The peaceful harbor is about to face the killing of the giant mouth.
In the inn in the deep mountains, delicious roast pigs are fumigated.
On the land full of darkness, beastkins and demons are rampant and plundering, endangering the world.
Numerous exorcists thus appeared.
The burly man uses the tiger form.
The sword fairy with dark circles on the eyes,
The ring of the girl in white,
There was also that ignorant boy with 300 nursery rhymes…
…
“Ouch… my head hurts! Is it because of that big slap that my landing crashed?”
Fang Linyan grinned and covered his head, trying to sit up.
But the morning sun shining through the gaps in the bamboo fence made him a little dizzy. He fell asleep again.
He looked around and found that he was completely naked. His back was full of sweat. A pair of ancient diaper pants around his waist.
The inside of the house was very simple. The pillars were bowl-sized tortoise-shell bamboo. The walls were a layer of dilapidated and gray bamboo fence.
The floor was tied together by a large number of bamboo poles arranged side by side.
The bed was covered with a bamboo mat. There was even a big hole in the center of the mat that was so shiny that it was slept on, exposing the blackened bed board underneath.
Next to him was only a bamboo chair with half of the back remaining and a wooden table.
There was a half-cut bamboo tube on the table, which seemed to be used to hold water.
Behind the door, there was a dusty fish basket, half a black fishing net, and a few fishing rods. It was obvious that the owner of the house was a fisherman.
Fang Linyan struggled to sit up, and he suddenly felt his bed shaking, which made him think there was an earthquake.
But soon, a fat woman with a standard cube body size passing by the window made him understand where the source of the earthquake was.
When Fang Linyan came to the window, he saw that he was in a fishing village.
This fishing village seemed to be gathered by the same big clan.
The people of the village built a huge 6-story bamboo building on the water that near the hillside.
This bamboo building covered a water area more than 100 meters long.
At this time, Fang Linyan was living on the second-floor bamboo building quite far from the water. Looking around, he could see the vast river bent at the corner and flowed slowly toward the distance.
At this time, the morning sun shone on the river. It was so brilliant that Fang Linyan couldn’t open his eyes.
At this time, Fang Linyan found that the doors and windows were still shrouded by an invisible force and could not be opened at all, probably because the world had not officially started yet.
Suddenly, the entire bamboo building shook again. Someone shouted and cursed,
“Ah Hua!! Don’t jump around upstairs!”
With this shaking, the bamboo tube on the dilapidated table fell down, the clear water flowed out and formed lines of characters on the table.
Contestant ZB419, welcome to this adventure world.
You have a preset identity in this world, and relevant memories and experiences will be automatically loaded into your mind.
Please find the key person: Zhou Zhuo to initiate the Ascension Trial within 24 hours.
These characters quickly submerged into the wooden table and disappeared completely.
There was a knock on the door soon, and then a thick voice sounded,
“Xiaoqi! Still lying on the bed? Remember to go to the county to invite the monk. Ah Qi and the others didn’t go to the water for 2 days, so we can’t wait any longer. The drowned ghost is still looking for a substitute near the village!”
Fang Linyan vaguely agreed, then he felt a lot of necessary memories belonging to the original owner flooding into his mind.
He squinted his eyes to digest these memories for a while, then put on his clothes and pushed open the door.
The river wind swept away the stuffiness in the room. He strode among the people coming and going, but these people were quite indifferent to him.
Even after passing by, people were faintly saying vicious words like ‘Why are you still not dead?’.
Hostility comes from interests and hatred of the rich.
The story was actually quite simple:
The fishing village was called Fang Family Village, and the person Fang Linyan replaced was called Fang Xiaoqi.
He lost his mother since he was a child. His father, Fang De, was domineering by nature and even had a job of butchering pigs. Later, he got acquainted with the county government servants, so he opened a gambling house in a collective house in the village.
Of course, opening a gambling shop must be ruthless, so Fang De had offended many people.
In addition, Fang Xiaoqi usually relied on his father’s money and influence to act arrogantly, which made him unlikable.
Half a year ago, Fang De died suddenly, and the gambling house was taken over by government servants.
After the pillar of the family collapsed, Fang Xiaoqi could only get drunk.
