The Prequel of Ukiyo-e

Chapter 2

In ancient times, there was a family named Hua Xu who was good at weaving dreams with his lyre.

It is said that Huaxu was the mother of Fuxi and Nuwa. Later, Huaxu disappeared and was never seen again, but since then people can often see a veiled person carrying a qin wrapped in cloth, or Male or female, it's just that no one has seen what they really look like.It is said that the one who can take off their veil is their destined lover.

Bai Zeyan was extremely bored, so he flipped through the fragmented copy that his master gave him.The remnant copy records many strange people and events, but the title page and cover of this remnant copy are gone. Bai Zeyan looked carefully at the title page of this remnant copy, and it seems that someone deliberately tore it off.He also asked his old man, but the old man didn't know the name of the fragment, let alone who tore the title page.

Bai Zeyan didn't study this book carefully after he got it, but just read it as a book of strange tales, and only took it out to turn over a few pages to relieve boredom when he was bored.

This incomplete book is really nonsense. In the fairy tales, it is only said that Fuxi and Nuwa were born to Hua Xu, and the rest of the deeds have not been recorded. The person who wrote this incomplete book is probably unreliable. , To put it bluntly, these things are all fabricated.Bai Zeyan pursed his lips, put away the book and jumped down from the tree.

Bai Zeyan originally wanted to leave Kaifeng Mansion, but when he thought that he would only have some physical senses when he was around Zhan Zhao, it was lucky for him to be able to touch those senses of taste and smell that had disappeared for three years.It's just that he thought of another problem. He remembered that the old man said that he had a chance to recover his senses as a human being, but he had to meet the destined person.

Bai Zeyan always thought that his destined lover should be a girl, but now it seems that things are not that simple.He has been recalling the past two days, and every time he recalls the scene of thousands of arrows piercing his heart, he will tremble all over. It is a kind of fear that comes from the depths of his soul. This fear has been engraved deep in the soul.

Bai Zeyan knew that he died three years ago to save Zhan Zhao, but why did he save Zhan Zhao?He couldn't remember the specific reason. There seemed to be a gap in that memory, but he didn't know what was in the gap.

Could it be that this old man has also erased part of my memory?The more Bai Zeyan thought about it, the more he felt it was possible. He thought that maybe one day he would have time to go back and ask the old man, even if he was threatening or intimidating, he had to figure it out.Maybe this blank memory of mine was created by this old man. As for the reason, I don't need to think about it, it is also to protect myself.

Ever since he met Bai Zeyan, the shadow in Zhan Zhao's dream became more and more clear, Zhan Zhao once suspected that Bai Zeyan had something to do with him.When a person becomes interested in something, doubts will follow.

The first person Zhan Zhao thought of was Zhao Hu. He still remembered that Zhao Hu made it clear that day, obviously everyone in Kaifeng Mansion knew about Bai Zeyan.As the saying goes, "persimmons must pick the soft ones", and the first soft persimmon Zhan Zhao found was Zhao Hu.

At that time, Zhao Hu was fighting Zhang Long for the last bun, but because Zhan Zhao called him away, Zhao Hu did not get the ownership of the last bun.

"Brother Zhan, what do you want me to do?" Zhao Hu was simple and honest, and he was not angry because Zhan Zhao interrupted him for throwing away the buns, on the contrary he asked cheerfully.

"Oh, it's nothing, I just want to chat with you." Zhan Zhao smiled. Although Zhao Hu was dumbfounded, he was also stubborn. If he really asked directly, he must have a temper like a tiger. Even if you kill him, you won't say a word.

"Oh, oh, okay." Zhao Hu didn't pay much attention when he heard that it was just a simple chatter, and happily chatted with Zhan Zhao.

"Huzi, do you still remember when we came to Kaifeng Mansion?" Zhan Zhao asked.

"Remember, if it wasn't for your righteous recommendation from Big Brother Zhan, I guess Zhang Long and I are either still in trouble, or we have already walked on Huangquan Road once." Zhao Hu mentioned this matter. Very excited, when their village was hit by a severe drought and there was no harvest, he and Zhang Long from the same village had nowhere to go. In addition, the two had practiced when they were young, so the two got together and combined to create this roadblock It was a robbery deal, but unexpectedly, this first deal met Zhan Zhao's hard nail.After some fighting, Zhan Zhao subdued the two of them in two or three strokes.After learning about the situation of the two, Zhan Zhao did not turn them over to the government, but gave them some money to start some legitimate business.It wasn't until Zhan Zhao became a fourth-rank guard with a knife and recommended the two brothers to Bao Zheng that they got what they are today, "Time is so fast, it will be seven years in a blink of an eye."

"Yeah, it was so fast, I can't remember many people and things clearly." Zhan Zhao also sighed in a low voice.

Zhao Hu didn't think much about it, and subconsciously answered, "Isn't it? Some things can't be remembered clearly after seven years? Maybe it will change again in three years. It's like that Chinchilla Bai Yutang, Seven years ago, I fought with Big Brother Zhan for your name for four years. Three years ago, because of the sudden disappearance of the world, who knew that when I came back, I changed from a high-spirited rivers and lakes hero to a Daoist who did not eat fireworks in the world. The name has also been changed." As soon as Zhao Hu talked about this matter, it was like a flood that broke a dike, and all the words in his stomach shook like an inverted bamboo tube.In the end, he still felt that something was wrong, but for a while he couldn't remember where the problem was.It wasn't until Zhan Zhao left that he suddenly realized that he seemed to have said something he shouldn't have said just now.

As expected, he knew Bai Zeyan, but the name of him three years ago was Bai Yutang.Why change the name?Is it because he has become a monk, or is it simply because he doesn't want to remember who he is?Zhan Zhao was full of questions, but no one could answer them for him, and he also knew that no one would answer them for him, otherwise they wouldn't have kept it from him for three years.
