Walking up the vermilion stairs to the second floor, I just opened the door, and the same scene every day greeted my eyes. Si Yin, who was reclining on the beige rattan chair, was drinking the freshly brewed West Lake Longjing while reading the morning newspaper of the day. The long black hair fell down like a waterfall, with a faint luster. The light golden sunlight outlines perfect lines along his thick eyelashes, straight nose, and thin lips. Hearing the sound of me pushing the door, he slowly raised his head. Si Yin has a pair of beautiful eyes, or rather bewitching, one eye is silver like moonlight, the other is lavender like violet, he glanced at me with those strange eyes, and nodded slightly. nodded.
Because of these eyes and his unchanging face, I have doubted countless times whether he is human or not.
“Master, brother hasn’t come back yet? I see he had a great time in Babylon, right?” In front of him, I didn’t dare to call him by name.
He took a sip of tea and said, “Asuka is a very measured person.” He put down the teacup and said, “By the way, starting today, you will start to complete the entrusted tasks, you are ready Already?”
“Of course! Master, I’m very excited, but…” I looked around, “Why didn’t I see the client?”
There was an elusive look on his face and he said: “Didn’t I say that, not everyone can entrust, and those who come here are predestined people.”
By the way, Si Yin said that as long as people who are entangled in past and present lives will dream of this place, many people will not remember it when they wake up, and many people don’t believe it at all. People will find this place. For the vast majority of people, this is just a teahouse, a very ordinary teahouse.
Boom, boom, there was a knock on the door suddenly, I looked up, and immediately said loudly: “Come in!” The door was slowly pushed open, and a timid voice sounded: “Excuse me, may I ask, is this really the place?” Can you entrust me?”
I followed the prestige and saw a girl in white clothes who was about my age was standing by the door, her pretty face was full of disbelief.
“You are dreaming…”
“Yes, yes, I had such a dream, so…” She looked a little excited, and quickly interrupted my words.
“So, what do you want to entrust?” Si Yin said coldly behind me. The girl glanced at Si Yin and was obviously taken aback. This reaction was normal. Any woman would react like this when she saw a super handsome guy like Si Yin, and some were even more exaggerated.
“Can it really be entrusted?” She still couldn’t believe it.
“Of course.”
“It’s really… really great.” She looked so excited that she was about to shed tears, “I’m also dreaming, right?” I couldn’t help but smiled and shook my head, many clients would be like this look.
She calmed down slowly, took a deep breath, and began to speak:
“My name is Liu Yan, and I started playing a very popular game with my classmates four months ago – Please Pen Fairy. It was crazy at the time, so I invited and talked to Yi every day – oh, Yi is His name. After that, Yiyi never went back, and has been attached to me. He said that he was my lover in the previous life, and he would enter my dreams every night. It’s over, so this time I finally met me, he will follow me all the time, he said he will—take me back.” Her expression was complicated, and there was a hint of panic.
It turned out to be a pen fairy, and this kind of game is said to be quite popular among college girls. Asking the pen fairy or the dish fairy is derived from one of the oldest witchcraft in China, “Fuji”, also known as Lingzishu. The so-called pen fairy, that is, the spirit, is a kind of bardo body. After death, a person enters the bardo world and becomes the bardo body. The bardo body is a life that has not been reincarnated after death. He does not have a fixed shape of the body, but due to the inertia of thinking, the body conceived by his own mind will have the shape of the previous life. feature. Most of these spirits are relatively weak, so it’s okay to invite them out once in a while. But there are two “times of encountering the devil” in a day, one is when the sun just sets, and the other is between midnight and two o’clock in the middle of the night. “When the Devil Meets”. Inviting immortals during these two periods makes it easier to provoke evil spirits with stronger spiritual power.
“The pen fairy is not a high-level spirit, so I’ll take him in for you.” I said with a bit of disdain, the task of the first client was too simple, and there was no need to travel through time and space. Receiving spirits is one of the most basic spells in spiritism. Low-level spirits and medium-level spirits are easy to deal with, and the current pen fairy, chopsticks fairy, and mirror fairy all belong to this category.
“Don’t!” Her complexion changed, and she quickly stopped her.
“Then let him take you back?” I said with a smile, “You know, he can only take your spirit back, but not your body. You are dead, understand?”
“Don’t…” She shook her head, and said softly, “Can you not hurt him, and don’t let him take me back? He is really good to me. If anything bad happens, he will always He will tell me in advance that he will always be by my side to protect me, so I don’t want to hurt him…I want to entrust you to my past life…”
“Understood, let’s go to your previous life to find the root cause of why you and him ended in tragedy three times. If you change the root cause, the result will naturally change, then there will be no problem.” Si Yin said lightly.
