Chapter 2 Take care of yourself
The man in gray didn't walk peacefully at all.
It can even be said that he died with his eyes closed. He didn't even give a name until his death. It was completely like a passerby's death.
He had never heard of the martial arts "Divine Movements" and "Blood Sword Technique". No one in the world, let alone him, had heard of them except Chu Tang.
Just because these martial arts do not belong to this world, and Chu Tang was not from this world before.
More than a year ago, Chu Tang was still on Earth. He had just stepped out of the ivory tower of university for a year. After experiencing various beatings from his seniors, he spent a year as an intern in 996 and finally became a full-time employee.
When he was pursuing a promotion and salary increase, becoming a general manager, becoming a CEO, marrying Bai Fumei, and reaching the pinnacle of his life, he unfortunately died just because he was walking on the road to save someone from a speeding car.
After being knocked more than ten meters away and still in the air, Chu Tang's last thought was: Don't tell another seventy-yard story!
After that, the vision went dark, and when I opened my eyes again, I came to this world.
Traveling through time is nothing new!
The customs, customs and cultural habits here are similar to ancient China, but they are not from a certain period of time.
This is a place where the country's name is Dayao.
The state of Yao administered nine states, and Chutang was located in Shi County, Guijun, Liangzhou, the southernmost state of the state of Yao.
The child with the same name and surname possessed by Chu Tang can be said to be an unlucky guy:
When Chu Tang was born, his mother died in childbirth; his father worked as a policeman in the county government. He was a rough man. In addition to raising the child with poop and urine, he also worked diligently. Finally, when Chu Tang was sixteen years old, he During an encirclement and suppression of bandits, he was also hacked to death.
The sixteen-year-old predecessor, to fill in his father's shoes, also gloriously became a policeman. He had only been working for less than a year when he was seriously injured while performing tasks on the street and died from his injuries.
In this way, Chu Tangjiu took over the body and resurrected it into a new person.
After finally getting familiar with this world, Chu Tang was shocked, especially when he heard the stories of some masters who frequently wielded swords, swords flashed like water, and killed people like hemp.
The personal force value in this world is much higher than the martial arts world he is familiar with!
He had to give up making glass and invent cement to make a lot of money, and then awakened to the dream of taking over the world and lying drunk on the knees of beautiful women. He lowered his noble head as a time traveler and got up in bed - inheriting the identity of his predecessor and honestly working as a policeman!
After all, there is no apocalyptic scene in today's world, and the imperial court is considered to be at its peak, with strong men emerging in large numbers.
If you want to survive, you have to hold on to the big gangs, and the biggest gangster at present, oh no, the biggest gangster force, belongs to the imperial court.
Although the police officers were at the lowest level of the imperial court, they were still considered public officials and members of the imperial court. I'm one of my own. If something really happens, why don't you help me?
Just when Chu Tang was resigned to his fate and planned to survive for a few years, he did a good deed on the street and got the golden finger.
They say time travel is not scary, and anyone who doesn’t have cheats will be embarrassed.
Chu Tang's golden finger is a panel in his mind that can be redeemed for martial arts. As long as the so-called chivalry value is enough, he can continuously redeem the extremely rare martial arts, body skills, martial arts, and magic skills that everyone in this world cherishes. , everything you need.
However, chivalry is rare, and it took Chu Tang nearly a year of effort to randomly redeem "Divine Moves" and "Blood Sword Technique".
Both martial arts are magical skills described by Jin Daxia.
The skill of Divine Movement and Various Changes may not seem advanced, but it was the magic weapon used by Lord Wei to escape from the rivers and lakes when he only had the three-legged cat kung fu.
Traveling in the world, life is the first priority. Chu Tang is very satisfied with being able to use this magical and ever-changing cheat.
As for the Blood Knife Sword Technique, which does not have the mentality of the "Blood Knife Sutra", it is quite suitable for the policeman who uses the standard sword.
Perhaps it was because he had reached a small level of cultivation that Chu Tang, who was originally mediocre, actually broke through from the first level of cultivation to the second level in less than a year.
With a second-level cultivation level, he was considered to have high-end combat capabilities among the county police officers, so he was promoted to the leader of the Ding Squad.
There are nine levels of warriors in this world, with levels one, two, and three being the lower three levels, levels four, five, and six being the middle three levels, and levels seven, eight, and nine being the upper three levels.
The first level is to develop inner Qi, using Qi to control power. The next three levels are more reflected in the difference in strength.
One realm has the power of an ox.
How powerful is an ox?
Chu Tang calculated it and found that the strength of an ox is about four to five hundred kilograms, which is almost the combined strength of five or six ordinary people.
