The early morning sunlight shines on the old wooden apartment room.
On the heavy pine bed, the man's eyelids covered in cold sweat trembled slightly and he opened his blue eyes. Although his head was still groggy, the usual biological clock still made the man wake up at the usual time.
A masculine smell of sweat mixed with the smell of tobacco hit the tip of my nose. It was very familiar to this body and was not unpleasant at all.
Looking around the room, there is a wooden floor, a wooden framed mirror, the coat that I changed out of yesterday was draped on the back of the chair next to the bed, and a relatively neat blue-black uniform is hanging on the coat rack at the corner of the bed, with a badge embroidered on it. Obviously.
They are uniforms exclusive to a certain profession. Seeing these, Kumano, who has been a policeman for more than ten years, feels very familiar and friendly.
What you enter is a typical Brooke-style room in the mid-19th century. The White Eagle Federation has only been independent from the Brooke Colony for a few decades, so naturally there are traces of Brooke everywhere.
Under the bed was a pair of mid-calf leather boots that looked like cowboy riding boots. The cowhide material seemed relatively stiff. Kumano did not wear shoes but moved his stiff body with bare feet. He shook his groggy head and touched the bathroom with something strange and familiar.
There are also copper faucets and bathtubs in the bathroom. However, the toilet still needs to be filled outside.
Coming to the mirror, an old-fashioned glass and silver mirror inlaid with red cedar wood projected a familiar yet unfamiliar face.
Looking in the mirror, a slightly haggard face appeared with some bloodshot eyes.
Kumano said in surprise: "Hey, am I reborn as a foreigner? No, this situation should be reincarnation. After all, I have experienced this life from birth to now..."
An ancient Eastern language that is extremely rare in the New Continent was spoken skillfully from John's mouth, and John was shocked when he realized something was wrong.
Looking in the mirror, his face changed drastically and he said: "No, I am John Walker, a member of Hessenser..."
His face changed again: "Hey, this should be what the forums call the mystery of the womb after reincarnation, right? My reincarnated body actually gave birth to a soul? Or maybe my true spirit experienced the catastrophe of reincarnation and voluntarily
Derive a self? No, this is me too, it’s just the consciousness that Zhenling Shen Shen has formed over the years. Haha, it’s so interesting!”
Then the face with a confident smile looked around and said:
"Year 185o in the Holy Calendar? According to the Earth's Gregorian calendar, this should be the year when Daoguang passed away, and it was also the year when Xianfeng ascended the throne. Unfortunately, the world is different, and the Qing Dynasty should also be gone, right?"
"But it's not surprising. Even gods can't understand the secret of reincarnation. I was accidentally involved in the rift in time and space. It's an accident if nothing else happens..."
…
The people in the mirror keep changing their expressions. Although they have the same face, anyone can tell that they are two people with completely different personalities, just like identical twins.
After a while, the face with the mysterious smile gradually disappeared and was replaced by the original ordinary face that was slightly old-fashioned but full of youthful vitality.
"I am who I am. I am the people's policeman Xiong Ye in my previous life. I am also a descendant of the illegitimate son of the Heisenser family in this life. I am the son of the former patriarch's butler. I am a retainer loyal to the noble blood of Heisenser for generations. I am the eldest son of the family, Klaus.
·Van Hessensel’s personal servants and attendants will also be Master Claus’s butler in the future!”
Seeing the unfamiliar expression on the face disappear, John breathed a sigh of relief.
You are still yourself.
It's just awakening the memory of the past life or waking up from the mystery in the womb.
Because he has more than twenty years of vivid memories and life in this life, Kumano or John quickly accepted the fact. After all, reincarnation means new life. The life and experience in this life are the most vivid to him, and also
What is most suitable for this world is that the memories of more than thirty years in his previous life seem to have been separated by a very long time. However, after the brief integration before, his current character is still affected to some extent.
John also knows that although he has awakened the memory of his past life now, his soul is more powerful than ordinary mortals, but it is not much stronger than ordinary people. However, in the past life, the mortal power, gods or magic that a group of them pursued on the Internet and in reality,
I didn't expect him to prove it in this way.
