Chapter 2: Mysterious Ancient Tree

It's white light.

Incredibly blazing white light.

Pieces of memory fragments were reorganized in my mind.

This is the scene before I traveled through time.

As a large number of memories are reorganized, the pain is desperate, but eventually all the memories return.

When his memory was restored, a huge sacred tree appeared in his mind.

This tree stood tall in my mind, with its branches spread out and surrounded by divine light. It had nine branches and looked extremely mysterious.

Contains unparalleled energy.

And every branch is condensed with a ball of light, as if it is pregnant with something.

Gu Jinnian completely remembered everything that happened before the time travel.

In Wenxin's study.

The original person did have a dispute with the daughter of the Minister of Rites, but the reason for the dispute was because these people made rude remarks.

Later, the original person did say some unpleasant words, but the latter pushed the original person into the lake.

Just then, the scene of a white rainbow penetrating the sun appeared across the sky, and finally disappeared, falling into the lake.

This beam of light did not enter his own body, causing him to become seriously ill and unable to survive.

Although the guards in the academy rescued the original body immediately, no one would know that something had entered the body.

The trees are towering into the sky, the universe is evolving, and the divine light surrounds it, making it extraordinary.

Gu Jinnian's consciousness came back little by little. After he fully woke up, Gu Jinnian showed doubts.

He looked at the mysterious ancient tree in his mind, full of curiosity.

He didn't understand what this was.

This is strange.

"The reason why the original body became seriously ill and died was because of this tree. If I travel through time, will it affect me?"

This is Gu Jinnian's doubt.

He didn't know what the tree was, whether it was good or bad, he didn't know at all.

The only thing that is known is that the reason why the original body died was because of this tree.

But Gu Jinnian didn't know the specific reason.

"Uncle Liu seems to know something, so he turned around to find out more, but be careful not to be discovered."

Gu Jinnian thought to himself that he couldn't analyze anything, so he could only ask Uncle Six.

Thinking of this, Gu Jinnian slowly exited his mind and only needed to disperse his mental energy.

Soon, a heavy feeling of falling hit me.

Suddenly.

Gu Jinnian woke up.

A familiar voice also sounded in my ears.

"Nian'er, don't scare mother."

"If something happens to you, my mother will die."

Cries sounded.

Gu Jinnian slowly opened his eyes.

What comes into view is a beautiful woman, elegant and noble, wearing a Yunxian hairpin and a string of pearls hanging around her neck, which embodies a sense of luxury.

This is my mother, Li Wanjing.

Princess Ningyue of Daxia is the biological sister of the current Holy Emperor. Although she is not the eldest princess, she was deeply loved by Taizu.

At this moment, Mrs. Li's face was full of pear blossoms, and her eyes were full of pain.

But when Gu Jinnian woke up, the discomfort in his eyes instantly turned into surprise.

"Nian'er, you're awake."

"Nian'er, you scared my mother to death."

He was still crying, but his tone was full of surprise.

And with Li's voice, the room suddenly became lively.

"Mom, what's going on?"

"Where's Uncle Six?"

Gu Jinnian's mind was still a little groggy. He exerted a little effort, sat up a little, looked at the room full of people, and finally looked at his mother, his eyes full of curiosity.

inside the house.

In addition to my mother, Mrs. Li, my third uncle, some domestic servants and the palace doctor were also there.

Not waiting for Li's answer.

The third uncle's voice sounded.

"Mr. Xu, please go and see how Jinnian is doing?"

As Uncle San's voice sounded, Mrs. Li immediately stood up and asked the imperial doctor to come for diagnosis.

After checking his pulse for a moment, Dr. Xu looked uncertain.

This made Mrs. Li on the side a little anxious.

After the diagnosis, Li's voice sounded.

"Mr. Xu, how is my son?"

"Back to the princess, the prince is not seriously ill. On the contrary, he is full of energy. I think it is because he has taken too many supplements recently, which has caused physical discomfort."

"During this period, the prince just needs to train his muscles and bones diligently and release the yang energy in his body, and then he will be fine."

