"On the sixth day of the fifth lunar month in the sixth year of Tianqi, there was a sudden loud earthquake, louder than the thunder, and more than 20 big trees were pulled out of the ground. The roots were upward and the tips were downward. There was also a pit several feet deep, and smoke clouds were rising straight up. , like Ganoderma lucidum, rolling to the northeast. From the Xi'an Gate area, iron slag, like bran or rice, flew down, and it stopped when it moved. From Xuanwu Gate to the west, Xingbu Street to the south, near the factory buildings, suddenly collapsed, and the earthworks were On the top, the tiles are on the bottom. Thousands of people with names were killed, but the whole household died and those with unknown names were killed, and thousands of people were unknown. Whenever a house is collapsed, the fire in the furnace will be extinguished. Only two of the four families selling wine The wooden foils in three rooms were burned, but the rest were not burned. The bodies of the deceased were many and incomplete, and all of them, male and female, were naked, and the clothes and hats of those who were not deceased were also shaken off."
——"Ming Palace History", written by Liu Ruoyu, the eunuch who was responsible for the ceremony.
The cause of the Wanggong Factory explosion is still unknown. Many supernatural phenomena have been recorded in the files on the incident, casting a confusing veil over this once-in-a-millennium disaster.
Xiao Qi used the real historical event of the Wang Gong Factory explosion as an introduction to construct a story of bloody and intertwined rivers and lakes...
…………
Tomorrow, the seventh year of the Apocalypse, the first day of May.
Beijing.
The people of the imperial capital may not have gotten over the shadow of the big explosion a year ago, but life still has to go on. Teahouses, restaurants, cupboards, archways, and inns were the first businesses in the city to recover after the disaster, followed closely by other businesses. In addition, with the court's good appeasement and strict regulations, the capital's vitality slowly returned to 70% to 80% of previous years. situation.
Social atmosphere is developing towards normalization, which is a good thing. However, people in the city have not noticed that in the past half month, many strange people have come to Beijing...
More than a month ago, an unpredictable rumor began to spread in the world. It was said that the real cause of the explosion at Wang Gong Factory in the sixth year of Tianqi was not a leak from the gunpowder warehouse as claimed by the court, but a coincidence of a secret treasure dropped from heaven. caused by the following.
The secret treasure that was dropped that day was from the immortal family. It fell into the mortal world for some reason and hit Wang Gongchang on the head, which led to disaster. After the incident, Jin Yiwei and the Royal Forest Army entered the scene immediately and found that there was a square crystal stone in the center of the explosion, with countless symbols and words engraved on it. It could not be damaged by explosions or fires. When the Emperor of the Chao Dynasty learned of the existence of this object, he had people take it out of the pit and transport it to the royal treasury for strict guarding. However, the weight of the secret treasure was unknown. No matter how many mules and horses were driven, they could not move it even half a step.
Helpless, the emperor had no choice but to order heavy troops to be deployed near Wang Gongchang to prevent any mistakes in the Yingshi. He also sent a cabinet bachelor to decipher the inscription and find out the object's identity.
Three months later, the cabinet ministers presented the deciphered portion of the inscription. The general meaning of the inscription is that this object is called a "divine treasure" and is a treasure given by God to all the destined people in the world. Anyone may be a "destined person" and may become the owner of the divine treasure.
The function of the divine treasure is also written in the inscription: it can pass on the magic of the immortal family to those who are destined to do so. A doctor can live the dead with human flesh and white bones; a soldier can conquer the world from all directions; a businessman can be surrounded by jade, food, and pearls; a warrior can acquire unparalleled knowledge and be invincible in the world, and it is not a bad idea to enter the Tao through martial arts...
At this point, some people may wonder: surely the emperor would be attracted to such an attractive treasure? Why didn't he try it? It's easy to say, because for the magic weapon to work, you still need to "wait for a day."
This "wait for a day" is what the gods say, but the human world has to wait for a year. After all, one day in the sky and one year on the earth. The inscription explains that the purpose of this is to prevent the sacred treasure from falling into an inaccessible place and becoming the private property of that person if it is accidentally acquired. This year is enough time for this thing to be known to the world. Anyone who is interested can come to the divine treasure to try its immortality. This is why the divine treasure is heavy and cannot be moved.
