In the future, Earth becomes a relic of the mythical era.

Chapter 193 The beginning of the collapse of heaven
"let me see……"

Cui Hong recalled for a moment: "It seems he got drunk while having a party with others."

"They started talking about a story from the Han Dynasty... about the eunuchs usurping power,"

When this reached Wang Shoucheng's ears, he sent someone to ask him: "Are you dissatisfied with me and using a story from the Han Dynasty to mock me?"

Xie Ling thought to himself, "The calamity of the Party Prohibitions?"

"Yep!"

Cui Hong nodded hurriedly and said, "He said that the rise and fall of the Han Dynasty was due to the partisan purge and the abuse of power by eunuchs, which was the real source of the disaster. Later, when he sobered up, he was so frightened that he told me to run away."

"I left the capital and originally intended to return to the Wang family's ancestral home in Yingchuan, but I didn't expect to run into you on the way,"

“You collapsed by the roadside, and I carried you here. This place seems to be a temporary shelter for people who go hunting in the mountains.”

"Then I awakened."

"Slap!" Xie Lingxin patted the dry grass off her body.

Cui Hong asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

"No, let me think..."

Xie Lingxin tried her best to recall.

Wang Jian was no ordinary person; he managed to leave a name for himself during the Tang Dynasty, a golden age for poets and literati.

He remembered that the man had died peacefully.

How could someone who offended Wang Shoucheng possibly have a good end?

Who is Wang Shoucheng?

Perhaps not many people in later generations will have heard of this name.

But although this man was a eunuch, what he did was earth-shattering.

Historically, he actually rose to power by killing the emperor!
The Tang Dynasty was a time of unrestrained boldness and daring to think and act; it was truly remarkable in every aspect.

He wasn't the only eunuch who killed the emperor or wanted to kill him.

But he was the first!
Emperor Xianzong of Tang, who was known in history as the "restoration ruler" of the Tang Dynasty, died at his hands!
Although in this world, the Great Zhou Dynasty, which was transformed by Wu Zetian after her rebirth and cultivation, could not possibly repeat itself.

But this person's nature probably won't change.

You think you can just run away after offending him?
Neither Wang Jian nor myself should even consider it!
Therefore, we must find a way to save our lives.

Now he has nothing.

They hadn't even recovered their cultivation level and were completely powerless to protect themselves.

The only thing he can use now is his identity as "Li Rui".

The Tang Dynasty had been established for many years, and its benevolence and power spread far and wide.

It's impossible for there not to be people who "long for the former Tang Dynasty"...

We must find someone like that, someone who can provide temporary shelter...

Wang Jian might be the breakthrough point.

I must save his life first and do him a favor.

Otherwise, if he solves it himself, then there's nothing for me to do.

He is remembered in history for his poetry; his poems...

A flood of information rushed through Xie Lingxin's mind.

Fortunately, his cultivation level has not yet recovered.

But I can still remember all my past memories.

"Old Cui, go back now!"

"what?"

“Go back and find your grandfather, and tell him…”

Xie Lingxin leaned closer and whispered something to him.

After listening, Cui Hong looked at Xie Lingxin, his expression shifting between surprise and doubt.

Fortunately, this wasn't the first time he had witnessed Xie Lingxin's extraordinary abilities.

Out of trust, he didn't ask any further questions.

"Okay, but I'm leaving now, what about here..."

"We can't worry about that now. If your grandfather dies, none of us will survive!"

He made thorough preparations before being "reincarnated".

Bring along the earthenware jar, the clean bottle, the brocade pouch filled with treasures, and the sword cases for the male and female swords.

All the property was exchanged for nectar brewed from cinnabar grass, plus the previous 20 drops of nectar and 9 jade dates.

There are also 5 spirit stones and 1 spirit bead.

This "reincarnation" is quite different from the previous process of the conscious mind entering the body.

It seems that he has truly been reincarnated into another person, and his consciousness is gone, so he can no longer sense anything in his sea of ​​consciousness.

But he could sense that these things were still there.

As long as one can re-cultivate their consciousness, they can get everything back.

Take out the pottery jar. With Wangcai there, although it has lost its divine status and its power has greatly diminished, at least its life is somewhat guaranteed.

Now all we can do is buy time.

I just hope that that damned eunuch Wang Shoucheng is too busy to care about me, this abandoned little pawn.

Find refuge before he realizes what's happening and turns against you!
"Then be careful yourself."

Cui Hong handed over a bundle: "There's some dry food and money in here. Take it first. It's not far from here. There's a Mengjin County. If all else fails, you can wait for me there."

"Row."

Xie Lingxin didn't stand on ceremony.

He was stripped of his princely title, and although he still held the title of county duke, he was actually penniless and driven out of the Eastern Capital.

If he hadn't met Cui Hong and awakened his powers, he probably wouldn't have survived until someone else came to deal with him and he would have starved to death by the roadside.

After Cui Hong left, Xie Lingxin began to try to cultivate her spiritual consciousness in this thatched hut.

He still chose his original, basic ideas.

When cultivating one's spiritual consciousness, it's best to avoid all those fancy and complicated things.

The basic concepts are the simplest, most stable, and most correct.

It felt like I had returned to the time when I first started practicing spiritual cultivation.

Settle your thoughts and calm your restless mind.

[Basic Concept: 0.01/1]

In just a moment, he sensed something different in his thoughts.

His innate supernatural powers and unimpeded mastery of all magic still remain!
That makes it simple!

