I've never felt happy to become an immortal.

Chapter 7: Jiangnan is beautiful, the scenery is familiar to me

I fell asleep on the soft bed, but when I opened my eyes, I found that I almost drowned in the stream.

This mood is certainly not beautiful.

Bai Xuan felt that after dozens of lifetimes of trials and tribulations, his temper and character had become very good, but the only thing was that his bad temper when waking up was a product engraved in his DNA and was difficult to get rid of.

When he stood up from the stream, the throbbing pain in his temples reminded him that his body was already overwhelmed and had even crashed.

"Arrow, penetrating wound..."

After taking a look at the wound on his chest, Bai Xuan casually pressed two acupoints on his chest and ignored it.

It was only a fatal wound.

Because this injury will heal itself.

Every time he crossed the Darkmoon Portal and entered a new body, there would be a healing effect. This healing would restore the body to 60% of its health limit in a short period of time. Although it could not restore him to his complete state, it could at least ensure that the injury would not worsen further.

The wound stopped bleeding at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it would heal in ten minutes at most. I don't think there would be any hidden injuries left.

But that's not the point.

The key point is, how did the original body die?
My ears moved, and a sharp sound of breaking through the air was heard in the air.

"Fire arrows!"

"This kid is not dead!"

The sound of the bowstring being struck was extremely crisp, and there was more than one sound.

In this world of true cultivation, although arrows are arrows, their power is no less than that of later firearms, because the materials of the arrows are different and the archers who use them are also different.

When the Qin Dynasty was founded, the strongest battalion of Qin elite soldiers in the army was composed of soldiers who all wore black robes, held forty-stone strong bows, and equipped themselves with armor-piercing and air-breaking strong wind arrows. When the strong bows were fully strung, the range could reach two thousand steps, and anyone hit would be killed. They were truly human snipers.

However, the power of the bows and arrows this time obviously did not reach the average level of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, when martial virtues were abundant.

Judging from the sound from the machine's PA, it wasn't even a bow and arrow, but a crossbow.

Using a crossbow means that one's cultivation level is not high enough to wield a bow.

Bai Xuan easily avoided these arrows. It was not difficult at all...it was purely based on his sixth sense.

As he passed through the Dark Moon Realm Gate more and more times, although his cultivation increased and decreased, his soul remained unchanged and became more solid and heavy. As long as he concentrated, he could sense any movement within a radius of ten feet.

This was just an ordinary thing for Bai Xuan, but in the eyes of those assassins it was a very terrifying scene.

In the dim night, the arrow seemed to have eyes and brushed past the young man's body again and again.

Several consecutive empty shots missed.

The crossbow arrows have been used up!
They all thought that it would not be difficult to deal with a young man who had not entered the country, and each of them carried only five or six crossbows.

The assassins looked at each other and drew their swords.

"spread!"

"Take the beast lock!"

"Form a formation to surround and kill!"

Looking at the scene of this group of assassins jumping around with iron chains and swords in their hands like they were performing a shaman dance, Bai Xuan sighed.

"To possess a human body is to bear the consequences of human karma."

He squatted down and pulled out a crossbow arrow made of fine steel. He placed it on the palm of his right hand and weighed it gently twice. The fine steel crossbow arrow spun rapidly at his fingertips like a ballpoint pen.

He made a gesture with his free left hand towards the assassins who were facing a formidable enemy.

"Come."

"I'll teach you how to kill."

……

At dawn.

Bai Xuan, who had been burying people for half the night, arrived outside Yunzhou City on a reed-haired horse.

Yunzhou is located in the south of the Yangtze River, a land of fish and rice, with arable land and water sources. In an era based on agriculture, this is a symbol of wealth.

The true cultivation world and the real world have some similar names, but the mountains, rivers and geography are obviously different. For example, Yunzhou in the real world is located in the north, while Yunzhou in the true cultivation world is located in the south of the Yangtze River, a land of fish and rice.

Bai Xuan sat on horseback and could see the towering city walls of Yunzhou from afar.

Regardless of ancient or modern times, defensive fortifications are very important. In ancient times, a common saying about rebellion was "store up food, build high walls, and slowly become king." The higher and stronger the city walls are, the more difficult it will be for the enemy to break into the city, turning a war of annihilation into a war of attrition.

But the defensive fortifications of the land of fish and rice were so well built, which proved that it must have suffered from the ravages of war... The Jiangnan area of ​​this world is not a place that does not know about war. On the contrary, it has been in the midst of three wars all year round.

The young man sat on the horse, slowing down along the way, slowly sorting out the relevant memories in his body and organizing the current situation.

Although he was not sure what changes had taken place in the Dark Moon Realm Gate, there was no doubt that he was now in the world of true cultivation.

Perhaps it was the upgrade of the boundary gate, or perhaps it had some ideas of its own, which led to him being forced to log into the other world for the first time without knowing it.

Bai Xuan really wanted to trace the origin of the Dark Moon Realm Gate, but he had no idea about its origin, so he could only put it aside for the time being.

Let’s talk about the current situation.

The original owner of this body was named 'Bai Erlang'. He was the apprentice and adopted son of a restaurant owner in Li County under Yunzhou. He lost his parents at a young age and was raised by the restaurant owner.

Although the restaurant owner is a restaurant owner, he is also a gangster. He cannot be called the godfather of the gang, but he is also a person who sets the rules in the underworld. He also does some bounty hunting business in secret, and eliminates some famous bandits on the bounty list.

Now that the situation in Li County has changed, Bai Erlang went to Yunzhou to call for help, but was killed by an assassin on the way. Before he died, he thought that there was a traitor in the restaurant who revealed his whereabouts.

