Tang Qi Tan

Chapter 2, Skyfall

Not long after, footsteps came back again in the distance, and in the reflection of the swaying cage fire behind the corner, someone even shouted while pinching their throats.

"Sanpi, I've found it... don't delay any longer... I'm going to go to the red carp room to have a drink later, I'm so shocked... After finishing this trick, I have to go to the abandoned village under the Lishan Mausoleum to take refuge For a while, I no longer saw the many benefits of Xijingli, "

"That's why you said... How much should Brother Feng give us this time... It's best to let us pack a fan to go there together, so as to relieve boredom..."

The person who came was holding a dim yellow lantern in his hand, showing a dark and ugly face; in the other hand was holding a dirty pot, which was the old hozen who had left before.

But after failing to get the expected response, the old hozen looked suspiciously at the darkness around him, then walked slowly to the edge of the wall, and continued to shout:
"Where did you hide, you greedy, lazy bastard, hurry up and come out to me... If you miss something and show your hands, Zhang Kuaidao in Huihuifang might not want to peel you and me to make sticks and drums..."

The next moment, the old hozen, who was anxiously looking around and yelling, was suddenly taken aback by the corpse on the ground. "Ha!!! My mother, hello..."

The next moment, his scalp suddenly felt a sharp pain, but someone pulled his hair in a bun and suddenly fell back in pain.The old hozen, who suddenly lost his balance, danced and struggled with all his strength, but was slashed on his Adam's apple by a knife from the side.

And the old hozen, who was caught off guard, blurted out a scream like a night owl, and then stopped.The next moment, his head and face, following the power of pulling the bun behind him and the violent continuous collision, suddenly bumped against the hard rammed earth wall, pressing hard against it, leaving a bloody scar.

After a while, the old hozen, who had been hit repeatedly, was finally released. Like a bird with broken wings, he waved his hands out of thin air, turned back and lost his balance, and fell headlong into the ditch on the side of the road, almost head-on. Fell facelessly into the dry and cracked soil at the bottom of the ditch;

Then, Jiang Tian, ​​who fell out of nowhere from the shadows, knelt down and stepped on his back without hesitation, and stepped his neck into the crushed soil that he was struggling to smash with his whole body weight;

Then he unhurriedly waved the stick in his hand, and hit the back of the head and spine that stood up like a dehydrated fish, and smashed it down again with the heavy tip; only a moment later, he let go of the body that was already under his feet. A dead body that no longer moves.

In a blink of an eye, this was the second thief who died in his own hands, but Jiang Tian didn't even feel any surprise and excitement, but became a little dazed.Even after experiencing this life-and-death struggle just now, it seems a bit unreal.

And a new reminder appeared in his vision again, "The second step of the guidance mission is completed, and the energy is being collected..."

Even so, as a certain kind of intense excitement gradually subsided from the body, and after feeling the heaviness and fatigue again, Jiang Tian felt that there was a long-term stagnation and stasis in the body, giving him the pleasure of venting and the momentary pleasure. Thoughts flow freely.

That is also an indescribable taste that cannot be felt and experienced in the modern domestic environment that has been in a peaceful age for a long time.Is this due to the influence of his past experience, or is it that every man actually hides the factors of killing and tyranny left by the ancestors of ancient generations in his body?

After all, during Jiang Tian’s days in the Black Continent, there were many unexpected surprises or chances of encounters with lions, cheetahs, and hyenas at the top of the food chain from time to time; there are also many bloody scenes in nature that he observed with his own eyes. and process.

Of course, that was also the most willful and fun time for him to manipulate all kinds of firearms prohibited in the country.In the tribal armed forces and local forces that he once participated in health services and epidemic prevention and control, he still uses many IWC equipment that spans the entire development of modern firearms;
From the flintlock guns, firing pin guns, and double-barreled elephant guns left over from the old and new colonial times, to the old Mauser of World War I, singles, and then to the grease guns of World War II, Touching Heart, Li Enfei, and Gardland ; and even later the civilian artifacts of the third world-AK and five-and-a-half; there are also larger can openers, tearing machines, and Haskechi, which he tried to use one by one;

Is this more enjoyable and powerful than some Internet celebrity UP hosts such as "Good luck, chicken tonight" broadcast live on the Internet?What's more, because of the traveling diagnosis as a team doctor; he also got the guidance of many veterans who participated in the construction of foreign aid projects and civilian security teams in the local area. It can be said that he has hunted crocodiles, bison and hyenas. up.

