Qingyun City, the county seat under the rule of the Liang Dynasty.
There are thousands of households under the rule, scattered inside and outside the city, in villages and villages.
There are hundreds of thousands of people in the city, and the people run various businesses, such as restaurants, restaurants, teahouses, vegetable markets, snacks, etc., scattered throughout the city, and there is an endless stream of people coming and going in every street. The shouts of the vendors kept coming and going, making it a lively scene.
It looks prosperous, but there are also beggars and homeless people. All the clothes are simple and shabby. Everything in the world is within it.
At this moment, it is the day when the rising sun is rising and the sun is shining brightly.
In a restaurant.
A young man in black tight-fitting clothes was sitting at the window on the second floor. In front of him, there was a stack of fried peanuts, a plate of cooked beef, and a pot of aged daughter's red wine. He was looking out the window. With peanuts and beef on the side, drink some wine.
A long knife was placed in front of him. The breeze blew, blowing the black hair. When he uncovered his face, he could see a face with sharp angles like a knife. It was not handsome, but it was not ugly either. It can be said that he is ordinary, but he has a look of perseverance. One can tell at a glance that such a face must be a person with a persevering temperament.
There is a faint pressure vaguely.
There were people sitting around in small groups, ordering a few side dishes and a glass of wine, and chatting animatedly.
From time to time, eyes would fall on the well-dressed young man by the window. There was respect, awe, envy, and pride in his eyes.
"Look, Mr. Zhuang is here to drink again. It's the same place every time. It's said that Mr. Dong of Qingyun Restaurant has reserved a place specially for him. No matter when he comes or how many guests there are in the restaurant, this place will definitely be there. I'll keep it. It's specially reserved for Gu Datou." One of the guests said.
"Three years ago, Shopkeeper Dong was involved in a murder case. His third wife died unexpectedly in the room. At that time, all kinds of evidence pointed directly at Shopkeeper Dong. When the government came, Shopkeeper Dong was immediately imprisoned. The situation at that time was already eight Inseparable, this lawsuit was decided by shopkeeper Dong, and he would be beheaded if there was no way he could. It was Zhuang Chaotou who discovered that his third wife had been strangled to death first, and then stabbed through the body with a sharp dagger. At that time The pinch marks on the neck have not yet been revealed, but Detective Gu used a special method to show them. It was discovered that the murderer who strangled the third lady to death was missing three fingers. Shopkeeper Dong's ten fingers were intact, and most of the suspicion was cleared. " Anyone with knowledge of the matter has found out. Xu Hanshu said in a nutshell.
"Yes, Capt. Zhuang followed the clues and found that there were only three people missing three fingers in the city. One of them was an old man. He was lying on the hospital bed. It was impossible for him to run out and kill people. The second one was an old man. A filial daughter has been a filial piety for her father for two years, and she still has one year left to complete her filial piety. Moreover, she is also a weak woman with a gentle temper. She is a rare good girl from all over the country. The third place is a gambler. His fingers were intact, but three of them were cut off because he lost a bet at the gambling table.”
A man said excitedly: "This gambler is the famous bad gambler Chen Qizhi in Qingyun City."
"No, this Chen Qizhi is a bad gambler. He is addicted to gambling. In order to gamble, he even sold his wife into a brothel. In order to gamble for money, he is bankrupt and desperate. It is a pity that his beautiful wife , following him is like having bad luck for eight lifetimes. This guy is uneducated and incompetent. That time, he just wanted to steal something from Shopkeeper Dong’s house. When he was discovered by the third lady, he was frightened and strangled the third lady alive. If it weren't for Mr. Zhuang, shopkeeper Dong would really have suffered this lawsuit and suffered injustice."
People in the restaurant also complained a lot when talking about this incident.
Listening to the conversation in the restaurant, Mr. Zhuang, who was sitting upstairs, shook his head slightly and didn't pay attention. He looked at the streets outside, with busy cars and pedestrians, and the shouts of vendors one after another. It was really lively. However, if you look carefully, you will find that although his eyes are looking outside, his attention is not on it at all.
It seems that I am trapped in memories and reveries.
"Three years have passed. It has been almost three years since I came to this world before I knew it. Zhuang Zhou dreams of butterflies, and Zhuang Zhou still dreams of butterflies."
Zhuang Buzhou shook his head and sighed secretly in his heart.
He is not from this world, or in other words, he traveled through time and was reborn.
It turned out that he was an ordinary commoner on earth. Although there was a legend in his family that his branch had a very long history and was a branch passed down from Zhuang Zhou. His ancestor was Zhuang Zhou. This statement was absurd. After Zhuang Buzhou heard this, he regarded it as a joke. After all, among the descendants, everyone wants to find a famous ancestor for themselves to show that their family has a long inheritance. Remarkable status. Speaking out will give you more bragging rights.
