Chapter 2
Chapter 2
Qin Zheng ran back to his residence along the trail beside the mountain road.
It was a natural cave, and Qin Zheng had been living here since he was expelled from the division.
Twenty years ago, after Qin Zheng was expelled from the division, he found his home by relying on some fragments of his childhood memories.
I thought I could live a life of luxury and wealth again.
However, he stayed in the Tianque Sect for nearly 30 years. During this period, the family had already had a new heir, and his father and mother had passed away.
For the eldest son who came back suddenly, no one would admit it.
In desperation, Qin Zheng had no choice but to return to Yujing Mountain. Penniless, he found this cave.
I lived there for 20 years.
Before being expelled, Qin Zheng died without pleading guilty, and his master issued a 20-year expulsion order in a fit of anger, making him reflect on himself.
However, he regretted it after going down the mountain for a year.
Now Qin Zheng often recalls the situation at that time, but he can't understand why he just refuses to admit his mistakes.
If he could do it all over again, he vowed that he would never play tricks on his junior again!
Now, Qin Zheng is sitting in the somewhat messy and gloomy cave, thinking about the scene at Tianque Temple just now, his intestines are green with regret.
"God, is there any regret medicine that I can take?"
Qin Zheng howled weakly to the sky twice, as a vent.
"But regret medicine is useless. The stupid things I did probably can only be saved by doing it again."
Qin Zheng looked around and began to dig things up in the cave with his head down.
Today is doomed not to make any money. I don't know if I will find the copper plate that I accidentally dropped on the ground, so that I can have dinner.
It's winter now, and the cold and hungry nights are too difficult.
When he was lying on the stone bed and pawing at the cracks in the bed, he suddenly felt a light pat on the back.
Qin Zheng paused for a moment, feeling better instantly.
It is the only one who will come to this cave!
Qin Zheng turned around and sat down on the stone bed, smiling at the misty 'man' standing in front of the bed.
The 'person' in front of the bed was about the same height as Qin Zheng. He had no facial features and could not speak. He only had the shape of a man, but he could understand human speech.
This is what Qin Zheng encountered in the mountains and forests 15 years ago, and he has been following him ever since.
But the time of his appearance was not fixed, sometimes he would come to the cave to look for him every day, sometimes only once in seven days, and the longest time he hadn’t seen him for half a year.
At that time Qin Zheng thought he would never see him again.
Unexpectedly, half a year later, he would appear in front of her swaggeringly.
All in all a very casual guy.
"Xiaobai! I miss you so much!" Qin Zheng hugged the waist of the 'person' in front of him.
Xiaobai is the name Qin Zheng gave this thing.
"It's such a coincidence that you showed up today!"
"Go and help me find something to eat, or I'm going to be hungry today."
After finishing speaking, Qin Zheng let go of Xiao Bai's waist, retreated to the bed and looked at him pitifully, regardless of whether he could see or not.
After hearing what Qin Zheng said, Xiaobai just tilted his head and did not act.
Just as Qin Zheng was still thinking about what was going on, Xiao Bai stretched out a hand towards him.
He didn't pay attention just now, until Xiaobai stretched out his hand in front of him, Qin Zheng realized that he was holding a khaki-colored scroll in his hand.
Qin Zheng glanced at the scroll without interest.
"Is it for me again?"
Xiaobai nodded.
"You picked it up?"
Xiaobai continued to nod.
He wondered, Xiaobai had been picking things up for so long, why didn't he see him picking up money to give to himself?
Seeing him keep passing the scroll to himself, Qin Zheng finally reached out and took the scroll.
Every time Xiaobai wanted to give him something, he would just keep passing it if he didn't pick it up, and Qin Zheng was defeated every time.
Seeing that Qin Zheng accepted the things he gave, Xiao Bai turned around and took out the basket from the shelf in the cave and walked out of the cave.
It seems that he is obediently going to find something to eat for Qin Zheng.
After Xiaobai left, Qin Zheng turned his gaze back to the scroll, his slender fingers casually fiddled with the plain looking thing.
Xiaobai's biggest bad habit is: he likes to pick up all kinds of messy things, just like a child who has never seen the world.
He will pick up everything that is not common in the forest.
After picking it up, he didn't play with it himself, and gave it all to Qin Zheng.
Looking at the material of the scroll, although it is a bit darker, it is silk.
I don't know how Xiaobai found this kind of thing in this wild suburban forest.
Anyway, being bored, Qin Zheng pulled with two fingers, and the ribbon tied to the scroll was untied.
At the same time, the scroll opened slowly by itself, as if it was alive.
The moment the scroll was opened, a golden light flashed in front of Qin Zheng's eyes.
Then a string of golden words emerged from the scroll and floated on the scroll.
"Tsk! It looks like this is still a baby?"
Qin Zheng read the golden text with concentration.
[This scroll is called the time scroll, which can make people's souls temporarily travel back to the past through time and space, and help those who are destined have a chance to choose again.
This scroll has only ten chances to go back to the past, and each time it can only stay in the past for one month, please cherish it if you are destined.
You can only go to the same time point once, and the two time points must be separated by at least half a year. Please take advantage of the opportunity.
Remember not to change the course of history, otherwise you will disappear with you now, and your soul will be trapped in this time period without return.
Reminder: The time of crossing may be deviated, please be prepared for the predestined ones.
How to use: Use a pen to write down the desired time point on the scroll, and it will be opened automatically. 】
Qin Zheng read these lines of words over and over again, and after carefully figuring out the meaning of these lines of words, he probably understood the purpose of this scroll.
