Commander's Destiny

Chapter 13 Mandarin Duck Inkstone
The female wandering soul wondered: "I don't know if it's related to the person who should be buried, I don't even know what I'm looking for. Because for thousands of years, whenever a young man dies and mourns, I always want to go forward Take a look to see if it is buried in clothes. If so, I have the urge to open the coffin and go in to find something. I think what I want to find may be an object or a person. And even more strange Yes, whenever I want to leave this area and go to other places, there always seems to be some force pulling me back, hoping that I will stay here. However, I have never harmed others, and only occasionally possessed people with evil spirits. Going to try to find some burial mounds. I just want to know what it is that I want to find, and what is it that I can't let go?"

"If you encounter a certain situation, you can't help but reproduce a certain scene, it must be because you have experienced a similar situation before your life and left an unforgettable pain, so you have formed a big obsession," Bai Wuyan continued to explain, "This obsession shatters your soul. Part of the earth soul carrying the obsession is engulfed in the sky soul and wanders in this world and does not want to be reincarnated. This is also the reason why you are like this. As for what you think What kind of power is attracting you and not letting you go away, it should be part of your soul that is incomplete due to obsession, entrusted to a certain object, and attracts this part of your soul that has obsession."

The female wandering soul shook her head: "But it has been too long, and the memory of that year has become very blurred. I just remember that I opened a coffin and saw that there was no one in it. It was a burial in clothes, and then I lay down in it .”

Bai Wuyan thought for a while, and said, "Can you perceive where the soul attracts you? Maybe we can find the soul object that carries your memory there."

"Just near the small mound where the little girl found me, there is a tomb of clothes. I can feel that it attracts me the most." The female wandering soul looked at Yao Jingli, as if she had finally found hope to resolve her obsession.

Yao Jingli felt that if she didn't solve this obsession with wandering souls, she might not reveal the clues of the Wei and Jin tombs, so she suggested: "Since there are souls attracting us, why don't we go back again? With Big Brother Bai here, Let's see if we can find a soul object that carries the memory of the soul."

So the female wandering soul temporarily possessed and controlled Jiang Qianfeng's body. The three of them found some tools such as shovels, and turned back to the mound. At this time, the sky had already brightened.

According to the description of the female wandering soul, the crowd walked along the woods from the back of the small mound to the mountain, and came to a huge thousand-year-old banyan tree, and there was indeed a stone tablet, on which they could recognize the four characters of Liang Pingzhi's tomb, The small characters on other inscriptions have become illegible under the baptism of time.

After everyone discussed, it was still the female wandering soul who borrowed Jiang Qianfeng's body to fight.Excavating a small mound under the aerial roots of the ancient banyan tree behind the tombstone, I found that there was indeed a coffin. When I opened the coffin, there were only some simple funerary objects and a rotten female corpse lying inside.

Bai Wuyan rummaged through a pile of bottles and jars to find a funeral object, and handed it to Jiang Qianfeng who was possessed by a wandering female spirit, and said, "This object is extraordinary, do you still have an impression?"

The female wandering soul took the object in Bai Wuyan's hand, it turned out to be a Sheshi inkstone, look carefully at the inkstone, the stone pattern is delicate, the workmanship is exquisite, a pair of mandarin ducks playing in the water are engraved on it, but judging by the carving and style, it is not the same as the inkstone. The inkstone itself is not of the same period.

Suddenly, a ray of bright white breath penetrated into Jiang Qianfeng's body from the inkstone, and the female wandering soul seemed to have recovered her memory: "I remembered everything, this is an ancient inkstone handed down by my ancestors, and I gave it to Liang when we parted. Son."

"Oh, there are mandarin ducks playing in the water, could it be a token of love?" Yao Jingli couldn't help interjecting.

The female wandering soul said embarrassingly: "It's not a token of love, but the story in it is a long story. It starts with me disguising as a man and entering Hangzhou Academy. That year, I was 12 years old, Without my consent at home and without my knowledge, I disguised myself as a man and went out to study."

"Why do you have to dress up as a man? Is it because you are afraid of being bullied outside?" Yao Jingli couldn't help asking, also traveling alone.

"That's not true. We were not like you are now. Women can go to school and receive education. Because even if women are educated, they can't be officials. When they reach the age, they will be forced to marry by their families, marry into other people's families, and have children. Women. What's more, since ancient times, it has been emphasized that men and women should not get along with each other. Only princesses and princesses in the court, in order to make them educated and reasonable when they become the wives of princes and nobles in the future, the imperial court will invite scholar-bureaucrats to run official women's schools, but it is mainly about the court. Etiquette and some collections of classics and history about three obediences and four virtues. As for the folks, unless there are a few rich and noble families who live relatively close, not only have a good relationship, but also have more female relatives, then there may be an enlightened head of the family to take the lead, please My husband came to my home to set up a women's school. This kind of situation is usually rare, and ordinary people like us can only cherish the limited family education. Relying on the elders of the family clan, they occasionally have the opportunity to teach. Basically, it is more self-study. After reading all the books at home, I still want to continue to study and study, so I have to go out to study. Naturally, famous academies at that time would not admit female students, so I had no choice but to take advantage of it. At a young age, when it was not easy to be seen as a man disguised as a woman, he secretly ran away from home."

"Oh, so that's the case, then how did you know Mr. Liang?" Girls are more curious about the girl's thoughts. Yao Jingli is still thinking about the love story behind the mandarin ducks playing in the water.

Youhun recovered her memory, and now she was full of desire to tell the story. She continued: "When I passed by Zhenjiang, I went to Beigu Mountain to play. When it rained suddenly, I went to the Jiangji Pavilion in the mountain to take shelter from the rain. I met a young master. , It happened to be the same way to study, we had a good chat, and now we became brothers of the opposite sex. This son is Liang Ping, Mr. Liang. It was late at that time, and the rainstorm continued, so we had to stay overnight at the Ganlu Temple in the mountains The monk in charge of the monastery saw that we two students were brothers and sisters, so he only lent us a meditation room. I had no choice but to make do with it. But the meditation room is full of bunks. As a girl who has not yet left the cabinet, how can I share the same bed with a man? I slept together, and that night I pretended to study hard, and read until late at night, hoping to wait for Mr. Liang to sleep first, before I go to bed. Unexpectedly, Mr. Liang worked even harder, and actually read with me. When it was late at night, he asked me why I didn't sleep yet, so I made up a lie, saying that I was talking in my sleep, and I was afraid that talking in my sleep would wake him up, so I let him sleep first. But when I couldn't stand it anymore, I found that he hadn't fallen asleep yet. Put a glass of water on the bed as a boundary, saying that I am afraid that I will sleepwalk and beat someone and hurt him. Neither of us should cross the boundary, otherwise neither of us will be able to fall asleep if we touch the water. I thought that my behavior like this would make He was skeptical, but unexpectedly he accepted it readily, and asked me why I went to bed with my clothes on. I made an excuse that I was weak and cold, so my mother specially sewed a few layers of underwear for me so that I would not get sick when I went to bed outside, so I could take it off. Trouble, he actually believed it. When I woke up the next day, the glass of water was not spilled, and I was covered with brother Liang's coat. I thought that although brother Liang was dull and straightforward, he was also a kind gentleman, so I couldn't help but Feeling good, they went together and went to Hangzhou Academy to enroll together."
