9. An Ordinary Life (Please Read)

night.

Xu Xing was punished and had to clean up a dozen war horses in Xiaoyi Hall.

Originally, Master Ma exempted him from this punishment when he saw that he was already a scholar. After all, it would be inappropriate for Xu Xing, a scholar, to brush horses again.

To put it lightly, this is against the rules.

To put it more seriously, this is an insult to scholars.

However, Xu Xing was willing to accept this punishment. He said that since he was the younger brother of Xiaoyi Hall, he had to be punished by the gang rules of Xiaoyi Hall. Otherwise, it would be his fault if things got messed up.

Never mind whether Xu Xing said these words for show.

But as soon as he said these words and his actual actions, the brothers in Xiaoyi Hall were very pleased with him.

Water flows to lower place, man goes to higher position. Xu Xing entered Wei Jing Academy without informing everyone, which was indeed inappropriate. But given the opportunity to study, who would want to lick blood all the time?

Xu Xing regards himself as a member of Xiaoyi Hall. From now on, Xu Xing will become prosperous, which means that they will also become prosperous. Although they were slightly dissatisfied with Xu Xing in their hearts, under Xu Xing's show, no matter what dissatisfaction they had, they would turn into recognition of Xu Xing.

"I am so good at being an official..."

"Who knew that I would take the wrong path and meet this dog emperor, Emperor Chongming..."

Xu Xing poured a bucket of warm water on a four-year-old bay horse, and while brushing the horse, Xu Xing cursed Emperor Chongming of Fengxi Kingdom.

He thought he was doing a good job as an official.

Ingratiating yourself with your superiors and uniting your subordinates...

But he happened to meet Emperor Chongming, a dog emperor with great ambitions and little talent.

But just as he was cursing, he saw that the column of [Fate] finally changed, from [Fate of a violent death (gray)] to [An ordinary life (white)].

After the change.

Xu Xing placed the brush bucket on the ground, closed his mind and returned to the real world.

…

…

Fengxi Country, Tianlao.

Ding twenty-four.

Xu Xing stared at the ancient bronze mirror in his mind without moving.

The opportunity to change your destiny is now.

[Mirror owner: Xu Xing. 】

[Tao Fruit: None. 】

[World: Late Qing Dynasty and Republic of China (All Heavens). 】

[Arrival: Soul. 】

[Time flow rate: one to five. 】

[Fate: Life is ordinary (white). 】

On the golden mirror, the destiny has changed.

However... just after his consciousness returned to the real world, [An Ordinary Life (White)]'s fate showed faint signs of collapse, as if it would collapse in the next moment.

"Your gray destiny [fate of violent death] has been changed to white destiny [life of ordinary life]."

"I would like to ask if you would like to choose [Tao Fruit] to be solidified, so that the illusory cause can be turned into a real fruit."

A sentence flows on the mirror.

Xu Xing naturally chose to use [Dao Fruit] to solidify his destiny.

If he guessed correctly, his destiny in Fengxi Kingdom was also white [life is ordinary]. However, after he was reborn through time travel, he changed his destiny and relied on arithmetic to successfully become the eighth-level master of Taipu Temple. Cheng, as a result, had "unmatched virtue" and lacked nobility in fate, so he was killed and imprisoned.

The advantage of ancient bronze mirrors is that they can solidify destiny.

Raise his lower limit.

next moment.

The word "无" in the column of "Dao Fruit" slowly changed, turning into the four characters "Life is Ordinary (White)".

At the same time, Xu Xing didn't know what was going on with him.

At the moment when Yin Shi's destiny changed, it seemed that his body had been hollowed out a lot.

It's comparable to the aftereffects of taking Musk Dragon Powder that night in the wedding room.

His breath was weak and weak.

The body that had been recuperated by eating meat these past few days was once again in deficit...

"Illusive causes transform into real effects..."

"There will be a price to pay."

"And the price is to consume my life energy?"

"Perhaps, instead of consuming life energy, you can use other powers to transform it. It's just that I don't practice martial arts or immortality. In the heavenly prison, I only have this flesh bag left, so I waste my life energy?"

Xu Xing lay on the wheat straw, sucking in the air to relieve fatigue, and thought to himself.

Fengxi State has legends about immortals.

As a court official, he had heard some.

It's just that I have never seen a real immortal with my own eyes.

Not to mention immortals, he was also dubious about martial arts. After all, the martial arts masters he had seen could not create a three-foot Qi wall, could not fly over walls, and could not prolong their lives...

For example, in his hometown of Kansai Road, there was a martial arts master named Tie Zhangxian. He was just over forty years old. He had a gray beard and white hair and an old face. He looked like an old man in his sixties or seventies.

I walk tremblingly every day, and it seems that I will feel better in a few days.

Therefore, he had long given up on such illusory things as martial arts and immortality, and instead concentrated on studying how to enter the officialdom...

Only when you are an official can you become a master.

but--,

Right now, the bronze mirror was in his mind.

He once again firmly believed in the existence of cultivating immortals.

"It's just...it's too difficult to find an immortal..."

"It would take at least ten years to travel through the territory of Fengxi Country."

"But it's hard to find immortals, but it's not hard to find martial arts. In the copy world, there is Master Ma's ancestral internal strength. Maybe you can find a way to get it. Even if Master Ma doesn't talk about it, there must be secrets of internal strength in other places..."

Although Xu Xing's fate of "an ordinary life" can temporarily avoid disasters, he may even be safe and worry-free for the rest of his life.

But what about the future?

He doesn't want to live a truly ordinary life.

Furthermore, an ordinary life does not mean that you will not encounter natural disasters or die suddenly in this life.

For ancient people, dying from plague and famine was also an ordinary life.

The next day.

Just as Xu Xing was daydreaming.

In the prison, Zhao Yunniang appeared in front of Xu Xing again with Old Li.

"Husband..."

"Princess Anren is getting married, and the emperor has ordered a general amnesty. Although you are not among the prisoners, your life is temporarily saved..."

"Lord Han told me that he would work with the Ministry of Justice to try to exempt you from the death penalty."

As soon as they met, Zhao Yunniang whispered to Xu Xing about this important news.

Xu Xing was not surprised.

He had tampered with his fate and knew that he would not die.

However, when he heard that Princess Anren suddenly got married, he couldn't help but secretly smack his lips. As far as he knew, Princess Anren's wedding date was March next year. The sudden early marriage was probably related to the bronze ancient mirror in his mind...

"More Yunniang, tell me about this."

Xu Xing held Zhao Yunniang's soft hand and said softly.

He had no feelings for Zhao Yunniang, but they were husband and wife for one night after all. In addition, Zhao Yunniang left a silver ingot for the jailer of Tianlao to improve his food. He still remembered this favor.

While talking, he also took a look at Zhao Yunniang.

I saw that Zhao Yunniang also changed her dress, put down the double flat bun, and changed to a woman's horse bun. She also took off the gold and silver hairpins that she had worn on her bun, and just tied her hair with a wooden hairpin.

The clothes also changed to a wide robe to cover her figure.

Seeing this, Xu Xing nodded secretly.
