A crisp sound echoed in my ears, accompanied by a sobbing cry.
Li Xiang raised his heavy eyelids and felt the pain in his head as if it was pierced by a sword. What he saw was the roof made of grass and trees.
what's the situation?
The architecture that could only appear in the 1970s and 1980s made him confused, and he suspected that he was still sleeping.
However, the suppressed crying next to him made Li Xiang wake up quickly.
"Who are you? Where are you?"
His eyes are sharp, and his years of martial arts practice have given Li Xiang a spirit that is different from ordinary people. Ordinary people can't help but subconsciously dodge when they look at him.
It is precisely because of his own strength that he can remain calm and calm no matter what he faces.
"Brother, don't you remember me?" Li Ying was stunned when she heard Li Xiang's words, and then she started crying softly.
"It must be those bad guys who harmed you. If it weren't for Ying'er, you wouldn't be like this."
This is all nothing.
Li Xiang, who was already suffering from unbearable pain in his head, couldn't stand the noise anymore and interrupted: "If you have anything to say, please tell me and stop crying."
Perhaps it was the first time she was yelled at, so Li Ying was immediately frightened. Although tears of grievance could not stop flowing down her face, she still did not dare to speak out.
"Okay, don't be like this."
"Let's all calm down and talk to each other, okay?" Li Xiang was most embarrassed to see anyone cry, especially an eleven or twelve-year-old girl crying in front of him.
After scanning the surrounding environment and confirming that it was not any known modern house, he settled down.
Despite the facilities of the house in front of him and the dress of the little girl in front of him, he felt that he was in an unusual place.
But in the martial arts world, there is no shortage of secret places that have been passed down from ancient times.
Perhaps, he entered such a secret place for some unknown reasons.
Just when Li Xiang wanted to ask Li Ying something, a complex and complicated memory scene flashed in his mind like a movie, giving him a splitting headache.
"What are these?"
In strange memories, this world is still in ancient times, and the capital of the country they live in is called Daqian.
During the more than 300 years since the founding of Daqian, the weather has been good and the people have been peaceful...it's strange.
In fact, in this world similar to ancient times, even if it is powerful enough to dominate the world and occupy the territory of a state, it is not peaceful.
There are gold belts for murder and arson, but there are no corpses for repairing bridges and roads.
The rich are so rich that they can go out to the Badi Bridge, where they can eat and drink delicacies from all over the world, and there are countless ways to have fun.
The poor can't even afford to eat. Let alone eating, it is not uncommon for people to starve to death these days.
Unfortunately, the owner of the body occupied by Li Xiang obviously belongs to the latter.
Of course, thanks to being the latter, he was able to successfully move in when the original owner of the body lost his mind. If it were someone with a strong mental outlook, as an outsider, he still wouldn't be able to tell who would kill whom.
Speaking of mental outlook, Li Xiang remembered what some old timers in the martial arts world had said.
The end of martial arts is god. Practicing martial arts is not as good as practicing god. What makes martial arts stronger is the body. No matter how strong the body is, that person will die in two or three hundred years.
But practicing Shen is different, practicing Shen exercises the human spirit and soul.
If the spiritual soul is strong enough, theoretically even immortality is possible.
"Spirit, soul. It seems that what those old guys said is not all lies." Li Xiang thought about it. Most of the records about spiritual training come from ancient books.
It is said that it is a spiritual training. In fact, martial artists in the martial arts world are deeply skeptical of that statement.
Needless to say, in the modern martial arts world, even in the modern martial arts world, there are no examples of anyone practicing as a god.
Therefore, practicing God only exists in legends.
Now, because of the matter of soul seizing, Li Xiang can prove that there may indeed be a way to practice spirituality.
He has a soul and a spirit, and he has even obtained most of the memories of the original owner of this body. Even if he has some spiritual training, it is not impossible.
After clarifying some things, Li Xiang began to search for the identity of the original owner of the body in the fragmented memory.
He didn't know whether this so-called Daqian was from an unknown dynasty in ancient times or a different world from the earth. But no matter what the situation was, he had to understand his own situation first.
With the in-depth exploration of the memory, pieces of information were gradually understood and digested by Li Xiang.
The original owner of the body was also named Li Xiang. It was no coincidence. In ancient times, there were many people with the same name. As far as he knew, there were two or three people named Li Xiang in the neighborhood alone.
In addition, names like Zhang San and Li Si are everywhere on the streets.
Li Xiang, the original owner of the body, is seventeen years old this year. In this era where people get married and have children at the age of thirteen or fourteen, as a poor second generation, he certainly has no conditions to get married.