This is an exaggeration. With a punch of several hundred kilograms, an ordinary person would be injured or disabled. As long as the physical ability can keep up, a first-level warrior can definitely fight against dozens of ordinary people by himself.
The power of the second and third realms increased exponentially, and their power was beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
According to common sense, even if the warriors of the third realm cannot defeat the warriors of the second realm, they can easily defeat them.
But what happened today broke the rules: the third-level warrior was lying on the ground, but the second-level warrior was standing still, seemingly unscathed.
Seeing the body of the man in gray with half of his neck cut off, Chu Tang felt happy and excited in his heart.
What he encountered today was really beyond his expectation.
Although it has the ultimate trump card and the results are quite wonderful, it is too risky.
"That's reckless." Chu Tang shook his head secretly, "I promised to save my life first, why am I so impulsive today?"
People can hide under the bed if they want. As long as they don't get violent and hurt anyone, they can just take the opportunity to exit. After all, they have caught the wanted criminal, so why bother with a person whose strength is unclear?
"Could it be that the past six months have been smooth sailing and I've drifted away?" Chu Tang reflected, "I can't drift away. There are too many masters in this world, and they haven't fully developed yet!"
"Old Chu, what's going on?" Just when Chu Tang was in a daze, Xu Jin rushed in from outside. When he saw the scene in the room, he found that Chu Tang was in a daze. He thought he was injured and was extremely anxious.
Chu Tang came back to his senses, frowned and said, "Why are you back?"
Xu Jin shouted: "I walked for a while and found that you didn't follow me. I asked you that you also had a crossbow. I knew there was something wrong with you! Who is this person?"
He finally asked, pointing to the man in gray on the ground.
Chu Tang told the story again, in an understatement, as if what he just encountered was normal.
The more Xu Jin listened, the more surprised he became. He couldn't help complaining and said: "Old Chu, you really shouldn't have sent us away. Yes, I know that only a few of us are in the first level of cultivation, which is far worse than you. But we are brothers, Let's face it together if we have anything. You sent us away and took risks yourself, you really don't take us seriously. Like you said, I suffered ten thousand injuries!"
Chu Tang smiled bitterly and said: "This person can hold his breath in the room for such a long time without missing a beat, which shows that he has profound skills. You also know that when one's cultivation is so advanced, it can't be dealt with by more people. On the contrary, sometimes, sometimes There are too many people, but they get in the way. My Qinggong and body skills are pretty good, but I have the confidence to escape if I can't defeat them. If I take you with me, I won't have the same confidence."
Xu Jin was hurt a lot again, and said angrily: "Just tell us what to do!"
Chu Tang glanced at him and said leisurely: "If you spend more time on visiting brothels on practicing martial arts and advance to the second level as soon as possible, I won't have to shoulder these things alone. I am the only one in our Ding class who is in the second level. The other classes are all bad, so if I don't take it easy, the grass on your graves will probably grow several feet long."
When it came to the brothel, Xu Jin was no longer sleepy. He said excitedly: "Old Chu, the girls at Yihonglou in the county are really pretty. You really need to come with me to see them and enjoy them."
"I don't want to challenge my weakness so early." Chu Tang rolled his eyes at him, "Also, not everyone is like you. If you don't work well as a detective, you will have to go back and inherit the five shops at home!"
"I invite you!"
"I heard that if a prostitute is invited, the penis will be two or three minutes shorter."
"Ah?" Xu Jin exclaimed, "Is there such a thing? Then I..."
"Stop talking! Get to work!" Chu Tang interrupted him, pointed at the body on the ground, and ordered, "When we go back, we will interrogate Li San severely. First, ask me the identity of the guy in front of me. Second, We need to carefully examine what they came to Shi County to do."
Seeing Chu Tang's serious expression, Xu Jin slowly reacted: "Old Chu, you mean, these guys are not simple?"
Chu Tang said: "We always thought that it was just Li San who fled to Shi County, but there is a Third Realm warrior hiding here with him. Do you think they really simply escaped?"
Xu Jin nodded and said: "There are only two or three Three Realm warriors in our entire Shi County, which can be regarded as the highest-end combat power in a small place. He showed up in our Shi County, maybe he really has an agenda. Hey, wait a minute. Wait, Lao Chu, what are you talking about, this guy is a warrior in the third realm?"
"That should be the case. His strength is much greater than mine, at least the strength of three oxen." Chu Tang said calmly.
Xu Jin had a big mouth, swallowed his saliva, and asked in disbelief: "Old Chu, is he really a third-level warrior?"
Chu Tang said: "When you interrogate that Li San, just ask and it will become clear."
