Chapter 1 The crossing of the traversers

In the midsummer, the sudden rain stopped.

A breeze blew by in the dark night, leaving a hint of chill in the stuffy and humid air.

Several leaves that had just been knocked down by the rain were swept up by the breeze, and the leaves were floating in the air, blowing inadvertently towards a simple wooden house.

The next moment, the leaves fell on the door panel of the wooden house and inserted into the wooden board like a blade.

The door opened in response to the sound, and I don’t know if it was knocked open by these leaves or the breeze was blown open?

"I'm very curious. How much does it cost to ask a master like you to kill someone?" Just as the door opened, a young man's slightly puzzled voice came from the wooden house.

Before the words inside the house were finished, a figure shrouded in a black robe appeared outside the house.

This man in black robe is extremely strange. His wide black robe sways in the dark, but he cannot see his hands, feet and face.

It seemed that the black robe was also a little surprised. The target he was going to hunt had already known that he had arrived and was waiting for him so calmly.

"Does the goal have any unknown trump card?" Heibo thought subconsciously.

However, he quickly denied this speculation, because he could clearly realize that the target person in the wooden house was just an ordinary person with no power.

Moreover, there are no traps or weapons in the wooden house, but there are differences from ordinary houses. The ones placed most in this wooden house are time-calling objects.

There are large leaky pots that can display the time of day, hourglass that are exactly one hour, and even an incense burner, with a thin incense on it, which is an incense that can burn for a quarter of an hour.

Whether it is the incense of time, hourglass and leaky pots, the timing has just begun.

The black robe obviously hesitated for a moment, and then a gloomy voice came from the robe: "I'm also very surprised, how could anyone bid 1,000 taels of gold to kill an ordinary person?"

The sound was gloomy and low, and the sound was chilling. As the black robe spoke, the temperature near the wooden house dropped sharply, and in an instant, the midsummer also turned into a cold winter month.

"I'll introduce myself. My name is Shen Xingzhi. I'm ranked fifth in the Marquis of Wuning. Now you should know why my head is so valuable, right?" Another figure appeared at the door of the wooden house. He was a young man about eighteen or nineteen years old. He looked weak and even had a pale face. He was obviously a long-term illness.

However, the sick young man looked calm and did not show any fear. Even though he knew that the mysterious black robe was here to kill him, he was not panicked at all.

"Oh? It turns out that there is an heir to the Marquis of Wuning? In this way, I will kill a future marquis?" The man in black robe immediately understood the reason when he heard Shen Xingzhi's introduction.

The Wuning Marquis Mansion is also the upper class of the Dayu Dynasty, and it is the serious founding Marquis Mansion. However, since the death of the previous Marquis of Wuning, his sons have successively inherited the titles, but they all died suddenly. Now the only one who can inherit the title of Marquis of Wuning is Shen Xingzhi, who has not been favored since childhood.

"Do you know that I have been unpopular since I was a child and have been bullied in the Marquis' Mansion. I have been walking on thin ice for the past eighteen years. After my elder brother inherited the title, I moved out of the Marquis' Mansion. I thought I was finally free in this life..." Shen Xingzhi said with a little excited expression. He seemed to be a little crazy, as if he was about to burst out all the dissatisfaction he had accumulated for eighteen years.

The black robe was entrusted by someone, and it was indeed here to kill Chen Xingzhi, but he did not take action immediately at this moment.

Perhaps he didn't even notice the black robe himself, and he was unconsciously brought to the rhythm of Shen Xingzhi. A few simple words made the mysterious black robe curious.

"Actually, I am born with a disability. Even if you don't come to kill me, you will only have half a year at most." Chen Xingzhi suddenly lowered his head and said in a low voice. He was originally crazy and quieted down. His tone was extremely calm, as if he was talking about other people's affairs.

"I have collected money from my employer, even if you are going to die tomorrow, I must kill you today." The black robe was unmoved and floated towards Chen Xingzhi the next moment.

Yes, the black robe floated directly, his feet were off the ground, or he had no feet at all.

Looking at the black robe that was getting closer and closer to him, Chen Xingzhi obviously felt the colder and his whole body felt like he fell into an ice cave.

He glanced at the incense burner not far away and saw that the delicate fragrance was about to burn one-third of it, so he said slowly: "It seems that you are a professional killer, so what you want is money? How about we go about making a deal now? Let me inherit the title of Marquis Wuning, and I will give you all the assets of the Marquis' Mansion, and I only have the remaining half a year!"

The black robe finally stopped three feet away from Chen Xingzhi. Obviously, Chen Xingzhi's words moved him.

One thousand taels of gold is definitely a huge sum, but this is probably not even a drop in the bucket compared to the entire Wuning Marquis Mansion.

Seeing the black robe hesitated, Chen Xingzhi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then subconsciously glanced at the incense burner.

"Your conditions are indeed very tempting, but unfortunately, there are rules for the industry. Even a god can't save you today." The black robe hesitated for a moment, and then floated towards Chen Xingzhi.

