Journey to the East Chapter 1: Is the Mandate of Heaven?

Chapter 1                                                                                                                              

Cangshan is a very famous place.

It is one of the four famous mountains recognized by the world. It echoes the Jiuyi Mountain in Shenzhou, and contrasts with the Bulao Mountain in Youzhou and the Yinwu Mountain in Jiangzhou.

Before Master Yuan Tian preached in Jiuyi, Cangshan was recorded in history and was always the most well-deserved mountain in the world.

For example, the roster of the first mountain that went down the first mountain was taken away by Jiuji, but Cangshan's name is still very famous. The famous No. 1 Pass of Dazhao, the famous No. 1 Pass, exists entirely based on Cangshan. It can even be said that without Cangshan, there would be no Pass of Sishui. In order to resist the "great cause" of the rebels outside the pass, Cangshan should at least share half of the contribution to Sishui.

Xu Sheng and the old blind man walked through the dense forests of the coniferous mountains. The distance was getting closer and closer to Cangshan Mountain, and the mountain roads became more and more rugged. There were even many places where there was no road at all, so they had to rely on people to help. There was no need to say much about the hard work.

What puzzled Xu Sheng deeply was that the old blind man was clearly blind and had white pupils, but he could easily identify mountains, stones, forests and trees; he clearly had the ability to fly and escape from the sky, so he had to walk and climb.

The old blind man kept urging: Faster, faster; but no matter how fast, can he pass through the sky? Xu Sheng felt from the bottom of his heart that the old blind man was causing trouble for him. There were obviously official roads in some places, but the old blind man wanted to avoid them; there were people gathered in some places, and Xu Sheng brought money, and the old blind man insisted on letting him hunt and pick them in the mountains.

In this way, how could the itinerary be fast?

Since ancient times, chaos has opened up the world,

The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors have reached this point.

How many palaces have turned into decay?

How many beautiful girls are dusty?

Time flies in the blink of an eye,

Dynasty changes every once in a while.

How many things are going on in the future?

They all laughed at me.

Sometimes, when the old blind man is tired of walking, he always holds his erhu and sings endlessly when he sits down and rests.

The old blind man's lyrics are really strange. They are not like those who are in the world. They tell some legends of gods and ghosts, and have different stories in the market. They prefer to use the past to describe the present and express their lament. In his singing style, there is no specific story, but more of emotion and truth, permeating the wisdom and freedom of seeing through the world.

Unexpectedly, Xu Sheng actually loved to listen to it very much. He always felt that the old blind man's lyrics had a unique charm and something indescribable. After listening to it for a long time, he vaguely felt something deep in his heart and soul, and was about to burst out.

"Is it really me who is destined to be the one who is destined?"

Xu Sheng was quite suspicious. If someone had told him before that he was a "destined person" and a pride chosen by God, he would definitely not believe it, and 80% would have felt that the man was in a daze and confused.

But now, after many mysterious things that were beyond his cognition happened, he was shaken, he began to doubt himself, and became afraid of himself from the bottom of his heart.

He felt a little unaware of himself. He looked up and down and felt stranger the more he looked at him. He always felt that there was a terrifying essence hidden under the mediocre appearance.

Blood light, meteorites, tombstones, weirdos, Taoists, old blind men, "the law of all responses", "dark forest", and so many strange things, I am afraid that only "people with destiny" can afford it.

Xu Sheng's thoughts flew, trying hard to recall the past, and scenes of the past returned to his "seeing" and he focused on "looking".

It seemed that there was no difference, everything was dull. Before the "blood meteorite" fell to the ground, he was just an extremely ordinary farmer boy.

"wrong!"

Xu Sheng suddenly woke up and the memories came to an abrupt end. A piece of his memory was missing.

To be precise, it is a long paragraph, or even half. He has no memory before he was ten years old!

horrible!

Xu Sheng's heart suddenly tightened and his back became cold. He vaguely remembered that his parents had told him that when he was in his teens, he had fallen from a cliff and injured his head.

Is it because of injury that I lost my memory?

He might have believed it in the past, but now hesitated.