“My God! Really, is there really time travel?” Liu Yan still had an incredible expression.
“Come here.” Si Yin beckoned, and when Liu Yan came to him, he stretched out his right index finger to touch the center of her brow, closed his eyes, and chanted a mantra, a ball of white light gradually condensed in the Between Liu Yan’s brows, there is a word: Liao; when the word Liao fades away, another word appears: Han; when the Chinese character fades, another word appears clearly: Qin. Looking at the scene in front of me, I couldn’t help but be a little surprised. Usually, the dynasty where the roots are located emerges. Why are there three today. My God, don’t you let me go to all three dynasties?
When the handwriting faded away, Si Yin withdrew his hand and said in a low voice: “It really is the tribulation of love in the third world.” He paused and said: “I want your pen fairy to show up, and I have something to ask him.” He took out a talisman, recited the incantation silently, clamped the talisman with his index finger and middle finger, threw it on the ground, and a puff of white smoke rose slowly.
“Master? Where is the spirit? Where is it?” Seeing nothing in front of me, I asked quickly.
“It’s by your side.” He said lightly.
I turned my head to one side, and a tall figure suddenly appeared to my left, which scared me back a few steps. Although I am not afraid of Ling, but he suddenly appeared by my side in such a way, it would naturally startle me, he would scare people to death.
After I regained my composure, I vaguely saw the man beside me. He is in his twenties, with a handsome face and a heroic face, but he is wearing weird clothes. Thanks to the TV series, I can tell that they are ethnic minority clothes. Could it be that this man is from the Liao Dynasty?
“You, you are exactly the same as in the dream…” Liu Yan murmured with a shocked expression on her face.
“You heard what we said just now, what do you want to say, Yelu Abaoji?”
Si Yin’s words surprised both Liu Yan and me, Yelu Abaoji, could it be the founder of the Khitan Dynasty in history, the famous Liao Taizu Abaoji? I didn’t expect such a big brand to come. Shocked, I looked at him a few more times.
Liu Yan turned even paler, “You, didn’t you tell me your name is Yi? It turns out that you are such a famous person…”
A Baoji didn’t deny it, he looked at Liu Yan closely, his eyes rolled, and he seemed to have a thousand words. And Liu Yan looked at him in surprise, and the expression on his face was constantly changing.
“That’s my Chinese name. Besides, it doesn’t matter what the name is, I’m always me.” He said in a deep voice, then turned to Si Yin and said, “Sure enough, I’m an expert, so I’ll cut to the chase , Tell me the story of me and her.
“The tragedy between me and Ayan began more than two thousand years ago. At that time, she was the daughter of the Taibu of the Qin State, named Ming Yan, and I was Li Xin, the general of the Qin State. I have been with her since we were young. We are in love with each other, and we have privately made a lifelong agreement. In the future, we must be married and never leave each other. In the eyes of everyone, we have long been a couple, and we just wait for an appropriate time to announce this matter. At this moment, I I was ordered to go on an expedition, and before I went to the expedition, I went to her house to propose a marriage, and after getting the consent, I embarked on the journey with excitement, and my desire to come back to see her soon made me very motivated, and soon I led the army to triumph.”
Having said this, he paused for a moment, as if he was recalling something painful. “I thought that what I saw when I went back was her flowery smile, but who knew——what I saw was her tomb. I was like crazy at the time. I grabbed them and asked why, how could she die when she was so good? After knowing the reason, the grief was even more unbearable. It turned out that my younger brother had always loved her, and while I was away… insulted her, her parents were afraid that the family scandal would be publicized, so they forced her to marry my younger brother. On that day, she committed suicide. I killed my younger brother in a fit of rage, and after all hope was lost, I killed myself in front of her grave.”
I glanced at Liu Yan, her eyes were flushed with tears.
“In the second life, I was reincarnated as Huo Qubing, a general of the Han Dynasty, and she was Li Guang’s youngest daughter. I had mutual affection with her, but I didn’t cherish the opportunity to meet again. At that time, I said’ The Xiongnu is still alive, so why is my family? I was young and energetic, and only wanted to make contributions, and even shot her favorite brother Li Gan to death with my own hands. Since then, the love has ceased, and she hastily married with hatred for me. However, I continued to fight on the battlefield, and soon passed away suddenly due to illness. As a result, I still failed to catch her that time.”
