I changed the world

"Yeah, I originally wanted to go hiking, but I almost got stuck on the mountain..."

Chapter 14 Big Events

"Who would have thought? This Yuxian Mountain is actually a volcano..." The driver couldn't help but shake his head after hearing this.

"Master, are you here to deliver goods?"

"Yes, I delivered it to the canteen on the mountain. I encountered this situation just after delivering a batch of goods. I have to run away quickly...poor my car..." I heard the crashing sound like fried beans one after another on the car. , the driver grimaced in distress.

"In this case, it's good if people can come out. Damn it... Master, be careful!" At this moment, a volcanic rock the size of half a car was directly bombarded like a cannonball thrown by a medieval catapult. In a bungalow on the right side of the vehicle, only a loud noise was heard, and the entire house collapsed like a broken eggshell.

Fortunately, the driver was also experienced. Instead of stopping, he stepped on the accelerator and rushed over first.Some of the collapsed houses directly blocked the road behind the vehicle, forcing the vehicles behind to stop and clear the roadblock.

After this sudden situation, the two of them did not dare to talk anymore. The driver carefully looked around and accelerated all the way until about 10 minutes later, he saw that Yuxian Mountain was getting farther and farther away, and the volcanic scoria in the sky had already disappeared. The sparseness almost disappeared, and the two of them gradually relaxed.

After chatting for a while, Zhang Jing discovered that he was really lucky. It turned out that this truck driver was a veteran before he started this job, and his position before retirement was in a military region in the southwest. The cars even drive transport trucks. No wonder the various arrangements along the way are very appropriate.

At this time, we had walked out of the mountainous road and the vehicles were on the main road. However, the sky was already as dark as night. All the passing vehicles had their headlights on, and many of them had double flashing lights.

Occasionally, police cars with flashing lights can be seen speeding away in the opposite direction.At this moment, a low sound like rolling thunder was heard behind him. This sound temporarily covered up all the surrounding sounds, including police sirens. At the same time, the ground was also shaking slowly, and Zhang Jing hurriedly turned to Looking back, he saw that right at the top of Yuxian Mountain, a large piece of golden-red magma was erupting from the top of the mountain like an explosion. It looked particularly eye-catching against the background of the dim sky. The accompanying large number of sparks made him can't help but Reminds me of the fireworks during the New Year.

After the lava sprayed into the air, it fell down again, and then flowed down the slope of the mountain, like a red river.

And where the river flows, large swaths of flames begin to rise along with more intense smoke, which is because the forest is ignited.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Jing knew that he no longer had to worry about an issue that he had been a little worried about before.That is, will the place where I discovered the opportunity be discovered by others?Now it seems that the rushing magma should bury all the secrets.

"What's wrong? What happened again?" The driver couldn't look back because he was driving, so he asked Zhang Jingdao.

"The volcano has completely erupted, and the magma has flowed down." Zhang Jing sighed and said, "If there are people who haven't escaped yet, I'm afraid they will be in trouble."

"Pay attention, I'll speed up the car again..." After hearing this, the driver didn't say much, but pressed the accelerator deeper...

Without stopping all the way, the driver drove the car back to the urban area of ​​Linzhou. After entering the urban area, the two people in the car obviously relaxed a lot. It was already about [-] kilometers away from Yuxian Mountain and had already escaped the influence of the volcano. range.

However, due to volcanic ash and other volcanic materials, the sky in Linzhou City is still gray and looks like dark clouds, but it is not as if it has entered night in the area around Yuxian Mountain.

Zhang Jing got off the bus near a bus stop and said goodbye to the driver. This place is about 4 stops away from the slum area where Zhang Jing lives, and can be reached by electric bus.

At this time, the streets of Linzhou were obviously a little more tense than usual. The red light sprayed into the sky when the volcano erupted, and the mountain fire caused by the lava, made half of the sky red.It is clearly visible even in Linzhou City.