Not only that, because of the cruel living conditions, in recent years, he has been living with his only sister Li Ying.
Most likely, Li Xiang was working hard outside, trying to earn rations, while Li Ying was in charge of being a tow truck, doing daily chores.
Life in poverty is always difficult.
Although Li Xiang joined a third-rate gang called the Qingzhu Gang and became a small leader through hard work and fearless death, to put it bluntly, he was just a pawn, basically a fool who could be supplemented at any time.
No, a few days ago, I helped the Qingzhu Gang to secure a territory and get some extra rations. Seeing that life was getting a little better, they were retaliated by the hostile gang. Seven or eight men secretly hid them, and after a sap, the original gang was beaten. Li Xiang almost became a vegetative state.
It was precisely because of this that Li Xiang didn't encounter any resistance when he took over, and the result was so smooth that he didn't even notice that he had changed his body.
"elder brother……"
Thinking about the tragic life of the original owner of the body, a timid voice came to Li Xiang's ear. He looked up and saw that it was the little oil bottle Li Ying.
"What's wrong?"
No matter what, he now occupies this body, and Li Xiang wants to compensate the only relative in this body as much as possible.
Therefore, he tried his best to speak softly.
"We ran out of bran rice at home, so I used the remaining bran rice and soft sand to make rice balls, but..."
As she spoke, Li Ying started sobbing again and said aggrievedly: "But I accidentally fell to the ground just now."
After hearing this, Li Xiang looked at the broken porcelain bowl on the ground. In the broken porcelain bowl, there were three rice balls that were black and covered with dust and dirt, like animal feces.
Needless to say, after eating, Li Xiang felt like retching just by looking at it.
Considering that Li Ying was aggrieved and might complain at any time, he did not show his emotions.
"Huh?" Li Ying was stunned for a moment, and then quickly handed the rice ball, which was dark and tasteless, to Li Xiang.
"this……"
The corners of Li Xiang's mouth twitched slightly. He had also suffered through hard times. When practicing martial arts, he was often bruised all over his body. Some of the food he ate was as ugly as stool.
But practicing martial arts can replenish oneself. No matter how serious the injury is, you will gain just as much after recovery.
The food and drink tasted bad, but the nutritional value was not that high.
There is no comparison between the two sides.
Taking the rice ball, Li Xiang stared at it for a while, then opened his mouth and slowly bit into it, chewing it carefully.
No matter how unpalatable the food is, he can face it with a calm mind.
This theory is also applicable to martial arts training. No matter how difficult or painful martial arts training is, he can still smile and face it expectantly.
Only with this kind of mentality can you have the prerequisites to become a martial artist.
Astringent, salty, some hard, some soft.
As expected, Li Xiang's feeling was correct. This rice ball was not generally unpalatable. Of course, this was not the most important thing. What was important was that it was somewhat difficult to digest.
"Hiccup~"
A hiccup came from Li Xiang's mouth, and he was choked.
He had been very cautious about the rice balls, but due to his poor physical condition, he still choked.
If it were his original body, he would be able to swallow three rice balls with no problem thanks to the strong physique brought about by martial arts training.
It's a pity that without if, this body is already weak, and after being beaten up, the weak intestines and stomach will suffer from indigestion.
"Brother, here's the water." Li Ying was a little person, but she cared for her brother more than anyone else. Seeing Li Xiang choked, she hurriedly brought a ladle of water.
"Gudu." Li Xiang saw the tiny impurities in the water, but the environment forced him to do nothing.
He picked up the water ladle and took two big sips in succession. The hiccups were immediately effectively cured.
After rubbing his stomach, Li Xiang ate and drank, letting his weak stomach digest the food in his stomach as much as possible.
"By the way, I remember that I just gave out two loads of rice to the gang. Are you done with it now?"
The reason why the original owner was beaten was because he helped the Qingzhu Gang to conquer a territory belonging to a rival gang, so he was targeted.
There are rewards and punishments. This is also the rule in the Qingzhu Gang. One load of rice weighs fifty catties, and two loads of rice is equivalent to one hundred catties.
With this ration, the brother and sister could eat sparingly and eat for more than half a year without any problem.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" Li Ying couldn't help sobbing again when she mentioned the two loads of rice: "It's all useless Ying'er, brother, when you were in a coma, the guys who usually follow you came and asked to borrow rice."
"If I didn't give it to them, they would just take it away."
"Those guys who follow me?" Li Xiang thought for a moment and remembered that the original owner of the body was the young leader of the Qingzhu Gang, and he was also in charge of No. 78.
