Chapter 1 Crossing
A bustling restaurant,
at the corner,
A middle-aged man with disheveled hair was lying on the table.
The atmosphere of toasting and socializing around him seemed out of place for him.
The store owner was already familiar with the man who had been visiting the hotel every day for the past half month. The experienced boss knew at a glance that he was another person who was unwilling to face reality. Such people were not uncommon in the hotel.
The middle-aged man was actually a time traveler, and his body was taken over by the soul of Wang Ming from Blue Star half a month ago.
cross!
It is the wish of many frustrated young people in real life. Wang Ming, a loser, should be happy to be chosen by an unknown being, but this time travel is a bit of a trap.
He did not get the memories of his original body.
I was completely in the dark.
and,
A young man in his twenties suddenly became a man in his forties...
Can you be happy?
The original body's house was full of wine jars and all kinds of dirt and mess. It can be inferred that the original body was not a wealthy person, but just an alcoholic bachelor.
When Wang Ming was young, his parents worked all over the country, and he followed them to different schools. In addition, after working in his previous life, he often traveled around the country on business trips and learned many dialects. The language of these people in the Ming Dynasty was very similar to the dialect of a certain place in later generations, so he was not unable to understand the language.
Based on the other people's clothing and their conversations, it is speculated that it should be the Ming Dynasty.
Wang Ming's knowledge of the history of the Ming Dynasty was only at the level of an ordinary person.
Wang Ming was very frightened. He was just an ordinary wage earner in the 21st century. Who would have the time to learn how to make glass, explosives or brew wine?
As for the imperial examination? The education in later times is a different branch from that in this era. Can you make couplets? Can you write poetry? Can you write eight-legged essays?
Even if Wang Ming was willing to learn, it would be too late at this age.
Confused about the future and sad about never seeing his parents and relatives again, Wang Ming's mentality collapsed and he began to give up on himself.
I found a nearby restaurant and drank to escape reality, but I was so annoyed that I couldn't get drunk no matter how much I drank.
The alcohol content in this era is not high, and this body seems to be able to drink a thousand cups without getting drunk. Apart from wanting to go to the toilet, I don't feel drunk at all after drinking too much.
When he realized that drinking couldn't relieve his sorrow, he decided to accept his fate and leave the restaurant.
Wang Ming changed his mind after accidentally hearing the conversation of other drinkers, and continued to come here every day.
Gradually I came to understand this world from the conversations of drinkers.
This is not the historical Ming Dynasty at all.
The Iron-hearted Lord, Cao Zhengchun, the Governor Cao, and the four secret agents of the Dragon Guard Villa...
The familiar names made him realize that this was the world of film and television - "the best in the world".
Wang Ming is an ordinary person. He certainly doesn't read history books on a daily basis, but he usually watches movies and TV for entertainment. It is especially difficult to forget a classic drama. It happened that the TV played it many times, so he still remembers it clearly.
This drama mainly tells the story of a transparent prince Zhu Wusi, who step by step obtains the highest power in the world, sits on the dragon throne, and is finally betrayed to death by his adopted son and wife.
After confirming that he was the best in the world, Wang Ming's first thought was to find a sect to learn martial arts from. However, after thinking it over calmly, he realized that there was no hope. Just looking at the age of this body, he knew that no sect would accept him.
Wang Ming is not interested in fighting and killing. He wants to learn martial arts mainly because the internal power can prolong his life.
This body is already in its forties. If I don't find a way to prolong its life, I guess I won't have many more years of leisure and enjoyment left.
Moreover, if one's martial arts skills have reached the level of Zhu Wusi, he can form an army by himself. At that time, he can come and go freely between heaven and earth without even giving the emperor any face.
If he could break away from the shackles of secular monarchy, even if he became a middle-aged man, Wang Ming would not feel that he was at a disadvantage. After all, in modern times, he was just a mediocre social animal.
When Wang Ming was planning his future, he accidentally learned the identity of his original body.
He is "Zhang Jinjiu, the world's number one detective."
At first, Wang Ming didn’t know it was “The World’s No. 1” and didn’t care much when people called him “Zhang Jinjiu”.
Until a few days ago, a servant came to Wang Ming and said respectfully: "Master Wan invites the world's number one detective Zhang Jinjiu to his house for a chat."
At that moment, Wang Ming's mind was struck by a bolt of lightning. He was stunned and stood there. He didn't pay attention to the rest of the words and didn't know when the boy left.
"It seems that he was investigating Shangguan Haitang's death and was silenced by Liu Sheng Piaoxu." Thinking of being silenced, he suddenly panicked.
The original body's martial arts were no match for Liu Sheng Piao Xu, and now he has not inherited the original body's martial arts memory. If he meets Liu Sheng Piao Xu, he will definitely be killed.
"If I don't investigate or meddle in anything related to Zhu Wusi and just run away overseas, should I be able to survive?" Wang Ming thought to himself.
Soon the thought of running away faded.
Zhang Jinjiu is the best detective in the world.
It's not easy to run away with the title of the world's best detective.
Whether in the eyes of Wan Sanqian or Zhu Wusi, he is an excellent chess piece.