Going back to the past and changing the past, isn't that what I want?
Just as Qin Zheng was thinking about what kind of pen the above-mentioned pen was, a wooden-looking pen flew out from the handle of the scroll and stood quietly on the scroll.
As long as you pick up a pen and write something on the scroll, this thing can be activated.
Qin Zheng glanced at the inside of the scroll, it was blank, and then glanced at the pen standing in front of him.
I can't help but have some doubts in my heart: Is this a conspiracy.
How could it be possible that just when I was thinking about taking the regret medicine, the regret medicine fell from the sky?
Lost ten at once?
Looking back on my nearly 50 years of life carefully, even writing a love letter can make people in the whole sect know the luck.
How could you be so lucky to get such a good baby?
Qin Zheng picked up the scroll, looked around, and finally put it on the bedside hesitantly.
He comforted himself bluntly: I am living a leisurely life now, and I have nothing to regret.
At this time, Xiao Bai, who had gone out to find food for Qin Zheng, came back with a basket.
Qin Zheng glanced at the basket in his hand and sighed.
Xiaobai only knows how to pick fruit, and he can pick fruit that tastes good all year round, but it's always not so good to eat it as a meal.
Especially in this winter when food is needed to warm the stomach.
Qin Zheng took the fruit basket that Xiaobai handed to him, picked a fruit that fits his eyes, rubbed it on his body, and started eating.
On the other side, after Qin Zheng took the basket, Xiaobai looked left and right, and then consciously helped him clean up the things in the cave.
Qin Zheng has tried his best to maximize Xiaobai's role.
The skill of finding food is owned by Xiaobai himself, and the skill of tidying up is taught by Qin Zheng.
Xiaobai seemed to be particularly interested in what Qin Zheng taught, and he never tired of doing it.
Every time he appeared, he would take the initiative to help Qin Zheng clean up the cave.
Looking at Xiaobai's busy figure, Qin Zheng thought again about what he was.
At the beginning, Xiao Bai appeared in his cave while he was sleeping. At that time, even if Qin Zheng had the guts, he was shocked when he opened his eyes and saw a white person squatting in front of the bed.
I thought he was a ghost, but he was not afraid of the sun.
Although he is like a cloud of fog, he is solid and can pick up all kinds of things.
At that time, Qin Zheng couldn't help regretting that he didn't study hard in Tianque Sect. If he read the book seriously, he might know what Xiaobai is.
Qin Zheng sat cross-legged on the bed, glanced at the scroll next to him that would have been floating with golden characters until it was closed, and then glanced at Xiaobai.
"Xiaobai! Is there really nothing wrong with this scroll?"
The busy Xiaobai happily ran over because Qin Zheng called his name.
After glancing at the scroll Qin Zheng was pointing at, he still tilted his head.
Seeing Xiaobai's expression, he knew that it didn't know anything, and it must have been picked up casually.
"never mind."
Seeing that Qin Zheng didn't need him anymore, Xiaobai ran back to continue packing his things.
Qin Zheng's eyes followed Xiaobai's movement, but he was struggling in his mind whether to try it or not.
Changing the past is actually too tempting for Qin Zheng!
Suddenly, Xiaobai, who had been cheerfully and busy, stopped, raised his head and looked out of the cave in shock, and then disappeared directly in front of Qin Zheng.
It seemed that there was something outside the cave that he was particularly afraid of.
Qin Zheng looked at the entrance of the cave suspiciously, but didn't hear any movement for a while.
Although he has known Xiaobai for more than ten years, Qin Zheng still doesn't know him at all.
He was also curious about his origin before, and secretly followed him when he left, but he found that he couldn't keep up with Xiao Bai at all.
Xiaobai can go to the sky and escape from the earth, while Qin Zheng only has two legs. Although Qin Zheng has studied in the Tianque School for more than 20 years, he does not know any skills of flying to the sky and escaping from the earth.
After he left the cave, he ran around like a wild horse, and Qin Zheng gave up after losing a few times.
He wasn't particularly curious anyway, just bored.
Qin Zheng, who was full, took the scroll and lay down on the bed with his legs crossed, still debating whether to try it.
During the 20 years in the world, Qin Zheng gradually discovered that he didn't seem to grow old.
I counted with my fingers, and I was almost 50 years old, but except for the gray hair, there was nothing in my body that looked like a 50-year-old person.
But the state of my body seems to have stayed in my 20s.
Qin Zheng didn't learn any spells well when he was in the Tianque School. When he was expelled from the master, when he heard that he would be expelled for 20 years, he complained that the master's punishment was too harsh.
However, I realized later that the master actually knew that he would not grow old.
20 years is like a blink of an eye for a long life.
This discovery made Qin Zheng feel panic at the same time. He wanted to spend decades in a daze and turn into loess to die, but found that he couldn't die, he could only suffer.
Gradually, Qin Zheng began to count the time, hoping that he could return to that place after the expiry of the exile, even if he could not become a fairy, he would find a way to become a mortal again.
However, today's encounter at Tianque Temple shattered Qin Zheng's hope of returning to the sect.
Suddenly, Qin Zheng seemed to have figured it out, sat up from the bed, picked up the wooden pen that had been standing all the time, and wrote the time he had already thought about in the blank space of the scroll.
Every time a character is written, that character will emit a light blue light.
After writing the time completely on the scroll, the whole scroll was filled with blue light, surrounded by this blue light, Qin Zheng gradually lost consciousness.
