Chapter 194 Where the story begins

In the winter of the 31st year of Jianing, it’s evening.

The sunset filled the sky, like red waves slowly ebbing.

There are no more soldiers coming and going in Luo City. The common people are tentatively coming out of their homes, and there are hawkers carrying poles selling along the street.

The vendor only dared to lower his voice at first, but then his voice gradually relaxed: "Tofu! Just braised tofu!"

Marketplaces are like weeds that can grow wildly from the cracks in bricks and rocks and cliffs.

Everything will return to normal, and time seems to have only left a long scar on a few people, which is slowly healing.

The apprentice's dormitory at Taiping Medical Center was filled with the smell of alcohol.

Chen Ji was lying on the bunk in an ugly state, sleeping soundly. He kicked off the quilt again and again, and Wu Yun took the quilt in his mouth and covered him again, then folded his hands and lay silently beside him.

I don't know how much time passed, but Chen Ji slowly opened his eyes and asked dryly: "...How did I come back? Why do I have no memory at all?"

Wu Yun muttered: "You suddenly went crazy in the morning. You took the wine jar to the Drum Tower to watch the sunrise, and you said you were sailing for a sword. Later, you were so drunk that you talked nonsense. After a while, you pulled the soldiers under the Drum Tower and said, 'Second Battalion Commander, you fucking Italian cannon'

', and after a while the driver pulling the carriage said, 'I want to report Concubine Xi for having an affair and causing filth in the harem.'"

Chen Ji sat up in shock, dumbfounded: "Ah?"

Wu Yun hesitated for a moment: "Chen Ji, have you ever been a concubine in the forty-ninth heaven?"

Chen Ji quickly explained: "That's a line in the play."

Wu Yun breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."

Chen Ji was shocked and confused: "What else did I say?"

Wu Yun recalled: "It's all a mess, I can't remember it clearly."

Chen Ji also breathed a sigh of relief, lay back lazily, and looked at the roof quietly.

He was a little bit dumbfounded. If it weren't for these drunken nonsense, he almost forgot that he actually didn't belong to this world.

"Dark clouds, time flies so fast."

In the blink of an eye, he has been in this world for more than two months. It was still autumn when he first arrived, but now it has snowed heavily.

The room became quiet, Chen Ji lay on his back on the bunk, Wu Yun also lay on his back and leaned on his arm, one person and one cat looked at the cobwebbed beams, wondering what they were thinking.

It was as if after being drunk, so many things that happened last night were just a dream and had nothing to do with today.

Chen Ji murmured in a low voice: "No wonder so many people like to drink. No wonder the master said that when you get older, drinking wine will taste a bit bitter... I don't know where the master has gone. The medical center doesn't want it anymore."

Wu Yun replied: "Master said that he is going to a far away place and will not come back again."

Chen Ji sighed a little: "They are all gone, what else can Master say?"

Wu Yun recalled for a moment, imitating old man Yao's tone and said: "Let that boy not have to worry about me. My old man is very happy without him by my side."

Chen Ji's eyes widened: "Is this what Master said?"

Wu Yun was confused: "It doesn't look like it? If you think it doesn't look like it, I'll make up another sentence for you."

Chen Ji said helplessly: "...It's not necessary."

Wu Yun looked at Chen Ji curiously with his round eyes: "Chen Ji, Master said you come from the forty-ninth heaven. What is the forty-ninth heaven like? Are there any gods flying in the sky?"

Chen Ji replied with a smile: "I don't know what the other forty-nine heavens are like, but in ours, ordinary people can fly around in the sky."

Wu Yun was shocked: "Have you flown before?"

Chen Ji said cheerfully: "I flew there several times."

Wu Yun stood in awe: "Ferocious!"

Chen Ji touched its head: "It's not fierce at all, as long as you have money. Maybe I will have the opportunity to take you to see where I live in the future, and I will also take you to fly a few times."

"It's a deal?"

"It's a deal." Chen Ji suddenly said: "But before that, we have to change our way of life."

Wuyun agreed: "Okay."

Chen Ji was curious: "Don't you ask what the living method is?"

Wu Yun meowed casually: "No need, you have the final say on our family's important affairs."

Chen Ji was happy: "Wuyun, you are so kind."

"Can you," Wu Yun asked, "will you go back to Chen's house today?"

Chen Ji rubbed his temples: "I won't go back for now, there should be guests coming later."

Wu Yun was confused: "Guest?"

"Well, the people who came to kill me."

…

…

In front of the kitchen stove, Chen Ji was sitting on a small bench watching the firewood burning, and was distracted for a moment. The firelight reflected on his face, and the flames flickered in his eyes.

