Great Jin Kingdom, Tianyun Prefecture, Bei'an County Government.

It was a cold winter, everything was bleak, and the sky was gray and the sun could not be seen.

In the corner of a dilapidated alleyway on the outskirts of the eastern part of the city, several fierce-looking men in dirty leather jackets are punching and kicking a teenager.

In a nearby corner, several beggars, young and old, covered themselves with tattered straw mats, pretending that nothing had happened.

The muffled sound of fist-to-flesh "bang" echoed in the alley, accompanied by foul language and wheezing.

The beaten boy raised his arms to firmly protect the back of his head and cheeks, and at the same time curled his abdomen sideways to prevent the heart and chest from being hit by the soft abdomen and other vital parts, he gritted his teeth, and only occasionally squeezed out a soft cry or two from between his teeth.

After fighting for a while, these men were also a little tired.

They are just ruffians in the outskirts of the city, and they have not practiced martial arts, so their physical fitness is naturally not very good.

However, if these guys were those warriors with strong blood and thick skin, I am afraid that the young man would have been beaten to death long ago.

"Whew..."

"Damn, I'm tired of Lao Tzu!"

Among these ruffians, the leader was a short, narrow-faced, squinting-eyed man.

He was the first to stop his movements and spat hard.

Several other people also stopped moving, and their fierce expressions were somewhat relaxed.

"What a!"

"Isn't it just a few copper dollars, can you commit it?"

"Let's go!"

The narrow-faced man scolded angrily, waving his hand to beckon his brothers to leave.

Before leaving, he didn't forget to make up for the young man's back.

The boy remained motionless, like a dead piece of rotten wood.

……

The cold wind blew from the end of the alley to the end of the alley, and the footsteps of a few ruffians faded away.

The curled boy finally moved, and he sat up slowly, his arms holding his head trembling uncontrollably.

After the numbness, severe pain comes from the back, buttocks, legs, shoulder blades, etc...

The young man was unkempt, but with an indifferent look, he slowly lowered his trembling arms, released his palms, and several copper coins with gray-black pulp were hot in his hands.

After seeing those copper yuan, the beggars who had nothing to do with themselves opened their straw mats one after another and looked at the young man with greedy eyes.

At this time, the boy turned his head calmly, grinned at the hesitant beggars, showed a mouthful of blood-stained teeth, and smiled coldly.

Faced with such a smile, the beggars hesitated.

A moment later, the gong sounded outside the alley, and the patrol team with a killing stick indifferently walked through the alley, so that the beggars did not dare to act rashly.

By the time the patrol had passed, the boy had staggered away from the other side of the alley with a stick.

……

Early the next morning.

Zhaizhai area, remote ditch stream.

The boy was sitting under the stone bridge, constantly picking up a handful of water to wash the blood and ash stains from his face.

Those copper dollars had been exchanged for a dozen gray cakes by him.

This kind of multigrain cake has a coarse taste and is considered the cheapest kind of food.

After a little washing, the boy picked up the ash cake and ate it in the cold water.

There was a small fire beside him that was almost burning, and the residual heat of the charcoal fire was barely enough to bring him some warmth.

The boy's name is Zong Xian, and it's been almost a month since he crossed over.

The predecessor has the same name and surname as him, and he just turned 14 years old this year, and he is a beggar whose parents died in troubled times.

Through this period of understanding, Zong Xian knew that this world was not peaceful.

There are bandits and bandits, and fierce beasts are often infested.

Coupled with the internal and external troubles of the Great Jin Kingdom, the life of ordinary people is extremely difficult.

The urban and suburban walled areas are controlled and divided by various gang forces, and all they eat are steamed buns with human blood.

In addition, there are also major local wealthy families and the government in the inner city, colluding up and controlling, and there are a lot of filthy.

However, what Zong Xian cares about the most is the martial arts of this world.

He had seen warriors in strong suits with his own eyes, breaking a locust tree as thick as a sea bowl with his bare hands, and even the eaves and stone walls in the city had stepping stones for warriors to fly to the walls.

There are more than 10 martial arts halls in the county government, and as long as you pay a certain amount of tuition, you can enter the martial arts hall and learn the corresponding martial arts.

These days, Zong Xian has also secretly inquired that the martial arts hall with the cheapest tuition costs fifty taels of silver every year.

The martial arts hall does not include food, but will provide the decoction needed for the introduction of body forging.

If you include the food expenses, it will cost at least a hundred taels of silver every year.

And in the Great Jin Dynasty, one hundred copper dollars can be exchanged for one or two silver!

Zong Xian naturally understands that practicing martial arts in troubled times is a good way out for self-preservation, but don't say a hundred taels of silver, as a beggar, he can't take out even half a tael of silver, and he has been worrying about his stomach every day for the past month.

He has eaten scraps and been bullied and beaten by gangs.

On weekdays, he is often stared at and scolded.

As soon as the world was in chaos, there were more and more homeless beggars.

The beggars in Bei'an County Government are synonymous with lowliness, and everyone can come and step on them and scold a few words.

The ruffians just now wanted to snatch the copper dollars he had begged for so hard.

In the past, those beggars faced the ruffians and hooligans, and they all offered them with a smile, not daring to show any dissatisfaction, who would have thought that there would be such an iron-headed guy as Zong Xian.

Because Zong Xian hasn't eaten enough for several days, and the weather is getting colder and colder, even if he doesn't get killed like this, he will starve to death sooner or later!

It is precisely because the world is so difficult and dangerous that Zong Xian's temperament has been sharpened in these days.

After eating a piece of gray cake, the real feeling in my stomach relieved the bruise and pain on my body a little.

Zong Xian wrapped the remaining gray cake in a large palm leaf, carefully hid it in the gap under the bridge hole, and then leaned on with his own body.

"Speaking of which, it's almost time for the countdown to end..."

He suddenly showed a look of abruptness.

In the past month, the suffering time almost made Zong Xian forget the little assistant of the "pit father" who came with him!

Thinking of this, he hurriedly called out in his heart.

"Mysterious chance?"

As he called, lines of pale gold letters appeared in his consciousness.

【Mysterious Chance】

[Current Opportunity Range: 30 miles]

[Countdown to chance analysis: 0 day 0:27:39]

……

Seeing that the countdown to killing a thousand knives is finally about to go to zero, Zong Xian is also a spirit!

As a human being in two lives, he naturally understands that this so-called [mysterious chance] is the "golden finger" that accompanies him to cross over.

It's just that this "golden finger" is too fucked, and the beginning is a long countdown of up to a month, if he wasn't originally a tenacious and adaptable person, maybe he really wouldn't be able to survive.

Now his hard life may be coming to an end!

At the moment, he had no other choice, and he naturally had expectations for it in his heart.

More than twenty minutes passed quickly.

Zong Xian stared at the countdown almost minute by minute.

When it was completely zeroed, the message of the golden subtitles also changed.

[The analysis of the current opportunity has been completed]

[Mysterious chance: There is a hundred-year-old strong pill hidden on the beam of the broken temple hall in the western suburbs of Hetuo Village, and you can get the power of three bulls and one tiger if you take it]

……

See here.

Zong Xian's clenched hands shook unconsciously!

"It's finally here!"
