Author: Jujube Sugar
Summary:
"Upon waking up, Zhang Qihai traveled to a parallel world that was a fusion of countless tomb-robbing movies and TV series.
And the identity selection system is activated at the beginning.
[1. Jude Kao's capable subordinate.]
[Second, Lu Jianxun's most trusted adjutant.]
[3. The half-brother of Zhang Qishan, the governor of the Nine Gates.]
Faced with the three choices given by the system, Zhang Qihai chose without hesitation..."
Chapter 1 The Mystic Nine, the midnight train!!!
In Changsha city.
Changsha Station, which used to be bustling with people coming and going, is particularly deserted today. Soldiers armed with live ammunition have surrounded the entire Changsha Station, and at the same time are on guard all around, not allowing anyone to enter or leave.
Soon a car arrived outside Changsha Station surrounded by soldiers. Adjutant Zhang quickly opened the door and a man in officer's uniform and leather boots stepped out.
This is none other than Zhang Qishan, the Great Buddha.
"Master Zhang is here in person to handle this matter. From now on, no one is allowed to enter or leave Changsha Station!"
A battalion commander shouted loudly and welcomed Zhang Qishan and Adjutant Zhang into Changsha Station.
……
at the same time.
Outside Changsha Station.
In a teahouse on the street, Zhang Qihai was drinking tea while looking at the street outside.
At this time, there were vendors hawking things on the streets, and waiters in the restaurants and eateries on both sides of the street were shouting loudly, creating a lively and prosperous scene.
Looking at this scene, Zhang Qihai was still a little dazed. He always felt that he was not in the Republic of China, but in a studio where a drama about the Republic of China was being filmed.
But he himself knew that this was the Republic of China.
Zhang Qihai is not from this era, he traveled through time. In his previous life, he was a small boss who ran an antique shop. When he had free time, he liked to read some online articles.
He never thought that time travel would happen to him, and he still didn't understand why he traveled through time.
"Waiter, bring me a pot of good tea and a few plates of snacks!"
Just as Zhang Qihai was wondering, a few strong men walked into the restaurant and sat down at a table close to Zhang Qihai.
These burly men looked ferocious, and one of them had a scar on his face. Several timid guests immediately didn't dare to sit down, and either changed tables or left. Only Zhang Qihai was different.
After the waiter quickly brought over the tea and snacks, those people didn't pay any attention to Zhang Qihai at the next table and just ate, drank and chatted.
"Hey guys, have you heard about the weird thing that happened at Changsha Station?"
"What's the matter?"
"Don't you know? Last night a train pulled into Changsha Station. It shouldn't have been strange, but Zhang Dafo led his soldiers to surround the station and no one was allowed to enter or leave. I heard from several soldiers that there were coffins and corpses on the train."
After saying this, a look of fear appeared on the faces of several fierce-looking men.
"This is too weird."
"It turned out to be a coffin and a corpse. I thought it was Mr. Sun coming to Changsha."
"Mr. Li, you are always talking nonsense. How true is what you said?"
Hearing someone questioning, the burly man with the luggage immediately became unhappy, but considering that they were all friends, he still patiently told the source of his information.
"My brother-in-law works for that big Buddha Zhang. I didn't exaggerate what he said. I told you exactly what he said. Don't you believe me?"
"I believe it."
"..."
The conversation between these sturdy men reached the ears of Zhang Qihai who was standing nearby, and he spat out the tea in his mouth.
Zhang Dafoye...
A train with coffins...
Changsha Station...
Putting these words together reminded Zhang Qihai of the tomb-raiding TV series The Mystic Nine that he had watched in his previous life.
This is not a good world. It happens to be the Republic of China, with warlords fighting each other, and powerful enemies such as the Japanese and the Russians surrounding us.
There are also various strange people with special skills in the world, such as Er Yuehong and Zhang Qishan.
It would be fine if he met a good guy, but if he met someone like Chen Pi, Zhang Qihai felt that he might not survive more than two episodes.
Chapter 2 God-level selection system
"Ding, congratulations to the host for binding to the Super God Selection System! System binding successful!"
"Ding, the host is detected in the tomb-robbing world, and the starting identity selection is being generated!"
[1. Jude Kao's capable subordinate.]
[Second, Lu Jianxun's most trusted adjutant.]
[3. The half-brother of Zhang Qishan, the governor of the Nine Gates.]
"System, I choose the identity of Zhang Qishan's third half-brother!"
After looking at the three options, Zhang Qihai chose the third one without any hesitation.
Do you still need to look at the first two options?
The first one to become Jude Kao's subordinate was simply courting death. Those who have read Uncle San's original novel and the adapted TV series know that if you become Jude Kao's subordinate, you are basically destined to be cannon fodder. What's more, how can a dignified Chinese like you become a running dog of foreigners!
