I have Taoism and can understand other worlds

Chapter 369: Wake up from the dream and see the truth

Jiang Wen's life was dull but fulfilling. He was drying herbs in the courtyard. Watching his wife Wen Ji busy in the kitchen, she couldn't help but smile.

Now I have a home, a wife, plenty of food and drink, and plenty of time to spare. Although it is far inferior materially, it has a bit more reality of life. On weekdays, you can sit leisurely under the trees in the courtyard and read a book or take a nap.

He was content with this kind of life and no longer expected anything more.

In time for the autumn harvest, Jiang Wen helped the villagers harvest the crops. They also built a grain fan machine to help the villagers with their work.

"With Mr. Jiang, I will definitely be able to have a good harvest when the harvest comes." The old village chief held Jiang Wen's hand tightly and said gratefully. A scholar is willing to work so hard for them. This kind of kindness is not clear at all.

Since Jiang Wen came to the village, the children in the village no longer go hungry, and every family can still have a surplus after paying taxes and grains. This life is also very comfortable.

"No matter where, this is what I should do." Jiang Wen smiled gently. He was tall, fair and beautiful. Even standing among the villagers, she stood out. If it weren't for the fact that she had a daughter-in-law, the matchmaker in the village would have broken down the door fence.

After accepting the game sent by the village chief, Jiang Wen walked towards his home carrying the things. The pheasant was dangling in his hand. He wanted to eat pheasant stewed with lotus root today.

The courtyard was quiet, without the usual sound of his wife knocking. Jiang Wen was only slightly sluggish, but he still shouted smoothly: "Madam, I'm back."

The words echoed, but no one in the room answered him. For some reason, he was a little panicked. His internal organs seemed to be pinched tightly by something, making him unable to breathe.

Panic was like a tide, rushing towards him endlessly.

Jiang Wen stabilized his trembling hands and gently pushed the door open.

The courtyard is still busy, and the dried bacon is hanging on the tree and dancing in the wind. It's just that there is one person missing, which makes it somewhat lonely.

He placed the pheasant on the stone table and walked slowly into the house. The weapons in the weapons rack disappeared, leaving only the white letter on the table in the room.

Jiang Wen took a deep breath to steady his falling heart. Picking up the letter and opening it slowly, it was also written by his wife Wenji.

"I see you are safe. My concubine has left, so don't worry. When faced with disasters, I was fortunate enough to have you save me, and I dare not neglect you in order to repay your great kindness. So I became a good friend with you forever, and we will always be together. It's just that I still have Huanglong here." I have a heavy body on my shoulders. I dare not neglect it for a day. The worries in my heart are like the water of the tidal river, which travels back and forth every day, and there are many hidden things that are unspeakable. Nowadays, everything in the world depends on human beings, and the king's industry..."

"Every time I fall in love with you, I feel doubly happy. But the great cause is approaching, and I have to leave. I hope you will not worry and forget. I will definitely fall in love with you again one day."

"Wife, Wen Ji."

"..." Jiang Wen held the letter and stood silently in the hall. He squeezed it tightly with his fingers, an embarrassed smile on his face.

"I knew there was no such good thing in this world. If you save a beautiful woman, she will be willing to marry you. I am so naive and ridiculous." Jiang Wen choked and laughed at himself.

"In the end, it's my fault that I wasn't chosen because of my lack of ability."

With a sarcastic smile on his face, he reached out and tore the letter into pieces. He waved his hand suddenly towards the house, and the fragments scattered all over the sky fell down.

After walking into the room in a few steps, Jiang Wen could easily see the package placed on the bed. When he opened it, he found several gold bricks and various bits of silver inside.

Just like what was written in the letter, she left money for Jiang Wen as compensation before she left.

"No wonder she was silent when she saw the wanted painting that day. I thought it was my imagination." Jiang Wen grinned, reached for the package and prepared to throw it out the window.

But he seemed to have thought of something, and finally took the package back.

"Forget it, we can't live with money. After all, it's what I earned from selling myself these days." Jiang Wen muttered to himself and put the package away.

Walk around the house alone, and finally cook and eat alone.

Lying in bed at night, the scent of a woman still lingers. Thinking of the scene with her, Jiang Wen had some insomnia. After all, after being together for so many days, he finally developed feelings for the only person close to him in the world.

Closing his eyes and thinking about what happened before, he slowly fell into sleep. Half asleep and half awake, the sounds of fighting and shouting suddenly came to my ears. Jiang Wen opened his eyes and saw raging fire.

Mixed with the sound of exploding firewood, a suffocating heat wave swept around him.

There were constant pitiful wailings in my ears, just like the chop of pork in the market, with splashes of blood.

People kept falling to the ground, and the collision of flesh and soil could be heard clearly.

Men and women, old and young, there are quite a lot of them.

"What happened..." Jiang Wen murmured blankly.

Before he could fully come to his senses, wild shouts rang out from the door of his courtyard.

"It's about time this one came."

"Yes."

"Now that we know the master's identity, we can't keep him here."

"But his relationship with his master..."

"Those who achieve great things should not stick to trivial matters. The master will definitely not care."

Just when Jiang Wen was confused, several gangsters broke in. Holding the sword and looking at Jiang Wen, a ferocious smile appeared on his face.

"If you want to blame me, just blame your bad luck. I will give you a good child in my next life."

Before Jiang Wen could come to his senses, he saw a bright sword slashing down. He only felt pain all over his body, and his whole body felt endless nothingness coming from him.

"Why, why would you do this to me?" Jiang Wen laughed miserably, and his consciousness gradually fell into darkness.

When he opened his eyes again, the scenery in front of him was beautiful mountains and clear waters, and the sun and moon were quiet and bright.

And he was standing on a hillside, with endless grassland in the distance in front of him. It was the wind-swept meadows with cattle and sheep in their luxuriance, the embellishment of hundreds of miles of green mist and misty clouds. Just standing on this grassland, you can feel the touch of life. A sense of tranquility arises spontaneously and spreads in my heart.

"The three hundred and sixty-first time." Jiang Wen looked at the scene in front of him and thought silently in his heart.

Ever since he entered the stone gate, he has been on this grassland forever. This is a place with no end, only clear sky and endless grassland.

But whenever Jiang Wen stayed in place for a certain period of time, he would fall into an endless dream. In dreams, he will forget his identity, play roles in the world, and experience all kinds of love and hatred. He could not be freed from this dream until the moment he died.

Just like the dream just now, he experienced another kind of life in the dream.

"Wenji...how could I dream about Wenji?" Jiang Wen only felt that the dream was quite weird, mainly because there were too many elements.

Putting aside these thoughts, Jiang Wen looked at the grassland again. This secret place was so weird that he didn't know how to get out. Whether flying in the air or exploring the thick soil, everything up and down seems endless. There is no end in sight and no way forward.

"Perhaps there is something wrong with my method?" Jiang Wen looked at the sun that had been hanging in the sky and suddenly had an idea in his mind.

"If I seal away a trace of my intelligence and forcefully awaken myself in this dream, what will be the result?"
