Time Travel: The Survival of Li Zhi

The moon is like a hook, and the stars are twinkling.

Before I knew it, it was night.

The old butler of the Li Mansion was instructing the servants at work when he suddenly remembered that his master seemed not to have come back for dinner and he didn't know where he had gone. The old butler shook his head and didn't think about it anymore.

"Xiao Cui, the guests in the hall should have left. You can go and clean it up." The old housekeeper instructed a maid.

As a maid, she naturally did not dare to disobey the housekeeper's order. Xiao Cui quickly responded, "Okay, I'll go right away."

Taking the cleaning tools, Xiao Cui went to the hall.

As soon as she entered the hall, Xiao Cui smelled the strong smell of blood. She frowned and looked over.

It would have been fine if she hadn't looked at it, but once she did, she was almost scared to death.

I saw that my master and Mr. Huang, who was treated as a VIP by the master, were both lying on the ground. The two pools of blood flowing from their bodies on the ground had dried up a little. It was obvious that they had been dead for some time.

Seeing such a bloody scene, Xiao Cui finally couldn't bear it anymore and screamed loudly with a pale face.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night at the Li Mansion.

The murderer Li Zhi has already left Hailing City.

Although he had written down the black-robed man's confession of all the crimes committed by him and Li Feng, and wrote a statement of charges with their blood.

But he found it troublesome and did not want to be taken back by the government to take a statement, so he just left the city directly.

Li Zhi was riding a brown horse. He pulled the reins and stopped the horse.

He bought this horse specifically when he was going out of the city. After all, he had money in his pocket now. Although it was just an ordinary pack horse, the price was still not low. But he still bought it. After all, when he was out, having a horse to ride not only made him travel faster but also more comfortable.

Li Zhi looked back at Hailing City which was no longer visible behind him, but he was not thinking about Li Feng. Li Zhi didn't care about Li Feng's affairs at all.

Li Zhi today is no longer the person who can be bullied by anyone like when he first arrived. Now he has the ability to control the life and death of others.

As for why he wanted to kill Li Feng and the other two, although considering Li Zhi's originally cautious way of doing things, it was indeed a bit reckless.

But he still couldn't help but take action. Was it because of his overflowing sympathy? Or was it because his saintly heart reappeared?

Li Zhi himself couldn't explain it, maybe it was just for the sake of clearing his thoughts.

"What that man said about the stone god..." Li Zhi pondered for a moment.

According to the request made by the man in black before his death, he wanted Li Zhi to help him kill a man known as the Stone God.

Although this person claims to be a god, he is actually just an ordinary cultivator. Having committed a crime, he was wanted by the Night Patrol, so he hid in a small village and relied on some of his tricks to evade the law in the local area.

Li Zhi originally had no intention of interfering in the affairs between the black-robed man and the stone god, but when he heard the black-robed man say that the stone god had a treasure with earth-attribute energy in his hand, Li Zhi couldn't help but become interested.

If this person really has some earthy qualities, Li Zhi might as well go over and take a look first.

After all, the five elements of nature are related to Li Zhi's cultivation of the five internal organs. Now that he finally has a clue, Li Zhi is unwilling to give up.

After thinking for a while, Li Zhi decided to go to Xiaoyao Mountain first. If there was the five elements of energy in Xiaoyao Mountain, Li Zhi would not have to go through the trouble of looking for the Stone God. After all, Li Zhi could not tell the truth from the Stone God's strength and means based on the description of the man in black robe.

Having made up his mind, Li Zhi did not stop and rode his horse forward.

 …

Xiaoyao Mountain is located on a small island in the South China Sea.

The island is surrounded by a mysterious fog that lasts all year round, as if it is a natural barrier separating it from the outside world.

This small island is closed all year round, and only the disciples of Xiaoyao Mountain on the island are qualified to enter and exit.

However, for the common people living near the South China Sea, Xiaoyao Mountain is a place full of mystery and awe.

Because everyone knows that Xiaoyao Mountain is a famous immortal gate, and all the people in Xiaoyao Mountain are immortals.