It's a pity that all of these things have completely gone away with me due to unexpected changes.Jiang Tian laughed at himself in the memory, while trying to divert his attention from the blood.Looking and observing the surrounding environment again, the gray night sky only had a little bit of dim lantern fire, reflecting the faded green ramie shirt and black boots with frayed edges on his body.

Jiang Tian compared the remaining puddles and dim lights in the ditches by the roadside again. This face had a vague outline of its original appearance, and then he saw that his teeth were quite neat, and the enamel was rarely worn. The food was pretty good.

It's just that the congealed blood stains on the top of the head and the swelling on the back of the head are really painful when touched.There were still moist blood stains that hadn't coagulated yet, so his face was even paler and listless as his face twitched.

Then Jiang Tian began to check himself again.The limbs are also completely different. As a carnivore that used to be a carnivorous animal, the tendon meat that was exercised, as well as the dark skin that was exposed to the scorching sun of the savannah and the barren rainforest, are gone.

Only the paler and weaker hands and feet are left, but you can feel the relatively firm muscles under the skin, and the skin is still shiny and elastic, and there are no redundant scars and bruises, and it seems that you don't need to work all day Born in a poor family and poor family.

Well, Jiang Tian can be thankful for at least one thing.Although I have traveled to this somewhat weak body; but the body memory left by the training before going abroad, and the various conditioned reflexes, skills and experiences developed while walking on the Black Continent have not faded much;

And although the half-worn blue ramie shirt on his body has no patches, it has obviously been washed and worn back and forth for a long time, and the cuffs and elbows have been worn white, and even a little off the line, which also means that The economic situation of this body will not be much better.

Therefore, after fumbling for a long time, he found more than a dozen copper coins with the words Kaiyuan, Qianyuan, and Fengyou in the sleeve pocket of his inner jacket.Well, now he can determine from the fineness of the color that he is in an era when the commodity economy and productivity are relatively prosperous.

Then there was a folded and carefully hidden paper object, and he suddenly vaguely remembered that this was a document to sue him.Similar to the general affairs of the identity card of later generations.Then Jiang Tian remembered some things from the previous game.One good news, one bad news.

The good news is that it is now the Tang Dynasty, the heyday of the feudal era, and it is still located in Chang'an City, Xijing, where the essence of the world is gathered; the bad news is that this does not seem to be the Tang Dynasty he is familiar with, or what this body can know is really limited.

Next, according to the strange feeling that was constantly surging in Naxia's heart, Jiang Tian pinched his nose and endured the smell of fresh blood plasma, and began to seize the time to search the whole body of the fallen thief.

The first is the dwarf mule named Sanpier who has become stiff.After touching the smelly blouse and the crotch full of stains; besides the lantern and the big stick thrown aside, there are also a string of polished copper coins and a wooden sign with rough flying bird patterns. A group of flints for starting fire, and nothing else.

On the rough and lacklustre dark skin of the corpse whose clothes were stripped off, there were irregular landscape tattoos and many old scars, plus the clear and bald scoop under the turban and dirty wig.

This also made him involuntarily speculate about the identity of the other party: this is obviously a product of the characteristics of this era-a typical place attached to the capital, named "Wuling Children", "Evil Boys" and "Wandering Children" A specialty of "leisure".

That is to say, those similar existences who are beautified as "recalcitrant masters" and "old gunners" in later generations; but in this era, they obviously represent the lowest limit of human nature full of crimes among the filthy street groups.

What was found on another tall thief, the old hozen, was even more pitiful. Apart from a mess of rags with no known purpose, there was only a pair of hemp twine wrapped around a wooden handle, and a small knife with a greasy point on its long blade. and a gourd.

So after sending the two corpses into the ditch together as companions, Jiang Tian tied the small knife with a small blade on the short stick with a strip of cloth, and it became a very simple short spear with a tilted head; Take it down and tie a tile at one end to become a thrower.

