Summary:

My mother said that her greatest wish in life is that I live a peaceful and happy life, live a long life, and meet the love of my life.

Later, this wish was no longer counted.

Because we traveled through time, on the road to becoming an immortal, we cannot avoid fighting with others everywhere, and living a hundred years has become a vicious curse.

In addition, "I have already met my own Mona Lisa~"

Chapter 1: Across the Millennium

The Great Xia Dynasty in the Central Plains, August of the Autumn of the 8th year of Yuanfeng.

In the southern part of Huazhou, about four or five miles north of the big lake, there is a small village called Longgou Village. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers and has beautiful scenery. More than 40 families live here, leading a simple life of working from sunrise to sunset every day.

Now is the busy farming season, but God seems to have encountered some unpleasant things recently. He has a gloomy face all day long, and it has been rainy and awful for several days in a row.

That afternoon, on the hillside, a young boy with a young face looked up and saw that the sky was covered with dark clouds, indicating that a rainstorm was coming.

Seeing this, his fellow villagers ran home to shelter from the rain, calling out to him loudly.

"Brother Ye Hong, why are you still standing there like an idiot? It's going to rain again, why don't you go home quickly?"

"Your clothes are wet, be careful your mother will see and beat you up!"

Ye Hong turned a deaf ear to him. He was more concerned about something else than getting wet in the rain.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but I seemed to see something flying back and forth above the clouds. Although I tried to squint my eyes to observe it, I still couldn't see it clearly.

The wind was blowing violently, and from time to time a flash of golden lightning would break through the dark clouds in the sky, disappearing in a flash, followed by a loud thunder, the rumbling sound like the wrath of heaven.

A strange thought suddenly flashed through Ye Hong's mind. It was already autumn, and there should be few thunderstorms in autumn. Could it be... that some master was here to transcend the tribulation?

After a while, the rainstorm came as expected, and he had to give up looking for the so-called senior masters. He covered his head and ran wildly towards his home.

At the same time, deep in the sky beyond the reach of human vision, a contest between living creatures and nature is taking place.

A roaring little green dragon is fighting against thunder in the dark clouds. Only after going through this ordeal can it transform into a dragon.

But how easy is it to overcome the tribulation?

Soon it was struck to pieces by thunder, but it still refused to give up. It did not stop until its body was completely destroyed and only a remnant soul remained. It was about to die, which was extremely miserable.

The instinct for survival made the dragon soul burst out with power instantly, and it rushed downwards like an arrow. When it saw the young man running in the wind and rain, it seemed to see a glimmer of hope, and immediately drilled into his body from behind.

In an instant, Ye Hong felt a chill all over his body, as if a basin of ice water was poured over his head. He felt so cold all over that he couldn't help but sneeze loudly.

The dark clouds in the sky lost their target and soon dissipated on their own, leaving only a few thunders echoing in the sky.

As Ye Hong was running, he was suddenly surprised to find that the rain had stopped suddenly!

Looking back suddenly, I found that the dark clouds gathered above my head had long dispersed, and the sky was clear after the rain.

The long-lost sunshine finally reappeared in the sky, shining brightly and dazzlingly.

……

Although the heavy rain had stopped, Ye Hong was almost completely soaked. Not only were strands of hair stuck to his forehead, but his clothes were also wet and stuck to his body, making him very uncomfortable. He was even more eager to go home and he wished he could go home and change into dry clothes.

Soon, a house surrounded by rammed earth walls appeared in front of us.

As soon as Ye Hong appeared, Ye Wanqing, who was standing under the eaves and looking forward to seeing him, hurried over to greet him. Although she was wearing a straw hat and a cloth skirt, her beauty could not be concealed.

She narrowed her eyes and looked her own Ye Hong up and down. Seeing that he was safe, she breathed a sigh of relief, but sneered, "Oh, the young master knows to come back, what's going on?"

Seeing that he didn't respond, she added, "I told you to bring an umbrella when you go out!"

Ye Hong sighed in his heart. Even if he lived his life again and still had such a beautiful woman caring about him, he should feel happy, but he couldn't be happy at all.

What these two of them have experienced in the past cannot be described by the word "bizarre".

Ye Hong still remembers vividly how they came to the Great Xia Dynasty and what they experienced afterwards.

