Chapter 926 Awakening from Dream
Si Yizhen practiced the "Tao Te Ching" every day, but the more he practiced, the more he felt that morality was supreme and endless.

The college life was only four years, and four years passed in the blink of an eye. After graduation, the twenty-year-old Si Yizhen left the college and returned home.

But his good luck seemed to end there. His beloved mother suddenly fell seriously ill and could not afford to return to bed. His father was extremely anxious and spent a lot of gold and silver, and even sought help from those so-called witches and sorcerers, but it was all in vain.

Even though he practiced the "Tao Te Ching", he still had few methods and was helpless. He could only watch his loving mother become thinner and thinner, with less time for clarity and more time for confusion. Until the end, she took his hand and said that she had not seen him get married or have grandchildren.

That very night, Si Xiong was guarding his wife's bedside when a mouthful of phlegm got stuck in his throat and he died.

This was the darkest day in Si Yizhen's life. His beautiful life in the past was shattered in an instant. Both his parents died, and the old servant in his house betrayed him and stole all the family wealth. He fell from the clouds to hell.

However, the Tao Te Ching he practiced restrained him, preventing him from using his extraordinary power to seek revenge, and he even completely degenerated into a beggar.

He also felt very painful. He asked himself why the higher the morality, the stronger the power. If it was constrained, what was the use of this power?

He often wanted to take revenge and kill the bastard who took away his property, but he was restrained by morality, which made him more painful, until one day, he helped an orphan and did a good deed.

From then on, he discovered that the so-called morality was not in the scriptures, but around him, in his words, deeds, and every move. Doing good deeds would make him feel happy from the bottom of his heart.

Soon his cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds, and he even obtained a magic weapon, the Codex of Morality.

This magic weapon can accumulate the good deeds he does in his daily life and turn them into morality, and by consuming the morality he can do all kinds of impossible things.

From then on, Si Yizhen did good deeds and accumulated virtue, never missing any opportunity around him and constantly accumulating virtue and doing good deeds.

Soon, his fame spread throughout Zhengxin City. Although he was alone, he was a well-known good man.

At the same time, the lives of his classmates have also changed. Although the changes are different, there is no doubt that these are huge twists and turns in their lives.

There are very few people who can keep their original heart. Most of them give up practicing the Tao Te Ching and rely on powerful forces to do whatever they want. Some people indulge in beauty and wealth and neglect their practice.

By chance, Si Yizhen rescued a woman who was forced to marry someone, and she escaped with his help.

However, the person he forced to marry was the son of the city lord and also his classmate and friend. In Zhengxin City, it is no exaggeration to say that the power of their Li family is overwhelming.

If Si Yizhen wanted to go against him, it would be like hitting a rock with an egg, but the woman named Wan'er later became the love of his life.

He used his wits to make a vow with the city lord to postpone the engagement for three years. He wanted to rely on the power of the code of morality to change Wan'er's fate. Although she was unwilling to marry Mr. Li, the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words, in the eyes of outsiders, were the fault of Si Yizhen.

In the days that followed, Si Yizhen worked even harder to do good deeds and cultivate diligently. Although he suffered oppression from the City Lord's Mansion, which made his life increasingly difficult, the people he helped gave him feedback, both overtly and covertly, and Wan'er's support and encouragement helped him persevere. Every day when he woke up from his bed and saw the beautiful woman bringing him breakfast, his heart was filled with infinite strength.

The good times did not last long. One day, Si Yizhen was framed by the orphan he had first rescued. The orphan said that he and Wan'er had lived together and had committed an affair before the engagement was annulled.

Since you have a close relationship with this orphan and you are his benefactor, everyone believes his words. You have no way to defend yourself and instantly become a righteous rat crossing the street, and everyone wants to kill you.

These are nothing, but Wan'er hanged herself because of this incident, which made Si Yizhen heartbroken. Those who had received your help all changed their faces, and only spitted and despised you, making things difficult for you everywhere, causing Si Yizhen's life, which had finally improved, to fall to the bottom again.

Si Yizhen suffered the biggest blow in his life. He was in a daze and drank all day long, living a life of drunkenness and dreams. However, by chance he discovered that the orphan was actually bribed by the Li family and had betrayed him.

Si Yizhen picked himself up and wanted to make the Li family receive the retribution they deserved, but no one was willing to believe what he said, and Si Yizhen's life was getting worse and worse. Others even suspected that he was only doing good deeds in order to practice the "Tao Te Ching" and all refused his help.

In desperation, Si Yizhen had no choice but to leave, but just as he was about to leave, standing at the border of Zhengxin City, he suddenly felt a little confused.

"I don't think I've ever had any information about what's happening outside the city. Where can I go outside the city? What's the world like outside the city walls?"

As these questions emerged in his mind, he looked at the city gate, feeling more and more frightened and confused. At this moment, a person he had never thought of appeared in front of him.

This person is none other than the young master of the Li family, Li Ming!
"What are you doing here? Do you want to see how miserable I am now?" Si Yizhen said coldly.

Unexpectedly, the young master of the Li family just shook his head and then said.

"Brother, you make me feel very chilled when you say that."

"Senior brother?" Si Yizhen was startled, he felt that this title was somewhat familiar, but when they were in the academy, everyone clearly just called each other classmates, there was no such title. Besides, he was the last student to enroll, so even if he was called, Li Ming should call him junior brother!
Seeing Si Yizhen like this, Li Ming sighed and then asked, "Didn't you notice?"

"What did you find?" Si Yizhen asked.

"Our world is so small that it's a little scary. Do you know any news about the world outside the city?" Li Ming said lightly.

"Hmph, of course." Si Yizhen opened his mouth to speak, but swallowed the words back when they reached his lips, because no matter how he recalled, those things about the outside of the city that he seemed to have heard often now became very vague, as if they did not exist at all.

"Can't you tell?" Li Ming laughed and then said.

"That's because, in this world, there is only this one Zhengxin City. This world is just a dream, and you and I are both dreamers!"

As Si Yizhen said this, his head buzzed, and everything around him collapsed in an instant, plunging into nothingness!
