Chapter 219: The Lady of the Yang Family (23)

The clouds are misty and the mountains and forests are dense.

To the south is the entrance to the underworld, the eight hundred miles of Yellow Springs covered with yellow sand.

Looking to the north, you can see a vast river between heaven and earth, winding like a dragon, descending from the distant clouds, flowing south along the canyon, stretching endlessly and disappearing at the end of the mountain.

Finally walked out of the underworld.

Su Mingzhe said with emotion:

"This river is clear, and I don't know what it's called."

"This is Tongtian River!"

Yang Guifei suddenly spoke, startling Su Mingzhe:
"Tongtian River? Isn't this the main universe of Soul Ferry? How did it end up in Journey to the West?"

Fortunately, Yang Guifei continued to explain, which relieved Su Mingzhe's tension: "Tongtian River is located in Shu. When I was a child, I walked along this river with my parents."

Su Mingzhe was really scared by his own woman.

If I really went to the world of "Journey to the West", thinking about the demons and monsters running rampant there, I might as well go back to the underworld and live in seclusion.

At least, you can stay in the underworld without worries.

Yang Guifei said again: "Sir, if we go downstream along this river, we will soon reach Jinguan City."

"Then let's go to Jinguan City first."

Although Su Mingzhe and Yang Guifei had practiced the Secret of Yin-Yang Inner Alchemy to the great perfection, they had only accumulated sufficient magical power and did not understand anything about the magic they were using.

The two were in a hurry on their way, and could neither ride on the clouds nor fly in the air.

The two of them had no choice but to build a large bamboo raft.

Su Mingzhe put the bamboo raft into the river, supported it with a bamboo pole, and carried Yang Guifei, and the two of them drifted downstream.

Three days later.

Outside Jinguan City, after the two men learned about the current situation, they looked at each other in surprise.

Yang Guifei was even more amused:
"Sir, it is still the Kaihuang period. My grandfather was not even born at this time, and there is no Yang family in Shu."

"Then are we still going to visit the ancestors of the Yang family?"

"Go and have a look."

Yang Guifei had been an elf in the painting for more than a thousand years, and had longed for her family to the point of illness.

My parents are not born yet, but it would be good to have the opportunity to go back to my hometown to visit my relatives.

The surname Yang was the national surname in the Sui Dynasty.

Yang Yuhuan's great-grandfather, Yang Lingben, had already been born.

The current patriarch of the Yang family is Yang Lingben’s father, Yang Wang, who lives in Hedong (east of the Yellow River), which was later known as Jinyang.

Yang Wang was a member of the royal family of the Sui Dynasty. He had a successful career in the dynasty and was later granted the title of Shangzhuguo, Duke of Dai, and rose to the position of Minister of Personnel.

Of course, these things happened during the reign of Emperor Yang of Sui.

Now Yang Wang is only the governor of a state.

Su Mingzhe accompanied Yang Guifei along the waterway to Jingzhou, then headed north through Longmen Gorge and all the way to the Yang family in Hedong.

The Yang family at this time is not the same as the Yang family in the future.

Accompanied by a man, Yang Guifei just looked from afar for a few seconds, and after a few days, she quietly left, not daring to disturb her great-grandfather's family at all.

He was afraid that if he was not careful, it would affect history and his grandfather would not be born, and his father would also not be born.

Without my father, I would not have been born.

This feeling was very strange, but Yang Guifei really didn't dare to disturb him for fear of affecting history.

"Yu Nu, since you don't want to disturb them, why don't we find a place to continue living in seclusion."

Su Mingzhe yearns for ancient life very much, but what he yearns for is a prosperous era, not a chaotic era.

It is now the Kaihuang period, and Emperor Wen of Sui is about to die.

After Emperor Yang of Sui ascended the throne, he threw the world into chaos.

If this world was not a world of cultivating immortals, but "The Legend of the Two Heroes of the Tang Dynasty".

Su Mingzhe will definitely rebel and satisfy his desire to be an emperor.

However, Yang Guifei had already reminded Su Mingzhe that as a human king, he could not practice cultivation.

This is the law of nature.