I couldn’t help but glance at him again, this man is still casting around to reincarnate some famous people.
“The third life is ridiculous. In my previous life, I was still expelling the Huns, but in the third life I became the Khitan emperor of the Liao Kingdom. She was also reborn as Han Yan, the daughter of the Han Yanhui whom I appointed. I fell in love with her at first sight and accepted her as my concubine despite the objections of the courtiers, but God was always making fun of me. Just the day before she entered the palace, news came that their whole family was killed by robbers. How can there be such a coincidence in the world What happened? Although I suspected that the empress Shuluping sent someone to do it, but I had no evidence, so I passed her again.”
“Do you have no memory of your previous life in every life?” I looked at him puzzled.
He shook his head and said: “Only at the moment of my death, the memories of the previous lives will appear. And after each reincarnation, the memories will be forgotten, so I decided not to reincarnate again, I have been waiting there for Ayan’s call to bring her back.”
“Wait? What if she didn’t invite a pen fairy?” I asked curiously.
He showed a bitter smile, “So, I have been waiting for more than a thousand years.”
“What, then if she hasn’t called you, have you been waiting?” I was a little surprised.
“Yes, wait until she appears, one thousand years, two thousand years, three thousand years, and so on.” He said firmly. While I was stunned, I was also a little moved. Turning my head to look at Liu Yan, she was already in tears.
“One billion…” Liu Yan called out in a low voice, raised her head, and looked at A Baoji with blurred eyes.
A Baoji looked at her calmly, and the two stared deeply at each other. At this time, Liu Yan must be in a state of confusion.
“Then, the commission is established.” Si Yin’s stern voice broke the atmosphere.
“Yeah.” Liu Yan nodded.
“Don’t worry, I will definitely find out the root cause and resolve your tribulation, definitely.”
When I said this, my nose was sore, and my heart was a little stuffy. I don’t know if it was because of their sad love for three generations, or Abaoji’s hopeless waiting. If there is a man waiting for me for thousands of years, no matter whether he is a man, a ghost or a demon, I… I will marry him!
Si Yin stood up suddenly and threw a spell at A Baoji. After the white smoke passed, A Baoji disappeared, “Liu Yan, A Baoji will stay here for the time being. You can go first. I will then You will be notified.”
There seemed to be tears in the corners of Liu Yan’s eyes, she nodded slightly, turned around and walked out the door. After walking a few steps, I stopped, turned to look at me and said, “Please help us.”
I nodded heavily and watched her step out of the room. The moment she stepped out, her memory in this room was also erased at the same time. Only after my mission was completed, Si Yin’s dream Only then will she be called back again, and after she sheds a tear, everything about this teahouse in her past and present life will disappear forever in her memory.
“Master, where should I go then?” I asked impatiently.
Si Yin looked at me and said, “What do you think?”
I thought for a while and said: “It should be Qin State in the Warring States Period. This is their first life. If his brother’s atrocities can be prevented, then Liu Yan can marry A Baoji smoothly. The first life’s The love disaster is resolved, and the future will be changed.”
“Well, there is progress.” Si Yin seemed to have a faint smile on his face, “The exact time you arrived should be the eighth year of Qin Wangzheng, Shangdang County originally belonged to the sixth city of Zhao State Returning to Zhao, one month before Li Xin was ordered to lead his troops to conquer.”
I suddenly thought of a question and said: “It only takes about two months to stay there.” It seems that it is not difficult, and I will be back soon, and a month in a different time and space is equivalent to reality One day in the world, which means I can be back in two days.
Si Yin nodded and said, “Yes, this task should not be difficult to complete.” He paused and said, “Where’s your spell?”
I touched the inner pocket of my shirt and said with a smile, “I take them with me.”
“Try not to use spells in front of people unless absolutely necessary.”
“Don’t worry, master, even if I don’t use spells, I will finish the task quickly. Just prepare to let me go.” I can’t wait at all, and want to start my promising job right away.
Si Yin walked over, took out a string of crystal bracelets from his arms, and put them in my hand. There are eight crystals in total, with eight different colors of red, purple, white, green, yellow, and gold. , every one is crystal clear, with a faint luster. Si Yin said solemnly: “These eight crystals represent water, wood, fire, metal, earth, wind, darkness, and fierceness. Remember not to lose it. If one is missing, I cannot call you back.”
