midnight.
The moonlight is hazy, like a dream.
The sound of sharpening knives is endless.
A whetstone, half a ladle of water, and a long rusty knife.
Under the bright moonlight, Chu Mu carefully polished the blade on the whetstone.
This rusty long knife also slowly revealed a touch of brightness amidst the harsh friction sound.
Wow...
A handful of clean water was poured down, and the rust and stains washed away, and the mottled spots were gone. The blade was bright, and under the bright moonlight, a dazzling cold glow followed the blade and circulated in the courtyard.
After looking at the long knife for a moment, Chu Mu pursed his lips and looked around the unfamiliar courtyard. An unspeakable loneliness and confusion emerged between his brows.
It is hard to imagine that a person can live in modern society one second, and then be in a completely unfamiliar environment the next second.
Strange times, strange people, even strange incomplete memories... strange bodies...
Chu Mu slowly lowered his head, and under the moonlight, the face reflected in the clear water in the gourd was vaguely visible.
He was obviously looking at himself, but the face reflected in the water was completely unfamiliar. Even though he had seen this face more than once, this feeling was still indescribably weird and terrifying.
It's horrifying and weird, but there is a concept that seems to perfectly explain his experience.
Time travel?
Chu Mu shook his head secretly, not knowing whether to be happy or sad.
After traveling through time for a few days, combined with the somewhat incomplete memories of the original owner in his mind, he probably figured out what kind of situation he had traveled through.
This should be an ancient dynasty named Dachu, and the original owner was located in a small town on the northern border of Dachu.
Although he is a great Chu, after these days of understanding, it seems that it is not any dynasty he knows, but an unknown and different world.
And he... It should be said that the life experience of the original owner of this body is also very simple. His mother died young, and his father was originally working as an errand in the county inspection department, and was later transferred to Nanshan Town. As a result, he was transferred only two years later. He died in the line of duty and his body was never recovered.
The original owner was so sad that he passed out directly, but he, like a dove occupying a magpie's nest, broke into this world unexpectedly and became the Chu Mu of this era and this small town.
After dealing with the funeral of the original owner's father in a hazy manner, and then being alone for a few days, Chu Mu felt a little more comfortable with this extremely sudden time travel in this era.
The end of autumn was approaching, and the night was already a bit chilly. A cool breeze blew by. Chu Mu subconsciously tightened his clothes, and his heavy thoughts dissipated a lot.
The long knife was circulating in his hand, and he carefully sheathed the blade. Just as he was about to enter the house, Chu Mu seemed to remember something, and he muttered silently in his heart, and a light blue transparent light curtain appeared silently in Chu Mu's field of vision.
[Name: Chu Mu. 】
[Skill: None]
[Spiritual radiance value: 99.9%]
The mysterious light curtain, just like the skill panel in the game, obviously does not belong to this ancient time and space.
Chu Mu was naturally used to it. After all, time travel has happened, so how could there be no golden finger that comes standard for time travellers?
And the function of his golden finger is as clear as the light screen.
The name, of course, refers to himself.
The so-called skills, as the name suggests, are very clear. Although there are no skills displayed on this light screen panel, I think the reason is that certain requirements have not been met. I have just arrived and have been busy with the funeral of the original owner's father. He didn't have time to experiment in detail.
The "spiritual value" refers to a certain kind of energy that Chu Mu cannot yet understand. The way to obtain this energy is not difficult to say, easy to say...but also not easy...
As long as Chu Mu himself is extremely focused on doing something, whether it is reading, exercising, thinking, or even sharpening the knife just now, as long as he is focused without any distractions, this "spiritual radiance value" can be increased.
This has reached a value of 99.9%, which is naturally what Chu Mu has been thinking about these days.
As for the effect of "spiritual radiance value", although there are many speculations, Chu Mu has not yet figured out the specific effect.
"Maybe it has something to do with skills..."
Looking at the "spiritual radiance value" value on the light screen panel, Chu Mu secretly guessed.
As his thoughts were flowing, Chu Mu's eyes suddenly condensed, and he saw that the spiritual radiance value on the light screen panel had reached 99.9%. It seemed that because of his concentrated thinking just now, he had also reached 100%. value.
And at this moment, after the spiritual radiance value, a small flashing + sign also appeared.
"add a bit?"
When Chu Mu saw this scene, these two words subconsciously appeared in his mind.
After all, he had read countless articles in his previous life, so Chu Mu naturally had these insights.
But after watching for a moment, Chu Mu became a little confused. He didn't have any skills yet, how could he add points?
And there are no options for adding points on the light curtain panel.
There won't be any problems with his golden finger, right?
After thinking for a moment, Chu Mu pursed his lips, but looked at the newly sharpened long knife in his hand.
The knife is a family heirloom. Strictly speaking, it should be distributed by the Inspection Department. The father of the original owner used this knife. After he died on the job, according to common sense, this knife should have been returned to the Inspection Department. .
But because his father died in the line of duty, according to custom, in addition to a fairly generous pension, the son could also replace his father and continue to receive the public job.
Although Chu Mu had not yet fully adapted to his new arrival, he would not lose his official job. After the funeral was done, he went to the county inspection department to secure his job.
The son replaced his father and became an inspector at the Nanshan Town Inspection Station.
Naturally, there was no need to hand in this inspection saber, and it naturally became the original owner's accessory sword after he assumed the post.
There is a sword, and naturally there are some sword techniques and styles.
The father of the original owner had served in the Inspection Department for many years. Although he didn't have any great skills, he was quite good at the sword skills practiced by the Inspection Department.
In his memory, the original owner used to practice many sword techniques with his father when he was young, and he could barely be considered a skill.
Sword techniques and styles...should be considered skills, right?
Thinking in his mind, Chu Mu couldn't help but recall the sword technique in the memory of the original owner. After a long time, Chu Mu came back to his senses from his thoughts.
He took out the sword from its sheath, and then slowly waved the long sword while recalling.
The so-called sword skills cannot be said to be unpredictable. Although patrolling is a duty to maintain public order, it can also be regarded as half a military duty.
The training in the army is nothing more than basic moves such as chopping, slashing, and teasing, which are not too complicated.
After only a moment of groping and practicing, with the original master's training foundation, Chu Mu could already wield a long knife with style.
Of course, it was only limited to appearance. No matter how specific it was, Chu Mu felt that the scene of plundering corn fields when he was young should be more impressive than he was now.
After all, this long iron sword is not light at all. It can't be compared to a small wooden stick that can be used vertically and horizontally when I was a child...
