A Shocking Dream

I packed my bag and embarked on an unknown journey. Along the way, I crossed desolate deserts, climbed steep mountains, and witnessed a variety of different landscapes and people. Once, while traveling through a dense forest, I encountered a sudden downpour. The wind howled, the rain poured down, and I searched everywhere for shelter, but to no avail.

Just as I was feeling hopeless, I discovered an ancient temple hidden deep in the forest. I hurried to the temple and pushed open the door. A mysterious atmosphere filled the air. Inside, ancient statues and artifacts filled the temple, and strange symbols and patterns were carved into the walls. Those symbols seemed to emit a faint glow, as if a mysterious power surged within them.

Curiously, I looked around and suddenly heard a faint sound. It seemed to come from far away, with an ethereal quality. I followed the sound and found an injured old man lying in a corner. A strange light emanated from him, flickering and unpredictable.

I hurried forward, examined his wound, and used the herbs I had brought with me to treat him. The old man looked at me gratefully, his eyes gleaming with wisdom. He slowly spoke, "Child, you are chosen by fate. This world hides many mysterious powers and unknown secrets. You have a special mission: to unravel these mysteries."

As he spoke, the old man extended his hand, and a beam of light emanated from it, merging into my body. I instantly felt a powerful force surge through me. The old man gave me an ancient book containing many mysterious spells and techniques. The book emanated a mysterious light, as if it contained endless wisdom.

During my time in the temple, I began to connect with the mysterious power within me. Whenever I calmed my mind and closed my eyes, I could feel that power flowing through me. It seemed to have its own consciousness, gently responding to my calls.

I whispered, "Who are you? Why are you in my body?" The power seemed to understand my words, trembling slightly, exuding a warm and mysterious feeling. I seemed to hear a distant voice echoing in my mind: "I am an ancient power, waiting to be awakened. You have a pure heart and unwavering faith, so I have chosen you."

I continued to communicate with it, understanding its characteristics and abilities. I discovered that this mysterious power could enhance my perception, allowing me to detect dangers and opportunities around me. It could also help me perform magical spells, such as healing wounds and controlling the elements.

As my communication with the mysterious power deepened, I gained a clearer understanding of my mission. I knew I must use this power to explore the mysteries of this world and bring hope and light to people.

When the rain stopped and the sky cleared, I said goodbye to the old man and continued my journey. This adventure has strengthened my faith. I believe that in this unknown world, there are still more wonderful things waiting for me to discover. And I will also carry this mysterious power and mission to explore the mysteries of this world.

I traveled through the other five kingdoms, each boasting a stronger military and richer resources than Yun. Walking through these lands, I felt a surge of emotion. Gazing at the bustling streets and mighty armies, I felt even more deeply the hardships and difficulties of Yun.

I followed the TV show's lead and kept my mechanical skills to myself. In this strange and complex ancient world, I knew revealing my special talents would only lead to countless troubles. I practiced medicine out of necessity, saving lives and earning the meager but essential salary I needed to survive. Whenever I saw those suffering from illness gradually recover under my care, a sense of comfort welled up in my heart.

I stay out of the tangles of right and wrong, and I refrain from excessive talk. In this world rife with conflict, I tread cautiously, fearing to be drawn into any quarrel. Just like my name, Wu Nian, I should be free from desire and thought. I do not wish to be bound by fame, wealth, or the entanglement of emotions. I simply want to quietly walk through every place, observing the world, seeking my own quiet peace.

During my travels, I met many people: kindhearted commoners and greedy dignitaries; brave warriors and cowardly cowards. I witnessed their joys and sorrows, felt their various aspects of life. Yet, I remained calm, unperturbed by the outside world.

I don’t know where my journey will lead, nor what I will encounter in the future. But I know that as long as I hold on to my beliefs and maintain a state of mind without thoughts, I will definitely find my way home in this world.

During my long journey through the Five Kingdoms, there weren't many special moments that I'll remember for a long time. However, one general from the Snow Kingdom has left a lasting impression on me. Her name was Lin Bingshuang, a pre-teen girl who had spent her entire life in a military camp surrounded by men.

When I first saw her, I was taken aback. She was tall and sturdy, more than half a head taller than most of the girls here. Her broad shoulders and powerful limbs seemed to embody boundless strength. She wore heavy armor, the scratches on it telling of countless battles she had fought. Her hair was tied tightly, revealing a chiseled face.

Her eyes revealed a resoluteness and determination that seemed to penetrate a person's heart, sending a shiver down my spine. Her eyes were deep and luminous, like stars in a cold night, gleaming with an unyielding light. Her eyebrows were thick and slightly raised, lending her a commanding presence. Her nose was high, her lips were tightly pursed, and the lines of her face were strong and resolute.

More than that, there was her ugliness. I racked my brains at the time, but I couldn't come up with the right words to describe her appearance. It was simply that she was ugly. Her skin was dark and rough, the result of constant exposure to the wind and sun. Her face was covered with scars of all sizes, even burns, the marks of war. Her features were disproportionate: her eyes were too large, her nose was too straight, and her mouth seemed a bit too wide. Yet, these imperfections combined to create a unique and unforgettable image.

Yet, she was a formidable warrior. Wielding a spear, she wielded the battlefield with unparalleled grace. The spear seemed to come alive in her hand, wielding it with unstoppable force. Her strategic tactics rivaled those of men, and every battle showcased her wisdom and courage. Calm and composed, she excelled at analyzing situations, always making the right decisions at crucial moments. It was rumored that she was also renowned in several other kingdoms, her name a source of fear.
