing horse under the command of Duke Tang and help them overthrow the Sui Dynasty.
The master said that if Yang Guang is defeated by Wu Sui, it will be over, and your blood feud will be avenged, so you must help the master.
Anyway, no matter what, Yuwen Jianxue couldn't resist his teacher's orders, so he came to visit him too.
…
Sitting on the chair in the main hall, looking at the dancing horse who was calmly drinking tea, Liu Wenjing had to admit that he brought Yuwen Jianxue with him because he wanted to use a honey trap.
After all, Li Shimin hinted at Wu Ma last night to solicit him, but the other party didn't respond at all, so he may not have other ideas in mind.
However, apart from the pleasantries before entering the door, Wu Ma didn't even look at his apprentice.
Obviously the dancer is not the one he is interested in. The beauty plot has been abandoned.
Before visiting Wu Ma, Li Shimin specifically told him that he must find ways to keep this person. At any cost.
Of course Liu Wenjing also wanted to keep the dancing horse.
Tang Gong is about to raise his army. Recruiting one more awakened disciple will be an extra achievement, and it will also help him raise his army.
In the future, when the General's Office is established, Liu Wenjing's position will be moved further forward.
He and Pei Ji have been secretly arguing about this.
Damn it.
If she fights to the end and is ranked behind Pei Ji, a madam who can only give women to Mr. Tang, Liu Wenjing feels that she really has no face to meet Mr. Jiangdong.
Desperate to make meritorious deeds, Liu Wenjing decided to get straight to the point. Moreover, I heard that hermit masters don't like to talk in circles.
"Dancer-kun,"
Liu Wenjing touched the hot teacup, and there was a boiling blood in her heart. It was even hotter than the teacup in her hand.
"Please forgive me for speaking frankly. A true man lives between heaven and earth. He should work hard to make achievements so that his life in this world will not be wasted.
Nowadays, the emperor is violent and excessive, and all the heroes have risen up. No one but the genius of Emperor Guangwu, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, could bring peace to the world.
Zhaoren believed that he had good vision and that the Li family and his son were the talents who aspired to become world leaders.
Now that Tang Gong is about to raise an army, Qianlong can display his ambitions. Since Wulangjun has extraordinary abilities, why not join him, make great achievements, acquire all the talents, and bring peace to the world for the sake of a prosperous age?"
Similar words have impressed Pei Ji, Li Shimin, Tang Gong, and many heroes in Taiyuan. Liu Wenjing has become as familiar with them as eating and drinking. When I say them this time, I feel that I am 100% sure to succeed again.
Unexpectedly, the dancing horse was silent, seeming to be thinking, but also seemed to be distracted.
Liu Wenjing was a little confused about his thoughts, so she said, "Wu Langjun feels that Duke Tang is rare in the world, and there is someone else who wants to win the title."
The dancing horse shakes its head.
"That means Mr. Wu Lang thinks that I am overly praised for Erlang's talent?"
Wu Ma said: "I just feel that these things you said are not what I want to do."
This answer was unexpected by Liu Wenjing.
If Liu Wenjing thinks about it, when a man is in troubled times, besides making contributions and making achievements to bring peace to the world, what other option does he have?
He thought about it and suddenly understood.
Since ancient times, those hermits and masters have claimed that they have looked down on fame and fortune and are tired of the intrigues in the world.
However, these hermits are not seamless eggs, nor are they people who do not eat daily necessities - they often have a saint's heart, and this is where Liu Wenjing comes in.
"How about helping people in need?"
Liu Wenjing said: "Now that the world is in chaos and wars are raging, and the people are suffering unspeakably, we have a unique knowledge and should take it as our own responsibility to save the common people. It is a shame to be independent and humble. What do you think of the dancing man?"
Wu Ma said: "Brother Zhao Ren is right."
"Wu Lang-kun just agreed?"
"I mean,"
Wu Ma said: "Brother Zhao Ren said before that Erlang of the Tang family has the talent to become the world leader. This is correct.
Moreover, I predict that the Jinyang rebel army, led by Duke Tang and Erlang of the Tang family, will win every battle, open up a new dynasty, and stabilize the world.
When the Duke of Tang comes to rule the world in the future, he will surely create an unprecedented prosperous dynasty, and the time when the people of the Central Plains will have enough food, clothing, stability and enjoyment is not far away, so - one more of me, one less of me, will not hinder the salvation of the common people."
Liu Wenjing listened to the first few words and felt happy in her heart.
As a result, the last sentence of the twist pulled him straight to the bottom. I just felt that this person's thinking was really fast, and it was really difficult to communicate with him.
Just when he didn't know what to say, Yuwen Jianxue behind him suddenly said: "Wu Langjun has no intention of becoming a king or prime minister, nor does he want to save people in distress. I dare to ask you, as an upright man, what are your plans for the future of your family."
"oh,"
Wu Ma then glanced at her and said, "I plan to study the art of enlightenment... This should be quite interesting."
