In the market in Xunjun City, three teenagers wearing Qingshan Academy disciple uniforms were standing on the street.

One big one and two small ones.

Xiang He walked in front with his head held high, and introduced the two youngsters behind him, "Junior brother, you may not know that when you first came to Xun County, the city was more lively at this time in previous years than it is now."

"Huh? Then why is it like this?" It was the first time for Xiao Jiu to visit the ancient street market. Everything he saw was new, and every wine glass seemed like an antique.

There are a lot of people coming and going around, so what was the street like when it was busier in the past?

"That can't be said clearly in one sentence." Xiang He walked slowly, holding a bottle of wine in one hand and taking a sip from time to time. He was quite chivalrous.

"On a larger scale, it's related to some of the measures above. There are wars on the border every day, and fighting consumes people..." He sighed, "On a smaller scale, it's also related to some bed bugs in Xun County."

"Bedbug?" Xiao Jiu was curious.

Xiang He lowered his head and glanced at him, "That's the one you met when you were saved by the teacher."

Well, looking back on the person in his memory, Xiao Jiu understood.

Suddenly Xiang He sighed, "From now on, avoid that guy. There will always be disasters in any family, either to others or to their own family. Their family has left a lot of disasters in the past few generations!"

"The good reputation of our ancestors has been completely tarnished!"

Xiang He was merciless in his words. Perhaps because he was looking at the two children, he didn't take precautions and said everything in his heart.

Xiao Jiu thought thoughtfully, "Is the Meng family famous?"

The two people next to them widened their eyes, and then they remembered the fact that Xiao Jiu was only a little older, so they put aside their surprise, "The ancestor of the Meng family was also a famous founding general of the Qi State! Later, the descendants declined, and all they could do was rest on the inheritance of their ancestors.

It was a blessing in the past, but now it has become a scourge in a fish and meat village."

There are many such disasters, which have caused countless families to be broken up and their families torn apart, but no one can cure them.

There are so many injustices in this world, and even the sword in your hand cannot cut them off.

Thinking about it, Xiang He took a big gulp of wine.

"No one is following you, you kids, don't run down the mountain alone." He gave a sinister smile, "Be careful of the jackals, tigers and leopards at the bottom of the mountain snatching you away."

Oxfam was startled by his appearance and curled his lips disdainfully, "Stop bluffing, there are wild beasts down the mountain."

"But sometimes, humans are scarier than beasts."

A voice suddenly answered.

Xiang He and Oxfam turned around to see Xiao Jiu with a calm expression.

Xiang He was stunned for a moment, and looked at Xiao Jiu with a flash of light in his eyes, "It seems that I don't need to worry about my junior brother, but you..."

He turned his eyes to the big and slender Oxfam beside him and said, "Sixth Junior Brother, you are probably not even as good as the new Junior Brother..."

"Eh?!" Oxfam was stunned by what he said, and then he was unconvinced, "How could that be possible! Third brother, you are talking nonsense!"

Forget it, there's no other way.

Xiang He did not argue with him and continued to take the two little ones for a walk.

"System, I've wanted to ask for a long time," Xiao Jiu saw a shop with a hanging brush, "You said that this world is similar to the Spring and Autumn Period of our time and space. But as far as I know, the writing brush was born in the Qin Dynasty in history.

The hand of Guo Mengtian is something from the Warring States Period. There are also some other skills, crafts, humanities, and customs. There are similarities and differences between the two time and spaces."

"For example, the history of the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties is the same. But the difference between the two time and space is that there was an inflection point at the end of the Zhou Dynasty, which changed into the Qi, Jing, Wei, Yan and Nanman sixteen tribes and five kingdoms that were different from that time and space.

Secession. What’s going on?”

Xiao Jiu does not have much communication with the system, and there is almost no communication at ordinary times. But Xiao Jiu knows that it is always there.

"It seems that you have noticed that, yes, this world can be regarded as a parallel time and space of your original world. The reason why the world has become what it is now is also related to that turning point."

The next words spoken by the system made Xiao Jiu pause on the spot.

It said: "A traveler once appeared in this time and space."

About two seconds later, the system automatically replied: "It has nothing to do with me. It was a soul that accidentally fell into this time and space due to the turbulence of time and space."

Xiao Jiu took another step and looked at the surrounding shops while answering in her heart: "The probability is one in a hundred billion."