That's pretty much the case.

Although the original body still has some memories, they are not complete. When a person dies, it is like a light going out. Bai Xuan can only observe a few things through the fragments of memory left by the other party.

At first, I was a little resistant to this kind of behavior that seemed like taking over someone else's body, but after experiencing it more, I became more open-minded. After all, the original body has passed away, and all I can do is to fulfill the other person's last wish.

Therefore, we have to make this trip to Yunzhou to find the Taoist Master Menghu.

But there is no need to be too anxious.

The restaurant owner said it would be best to stay outside for a while before returning to Li County.

This just happened to be what Bai Xuan was thinking at the moment. He also needed some time to get familiar with this unfamiliar world of true cultivation again.

...He took out his ID card at the gate of Yunzhou City, and after it was checked and found to be fine, he was allowed into the city.

The ID card of this era is called "Fu".

People who often watch TV dramas are familiar with the term "tiger talisman". In contrast, there are the fish talismans that were extremely popular during the Tang Dynasty, the tortoise talismans during the Wu Zhou Dynasty, etc., which are all names for a type of identity card.

In the world of true cultivation, the talisman is equivalent to a person’s ID card. When one turns fourteen, one must go to the local government office to collect it.

This regulation existed as early as the Qin Dynasty.

The talisman and household registration system are closely related and are the foundation of a country.

However, during the 500 years of the Qin Dynasty, one could not leave a state with just a token, and other procedures such as a road permit were required. However, in today's Southern Dynasty, there seemed to be no such restrictions.

Bai Xuan weighed the talisman in his hand and felt that its material was like copper and jade, and had a sense of blood connection. This was different from the Qin Dynasty. It seemed that the forging technology had been greatly improved.

Officially entering Yunzhou City from the city gate, Bai Xuan looked up and saw a beautiful scenery.

It is February, winter is gone and spring is here.

A little bit of spring chill cannot blow away the happy spring breeze.

A day's plan begins in the morning, and the morning market is always very lively.

Walking along the road, you can see new things everywhere.

Although I am a person from modern Earth, I was still dazzled at this moment, and felt a bit like I was seeing Granny Liu in the Grand View Garden.

The two worlds have different historical developments, and naturally the cultural customs and products derived from them are also different. Except for the similar underlying logic of the operation of these worlds, at first glance, they appear to be completely different worlds.

At least, the landscape of Yunzhou is completely different from that of the Qin Dynasty.

It mainly focuses on two points.

The first is naturally the endless stream of new products and food.

The second is people.

At least 60% of the people walking on the streets have strange facial features.

"oops!"

A low cry was heard amid the bustling crowd.

Bai Xuan stopped and looked, and saw a five-year-old child falling in front of him with tears in his eyes.

"Are you okay?"

He pulled the little baby up, but when he touched the child's wrist, he felt the cold scales on the child's wrist. Looking again, he saw that the child had grown some fish-scale-like cuticles behind his ears and on his neck, reflecting pink rainbow light in the sunlight.

"Well, it's okay." The child wiped his eyes, said thank you, and ran back to his parents a few steps away.

The other parents bowed to Bai Xuan from a few steps away, then turned and walked away with their child.

Bai Xuan's eyes drooped slightly. The husband of this couple had a 30-centimeter-long wolf tail on his back.

Bai Xuan had seen people with this kind of appearance before, and they were usually called "monsters".

During the Qin Dynasty, this kind of people would be killed immediately once they appeared, and there would be no possibility of them being spared.

But now no one cares about its strange appearance.

Or in other words... as long as the streets are full of people with strange appearances, no one will care about these things.

Bai Xuan glanced sideways.

In front of the rouge shop, a woman with long ears on her head was picking up powder;

A sheep's head was hanging on the butcher's stall, and a butcher with ox horns on his head was sharpening his knife and shouting, "Dog meat for sale at a low price."

Ten feet away, a street performer performing a monkey show with a stick had a monkey tail wrapped around his waist.

On both sides of the road, rickshaw pullers waiting for business were chewing carrots with big mouthfuls. Under their short shirts, they had explosive muscles and their hair was shiny and long like horsehair.

"..."

For a moment, an indescribable strange feeling came over me.

Bai Xuan thought to himself, Oh no, I’ve become a heretic.

Jiangnan is good, and the scenery is old.

But this is no longer the Jiangnan I am familiar with.

Time is merciless, and five hundred years have passed in a flash.

“I am a stranger in a strange land.”

Bai Xuan exhaled and brushed away the strange feeling in his heart.

He is not an old-fashioned person who would want to kill monsters all over the streets.

Furthermore, this style of painting is a delight for all the fans of Furui. Don’t underestimate the XP system of the outstanding young people of the 21st century.

Furthermore, although there are many people with strange appearances, there are also many people with normal appearances. People from other worlds are used to it, so what is there for people on Earth to worry about?

"First, we need to figure out what happened during these five hundred years of time difference."

"Let's go to the bookstore and have a look."

"Using history as a mirror, we can know the ups and downs."

……

It was almost noon.

A Fire Cloud carriage drove into Yunzhou City. The Fire Cloud horse was a breed second only to the Thousand Mile Horse among the Ten Thousand Mile Horses. It had the blood of exotic beasts and was worth hundreds of gold.

Although a little dusty, the horse was steady as it ran and showed no sign of fatigue.

The carriage moved smoothly and stopped steadily in front of the main gate of a college.

The clear voice of a 28-year-old girl was heard in the car.

"Miss, we've arrived at the Xu family private school."
