On the thirty-third heaven, if you walk through this path, you can reach the top of the mountain and become an emperor.
A green mountain and a bamboo house.
There is a wooden table in the courtyard, and the bamboo forest is melodious and rustling.
This is the secluded place of Taoist Tongtian, a bamboo hut with a leisurely and elegant atmosphere.
Taoist Tongtian walked forward slowly and saw a palm-sized box on the table, and his thoughts were suddenly drawn back to the past.
Looking at the box, Taoist Tongtian hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and opened the box.
When he saw the contents of the box, Taoist Tongtian's pupils expanded sharply and his expression froze.
Inside the box, there is half an ordinary jade pendant.
The jade pendant has gone through a long period of time, and the lines are a bit rough, and there is also a layer of black spots, which are traces left after the blood dries.
Taoist Tongtian opened his mouth slightly, widened his eyes, and his emotions fluctuated violently.
How could Taoist Tongtian not recognize this jade pendant?
The blood and black spots on the jade pendant were left by Taoist Tongtian.
A long time ago, Taoist Tongtian was a slave of the Li family and made a living. One day, he picked up a jade pendant of good quality and hid it secretly, thinking that he would be able to rely on it after leaving the Li family.
Wear this jade pendant to do some small business.
Unexpectedly, the Li family was robbed, and the jade pendant was found by the housekeeper of the mansion. Taoist Tongtian was severely beaten and was dying. Later, the thief was caught, and the people in the mansion knew that Taoist Tongtian had been wronged, but only the third lady was heartbroken.
Feeling pity, he gave the jade pendant to Taoist Tongtian.
Tongtian Dao's hand slipped and the jade pendant fell to the ground, breaking into two halves.
The third lady promised that Taoist Tongtian would come to her with half a jade pendant in the future, so that she could do Taoist Tongtian a favor.
Soon after, the Li family suffered a disaster, and Taoist Tongtian learned that the third lady had died, and he was sad for a long time. It was not until Taoist Tongtian embarked on the path of spiritual practice that he put aside everything in the past.
"May I have your name?"
That day, the third lady had just returned to the house and took a lot of steamed buns to distribute to the servants and hungry people in the house. She saw Agou who was working hard.
"Agou."
Agou was submissive and very scared.
"Don't you have a last name?"
The third lady took pity on the little boy and gave him an extra bun.
"This little guy was abandoned by his parents when he was young. He makes a living by begging. He has no name. Everyone calls me Agou."
Agou looked at the two steamed buns in his hand and wanted to stuff them into his mouth. However, because the third lady was right in front of him, Agou did not dare to lose his etiquette, otherwise he would definitely be punished by the housekeeper afterwards, so he could only swallow his saliva and forcefully
Endure hunger.
"How long have you been working at the Li family?"
Miss Third asked.
"More than five months."
Agou did not dare to raise his head and look at the third lady, feeling extremely inferior.
"If you think it's appropriate, your surname will be Li from now on, and you will stay in the Li family and work hard."
The third lady spoke, and the people in the mansion immediately registered Agou's name in the book. Many people looked at Agou with envy. As long as Agou didn't seek death in the future, and with the third lady's kindness, life would definitely be easier.
a lot of.
"Ah!" Agou was startled at first, then quickly knelt down on the ground and kowtowed in thanks: "Thank you, Miss Third, for giving me your surname, thank you..."
"Plop, pop..."
Agou didn't know how many times he kowtowed, his forehead was broken and blood flowed out.
The third lady couldn't stop him, so she quickly had people help Agou up: "It doesn't have to be like this, just work hard."
After finishing speaking, the third lady smiled slightly at Agou.
Agou couldn't help it. He raised his head and glanced at the third lady, and was lost in thought for a moment.
The third lady was wearing a long white dress with the tail trailing to the ground. The corners of the dress were embroidered with lifelike peony patterns. Her temples were black and tied with a white silk scarf, and her waist was also tightened with a white belt.
Tall.
Her eyes are clear and transparent, and there is always a gentle smile on the corner of her mouth. No matter who she is dealing with, she is always polite, never bullies her subordinates, and is friendly to others.
Memories of the past are like broken glass being reshaped.
Taoist Tongtian's right hand, which was holding the box, began to tremble slightly.
"It must be an illusion. Don't disturb my Taoist mind."
Taoist Tongtian immediately stabilized his Taoist mind, and a thin layer of sweat broke out on his forehead.
Suppressing his inner emotions, Taoist Tongtian placed the box back on the table, took a deep breath, and continued walking forward.
The last step has been taken, and the road that Tongtian Taoists dream of is right in front of us.
Every time you take a step forward, the dust-laden memories deep in Taoist Tongtian's heart will appear before your eyes, and become extremely clear, and all the details will be restored.
When I was young, the backyard of Li Mansion.
The third lady came with some food and simple clothes, and the slaves lined up to receive them.
"Li Agou, I haven't seen you for a month, why are you so thin?"
The third lady remembered that the last time she saw Agou, there was still some flesh on his face. When we saw him today, Agou looked very haggard.
"I made a mistake a few days ago, so I can only work more to atone for it."
Agou put his hands in front of him, tight enough to turn purple, and whispered.
"You will indeed be punished if you make a mistake, but you must also pay attention to rest." The third lady asked someone to give Ah Gou some more food, and personally selected a suitable piece of clothing for Ah Gou.
Agou was grateful and said frankly that he would never make any mistakes in the future.
"Take off your clothes and put them here. I'll have them mended and then return them to you."
The third lady said to Agou.
Agou's clothes were pitch black and had several big holes in them. He refused at first, but with the insistence of the third lady, he still put the dirty clothes in the basket and put on new clothes.
"Miss Third, you are too partial! Agou is really lucky."
In the crowd, someone whispered.
"How presumptuous! Is this something you can discuss, Miss?"
The maid pointed at everyone and scolded loudly.
The third lady was not angry and whispered softly: "It's okay. If any of you need to mend your clothes, you can leave them here. It's okay."
"Thank you, miss."
Everyone hurriedly bowed and said frankly that being able to serve a master like Miss Third was a blessing earned through three lifetimes of training.
Agou stood in the crowd and engraved the figure of the third lady in his heart. In this life, only the third lady was so kind to him and regarded him as a living person.
The scene changed. It was discovered that Agou had picked up the jade pendant. Logically speaking, he deserved to be beaten to death. Because of the third lady’s words, Agou survived and got a promise from the third lady.
Agou was not afraid of death, but he never expected that the jade pendant he picked up belonged to the third lady.
He felt guilty and felt sorry for the third lady, but he actually wanted to hide the jade pendant. If it hadn't been for the third lady, he might have starved to death.
Then, the Li family was wiped out.
Agou went to the third lady and heard that the third lady did not want to be humiliated and committed suicide.
Agou was hiding in the distance and saw with his own eyes a corpse in the inner hall. Although Agou couldn't see the appearance of the corpse, he could conclude that it was Miss San. Because the clothes the corpse was wearing were Miss San's favorite.
