Wei Fuyuan was very nervous, but according to Beiquan's instructions, he took off his coat, wearing only a thin lining, and walked slowly into the pool of sentient beings step by step.
If he had to describe it, Wei Fuyuan felt that the moment he entered the pool, the feeling was somewhat similar to the "sympathy" he had experienced countless times.
A sense of dizziness struck, and his vision first bloomed, then suddenly darkened.
Different from the previous experience of empathy, Wei Fuyuan did not have a sense of conscious fragmentation this time.
He was well aware of how all this had changed until a completely different vision appeared before his eyes.
…
"Snapped!"
The scabbard fell heavily on Wei Fuyuan's body.
"Snapped!"
one more time.
"Snapped!"
A third hit followed.
Wei Fuyuan could feel the pain of the flesh breaking open, and he could hear the groan that he desperately suppressed in his throat, but at the same time, he knew very well that he couldn't do anything, not even scream. Endure the almost suffocating pain with my previous self.
While being tortured, the memories washed away by Meng Po Tang appeared scene by scene in Wei Fuyuan's mind.
He remembered where he came from and why he fell into such a field.
The surname of Wei Fuyuan in the previous life is Li, and his ancestral home is a county in the southwest, which is an important hub of the Tea Horse Road.
He was born in a big and famous local family. The family runs his own caravan and the business of tea, salt and horse food. He is very rich.
The head of the Li family's generation was Wei Fuyuan's biological father in his previous life. He was the second in the family, with an elder brother who was six years older than him, and a younger brother who was eight years younger than him.
Wei Fuyuan, or Li Ershao, his eldest brother traveled to the Western Regions with the caravan when he was an adult, going back and forth on the Tea Horse Road, and only stayed at home for four months a year.
And Li Ershao also aspired to inherit his father's business from a young age, and traveled with the horse team like his eldest brother.
However, Li Ershao didn't have time to wait until he became an adult, and the accident happened.
He was fourteen years old that year.
At the end of the Yuan Dynasty's reign, the current situation was turbulent, civil strife occurred frequently, and the country was fragmented and chaotic.
At that time, King Liang, who was stationed in the southwest, was loyal to the Yuan Dynasty, but anyone who was reported to be plotting evil was suppressed with an iron fist, and the Li family was also implicated.
The whole family was copied, and the end was destroyed.
At that time, Li Er was only a half-year-old boy, and he didn't understand many things.
He didn't know what crime his family had committed, but he only knew that one day, dozens of vicious government officials broke into their home, regardless of gender, age, or child, all of them were shackled and imprisoned, the mansion was sealed, and all the family members All property was searched one by one.
The huge Li Mansion, a century-old ancestral property, was destroyed overnight.
And he has also changed from the second young master of the Li family to a guilty person.
The court charged the Li family with smuggling weapons. The adult men in the clan were sentenced to be beheaded after the autumn, the women served as servants, and the underage boys were sentenced to exile for thousands of miles, heading north to war-torn places...
…
Wei Fuyuan relived the unbearable memories of his previous life, while secretly admiring himself in his previous life.
Living in a peaceful era, he was favored since he was a child and has no worries about food and clothing. It is really hard to imagine that a fourteen-year-old child, his family was destroyed overnight, and he was exiled thousands of miles away in an era of turmoil... Really alive Immortality is a miracle.
It was early autumn when Li Ershao was escorted on the road by the officials. He was accompanied by several juniors in the clan, as well as his six-year-old younger brother.
The officers were not expected to be held accountable for missing the deadline. They had to rush the prisoners to the northern Xinjiang before the heavy snow blocked the road. Along the way, they drove the group of half-children along the way, like driving animals. Beat and scold.
Before walking out of the southwest boundary, Young Master Li, the youngest and weakest, developed a high fever due to contracting the cold.
Seeing that the younger brother was burned into confusion, Li Ershao was anxious, and the officers and soldiers who were begging for escort together with several cousins were kind and helped the younger brother to find a mate. For this, he also took out the gold earrings that his mother had told him to hide in his jacket when he was leaving.
But the officials only stole his golden earrings, and also seized the valuables hidden by the people, and then beat the disobedient Li Ershao severely, and drove them on the road with a leather whip and a waist knife the next day.
Finally, two days later, Li Sanshao, who was on the verge of burning, lay on his brother's back, silently closed his eyes, and never woke up again.
However, the officer didn't even give the Li family's boys time to bury their younger brother, and threw the tiny corpse in the wasteland...
…
Wei Fuyuan relived this experience in Li Ershao's memory. While he was extremely angry, he also felt the deeper resentment and hatred of himself in his previous life.
