Rebirth is not a dream.
Chapter 21 Today's Daan
In recent days, Su Yue has been meditating and chanting in the temple, strictly observing the vegetarian diet and the monastic rules. She is concentrating on reading, holding in her hands the precious book she bought from Sanwuting Book House.
This ancient temple is quiet and peaceful, far away from the hustle and bustle of the world; and Su Yue is as dazzling as a pearl immersed in the ocean of knowledge. She sits by the window, the sunlight shines through the mottled leaves onto the pages of the book, forming a pattern of interlaced light and shadow - as if time has stopped at this moment, and the years are quiet and peaceful.
As the reading progressed, the wisdom and philosophy contained in the words were gradually revealed: the descriptions of life, the laws of operation of all things in the world, and historical changes opened Su Yue's eyes and inspired her deeply! At the same time, it also made her understand the unfamiliar dynasty she lived in more deeply and clearly...
In this mysterious era, everything seems familiar yet strange. Those names that once shone in history books - the Qin Emperor and Han Emperor, the heroes of the Three Kingdoms, and the celebrities of the Jin Dynasty - are still active in this world. However, what is surprising is that history, which should have evolved according to the established trajectory, has become confusing here.
For Su Yue, in her original understanding, the Three Kingdoms, the Jin Dynasty, the Southern and Northern Dynasties, that era was full of endless wars and disputes, and the North and the South were like fire and water, confronting each other. But now in this strange time and space, she was surprised to find that the direction of history had unexpectedly changed!
Although the current world seems to be divided in a similar way to the Southern and Northern Dynasties, with the two powerful forces of Beiyan and Da'an in the north confronting and competing with each other, the relationship between them and the changes that may occur in the future are completely different from the history that Su Yue is familiar with. Why is this? Could it be that the change of a key event triggered a series of chain reactions, which eventually deviated the entire historical development trajectory?
Faced with such a bizarre situation, Su Yue's heart was like a storm, and a deep sense of powerlessness and helplessness surged into her heart like a tide. Is this a test from God? She is just an ordinary little woman, how can she have the ability to change the situation?
It is particularly worth mentioning that a crucial battle took place exactly 25 years ago. At that time, Da'an showed its strong strength and finally gained an absolute lead in the fierce competition with Beiyan and Mobei. However, the consequences of this victory were beyond imagination, which completely subverted the original political landscape.
As the war was drawing to a close, Da'an took a series of puzzling actions. First, they resolutely moved the capital from Chang'an to Luoyang; second, and even more bizarrely, due to some unknown factors, Da'an, as the victorious party, actually sent a marriage delegation to Beiyan! This astonishing move surprised everyone and directly led to a sharp decline in its international status.
Today, Beiyan has made full use of Bingzhou's unique geographical conditions. Although no troops have been stationed here, they can still enter and exit the area at will. On the other hand, although Da'an also has generals and military officers stationed in Bingzhou, due to the lack of clear instructions and efficient dispatch from the court, these soldiers are like a group of headless flies who have lost their sense of direction and fell into chaos.
The border area of Da'an is now in a state of frequent wars and unrest, and the entire situation is very tense; and the south is also turbulent and full of uncertainties. Among them, Baiyue and Nanhai are located in the southern region. Although they appear to be submissive to Da'an and regularly pay tribute to Da'an, in fact, these two countries are ambitious, like hungry wolves, always coveting the fat meat of Da'an. As long as there is an opportunity, they will definitely pounce on it without hesitation and take a bite.
Looking to the west, the country of Xiliang was even more restless and often sent troops to provoke trouble; not only that, even disputes and conflicts often arose between Xishu and Nanzhao because of trivial matters. When Su Yue learned about these situations, she became extremely depressed. Before this, she had always believed that the current era was a peaceful and happy era, the country was prosperous, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, but she never expected that the real situation was so undercurrent, and the entire country might even collapse in an instant. What's more terrifying is that Su Yue has never experienced a war scene in person, especially a war like this in the cold weapon era, which is often accompanied by bloody massacres and tragic scenes after the city was breached. Whenever she thought of this, she felt that the intrigues in the mansion were not worth mentioning.