Just listen to it.
But I couldn't help myself. I firmly believed in this theory of inheritance. When Zhuang Buzhou was born, he insisted on saying that he had dreamed about butterflies before. When naming him, he decided to name Zhuang on the spot. week.
This was serious. When Zhuang Buzhou's grandfather heard this, he thought, "This is not okay. How can you have the same name as your ancestors? Isn't this disrespectful?" Therefore, when registering for residence, without telling his father, he added a word in the middle, and Zhuang Zhou became Zhuang Buzhou. In the end, it was a done deal, and I had no choice but to admit it. In fact, I wanted to change it back halfway, but the household registration book was hidden tightly by his grandfather. Leng didn't let him find the chance.
In the end, that was all I could do.
If Zhuang is not Zhou, Zhuang is not Zhou.
Zhuang Buzhou usually has no other hobbies. He just likes to wander around antique streets and antique shops. He is very interested in antiques and so on. After careful study, he really gained some expertise in antiques. I've missed it and I've missed it. There was no loss after all.
And that day, when he was wandering around the antique street again, he accidentally saw a small bronze gourd on a street stall. The gourd looks like a small accessory. It can be strung with a rope and hung around the neck as a jade pendant or something.
At that time, he could tell at a glance that the gourd, no matter how he looked at it, was just an ordinary small gourd accessory. There was no trace of time, and it didn't look like an antique or antique. But it felt special to me, so I bought it. How much money I spent is secondary. The most important thing is that it’s hard to buy my heart’s love. I have an inexplicable love for this gourd.
Later, I took it for testing and conducted various inspections, but I still didn’t know its origin, or even what the material was made of.
Even though he was wearing it, his body was still the same as before. However, as he traveled through time and space, his body seemed to be tempered by some magical power. Instead, it had the effect of rejuvenating him. He was originally in his twenties and suddenly became eighteen years old. appearance. The original small gourd was gone.
Zhuang Buzhou had a feeling that the small gourd should still be in his body, but where it was, he had not yet found out clearly.
"Hulu, Hulu, where are you from? Why has there been no movement for three years? And this world is not normal."
Zhuang Buzhou sighed secretly while drinking.
Recalling the scene during the time travel, it was a celestial phenomenon. That day, I don’t know why, it was originally daytime, and the sun was high in the sky. Without any warning, the moon also appeared, and there was a strange celestial phenomenon in the sky where the sun and the moon shine together. , that phenomenon is rare to see in ten thousand years. At that time, he was on the rooftop and witnessed with his own eyes the process of the sun and moon shining together.
This wasn't the weirdest thing. What surprised him was that the small gourd that had been quietly worn around his neck suddenly burst into light, absorbing the light of the sun and the moon crazily. Then, the next second, it swallowed the gourd. Under the light of the sun and moon, a black hole-like tunnel strangely formed outside him, sucking him in together with the gourd with an irresistible gesture. At the last moment, he only remembered that the gourd turned into a divine light, penetrated into his body, and disappeared.
When he woke up, he was already outside Qingyun City.
Naturally, there is nothing to say about what happened after that. He eventually entered Qingyun City and became a policeman. With his own intelligence, he solved several major cases and was promoted to the position of chief catcher. He was considered to be prestigious in the city.
It is easy to say that with these things, Zhuang Buzhou could not only be rich and wealthy, but also have enough food and clothing, marry a beautiful wife, have children, and live a happy life. However, this world is not an ordinary world.
"Monsters, monsters, strange things, emerge one after another. There are supernatural manifestations and mortal worlds. This world is really familiar and yet strange."
Zhuang Buzhou shook his head slightly, but there was a trace of yearning in his eyes.
He, the banker, has always believed that he is the direct bloodline of Zhuang Zhou, so he naturally has an extraordinary pursuit of all kinds of extraordinary things. When he entered the antique shop, he just wanted to find different traces of extraordinary things from the antiques, but unfortunately, he did not gain much. Until the change of the little gourd brought him to this world, his desire for the extraordinary was completely aroused and became even more unswerving.
The most important thing is that this world has a path to transcendence.
"Curse master, paper tying master, talisman seal master, onmyoji master, beast control master... they are really desirable." Zhuang Buzhou's three years were not wasted.
In three years, after becoming a head catcher, you can enter the file room and check all kinds of case files inside. The other side of the world often exists in these files, and all kinds of weird files and hidden information are eagerly absorbed and extracted.
Over the years, with my keen observation skills, I have found some extraordinary traces. And know something.
For example, near Qingyun City, there is an extraordinary trade fair every year.
This is a trade fair between extraordinary people. According to the information he has discovered, the people who can appear there are not extraordinary people, but also have extraordinary connections with extraordinary people. As long as you can enter it, there is the hope of becoming extraordinary and the possibility of stepping into another world.
