Chapter 1 Statue
The winter snow is clear, and the ground is covered with silver.
There are still some ice crystals left in the air, shining in the morning sun.
Xie Cheng was walking on the road where the snow had been swept away in a thin blue shirt, as if the biting chill did not exist at all.
It is always the coldest when the snow melts, especially in the early morning.
No one comes out normally.
However, today is the day when Shanyang County goes to the market every five days. Many vendors have set up stalls and are preparing to sell goods to subsidize their families' livelihoods.
There are also some people taking their children out to stroll around in the distance to see if they can buy what they need at the market.
Seeing all this, Xie Cheng sighed slightly in his heart.
Can't go back.
It has been three days since I came to this world similar to ancient China but full of mystery. From the initial confusion and fear to the helpless acceptance now.
For Xie Cheng, who has been orphan since childhood, it is not too difficult.
This body, which had endured his soul, drowned three days ago, was resurrected by his visitor from another world. His parents were extremely concerned about him and took care of him in every possible way, making him feel warm.
The young man of the family is rich and well-off. Although he has no entertainment such as the Internet, he is not too bad.
"Young Master, why are you wearing nothing?" A crisp and pleasant female voice came from behind Xie Cheng.
Immediately afterwards, a fragrant wind flew from behind, and a mink coat draped on Xie Cheng's body.
The girl walked around in front of Xie Cheng.
She was wearing a pink dress and a palm-sized brown gold-patterned armored box hung around her waist.
He looks like he is twelve or thirteen years old, with a small face with a pink and jade-carved face, exquisite and beautiful, and black hair shawl.
Two bags were tied with a red hair rope on my head, which was very cute.
But her expression was not very cute. She pinched her slim waist with both hands, pouted her tender red lips, and glared at Xie Cheng angrily.
"Hahaha, it's wrong for you to say this." Xie Chenglang laughed, pointed to the thin blue shirt on his body, and said, "How can this be called "not wearing anything? Okay, let's go to the market with me and tell me if you have anything you like."
"Yeah! Thank you, young master!" Xiu'er was still a child's character. When she heard that her son was willing to buy something for her, she immediately laughed and jumped to the market ahead.
As the maid of the third son of the Xie family, there will be no one who doesn’t know him in this Shanyang County, and you are not afraid of any danger.
“It seems good.”
Xie Cheng smiled, took off the mink coat on his body, hung it on his hand, and walked forward.
He has a special physique and has never feared the cold since he was a child. He feels hot when wearing a mink coat.
The little girl in Xiu'er put on thick clothes because she had just "recovered" and was afraid that she would get cold.
Although it inherits the memory of its predecessor, it is like a flash of things after all. From the perspective of the bystander, the personal experience is still much worse.
This is the first time he visited the ancient market.
The hawking, cheering, and bargaining sounds made Xie Cheng feel a little more real.
"Young Master, look, how about this jade pendant?" Xiu'er shouted from a small stall next to her. She held a warm and emerald jade pendant in her hand and greeted Xie Cheng, "Young Master, you have lost all your previous accessories, so you should buy another one."
The Xie family focused on family traditions and the rules were not very strict. In addition, Xie Cheng was once gentle, so Xiu'er and his son were not very restrained.
"Okay. Let's take a look." Xie Chengxinran agreed. In his eyes, Xiu'er looked like a cute little sister. He walked over and took the jade pendant and was about to look at it.
When he was on Earth, he was a student of the sculpture department of the Academy of Fine Arts and still had some appreciation for jewelry.
"Mr. Xie, Miss Xiu'er has such a good vision. This jade pendant is an ancient jade that has been around for hundreds of years. It was once played with by a powerful man in his airways. It is extraordinary. It costs ten taels of silver." The owner of the stall is an old man in his fifties. He talks loudly about this jade pendant.
"You are still strong, Old Man Song, why don't you say that this is a personal jewelry for a master of the divine realm?" Xie Cheng cursed with a smile. He knew the boss of the stall and knew his temperament. Although he likes to brag, the price will not be cheating. "Xiaoer, this jade pendant is not bad, please buy it."
Body, Qi, Spirit.
This world divides the realm of a cultivator into three levels. A strong Qidao person is a first-class upper-class person in the world, and a high-level divine realm person is a top-notch powerful person in the world.
"Okay!" Xiu'er happily took out ten taels of silver from the slanted armor box around her waist and handed it to Old Man Song, then tied a red rope to the jade pendant, and skillfully pinned it on Xie Cheng's belt, "Xiao'er is hung for you, Master. It looks so good!"
Ten taels of silver, ordinary families spend so much in a month.
However, for Xie Cheng, the third son of the Xie family, it was just a drizzle and not even a pocket book. It would be nice to make the little girl Xiu'er happy.
"Xiuer, don't just buy things for me, you can also see if you like it yourself..." Xie Cheng was about to ask Xiuer to pick something for himself, but his voice suddenly stopped, his mouth wide open, and he was stunned, his eyes full of shock.