【0.01, 0.01, 0.01...】

Progress is gradually increasing.

Slow, but steady.

Xie Lingxin had to stop until a wave of hunger washed over her.

[Basic Concept: 0.11/1]

Although it's slow, this is compared to when my cultivation level was still high. Compared to when I first started cultivating, it's already much faster.

Xie Lingxin estimated that if everything went smoothly, she should be able to re-cultivate her consciousness in a few days.

He took out the bundle given to him by Cui Hong and found a piece of dry food.

While stuffing food into his mouth, he carefully reviewed his situation.

When he was still Li Rui, he only had one maidservant named Su Zhen and one eunuch named Yan Jing.

They were supposed to be there to serve him, but in reality, they were there to monitor him.

In fact, he had never heard anyone say who the person who betrayed him was.

But he was 100% certain that it was Yan Jing who had betrayed him.

This damned eunuch often embezzled the imperial salary allocated to him by the court, and he treated him with sarcasm and rudeness, ordering him around all the time.

He relied on the power of the eunuch group and was certain that Li Rui would not dare to offend the eunuchs, much less inform on them.

I have to say, before awakening, I, "Li Rui," was truly a piece of trash!
Actually, it's not entirely "his" fault.

He had been wandering around since childhood. When he finally returned, he was granted the title of Prince Jing and enjoyed a few good days under Wu Zetian's care.

But not long after she went into seclusion, all the beautiful memories vanished.

Moreover, he was forbidden from learning literature and martial arts, and was bullied as a child.

It's obvious they're trying to ruin him.

How much success can someone like that achieve?
Even after he was demoted and banished from the capital, these two people still followed him.

However, Yan Jing left halfway through, using the excuse of going to scout ahead.

Xie Lingxin guessed who he had gone to inform.

I haven't seen anyone for several days.

As for the maid Suzhen, since both of them were penniless and starving, she went to find a way to eat.

Based on her previous "memory," Xie Lingxin was still willing to believe this maid.

Because she was an orphan girl that Li Jian rescued in Jiannan Road, and she and Li Rui had depended on each other since she was a child.

When Li Rui was summoned back to the capital, everyone knew he might not survive.

But she still didn't hesitate at all and followed him back to Beijing.

Over the years, no matter how difficult or painful things have been, I have never thought of leaving.

It can be said that Li Rui and Su Zhen were originally master and servant in name, but in reality, they were family.

She probably met with an accident, otherwise she wouldn't have abandoned "Li Rui".

Now, it's certain that Shendu can't return.

Moreover, this place is not far from where I parted ways with them before, so it's easy to find and I can't stay here for long.

There's a high chance that Yan Jing, that damned eunuch, will come looking for him again.

After all, the people behind him wouldn't allow him to slip out of their control.

Thinking about this, Xie Lingxin felt a little powerless.

What's all this?

Even though they were "reborn" into the most noble bloodline in the world, they didn't even get to enjoy a single good day before facing the most hellish catastrophe.

My life has been filled with hardship for three lifetimes!
Ugh……

After quickly eating only half a meal, Xie Lingxin hurriedly tidied up the place, slung her bag over her shoulder, and left.

……

I thought that Mengjin County wasn't far away, only a few dozen miles away, so I should arrive there quickly.

However, Xie Lingxin underestimated the transportation capabilities of this dynasty.

He had been exploring the mountains for two whole days and still hadn't left the area!

Although this was also related to his practice while traveling.

[Basic Concept: 0.67/1]

In less than three days, the visualization practice was already more than halfway complete.

In two more days at most, I should be able to re-establish my consciousness.

But the dry rations in the bundle had already been used up.

If we can't find a place, he'll die here!

Hmm? Is there a house there?
As we walked, a bright and open space suddenly appeared ahead.

Several houses are scattered.

However, it's a bit dilapidated and doesn't look like anyone lives there.

Xie Lingxin looked around to make sure no one was there before daring to approach the house.

There was no other way; his situation left him no room for carelessness.

There were no lights on inside, and no one answered when I called out several times.

It really does look like an abandoned house.

In this day and age, there are all sorts of natural and man-made disasters. Being forced to leave one's hometown is considered mild; it is not uncommon for families to be torn apart and people to die.

A peaceful and prosperous era?

That was just a tiny patch of land under the feet of a powerful person.

Wherever the eyes of a noble person are, there is a peaceful and prosperous world.

Beyond our sight... things remain the same as always.

It's better if no one's around, so his whereabouts won't be exposed.

After entering the abandoned house, they looked around.

It's clear that the previous owners here were quite well-off.

Although many of the decorations are dilapidated, you can still tell what they used to look like.

Xie Lingxin also found some old grain in a room!
Although it was infested with insects, it was also mixed with some dark, rat droppings-like stuff.

But there's still some edible stuff left.

He couldn't care less about anything else.

This is near Luoyang; there's nothing else, but there's plenty of water.

They found a river nearby, fetched some water, came back, started a fire, threw in the sifted grain, boiled it, and ate it!

I don't know if it was the aroma of the porridge that attracted people, but there was a knock on the door.

Xie Lingxin's heart tightened.

Is anyone there?

"My grandfather and I, grandfather and grandson, had been traveling for a long time and were starving when we smelled the aroma of rice and came here."

"It's getting late. May the host allow my grandson and me to stay here and have some food?"

"This old woman can pay some money!"

The voices sounded old; it was probably a grandfather and grandson.

Xie Lingxin felt half relieved...
