I am a fairy

Chapter 282 Jiang Chao's Avatar

Yunzhong Palace Temple.

The trees in the courtyard were emitting a faint light, and there seemed to be a phoenix feather lying on the ground. The witch carefully picked it up and enshrined it in the box.

Taoist Jin'ao entered the hall and explained the number of temple priests and earth gods conferred in various counties last year. He also reported on the identification and division of the duties of the City God, and talked about the progress of the matter of the return of souls in various counties.

Seeing the wizard beside Linghua Jun writing down everything with a pen, Linghua Jun nodded, which represented his approval of Taoist Jin'ao.

Next, Linghua Jun asked Taoist Jinao about what he had seen and heard on the road.

Taoist Jin'ao then talked about the scene of ghosts and gods crossing the river that he saw on the road.

Follow the trend.

Taoist Jin'ao then asked about the recent inventory of the names of life and death from ancient times to the present by the Great God of Destiny, as well as the recent return of souls.

"I don't know if these two are related, or if something happened in Huangquan that I don't know about?"

After saying this, Taoist Jin Ao bowed.

"Could you please ask Lord Linghua to solve the doubts in Jin Ao's heart?"

Linghua Jun roughly knew some of the situation, but she didn't understand the details clearly. She knew that Yunzhong Jun should be looking for the oldest people born in the Nine Provinces of the human world recently, the first group of people created by Nuwa in the legend.

Everything has changed with the passage of time, and the remains of those people may have turned into the earth. How can we find them?
However, according to rumors from the underworld, the Great God of Life has begun recording the ancestors of everyone in his book, tracing back dozens of generations.

Many people themselves don’t even know where they came from or who their ancestors were.

But all of this is clearly recorded in the hands of the Great God of Destiny.

At that time, the Shinto had not yet been reopened, and the world was desolate. It was not like today, where there are gods of the earth and lords of the mountains in all directions, and dragon spirits in all corners of the world, who could find out anything they wanted to find out.

As long as you chant a spell and summon the god of the earth or the god of water, you can easily find out the truth.

Linghua Jun didn't know how the Great God of Destiny knew all this, and could only sigh that it must be the work of a god.

However, since Taoist Jin'ao asked, Linghua Jun might as well say something. Who knows what Taoist Jin'ao knows. After all, Taoism has a very long heritage, and he might know some rumors from ancient times.

"When I went to pay my respects to the Sun Shrine before, Yun Zhongjun asked me a question."

"Where is Nuwa?"

"Then how were the ancient people created? Where was the place where the ancient gods created people?"

Taoist Jin'ao was also a little surprised. How could a mortal know the answer to this question?

Moreover, if humans were really created by Nuwa, shouldn't Yun Zhongjun be the witness? Why would he ask this question?

Linghua Jun also noticed the confusion on Taoist Jin'ao's face and continued.

"Perhaps Yun Zhongjun was still in heaven at that time and had never come to this world."

"That's not the ancient times."

“Perhaps it can be said that it was before the beginning of chaos, when even the human race had not yet been born into this world.”

"Gods and demons are mixed together, and it is difficult to distinguish between humans and gods. Yun Zhongjun has never known the affairs of every god and demon."

"The way of immortals has not yet been opened, the way of gods has not yet been determined. Without the gods and immortals in the heavens to rule the world, there would be no order, let alone reincarnation."

Taoist Jin'ao nodded. Things were beyond his imagination. He thought it was about reincarnation, but he didn't expect this matter to involve ancient times.

It even involves the origin of human beings, the legend of Nuwa creating human beings in mythology.

"This……"

Taoist Jin'ao couldn't understand why the gods wanted to trace back to this ancient event.

But at this moment, Jin Ao suddenly remembered something.

He asked Linghua Jun: "May I ask Linghua Jun, have you ever heard of someone who knows everything since birth?"

Ling Huajun looked at Jin Ao and asked, "Could it be that the person who was reincarnated still remembers some of the past events?"

Although Linghua Jun had never heard of such a thing happening, he had once wondered whether reincarnation might sometimes go wrong.

After reincarnation, people still remember who they were in their previous life.

Taoist Jin'ao shook his head and told Linghua Jun.

"At that time, reincarnation had not yet begun, and there had never been anyone reincarnated in the human world. However, there were already some rumors in many places in the human world."

