The background story of "Ming Chao Chang Li", step into the post-apocalyptic wonderland of "Ming Tide", you will become the guide, shuttle between the forgotten ruins and the emerging hope, fight side by side with the mysterious resonance body, and uncover the dust-laden truth of history. , reshaping the fate of the world. The following is a list of the backgrounds of those who share long-distance resonance with you.
People who have come to Bianting in the past two years always say that it is rare to see the legendary counselor Changli.
Although the counselor rarely appears in public, as Ling Yin's most trusted advisor, her name is well-known in Jinzhou, and the rumors about her are all kinds of strange and have different opinions.
It is said that when Lady Changli was in the Ming Court, she requested that Beitian courtyards in various places be repaired, so that the refugees who had lost their homes in the disaster caused by Bei Ming had a better place to return to; she also went to the Central Court to admonish the Central Court to reduce the commercial tax in Jinzhou, Allocate food funds to help Jinzhou recover people's livelihood from the shadow of the Battle of the Scimitar.
It is said that when Master Changli first arrived in the side court, he calmly eliminated two rogue forces that had been entrenched around Jinzhou for a long time. Just a conversation and an "obvious trap" made the two parties suspicious of each other. , both jade and stone are destroyed.
It is said that Lord Changli did not appoint counselors only after the Lord of Sui selected Ling Yin. Instead, he asked Jinzhou to act as an agent early in the morning to teach the young Jin Xi and help her take over the authority that was too heavy for a child. .
"Real or false? Why did I hear that the previous actions were all taken by the previous Chang Shi? She was demoted to the border because she offended a big shot?"
"I heard that she is a direct disciple of Master Xuanmiao, and she was recommended by the previous chief minister. She lobbied everyone in the four states and won their respect. How could she be just a sycophant?"
"What? I heard that she is a descendant of a certain hermit family. She came to Jinzhou this time because she shoulders the important responsibility of inheriting the family..."
Discussions like this were rampant, but Changli seemed unaware of it. Occasionally she would encounter someone discussing it, but she would just forget about it without hesitation. Her eyes were gentle, but she seemed to be able to see through everyone's thoughts, which actually silenced those people.
Jinzhou's Ling Yin was selected by the police, and she turned out to be a little girl who looked like she had not yet had haircuts. As a result, the rumors became even more rampant. Some people thought that she had an eye for Ling Yin's status, and the purpose of coming here was to control the young girl. Children, take your place.
After the succession ceremony, Changli completely handed over the administrative power to Jin Xi, and was appointed as Ling Yin's counselor by Jin Xi. In the past three years, the government of Jinzhou has been well managed, and the people are all grateful to Ling Yin for his diligent administration. No one knows how many of them are counselors and ministers.
People who have met Changli say that she always has a gentle smile and treats everyone equally, from generals to foot soldiers. However, when she is alone, she always has an aura of calmness and self-power, which makes people a little afraid. near.
"Last time I met Master Changli at the Xunning Station, I found her staring at the trees in the courtyard with great interest. I originally thought she had something important to do, but I didn't expect that she was just watching the ants move... A whole afternoon..."
"Then what?"
"Later, a suspect leader who had been wanted for a long time suddenly came over and surrendered. We were shocked. At first, we thought it was another trap. But when the man saw Master Chang Li, he seemed to have been greatly frightened. They have all been recruited, and they have also been implicated in many old mystery cases. This is the biggest case I have taken on in so long of being in the industry..."
"What about Master Changli?"
"I don't know when he left. Well, he is such an unpredictable adult..."
Before Changli became Jin Xi's teacher, he had an encounter with the young Xi.
At that time, Changli went to Jinzhou. When he was walking in the side courtyard, he accidentally heard the faint sound of reading from the side hall. There was a young girl sitting in a pile of books taller than her, trying hard to memorize those words that were good to her. Some difficult theories for my age.
“If you don’t know the source of chaos, you can’t make laws…but how can you have the only ears to hear and the only way to see?”
The girl read out the contents of the book in a confused manner, but she was a little confused.
