Chapter 1: The Pearl of All Worlds
Autumn 1914, Shanghai. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The noisy noise in his ears, as well as the old buildings on both sides of the street, made Xia Yang frightened and at the same time, he also had a sense of time and space confusion. Just a minute ago, he woke up from his rental house, hurriedly washed up and prepared to go to work, but the next second he stepped out of the door, he appeared in a dark alley as dilapidated as an unfinished building.
"Where is this?" Standing at the entrance of the alley, Xia Yang looked around dumbfounded. What he saw was a very different scene from the modern society in which he lived!
The retro buildings that combine Chinese and Western, the old and narrow streets, the bustling crowds, and the vendors shouting loudly, each of them are talking about the world, the sea and the north, almost all of which he does not understand. The pedestrians are also dressed distinctly, the men are wearing robes and coats that he has never seen in real life, wearing a melon skin hat, a few people are wearing suits, stepping on leather shoes, holding civilized sticks, more Western, at first glance it is the rich class. Most of the women wear loose skirts and cheongsam, while most of the poor wear clothes and shoes made of coarse cloth, with patches on them, messy hair, a hungry yellow face, and long braids on the back of their heads.
"Did I not wake up, or was I sick, or did I encounter a supernatural event?" Xia Yang lost his soul and muttered to himself unconsciously.
Just as he was in a panic, a piece of information suddenly came into his mind, and the next moment, he instantly understood the reason why he was here. It turned out that all of this was caused by the blood-red jade he picked up last night.
It's not so much a jade as a jade bead. The jade was about the size of a ping-pong ball, and the whole was irregularly rounded, and it was obvious from the appearance that it was originally a bead, but I don't know what caused it to break and become its current appearance, and now it is living in his sea of consciousness.
This blood-colored jade bead with cracks, called the Ten Thousand Worlds Pearl, was picked up at the gate of the community when he went home last night. I thought it was just a worthless handicraft that was broken by someone, but I picked it up out of pity. Unexpectedly, this broken blood bead actually had the ability to cross the plane and cross the heavens and all worlds.
Suppressing the frightened feeling in his heart, Xia Yang pinched his thigh fiercely, and after making sure that he was not dreaming, he took a deep breath and shook his head vigorously. He needed to clear his mind and calm down quickly from his panic before he could accept what was going against his previous worldview.
A moment ago, he was just a 9-to-5 office worker, ordinary and indistinguishable from the rest of the world. If there is no accident, if you get married and have children in the future, this life will be an ordinary past. However, the appearance of the Ten Thousand World Beads undoubtedly changed his fate dramatically. Let him have a future, full of infinite possibilities, how can this make his mood not complicated?
After calming down his ups and downs, and immersing his thoughts in that piece of information, he knew that the plane he had crossed was the world of the movie "Jingwu Heroes".
The hero Huo Yuanjia was killed by the Japanese. ”
Jingwumen Huo Yuanjia was defeated miserably and vomited blood in the ring and died!"
Huo Yuanjia was defeated by the Japanese and was killed on the spot during the competition!"
Just when Xia Yang had just figured out the general situation, several newsboys not far away, shouting past him in a Shanghainese dialect that sounded a little strange to him, and the content shouted out of his mouth caused an uproar all around.
"Is this the beginning of the plot?"
Xia Yang pricked up his ears, and probably heard the news that Huo Yuanjia was killed by the Japanese from the discussion of various accents of the passers-by around him.
"Sir, can you lend me your newspaper?"
He remembered very well that the plot of this movie began with Huo Yuanjia's death. Afraid that he would make a mistake, he hurriedly grabbed a middle-aged man who was reading the newspaper on the side of the road.
The man was reading the newspaper intently, and was interrupted, and he was about to scold him in indignation, but when he looked back, it was a very strange-looking young man in Western clothes and carrying a briefcase, and his face couldn't help but show surprise.
