Chapter 846 Is it finally my turn?
Looking south to Buzhou, there are sixteen major kingdoms with 84,000 cities.
In a certain county near the sea, a famous troupe was performing tricks.
Among the crowd of onlookers, an old man was sitting on a wooden chair. He was none other than Mr. Pan, the magistrate of this county.
Mr. Pan is old and has no relationship with the DPRK, so he has long given up on promotion. He likes to listen to music and watch operas on weekdays. Naturally, he will not miss such a famous troupe when they tour.
Seeing a strange father and son walking out of the stage, Mr. Pan called to the troupe leader next to him and asked with interest: "I have long heard that in your troupe Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, there is a father and son who can reverse the seasons and take advantage of the situation in the spring. Tao, get ice in summer, but are they?"
The old troupe leader smiled and replied: "Exactly!"
Master Pan became interested: "What a coincidence, it's spring now, why not let them get a peach for the county to try?"
The old class leader immediately agreed with a smile.
He strode onto the stage and repeated Master Pan's request in the ears of father and son.
After listening, the father's expression changed and he said a few words in embarrassment.
After hearing this, the old class leader looked solemn, said a few words loudly, and then returned to Master Pan.
Master Pan asked curiously: "What did he just tell you?"
The old team leader smiled bitterly and said: "When I went back to the county magistrate, he said that the ice has not yet melted, so how could we find peaches..."
"Oh?" Mr. Pan frowned and said disappointedly, "Then he doesn't agree?"
The old class leader changed the subject and said with a smile: "County Prince, don't worry, we can't find peaches in the world, but there must be some in the Queen Mother's peach garden. If the County Prince wants to eat them, he can only go to heaven." I’m going to steal one for you!”
"oh?"
Master Pan's eyes lit up and he immediately became interested.
The old leader smiled and turned around, waving to the man. The man arched his hand and took out a ball of rope from the bamboo box, about dozens of feet long.
He threw one end of the rope into the air, and it actually hung in the air.
The onlookers were in an uproar, and Mr. Pan also sat up straight, looking at the rope in surprise.
I saw the rope hanging high in the sky, rising higher and higher, and finally rose to the clouds, blocked by the thick clouds.
Amidst the shouts of surprise, the man rubbed his arms, turned to look at the young man beside him and said: "I have old arms and legs. I'm afraid it will be dangerous to climb this rope, so why don't you come and walk for me?" Let’s go!”
The young man looked very embarrassed and said that the rope was too thin. If the rope broke midway, wouldn't his life be saved?
The father and son sang together, which made Mr. Pan very proud. He threatened to reward them with fifty taels of silver as long as they got the peaches.
The young man also showed joy, quickly thanked Master Pan, and then grabbed the rope and climbed up.
Not long after, the young man's figure disappeared into the clouds.
Everyone raised their necks, stared at the sky with wide eyes.
After a while, a peach as big as a bowl fell from the sky.
The juggler quickly caught the peach and happily gave it to Master Pan.
Master Pan looked at the peach in front of him in surprise. Before he could speak, the rope in the sky suddenly fell down.
The man's expression changed and he said in panic: "Oh no, the guards of Pantaoyuan must have discovered it!"
Before he finished speaking, a bloody head fell from the sky. The man quickly picked up the head and took a closer look. Sure enough, it was the young man.
He held his head and cried loudly. Master Pan was also shocked. He didn't care whether the peach was real or fake, and stood up in shock.
At this moment, the boy's arms, legs and torso fell from the sky, and he was cut into pieces.
The man picked up the various parts of the boy one by one and put them into the bamboo box. Then he knelt down in grief in front of Mr. Pan and said: "My son was killed in order to steal peaches for Mr. Pan. I beg you to have mercy on this poor little man. Give me some money to take care of the funeral arrangements!"
After hearing this, Master Pan didn't think much about it, and quickly asked someone to take out gold and silver and reward him.
The man accepted the reward, stood up with a smile, patted the bamboo box and said, "My son, why don't you come out quickly and thank the county magistrate for the reward?"
With that said, the lid of the bamboo box was pushed open, and the boy who was in a state of disarray just now appeared intact and thanked Mr. Pan.
Seeing this scene, Mr. Pan was shocked. Fortunately, he had seen many tricks. Seeing this, he did not feel that he was cheated. Instead, he took the lead in clapping and applauding loudly.
There was thunderous applause. The father and son thanked their fellow villagers with a smile and then left the stage.
Arriving backstage, the young man sat back on a wicker chair and let out a long breath.
"Uncle Zhang, you used to end up hiding in a bamboo box. Why did you ask me to come out to say thank you this time?"
Uncle Zhang, who plays the father, packed the rattan box and said with a smile: "Xiao Du, in our industry, you have to know how to adapt to changes and watch what others do!"
