Chapter 2 The world has been around for a thousand years
Li Yu didn't know that the "thousand-year drunkenness" left by Fan Wuhen in the Medicine Cave was an extremely domineering drug. It can make the poisoned person fall into a deep sleep state and his metabolism almost stagnate. After Li Yu fainted, several mechanisms in the Medicine Cave were triggered, and the entire stone chamber was completely closed, forming an oxygen-free space. Fan Wuhen's original intention was to use this method to preserve his body for thousands of years, but unexpectedly, Li Yu, who was buried alive, survived.
The moment when Li Yu woke up was in the early 21st century, 380 years passed since he was unconscious. The one who rescued him was an archaeological team from the Department of Archaeology of Yunjiang University. The archaeological team was led by Yang Ziyi and Liang Zhimei, professors of the Department of Archaeology. As for the two who were poisoned in the cave, they were Gong Zhenya, a doctor of the Department of Archaeology and Xu Yingying, a master of the Department of Archaeology.
Li Yu naturally didn't know about these situations. He only realized through the changes in the scenery and the costumes and equipment of the archaeological team members, and realized that the time he spent in the cave was not a day or two, or even a year or a half, but hundreds of years of changing times. The more he thought about it, he became more and more frightened and could no longer stay in the valley. He wanted to return to the camp of Hongmen Cangmudu, and see what his only home was now.
When he left the Medicine Master Cave, Li Yu took out all the medicinal materials that Fan Wuhen had hidden in the cave without hesitation. Now he was carrying so many things on his back. It was obviously extremely inconvenient to walk in a strange world with so many things. Li Yu turned his eyes and stared at the stone cliff beside the valley. He took out the hook and rope from his backpack, used the gecko technique to climb a cliff, found a small cave, and hid the medicinal materials and other objects. Of course, he wanted to bring the wooden box containing the Medicine Master's Sutra with him, and he still had a faint hope. If things were not as he thought, Han Zhi would still count on the secret recipe in this sutra to detoxify.
After removing the burden, Li Yu cleaned up himself. He hid the dagger in his backpack and wiped some soil on the backpack to make it look less conspicuous, and then embarked on the road out of the mountain.
The terrain of Cangmu Mountain has not changed much from that time, but the roads and trees have become unrecognizable. Li Yu left the Medicine Valley and embarked on a paved road. He didn't know what the world had become, so he didn't dare to walk on the road in a dignified manner, but hid in the woods on the side of the road. He walked along the way, the road signs, propaganda slogans, satellite TV antennas on the roof of the farmhouse, and cars flying by the way made him feel frightened. He began to feel a sense of postmodern melancholy - he had been abandoned by the times.
After walking for dozens of miles, a town appeared in front of me. Li Yu remembered that the town was named Mingxikou, an ordinary town in Cangmu Mountain. However, like other things that Li Yu remembered, Mingxikou today is very different. In Li Yu's memory, the town has only 40 or 50 households, and a small bluestone street runs through the entire town. From the beginning of the town to the end of the town, it is only a hundred steps away. Today, Mingxikou is two miles in a radius, with houses lined up and streets crisscrossing, and the population has increased by at least 20 times.
Looking at this town, Li Yu felt a little timid. Walking in the mountains and without contact with modern people, he could still find some sense of security. When he thought of going deep into the town and crowding with countless people, he didn't know what would happen.
As a professional assassin, Li Yu had extraordinary courage, but this courage was based on his ability to control the environment he was in. If he was still in the late Ming Dynasty, even if he was thousands of miles away, he would not have to worry about revealing any flaws, because the rules, conversation and incisions of that era were all familiar to him. Now, most of the things on the streets were not recognized by him, and what people said was full of mystery, how should he protect himself?
However, he also knew that he had to enter the town because his stomach had already sounded. He thought that the last time he had eaten, he had just eaten some dry food on the vermicelli Valley. Now, I don’t know how many years have passed, but he has not starved to death, which is a miracle.
No, he can't leave anymore. He must find ways to find food in the town so that he can have the strength to deal with various unexpected changes. Indeed, everything in this town is unfamiliar with Li Yu, and may even hide all kinds of dangers. But Li Yu knew that he could no longer avoid these, because if he wanted to survive, he had to face this strange world. This was the most difficult adventure in his career, which would challenge his ability to adapt and adapt as an assassin. He cheered himself up in his heart. No matter what, Mingxikou was also the place he had been to. With his wisdom and martial arts, he had always come and go calmly in and out. Could it be that he could not get through such a town with civilians?
Li Yu thought of making several different plans in his mind, then sorted out his clothes to make him look less embarrassed, and then he walked on the road with a slow pace and walked towards Mingxikou Town. The expression on his face was very calm, but the light from the corner of his eyes was vigilantly looking at everything around him, and his ears were also erecting, and he could hear the whispers of passersby around him clearly.
"Hey, this person dresses up strangely, why do you look like an ancient person..."
"I guess I'm a filming film, why did I come out in costume?"
"Stop guessing, this is the little Taoist priest from Sanqing Temple on the mountain. Look at his hair is real, not a wig."
"He is not wearing a Taoist robe..."
"The Taoist priests are not allowed to wear casual clothes..."
"Hehe, Taoist priest goes down the mountain, it's interesting..."
It turned out that there were still Taoist priests in this world, and Li Yu silently wrote it down in his heart. He had noticed that his clothes were completely different from those around him. In a hurry, he didn't have time to steal a set of clothes to change his clothes. If others could imagine themselves as Taoist priests on the mountain, then they would solve the doubts in their outfits and they could appear in the street market openly.
In fact, this is Li Yu's lack of understanding of modern society. In today's society, people's ability to accept various chaotic monsters is a hundred times stronger than that in the late Ming Dynasty. Not to mention that Li Yu appeared on the street wearing a costume from the late Ming Dynasty, even if he took off his clothes and ran around the street, everyone would just curse it with contempt and scold it with performance art. At best, take a few photos of his mobile phone and pass it on to his circle of friends, and would never treat such people as monsters and get rid of them quickly.
"The newly arrived 5S costs only 4,888 yuan, buy a mobile phone and get traffic!"
"Telecom contract machine, 399 yuan a year, free mobile phone!"
"Electric vehicles run 150 kilometers with full charge, and go up the mountain like walking on flat ground!"
“Newly arrived in the Caribbean hairy crabs, 50 per person!”
"You are my little apple, no matter how much you love you... Huohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuohuo
“…”
Walking on the street at Mingxikou, all kinds of noises came to your face, and your eyes were filled with eye-catching modern goods. All kinds of bizarre neon signs made Li Yu feel urge to vomit.
An ordinary town is so prosperous. The people on the street are all dressed brightly and have a rosy face. They look like they are very rich in life. The stalls are filled with various goods, and the number is so large that they are simply beyond the largest southern goods merchants in the capital. What kind of prosperity is this!
Li Yu walked in the crowd with a surprised mood, unable to see all kinds of drunkenness.
Of course, Li Yu's main purpose is to find food. There are many restaurants on the street, and the food stalls on the roadside are also one by one. Various delicacies are tempting. However, Li Yu observed that when people buy things, they use a banknote with an old man's head printed on it. Occasionally, coins are used, and the style is very different from the copper coins in Li Yu's arms.