Those who usually follow him are the seven or eight people.
What surprised him was that those little gangsters usually beat up the original owner of the body one by one in front of and behind Boss Li, and no one spoke up, and they all added insult to injury.
He is indeed a fool.
He shook his head. According to Li Xiang's analysis of some of the characters in his memory, there were actually quite a few ruthless gangsters in the Qingzhu Gang, but there were very few who were as conspicuous as the original owner of the body.
No one else has been retaliated against, but the original owner of this body has been retaliated against. Isn't that stupid?
"It's silly, but it's still mine."
"If you dare to disturb Tai Sui, you are really seeking death!" Li Xiang's eyes flashed with cold light. In the martial arts world, he was known as the Black Tiger, and his black evil palm frightened countless martial arts practitioners.
Now a group of gangsters dare to bully him. This matter must not be left alone.
"Is this the Qingzhu Gang's Li Xiang's house?" Just when Li Xiang was secretly angry, a simple and rough voice came from outside the door.
"No, Li Xiang's house is the second house on the left across the street."
Without thinking about it, Li Xiang simply gave an address and came to see him when he was injured. He was still a man. Thinking about it, he knew that he must be his enemy.
Even if he is not an enemy, he is not a good person.
The big boss of the Qingzhu Gang, the gang leader and the deputy gang leaders looked down upon small bosses like Li Xiang at all, and apart from the Qingzhu Gang, Li Xiang didn't know anyone else.
"Uh..." Outside the door, the man who had just spoken to Li Xiang choked. He had already investigated before coming. This house must be the address of Li Xiang of the Qingzhu Gang. The reason why he asked was because he had a reason for talking.
What he didn't expect was that Li Xiang didn't play according to the routine at all.
"Forget it, let me do it." Next to the muscular man was a woman in a light red dress. The woman in the red dress sighed, feeling helpless at Li Xiang's caution.
"Master Li, it's me."
"Do you remember Benimachi Bridge?"
Woman? Benimachi Bridge?
What a mess!
Without even thinking about it, Li Xiang knew that he didn't know anyone. Except for the little bastard Li Ying and the gangsters from the Qingzhu Gang, he knew no one.
Regarding the interpersonal network, he also had to admire the original owner of the body.
"If there is no one else named Li Xiang in the Qingzhu Gang, then I am."
"But I don't know you. I'm afraid you have found the wrong person." Li Xiang's tone was cautious. Although personal power in this suspected ancient world has been greatly amplified, the human sea tactic is still effective.
Even in his previous life, he still had to run away when facing hundreds of gangsters with sharp blades with bare hands.
Not to mention now, it's better to be careful.
"There is no mistake. Mr. Li should be able to recall it after seeing me." The woman in the red dress spoke softly and was not angry because of Li Xiang's attitude.
"Ying'er, go open the door for her." After thinking about it, Li Xiang decided to let the person outside the door in. If they really have malicious intentions, a door can't stop them.
"Oh." Li Ying nodded obediently, ran to the door and opened it.
When she saw it, a tall shadow cast over her. She raised her little head and looked at it, feeling a little dazed.
In front of her was a muscular man who was over 1.9 meters tall and whose whole body was like fine iron.
Looking at that man's physique, it wouldn't be difficult to break a five-centimeter-thick stone slab with just one punch.
very scary!
Li Ying opened her mouth, and tears could not help but accumulate in her eyes. She ran to Li Xiang and said nervously: "Brother, the person coming from outside is a man, not a woman."
The person speaking was obviously a woman, but when she opened the door, she turned into a man. It was so scary.
"This..." Li Xiang was speechless at his sister's naivety. Under his gaze, a woman in a red dress walked out from behind the tower-like man.
This woman is about twenty years old, and the knee-length red skirt cannot cover the exposed curves of her perky buttocks and her breasts that are about to appear. She seems to naturally exude strong female hormones when she moves around.
What concerned Li Xiang the most was not this woman's figure or her pretty face.
What he focused on was the long, straight, round legs.
"Such long white legs, no, such big long legs..."
"No." Li Xiang was a little incoherent. Although some guys in the martial arts world like to wear ancient costumes, this was the first time he saw a long-legged girl wearing ancient costumes, so it was understandable that he would be excited.
"Master Li." The woman in the red dress froze. She originally wanted to ask Li Xiang if he remembered her memory, but she didn't expect to get such an obscene answer.
"Ahem, um, tell me." Li Xiang's face straightened, and then he remembered that his body was a little weak now, and even if he was really allowed to do it, he might not be able to do it well.
