Chapter 1 Crossing
Time travel is a dream of Ji Shi. For a boring and incompetent person, if he can escape the boredom of real life and go to another world to live a life of adventure that he has never encountered before, how wonderful it would be.
Therefore, when Ji Shi discovered that he was in a completely white space around him, he was not too frightened. Bizarre events always have an extraordinary beginning. He took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and watched The back of the only person with other colors in this space in front of him suppressed the extreme curiosity in his heart and said, "Who are you?"
He cautiously stood where he was and asked, not stepping forward, not wanting his reckless behavior to break this bizarre but real enough dream.
But just as he finished speaking, the other party appeared in front of Ji Shi for a moment, Ji Shi's eyelids trembled slightly, and found that no matter how hard he tried to open his eyes, he couldn't see his face clearly, and could only hear the other party's mechanical voice with no fluctuations. : "Do you want to time travel?"
"Yes." Ji Shi nodded.
"I am fortunate to have opened the way of Jiyuan. I have been watching this world for a long time. I want to go out and have a look. Would you like to exchange it with me?"
Ji Shi complied without hesitation.
"You will never return to this world, and... there will be a price, can you accept it?"
"As long as the price doesn't make me lose my memory." Ji Shi nodded crazily as he said, no matter what his situation is, whether it is true or not, as long as it is bizarre enough, he will believe it!
Suddenly Ji Shi seemed to hear the other party chuckle, but the voice was too weird, and he didn't know if it was a smile or not.
"That's natural. Amnesia is the death of the spirit. If the consciousness is not independent, aren't you just a puppet? Even I am powerless to delete and manipulate human memory. That is a realm that even gods cannot peek into. "
Ji Shi was startled. He wanted to ask something, but he didn't know where to start. The lack of information made it difficult for him to speak.
"Since you have agreed, let's stop talking nonsense." As a bright light appeared in the other party's hand and entered Ji Shi's mind, Ji Shi felt a strong drowsiness pulling him into the darkness, and the other party's voice gradually became blurred:
"Don't worry, this is a fair trade. Everyone in the world has his own master. This mission book can help you adapt..."
When he woke up again and looked at the strange sky in front of him, he immediately realized that it was really not a dream!An inexplicable excitement welled up in his heart, but before he could make a move, his brain suddenly realized that the smell of this place was extremely disgusting.He sat up quickly, and when he looked closely at his surroundings, he couldn't help gasping for air, and froze on the spot. The next moment, he began to vomit crazily, as if he wanted to vomit out all his internal organs.
Within a hundred miles, there are all corpses!Like the devil's purgatory, the earth's crust is cracked and protruding, the trees are broken and cracked, and all the uneven places on the ground are covered with blood-red dead corpses. Little corpse on the hill!
When Ji Shi's nose started to get used to the strong smell of blood, he tremblingly pulled up his front and wiped it, struggling to stand up on the high ground, when a gust of wind blew, he found that his clothes were torn and his body was covered in blood, looking down, Like the last surviving human being in the last days, I felt desolate and hopeless in my heart.
What the hell is this place.
Just when Ji Shi turned his head against the wind, he suddenly saw a child not far from the corpse mound, who was also covered in blood, staring at him in horror.
Ji Shi was stunned, and somehow realized that this child might be related to his price. At the same time, a translucent book appeared in front of him. The words on the cover had a sense of existence that could not be ignored: "Cultivation Task Book" ".
Ji Shi stretched out his hand and found that he could touch it in mid-air!He turned to the first page, and there was a paragraph of text on it.
"The cost of crossing: Follow the main line of the world in the "Cultivation Task Book", protect the world lord, and complete the tasks of each chapter. At the end of each chapter, there will be corresponding rewards and punishments. If the world lord dies, the world will cease to exist."
Ji Shi was stunned for a moment after reading it, understood what the man said last, and continued to turn back, the second page read: "Chapter [-]: Guide the Lord of the World to step out of pain." After that, it was completely blank.Ji Shizheng was wondering how to put it away, only to find that the book had disappeared out of thin air.
He knows the price of this time travel, no wonder it is the price, cultivating the world lord?This is a long-term task, but he... doesn't like children.
Ji Shi covered his mouth and nose, and staggered down from the countless flesh and blood. The strong smell of blood and the sound of flesh being squeezed made Ji Shi slowly become numb.
Seeing him coming down, the child took a step back, staring at him with empty and hopeless eyes, with an extremely miserable expression.
"Who are you? Where is this?" Ji Shi asked.
The child just stared at him without responding.
Ji Shi's eyes were suddenly attracted by the joints exposed on the child's arms. He had touched so many just now... he couldn't read it wrong!That's really a bone!
"Are... are you okay?" Ji Shi chose a euphemistic way to confirm that this child is human.
And when the child heard his words, his dull pupils finally seemed to have some light. He moved over step by step, his bloody hands slowly hugged Ji Shi, trembling against Ji Shi, and could only hear a little faint sound. voice: "Brother, they are all dead... Daddy, brother, master, uncle... they are all dead..."