Seeing that the man didn't speak, Xia Yang thought that the other party didn't hear his words clearly, and then repeated it again. He didn't realize that what he was wearing at this time, although it was just a cheap suit and leather shoes that were very common in modern times, was very different from the current Western clothing in terms of style and style. In addition, at this time, the Chinese people are suffering from the poison of the great powers, and this Shanghai beach is full of people of three religions and nine streams, even ordinary people will remain vigilant, not to mention people like him, who are out of step with the times and are full of weirdness.
"Do you want to see this newspaper?" Seeing that Xia Yang didn't have any malicious intentions, he just wanted to see his newspaper, so the middle-aged man took off his vigilance and handed him the newspaper in his hand.
After taking the newspaper, he saw that it was full of traditional characters, and the typesetting format was also a habit of reading vertically. It took a lot of effort to get used to it. After reading the full text quickly, the content reported above is indeed the news that Huo Yuanjia, the Jingwumen, competed in the ring with the Japanese yesterday and vomited blood to death.
"It seems that I have really traveled into the world of cinema. ”
Dispelling the last trace of reality in his heart, Xia Yang returned the newspaper to the middle-aged man with dull eyes, and at the same time his mind was complicated, his mind was also at a loss. At the same time, his mind began to churn, this is a God-given opportunity, whether he can change his fate depends on whether he can grasp this opportunity!
Secretly made up his mind, his mind slowly calmed down, and he began to think about the content of the whole movie, as well as his next plans.
As a kung fu enthusiast, Xia Yang has watched the movie "Jingwu Hero" many times, and he remembers the plot very clearly. In fact, most of the plots of this movie are fictional, although the protagonist Chen Zhen is indeed a person, but it is not as described in the film and television drama, and in history, Huo Yuanjia created not Jingwumen, but Jingwu Sports Association, and his son is not called Huo Tingen.
In real history, when Huo Yuanjia died, the Qing Dynasty had not yet fallen. In the timeline of the movie, it is different from real history, at this time Yuan Shikai is dead, the Republic of China has been established, World War I has broken out, Japan has now declared war on Germany, and the two sides are fighting in Shandong, the territory of China.
"Although the current situation in the country is very chaotic, in a short period of time, as long as I keep a low profile, there should still be no danger to my life. After analyzing the current background, Xia Yang settled down a little. When he came back to his senses, he found that many people around him were looking at him with strange eyes.
Soon he realized that his dress was very different from that of the current era, and the gap between the rich and the poor was especially obvious in this era, and if he had been wandering around the street unscrupulously, he might even be arrested. In order not to attract attention, he pretended to be indifferent, turned around and walked towards the uninhabited alley that he had just walked out of.
When he came to the depths of the alley, he carefully observed it, and made sure that no one was following him behind him, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and checked the items on his body.
In his handbag, there are some paper materials of the company, in addition, he only has a mobile phone, keys and a wallet, and he also wears a mechanical watch bought for 500 yuan on his wrist. Looking at these things, Xia Yang couldn't help but hesitate a little, could it be that he had to throw them all away?
The briefcase is nothing, and there is nothing to care about if you throw it away, and the mobile phone, as well as the hundreds of yuan soft girl coins in the wallet, as well as the ID card and bank card, must not be seen by others, otherwise he will not be able to explain the origin of these things at all.
Just as he was wondering whether to find a place to throw away these things, he suddenly thought about whether he would have a storage space similar to the one in the novel. I thought silently in my heart for a while, and then I was pleasantly surprised to find that there was indeed such a space in the Ten Thousand Worlds Bead, and the functions and usage methods were immediately understood.
Excited, Xia Yang couldn't help but grin, this Ten Thousand Worlds Bead is really an artifact against the sky! Not to mention the ability to shuttle through the heavens, just in this space, he can access any item anytime and anywhere, it is definitely a must-have for home travel, killing people and setting fires.
After putting the key to his mobile phone wallet and the information in the bag into the space, only an empty bag remained, he straightened the clothes on his body, took a deep breath, and walked out of the alley.