Many people stopped and looked to the west, and some people were whispering on the street.There were more police cars and fire vehicles on the streets than usual. Zhang Jing had seen several waves of convoys speeding towards the west.

When Zhang Jing arrived at his rental house, it was already around 16:00 in the afternoon. After closing the door, he took off the backpack on his back and put it on the desk. Then he couldn't help but open his arms in a large font. Fell back on the bed.

At this time, he finally relaxed completely. For a moment, he felt sore all over his body and almost wanted to fall asleep.

About 5 minutes later, Zhang Jing, who finally pulled himself together, took his mobile phone and ordered a takeaway for himself, and then took off his mountaineering clothes. The mountaineering clothes were now dusty and covered with scratches. , fortunately the quality is pretty good and it didn’t break directly.

Zhang Jing took the washbasin and went out to get a basin of water and scrubbed his body. Only then did he find that there were several wounds on his body. One of them was on his knees. The knees of his pants had been worn through at some point. , the breach on the knee has even scabbed over.There is also a tear on the edge of the palm of the left hand, which has also become scabbed.In addition, other parts of both hands have varying degrees of abrasions, and the shoulder of the right hand seems to be strained. As long as the movement range is slightly larger, there will be some dull pain.

Fortunately, there should be no problems with other parts of the body.Zhang Jing is not a person without sports experience. He found some alcohol in the medicine box at home, debrided his wounds, and then applied iodine. He also used iodine on two relatively serious wounds. Gauze was bandaged.As for the strained area on his right shoulder, he put two bruise plasters on it.

After taking care of the wound, Zhang Jing sat on the edge of the bed, waiting for the takeaway to be delivered, while scrolling through his phone to find the latest information today.When he opened the news client of Endless.com, a pinned message marked as "Emergency News" immediately caught his attention:

According to Zhaotong News Agency's report on its website at 10:30 on October 15, today, a large number of volcanoes in different regions erupted at the same time around the world.These volcanoes simultaneously showed signs of violent eruptions at around 30:2015 a.m. on October 36, 10 (the 30th year of the Great Zhao Dynasty), and erupted one after another in a short period of time thereafter.According to the information currently available, most of the erupting volcanoes were previously considered extinct volcanoes that were unlikely to erupt in the short term, and several volcanoes have never recorded an eruption in history.According to statistics, a total of 11 volcanoes have been erupted so far, covering all continents around the world. The losses of people and property in various places are still being counted.The cause of this abnormal major geological event has not yet been determined, and many experts in related fields have expressed different views on it.We will continue to follow up on this for you...

Chapter 15 I just want to ask: Can you live forever?

After reading the news, Zhang Jing sat on the bed and froze for a while. He realized that the impact of his wish seemed to be much greater than he imagined.What made him feel even more uneasy was that although his wish had come true, for him, there were more unknowns that needed to be explored.

Thinking of this, Zhang Jing slapped his head and remembered that he still had one wish that he had not yet confirmed.Busy, he summoned the wish book again and looked at it carefully. The last wish he had left before had indeed been fulfilled.

Wish: I make a wish that I will leave here smoothly and safely and return home.

The wish has been fulfilled

Deduct 3000 wishing points.

He closed the wishing book and looked at the back cover. Currently, there were only 32613 wishing points left, which gave Zhang Jing a slight sense of urgency. It seemed that he had to find a way to increase his wishing points as soon as possible.

Taking a deep breath, Zhang Jing carefully reviewed today's experience in his mind.

Soon, some questions arose, although the 20000 wish points consumed seemed to be a large number.However, compared to what he had previously imagined, such a huge transformation from a world of pure technology and no magic to a world of coexistence of technology and extraordinary things seemed a bit too easy.

Could it be that this world is actually a world with extraordinary existence, but I don't know it, and my wish this time is wrong and consistent with certain realities?

Zhang Jing licked his dry lips and thought about his wish for today:

"The world I am in now used to have the inheritance of some high-level extraordinary powers, but now they have disappeared for unknown reasons..."