Xu Jin believed it, looked at Chu Tang for a while, and said after a while: "Old Chu, you and I have been friends for more than ten years, but you have changed so much in the past year, I don't even dare to I recognize you."
Chu Tang was shocked, but said with a nonchalant expression: "You are always shocked every day, but it never changes."
Xu Jin choked, smiled bitterly, and sighed: "It seems that the old saying is true. Comparing people with others will make people angry, and comparisons with goods have to be thrown away! Alas, we are practicing martial arts at the same time and studying at the same time. I am still half a bucket full of water. You But it’s so outstanding! Why?”
"Maybe it's because I received nine years of compulsory education?" Chu Tang replied softly.
Xu Jin didn't hear clearly and said, "What? Nine years of education? You and I entered private school at the age of six, and didn't start working as errands until we were sixteen. It took more than nine years!"
Chu Tang was in a daze for a while, and his thoughts seemed to be pulled back a long way. After a while, he came back to his senses, smiled bitterly, and sighed in his heart: Alas, everything was fine when he came out, but everything can't go back!
He lost the mood to talk and waved his hand to Xu Jin to call a few police officers to come over and deal with the funeral arrangements.
More than twenty policemen, carrying people, carrying people, and kidnapping people, went straight to the county government office in a mighty and high-spirited manner.
They were elated and excited.
Not only did this trip successfully capture the wanted thief in the county, but he also killed a seemingly stronger thief. The credit for this was certainly not small, so the county government had to reward him with some silver taels, which was definitely what he deserved. meaning.
The average monthly salary for a fast officer in Shi County is three taels of silver, which is considered a high salary in a small county.
Gold and silver are scarce here. One tael of gold can be exchanged for one hundred taels of silver, one tael of silver can be exchanged for one copper coin, and one copper coin can be exchanged for one thousand copper coins.
In small places, five or six copper coins can buy a pound of white rice.
In other words, with a monthly salary of three taels, you can buy five to six hundred kilograms of rice alone, which is enough for a small family to live a relatively comfortable life.
However, in this world, strong men in martial arts come and go, and they are often either doing chivalry or robbing families. No matter what they are, they will fight and take people's lives, no matter what.
In this environment, working as a police officer means having your head stuck in your belt. If the salary is only three to two months, many people are still unwilling to work hard.
As the saying goes, there must be brave men under heavy rewards. In order to make the police officers work diligently, the county government provides various rewards in addition to salary, such as solving crimes and killing thieves. These can be regarded as heavy rewards in performance appraisals.
This time, if Dingban catches the thief quickly and solves the case, he will definitely get a lot of bonuses. This is what everyone is most happy about.
It took nearly an hour for everyone to return to the county government office from the outskirts of the county seat. At this time, night fell and the wind became colder and colder, making people shiver.
Fortunately, the world is peaceful, and the area around the county government office is the most popular. On nights when there is no curfew, not to mention the bright lights, it is bright and lively. Walking among them, you can't help but drive away some of the late autumn chill.
Returning to the county government office, the tedious chores were handled by the police below. Chu Tang went to the courtyard on the left side of the government office and met Xu Wei, the chief arrester of Shixian County, in one of the wings.
Xu Shao was about forty years old. He had a square face with sharp edges and corners, thick eyebrows and big eyes. He was tall and burly, mighty and powerful, and had an intimidating aura.
When Chu Tang came in, he was wiping the sword on the chair. The white cotton towel in his hand wiped the blade again and again, very gently and carefully, like stroking a lover's face.
The blade turned white and glowed dazzlingly under the light.
He was so rested that he seemed to be waiting for Chu Tang. When he saw the latter coming in, he raised his eyes slightly and said, "You're back?"
"Uncle Xu!" Chu Tang called him familiarly when no one else was around.
Xu Wei has been friends with Chu Tang's father for 20 to 30 years. As a head catcher, he has been taking good care of Chu Tang since he joined the police force.
Although there are not many agents with second-level cultivation in Shixian County, there are still quite a few, but not everyone can be the leader.
Not long after Chu Tang broke through to the second realm, Xu Wei promoted him to be the leader of the D class, which was suspected of nepotism.
In the face of doubts, Xu Wei said directly: Shi County's police force has been in decline. It's hard for young people to take the lead. If we don't train them quickly, we'll wait until later!
It’s so tough!
Even if others are dissatisfied, so what can they do? As the most powerful person in Shixian County Government, Xu Wei can control the situation like this.
Fortunately, Chu Tang was also up to par. After taking over Ding Ban, he had been working diligently and conscientiously to help the county government accomplish many things.
For more than half a year, Class D, which has the weakest combat power, has been prospering in his hands, not much worse than the other Classes A, B, and C.