It all started on that bleak autumn night two years ago.

At that time, the two of them were having dinner in a restaurant, and he and Ye Wanqing started arguing over a trivial matter.

The two looked at each other angrily, and neither of them was willing to give in first, so they walked home, one in front and one behind, keeping a distance between them.

On the way, we entered a street tunnel. What was different from the past was that this time the lights inside seemed to be broken, so it was extremely dark and quiet.

What is even more strange is that the distance that was originally only a few hundred meters seemed to take a very long time to walk as if trapped in a ghost wall.

At that time, Ye Hong had a very bad premonition in his heart, and it really came true later.

Suddenly, a bright light appeared in front of him. He was walking in front and took the lead, but he never thought that the end of the road was no longer the familiar prosperous city, but the gate to another unknown world.

The moment he went out, his eyes suddenly went dark and he fainted on the spot. When he woke up again, he was surprised to find that he had turned back into an elementary school student from a college student. Ye Wanqing, who had also rejuvenated and looked a dozen years younger, was holding him and walking slowly and firmly. This scene made people feel as if they were back to their childhood.

Thinking about what happened next, Ye Hong felt as if he was in another world.

……

A few days later, relying on the unique experience of mountain people, Ye Wanqing finally led Ye Hong out of the mountains along the stream. After entering the village, they suddenly saw many men and women in ancient costumes. The two realized belatedly that they had traveled through time and space and came to a seemingly real ancient world.

The new life is not as beautiful as imagined. Instead, it is full of hardships. Not only do we have to face a completely unfamiliar history, but we also have to solve the immediate problem of food and clothing. Being penniless means having no clothes and no food. Without a stable place to stay, we can only drift like rootless duckweed. What's worse is that the ancient and modern languages ​​are not interchangeable, and communication is very difficult.

At this critical moment, Ye Wanqing stood up.

"I don't think I'll let you suffer from cold and hunger in this life."

As she spoke this, she first learned some simple languages, and then, with the guidance of others, she took Ye Hong to a town called Longyin Town, took out her jewelry to pawn, and successfully exchanged it for the first pot of gold. With this money, she finally had enough food to eat and bought suitable old clothes.

Afterwards, Ye Wanqing took Ye Hong and followed the fleeing crowd to the "refugee camp" in Baiyan City, the largest city nearby.

Here, there are people with their families, the elderly and children. After the two of them successfully integrated into the group, they were no longer conspicuous.

Later, when the imperial court re-registered them, they suddenly became citizens of Daxia.

After arriving in this strange world, faced with the situation that Ye Hong had shrunk and his life had gone back more than ten years, she also regained her youthful state and even became more radiant.

Not only did he withstand the pressure of life and support the two of them by his own efforts, but later, he also started his own business based on his previous experience working in a financial company. He built up a family fortune from scratch, which was not lucrative but sufficient.

If the story ended here and the two lived a happy and stable life from then on, it would be a good story.

However, after their lives settled down, they discovered something incredible by chance: there actually are gods in this world!

Since then, the whole world's painting style has changed, and Ye Hong's goal has also undergone earth-shaking changes.

Chapter 2 Fire in Water

In the main room, water was still dripping from the corners of Ye Hong's brown clothes. He casually answered Ye Wanqing with a few words, then walked straight into the inner room and began to take off his wet clothes piece by piece, revealing his slender back. Soon, he was left with only a pair of white calf-nose pants.

"are not you cold?"

Ye Wanqing followed Ye Hong in naturally, took out a sweat towel, walked behind Ye Hong, and carefully helped him dry his hair and every wet spot on his back.

"I can do it myself."

As he was speaking, Ye Hong snatched the towel from her hand.

"Well, get under the quilt after you're done." Ye Wanqing instructed him, "I'll go to the kitchen to boil some water first, and then you can go to my room and take a hot bath to warm yourself up."

"No, it's too much trouble."

Ye Hong shook his head and protested softly.

After all, conditions in ancient times were not as good as they are today, and boiling water required a lot of firewood. On weekdays, they usually took advantage of the sunshine to bathe in the sun, which saved both trouble and effort.

"What's the trouble?"