Ji Shiren let him hold him. The child was short and only reached the position above his waist. He hugged his waist tightly and desperately, making only a faint choking sound. Ji Shi felt that his waist was as if A large area was wet, whether it was blood or children's tears, he raised his eyes to look at the sky, what the hell is this place...
When the child finished venting, he pushed the child away and walked forward, stumbled, and the fragments of buildings he saw along the way made him feel as if this place should be a palace, and there are strange and orderly inexplicable lines on the ground.When he ran to a somewhat clean place, a red and white half crooked but still standing strong mountain gate made him guess that it was either a temple or the territory of those martial arts gangs in TV dramas.When he approached the mountain gate, he found that the mountain gate connected to the road down the mountain was still passable, and he could vaguely make out the words written on the half-destroyed mountain gate: Wanshizong.
Ji Shi turned his head to look at the purgatory, and then at the child who was walking slowly following him. This encounter was really like what the protagonist in a novel experienced when he was a child.
"Wan Shizong...Wan Shizong..." He murmured a few words silently, he didn't know or heard of it.
Ji Shi turned his head and started going down the mountain.It's really time-traveled. The setting of an unknown man who came out of a pile of corpses seems to be quite suitable for me.
Seeing him walking further and further away, the child behind him called out to his senior brother, quickened his pace, and accidentally fell down again.
Ji Shi ignored it, but as if he suddenly thought of something, he turned around and walked back.
The child thought that he was here to pull him to go with him, but he didn't know that the other party passed him directly, without even giving him a look, bit his lip, and worked hard to get up by himself. Looking back, he saw Ji Shi squatting on the ground, touching every belongings of a dead body.
The child hastily followed and said in a low voice: "Brother, you, aren't you afraid?"
Ji Shi didn't even lift his eyelids: "When a person dies, he's nothing more than rotten flesh." He continued to grope, and in the future he might be alone in this strange world. There is indeed some way out of what I imagined.
"Brother, what are you, how can you say that, that's our fellow brother..."
Ji Shi sneered, and didn't run on him anymore. He realized that he was a cold-blooded person when he was a child. In the original world, he was scolded by many people as a scum, but he didn't care, as long as he lived happily. .
Ji Shi collected a lot of things that seemed to be valuable and some bags that he couldn't open at all. He was sure that there must be a mystery in these bags.If I can't take it, I plan to leave.
On the way down the mountain, the two came across a small stream. Ji Shi looked at himself and found that it was not his original body. He walked over and planned to wash it, and wash those valuable things by the way. Ji Shi threw a few pieces of himself to the child The searched bag said: "Will you open this?"
These bags are small and delicate, and when opened, there is a swirling mist with silvery white shimmer inside, which Ji Shi has never seen before, as if there is another space there.
The child took it, with a look of despair: "After the owner of the storage bag dies, the restriction on opening the mouth will be invalid..." As he spoke, a few bottles of pills and some clothes suddenly appeared in his hands, and he skillfully poured water into the stream. After cleaning himself up, he began to apply ointment to all the wounds on his body, and after taking another pill, the child began to meditate. At the same time, the wounds on his body began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye, and even the white bones on his arms were New flesh has grown.
Ji Shi stared at it for a long time without speaking.Sure enough, this is the cultivation world.He turned his head and took a handful of water to wash himself. When he saw Yuan Shen's face, he froze for a moment... The person in the water was as beautiful as a crown jade, but his expression was extremely cold. Ji Shi deliberately grinned, but he But he saw a hint of sinisterness in it, and he couldn't help raising his eyebrows. No matter who the original owner of the body was, he probably wasn't a person to mess with. To have such an aura... It's terrifying.
After the two of them cleaned themselves up, Ji Shi also saw clearly the child beside him, who looked like a son of an aristocratic family, and had already substituted this child into the persona of the male lead of the starting point cultivation text by default.
"Who killed those people?" Ji Shi asked.
When the child heard his question, he said with a pale face, "Senior Brother Wan... didn't you see it?"
Ji Shi just shook his head and asked, "I didn't see it, what about you?"
The child wiped his face, pretending to be persevering and said: "I don't know, yesterday, yesterday was a sect feast, I just felt that there was an extremely strong sense of spiritual suppression, and I passed out on the spot. When I woke up, I was beaten Covered by father's treasure, father, everyone...all...all..."
At this moment, Ji Shi suddenly thought of the sentence written in the development task book, stepping out of pain, is it this pain?But he really has no patience for coaxing children.
Well, Ji Shi murmured, there is no way, who told this to be the price of crossing, but he was a little uncomfortable thinking that he would have to follow the instructions in the task book in the future. With his temperament... I really want to know what this punishment is.
"Are you familiar with me?" Ji Shi looked at the child who was about to collapse, and quickly changed the subject.
The child couldn't understand why he would ask such a question, so he sniffed and replied: "Senior brother and I are not from the same mountain, but I have seen you, so I know you, and I will say hello when we meet on weekdays."
Ji Shi nodded, looking unfamiliar, he urged him to go down the mountain after thinking about it. After the two went down the mountain together, Ji Shi looked at the unfamiliar market in front of him, with people coming and going, in stark contrast to the dead place on the mountain. In two days, if the people down the mountain got the news, they would panic.At that time, you will know what's going on.