I nodded. I have seen the same crystal bracelet in the hands of my seniors. Ordinary crystals are commonly used to create barriers and prevent harassment from the spiritual world. The string of crystals that Si Yin gave us is still Possessing the spiritual power to travel through time and space is extremely precious. I put the bracelet on my wrist, praying secretly that I must not lose it, I don’t want to spend the rest of my life in ancient times. Moreover, if you can’t come back, there will be even more dire consequences.
“Master, don’t worry, I will definitely complete the task.” I was very excited.
“Why, do you want to leave just like that?” Si Yin glanced at me.
“Well, that’s right, I understand what Master said, hurry up and send me back to the Warring States Period. I want to help Liu Yan and A Baoji quickly, oh no, it should be Mingyan and Li Xin. “I said impatiently.
He looked at me, and suddenly said: “Ye Yin, you have to remember that you must never have any emotional entanglements with any figures in history, otherwise I will not be able to save you. This is just a business, don’t get involved I have no feelings for myself. I will send you to Xianyang City, and the next thing is up to you. If you are in danger, please contact me through ‘wind’, and I will recall you to modern times, understand?” He pointed Pointing to the purple crystal on my wrist.
There was a warm feeling in my heart, and I smiled and said: “It turns out that Master still cares about me.”
There seemed to be something flashing in his eyes, he turned his head sideways, and said coldly: “I’m afraid you will lose my face because of your poor skills.”
“Master, don’t quibble, haha.” I laughed.
“Okay, let’s go.” Si Yin returned to his usual demeanor. He put something in my pocket, took a few steps back, sat cross-legged in front of me, put his hands together, and began to chant mantras in his mouth. I was surprised to find that the eight crystals on my wrist began to glow , getting brighter and more dazzling, so that I couldn’t open my eyes, my whole body was getting hotter and hotter, my consciousness gradually began to blur, and I could vaguely hear the voice of Si Yin: “The gate of time and space in the dark, please open now.” Open…” After that, I couldn’t hear anything clearly.
My whole body is enveloped by the colorful light emitted by the crystal, and I only feel the scorching heat in my whole body, which is very uncomfortable. It turned out that traveling through time and space is not a fun thing. My breathing seemed to stop, everything in front of me became more and more blurred, and the voice of the secretary sound became farther and farther away. A burst of headache finally made me completely lose consciousness.
I don’t know how long it took before I woke up slowly, my whole body was sore and sore as if it had fallen apart. He opened his eyes suddenly, and couldn’t help shouting “Ah”, the surrounding area was overgrown with weeds, and it was desolate. Where was the slightest shadow of the city? Master, master, this error is too big. Although Tai Bu is just an ordinary subordinate official who is responsible for divination in response to the emperor’s order, it is impossible to be in such a barren mountain and remote place, so he was a little nervous for a while.
When I slowly calmed down, I quickly touched the inside pocket of my shirt and took it out to have a look. The bracelet, too. Suddenly remembered what Si Yin had put in the pocket of my white coat, and when I took it out, I couldn’t help being overjoyed, it turned out to be a few pieces of fine jade. Si Yin was very thoughtful, he won’t have to worry about money for the time being after becoming these jades.
But the most important thing right now is how to get to Xianyang? If it was in the country of Zhao like “Looking for the Qin”, I would really vomit blood. Glancing at the crystal on my wrist, I suppressed the idea of asking Si Yin, the first time I performed a mission, I couldn’t let him underestimate it. I don’t believe I can’t make it to Xianyang.
Calculating my mind, I sat down cross-legged, took out the spell, recited the spell silently, and began to summon the floating spirits nearby. The dead, who don’t believe that they are dead, or have nostalgia for the world, will turn into floating spirits and wander around the world, and they can be easily summoned. A slightly chilly wind blew, and the surrounding weeds that were as tall as half a person moved densely with the wind. A white light flashed, and the spell turned into an eleven or twelve-year-old girl. I stopped and looked at her in astonishment. She is a little girl. It seems that my skills still need to be strengthened. But Zhao also called, so I’ll ask her for now.
“Little girl, are you from Qin?”
She nodded.
“So do you know where Xianyang is?” I continued to ask.
She nodded again, stretched out her hand to point out the weeds, and said in a low voice: “Go straight along this road and you will be Xianyang City.” After hearing her answer, I felt relieved, but luckily I was in Xianyang near the city.
“That shouldn’t be far away?”
“It’s not far, it only takes about two hours by carriage.”
“What!?” I jumped up again. It takes two hours to make a carriage, that is, four hours, so it won’t be dark before walking?
