#1 - Chapter 1: Gu Yue Yi Xin
"Gu Yue Yi, Xin?"
"I didn't expect things to be so bad in my past life, and even worse in this life. I actually transmigrated to Qing Mao Mountain..." A handsome young man looked at the distant mountains with a bitter expression, muttering to himself.
He was originally a corporate slave on Blue Star, working an incredibly stressful 007 schedule, constantly working overtime. He had planned to go to the toilet for a paid break after finishing the seventh revision requested by the client and relax by reading 'Reverend Insanity,' but he died on the spot.
He didn't get to finish his paid break, nor did he get to read the book.
"Alas, why bother? It's all over now. It would have been fine if I had just died like that, but I never expected to transmigrate, and to the Gu world at that, starting with the Qing Mao Mountain arc."
Gu Yue Yi Xin smiled helplessly.
He had been transmigrated to the Gu world for two days, and unlike the other extraterrestrial demons in the original novel, he had actually received the memories of the original owner of the body.
However, the price was that he had been feeling physically and mentally exhausted for the past two days, as the original owner's memories constantly flooded his mind, merging and intertwining with his own.
Therefore, his impression of this strange world became clearer and clearer, and he became more and more certain of the fact that he had transmigrated to the Gu world.
In addition, he felt that his observation skills had improved a lot compared to his previous life, perhaps because he had absorbed the original owner's soul, which had enhanced his own soul.
"Yi Xin, are you daydreaming again?" A gentle call pulled Gu Yue Yi Xin back from his wandering thoughts.
"Ah, Mom, have you finished eating? I'll go wash the dishes." Yi Xin was startled, scratching his head awkwardly, and walked towards the dining table under the woman's gentle gaze.
In the soft morning light, there was a young and beautiful woman with smooth, silky hair, casually scattered. A few strands of hair swayed gently in the morning breeze. The sunlight shone through the sheer curtains, casting a glow on her pale face. Her eyes were deep and bright, as if hiding endless stories and tenderness, and beneath the tenderness, there was a fortitude that was difficult for ordinary people to detect.
She was Gu Yue Yi Xin's mother, Gu Yue Qing Yao, and also his only relative in this world.
Just as Gu Yue Yi Xin finished packing his things and was telling his mother that he was going out to do odd jobs, a shout came from the door again:
"Yi Xin, are you up yet! We should get going."
Gu Yue Yi Xin quickly got up, patted the dust off his clothes, and hurried to open the door.
Outside the door was a middle-aged man with a beard. Gu Yue Yi Xin followed the memories in his mind and bowed to him:
"Sorry to keep you waiting, Brother Wang. I appreciate you coming in person."
Wang Bai was very pleased with his respectful attitude, proudly raised his head, and patted his shoulder.
"Let's go, Yi Xin. Master Dong Tu is paying one primeval stone for this job, enough for your mom's medicine for several days. You have to do a good job."
Then he raised his head, patted the bulging money bag at his waist, and strode away without looking back, ignoring Yi Xin's response.
Yi Xin quickly bowed to the others behind him, who didn't seem to care.
It turned out that although Yi Xin's surname was Gu Yue, his background was not very good.
His father was once a Rank 2 Gu Master of the Gu Yue clan, but he died while performing a mission outside the village, and his body has never been found. At that time, Yi Xin had just been born.
Being an orphan and a widow was already tragic enough, but Gu Yue Qing Yao fell seriously ill shortly after giving birth and receiving the bad news. She has been taking medicine constantly for more than ten years, but has not recovered.
As the saying goes, children from poor families mature early. Gu Yue Yi Xin had to work hard for life at a young age and strive for his mother's illness. Under heavy pressure, he left, and he happened to transmigrate into his body.
Yi Xin couldn't help but think: "Since I'm here, I'll take it easy. Since I owe you this favor and can live again, then your mother is also my mother. I will definitely fulfill your wish to make your mother healthy again."
Then he said goodbye to Gu Yue Qing Yao and silently followed to the end of the team.
"Fang Zheng, go and see how they are doing." Gu Yue Dong Tu put down his cup and instructed Gu Yue Fang Zheng.