"Some children are born with memories of things that happened decades ago, saying they came from somewhere thousands of miles away and what their names were."

"And people from thousands of miles away came and found that what the child said was exactly right. Then they actually found that there was a person who said exactly the same thing as the child, and the events matched up."

"This is really strange."

"That place is thousands of miles away. His parents and the people in the village have never been to such a far place. Even if someone told him, it is impossible for him to say something he doesn't know!"

Linghua Jun: "Is there such a person?"

Taoist Jin Ao said: "I heard about this incident from a retired county magistrate in Xiangzhou. This incident happened under his former rule. He swore that it was true. I don't know whether it is true or not."

"But that man was once an official, and he behaved very well. He doesn't seem like someone who would talk nonsense."

Ling Huajun nodded: "But what does this have to do with the matter of Nuwa creating humans that I just mentioned?"

Taoist Jin Ao immediately said, "The key point is that it is said that the man who was born with knowledge not only talked about things that happened decades ago, but can even talk about things that happened hundreds of years ago, or even further back."

"It's like he's not just a person who can still remember his previous life after reincarnation, but can even remember things going back several generations, even dozens of generations, and even further back in time."

“For example, the ancient saints and the kings of the Nine Provinces. Although he was clearly a child, he talked about these ancient saints as if he knew them.”

"And from time to time, the child would utter some elegant words that were clearly from ancient times."

"When I first heard this rumor, I just treated it as a joke."

"Just now I heard Linghua Jun talking about Nuwa creating humans. I don't know why, but I suddenly remembered this rumor."

When Taoist Jin'ao said this, his expression became much more serious.

"If we want to know what happened in ancient times, if we find this person, will we be able to learn something?"

Although Linghua Jun felt that the difference was a bit far-fetched, even if there really was such a person, even if he was really found.

How can we be sure that he will know about the ancestor of mankind?

But since such a thing has happened and Taoist Jin'ao has also brought it up, it would be good to investigate it.

Whatever he is.

As Lord Linghua, she also has the responsibility to figure out why such an obviously abnormal person is allowed to walk in the world.

Linghua Jun looked at Taoist Jinao and spoke.

"Then I'll leave this matter to the Taoist priest."

This is exactly what Taoist Jin'ao wanted, and he immediately said with a beaming smile.

"It is obligatory."

Jin Ao did not stay for a few days after the ceremony. He just sent some disciples to stay in Huajing City to do some things. In the future, these disciples will follow Huajing City to Luojing and go to the north together.

When leaving, Taoist Jin'ao was also treated to a banquet by Emperor Wen Ji.

His junior fellow apprentice Taoist Danhe was also present, and also present at the banquet were several second-generation disciples of the Samsara Temple and many nobles.

Long time no see.

When Taoist Jin'ao looked at his junior fellow apprentice Danhe, he discovered that he had also aged a lot. Ever since the chaos caused by the immortality elixir caused by Xiong Hai, the other party seemed to have aged faster than before.

In an instant, all the resentment in my heart completely disappeared.

"Immortal!"

"Immortality!"

All the disputes in the world are ultimately nothing but an illusion.

Only the throne in heaven and immortality are real.

Taoist Jin'ao and Taoist Danhe seemed to have put aside their past grudges and said some things they had never said before. Taoist Jin'ao also said that he wanted to make plans for the future, and Taoist Danhe nodded repeatedly, and he did the same.

After it was over, Emperor Wen Ji even escorted Taoist Jin Ao out of the palace, looking extremely polite.

Even though Taoist Jin'ao said that he didn't care about human matters, he was still deeply moved.

"His Majesty!"

"Please take care of yourself. The affairs of the world still depend on you, Your Majesty!"

Emperor Wen Ji thinks highly of Taoist Jin Ao. The two are of the same generation and came from Yinzhou together.

After many years, Jin Ao felt that he was getting old, and so did Wen Ji.

However, Wen Ji also knew where he would go. He would be buried in the Dragon Palace after his death, so he was not so afraid of life and death.

Wen Ji was holding Taoist Jin'ao's hand, still thinking about reminiscing about the past, when a temple servant approached and said something cautiously.

After hearing this, Wen Ji couldn't help but shook his head.

"These Rong people really are..."

Taoist Jin'ao was a little curious and looked over.

