Lonely Swordsman - C75
After passing through the vortex hole, Chen Jingkai was immediately shocked by the scene in front of him. He saw a huge star quietly emitting heat and light. The blinding light made Chen Jing unable to open his eyes. Off to the left, there was a small star hanging in the distance, avoiding the strong light from the two stars. After getting used to it for a long time, Chen Jing finally found a few planets of different sizes in the space behind him.
“Space Worm Cave!” Looking back at the vortex shaped hole around 2 meters away, Chen Jing’s mind couldn’t help but think of this word. He didn’t expect that the physicist Ludwig would suggest that Einstein perfect the wormhole. The wormhole that humans had been searching for for for so many years would actually be hidden right beside Earth!
After a moment of shock, Chen Jing realized that Duan Zhiping had already escaped without a trace. However, with such a shocking discovery, Chen Jing naturally couldn’t be bothered to care about Duan Zhiping anymore. Now, he had to consider what to do next. However, Chen Jing knew that exploring was not something that could be done in a short period of time. Just based on the distance between them and the planets in space, it would take at least ten days or half a month to reach them, not to mention exploring them one planet at a time. Chen Jing estimated that this would take years to calculate, so, in order to avoid the worry of his family, it was necessary to return first. A moment later, Chen Jing passed through the wormhole. After locating the wormhole, he flew towards the nearby blue planet.
Four hours later, Chen Jing returned to Mianzhou. Of course, the battle in Ya had ended shortly after Duan Zhiping fled. Currently, Wu Rong, Yang Weidong, and Lu Min were organizing troops to leave for Dali tomorrow, while Wang Lei and Zhang Xinlin had already returned to Mianzhou to recuperate from injuries caused by cosmic rays.
When Chen Jing returned and explained the situation, the crowd was naturally excited. Who wouldn’t want to experience the Outer World? It was a pity that even Wang Lei and Zhang Xinlin couldn’t withstand the intense cosmic rays. Thus, the next day, Chen Jing set off alone.
After they set out again, Chen Jing flew northwest under the clouds, passing through Gansu, Qinghai, Xinjiang, and Kazakhstan, before leaving the Dead Sea and leaving the atmosphere. After all, the wormhole was above the Dead Sea, and as for choosing to fly at a low altitude, he mainly wanted to take a look at the scenery along the way. However, Chen Jing didn’t notice that when they were flying over Kazakhstan, they were discovered by a figure. That figure then followed Chen Jing out of the atmosphere.
After passing through the wormhole, Chen Jing first determined the location of the wormhole, and then flew towards the nearest planet, but this distance was too long, it took Chen Jing an entire month to finally reach this planet, but it was a pity that this planet was like the moon, covered in rocks and cooled volcanic vents, there was no atmosphere, the entire planet was desolate.
In the following half a year, Chen Jing traveled back and forth between the stars. He explored 5 planets in this galaxy, including a huge gaseous planet and 14 moons. Unfortunately, all of these planets were desolate.
Standing in the starry sky, Chen Jing looked far into the distance. Chen Jing had already explored all the nearby planets, only the back of the star and the small star in the distance might still have planets. However, the distance between them made Chen Jing lose his confidence, because Chen Jing understood that it would take at least a year for Chen Jing to cross the vast space.
“Forget it, let’s go back!” Chen Jing understood that this exploration was a failure, so he calculated the direction of the wormhole and flew towards it. Fortunately, Chen Jing’s spiritual sense could sense the strong energy waves emanating from the wormhole from far away, so after more than two months of travel and half a month of searching, Chen Jing finally found the wormhole.
Chen Jing, on the other hand, was dumbfounded when he reached the wormhole. The wormhole that was originally two meters in diameter was now only the size of a fist. There was nothing Chen Jing could do except reach out with his hand!
“What should we do?” Chen Jing understood that he had been abandoned in this desolate starry sky.
“Forget it, let’s continue with our previous research!” After pondering for a long time, Chen Jing felt lucky that although the density of energy in this starry sky could not compare to the current Earth, it was still not bad. Chen Jing was also able to use cultivation to provide the energy needed by his body. Of course, exploring was naturally easier said than done, first close, then far. Chen Jing calculated that his distance from the large star should be about as far as the distance from Earth to the Sun, and around the other side of the star was about 600 to 700 million kilometers, so he should be able to reach there within half a year. And the distance to that small star was definitely over 10 billion km, to get there, even 10 years might not be enough. Therefore, Chen Jing had to first explore the back of the large star.
After Chen Jing made his decision, he flew in an arc towards the back of the large star. Three and a half months later, Chen Jing met the first planet. However, this planet was very small and was not even the size of the moon, so it was naturally desolate. Another half a month later, Chen Jing discovered a large gaseous planet in the distance with many satellites. However, this planet was very far away, and it would take at least half a year.
After more than a month of flight, Chen was pleasantly surprised to find that, 200 million kilometers away from the large star, a planet shimmered with blue-green and yellow shadows floated silently. At the same time, a huge satellite (about a third of the size of the main star) slowly revolved around it. Naturally, Chen Jing was ecstatic. He flew straight to the planet, and as the distance between him and the planet shortened, he gradually saw the earth-blue sea, green forests, and yellow deserts.
