Chapter 530 400 Years Before the Novice Space

The waves of the long river of time flowed past Cui Heng, but the power of time's erosion could no longer bring him decay.

As the light and shadow rapidly receded, Cui Heng sensed the Dao Zhouxing that spread from the present time and space to the past time and space.

It finally stopped at the moment when he walked out of the novice space and went back four hundred years.

Cui Heng had considered the reason why he chose this time.

The three hundred years he spent in the novice dimension were completely blank, as if he did not exist at all.

However, this does not mean that he is completely unable to touch those three hundred years.

In fact, Cui Heng has always been able to exert influence on the three-hundred-year time frame, and can also directly descend into the past, but he can only appear outside the novice space, and cannot trace back the situation in the novice space at all.

This may cause a very strange result.

If he established a time and space landmark during those three hundred years and completed the unification of that timeline, then what happened to himself in the novice space?

Therefore, he did not intend to touch the three-hundred-year timeline until this issue was clarified.

To be on the safe side, Cui Heng pushed forward another hundred years based on the three hundred years, which was the four hundred years before he left the novice space.

Now is the period in the history of Dao Zhouxing when four countries are competing for supremacy.

The Yuan Dynasty, which was overthrown by Hong Fugui, had not yet been established. The four kingdoms of Daxia, Dachen, Dayan, and Dazhao divided the world into thirty-two states.

The two countries of Daxia and Dayan were in the north. They had many archers, horsemen and cavalry, and fought extremely fiercely. However, they lived in a bitter cold land with a lack of resources and food and grass, so they were unable to fight for a long time.

Dachen and Dazhao are in the south, with fertile soil, abundant food and grass, and prosperous commerce and handicraft industries. The living standards of the people are not comparable to those in the North. However, horses are scarce, and the combat motivation of the soldiers is far less than that of the North. The overall combat power is Relatively weak.

The four countries had conflicts with each other and often attacked each other, but sometimes they formed alliances for mutual benefit, and this remained a stalemate for hundreds of years.

People in this era believed that one of the four countries would eventually conquer the others, unify the world, and once again the entire thirty-two states in the world, and achieve the final fruits of victory.

But no one expected that a group of barbarians would come from the four far north states that were ignored by the four countries.

Moreover, these barbarians swept across the four countries in less than ten years, destroyed the normal civilized order, and established a Yuan Dynasty ruled by barbarians.

Cui Heng came to the Kingdom of Zhao, which was the richest among the four kingdoms, but also the one with the weakest court.

It is said that when the barbarians invaded, it was the current emperor who took the lead in surrendering the city, but in the end this emperor did not end well and was torn apart by the barbarians and died.

At this time, Cui Heng was standing outside Linjing, the capital of the Great Zhao Kingdom.

Looking at the city gate in front, watching the skinny people in ragged clothes and the dignitaries wearing silk and satin walking on the same road, I couldn't help feeling a little sad.

Linjing City is known as the most prosperous and prosperous place in the world. It is the paradise on earth and the city of dreams in the hearts of northerners.

This is indeed true.

But what contributed to this wealth and prosperity was the suffering and even death of countless ordinary people.

The great Zhao State used the whole country to support the city of Linjing, and this was how it came to be.

The dignitaries in Linjing City seem to be living in heaven, but the people in Linjing City are living in dust and mud.

And the land outside Linjing City was full of people dying of hunger, and the people were in dire straits, and it was like hell.

"What a prosperous place in the world." Cui Heng sneered, then turned and left.

Such a dynasty deserves to perish and is a historical necessity.

He had no intention of interfering, nor could he.

It is established history that the four kingdoms of Daxia, Dachen, Dayan, and Dazhao were swept by barbarians.

No matter where it is moved, it may cause changes in the future, resulting in a series of problems.

For Cui Heng, the biggest problem when going back to the past this time is——

How to leave an identity that can be remembered by the world in this era without affecting the established history, so as to form a time and space landmark that can be traced back?

This is not an easy task.

"Fortunately, I have occupied the timeline four hundred years later and can conduct all-round supervision of that timeline. Regardless of any changes, I can make modifications at any time.

"In this way, I have the opportunity to try and make mistakes. Even if the established history deviates from what I did in this time and space, I can still correct it by modifying the past."

Cui Heng thought to himself, "However, I do not occupy this current point in time. I can only take action against the past across the long river of time. This method is not very secretive in Time Sleep.

"If you modify it too frequently, it will be too eye-catching, and it will be easy for strong people to notice this time, which is not good. You still have to try carefully and reduce the number of modifications as much as possible.