She wondered in her heart whether she should find an excuse to flee far away, to pursue a picturesque place with abundant products and fertile land, and live a carefree and happy life from then on. However, facing the chaotic situation of the country, she was at a loss whether such a paradise still existed in the world.
The more Su Yue thought about it, the more upset she became. She couldn't help cursing in her heart: "What kind of shit is this!" She was brought to this strange place for no reason. Nothing good happened to her. It was all chaos and mess! She was just an ordinary little woman. How could she save the world? All she wanted was to spend every day in peace. She never thought about living a life of fear and danger.
Oh, I really don't know how many traps are waiting for her to jump into! When Su Yue thought of this, she felt extremely depressed and helpless. At this moment, she had only one thought in her mind - go home, back to the warm and peaceful home in her previous life. But the question is, how can she return to her hometown?
Su Yue rushed out of the yard and ran to the top of the mountain in one breath. She stood there panting, looking far into the distance, and the rolling and overlapping mountains were in full view.
Su Yue took a deep breath, then suddenly opened her throat and yelled: "Ah...Ah..." The shout was deafening, as if it would break through the clouds and resound through the sky. She fully released her inner depression and dissatisfaction, letting all her troubles disappear with this shout.
After shouting, Su Yue felt much better, but also a little tired. When she calmed down a little, she suddenly realized that she had run too fast just now, and her legs were weak as if the bones were pulled out. She tried to stand up, but stumbled and almost fell to the ground.
Finally, Su Yue still couldn't keep her balance and fell to the ground. She sighed helplessly, tapped her legs lightly with her hands, and muttered to herself: "Oh, I'm so unlucky! This body is so fragile!"
Su Yue secretly lamented that she was now weak and frail. At this moment, she heard footsteps beside her, followed by two voices at the same time: "Madam, are you going to commit suicide?"
Su Yue turned around in astonishment, only to see two young men in brocade clothes standing not far behind her, with concern and anxiety on their faces. One of the young men was tall and handsome, with a heroic look between his sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes; the other young man was a little thin, but his eyes were clear and gave people a friendly feeling. Judging from his clothes, he should be an attendant.
Looking at the two strange boys who suddenly appeared in front of her, Su Yue was stunned for a moment, as if struck by lightning, and was actually a little speechless. She shook her head subconsciously, thinking to herself, are people in this era so frank and straightforward? The tall boy saw that she was a little weak and wanted to come over to support her. Su Yue hurriedly said, "I'm just tired and want to rest here."
"Rest on the edge of the cliff?" the tall boy asked suspiciously.
"......" After hearing the boy's question, Su Yue couldn't help but be stunned, and even began to doubt whether she really wanted to jump off the cliff. She thought to herself: Why does this boy talk like this? Doesn't he know that chatting like this is easy to make people disgusted? Really, if he continues like this, it will be difficult for him to make friends.
Afterwards, Su Yue took a deep breath, trying to keep herself calm, and said to the boy, "My family should be here soon, so you don't have to worry too much. Besides, I don't need your help, so please don't misunderstand me." When saying this, Su Yue tried her best to make her tone sound calm and firm, hoping to allay the boy's concerns and get them to mind their own business.
Su Yue really didn't want to have too much to do with these two young men. Who knows what kind of trouble they will cause. She just wanted to live a quiet life now. It was obvious that this young man was either rich or noble, so it was better not to provoke him. So she waved her hands repeatedly, signaling them to leave quickly, otherwise she would treat them as playboys. The young man probably encountered such a situation for the first time. After resting for a while and regaining some strength in his legs, he walked towards the temple at the foot of the mountain. He was arrogant, and seeing that Su Yue really didn't want them to help, he also went down the mountain in dismay.
After Su Yue took a break and regained some strength in her legs, she walked down the mountain back to the temple.
