Journey to Seek Past Reincarnations Chapter 1: One Thousand and One Nights
I don't want to know whether the dream of returning to Heianjing was really an illusion. Qingming and Boya must be admiring flowers and drinking in a certain time and space, talking about those strange spells...
On days when the birds are sleeping, this place seems to be extraordinarily quiet. When will I be able to go to the underworld? When will I be able to end this endless journey... The freshness at the beginning has disappeared in the heartache again and again, and my heart is already getting bored...
For the next mission, can you not let me meet such an outstanding person, can you be a little ugly and hateful, so that I can leave without any regrets...
In the following days, no client came to the door.
On the days when I don’t have tasks, apart from helping out at the teahouse, I just stay in the room and watch TV. I glance at the Si Yin beside me, who seems to be concentrating on the magazine in his hand.
"Master, you hide a lot of secrets." I suddenly whispered in a corner of the sofa with my arms around the pillow.
Si Yin raised his eyebrows noncommittally, and continued to flip through a page of the magazine in his hand.
The more he is like this, the more confused I feel, and I really want to get him drunk and come up with some words.
"Master, will I know all the truth after the tears are collected?"
Si Yin paused and said, "Is that why you want to know the truth?"
I nodded and said, "I think, I really want to know why I have to complete these tasks, and why it's so easy to get involved with the people involved in the tasks. , I feel more and more that it is not a coincidence. Master, do you think they met me because of a special relationship?"
Si Yin's hand trembled slightly, and a strange expression flashed across his face. He closed the magazine, looked at me and said, "I think it's Xiaoyin, you think too much."
"But Master..." I wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by his words, "It's getting late, turn off the TV and go to sleep."
"No, I still want to watch horror movies at midnight. I haven't touched a TV for almost a year." I picked up the remote control and pressed it randomly.
"One year? It seems like it's only over a week here." He said calmly, ready to stand up and go back to the room.
"Master, are you going to sleep?
"I'll go back to my room and read a book before going to bed."
"Then, Master, let's take a look here, the light here is good." I tugged at his sleeve and said.
Suddenly a faint smile flashed across his eyes, and he said, "Are you afraid of watching alone?"
"Heh, huh, how could it be." I laughed twice, he really understood me.
He looked at me for a while, sat down again, and opened the magazine.
I breathed a sigh of relief and concentrated on watching the midnight movie. I don't know how long it took, and finally finished watching the movie while yawning, and wanted to tell Si Yin to go to sleep, but when he turned his head, he found that he had fallen asleep leaning on the sofa, and the magazine in his hand had slipped to the floor.
This is the first time I saw Si Yin who fell asleep. Under the half-bright light, his long black eyelashes flickered slightly, forming faint shadows under his eyes, just like a newborn butterfly flapping its fragile wings, and his thin lips were slightly pursed, forming a A perfect arc.
This face, no matter how you look at it, is only in its twenties. It has never changed in the past ten years. Master, who is he? What secret is hidden in the end?
Under the light, Si Yin's whole body seemed to be shrouded in a soft light golden light, and his extremely handsome face was like a god, not like an ordinary human being at all.
The next morning, I got up very early, opened the window, and looked out. Before I knew it, my time had come to the early autumn season.
Today's client came early.
When I first saw her, I was slightly taken aback. She may be very young, but the heavy makeup has completely covered her true face. When she smiles, I seem to feel the makeup powder on her face rustled down. How could this woman wear such heavy makeup?
Just like the women in the past, when she saw Si Yin, she was in a daze for a while, too nervous to speak.
"Since you're here, you're destined, don't be nervous, just talk." I said to her with a smile.
She nodded, "I, my name is Han Li, I don't know why, since I was sensible, I have always liked makeup, and every time I spend hours on makeup, it is absolutely impossible not to wear makeup. I will go out and wear makeup even when I sleep."
"This seems to be a disease..." I whispered.
