Afeng is a refugee, a refugee child kindly adopted by the old man Cao at the inn - this is a well-known fact among the nearby villagers.
Because of Old Man Cao's stubborn character and his wife's death early.
So until he was quite old, he still remained childless.
In today's era, it can be said that it is a treasonous act to renounce one's heirs and cut off one's incest.
So some relatives and friends of the same clan proposed to give him an adopted child to inherit the incense of the Cao family, but Old Man Cao refused without hesitation.
In his words at the time, the old man was the only one in the Cao family, and he didn't have any land or property. If he adopted the family, wouldn't he suffer the consequences along with the old man?
It wasn't until he met Afeng, who was still a refugee at the time, that Old Cao, who had given up on himself because of his wife's death, regained his energy and dragged Li Yanran's mother to find a hard job guarding an inn.
More than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye. The young boy who couldn't even speak successfully grew up to the age of sixteen or seventeen under the care of Old Man Cao.
Just because Old Man Cao himself has a bad temper and has been alone for half his life, his care for Afeng naturally only stays at the most basic material level.
In fact, in the eyes of many people, it is a miracle that Afeng can survive to this day with such a tough-tempered rough guy. Don't force too much on other aspects.
However, what outsiders, even Old Man Cao, don't know is that Afeng's ability to live to such an old age is not due to some unreliable luck.
Afeng has memories of his past life, or to be more precise, he often dreams of some vague memory fragments.
Born into a wealthy family, raised in a boudoir, surrounded by flocks of birds and maidens...
As Afeng grew older, the people and events in his dreams became clearer and clearer, as if he had really lived in the dream.
At first, Afeng didn't think there was anything strange about these dreams.
Even if he occasionally told Old Man Cao, he would just be fooled by the nonsense that the other party regarded as a child.
But when Afeng started learning to read and write, he was surprised to realize that he seemed to be a little different from ordinary people.
Because normal people don’t have the same dream all year round, nor do they understand the life in a deep house so well...
From then on, the precocious Afeng began to consciously hide his specialness, and then slowly grew up like an ordinary child.
However, in the process of growing up, Afeng consciously explored the "world" in his dreams.
At first, Afeng thought he was a girl in his previous life.
After all, being born in a boudoir and growing up among daughters, this doesn't look like the life a normal man should have.
But as the dream gradually became clearer, and there were already differences between men and women, Afeng realized that the person in his dream was actually the same male as himself.
I feel sad all day long, and I am often teased by the sisters around me, which makes me cry...
From the perspective of Afeng, who grew up with Old Man Cao, the guy in the dream had no masculinity at all except for his identity and gender.
This "cognition" lasted until Afeng was fifteen years old.
In that year, Afeng in real life had begun to follow Old Man Cao to station at the inn, and came into contact with all kinds of people from all walks of life.
In the same year, the guy in the dream also grew up to fifteen years old, and a major event happened that was enough to ruin the other person's life.
The wealthy family in the dream had their house confiscated...
Afeng didn't know exactly what happened, and he believed that the guy who grew up in Wenrou Township didn't know either.
Afeng only knew that since that day, the sisters and maids in the dream had left "him" one after another.
Or be sold to a brothel, or become someone else's slave...
At that moment, the once wealthy dignitaries became animals and slaves that were inferior to ordinary people.
If it were Afeng, although he would be sad, he would also be motivated by it.
Whether in prison or on the hook, Afeng will risk his life to redeem and rescue the family members and sisters who grew up with him.
However, although the person in the dream was Afeng's previous life, he was not Afeng in this life.
After that cowardly guy was rescued from prison by his loyal servant and friend, the first thing he thought of was not to find his family who had been sold to other places, but to simply find a clean temple and become a monk.
waste! coward! Softie!
Although Afeng didn't know how many times he cursed the guy, he could only watch the "dream" continue to dream, and watch the guy continue to live with that "dead love" look.

"He is indeed a reincarnated soul boy!"
Then Pei Wende's fingers slowly left Afeng's forehead, and an excited smile appeared on Pei Wende's face.
Even Xiao Qing, who had been hidden under his clothes, couldn't help but poke his head out again, looking at what was happening in front of him in shock.
Because a complete life soul was floating out from Afeng's Tianling Cap, but it was firmly bound in place by the "psychic spell" laid by Pei Wende.
He is not a false "auspicious soul boy" like himself. The boy who turned into a zombie in front of him is most likely the reincarnation of a real powerful person.
Only those who have practiced for a long time and have great abilities that surpass ordinary practitioners can still have such a powerful life after reincarnation.
This powerful life force even far surpasses that of Pei Wende's Mohuluojia. This is why he can still be forced to stay in the body after the death of his body in this life, and has been reluctant to go to reincarnation.
"You just don't know that this reincarnated great man is following the Taoist path of 'disintegrating a corpse into an immortal'?"
"Or is it the Buddhist method of 'reincarnation and rebirth'?"
Pei Wende whispered softly, his tone full of emotion.
Because no matter which cultivator the reincarnated great power was, if he could retain such a powerful soul, his Taoism during his lifetime must have surpassed the "innate realm" of ordinary souls and golden bodies.
What is "innate"?
Its essence is that acquired creatures have shed the flaws of their own species through various secret methods and become new beings of higher levels and dimensions.
The golden elixir of Taoism, the golden body of Buddhism, and even the evil methods of heretics...
In fact, they are all manifestations of this "innateness". The only difference lies in their different paths.
After the transformation of the body, the next thing the practitioner should pursue is the immortality of the soul and the transcendence of the spirit...
This is what the Taoists call the "realm of the Yins and Gods" and the Buddhists call the "realm of the Dharma."
The Yin God communicates with the souls of the underworld, eliminates one's own death, and transforms the soul of life into a being similar to the ghosts and gods of heaven and earth.
In this way, Taoist practitioners who are "successful in Yin Shen" can preserve their spiritual wisdom, reincarnate, and restart their spiritual practice in the next life with the help of the powerful spirit in their previous life.
The Buddhist Dharma is different. It does not insist on incorporating the two souls of heaven and earth into the Yuan Shen. Instead, it regards itself as the incarnation of "Buddha" in the human world and cultivates the Dharma of all Buddhas.
In this way, Buddhist practitioners who are "accomplished in the Dharma" are equivalent to the incarnation of the Buddha and have deep roots of wisdom. Even if they fall into reincarnation countless times, they will one day understand their past and present lives and practice again.