Well, an upgraded version of the far and near self-defense equipment is also available.He couldn't help Wei Ran sighing to himself:
Don't underestimate these two simple things.The reason why human beings are able to stand out in the ancient era of the freedom of all things and become the spirits of all things at the top of the food chain is because they are good at using tools as minions to respond to various situations and changes.

Therefore, with the expansion of human civilization, the former king of beasts and jungle overlord has become a rare species that can only be kept in zoos for artificial breeding, so as not to become extinct.Huge monsters such as elephants and hippos can only tremble in front of Uncle Hei's spear.

And another old friend I met in Jiangtian even had a legendary story of successfully killing half of the hyena herd in the wild with only a knife and the condescending advantage of climbing up a tree, and frightened the other half away.

Then, he picked up the gourd, shook it, opened the stopper and smelled it, and took a few sips of the remaining liquid without hesitation. It was sour, thin and dirty wine with many impurities; but Quenches some of the body's thirst and fatigue after a strenuous workout.

The moment his body was nourished and relaxed, a sad little face suddenly flashed in front of his eyes, making him feel extremely anxious and anxious.It seems that there is something extremely important that will be lost soon.

"lolo"

He involuntarily murmured a name.Then some fragments of memory came to life.

Indistinctly in a courtyard with the fragrance of orchid osmanthus, another delicate and childish voice said to himself:
"My name is Luo Luo, Luo from Luoshui... Are you the new Mr...."

Then Jiang Tian suddenly remembered that it seemed to be the first vassal of the Tang Dynasty - Daxia, who was stationed in the residence of the envoy in Chang'an. His predecessor was Mr. Xixi who came as a personal recommendation. The scene of meeting with students.

However, this is Chang'an City, the most benevolent place under the foot of the emperor. This is the most beautiful Lantern Festival night for thousands of families. The city is full of scholars and common people to celebrate the special day all night long; there are also many officials and soldiers patrolling all night until dawn. The head of the Sanyuan Festival.

However, such a heinous thing still happened before his own eyes.

The little student who ignored his family's prohibition and kept calling himself "Mr. Gao" in private; the clumsy girl who wanted to pretend to be an ordinary person and sneak out to play, but always showed her secrets in one or two places;
That little darling who unintentionally relieved himself in the days when he was inexplicably depressed and lost, was just robbed on the street;

At the moment when I was watching a shadow puppet show on the field in front of the mountain gate of Baoqing Temple, I was suddenly knocked to the ground by someone.

Out of the corner of my eyes, I only had time to see a few masked men dancing past; their wide-brimmed multicolored silk thread gowns just covered their heads in the crowd, and the little men disappeared.

Then my predecessor just ran madly and desperately chased him in the street, and then was ambushed by the pre-buried thieves during this alley chase.If he didn't wake up in time, maybe, there would be no possibility.

However, Jiang Tian couldn't help but feel disappointed in his predecessor.This stunned young man didn't have any strength or props to rely on, and he didn't find anyone to help and respond. He even left a message with an acquaintance, and chased him with all his enthusiasm.

It's no wonder that he was caught off guard and was attacked from behind, beaten and thrown aside; since the other party dared to do such a thing in the street, how could there be no accomplices to support and cooperate.

But now it's completely different. This nearly dead body has been replaced with a completely different generation of soul and consciousness, which also brings completely different encounters and results.

However, as the body's thirst and exhaustion eased, Jiang Tian hesitated a little again. Should he just continue chasing him single-handedly; instead of going back to the street and calling more people to help search.

However, he quickly smiled wryly, because according to the residual memory of this body, when he turned around and called for help, or did not know how much effort he had spent to win the trust of those Wuhou and bad people who patrolled the streets, he was afraid that everything The day lily is going to be cold.

Could it be that this time I really want to be a lonely hero from the beginning to the end.And in the dark alleyway, the faint petals of jasmine flowers, after being trampled, give off a fragrance that is spreading in the wind.

This was also the last trace and clue that he could have left in the all-night Lantern Festival during the Lantern Festival, when he was tussling with the masked man and personally tore off the flower string on the multicolored silk polyester gown of the other party.