He touched his head. What kind of injury does not leave any scars and erase a person's memory for ten years out of thin air? For a ten-year-old child, if he falls from a high place and hits his head, isn't the probability of death far better than amnesia?

Xu Sheng's thoughts flew, and gradually he became deeper and deeper, and he was sweating heavily.

He thought of his parents' bizarre death. According to the approval of the government at that time, the old couple was robbed of money and killed by robbery. But Xu Sheng knew that his parents were not the kind of person who wanted money but not life? Besides, the territory of Zhongzhou was not a painful place like Guandong, so how could he meet robbers on the official road? And... Xu Sheng thought of his brother's sudden change in temperament.

“Why?”

Xu Sheng asked himself and slapped his head. It turned out that it was not after the arrival of the blood-light meteorite, but before, earlier, the strangeness had happened to him. But he had been stupid and did not notice it at all.

Now, thinking deeply, Xu Sheng was so nervous that he was both heartbroken and his mind was shocked.

"Am I still me? Who am I?" Xu Sheng whispered, feeling uncontrollable.

"Clang!"

The erhu sound stopped, and the old blind man stopped singing. He looked at Xu Sheng with his two empty eyes without any hesitation.

"What did you say just now?"

"Who am I?" Xu Sheng returned to Shen'er.

"Man of Destiny"

"What else? Do I have no other identity?"

"There must be some, and there are never only one identity in the world."

"Then what is my remaining identity?" Xu Sheng was sad.

"I will always know in the future." The old blind man said softly, then put away his erhu, sat cross-legged, and closed his eyes.

......

Time passes, and it's dark in a flash.

"Why did you think I am a destiny?" After a long time of silence, Xu Sheng asked again.

"Because I believe there will be a destiny man, and you happen to be able to awaken the tombstone that only destiny man can awaken."

"Wake up! Is the tombstone sleeping?"

"No, it should be said that the thing behind the tombstone is sleeping." The old blind man said with certainty.

"What's behind the tombstone?" Xu Sheng couldn't help but be shocked and asked tentatively.

"I don't know," the old blind man paused, and then said: "It is said that it is something that can change the world."

"Oh," Xu Sheng responded, paused for a few breaths, and spoke softly: "But, the monster in the Xu family said that I am just a fake, not a real destiny."

"Perhaps, it is not ruled out that such a possibility is said that a destiny of heaven will be accompanied by a false son to confuse the secrets of heaven."

"If I'm just a fake, then won't your thoughts be wasted? If I'm not a destiny, all your efforts will be wasted." Xu Sheng said slowly, his eyes staring at the old blind man. He wanted to know what the old blind man would answer.

"I have no choice," the old blind man sighed: "Oh! My life is not long and I can't wait anymore. Whether it is true or false, it's only you. Moreover, the fake is born to cover up the Fazi. I helped you, making people mistakenly think that you are the real destiny. For Fazi, it can also help him divert his attention and help him grow."

"You are really considerate!" Xu Sheng looked away from the old blind man and said softly: "Is the destiny man that important?"

"Yes!" The old blind man nodded and said slowly: "The destiny is the only hope."

"Hope?" Xu Sheng was puzzled, "What kind of hope? Or, what are you expecting?"

The old blind man did not answer when he heard Xu Sheng's words. He stood up slowly and looked at Yuantian with his empty eyes. After a long time, he said: "Change"

"Change!"

Xu Sheng repeated it, but although he didn't understand the meaning, he did not ask any further questions.

He had a premonition that the old blind man would not give him a satisfactory answer; or that the old blind man himself had no answer, and everything in the end could only be revealed by him.

"Make a fire." The old blind man had no idea of ​​talking anymore and sat down. He pulled out the erhu again, but did not play it. Instead, he stroked it seriously, as if he was recalling and thinking about it.

......

"Crack!"

The dry firewood burned, making a sound of restlessness, and the tongue of fire was beating, and the light was unstable. The old blind man and Xu Sheng each had their own thoughts and did not speak to each other.

"Dong!Dong!Dong!"

A knocking sound suddenly sounded in the empty and silent mountains and forests. The sound, coupled with the heavy night at this moment, seemed particularly deep.

"You stand behind me."

The old blind man pulled out the strings and said in a deep voice, with a serious face.