So, just take a look.
Any ideas you have will have to wait until later to be put into practice.
"Last time I ran away from home secretly, and I ran into some trouble because I didn't bring any guards."
"In order to thank Mr. Li for his generous action, I came here to express my gratitude and express my feelings." The face of the woman in the red dress remained unchanged, but there was a slight change in her eyes.
Originally, she wanted to establish some friendly relations with Li Xiang to repay the kindness she received last time.
But seeing Li Xiang's current behavior, she completely lost that interest.
After waving, the woman in the red dress took out a money bag from the strong man waiting next to her and placed it on a wooden table with missing edges.
"There are twenty taels of silver in it, and there is also a token of my Zhang family. If Mr. Li is in trouble in the future, or needs help, I, the Zhang family, will try my best to help you if we can."
Showing hospitality for nothing is either adultery or theft.
A beautiful girl came to his door with money and benefits. Li Xiang was not a fool, and he became very wary and vigilant.
I searched carefully for the remaining memories in my mind, not to mention, I really found memories about the woman in front of me.
According to the memory of the original owner of the body, the little boss Li Xiang led his gangsters on a daily patrol that day. At Hongting Bridge, they encountered a few gangless gangsters who were causing trouble and wanted to do something to a very beautiful woman.
There is also a difference between gangsters and gangsters. Those with gangs are more advanced than those without gangs, so they won't be scared at all when they encounter them.
In addition, I was originally a human-headed iron, so I didn't use my brain. When I saw a beautiful girl being teased, I immediately came up and a hero came to save her.
Although he didn't have a perfect encounter with the girl in the end, and he didn't get any substantial benefits, the little boss Li Xiang still had fun for several days.
If the long-legged girl hadn't come to her doorstep to offer her any favors, Li Xiang would have definitely scolded her as a fool, but now it was different.
I have to say that there is a certain truth in why stupid people are lucky.
If Li Xiang hadn't performed very well before, which made the long-legged girl feel disgusted, according to the personality of the little boss Li Xiang, he might have been able to develop a long-term relationship with the long-legged girl.
"Well, I won't need to repay you in the future."
"If you are willing, girl, help me buy some special medicine to treat bruises. I am seriously injured now, which has seriously affected my normal life."
Picking up girls is a good thing, but you must have the ability first.
When he was incapable, Li Xiang had no other interests. The most important thing at the moment was to recover from his injuries and rebuild the Black Devil Palm.
Only by possessing a certain level of personal strength can he increase his chances of survival in this troubled world.
"Are you sure?"
"You know, even the big boss of your Qingzhu Gang is very eager to get my favor from Zhang Yuexi."
"Are you sure you want to exchange some special potion for this favor?" Zhang Yuexi, a long-legged girl, squinted her eyes. Although Li Xiang may not realize the importance of the Zhang family, she still gave a few hints.
"I'm sure." Li Xiang nodded. Looking at the long-legged girl's posture, he knew that she was probably the daughter of a landlord and a wealthy family.
In feudal society, some influential families were even more powerful than gangs.
But this did not affect his determination.
Strength is fundamental.
No matter which era it is placed in, this is an eternal truth.
No matter how important other people's favor is, it is not as important as improving yourself.
"Okay, I will send someone to deliver the bruise medicine you want." Zhang Yuexi looked deeply at Li Xiang, turned around and left. Her debt for being saved last time will be completely repaid after giving the bruise medicine to Li Xiang.
Although this made Li Xiang seem to be at a loss, she had no intention of making up for it anymore. The conditions were proposed by Li Xiang. If Li Xiang thought that the conditions he proposed were not high, he would be able to contain her in the future, that would be a big mistake.
After watching Zhang Yuexi leave, Li Xiang opened the money bag Zhang Yuexi had given him before and counted it carefully, and found that it was really twenty taels.
One tael of silver is equivalent to five hundred copper coins, and the purchasing power of copper coins is not much different from that of RMB in previous lives.
Twenty taels of silver is not too much.
But compared to the five taels of silver the little boss Li Xiang earns every month, these twenty taels of silver are already a huge income.
Don't take the money you are given for free, only a fool will take it.
Li Xiang accepted the money with peace of mind and began to cultivate himself quietly.
If you want to practice martial arts if you are poor in literature and rich in martial arts, you must first heal your injuries and strengthen your body to a certain level before you can start practicing Black Evil Palm.
Even though Li Xiang had mastered the black evil palm in his previous life, he now had a weak body. According to his estimation, he would not be able to achieve anything in less than a year and a half.