The second option is even more so. Lu Jianxun is Zhang Dafoye's political enemy. Can the protagonist's enemy have a good ending in the end? Zhang Qihai, who knows the plot, knows that this person's ending is extremely miserable. Can being his adjutant have a good ending?
Of course, I would choose the third option. Wouldn't it be nice to eat meat with the protagonist? Moreover, this identity brings a lot of benefits.
"Ding, the host has chosen to become Zhang Qishan's half-brother, and the identity is being implanted!"
"Host identity loaded!"
"Identity rewards are being distributed!"
"Newbie rewards are being distributed!"
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the pure-blooded Qilin bloodline!"
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Black Gold Ancient Sword!"
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the first half of the "Sixteen-Character Yin-Yang Feng Shui Secret Technique"!"
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the tomb-grabbing lieutenant talisman!"
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Compass of Heaven and Earth!"
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the self-defense technique Diamond Sutra!"
......
A series of reward reminder sounds rang out, and Zhang Qihai couldn't help but burst into laughter.
When several tea drinkers at the neighboring table saw Zhang Qihai laughing for no reason, they thought he had hysteria and left one after another. Only the big men were left staring at Zhang Qihai as if he was a fool.
Feeling a little nervous under the gazes of everyone, Zhang Qihai smiled awkwardly, picked up his luggage, quickly paid the bill and left the teahouse.
Zhang Qihai did not go directly to the Zhang Mansion to recognize his relatives. After all, according to the identity memory given by the system, his blood had reverted to his ancestral home, so he was forcibly taken back to the clan land by the Zhang family in Jilin since he was a child. Except for Zhang Dafoye and adjutant Zhang Rishan, no one else in the Zhang family in Changsha knew his identity.
Just when Zhang Qihai couldn't think of a good way to contact Master Zhang Qishan, a military jeep drove towards him.
Zhang Qihai naturally recognized that the person sitting in the car was Qi Tiezui, the eighth master of the Qi family. He appeared near Changsha Station at this time and was naturally here to look for Master Fo.
Zhang Qihai immediately made up his mind to follow Mr. Qi Baye first and make plans later, so he quickly caught up with the moving jeep.
As they approached the station, the military jeep suddenly stopped.
We have now arrived outside the blockade area, and just a few steps inside will lead us to Changsha Station.
The soldier driving the car opened the trunk door and Mr. Qi jumped out of the jeep.
Zhang Qihai then had the opportunity to meet Mr. Qi, who was good at fortune-telling. Mr. Qi was wearing a red robe, a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and holding a compass in his hand. If he changed the glasses into sunglasses, he would look like a fortune-teller.
It can only be said that Zhang Qihai has a family tradition of fortune-telling, as expected, his ancestors were all fortune-tellers.
"Eighth Master, Master Buddha and the adjutant are waiting for you inside! Please come in!"
The soldier on guard was the Buddha's personal soldier, so he naturally recognized Mr. Qi Ba. He quickly pulled aside the chevaux de frise that blocked the road and spoke politely.
"No hurry, I'm waiting for a friend!"
I saw Master Qi Ba muttering in a mysterious voice.
Zhang Qihai, who had just arrived, naturally knew that the friend that Mr. Qi Baye was waiting for was himself, so he simply showed up openly.
"Haha, you really are worthy of being Master Qi, one of the Nine Gates Admirals. I have been careful enough, but I still can't hide it from Master Qi's discerning eyes." Zhang Qihai laughed.
"Brother, your tracking skills are indeed very strong, but we don't have any grudges against each other, right? I wonder what you are doing following Qi?"
Mr. Qi Ba spoke calmly, his eyes constantly sizing up the young man in front of him.
Due to the identity implanted by the system, Zhang Qihai's appearance at this time is 70% similar to that of Master Buddha Zhang Qishan, and he is even three points more handsome than Zhang Qishan.
"Master Qi, you misunderstood. I am Zhang Qihai. I came here just to look for my brother. Please forgive me if I have offended you."
After saying that, Zhang Qihai bowed towards Mr. Qi Ba.
"You're joking, little brother. Although my Qi family's Qimen divination is magical, it can't find a living person in a vast sea of people! Things like finding people still require searching..."
Halfway through his words, Mr. Qi looked Zhang Qihai up and down again, and immediately Zhang Qihai's face matched the face in his mind.
"Could it be that you are the half-brother that Zhang Dafo has been looking for since childhood?" Mr. Qi exclaimed, seeming a little excited.
This matter was no longer a secret among the Nine Gates. Every time the Nine Gates gathered, Zhang Dafo would often mention his younger brother who had been separated from him since childhood when he was drunk. Everyone in the Nine Gates knew that Zhang Dafo had a deep affection for his younger brother.