"You are not a human at all, why should you follow the rules of human beings? People like you believe in gods?" Chen Xingzhi spoke again, his tone was a little anxious, and at the same time he looked at the burning in the incense burner.

Hei Pao was obviously stunned when he heard this. It was obvious that Chen Xingzhi was not nonsense, he was indeed not a human being.

Chen Xing knew about his congenital disability. After leaving the Marquis' Mansion, he devoted himself to medical treatment. Now his medical and pharmacological cultivation has reached its peak. These abilities may not be used to kill people and defend themselves, but he could tell at a glance that this black robe is not a human.

However, the next moment, the black robe also noticed that Chen Xingzhi's eyes were always on the incense burner, and then a more cold and cold aura rushed towards Chen Xingzhi. At the same time, the black robe that was close to her also floated more obviously.

"Are you delaying time?" At this time, Hei Pao could not see Chen Xingzhi's intention, and there was obviously anger in his gloomy voice.

Finally, Chen Xingzhi's eyes were withdrawn from the incense burner. He looked at the black robe, and a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth and said, "It's a pity that I got it too late."

The black robe was furious, and then countless terrifying sounds came from the black robe, as if many resentful souls were roaring.

Then a huge grimace jumped out of the black robe, and he opened his mouth to swallow Chen Xingzhi.

However, just as the face opened its mouth to swallow Xingzhi, the fragrance in the incense burned just one-third of it, and Chen Xingzhi, a living person, disappeared in the mouth of the face.

At this moment, there was only a black robe floating in the air outside the wooden house, and Chen Xingzhi had opened his eyes in another world.

"My name is Chen Xingzhi. I am 20 years old. I am an ordinary scholar in Huangshan Village, Wan'an County, Hezhou Prefecture, Zhao State. Three years ago, my mother passed away and built a hut in front of the grave to keep mourning for three years. This incident reached the ears of the Hezhou Prefecture, and I recommended me as a filial piety. Three months later, the imperial examination period was the period. I was packing my luggage these days and preparing to go to Beijing to take the exam."

These surging information are information about another new world and one's own situation.

At this moment, Chen Xingzhi also lamented the power of this mysterious existence. This was not the first time he had traveled through time. Unlike his first soul to penetrate the Wuning Marquis Mansion of the Dayu Dynasty, this time it was his body traveling to a brand new world.

Moreover, that mysterious existence arranged for him to have an identity in this world that had a past and even had huge social relations, but this identity was even more tragic than the concubine son of the Marquis's Mansion of the Dayu Dynasty.

This world called Zhao State is very similar to the ancient Song Dynasty in Chen Xingzhi's memory.

The barbarians around Zhao were strong, while Zhao was in a prosperous economy and culture. The court emphasized culture and over military affairs, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.

Just as Shen Xingzhi received this information, a cold and mechanical voice suddenly sounded in his mind: "This mission world is a formal mission world, and the specific mission will be released after all the 'Yellow Word 9527' team arrived."

"The main god? System? Creation Jade Butterfly? Why is it the official mission world? Is there a trial world?" The cold voice appeared very briefly, but there was a lot of information revealed.

Chen Xingzhi worked hard to communicate in his consciousness, but the treasure that he didn't know was a system, a main god or a powerful person did not respond to him.

"Request for personal information." Chen Xingzhi read many similar online articles before traveling through time, and soon he changed his method to communicate.

Sure enough, after changing the idea, a strange piece of information appeared in my consciousness:

Adventurer number:???????

Current energy value: 70

Skills learned: (blank)

Items available: (blank)

Points available: Unlocked

"Request to explain the energy value." Chen Xingzhi continued to communicate with that mysterious existence.

"The energy value is the numericalization of all powers. Taking humans as an example, the energy value of normal adult men is 60-80."

Chen Xingzhi was silent for a moment, and he found that he was really an ordinary person among ordinary people, and even the energy value was the intermediate value of ordinary people.

Then he made another message: "Check the arrival time of the Yellow 9527 team?"

"Insufficient permissions, cannot be executed."

After being rejected this time, Chen Xingzhi did not continue to communicate, but instead lowered his head and began to think seriously.

Although he has not figured out what is going on with the things he keeps traveling through time, he has also analyzed a lot of important information.

First of all, I should be a member of the Yellow 9527 team, but I came to the mission world early for some reason, and this is likely to be related to my number.

Then another question arises. Is the Huangzi 9527 team a teammate that they can trust or is there a competitive relationship?

"Be careful to sail the ten thousand years of ship. When this team arrives, I have already taken the lead. Since the mission has not been released yet, I might as well continue to go to the capital to participate in the examination. If I can obtain the official position of Zhao State, I can use some of the power of this world. This is the real advantage." Chen Xingzhi's cautious personality over the past decades made him immediately formulate a plan.

Soon Chen Xingzhi calmed down and packed up the things he was going to travel far. There were not many things, including some pens, ink, paper and inkstones, a few pieces of changing clothes, of course, such as road signs, and a small amount of broken silver.
