Chapter 1 Break through the shackles and advance to the ninth rank

In the Dayin Dynasty, the capital, the Imperial City Sizhao Prison.

Gu Shen opened his eyes and saw the darkness, with the stale air in his breath, and the faint sound of wailing and grievances came to his ears.

In front of him was an Eight Immortals table covered with cuts and smudges. A dried butter lamp was lit on the table. Through the light, Gu Shen lowered his head and took a look. There was a big circle drawn on the chest of the poor-quality blue and white cloth, and in the circle was written The word - "prison".

"This is?" Gu Shen was surprised.

At the same time, there was a sudden throbbing pain in his mind, Gu Shen's face was pale and he was sweating profusely.

He suddenly discovered that there were many strange and familiar memories in his mind.

After sorting out his memory, Gu Shen understood his situation. Although it was difficult to accept, the throbbing pain in his head from time to time told him that he had really time-traveled.

"Damn, I'm so stupid, how could I do such a dangerous thing?!" Gu Shen was annoyed.

In his previous life, he met his girlfriend who had just been dating for two weeks to go to the playground. The girlfriend wanted to go bungee jumping, so she took Gu Shen with her. Confused, he was tied up with a jumping rope by the staff, and then pushed by someone behind him, Gu Shen jumped off the platform.

Gu Shen saw the rope snap with his own eyes, and after that, he lost consciousness, and when he opened his eyes, he came here.

From the received memories, Gu Shen knew his current situation, a pawn in the Sizhao Prison of the Imperial City of the Dayin Dynasty.

There is no need for a reason to kill in a troubled world, but it is necessary when the chaos is not yet in chaos. The duty of the Imperial City Secretary is to collect charges.

There are rumors in the market that it is possible to get out after entering the sky prison, but it is definitely impossible to get out alive after entering the imperial prison of the Imperial City Division.

To Gu Shen's surprise, the body after time travel was also named Gu Shen, with the same name and surname. In this life, Gu Shen's father was a prison guard. This kind of low-level official basically inherited his father's career. After the death of the original owner's father, The original owner inherited the iron rice bowl passed down from his ancestors.

The prisoners in the imperial prison are either dignitaries or masters of the rivers and lakes. Last month, a sixth-rank martial arts master was captured by the Imperial City Secretary. During dinner, he made a sudden attack, wounded the original owner, and attempted to escape from the prison, but the prison was heavily guarded. A governor of the imperial city and three generals were always stationed in the prison to prevent someone from robbing or escaping from the prison.

The sixth-rank martial arts master was beaten to death on the spot.

Although the original owner was not deliberately targeted, the sixth-rank martial artist has already stepped into the ranks of second-rate masters. He is enough to make a name for himself in the entire arena. Just an ordinary palm will kill half of the original owner's life. After a month, the internal qi of that second-rate expert finally caused trouble in his body, and the original owner died.

It's the same, Gu Shen just crossed over.

"hiss."

A needle-like pain came from Dantian, and Gu Shen couldn't help but let out a low growl.

At the corner of the dark passage, a jailer poked his head out and looked over, with a concerned tone, he said, "Little Gu, is there another internal injury? If it doesn't work, take a vacation with Captain Ma and go home to recuperate for a few days. "

The jailer who spoke was Zhang Chenggong. He was about 40 years old, with dark skin and a slender build.He has a good relationship with Gu Shen's father, and after Gu's father died of illness, he took good care of his successor, Gu Shen.

"Okay, I see, Uncle Zhang." Gu Shen said.

Gu Shen raised his hand and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand, his face was pale, his calves were trembling, he was thinking that he really should take a leave of absence and find a way to heal his internal injuries, otherwise he might die again.

The Imperial City Division was established at the beginning of the Dayin Dynasty. Now more than two hundred years have passed, and the power of the Imperial City Division has been varying during the period. When it was large, its power was not restricted. It supervised the world and its power was only under the imperial power.When I was young, I hid in the dark, watching with cold eyes, only waiting for the emperor to activate it again.

Today is the time when the power of the Imperial City Division has reached its peak. The Yuan Dynasty is eyeing it outside, and the internal rebels are everywhere. The world is in turmoil. It is quite a scene of the end of the dynasty. The imperial power is threatened.

