Chapter 1 When I wake up, the whole world has changed

In early summer, early morning, the golden sun shines on the bluestone slabs, and the quiet streets begin to welcome the traders coming and going.

There are many shops on both sides of the street, carved railings, painted buildings, flying eaves, whether it is the shop signs and flags, the rippling cars and horses, the endless stream of pedestrians, and the willows fluttering in the wind, all seem to have a dreamy look under the sunshine.

A city is prosperous and half a city of smoke, and many people in the world are drunk with immortals.

Although the quiet ancient city has just survived the war, its prosperity is still the same as before.

Now it is the eighth year of Wude in the Tang Dynasty. The brutal Emperor Yang of Sui has been overthrown. The new emperor Li Yuan has become martial and virtuous and politically honest. Although Huayuan County is not as good as Luoyang and Chang'an, it is also under the jurisdiction of Jingzhao Prefecture and has its own prosperity.

With a bit of hazy and poeticity, this ancient city gradually awakened, with its graceful, elegant, fresh, or sophisticated faces filling the streets, as if to form a colorful and rich picture.

But there is one difference.

A circle of people gathered around the weeping willows in front of a clinic on the corner of the street. They were men or women, old or young, dressed in luxury or were poor in clothing. But without exception, they all looked rosy and relaxed, and they were obviously not here to see a doctor.

When we got closer, we found a young Taoist lying on the feet of a weeping willow in the crowd.

It is not entirely true that Taoist people are young.

But although he was only twenty-four or five years old, his white hair looked like an old man. He was luxurious and had a light blue robe. His collar and cuffs were embroidered with piping with flowing cloud patterns. He was tied with a blue auspicious cloud-edged brocade belt around his waist, and a small silver crown inlaid with gold and jade, which made the Taoist gentle and elegant. He was wrapped in a white cloth on his left, and he didn't know what valuable items were contained inside, a whisk on his right, and a sword behind him. Overall, he looked like he was a born young man or a worldly banished immortal.

Unfortunately, the Taoist looked ordinary and tight, and his eyes were closed, not like he was sleeping soundly, but like he had encountered something unexpected and fainted.

Although there were many speculations in the crowd, no one caught up.

This Taoist dressed so extraordinary that if he accidentally hates him, even though the county magistrate loves the people as much as his son, he will never be able to resist the people outside the world and protect them.

After all, this Taoist priest is obviously a person who has the ability to maintain his beauty. Although Taoist priests are inaction and immortals are compassionate, isn’t there any other Taoist priest in the world who is called demonic Taoism?

Time passed slowly, and the onlookers walked one after another. Finally, a thug looked at the Taoist package, unable to contain his greed, and slowly moved forward.

The onlookers scolded him for a while, but if he could scold him just by scolding him, then the rambun cannot be called a rambun.

Seeing that the ruffian had arrived in front of the Taoist, some people onlookers could not help but stand up and wanted to be the heroic and righteous ranger.

Suddenly!

Taoist's eyelashes trembled and he opened his eyes suddenly.

The rogue was startled and rolled back and crawled back to the crowd, which made everyone laugh. The rogue was angry and cursed, but it was hindering the crowd and did not dare to cause trouble. He just retreated in shame.

Zhang Xuanqing woke up from a coma and saw this scene at first sight.

What's going on?

Is this... joining the crew?

As soon as this thought arose, he immediately denied it again.

Although it is full of ancient style, whether it is the streets, buildings, clothing, or crowds, there is no camera equipment!

There are no staff either!

And it would be fine if there was no director or the staff of the venue, but they just said that the "actors" around him were all not sure which dialect they spoke. In short, he couldn't understand a single word.

If it weren't for the three authentic Chinese characters "Jishitang" hanging on the clinic, he would have thought he had traveled through another world.

Wait...time travel?

Zhang Xuanqing's face suddenly turned pale. It was impossible to travel through another world. What about traveling through ancient times? Looking back on the memories before he fell into a coma last night, his body couldn't help but tremble faintly.

Yesterday he set up a stall to tell fortunes for people, and made a small profit. On the way home, he was "chased" by a barbecue stall owner who he had cheated. Later, he ran to an intersection and kicked the street lamp pole like venting, and then... an old Taoist priest fell from the sky!

"No! An ancient mirror fell from the street lamp pole, and an old Taoist priest was sealed in the ancient mirror..."

"Not right! Yes..."

"Forget it, in short, the old Taoist priest said that he was the 'fire dragon true man' of the 'hidden immortal sect'. He was harmed by a traitor, and his soul was sealed in the master's secret treasure "The Immortal Mirror". He helped him escape from the trouble and had to satisfy his three wishes."

Zhang Xuanqing thought of this and pulled the corner of his mouth, not knowing whether he was crying or laughing: at that time he thought he had met his fellow travelers, and the other party was also a liar in the world. After all, the three wishes were too low. In the end, he refused and said two wishes casually: immortality, immortality, immortality, it would be fine if the old Taoist priest could not satisfy it, but he insisted that he change it. He was so entangled that he was so entangled that my biggest wish was to die, die far away.