Perhaps, this world is really not simple to begin with...

There was a knock on the door. Zhang Jing put away the wishing letter and went to open the door. It turned out that the delivery person had arrived. After thanking him, he took the delivery. For dinner, Zhang Jing specially ordered some high-protein eggs and meat to go with it. Eating the right amount of pasta and vegetables can help promote your body's recovery.

After finishing dinner, Zhang Jing packed the lunch box and put it at the door, preparing to accumulate some other garbage and then take it to the trash can far away to throw it away.

After that, he used his mobile phone to log into the "Dr. Fang" APP client, which is currently one of the largest housing agencies in Dazhao.Zhang Jing previously rented the house where he currently lives and found it through an agency here.

This time, Zhang Jing was planning to change to a better place to live. Since he no longer had to worry about financial problems for the time being, Zhang Jing had no plans to continue to wrong himself.Besides, having traveled from a middle-class family in his previous life, he was really not used to such a cramped life.

After browsing through the client for a while, he chose a senior intermediary with a high praise rate. Zhang Jingbo made a phone call. After some communication, he described his needs to the other party. The other party immediately agreed to find a house that met the requirements for him, and Tell him that the search information will be sent to his mailbox at his request.

After that, Zhang Jing didn't do anything else. Instead, he washed up early and went to bed. The energy he spent all day today pushed him to the limit both mentally and physically. After all, he is still an ordinary person now, so he I decided to take a rest early and adjust my condition.

The next day, when he woke up early in the morning, Zhang Jing felt that his whole body was sore, especially his right arm. The severe soreness made him dare not even make too big movements.

This is the sequelae of excessive exercise yesterday. It seems that his body is still too weak. He must strengthen his exercise in the future. Zhang Jing sighed inwardly.He picked up his phone and looked at it. It was currently six o'clock in the morning. Since he traveled to this world, he has maintained a good living habit of going to bed early and getting up early. Currently, his biological clock has become accustomed to this kind of work and rest state.

After getting out of bed, Zhang Jing did some simple joint exercises to spread his body, and the pain in his body was relieved.After that, he cleaned the toilet bowl according to his usual habit, and then went to fetch water to complete his grooming.

After finishing washing up, Zhang Jing decided to go out and buy breakfast. This body in the recovery period still needed some nutrition. Zhang Jing remembered that there was a breakfast stall selling meat buns not far from home, and the taste was very good.

After leaving the door, Zhang Jing looked up at the sky. The sky was still gloomy at this time, but the red light reflecting the sky in the west had disappeared. The volcanic eruption must have ended.However, looking at the current weather, it might rain heavily in the future.

While thinking about it, I walked forward and heard what seemed to be mournful cries not far away, accompanied by the faint sound of chanting scriptures.Out of curiosity, Zhang Jing heard the sound and looked for it. He walked along the side street and turned a corner. In front of him was the tailor shop where Zhang Jing had repaired his clothes before. From a distance, Zhang Jing saw a group of people gathered around and talking. Many of them are neighbors who live nearby.

Walking closer, Zhang Jing saw a small shed made of white plastic film set up in front of the tailor shop. There was a big black word "Dian" on the shed, and the sound of chanting was already very clear. Apparently there are Buddhist monks performing rituals inside.

"Uncle Jiang, isn't this the tailor shop of Mrs. Yu's family? Who has passed away?" Zhang Jing approached and observed for a while, and couldn't help but ask a middle-aged man who was familiar to him in the past.

"Sister-in-law Yu is here, she left suddenly last night." The man sighed and shook his head: "You said, people are so fragile, and they will be gone after just saying goodbye... ugh..."

Zhang Jing's heart sank, and he looked at the white shed silently, listening to the low sobs coming from inside. He still clearly remembered the scene when he went to Mrs. Yu to mend his clothes a few days ago.I have lived here for many years, and I am quite familiar with Aunt Yu. Sometimes if I drop a button or something, Aunt Yu will replace it without any charge.Thinking like this, I couldn't help but sigh.

