Add some practice: start with a lucid dream

Chapter 254 Delivery
After half an hour.

In a residential area with a good location, as soon as Chen Ze arrived downstairs, he saw Ouyang Shaoxu and his wife who came out to greet him.

"Ouyang, sister-in-law! Why are you so polite!"

"Where is it, I don't want you to be a guest for the first time."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, he followed the two of them into the unit door and took the elevator, and came to Ouyang Shaoxu's home as a guest.

Although the construction of this building is obviously a bit early, his house is considered to be well-organized, and there are many ingenious home decorations.

It's just that they seem to be the only couple living in the house, so Chen Ze didn't ask much about this question.

"You guys are talking, I'm going to wash some fruit." Mrs. Ouyang smiled and got up and walked to the kitchen.

She is an elegant middle-aged woman who seems to be in good condition, at least in good spirits.

"Hehe, I always wanted to pull me up the first time I saw you, and this time I finally got my wish." Chen Ze picked up a cup of tea and sipped it carefully.

Tea table and tea set are probably standard equipment for every household in Guangdong Province.

"Haha. We're all friends. It's always a good thing to get together more." Ouyang Shaoxu's face was a little haggard, but his spirit was not bad.

At this time Mrs. Ouyang had already walked into the kitchen, and the sound of splashing water began to sound.

"Everything is going well?" Chen Ze raised his eyelids slightly.

"Yes." Ouyang Shaoxu nodded vigorously, "No problem, I have everything ready."

"You take care of yourself, too."

"I see."

Chen Ze was silent, did not continue to speak, but poured himself a drink leisurely.

When Mrs. Ouyang came back with a fresh fruit platter, the three of them sat together and chatted wildly.

Although Chen Ze is not a person who is good at socializing and chatting, Ouyang Shaoxu is worthy of being a well-known teacher. He can always grasp the topic just right, giving people a feeling of spring breeze.

And Chen Ze also noticed that Mrs. Ouyang had only a half-knowledge about the cultivation seminar, but she didn't intend to delve into it, and just supported her silently behind her back.

Supporting each other and relying on each other, perhaps this is the original appearance of marriage.

No wonder Ouyang Shaoxu talked about his wife when he had nothing to do.

After drinking tea and eating snacks, it is almost time to get into the topic.

Without saying a word, Ouyang Shaoxu got up and went back to the room alone, only Chen Ze and his wife were chatting with each other.

inside the room.

The thick blackout curtains were pulled to the end, Ouyang Shaoxu came to the closet and stretched out his hands to grope continuously. I don't know what he felt, and he pulled it hard, and the whole closet was slightly lifted.

Squatting down and fiddling for a while, Ouyang Shaoxu took out a small safe from the hidden compartment at the bottom and put it aside.

Unlock, open the door.

The inside is full of small square wooden boxes like a doll, and the number is engraved on the outside.

Ouyang Shaoxu nodded, took out one of the small wooden boxes and put it on the bed beside him, and then slowly and methodically put everything back together.

The wooden box is square and square, light brown, the material does not look too expensive, but the polishing is still fine, the surface has a cover and a lock, but there is no matching key.

Soon, a pair of slightly rough hands took it out of the bedroom, and then it was handed over to another pair of big hands.

Chen Ze, who took the small wooden box, weighed it slightly. It is very light and has a clear sense of hollowness.

In the perception of the energy field, there is no sign of abnormal energy in the small wooden box.

what will it be
Before the hospital bed that day, apart from explaining the necessary follow-up arrangements, Liang Yi only told Chen Ze one sentence, and asked him to go to Ouyang Shaoxu to say this sentence.

"Haotian Jinque Supreme Sovereign Nature Mirai Supreme True High Heaven Sacred Great Merciful Jade Emperor Forgives Sins Xifu Great Heavenly Sovereign Xuanqiong High God"

Regarding this, Chen Ze looked through the classics and searched everywhere, but he still couldn't find the actual meaning of this sentence.

This is just the kind of awkward and lengthy name that appears in many Daozang, and it is mostly just a code name.

This is why the Daozang classics are obscure and difficult to understand, and the names of the characters who appear on the stage are always a small passage.

It's also difficult for Chen Ze to replay the film several times with Qingming Dream before he memorized this tongue twister.

It seems that this small wooden box should have been prepared by Liang Yi long ago, and was entrusted to Ouyang Shaoxu for safekeeping.

Perhaps everything that Chen Ze wondered could be answered in it.

After receiving the wooden box, Chen Ze chatted with Ouyang and his wife for a while, seeing that it was late, he declined their invitation for dinner and got up to leave.

Downstairs, Ouyang Shaoxu walked all the way to the parking space.

"Be careful on the road."

"it is good."

But when Chen Ze turned around, Ouyang Shaoxu still couldn't help asking,
"Look at the situation of our seminar."

"Let me think about it." Chen Ze stopped the hand that was already holding the handlebar.

"Sorry, I was in a hurry."

"fine."

Chen Ze shook his head and got into the car.

On the way back, they picked up Lu Ling and went to a restaurant for a meal. They didn't return home until the evening.

"Hey!"

The little white fox, who had a strange attitude a few days ago, finally regained the intimacy of the past, which Chen Ze was a little hard to understand.

Who knows, maybe the little mother fox is always in a bad mood for a few days every month.

First, he routinely went to give advice to Lu Ling to meditate for a while, then Chen Ze gently closed the bedroom door, returned to the sofa and pushed the little white fox aside.

"Hey!"

"call--"

Chen Ze let out a long breath, and turned down the TV volume by the way.

What is in this little wooden box?
Will it bring unknowable consequences like opening Pandora's box?
With doubts in mind, Chen Ze thought together, and rubbed his two fingers to turn the small lock on the wooden box into powder.

squeak--

The lid of the box was opened, revealing a stack of papers lying quietly inside.