It is precisely because of the awe and yearning for immortals that many people stay near the South China Sea all day long, hoping that they will be lucky enough to be noticed by an immortal from Xiaoyao Mountain and be accepted as a disciple, so that they can ascend to immortality in one step.

In addition to those who aspire to become disciples of the immortal, there are also other people with various purposes gathered here.

Among these people, some hoped to meet the immortals of Xiaoyao Mountain and ask them for help to solve their confusions, some came to seek the immortals' guidance, and some came purely out of curiosity and wanted to catch a glimpse of the immortals.

Although the immortals of Xiaoyao Mountain rarely go down the mountain or leave the island, and even if they do, they rarely interact with mortals like them, this does not affect their enthusiasm at all.

After all, this is an immortal!

Maybe the smoke coming out of your ancestral grave really is the result of an immortal's attention, which means you will truly be able to escape from the mundane world and ascend to heaven in one step.

It is precisely because of these reasons that the South China Sea, which was originally far away from the capital and remote and desolate, has attracted many people to come. The small towns on the coast of the South China Sea have even changed their names, such as Xianlin Town, Wangxian Town, Xianlai Town, etc.

All of these names express their admiration and expectations for the immortals.

As time went by, the popularity of this place became more and more prosperous, and various shops and inns emerged like mushrooms after rain, making this originally desolate land gradually become lively and forming a unique local culture.

On this day, a new guest came to this small town called Wangxian Town.

The man was riding a brown horse, wearing a Taoist robe, and his face was slightly pale.

The person who came was Li Zhi.

Li Zhi took a look at the map and whispered, "This is it."

Although Wangxian Town is a small town, its prosperity is no less than some of the big cities Li Zhi has encountered.

The various shops here dazzled Li Zhi, a time traveler. Seeing that it was already time for dinner, Li Zhi simply found a restaurant to eat something.

When they arrived at a restaurant called Xianlaichi, as soon as Li Zhigang sat down, he heard an old storyteller telling a story.

Li Zhi listened carefully and found that it was nothing more than some old-fashioned stories about immortals slaying demons and monsters.

However, the South China Sea might be close to Xiaoyao Mountain, so Li Zhi didn't find any monsters or ghosts along the way.

I don't think any ghosts are brave enough to wander around the immortal gate.

When Li Zhi finished his meal and was about to pay the bill and leave, he heard a conversation between several businessmen at the table nearby, which caught Li Zhi's attention.

Li Zhi simply asked the waiter to bring another pot of tea, and then he drank the tea and listened to their conversation with his ears perked up.

"Is what you said true or false?" said a businessman.

The other businessman got a little anxious when he heard that he didn't believe it. He was about to shout loudly, but then he realized that the topic he was talking about was not something he could talk about casually, so he whispered, "Of course it's true! I came from Kyoto, and Kyoto is in chaos right now."

"Hiss! How could the emperor suddenly become critically ill? Isn't there going to be chaos in Yongguo now?"

"Who says it's not true? Now those princes are fighting each other. I heard that Prince Duan has already contacted the border army and said he wants to go to the capital to defend the king! Who doesn't know what he is thinking?"

"What! Aren't the border troops always on guard against Chu? If they are recalled, what will happen to Chu?"

The merchant had a pale face and his voice was trembling. His hometown was near the border of Yong and Chu, and he still remembered vividly the cruelty of the Chu State in the past.

Now, when he thought about the war breaking out again in his hometown, his legs couldn't help shaking.

He murmured, "No... No, I have to go back quickly and tell my parents at home to pick them up first!"

After he finished speaking, he ran away in a hurry. The others knew the seriousness of the situation and did not say much. Although they were far away from the border, they also knew that once the world was in chaos, there would be no peace anywhere.

Several people were thinking about how to deal with the situation with worried faces.

Li Zhi on the side also frowned deeply.

Wasn't the Fuyang Pill already prepared? Why was the Emperor still critically ill?

Could it be that Lord He did not hand it over to the Emperor?

Or is there something wrong with this Fuyang Pill?
