In the city of Jinling, under the Dinghuai Gate.

Pedestrians come and go in a hurry, and cars and horses are bustling.

On the corner of the bustling street, a white-haired old man over seventy years old stood behind a table of eight immortals.

In his left hand he was holding a dilapidated folding fan, and in his right hand he was holding a white porcelain bowl with a missing corner.

In front of the table of the Eight Immortals, there were five or six lazy people who listened to books with their chests and breasts exposed, missing arms and legs, looking up at the old man's throat sliding up and down.

After drinking a bowl of rice wine, the old man dropped the broken bowl, folded the fan, and continued in a voice like pulling a bellows:

"Well, the King Kong caught up with Tang Seng and shouted: 'Those who learn the scriptures, follow me!' Tang Seng and his apprentices were light and healthy, fluttering, and ......rose with King Kong and drove the clouds."

Before he finished speaking, a slightly immature voice immediately dragged a long tone and lazily continued: "This is this: seeing the nature and knowing the heart to participate in the Buddha, and the achievement will soar when the work is completed." After all, I don't know how to teach back to the East, and listen—"

With this sound, the septuagenarian suddenly blushed with anger and his neck was thick, grabbed the broken porcelain bowl on the table and smashed it at the place where the voice came from, and scolded angrily: "The old mother of your turtle son——"

Five or six lazy men turned their heads, and behind them they saw a little beggar of sixteen or seventeen years old, with fluffy hair and a filthy smell, half-lying on the ground.

Holding a dry straw at the corner of his mouth, stilting his legs, he held the broken bowl smashed by the old man with both hands, licked the bottom of the bowl with his tongue, raised his head and said to the old man with a smile: "You old man, you are also stingy, the wine in the bowl has been drunk, and there is not a drop left for me." ”

When the old man saw that the little beggar was so shameless, he trembled with anger, picked up the willow stick beside the table, and rushed towards the little beggar quickly, and scolded at the same time:

"An uneducated bastard little thing, smashing people's jobs like killing parents, an old man has to knock you to death today. ”

When the little beggar saw that the old man was nimble and menacing, he threw the broken bowl away, got up from the ground at once, and ran away.

While running, he twisted his unkempt head and scolded back: "You old antique, this "Journey to the West" has been told a hundred and eighty times, and each time at the end, it is said that the omnipotent Sun Monkey died not long after he was defeated by the Buddha. If you dare to say this next time, I'm really going to smash your job-"

Hearing such a scolding, the old man's face turned even pale, and he chased after Yu Tang with his cheeks, scolding while chasing: "Ignorant child, that's what the ancient books say, how can the old man tamper with it?

After all, the old man is an old man, although his body is tough, how can he be as flexible as a little beggar, chasing a few steps, he is already out of breath and coughing.

Yu Tang ran to the other side of the street as soon as he slipped away, turned around and looked at the old man who was blowing his beard and staring, and suddenly smiled and bent over.

The old man was helpless, so he could only watch from a distance, and scolded angrily: "Little cub - cough cough - I want the old man to catch - cough - I have to kill your short-lived dog thing - cough cough cough - "

Hearing the old man's vicious curse, Yu Tang didn't mind, stuck out his tongue and grimaced.

The old man couldn't win when he saw the scolding, and he couldn't catch up with him, and he was even more provoked by Yu Tang at this moment, and he was already angry.

Gritting his teeth and stomping his feet, he picked up the four-foot-long willow stick in his hand and smashed it towards Yu Tang.

Not to mention, this old man seems to be dying, but his strength is quite big, and his head is not bad.

A willow stick swirled, crossed the heads of pedestrians passing by the street, and smashed straight at Yu Tang's head.

Although Yu Tang is young, he is smart.

Seeing that the willow stick was about to hit the door of the head, he only deflected the unkempt head, which could be dodged.

Then he quickly stretched out his right hand and caught it steadily.

The crutches are a bit heavy to start with, but they don't weigh as much as ordinary wood.

Flipping the crutch in his hand, Yu Tang saw that the old man was still blowing his beard and glaring, and shook it at him proudly.

Regardless of the old man's reaction, he turned around and poured into the bustling flow of people.

The old man looked at Yu Tang's thin body and disappeared in the blink of an eye, but his originally angry face gradually eased.

The corners of his mouth moved slightly, and he muttered in a voice that only he could hear: "Three thousand years, it's time for this stick to find its new owner, alas-"

Sighing slightly, the old man turned around tremblingly, returned to the table of eight immortals, and continued to talk about the last few episodes of "Journey to the West" in a bellows-like voice.

Yu Tang naturally didn't know what the old man muttered in a low voice, and followed the crowd towards the Jinchuan Gate in the northwest of the city with a crutch.

As a traverser, Yu Tang came to this world and possessed this young man's body for almost two years.

The original owner was an emaciated, fatherless and motherless orphan.

