[Republic of China] The paradise of rebirth

I dragged Erye into Taoyuan, not wanting to waste time on irrelevant people. When we came to Taoyuan, Erye and I went to the small river to check first. There was still a faint black gas from the bottom of the river, making the river still a little turbid.

We walked upstream along the small river, and as usual every time, we came to a turn where we couldn't see the building, and we couldn't go any further.

It seems to be separated by an invisible wall. Although we can see the scenery ahead, we can't walk through it. Moreover, the invisible wall has a large area. We tried to go around it, but it didn't work.

I couldn't move forward and had to turn back, and the downstream direction was the same, so I couldn't find out the reason from the source of the river. However, walking along the river along the road, I found that there was a place where black gas came out of the river bottom at the same distance.

The two of us were puzzled, so we could only go back to the building and sit in the lobby on the first floor. I was making tea beside me, and the second master frowned and thought. After these four years, the furnishings in the building were almost replaced by me and the second Grandpa changed completely.

The current building is like the second home of me and the second master, the lobby has become much warmer, and the second master and I will come in to drink tea and play chess when we have nothing to do. Although I am a beginner and not good at chess, the second master still likes to pull me Play chess with him.

In addition, the second master also set up a bookcase in the hall, and moved down the books that he often read. The other side of the hall is where I mix fragrances. Usually, he and I are in the hall, doing our own things, and occasionally raising our heads. Look at each other and accompany each other.

Now my second master and I are sitting where we usually sit, discussing the changes in the small river, because the reason why the river was turbid last time was because of a demon in my heart, so this time, my second master and I saw the muddy river , are worried.

I broke the seal by mistake before. Apart from accelerating the growth of the fields in Taoyuan, there was an extra layer of the third floor that I don’t know what to do, and the bronze mirror can see the past. There is no major change in the rest.

At that time, the second master asked me to try it, but unfortunately the bronze mirror can't see the future, but fortunately we live it again, and we already know the general direction of the future, so we are not so obsessed with whether we can see the future.

At this moment, I suddenly remembered something, "Second Master, do you still remember the serious injury four years ago?"

"Well, I remember." The second master took a sip from the teacup and nodded slightly.

"At that time, your jade pendant emitted white light and healed your injury. Could it be that your jade pendant also has some mystery?" I somehow remembered the jade pendant of the second master.

"You have gone in so many times, you should know better than me, what's inside?" Second Master said lightly, I frowned, "I can't see, because every time I go in, it becomes that jade pendant."

The second master looked at me puzzled, and I explained to him that every time I enter his jade pendant, I see the outside world directly, and I don't know whether there is another world in the jade pendant.Rather than entering the jade pendant, it is more like the soul is attached to the jade pendant.

The second master thought for a while, and took me back to the small river. He took out the jade pendant, but before he could say anything, the jade pendant fell into the river. The second master and I were shocked, and when we were about to reach out to fish it , but saw the little red marks on the top of the jade pendant, which actually seeped into the water.

After a while, the jade pendant seemed to have been washed, and all the blood on it disappeared. The second master and I looked at the blood that had seeped into the water, and found that the red seemed to be absorbing the black, slowly gathering the turbidity from the bottom of the river around the red.

The blood streaks absorbed the turbidity, but did not dissipate in the water. Instead, it became more and more red, gradually like a section of red line floating on the water surface. The red line became thicker and thicker, and the turbidity in the water became less and less.

When the red thread was as thick as hemp rope, the river water was almost clear again. The second master and I looked at all this in amazement. Could it be that the red thread is purifying the river water?Suddenly, there was a strange "boo", and the second master and I followed the sound.

I saw that the red rope suddenly grew a foot, and then there was another "boo", and another foot grew. The second master pulled me back a few steps. The red rope in the river was obviously not right, and I was afraid it was some kind of monster.

Following a few "boo" sounds, the red rope grew four legs, a tail, and finally, with the loudest sound, a head grew out of the red rope.

The second master and I took a few steps back in horror, the second master held my hand tightly, and when we were about to hurry out of Taoyuan, the red rope said, "Did you break the seal?"

The second master and I were taken aback, the crisp childish voice, if we didn't know that it was Hongsheng who spoke, and just listened to the voice, we would have looked like an immature child. Seeing that we didn't respond, Hongsheng urged impatiently, "Hey, I asked you something, why didn't you answer?"

"Excuse me, who are you?" The second master pulled me behind me, and turned to face the talking red rope.

"I am the patron saint of this fairyland, are you the ones who broke the seal?" Hong Sheng said, and Erye and I secretly exchanged glances, is this a fairyland?

