Chapter 0001: Growing Vegetables

Bang! Li Chengkong was thrown to the ground

The round, plump eunuch scrutinized Li Chengkong, clicking his tongue and saying: "Twenty strokes, tsk tsk, yet another pitiful person."

In his current identity, it makes no difference whether he speaks or remains silent; in Qin Tiannan's eyes, he is as insignificant as an ant, and who pays attention to what an ant has to say

"What’s wrong, has your brain also gone bad?" The burly young man replied coldly, "Even if it’s bad, we still have to work, hurry up!"

Bang! The door was kicked open.

A good man does not suffer immediate losses, an arm cannot bend against a thigh, as for life or death, let's wait and see for now

What he felt was amiss was not that he was so fortunate to be able to be reincarnated.

He felt a dull pain in the back of his head. When he reached out to touch it, the pain suddenly intensified. His vision darkened, and he fell backward, which exacerbated the pain, leading him to lose consciousness.

These twenty blows from the stick were not heavy, resulting in no significant injuries, just some pain in the back and buttocks

I have indeed been reborn as a young eunuch

The scene of angering Princess Qingming and being struck with a stick is very vague in the original owner's memory, as everything happened too quickly, so fast that the original owner was dazed, as if caught in a nightmare

As a supercomputer researcher, I was inspecting the supercomputer Yitian underwater when the ground suddenly shook violently, and I was thrown off my feet.

This makes everything feel unreal

Li Chengkong looked up at him, appearing dazed

Whether it is Qin Tiannan's speech or actions, or Old Wang's speech and actions, they are all ten times slower

Li Chengkong smiled

Becoming a eunuch is not worth it; it would be better to die directly, as one might even have the chance to be reincarnated as someone else

He slowly propped himself up

I never expected my luck to be so good, yet so bad at the same time

This made him feel that something was amiss

He revealed a chilling smile and turned to leave

This means that one can only grow vegetables here for a lifetime, live here, grow old here, and die here. No matter how well one performs, one cannot leave Xiaoling nor be promoted.

As if one is facing a computer.

He has just received the memories of this body and is still in a state of confusion, faintly sensing that something is not quite right

Li Chengkong remained motionless, allowing himself to be carried for more than 200 meters, stopping in front of a pinewood cabin halfway up the mountain

The Xiaoling Mausoleum is located in the lofty mountains more than 100 li south of Yujing, serving as the burial site for the emperors of the Great Moon Dynasty, with a total of twenty-three mausoleums now existing

"No one should say anyone is pitiful," Qin Tiannan said coldly. "If we don't harvest two hundred cabbages this autumn, neither of you will escape the stick!"

He suppressed his humiliation, yet did not forget to survey his surroundings

A burly young man with a face full of acne strode in, taking a few steps to reach him: "Li Chengkong, I say, haven't you lain around long enough? It's been several days! You didn't come here to enjoy yourself; you came here to work, so hurry up!"

Finally remembered everything

To the south, the area is open and flat, extending with multiple archways, city gates, and sacred paths, exuding a solemn and dignified atmosphere

In the southwest, there is a lake, its surface like a mirror, reflecting the white clouds in the sky

His round face revealed a friendly smile: "Oh, Chief Qin, what brings you here?"

Li Chengkong has fully accepted the memories of the young eunuch who shares his name, and is aware of the identity of this youth, Qin Tiannan, the head of the Divine Palace Supervisory Office

I am sitting on a hard bed, a thin layer of quilt already soaked, and there is a taste of medicine in my mouth

A courtyard was built at the foot of a mountain in the northwest, hidden within the woods, making it imperceptible to outsiders

He was drenched in cold sweat, his face pale

Understood, understood. Old Wang said with a smile, "Rest assured, I won't cause you any trouble, Chief Qin!"

Before me lies a wasteland, approximately 5 acres in size. The pinewood cabin at the edge of the land is newly constructed, still exuding the fragrance of pine.

Li Chengkong watched Qin Tiannan leave without saying a word

He directly grabbed Li Chengkong by the collar and strode out, as if he were effortlessly carrying a small chick

The sunlight radiates in myriad beams, it is precisely morning, the rosy glow illuminates the courtyard brightly, warming him gently

Qin Tiannan abruptly threw off the thin blanket, yanked him off the bed, and coldly said: "Hurry up!"

