Chapter 483: The End of an Era
Seven days later.
Lin Ye walked out of the Taoist Canon.
Standing in the bamboo forest, he bowed in the direction of Daozang.
"Little Lin, did you gain anything?"
When Lao Shi saw Lin Ye's actions, he immediately asked curiously.
"I found another way, and it's a way that suits me very well."
"What road?"
“Rebirth!”
"Reincarnation, are you kidding me? The underworld is already incomplete, no one can be reincarnated."
"It's not about going to the underworld and being reborn, but about sealing your own memories in another form and living again with a different name and background."
Lao Shi pondered for a while, obviously thinking about the feasibility of this, and said after a long time: "This is indeed a way, but the premise is that there must be a protector. Otherwise, you will be killed before you recover your memory, and the loss will be great."
"So, this is where you can be used."
"You want me to be your protector, okay, no problem." Lao Shi agreed readily.
"You are just one of the protectors."
Lin Ye saw through Lao Shi's thoughts at a glance. If he let this guy be his protector, he didn't know where his life would go after his rebirth.
Just like the protagonists , there will be an old grandfather and a mysterious strong man to teach them, but if this mysterious strong man is unreliable, then the protagonist will go astray.
He would not leave his fate to Lao Shi.
In addition to Lao Shi, he also prepared two other protectors.
"I will be your protector?"
Li Qingqing's eyes lit up as she listened to Lin Ye's words.
"No problem, you and I are brothers, I will definitely protect you." Li Qingqing patted his chest and promised.
"Thank you."
Lin Ye rolled his eyes and turned away.
"Don't go, my Li Qingqing is such a reliable person."
…
Sword Saint's Thatched Cottage!
This is the most coveted holy place by all builders in the world, for the simple reason that not only lives a martial saint, but also a sword saint.
"Brother Jing, thank you for your help."
"Brother Lin, you are too polite. I also want to see the unique path that Brother Lin is taking."
The three protectors were soon found.
Lao Shi, Li Qingqing and Jing Yu.
Of course, Lin Ye placed his main hope on Jing Yu, and the other two were just there to make up the numbers.
Three months later.
Shangyang City!
Ten miles away from the gate of Miaoying Temple, a wealthy family's carriage suddenly overturned. A pregnant woman in the carriage accidentally fell off the carriage and bleeding on the spot. The servants hurriedly sent her to the doctor for treatment.
Lin Mansion in Shangyang City.
Lin Ye sat cross-legged on the Bagua formation diagram.
Jing Yu was guarding the door. Suddenly, Li Qingqing ran over excitedly.
"Lin Ye, I found the right person." Li Qingqing was about to push the door open, but Jing Yu held his sword across to block Li Qingqing's progress.
"You swordsman..."
If it were anyone else, Li Qingqing would have thrown herself into a huge fight, but facing Jing Yu, she chose to hold back.
"There was a woman who was two months pregnant. She suddenly saw blood today. The baby in her belly could no longer be saved. It was just the right time for Lin Ye to be reborn."
Jing Yu did not respond. Lin Ye's soul walked out of the room and bowed to Jing Yu and Li Qingqing, mainly to Jing Yu.
"The time has come, please help me, Brother Jing."
After saying that, Lin Ye's soul stepped towards a house in the city.
…
…
Eight months later!
A boy was born in the Qin Mansion in the city and was named Qin Yu.
Qin Yu is the third son of the head of the Qin family. He has an older brother and an older sister. Because he is the youngest and extremely intelligent, he is deeply loved by the Qin family. He could recite poems at the age of three and compose poems at the age of seven. His name as a child prodigy spread far and wide.
At the age of fourteen, he took the first place in the county examination, and then he took the first place in the prefectural examination. At the age of seventeen, he took the first place in the provincial examination, becoming the youngest Jieyuan and also one of the three top scorers, and became famous throughout the Shang Dynasty.
At the age of twenty-one, he went to Beijing to take the imperial examination, won the crown and became the top scholar.
There is a poem that goes: There are many proud men in the past five thousand years: Wu Shu Ba Wang, Wen Nu Su Shi. The dragon and phoenix dance with the giant pen, the best in the world!
At the age of 23, he entered the Imperial Academy to edit books...
When he was thirty, the Shang Dynasty was in turmoil. Some merchants stored grain and recruited soldiers for rebellion, and they reached the capital within seven days.
All officials were terrified when they heard the news. The prime minister suggested negotiating with the rebels. Qin Yu stepped forward and angrily denounced the prime minister in the court. Later, he was responsible for the defense of the capital.
He led 3,000 imperial guards and the city's civilians to resist the rebels for 15 days. Later, troops from various places arrived to suppress the rebellion and the rebellion ended.
After this battle, Qin Yu was appointed as the new prime minister and started a new round of reforms, known as the Qin Yu Reforms.
Comments from later historians: Qin Yu's reform extended the life of the Shang Dynasty by a hundred years.
In the 406th year of the Shang Dynasty, Qin Yu, a wise prime minister, passed away at the age of 92.
The people of the capital city saw him off for ten miles...
The cries continued for three days, and various places held activities to mourn Qin Xiang.

When he was forty, his family had no land to sell, so he relied on the help of his classmates to make ends meet.

All the sword cultivators were filled with sorrow.
Sword Saint Jing Yu lived to be over 700 years old. After he turned 300, he lived in the Sword Saint Thatched Cottage. He taught carefully all the young sword practitioners who came to him for instruction, which led to the prosperity of martial arts and sword practice.
The passing of the Sword Master marks the end of an era, and this era also includes the Shang Dynasty.
While the martial artists were still grieving, two voices were whispering, and from time to time, evil laughter could be heard.
"It's time to teach this kid a new way of life. Only when he gets to the bottom... can he experience real life."
“Hehehe…”
