The Eternal Beauty of the City of Wealth

Yang Xuan listened to the messenger's story silently, and felt a little admiration and sympathy for this young fellow.

It also made me feel more intimate with him.

She gave the messenger a thumbs up and said, "Don't be sad, my friend. You did a great job. I give you a thumbs up."

The messenger gestured towards Yang Xuan and said, "Thank you."

Yang Xuan said again: "My dear fellow, I would like to ask you a question."

The messenger looked at him puzzledly and asked, "What's the problem?"

"I'd like to ask you, since there are messengers of good rewards in Heaven, surely there are also messengers of bad rewards?"

"Well, as the saying goes, good is rewarded and evil is punished. This is inevitable."

Yang Xuan nodded: "Yeah, but I don't understand."

"Why do some good people in the world end up with such tragic outcomes, and some even die young?"

"And yet some of those bad and evil people live a prosperous and wealthy life?"

The messenger stroked his chin and pondered for a moment: "This question is not easy to answer."

"According to my personal understanding, it could also be due to the common saying that good people don't live long, but bad people live forever."

He paused again and said, "I don't think so. Perhaps the meaning of this sentence is that people feel that the way of heaven is unfair, and they are complaining about him."

Yang Xuan smiled and listened in confusion: "Please enlighten me, fellow."

The messenger nodded and said, "In fact, throughout history, good people have not lived long. This does not mean that all good people have not lived long. There are also many who have died of old age."

"It's not that those good people who died didn't receive any good rewards, but rather that they accepted the best arrangements made by the Heavenly Dao Ancestor, and each of them had a good destination."

"Maybe they went to ancient times, modern times, or the future, etc. In fact, their lives now are several times happier than in their previous lives."

"And the reason why those evil people have long lives is that they all enjoy wealth and glory."

"Most of the time it's because their parents or ancestors did a lot of good deeds in their previous lives."

"It is because of the blessings accumulated for them that they have the good fortune they have now."

"In my opinion, a long life is not necessarily a good thing."

"Whether commoners or emperors, everyone's life is full of ups and downs and disasters."

“How many people are struggling hard and working hard.”

"How many people have everything they want and everything goes smoothly? Ordinary people are busy working from dawn to dusk just to survive."

"Emperors and generals fought to the death for power."

"It may seem glorious on the surface, but how many people can understand the bitterness behind it?"

"Those who died were actually relieved, but the longer one lives, the more pain one experiences."

"It's either this pain or that pain, it's either this thing or that thing."

"You've lived for over a hundred years. Looking back on your life, how many days were there of happiness and contentment?"

Yang Xuan listened to him finish his words, not quite understanding them, and then rolled his eyes at the messenger.

She secretly scolded in her heart: Is this messenger mentally ill?

Look at what you said, since life on earth is so difficult, who would be willing to die?

This messenger is too pessimistic in his heart. He is really a lunatic, haha.

But then I thought about my past life again. Yes, I have also experienced 108 years of life.

Having seen the fickleness of the world, I wonder if all living beings really live a life that is as perfect as they wish?

How many people can truly understand and guess the mystery of life?

Yang Xuan just thought of this and slapped her forehead, but she missed. She slapped loneliness and the wind.

Bah, how come I was infected by this fellow villager?

I had just experienced my own death and the sadness of my son's death.

Why am I following the messenger and thinking about these sad and boring things?

If I keep asking, I'll go insane.

She thought about her bright future life and couldn't help but look happy and cheerful.

Seeing that Zixuan remained silent, the messenger continued, "Thus, good and evil will eventually be rewarded, it's just a matter of whether it comes sooner or later."

"Everything in this world will be arranged by the Heavenly Dao and the Great Ancestor. All you need to do is to do your best and have a clear conscience."

Yang Xuan nodded: "Well, fellow, let's not talk about this anymore. Can you tell me which dynasty I'm going to travel through?"

The messenger thought for a moment and said, "I can tell you that the dynasty you are visiting is the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, which began in 567 BC."

"The Eastern Zhou Dynasty was weak, and the world was divided into seven powerful states and several weaker states."

"The place you are going to is called Laizi Country, which is the land of Penglai in later generations. It was annexed and destroyed by Qi State not long ago."

"The King of Qi did not kill all of the royal family of Laizi Kingdom because the current king has no children but only one daughter."

"You no longer pose much of a threat to the State of Qi."

"So, the King of Qi showed extra leniency in order to win people's hearts."

"The Marquis of Donglai is hereby granted the right to retain his royal title and continue to enjoy the privileges of a marquisate through his successive generations."

"And I have granted you the former territory of the Laizi Kingdom as a fiefdom for returning to the city."

"However, the state's title was abolished and incorporated into the territory of Qi, and we must pay taxes and come to the court every year."

"As long as you don't rebel, you can live and prosper together with Qi."

"The person you are wearing is none other than Lai Gonggong's only daughter, Zixuan."

Yang Xuan was so excited that he couldn't help feeling excited. Penglai Island was such a beautiful place!

In my previous life, I went sightseeing and even dressed up as a princess. Hehe, that’s great.

Her heart was already overflowing with joy: "My dear fellow, is this Zixuan also surnamed Yang? Is he called Yang Zixuan?"

The messenger waved his hand and said, "No, no, Zi is the national surname. Your surname is Zi now, not Yang."

Oh, oh, it’s just a surname, it doesn’t matter, Yang Xuan thought with relief in his heart.

"The current capital is called Guicheng. Laizi State is surrounded by the sea on three sides, with Qi State to the southwest and Yan State to the northwest."

"The former territory of the Laizi State was under the jurisdiction of Guicheng, which is located northeast of Qi State."

After the messenger finished speaking, he glanced down again and said: "Okay, let's stop here for now. The city you want to pass through is almost here."

Yang Xuan nodded, and the messenger continued, "The body you've traveled through is currently in a state of death."

"The reason is that your father, the king, suffered a heart attack, and you fainted from excessive grief."

The messenger pointed downwards and said, "We have arrived. Now, your space has been opened and all your wishes have been fulfilled."

"My mission is complete. You can take care of yourself from now on."

After saying that, the messenger suddenly pushed her downwards.

In an instant, Yang Xuan rushed towards a palace below like a cannonball.

Ah! Ah! Ah! Yang Xuan screamed, subconsciously hugging his head, and lost consciousness in an instant.