The heat wave in the stove made his cheeks swell.

Wu Yun reminded: "Chen Ji, the pot is hot."

Chen Ji groaned, got up, scooped out a piece of pure white lard, threw it into the pot, fried a plate of fried tofu, a plate of vinegar-soaked cabbage, a plate of minced meat with sour beans, and a plate of fried bacon with dried bamboo shoots. It was simple.

It was already getting late, so he brought the dishes into the yard, placed three more sets of bowls and chopsticks, and then sat down at the Eight Immortals table and said, "You two, after waiting for so long, come down and eat together."

The laughter of the bright rabbit came from the roof of the main hall: "The last time Mr. Haidong Qingchen invited us to dinner, we were almost killed by firearms. This time he invited us to dinner again. I wonder if it was a Hongmen Banquet for us."

When Chen Ji looked up, he saw a bright rabbit standing on the eaves on the left side. Under the crescent moon, a cloud sheep squatted on the right side, full of murderous intent.

He was in a daze. When he first came to this world, he saw these two people trying to kill him.

Two months have passed in circles, and these two are still trying to kill me.

Chen Ji sat at the table and divided the chopsticks slowly: "You two are worrying too much, this is not a Hongmen Banquet. Master Bailong has arranged for the two of you to work under me from now on, so we should work together. I sincerely invite you two

Don’t think too much about your subordinates’ meals.”

Yunyang sneered: "You want to be our boss? I'm afraid you won't survive!"

"Oh?" Chen Ji pretended to be confused: "You two want to kill me? I am Lord Bailong's servant now, are you two afraid of him blaming me?"

Jiaotu's eyes flickered: "We exposed your betrayal of Prince Jing early in the morning."

After saying that, he pulled out two Emei thorns from her waist and threw them to Yunyang: "When Lord Bailong asks, we will tell you that the owner of these Emei thorns killed you. Prince Jing is his great benefactor.

It is reasonable and reasonable for Prince Jing to take revenge."

Chen Ji smiled and said: "You two don't take Master Bailong seriously as a human being. How could you possibly deceive him with such a thing... However, there is no need to fight between us."

The white rabbit tilted his head, a little confused: "How to say?"

Chen Ji raised his head and looked at Jiaotu: "How long did it take you two to get the zodiac sign?"

Jiaotu sighed with emotion: "It's been so many years. It took a lot of effort to become a zodiac sign, but after only half a year of glory, it was knocked back to its original shape. It's so miserable."

Chen Ji asked again: "You two are now pigeon-level spies. How long will it take to get back to your zodiac sign?"

Jiaotu lowered his head and counted with his fingers: "Kill ten people for internal affairs to return to Haidongqing's position. Kill another twenty before you can become a member of Haidongqing. Kill fifty more."

...But in the past few years, Xiang has killed all the people he wanted to kill. It’s really a bit troublesome to get back to his zodiac sign.”

Chen Ji said with a smile: "Now that the positions of Sheep and Rabbit are vacant, who can guarantee that these two positions will definitely be reserved for you. Presumably other people from Wu Nian Mountain are coveting these two positions."

He continued: "The two of you have been stagnant in the innate realm for many years, and are only one step away from the realm of seeking the Tao. If you can't use your merits to exchange for the next level of cultivation before the age of thirty-six, I'm afraid you will have to go through the same experience as ordinary people.

Birth, old age, sickness and death.”

The white rabbit smiled and said nothing.

Chen Ji looked up at her and said loudly: "You work for me, and within a year, I will help you return to your zodiac sign, how about it?"

Under the moonlight, on the eaves, the air solidified.

The white rabbit played with his hair with his green-white fingers, and thoughts flashed in his eyes.

Chen Ji asked: "How long did it take for the two of you to go from sparrow-level spies to Haidongqing?"

The White Rabbit calculated the time: "Six years."

Chen Ji asked again: "How long did I use it?"

Jiaotu paused for a moment while twirling his fingers around his hair, and his eyes lit up: "...two months. Yunyang, it seems like a good suggestion for him to help us return to our zodiac sign. I'll just say that.

, everyone should stop fighting and kill each other, it would be great if you can be happy and cooperate."

Yunyang's face darkened: "This kid has a lot of evil ideas, so let him have long nights and dreams."

Yunyang held the Emei thorn in both hands, jumped from the right side, and flew toward Chen Ji as lightly as a flying dragon.

Chen Ji calmly pushed the Eight Immortals table two feet with his hands without changing his expression.

Inadvertently, I saw him standing up suddenly, hooking his toes and picking up the whale knife hidden under the table into his hand.
