I am your natural enemy.

Chapter 605: Suspicion gradually reduced, starting point of the eastward crossing (5k)

The moment Wen Yan saw the air wave, his body instinctively gave up the idea of ​​resisting it.

The maximum speed at the moment of shooting can break the sound barrier. No matter how much the speed decays in the middle, the speed of the arrow will not be too slow when it flies to him.

To be able to maintain such a high acceleration without breaking, the arrow itself must be very strong. It is definitely much heavier than a bullet, and the kinetic energy it carries would be hundreds of times greater.

Wen Yan's body had already moved ahead of his thoughts. With a slight sway, he moved several meters away.

Before his footsteps landed on the ground, the afterimage of the powerful arrow had already passed through the place where he had just stood.

The moment his feet landed on the ground, the strong wind brought by the powerful arrow began to blow towards him with a whistle.

If he hadn't dodged just now, the arrow would have hit his chest, and with his bone density he would not have been able to withstand it.

According to his estimation, the nail on his left middle finger is definitely strong enough, but that nail is not vibranium, so he has to bear a large part of the kinetic energy himself.

As for fighting, what the hell, just treat him as a fool.

He really didn't understand why he went to the island country, what triggered something that allowed him to come here and meet the Qin's crossbowmen. What was the connection between them?

But he knew the fighting power of these guys, which was quite fierce, and it was specifically mentioned in the prompts that these soldiers were the representatives of "numbers really matter".

To estimate the overall combat power of this group of guys only by looking at their individual combat power is simply courting death.

Besides, there is no need.

"Wait a minute."

Wen Yan shouted, but... it was of no use.

Looking at the black mass of crossbow arrows breaking through the air, he took a step forward and rushed out.

He looked at his appearance. He was wearing modern clothes, had short hair, and was carrying a bag commonly used by Taoists, which contained his daily necessities.

With this attire alone and his presence near the battle, spying secretly, he himself knew that no matter how much he said, it would be useless.

As long as the leader didn't say a word, the Qin soldiers would not hesitate at all. They loaded their crossbows, shot arrows, covered the enemy with arrows, and launched cross-fire. They didn't seek to hit the target with one shot, but only to force the enemy to move, suppress the route, and finally kill the enemy with a volley of arrows.

Wen Yan's speed in the mountain was much faster than those dozen people just now. After a few steps, he was already at the top of another mountain.

"Don't do it, I'm a friend of Wang's from Pinyang!"

Wen Yan didn't know what era it was. The most he could recognize was Qin Bing from the way they were dressed and the buns on their heads. More than that, it was embarrassing for him.

He just looked at it from the top of the mountain. It was very big and he could feel the charm of a place far away. This was definitely not a small area or a small dream of an isolated event.

What if this is the Qin Dynasty at its peak? He would go crazy and fight with the Qin soldiers.

It’s not like Wen Yan hasn’t seen what a version is like during its strong period.

I stayed in the old dream for a few more days before, and saw the Thirteenth Ancestor in his prime. Not only was he extremely arrogant, but his aura was also incredibly strong.

At that time, Wen Yan was just standing on the edge. The strong aura there, like tangible momentum, made the air there sticky. Standing at the very edge, several layers of passive buffs were triggered.

The version at that time was much stronger than the current version which has just been revived by spiritual energy not long ago.

What if this is the legendary Xian Qin during its peak period...

Wen Yan thought about it and realized that he knew a Qin army soldier who was a military marquis and his status was not too low.

The soldiers standing on the chariot had sullen faces and barely understood Wen Yan's words. Although his accent was a bit strange, at least he didn't sound like someone from the fallen Chu state. It didn't have that flavor.

Seeing that Wen Yan did not continue to run but stopped, the soldier raised his hand and asked his soldiers to stop.

Wen Yanmai walked over and stopped about ten meters away.

"I am a friend of Wang Jiyong from the Wang Clan of Pinyang."

The Wang family of Pinyang was a large clan. The commander-in-chief Wang Jian who destroyed the Chu State was from Pinyang.

Moreover, this place is the former site of the fallen Chu State. If they are really friends of Wang Clan of Pinyang, they would at least not be the remnants of the Chu State who are bent on the destruction of Chu State.

The leading general thought again, and thought about how Wen Yan had just strolled leisurely in the garden, with each step covering dozens of feet. His speed was extremely fast, but it did not seem like the result of a strong physical body. If he wanted to escape, they would not be able to stop him with such a small number of people.