There is no rice or noodles at home, so this is a top priority.
After searching his body, Li Xiang took out twenty copper coins and handed them to Li Ying.
"Go buy some steamed buns on the street. Now that you have money in your pocket, you don't have to be so frugal."
"Ah? Oh." Li Ying took the copper coins in a daze. She hadn't eaten steamed buns for a long time. Usually, even if her family had some money, they would buy bran rice, because it ward off hunger.
It’s just that bran rice resists hunger and is cheap. Just think about it and you know it won’t taste as good.
Now that she heard Baozi, she started to cheer for joy.
Asking Li Ying to buy steamed buns, Li Xiang's eyes moved to the lower left corner of his eyes. When he just woke up, he noticed that there was a small light blue book in his eyes.
Judging from the size, the blue book is only the size of an ant. It is inconspicuous, but it is an eyesore.
At first, Li Xiang thought there were bugs in his eyes, but after rubbing them for a long time, he found that they were not.
The blue book in his sight seems to be stored on his perspective film. Others cannot see it, only he can see it. It is somewhat similar to a 3D picture.
After studying for a long time, Li Xiang found some tricks. He silently thought about zooming in, and the blue book followed his thoughts and zoomed in to the entire viewing angle.
Now, he could see the blue book clearly.
"There are no words at all. Could it be that it's the Wordless Heavenly Book?" Li Xiang was a little puzzled. As this thought fell, the four characters "Wordless Heavenly Book" slowly appeared on the top of the blue book!
"Is it really a wordless book?"
Somewhat stunned and speechless, Li Xiang glanced at the wordless heavenly book in sight and began to search again. However, after looking for a long time, he found nothing this time.
"Is the Book without Words the name of this book, or was it changed according to my thoughts?" This idea appeared in Li Xiang's mind. He hesitated, and after thinking about it, he meditated on the Book with Words again.
Immediately afterwards, the four characters of the Wordless Heavenly Book changed. After trembling like ripples, the Wordless Heavenly Book became the Written Heavenly Book.
"It really changes according to my thoughts." Li Xiang exclaimed in admiration, looking at the blank writing except for four large characters on the signed heavenly book, and didn't know what to say.
It is written in the Heavenly Book, but apart from these four characters, there is still no other content.
What is the use of this thing? To relieve boredom when you are bored?
"It's so hot." Suddenly, there was a strong burning sensation in his chest, which almost made Li Xiang jump out of bed. He took out a jade pendant from his chest along the string around his neck.
The emerald green Guanyin Jade Pendant was begged by the mother of the little boss Li Xiang for him. Looking at the messy and conspicuous impurities, you can tell that it is not a valuable thing.
But now the color of this emerald green jade Guanyin has turned deep red, and the heat it emits is comparable to flames, making it look extremely weird.
Before Li Xiang could throw the crimson Jade Guanyin away, a huge suction force came from his eyes. The heat of the crimson Jade Guanyin dropped rapidly, and the color gradually returned to normal.
When the heat completely disappeared, the jade Guanyin turned into white powder, like the embers of burned incense.
"What's going on?"
Li Xiang was stunned when he witnessed the whole process. This was the first time he had seen such a strange sight, and he had never heard of it before.
Carefully recalling the journey of Jade Guanyin from existence to non-existence, he soon thought of the Heavenly Book with Words.
When his eyes gathered together, he saw a line of small words appearing below the previously blank written book.
Black Evil Palm: Not yet started.
The three characters "Not yet started" are constantly twisting and turning, sometimes enlarging and sometimes shrinking.
For some reason, Li Xiang felt that as long as he wanted to, he could make the words "Unentrance" change.
"Brother, I'm back."
Before Li Xiang could confirm his thoughts, Li Ying hurriedly ran into the house with a blushing face and a large bag of buns wrapped in oil paper in her hand.
"Oh, I'm back." Li responded, picked up the hot steamed buns and started eating them. Compared to the unpalatable rice balls, the meat buns tasted much better.
"You eat too?"
Seeing Li Ying standing motionless in front of him, Li Xiang was a little puzzled.
"Oh." Li Ying nodded cautiously, picked up the bun and ate it in small bites, as if she was enjoying some delicacy in the world.
"Why."
Looking at Li Ying's appearance, Li Xiang sighed softly in his heart. Not to mention that some of the emotions left behind by his body affected him. Even a normal person would probably be upset if he saw such a young child not having enough to eat.
Feeling.
Today's world is really cruel.
People like Li Ying are a true portrayal of most people at the bottom. This chapter has been completed!