Li Ershao's resentment is like the boiling magma sleeping in the depths of a volcano, just waiting for one day to erupt suddenly.
The death of his younger brother was an opportunity for the outbreak.
That night, Ershao Li stole a waist knife while dragging his unhealed back injury, leaving several sleeping officials behind, killing them all.
Even if they kill people, they are still the officers responsible for escorting them, so Li Ershao and a few boys from the Li family can't even keep their status as "exiles".
They had to become fugitives, become bandits, and joined a group of bandits nearby...
…
When the memories of his previous life were recalled here, Wei Fuyuan felt more and more confused while empathizing.
He originally thought that in his previous life, he should have eaten fast and recited Buddha all day long, thinking about how to build bridges and pave roads, and save all beings.
Since he has fallen into trouble, naturally he will not be a good person.
As a mountain bandit, if you don’t kill people, set fires, and commit all kinds of crimes, you’re already a righteous thief. How can you do good deeds and accumulate virtue
It may be that Li Ershao did not leave a deep impression in his memory for a long period of time, so when he recalled it, it was as if the video tape had been fast-forwarded, and it quickly flashed in his mind. And passed.
A full ten years have passed.
Li Ershao has grown from a fourteen-year-old boy to a handsome twenty-four-year-old.
In the past ten years, the rule of the imperial court has become more and more unbearable, and the situation has become more and more chaotic.
In troubled times, there is no shortage of heroes, and the leader of the cottage is a ruthless character who can be called a hero for a while.
Under his control, the cottage quickly absorbed the refugees and wanderers in the vicinity, from a scale of 100 to 10,000, and erected its own banner, calling itself "King of Xiyue", and became a small armed force.
Li Ershao was also named a "general" by the King of Xiyue because of his bravery and extraordinary skills...
…
Wei Fuyuan borrowed Li Ershao's memory to look back on the ten years of his previous life, and felt that although he was a bandit, he should be a good person overall.
Although he also murdered and sold goods, he never forgot his origin and maintained his own limits. Not only himself, but also restrained his subordinates. He only robbed officials of the Yuan Dynasty, and never did anything to the common people.
Of course, from the perspective of Wei Fuyuan as a modern person, even so, what Li Ershao has done in the past ten years is still full of flaws, but considering that he will come this far, he is forced to , and in such a situation, maintaining a conscience at all costs is already commendable, and it is not easy.
- But, this is not a kind of good deeds, right
Wei Fuyuan was still very puzzled.
Memories are still moving forward.
In the same year, the domestic unrest became more and more serious. In addition to sending troops to reinforce the court, King Liang also paid more and more attention to the rebel forces in his jurisdiction.
Finally, the bandit army approached the area where the King of Xiyue was entrenched.
The King of Xiyue has some military strategies. Relying on his familiarity with the nearby terrain, he took his generals and soldiers to hide in the mountains and forests. Peekaboo.
As a "general" highly valued by the boss, Li Ershao led about 2,000 "elite soldiers" and fought against the imperial army for many times.
One day, a scout under Li Ershao came to report that a court army of more than 2,000 people was about ten miles away from them in the southeast. look.
Li Ershao naturally wanted to find out who was being pursued.
The spies didn't answer clearly, but looking at the services of those people, it might be an unknown small tribe of foreigners in the mountains.
The southwestern mountains are densely forested, the terrain is rugged and complex, and there are many tribes.
Many tribes are too remote and have little contact with the outside world. Even local residents may not even know of their existence. Li Ershao is not surprised by this.
He looked at the map and confirmed that if the imperial army continued to move along the south bank of the river valley, it would only get further and further away from the camp where they were currently hiding, and it should not pose a threat to them for the time being.
If it was according to Li Ershao's usual character, he should have been safe, regardless of this team of chasing soldiers.
But I don't know why, Li Ershao moved his heart of compassion that day.
He immediately announced the withdrawal of the camp and led his troops to drive up...
…
Wei Fuyuan experienced that encounter more than 600 years ago from the perspective of Li Ershao.
In Li Ershao's memory, the details of the battle were very clear and vivid.
This is because it is the hardest and most dangerous battle Li Ershao has ever experienced so far.
It happened in the open area of the river valley. The bandits lost the cover of mountains and forests and the advantage of familiar terrain. They could only fight head-to-head with the imperial army. Moreover, it was still 3,000 to 2,000, and their own troops were at a disadvantage. It made the battle even more difficult.
Fortunately, "General Li" finally won this tough battle with his brothers.
It's just a win, and Li Ershao's "elite troops" also suffered heavy losses, with nearly half of the casualties.