Of course, even the gods miscalculated. The divine treasure was smashed directly at the feet of the emperor in the imperial city. This news was rarely known to the public. Until a month ago, there was no news about the divine treasure in the world.
People from all walks of life in the arena came in droves before they had time to find out whether this was true or not. There is no other reason. According to the records on the inscription, the divine treasure began to test the destined person one year later, which was the sixth day of May in the seventh year of the Apocalypse, exactly one year after the explosion of Wang Gong Factory. It was only in April that people in the martial arts world got the news about the birth of the divine treasure. If they had bothered to find out more, even the day lilies would have been cold by the time they got to the capital.
Therefore, in April and May in the capital, many people from all walks of life are welcomed, and they have only one purpose -
Divine treasure.
…………
Today is the first day of May in the seventh year of the Apocalypse, and there are still five days left before the day to seize the divine treasure and seize the immortal fate.
Ruan Dandan entered the city today. As the capital of the country, the intensity of interrogation at the city gate of Beijing is naturally second to none in the country, but as a martial arts man, Ruan Dandan was let go without much difficulty when he passed the border.
As we all know, a large number of people who practice martial arts are equipped with a pair of precious weapons. Even if you don't have that condition, you still need to prepare a few pieces of iron that are easy to use. Then it is common for these swordsmen and swordsmen to be paid more attention to and even make things difficult for them when they go in and out of the city. In order to pass the customs, they sometimes have to use a few tricks. Son Yin Zi (referring to money, not necessarily actually handing over silver coins. The person who throws a piece of silver to pass the test is not a hero, but the God of Wealth).
Ruan Dandan doesn't have this problem. She doesn't use weapons, or anything can be her weapon.
Lady with plain hands - this is Ruan Dandan's name in the world. She is called "plain hands" because, firstly, the fingers on her hands are like white onions, and her pink arms are like jade lotus roots. Secondly, because her hands have never been stained with blood. This is not to say that she has never killed anyone, she only plays long-range.
Ruan Dandan is 30 years old this year and has been traveling in the world for eight years, relying on his hidden weapon skills. She started practicing martial arts at the age of four, started learning hidden weapons at the age of six, and achieved some success at the age of fifteen. To this day, although Ruan Dandan's martial arts has not reached the point where flying flowers and picking leaves can injure people, it has long been no longer limited to the form of hidden weapons, and even small stones picked up at hand can become deadly weapons. Therefore, she passed the test empty-handed, so of course the gatekeepers would not be in too much trouble.
At this moment, Ruan Dandan was wandering around the capital. As a Jiangnan native, this was her first time in the capital of the Ming Dynasty, so she wanted to have a good experience. As for safety issues, she didn't pay much attention to it. Ruan Dandan is an upright person with the ability to be a first-line master, and he is not timid. In addition, the capital is heavily guarded. Ruan Dandan is sure that no one will dare to take action in broad daylight.
Not long after, Ruan Dandan came to a prosperous business place. Just as she was taking a look at the flowers, a mellow, clear and resonant voice came from the front. When she heard the content again, she found it even more novel:
"During the Holy Calendar of Wu Zhou, the sound of golden drums was heard again on the northwest border of the Great Zhou Dynasty, which had been dormant for many years. There was a Hu country in Mobei named Tule. The five most warlike Dulu tribes in the country gathered their Yingshi and Leopard divisions. In spite of the blatant provocation of the peace treaty between the two countries, they occupied the four towns of Anxi, Qiuci, Shule, Yutian and Suiye, which are located at the hub of the Silk Road, and dispatched a large number of cavalry to madly plunder the envoys and caravans of various countries, turning the originally peaceful The peaceful Silk Road has turned into a mess."
"At that time, the Anxi Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty followed the strict orders of Prime Minister Di Renjie to exercise restraint. However, this move made the Dulu tribe mistakenly believe that the other party was weak and could be bullied, so they intensified their actions and became even more violent."
