Chapter 1: Strangers in a Foreign Land
In the lush primeval forest, a man who is out of place is lying. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
No one knew how he got here, only that his eyelids began to flutter and he woke up.
"That's not right!" the man jerked his saber out of his trousers, standing up and guarding his surroundings.
From being dazed to completely sobering up, he has always maintained a vigilant posture, carefully observing everything in this forest, and finally came to a conclusion that he had indeed crossed over.
"Damn, it's really crossed! This world is really sinister, fortunately, I was prepared!" The man said indignantly, and then patted the survival backpack on his back.
"Alas...... I didn't bring the sword, and I lost a lot! Really, I said that in the woman's opinion, my mother always refused to let me sleep with the knife, which is a good ......" The man couldn't help but complain after gesturing the dagger-sized saber in his hand.
He is a survivalist, always worried about the end times and the sudden arrival of the time, so he is constantly preparing for this day. It's just that what I didn't expect was that after five years of preparation, I really encountered this kind of thing.
"You have to figure out where I am...... However, judging from the vegetation situation, I'm afraid that it won't be a future world, as long as it's not a wilderness, or a primitive era, these things are not a big deal at all. The man grumbled as he climbed the tallest tree nearby.
Climbing, that must be learned, whether it is in the concrete forest in the city, or in the cliffs, or in the jungle now, as a survival freak does not learn to climb, that is an unqualified survival freak.
He had noticed in the trees that there were no other animals, perhaps scared away. Of course, there were no poisonous snakes or anything like that, which made him breathe a sigh of relief, after all, there was no such thing as a serum. But he didn't relax, and he had to guard against the protective animal.
Fortunately, there was no danger, and at the top of the canopy, he looked around. It's just a pity that there are lush trees all around, and you can't see anything at all. Not to mention human civilization, even the exit of the forest is not known.
Suddenly, he seemed to see a figure passing by in the jungle, and immediately shouted: "People over there, wait!"
Unfortunately, the figure flashed through the woods, and he didn't know where it went. In desperation, I could only return to the ground first, and then where to go, but I was very confused.
He thought that he could accept the fact of crossing over calmly, but in fact, he felt that he did not at the moment. Coming to this unfamiliar environment, his sense of loneliness and confusion is much stronger than the previous wild survival activities.
The vegetation in front of him suddenly shook, and he had seen similar movies before and knew that it was a phenomenon of a large creature approaching rapidly. I couldn't help but quickly climb onto the trunk of the tree to avoid being attacked by large carnivores.
But he didn't want the other party to pull it down to the ground faster, and then an embroidered spring knife was put on his neck.
"Embroidered Spring Knife?Slow, are you Jinyiwei?!" the man looked at the person behind him suspiciously, and raised his hands high.
"Who are you, you don't look like a monk or a Taoist priest, and you don't look like a tartar in the north...... Also, why did you tie me up here!?" the brocade guard asked, bringing the knife closer, in a somewhat threatening tone.
"Wait, you're here all of a sudden? Are you sure you're not acting...... Which emperor of the Ming Dynasty are you?" the survival freak asked tentatively, and when he was sure that the other party was serious, he couldn't help but ask further. He was almost sure that the latter was indeed Jinyiwei from Daming, not an extra.
Not to mention anything else, that kind of murderous atmosphere is not something that any actor can have.
"Answer my question first!" the brocade guard didn't buy it, and threatened directly. The survival freak could tell that this brocade guard was also panicking because he suddenly appeared in this ghost place.
"Got it! My name is Chu Mad and I come from 2016 AD, which is the future of six or seven hundred years after the founding of the Ming Dynasty. If we are not mistaken, we should have been sent to this ghost place suddenly, right?" Chu Yan said slowly.
"Do you think I'll believe your nonsense?" Jin Yiwei obviously didn't agree with such an answer.
"Think about it, we can suddenly come to this ghost place where we originally stayed! I, a person from the future, can see you hundreds of years ago, so what's so strange about you, an ancient person, seeing me, a person from the future from a few hundred years later?" Chu Mad roared directly, he knew that only by roaring at this time could he make the other party believe in himself.
"Believe me...... Jin Yiwei obviously didn't know how to explain the situation, and after saying this, he directly took back the embroidered spring knife that was on Chu Yan's neck.
"Speaking of which, Jin Yiwei's eldest brother's surname, which emperor of the Ming Dynasty is serving?" Chu Mad asked curiously.
"Why should I tell you?" Jin Yiwei glared at him, not intending to answer the question.
"I am a fallen person at the end of the world, you and I are in the same situation, what can we do except mutual assistance? Since we want to help each other, we must also have some basic trust, right? I have told you my name and origin, and I will satisfy my curiosity a little!" Chu Mad said unrelentingly.
"Well...... I am under the rule of Emperor Yongle, and Liu Xing of the Ming Dynasty Jinyi Wei Baihu. On the orders of His Majesty, he escorted Zheng and Zheng Gonggong to the West. But I didn't want to come to this deep mountain and old forest overnight. Maybe it's a compromise, Jin Yiwei said slowly. When it came to the Yongle Emperor, he also bowed slightly towards the north, at least the place he thought was the north.