"Mr. Pan has a good personality and likes magic. He will not regard magic as a crime of deception. He may invite our troupe to come back to perform in the future. Naturally, he cannot make the most of it like before..."
At this point, Uncle Zhang fell into his old habit and began to educate the seventeen-year-old boy.
The young man had a wry smile on his face. While sitting on the wicker chair and listening to Uncle Zhang's chatter, he sunk his mind into his Dantian and began to cultivate the extremely small warm current in his Dantian.
The young man's name is Du Qian, he is a time traveler, and he has traveled through time twice.
For the first time, he traveled to the world of the Three Kingdoms and became the old Tao Qian.
At that time, he relied on his foresight to successfully make several important decisions, which changed Xuzhou's destiny.
But unfortunately, Tao Qian's health was really bad at that time. He only lived in that world for less than ten years before he died and traveled to another world again.
This time, his luck was still not very good.
Because the boy he possessed and took away his body was a little beggar who was beaten to the point of dying by the gangsters and was about to die.
When Du Qian thought that his miserable second life was going to die young again, a troupe came to the ruined temple outside the county town.
Uncle Zhang found him and quickly called the old class leader to come and take a look. The old class leader touched his bones and said that he could learn the magic of the rope, so he took him away and took care of him until now.
Du Qian was also very grateful to repay his kindness.
Since he learned the rope trick, he set up a stage with Uncle Zhang and earned a lot of gold and silver for the troupe.
At the same time, the old class leader couldn't bear to see his talent stained, so he taught him the superficial skills he had practiced.
Only then did Du Qian finally learn that this world was not an ordinary world, but an extraordinary world where immortals, demons, and Buddhas existed.
After discovering this, Du Qian was naturally unwilling to spend the rest of his life in just one opera troupe.
He began to look for various hidden masters and tried to embark on the path of cultivating immortals, but until now, he had only practiced the skills of his old leader, and none of those so-called masters were real masters.
But Du Qian didn't gain anything. During the two years he spent in the market, he accidentally learned the background of this world.
It was a relatively remote village. The troupe settled in the village and rested for the night. That night, corpses appeared on the graves. An invulnerable zombie broke into the village and killed many villagers.
The most powerful old troupe leader in the troupe came forward to stop it, but was still seriously injured by the zombies.
After that, the old team leader led everyone to evacuate the village in an emergency, without having to solve the village's problems like in the movies and TV shows.
In the words of the old leader, he has exhausted his benevolence and righteousness. Whether the village can survive this disaster depends on their own destiny.
Two months later, the troupe passed by the village again and found that the village had already returned to peace.
Du Qian was curious, and after disguising himself, he went to the village to ask. It turned out that after they left, a Taoist priest who claimed to be an exorcist appeared in the village and easily eliminated the zombie with thunder.
After hearing the news, before Du Qian had time to regret missing the master, another word attracted all his attention.
-The Exorcist!
Hearing this rather Western title in a world with an Eastern background reminded Du Qian of one of Xing Ye's movies, the Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons, which produced many famous memes.
Could it be that this world is the world of Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons?
Du Qian was only suspicious at the time, but as time passed, he found more evidence.
Among them, what can be called irrefutable evidence is the legendary Thirteen Taibao of Huaguo Mountain five hundred years ago...
That's right, the Thirteen Taibao of Huaguo Mountain!
Such a ridiculous and famous name can only appear in Xingye's nonsensical world.
After confirming the information about this world, Du Qian changed his goal.
He doesn't plan to find some famous reclusive master. He plans to look for an exorcist who has appeared in movies and choose a character who is easier to fool to become his disciple.
The exorcist he is currently pursuing is the man who practices Xingyi Five Elements Boxing in the movie.
I heard that he recently killed a black bear spirit nearby, so Du Qian suggested that the old band leader come to perform in this county...
"Ding--"
Just when Du Qian closed his eyes and thought deeply, a soft sound suddenly sounded in his mind.
Du Qian suddenly sat up from his wicker chair and looked around in confusion.
Then, clearer words sounded in his mind.
"The system is being installed, host please wait a moment."
What...what the hell?
Du Qian opened his mouth wide and sat blankly on the wicker chair.
When he came to his senses, he couldn't help but feel excited.
After two miserable worlds, is his golden finger finally coming?
Du Qian's eyes widened and he asked in his heart with anticipation: "System, are you there?"
"The system is being installed, host please wait a moment."
Du Qian asked several times in a row, but each time he only received a mechanical response.
Obviously, this system should have no conversational intelligence.
This is a good thing for Du Qian.
Du Qian stopped calling the system and instead waited patiently for the system to be installed.
Until that night, while Du Qian was lying in bed, he finally heard the notification that the system installation was complete.
He straightened up immediately, sat on the edge of the bed with bright eyes, and tentatively called up the system.
In an instant, a panel composed of silver light appeared in front of his eyes.
It was written in big silver letters on it——