That little silhouette reminded Chang Li of his past self, the same way he worked hard to absorb as much knowledge as possible and anxiously wanted to grow up.
She couldn't help but lean down and answer the girl's questions.
"Xi has benefited a lot." The girl thanked her word by word in a childish voice. After hesitating for a while, she raised her head and asked her, "...So, how can I become a unique Ling Yin?"
"Why do you ask?"
"The people of this state are suffering from the war... I want to see a peaceful and prosperous era."
"...It's not going to be easy."
"I understand, but I want to do the best I can."
——I want to see a prosperous and peaceful age.
Chang Li looked into the girl's clear eyes and seemed to hear the sound of burning stars, small but firm.
"Then, I will help you achieve what you want."
The former little girl was selected as the new Ling Yin by Jinzhou's Sui Lord. The lights were on in the court all night long, and Changli was always by Jin Xi's side, answering questions as a teacher and offering advice as a counselor.
For ordinary people, the stories of heroes are grand and distant. Hot meals on the table and a peaceful night's sleep are the symbols of a better life.
"Xi, when it comes to government, you can't just stay in the temple and be confined among documents. You must go among the people and listen to their voices."
"Xi understands."
As a result, each piece of wishing in the form of firewood, rice, oil and salt was pinned on the custom of making wishes in this state, which converged into the beginning of a state's city's change for the better.
Chang Li watched Jin Xi being surrounded by enthusiastic people, and the desolation faded from their faces, replaced by sincere happiness and gratitude.
Jinzhou has found its master, and neither the people nor the central court will doubt Jin Xi's ability anymore.
“Whatever comes to mind, just do it.”
"I'm still here."
The teacher is the one who sows the seeds, lighting the candle to lead the way, and making the light of the spark light up the sky.
She knew that this girl, who still looked immature in her brows, would grow into a single-handed Ling Yin who could protect the entire Jinzhou.
And she will take over the spark of inheritance and pave the way forward for her students.
Boss Chang Qing of Yanqingzhai encountered two strange things recently.
One is the bookstore business.
The land of Xuanlong is vast and rich in resources, and the fashionable things in the city are always changing. In recent years, people no longer respect paper books, and the bookstore's business has been deteriorating. In the past few days, business has miraculously picked up, and many more people come to the store to buy books than usual.
Looking at the attire, most of the customers were Central Court officials. Chang Qing was confused, so he went to ask the customers in the store, and most of the answers he got were: "This is a place recommended by Master Chang Shi."
Long history? He had vaguely heard that a new Chang Shi had recently been appointed to the Central Court, but how could he, a small bookstore owner, have any connection with this high-ranking man in the temple?
The second is the facade of the bookstore.
Due to the sluggish business, Yanqingzhai's facade may not have been repaired for a long time. Even the owner of the grocery store next door shook his head when he saw it.
"Old Chang, your facade really needs to be renovated. If it continues to deteriorate, others will really treat you as a lousy warehouse!"
"You're the one who ruins the warehouse. Although it's not as big as Mingting's bookstore, when it comes to rare, rare and unique books, my Yanqingzhai is the best! The aroma of wine is not afraid of the alley's understanding."
Having said that, Chang Qing also murmured in his heart, but he couldn't do the heavy work with his old bones, so he might as well take advantage of the recent recovery in business and hire someone to repair it.
But when he arrived at the store the next day, he was so shocked that he froze in place. The old and dusty facade disappeared overnight, the plaque and the main entrance took on a new look, and the three characters "Yanqingzhai" painted in gold shone in the sun.
There was a piece of paper placed in front of the counter, which said that he was grateful to the boss for his kindness and repaired it without permission, and expressed his gratitude.
The letter was unsigned, but the vermilion fire feather pattern on the page looked familiar. Chang Qing held the letter in his hand and sat down slowly, lost in memories.
That was more than ten years ago, when the bookstore business was booming. Among the customers coming and going, there was always a little girl of eight or nine years old sneaking into the store quietly, holding a book and reading it all afternoon.
Chang Qing didn't care much at first. If you open a bookstore, it's common to encounter customers who just want to buy it. As long as the books are not destroyed and the business is not affected, it's fine.