"It turned out to be someone from Zhu Di's era...... Chu Mad couldn't help muttering.
"Bold! Dare to call His Majesty's name!" Liu Xing got up and drew his sword, seeing that he was about to kill Chu Mad on the spot.
"Hugh angry! Calm down, calm down! The emperor of our time is long gone, and the Ming Dynasty has been dead for more than 300 years, Zhu ...... I mean Emperor Yongle, he just appears in our textbooks, and there are more people who call him by his name, do you still want to kill them one by one" Chu Yan signaled Liu Xing to calm down, and then shrugged his shoulders and said.
"Da Ming is dead!?" Liu Xing was shocked, obviously unable to believe this fact.
"I'll talk about the merits later, and if I really want to say it, it's really endless. What we should be thinking about at this stage is how to survive in this forest and find a way out, right? Before that, let's form an alliance for the time being, right?" Chu Mad appeased again, and then proposed.
"Okay, it's really weird and inexplicable here, and listen to you!But if you let me know, you dare to slander and curse me Daming, don't blame me for being rude!" Liu Xing thought about it and agreed.
"Who is afraid of whom? But at this stage, we have to look everywhere, since there can be two of us, who can guarantee that there will not be more people in this ghost place?" Chu Mad saw that the covenant had been reached, and directly proposed.
"That's a good idea...... Liu Xing thought about it, and agreed to the proposal.
Along the way, the matter of opening the road was handed over to Liu Xing, and the embroidered spring knife in his hand fell and fell, and a large area of vegetation was cut down, and a road that allowed two people to walk side by side was opened up.
"Lao Liu, your embroidered spring knife is really sharp!" Chu Maan, who was watching him open the way from behind, couldn't help but ask.
"The embroidered spring knife is a gift from the emperor, and it is the glory of our brocade guards, how can I fool the past with those shoddy things? Besides, I don't just use the blade to cut through those plants and trees, and there is an internal force attached to it. Liu Xing said angrily.
"Internal strength, that is to say, Lao Liu, you still know how to practice qi?" Chu Qi suddenly became excited.
"It's just a superficial internal strength, not at all elegant, there are many cheats in the palace, it's a pity that I'm just a hundred, and it's good to be able to learn this superficial internal strength...... Also, don't call me Lao Liu, am I very familiar with you?" Liu Xing felt disdain for Chu Mad's rarity and strangeness, and at the same time complained a little about the way 'Lao Liu' was called.
"If you don't know it now, you will always be familiar with it in the future, and sooner or later it's just a problem...... Don't you know, in our era, martial arts were all used for performances, they looked good but had no power, and the internal strength was lost, leaving only the so-called qigong that was used to swagger and deceive, that is, the hard qigong in the army was a bit of a sight. Chu Mad couldn't help but complain.
"You should just be a Dousheng min, right?" but he didn't want Liu Xing to ask suddenly.
"I've just graduated from college and I'm looking for a job in the near future. Chu Mad was a little shy, after all, he was actually just an old otaku at the moment.
"So you don't understand...... Although I don't understand your time, why there is no emperor. But I know that there is something like this, but I can't wait for these small people to come into contact with it, otherwise the world will not be in chaos? Not to mention anything else, those so-called chivalrous people who come and go high in the Ming Dynasty have already made me tired of coping. Liu Xing said with some feelings.
Chu Mad was also speechless, so he fell silent. Liu Xing didn't like to talk very much, but seeing that Chu Mad didn't provoke the conversation, he naturally kept silent.
"Someone doesn't have it, help!" After a while, the two heard the voice of a cry for help, and at least three of them were calling for help.
"Let's take a look!" said the two of them almost at the same time, and then hurried towards the voice.
In the distance, the two saw a cheetah, constantly pounced on a straight tree. Above the tree, three humans clung to the trunk, but it looked like they couldn't hold on for long.
"A leopard is actually scared like this!" Liu Xing was a Jinyi guard, and when he saw this, he was not afraid at all, and directly raised his knife to kill the leopard.
Chu Mad next to him also quickly put down his backpack and took out a bag of parts to assemble it.
said that the leopard, seeing that Liu Xing took the initiative to send it to the door, directly abandoned the three people on the tree and pounced on him. But I don't want Liu Xing not only to have internal strength, but also to be quite good at footwork. It was just a simple shallow footwork of shifting and transposing, but it also quickly avoided the leopard's attack.
However, the leopard's speed is not slow, and it is constantly pursuing. Between chasing and dodging, Liu Xing realized that the speed and strength of this leopard were very terrifying, completely different from what he had seen killed before.
At this moment, a crossbow flew and shot directly at the leopard's neck. The leopard suffered from pain, and its body temporarily entered a state of stiffness. How could Liu Xing miss this opportunity, quickly drew his knife and collected it, and the leopard's head was divided like this.
Looking at Chu Yan's side again, he saw that at this moment, he already had a crossbow in his hand.
"Well done!" Liu Xing couldn't help but admire this man who kept surprising him.
"You're not bad!" Chu Mad also smiled and gestured his thumb to Liu Xing.