Fang Zheng slowly stood up, his head lowered, his eyes glancing to the side.
In his sight, there was a young man sitting there quietly drinking tea.
His appearance was very similar to Fang Zheng's, but the difference in their temperament was huge.
Fang Zheng stood there timidly, as if he had great grievances, while the young man looked calm, his eyes as deep as an unfathomable ancient pool.
Gu Yue Dong Tu, who had been looking dignified, spoke to the other party diligently, but he seemed not to hear him, just drinking tea casually.
Gu Yue Dong Tu turned his head and caught a glimpse of Fang Zheng, frowning impatiently: "Why are you still dawdling here? Go quickly!"
Fang Zheng lowered his head even further, his mouth drooping, and finally took a deep look at his brother: Gu Yue Fang Yuan, and left.
Gu Yue Fang Yuan was still expressionless. He didn't look at Fang Zheng, nor did he pay attention to Dong Tu, just quietly drinking tea.
"Look at you, why are you still dawdling here! It's almost lunchtime, what? Do you want me to take care of your meal too!"
"Young Master Fang Zheng, don't be angry, I'll tell them to finish it right away." Wang Bai quickly ran to Fang Zheng's side with a smile.
"Hmph! That's more like it, hurry up and pour me a cup of tea."
Fang Zheng, a fifteen-year-old boy, had just been treated differently, and inevitably had some pent-up anger that he wanted to vent, so he ordered these outsiders somewhat impolitely.
"Yes, yes, yes, I'll pour you tea right away." Wang Bai, who was still hoping to earn money at Gu Yue Dong Tu's house, didn't care and followed his every step, fulfilling his requests.
"Yi Xin, go and send this vase to Master Dong Tu." Someone ordered.
"Okay, okay, I'll go right away."
Gu Yue Yi Xin came into the house and saw two people sitting by the window drinking tea, one in his 30s or 40s and one who looked about his age, but strangely, the older one kept trying to please the younger one, but the young man didn't pay much attention to him.
"Gu Yue Dong Tu's house..."
"Then he...he can't be Fang Yuan, right!"
"I met Fang Yuan as soon as I went out?!"
Yi Xin was shocked. When he thought of the ruthless and decisive Fang Old Demon in 'Reverend Insanity,' he couldn't help but panic. "I don't know which life he's in. If it's the second life, it's better to be careful, after all, I'm just an ordinary corporate slave from Blue Star. I really can't beat him."
"Mas...Master Dong Tu, where should I put this?" Yi Xin asked cautiously. He lowered his head, afraid that Fang Yuan would notice him.
"Just put it there." Gu Yue Dong Tu didn't bother to pay attention to him, glanced at it casually, and pointed to a place.
"Okay, Master."
Just as Yi Xin turned to walk over, Gu Yue Dong Tu's voice came again: "Eh? Aren't you Gu Yue Yi Xin's child?"
"Master, how do you know?" Yi Xin was puzzled. How did he know his original father? In the memories he received, there was no figure of Gu Yue Dong Tu.
Gu Yue Dong Tu looked him up and down again, nodded to confirm, and then, as if he saw the confusion in Yi Xin's eyes, said:
"You look quite like your parents. I recognized you at a glance."
Finally, he said again: "I was good friends with your father when he was alive. It's just a pity that he suffered an accident outside and died young, and even his body wasn't found. Alas, it's a pity, children without parents really don't have a good life, and have fallen to this point." Gu Yue Dong Tu shook his head with a look of regret.
Yi Xin frowned slightly: "Doesn't he know my parents? Doesn't he know that my mother is still alive? What are you babbling about?"
Moreover, Gu Yue Yi Xin found that although he was talking to himself, his eyes were glancing towards Fang Yuan.
"Orphans are really difficult, without a father or mother. If only you had a relative, that would be great."
Gu Yue Dong Tu's eyes were still on Fang Yuan, and he was still saying that Yi Xin's mother had passed away.
"People, if they lose their father, can still pretend to be strong and live on, but if they lose their mother..."
