The night in the small mountain village was very quiet, but Murong Yao, who was lying on the bed, couldn't fall asleep no matter what. The amount of information that had happened in the past two days was too much. Niu Zheng and Wei Wuji's suspicions were not wrong. Murong Yao was indeed not from this era. His soul came from the year 2018 of the 21st century. Murong Yao's original name was Zhu Yao. He had just started working when he was 23 years old and had just graduated from the National Normal University. He was a math teacher at a primary school in Qixia Town, east of Nanjing. Zhu Yao loved outdoor sports, especially rock climbing. The 30th of December was a Saturday, the first day of the New Year's holiday. Early in the morning, Zhu Yao brought some simple rock climbing equipment and rode his bicycle to Mount Zijin. He wanted to take advantage of the three-day holiday to have a good time. Everyone knew that Mount Zijin was also called Mount Zhong. There was the tomb of the Ming Taizu, Zhu Yuanzhang, and the cemetery of the first president of the Republic of China, Mr. Mao. However, those were all in the direction of the sun near Nanjing City. Zhu Yao went to the eastern foot of Mount Zijin. Apart from some scattered villages, there were not many people in the mountains. The sun had yet to come out in the winter morning, and a thin layer of mist was scattered in the air. The mountain was not steep at the beginning. Zhu Yao warmed up as he climbed. He did not choose the mountain path that people had walked on. Instead, he chose to climb casually beside the steep rock wall in the bushes. Soon, Zhu Yao was close to the mountainside. Just as he was about to climb to the top of the mountain in one go, his feet suddenly slipped. A rock under his feet loosened, revealing a hidden hole. Zhu Yao's body could not help but slide into the cave. He rolled in the cave. The cave was slanted, and Zhu Yao tried his best to protect his vital parts. After seven or eight consecutive somersaults, Zhu Yao bumped into something soft. He was already at the bottom of the cave. With the weak light from the cave entrance, Zhu Yao saw clearly that he had bumped into a person. Could it be that someone was as unlucky as him? He realized that the person opposite him was also staring at him. After the two of them saw it clearly, they could not help but be shocked. They said in unison,"Who are you? Why are you me?"
Zhu Yao saw that the other party looked exactly like him. They were wearing the same clothes and were also carrying a camping backpack. Zhu Yao, who had calmed down, could not help but look at himself. He was even more shocked. He had become a child with small arms and legs. What exactly happened?
There was also a trace of light coming in from the opposite side of the cave. This meant that the child had fallen in from that hole. The two of them happened to collide in the hole. Zhu Yao, who was opposite, spoke first,"Oh my god! Our souls actually swapped!”
Soul Dislocation? Zhu Yao was a little at a loss. This was simply a fantasy story. This was something that would only happen in Liao Zhai. Although the stories of transmigration and rebirth were everywhere on the internet, they were just stories. No one in the real world had encountered such a thing. Moreover, the main characters in those stories had their souls attached to other people after they died. Now, two living people were pretending to be one. What was going on? Even if it was the most cutting-edge scientific theory, Hawking would not be able to explain what was happening in front of him. Zhu Yao's mind was blank. He felt that the knowledge he had learned was not enough. Everything had been overturned.
After the two of them calmed down, Zhu Yao, who was opposite them, spoke again,"Just now, our souls exchanged after we fell in. Should we crash again? Let's see if we can get our souls back!”
This was a good suggestion. The two of them immediately put it into practice. After nearly an hour, the temperature in the cave was higher than outside. The two of them were so tired that they were sweating, but their souls were still occupying the nest.
Next, the two of them had to face reality. Their bodies had been occupied by others forever. Zhu Yao looked at the clothes he was wearing. It was a student uniform. This kind of clothes could only be seen on television. It had long disappeared in society. He immediately thought of a very troublesome problem and said,"Today is December 30th, 2018. What's the date on your side?”
Zhu Yao was so shocked that he stuttered."It's only the 33rd year of the Republic of China, or 1934, December 30th.”
Zhu Yao calculated the time. Oh my god, there was a difference of 84 years. What should he do?
The two of them were 23 years old, while he was only 10 years old in this little boy's body.
At this moment, both of them had calmed down. In the face of such a tricky situation, what should they do next? They couldn't stay in the cave forever. They had to go out, but they couldn't figure out how to get out.
The first method was for everyone to return to the place where their souls were located. However, this method was the most problematic. Zhu Yao, who was opposite him, returned to his own world with someone else's body. Although he was familiar with this society, the society was not familiar with him. Survival would be a problem. Zhu Yao would also encounter big problems when he returned to his own world. Secondly, his relatives would definitely not believe him. Third, he did not have the ability to support himself. There was only one place he could think of, and that was the orphanage. This was unacceptable.
The second method was to go to 2018 together. There was no problem with the other party. It was just a process of familiarizing himself with his identity, but he would still end up in an orphanage.
The third method was to go to 1934 together. This time, he would have no problem. The other party had a big problem.
Excluding the three options above, the only way was for everyone to assume each other's identities and live in each other's world. Although it was still very difficult, the income guarantee and family ties were still there. It was nothing more than a process of adaptation. This was a choice that had to be made.
