Tiandao doesn't work today

In April of the first year of Taixi, the impact of the disaster finally passed.

Jiang Shouyi returned to his hometown of Chashan Village and resettled. Because he had money to buy land, he became a good citizen again.

He took his grandson and worked hard to cultivate the land, thinking that the days of peace were finally coming.

However, it was also this month that the founding emperor of the Jin Dynasty suddenly passed away due to a serious illness, and he was posthumously named Emperor Wu!

All the princes were young, but Prince Sima Zhong was the oldest. He immediately ascended the throne and changed his reign to Yongping.

The image is always at peace.

However, the new king, Sima Zhong, was born with dementia and was unable to serve. A year later, all the vassal kings and clans rebelled one after another and conquered each other.

All of a sudden, the heroes were divided, one founded a country, and the other proclaimed himself emperor! Only ten years after the Jin Dynasty ended the troubled times, the world was once again in chaos!

There are wars and troubles all over Kyushu, and war is everywhere! Famine and war continue, and the people are in dire straits!

Yongping three years.

In order to supply King Qi's "Qingjun side", Langya County continued to increase taxes, and the people all broke their homes, sold themselves into households, or became bandits.

Chashan Village was first exploited by tax collectors and then ran amok by bandits.

Jiang Shouyi stepped forward, united the villagers, formed a stronghold to defend themselves, and fought hard for several days. Finally, he forced the bandits back, saved the last food, and survived the winter.

In order to save grain for the second year of farming, the four-year-old Yannu only lived on hay.

"Yan Nu'er, I'm sorry for you. When peace comes next year, I will make noodle soup for you." In the cold winter month, Jiang Shouyi hugged Yan Nu and burst into tears.

"Yeah!" Yan Nu took a big mouthful of grass and ate it with gusto. He didn't know what he was sorry for.

There were still obvious blood marks on his waist, which circled around.

Outsiders thought it was a birthmark, but only Jiang Shouyi knew that it was an injury that had not healed since he was cut in half when he was a child.

It takes a hundred days for muscles and bones to break, and it takes more than ten days for a hand to grow back if it is cut while chopping firewood. If it was cut off at the waist, it would probably take at least several years to fully heal.

Although it is strange to say that even a broken waist is called an injury, this is what Yan Slave is like.

"Aweng said to wait for peace, what is peace?" Yan Nu's big eyes were full of curiosity.

A longing smile appeared on Jiang Shouyi's face: "It means that the world will be peaceful and free from chaos, and we people can live a good life without being bullied."

"Is it coming next year?" Yan Nu smiled when he saw Aweng, who had always been frowning. He thought that it must be a very beautiful thing, and he couldn't help but want to see it himself.

After listening to his grandson's words, Jiang Shouyi looked back at the wars and wars of his youth. Before the Jin Dynasty, the world had been in chaos for hundreds of years. Now that it has been unified for more than ten years, it is time for a prosperous age.

So he nodded firmly: "Of course, next year it will definitely be peaceful."

Yongping four years.

The refugees in Donglai rebelled against the bandits and wreaked havoc in Langya territory.

Its leader called himself "Tianyi Gong" and attacked the city under the banner of "Tianyi Old Immortal, boundless magic power, saving the world, peace and eternal life".

The major wealthy families have stepped up their recruitment of troops, and the garrison troops in Langya's cities have been stationed in the city. After a month of fruitless attacks, the rebels looted major villages and finally headed west.

The harvest in Chashan Village was poor because the people had too few seeds and too much wasteland at the beginning of spring. It was also looted by insurgent soldiers, and the people had no food or clothing.

Jiang Shouyi took Yannu and dozens of fellow villagers and fled into the mountains to make a living by digging wild roots.

Yannu still ate grass. He didn't know why the villagers and Aweng wanted to eat the unpalatable wild roots. He tasted them once and thought they were not as delicious as grass!

"Are they Taiping?" Yan Nu asked, pointing to the large and small groups of troops at the foot of the mountain. He had heard this group of people shouting about Taiping and Yongnian.

"No! No! They are all rebels! Robbers!" Jiang Shouyi's eyes were red. Their village was looted, and countless familiar faces were taken away.

"Those who don't give us a way to survive are all evil people. The government will definitely put them down. When the government army arrives, we will have peace."

Yongping five years.