"Young Master, Young Master! What's wrong with you? Don't scare me!" Xiu'er was panicked when he saw this and quickly grabbed Xie Cheng's arm, fearing that he would fall suddenly.
After all, my son almost drowned three days ago and has just recovered now. It is not that there are any sequelae.
While worried, Xiu'er looked at Xie Cheng's gaze and found that it was a piece of golden amber, which was very large and the size of a palm.
In addition, the things wrapped in this piece of amber are different from ordinary people, and there is a statue of a woman more than two inches tall.
"Old man Song, where did you come from?" Xie Cheng suddenly spoke, but his excitement could not be hidden in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "As long as you tell me the origin of this statue, I can give you another fifty taels of silver."
Xie Cheng understood the situation at Old Man Song's house, and fifty taels of silver were definitely a huge sum of money for him.
"That's true!" Old Man Song's eyes suddenly lit up, but it soon dimmed. He handed the amber to Xie Cheng and said, "This amber is priced at 10 taels. As for the origin, Mr. Xie, you know that I usually buy goods from outside wholesale.
The source of goods is usually from the merchants from Jinyang Fucheng. This amber is a goods that were transported three days ago, and I don’t know very well about the specific origin.”
Three days ago, Jinyang Prefecture City...
Xie Cheng frowned slightly. Shanyang County where he was located was under the jurisdiction of Jinyang Prefecture. According to the data in his memory, Jinyang Prefecture City should be more than one thousand miles away. If it is a Yanjia car, it will take two days to arrive.
Yanjia is an item made by Yanzhi, commonly known as mechanical art.
Making Yanjiao with materials such as gold, stone, iron and wood allows ordinary people to control extraordinary abilities.
This is the family tradition of the Xie family and one of the fundamentals based on Shanyang County.
In Xie Cheng's opinion, this is actually a type of mechanical products. Yanjia vehicles are similar to cars, but Yanzhi is much more magical than mechanical products on the earth.
For example, the slant box with Shuer has the effect of reducing weight and expanding space, which cannot be achieved by simply mechanical combinations.
"Xiao'er, give him fifty taels of silver." Xie Cheng said lightly, then turned around and left with the amber.
"Young Master! You wait for me!" Xiu'er hurriedly took out fifty taels of silver from the Yanjia box, threw it to Old Man Song, and hurriedly chased Xie Cheng.
...
Xie Cheng returned home, sent Xiu'er to cook ginseng soup, and locked himself in the room.
Then he took out the amber and stared blankly at the statue wrapped inside, with a look of joy and sorrow, which was very complicated.
The female appearance in ancient costumes, with willow eyebrows and phoenix eyes, crimson lips, clear appearance, graceful lines, and graceful sleeves. Although it is a wood carving, it looks like a real fabric, which shows the exquisite carving.
Its whole body is white, as if there is a glimmer of light.
The cuffs and chest are inlaid with golden silk lace, and a roll of bamboo slips with simple shapes are carved around the waist for decoration, which is extremely delicate.
"It's true, it's really!"
Xie Cheng widened his eyes and carefully looked at the statue in the amber over and over again. Finally, he was sure that this was his carefully carved girlfriend when he was on Earth in his previous life.
——As a high-quality play in the engraving department of the Academy of Fine Arts, I still know a lot of tricks and have a lot of tricks.
In reality, if you can't find a girlfriend, just carve one for yourself, such as the sinking fish, falling geese, and shy flowers, or modern beauty, ancient style, and whatever you want.
By the way, you can also imagine the kind of life mentioned in "Silk Play" where "When you hold me, I dance like flying, and when you lead me, I know how to advance and retreat, and follow my hardships and happiness, and never violate my every move."
That's what Xie Cheng thought.
So, he really started carving.
It took more than a month to finally carve my girlfriend.
It was already late at night. He slept for a while and woke up and found that he had traveled through time.
Xie Cheng never expected that he would see this statue again at a small stall.
"Is this statue coming with me? Or is there an inexplicable connection between the world and the earth?" Xie Cheng fell into deep thought.
However, according to what he knows now, the world is huge and incredible.
The Tang Dynasty where he was located alone was known as governing the 300 states in the world, each state spanning 100,000 miles away. There are other countries and divine dynasties outside the Tang Dynasty, and this world is beyond imagination.
There are also many powerful people who can move mountains and fill seas to change the celestial phenomena in legends, just like immortals and gods.
It is said that the heavy snow in Shanyang County last night was caused by the aftermath of the fight between two powerful airways more than ten miles away.
Will such a bizarre and huge world really have something to do with the earth?
Jinyang Prefecture City, you must go and see it if you have the chance in the future.
Bang bang!
At this moment, a knock on the door sounded.
"Zi Cheng, five days later, the adults from Jinyang Prefecture City will come to my Xie family to prepare for the official exam. You can prepare well." A thick and majestic voice came from outside the door. This was Xie Cheng's father Xie Yuanfeng.
Chapter completed!
