This is a boy about fifteen or sixteen years old. Although it is late autumn, he only wears a dark blue shorts.
He wears two dark blue cloth wristbands on his wrists. Looking at the color and material of the cloth, it makes people feel that the wristbands and the jacket were originally one piece, but it became this style because the sleeves were torn.
.
The young man's face was full of sunshine. His messy hair was randomly tied into a ponytail on the back of his head, and there was a yellow cloth belt tied in the middle of his left arm.
Huang Xiaoshi didn't need to look at him a second time. This person was the [protagonist] in the original game: Dongfang Weiming.
Huang Xiaoshi stood up in an instant. No, he was not waiting for Dongfang Weiming, but for another important person, a storyteller-Xu Ziyi.
Huang Xiaoshi didn't care anymore, he wanted to have a showdown with Xu Ziyi: I don't want to play anymore, let me out.
There are two people in this world who must not be offended, and that is the Xu brothers.
However, Huang Xiaoshi didn't want to start a war to accuse him. He just wanted to talk to Xu Ziyi politely and made a clear statement to him: "Your game is very good and the immersion is great. But I don't want to play it anymore. Please let me go immediately."
Walk.
Otherwise, believe it or not, my father’s legal team will directly sue you for illegal detention and sue your company until it goes bankrupt!”
Huang Xiaoshi believes that everyone is a civilized person. Since I have mentioned the legal team, you should also know that "I" am a person not to be trifled with.
As long as you can let me go, everyone will be happy, and maybe I can even ask dad to invest a billion or so in you.
However, the two Xu brothers can no longer be described as elusive. They only appear at important plot points, and the characteristic of important plot points is that [the protagonist] Dongfang Weiming must be present.
Dongfang Weiming has arrived, where are the Xu brothers?!
Huang Xiaoshi suddenly stood up and looked around. He looked around and saw no one waiting.
The anxious Huang Xiaoshi left the tea stall, took up Qinggong and ran wildly along the narrow village road in Dukang Village.
Dukang Village is very small. Within a few minutes, Huang Xiaoshi had already circled around and returned to the tea stall.
No one was found.
Huang Xiaoshi suppressed the anxiety in his heart and stood there thinking quickly about what was going on.
"Wow, Master Huang, I didn't expect your kung fu to be so good!"
Huang Xiaoshi, who was thinking with his eyes closed, heard the voice and opened his eyes to take a look. The person who spoke was the aunt selling breakfast and herbal tea.
After Huang Xiaoshi relaxed his face and smiled at his aunt, he suppressed his uneasiness and walked quickly out of the village.
"Auntie, what can I do to fill my stomach?" Dongfang Weiming came to the breakfast stall and said politely to the breakfast aunt. He only had a dozen pennies in his pocket.
Dongfang Weiming is an optimist, and he doesn't care that he stopped eating after eating this meal. In the eyes of a young man, the world is always full of opportunities.
After a while, a large plate of steamed buns and a bowl of warm coarse tea were brought up, and Dongfang Weiming devoured them.
…
Huang Xiaoshi was walking towards the outside of the village. There were many people coming and going along the way, but there was no one who looked like a scholar.
what happened?
Am I wrong?
People's brains become more active when walking, and Huang Xiaoshi is thinking quickly.
First, could I be mistaken? In fact, this is not a game, but a real world that is very close to that game.
Huang Xiaoshi is already very familiar with concepts such as parallel worlds, main universes and mirror universes. His first reaction is to determine which kind of world he has.
Many people may find this strange. Whether it’s a game or the real world, you’re already here anyway. Why can’t it just happen in a while?
No, there is a big difference here.
Intuitively speaking, it would be easier to travel through time into the game.
After all, the game has program limits. No matter how it changes, it cannot escape the most basic scope of the script. Moreover, the logic in the game is simpler. 1+1 must equal 2, and 2-1 must equal 1.
The real world is full of chaos and uncertainty, with so many random events and variables that human intelligence cannot predict and estimate.
After thinking for a while, Huang Xiaoshi could only come to one conclusion: it was impossible to determine.
Huang Xiaoshi is still not sure whether this is a simple game or a data world similar to what Teacher Jue has experienced.
Second, why did the Xu brothers not come?
Huang Xiaoshi quickly thought of three reasons:
One, they were late.
Two, they don't exist.