"Who are you? Do you have any credentials?"

"Wen Yan from Sanchuan County had moved to the south before and just came here today."

Wen Yan rummaged through his bag and took out a small porcelain bottle. Then, a thought came to him, and he saw a stream of water wrapping around the small porcelain bottle, and with a whoosh, it flew towards the soldiers in the distance.

"This is the Wang family's secret medicine given to you by Brother Ji Yong himself. Do you recognize it?"

He actually had a perpetual lamp in his hand, but if you think about where this thing came from, it came from an underground passage and was related to the Qin Emperor's mausoleum.

After taking it out, the food might even go bad.

After much thought, this is the only thing that comes to mind.

This was when Wang Jiyong misunderstood Gauss and shot him with an arrow. After finding out it was a misunderstanding, he gave Gauss some Wang's secret medicine, saying it would have a miraculous effect on his injuries.

Gauss took it back to study, and there was some left, so Wen Yan asked for it as part of his preparation.

It can lock blood, heal wounds, and they don't conflict with each other. He wants them all.

Let's try this now, it should be considered a relatively precious item.

The soldier took the porcelain bottle, looked at it carefully, pulled out the lid and sniffed it, frowned slightly, and then seemed to be in a daze.

This medicine must be quite old, but there is really nothing wrong with it. It is definitely the purest secret medicine of the Wang family. It has miraculous effects on injuries and is very precious.

Even if he is a direct descendant of the Wang family, it is unlikely that he can be given the purest secret medicine unless he has joined the army and earned military merit.

Last time, his Shangguan was hit by an arrow. The arrowhead had been soaked in gold juice and was highly poisonous. If he wasn't careful, he would have died from flesh rot. In the end, he was cured by this top-notch Wang's secret medicine.

After confirming that the medicine was fine, he actually believed it for the most part. Of course, it was mainly because Wen Yan was capable.

He stepped down from the chariot and put away his weapons.

"How long has it been since you last saw Wang Jiyong?"

"It's been quite a long time." Wen Yan thought about it and didn't give a specific time.

"Wang Jiyong has died in battle for several years, but you preserved the medicine very well." The soldier threw the medicine back to Wen Yan.

"Eh?"

"Several years ago, your majesty was on a tour and encountered an assassin. Wang Jiyong died in the fight with the assassin. Your majesty, thinking of his loyalty and bravery, ordered people to make a terracotta of him and granted him permission to be buried in the mausoleum." When the soldier said this, he could not hide his envy on his face.

"So that's how it is." Wen Yan suddenly realized. No wonder when he was in Guanzhong County, he clearly felt that Wang Jiyong's intelligence was far superior to that of the other terracotta warriors, and he could still clearly remember many things in his lifetime.

He guessed that Wang Jiyong, as a military marquis, had a fairly high status and it was possible that no one knew him. As for the Wang family of Pinyang, it was even more impossible that no one did not know them.

"What is your name?"

"Prisoner me." The soldier replied silently.

Wen Yan didn't understand. He introduced himself in this way, which meant that he had no surname or clan name and made his living entirely through military achievements.

Wen Yan's expression remained calm. After a moment's thought, he threw the half bottle of secret medicine to the other party.

"This is my first time meeting you, so I'll just treat it as a gift. Meeting is fate."

"Do you have any talisman, transmission, or verification?"

"..." Wen Yan actually didn't know what the other party was talking about. He shook his head: "No."

"You are going to the city with me. We need to verify your identity first. You are an alien, so you must make up for it."

Qiuwu was not used to Wen Yan's way of saying and doing things, but after hesitating for a while, he still couldn't bear to give up Wang's secret medicine.

Wen Yan followed this team of Qin soldiers forward, and identified the direction in his mind. The direction to leave here was also this direction, so he didn't think about it anymore and just followed them.

When passing by the site of the previous battle, Wen Yan looked at the dozen or so corpses and asked casually.

"Who are these people?"

"Shen Xi's remnants."

When Qiu Wu said this, he glanced at Wen Yan, only to see that Wen Yan had a confused look on his face, as if he was still waiting for him to explain.

Qiuwu was silent for a moment, and his vigilance and suspicion became even less.

"Are you an alchemist?"

"No, I get dizzy just reading books. I don't even know a few herbs."

"..." Qiuwu sighed secretly, and the last bit of doubt disappeared, and he gave a definition of Wen Yan in his heart.

