Illusionist in American comics

New book, from doing one good deed a day to slaying a dragon with ease.

Fan fiction is still out of control, and it is very easy to add too many of your own ideas, causing the original story line to begin to fragment.

This time I will try the very beginning story.

The following are scraps written before, no need to read them.

Qingbai County, located under Yong'an County, Huaizhou, is a relatively peaceful first-class county.

This kind of peace is even more rare in today's chaotic and strife-ridden Kyushu.

In April of the 458th year of the Dajing calendar.

Outside the city wall of Qingbai County, a group of young and strong men are repairing the city wall and thickening the city gate.

"Be quick in your movements. The county captain has ordered that the repairs must be completed today."

"Anyone who cheats or cheats should think about it himself"

"Don't blame me for being stupid when the time comes."

After speaking, a government official in official uniform waved the long whip in his hand and carefully inspected the quality of the repaired city wall. Any unqualified areas would be repaired again.

After hearing this, everyone did speed up a lot, but some people murmured quietly.

"He made 30 Wen in one day, how fast can he think of it?"

"Who says it's not the case, but I heard that the army of King Jiwutian was coming, so I took the time to repair the city wall."

"I heard about it too. I hope the other party won't come over."

"Stop talking, that black leather guy is here."

The low-pitched discussion of several people was silenced by a look from the government servant. Next to a few people, a young man was working hard to carry stones. At the same time, he heard the conversation of several people and was thoughtful.

The young man looked very thin. Unlike the dark-muscled peasant man next to him, the young man's skin was very fair and he did not look like a coolie.

At this time, the exposed skin was also flushed red by the sun, but the boy kept moving, even if he was panting, he still carried out the movements in his hands.

It wasn't until sunset and the work on the city wall was finally completed that the young man walked up to the government officer with uncontrollably trembling legs.

"Xiao Yu, I told you not to come. Look at your legs. They are trembling more than my old man."

The young man smiled helplessly after hearing this, and then took the coin handed by the other party.

"Are you going to subsidize the family income? I'm leaving Brother Jun. Let's go to the teahouse and listen to books together when we have time."

"Okay, be careful on the road."

Watching the young man leave, Ye Jun shook his head, thinking that the young man would feel uncomfortable when he got up in the morning.

Then the payment of today’s wages began.

Even though this person had been strict in supervising the work just now, he paid out wages quickly at this time and did not deduct money from others because of his status. Some of the hard-working people were even given a little more.

On the other side, the young man was walking home, looking at the pork shop that was still selling pork, touching the money bag in his arms, and then walked into the shop.

"Uncle Fang, here's a pound of pork."

But with a response from the other party, the boy stopped taking out money.

"40 Wen! Wasn't it 13 Wen before?"

"There is no way. If you want to blame it, just blame King Yan. Who let him occupy Gucheng County? The pigs can't be sent here. This is the last one."

In the end, the boy had no choice but to buy three taels, while calculating what else he could buy with the remaining money.

"Hey, a penny can't help a heroic man."

The young man's name is Shang Yu. He comes from an ordinary family and has an ordinary appearance. He is thrown into a crowd and can't be distinguished at all.

But he is very good at handling interpersonal relationships, and he can get along well with both government servants and vendors.

Next to the earthen stove at home, Shang Yu was preparing the last dish. He looked at the sky and estimated that his parents would be back soon. After all, today is his father's birthday.

I originally wanted to make a cake, but when I thought about it, this was not my previous life, and the cake probably could only appear in my dreams.

Fortunately, I had a few steamed buns at home, so I made do with them.

Shang Yu's family is not that poor. Shang Yu's father, Shang Li, is the accountant of Huichun Building. His monthly salary is five yuan, which is equivalent to thirteen kilograms of pork.

Her mother, Sun Qiaohua, works as a cook for the Li family, a wealthy family in the county, and earns six dollars a month. Together, the two of them earn more than one tael, which is pretty good.

Shang Yu put the last dish on the plate and brought it to the table, just as the door outside happened to ring.

When Shang Li walked into the house, he looked at the food on the table and was stunned for a moment, then he felt something incomprehensible.

At the dinner table, Shang Li was using a needle to pop the blood blisters on Shang Yu's hands, which were left while repairing the city wall during the day.

"I know you want to surprise dad, but there is no need to build the city wall. After all, you are a scholar."

Shang Yu looked at the sky, murmuring in his mind why his mother hadn't come back yet, and responded in his mouth.

"Given the current situation, is there any use in studying?"

These words left Shang's father speechless to refute. It is true that the Great Scenery itself cannot be protected now, and rebellions are raging across Kyushu. Reading this book will change nothing.

In the past, the status of scholars was indeed higher, but it is useless in these troubled times.

On the contrary, the status of those warriors who were called reckless men soared, especially the martial arts hall under the command of King Yan, which gradually became famous. Each of the warriors in it could compare with one to a hundred.

While the father and son were talking, there was another sound of the door latch outside the house. The two looked at each other and knew that the woman was back.

Then as expected, a well-built woman walked in, holding a food box in her hand.