The establishment of the Huangcheng Division is one Huangcheng Division envoy, with an official position of the third rank, but the power is overwhelming, and the actual position is higher than that of the three princes.There are two town governors under the imperial envoy, namely the partial general, the school lieutenant, and the small flag.

In the imperial prison, the governor is usually not seen, and the general will not be disturbed by ordinary things. If Gu Shen wants to ask for leave, he needs to find Captain Ma.

Gu Shen and Zhang Chenggong, the lowest-level jailers, are actually not counted in the Imperial City Division’s system, and are still under the jurisdiction of Xiaoqi. People, ordinary things are not difficult.

Gu Shen didn't sit on the table of the Eight Immortals, which is only for the captains and Xiaoqi, he could only stand leaning against the wall of the cell.

"I have to find a way to heal the internal injuries on my body first, otherwise I will die again. I guess I won't be so lucky to travel through next time."

Gu Shen took a look at the surrounding environment. It has been more than two hundred years since the imperial prison was established. Although it has been repaired and repaired in the middle, it has been tortured all the year round.It is humid and dark, bacteria breed, viruses spread, living together with snakes, insects, rats and ants, the conditions are extremely poor.

"We must find a way to resign from the unlucky job of the jailer as soon as possible. Working in this environment, the cheap father who died of illness is an example. It is difficult to live long. However, this matter requires more preparations. After all, the outside world is more difficult. One mistake, maybe my life will be lost." Gu Shen thought in his heart, "The most urgent thing is to find a way to recuperate the body first, and get rid of the stubborn internal energy left in my body by the sixth-rank martial arts master."

"how should I do it?"

Gu Shen doesn't understand internal qi, but the original owner knows something. From the memory received from the original owner, Gu Shen knows that the original owner also has some background. His father once paid the original owner to go to a martial arts gym to practice martial arts, but the original owner's talent is too poor. After several years of Chi Yan Gong, but has never entered the rank of nine.

The world divides martial arts into nine ranks, the ninth rank is the lowest, and the first rank is the highest. Only when you reach the ninth rank can you truly enter the threshold of martial arts.The ninth, eighth, and seventh ranks are called the lower three ranks, and they are collectively called the third-rate masters; the sixth, fifth, and fourth ranks are the middle three ranks, and they are second-rate masters; First-class master.

And after the first rank, there is also the realm of the legendary Xiantian Grandmaster, but this is too illusory, at least in the memory of the original owner, there is only one Xiantian Grandmaster in the Dayin Dynasty.

After thinking for a while, Gu Shen had some thoughts.

"According to the knowledge I learned in the martial arts school, there are three ways to get rid of the internal energy in the body."

"The first method is to take medicine. Buy a large tonic, use the effect to slowly offset the internal energy, and relieve your own injuries at the same time. However, this method takes effect very slowly, and it may take several years or even longer. During the period, I do not know how much pain I will suffer , and the cost is so high that I simply cannot afford it, this method can be preliminarily ruled out.”

"The second method is to ask a second-rate expert to use his own internal energy to guide out the residual internal energy in my body. However, it is also very difficult to implement. I am just a small prison guard. Where can I find a dignified second-rate expert? In the Imperial City Division , A master who has reached the third rank is at least a partial general, and I can't even meet him, let alone ask someone to save me at the risk of being recoiled by the internal energy."

"The third method is that I can easily get rid of these residual internal forces in my body by cultivating to the sixth-grade master level. Well, this method is too whimsical and the most unreliable."

After much deliberation, Gu Shen still thinks that the second method can be tried. The world is so big, and it’s not only the Imperial City Division that has second-rate masters. At worst, the ancestral house will be sold, and a second-rate master will be hired for a lot of money. The original owner is not willing to sell it. Losing the ancestral property, but Gu Shen can't think about it so much, as long as he can survive, there is nothing he can't do.

But now in this world, the house is not worth much, besides selling the ancestral house, he probably needs to find someone to borrow money, just thinking about it, Gu Shen felt a little overwhelmed, felt that God let him travel through time, purely to embarrass himself.

