C514 reincarnation
In the moment of his death, Liu Du thought about many things, he thought about his parents, who he had never met before, Shui Yueer, and Zhao Yunyun. He was unwilling, but, strength has its limits, something that no one can change.
Whether it was mortals or cultivators, they all treated you like a equal in the eyes of the world. It was not because you were a cultivator that you were above everyone else.
In the last moment of his life, Liu Du had thought it through. It didn't matter if he loved or hated her, he would just vanish into thin air in the end.
Just like a small stream, in the end, it could only return to the sea.
However, Liu Du had his persistence, and this persistence also allowed him to live for a bit. When his soul was completely destroyed, a large hand in the air pulled out a wisp of his soul and threw it into the void.
This time, Liu Du could be considered to have been reborn. However, it was no longer related to the past. Lou Lan, a small country like the other small countries, admired the civilization of the Eastern Victory Divine Continent.
On an April day, the Lou Lan was still covered in yellow sand, making it hard to see the sky.
However, there was an oasis in the Lou Lan that was filled with yellow sand.
The spring wind did not touch the jade gate, but the spring wind blew through the oasis.
Above the oasis, a small river slowly flowed all the way to the foot of Mount Qilian.
The wind slowly drifted away, landing on a youth atop Mount Qi.
The youth's body was weak, like a gust of wind that could knock him down. He wore a long, snow-white robe, and his entire body seemed to exude the aura of a book.
On his waist was a small gourd that did not match his appearance.
This man was a scholar from the Lou Lan named Liu Du. His parents had died a few years ago, and he had struggled bitterly to write sages and study for high school. He thought that he would be able to reach high school, but never did he expect that he would fail in the Large Competition.
He was around sixteen or seventeen years old, and his face was young and tender.
After drinking a mouthful of wine, Liu Du sighed.
"For the past three years, I have been studying the Book of Virtue and thought that I would be ranked, but I did not expect that my life would still be in vain. Could it be that I, Liu Du, do not have the orders to become rich as an official? "
His gaze landed in the distance, becoming rather profound.
"It doesn't matter if you're studying or working; you have to support yourself. Since there's no one who wants to make a fortune as a government official, from tomorrow on, I'll find some work to do. I won't starve to death. I don't know how much food there is in the house, but with my weak body, what can I do? "
Liu Du's expression remained calm, but his heart was filled with melancholy. All these years, he had been struggling in the lowest rung of society. However, only he was able to experience that sort of misery.
In the Lou Lan, the status of a scholar was very high. There was no high school in the training hall, and it was no worse than a clay man.
"Ai, there's no use in being a scholar." To think that I, Liu Du, would actually end up like this despite boasting about myself, is this fate? " As a scholar, Liu Du was completely powerless. If he did not study, he would not be able to compare to normal people, he could not pick on people on his shoulders, he could not use his hands, he was no different from a cripple. The reason why he was able to survive was because someone helped him, and even helped him copy down some things during his free time.
But now, the world had changed. There were less and less people who wanted to find him to copy. What should he do? Liu Du sat at the top of the mountain and laughed bitterly. If a young lady from a noble family were to fall for him, or have a noble person to help her, then I would have no regrets in my life.
"However, if I could be a teacher and earn some money to support myself, who would be willing to hire me as a young man?"
All of this was like a huge mountain crushing down onto the young man's body. He was at a loss regarding the future. He had no idea where the way out lay.
"These few years, I've been studying the Book of Virtue. Looking at those books, I feel like vomiting, could it be that the Imperial examinations really aren't a way out for me, Liu Du?"
Looking at the small stream at the bottom of the mountain, Liu Du smiled bitterly as he continued to run.
This stream could flow into the river, but where could he go?
This world is so big, does it mean that there really isn't a place for me, Liu Du, to stay?
I heard that thousands of miles away, there is a Divine Continent called East Victory. In the center of the Divine Continent, there is a Tang Dynasty where the people live and work merrily. There are no beggars.
But very quickly, Liu Du shook his head, the Tang Dynasty was far, far away from the Lou Lan, so far that it was impossible to tell how far it was. Not to mention the chaos in the battlefield, even if the world was peaceful, he still wouldn't be able to travel that far by trekking over mountains and rivers.
After letting out a deep sigh, Liu Du's heart became even more at a loss. He was just a youth, yet he had to bear such a heavy burden. If it were anyone else, they would have long ago given up on their own power to survive. However, he could not allow his parents to die without being able to bring honor to their ancestors. That would be disrespecting their ancestors.
Liu Du was the most filial person, he could not do what he was told.
Liu Du sighed three times, but just as he was about to leave, he suddenly heard a scream for help.
Liu Du looked around, but did not see anyone, and could not help but laugh at his own suspicions.
This was a desolate wilderness. Where did this person come from? He bitterly smiled and was too lazy to pay any more attention to her, and was about to leave.
But soon there was another cry for help, and he stopped and listened. It came from the bottom of the cliff.
