Journey to Seek Past Reincarnations Chapter 2: Heianjing

In the middle of the night, I was suddenly awakened by a suppressed groan, which came from the sound manager's room. I suddenly sat up from the bed, put on some clothes, and went to Si Yin's room. Could it be that his illness has relapsed?

Pushing open the door of Si Yin's room, I saw Si Yin's face was pale, biting his lower lip tightly, as if he was enduring great pain, and it turned out that he had a seizure. It's strange, every year, Si Yin will have such an illness, and there is no symptom, and there is no cure, but it will return to normal after three days.

"Master?" I called out in a low voice, seeing that his forehead was covered with fine sweat, I hurried out to fetch a basin of water and came in with a towel. I soaked the towel, wrung it out, and wiped his forehead gently.

It can be seen that he is very uncomfortable, and the pajamas on his body seem to be completely soaked.

"Master, are you okay? Do you want to drink water?" Every time he had a seizure before, Asuka was by his side, so I have never seen him like this so closely. Although he was used to his once-a-year post, but seeing the god-like Si Yin also have this kind of time, he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

He shook his head and looked up at me. At that moment, I suddenly felt that his eyes were very strange, and there was a look in those eyes that I couldn't understand.

"Go out, Xiaoyin." He lowered his head and said in a deep voice.

"But Master, you are like this..."

"Get out."

"But..."

Si Yin raised his head again, stared at me, and said word by word: "Get out." I was taken aback, wondering if it was because my eyes were dazzled, but Si Yin's eyes turned golden. I quickly rubbed my eyes, and when I looked again, it was still the original eyes of different colors. I was really dazzled, how could Si Yin have golden eyes.

"Then, Master, I'll put the towel and water there, and you can wipe it yourself." As I spoke, I left his room and closed the door.

I think I need a rest, I may be too tired.

The next day is the day of departure. Before I left, I changed my clothes and tried to comb my hair in a less abrupt way, but my hair was messed up due to loose technique.

I couldn't help putting the comb on the table irritably, thinking of the comatose bird, it was even more sad.

"Asuka, look, I can't even comb my hair well without you..." I murmured.

At this moment, a well-shaped hand picked up the comb on the table. I froze for a moment, turned my head sideways and looked up along my hands, and what caught my eyes was Si Yin's handsome face. The Chinese-style stand-up collar tightly wrapped around his neck, his pale skin showing slightly, and his calm and calm expression all gave him an abstinent beauty. The next move by Si Yin surprised me even more. He actually combed my hair skillfully.

"Master?" I was a little stunned.

Si Yin said lightly, "What's the matter? I'm afraid I can't comb it well? Didn't I comb it for you when you were young?"

For a moment, I suddenly realized that the picture in front of me was gradually blurring. The self in the mirror seemed to be a little girl who was seven or eight years old and couldn't see her face clearly... The little girl was crying loudly with a strange messy hairstyle, but Si Yin who was standing beside her was paralyzed...

"Okay."

Hearing his voice, I came back to my senses, looked into the mirror, and my eyes couldn't help but shine. The combed bun is actually quite beautiful, which is beyond my expectation.

I couldn't help touching my hair, "In the past, every time Master combed my hair, I didn't dare to go out to meet people. When I met someone I knew, I wanted to hide quickly. I didn't expect Master to do so well! Master , you are finally omnipotent in front of my eyes!

Si Yin said coolly, "Don't dare to go out? Want to hide? Huh?"

I stuck out my tongue and changed the subject with a smirk, "The hairstyle is done! It's almost time to go."

I was about to get up when Si Yin tapped my shoulder lightly.

"Wait a minute, I'm short of something."

He leaned down and inserted a jade hairpin into my hair, then nodded slightly, "This is much better."

I looked up into the mirror, and there was a pair of figures reflected in it. Master's eyes were falling on my face with tenderness and focus, without any trace of the usual indifference. As if he noticed that I was looking at him, he quickly withdrew his gaze and returned to his indifferent expression.

"Are you ready? This time you are going to Heian-kyo, the capital of the early Heian period in Japan."

Kyoto, are you going again? The moment I closed my eyes, the warm and clear smile of the general manager appeared in front of me again, but this time in Kyoto, there was no such distressing young man.

After the crystal glowed brilliantly, I continued my time travel.

This is Heian-kyo? After waking up, I opened my eyes and looked around in astonishment. It was clearly a Chinese-style building, and the pedestrians around me were all wearing Tang costumes. What surprised me even more was that the people passing by me said that I was familiar with it. The discourse - Chinese.

