Time Travel: The Survival of Li Zhi

Li Zhi opened his eyes suddenly, his heart beating wildly.

Suddenly, Li Zhi felt as if someone was staring at him, and he quickly looked up.

He saw Immortal Master Liu looking at him with a gloomy face.

"What's wrong?" Li Zhi asked, with some surprise and doubt in his voice.

Master Liu looked at Li Zhi deeply, shook his head without saying a word, then turned and left.

This made Li Zhi feel a little puzzled and bewildered.

But I still felt relieved. The dream I just had was really scary, but fortunately it was just a dream.

Only then did he realize that it was already noon. He didn't expect that he had slept for so long.

After a quick wash, Li Zhi began to prepare some medicine to dispel evil spirits.

After Li Zhi gulped down a bowl of the prepared evil-removing soup, he felt the remaining evil spirits in his body being discharged through his pores along with the sweat, which made Li Zhi feel a refreshing feeling of sweating profusely.

After he let out a long breath, just as Li Zhi was about to get some water to wash his body, a person wrapped like a mummy appeared in front of Li Zhi.

"Brother Li." The mummy said to Li Zhi.

Hearing this voice, Li Zhi realized that the mummy was actually Fang Cheng. He couldn't help but joked, "Brother Fang, why are you wrapped like this?"

Fang Cheng said helplessly: "The family invited a doctor to help me check, and he said that there were multiple injuries to the bones all over my body..."

As Li Zhi listened, he picked up a few herbs and handed them to Fang Cheng, saying, "Take these and boil them into soup. It will help you recover faster and prevent the root of the disease from developing."

Fang Cheng's eyes flashed with gratitude when he heard this.

You know, although there are many herbs here, they are all used by Master Liu to make elixirs. How can servants like Fang Cheng use them without permission? Only Li Zhi can do whatever he wants under the banner of helping Master Liu. Of course, this is also tacitly approved by Master Liu, and Master Liu will not blame Li Zhi for these trivial matters.

Fang Cheng put the herbs that Li Zhi handed over into his arms, then took out a book from his arms and said, "Yesterday I heard you say that you should learn martial arts first, so I thought about it all night and found this book on swordsmanship. Although it is not a profound martial art, it is simple and quick to learn, and it is most suitable for you to learn."

When Li Zhi heard this, his eyes lit up instantly. He wiped his hands on his body and quickly took the book.

Fang Cheng added: "Your physique has already taken shape, and you have missed the best stage for learning martial arts. Although this sword technique is simple, it is indeed the most suitable for you."

Li Zhi naturally knew that those who practiced martial arts, all masters basically practiced from childhood. For example, Fang Shiyu had been washing his body with medicine since he was young, and with the various training given by his parents, he had the skills he later had.

Therefore, he wanted to learn martial arts not necessarily to become a martial arts master, but just hoped to have more power to protect himself in this strange and dangerous world.

Looking at the word "Nameless" written on the book, Li Zhi looked up at Fang Cheng in confusion.

Fang Cheng understood what Li Zhi meant and said with a smile: "I collected this sword manual when I was wandering around in the martial arts world in my early years. Since it has no name, I labeled it "Nameless" myself."

Li Zhi nodded and said, "Thank you, Brother Fang."

Fang Cheng waved his hands and said a little embarrassedly: "I should be the one thanking you. If it weren't for you, I don't know if I could come back alive. Although I fainted at the time, I know that the black bear's sudden resurrection from the dead is definitely unusual!"

Li Zhi did not say much. After all, he was only trying to protect himself at the time. If he could escape at that time, he would definitely run away alone, not to mention that he almost killed Fang Cheng with his own hands later. So when facing Fang Cheng's gratitude, he felt a little guilty.

Seeing that Li Zhi had no intention of using his favor to gain respect, Fang Cheng's impression of Li Zhi improved further.

Fang Cheng said to Li Zhi solemnly: "No matter what, if there is anything in the future, just let me know. I, Fang Cheng, will never frown even if I have to go through fire and water."

After that, he turned around and left.

This made Li Zhi look at Fang Cheng with a new eye. But thinking carefully, Fang Cheng was willing to abandon his reputation and freedom and follow Lord He wholeheartedly just because Lord He saved his life. He was indeed a man who valued friendship and loyalty. However, Fang Cheng's arrogant and ruthless appearance had already penetrated Li Zhi's heart, so it was difficult for him to have any good impression of him at this time.