Stretching out his head to look, he saw that halfway down the cliff, a head had stuck out. When the person saw Liu Du, he was overjoyed: "Are you Scholar Liu?"
Liu Du laughed bitterly, how could he be considered a scholar? He was just a poor scholar, he knew who that person was, it was the son of the county's carpenter, Wang Tie-zhu. Although the two did not interact much, they could still be considered acquaintances.
Liu Du asked doubtfully: "How did you get down there?"
The cliff was so steep, so how did Wang Tiezhu go down it.
Just then, another head popped out, and Liu Du recognized that person to be Steward Chen's only son, Chen Lin.
"Fly!" Chen Lin stammered.
Liu Du snickered. He was a mess, how could he fly?
"Wait a moment, I'll go find a rope to save you." Liu Du came to the top of the mountain at this time without bringing any rope. He looked around, found some vines, tied them up, and threw them off the cliff.
Chen Lin pulled on the vine and was about to climb up. At this moment, an ice-cold voice sounded out from behind Liu Du, "Since you've delivered yourself up, then stay behind.
This voice was ice-cold and emotionless. Liu Du was shocked, he turned and saw a girl who could not tell her age looking at him. Beside the girl, was a man with a pale face and fierce gaze. Seeing that, Liu Du thought of something and took a step back.
"Who are you people?" Liu Du trembled, his voice also becoming stuttering. He could sense an aura from this woman's body that caused him to feel fear.
It was an intuition that the woman in front of him was like a venomous snake, ready to bite him to death at any moment.
The lady glanced at Liu Du expressionlessly and flung her sleeves. Chen Lin and Wang Tie-zhu floated up from the cliff and landed in front of Liu Du.
Recently, he had been having a dream. It seemed that he also had this ability in his dreams, and that he could even kill a person in between his memories.
"Senior Sister Qin is truly capable, to have gathered all of them so quickly, Junior Brother is truly impressed." the man said.
The woman did not say a word as she looked at Liu Du coldly, "This time when we went down the mountain, the Sect Leader ordered us to find three servants. We were originally short of one, since you have delivered yourself up to us, then I will not be polite."
Chen Lin said loudly, "I'm not going. My father is an outsider and a rich man. I want to marry many beautiful women. I don't want to be a servant. I want to go, I want to go!" Chen Lin cried out, unwilling to die.
But Wang Tiezhu did not say a word, Liu Du did not dare to say a word, he knew that these people were not people he could resist.
"Humph, to be able to become an Immortal's servant is also your good fortune." The woman sneered. Without waiting for the three of them to react, she threw out a flying sword and flew away.
The intense astral wind was blowing painfully, causing people to cry even more, Liu Du whispered to Wang Tiezhu, "Who are these people?"
Wang Tiezhu was at a loss. "Those are immortals."
When he spoke, Wang Tiezhu felt a wave of yearning.
Liu Du shook his head, he suddenly realized in his heart, there really is an immortal in this world?
According to the legends, the immortals were all above the mortal world and were very different from the mortal world. However, these two people were like robbers; they were immortals of some sort.
Chen Lin, that fat guy, had been crying non-stop as he muttered, "My dad's family is extremely rich, and I still want to inherit his property. I don't want to be that random janitor. If I want to go back, you can let me go."
The woman said coldly, "If you make any more noise, I'll throw you down."
Being scolded by the woman, Little Fatso did not dare speak anymore. He looked wronged as he looked at Liu Du.
He lightly pulled on Liu Du's Ikkyu Soojun and spoke with grievance: "My family is so rich, and everyone serves me. I don't need to serve anyone, I don't want to do it, I want to go home."
Liu Du felt some sympathy for the little fatty. He knew that the little fatty had lived like a prince since he was young, and was indeed not willing to work as a servant, but since the situation had already become like this, what could he do?
There might be a better way out.
Liu Du was open-minded by nature and quickly forgot about this matter.
He comforted the little fatty softly. "Don't cry anymore. It's so ugly."
The little fatty continued crying until the woman revealed a murderous look and glared at him coldly. Then, he shut his mouth.
"We're here." Suddenly, the lady said one sentence, and Liu Du and the other two dropped from their flying swords, rolling on the ground.
Looking at the scenery in front of him, Liu Du opened his eyes wide.
The scenery here was not beautiful at all. There were layers of pavilions in the middle of the trees, and the floors were made of green jade. The majestic palaces could be seen everywhere.
There were even waves of chanting, causing one to feel relaxed and happy.
Liu Du took a deep breath, and Little Fatty and Wang Tie-zhu were also dumbstruck. They had never seen such a beautiful scenery. This was much better than the county town.
Perhaps, being an Immortal servant wasn't something that was shameful. Liu Du was currently troubled by the thought of getting warm and full, at least in this place, he wouldn't starve to death. Since he failed the Imperial examinations, he might as well stay here. As he walked higher, the water would flow lower and lower. Since he had come here, it would be better to take care of it.
Thinking about that, Liu Du couldn't help but ask, "Where is this place?"
The woman didn't even turn around as she softly said.
"Nature's Mystery Sect!"
