Chapter 1 Crossing
"hiss..."
Chaos, darkness, no light.
A hoarse whistle sounded in the darkness, and countless murmurs of unknown significance echoed in Li Yang's mind.
I don’t know how long I have been drifting in the darkness, but in this darkness that seems to have no concept of time, I drifted into the whispering sounds.
"Brother Li woke up. I clearly heard his voice just now..."
"...Grandpa Lu, you have to save him!"
"Hey! He lost too much blood and it's hard to save him... This damn world!"
"Who is talking?"
Did I...fail?
The vague sound appeared and seemed to come from another world, causing Li Yang's chaotic consciousness to gradually revive.
"How could this happen..."
"He was too seriously injured, and the old man might be powerless..."
"It's all my fault. If it weren't for saving me, Brother Li wouldn't have been like this..."
Some were panic, some were sad, some were helpless, and the increasingly clear voice was like stones thrown from the calm lake, causing ripples in Li Yang's mind.
Li Yang's eyelids trembled slightly, and he gradually felt the existence of his body.
"etc..."
"Grandpa Lu, look..."
A shout of surprise came from his ears, and Li Yang tried his best to break free from the darkness in his mind and slowly opened his eyes.
The light in sight was dim, and the dim flames reflected the spider-web-woven roof, the dilapidated windows, the weeds underneath, and the door was bare. A dilapidated temple that was so simple that it could not be more simple came into Li Yang's eyes.
Next to the haystack, a little beggar dressed in rags and tangled hair, and an old man in zipper clothes, were looking at him in surprise.
"Hey! Little Lizi, are you awake?"
As he said that, the old man still held Li Yang's pulse in disbelief and began to check carefully.
"That's great Brother Li, God bless you!"
Li Yang's expression was stunned. What's going on?
Although the light was dim, there were no wires, no modern items, a dilapidated temple that only appeared in TV dramas, and two strange people around him all made Li Yang, who had just recovered his consciousness, confused.
After a while, Li Yang came to his senses and a wry smile appeared on his face.
"It seems that it has failed, and depending on my current situation, I'm afraid it's not an ordinary failure..."
Li Yang in his previous life was a sorcerer from the Dharma-Ending Age. He also learned some messy magicians from generation to generation in the family. The reason why they were said to be messy is that the family's inheritance was pieced together, including Taoism, Buddhism, and even a lot of witchcrafts in western Hunan and Nanyang.
In the previous life, many magical magic was not used, which directly led to the disappearance of many ancient inheritances. Li Yang's ancestor was a third-rate little wizard. In the era of chaos, he relied on cheating and cheating, but he got a lot of good things, and passed down from generation to generation.
However, with the decrease of spiritual energy and substances in the world, many magic spells have lost their function. Finally, after generations of summary, they finally found out something else and developed a method that can be practiced without relying on spiritual energy, which is to use the bloodline of rare beasts in the world.
However, while the spiritual energy material is reduced, rare beasts are becoming less and less common. In the last life, Li Yang practiced all his life and finally found a weasel with only a little spirituality to prepare for sacrifice. In the end, he failed because he was too old and lacked qi and blood.
But God is pitiful. Seeing this, I probably traveled through time.
Thinking of this, a little excitement and expectation suddenly arose in Li Yang's heart, and he almost subconsciously wanted to get up and sit up.
hiss!!
However, as soon as his body moved, a severe pain that hit his soul came from his chest and abdomen, twisting his face into a ball, and his eyes turned black.
"careful!"
In the dilapidated temple, when Li Yang woke up, the old man and the little beggar surrounded him, and the little beggar seemed particularly excited.
"Brother Li, your wound has just been bandaged and you can't move around now!"
Brother Li, are you calling me?
At this time, Li Yang was lying on the haystack and sweating all over, and his whole body was covered in severe pain and weakness.
Only then did he realize that his upper body was tightly bandaged by some rags, and some scarlet blood was seeping out, as if he had suffered some extremely serious injuries.
This body is so young.
Feeling the vitality in the body, Li Yang inexplicably sighed in his heart that only by experiencing aging can he deeply experience the preciousness of youth.
Thinking of the despair of watching himself gradually decay and powerless in his previous life, Li Yang cherished this young body more and more.
As soon as the thought arose, a tide of memory emerged from his mind, without giving him any chance to react.
That was the memory of another little beggar named Little Li Zi, like a dream bubble, flashing through his mind constantly and then disappearing.
This is a county town called Nuqing County in western Hunan. The original owner was not a local, but begged all the way with the crowd.
It is now the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, and wars are everywhere. The original owner has no name and has been an orphan since he was a child. He has grown up among beggars since he can remember. He is fifteen years old this year. In the past two years, he came to Nuqing County with the crowd and temporarily settled in a small dilapidated temple next to the county town.
Then, he turned his gaze to the little beggar and the little old man next to him.
The little beggar with a concern and nervous look on his face is named Xiao Liuzi. Like his original body, he is also a little beggar. He has a good relationship with the original owner and often begs in the county town. The old man is a barefoot doctor in the county town. He is a very good person and often helps them. It seems that he bandaged his injuries.
Thinking of the injuries on his body, Li Yang couldn't help but smile bitterly. During the day, he saw a group of adult beggars snatching Xiao Liuzi's steamed buns in the county town. The original owner was also a fearless person. He went straight to them and argued, but he didn't expect that he was almost beaten to death by the other party.
Although the original owner was also a half-grown young man, his fists could not match four hands. If it weren't for his time traveling over, the original owner would probably have died. It would have been a bloody incident caused by a few steamed buns.
Seeing this memory, Li Yang became more and more aware of how chaotic this era was.
"Brother Li?"
Looking at Li Yang's strange reaction, Xiao Liuzi became more and more guilty and worried, and could only say with red eyes: "How are you doing now?"
Li Yang was shocked by the messy memories in his mind at this moment, and could only barely reply: "I feel confused now..."
Xiao Liuzi seemed to want to say something, but was stopped by the old man.
"Okay, Xiao Liuzi, although he woke up, he was not out of danger. Let him rest first and say something later."
Then he reminded Li Yang: "Little Lizi, you have lost too much blood and are in too severe injuries. It is a blessing to be able to survive. Don't think about other things first. You don't have tools here. I'll boil the medicine later and let Xiao Liuzi bring it to you. After drinking the medicine, I'll survive tonight. Even if you're fine, do you know?"
Now Li Yang's mind was in chaos. He wanted to be alone and he barely cheered up and said, "Then I'll trouble you Grandpa Lu..."
The old man shook his head, without saying much, waved his hand and left the dilapidated temple with Xiao Liuzi who was reluctant to leave.
The ruined temple returned to silence, leaving only Li Yang lying on the haystack with his eyes closed, enduring weakness and pain, and trying to calm down the memories in his mind.
After a while, Li Yang finally accepted the little beggar's memory in all aspects and opened his eyes weakly.