At this time, a movement came from the corner of the passage, interrupting Gu Shen's thinking. He looked up and saw Zhang Chenggong approaching. Zhang Chenggong came to Gu Shen and asked, "Little Gu, are you okay?"

Gu Shen coughed twice, feeling that his bones were getting weaker after being tossed by the internal energy flowing around in his body, and said with a wry smile: "Uncle Zhang, I can hold on for a while."

"Oh." Zhang Chenggong sighed. He had promised Gu Shen's father that he would take good care of Gu Shen. Now seeing Gu Shen's life-threatening appearance, he felt uncomfortable.

"It's time to deliver lunch to the prisoner, let's go." Zhang Chenggong said.

Gu Shen nodded, followed behind Zhang Chenggong, and walked towards the prison's kitchen.

Zhang Chenggong reminded Gu Shen as he walked, "Little Gu, you have to be careful. I don't think the prisoner in Room C[-] can survive for a few days, but that kind of martial arts master has some tricks. It is not difficult to bring someone to be buried with you before you die."

Gu Shen's spirit was shaken when he heard the words, and ordered the prisoners in the prison to either have extraordinary identities or extraordinary skills, he had to learn from the original body's lessons.

Gu Shen followed Zhang Chenggong to the kitchen to get the prisoner's lunch, carried the rice bucket, and began to deliver food to the prisoner. Although it was the first time to do these things, he still had the memory of the original body in his mind, so he didn't feel strange.

According to the different prisoners, there are also different rules for delivering food. For those prisoners who have the will to die or have been tortured to the point of immobility, Gu Shen will directly pour the porridge into their mouths with a spoon.For most of the prisoners who still had hope of survival, Gu Shen used a spoon to scoop out a spoonful of porridge from the bucket and poured it into the white porcelain bowl in the cell for the prisoners to drink by themselves.

When he came to Cell No. [-], Gu Shen frowned, thinking of Uncle Zhang's reminder in his mind.

Gu Shen patted the fine iron railing with the thickness of the child's arm with a spoon, looked at the prisoner with the lute bone pierced inside, "It's time to eat."

After Gu Shen finished speaking, he realized that something was wrong. The prisoner in the cell did not respond, his legs were crossed and his head was bowed, motionless.

"You won't die?" Gu Shen frowned.

According to experience, this person should be dead, but Gu Shen dare not be careless.

He scooped a spoonful of porridge from the rice bucket with a spoon and threw it on the prisoner vigorously to see if the prisoner would respond.

The prisoner remained motionless with his head bowed.

Suddenly, Gu Shen's eyes blurred, and the surrounding environment gradually blurred, only the prisoner wearing the lute bone hung his head, and then, he saw traces of black air emerging from the prisoner's body, slowly flying towards this side.

Gu Shen was shocked and suspected that there was a conspiracy. Before the prisoner was imprisoned, he was a seventh-rank warrior. Although a seventh-rank warrior is nothing in the imperial prison, he is not an ordinary person after all, so he may have some trump cards.

Gu Shen turned around and wanted to escape, but the black air was extremely fast, before Gu Shen could move, it floated in front of him and landed on Gu Shen.

When the black gas fell on Gu Shen's body, Gu Shen obviously felt that his body had changed, a very thin air flow rose in his body, and his whole body was warm and comfortable.

After the surrounding environment returned to normal, Gu Shen felt the stream of air in his body and was stunned on the spot.

"Is this internal gas?"

"The shackles that have trapped the original body for many years, just crossed over like this?"

Gu Shen could feel that there were two strands of internal energy in his body, one was left by the former sixth-rank martial arts master, and the other just appeared in his body.

This newly emerged inner qi is actually slowly repairing the original damage in the meridians.

"According to the division of martial arts levels in this world, I can now generate internal energy on my own, so I can be regarded as a ninth-rank martial artist or a third-rate master?"

"All these changes seem to be caused by a trace of black air rising from the prisoner just now."

"The original body has never experienced this kind of encounter. It seems to have appeared along with my time travel."

"Traveling benefits?"

Gu Shen's eyes gradually brightened, as if a broad road appeared in front of his eyes.