"Yes, I also went to the hospital. The doctor said that I was suffering from a kind of make-up obsessive-compulsive disorder. But for so many years, I have also taken a lot of medicine, not only did not improve, but it became more and more serious. My ex Several boyfriends also left me because they couldn't bear my disease. I, I am really in pain, I can't stop, when I don't make up, I seem to hear many people say that I am ugly, I stop Can't come down...help me, please help me..." she begged eagerly.
"The cause of the previous life, the fruit of the future life, let me see the root of your fate." Si Yin said, stretching out his finger, and gently touching her forehead.
In the white light, a string of earthworm-like words appeared on her forehead. Before I could take a closer look, Si Yin withdrew her hand.
"A long time ago, in one life, you were the princess of A-A-A-A-Ab. Although you had a prominent status, you had an ugly appearance. In order to win the heart of the man you love, you made love with the devil. You have made a deal, let you have unparalleled beauty, but the price you pay is unimaginable and endless pain every night. He mistakenly thought that you had an affair with others, killed you by mistake, and then killed himself. Although you have been reincarnated continuously, the inner inferiority complex has never been eliminated. Now, do you understand?"
She sat there in a daze, and didn't come back to her senses for a long time.
"But don't worry, since you entrusted us, we will take care of it for you." Si Yin gestured to me to see off the guests.
"I made a deal with the devil..." she murmured, her eyes were blank.
"I will let you know when the time comes."
"Thank you, thank you..." She lowered her head and walked out of the room.
"It's a good thing she forgot everything here as soon as she left the room, otherwise it would be really scary." I shook my head and said, "The inferiority complex in my heart can be so scary. There is no such devil now, right? "
"No?" The corner of Si Yin's mouth slightly raised, "It's just that the devil changed his method."
"Changed the way?"
"It's a devil's deal that we can't see."
"Master, I don't understand."
"In the future, you will understand that the devil will never let go of any weakness of human beings." Si Yin patted me lightly, "Don't think about it, this time the location is Baghdad in 785 A.D. , the princess’s name is Olaiye, and she is the daughter of the Abbasid Caliph Mahdi.”
"The Abbasid Dynasty?" I was taken aback, "Could it be the era of the legendary One Thousand and One Nights?"
Si Yin nodded.
The Abbasid Dynasty was the most prosperous period of the Arab Empire and the most glorious era in the history of Arab. Baghdad, the capital located on the Mesopotamian Plain, was a famous city with a political, economic and cultural center and a gathering of literati and scholars at that time. The Abbasid dynasty, also in the chaotic history of the constant wars in the Islamic world, rarely lasted for nearly six centuries. It was not until 1258 that it was terminated by the iron hoof of Genghis Khan’s grandson Xu Liegu. period.
"But master, should I stop the deal between the devil and her, or stop her death?"
"The devil is one of the seventy-two demon kings under King Solomon. It is not easy to stop this transaction."
The seventy-two pillars of King Solomon? King Solomon was the ruler of Israel in the 10th century BC. Legend has it that when he was building the temple, God sent an archangel to give him a pentagram ring to serve him with seventy-two demon kings, which are the seventy-two pillars of King Solomon. The seventy-two demon kings also include the famous seven fallen angels, Lucifer representing pride, Mamon representing greed, Satan representing anger, Asmonds representing desire, Belusable representing gluttony, Levitan for jealousy, Belphegor for sloth.
"But Master, King Solomon, isn't he a character from the 10th century BC? How could it appear in the era I'm going to?" I asked in confusion.
"King Solomon's spiritual body has never died, and his demon king is still working for him."
"Understood, then I want to prevent the death of the princess and her husband?"
"Xiaoyin, the task this time is not only to prevent their deaths, but more importantly, to eliminate her inner inferiority complex."
"Eliminate her inner inferiority complex?" I asked puzzledly, "Then what should I do?"
"Then you have to ask yourself." Si Yin glanced at me.
"Master, I think this task is rather difficult. Saving people is easy, but changing people's hearts is probably not an easy thing." I said hesitantly.
"You can." A faint smile flashed in his eyes.