As a result, he stumbled and fell into the water and was frightened. After finally getting up, he became seriously ill.
At this time, the people in the village not only didn’t visit him, they directly started to seize the opportunity to divide the 3 fishing boats and 6 acres of land that Fang De left behind.
Unexpectedly, half a month ago, Fang Xiaoqi, who was at the brink of dying, miraculously came back to life.
After recovering, Fang Xiaoqi basically had no savings, so he went from door to door to claim the properties he should get, but he was being brushed off by everyone.
In the end, the patriarch actually scolded him, saying that it was such a trivial matter that the clansman borrowed something, so why did he make such a big fuss?
Fang Xiaoqi refuted, but the 2 sons of the patriarch immediately rushed in and beat him up.
Luckily, he ran fast, otherwise these 2 bastards would kill him…
Since then, Fang Xiaoqi finally understood his situation and began to earn a living by fishing honestly, but he was just putting up a show. In fact, this kid was also full of evil ideas…
***
All these matters emerged in Fang Linyan’s mind, but it was as if springs passed over rocks without leaving a trace.
He recalled the journey and walked directly into the county, but he definitely wasn’t going to invite the monk.
It was because Zhou Zhuo who initiates the Ascension Trial was in the county seat.
This guy was chubby, had a naive look, and walked with a limp. He usually ran errands in the escort agency and was responsible for keeping accounts.
His hobby was gambling.
So if he wanted to find him, there were only 2 places, the escort agency and the casino.
Fang Family Village was not close to the county seat, but it was not far away too. It took about 3 hours for ordinary people to walk there.
But for Fang Linyan, he would of course act unscrupulous. He planned to go to the road and find someone to “borrow” a horse to ride.
For him, he was just a passerby anyway, so he didn’t need to pay too much attention to it.
Unexpectedly, less than 2 miles away from the entrance of the village, 2 people emerged from the forest in the corner.
Fang Linyan took a closer look and saw that it was the patriarch’s 2 sons, Fang Xiong and Fang Chui.
In Fang Xiong’s hand was a jujube wooden stick as thick as his wrist, and behind Fang Chui was a hunting bow.
They had obviously been waiting here for a while.
Fang Chui smirked and said,
“Xiaoqi, come over. I have something to talk to you.”
If it was the previous Xiaoqi, he would have run away, then Fang Hammer would have shot him in the back with an arrow.
But now Xiaoqi was replaced by Fang Linyan. He didn’t really want to cause trouble, but if trouble came to him, then he didn’t mind doing a favor for the original owner.
So he smiled and said,
“Great, I also have something to tell you.”
Then he followed the two of them into the woods.
The 2 brothers looked at each other with joy in their eyes. They let Fang Linyan walk in front, and the 2 of them blocked the way of retreat from behind.
Then Fang Chui removed the bow from his shoulder and said arrogantly,
“Xiaoqi, do you know what I want to tell you?”
Fang Linyan shook his head and said,
“No idea.”
Fang Chui sarcastically said,
“Fourth Brother gave Witch Han 2,000 yuan, and she said everything. You bought a yin qi talisman from her and put it on Ah Qi’s fishing boat.”
“That’s why Ah Qi and the others would encounter water monkeys when they were fishing at night, and they were almost drowned by this monster. How dare you say that it was the drowned ghost who came to find a substitute.”
Fang Linyan smiled and said,
“Well, you got 1 thing wrong. The fishing boat does not belong to Ah Qi at all, but it was left to me by my father.”
“And the 2 acres of land you occupy now are also my property.”
“Bullshit!!” Fang Chui’s eyes almost burst into flames.
“Back then, the money I lost in your dead dad’s gambling house was more than 2 acres of land. This is just some interest!”
Fang Linyan said sarcastically,
“10 gambles and 9 cheats. I won’t say that the gambling house was clean, but you are just stupid for being cheated.”
“Now I’m too lazy to argue who is right and wrong. Isn’t this still comes down to who has the bigger fist?”
Before he finished speaking, Fang Xiong had already raised his jujube wooden stick and swept over.
Fang Linyan was a little careless at first, but when he heard the wind from the wooden stick, he felt something was wrong! It was surprisingly fierce!
