Tianji Continent, the only place where humans live - Fengtian City.
The four walls of Fengtian City are as solid as gold.
The city wall made of solid stone is more than a hundred meters high, standing majestically like a mountain soaring into the sky. It is engraved with the traces of time. The simple and thick atmosphere gives people a majestic momentum that has stood for thousands of years.
The city covers an area of more than one million square kilometers and has a population of hundreds of millions. It is not so much a huge city as it is an extremely densely populated country.
Aerial view.
Fengtian City faces south and looks like a giant, guarding one end of the Tianji Continent.
The giant city is backed by the deep blue sea, which the world calls the Sea of Bitterness, which means the boundless sea of suffering. It faces a vast primeval forest with towering ancient trees and endless greenery. It faces hundreds of thousands of mountains in the east, with steep peaks and overlapping mountains. On the west side It is a swamp, a dangerous shoal, and an abyss of death that is said to be haunted by ghosts and monsters in the depths.
The city, except for the inner city which is classified as the imperial city, is divided into four urban areas: east, south, west and north.
Yu Hao, 16 years old this year, is a royal grain farmer living in Xicheng District.
Although he worked for the royal family, he was not given an official title, and it was futile to get him a knighthood. Even though he was eating royal food, his status was only slightly higher than that of a humble commoner.
Yu Hao belongs to the "Palace Department" of the Ministry of Civil Affairs of Fengtian City. To put it bluntly, he is a small official responsible for handling corpses.
This day.
Yu Hao arrived at the Department of Purity early, walked down the stairs, walked through the long and dark corridor, and arrived at the "Corpse Refining Room" of the Department of Purity, which is known as Fengtian's little hell.
The corpse refining room was opened a hundred meters underground. There was a dark wind inside, and a strong smell of decay filled the mouth and nose.
"Alas!" He sighed quietly as he looked at the mutilated corpses piled up all over the room.
The Department of Purity has multiple corpse refining rooms, and there are several corpse refining clerks, but he is the most depressed one, because he is responsible for the abandoned corpses that have not been claimed.
The owners of these corpses were either severely damaged after death, making it difficult for relatives and friends to identify them, or they were lonely and helpless people whose bodies were exposed for many days after death before they were discovered and brought here.
If you dispose of such a corpse, you will not only get no reward from the family, but you will also most likely encounter evil spirits or resentful spirits who cannot bear to die in vain.
However, due to the pressure of life, he had to continue his work with a monthly salary of three silver coins.
Compared with those common people who make a living by farming, his income is pretty good.
He took out a wrinkled and tattered classic from his arms. This was the "Holy Scripture" equipped by the Department of Purity and used to transcend the souls of the dead.
Yu Hao came to a headless corpse with a solemn expression and slowly opened the "Sacred Scripture".
"The light wipes out the darkness, the divine light shines on the world, the door to reincarnation opens, and the wandering souls have no love for the world..."
A lengthy mantra came from Yu Hao's mouth. He had been reciting this mantra for more than four years and had already memorized it by heart. However, he still held up the "Sacred Scripture" very seriously and chanted with his eyes slightly lowered.
As he chanted, a wisp of pure air slowly floated out from the headless corpse. After a slight struggle, it turned into little fluorescent lights in the sound of a scream, and gradually disappeared and dispersed.
With a sigh of relief, Yu Hao dragged the headless body into a black coffin. The black coffin was neither stone nor wood, but looked like a special kind of metal.
Four iron ropes of the same material were hung on the black coffin. I don't know what mechanism he pressed. With bursts of "quack...quack..." sounds, the black coffin was hoisted by the iron ropes and moved towards the center of the corpse refining room. Move away.
"Ka...ka..." there were two muffled sounds.
The ground in the center of the corpse refining room separated to the left and right, revealing a dark compartment the same size as the black coffin. There was a dazzling fire flashing in the dark compartment, and the temperature in the room suddenly increased a lot.
What is used in this corpse refining room is actually the fire of earth inflammation!