It is full of words, slightly yellowed, and obviously has a lot of years, but it is extremely well preserved.

Rubbing the paper with two fingers, Chen Ze could feel that the papers were obviously not from the same batch, and there should even be quite a few years difference between them.

Sizes vary.

Some papers are obviously extraordinary in quality, flexible and thick, and still feel delicate; others are similar to straw paper, which is very brittle even without any signs of damage.

It was obviously picked from different sources and put together.

Take out this stack of papers, there is nothing else in the whole wooden box.

Is this gone?

Chen Ze touched the entire wooden box, then turned it upside down a few times, and finally took it to his eyes to observe carefully to make sure that there were no other hidden compartments in the wooden box.

It seems that this stack of papers is the message that Liang Yi wants to leave me.
Thinking of this, Chen Ze picked up the stack of papers and looked through them for a preliminary look. After a few glances, he found that they seemed to be diaries.

Moreover, the dates recorded in the headings are quite long ago, and the writing and diction of many characters in the text have a clear sense of history.

It's a bit like reading Mr. Lu Xun's article.

Chen Ze carefully fumbled through each diary, and finally folded them back in the original order and began to read them carefully.

In the year of Xinhai, the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. (February 1912, 2)
The Great Mosque is really dead!

This was told to me by the maid in Qingyuan Tower last night. I didn’t believe it at first, but it was only after I came out this morning that I realized that it was spreading all over the city.

Hahahahahaha!

happy!

But the people on the street were scolding the Tatars for harming the country every day, but now that the Tartars were really kicked out, everyone panicked.

They are all rushing to buy grain and rice. I heard that even the flour in the south of the city has been sold out.

Alas, the price of rice also started to rise, and the boss insisted that the harvest was not good.

I bother!

These bastard profiteers, I really want to grab his mother's vote.

His wife is quite juicy.

No, I'm not a robber, I can't do this kind of thing.

Forget it, I want to be a fairy, and I don't care about them.

The Tao is natural, right?

But after counting the time, the old lunatic dug out of the field was actually right!

He always said that when a country is about to perish, there must be evildoers, and he also said that he himself is evildoers.

In fact, I also wanted to have a master, but he really didn't look like a good person, so I didn't dare to recognize him.

He taught me the mantra of being a god, and I recited it to send him to the hospital. We owe nothing to anyone.

In the second year of the Republic of China, October 1913th ([-])
The times have changed.

It's said that it's easy to change clothes, but fortunately I never leave that mouse tail on my head, and I am always taller than others when I walk on the street.

I heard that the Gregorian calendar is used to record things now. Although I rely on my fists to make a living, I am also a cultural person who can write, so I also use the Gregorian calendar to write a diary.

I didn't know until now that it was all about changing the soup but not the medicine.

Then Yuan Shikai is no different from the old emperor before, I really want to feed him to death with hot pepper soup.

Sigh, I am also in my 20s this year, and I have practiced this formula for ten years, why can't I still see Yuan Qi?
I remember that old lunatic said that the current environment is not good, so I will find a better place.

I definitely can't go to the Northwest anymore, the girls there have too rough skin, I'm not used to it.

Hope to live forever in the future.

Seeing this, Chen Ze stopped and took a sip of water.

"Hey~" The little white fox intended to rush over to act like a spoiled child, but Chen Ze firmly rejected it.

He was worried about letting the little white fox get close to this precious and fragile diary.

Although it was not stated clearly in the diary, judging by his age, it fits Liang Yi quite well.

So I continued to read, and most of the following diaries described Liang Yi's difficult journey in pursuit of the so-called "Cave Heaven and Paradise" in the legend.

And following Liang Yi's perspective, a turbulent but ever-changing society of the Republic of China gradually appeared in front of Chen Ze.

The diary is full of clues about major historical events, and sometimes Liang Yi can even directly participate in them.

Such recognizable historical turning points as the New Culture Movement, the May Fourth Movement, the Northern Expedition, the National Revolution, etc., at that time seemed like ordinary trivial things that happened in ordinary life.

Under the general background of the times, he is like a little person who walks through it, sometimes being coerced and pushed away by the trend of history, and sometimes participating in it as a witness.

Such a vivid and soul-stirring story is far more interesting than reading a few lines in a history book.

In short, the overall impression of this period of history on Chen Ze is just one word, "miscellaneous".

The Liang Yi in the diary may have been hanging shoulders with foreigners in suits and chatting about God last month, and next year he will go to a group of remnants of the Qing Dynasty to pretend to talk about the whereabouts of immortal masters, and he has to be on guard against bandits at all times.

However, the power of words is probably still a little insufficient. It is easy to read a few thin pages, but Liang Yi has already traveled more than half of Huaguo, finding no trace of happiness in suffering.

As he got older, his diaries became more and more streamlined, with less active psychological processes and no commentary on current events, and even the time span between two diaries was much longer.

Even the handwriting is not as good-looking as it was when he was young, and it has become more and more scribbled, making Chen Ze stop from time to time to read it carefully.

Flipping through the pages of the diary, Chen Ze seemed to be able to feel Liang Yi's increasingly anxious state of mind at that time.

When I was young, I met Xianyuan by chance, and I was very energetic.

But when a person reaches middle age, he achieves nothing, and his ambition is hard to repay.

I wasted most of my life looking for immortals and visiting Taoism, but I didn't get any rewards.

But the turning point soon appeared on the next page in Chen Ze's hand.

　Brothers explain.

　　Many real place names and some nouns will be harmonized, so I have no choice but to replace them with other names as much as possible, or ignore them.

　　It may be a bit inconsistent with the real situation, but there is no other way, as long as everyone understands the meaning.

　　Please excuse me.