"Brother Jing, if you don't have any taboos, why don't you go burn a stick of incense? It's a last-minute farewell to Sister Yu." Seeing Zhang Jing's downcast expression, Uncle Jiang said from the side.

"Yes, yes." Hearing this, Zhang Jing nodded, straightened his clothes, and walked into the memorial shed in front of him.

Kneeling on the ground in mourning robes to thank relatives and friends was Mrs. Yu's daughter. She was a very quick girl in the past. After graduating from junior high school, she worked at home to support the family. Now she was kneeling there and bowed or kowtowed when people came in. Otherwise, she just cried. .

Standing on the other side was Yu Sao's husband, who looked numb and gray at this time. For him, Yu Sao's death not only lost his partner, but also the family's financial situation. Huge changes have occurred, which is a very heavy blow to the honest and dull middle-aged man.

After taking the incense he handed over and bowing three times in front of the soul, Zhang Jing stepped forward and inserted the incense into the incense burner. After thinking about it, he took out a 100 yuan note and handed it over.

"Uncle Yu, I apologize and accept the change."

"It's too much, it's too much, it doesn't make sense..." When the man saw the money, he instinctively pushed it back. After all, his family and Zhang Jing were just acquaintances. Generally, when funerals are held in slums, white envelopes are given, usually to a person. 10 to 30 yuan is enough. After all, everyone is not rich, and only those who are very close to you will give more.

Zhang Jing didn't say much and put the money into the man's hand: "Sister-in-law Yu is gone. There are still many places for you to use your money. We are all neighbors, so don't refuse."

"This... Xiaolan, please thank you, the eldest brother of the Zhang family."

Xiaolan on the side thanked her softly, and then bowed deeply. Zhang Jing hurriedly stretched out his hand to support her.

........................

Zhang Jing bowed his hands to the father and daughter again, bid farewell to them and left the funeral shed. This was the first time since he came to this world that a familiar person had passed away, and he did have a lot of feelings in his heart.

Somehow, a sentence he saw in a novel from his previous life flashed in his mind:

"Even if you have thousands of spells and supernatural powers, I only ask: 'Can you live forever?'"

........................

Chapter No.16 Strange text?!

After coming out of Mrs. Yu's house, Zhang Jing first went to the breakfast shop and bought a few meat buns and ate them with beef vermicelli, and then returned to his rental house.

Sitting down at the desk, Zhang Jing opened his mobile phone, pulled up the photo album, and pulled out the text in front of the skeleton that he had photographed in the cave yesterday.After that, I took a pen and paper and carefully traced the characters in the photo, trying to be as accurate as possible.

It took Zhang Jing about 10 minutes to copy this text onto paper.There is no doubt that this is a type of writing that he does not recognize, but judging from the glyphs, it should be a hieroglyphic writing, not an alphabetic writing.

As a lover of traditional culture in his previous life, Zhang Jing was naturally no stranger to the evolution of his country's writing. But for this kind of writing that seemed vaguely familiar, coupled with speculation about the origin of the skeleton, Zhang Jing I guessed that this was most likely some kind of writing that had been used and spread in ancient times.

Speaking of ancient characters, the characters in this world are relatively similar to Zhang Jing’s previous life. As the mother body of Eastern culture, the evolution of Dazhao’s characters has been in the same vein since ancient times, including hieroglyphs, divination scripts, bird and insect scripts, seal scripts, official scripts, running scripts and regular scripts. A clear chain of inheritance.

In fact, the writing methods of many characters after seal script are somewhat similar to modern characters. As for the characters after official script, if they are not particularly uncommon characters, an educated modern person can basically understand them.