After all, being able to be reincarnated as a human being means that the soul really exists. This is the basis for the existence of many mysteries and mortals.
The two facial changes just now were just the conflict between the two personalities in the past life and the present. It was because the memory of the past life suddenly awakened and the personality of the previous life was involuntarily brought into it.
John frowned when he thought of what happened last night.
Even without awakening the memory of his past life, he could still sense that something was wrong. It was just a habit for him to remain expressionless, and his somewhat dull personality was a result of being trained by aristocratic butlers since he was a child. It does not mean that he is stupid.
And his many years of police experience in his previous life allowed him to smell the existence of a conspiracy.
"Although the method that can cause the soul to leave the body is not a direct killing, the soul of a mortal who does not know how to practice will most likely be unable to return after leaving the body and will have to dissipate. Isn't this not much different from murder?"
"Who on earth has a grudge against me?"
John glanced towards the room upstairs and said to himself:
"Or maybe I'm just incidental, and Master Klaus is the main target. My coma last night was just an accident, and I just suffered it on behalf of others."
Turning on the faucet, the soothing water flowed out, and he patted his face with cold water. John, who felt much more energetic, returned to the living room, sat down on the bed, and began to sort out the memories in his mind.
In his previous life, his name was Xiong Ye, and he came from a family in a compound. His father and peers were either in the army or the police. Although they were not from a powerful family, they had enough food and clothing since he was a child. The environment he lived in since he was a child also allowed him to raise
He has developed a firm character and a tough style. The rigid life in the police academy and the police force all year round has left him somewhat empty in his heart, and talking nonsense with a group of friends is him.
The biggest hobby.
There is a trace of this world in the memory of this life, and it is obvious that it has the existence of extraordinary power. In this way, he who longed for extraordinary power in his previous life felt an inexplicable excitement and yearning.
The difference between the two worlds and the conflict between the two memories and personalities made him feel a little confused now.
For example, the sheriff's uniform hanging on the wall is different from the simplicity of modern police uniforms on Earth. In his opinion, it looks a bit like the Western military uniforms from the 18th and 19th centuries in the previous life, a period in which ancient military uniforms are evolving into modern ones.
, in fact, the uniforms of the sheriffs in his White Eagle Federation are all designed to imitate the federal military uniforms, but the police badges are different. The federal military uniforms are imitated from the former master Brooke Royal Navy and the 6th Army.
"However, Brooke's country is very similar to England in the previous life in my memory. They are both constitutional monarchies and have vast colonies. I just don't know if the historical exhibition in this life will be similar to the previous one? Is it a coincidence?
?”
John had no way of knowing this, but he was more concerned about his own spiritual practice.
I gestured at my current body shape and found that my height in my memory was six feet two inches. The height in this world was about the same as the feet in my previous life, so I was probably close to 1.9 meters tall, which was half a head taller than in my previous life.
"Yeah! The foundation is pretty good..."
John said with satisfaction.
So this height is considered superior to others in this world and in previous lives. Moreover, the body is healthy and strong through regular exercise. According to common sense in Taoism, it is easier to start practicing if you have sufficient vitality. If you have a sick body, it will
If you are unable to withstand high-intensity exercise, you may not be able to achieve success even if you practice.
This made John very satisfied.
Although according to the ancient saying in the Chinese cultivation world, as long as there is no disability or defect, height and appearance cannot determine the success of cultivation, beauty and ugliness will still have an impact on practitioners.
People who practice Buddhism have always been outstanding and unique.
"But the so-called appearance comes from the heart, although it is not absolute, it still has an influence of 60 to 70%. For example, unless an ugly person is the kind of humorous, open-minded, worldly master who plays in the world, otherwise over the years, most of them will become
Developing a low self-esteem or a cynical temperament can easily lead to trouble due to jealousy on the path of spiritual practice. This is the so-called human calamity. Taking a closer look at their own immortal cultivation, there have always been many practitioners who have fallen due to quarrels and disputes of temper.
Although I don’t take it seriously, there is always something to learn from.”
John has been in the forum for eight or nine years in his previous life, so he is considered an old man, and he still understands this basic common sense.
"The most important thing is that this world is completely different from the environment of the previous life in the Dharma Ending Age!"
