Chapter 2 It has been a thousand years in the world

Li Yu didn't know that the "thousand-year-old drunkenness" left by Fan Wuxian in the Medicine Master Cave was an extremely domineering drug. It is able to make the poisoned person fall into a deep sleep state, and the metabolism is almost stagnant. After Li Yu fainted, several mechanisms in the Medicine Master Cave were triggered, and the entire stone chamber was completely enclosed, forming an oxygen-free space. Fan Wuji's original intention was to use this method to preserve his body from decay for thousands of years, but unexpectedly let the martyred Li Yu survive.

The moment Li Yu woke up, it was already the beginning of the 21st century, and 380 years had passed since he passed out in a coma. He was rescued by an archaeological team from the Department of Archaeology of Yunjiang University. The archaeological team was led by professors Yang Ziyi and Liang Zhimei of the Department of Archaeology, and the two poisoned in the cave were Gong Zhenya, a doctor from the Department of Archaeology, and Xu Yingying, a master.

Li Yu was naturally unaware of these circumstances. He only realized through the changes in the scenery and the costumes and equipment of the archaeological team members that he had spent in the cave not for a day or two, or even a year and a half, but for hundreds of years. The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he couldn't stay in the valley any longer. He wanted to rush back to the camp of Hongmen Cangmu Rudder at once, and see what his only home had become now.

When he left the Medicine Master's Cave, Li Yu unceremoniously brought out all the medicinal materials that Fan Wuxian had hidden in the cave, and now he was carrying it on his back like a noodle pocket. With so many things, walking in a strange world is obviously extremely inconvenient. Li Yu's eyes rolled and stared at the stone cliff on the edge of the valley. He took out a grappling hook and rope from his backpack, used gecko skills to climb a cliff, found a small cave, and hid medicinal herbs and other materials in it. Of course, he had to carry the wooden box containing the Medicine Master's Sutra with him, and he still had a faint hope that if things didn't go as he thought, Han Zhi would have to count on the secret recipe in this scripture to detoxify.

Unloading the burden, Li Yu picked himself up. He hid the dagger in his backpack, smeared some dirt on it to make it look less conspicuous, and set out on the way out of the mountain.

The topography of Cangmu Mountain has not changed much from that time, but the roads and trees have changed beyond recognition. Li Yu left the Medicine Valley, and set foot on an asphalt road. He didn't know what the world had become, so he didn't dare to walk on the road, but hid in the woods by the roadside. Along the way, the road signs, propaganda slogans, satellite TV antennas on the roof of farmhouses, and cars speeding by on the road all made him feel a burst of heart, and he began to have a kind of postmodern melancholy - he has been abandoned by the times.

After walking for dozens of miles, a town appeared in front of me. Li Yu remembered that this town was called Mingxikou, and it was an ordinary town in Cangmu Mountain. However, like everything else Li Yu remembers, Mingxikou today is very different. In Li Yu's memory, there were only forty or fifty households in this town, and a small street paved with bluestone slabs ran through the whole town, and it was only a hundred and ten steps from the head of the town to the end of the town. Today, however, Mingxikou has a two-mile radius of roads, rows of houses, criss-crossed streets, and the population has increased by at least 20 times.

Looking at this town, Li Yu felt a little timid in his heart. Walking in the mountains, he has never been in contact with modern people, and he can still find some security. The thought of going deep into the town and being crowded with countless people, he didn't know what would happen.

As a professional assassin, Li Yu had an extraordinary courage, but this courage was based on his ability to control the environment in which he lived. If he was still at the end of the Ming Dynasty, even if he walked thousands of miles away, he wouldn't have to worry about revealing any flaws, because the rules, conversation, and cuts in the rivers and lakes of that era were all familiar to him. And now, more than half of the things in the market he didn't know, and what people said was full of mysteries, how he should protect himself.