Zhu Yao felt that the other party was actually a very smart person. Although his mental age was only 10 years old, he was not flustered, nervous, or calm in the face of such a situation. Through conversation, Zhu Yao knew that the other party's name was Murong Yao, which was only one surname different from his own. This child was actually a child prodigy. He was already in the Physics Department of Nanjing National University and was currently a freshman. His family lived in a small mountain village in Qingyang, Anhui Province. He had practiced martial arts since he was young. Zhu Yao could feel that the quality of his current body was not worse than his original body. It seemed that he was not at a disadvantage.
Since everyone was going to live in the other party's world, everyone had to be honest and open about their own background. Moreover, they had to be detailed. Relatively speaking, Zhu Yao was relatively simple. Zhu Yao was an only son. His parents were both alive and working. His home was in Jiangning District, Nanjing. Zhu Yao went back every month. This was a buffer for the other party. The headache was that today's society had a great development from decades ago. It was as big as high-rise buildings and cars. It took Zhu Yao a lot of effort to answer all kinds of questions. Fortunately, the other party had a good memory and only asked each question once. As for the work-related problems, Zhu Yao was not worried. Although the other party was only ten years old, the knowledge he had was enough to teach elementary school mathematics. It was the other party's turn to introduce the situation to Zhu Yao. Although the other party spent more than two hours explaining in detail, Zhu Yao felt like he was suffering during these two hours. Knowledge was not a problem. In the past 100 years, it was the era of the explosion of human knowledge. Science and technology advanced by leaps and bounds. Looking back at 84 years ago, even the physics that Murong Yao was learning now was very simple to Zhu Yao. There were not many cutting-edge sciences at all. Electricity had not been popularized yet. It was still in Newton's era. The understanding of time and space was only three-dimensional space plus one-dimensional time. The theory of relativity had not yet appeared, and the concept of speed had not yet entered this space. As for the concept of time distortion, it was just a fantasy for the people of that era. What gave Zhu Yao a headache was that in a small mountain village with a few thousand families, most of them were able to get close to their relatives. This interpersonal relationship was complicated. There was another thing that gave Zhu Yao a headache. This guy had been practicing martial arts since he was five years old. Although the foundation of his body was still there, he did not know any martial arts moves at all. This was not something that could be mastered in a day or two.
Murong Yao explained and demonstrated his martial arts moves a few times before Zhu Yao could remember some of the basics. Murong Yao also told Zhu Yao that he was good at writing with a brush and practiced the ancient Wei stele style. This made Zhu Yao feel like he was going to die again. Of all the things he knew, he only knew these rare and unpopular things. Murong Yao told him the names of a few stele inscriptions and instructed him to be free to practice on his own.
The two of them communicated for an entire day before they roughly condensed some basic information about each other. Fortunately, Zhu Yao had dry food and water in his backpack, so the two of them did not starve. The light at the entrance of the cave had already begun to dim, which meant that it was almost evening. It was time for the two of them to part ways. Zhu Yao took out a key."There's a mountain bike at the foot of the mountain that belongs to me, so you rode it back. I'll take this backpack with me. It's filled with some outdoor daily necessities that you won't be able to use, but I might be able to use them.”
Both sides said goodbye to each other and climbed out of the opposite cave.
Zhu Yao climbed out of the hole and realized that this was still the place where he fell in the morning. He raised his head and looked at the sky. The space was still this space, but time had already shifted in the four-dimensional space.
Standing at the entrance of Nanjing National University, Zhu Yao, oh no, from now on, it was Murong Yao. Murong Yao's expression was a little dazed. This era seemed to be a little different from what he had imagined. In his era, he had never heard of Nanjing National University. Now, this university was famous in the country. Since things had already come to this point, he could only go with the flow.
In the next three years, Murong Yao did not return to his home in Wannan. Even during the winter, summer, and spring holidays, he would stay in Nanjing because he was nervous about his studies. It was not that he did not want to go back, but he did not dare to go back for fear of exposing himself. His sister was so close to him, but he did not dare to see her because he did not know Murong Yao at all. In the past three years, he did not dare to relax his calligraphy and martial arts practice for a moment. It was not until he felt that his calligraphy was a little decent that he sent a letter home. He did not dare to write too much for fear of exposing himself. Practicing martial arts was his top priority. Murong Yao knew that it was impossible to practice his martial arts exactly like his predecessor. He could only rely on his predecessor's foundation to think of other extraordinary moves. The nine willow branches that he had released during the day were the result of his hard work. However, it seemed that things did not go according to his wishes. It was too much of an overkill and it would cause others to be suspicious. Anyway, it did not matter. It was better to have martial arts than nothing. These two days, he seemed to be answering a huge test in his life. He had met a few important people in his life, but fortunately, he seemed to have fooled them all. Thinking about tomorrow, Murong Yao's head started to hurt again. Niu Zheng and the others had invited him to the training grounds tomorrow morning. It seemed like there would be another exam tomorrow. Moreover, the score could not be too high or too low. What should he do? Murong Yao himself was not sure, he could only wait and see. Anyway, he could not let the score be too low. If it was too low, people would look down on him. If it was too high, it would at most be suspicious. They hadn't been together for three years, and others didn't know how she had trained. As long as she could explain it, others could see it however they wanted. In a daze, Murong Yao entered dreamland.
