Chapter 1: The Beginning of the Crossing

Next Chapter

The rainy night is deep, the dark clouds seem to be dripping water, except for the occasional flash of lightning, there is no light, a faintly lit office in the office building of a research institute in Beijing and the surrounding black oppressive environment forms a sharp contrast, like fireflies in the night sky.

In the office, a young man who looked to be about 30 was staring intently at the computer screen, with various documents and materials scattered on the desk, and a half-drunk cup of coffee steaming faintly.

"I finally found it, and after so long of tossing, I finally got a little eyebrows." The man whispered to himself.

The man's name is Ling Yu, a senior researcher at a research institute in Beijing, China, he is very talented and very hard-working, often people are off work, he is still in the office to find information, this time he is studying artificial intelligence, as a senior talent in computer science, he is not satisfied with the traditional computer field, a chance let him see artificial intelligence-related information, since then he began this research road.

"It's past eleven o'clock, it seems that I can't go home at night, it's going to rain outside, let's call Xiaoling." Ling Yu sighed silently.

The Xiaoling in Ling Yu's mouth is his wife Zhou Ling, who has been married for more than a year and has a newborn son, Ling Yu is busy with various studies a lot of time on weekdays, and he doesn't have much time at home, and Ling Yu's parents and wife are in charge of the family together, so Ling Yu feels very ashamed of his wife and children.

"Hey, Xiaoling, I'm sorry, I'm late in the unit at night, so I'll live in the dormitory." Ling Yu dialed Zhou Ling's phone and said apologetically.

"It's like this again, can you take care of the family, my son hasn't seen you for two days, he will leave early and return late." Zhou Ling complained.

Complaining is complaining, Zhou Ling can actually understand Ling Yu, they fell in love in college, and until today, Zhou Ling also knows Ling Yu very well about a technical nerd, although he often forgets to sleep and eat because of research, but Ling Yu is still a man who takes care of his family in general, as long as he does not devote himself to studying something, he is still very hard-working at home.

"Hehe, okay, Xiaoling, I will go home on time after work tomorrow, not for example." Ling Yu assured with a smile.

"Okay, that's it, you take care of yourself too, rest early. Research is never done. As a wife, Zhou Ling also took the trouble to advise.

"I will, then that's for now. I cleaned up and rested. After Ling Yu finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

"Hey, it's not bad, the program that just compiled is ready for initial learning." Ling Yu looked at the bracelet on his wrist with some excitement.

This bracelet is a popular smart bracelet now, which can monitor the heartbeat and pulse of the human body, and the appearance looks ordinary, and it looks a bit like a bracelet when worn on the wrist. Ling Yu has always been researching artificial intelligence by modifying the program on the bracelet, after all, it is known as a smart bracelet, and he wants to study it to see if he can really become intelligent.

"Hehe, it's almost out of power, plug it in and charge it for a while, then call it a day and rest, take a good rest tomorrow, and go back to accompany them." Ling Yu leisurely drank coffee and thought silently.

Putting down the cup that had finished drinking coffee, Ling Yu slowly stood up, ready to plug the bracelet into the computer to charge it, when at this moment, there was a torrential rain of lightning and thunder outside.

"It's raining so hard, but the heavier the rain, the more comfortable it is to sleep, hehe." Ling Yu thought jokingly.

Ling Yu silently picked up the data cable that had been connected to the computer and plugged it into the bracelet that had been taken off and grabbed in his hand. Suddenly, a sudden change occurred, and a lightning bolt flashed in front of the window, and Ling Yu lost consciousness and fell to the ground blackened, the bracelet in his hand had disappeared.

………………

The night is dark and the wind is high, there are many big mansions scattered in the east city, the lanterns at the door of each house are blown by the wind and the left and right are flickering and dimming, outside the Ling family mansion in Beiping Mansion, there are many black-clothed people on the surrounding streets slowly approaching the wall of the mansion with light steps, if you look down from a high place, you can find that the Ling Mansion is slowly surrounded.

At this time, outside the gate of the Ling Mansion, a figure who seemed to be the leader asked the black-clothed man beside him, "Are you all ready?" Don't miss the big thing. ”

"Lord Hui, it is ready, the brothers have surrounded the Ling Mansion, and it is difficult for them to fly." The subordinate replied.

"Hmph, these untouchables who don't know how to lift up have been disobeying my Zhao family for many years, and now they dare to refuse the kindness of the master, and it is not a pity to die."

"What the adults are saying is that it's up to the adults to decide whether to start acting or not."

"Well, let's do it, don't leave alone."