Therefore, Zhang Jing decided to focus on pictographs, divination and bird and insect inscriptions first.Of these three types of writing, even the Niao-Chong script, which is the closest to modern times, is at least about 1000 years old.Fortunately, due to the development of archeology and the study of epigraphy and seal carving, as well as the good preservation of traditional culture, there are a large number of scholars in Jokhang who study or love ancient characters, and their research on ancient characters is also more in-depth than Zhang Jing's previous life. .

Zhang Jing did some research on the Internet and found a comparison table of ancient and modern characters that someone compiled and posted online.It has to be said that this is the convenience of the Internet age. If it were 20 years ago, he might have to go to the library to find relevant monographs.

After some searching, the bird and insect characters were excluded, and Zhang Jing did not find any corresponding characters.After that, he turned to Bu Wen...

This time, the harvest came quickly.About half an hour later, he was so excited that he was able to confirm that this text should be written in divination.The inscriptions are named after a batch of ancient inscriptions that were accidentally discovered during an archeology a hundred years ago.According to current research, it is believed that inscriptions already have a rigorous writing system that can clearly express the meaning of an article.Because of the development of cryptography, some commonly used words can be cracked for this kind of text.

After about an hour of translation, Zhang Jing compared all the words that could be translated. Although some words could not be translated due to the lack of corresponding tables, the general meaning was clear.

"The catastrophe suddenly came, and Dongtian was attacked by the evil god's family members. After the disciples fought to the death, Yu only escaped with his body and fled here with his hair injured. He knew that the end was coming, but he couldn't bear to have the sect's dharma lineage cut off. He was ashamed of all the ancestors. …”

There are about a hundred words in the whole article, of which less than ten words cannot be translated. I can roughly guess it based on the context, so it does not affect reading.This should be a masterpiece written by a monk who calls himself "Yu". It is full of self-blame and despair, which made Zhang Jing read with pity.

"Dongtian", "Evil God", "Dharma Meridian"... Zhang Jing chewed on these words, his thoughts were churning in his heart. He realized that the pool of water he had created seemed to be deeper than imagined...

Putting down the paper in his hand, Zhang Jing once again took out the jade medal he just got yesterday. At this time, using the lamp on the desk, he could observe the jade medal more carefully.The jade tablet is made of sapphire. It can be seen that the texture is very good, oily and dense, and it is cold to the touch. The corner of the jade tablet has a dark green color. I don't know whether it is natural or because blood dripped on it and became bloody over time.The front of the jade tablet is embossed with a traditional style palace building in a liberal style, while the back of the jade tablet has four characters, which are also divination inscriptions.

Zhang Jing flipped through the word list and translated these four characters, which were "Lishan Dongtian".

It seems that the so-called opportunity should be on this jade medal, but how to get it?Zhang Jing stretched out his hand to rub the word "Dongtian" on the jade plaque. In the culture of Dazhao, "Dongtian" generally refers to the famous mountain resorts where the immortals in Xuanmen live. There are even ten famous mountains in Dazhao. .

Based on the last letter he just translated, Zhang Jing guessed that the so-called cave heaven should refer to the place where the sect practices.

So, does this jade medal mean... Zhang Jing had some speculation in his mind.

He stood up. Before the test, he still had to make some preparations.Zhang Jing put on yesterday's hiking clothes, hiking shoes, tactical dagger and other clothes and equipment again, put on his backpack, and then picked up the jade medal again.

In fact, there were not many test plans to choose from. Zhang Jing combined his experience of reading online novels in his previous life and chose the plan that he thought was the most likely, and that was - blood!

Zhang Jing poked a small incision on his index finger with a dagger, squeezed out a drop of blood and dripped it onto the jade plaque.

The blood that fell on the jade plaque was absorbed like water droplets falling on a tissue. Immediately, Zhang Jing felt that he had some strange connection with the jade plaque.And at the next moment, a strong suction force came from his hand. Zhang Jing was shocked and felt as if he was being sucked in by an irresistible force...

