Chapter 1: My life is like walking on thin ice
"His Majesty."
"His Majesty."
A duck's voice sounded in Xiao Mo's ears.
Xiao Mo slowly opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw was a man dressed as a eunuch.
Looking at this huge room.
In an instant, memories flooded into Xiao Mo's mind.
In his previous life, Xiao Mo was an orphan. He worked part-time to earn money for university and started working after graduation.
Just when life was getting better day by day, Xiao Mo was walking on the national highway and was hit by a large truck.
Xiao Mo traveled through time and space to become the body of an emperor also named "Xiao Mo".
But the situation of the predecessor was not very good.
Because the previous emperor had no children, Xiao Mo was adopted.
After the death of the previous emperor, he entrusted Xiao Mo to the care of four ministers, but Yan Shanao gradually monopolized power, formed a clique and became tyrannical, and even killed Su Su, who was also a regent.
What’s more, the current Empress Dowager is Yan Shanao’s sister.
These two people are one inside and one outside.
Now, he, the emperor, is just a decoration.
"Your Majesty, it's time to take your medicine." Wei Xun held the medicine bowl and served beside Xiao Mo.
Wei Xun is Xiao Mo's personal eunuch and once served the late emperor.
Although Wei Xun appeared to be obedient to Yan Shanao, Xiao Mo knew in his heart that he was still loyal to him.
After Xiao Mo drank the bitter medicine, a maid came in and reported: "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister heard that Your Majesty had caught a cold and came to visit Your Majesty."
"Hurry up and let the Prime Minister come in." Xiao Mo said hurriedly and was about to get out of bed to greet him.
Although Xiao Mo was very dissatisfied with Yan Shanao, he still had to pretend.
Moreover, he can pretend to be harmless and paralyze the opponent.
Then find an opportunity to kill Yan Shanao.
After a while.
A middle-aged man with a long sword strode in, bowed, and said loudly, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."
Looking at Yan Shanao's appearance, Xiao Mo's eyes became empty.
Enter the palace with a sword.
This shows how much the other party does not take himself, the emperor, seriously.
"Why do you need to bow, Father Prime Minister?" Xiao Mo hurried forward and helped Yan Shanao up. "Why are you here, Father Prime Minister?"
"I heard that Your Majesty had caught a cold, so I came to see how Your Majesty was doing."
As he spoke, Yan Shanao looked at the palace maids in the room.
"Come here, drag these palace maids away and behead them. They can't even take care of His Majesty, so what use are they?"
"Prime Minister, please spare my life."
Several palace maids were so frightened that they immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.
Some eunuchs came in and tried to drag the palace maids away.
How could Xiao Mo not know that Yan Shanao deliberately killed these palace maids for him to see?
The reason was that not long ago, Wang Can, the deputy censor of the Censorate, secretly entered the palace to find his predecessor to discuss how to get rid of the "thief".
As a result, Yan Shanao found out.
But Wang Can was the second-in-command of the Censorate, and even the emperor could not easily kill the censors of the Great Zhou.
So Yan Shanao found a crime against Wang Can and demoted him and sent him out of Beijing.
By killing these maids, Yan Shanao wanted to express, "Your Majesty, please do not have any other ideas. I have the final say in everything around you."
"Father, the late emperor always taught me to have a kind heart. These palace maids are not guilty of capital crimes, so just let them leave the palace." Xiao Mo said slowly.
Yan Shanao stared at Xiao Mo for a moment before speaking: "Since Your Majesty says so, then give them ten lashes each and let them leave the palace."
Yan Shanao waved his hand and asked the eunuchs to pull the palace maids out.
"Your Majesty, please take good care of yourself. I will personally select a few palace maids to take care of you."
"Thank you for your concern, father." Xiao Mo showed a simple and honest smile.
"Then your majesty, have a good rest. I will take my leave now."
"Father Prime Minister, take care. Eunuch Wei, please see him off."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After sending Yan Shanao away, Xiao Mo lay back on the bed, unable to help but recall a sentence: "My life is like walking on thin ice. Can I really reach the other side?"
And just when Xiao Mo was sighing.
A book appeared in his mind.
There are three words written on the cover - Book of the Century.
At Xiao Mo's will, the scroll opened on its own, and words emerged from it one by one -
[The Book of Hundred Worlds. Using this book, the host can create a character and experience different lives.
In each life, the host will receive different tasks, and will receive certain rewards after completing the tasks.
Do you want to use it?】
Xiao Mo decisively chose "Use!"
Please write down the name of the character you want to create.
Xiao Mo thought about it and decided to just use his original name to experience life, which would make him feel more involved.
[The clone "Xiao Mo" has been created.]
The Book of Hundred Worlds releases a huge suction force like a black hole.
Xiao Mo's consciousness was sucked in in an instant.
After a while, as Xiao Mo regained consciousness, he found himself standing in front of a wooden house on the mountain.
The Book of Hundred Worlds appeared in Xiao Mo's mind again——
[The host has created a new clone, named Xiao Mo.
The flow of time in the Book of Hundred Worlds is one hundred times faster than in the outside world.
When the host's consciousness leaves the Book of Hundred Worlds, the time within the Book of Hundred Worlds will pause.】
[Character background: You are the son of Xiao Jing, the King of Liang. You have average talent, but your father cannot stand your mediocrity.
When you were eight years old, your father knocked you unconscious and transplanted a little girl's natural sword bone into your body. They lied to you that it was a sword bone that was awakened later in life.
From then on, you became a genius in swordsmanship. At only eighteen years old, you were already a swordsman at the Nascent Soul stage.
But you are a decent person. When you learned that your sword bone came from a little girl, and that the little girl became a disabled person because her sword bone was forcibly taken out, you were greatly shocked.
You had a huge argument with your family, ran away from home, joined the Longquan Sword Sect, and became a leisurely elder of the Longquan Sword Sect. At the same time, you kept searching for the whereabouts of the little girl, wanting to use everything you had to make amends to her.
[Task distribution: The little girl you are looking for is named Jiang Qingyi. She will appear on Xuanwu Street in Black Wind City (before the host finds her, she will continue to locate Jiang Qingyi's position for the host). Please take her up the mountain and teach her swordsmanship.
The mission duration is fifty years.
When the mission is concluded, the higher Jiang Qingyi's realm is, the richer the reward the host will receive.
"Fifty years. Fortunately, the time in the Book of Hundred Worlds is a hundred times faster than the outside world. Otherwise, I would never be able to complete this task until I die."
Xiao Mo withdrew his attention from the Book of Hundred Worlds and found a pool of water to look in.
This clone looks exactly like me in my previous life.
This is good, I feel more involved.
Picking up the sword on the table, Xiao Mo went straight down the mountain.
"Selling buns."
"Freshly baked buns."
On Xuanwu Street in Heifeng City, the owner of the bun shop was shouting hard.
A short-haired little beggar wearing tattered linen clothes, with a thin body, a face covered in dust, and whose gender could not be identified, was approaching stealthily.
While the boss wasn't paying attention, the little beggar wrapped a few buns in dirty cloth and ran away!
"You stole the buns again!"
The boss reacted, picked up a rolling pin and chased after him.
"Stop right there! I'm going to break your legs this time!"