Emperor Wen Ji also said: "Some envoys from foreign countries came to pay tribute. They were unruly at first. After all, they had fought several battles with Northern Yan before and had gained a lot of advantages."

"They say they are here to pay tribute, but in fact they are here to ask for benefits."

"But now he has suddenly changed, becoming arrogant at first and respectful later, crying and saying that he wants to be my subject and refuses to go back."

It sounded like Wen Ji was showing off.

Taoist Jin Ao also complimented Emperor Wen Ji and said with a bow.

"Your Majesty has received the mandate of heaven, and you are blessed with great fortune and wealth. It is not surprising that foreign envoys come to the Celestial Empire to see its prosperity and hear its elegant music, and are sincerely convinced by its splendor."

The emperor laughed loudly: "Master, you are thinking the wrong way."

"These foreign barbarians are not coming for me. They don't want to be my subjects, but to be the people of the Nine Provinces." "These foreign barbarians also want to enter the land of Shenzhou and become the people of Shenzhou. They want to be immortal in the endless cycle of reincarnation and enter the wild grass after death."

When leaving from the main street in the ox cart, Taoist Jin'ao also saw the Rong people kneeling on both sides of the palace gate, swearing and vowing to submit to the Heavenly Dynasty.

As they walked forward, Taoist Jin'ao saw the barbarians kneeling with every step, heading towards the Yunzhong Palace Temple as if they were on pilgrimage.

These people should have left after paying tribute.

Generally they cannot leave, and are often not allowed to leave by the imperial court. They are detained in the capital as hostages, used as a means of checking and balancing outsiders.

But at this moment, these people just refused to leave.

Even if I die, I would rather stay in this capital city and on this land of China.

Taoist Jin Ao couldn't help laughing when he saw this scene.

With some mockery.

Then, he looked at the disciples behind him and said.

"You guys are really lucky!"

In fact, Taoist Jin'ao was more grateful for his good fortune.

If he had been born ten or twenty years earlier, or if he had been born in the wrong place, he might have been like these barbarians.

Some time in the morning, and some time in the evening.

It's the difference between immortality, endless reincarnation and a handful of earth.

Looking at the barbarians kneeling on the ground, the mockery on Taoist Jin Ao's face gradually disappeared. If it were him, he would probably be even worse than these people! -
Xiangzhou.

As soon as Taoist Jin'ao came back, he found the old county magistrate who had told him about the incident and asked him about it again.

The old man was very old, and looked to be in his seventies, which meant he was already in his seventies.

Although the old man is very old, he still remembers this absurd and bizarre incident very clearly.

"This happened about forty years ago, during the previous dynasty."

"The place is called Zhu County. I heard that there was a man in the countryside under my jurisdiction who could speak immediately. I thought he was a gifted child prodigy, so I went to see him."

"When I saw the boy, I was horrified."

"This person cannot be described as gifted, but is born with the knowledge."

Taoist Jin'ao asked about the conversation in detail. The old man still remembered that the boy was only three or four years old at the time, but he could already converse fluently with an official like him who was well-read in poetry and books, and when he quoted from scriptures, he made him feel ashamed.

Taoist Jin'ao: "Did the boy ever tell us who he is?"

The old man nodded, then shook his head.

"The boy said he had many names, and then he casually said one, saying he was from Luocheng County, a thousand miles away. I was skeptical at first."

"However, later on, someone from Luocheng County came and was greatly shocked when he heard about the incident. He said that what the boy said was absolutely correct."

"And this man actually recognized the boy. When the boy saw him, he called him by his name."

"You said, how can I not believe it?"

"There is no other explanation except knowing it by nature."

Jin Ao personally took the pen and wrote down everything the old man said, especially what the boy said about the previous dynasty, and even some things that happened even more anciently.

This is indeed unbelievable. Even if a child of three or four years old made up these things, if you replace him with another child, he may not be able to read these things out loud.

Even if you are gifted and can answer questions fluently, when facing a county magistrate who has been through many battles and is well-read in poetry and books, the other party will naturally tell at a glance whether you are just reading out loud or have really experienced it yourself.

However, the old man in front of him said that he was sure that the child was not reading from the script, because the movements, expressions and tone of voice were not something a child or teenager could do.

But when he said this, the old man suddenly remembered something.

