Zhao State, Niushou Village
"If you become an owl and fight, call Wu Bai more!"
"Haha! Old man Lu, you lost!"
In front of a thatched house at the entrance of the village, a young man dressed in white laughed with a proud look on his face.
The male villagers who passed by were all walking quickly when they passed near this thatched house, and they tried to stay as far away from the boy as possible, walking around him as if the boy was a patient infected with the plague.
But it was clearly under the warm sun, and even though the villagers stayed away from the boy as much as possible, they still felt cold all over their bodies, and the shade of the tree where the stone table was located also gave people an eerie feeling.
Liubo chess is a very popular entertainment activity among nobles and common people. It is naturally pleasant to hide under the shade of a tree and play a game of Liubo chess during your free time in the afternoon.
But if there is only a young man in white in front of the chessboard, and he shouts other people's names as if he is having a conversation with others, he plays chess with himself, and from time to time he is dissatisfied with the opponent's behavior of regretting the move.
Especially the "Old Man Lu" he called was the previous owner of this thatched house, an old man who had died long ago... How could this not make the villagers feel afraid!
If it weren't for the fact that this young man looked fair and tender, and looked like one of the carnivorous nobles in the city, with a jade pendant and a sword hanging around his waist, they would have thrown this foreign boy away with his bedding. Out of Niu Shou Village.
In the young man's field of vision, an old man with white beard and hair, who tied his long hair into a ponytail, was sitting opposite him. The old man sighed quietly: "Today is my death anniversary, you don't even know how to let me win." To be happy?"
The young man chuckled and said, "Doing your best is the greatest respect, isn't it?"
"Sooner or later, you kid will be kicked out."
Old Man Lu chuckled. He naturally knew that the young man was making excuses for not letting him play a game of chess.
But what he likes most about this kid is that he will never have so many rules and regulations when getting along with him. He will act casually and keep respect in his heart instead of showing it to others all the time, like Those disciples of Confucianism are also extremely hypocritical.
However, Old Man Lu glanced at the villagers, and the words in his mouth also meant something.
The young man naturally noticed the gazes of those villagers and shook his head.
He has long been used to it. After all, he may be the only one in the world who can see the souls of the dead.
The boy's name is Zhang Ji, the current head of the Zhang family in Anyi.
This was his identity in this era, and he didn't know how he traveled through the long river of time and became a baby more than two thousand years ago.
In this world, he does not have an awesome father, nor a more powerful grandfather, but he has a great-great-grandfather who is said to be "when he is angry, the princes are afraid, and when he lives in peace, the world is destroyed."
Well, his great-grandfather is named Wu Xinjun and Zhang Yi.
In the past, King Huiwen of Qin passed away and Qin Aowu came to the throne. Zhang Yi was forced to leave Qin.
Later, he became the prime minister of the Wei State and died within two years. The descendants of Zhang family did not have Zhang Yi's talent and could not be reused by the King of Wei, so they left Daliang, a place of right and wrong, and returned to their hometown in Anyi, where they served as prime ministers. The rich man.
By his generation, both his parents were dead. At the age of fourteen, he simply left his hometown in Anyi to study, hoping that he would be accepted by one of the great masters.
What? Why don't Zhang Ji, a later generation, rely on the memory and knowledge of later generations and the name of Zhang Yi's descendants to become an official in a certain country?
Oh, this world is not the Warring States Period in history, but the world of Mingyue in the Qin Dynasty.
No matter how talkative you are, like Zhang Yi or Su Qin, you don't have any martial arts skills. Isn't it just a matter of swordsmanship?
I don't know why, no matter where he goes, he can't find any big bosses, but he can't meet any evil people, let alone thieves, not even petty thieves. He really looks like a god of plague. Being avoided by people.
Until one day, when he passed by this Niushou village, he discovered that he could actually talk to the souls of the dead, so he asked the three veterans in the village to buy the thatched house left by the soul of an old man named Lu, and lived in it. here.
As for the reason why he can see the souls of the dead...
Perhaps because he was a human in two lifetimes, his soul was stronger than that of ordinary people, so he was able to see some things that ordinary people could not see.
Fortunately, he can't see all the dead souls, otherwise this book would have appeared on the suspense channel.
According to his and Old Man Lu's analysis, it should be that only those who were strong in life can stay in the world after death. As for the time of staying in the world, it should also be related to the strength in life.
However, the dead souls cannot cause any disturbance to the human world after death. At most, only the murderous intention can spread partially. This is why no humans or animals dare to approach bloody ancient battlefields like Changping.
And this old man Lu was originally a taciturn person, but he couldn't stand up to Zhang Ji's ancestral talking skills, so he deceived an old man who looked like a cold, worldly master into a limp... Ahem, he became a fool. A normal talkative old man and master.
So did he make a profit or a loss?
In Zhang Ji's opinion, he made a profit.
After all, this old man Lu is willing to teach him martial arts, and this is what he desires most.
What he thought at first was that it wouldn't matter if he learned a few tricks of the Three-Legged Cat Kung Fu, at least he could protect himself.
Who knew that Old Man Lu really seemed to be a reclusive bigwig from a hundred families? Even if it was just a dead soul, the murderous intent exuding could send chills all over his body.
"Old man Lu, I'm going to plow the land at Sister Yue's house next door. You stay here and don't move around."