After the leader gave the order, he saw a flash of white light on the black-clothed people, and then he jumped over the wall and entered the Ling Mansion as light as a swallow, and then there were shouts and screams in the mansion, and in an instant, the flesh and blood flew sideways, and the night was even deeper and more poignant.

Soon, the gate opened, and the leader and the rest of his subordinates also rushed into the mansion, and in the courtyard, the courtyard was doing its best to resist the man in black, only to see all kinds of lights flying and flickering, as if watching a fantasy blockbuster, the leader sneered and quickly joined the battle group.

After a fight, the shouting gradually subsided, and the corpses and blood stains on both sides on the ground formed a Shura-like picture, and the leader's cold eyes showed no mercy, and he moved his body, which was a little tired from the fight just now, and said, "What about the thing?" ”

"Your Excellency... I didn't find what the adults wanted, but the big housekeeper of the Ling Mansion escaped with the newborn little boy under the protection of some guards, presumably on them, and his subordinates had ordered someone to chase them. ”

"Hmph, waste, so many people are still gone, what do you want." With that, with a wave of his right hand, the subordinate exploded all over, as if he had been torn apart by a bomb.

"My subordinates are incompetent, please forgive me." Seeing this, the other people next to him trembled with fright, and hurriedly knelt down in unison to plead guilty.

"Go, send more people, if you can't chase it back, you will come to see you." The leader said lightly, as if nothing had happened.

How dare his subordinates say more, they immediately follow the leader's instructions to hunt down and kill those who escaped from the Ling Mansion.

………………

Ling Yu only felt that he had slept for a long time, slowly, Ling Yu's consciousness gradually returned to his body, he slowly opened his eyes, he felt that his whole body seemed to be covered by something, his hands and feet were weak, Ling Yu looked around nervously, he was lying on an empty river beach, and there was a slowly flowing river on the side.

"What kind of place is this? Why am I here, why can't I move my hands and feet? Ling Yu was shocked.

"Is there anyone?" Ling Yu shouted nervously, but all he could hear was the baby's cry.

Ling Yu heard the voice, looked around nervously, and found that there was no one else here except him. "Am I a baby?" Ling Yu slowly calmed down. "Didn't I plan to charge the bracelet and go to rest, and then a lightning bolt flashed...... Am I ...... Crossed? Ling Yu thought calmly. Xiaoling, Mom and Dad, you should be very sad to know about my death, right? Ling Yu thought miserably.

"I'm a baby now, so how do I survive, this place seems a bit like the Yangtze River, there is no village in front of the village, there is no shop in the back, this is the rhythm of starvation."

"According to the passage of the novel I've read before, someone should come to adopt, right?" Ling Yu began to get nervous again.

Just thinking about it, a man slowly walked in the distance, and when he got closer, he saw that this person was dressed in dark clothes, looking like he was in his thirties, his posture was thin and straight, his steps were gentle, his sword eyebrows were starry, and his face was kind, which made people feel at ease when they saw it.

"Alas, if you don't settle today, baby, I don't think your parents want to abandon you, I passed by here today, that is, you and I are destined, so follow me in the future." The man picked up Ling Yu and said to himself lightly.

"This is the token left to you by your parents, or when you grow up, I will give it to you, and I may be able to find your biological parents in the future." The man looked at the bracelet hanging from Ling Yu's chest with a red rope, and at this time, the bracelet became dark gold, more like a golden bracelet.

"Well, the words engraved on the bracelet are your name, right? Ling Yu...... Hehe, it seems that you and I are really destined, my surname is Ling, my name is Ling Yuefeng, and you will be my disciple in the future. Ling Yuefeng looked at the name engraved on the bracelet and said as if talking to himself, of course he didn't know that Ling Yu could understand.

"This bracelet came with me, but Xiao Ling ...... "The bracelet is a couple model that Ling Yu bought with his wife Zhou Ling in his previous life, and both of them engraved their names on the back of the engraved bracelet, thinking of being separated from his wife forever, Ling Yu cried with anger.

"Hehe, Yu'er don't cry, I'll go and find food for you as a teacher." Ling Yuefeng said, and then hugged Ling Yu and walked towards the city in the distance.

Time flies, 8 years have passed in a blink of an eye, after Ling Yuefeng met Ling Yu, he took Ling Yu to settle in Lijia Village near Jinling City, during which Ling Yuefeng also taught Ling Yu to read and write, through this time, Ling Yu also understood the world.