However, over the past few days, sales have plummeted, and there are even fewer customers entering the store.
"It's too hot. I can't stay here any longer. Let's go and look at other stores."
It was early autumn, but the room was extremely hot. Chang Qing wiped the sweat from his forehead and searched carefully, only to find a thin figure curled up in the shadow of the bookshelf, holding a book and reading attentively.
There was a ball of fire floating in front of her, and the temperature in the room gradually increased as her expression changed as she was fascinated by the book - Chang Qing felt anxious when he saw the scene in front of him.
"Where did you come from, you want to burn down my shop?!"
The flame suddenly extinguished, and the girl was frightened by the roar. Chang Qing watched helplessly as the page of the book she was holding tightly turned brown, as if it was about to burn——
"You, you, you...!"
The girl hurriedly dropped the book in her hand and looked at the scorch marks on the page, a look of panic and guilt on her young face.
"Yes, I'm sorry...it's too dark here, I just wanted to light up..."
Seeing that the only copy he had collected was being wasted, and the accounts that had continued to decline in the past few days flashed through his mind, Chang Qing picked up the broom next to the bookshelf with a dark face, pretending to hit him.
Unexpectedly, this doll looked thin but could run faster than a monkey. Chang Qing chased him out the door, but only saw the flame-colored hair tail streaking through the air. The small figure squeezed into the crowded market in an instant, leaving behind Next he stood there blowing his beard and staring in anger.
"Don't let me see you again!"
"What's the matter, are you so angry?" The owner of the nearby grocery store walked out with a smile and followed his gaze. "Hey, isn't that the little kid who can control fire?"
"Do you know her? She almost burned down my store just now!"
"It's not that exaggerated. He's a good boy. He even helped me with a lot of work a few days ago, just to get some steamed buns... Oh, it's also pitiful. He was alone at such a young age and walked here with only one pair of legs. I heard that the place where she came was attacked by a wave of residual elephants, and no one survived. I don’t know how she survived..."
"...Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"You didn't even ask! But from the looks of it...she probably doesn't dare to come back."
The little girl's thin figure had disappeared at the end of the alley, and the sounds of children playing and laughing next door could be heard. Chang Qing looked at the book that fell on the ground, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart.
The business of Yanqingzhai has returned to its usual state, and there is still an endless stream of book customers. The little girl huddled among the bookshelves reading silently has never been seen again.
But what Chang Qing didn't expect was that a week later, the child actually came back.
"This is all the money I have... It's not stolen! I earned it. I don't know if it's enough to compensate... I'm sorry, I broke your book... The book I want to read is only available here, sir, so... "
The girl bit her lip and timidly placed the scattered shell coins in her hand on the counter. The thin body was not as high as the counter, and only half of her head was exposed. The girl's body was trembling slightly on tiptoes, but a pair of bright and stubborn eyes were still staring at him without escaping.
"...That's all."
After so many days, his anger has long since dissipated. Chang Qing waved his hand, "Let's go, let's take the money as well, don't affect my business."
The girl didn't speak any more. She bowed and left with three turns. Looking at the girl's thin back and shabby clothes, Chang Qing was silent for a moment, and then sighed heavily.
He stood up and walked over carrying a lamp, and stuffed it into the girl's hand along with the spare key to the store.
"Take it, and don't use your fire for lighting anymore. Look at it openly at night when there are no guests."
"..."
"I didn't let you see it in vain. You helped me open the store this morning."
"Thank you, thank you..."
That was the first time he saw that girl showing a pure smile that belonged to a child.
After that, the girl often came to Yanqingzhai. As agreed, she only appeared in the evening. Once she came, she would quietly huddle in the corner and read. When Chang Qing came to the store in the early morning, she could always see that the store was cleaned spotlessly and in order. .
In winter, girls can also study during the day. The cold wind outside the window was cold, but the room was as warm as spring. Chang Qing occasionally glanced at what the girl was reading, and found that it was all about literacy and illustrated historical records.
The calm face that is not suitable for his age can only be full of energy when he is immersed in a book.