“Okay, okay, thank you, you go back.” I chanted the mantra again, and made a handprint with my index and middle fingers together. I pointed at her, and the girl disappeared immediately, and only a spell floated down.
I put away the talisman, stood up helplessly, looked up at the sky, it was still early, a gust of cold wind was blowing in my face, I couldn’t help shivering, the season seemed to be early autumn, I looked at my white Jacket, light green plaid shirt and jeans. It seems that there is one more important thing to do when you arrive in Xianyang City-buy a set of Qin clothes as soon as possible.
Passing through the weeds, I saw a road that was neither wide nor narrow. Looking back and forth, it seemed that there was no sign of anyone, so I had to walk along the road. If only someone had come with a carriage now, and maybe I could get a ride.
Just as he was thinking, the sound of horseshoes came from far behind him. Looking back, the road was dusty, and he could vaguely see a person galloping towards this direction on horseback. The road is endless, but the speed of this horse is so fast that it seems that it will not stop. No matter what, I have to try it anyway. I rushed to the middle of the road and shouted: “Stop, stop, stop!” !”
The horse really stopped, and just as I was secretly delighted, the whip also fell down. Although it was coming very fast, I still grasped the whip reflexively, who is it! I was also annoyed, when I raised my head and was about to kill him with my eyes, I met a pair of dark and narrow eyes. To my surprise, he was very young, about twenty years old, tall and straight, with a handsome appearance and well-defined outlines. He was dressed in a simple black Qin-style deep coat with silver trim, but he looked extremely dignified and imposing. extraordinary. What surprised me was not his appearance, but that I had never seen such a pair of deep and cold eyes, which made people feel a little chilled. I seem to have made a mistake, maybe I shouldn’t provoke such a person.
“How courageous.” He frowned slightly.
“Obviously you whipped me indiscriminately, do you have symptoms of mania!” I blurted out.
He didn’t seem to expect that I would dare to speak back, and after a little stunned, there was a hint of anger in his eyes, and he said: “You stopped my horse first, this alone can kill you, and… He looked me up and down condescendingly, and said, “Where did you come from? What kind of messy clothes are you wearing? And your hair is disheveled. How can you look decent?” There was a hint of surprise in his eyes.
“I come from a far away place… Hey! I tell you that you don’t know! This dress is the most popular this year, and you don’t understand it! Forget it, if you can take me to Xianyang City , I promise you will not be held accountable for what you did just now!” I also glanced at him a little impatiently, if Si Yin hadn’t said not to use spells indiscriminately in front of others, I would have pasted a talisman on his forehead and snatched him away. His horse gallops—what more nonsense to talk to him.
He sneered twice, “Not to be held accountable? What a big tone! A little girl, why is she alone in the wilderness? I think you have a lot of doubts, maybe you are a spy from another country!”
“That’s not true!” I quickly denied it, and had no choice but to pretend to be pitiful, “As a man, when you see a poor woman in distress, shouldn’t you help me? Don’t you have the heart to watch a helpless woman hiking?” Go to Xianyang, and there may be wild beasts and bandits haunting…” I kept telling him the tragic situation I could think of.
“That’s none of my business…” He said coldly, but the expression in his eyes softened slightly. What kind of person is this? It’s really unlucky. Why did I meet such a hard-hearted person as soon as I came to Qin.
“Forget it, I don’t want to beg you, just let my lovely girl be eaten by wolves and tigers and leopards.” I said angrily, gave him a hard look, and walked straight forward.
I had just walked a few steps when I heard the sound of horse hooves, before I recovered, I felt my body lighten and someone lifted me onto the horse. I turned around in astonishment, and happened to meet his eyes, and there was a hint of amused expression in his dark eyes.
“Hey… how do you…”
“I’ll just make an exception once, lovely girl.” He especially emphasized the word “cute”, with a faint sneer in his tone.
“I, I didn’t ask you.” I felt a little depressed. Although I am not beautiful, I still look pretty and cute. Why is the word “cute” so ridiculous when used on me? ? It’s so contemptuous.
It was the first time in my life that I was so close to a strange man, and it was an old man more than 2,000 years ago, which was a bit unbelievable. There were bursts of quiet sandalwood fragrance exuding from his body. Judging by his clothes and conversation, he was probably a son of a nobleman.
Amidst the lightning speed, after about an hour or so, the dark red city wall was seen from a distance.
“Ah, Xianyang City!” I couldn’t help shouting out, feeling excited, and soon I could see the face of Qin State in the Warring States Period. I don’t know if it looks like the one on TV?