"correct."

"He's not just talking about things that happened decades ago."

Taoist Jin Ao stopped writing and looked at the old man and asked.

"What else did you say?"

The old man recalled carefully, his white brows furrowed.

"Sometimes, the child also talked about a lot of strange things, which made people feel absurd."

"It is said that in ancient times, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors should have ruled the world, but due to errors, it has not been correct."

"As for the events of the Warring States period, it was supposed to be the Qin that unified the world, but it did not go as expected."

"And it speaks of things in the future."

"It is said that the world will be in chaos for 200 years, and then the Northern Dynasty will unify the country again."

"However, looking at the situation today, it is obviously inconsistent with this. The one who truly unified the world is our Wu Dynasty!"

When the old man said this, his expression showed some hesitation.

"From this point of view, perhaps what I said was all lies!"

After hearing this, Taoist Jin Ao also opened his mouth wide.

Isn't this just absurd?

It's complete nonsense.

He was also confused, not understanding whether this person was really born with knowledge or was simply talking nonsense.

Taoist Jin Ao asked, "Where is that person? Is he still in Zhu County now?"

The old man said, "I don't know about that, but it was still there when I left office."

then.

Taoist Jin'ao once again quickly rushed to Zhu County where the official lived before he retired and returned to his hometown. It can be said that he was traveling non-stop.

However, when I asked around, I learned one thing.

"what?"

"died?"

The villagers looked at Taoist Jin'ao, who was leaning on a hoe in the field, and thought for a long time before they remembered that there seemed to be such a person.

"There have been such people, but they have been dead for more than ten years."

Taoist Jin Ao asked, "How did he die?"

The villagers said: "I was young at the time, and I only heard him say that he was going to the north, but before he could leave, he fell ill and died the next day."

Taoist Jin Ao: "He said he was going on a long journey the day before, but he died of illness the next day. What kind of illness was this that came so suddenly?"

The villager then waved his hoe and said, "How should I know?"

But the person was indeed dead, which left Taoist Jin Ao empty-handed. He was a little at a loss and didn't know what to do next.

Jin Ao thought of the God of Destiny. If it was the God of Destiny, perhaps he could find a way!
But it is not that easy to pay homage to the God of Destiny.

He is still a living person. Not to mention that he does not have the appearance of a ghost or god now, even if he had the appearance of a ghost or god, he cannot cross the Yellow Spring River and enter the Youdu City.

"What should I do?"
-
Under the hibiscus tree.

On the top of the Great Sun Temple, Jiang Chao sat on a cloud bed, accepting worship from humans, gods, demons and ghosts.

Millions of figures knelt on the ground in worship, shouting "Emperor of Heaven".

However, at this moment, Jiang Chao's vision gradually overlapped, as if two different him appeared, looking at different places with two pairs of eyes.

One is the Emperor of Heaven who is high above the cloud bed.

One is an anthropomorphic figure that has just walked out of a dark and narrow space and stepped towards the earth.

"Number SWHF00001!"

"Power-on test in progress..."

“It’s undergoing a trial run.”

"Bootloader on!"

"Please try to move your hands and try to stand up."

Jiang Chao controlled the automatic anthropomorphic mechanical device to stand up, but for a moment, his own body could not help but want to move, but he quickly suppressed this sense of difference.

Another Jiang Chao walked out of the cabin, with a large number of symbols flowing across his irises, marking all the objects around him.

But in the blink of an eye, all the symbols and data disappeared.

Jiang Chao lowered his head and looked at his body.

The device had been built to resemble a human enough that it looked indistinguishable from the outside.

But without a heartbeat or a touch, it is also incomparably powerful.

Jiang Chao controlled his "incarnation" and walked to the exit, looking down at the world from a high place.

And this time.

Two Wangshus also appeared, one landed on the cloud bed of Emperor Jiang Chao, and the other stood under the woods not far from Jiang Chao, numbered SWHF00001, waiting for him.

The two Wangshus performed different actions, but had the same expression and said the same words.

Wangshu: "Where are you going first?"

Jiang Chao: "Let's go to Xiangzhou and have a look."

Jiang Chao, numbered SWHF00001, wore a pure white mask without any decoration. It was just a mask, a simple mask.

He walked past Wangshu and headed south of the Yangtze River.
