Chapter 1: Arriving in the Great Tang Dynasty

  In the late Sui Dynasty, war was rampant, and after several years of conquest, the Tang Dynasty replaced the Sui Dynasty to unify the world. After the Xuanwu Gate Incident, Li Shimin ascended to the throne, changed the year number to Zhenguan, worked hard to govern, and the people were able to live in peace and prosperity, with a thriving scene everywhere.

  Yongnian County was under the jurisdiction of Hebei Road as Guangping Prefecture, in the fifth year of Zhenguan, outside the county seat of Yongnian County, a strange and strangely dressed young man suddenly appeared in the vast wilderness.

  The young man had a head of short hair, looked handsome and dignified. His skin was as white as a woman's, making him look quite dashing. He wore modern casual clothes: a T-shirt, shorts, and canvas shoes. Around his neck hung a red cord with a strange jade pendant on it. In his hand, he held a luggage cart, the super-large cloth bag space inside was bulging.

  The young man's dull eyes were filled with intense incredulity, and he looked around the desolate wilderness, muttering to himself, "Where is this?" In an instant, a chill ran down his spine and straight up to his forehead.

  The young man's real name was Qin Yu, twenty-six years old, yes, exactly twenty-six years old, but at this moment, Qin Yu looked like he was only fifteen or sixteen, and in the blink of an eye, he had become ten years younger, which was quite puzzling.

  Qin Yu is a pure modern person, his family background is not good but also not bad, after graduating from university, his girlfriend left in a BMW.

  Qin Yu struggled and scrambled for a few years, but somehow got it into his head to return home, contracted 200 acres of land, and started playing the role of a small landlord.

  It's not bad at all, after two years of effort, it has become quite vivid and lively.

  It turns out that being able to achieve success is also because nowadays food is filled with pesticides and gutter oil, or else it's some kind of high-tech grain.

  In short, helplessness fills people's hearts, and businessmen with long-blackened consciences fill the country, and severe crackdowns can't solve the problem.

  It was because of this that Qin Yu made a small profit, and later planned to try his hand at growing vegetables in greenhouses. He bought many seeds, but who would have thought that while rushing along the road, he suddenly felt dizzy, and when he came back to himself, he found himself standing in the wilderness, where no one could remain calm any longer.

  He pulled out his phone, but there was no signal at all. "Where is this? How did I get here?" Qin Yu felt a bit anxious, and suddenly thought of something, so he sat down on the ground with a thud, "Damn it, could I have traveled through time?"

  Only the popular time-traveling can explain the current situation, and the sea changed into a mulberry field in the blink of an eye.

  The originally existing houses, the throngs of people and the asphalt roads all disappeared, turning into a desolate wilderness overgrown with weeds. Scattered fields could be seen here and there, but not a single human figure was in sight. The air here was also dozens of times fresher than before.

  After a long time, Qin Yu let out a long sigh, "Alas." The sigh was filled with a strong sense of helplessness. Thinking about anything else was useless now. What was important was to figure out what kind of world this was, where it was, and how to live in the future.

  Qin Yu stood up, patted the mud and grass clippings on his buttocks, pulled the cart back and forth in a circle for nearly twenty times, but unfortunately, the changes he imagined never appeared, and finally, with a sigh, he randomly chose a direction.

  The sparse fields in the wilderness prove that this is still a human civilization, at least Qin Yu thinks so.

  More than half an hour later, a small river with an unknown name appeared in front of Qin Yu. The water was extremely clear, and at least there were no cigarette boxes or trash bags floating on the surface. Although he was thirsty, Qin Yu didn't know if the river water was drinkable, so he licked his dry lips and continued on his way.

  More and more trees are distributed on both sides of the small river, although they are not neat, but there is still shade to cool down, plus the cool air blown by the wind on the river surface, Qin Yu chose to move forward along the small river.

  The scenery on both sides of the small river is quite good, but unfortunately Qin Yu doesn't have any mind to appreciate the beauty of nature at this moment.

  As I walked forward, the fields also increased, walking and stopping for more than an hour, the fields gradually became denser, with a single crop of wheat planted inside. Judging from the appearance, it will be ripe in about a month, but still no human figure is seen.

  It's also a hot day, no one will be silly enough to bask in the sun, and the wheat doesn't need to be processed at this time, just wait for it to mature.

  Before long, a small village appeared in the empty field of vision. From afar, Qin Yu's mouth twitched slightly, "Indeed, sigh."

  Although Qin Yu's eyesight was not 2.0, it wasn't too bad either. At least the few people sitting under the pagoda tree in the village could still see him clearly.

  An old man and two middle-aged men, each with long hair, wearing long robes, as for the material of their clothes, they were a bit far away, and couldn't be distinguished for a while.

  Taking a deep breath, Qin Yu tightened his grip on the luggage cart and headed towards the village.

  As they approached the village, it was clear at a glance that the camera crew they had been hoping for hadn't shown up. Qin Yu's eyes were somewhat disheartened, and just then, the three people who were resting in the shade all looked over at them.

  Qin Yu clearly saw the surprise in their eyes, silently sighed, put on a professional smile, walked forward, bowed and asked, "Old man, what dynasty is it now? And where is this place?"

  The old man's gaze swept from top to bottom, sizing up Qin Yu, and after a thoughtful pause, he smiled slightly, "Little guy, wasn't your whole family relocated during the war and only came out now?"

  "What?" Qin Yu was taken aback, the old man's accent was similar to that of Handan, Qin Yu could understand it clearly, but he didn't understand why the old man would ask this.

  Two middle-aged men did not speak, but instead stared at Qin Yu constantly, filled with doubt.

  The old man looked at Qin Yu's expression, stroked his long beard, and had an "as expected" look on his face. He then spoke up, saying, "Now that it is the Great Tang Dynasty, the tyrannical ruler is already a thing of the past. You don't have to worry anymore. As the village head of this village, I'd like to ask if you would be willing to register as a resident here?"

  "In the Great Tang, I've actually arrived in the Great Tang." Qin Yu stared at Murata's smiling face with a dumbfounded expression and thought to himself in extreme shock, "Fortunately, it's still Earth, but why do I feel like this Murata looks just like a human trafficker?"

  "Hmm, this...". Qin Yu was at a loss for words for the time being. After all, Qin Yu only had a superficial understanding of the Great Tang Empire and didn't know what specific situation he was referring to.

  Just then, Muramasa grabbed Qin Yu's hand and said hastily, "What else are you considering? As long as you settle down here, you can get five mu of good land. Don't worry, as long as you're willing to settle down, the village will help you solve your housing problem."

  Qin Yu exerted force and pulled several times, but still couldn't pull it out. Muramasa's strength was considerable at times.

  Qin Yu felt extremely awkward, as if there was a huge trap waiting for him to jump into right in front of him.

  Just as Qin Yu was about to refuse, two middle-aged men blocked him from the front and back, staring at him with a fierce gaze, as if they would take action against him as soon as he uttered a word.

  "My god, no way." Qin Yu was shocked in his heart and hastily opened his mouth to say, "Ah, what's that, of course there's no problem."

  As soon as Qin Yu's words fell, the two middle-aged men immediately changed their expressions, with a kind face and a smile, and Shouzheng also smiled with his mouth open.

  "It's bad, there really is a trap." Qin Yu looked at the expressions of the three people and thought with great entanglement.