Doctor Xu opened his mouth and gave a diagnostic plan.

But when he said this, everyone was a little surprised. After all, no one thought that Gu Jinnian fainted for no reason because he took too many supplements.

This is a bit embarrassing.

On the bed, Gu Jinnian gradually returned to normal. He still had doubts and wanted to ask his sixth uncle, so he looked at his mother and said.

"mother."

"I'm fine. Where is Uncle Six?"

Gu Jinnian asked curiously.

Upon hearing this, the third uncle's voice couldn't help but sound angry.

"Your sixth uncle is being hung from a tree and beaten by the old man."

"This guy didn't even try to revive him when he came back. He went straight back home and gave you a headache. The old man said that he won't let him go until a layer of his skin is removed today."

The third uncle replied.

Gu Jinnian was a little confused.

Why do you keep getting whipped?

But he came back to his senses immediately!

The rules of the Gu family are like this. Don't look at the Gu family. Everyone in the Gu family is like a dragon. Whether it's your father, your second uncle, or your third uncle, if you do something wrong, you'll be whipped, and the whipping will be very severe, and you'll be hung directly on the tree in front of the Duke's mansion.

Down.

The servants could see clearly, and sometimes the beatings were more severe, and people outside could hear the screams.

This is also the Gu family’s unique way of discipline.

"Nian'er, it's okay. Don't worry about your Uncle Six. He's very thick-skinned. It doesn't matter if he gets a spanking."

"What do you want to eat now? Mom will make it for you."

Ms. Li at the bedside spoke up and looked at Gu Jinnian with a distressed expression, not caring about Uncle Six's life or death at all.

"Mom, no need, I'm really fine."

"This has nothing to do with Uncle Six."

"I have to go find Grandpa and explain it clearly."

Gu Jinnian was still curious about what was going on in his mind. If he didn't stop the old man, his sixth uncle would probably be knocked unconscious.

Thinking of this, Gu Jinnian couldn't help but get up and wanted to find the old man.

But at this moment, a voice of displeasure could not help but sound.

"How long has it been, and I still want to play with your sixth uncle."

"Look at those of your peers, aren't they well-educated and polite? You are just like a wild child, just playing around every day."

"Let me tell you, after your injury is healed, you will go to study tomorrow. If you don't get into Daxia Academy next month, don't you think I'll beat you to death?"

An unhappy voice sounded.

The door was pushed open, and the next moment a middle-aged man pushed in.

The man has a heroic appearance. Although he is about forty years old, there is a "power" between his eyebrows. Only those who are in high positions can gather power.

This is Gu Jinnian's father, Gu Qianzhou, the Marquis of Linyang in Daxia.

Facing this father, Gu Jinnian felt an instinctive fear in his heart.

Although he is an only son and is loved by his family, he will still feel fear when facing his father.

In addition, although the clan pampers him, it does not mean that he can be lawless. If he really does something he shouldn't do, he will be punished.

However, Li's voice immediately sounded.

"What's the test?"

"Nian'er has just recovered from a serious illness, and you want him to go to school again?"

"You are willing to give up, but I am not. If not, I will take Nian'er to live in the palace. I will be annoyed when I see you. You are not caring about your son all day long. Are you still a father? I am really blind to marry you.

.”

"I have been with you for so many years, and I have suffered so many years of grievance. I have not said a word, and now I am letting my son suffer. Gu Qianzhou, listen to me. If you scare my son again, I will leave now. I

I don’t believe that I can’t live without you.”

"Nian'er, let's go. Mom will take you to the palace. If anything happens, your uncle will support you."

The more Li talked, the more excited she became. She had a fiery personality and regarded Gu Jinnian as her heartache. She felt very distressed when she saw Gu Jinnian suffering from serious and minor illnesses during this period. Now when she heard Gu Qianzhou say such words, she suddenly became angry.

He immediately took Gu Jinnian to the palace.

Now, the situation was a little awkward.