Zhang Ji stretched out and walked to the field next door with the idea of running away if he won.
The widow next door was named Yue, and she had just moved to Niu Shou Village a few years ago. Not long after Zhang Ji came to Niu Shou Village, she came to Niu Shou Village holding a coffin.
The Yue Widow, dressed in white mourning clothes, stunned the whole village. Her natural beauty, her skin as smooth as jade, as beautiful as a peach blossom, her skin as white and rosy as crystal clear, like the bright moon in the sky, coupled with her red eyes and sad face, This delicate and morbid condition made all the men in the village crazy.
Later, according to the village chief of Niushou Village, she was the widow of Xu Laosi who left the village to do business a few years ago. Xu Laosi was robbed and killed by bandits while doing business. She carried her husband's body back to the village for burial, and settled in The old house in Xu Laosi Village is the home next door to Zhang Ji.
Another reason why most people in the village don't like Zhang Ji is that this boy always helps the widow next door. He also helps the widow next door with farm work, which is very positive. He helps the widow carry water, chops firewood, and grinds rice. , helping the widow plow the land, causing them to lose the opportunity to show courtesy to this pretty widow.
Zhang Ji was also helpless. He naturally had no heroic ambitions.
Although he was one of the men in the village who was amazed at the beginning, he Zhang Ji swore that he was not helping out of lust!
But rumors spread all over the village, so Zhang Ji simply did all the farm work for the widows in the village. He thought that this way there would be no more gossip about him and the widow Yue next door, right?
As a result, the titles of "Friend of Widows" and "Hungry Ghost in Sex" were successively assigned to Zhang Ji.
You said you, a son of an aristocrat with a jade sword hanging on his waist, can't find any kind of woman, so what kind of little widow can you snatch from us farmers?
Not only did you steal the most beautiful widow, but you didn’t even leave Widow Wang, who is over fifty years old, for us!
…
With the conscience of heaven and earth, Zhang Ji really did it for their own good.
But Zhang Ji can't tell them that the pretty widow you are targeting is a female killer who kills without blinking an eye.
Yes, the little widow who calls herself Yue's nickname is Jing Salamander.
Yue Jing Salamander... Yue Wang Ba Sword Jing Salamander, do you dare to get this name more hastily?
When Zhang Ji first saw Jing Salad dressed in filial piety, he recognized this top-notch female killer in Luo Wang. Well, he was definitely not surprised by Jing Salad dressed in filial piety, absolutely not!
In short, Zhang Ji was so frightened that day that he almost moved out of Niu Shou Village overnight.
But he couldn't bear to leave here. After all, he had finally found a way to practice martial arts. How could he give up like this?
And I don’t know who the target of Jing Salamander is. He is just a nobody. He doesn’t need a top-notch killer to deal with it personally, right?
Therefore, Zhang Ji could only try his best to use "love" to influence Jing Salamander, such as taking care of all the farm work and chores at Jing Salamander's house, trying to use this fragile bond to exchange for a chance to "live" without being affected by Chi Yu.
A few years passed by, and Jingyu always stayed in this small Niushou Village. He never did anything related to the mission. Except for driving away the matchmaker in the village with cold eyes every time, he looked like an ordinary person. Like a peasant woman.
Moreover, surprisingly, Jing salamander seemed to have a good attitude towards him, and would often bring him some food, and he would also treat Jing Salamander sister to him. Everything seemed to be very peaceful.
However, the calm was eventually broken.
Zhang Ji, who was about to plow the land for Jing Salamander, unexpectedly discovered that Old Man Lu behind him did not scold him for running away after winning. Instead, he looked solemnly at the woods to the east.
Zhang Ji followed Old Man Lu's gaze and saw a sword energy rising into the sky, and several towering trees crashing down, throwing up a cloud of smoke and dust.
"What a sharp sword spirit!"
"'All Rivers Rushing to the Sea' is Gui Gu's sword-wielding technique! It's interesting, hey, I never thought that that little guy would actually get involved with the people in the net." Old Man Lu looked at the sword energy in the forest with glaring eyes and whispered, and then lightly He laughed, as if he thought of something interesting, looked at Zhang Ji, and said with a half-smile, "Boy, do you want to come over and have a look?"
"Farewell, I'm afraid I'll be affected."
Zhang Ji decisively shook his head and refused. His sword energy just now had obviously reached the level of a first-rate master. He, who had just finally broken through to the second-rate level, had to eat his fill before joining in the fun.
Old Man Lu gave him a look of disdain. When this kid was learning martial arts from him and asked him what he wanted to learn, he actually said whichever one was suitable for saving his life should be learned first.
The breath-holding technique to hide the breath, the breathing technique to prevent poisonous gas from entering the body, and the lightning walk for escape. This kid learned it like a sleepless and forgetful person, and he is extremely talented. On the contrary, he learned other things much slower, but overall Yan Ye is a good seedling, but I feel that the seedling is a little crooked.
"Don't worry. With your kid's accomplishments in the Breath Condensation Technique, it's almost impossible to find you unless you reach the master level. If not, just use the Divine Walk to escape. Is it possible that a first-rate master with keen perception is also good at Qing Gong?"
"real?"
Old Man Lu squeezed out a smile that was uglier than crying on his wrinkled face: "Of course, how could I lie to my only descendant?"