The merchant's food tonight was extremely rich. While celebrating Shang Li's 40th birthday, Sun Qiaohua and Sun Qiaohua each shared a piece of good news.

Among them, Shang Li, who has been working as the accountant in Huichun Building for 20 years, was finally promoted today. Since the previous manager was transferred, he was replaced as the manager of the building, and his status was greatly improved.

The same is true for Sun Qiaohua. After working as a cook in the Li family for more than ten years, she finally became the head chef. Not only that, she was also rewarded with ten taels of silver alone.

"My promotion to manager was all due to the notes Xiaoyu gave me. The workplace tips above are very useful."

After speaking, Father Shang stroked his beard gently. He knew his son's abilities. If it weren't for the bad years, he would be a county magistrate in the future.

"Indeed, my ability to become a chef is all due to the recipes provided by Xiaoyu. This is why I am appreciated by Young Master Li. From now on, my monthly salary alone will be three taels!"

Sun Qiaohua was very strong, nicknamed Liu Chi Cook, and her cooking skills were as good as those of the hotel chefs Shang Yu had seen in his previous life.

Shang Yu just smiled shyly at the two people's compliments, and then took out a homemade birthday cake, and the birthday celebration was about to be completed.

In the courtyard of a long-term merchant.

The moonlight is bright tonight, and there is no cloud in the sky. Shang Yu and his father drank tea and looked at the sky, talking simple homely words.

"Don't do menial work in the future. You have been weak since you were a child. If you get tired and get sick, you won't get better."

Father Shang said seriously.

Shang Yu nodded, and then said as if he thought of something.

"By the way, father, have you heard about my sister?"

"not yet"

Shang Yu is the second eldest son in the family, and he has an older sister.

But this eldest sister went out to work as an adult, and there was no news for so many years. The merchant also asked many people to inquire, but no news came.

"Don't think about Shang Ying. Life or death is fate. Just take care of the present."

Sun Qiaohua walked out after cleaning up everything in the house. She no longer had any illusions about the daughter she had not seen for a long time.

At night, Shang Yu read for a while and then extinguished the candle. He walked to the bed with his still aching legs and sat there in silence.

It has been sixteen years since he came to this world. From the moment he opened his eyes, the familiar world was no longer in front of him.

In this world there are emperors, princes, unfamiliar languages ​​and family members who rely on each other.

He prefers the present to the chaos of his previous life. Although the quality of life has dropped a lot, he is very happy and satisfied.

"It would be better if there was a peaceful era"

When he first arrived, Shang Yu also wanted to make a fortune relying on the knowledge in his mind. The recipe of soap, refined salt, gunpowder, and liquor had been turned over in his mind several times.

But when he understood this era, he realized that everything was a delusion.

The Dajing Dynasty is a powerful dynasty that has existed for more than 400 years, but powerful countries always decline.

At the end of the dynasty, Emperor Jingshou who succeeded to the throne was fatuous and immoral. He loved villains and distanced himself from virtuous officials.

With the blessing of every evil and corrupt behavior, the loss of national power becomes more and more serious.

Finally, six years ago, the Wang family in Liangzhou rose up to establish themselves. Although the Wang family was eventually wiped out, it also laid the foundation for future disasters.

Since then, there have been countless self-reliant people in various places, pushing the already approaching end to the cliff again.

In such an era, Shang Yu could only keep a low profile as much as possible. If he really took out those things to sell, his family would settle down at the bottom of the river the next day.

"Hey, Bai Wuyi is a scholar, he should have started practicing martial arts at that time."

But Shang Yu just thought about it. He had been weak since he was a child. Let alone practicing martial arts, he would be out of breath after walking for a long time.

Fortunately, Shang Li was from Huichun Building, and Shang Yu's body was stronger after years of medicine.

The moonlight is getting thicker. In this era when there are few entertainment activities, sleep has become the best night activity.

Putting his hands on his chest, Shang Yu was not sleepy tonight, his thoughts were a little messy, and then he felt a little hot in his chest.

When he pulled back the quilt, he discovered that a ray of golden light was emanating from under his clothes. When he saw the luminous object clearly, his hands, legs and feet were shaking a little.

At this moment, an illusory jade plaque slowly appeared, and a tether attached to it fell from Shang Yu's neck to his chest. When Shang Yu picked it up with both hands, several lines of text appeared on it.

[Meng Xia first entered the army, the martial arts master’s family background improved, he received a high-level variable, and he passed on Bajiquan]

Then a ray of light went straight into Shang Yu's forehead, and before he could react, a bunch of messy memories appeared in his mind.

Then, before he could think about it, another text appeared on the jade plaque.

[Sixteen years have passed, the future of the martial master is unknown, the storm is about to change, he will have good luck, and he will pass on the martial arts to the twelve levels of the golden bell]

It was still the familiar light, but this time it was much larger. The golden light instantly enveloped Shang Yu's entire body, and he was also unconscious in a burst of violent pain.

And in this light invisible to ordinary people, Shang Yu also ushered in a transformation.
