J inzhou City.
At this moment, a young man was leisurely walking on the officials’ road. It was none other than Liang Sheng, who had left Xigu Pass.
Meeting Chu Chen at Xigu Pass was completely beyond Liang Sheng’s expectations. After he saw Chu Chen pick up the knife and kill everyone, he left the inn.
Chu Chen’s decisiveness in killing was remarkable, leaving no hidden dangers. With the Barrier Breaking Pill Liang Sheng had given him, there should be no danger for him.
After all, how many people in the world could endure and hide their cultivation level like him, with this temperament, this endurance, and the decisive heart at the critical moment?
This temperament was somewhat different from Brother Rong’s after all. It seemed that even if there was really a cycle of reincarnation in this world, the vicissitudes of the sea, and the ever-changing world, it was just a similar flower.
After leaving the inn at Xigu Pass, for some reason, he had a faint idea of wanting to go and see Jinzhou City.
He didn’t know why, perhaps it was because the encounter with Chu Chen had triggered his memories, or it was an intuition from somewhere. In the end, he decided to go back to Jinzhou City after more than three hundred years.
The officials’ road in Jinzhou city was much wider than before. After all, the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty had expanded with the conquests, and the officials’ road in each state of the Great Zhou had been rebuilt, becoming wider and flatter.
First, he went to the forest outside the city, but Jinshan Temple was no longer there. Only ruins remained, but they barely showed the prosperity of the old days.
It was unknown if it was because Jinshan Temple had been involved in a rebellion, which rendered it a taboo, so such a large place had remained an empty space without any new temples and Taoist temples for several hundred years. It was quite strange.
Liang Sheng walked around the ruins and thought of the Unmoving Mountain Ming King Seal he encountered back then. He felt that he was really fortunate.
After that, he went down the mountain and walked all the way to the Liang Family Cemetery outside the city. However, it had long since turned into a village, with no trace of the desolation of a graveyard. As for the graveyard of Zhang Rongjun and others not far away, it had also disappeared, becoming the farmland of the village.
Liang Sheng just smiled and then entered the city. The city had long changed since, with the Three Major Martial Families of Jinzhou City all buried in dust. Now, the government was in power, how could the great families still dare to be bold?
Liang Sheng strolled around the city aimlessly, and found a small high-rise building in the center with few people. He looked up and couldn’t help but smile.
Yichun Building.
Even with the change of dynasties and the passage of time, the demand for such establishments persisted. Human nature remained the same, and life went on without interruption, day after day.
At the moment, it was daytime, and there were naturally fewer people here. He walked forward casually and reached the place where he vaguely remembered the Shengde Building was, but a new mansion had been built there.
He didn’t care, but when he walked to his old mansion, he found that the mansion was still there, but the interior layout had completely changed.
He couldn’t help but stand still amidst his thoughts. The doorman of the mansion, noticing his distinguished demeanor, hesitated for a moment and then came out, “Sir, are you here to see our master?”
Liang Sheng shook his head and then smiled, saying that it was nothing, he was just tired and wanted to rest for a bit. He then turned and left.
This wasn’t his mansion after all.
He wandered aimlessly through the entire Jinzhou city, and Zhang Rongj tin’s family and teahouse had long become a thing of the past.
Several hundred years had changed everything. Who would have thought that just a few hundred years ago, Jinzhou city was dominated by noble families, and martial arts were used to suppress the city?
As he walked around, he had a lot of emotions in his heart, but he still couldn’t find the faint reason for coming here.
Liang Sheng wasn’t in a hurry. At this moment, he was a lone wanderer in the world. Time, for him, was just a number. Lots of people and things were just sudden memories of a certain moment.
At this time, he casually found a tavern, and during his meal, he had already got a general idea of the current situation in Jinzhou City. Indeed, taverns were always the best place to gather information.
Unconsciously, the sun was setting in the west, and it was getting late. In front of Yichun Building, there was a constant stream of carriages and horses, far from quiet during the day.
As Liang Sheng walked in front of Yichun Building, the madame’s eyes lit up, and she approached him immediately, her plump body pressing against Liang Sheng as if boneless.
“Ladies, don’t come out to greet your guests?”
Upon hearing this, Liang Sheng seemed to be transported back four hundred years, so he skillfully took out some Silver Notes and stuffed them directly into the madame’s cleavage.
Then, like a flock of birds, the ladies gathered around.
Liang Sheng couldn’t help but laugh, grabbed the two prettiest girls, and walked into Yichun Building.
He suddenly had an epiphany that the innocence of youth was never changed by the passage of time. So he had come here to find peace of mind after all.
The next day, early in the morning, Liang Sheng found an agency and bought a mansion right across from his former home. Naturally, the agency would handle the matter of hiring servants for him.
The doorman across the street was bewildered that the new owner was the gentleman who had been standing in front of their door pondering the day before. He couldn’t help but curse the rich man in his heart, thinking that he had come to look at the mansion originally.
As he continued cursing, he couldn’t help feeling envious. He would never be able to afford the price of even the hut for this mansion in his lifetime, since this was the most expensive area in Jinzhou City.
From then on, life became extremely quiet and peaceful. Liang Sheng had never been so at ease before. After tensing his nerves for hundreds of years, he eventually returned to his starting point.
Suddenly, Liang Sheng seemed to have some insights but they were elusive and unreachable. In the end, he simply didn’t think about it anymore. In the face of time, everything would eventually take its course..