"We didn't do anything, but the jade pendant accidentally fell into the river." Second Master said lightly, we did nothing, just watched the red rope change.

"Did you break the first seal?" Hong Sheng asked in a different way, Second Master and I looked at each other, nodded in acknowledgment, Hong Sheng continued, "That's right, after the first seal is untied, My seal is loose."

"Although I waited for four years, luckily I finally broke the seal." After Hong Sheng said that, his tone was full of rejoicing.

"If you are the patron saint of this place, how could you be sealed?" I asked puzzledly, and the red rope was a little dejected when he heard my question, "I made a mistake before, and I was punished by the emperor to guard this place."

"For some reason 13 years ago, Xianjun suddenly sealed me and asked me to wait for someone with a destiny." The red rope was already crying, and the second master and I looked at each other, thinking at the same time that the fairy in Hongsheng's mouth must be that old man.

"Xianjun said that when someone breaks the seal, I must fulfill that person's three wishes before I can leave here." Hong Sheng said a little aggrieved.

"Can any wish be allowed?" Second Master asked after pondering for a while.

"As long as it doesn't hurt others, any wish is fine." Hongsheng nodded, and the second master seemed a little excited. When he was about to speak, Hongsheng added, "I can't let me change the future of too many people. God."

"How to say?" Er Ye asked, Hong Sheng thought for a while, and replied, "For example, I can't let me replace a dynasty, which will change the fate of most people. Such a wish, I am Unable to achieve."

"It's best to have a wish related to your own. Otherwise, my divine power is limited, and the effect will be greatly reduced." Hong Sheng said with some embarrassment, and the second master and I looked at each other, it seems that the other party does not seem to be omnipotent.

"Is there a time limit? Can you let us think about it, what wish do you want?" I asked, and the red rope nodded, "Okay, think about it slowly. When you need it, call at the river, and I will give you a wish." Appeared."

"I don't know what to call your Excellency?" The corners of my mouth twitched, should we call 'red rope'?

"Qianqiu, my name is Qianqiu." The red rope swam in the water, wagging its head and tail, then dived into the bottom of the water and disappeared without a trace.

After Qianqiu disappeared, my second master and I went up to the small river and found that the river was crystal clear again. Second master’s jade pendant was lying on the bottom of the river. I reached out to pick up the jade pendant. Now second master’s jade pendant is exactly the same as mine up.

"Second Master, have you made up your wish?" I handed the jade pendant to Second Master, who shook his head, "Not yet, how about you? Do you have any wish to fulfill?"

"I only hope that everyone will be safe and successful in this life, and everything will be fine." I also shook my head. If there is any wish, it was decided when I woke up, not to repeat the same mistakes, and to keep the owner and Xiao Dongzi safe.

I owe a lot to the owner of the garden. This life still makes him suffer, but I can't help. Fortunately, the fifth master takes care of everything for the owner. I can only send some herbs grown in Taoyuan to the owner. He uses it to recuperate his body.

Second Master and I discussed for a while, the anomaly in the river this time should be related to Qianqiu's seal, maybe we touched the conditions unintentionally and the seal was lifted.

Regarding the benefits of getting three wishes for nothing, the second master is extremely cautious. He thinks that these wishes should not be wasted, but Qianqiu said that he can't change the future of too many people. Does it imply that we can't use wishes to stop the massacre decades later?

"It doesn't matter, if you use it well, you can still stop the disaster." The second master played with the jade pendant and began to think about the wish he wanted to make to Qianqiu. I sat beside me, frowning and thinking.

If it is related to himself, maybe he can make a wish for prosperity. In addition to Erye's own power, if the foundation can be stabilized, then even if the power is transferred in three years, Erye can become a world of his own in Shanghai.

In the past few years, the second master has controlled most of the new army. Although Master Yuan cannot completely let go, the secret power of the second master should not be underestimated, but the distance is a problem. Now we are far away in Shanghai, relying on copper Only through the mirror can we grasp the news of Beijing and Tianjin.

"The wish is not urgent, but I forgot to ask just now, is your drowsiness related to breaking the seal?" The second master pondered, as if he regretted forgetting to ask Qianqiu why I fell asleep for two days.

At this moment, I heard a knock on the door of the wing room outside, and hurriedly took my second master out of Taoyuan. In the past four years, I have gradually learned how to use Taoyuan.

Although I don't know when Taoyuan will start, it is consistent with the passage of time outside, but I have learned that outside voices can still be heard in Taoyuan. come to your door.

