The inn was bustling with activity today.
" Feiyang Lake disappeared the day before yesterday, and East Forest Mountain disappeared yesterday. This must have been done by someone." Inside the tavern, a constable from Fuzhou City said with a worried expression.
"Are there really gods?" a diner nearby asked.
"Who but a god could perform such a feat of moving mountains and fetching water?" his companion said with great certainty.
The constable shook his head; he didn't really believe in gods or Ghost.
During the Ming Dynasty, people had already developed a certain understanding of heaven and earth and nature.
Various natural forces have been recorded by specialists, forming a basic scientific view.
The constable was more worried that a great disaster was about to occur.
The so-called "moving mountains and fetching water" may be a precursor to an earthquake.
But he couldn't confirm such things; he could only suspect them.
He went to the site and saw it for himself. The scene was quite shocking, as if someone had forcibly uprooted the mountain, leaving only a mess behind.
Feiyang Lake was a large, flowing lake Fuzhou City. It's unbelievable that it disappeared overnight.
The key issue is that there were no Rift or hidden passages/water caves underground, so where did the water go?
The transmigrator sitting in the corner, who was also Ling Yi's Capture, was completely bewildered.
His name was Gao Liu. In his previous life, he was a mountaineering enthusiast. In an accident, he fell off a cliff and died.
When he woke up, he found himself in the Smiling, Proud Wanderer World.
The fact that he could travel through time after death naturally made him very happy.
But a cold, impersonal system also inexplicably appeared in my mind.
The first task the system gave him was to kill Yu Canghai within three months.
The reward is ten years of internal skill training and the Graceful Steps upon the Waves ).
The system also gave him a newbie gift pack: a revolver, six bullets, and 1,000 taels of silver.
This task would be Hell Grade for an ordinary person.
Even with a pistol, he had gained a general understanding of Martial Arts Expert through his research over this period of time.
They have keen Perception and an exceptional ability to anticipate crises, almost like Superpower.
For a master like Yu Canghai, who is at the Mid Acquired, he would probably be discovered before he even had a chance to aim his gun.
Therefore, he had no choice but to launch Sneak Attack.
And if the mission fails... annihilation.
As a time traveler, I am naturally very familiar with the Smiling, Proud Wanderer World.
How can there be gods in this world?
He had also inquired with the system, but apart from appearing once when a task was assigned and being able to view his attribute panel at any time, the system had remained silent.
Just then, two more people ran into the inn.
"Oh no! Little Green Mountain is gone too!"
" Little Green Mountain? The Little Green Mountain with the Green Mountain bandits?" someone immediately asked.
"Yes, yes, that's Little Green Mountain."
"I heard that the bandits on Little Green Mountain are from the Qingcheng Sect..."
"Shh, shut up. You don't want to live anymore. The Qingcheng Sect isn't something we people can just talk about."
"What are you afraid of? Those thieves use swordsmanship from the Qingcheng sect, and they must be related to the Qingcheng sect. My third uncle is a junior escort from the Fuwei Escort Bureau. He passed by Xiao Qingshan three months ago and was killed by those thieves."
"Hmph, not only that, these bandits are probably somewhat connected to the county magistrate of Fuzhou City. Otherwise, why hasn't the magistrate sent men to wipe them out?"
" Laosan, loose lips sink ships, don't say too much," a middle-aged man who looked like a scholar warned.
"I don't care, let the Qingcheng Sect come and kill me if they dare." This guy, called the Laosan, clearly harbored extreme hatred for the Qingcheng Sect.
"Now, there's only one mountain left Fuzhou City. It'll be much more convenient to go out now, without having to go around the mountain anymore," someone said, interrupting the Laosan.
"..." Gao Liu felt that he had most likely transmigrated into a fake the Smiling, Proud Wanderer World.
The more the story spread, the more sensational and bizarre it became; the more it was told, the more people knew about it.
Soon, news of the disappearance of three mountains and a lake Fuzhou City spread throughout the Jianghu.
Even the Imperial Brocade Guard of the Lian Chao came to investigate, and the conclusion was that it was a deliberate act.
Later, it was rumored that two steel Mechanism Beast had appeared near Fuzhou City not long ago.
According to eyewitnesses, the Mechanism Beast Keep Running like the wind, making a deafening noise, and its movements were accompanied by flashes of fire, Roar like a monster.
People immediately linked this incident to the supernatural events in Fuzhou City.
Some even say that these two deities have now transformed into ordinary people and are still living in Fuzhou City.
As the Legend, things took a turn for the worse.
Originally, these Mechanism Beast could Rapid Movement on land, but they were rumored to be magical artifacts that could fly in the sky. It is said that some people even saw these two immortals descending from the sky riding these "magical artifacts".
Eight Trigrams, well, the more you gossip, the more outrageous it gets.
Time flew by, and September arrived before we knew it.
Ling Yi has been in this world for two and Half Moon.
"According to the reports from my spies, Yu Canghai will arrive in Fuzhou City in another day. The Qingcheng Sect disciples have almost all come out," Dongfang Bai said to Ling Yi after releasing the carrier pigeon in his hand.
The destruction of the Fuwei Escort Agency was the catalyst for the entire the Smiling, Proud Wanderer World, and also the beginning of the main storyline.
"Have you made arrangements with the people you found?" Ling Yi asked.
"Don't worry!" Dongfang Bai was also very curious about what would happen next.
This is yet another test for Ling Yi.