Pushing open the small window of the bathroom, John took a deep breath. He had never felt it before, but now that he had awakened his past life memories, he suddenly felt the difference in the environment of this world.
While taking a deep breath, a trace of active gas was swallowed up by the lungs. This body was accustomed to this before, but now it feels a very subtle change, indicating that the spiritual energy in this world is much more abundant than in the previous life.
The ancient immortals ate the wind and drank the dew, collecting the essence of the sun and the moon, and used it to cultivate their divine form. Spiritual energy is the basic condition for cultivation.
John immediately roughly deduced that the concentration of spiritual energy in this world was at least dozens of times that of the ordinary environment in the previous life. After all, except for a few places in the previous life, the existence of spiritual energy was rarely felt in the world, and they, the spiritual enthusiasts, were completely
You can’t cultivate any ordinary supernatural powers. However, there are still ways to sense spiritual energy, and there is official proof of the existence of spiritual energy. Otherwise, there would not be tens of thousands of enthusiasts on this forum who are struggling to pursue mortals and immortality, and they would have given up long ago.
Such a delusion.
"Although this is not comparable to the prosperity of immortality in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, it is almost equivalent to the Song and Yuan Dynasties, right?"
Many great gods on past life forums have posted that the decisive factor affecting the cycle of activities in the spiritual world is the fluctuation of spiritual energy, which in Western terms is the magic tide or elemental tide.
"During the Song and Yuan Dynasties, it was an era when immortals and immortals still remained in the world, and the blessed land of caves and heavens existed in the world. Human beings, immortals, ghosts and immortals roamed the earth. The real people and Taoists in the Ming and Qing Dynasties were just juniors who stood out in that environment.
.”
"It seems that the world in this life is quite different from the previous life!"
John closed the window and sighed as he looked at the familiar mirror in the bathroom.
Glass mirrors were still very valuable items in the 19th century, and were generally imported from the West. Although they were not as expensive as they were in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, when they were worth several thousand taels of silver, such a large piece was still worth several hundred taels.
Right? This is wealth that ordinary people will never see in their lifetime.
And John has never been the kind of rich playboy who ignores worldly things in his life, so he naturally knows the price of mirrors. Although this large mirror seemed to only cost one hundred and eighty yuan in his previous life, in this world, this one and a half
A mirror as tall as a person would cost at least several gold pounds, which would be equivalent to dozens of taels of silver in the Qing Dynasty at the same time in the previous life.
According to long-standing memory, when Gengzi paid compensation, it seemed that one tael of silver was equal to 0.15 pounds or 0.75 US dollars. The value of the gold pound in the federation in this life is estimated to be between the pound and the US dollar in the mid-19th century.
In this life's impression, ordinary people can't afford such a large glass mirror. Most hostesses of ordinary people only have cheap small mirrors as big as tofu or even as big as a palm.
John, who was thinking a lot in his mind, finished washing as usual, cleaned up his appearance, took off the shirt that smelled of tobacco and sweat that he had been wearing last night, and put on a clean Sheriff's uniform, with a straight body.
Wearing a handsome dark blue uniform and cowhide police boots, although he doesn't look handsome, this outfit immediately makes him energetic.
"Sure enough, it's the clothes that make a person, and the police uniform is so comfortable to wear!"
Amelia, the New Continent, and the Northern White Eagle Federation are similar in terms of geographical location and national composition to the famous Lighthouse of Liberty in the previous life and the Citistate of North America.
Even though he was a policeman who was too busy to have any personal time in his previous life, in that era of advanced information, he was somewhat familiar with the situation in various countries around the world. At least some well-known old and American figures such as "Washington" and "Black Uncle Lincoln" were well-known in the United States.
Even primary school students have learned about these characters in their history textbooks.
Although this world is not the same, it is the same as America at the same time in the previous life. It was in the mid-19th century, just a few decades after the independence of the country, so the memories in my mind also have a lot to draw from.
With twenty years of experience in this life and reference from historical prophets, John did not feel much uneasiness about the situation in this world.
John walked downstairs with steady new steps.
"Just let me walk an ordinary path in this world!"