Su Mingzhe was not very courageous and did not dare to commit the crime against the wind.

So, after much thought, Su Mingzhe decided to find a place to live in seclusion.

Yang Guifei hesitated:
"Sir, where shall we find a place to live in seclusion?"

"I know a place that has not been disturbed by war for thousands of years."

Su Mingzhe was not lying, he really knew a place.

In the third season of "Soul Ferry", there is a unit called "The Curse of the Weaver Girl".

The Weaver Girl Village has been secluded from the world for thousands of years without being disturbed.

Later, there was a drought. By chance, a weaver girl fell from the Kunlun fairyland and prayed for rain for them, which brought them a good harvest.

The villagers of this small mountain village were not only ungrateful for the contribution that the Weaver Girl had made for them, but in order to obtain the Weaver Girl's divine power for a long time, they built the Tianmen Array Maze, trapped the Weaver Girl and prevented her from returning to heaven.

In order to make the Weaver Girl willingly help the mountain village, these villagers raped her and forced her to give birth to their child.

Su Mingzhe and Yang Guifei wanted to find a place to live in seclusion, and this mountain village was indeed a good place.

More importantly, Su Mingzhe wanted to rescue the Weaver Girl.

Wang Xiaoya once told himself a story about a rebellion that occurred in the Kunlun fairyland during the Sui Dynasty on earth.

Many celestial beings were affected.

It was probably at this time that the Weaver Girl fell into the human world.

According to unofficial historical records, in the first year of Daye, when Emperor Yang of Sui ascended the throne, blood rain fell from the sky, covering the Qin territory for hundreds of miles, and all clothes and shoes were turned red.

If this unofficial history corresponds to the story told by Wang Xiaoya, then the Weaver Girl's fall to the human world should have happened a few years later.

Su Mingzhe and Yang Guifei immediately rushed towards the Weaver Girl Village in future generations.

The Weaver Girl Village in later generations is near the Penglai Fairy Island.

The straight-line distance from Hedong to Penglai Island is about two thousand miles, and there are Taihang Mountains and rivers along the way.

It took Su Mingzhe and Yang Guifei almost a month to finally arrive at the destination.

But when they arrived, they found that the place was barren and desolate, with no trace of human habitation. Yang Guifei and the man took a map from later times and ran back and forth over a dozen hilltops, comparing them more than a dozen times, but did not find a single identical place:

"Sir, the mountains, hills, and river directions here do not match the maps of later generations at all."

"Over a thousand years, something must have changed."

Su Mingzhe didn't expect that after running around for more than a month, they still couldn't find the right place.

Yang Guifei was a little confused and asked the man:

"So what do we do now? Do we continue looking for a place?"

Su Mingzhe shook his head:

"We're not leaving. We were originally looking for a place to live in seclusion. This place is deserted and uninhabited, which is just right for us to live in seclusion."

As for not being able to save the Weaver Girl, Su Mingzhe could only apologize.

After all, this world is too big. Su Mingzhe doesn’t know when the Weaver Girl fell to the mortal world, let alone where she fell. Even if he wants to save her, he can’t find her.

It would be better to just sit here and wait for something to happen. Who knows, the Weaver Girl might happen to fall nearby.

Just do it.

Although Su Mingzhe and Yang Guifei do not know any magic, they are undoubtedly very powerful.

Su Mingzhe mixed the mud and fired the bricks, while Yang Guifei selected the site and prepared the foundation.

one year later.

Ten houses appeared on the mountainside.

Hundreds of acres of wheat fields were cultivated at the foot of the mountain.

The two of them really lived in seclusion.

In order to express his determination to live in seclusion and cultivate to become an immortal, Su Mingzhe named the hill where he lived "Qingniu Mountain".

Didn’t Laojun ride a green ox, go west through Hangu Pass, and convert the Hu people into Buddhas?

Su Mingzhe named the place where he lived "Qingniu Mountain" in the hope that one day he could transform himself into an immortal here.

In the following days, Su Mingzhe and Yang Guifei lived a relatively simple life.

Plant in spring, harvest in autumn, nurture in summer, and store in winter.