In just two or three seconds, Zhang Jing's rental room became empty, with only the lamp on the desk still emitting soft light.

........................

Chapter No.17 The mysterious ruins

"Hoo Chi, Hoo Chi..." Zhang Jing gasped as if he had woken up from a nightmare, his forehead covered with cold sweat.

Just at that moment, he felt that he was being dragged in by an irresistible force. Then, the surrounding space suddenly collapsed and shattered into countless colorful pieces.The crystal fragments sputtered in all directions, glowing and flipping, and the speed became slower and slower, until they were completely frozen in nothingness. At that moment, time seemed to have stopped.

He stands in the empty dark nothingness, but he will not fall.He has feelings, vision, and hearing, but he cannot control even the tiniest set of muscles in his body. The half-scream that he had not yet finished was stopped in his throat. In a few seconds, he felt A suffocating depression.

Suddenly, the scattered glass-like fragments began to move again, reaching unimaginable high speeds in an instant.Their own crystal light formed countless swirling lights, like a wild storm, sweeping across the entire dark and void space.

When the light slowed down again, it rearranged to form a clear scene, but it had a rippling effect as seen through water.The trembling finally stopped, and then Zhang Jingcai regained control of his body. I have to say that this experience was not pleasant.

The location where he is now is in the ruins of an ancient building. Collapsed pavilions, dilapidated halls, and ruined walls can be seen everywhere around him. The scene reminds him of the ruins of the Great Water Method of the Old Summer Palace that he visited in the capital in his previous life.

However, the buildings here are obviously much older than the Old Summer Palace, and it is unknown how long they have existed. Zhang Jing can see that some of the exposed wooden structures have almost become petrified.

The place where Zhang Jing was standing at this time should have been a square or the like. The ground was paved with some kind of hard stone material. Zhang Jing stamped his feet vigorously, without any shaking, and it was extremely strong.However, this seemingly solid ground was covered with marks that looked like cuts with knives and axes. Some of them were immersed into the ground to an unknown depth, almost cutting the entire square into several pieces, and some looked like... It is not known what caused the huge crater, which was like a bomb hit.

There are some collapsed buildings on both sides of the square. Among them is a tower-like building that was broken into two parts, as if it had been split by some sharp blade.

You can see some scattered corpses on the ground, and now only the skeletons are left. Some of these skeletons are humanoid, while others are weird monsters. At least Zhang Jing can be sure that these are definitely not creatures on the earth.Most of the skeletons of these creatures are ferocious-looking, and their bodies are covered with bone spurs and the like. Unlike the bodies of creatures on earth, which generally exhibit a symmetrical beauty, many of these creatures' bodies seem to be pieced together and look abnormal. deformity.

Zhang Jing looked at the sky. There was a purple night sky in the sky, with the bright moon hanging high, and a bright star river crossing the sky in the night sky. It looked beautiful and shocking. This was a starry sky that gave him a certain sense of transparency. He stretched out his hand and felt as if he was connected to the sky. Even the stars were within reach, which was completely different from the night sky he was used to seeing in the city.

Between the ruins, the light is dim. It is obvious that it is still night here.

Zhang Jing clearly remembered that it was already daytime before he came here. So, it can be guessed that this place and Linzhou may not be in the same world, at least not in the same time zone.

There was silence all around, showing a kind of stillness. Everything seemed to be frozen there, except for the occasional breeze.Zhang Jing raised his hand and called up the compass function of his watch. He saw that the compass was spinning aimlessly and at a constant speed. It seemed that there were no north and south magnetic poles here.

The palms of his hands were slightly sweaty. Zhang Jing paid careful attention to his surroundings, while subconsciously lowering his body. At the same time, he took out the tactical dagger, held it in his hand, stepped lightly, and carefully explored forward.

Because of the light of the stars and the moon, Zhang Jing was able to basically see the surrounding scene clearly after adapting. Therefore, he did not take out a flashlight to shine. This was also to prevent alerting some possible dangers.