Especially Gu Qianzhou, it is true that he is the Marquis of Linyang, but in terms of status, he is not as good as Gu Jinnian's mother, Li Wanjing.

Your majestic princess is the biological sister of the current Holy Emperor. If you really dare to let her be wronged, the Gu family can't stand it.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, don't be angry."

"Jin Nian has just recovered. He can't move around anymore. He can't walk around anymore."

"My eldest brother is a fool, so don't pay attention to him."

The third uncle on the side quickly persuaded, and at the same time looked at his eldest brother, his eyes were also somewhat unhappy.

"Brother, it's not the third brother who is talking about you."

"A dragon begets a dragon, a phoenix begets a phoenix, our whole family is full of warriors, why do you insist on letting Jinnian study?"

"Besides, when you were studying, you were not as good as Jin Nian. Oh, you can't do it yourself, but you have to let your children and grandchildren do it?"

"Are you too selfish?"

"The old man has already said that if Jinnian really can't read well, then forget it. Our Gu family doesn't lack a scholar."

"As for that?"

The third uncle was a little angry.

Although the Gu family is extremely powerful, it is true that they have never produced any scholars, which does not mean that they cannot read a single person.

The main reason is that they simply don’t have any cultural blood. It’s okay for them to practice martial arts and fight, but it’s like killing them to study.

They themselves had experienced this pain back then, and naturally they did not want the third generation to experience the same pain.

Although the hope is that the Gu family can produce a Qilin son, the problem is that it cannot be forced.

Oh, you won’t force yourself to learn?

Then why don't you study?

Don’t you know how to lead by example?

inside the house.

Gu Qianzhou was a little confused.

He came in just to maintain his father's strictness, and he was reluctant to let Gu Jinnian suffer.

But he also knew that a loving mother often loses her son, so she came to beat Gu Jinnian.

But he didn't expect that his wife would explode directly.

What's even more shocking is that his third brother actually scolded him too?

In an instant, Gu Qianzhou became angry.

Good guy, I'm not your son, is I? He's just pampered? If he's spoiled, it's none of your business, right?

I have to show off my Gu Qianzhou family status today.

"Nonsense."

"Really, a loving mother often loses her son."

"I have been too accommodating to you these past years, which made Jinnian become such a dandy."

"Do you know what people say about our Gu family these days?"

"Jin Nian molested the daughter of the Minister of Rites, and the whole town was full of rumors. He did this at such a young age, saying that I didn't teach him well."

"If Jinnian hadn't been seriously ill, would this matter have been so good?"

"Let him go to school to make him understand the truth. Are you happy if the third generation of the Gu family has a playboy?"

Gu Qianzhou cursed loudly.

This incident really caused a lot of controversy. After all, Daxia governed the country with Confucianism and a gentleman's demeanor.

Now the whole Kyoto is talking about this matter.

The general content is that at a young age, Gu Jinnian was just like a gangster, making foul remarks and molesting the daughter of the Minister of Etiquette.

In a sense, this is no small matter.

Three years old means eighty.

If you are given such a bad reputation at a young age, it will be difficult to wash it off in the future.

Especially since Gu Jinnian has such a strong family background, it is easy for him to attract rumors.

Fortunately, Gu Jinnian suffered a serious injury, otherwise, the Ministry of Rites and those great scholars would definitely not be freeloaders.

There is no conflict between civil and military affairs, and there are quarrels in the court every day. If something like this happens, if you are not careful, it may cause a lot of trouble.

That's the thing about being in a high position, every move you make can cause trouble.

Unexpectedly, this family would act as if nothing was wrong.

How does this not make him angry?

At this moment, Gu Qianzhou stood on the moral high ground and scolded everyone in the room.

This made Gu Jinnian feel a little depressed.

He didn't say he didn't want to study, so why did he become a street gangster?

However, there was one key point that Gu Jinnian grasped keenly.

The daughter of the Minister of Rites is spreading rumors outside.

Because he had already remembered all the ins and outs of the whole thing.

There are quarrels.