As they got closer, the man-made cities and roads slowly appeared before Chen Jing. This was a civilized planet! The overjoyed Chen Jing quickly threw himself into a larger city.
In the late autumn, the cold wind blew gently in Jinling. In the spacious Main Street of the Main House, the brilliant sunlight shone down onto the green tiles and red walls that could be seen everywhere. The overhanging eaves, the fluttering colorful flags, as well as the human tide that seemed to weave under the front porch of the main hall, the fresh clothes, the furious horses, and the fragrant carriage, all of these exuded an extravagant and extravagant feeling from the depths of their bones.
In the afternoon, it was the time for the people of Jinling to go out and relax. On the main street of the main house, it was crowded with people. Suddenly, a shooting star flew down from the sky and smashed right into the middle of Main Street. When the object landed, people discovered that it was a strange person wearing white clothes. They were so frightened that they all dodged aside and then observed that person from a distance.
A person suddenly fell from the sky. Although he was afraid, he wasn’t too afraid. Furthermore, that person just stood there in a daze after falling. After the shock had subsided, some people started whispering to each other in the corners of the streets.
“Who is this person, why is he wearing such strange clothes?”
“Did you see that? This person is so strange, why is his hair so short?”
“Could it be a demon? It’s said that strange clothes were worn by demons in Nanan County, near the Savage Forest.”
“That’s right, that’s right. I’ve heard that demon even eats humans. Could it be that a demon from the Wilderness has come to the imperial city?”
“…”
After standing still, Chen Jing realized that what he saw made him feel as if he was in a dream. Chen Jing was sure that the people watching from afar were definitely Chinese, because they were yellow skin, black hair, and black eyes. Moreover, the sounds of their discussion were not small. Although their accents sounded a little strange, making Chen Jing unable to guess which dialect they were speaking, Chen Jing was certain that they were speaking in Chinese, because Chen Jing had basically understood what they were saying.
“Judging from the clothes of the people around him, Chen Jing is sure that he is not wearing Tang suit, nor is he wearing a full Qing uniform. As for whether it is Han suit or Song or Ming period clothing, Chen Jing is not sure. What Chen Jing is sure is that he must have crossed over to ancient China.” I never thought that it would actually be a time space tunnel! ” Chen Jing sighed in his heart.
“Just which dynasty is this? Which prefecture is this? ” This was the first thing Chen Jing needed to understand right now, so after figuring out the reason, he walked over to the people around him, planning to ask the locals about it.
“Monster, the monster is here. Run!”
However, just as Chen Jing was about to ask these people, suddenly, these people ran away as if they had met a great beast. They then closed their doors, and in an instant, the bustling street became empty, leaving only Chen Jing standing in the middle of the street helplessly.
Of course, with Chen Jing’s skill, it would be a piece of cake for him to grab one or two people. However, when Chen Jing thought about how he had just arrived, it was obviously not too good to brazenly make a move. Therefore, after a bitter smile, he decided to change his clothes and quietly enter this society.
After strolling along the street for a while, Chen’s gaze was finally attracted by a pair of mighty stone lions standing in front of the gates on the right side of the courtyard. On the left and right side of the gates were two ancient bronze doors with large beast heads hung on them, and on each door was a signboard hung the words “Hall of Imperial Physicians”, while on the two sides of the doorframe was a couplet with seven words written on it.
Of course, what attracted Chen Jing’s attention wasn’t this couplet, nor the beast head bronze bracelet on the bronze gate, nor the mighty stone lions on both sides. What attracted Chen Jing’s gaze was the deeper left wing of the Imperial Physician Hall, because Chen Jing had noticed that several pieces of clothing were hanging out in the air in the depths of the hall. After a while, Chen Jing arrived. He took off his outer robes, chose a dark blue long robe to wear, and then a dark green crown. Unfortunately, the cap was not completely dry yet, but that did not bother Chen Jing. After putting on the cap, Chen Jing circulated his energy and within a few moments, the remaining water on the cap was completely evaporated.
After changing his clothes, Chen Jing’s goal was achieved. However, when he saw that the courtyard was empty, he decided to go inside and see if he could get someone to ask about it. After sizing him up for a while, Chen Jing pushed open the door of a room and walked in.
The room’s furnishings seemed to be a treasure hall. On the right side of the hall, there was a square red lacquered wooden box with leather straps on the back. Clearly, it was a medicine cabinet.
Chen Jing was about to reach out his right hand to open the medicine chest’s lid when he suddenly heard footsteps coming from outside. He was so scared that he hastily withdrew his hand and turned around to look outside the door, only to see a fifteen-sixteen year old girl dressed in a fine black silk jacket and a blue satin vest walking in from the door, followed by a blue palanquin. The young girl was in a rush, and as soon as she saw Chen Jing, who was in the room with the door wide open, she hurriedly ran inside.