His gaze turned to the nameless sword manual in his hand. Without even bothering to fetch water to wash off the sweat on his body, Li Zhi concentrated on reading.

This nameless sword manual is indeed as Fang Cheng said, simple and easy to understand, and Fang Cheng also thoughtfully marked and annotated some difficult and obscure parts.

After a quick look, Li Zhi couldn't wait to find a branch in the yard and started to learn from the sword manual.

At this time, Master Liu in the room seemed to see Li Zhi through the door and window, and said sinisterly: "I didn't expect that I was wrong. I thought he was just a smart mortal, but I didn't expect that other evil spirits were attached to him. Interesting... Although I don't know who you are and when you made the move, but since I have set my eyes on this kid, I naturally can't give him up so easily!"

"I will come to compete with you!"

A strange look flashed across Master Liu's eyes, and then his mouth opened and closed, as if he was saying something, but no words came out. After a while, Li Zhi, who was practicing swordsmanship in the yard, paused, and then came to Master Liu's room.

"Master, do you have any instructions?" Li Zhi asked.

"Well, there is indeed something I need your help with." said Master Liu.

Li Zhi cursed Master Liu in his heart for being a rude person and treating him like an ox or a horse! However, he did not show it on his face, and just quietly waited for Master Liu's instructions.

Master Liu glanced at Li Zhi, and then said, "Whatever it is, don't worry about it for now. I will teach you a spell first, and I will explain it to you after you have mastered it."

"what!"

Li Zhi was shocked. What day was it today? Did the sun rise from the west? Why was there someone giving him a sword manual here and someone teaching him magic there?

Immortal Master Liu ignored Li Zhi's surprise and continued, "The magic I'm passing on to you today is one of the nine magics in the three peaks and six caves of Xiaoyao Mountain. Once you learn it this time, you will be considered a disciple of Xiaoyao Mountain."

Li Zhi was delighted when he heard this, and he immediately knelt down and bowed to Master Liu. He said respectfully, "Disciple greets Master!"

Immortal Master Liu laughed, and it seemed that the gloomy expression on his face had dissipated a lot. After accepting Li Zhi's salute, he helped him up.

Immortal Master Liu said: "I have never accepted any other disciples since I started practicing. From today on, you will be my founding disciple. I hope you can be diligent and respectful, and live up to the reputation of Xiaoyao Mountain and your master!"

Li Zhi was very excited, and sincerely bowed to Master Liu and said, "I will obey your orders!"

How could he not be excited? Xiaoyao Mountain was one of the three major immortal sects. With this backing, Li Zhi felt a little more secure in this strange world.

"Good good!"

After Master Liu shouted “good” three times, he said to Li Zhi: “The magic I will teach you today is called the Ghost Controlling Technique, which is also known as the Five Ghosts Moving Technique in the mortal world.”

"Five Ghosts Moving Technique?" Li Zhi whispered the name.

Immortal Master Liu continued, "After this technique is performed, five little ghosts can be summoned, and the caster can control the five little ghosts. Once upon a time, a senior brother used this technique to move all the wealth of a city overnight, so the saying of the Five Ghosts Moving Technique spread among the people."

Li Zhi was a little surprised. Why didn't this spell sound like a righteous spell?

"Just watch!" Immortal Master Liu said in a low voice, drawing Li Zhi's attention back.

I saw Master Liu making seals with his hands, drawing in the air, and then chanting a spell.

After a while, an eerie and cold aura emanated from the location that Master Liu had just outlined.

A faint blue light also lit up where Master Liu had drawn, and then five hideous heads popped out from the blue light.

Five little ghosts came out one after another. They had hideous faces, blue-green skin, thin limbs, but round bellies, and were naked from the waist up, with only a piece of cloth covering their crotch.

Master Liu pointed at a table nearby, and five little ghosts immediately floated over and picked up the table.

Immortal Master Liu pointed outside the house again, and the five little ghosts carried the table out of the house.

Seeing Li Zhi watching with great interest, a strange look flashed in Master Liu's eyes.

Master Liu just had an idea and hooked his finger towards Li Zhi. The five little ghosts immediately put down the table and ran towards Li Zhi.

Li Zhi, who was originally watching the show, was startled at first when he saw the five little ghosts with red eyes attacking him, but he suddenly thought of something, suppressed his panic, raised his head and chest, and faced the five little ghosts who were attacking him.