"Master! My mother is still alive! She's just sick!" Yi Xin interrupted his monologue. He stared fiercely into Gu Yue Dong Tu's eyes, with a serious and earnest expression, and a fiery light of anger in his eyes.
He was angry.
In the memories he felt, his mother was gentle and kind, raising him alone, but she was weak and often needed to take medicine, so the original owner often went to other people's houses to work as a helper to earn primeval stones.
Perhaps it was because the memories had not been merged for long, but the love for his mother made Gu Yue Yi Xin empathize. Although he had only spent a few days with her now, it didn't mean that Gu Yue Dong Tu could be indifferent and call his current mother dead!
His emotions erupted directly, even though Gu Yue Fang Yuan was sitting next to him.
"Oh...oh! Is that so?!"
"Hahaha, then I was wrong." Gu Yue Dong Tu laughed awkwardly, but no one paid attention to him.
At this time, Gu Yue Fang Yuan also put down his teacup and quietly looked at Yi Xin.
Yi Xin suppressed his emotions, put down the expensive vase, and left the house without saying a word.
Gu Yue Dong Tu greeted Gu Yue Fang Yuan with an embarrassed face: "This brat, he really can't calm down, he gets angry after saying a few words, he has no manners. Come, Fang Yuan, drink tea, drink tea."
"No, Uncle, it's getting late, I'll go back first."
Fang Yuan got up and left directly.
As soon as Fang Yuan walked away, Gu Yue Dong Tu slammed the cup on the table with a "pa": "Hmph, a bunch of brats, what are they pretending to be, they all need to be taught a lesson."
"Here, Yi Xin, here's your primeval stone, go buy medicine for your mom." Wang Bai picked out the smallest primeval stone from the bulging money bag at his waist and placed it in Yi Xin's hand.
"Thank you, Brother Wang." Yi Xin bent over and accepted the primeval stone from Wang Bai with both hands.
"Go, go." Wang Bai waved his hand, urging Yi Xin to leave.
Watching Gu Yue Yi Xin's figure gradually moving away, Wang Bai smiled helplessly at the buddies behind him: "So what if he's surnamed Gu Yue? If he's not a Gu Master, isn't he still living worse than me? Ah~ hahaha."
"The boss is still awesome, without you, he and his old mom would starve to death." Several people echoed.
"Hey, look at this little ghost, he's growing up pretty well, his old mom?" One of them smiled lewdly.
"I've seen her, she's really beautiful, but she's a widow and she's sick all over, her body is not good at all, hey, you might as well go to a brothel." Wang Bai couldn't help but laugh when he heard his subordinate's thoughts.
"Heh! Forget it, Master Dong Tu gave more than 30 primeval stones for this job, I'll splurge and take you there once, look at you guys." Wang Bai patted his money bag and strode away.
"Oh oh oh! Wait for us, boss!"
The weather was really good today. It rained lightly in the morning, and now it was clear and sunny, and the air was filled with the unique fragrance of Qing Mao bamboo.
Yi Xin's somewhat bad mood was constantly improving as he got closer and closer to home.
Although Gu Yue Dong Tu's words and attitude made him very angry today, he at least earned this primeval stone, which could cover his mother's medical expenses for several days.
Although life is still very difficult now, he believes that the knowledge and life experiences he learned on Blue Star may be able to earn some money in this Gu Yue village. When he has money, he will buy some good medicinal materials and ask some healing Gu Masters to treat her.
I really hope she can get better, Yi Xin couldn't help but hope.
"Mom, I'm back."
As soon as Yi Xin entered the door, he saw his mother getting out of bed and sitting by the window sewing clothes.
"Mom, the wind is strong outside, you're still opening the window, it's very cold."
Yi Xin quickly took the clothes from the bedside and put them on his mother. He squatted down and gently rubbed his mother's cold hands.
"It's okay, Yi Xin, the doctor said that you can walk around more often, and you'll get better quickly."
"Mom, I went to work with Brother Wang Bai at Gu Yue Dong Tu's place today and earned another primeval stone." Yi Xin smiled.
Gu Yue Qing Yao lovingly touched Yi Xin's hair: "Yi Xin is so good."
