Chapter 2 The Galloping Bronze Horse

In the fifteenth year of Tianze, the southwest border of Yunzhou in Zhenyuan State.

Under the cold moonlight, a horse-drawn carriage whizz down an overgrown country road, flanked by tall grass, spreading into the silent wilderness in the distance, and the blazing village in the rear.

"How's he doing?" An uncle-like man glanced at the unconscious teenager who was leaning on the back seat of the carriage.

The young man sitting next to the boy bandaged the bleeding wound on his abdomen with the sackcloth torn from the corner of his clothes, then turned his head to the old man and replied, "He is seriously injured, I'm afraid he ......."

The old man's head turned to the other side and asked the coachman outside, "Shicheng, how long will it take to reach the Great Wall of the Border?" ”

"It won't take more than half an hour." The person outside the car replied.

The elder looked at the injured and unconscious boy again, and muttered, "I hope he can get through it, and he won't be able to die before he arrives in Jingzhou." ”

Suddenly, a ball of lightning struck out of thin air, hitting the young man's chest, and the young man's body twitched.

The creature USB flash drive wrapped in lightning entered his body, Xiao Chen's consciousness was awakened, and slowly Xiao Chen opened his eyes, at the same time, the host's living memories were gradually covered by his consciousness, and in a memory turbulence, he only grabbed a few key pieces of information.

Now his name is Lu Shaoyun, he is twenty years old, lives in Baolin Village, and has just passed the triennial state examination not long ago, and is about to enter the imperial capital of Zhenyuan State-Jingzhou Junyang City to participate in the national examination.

Xiao Chen thought to himself, this start is okay, and the host qualification is not bad, although this world is a little different from what he thought, but after the explanation of the person on the other side of time and space, he should have traveled to the ancient parallel world, since it is a parallel world, it should not be much different.

From now on, I will be Lu Shaoyun, and a person as good as me must have a lot to do.

As he was thinking, he suddenly noticed three pairs of eyes staring at him, an old man, a young man, and a young woman, all of whom looked at him with a hint of surprise.

"A bolt of lightning didn't kill you, but saved you, which is also magical." The young man sitting to his right was amazed.

The older man on the right didn't say much, and said emotionlessly, "It's okay." ”

The woman on the left withdrew her gaze and remained silent, exuding a cold aura all over her body.

Suddenly, the carriage was bumpy, Lu Shaoyun didn't sit firmly, and fell directly on the woman's legs, Lu Shaoyun raised his head on one side, his vision was blocked by two things, so he had to move outward, and then got up, only then did he see her appearance clearly, her face was good, her figure was staggered, cold and abnormal, and what attracted people's attention was that she was wearing a silver ponytail, which was really a bit ahead of the times.

Although the time spent lying on her lap was very short, Lu Shaoyun could feel the full killing intent from her gaze.

Frightened, Lu Shaoyun hurriedly explained: "Accident, pure accident, what's going on with this carriage, can't it be slowed down?" ”

As he spoke, he got up and bent down and took a few steps forward, lifting the curtain, and the scene in front of him shocked him a little.

Under the background of the moonlight, the galloping horse shimmered with metallic luster, and the limbs were driven by mechanical gears, he fixed his eyes to see what kind of horse this is, this is clearly a mechanical horse, from the material is bronze, if he didn't see it with his own eyes, he thought it was the bronze antique in his impression that was resurrected, which reminded him of a very old movie, as if it was called "Wonderful Night at the Museum".

Lu Shaoyun returned to his seat, his expression was a little dazed, and then he said slowly: "What kind of era is this?" ”

"Looks like this lightning has side effects." The young man next to him whispered to the older man.

"It's really not a good time." The elder actually took Lu Shaoyun's words, and then said, "I think this is also the reason why you entered the imperial capital and participated in the national examination, do you want to enter the official career and show your ambitions?" ”

"Huh? Possibly. Lu Shaoyun replied perfunctorily, and then asked, "By the way, I haven't asked for a name yet." ”

The young man next to him opened his mouth first: "My name is Zhong Ming, this is our master Xuanchen, this is our senior sister Shangguan Xiao, and the one outside is my senior brother Zhao Shicheng." ”

"Fortunately, in Xialu Shaoyun."

Lu Shaoyun pretended to imitate the speaking style of the ancients, although he learned it from TV, and he didn't know if the real situation of the ancients was like this, but thinking of the outfit in front of him that was beyond the times, and the bronze mechanical horse galloping outside, the gap between himself and this era should not be too big.

"We all know that."

Zhong Ming wanted to add something, but was stopped by Xuan Chen's look, and he quickly realized that he had talked too much, so he smiled awkwardly and was silent.

"So, what do you have to do with me?" Lu Shaoyun pointed at himself, and then pointed at the other party.

"Maybe I was stupid by lightning." Zhong Ming muttered quietly.

"We are here to escort you to the imperial capital to participate in the national examination, this is to Jingzhou, the road is far away, I am afraid of danger." Xuanchen explained.

Lu Shaoyun wondered if he was just an ordinary countryman, worthy of such a big battle? Thinking about it for a while, he felt that something was wrong, he lifted the curtain on one side of the car and looked out, the tall grass on the side of the road was gradually moving away, and he looked behind him to the right, and the only village fire gradually dimmed, and gradually was burned by the fire.

Lu Shaoyun chuckled in his heart, is that his home?

"Don't probe, there's danger approaching!" Lu Shaoyun was suddenly dragged back into the car by Zhong Ming.

Lu Shaoyun didn't know why, but found that the three of them had solemn faces, Shangguan Xiao took off the pendant on his chest that looked like a wolf's tooth, his lips opened lightly, and his mouth seemed to recite a spell, and in an instant, the pendant began to deform, and the delicate and small mechanical parts inside were recombined, and gradually extended outward, and finally became bigger and bigger, and turned into a long knife that was worthy of his hand.

Lu Shaoyun was stunned and stunned for a long time.

He wanted to ask the reason, but he heard a terrible and terrible cry not far away, like some kind of beast, but Lu Shaoyun couldn't think of any beast that could match this strange sound.

The carriage slowed down, but kept going.

At this time, Shangguan Xiao had already walked outside the car with a long knife in his hand, and only dropped a sentence: "Don't come out." Then he grabbed the front end of the roof with his other hand, rolled over and jumped up, landing firmly on the roof.

The tall grass not far to the right swayed, swaying, getting closer and closer, as if something was approaching, and there were quite a few of them, and behind them were bent weeds, leaving many winding traces.

Shangguan Xiao held his breath and concentrated, his left arm and elbow were bent to his chest, and the knife in his right hand slowly slashed through the wrist armor of his left wrist, opening the knife for the blade, and the metal friction made a Sisi sound, which was clearly audible in the silent night, and a battle was quietly coming.