Third, the script has changed.
The possibility of the Xu brothers being late should be zero. At least Huang Xiaoshi has never heard of the GM (game manager) being late for key plot points in the game.
Second, do the Xu brothers not exist?
The answer is no, at least one of them is active in this world.
After traveling in the world for so many years, Huang Xiaoshi has made friends with many people in the world. Although these people may not have high martial arts skills, since they are people in the world, they naturally know a certain amount of gossip.
Huang Xiaoshi heard from many people that Jianghu Baixiaosheng appeared frequently. No one knew where he came from, and no one knew where he went after that. Anyway, Jianghu Baixiaosheng would appear every once in a while.
A storyteller in a tea shop or restaurant somewhere tells all about the most secret affairs of the world at the moment.
This Jianghu Baixiaosheng is the Xu family brother. I just don’t know whether it is the eldest brother Xu Ziyi or the younger brother Xu Ziqi, but what is certain is that the Xu family brothers are still active in this world.
Then, the most likely thing left is that the script has changed.
After asking for information from different people, Huang Xiaoshi integrated all the information and coupled with his own foresight, he reconstructed an extremely astonishing fact.
Fifteen years ago, the six major sects had a fierce battle with the Tianlong Sect when they besieged Perak Hall.
After three days and three nights of fighting, both sides suffered heavy casualties.
However, a sudden earth-shattering disaster destroyed all life within a hundred miles, and all the elites of the six major sects and the Tianlong Sect were wiped out.
The aftermath of this fierce battle is still lingering.
First of all, the tragic casualties in this fierce battle can be said to be unheard of since ancient times.
Huang Xiaoshi didn't know about the situation on the Tianlong Sect, but the six major sects in the Central Plains were directly separated for a generation or two.
Secondly, the six major sects and the Tianlong Sect have become an endless blood feud.
This triggered many things and laid the foundation for future turmoil in the world.
Huang Xiaoshi found that this was very similar to World War I and World War II.
Someone has concluded that World War II is the continuation of World War I, and World War I is the root of World War II.
This sentence is also applicable here.
However, the high point in the whole tragedy was the earthquake. Everyone thought it was a natural disaster, but Huang Xiaoshi knew that it was probably not.
Because no earthquake can happen within a hundred miles radius, nor can an indescribable giant crater be formed after the earthquake.
This kind of crater is more like a giant crater formed after a meteorite fell, but no one saw the star fall that day.
Knowledge limited the imagination of the ancients. Everyone could only think of the power of nature, and no one imagined in the direction of "human power".
Xiao Xiami can defeat the top ten masters with one punch. This is the greatest imagination of people in this era.
Teacher Saitama can blow up the earth with one punch.
As the most powerful GMs in the world, the Xu brothers should be somewhere in between.
According to Huang Xiaoshi's inference, the reason why the Xu brothers violated the rules (GM is not allowed to interfere with the game process) and caused a large number of casualties was that there is only one truth: those in the martial arts world discovered the door to the temple.
The gate of the church is the door to travel through. Huang Xiaoshi didn't know what it looked like, but he knew that the other side of the door of the church was his hometown.
After those martial arts people discover the door of the temple, they will definitely approach it out of curiosity, and may even stop fighting and try to make contact.
Once these people are exposed to the door of the temple, an extremely serious "reverse time travel incident" will occur, that is, people from another world will travel back to the "real world".
As the GM, the Xu brothers' first duty was to guard the gate of the temple. In desperation, someone punched the place where the temple was and directly hit the underground palace of the temple.
Collapsed.
Yes, if we follow this line of thinking, wouldn’t it be...
Doesn’t it mean that I can’t go back?
No, no.
Huang Xiaoshi reorganized his thoughts. I remembered that the gate of the temple was not destroyed, and the Xu brothers even brought people back to the real world.
Yes, the underground palace of the Holy Church is gone, but the Xu brothers carried the Holy Church door and ran away. Now, they are probably the only two people who know where the Holy Church door is.
The current situation is that the Xu brothers are still active in this world. Well, the question is, why didn't the two of them come today?
You know, today is the first scene of the game. It is such an important plot point. As the GMs, the Xu brothers have to come and watch this to avoid various uncontrollable events.
To put it simply, [protagonist] Dongfang Weiming was hacked to death at the very beginning.
unless.