Gou Xi, the powerful general of the Jin Dynasty, commanded an army of 30,000 to defeat the bandits. The two armies faced off at the junction of Qingxu Prefecture.

There were monsters among the rebels who were good at changing their ways and infiltrated into the army to disrupt military orders, spread rumors, and burn down granaries, causing the Jin army to be defeated.

Gou Xi gathered the defeated troops and fled to various counties in Qingzhou, marching to Langya County. Because morale was low and the local wealthy people were unwilling to work, he allowed the army to march into the countryside.

Not a grain of grain was left in Chashan Village, and the cries were loud. Soon after, the entire village was thrown into the hands of a local wealthy family and became serfs. All the farmland in Chashan Village belonged to the Zhang family of Huaxian County and was renamed Chashan Castle.

The six-year-old Yan Nu was now half a man tall. There were only faint marks on his body, but he was basically healed.

Now he is barefoot, chewing hay, and helps work in the fields to cultivate land for the wealthy family.

He asked innocently: "Aweng, is it peaceful?"

Jiang Shouyi looked miserable and said angrily: "Good boy, this is not peace..."

"Although they are government troops, they are more hateful than rebels. The court will definitely punish them severely."

Yan Nu was very curious: "Is there peace after the severe punishment from the court?"

How could Jiang Shouyi know? He swung the hoe and thought for a while, then said: "The King of Qi raised an army a few years ago to rebel against the emperor. The chaos in the world is caused by the rebellion of treacherous ministers. When the King of Qi succeeds, there will be peace."

Yongping six years.

The King of Qi defeated the usurping King of Zhao, and after the success of the Qing Dynasty, he granted amnesty to the whole country and won over the generals.

As a result, Gou Xi, who was full of criticism, was promoted to General Pingdong despite his merits, and was transferred to Yanzhou to continue to quell the rebellion...

However, before Gou Xi left, he forcibly recruited people and robbed 60,000 laborers from various counties to build roads and bridges and transport supplies.

Jiang Shouyi and Yan Nu worked extremely hard along the way, and the soldiers whipped them like prisoners.

"Aweng, Aweng, has peace come?" Yan Nu couldn't help but ask as he heard the loud crying in his ears.

Jiang Shouyi held Yan Nu in his arms and gritted his teeth and said, "They won't give us a way to survive. We have to find our own way..."

The war started, and Jiang Shouyi, who was among the rebels, took Yan Nu and took advantage of the chaos to escape.

On the way, Jiang Shouyi fought tooth and nail to kill four sergeants. Yan Nu was stabbed more than twenty times, but nothing happened.

Finally, with the help of Yan Nu, who was only seven years old, Weng and Sun escaped back to their hometown.

Yongping seven years.

The king of Nansha also cleared his side, broke through the imperial city, and killed the king of Qi among the rebels.

An immortal killed the demon among the rebels, and the court issued an order to pardon the rebels and only punish the culprits. One month after tomorrow, Duke Yi was killed by his men, and 120,000 rebels were transferred to the Jin army, all under Gou Xi's command.

Gou Xi proposed to conquer General Dong because of his meritorious service in Zhao'an! Governor of the four counties of Taishan, Langya, Pingchang and Beihai!

Jiang Shouyi finally returned to his hometown, but Gou Xi then ordered the second- and third-rate wealthy families in each county to provide funds for labor and men to repair the city.

As a result, the wealthy families complained and the people suffered terribly.

The eight-year-old Yannu, holding grass in his mouth, naked to the waist and barefoot, ran around at the foot of the city wall, delivering water to the workers.

When Jiang Shouyi was sent to him, he asked, "Ah, Ah, is this peace?"

Jiang Shouyi stroked Yan Nu's head with one hand, poured down a large bowl of water, and said with force, "Good boy, wait a little longer, wait a little longer... we will soon be in peace..."

"After we build this city, we can go home and farm. It will be fine if we work a little harder. We will be fine next year."

Yongping eight years. There is a severe drought in Qingzhou, and the red land is thousands of miles away.

Tens of thousands of refugees stormed wealthy manors, besieged Wubao, and robbed granaries.

The Zhang family in Huaxian County distributed weapons to the tenant farmers and ordered all the forts under his name to defend them. Jiang Shouyi also picked up the knife and stood on the wall of Chashan Castle to fight for his life.

Finally, Gou Xi's army arrived ten days later. After killing the refugees, he asked the army to enter Chashan Fort for repairs.