A guy who was taken south by his family because of the war in his early years and accidentally became an alien may not even be able to read.

Especially Wen Yan's weird hairstyle and accent, he had to think about some words before he could combine the context and roughly guess the meaning. There was nothing to doubt about this kind of person, he was too conspicuous.

Moreover, following them so naturally is not something a normal person can do.

After Qiu Wu reported back, he took Wen Yan to the nearest city and gave Wen Yan something that he said could be used to temporarily verify his identity, so that at least he would not be mistaken for a savage.

Wen Yan asked what year it was and got several answers, some of which he couldn't understand, but Wen Yan could roughly infer that it should be after the Qin Emperor unified the six kingdoms.

And small seal script has also appeared.

He originally wanted to borrow some books to read, and Qiuwu was very generous and helped him find a pile of bamboo slips.

But seeing that there were at least three types of fonts on the bamboo slips, everyone else was dumbfounded. He could only recognize one small seal script, which he learned from Prince Zhu.

There were also some words that he couldn't recognize, and they were obviously discarded.

Although we have read in books that "all books will have the same writing system and all railway tracks will have the same standards", in reality, it is obvious that complete updates and replacements are not happening that fast.

Especially since this is the former site of the Chu State, many things are not so easy to completely assimilate and change.

Qiu Wu, who was standing aside, looked at Wen Yan's expression and felt satisfied. He was very familiar with this expression.

"What does this word mean?" Wen Yan didn't force himself to ask if he didn't know the word. Anyway, for some words, he could still recognize part of them by guessing.

"I don't know." Qiuwu answered confidently.

"..."

Wen Yan sighed, then took out his cell phone and started taking pictures. Although he couldn't connect to the Internet, he could use it as a camera.

After taking the photos, he will go back and give them as materials to others, and those old scholars will definitely treat him as their own son.

"Any other books?"

"I borrowed this and I have to return it later. People are waiting outside." Qiuwu pointed outside the door, where there was a man who looked like a servant standing there waiting.

"Then I'll go visit."

"It's very expensive to hire someone to study for you." Qiuwu kindly reminded.

"I can read!"

“I understand, but it’s expensive.”

Wen Yan looked at Qiu Wu and felt helpless to explain.

Damn it, he accepted being treated as illiterate by someone of his fourth uncle’s level.

Being treated as an illiterate by an illiterate person, he felt a little unconfident when speaking.

He used his face to recognize them. It turned out that one character could be written in many ways. The meanings of some characters were different from later times. There were even some bamboo slips whose characters looked like talismans. As a non-professional, it was normal that he didn't recognize them.

Qiu Wu didn't care whether Wen Yan was being stubborn or not, and he still kindly introduced Wen Yan to a local wealthy family to borrow books, and Wen Yan really had to pay for it.

Wen Yan gave the other party two small pieces of gold as payment for the books, and then started taking pictures with his mobile phone.

We have had experience before that things from these places cannot be taken away, but the images taken with the mobile phones given by the Lieyang Tribe can be taken away.

After returning this time, I must suggest that the Lieyang Tribe build in a database and enhance its performance to facilitate text translation in the future.

Speaking was not a big problem. He could understand after a while, especially since they were from the same language family, he could understand easily now.

The servant boy, seeing how generous Wen Yan was, was led by Wen Yan to talk a lot.

Things like books are not available in small families. This wealthy family is a local household, but they are also considered new aristocrats. They contributed to the great cause of unifying the six kingdoms for Emperor Qin Shi Huang. The eldest son of the family joined the army, made military achievements, and was awarded a military title.

There are many books here that, logically, should not exist. However, there are only a few literate people here, and it is far from the capital, so the rules are not so strict.

Wen Yan took less than half a day to take photos of all the bamboo slips in the room. The information density was really high. If it was a room full of paper books, he might not be able to finish taking photos even after a month.

When it was time for dinner, Wen Yan was invited to have dinner. When he arrived, in addition to the servants, he saw an ordinary-looking middle-aged man who claimed to be the owner of the place.

After just a few words, he heard a piece of news.

The local resident thought he was quite generous and a very powerful alien, so he told him when the conversation went smoothly.

“You are lucky, Mayor Xu will soon set out to sea again from here to look for the legendary fairy mountain.

Recently, a large number of Qin troops have been killing dissidents here, and many people have died.