He couldn't appear directly in front of the soul that had traveled through time, otherwise he might be discovered by that mysterious fragment of consciousness, just like in the Resident Evil World, and have his body destroyed again.
However, Dongfang Bai could arrange for someone to test the transmigrator, or more precisely, the reaction of that mysterious consciousness.
About ten minutes later, Dongfang Bai suddenly spoke up, "The show is about to begin!"
A middle-aged Uncle was pushed and shoved out of the inn by a group of Jianghu swordsmen.
It seems there was some kind of argument between the two, and the other party clearly wanted to teach the middle-aged Uncle a lesson.
"This is just too unlucky." Gao Liu downstairs was practically in tears.
For no reason, a few charlatans took his place to eat. Is this because he is easy to bully?
Gao Liu didn't want to cause trouble, so he gritted his teeth and endured it, obediently giving up his seat.
But as he was leaving, he was deliberately tripped by those Jianghu practitioners and fell face-first to the ground in a terrible way.
At that moment, Gao Liu was furious. He glared fiercely at the Jianghu practitioner, and that one glare made the Jianghu's eyes light up, followed by...
With the line "What are you looking at? What's it to you?", Gao Liu was forced by this Jianghu swordsman to be taken outside the inn for a duel.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that these charlatans are here to cause trouble, and their goals are very clear.
Gao Liu also began to realize what was happening.
However, he had just transmigrated to the Smiling, Proud Wanderer World and had always kept a low profile, so he didn't seem to have offended anyone.
Could it be that the original owner of this body offended someone?
Now is not the time to think about these things; the question is how to extricate myself from this situation.
He was just an ordinary person. Although these people were only Third Rate experts, one punch from them would cripple him, even if he didn't die.
"Ready? I'm about to make my move." The leader of the Jianghu world clenched his fists so tightly they cracked.
Gao Liu swallowed hard. What to do? Of course, he had to resist!
Are we just going to wait to get beaten up?
So Gao Liu pulled out his pistol and aimed it at the Third Rate Martial Practitioner.
"Don't force me!" Gao Liu shouted.
"Heh heh, I just don't like you. Let Laozi loosen up your muscles and show you the harsh realities of the Jianghu."
Gao Liu shouted, "Hey, where are those constables? Aren't you going to do anything about this fight?"
Gao Liu was still struggling, but no one responded to him.
At this moment, the constables were being watched by a master who Acquired, and they didn't dare to move at all.
"If you come any closer, I'll shoot." Gao Liu looked at the approaching Jianghu master with some panic, but clearly, his threat had no effect.
Then he pulled the trigger.
"Bang!"
The first time he fired a gun, especially a powerful revolver, the shock made Gao Liu's arm go numb, and he almost lost his grip and dropped the gun.
Fortunately, the shot was effective; a large patch of blood gushed from the Jianghu's chest, and he fell backward.
"I already told you, don't come any closer." Gao Liu was also somewhat speechless.
It wasn't just a waste of a bullet; more importantly, it exposed the pistol.
If that cunning old fox Yu Canghai finds out, the difficulty of killing Yu Canghai will likely increase significantly.
He suddenly realized that time travel wasn't so wonderful after all.
The Protagonist in novels who transmigrate and then take revenge on all the villains are just characters in novels.
"As expected, novels Central City lies." Gao Liu, seeing that he had Intimidation the others, turned and left.
On the second floor, Dongfang Bai looked in the direction Gao Liu had left and murmured, "Is this the power of a pistol? It's truly terrifying."
"No response?" Ling Yi raised an eyebrow.
The mysterious consciousness did not react, which proved that Ling Yi's idea was feasible.
"What are you verifying?" Dongfang Bai asked.
"One very important thing is that there is a very powerful fragment of consciousness within that person's body, and he seems to be able to Perception my presence."
"Once that mysterious consciousness discovers me, I will be unable to complete the Capture."
"This person is going to die eventually anyway, right?"
Ling Yi nodded. There was nothing wrong with that. Capturing a soul was essentially the same as the physical body dying.
"Since that's the case..."
Dongfang Bai took the needle, Dongfang Bai fired the needle, poor Gao Liu, his wrist was pierced directly, and his pistol fell to the ground.
Dongfang Bai gave a wink to his subordinates below, who nodded and then shouted, "His Hidden Weapons fell! Kill him!"
Gao Liu was shocked; with the gun gone, his last resort was gone.
My inner voice screamed desperately, "System, help me!"
The system didn't react at all, seemingly completely indifferent to his life or death.
"Damn you, system! You saved my Laozi, so Laozi 'll work for you obediently from now on, I don't even need your wages, just hurry up and do it!"
"Ding, host is in life-or-death crisis detected, emergency plan being activated..."
"Ding! You have been rewarded with a Trial Card for the Strength of a Innate Warrior. After use, you will gain the strength of a Innate Martial Practitioner for three minutes. The Trial Card has been used."
Gao Liu instantly felt his whole body filled with power.
But Gao Liu, having gained power, didn't think about how to complete the mission; instead, he simply ran away.
After all, there are only three minutes, and three minutes isn't even enough Kung Fu Hustle go to the toilet.
Stay put and wait to die?
Before running, the uncle did not forget to pick up the pistol on the ground. Then, under the strange eyes of the crowd of Jianghu people, he turned around and ran quickly, jumping in one step, jumping in two steps, jumping in three steps, whoosh...
A naturally gifted martial arts master using a triple jump to escape? Never seen that Innate, have you?