The chess piece wants to escape from the chessboard.
What about dreaming?
The most important thing is that Zhang Jinjiu has a mission.
Zhu Wusi asked Zhang Jinjiu to find Tianxiang Doukou. Zhu Wusi, who was crazy about love, would never let Zhang Jinjiu leave.
With Zhu Wusi's powerful intelligence network, it is difficult to find Tianxiang Doukou, but it is quite easy to find Wang Ming, an ordinary modern person.
In ancient times, ordinary people were not allowed to travel around, and they had to have a government pass. Zhang Jinjiu was a semi-official and could travel around, but he would also leave information along the way.
"We cannot not investigate the cause of Shangguan Haitang's death in the future."
Avoiding investigation is inconsistent with Zhang Jinjiu's personality and character, and will arouse suspicion.
Suspected...
Then Wang Ming, who has no memory of his original self, can treat readers to a meal.
then,
The thought of escaping from the Heavenly Prison popped into my mind and receiving this huge experience pack from Gu Santong.
But when I calculated the time, I found it was too late.
A few days ago, people in the tavern were discussing that Princess Rihide of Izumo Province had moved into the State Guesthouse. This was exactly the time when Cheng Shifei was receiving the teachings.
This made Wang Ming regret for a long time, but after thinking about it carefully, he was glad that he did not go.
First of all, the original owner had internal strength, but Wang Ming just didn’t know how to use it.
Anyone with internal strength who enters the Heavenly Prison will be mistaken by Gu Santong as a member of the Zhu Wusi faction. When he tries to test whether his martial arts skills have declined, he will be sucked to death directly.
Even if there is a chance to talk, it is not reliable to threaten Gu Santong with the news about Su Xin and Cheng Shifei. Don't think of Gu Santong as a kind-hearted old man who teaches martial arts. Think about the dead bones in the sky prison. He, Gu Santong, is also a man of the world.
The people in the underworld have so much blood on their hands, and most of them kill without blinking an eye.
Do you still want to threaten him with his son and wife?
He would directly control your acupuncture points and then torture you. At that time, you really couldn't live or die.
The most important question is how to enter the Nine-Layer Sky Prison.
Being a famous person means you have the halo of the protagonist. Ordinary people will die if they learn from him.
Wang Ming drank the bland wine in his hand in one gulp and sighed in his heart:
“All roads are blocked.”
"Did I travel through time just to be a waste?"
"Why not give me a golden finger, or even a system!" Although the system has its own conspiracy theory, without the system, he may not be able to leave Wan Sanqian Mansion safely at the moment.
"I used to think that the system's time travel was not good, but now I think that without a good system, nothing can be done." Wang Ming sighed again.
"Ding!"
"The All-Heaven Crossing System is at your service."
Suddenly, an emotionless electronic system voice sounded in my mind.
Wang Ming, who was lying on the table, sat up immediately and found that he was the only one who could hear it, so he put his mind at ease and studied the system by himself. Half an hour later.
Wang Ming understood the system's functions. The system was not very intelligent, and there was no service wizard, just a simple small panel.
There is only one active function, which is to travel through the world of movies and TV shows.
And if the energy is not exhausted, the host can be reborn with his soul by the system as long as he is not killed by the Lord of Rules (such as the saints in Journey to the West).
Wang Ming was excited: "If I can be reborn, can I have fun as I please?"
He suddenly felt that his life was taking off and the world was full of hope.
Suddenly, my excitement stopped, and I thought to myself, "It seems like I overlooked something?"
Wang Ming remembered that the prerequisite for resurrection is energy.
After another round of research, he found the full level of energy and traveled through the low-level martial arts world three times, the medium-level martial arts world twice, and the high-level martial arts world once.
A more advanced world requires system upgrades.
Breaking through the world requires energy. The higher the level of the world, the more energy is consumed.
That is to say, this resurrection armor can be used in the early stage, but after the advanced world breaks through the boundary, there will be no remaining energy to provide resurrection.
Charging is the system automatically collecting world energy. We don’t know what kind of energy it is. The charging speed is uncertain and depends on the world energy concentration.
"I can travel through worlds and be reborn, which means I can change my body? Then when I reach a higher level world, can't my spirit reshape my body?"
Wang Ming was instantly overjoyed. There was nothing good about Zhang Jinjiu's body. It was too old!
Other people's bodies are not as good as your own.
Wang Ming set a small goal for himself, to regain his own body.
After studying the system, Wang Ming began to analyze the current situation.
"If Zhu Wusi rebels, I will definitely be implicated. Tianxiang Doukou alone will definitely come after me. Reputation hurts people! There is no way to hide even if you want to."
As an ordinary wage earner, Wang Ming knew that he was better than the ancients in terms of scientific and technological knowledge, but when it came to pure conspiracy and intrigue, he could not beat the best people of an era.
"I have no power or influence at the moment. My only advantage is that I have foresight and understand the desires and weaknesses of these trendsetters of the times," Wang Ming analyzed himself.
Wang Ming thought that there was no point in going against Zhu Wusi. It didn't matter to him who became emperor. It would be the same no matter who became emperor.