"Before you came back, someone came quickly to report that you had captured Li San. It seems that the trip went smoothly!" Xu Wei said with approval.
"Yes, everything went well." Chu Tang followed up and briefly reported on the trip in the shortest possible time.
"What? You killed a third-level warrior?" Xu Weiwei was shocked and stood up from his chair. He kept looking at Chu Tang and shook his head again and again, "No, no, you are still a second-level warrior! In that case , how can you kill someone who has cultivated in the third realm? Could it be that...you have used all the gadgets you usually tinker with?"
Chu Tang did not intend to reveal his true trump card. Even if the other party was an elder with whom he was always close, he still needed to keep his biggest secret in the world.
"Yes, we used drugs, smoke, medicine-coated crossbows, and all the means we could!" Chu Tang admitted following the other party's words.
Hearing this, Xu Wei felt that he understood everything. He slowly sat down again and looked at Chu Tang with a look that was both gratifying and satisfying, but also anxious and uneasy.
"Xiaotang, you make Uncle Wei not know what to say about you!" Xu Wei smiled bitterly, and the wrinkles on his forehead appeared, "Praise you, your way of doing things... Oh! I blame you, you did it again It must be extremely beautiful!”
Chu Tang spread his hands and said: "It doesn't matter whether it's a white cat or a black cat, as long as it can catch mice, it's a good cat. Uncle Xu, we are fast-moving, isn't it natural to catch thieves? Do we still have to talk to them about the rules and morals of the world?"
"You, you! Of course I don't advocate catching thieves in an open and aboveboard manner, but you can't blatantly use all kinds of underhanded tactics. These are all dirty tricks and are despised by others. If you use them too much, your reputation will be lost. , be careful if someone else does it for you!" Xu Wei became more and more helpless as he spoke.
Chu Tang said very bachelorly: "Uncle Xu, if I have the cultivation level of the upper three realms, I won't use any tricks and just push through. But, do we have such level of cultivation?"
Xu Wei was speechless, and finally choked out a sentence: "I'm not as sharp-tongued as you, so I can't speak to you. You're still young, so take care of yourself!"
Chu Tang knew that the other party really cared about him, so he did not continue the fight. Instead, he cared about the other party's diet and health.
"Okay, okay, I've been busy for a few days, and now the thief has been caught. We will worry about the follow-up later. Now you go back and have a good night's rest." Xu Wei waved impatiently.
Chu Tang stopped talking nonsense, said goodbye, then walked out of the Yamen with a hundred swords on his waist.
Walking to the right to the end of the long street, passing through two or three alleys, and walking to a stone bridge, I saw his residence in the distance.
As the name of Shixian County suggests, there are many rocks and towering stone mountains. As far as the eye can see, they are all filled with rocks.
The county is surrounded by mountains on all sides, and a Qingshui River more than ten feet wide flows from north to south. People on both sides of the bank live by the water, thus dividing Shixian County into east and west parts.
The county government is in Hexi, and this area is the most prosperous.
The Hedong area is relatively backward and cannot compare with the level of Xicheng.
Chu Tang's ancestors have settled in the county for three generations. Although they are not a wealthy family, after three generations of hard work, they still have a small courtyard by the Dongcheng River, and they can be regarded as people from the county.
The Chu family is a small courtyard with one entrance and one exit. There is a small courtyard after entering the gate. To the north of the courtyard are the hall, bedrooms and wing rooms.
Chu Tang pushed the door open and walked in. The moonlight was shining, and the silver light was reflected. The ancient house exuded a hazy atmosphere, and the courtyard floor gave off a faint light, illuminating everything clearly.
There are two trees on both sides of the gate.
One is a jujube tree, and the other is also a jujube tree.
Liangzhou, located in the southernmost part of Dayao Jiuzhou, has high temperatures and strong sunshine all year round, which is not suitable for the growth and flowering of jujube trees.
The two jujube trees planted by the Chu family were no exception. They could not bear many fruits all year round. In late autumn, all the leaves fell off and the branches were bare, which was extremely ugly.
But after coming here for more than a year, Chu Tang still kept these two jujube trees and was reluctant to cut them down.
Because as soon as he saw them, he suddenly thought of a Lu who claimed to be someone other than Zhou. At this moment, he would feel longing for him and think of his identity before coming to this world.
It can be said that these two jujube trees entrusted him with different emotions from others.
But Chu Tang, who came in tonight, had no intention of looking at the jujube trees and feeling the sadness of spring and autumn.
He quickly returned to the bedroom, sat upright on the bed, and quickly entered the game panel of Consciousness Sea.
Today I captured a thief and killed a murderer. My chivalrous value, which had been dormant for a long time, finally skyrocketed!
You can happily exchange martial arts again!