A few days ago, there was an old Chu priest who was offering sacrifices to the Taiyi God and was killed as an evil spirit. "

"Taiyi?" Wen Yan heard a key word. He remembered that it seemed to be the belief of the Chu State. Among the several countries that were destroyed, the Chu State had the most cultural and belief-related things left behind.

"Back then, Wu Anjun led his troops to fight against Tai Yi Priest and captured three cities in a row. Tai Yi Priest was killed on the spot. I heard that the sun fell into the night sky, which was extremely spectacular."

"I wasn't born at that time, so I didn't know what the sun falling into the night sky meant?" Wen Yan had a bad feeling.

"The sun that is said to never set has fallen. I heard that someone saw it that day. The light of the sun went out that night. So now those guys who seem to be performing sacrifices are being watched closely."

Wen Yan's eyelids twitched wildly when he heard this. Why did it sound so much like the scorching sun?
Fortunately, after he came here, he first encountered the Qin army. He was very cautious and did not fight with the other side, nor did he use the Lieyang.

Otherwise, a guy who was highly suspected to be a priest of the ancient Chu faith, with a weird hairstyle, a weird accent, and weird clothes, appeared where Xu Shi was about to go out to sea.

And recently, the remnants of the anti-Qin and anti-Chu movement are being cleared out in this area.

What will happen if you meet him at this time?
Wen Yan suddenly felt that the impression given to him by outsiders, that he was ruthless and merciless, prone to fighting and killing at every turn, and that he was an illiterate who could do nothing but fighting and killing, was actually a good thing.

While Wen Yan was pondering, the local resident was talking happily and continued to brag.

“Last time I heard, after Xu Shi went out to sea, he encountered a dragon blocking his way, and he escaped back.

This time, we are well prepared, and maybe we can really find the immortal mountain and the elixir of life."

Seeing that Wen Yan didn't seem to believe it, the resident continued.

“Don’t disbelieve it, when Qin conquered Zhao, they found a man who had taken the elixir of immortality.

If Your Majesty had not really seen it, how could he believe the words of those alchemists?

If we can kill the dragon this time, we will definitely be able to find the fairy mountain, find the immortal tree, and refine the elixir of immortality.

You are an extraordinary person. If you are determined, an unprecedented achievement is right in front of you. You can give it a try.

When the time comes, I will go out to sea with you and fight dragons. When you come back, I will definitely be able to give you titles for your wife and children, and give you titles of nobility and honor."

"Thank you for your praise. I don't have that ability. I just run fast." Wen Yan smiled and shook his head. Only then did he understand what the local resident wanted to express.

Come to think of it, if City Xu wants to go out to sea, he can't just take boys and girls, craftsmen and the like with him.

To maintain authority, you always have to bring guards and experts to prepare for various situations.

It turned out that the local resident was willing to let him borrow books because he wanted to get him on board.

However, anyone who boards the ship must undergo a background check and must be completely reliable, right?

Wen Yan stayed here for a day. On the second day, he felt that the place had become lively and there were obviously many more people.

He also roughly understood in his heart why he was clearly going to the island country, but ended up here the moment he stepped into the border of the island country.

He knew something was at play, but there had to be a reason why he happened to be stepping on the territorial line.

He looked for the direction and found that, starting today, the direction of leaving here was towards the sea.

The most likely way to leave here is to follow Xu Shi's boat and sail east together.

Even though he was a stranger, the local residents recommended him to go on board as a guard and fight the dragon.

Could it be that Mayor Xu was really planning to run away, and his destination just happened to be the island country?

When Wen Yan saw the local resident go out, he followed him out and saw from a distance that the local resident was heading towards the beach.

Wen Yan strode away, ran for twenty minutes, found a high point, and looked at the seashore. On the simple dock, he could see several large ships, and people were constantly transporting things onto the ships.

The direction Wen Yan had in mind was those ships.

After waiting for half a day, Wen Yan saw a large group of people arriving.

The line was very long and there didn't seem to be anything special from the front, but from the back, Wen Yan saw a large number of girls, all wearing plain clothes with their hair draped behind their heads.

Duo Wenyan met quite a few people that day. To be honest, they all looked a little dusty. Now, seeing so many clean-looking girls with long, straight black hair, the contrast was immediate.

The three words "long black and straight" flashed through his mind, and then he looked at them carefully for a while. The more he looked, the more shocked he felt. He really found the most crucial information in an unexpected place.

Wen Yan remembered clearly the guy who fled to the island country. His online name was very straightforward: I just love long, straight black hair.