It is not a good idea to cling to Zhu Wusi, as Zhu Wusi is too cruel.
Think about the endings of Gu Santong, Wan Sanqian, Gui Hai Yidao, Shangguan Haitang and others, and you must never lick Zhu Wusi.
There is only one and a half people that Zhu Wusi cares about in his heart, Su Xin is one, and Duan Tianya is half.
In his eyes, other people are just ants.
You can crush the ants without any ripples in your heart.
The emperor and Cao Zhengchun are not good people either. If you join them, you will just be a pawn.
Nothing good happened with them, so Wang Ming decided to fish in troubled waters!
Take advantage of your foresight to reap the benefits.
"Selling information just fits the identity of a detective very well."
The most important thing to be careful about when selling information is to avoid being silenced, and especially not to get involved in the head-on fight between Zhu Wusi and Cao Zhengchun, otherwise you will easily be used as cannon fodder.
The best martial arts in this world are the "Indestructible Vajra Art" and the "Absorbing Power Art".
"Gu Santong knows both martial arts, but they are probably already useless at this point." Wang Ming thought.
Now, only Zhu Wusi has the secret book of "The Art of Absorbing Power".
This skill is his foundation. Even if he obtained it by exchanging intelligence, Wang Ming would not dare to practice it.
If Guo Jing, that big man with thick eyebrows, can write the "Nine Yin Fake Scripture", how can Zhu Wusi, this old silver coin, not be able to write it?
"I can only seek the martial arts of the four major spies. It seems that I need to plan carefully."
suddenly,
Two black shadows floated in, controlled Wang Ming, and then used light skills to instantly take him out of the restaurant.
After the initial panic, the identities of the two were guessed.
The Four Ghosts of Xiangxi,
The attire, martial arts, and style are so impressive that it’s hard not to guess.
Wang Ming thought that Wan Sanqian was probably getting impatient and just sent someone to capture him.
Sure enough, not long after, he met the big boss Zhu Wusi.
The first impression Zhu Wusi gives people is one of majesty and a sense of righteousness.
If I didn't know what kind of person he was, I would have been fooled.
After all, Wang Ming was an ordinary person in his previous life, so he felt a little panicked when he saw Zhu Wusi.
The most important thing is that he is afraid that Zhu Wusi will find out that there are some differences between him and the original body.
Wang Ming remembered that the original identity was Zhu Wusi who was half drunk, so Wang Ming simply sat on the ground and pretended to be drunk to cover up his own abnormality and panic.
Wang Ming was not good at other roles, but he was very good at playing the role of a drunkard. He often pretended to be drunk at the table.
"Is he the world's number one detective, Zhang Jinjiu?" Zhu Wusi asked.
"Yes! There is nothing in the world that he cannot find out if he wants to."
"Yes... one thing." Wang Ming said with blurry eyes, pretending to be drunk.
Wang Ming complained in his heart, could it be that Zhu Wusi had never met Zhang Jinjiu?
The owner of the No. 1 Manor in the World is Shangguan Haitang, and the title of Zhang Jinjiu was given by Shangguan Haitang.
Wang Ming was not sure whether it was because of the time travel or the system, but Wang Ming could clearly remember the content of the original plot, even the lines.
"What is it?" Wan Sanqian's voice came from behind the screen.
"The best half-jar of wine in the world was brewed in Shaoxing thirty-five years ago. I drank half of it, and I have been searching for the remaining half for twenty-three years." Wang Ming tried his best to answer according to the words of the original body in his memory, not wanting to cause any more trouble.
"Will he be in the palace?" Zhu Wusi interrupted.
"I looked for it, but it's not there! Otherwise I would have drunk it long ago."
"It seems that someone wants to exchange that half jar of girl's red wine with you, and you are willing to give everything." Zhu Wusi said.
"must!"
Although he answered like this, Wang Ming actually had no desire for the daughter's red wine at all and just wanted to leave as soon as possible.
"Have you heard about the three things that bothered the Divine Marquis?"
"heard it"
"Check it out right away."
"That half jar of girl's red wine has been divided into eight bottles by the world's number one wine god and hidden in eight places. If you find it, I can give you one of the bottles." Wan Sanqian put out the bait behind the screen.
Wang Ming showed an eager expression, and then replied calmly: "The information about Wuhuan, Shen Hou already knows."
"We also found some clues from Princess Lixiu's side. The Queen Mother's disappearance is probably related to them."
"As for the fact that Gu Santong's disciple Cheng Shifei has become famous, I feel a little ashamed!"
"Can't find it?" Wan Sanqian sounded a little unhappy. After all, he had praised Zhang Jinjiu so highly just now. To say it was impossible now was a bit like slapping himself in front of Zhu Wusi.
"No, everyone knows where he is."
"Where is it?" Zhu Wusi asked.
"After he came out of the palace, he went straight to the gambling house and has been gambling until now. From what I see, he has almost gambled away all his money now." Wang Ming still pretended to be a little drunk and spoke out the information he saw from movies and TV shows.
I'm new here, you can give me some comments if the writing is not good, but don't curse me.