"Hehe, oh right, Mom, what are you doing?" Yi Xin wondered about the clothes in his mother's hands.
"Yi Xin, tomorrow is the Awakening Ceremony, Mom is making you a new set of clothes. If you wear this, you will definitely have a good aptitude." Gu Yue Qing Yao looked at the clothes in her hand, and a sense of nostalgia rose in her eyes.
Yi Xin's heart also sank, "Awakening Ceremony... I didn't expect it to start so soon, alas... I hope I can be lucky enough to become a Gu Master, in this crappy world, it's too difficult for mortals to live, especially since I'm still on Qing Mao Mountain, the countdown to death is hanging over my head."
Although Yi Xin's heart was filled with mixed feelings, he still smiled and said to Gu Yue Qing Yao: "Thank you, Mom, when I become a Gu Master, I will definitely cure Mom's illness."
"Okay, Mom is waiting for you."
"Hehehe."
Time always passes quickly, and the night is gradually getting deeper. Yi Xin settled his mother down to sleep, washed the dishes, carefully put the herbs in his bedside cabinet, and went out to water the vegetable garden.
"Heh~ Today's life is really interesting." Gu Yue Yi Xin gave a helpless wry smile. The surprise of rebirth and transmigration, the panic of seeing Fang Yuan, the disgust for Gu Yue Dong Tu, and the worries about the future life, etc., made him experience all kinds of emotions today.
In his exhaustion, he only knew that his mother smiled happily today, and he was also very happy. He hoped that the Awakening Ceremony tomorrow would be even happier.
"Gu Yue Yi Xin, right?" A cold voice interrupted Yi Xin, who was working.
All the hairs on Yi Xin's body stood on end as he abruptly turned around, only to see a young man standing silently by the field.
He was dressed in black, with his hair hanging loose, and his deep, indifferent eyes gave him a unique air.
"Excuse me... excuse me, are you...?" Yi Xin asked, nervously clenching his hands, cold sweat pouring out. He had seen this young man before, though only once, but he would never forget him.
It was the young man who had been drinking tea with Gu Yue Dong Tu.
Gu Yue Fang Yuan!
No way, why is he looking for me? Could it be!
Fang Yuan casually glanced at Yi Xin, noticing his nervousness but paying it no mind. He simply said, "Don't go to the Awakening Ceremony tomorrow. Find a doctor and stay with your mother. Otherwise, you'll regret it for the rest of your life."
Having said that, he turned and left.
"What do you mean?" Although Yi Xin was flustered, he immediately followed Fang Yuan when he mentioned his mother.
Fang Yuan must be the Fang Yuan from the second life. He knows my future!
"What I mean is, make sure your mother is alright before you go to the Awakening Ceremony. It's not too late then," Fang Yuan stopped and turned to look at Yi Xin.
"Thank... thank you. I wasn't thinking clearly. The Awakening Ceremony lasts a long time. If something happens to my mother..." Yi Xin understood the meaning of Fang Yuan's words.
"Um, may I ask who you are?" Yi Xin asked as Fang Yuan walked away.
This time, Fang Yuan didn't stop or reply. He just kept walking, gradually disappearing into the darkness.
"Fang Yuan..."
Yi Xin stared intently in the direction Fang Yuan had left. At this moment, his heart was filled with mixed feelings, like a turbulent river, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.
He looked back at the house with the light still on. His mother was already asleep. After watching for a long time, he seemed to make up his mind and immediately ran towards the medical clinic.
It was such a quiet night, and most people were asleep, after all, tomorrow was the rather important Awakening Ceremony, and everyone wanted to be well-rested.
But there were two people still walking in the middle of the night. One was calm, moving slowly, as if he had everything in the world under his control.
The other was anxious, running all the way, as if the confusing and treacherous future was about to swallow him.
"Consider this a repayment for your help in my previous life, Gu Yue Yi Xin. Thank you."
Fang Yuan murmured, looking at the crescent moon in the sky.
This was the first thing he changed after being reborn through the Spring Autumn Cicada, and what will this slight twist of fate bring?