The Zhang family in the fort refused to open the door. Gou Xi was furious and ordered an attack. Chashan Fort was massacred.

A fire burned down the whole village, and only a few households of the former Chashan Village residents were lucky enough to escape.

Gou Xi was known as the Great Bandit, and had beheaded more than ten thousand people!

Jiang Shouyi desperately fled up the mountain with Yan Nu and escaped disaster. When he came back, the land was devastated and littered with corpses. Countless familiar faces had been killed.

"Aweng..." Yan Nu found a few pieces of blood-stained grass and stuffed them into his mouth before he finished speaking.

Jiang Shouyi knelt on the ground and sobbed, grabbed the scorched earth on the ground, and sobbed: "No... nothing is gone..."

"Everyone is dead...all is dead..."

Yan Nu squatted aside: "Aweng, what will happen if you die?"

"I just can't see him again..." Jiang Shouyi stood up and hugged Yan Nu.

However, Yan Nu pointed to the corpse hanging not far away: "Aren't Uncle Big Tou, Aunt Cha, Alian, Xiao Quanzi, etc. all there?"

"But they will never speak again, never call you Yan Nuer, and will never move again." Jiang Shouyi wailed.

Yannu couldn't help but burst into tears when he saw Aweng was so sad.

Jiang Shouyi wiped away his tears with rough hands: "Yan Nu'er, don't cry... don't cry..."

Yan Nu was obedient, wiped away his tears and said, "Aren't you happy if you cry?"

"Yes, Aweng likes to see you laughing."

Yan Nu immediately burst out with a moving smile, warm and brilliant.

Jiang Shouyi also showed a bitter but strong smile, feeling excited again in his heart.

"Good boy, you have such a beautiful smile. I like it." He was a bad old man. He wanted to die countless times, but he still had to live desperately for Yan Nu.

It seemed like he lived just for this smile.

"Come on, let's go into the mountains! Yannu, you eat grass, and Aweng digs wild roots! Let's come back when there's peace..." Jiang Shouyi said firmly.

He couldn't help but feel lucky that Yan Nu was so easy to feed and had been eating grass all these years... He could still keep warm in the winter...

Thinking of this, Jiang Shouyi felt sad. He was so useless, and he never gave Yan Nu a good life. Instead, he relied on Yan Nu to survive many difficult moments.

"Will it be peaceful when you come back?" Yan Nu asked.

Jiang Shouyi nodded heavily: "Yes! That Gou Xi has offended the wealthy family, and his good days are numbered!"

Yongping nine years.

The king of Donghai raised troops to Qingjun's side, and Gou Xi led his army to respond.

In order to prevent a fire in the rear, the King of Donghai asked Langya Wang, the leader of Shilin, to come forward, which temporarily suppressed the resentment of the wealthy family and eased the tense relationship between Gou Xi and the wealthy family.

Soon after, Gou Xi was promoted to General of the Eastern Expedition due to his meritorious service in battle.

Each family then restrained itself, recruited refugees, trained local warriors, reclaimed wasteland, and recuperated.

The tea mountain forest was cleared, and Jiang Shouyi could no longer make a living. He was forced to go down the mountain to cultivate land, and became a slave under the name of a wealthy family.

The ten-year-old Yannu was struggling to pull the plow while swallowing grass.

Jiang Shouyi was also plowing the ground with sweat on his side. His skin was withered and black, like smoked bacon.

"Aweng, Aweng, when will the world be peaceful?"

"Wait a moment... wait until those feudal kings are at peace, then good times will come."

Yongping ten years.

The King of Donghai invaded the imperial capital, killed the King of Nansha, and took control of the government.

He conquered the east and west, suppressed the rebellion of the feudal kings, and immortals came to congratulate him. For a while, the princes surrendered.

Gou Xi successfully quelled the chaos and was promoted to governor of Qingzhou! Governor of the nine counties of Qingzhou!

He became more and more arrogant and domineering, preying on the common people, enriching his treasury with gold and jade, and his relationship with the wealthy families became bad again, and conflicts continued within the country.

Young and old like the grandfather and grandson can only work hard, clearing land during the day, chopping firewood and burning bricks for the wealthy family at night, getting up early in the morning to fetch water, and then continue to cultivate land.

However, even so, after autumn, they will still go to build Wubao for the wealthy people.