But he also knew that he had to go into the town, because his stomach was already rumbling. He thought that the last time he had eaten, before entering the Medicine Master Valley, he had only hastily eaten some dry food. Now I don't know how many years have passed, and it is a miracle that I did not starve to death.

No, I can't go any further, I have to find a way to find food in the town, so that I can have the strength to deal with all kinds of unexpected changes. Indeed, every qiē in this town is unfamiliar to Li Yu, and may even hide all kinds of dangers, but Li Yu knows that he can no longer avoid them, because if he wants to survive, he must face this strange world. It was one of the toughest adventures of his career, and it would challenge his resilience and adaptability as an Assassin. He puffed himself up in his heart, no matter what, Mingxikou is also a place he has been to, with his wisdom and martial arts, he has calmly entered and exited any high-ranking officials' mansions and Japanese camps, is it possible that he can't break through such a town where civilians gather?

Li Yu thought of several different plans in his heart, then tidied up his clothes to make himself look less wolf, and then took an unhurried step, got on the highway, and walked towards Mingxikou Town. The expression on his face was very calm, but the corner of his eye was vigilantly looking at the surroundings, and his ears were pricked up, and he could hear the whispers of passers-by around him clearly.

"Hey, this person is dressed very strangely, why does he look like an ancient person......"

"I guess it's filming, how can I come out in costumes."

"Don't guess, this is the little Taoist priest of Sanqingguan on the mountain, you see that his hair is real, not a wig."

"He's not wearing a robe......

"No Taoist priest is allowed to wear casual clothes......"

"Hee-hee, the Taoist priest is going down the mountain, it's interesting ......"

It turned out that there were still Taoist priests in this world, and Li Yu silently wrote it down in his heart. He had noticed that his outfit was completely different from the people around him, and in his haste, he didn't have time to steal a set of clothes to change his clothes. If others can imagine themselves as Taoist priests on the mountain, then the doubts about their attire will be solved, and they will be able to appear in the market generously.

In fact, this is Li Yu's lack of understanding of modern society. In today's society, people's ability to accept all kinds of chaotic forces and strange gods is a hundred times stronger than that of the late Ming Dynasty. Not to mention that Li Yu appeared on the street wearing a set of clothes from the late Ming Dynasty, even if he is stripped naked now and runs around the street, everyone just scolds him contemptuously for being performance art, at best, he takes a few photos with his mobile phone and sends them to the circle of friends, and he will definitely not treat this kind of person as a demon and get rid of it quickly.

"The new 5s, as long as 4888 yuan, buy a mobile phone and send traffic!"

"Telecom contract machine, 399 yuan per year, mobile phone free delivery!"

"Electric car, run 150 kilometers on a full charge, go up the mountain like walking on the ground!"

"New to the Caribbean Sea hairy crab, 50 one!"

"You're my little apple, I can't love you enough...... Fire fire fire! ”

“……”

Walking on the street of Mingxikou, all kinds of noisy sounds came to his face, his eyes were full of eye-popping modern goods, and all kinds of bizarre neon signs shook so that Li Yu had the urge to vomit.

An ordinary town can be so prosperous, and the people on the street are all well-dressed and ruddy-faced, and they look like they are living a very prosperous life. The stalls are full of all kinds of goods, and the number is so large that it simply exceeds the largest southern goods trading house in the capital, what kind of prosperity is this!

Li Yu walked in the crowd with surprise, and couldn't see all kinds of drunken fans.

Of course, Li Yu's main purpose is to find food. There are many restaurants on the street, and the roadside food stalls are also one after another, and all kinds of food are tempting. However, Li Yu observed that when people bought things, they used a kind of banknote with an old man's head printed on it, and occasionally coins, which were very different from the copper coins in Li Yu's arms.

He guessed that if he took out a few "Heavenly Apocalypse Treasures" or a few silver tickets, he would be immediately arrested, and interrogated why he was still using the currency of the previous dynasty. Although he doesn't know which dynasty or generation it is now, he can be sure of one thing, the Ming Dynasty must no longer exist.