——One day later, the girl disappeared without a trace. Some said she was attacked by a residual elephant, while others said she died of her injuries and died on the way to Mingting.
In Chang Qing's eyes, the fire feather pattern on the letterhead looked more and more like the flame that the girl had lit.
If she were still alive...
"Old sir?"
Chang Qing came back from his thoughts and saw a woman standing in front of the counter. She was tall and tall, with gentle eyes. Her flame-colored hair was like the tail feathers of a legendary spiritual bird, floating leisurely in the morning breeze.
She put the shell coins in her hand on the counter and spoke with a smile.
"The book I'm looking for is only available here, sir. I wonder if I can borrow it for a day?"
——She no longer looks like that thin little girl, but her appearance and demeanor are exactly the same as that of the young man with a long history of official worship who was talked about in the streets.
The sun rose over the eaves, bringing morning light to the room. The old bookstore owner laughed, waved his hand, and leaned back in the recliner.
"Look, look...even if I don't give you money, I can't drive you away."
The master seems to have been following someone.
The young Chang Li followed his elderly master to travel around the world. The respected old man had no intention of teaching any more apprentices, but now that he had accepted this young apprentice, he would devote his last time to pouring out all his knowledge. Teach each other.
The old man loved to play chess. When he was tired from traveling, the master and apprentice would sit on the ground and play chess on the chessboard. Master spends most of his time playing guided chess with Chang Li, teaching her how to plan everything and measure power and abilities. But occasionally he will review an unfinished chess game with her. Every time it reaches the middle of the game, Master doesn't know much about it. satisfy.
At this time, he would always mention the old friend who played chess with him. Changli understood that that person was the person that the master had been following. The master accepted her as his disciple in order to find this person. But if he heard about that person's name and where he was now, Master would always shake his head.
"The time has not come yet."
On the day when he had a premonition that his end was approaching, the old man handed over the chess records and notes he carried with him to Changli, and also passed on his legacy to his disciples.
"All cause and effect are in chess."
So the apprentice took over the master's legacy and continued on.
"...this heavenly being comes to the world, controls the universe, and holds the body in his body."
"...I saw a strange man with golden eyes in the midst of the rising and falling clouds."
"...standing side by side with the horns, intimate."
She followed the notes left by her master and traced forward little by little, and found that the shadow of that person existed in many places. Sometimes it was the wonderful stories told by storytellers, and sometimes it was the records of just a few words in the history books - that existence was like a firm presence. The cornerstone and beacon of civilization has led people to a better future in the midst of several turbulent civilizations.
The traces left by that person in the world are like an imperceptible but tough and long thread, connecting the years and history one by one that are much longer than the life span of ordinary people.
"The appearance of that special person is bound to be accompanied by signs that are enough to make you notice. That person is the person who truly has the ability to change the world."
And if she wants to realize her long-cherished wish of a prosperous and peaceful age, she cannot rely solely on distant phantoms. She must stand high enough and far enough to have the strength to touch the future she pursues with her own hands and complete the mission entrusted to her by everyone along the way. With her prayers and promises, she traveled to four countries to study, and she never gave up even if the journey was long and dangerous.
After becoming an official, she finally got the permission to read the books as she wished. Among the vast sea of records, she found the most crucial information.
The information pointed to Jinzhou, the border area of Xuanlong.
Everything went as predicted by the Lord of Sui. The distinguished guest visited Jinzhou, broke the situation and stopped the war, and protected the peace of Jinzhou. The vague figure that once only appeared in classics and legends now finally has a definite shape.
On the day of the official meeting, she hurried back to Jinzhou from Mingting and saw the distinguished guest standing at the ferry, seemingly hesitating in the rain.
——As long as that distinguished guest acts according to what Jiao said, we will always meet.
Now, the time has come.
So she concealed the flood of emotions in her eyes and walked towards that person step by step.
The paper umbrella painted with the spirit bird pattern was tilted slightly, the two people looked at each other, and the only sound between the sky and the earth was the sound of drizzle hitting the umbrella surface.
She smiled and spoke softly.
"——Are you trapped here by the rain?"