"That's right."

Xiao Jiu boldly guessed the reason why the system mentioned this matter, "You want to tell me that the change in the world now has something to do with this time traveler?"

"Yes." The system spontaneously explained the past to Xiao Jiu, "The alien soul came to this world and possessed the son of the last emperor of the Zhou Dynasty. Then he successfully fought for the throne and became the emperor smoothly, ruling the world.

"

Um?

So what are the five countries now...?

He then heard the system continue: "Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. He ascended to the throne of God, and soon the princes rioted and the world was in chaos."

"Although the Zhou Dynasty fell, its history has been changed. It experienced a series of battles over a hundred years and gradually formed the current Five Kingdoms."

Xiao Jiu and two others walked into a shop, looked around casually, and asked, "What did he do?"

"Restructure, cut off the feudal clan," the system paused for a moment, and then added: "Perhaps there is also a reason to suppress the powerful forces of the family..."

"Chi——"

Oxfam was confused, "Junior brother, why are you laughing?"

Xiao Jiu replied: "Happy."

"Oh..." After receiving the answer, Oxfam stopped worrying and continued to drag Xiao Jiu around.

Xiao Jiu asked the system in his mind: "What is the posthumous name of this dear friend after his death? I haven't heard the teacher talk about his history."

System: "Mengling Emperor."

Xiao Jiu couldn't help but want to laugh, "Who gave this the posthumous title?"

Do you still have to deal with people after death?

"The princes and kings of that time."

"All right."

Unexpectedly, after Xiao Jiu stopped speaking, the system suddenly said, "I advise you to take this as a warning."

"Um?"

Xiao Jiu understood what the system meant, but he didn't say anything and only made a nasal sound.

"I know what you want to do now. You want to make money, connect with Oxfam, and strengthen your own financial strength in the future. You are not the first host I took. Those who wanted to compete in the world had to take the first step.

The steps are basically like this..."

"Including the time traveler who has been to this world, their behavior of increasing their own strength along the way, to sum up, in your words, is - black technology changes the world."

"Is this your personal opinion? Oh no, I'm wrong. It's your experience and feelings based on the many missionaries you have led?"

After all, the other person is not a human being and cannot be described as a human being.

But Xiao Jiu thought for a while and suddenly said: "Why do I feel that you seem to... look down on them? Or maybe you just lightly despise them?"

Maybe it’s because I’m used to seeing the same routines and dramas, so I’m bored and bored?

Although the system always spoke without a tone, judging from the arrangement of the words in the sentence, it gave Xiao Jiu such a feeling.

The system admitted very readily, "Using your human emotions to understand it, this description is correct. Because 90% of them fail the mission."

Xiao Jiu was really stunned when he was told. "Isn't it right to first acquire financial capabilities?"

System: "It can't be said that it's wrong. It depends on the time and the situation. In the final analysis, their failure in later missions was due to their own abilities. There are hosts who succeeded in their missions, and they started like this."

"Mastering technology and knowledge levels that are ahead of this era does not mean that you will definitely become the final winner in this troubled world."

Xiao Jiu's expression did not change, but instead showed a soft smile, "Thank you for your advice, but I would like you to call me an independent individual."

"We are collaborators, not superior or subordinate."

"I know what you want to tell me. I can only sum it up with two points: First, holding black technology may not necessarily lead the world, because you are only one person, and there are tens of millions of people in this world. It cannot allow you to lead the world.

Incomparably stronger."

One person cannot defeat the world.

"Second, it's a matter of mentality. Don't think too highly of yourself. Every civilization in the world has its own meaning and a deep foundation. It's not something I can do just by thinking about it. The Mengling Emperor is the best example, right, system?"

Although it is not sure whether the other party's series of measures to cut down the empire and suppress the powerful are to consolidate his position or whether he really cares about the people, judging from the final results of the other party, his series of actions can only be defined as - rash advancement

.

This time, the system was silent for a long time. After a while, it finally spoke: "It's best for the host to understand."

"Can I make a small request?"

"Host, please speak."

Xiao Jiu smiled and said, "I don't like that someone can peek into my heart all the time."

The system said it understood. After all, in its impression, this is a common habit of human beings. "Good host, this system will meet your requirements."

"Thank you." Xiao Jiu said politely, keeping today's conversation with the system in his heart.