In the cold winter, Jiang Shouyi relied on Yan Nu to keep him warm, and repaired the wall outside the 'New Tea Mountain Castle' on a snowy night.

"Aweng, has Taiping come yet?"

Jiang Shouyi said almost numbly: "The war is over. The world will be at peace. Next year...next year things will get better."

The eleventh year of Yongping. The barbarians rebelled.

The various clans and tribes that originally relied on the Jin Dynasty to help quell the chaos and took the opportunity to grow stronger, raised armies one after another, ravaged the northern land, massacred and looted.

They were ferocious and unstoppable, and possessed strange powers and sorcery. In just a few months, they swept across the north and south of the river and traveled to various states.

Yongzhou, Bingzhou, Youzhou, Jizhou, and Yuzhou were in chaos one after another, and dozens of counties and cities fell.

Countless hungry people were forced to rebel, form armies to protect themselves, and fled to various places, desperate for food.

Gou Xi sat in Qingzhou and continuously increased the amount of tax, and the wealthy families frantically built forts and trained troops. The heavy hard labor made the life of the grandfather and grandson even more difficult.

One day, Jiang Shouyi was seriously ill and Yan Nu became anxious. Hearing that there was good medicine in the warehouse of the martial arts training ground, he went straight in to get the medicine and fed it to Aweng.

Afterwards, he was whipped half to death under the orders of the nobles in the castle, and almost died.

Seeing his grandson's miserable condition, Jiang Shouyi felt extremely distressed and regretted letting him be an ordinary person: "Next time, you must not be so impulsive and offend the nobles... If something happens to you, how will Aweng survive?"

Although Yan Nu was miserable, he still stubbornly said: "In what way are you nobler than us?"

Jiang Shouyi was stunned: "Noble people study more and have the knowledge to govern the world..."

Thinking of the chaos in the world, he changed his words: "Most of the wealthy nobles have had gods. The gods are immortal, can call the wind and rain, and have unimaginable power for mortals. They are very powerful..."

Yan Nu suddenly understood: "So being immortal and having great power makes you noble?"

Jiang Shouyi couldn't explain clearly at the end of his words, so he just said: "We are all untouchables. When the world is peaceful and you can live a good life, Aweng will be satisfied."

Yan Nu asked: "Can Taiping really wait?"

"Yes..." Jiang Shouyi murmured numbly: "I heard that the noble family wants to invite gods to be born, and the gods will create peace."

In the twelfth year of Yongping, monsters were born in the year of great disaster, and evil spirits were born in the great chaos.

Now the chaos has been going on for more than ten years, and the world is gradually filled with monsters and evil spirits!

There is a big golden-horned demon in Bingzhou, ten feet long, leading beasts to eat humans and livestock like sheep! Three hundred girls a day!

Countless heroes went to crusade, only to become the meal of the 100,000 wolves under his command.

There is a drought in Yongzhou that is devastating to the world. It neither lives nor dies. Wherever it passes, not even a blade of grass grows!

Twelve San people in Jiming Mountain were born with swords to defeat demons, but they fell into Tianshui and turned into zombies.

In Qingzhou, there are nine dragons that pull up the mountain, and a giant blue and white peak rises from the flat ground. The climbers are struck by the calamity cloud.

Eighteen demons live in it, setting up eighteen levels of purgatory to torture the immortals. It is known as the "Nine Dragon Demon Cave".

Seeing this chaos, they finally woke up the family members and asked their own immortals to be born to subdue the devil.

Little do they know that there are powerful people among the barbarians. Since the previous dynasty, it has attached great importance to the development of the Central Plains, and now it has become a trend!

They join forces with demons, which is extraordinary.

On the other hand, among the monks in the Central Plains, there were only a few who responded. The great masters of the Immortal Family are all in a leisurely state of mind, elegant and unrestrained, hiding from the world and living far away in the mountains and seas.

Those who occasionally respond are doing so casually! It comes in the air and leaves as soon as it's said...

The secular situation in the Jin Dynasty was also extremely unfavorable. The top aristocratic families and first-class families suffered heavy losses. They simply gave up their ancestral land and retreated to the war-free Jiangnan to cultivate their lives.

All the wealthy families moved their clothes and clothes southward, making the barbarians in the north even more arrogant.

Only many local small and medium-sized powerful people stayed and inherited the property of the big families in the North.

"Ah, ah, ah, the nobles are all crying. It seems that some ancestor died?" Yan Nu gnawed on the grass and told the news he had inquired about.