The black coffin slowly sank into the earth's flames, and the opening and closing ground closed, leaving only four iron ropes exposed.
Yu Hao did not stop, turned around and walked towards another corpse, repeating the previous work.
More than an hour later.
After sinking the last black coffin into the ground, Yu Hao, who looked exhausted, leaned against a corner and sat down. On the other side of the corpse refining room, there were still a large number of corpses piled up. It seemed that the work of refining corpses was also done.
Very hard.
After a while of burning incense, Yu Hao's body slowly slid along the wall and fell to the ground. He was breathing slowly and actually fell asleep in this cold corpse refining room full of decay.
Time passes bit by bit, I don’t know how long it has been.
Suddenly, a ball of white light appeared out of thin air. The light ball looked like clouds and fog, and its shape kept changing.
"I... I'm not dead yet? What kind of place is this? Could it be... could it be that I also imitated others... and traveled through time?"
A language that does not belong to this world came out from the light group. The sound seemed to be distorted by space, blurred, and the tone was psychedelic.
"Why is my body missing? Is it because of soul piercing? Soul piercing has to give me a body!" The voice was full of anger and dissatisfaction.
After a while.
Groups of light began to fly left and right, as if looking for something.
Suddenly, the light ball stopped at a place in the corpse refining room.
"Seller of cakes!...There are so many corpses! Let me take a closer look. I have to find a body that is majestic, handsome, elegant, wealthy, versatile in both civil and military affairs, high-end and luxurious, low-key and connotative. Otherwise, let me
How do you play with other worlds, and how do you live up to your status as a time traveler?"
The voice cheered with joy, and then flew up and down among the many corpses, searching for them.
"Nima! Fake! These bodies have either been dead for too long and have lost all their spirituality, making it impossible to settle in. Or they are missing arms and legs, ears and eyes. What a cheat! Young Master, my soul has traveled to another world, and I will not be disabled.
What will happen if you are not strong? I am not willing to accept it! How can the generation of geniuses who will dominate the mainland in bloody battles in the future be disabled? This is not what is written in the novel, and readers will not agree..."
The voice was full of sorrow, wailing feebly.
"Hey... there is a body over there in the corner."
The light group quickly flew towards the corner as if it had discovered a new continent.
"Alas! Although he is not very handsome in appearance and not strong in body, fortunately he is not old and has the potential to improve in the future. He is still much better than those corpses, that's all!"
The voice pondered for a moment, and after making up its mind, the light ball turned into a stream of light and penetrated into the body in front of it.
"hiss……"
Yu Hao, who was sleeping soundly, frowned deeply, with a trace of pain on his face.
When he woke up from his dream, a strange voice sounded in his head. It did not speak the language of Tianji Continent, but he could understand it clearly.
"Wow haha... Master, I finally have a body. Huh? Why doesn't my body obey its orders? Uh... maybe it hasn't adapted yet? Well, that's right! Doesn't the novel say that you can adapt after being comatose for a while?"
The voice comforted itself.
"By the way, before I pass out, let me see what golden finger I got after traveling through time!"
After the voice said something to itself, it fell into a brief silence.
"Photographic memory? It seems a bit useless. Wait... let me see again... I actually remember everything I saw in my previous life... novels... movies... music... comics..."
The voice kept listing some words that Yu Hao didn't understand.
"Wow... I've been bored by my boring job for more than ten years. Now I think about it, why did I make such a wise choice as a library book proofreader? God's will! Brother, I have proofread tens of millions of books.
I just glanced at it casually at first, but now it is completely imprinted in my mind! This is the rhythm of becoming popular. I want to be a writer, I want to be a star, I want to earn all the money in the world, I want to be
Rich man! Haha...I...I want to build airplanes! I want to build tanks! I want to rule the world..."
The voice cheered hysterically.
"Noisy! You want to rule this shitty world? I want it too! But I want you to get out of my head first!"
Yu Hao stood up holding on to the wall, shook his dizzy and painful head, and cursed sternly.