This world is still the earth in general, but the history is not the same, the world was in chaos at the end of the Qin Dynasty, however, the result was that neither the King of Han nor the King of Xiang could become the final winner, and in the end, although it was also a surname Liu who unified the world, but it was not called the Han Dynasty, but the Great Heavenly Dynasty was established, and there were some things that Ling Yu was extremely familiar with.

For example, the unit of measurement is not the kind of measurement in ancient times, but those modern precision size units that Ling Yu was familiar with in his previous life, such as millimeters, centimeters, decimeters, meters, etc., and the units of weight have also become grams, catties, kilograms, tons, etc. The previous 12 hours were subdivided into 24 hours, and these customs are still practiced today.

Of course, there are some places that will not be detailed here, Ling Yu has always fully felt that this is a world that has been changed by the predecessors, but it has not changed the rise and fall of dynasties, the strange circle of dynasty changes, after a series of dynastic changes for more than a thousand years, today's Central Plains Dynasty is called the Great Zhou Empire, and the emperor is also surnamed Zhou, and the place where Ling Yuefeng settled with Ling Yu is the capital of the Great Zhou Empire, Jinling City Ying Tianfu, and the small village where Ling Yu lives is the boundary directly managed by Ying Tianfu, so it is very close to the Fu City, It is about 5 kilometers away from the nearest Yingtianfu City Gate.

Of course, the biggest difference in this world is that there is a special existence called spirit crystal and existence spirit master in this world, which can be regarded as a world with cultivators, and the wars of various countries have always had spirit masters involved, so whether a country's national strength is strong or not depends on the number of senior spirit masters in this country, and senior spirit masters can equip the army and improve the combat effectiveness of the army by making various spirit runes and spirit guides.

However, high-level spirit masters are not directly involved in battles, which is a bit like Ling Yu's weapons and equipment researcher in his previous life, who was responsible for researching and manufacturing weapons, and was also the ultimate power of various countries, but this world was still a world dominated by cold weapons.

Ling Yu knew that his master was a high-level spirit master, who belonged to the Great Zhou Empire's Royal Spirit Master Worship Hall. But the more specific Ling Yu didn't know. Anyway, the master didn't say it, and he has been taking him to live here in seclusion.

Eight years have passed, Ling Yu has also grown into a little boy with red lips and white teeth, but Ling Yu has always had a calmness that does not match his age, in the eyes of others, he is a very sensible little boy, that is, he is relatively deep, not like to play like children of the same age, often looking at the night sky alone in the yard, giving people a sad feeling, but no one knows why he is like this.

On this day, Ling Yu just followed his neighbor Li Tu back from Fucheng, Li Tu is a butcher in the village, specializing in killing pigs and selling meat, today he is going into the city to sell the pigs slaughtered in the morning, Ling Yu is following him into the city to buy some firewood, rice, oil and salt These daily necessities, which used to be handled by the master, now Ling Yu feels that he has grown up, the eight-year-old has grown up but has the strength of an eleven or twelve-year-old child, he thinks that he should also share a little life for the master, after all, the master raised him, if he hadn't met the master, he would have died, Since you can't do your filial piety for your relatives in your previous life, you have to do your filial piety for your master now.

A teacher for one day and a father for life, Ling Yu has regarded Ling Yuefeng as his father in this life, in fact, they are also like father and son, Ling Yu's sensibility, Ling Yuefeng is also very pleased.

"Uncle Li, thank you for taking care of me today, I'll go back." Ling Yu picked up the cloth bag full of the items he had purchased and said with a smile.

"Hey, Brother Yu, what's polite to your uncle, don't say that you and Ergouzi are like brothers, your uncle also watched you grow up, and in the eyes of your uncle, he also sees you as a nephew." Li Tu also replied with a smile.

The second dog in Ling Yu's mouth is Li Tu's son, of course, the second dog is a nickname, in the countryside, the child takes a cheap name to raise this is also an ancient Chinese custom, his big name is Li Shu, this is Li Tu asked Ling Yuefeng to help get the name, after all, the cultural level of the peasants is not high, this name is originally taken to be able to restrain themselves well, and learn literature and martial arts in the future.

Although Li Shu also learned with Ling Yuefeng when he taught Ling Yu to learn literature, Li Shu was half an adult after all, and he didn't have a thirty-year-old soul like Ling Yu, so he didn't learn very well, he could only say that he could read and understand words, but he didn't know it when he combined it. Li Tu also often sighed for a long time, and insisted on using a whip to drive Li Shu to study with Ling Yu. After all, this world must either be outstanding in reading or become a spiritual master, otherwise it will not be able to produce.