Jiang Shouyi let out a long sigh. He knew that many of the immortals from the wealthy families in Langya County had died in the blue-white magic mountain that suddenly rose up thousands of miles away.

He looked a little confused, the world was getting harder and harder.

Looking at myself again, I am already over sixty years old, with gray hair, as thin as firewood, and my body is getting worse day by day, almost like a withered bone in the grave. How long can I stay with Yan Nu?

He hugged Yan Nu tightly and said feebly: "Remember, Aweng will die one day. Don't cry when the time comes, but live bravely and strongly."

Yan Nu murmured: "Stay alive..."

Jiang Shouyi stroked him: "Yes, alive. You can eat, laugh, miss, and protect the ones you love..."

"You are still young. If you survive, you will see peace one day."

Yan Nu nodded vigorously: "I know Aweng, I will continue to live!"

Yongping thirteen years.

A barbarian tribe named Tufa swept into Qingzhou.

Although the entire tribe only has 30,000 people, its military power is extremely fierce.

Gou Xi, the governor of Qingzhou, was shocked. While gathering a large army to respond to the enemy, he also ordered the powerful families of various counties to send troops to help.

However, the wealthy families hated him deeply, and they only sent some old, weak, sick and disabled people, and Jiang Shouyi was among them.

"Good boy, don't be afraid. Aweng is not here, so you have to be alone." Jiang Shouyi, with white hair on his head, said goodbye to Yan Nu with a weapon in hand.

The fourteen-year-old Yan Nu was almost as tall as him, with a lean body, dark skin, and big eyes as bright as stars.

Yan Nu was eager to try: "I want to go too, Yan Nu has never been separated from A Weng!"

"No! Don't!" Jiang Shouyi said seriously: "You must be obedient and wait for my return in peace in the fort. Remember not to cause trouble! Work hard..."

"Those noble people are born nobler than us. If they bully you and don't give you food, you can dig grass secretly..."

"If they beat or scold you, don't fight back, but if they want to kill you...you must run! Kill whoever blocks your way! Go for it with all your might!"

Jiang Shouyi didn't know if he could come back after leaving. He was too worried about Yan Nu.

Yan Nu is innocent and fearless, with a fiery nature. He is still a bit silly on weekdays, and he always can't figure out many common sense things.

On the other hand, once he has figured it out, he will never change what he has determined, and even ten cows cannot pull it back.

When you are here, you can still control him, but what will you do when you are gone?

Without Xue'er, Yan Nu's magic has stagnated. He can eat grass and other strange abilities, but he is still resting on his legacy as a baby.

Thinking of this, he asked again: "Remember, child... you still have a family member. Her name is Zhu Yanxue, and she is the noble daughter of the Zhu family in Anqiu..."

Jiang Shouyi has kept his promise over the years and has never been to the Zhu family's territory. He doesn't know what's going on with Xue'er. She will probably grow up to be a lady among everyone.

At this moment, he told Yan Nu everything about Xue'er, fearing that he would not have a chance to talk about it again in the future.

"Family?" Yan Nu scratched his head.

"Yes, you were all born by God. It was Aweng who picked you up..." Jiang Shouyi finally told his life experience. He didn't know whether he and Xue'er were brothers or sisters, so he just said that they were. family.

"If one day someone bullies you and you have nowhere to go, go find her. It doesn't matter if she doesn't recognize you. All you have to do is follow her and protect her. Even if you become a servant by her side, that's fine."

Jiang Shouyi knew that as long as Xue'er was by his side, Yan Nu would be even more magical, and he would have the capital to protect himself in this troubled time.

Although that might make it easier for him to get into trouble and be coveted by many bad people, at that time, there was nothing he could do about it. Maybe Yan Nu was not destined to be a mortal.

If he had known that the world would be in such chaos, he probably would not have let the two children separate.

"Xue'er grew up in a famous family and must be more sensible than you. If...if you think it makes sense, just listen to her."

"I understand... Aweng, you must come back soon." Yan Nu smiled warmly.

Jiang Shouyi reluctantly stroked Yan Nu's soft black hair: "Aweng will come back. I haven't brought you a good life yet."

Yan Nu grinned: "Oh! Aweng! When you come back, will the world be at peace?"

Jiang Shouyi smiled: "When the world is at peace, Aweng will come back."

…
