"Sure enough, I have traveled through time again and am younger. This feeling is... really wonderful." In front of the bronze mirror, a man looked at the slightly blurred reflection of a familiar yet unfamiliar face in the water, and reached out to touch it.
He touched his cheeks, then looked at his rosy palms, and said to himself.
This person is Chen Kui who came from time travel.
In the world of Water Margin, Chen Kui spent more than ten years to dominate the world. Under Chen Kui's governance, the country's power was booming and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. However, compared with the rapid development of the country, Chen Kui's skills have not made much progress. Perhaps it is
Because he had no opponent, or perhaps because his skills had reached the pinnacle of the Water Margin world, no matter whether it was fighting on the battlefield or practicing hard in seclusion, Chen Kui could not achieve his wish. It took him sixty or seventy years to develop not only Gang Jin, but also Hua Jin.
Perfection has not been achieved.
Although the vitality of heaven and earth in the Water Margin world is richer than that in Ip Man's world, although Chen Kui has entered the realm of Huajin Grandmaster, and although Yin Yang Grinding, Body Forging Technique, Heng Lien Kung Fu, and Bone Forging Technique have all been practiced to a relatively advanced level by Chen Kui, magical powers are difficult to achieve.
The number of enemies is number of days, birth, old age, illness and death are number of days. Aging of the body is inevitable. Even if his own strength remains unchanged, his body is getting older day by day. The kind of aging that is like spinning threads also makes Chen Kui feel scared.
Now that he has a healthy and energetic body, Chen Kui feels so incredible. This feeling of rejuvenation, this feeling of vitality all over his body, is really indescribable.
Chen Kui looked at his dark right hand, which was exuding a black halo. There was a layer of cocoon at the tiger's mouth, and there were three crisscross scars on the palm, old and new, which should have been injured by a sharp blade. His right hand was clenched into a fist, and the joints made a crackling sound.
This body is already full of skills.
"He was originally a man of the world!"
"Could it be that my previous complaints have worked? This time I am no longer a powerless scholar." Chen Kui suddenly laughed and said. In the world of Water Margin, Chen Kui once complained about the Book of Martial Arts, Ye Wen and Water Margin.
Every world asked him to start as a scholar, which made Chen Kui very helpless. He didn't expect that in this world, he would start as a warrior.
From this point of view, it seems that the Book of Martial Arts is not as unhuman as imagined.
"Chen Kui, the chief of the third squad in Hancheng County, is also the temporary county captain. He can still hold the position concurrently. Why does it feel weird? This world seems a bit chaotic. In the fourteenth year of Hongwu, was Zhu Yuanzhang?" Chen Kui murmured to himself.
He said that he immediately looked through the memories of the original owner. Maybe he had just traveled through time and had not yet integrated them perfectly. Many of the memories were in chaos.
It is now the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty. This era name makes Chen Kui subconsciously think that the reigning emperor is Zhu Yuanzhang, but in fact, the reigning emperor is not Zhu Yuanzhang, but Zhu Yuanzhang's son Zhu Biao, and the history that Chen Kui knows,
no the same.
In the real world history, Prince Zhu Biao died before Zhu Yuanzhang, and Zhu Yuanzhang passed the throne to Zhu Biao's son, the emperor's grandson Zhu Yunwen, also known as Emperor Jianwen. Later, Zhu Di raised an army, launched the Jingnan Campaign, and moved the capital to Beijing, with the reign name Yongle.
But in Chen Kui's memory, in this world, after Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty, he made his capital Nanjing and named his reign Yingtian. He died of illness after ten years of reign. Prince Zhu Biao legitimately inherited the throne and named his reign "Hongwu".
"Forget it, let it be chaos. No one said that time travel must be to travel into the history of the real world. A small butterfly flapping its wings in South America can set off a storm, let alone a human being.
, maybe just because someone sneezed more, history will be different, who knows." Chen Kui shrugged and didn't care much. He was not a history expert, and his understanding of the Ming Dynasty was limited to a few.
Is it important whether TV series follow history?
Not important at all.
"Martial Arts Heaven..."
"Dong dong dong..."
Chen Kui was about to try to summon the culprit who caused his time travel - the Book of Martial Arts, but was interrupted by the rumble of drums coming from the front hall, and someone beat the drum of injustice.
It is necessary to mention that the mysterious gas that appeared after completing the task of "defeating Zhou Tong's two disciples" was still wrapped in the Book of Martial Arts before Chen Kui left the Water Margin world. It is not known whether it followed him to this world.
Hearing the sound of drumming, Chen Kui opened his mouth, but still didn't say the last word. He grabbed the waist knife on the table and said to himself: "Forget it, let's go to work first. Anyway, the martial arts book is so confusing."
, there’s no point in looking at it anymore.”
Chen Kui was worried that the gas would disappear and he would be disappointed.
In front of the hall, the official brought the drummer to the table. The man was probably in his fifties. Judging from his clothes, he did not look like a farmer. His expression was hurried and his face was covered with sweat.
"What's your name? What grievances do you have? Why are you beating drums to complain?" Chen Kui stood beside the case and asked.
No matter how he said this, it was not Chen Kui's turn to speak. After all, Chen Kui was only a county captain and the head catcher of the third squad, not the county magistrate.
But no matter what, the top magistrate of Hancheng County died, and the second-ranking county magistrate also died. As a result, Chen Kui now has the highest official position in Hancheng County and has become the de facto top leader, not to mention the county captain.
He is in charge of criminal and judicial matters such as arresting robbers and public security. No one has any objections to what he said.
The man quickly said: "The villain's surname is Ma, and his name is Youde. He lives in Wanchang, ten miles west of Hancheng County. His family has several houses. Because there are few people and many rooms, he opened an inn. Last night, two people came
The merchants, who claimed to be from the capital, passed by this place and wanted to stay in this shop because it was getting late. Seeing that they were passing guests, the villain allowed them to stay. This morning, when it was getting dark, the two of them left.
But I didn’t expect that at Chenshi, Dijia Liu En suddenly came to the shop carrying two corpses.”
"Corpse?" Chen Kui frowned when he heard this. He didn't expect that he would encounter a murder case just after he came to this world. This welcome gift is a bit special. Although Chen Kui is not a superstitious person, this did make Chen Kui feel ominous.
With a premonition, Chen Kui felt almost instinctively that this was something unusual.
"Dijia Liu En said that the two corpses found at the entrance of the town were the two guests who stayed at the villain's house last night. He said that the villain was motivated by money and killed them. He killed them and then dragged them away.
When he went to the entrance of the town to destroy the body and eliminate traces, the villain did not allow the villain to distinguish it, so he moved the body to the villain's shop, threatened him, and asked the villain to pay him three hundred taels of silver before he would cover up the matter for the villain.
Otherwise, it will be concluded that the villain removed the corpse and wiped out all traces."
"The villain is in a hurry, so he comes to the government to ask the boss to avenge the villain."
