Love and choices across time and space

Li Yifeng and Lin Wan'er's discoveries led them to suspect that there was some mysterious bond between Li Yifeng's soul and the Tang Dynasty. This idea took root in their hearts, driving them to delve deeper.

Seeking more evidence to confirm this astonishing hypothesis, they once again immersed themselves in vast historical data. Day and night, Lin Wan'er read through ancient books and documents collected from various sources, and with every turn of the page, she felt as if she were touching the pulse of that distant era.

"Yifeng, take a look at this record," Lin Wan'er said, pointing to a yellowed scroll. "It mentions a mysterious ritual from the Tang Dynasty that was said to connect souls from different times and spaces."

Li Yifeng came over and read the text carefully, his brows furrowed, and he fell into deep thought.

"Could this be the key to my connection with the Tang Dynasty?" he muttered to himself.

At the same time, Li Yifeng also began to pay attention to some of the strange feelings and dreams he had in his daily life. He often felt as if he had traveled back to the streets and alleys of the Tang Dynasty and could truly feel the atmosphere of that era.

One night, Li Yifeng fell into another bizarre dream. In it, he was dressed in Tang Dynasty attire, walking through the bustling streets of Chang'an. People were busy and happy, shouting and laughing. Suddenly, a mysterious voice echoed in his ears: "Your soul belongs here. You are a part of the forgotten."

Li Yifeng woke up suddenly, his clothes soaked with sweat. He told Lin Wan'er about the dream, and a hint of determination flashed in Lin Wan'er's eyes.

"Yifeng, we must find the answer." Lin Wan'er said.

They decided to seek professional help. Through a friend's introduction, they met Professor Zhang Hua, an expert in spiritual studies and history.

After listening to their stories, Professor Zhang Hua showed great interest.

"This situation is indeed rare, but not completely impossible," Professor Zhang Hua said. "The long river of history is full of unknowns and mysteries. Perhaps there really is some kind of soul bond that transcends time and space."

Under the guidance of Professor Zhang Hua, Li Yifeng and Lin Wan'er began a series of soul-searching experiments, attempting to delve deeper into Li Yifeng's subconscious memories and emotions through meditation and hypnosis.

During one hypnosis session, Li Yifeng seemed to be transported back to a Tang Dynasty palace. He saw the ornate decorations, the majestic emperor, and the numerous palace maids and eunuchs. He could even clearly sense his own emotions at the time: a complex mixture of awe and confusion.

When Li Yifeng woke up from the hypnotic state, his face was pale and his body was trembling slightly.

"It's so real, as if I had actually experienced it myself," said Li Yifeng.

Lin Wan'er held his hand tightly, giving him support and comfort.

Based on these experimental results, Professor Zhang Hua proposed a bold hypothesis: "Perhaps Li Yifeng experienced significant events during the Tang Dynasty, which left deep impressions on his soul. These impressions were activated under certain conditions, forming his current dreams and feelings."

To test their hypothesis, they began to collect more folk tales and mystical stories related to the Tang Dynasty. In a remote village, they heard a legend about the reincarnation of the soul.

It is said that during the Tang Dynasty, there was a loyal general who died on the battlefield defending his country. His soul, clinging to the world and fulfilling his unfinished mission, has been wandering through time and space, waiting for the right time to return.

"Could this legend be related to you?" Lin Wan'er asked Li Yifeng.

Li Yifeng shook his head. "I don't know, but I feel an inexplicable sense of familiarity."

As the investigation deepened, they found more and more clues that seemed to point to the close connection between Li Yifeng's soul and the Tang Dynasty. However, most of these clues were vague and lacked conclusive evidence.

By chance, Li Yifeng came across an ancient jade pendant. This jade pendant was exquisitely crafted and engraved with strange symbols and patterns. Experts determined that these symbols and patterns were related to a mysterious religious ritual from the Tang Dynasty.

"Is this a token of trust between me and the Tang Dynasty?" Li Yifeng held the jade pendant, his heart full of doubts.

Lin Wan'er looked at the jade pendant and said, "Perhaps it can help us solve the mystery."

They took the jade pendant to visit a senior archaeologist, who carefully studied it and found a name engraved on the back of the pendant - Li Changfeng.

"This name has never appeared in the history of the Tang Dynasty, but it may be a key clue," said the archaeologist.