Strange, did Heianjing imitate our country so thoroughly? Impossible, in Japan at that time, only nobles could learn Chinese, how could it be so popular?

My heart was agitated, and I hurriedly grabbed a young woman beside me, "Where is this place?"

The woman looked at me in surprise and said, "This is Fuzhou."

Fuzhou? I was surprised, isn't Fuzhou in China?

"Then what is the current year name?"

"Baoda for eight years."

In the eighth year of Baoda, I quickly recalled that the eighth year of Baoda seems to be the year name of the Southern Tang Dynasty in history, so it means that I am indeed in my own country. What's going on? Could it be that Si Yin's illness affected his spells, and that's why there was such a big error?

However, the eighth year of Baoda seems to be 950 AD. The time seems to be correct, but the space is much different.

Forget it, since we are here, there is always a way to go to Japan, right? Although the Tang Dynasty had perished, the cultural and economic exchanges between Japan and the coastal areas of China were still very frequent during this period. By the way, you can take a boat to Heian-kyo.

Thinking of this, my mood calmed down again, and I went to the **** shop to exchange some copper coins. During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, the currency was in chaos, and the Southern Tang Dynasty still used the previous Kaiyuan Tongbao. Then I went to buy a simple Tang suit. Although the dynasties have changed, the pedestrians on the road still wear Tang costumes. It seems that many things are not so easy to change.

I ate something in a restaurant, bought some dry food, and hurried to the pier.

There were a lot of people on the pier, but there were not many boats. There were only a few boats parked here and there on the sea. There was a large group of people not far ahead, I hesitated for a moment, pushed through the crowd and squeezed to the bow, only to see a man dressed as a boatman chasing a young girl down.

"Go down, go down, I want to take a boat to He Kingdom with so few tens of pennies." The man said angrily.

"Boater, please, I must go to He Kingdom." The girl held on to the side of the boat tightly and continued to plead.

When I heard the man's words, I couldn't help but feel happy. It really didn't take much effort. This ship is going to Japan, but why is that girl so persistent in going to Japan? It seems strange for a woman in this day and age to go to a foreign country alone. The girl was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a good appearance and an elegant temperament, as light as a magnolia flower, but her face was pale, as if suffering from some kind of disease.

I don't know why, but I have an inexplicable affection for her.

"Boatman, I also want to take a boat to Heguo." I stepped forward and said.

Before the boatman answered, I had already poured out half of the copper coins from my pocket, and the boatman immediately smiled and nodded repeatedly.

"Wait a minute, we need to add her." I pointed to the girl, and seeing him hesitate, I said again, "Even if we add her, it's still more than enough."

He only thought for a few seconds, "Get on board."

The girl gave me a look in disbelief, but she still hasn't recovered.

"Are you going or not?" I yelled at her when I got on the boat, and she came back to her senses and hurried towards me. I stretched out my hand and pulled her onto the boat.

"Thank you, thank you." She said softly.

"You're welcome, it happens that we can be a companion." I smiled and said.

She raised her face, smiled slightly, and nodded slightly.

After all, we are similar in age, so we got to know each other very quickly.

"My name is Ye Yin, how about you?" I lived in the same room with her, which was not bad, and I happened to have someone to talk to with me along the way.

"My name is Shaluo." She said in a low voice.

"Sha Luo, that's a very special name." I looked at her, and the name didn't seem like an ancient Chinese name.

"Well, I heard from my mother that my father took it, and my father likes Shaluo Shuangshu very much."

"Sara double tree? It seems to be a kind of twin plant in Buddhism. I think your father must like your mother very much, so he named you this." I laughed and teased her. Her eyes gradually dimmed, and she frowned suddenly, clutching her chest, as if she was entangled in severe pain, and let out a low moan.

"Are you okay? Shaluo!" I was taken aback by her. She quickly waved her hand and said softly: "It's an old problem, no, it doesn't matter."

It took a while before she slowly got better, but her face became paler and paler.

"I said, Shaluo, why did you go to Japan—to Heguo with a body like yours?" I asked puzzled.

She looked at me, was silent for a while and said, "I'll go find my father."

"Your father? Your father is in the He Kingdom?" I asked with my eyes wide open in surprise.