"Hehe, little one, starting today, we will work together, just like grasshoppers on the same rope." Old Wang patted him on the shoulder and said with a kind smile, "My health is deteriorating day by day, and I don't know if I will wake up after a night's sleep, so the work will have to rely on you."

Despite flailing about, one inevitably falls back onto the water's surface, swallowed by the silver serpent, and everything goes dark before one knows anything further

He reached his hand into the quilt and felt around, revealing a look of helplessness on his face as if he were about to cry without tears

A sudden scream echoed from the courtyard in the northwest corner

Seeing them, two burly young men stopped sweeping and looked over here with cheerful smiles

Emperor Taizu established the Great Yue dynasty and set the capital in Yujing. After the Dragon's reign returned to the heavens, he was buried within this Xiaoling.

However, Li Chengkong had bad luck. On the morning of the second day after arriving at Xiaoling, when he got up to wash his face in the courtyard, he slipped and fell backward, hitting the back of his head on a stone on the ground, losing consciousness and being taken over by his own body

Li Chengkong straightened his collar and looked around

Old Wang, hiding again to slack off!" Qin Tiannan snorted, "I brought you a companion, sent over from the capital after receiving twenty lashes for growing vegetables.

The planting of vegetables at the Xiaoling Tomb is, according to regulations, not permitted to be relocated or transferred

But now he can clearly replay that scene

Li Chengkong suddenly sat up

This body is also known as Li Chengkong, who was originally responsible for cleaning the Dongyang Gate of the palace. However, he was careless and continued to sweep while Princess Qingming was passing by, causing dust to fall into the princess's eyes, which infuriated her. As a result, he was beaten with twenty strokes and sent to Xioling to tend to the vegetables.

Although the capital of the Great Moon was later moved to the Sacred Capital, emperors of successive dynasties were still buried at the Xiaoling Mausoleum

What is even more unsettling is that he feels everything around him has slowed down, everything has decelerated tenfold

Creak. The door of the wooden house opened, and a short, plump old eunuch emerged. His beard and hair were all white, his face as white as snow, with a round face and large, round eyes. His complexion was rosy, presenting a visage of white hair and youthful appearance.

"Verbose!" Qin Tiannan snorted coldly, pulling Li Chengkong out of the southern gate and along a gravel path through the woods

Li Chengkong is not fortunate; although he himself may be lucky, it may not be to a great extent

This is a meticulous calculation made with the rigor expected of an engineer

Qin Tiannan shouted: "Do your work!"

Is this alive again? But why do the furniture and decorations look so strange? Why are there three beds?

This is a spacious courtyard, measuring over one hundred meters on each side, with ten rooms arranged in two rows on the east and west sides. There are doors on both the north and south sides, indicating that this is merely one layer of the courtyard.

The Great Moon Dynasty

Suspended in mid-air, I saw the ground being torn apart like paper, and the lake water surged, instantly submerging the sword of heaven.

He turned his head and looked around

One can see the sky at that time, the sunlight, the attire of Princess Qingming, her cold and indifferent expression, her stunningly beautiful face, as well as the coldness and disdain reflected on the almost identical beautiful faces of the two palace maids beside her

The towering peaks are embraced on three sides, with twenty-three massive tombs built against the mountains, resembling twenty-three colossal beasts sitting in the north and gazing southward

Where is this

He is coming out from the southernmost room of the west wing, where two young eunuchs are sweeping the courtyard in the sunlight

"Chief Qin, this kid really has quite the luck," a young man said with a smile. "But take it easy, don't really put his life at risk; Chief Qin, you still have to bear the responsibility."

When he woke up again, he lay motionless on the couch, staring at the coffered ceiling, lost in thought.

The lake water flows out, dividing into several small rivers that weave through the valley like a jade belt

He feels weak and powerless all over, and even if he wants to hurry, he cannot do so

As he stepped out of the house, a gust of wind blew, causing Li Chengkong to shiver involuntarily; his body was too weak, and he felt a dull pain in his lower back and buttocks

This state of mine is likely related to the supercomputer Yitian

It is as if the memories of this body have been made into a film, and his recollections are like a playback of that film, with the speed of the playback being controllable at will, whether fast or slow, enlarged or reduced.

He has a vague suspicion

That's good! Qin Tiannan glared at Li Chengkong with a stern face, then cast a glance at Old Wang: "Work properly; if the work is done well, you can be as lazy as you want. But if the work is not done well, hmph!"

A powerful current transforms into a silver serpent, writhing across the surface of the lake