"The leader, Prince He Lu, led his troops eastward and quietly entered the sacred capital of Luoyang. He colluded with the dormant traitor and conspired to eliminate Di Renjie, the prime minister of the dynasty, and seize the position of Jili Khan of the Turret Stone Kingdom in order to realize his ambition to dominate the world. .”
"Yesterday I told you that the ghost murder at Zhenyuan Pass was the work of Prince He Lu and his fifty cavalry guards. Now the truth is revealed~~~"
Ruan Dandan has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and has no interest in worldly affairs. He has never left the front door of his house a few times. He only realized how vast the world is after he set foot in the world at the age of fifteen. Although she was in her early twenties, she still had the nature of a young girl and was very lively. When she heard that the storyteller was telling stories that she had never heard of, she immediately squeezed into the crowd and asked an old man next to her: "Old man, this gentleman is What story is this?"
"Ah, according to what he said, this is "The Case of Di Gong". He created it himself and divided it into several volumes. He finished one part the day before yesterday. The content he is talking about now is called The Strange Case of Gold and Silver. It's interesting, interesting." The old man stroked his fingers. Beard was generous with his praises. It was obvious that in ancient times when entertainment was extremely scarce, the arrival of this storyteller brought him spiritual satisfaction.
"Wow, sir, you are so young." Ruan Dandan saw through the dense crowd of heads that the storyteller's appearance was almost as big as his own.
But when I saw that gentleman, he was in his twenties, with a round face, thick eyebrows, and a strong body. He looked like a scholar. Looking at his clothes, he was only wearing an ordinary green robe. He had the same three treasures: a wake tree, a folding fan, and a handkerchief. Nothing, I say it with a dry mouth, it is really rare.
"Yes, this young gentleman came to this street unexpectedly a few days ago. In the first two days, he talked about a few paragraphs of "Three Kingdoms", which was good, but everyone was tired of hearing about the Three Kingdoms in the past, and he didn't get much reward. . Mr. Di has been reading "The Case of Di Gong" since yesterday. Ha! Everyone likes to listen to it. The story is fresh and the story is interesting."
Maybe everyone has guessed it by now, yes, this person is Yun Ming.
After entering the book world of the Book of Self-Redemption, Yun Ming quickly concluded that this place was not the real Ming Dynasty in history. However, in order to verify his suspicion, he ran to the river and wanted to use the river water to see his face.
Yun Ming thought of something: if this was another soul piercing, and he might have gained some of the abilities of this body unintentionally, then it would make sense to understand the language of people in this world. It's easy to prove it, just look in the mirror.
It was difficult to find a mirror, even on the water surface. As a result, Yun Ming lay on the bank and looked out, and what was reflected in the river was an unexpected face.
His own face.
Please note that my wording is not "Yun Ming's face", but "his own face". What Yun Ming sees at this moment is what he looked like before he traveled to the parallel universe.
Yun Ming's mood was completely betrayed by his expression: first dull, then confused, then solemn, and finally enlightened.
"Hahahaha!" Yun Ming rarely smiled so wildly: "Interesting, interesting."
He patted the dirt off his body, straightened his clothes, and walked along the river with his arms folded: "Now I probably understand where this is and why I have nothing but a set of clothes, not even a copper plate." Not one."
"This is 100% a fictional world. I'm afraid my soul was forcibly dragged here by a person with super powers."
"Now, my identity in this fictional world is equivalent to the background of a passerby in the game, not even an NPC. Otherwise, I would at least have some treasures, techniques, and secrets, so I wouldn't be so single."
"Zhong Yi and Pu Che Shi were probably also attacked by superpowers. I don't know where they are in this world."
"There is another person, I am sure he is here now, we must find him!"
"But the top priority should be to get money first. After all, I'm not sure whether I will be hungry or sleepy in this fictional world. I can't rely on free food and sleeping on the streets. To take a step back, it would be good to have some savings on hand."
"There are so many businesses without capital, and there are fewer legal businesses without capital. It seems that the only one that suits me best is that one."
Thinking of this, Yun Ming smiled even more:
"Ancient residents of another world, prepare to be crushed by the imagination of the 21st century film and television screenwriters!"