After listening to her story, I realized that her father was a nobleman in Japan. He met Sha Luo's mother when he traveled to China in his early years, and he stayed in China ever since. Unexpectedly, one year after Sha Luo's birth, the domestic political situation became increasingly chaotic, and after Sha Luo's father was called back to Japan by a letter from a family member who was critically ill, there was no news of him and he never came back.

It turned out to be a foreign relationship in troubled times...

"But, why did you only think of looking for your father now?"

She lowered her eyelids and said in a low voice: "My mother just passed away. Before she died, she wanted me to recognize my father no matter what. In addition, I heard that Wu Yue's soldiers and horses will soon be sent to Fuzhou, so I..."

"I understand, don't worry, you will definitely find your father." I comforted her. Looking at Sha Luo's weak body, I suddenly had an idea to protect her.

"Xiao Yin, tell me, has my father forgotten my mother?" She suddenly asked quietly.

"How come, there must be a misunderstanding, don't think too much, go to rest early." Although I comforted her like this, I also had some doubts in my heart. After all, there are many infatuated women in this world. After going there for more than ten years and not coming back, it's probably because of a new love.

It has been three or four days on the boat, Sha Luo's body is not able to withstand the turbulence of the waves, and his body is getting weaker and weaker day by day. Her condition seemed to be getting worse and worse. I saw it in my eyes and was anxious in my heart. I was really worried that she would not be able to survive in Japan and see her father.

A few days before arriving in Japan, Sha Luo's condition suddenly deteriorated. I was anxious and sad, but there was nothing I could do.

"Shaluo, cheer up. It's okay, it's okay." As I comforted her, an inexplicable fear surged in my heart. Will another fresh life disappear before my eyes? It used to be the general manager, but now it's Shaluo?

She struggled to untie a piece of hook jade from her neck, and said in a low voice: "Xiaoyin, our acquaintance is also a matter of fate. My father hung it on me when I was born. Finally, give it to my father for me."

"You idiot, you'll be fine." My nose started to sore.

"Remember, my father's name is He Mao Zhongkan, please, Xiao Yin." As soon as she finished speaking, she began to gasp desperately. Seeing her painful appearance, my heart felt like a knife.

"Promise me, Xiao Yin. Be sure, you must ask my father why, why he didn't come back..." She held my hand tightly. I shook her hand and nodded emphatically.

She breathed a sigh of relief and slowly closed her eyes.

Feeling her hand loosen, I immediately pulled her hand hard, the warm feeling is still there, just a ray of beauty, and it disappeared.

Shaluo, don't worry, I will definitely find your father, and I will definitely ask him what you want to ask, for sure.

Heian-kyo, I have finally arrived.

"The capital is here, Shaluo." Standing on the streets of the capital, I murmured, reaching out to touch the piece of jade, it was as warm as Shaluo's hand.

It is the season of cherry blossoms at this time, and the cherry blossoms are everywhere on the staggered streets, and the pink and white petals dance with the wind like butterflies. From time to time, the ox carts of nobles and ministers pass by slowly, and occasionally you can see a corner of the dress as gorgeous as clouds from under the curtain.

Compared to Kyoto seven hundred years later, Heian-kyo now exudes a peaceful and elegant atmosphere.

Now, what should be done? Although the task is very important, I can't ignore Sharo's plea, and it is not so easy to get close to Emperor Murakami's concubine. Shaluo's father is a nobleman, maybe I can learn something from him, anyway, it's better than me being like a headless chicken.

He Mo Zhongkan, who the **** is he? The surname He Mao seemed familiar.

I suddenly felt a few eyes focus on me, raised my eyes and looked around, and a few passers-by in wet clothes were looking at me in surprise. That's right, I'm a woman in Tang suit, standing alone on the street in a foreign land, it's really strange, I quickly turned my head and walked to the side road.

As soon as I turned around, I felt as if my body hit something, followed by a burst of pain.

Looking up, it turned out to be an ox cart, and the driver of the cart was still expressionless, showing no sign of apology. "Hey, you won't even say sorry when you hit someone!" I rubbed my painful waist and stopped in front of the bullock cart. Suddenly a voice sounded from the bullock cart: "Are you okay?" The voice sounded very young.

"Not dead yet." I said angrily.

The man smiled slightly, and lifted the curtain with a fan. A young man wearing a black hat and an ice-blue hunting suit appeared in front of my eyes. Under the black hat was a handsome and gentle face. The long and narrow black eyes glanced at me intentionally or unintentionally, revealing a bit of indescribable enchantment. I took a deep breath, how could there be such seductive eyes in this world that are so charming but so beautiful?