For traversers who don't have the standard configuration of the system, such a starting point is too low.

However, no matter how low the starting point is, as one of the five good young people of the 21st century, at the beginning of the crossing, Yu Tang was still ambitious, vowing to be reborn once and to become famous.

But where did he think that this world, which is very similar to the Tang and Song dynasties, is not at all in the historical category that he is familiar with.

According to the information revealed by the white-haired old man when he was talking, as well as the inquiries in the streets and alleys, Yu Tang was basically able to determine that after the destruction of the Tang Dynasty, there was a huge turning point in the historical process of this world.

Even the history of the Tang Dynasty is not the history that Yu Tang once learned in textbooks.

In this world, the Tang Dynasty was established for a thousand years, and finally died in the ten major feudal towns.

After the fall of the Tang Dynasty, the ten major feudal towns established states one after another, fought against each other, and all wanted to unify the Shenzhou continent.

But after a thousand years of conquest, Shenzhou not only failed to achieve great unification, but continued to divide, and finally became a chaotic situation of disputes among hundreds of countries, that is, the world that Yu Tang crossed over.

It has been more than 900 years since the dispute between a hundred countries.

In the past 900 years, I don't know how many large and small countries have died out just after they were established, and I don't know how many poor royal families have been beheaded.

After nearly 3,000 years of chaos, the wheel of history has not rolled forward, and the advanced civilization that should have appeared after a thousand years has not appeared as scheduled.

Even, the degree of civilization in this era is far less than that of the Tang Dynasty three thousand years ago.

Even life has become a luxury, and who would pursue civilization?

In comparison, the Dongjiang Kingdom, which has its capital Jinling and has been established for a hundred years and covers an area of nearly 500,000 square kilometers, is still stable and peaceful.

Jinling, the capital, has also become particularly prosperous and lively because of this rare tranquility.

Yu Tang, who is enthusiastic and full of ambition, has been mixed around Jinling City since he crossed over, and it has been two years now.

In the past two years, he has worked in no less than twenty or thirty occupations.

He joined the army, because the original owner was too thin, and he was almost trampled into a meatloaf by the majestic war horse during the exercise.

I worked as a bookkeeper, because I didn't even know a few traditional small seals, and I was fired after three or four days.

He worked as a mason, but he was so sleepy that he almost got buried as a stone in the wall when he dozed off.

worked as a junior in a wine shop, because the ground was slippery, and he almost cut off his little brother after knocking over the boy in the pants.

entered the grass stage team, because the guy's hand slipped in the same scene, and he was almost smashed in the chest by a hammer when he was playing a boulder in his chest.

............

In the end, Yu Tang discovered that he, a traveler who was more than a thousand years ahead of the consciousness of the people at the time, in such a chaotic world, let alone every second of the air, even surviving became a luxury.

In the end, the desperate Yu Tang had no choice but to live on the streets and become a little beggar begging for food, barely begging for a living, and saving a small life.

Not to mention, with the temperament of the monkey spirit in the year of the monkey, the monkey month, the monkey and the day of the monkey, since he became a beggar, Yu Tang's life has become colorful.

During the day, he went into Jinling City to beg for food, and at night he found a deserted temple or Taoist temple outside the city to rest.

When you are hungry, you will take a broken bowl and squat at the intersection of the road to ask for some leftover soup and water, and when you are thirsty, you will go to the Qinhuai River outside Jinling City to scoop a bowl of water and pour it.

If you are bored, you can also go to Dinghuai Gate to listen to the white-haired old man talk about the book, and go to Jinchuan Gate to watch juggling.

It's just that the white-haired old man under the Dinghuai Sect always talks about "Journey to the West" over and over again, and Yu Tang's ears are about to become calloused.

What made Yu Tang even more angry was that this ancient book, which had a plot and name similar to "Journey to the West", finally wrote to death the omnipotent Monkey King.

Such an ending is too TMD poisonous for Yu Tang, who was used to reading cool texts.

Therefore, whenever the white-haired old man is about to talk about the finale, Yu Tang always has to make trouble.

Then he estimated that the old man had finished the finale, and then secretly went to listen to him start over.

In today's trouble, Yu Tang made the old man angry enough that he decided not to go to Dinghuai to listen to books in the past two or three days.

Of course, this willow stick, he only waited for the old man's anger to subside, and then found an opportunity to secretly return it.

Thinking of this, Yu Tang, who was mixed in the crowd, couldn't help grinning, looked up at the sky, and found that the sun had already turned west.

The afterglow of autumn is warm and warm, and it is very comfortable to sprinkle on the body.

Yu Tang, who has touched the corners of Jinling City, is naturally saved, and this is the most lively time of the day near Jinchuan Gate, and it is also the golden moment for the juggling team to perform on stage.

Thinking of the thrilling juggling performance, Yu Tang's heart was itching.

No longer delayed, followed the flow of people all the way to Jinchuan Gate.