But the cause was really not him. It was the daughter of the Minister of Rites who was causing trouble for him. After a quarrel, he said some unpleasant words.

It's not teasing, it's just some curse words between children.

It seems like this, the daughter of the Minister of Rites, framed herself to avoid responsibility.

Good guy, really a good guy.

"Dad, I understand. The child will go to school tomorrow."

"Mom, please don't quarrel with dad. After this incident, the child has learned a lot."

"But dad, the kid has already remembered that I didn't tease him verbally, it was just a little verbal quarrel. They couldn't talk to me, so they pushed me into the water."

Gu Jinnian spoke to stop the two from arguing.

He could see that his mother had a hot temper, and if he didn't say a few words, the quarrel would probably get worse.

Also make things clear.

When he said this, everyone was a little surprised.

Neither Gu Qianzhou nor Li, nor his third uncle, nor even the Gu family's servants expected that Gu Jinnian would be so obedient?

Moreover, this matter is not just a rumor from outside?

"You didn't tease me verbally?"

"Okay, this Yang Kai who has killed a thousand swords actually dares to spread rumors?"

In an instant, Mrs. Li's whole body exploded and she was a little angry.

Her son almost died and was unfairly wronged. How could this make her calm?

But after Linyang Hou heard this, he couldn't help frowning and looked at Gu Jinnian.

"You mean you didn't tease me first?"

he asked.

"Well, I didn't tease them."

Gu Jinnian nodded seriously.

He will not accept this injustice.

But after saying this, Mrs. Li became even more angry.

"Gu Qianzhou, why don't you hurry up and send someone to arrest Yang Kai? This guy is simply not a son of a man, a great scholar, and he actually confuses right and wrong."

Li's face turned pale with anger, and flames almost appeared in his eyes.

"Don't mess around."

"No one can tell exactly what this matter is. I certainly believe that Nian'er will not be like this."

"But Nian'er is naughty by nature. Who doesn't know about it in Kyoto? Yang Kai is the Minister of Rites, and his granddaughter is famous for being well-behaved. There is no evidence and I can't argue with you."

"But I will investigate this matter clearly."

"Jinnian, I ask you seriously, have you lied? You must not lie intentionally because you are afraid of being punished."

Marquis Linyang also had a headache.

He definitely believed in his son, but the problem was that more than half a month had passed before Gu Jinnian remembered it.

Everyone is already talking about gold, and Gu Jinnian himself is stubborn and has serious preconceptions.

Without evidence, what if you are really wronged?

You can't speak to others.

There's no point in making a fuss. People just insist that it was your son who molested him first. What can you do?

"Dad, I really didn't lie."

Gu Jinnian understands his father's difficulties, but this is the fact.

"Okay, my father will investigate this matter carefully. You don't have to worry about other things. Just study hard."

"But don't worry, if the other party is really confusing right and wrong, not to mention that he is the Minister of Rites, even if he is a high-ranking official, my father will not let him go."

"But if the investigation turns out that you are at fault, even if the old man comes, I will hang you under a tree and beat you for three days and three nights. Do you understand?"

Gu Qianzhou's voice was serious.

He naturally hoped that his son would not do such a thing.

But I'm also worried that Gu Jinnian didn't dare to admit his mistakes because he was afraid of being punished. Then the misunderstanding will become bigger and bigger. Now it's the Gu family who is in charge. After all, he almost died.

But if the quarrel continues and it turns out that it was Gu Jinnian who made the rude remarks, it will be troublesome. Not only will it be embarrassing, but it will also be ignored.

"Why smoke for three days and three nights? Are you crazy? Your own son doesn't believe it, so you have to believe what outsiders say."

"Gu Qianzhou, you are also a person who has been stabbed a thousand times, so you know how to bully us orphans and widows."

"I will take Jinnian to the palace right now, and I will ask my brother to administer justice."

After hearing what Gu Qianzhou said, Li became furious.

When Gu Jinnian saw something was wrong, he turned around and left to find his sixth uncle.