“The most reliable way is to select a suitable person four hundred years from now, look back on his past, and find his ancestors in this era.

"It's best for this person to have been by my side four hundred years ago. In this way, the development process of his family in the past four hundred years will be clear, and I can also control his future development very well. experience."

At the same time, in the Juhe County government office four hundred years later, Cui Heng, who was handling official duties, suddenly raised his head and looked at Hui Shi, who was standing aside.

At this time, Mr. Huang of Juhe County had just been arrested and was about to convene a public trial meeting for the people of the county.

Just yesterday, Cui Heng obtained a martial arts secret book "Buddha's Fury Heart Palm" from the Lotus Temple and tried to use his magic power to perform this martial arts.

Hui Shi saw with his own eyes that this martial arts exerted incredible power in Cui Heng's hands, and it actually directly ignited a ball of fire like the sun, making him feel that the world would be burned to ashes by this ball of fire, and all things would fall into destruction.

This made Hui Shi doubt whether the county lord he was tracing was still a human being. He was afraid that he was not an immortal who came down from the sky.

Therefore, when Cui Heng suddenly looked up at him, he felt very nervous and a little worried.

Could it be that this immortal did not want a mortal like him to follow?

"Hui Shi, who were your ancestors?" Cui Heng asked with a smile, and at the same time began to trace Hui Shi's past.

After going back to the time when he was born, he went back to his father's past at this time, and so on and so forth until the time four hundred years ago.

The purpose of talking to Hui Shi is to make the past time correspond to the current conversation, so that the process of going back can be smoother and the effect can be better.

"Ah, ah?" Hui Shi was obviously stunned when he heard this, and was very surprised. He didn't expect Cui Heng to ask this at all, but he still answered, "Reporting to the Immortal Venerable, my surname is Chen, and my father was originally a general of the Great Jin Dynasty. He fought on the battlefield for many years, but unfortunately he was killed by traitors later.

"My grandfather was also a general in the army, and my grandfather was also in the army... My Chen family has basically been in the army since the end of the Yuan Dynasty. Only I became a monk. "

"What about before the end of the Yuan Dynasty?" Cui Heng continued to ask. In fact, at this time he had already traced the timeline back to four hundred years ago.

"The Great Yuan Dynasty was a barbarian who stole the Central Plains, and my Chen family lived in seclusion. "Hui Shi also saw that Cui Heng obviously wanted to ask about the more distant past, so he continued, "Before the Yuan Dynasty, my Chen family was considered a family of scholars, living in the territory of Zhao State, and farming and reading were our occupations.

"My ancestors had once been the highest privy councilor and the prime minister. Later, many of my ancestors served in the court. However, in the last years of the Great Zhao, the court was incompetent and the people were living in poverty. My ancestors were framed by traitors, demoted to civilians, and exiled from the capital..."

Hui Shi told the history of his family in detail. These were all things recorded in the family history, and he knew them very well.

Cui Heng also compared it with the past history he traced back and found that the degree of consistency was extremely high. Only a few vague time points and places did not match. The overall authenticity was extremely high, which was very rare.

After figuring out the context of the Chen family for four hundred years, Cui Heng determined the next person to look for.

Hui Shi's ancestor Chen Tangwen, the Minister of War of the Great Zhao State, was also a great master of the Xuanguan realm and one of the top figures of the time.

However, now this Minister Chen has been removed from the court because he insisted on the policy of the Northern Expedition and repeatedly submitted memorials, offending too many people.

In order to dismiss this Minister Chen, the Ministers of the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Personnel, and the Ministry of Rites, who advocated peace, jointly submitted memorials, the Privy Council acquiesced, and the Censorate also fabricated a series of charges for impeachment.

In the end, this Minister Chen ended up being demoted to a commoner, abolished from military service, and exiled to Xiang County in southern Xinjiang.

It is a full three thousand miles from Linjing to Xiang County in southern Xinjiang. There are all kinds of dense forests, swamps, and miasma on the way. If you are not careful, you will die.

In history, this Minister Chen also got some opportunities on the way to exile, but in the end he still died in depression and died in Xiang County.

Cui Heng planned to take him away, teach him some martial arts as a hermit, and let him retreat from the world and practice in the future.

This can minimize his influence on the outside world.

Moreover, Chen Tangwen had already had offspring before he was exiled, so there was no need to worry that this practice would have an impact on Huishi four hundred years later.

As for how to make his identity remembered by the world through Chen Tangwen.

Cui Heng already had a plan in mind.

…

On a remote mountain road, the ragged Chen Tangwen walked with difficulty.

As a former master of the Qi-transforming realm, even if his martial arts were abolished, his physical foundation was still there, and he should not be so easily tired.