When they felt bored, the two of them would go to the cities in the human world to seek for the way and visit immortals, and learn some Taoist skills.

In this way, more than 20 years passed in a flash.

Su Mingzhe and Yang Guifei still failed to break through the bottleneck, but after searching for immortals and visiting Taoist priests, they comprehended many magic spells.

For example, riding on the clouds.

Now that the two of them are on the road, it is no problem for them to travel three thousand miles a day.

It can be regarded as a preliminary achievement of the realm of 'traveling to Beihai in the morning and Cangwu in the evening'.

At this time, Li Shimin had already ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor.

Su Mingzhe took Yang Guifei to Chang'an City.

Chang'an has beautiful scenery and a large population.

When the two were touring Chang'an City, Su Mingzhe made a special trip to see the empress Wu Zetian of later generations.

In the early years of Zhenguan period, the empress was still a little girl of three or four years old. Her name was not Wu Meiniang. The name Meiniang was given to her by Li Shimin.

Now the Wu family calls the empress "Hua Gu" or "Little Lady".

Su Mingzhe and Yang Guifei stayed and played near Chang'an City for several months.

The empress's father, Wu Shigui, was demoted to Jingzhou, and the Wu family was exiled.

Before winter came, Su Mingzhe took Yang Guifei back to Qingniu Mountain.

The world outside is wonderful, but the most comfortable thing is to live in your own home.

In a flash, another ninety years have passed.

After the rule of three emperors, Taizong, Gaozong and Wu Zetian, the Tang Dynasty had become increasingly prosperous, and a prosperous era with all nations coming to pay tribute finally emerged.

Su Mingzhe has not been idle in these years.

In nearly a hundred years.

Su Mingzhe visited more than sixty immortal cultivation sects, and either exchanged or learned secretly, accumulating nearly a hundred kinds of spells.

At this time, Su Mingzhe was like Xu Fu in "Feng Yun", integrating the strengths of hundreds of schools and almost becoming a master.

Before they knew it, the two had been in this world for more than a hundred years.

This year, heavy snow was flying all over the sky. Su Mingzhe held Yang Guifei in his arms on the top of the mountain, quietly watching the snow scene.

"This year is the sixth year of Kaiyuan. According to history, I will be born next year."

Yang Guifei snuggled in the man's arms, a little afraid to look up.

Going back more than a thousand years and experiencing my own birth firsthand seems somewhat absurd and weird.

However, what worries Yang Guifei even more is, what if she no longer exists in this world because of her influence?
"How about we go to Shu to have a look?"

Su Mingzhe had no interest in Wu Zetian, and naturally no interest in Yang Guifei of this time and space.

Of course, taking Yang Yuhuan away before she enters the palace... seems to be a good idea.

"Then let's leave now?"

Yang Guifei had long wanted to visit her parents, but she had never dared to go because she was afraid that it would affect history.

Now that they had the man's support, the two of them flew directly to Shuzhou.

At this time, Yang Guifei's father, Yang Xuanyan, served as the seventh-rank official in Shuzhou. His main job was to manage the household registration of Shuzhou and be responsible for farming, population education and other work.

The two men arrived in Shu, used invisibility techniques, and entered the Yang family's backyard.

Yang Guifei's biological mother, Yang Xuanyan's wife, was three months pregnant.

Su Mingzhe suddenly looked at Yang Guifei beside him, then lowered his head to look at the red thread of lovesickness in his hand, with a strange look on his face:
"Yunu, the baby girl in your mother's belly is really you."

"If you say that, of course I am me."

Yang Guifei didn't know the meaning of the man's words at first, but after a moment, she suddenly felt a strange force pulling her.

Su Mingzhe's eyes flashed with strange colors as he watched the elf in the painting, who had lived with him for almost two hundred years, turn into a red light and return to Madam Yang Xuanyan's abdomen.

It was said that "the Yang family had a daughter. Before she was born, red clouds descended from the sky, and then the whole house was filled with fragrance that lasted for a long time. The next year, on the first day of June, the daughter of the Yang family was born, and an immortal came to the house, touched her head and granted her immortality!"