Ye Wanqing frowned. She was afraid that he would catch a cold. Children's immunity is not as good as adults'. Especially since he was born prematurely, his physical condition was very poor. He weighed only 1.8 jin when he was born and stayed in the incubator for two whole months before coming out. After that, he often fell ill. He was taken to the hospital every few days for various examinations and intravenous drips every day.

She immediately said with a straight face: "You can't tell the priorities at all, and you forgot the most important thing!"

Ye Hong was helpless, "I haven't forgotten. How could I forget?"

After all, that was the immortal cultivation he had always dreamed of.

Ye Wanqing added: "The sky has cleared up. It will probably be a few days before the Ascension Conference begins... If you catch a cold by accident, let's see what you will do then!"

The so-called Immortal Ascension Conference is actually a general term for the ceremony of recruiting disciples in the immortal sects, which is held every three years. At that time, the immortals will select children with spiritual roots from the secular world to join the sect to replenish fresh blood.

For these lucky ones who are chosen, they embark on the path of spiritual practice, transforming from mortals into immortals, and live forever from then on, so it is called "ascending to immortality."

Having said that, Ye Wanqing pushed Ye Hong into bed and told him to get ready to take a shower later.

He lay in the warm bed, unconsciously lost in thought.

Ever since he learned that one could cultivate immortality in this world, a mysterious and alluring picture slowly unfolded before his eyes. He was determined to give it a try, and so he crammed a lot of knowledge in the area.

In fact, these are not secrets at all. It is not difficult to understand if you really want to. It’s just that they are too far away from the lives of ordinary people. After all, those who possess "spiritual roots" are one in a thousand, so few people mention them on a daily basis.

The southern Huazhou where he and Ye Wanqing are now located belongs to the sphere of influence of the "Hua Sect". It is said that this immortal cultivation sect was originally established by a group of top female cultivators who huddled together for warmth, and it announced to the outside world that it only recruited female disciples.

Logically speaking, it was impossible for a boy like him to join the Hua Sect, and he could only look for another place to go. But in practice, it was not like that. Although the Hua Sect was recognized as the first sect in the state, it was not the only one. It also had many large and small sects under it, which could absorb and cultivate boys with the qualifications of cultivating immortals. In this way, he could be regarded as indirectly joining the Hua Sect and being protected.

The sect that Ye Hong chose for himself was a sect called "Qiuye Sect". It was said that its leader was the husband of an elder of the Hua Sect. Because of this connection, the Qiuye Sect had more or less received some resources and was developing rapidly.

The only drawback was that because the first generation leader lived off his wife and did so for granted, people inevitably envied and hated him, so the Akiba Sect was nicknamed the "Son-in-law Sect."

However, this was not a big deal for Ye Hong, who came from later generations. In his opinion, the senior leader was right. If one stubbornly refused to accept the kindness of his partner because of his dignity, that would be truly stupid and would also belittle the love from the other person.

When it comes to judging certain things on others, Ye Hong can still remain sober and rational, but he cannot do so when it comes to Ye Wanqing.

Sometimes, he would reflect on whether he was too harsh to Ye Wanqing. He deliberately chose to go to university in the capital, far away from home, and only went back a few times a year. He would rather apply for student loans and work-study than ask her for living expenses. He spent all his boring time playing pay-to-win mobile games and watching short videos, and would never take the initiative to call her.

Gradually, the emotional exchanges between them became less and less, and they no longer often talked before going to bed and exchanged plans for the future like they did when they were children.

……

Soon, the bath water was ready.

Ye Wanqing poured cold water into the bathtub placed behind the antique screen, and then went to the kitchen to fetch a few buckets of hot water. During this time, the shirtless Ye Hong was thinking about other things and seemed a little absent-minded, until Ye Wanqing gently pushed him with her hand, and he finally reacted.

"Master, don't just stand there, the water is ready, go take a shower."

Ye Wanqing addressed Ye Hong in a joking manner, and when she looked down at him, her brows were often relaxed and her eyes were smiling.

Two screens with landscape paintings separated the two of them. The floor that served as the bathroom was covered with soft felt. The long bathtub that emitted hot steam was not very big, but the rim was much deeper than modern bathtubs. He had to stand on a high stool to climb in, which he was deeply ashamed of.