But the two officers who escorted him along the way were unscrupulous and deducted his meal money, only letting him drink porridge every day, and walking on mountain roads, with shackles on his hands and feet, even an iron man would find it difficult to support.

Both officers had black faces, ordinary looks, thin eyebrows and eyes, and looked a little treacherous.

One of the officers was named Wang San. Seeing that Chen Tangwen was walking so hard, he stepped forward and kicked him, sarcastically saying: "Chen Shangshu, aren't you a grandmaster? You are walking too slowly."

Plop!

Chen Tangwen fell directly to the ground, and his hands were cut by stones with several bloody wounds.

After a long time of being weak and rushing on the mountain road, his physical condition was already very poor. Now he was suddenly kicked down, his face turned pale, and his whole body trembled in pain.

However, Chen Tangwen still gritted his teeth, said nothing, and moved his body to stand up again.

Bang!

Another officer came over and kicked Chen Tangwen again, making him lie on the ground again, unable to stand up.

The officer's name was Li Er. He looked at Chen Tangwen lying on the ground with a happy expression on his face, and laughed: "Haha, the former Sima also fell at our feet, comfortable, comfortable, hahaha!"

The Minister of War is in charge of the military affairs and is also known as the Grand Sima.

Wang San came over and knelt down, smiled warmly at Chen Tang and said, "Chen Shangshu, let's do this. You kowtow to our two brothers, and we will let you have a full meal."

Li Er also smiled and said: "It's best to call me grandpa again."

In their view, being exiled to southern Xinjiang is the inevitable outcome.

Moreover, this Chen Shangshu was impeached by several ministers of the ministries and was displeased by the prime minister of the dynasty, so there was absolutely no possibility of his coming back.

Naturally, you can humiliate them at will.

Chen Tangwen didn't reply, but gave the two officers a cold look, forced himself to stand up again, and then walked forward with difficult steps.

Wang San and Li Er were a little frightened by Chen Tangwen's gaze just now, and they actually stood there for a long time before they came back to their senses.

Li Er felt that he was losing face and couldn't help but cursed: "Damn it, you old guy! You're looking for death!"

While cursing, he rushed over and kicked Chen Tangwen again.

"Forget it." Wang San raised his hand to stop Li Er, lowered his voice and shook his head, "After all, this old guy was once a great master and opened the secret of the entrance. Even if his martial arts is abolished, he might still have some hidden methods. Let's just play for a while, don't make him angry, otherwise he will jump over the wall. "

"Humph!" Li Er waved his hands dissatisfied, but finally nodded and said, "Okay, let him go."

"Yes." Wang San nodded, looked up at the sky, "Let's go quickly, it's getting late, and it looks like it's going to rain. I just saw a ruined temple in front of me, and I'll spend the night there. Bar."

"Okay, we really should go quickly!" Li Er glanced at Chen Tangwen who was staggering forward, strode forward and shouted: "Chen Shangshu, you are too slow, it is almost dark now, Let’s all go faster!”

As he said that, he directly grabbed Chen Tangwen's injured shackles and walked forward quickly, which immediately made Chen Tangwen's steps become shaky and even more unstable.

However, Chen Tangwen still managed to keep his figure steady and followed with difficulty.

…

When night fell, Chen Tangwen was escorted by Li Er and Wang San to the ruined temple.

Li Er walked in first, narrowed his eyes immediately, and said hello: "Haha, hello everyone, I didn't expect that this road is quite lively."

At this time, there were already four people in this ruined temple, apparently three groups.

One of the groups was an old man and a girl, who looked like a father and daughter. The other two groups were a middle-aged monk and a young Taoist priest in feathers and stars.

Judging by their appearance and temperament, they must all be from the Jianghu community.

Li Er shouted loudly, and was actually reporting the news to Wang San who was following behind. Wang San who was following immediately became more vigilant, holding the handle of the road, ready to take action at any time.

Chen Tangwen kept his head down and said nothing.

Wang San came over and politely raised his hands and said: "Guys, we are the guards escorting the prisoners. We happened to pass by here. It's getting late now and we plan to stay here for one night. Is there any inconvenience?"

The old man was the first to shake his head and said: "When my daughter and I came here, the master and the little Taoist were already there. The little Taoist should be the first to come."

The young Taoist priest is actually Cui Heng. He nodded gently and said with a smile: "Everyone is doing it for convenience when they go out. I just got there first, so just stay here."

At this time, the middle-aged monk who was meditating with his eyes closed suddenly opened his eyes and said calmly: "I advise you to leave here immediately, otherwise you may be killed."