Li Yifeng and Lin Wan'er decided to use this name as a starting point for a deeper investigation. They consulted a large amount of household registration information, family genealogies, and even some private collections of manuscripts.

After a long and arduous search, they finally found a record of Li Changfeng in an ancient family genealogy. It turned out that Li Changfeng was a prominent official in the Tang Dynasty, but he was involved in a palace coup and eventually disappeared.

"Could this be my identity in the Tang Dynasty?" Li Yifeng said.

Lin Wan'er thought for a moment and said, "It's possible, but we need more evidence to prove it."

They continued to follow this clue and discovered that before the palace coup, Li Changfeng was in charge of an important national project. This project involved the destiny and future of the Tang Dynasty, but the specific content was obscured by history.

In order to understand the truth about this project, they visited many places and consulted many historians and experts. Finally, they got some important information from a retired professor.

The old professor told them that this project was said to be related to a mysterious power that could influence people's souls and destiny.

"Is this the reason why my soul is bound to the Tang Dynasty?" Li Yifeng asked.

The old professor shook his head. "It's just a legend. There's no solid evidence. But judging by the clues you've provided, I can't rule out this possibility."

Although no conclusive evidence has been found, Li Yifeng and Lin Wan'er are increasingly convinced that there is some kind of profound connection between Li Yifeng's soul and the Tang Dynasty. However, this discovery also brings them more questions and challenges.

During this process, they also encountered some resistance and doubts from the outside world. Some people thought their research was too absurd and disrespectful to history; others tried to stop them from continuing their investigation, fearing that their findings would overturn existing historical understanding.

"We can't give up just because of other people's doubts." Lin Wan'er said to Li Yifeng.

Li Yifeng nodded, "Yes, we must find the truth."

Faced with numerous difficulties, they did not back down. Instead, they strengthened their belief and decided to uncover this thousand-year-old mystery at all costs.

As they continued their investigation, they discovered an ancient manuscript hidden among the people. The owner of the manuscript was a palace maid from the Tang Dynasty. She mentioned Li Changfeng in the manuscript and described some unknown details of his involvement in the palace coup.

"This is a major discovery," said Li Yifeng.

Lin Wan'er said excitedly, "Maybe this can help us recover the truth of what happened back then."

However, the text in the codex was unclear and some parts were missing, requiring considerable time and effort to decipher and restore.

In the process of deciphering the notes, they discovered that Li Changfeng seemed to have mastered a mysterious soul power that allowed him to travel through time and space. However, this power also brought him disaster, making him a victim of a palace coup.

"If this is true, then everything makes sense." Li Yifeng said.

Lin Wan'er said, "But we still need more evidence to confirm it."

They began looking for other evidence related to this soul power. In an ancient temple, they found a stone tablet with some scriptures engraved on it about soul practice and time travel.

"Could this be related to Li Changfeng's soul power?" Lin Wan'er asked.

Li Yifeng carefully studied the scriptures on the stone tablet and said, "It's possible, but we need to find professional religious people to interpret it."

After much inquiry, they found a monk who was well versed in Tang Dynasty religion. After listening to their story, the monk interpreted the scriptures on the stone tablet.

The monk said, “These scriptures do mention a spiritual practice that can transcend time and space, but this method is extremely dangerous and can easily cause the soul to become lost in time and space.”

Li Yifeng asked, "Is it possible that someone has successfully used this method?"

The monk pondered for a moment and said, "Everything is possible, but it requires great opportunity and wisdom."

This answer made Li Yifeng and Lin Wan'er fall into deeper thinking. If Li Changfeng really succeeded in using this method, then Li Yifeng's dream and soul bond could be reasonably explained.

However, just when they thought they were about to uncover the truth, a sudden disaster struck: the important information they had collected was stolen, and their research results were destroyed.

"Who did it?" Lin Wan'er said angrily.

Li Yifeng calmly analyzed: "There must be someone behind this who doesn't want us to uncover this secret."

Despite the setback, they did not give up. With the help of their friends, they started collecting data again and continued their research.

After arduous efforts, they finally found some key evidence that had been missed, which showed that Li Changfeng did not die in the palace coup, but traveled to the future through the power of the soul.

"This is incredible." Lin Wan'er said.

Li Yifeng sighed, "Perhaps this is the truth behind the soul bond between me and Tang Chao."

However, this discovery is just the tip of the iceberg. They still need more research and evidence to completely solve this thousand-year mystery.