Then...the old Taoist priest died.

It was then that he discovered that the old Taoist priest had his feet floating when he spoke to him before, and there was an ancient treasure mirror beneath his feet.

When he expressed his third wish, a strong light burst out from the treasure mirror under the old Taoist priest's feet, pulling the old Taoist priest into pieces.

Immediately afterwards, the strong light did not return, but shone on him again.

He didn't know what happened next, only he knew that when the strong light rose, he turned around and wanted to run away, but later the strong light shone on him, and his body suddenly couldn't move.

Then...and then something seemed to be hit hard on the back of his head, and then he fainted. When he woke up again, it was like this in front of him.

"So my third wish has come true?" Zhang Xuanqing was powerless to complain. He didn't care whether the old Taoist priest died or lived. He wanted to know what was going on now!

If you want to make a wish, he has no desire to travel through time?

"Are you talking about it... Actually, the old Taoist priest insisted on satisfying my three wishes, not voluntarily, but escaping the "seal" link? After all, if he dies, he will die. How could there be such an obedient person in the world? Instead... by the way, Traveling to the Fairy Mirror!"

Zhang Xuanqing suddenly felt a sudden thrill, looked down and saw the empty ground. In the distance were pairs of feet of different sizes and... dense thighs.

Those who surrounded him have not left yet!

When he looked up, he saw everyone pointing at him and whispering something to each other, but he couldn't understand a single word.

Wherever his eyes were, the discussion suddenly subsided. Look at this one, look at that one, look at this one, push me and I push you, and no one stepped forward, as if he was very concerned about him.

What about that so-called Travels to the Immortal Mirror?

Had someone picked it up?

Zhang Xuanqing ignored the people surrounding him. He couldn't understand what they said, and he was worried that others wouldn't understand what he said. Now it's important to find the "culprit".

But he searched everywhere and searched his body, and he did not find the "Visit Mirror" mentioned by the old Taoist priest.

Fortunately, he didn't throw away his clothes, nor did he throw away his package. These two were the guys he had for dinner: the package contained fortune-telling books such as "The Book of Changes", "The God of Maiyi", "The Plum Blossom Yishu", and the clothes were stolen from a fairy tale crew. Together, he was a "master" who could guide people with love.

It seems that the mirror would not have been picked up by someone. After all, there is a book in his package, but others don’t know. Instead of taking the package, he takes a broken mirror. He should not be such a stupid thief.

He was searching for something without anyone else, but the crowd was separated from outside and walked in an old housekeeper, four servants, and a carriage was followed behind him.

The carriage is rich and rich, made of mahogany, and the curtains are all expensive and exquisite silk. Even the clothes of the groom who drives the carriage are better than those of ordinary people, which shows the nobleness of the owner.

The old housekeeper took four servants to Zhang Xuanqing, bowed deeply to him, gave an ancient etiquette, and said: "!@#¥%&*..."

Zhang Xuanqing: "..." He replied with a confused face.

The old butler said: "!@#¥%&*..."

Zhang Xuanqing: "..." Still confused.

Perhaps it was a misunderstanding, the old butler begged and bowed deeply to Zhang Xuanqing again.

Zhang Xuanqing said that no matter how polite he was, it would not work. If he couldn't understand, he wouldn't understand.

However, his fortune telling skills are not in vain. At least he can see his words and expressions. Although he doesn't understand what the old butler is saying, he can guess that he has something to ask for based on his butler's expression.

In an instant, Zhang Xuanqing stood up, straightened his waist, and did not forget to lift the bag on the ground in his hand. His other hand habitually waved the whisk, making a masterful expression, and said: "!@#¥%&*..."

Well, he forgot, and the other party couldn't understand what he said.

Seeing the old butler's face full of confusion, Zhang Xuanqing pointed at his mouth, waved his hand, and then pointed at his ear, and waved his hand again. The old butler immediately understood: It turned out that he had met a deaf and mute person.

Fortunately, Zhang Xuanqing didn't know what he was thinking, otherwise he would have to suck him with a big mouth.

The old housekeeper hesitated again at this time, frowned and pondered for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth, bent down and reached out, and led his hand towards the carriage, meaning: Ask the Taoist priest to get on the carriage.

Of course, this sentence was made up by Zhang Xuanqing himself, but I think the meaning is almost the same.

Looking at the carriage not far away and looking at the old housekeeper, Zhang Xuanqing also muttered in his heart: When he saw that the person who "invites" himself would be either rich or noble, it would be fine if he had nothing to do, but if he didn't have good intentions, or if he had something to do, he wouldn't be able to solve it himself...

He looked up at the sky. It was almost noon and touched his empty stomach again. Zhang Xuanqing gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it! It's done!"

Food is the most important thing for people. From last night to now, he has not dripped water and has not dripped rice. Regardless of whether the other party is a dragon pond or a tiger's den, he will have to make a breakthrough. Otherwise, if he missed this village, he is not familiar with the place, but he has no place to make a living.