"Okay, for the sake of Asuka, I want to try too. But Master," I hesitated, said, "Don't send me to the wrong place again, China is better, that a-la- I'm not familiar with it at all."
"If you send it wrong, don't you still have a solution?"
"Ah..." I thought about it for a while. At that time, China was in the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, and the flags of the Abbasid Dynasty were mostly black, so Chinese history books called this dynasty the Great Food in Black. It's so far away.
"Master, please forgive me." I pouted helplessly.
Si Yin looked at me, and the faint smile in his eyes seemed to be mixed with some unpredictable emotions.
"Remember, don't mess with King Solomon's seventy-two pillars."
"Understood, master, there are seventy-two demon kings, how can I have this ability." I laughed a few times, so I wouldn't be so overconfident, I can't afford to provoke a demon king.
"I know your temperament best, I'm afraid you don't know what to do when you get hotheaded."
"Master, I still know the severity, don't worry."
After saying goodbye to Asuka, I set off again.
Is the ancient Arabian Kingdom in the distant past like the one described in the book, with its resplendent palace, bustling market, charming dancers, a kingdom full of mystery...
What kind of people will they meet this time?
When I woke up, I only felt the scorching wind blowing towards me with yellow sand. As soon as I opened my eyes, I was immediately blinded by sand and dust, and the strong wind made me unable to stand. I screamed in my heart that it was not good, finally opened my eyes, and immediately stayed there. Where is the bustling city of Baghdad in front of you? It is clearly an endless desert. The sand dunes in the distance are rolling and endless.
Si Yin, you idiot! Where did you send me? ! I cursed several times angrily in my heart, but seeing the wind and sand getting bigger and bigger, I had to lay down an enchantment first to block it for a while.
Just now he breathed a sigh of relief, when he suddenly heard a woman's voice in the wind, could it be a business traveler? I was hesitating for a while, when I suddenly saw a red figure running towards me not far away.
"Get on the horse!" A clear and soft voice came into my ears, and through the billowing dust, I vaguely saw a woman in red, and the voice seemed very young. Just as I was about to answer, I suddenly felt the sand under my feet loosen, and the sand around me sank down like flowing water, like a vortex appearing in a sea of sand. The speed was unimaginable. Was swept in by quicksand.
I don't know how long it took, but I began to regain consciousness. I only felt tightness in my chest and itchy throat, "Ahem!" A violent cough from myself woke me up completely.
I slowly opened my eyes, and it was pitch black. Where the **** is this? Shouldn't I be buried in the sea of sand? But it doesn't feel like it, so let's contact Si Yin.
I recited two mantras, and the crystal bracelet on my hand began to glow, illuminating the surroundings like daylight. I saw the woman in red lying next to me at a glance. She wanted to save me, so she was also swept down together? I stopped chanting the mantra first, bent down, and put my ear against her chest to listen. Fortunately, she was still breathing. I raised my head and took a closer look at the unconscious woman. Although she was wearing a veil, she looked very young.
I looked around again, and suddenly found that this place turned out to be a cave-like place. The sand cave is not big, and there are a pile of worn-out utensils in the corner. There are caves at the bottom of the desert? I couldn't help being startled, but I calmed down again quickly. It seems that I don't need to ask Yu Siyin for help. I can get out with the sand drilling technique.
However, I don't know if the wind and sand outside have weakened, or stay here for a while, hoping that this woman will wake up soon. I glanced at the utensils in the corner, and a copper lamp with a special shape caught my attention. I couldn't help but secretly smiled, it really looked like Aladdin's magic lamp in One Thousand and One Nights. Out of curiosity, I picked up the lamp and wiped it lightly.
"Pop!" A wisp of white smoke rose slowly, I was startled, and let go of my hand suddenly, wouldn't it?
The white smoke became thicker and thicker, and it gradually turned into a human form. I watched all this happened in a daze. No way, there really isn't an Aladdin magic lamp, is there?
"Master, did you release me?"
"Master?..."
My mouth has long been opened into an "O" shape, staring at the demon or **** or demon in front of me without blinking?