Unless the game has already started, today is not the first act.
A flash of inspiration flashed in Huang Xiaoshi's mind, and he suddenly remembered that the [player] in the game was himself, wasn't he?
That is to say, this game has officially started at least when I traveled back in time, and it has been [in progress] for six years now!
Thinking of this, Huang Xiaoshi suddenly realized that, by the way, not only the Xu brothers, but also those guys who were originally going to give welfare tasks to Dongfang Weiming's newbies, he didn't see any of them.
The old beggar Hong Riqing.
Taoist Guo who sells real elixirs.
There is also the drunkard monk Wu Dian who wants to eat bear's paws.
Wait, all the NPCs didn't come, only Dongfang Weiming came.
Suddenly, Huang Xiaoshi noticed that many people behind him were running towards this side in a panic. He stopped a middle-aged man carrying a load of goods and asked him: "Brother, what happened? What are you running for?"
"Run! Thirteen Wild Geese are here!" The middle-aged man said to Huang Xiaoshi in a panic, then he pushed Huang Xiaoshi away and flew forward with the load on his back.
No one who was supposed to come came, and the plot actually started.
Huang Xiaoshi's heart suddenly tightened. What a tragedy. Could it be that his senior brother didn't come either?
Then, doesn’t Dongfang Weiming really want to be hacked to death?
Huang Xiaoshi activated his skills, raised his inner strength and ran towards Dukang Village.
…
"The wild goose bandits are coming!"
Dukang Village, which was originally bustling with people and bustling with people, was frightened by this cry, and those who were resting, setting up stalls, and carrying burdens all panicked and ran away.
This is also the norm in the current era. Although the world is peaceful, banditry is rampant.
First, the government's control capabilities are really limited. In many cases, committing crimes is actually a low-cost job, especially for recidivist criminals.
They committed a crime in place A, and then fled to place B overnight. It was basically equivalent to switching a large area. Everything in the past was cleared, and they continued to commit crimes and escape again.
As long as God tolerates me, that is, as long as I don't get the imperial court's paperwork, then I'll be fine.
Even in the sea arrest documents, there are ways to change one's appearance. In the era without facial recognition, it was very easy to simply change a person's appearance.
Under such circumstances, the government can only ensure public security in cities and towns, and is basically laissez-faire in rural areas.
Of course, this does not mean that rural areas are power vacuum zones.
In the countryside, the order of daily life is maintained by local clans or village elders, and in terms of force, martial arts people provide protection.
The martial arts world is not black and white. In fact, there are a lot of gray sects, such as the Black Tiger Hall who was invited by Wang Er to support the show.
These sects don’t care whether they are good or bad, they just do what they are paid to do.
But these gray sects also have their own bottom line. It is unrealistic to ask them to help the old lady cross the road all day long. Similarly, if they are asked to do something that is harmful to nature, they will refuse.
This kind of gray is the mainstream color in martial arts.
The reason why gray exists is that the most important factor is not fairness and justice, the conscience of heaven and earth, but the leadership and deterrence of the righteous path of martial arts.
The righteous way of martial arts has absolute suppressive force, and they have the responsibility and obligation to kill the black scum and bandits.
In this way, if you offend the government, the worst you can do is to squat on a hill and build a stronghold, and even hundreds of officers and soldiers will not be able to get in.
If you offend an upright martial arts sect, they can send any first- or even second-generation disciples to massacre your entire village.
Although this is a world with low martial arts, the martial arts value is enough for ordinary people.
This is the second question.
Because the six major sects laid siege to Perak Hall fifteen years ago, the casualties were too heavy. Many sects lost an entire generation or two of their disciples. The vitality of the six major sects was severely damaged. This has led to the martial arts world being in a state where good does not suppress evil for more than ten years.
Case.
Just like today, a dozen or so bandits can scare a whole village into panic and send them fleeing in all directions.
By the time Huang Xiaoshi ran to Dukang Village, no one could be seen in the village.
Everyone in the village hid in their homes, all the outsiders had fled, and many goods were still placed on the village road and there was no time to collect them.
Huang Xiaoshi ran to his stall. He saw that the land was clean and the two men were already carrying goods and money. He didn't know whether they had escaped or were hiding in the villagers' houses.
Before Huang Xiaoshi could take a breath, he heard a woman's loud scream coming from the end of the village.