After Second Master and I left Taoyuan, it was Yuan Qi who knocked on the door. After Second Master opened the door, Yuan Qi reported a few words in a low voice. Second Master's face became a little ugly, and then he waved Yuan Qi to leave.

"What's the matter, you look so ugly?" I was worried whether there was something wrong with the bank of the second master and the fifth master, otherwise how could the second master have such a serious expression.

"Zai Tao also left Beijing and came to Shanghai. Yuan Qi discovered that Liang Zhongbo was among his cronies." The second master gritted his teeth in resentment, but I was extremely surprised that Liang Zhongbo and Zai Tao were walking together, which was really unexpected.

Four years ago, after Zaitao found out about the matter between me and Second Master, he stopped inviting Second Master to go out, and seemed to disappear, disappearing from Second Master's life.

And after Liang Zhongbo escaped from the young master's control, the second master also sent people to search in private, but they couldn't find anyone. I didn't expect that after four years, the two would get together.

"Then Liang Zhongbo can avoid my eyes and ears. Could it be that he is hiding in the underground club of the Revolutionary Party?" The second master was a little puzzled, how could he not know how much Liang Zhongbo weighed, but he did not expect that Liang Zhongbo's hiding would actually Hid for four years without being found.

"How did Zai Tao leave Beijing at this time?" I also wondered, Zai Tao's nephew inherited the throne. Under such circumstances, how could Zai Tao give up everything and come to Shanghai?

"Do you know that it is actually a good thing that the Yuan Mansion does not enter Beijing?" The second master suddenly mentioned the Yuan Mansion. The suspicion of rising and falling.

Although the Yuan Mansion did not enter the capital in this life, they firmly controlled the new army. Now that Zai Feng was the regent, he might be even more afraid of the Yuan Mansion. Could it be that Zai Tao left the capital at his behest?But why not to Tianjin, but to Shanghai?

"When I went home a few years ago, I hinted at my father. He also knows that trees attract wind, so he has acted very low-key in the past few years. However, the Beiyang Army is always a thorn in the side. It is impossible for Zaifeng to let the Yuan family control the new army."

"In addition, I came to Shanghai again. They were afraid that they misunderstood what my father and I were planning, so they sent Zai Tao, who used to know me, to find out the truth." The second master guessed, I thought about it, and went up The court of the first generation took precautions against the new army, and saw the strength of the new army during the autumn exercise in Zhangde.

In this life, the second master advanced the time for autumn exercise and allowed the new army to retain its strength. Therefore, the performance of the new army this time was not as brilliant as in the previous life. Did this still arouse the fear of the court?

"This time when I go home, I suggest that my father complain of illness and go back to his hometown. I thought that this life doesn't have to go through this life, but I didn't think I should avoid it." The second master sighed. The military power of the Beiyang New Army was handed over.

The Beiyang New Army was divided into six towns. The military power of the first, third, fifth, and sixth towns was transferred to the direct jurisdiction of the minister of the Ministry of War, and the remaining second and fourth towns were still under the jurisdiction of the governor of Zhili.

Fortunately, Tie Liang had been removed, and according to his plan, Liangbi was indeed the minister of the army in this life. Even if his father handed over the four towns of the Beiyang Army to the imperial court, it was still under his control.

I shook the second master's hand, "Zai Tao will definitely contact you when he comes to Shanghai, so be careful." I told the second master about Zai Tao's visit to the shop four years ago.

"So, he knows your face?" The second master seemed extremely worried, I nodded, Zai Tao knew that I was Du Qingyi that day.

"Be careful when you go in and out these days. After I leave Shanghai, the shop will be closed. Anyway, it's almost Chinese New Year, so I won't attract attention." The second master said, I nodded, not wanting to worry the second master, and then we have to separate For more than two months, I didn't want him to worry about my safety all the time.

In the next few days, I was much more careful when I went in and out. Even when I entered the shop, I stayed behind and did not show up in front. I left all the work of greeting the guests to the shop assistants, and only concentrated on counting the goods and sorting the bottles and jars.

"Boss, someone in front wants to see you." Today, I was wiping the perfume jar behind me, and the shop assistant walked over quickly and reported in a low voice.

"What's the matter? Who wants to see me?" Could it be that the waiter did not entertain the guests well and offended the guests?

"As soon as a young man came to the door, he directly said that he wanted to see the boss. We said you were not here, but he didn't give up. He just stayed in the shop and didn't leave. His subordinates even drove away the customers. The shopkeeper asked me to come and ask you what to do?"

After hearing this, I frowned. Who is this person? It sounded like he was here to find fault. Unexpectedly, my heart skipped a beat when the guy next said—"Boss, that young master said his surname is Liang."
