Chapter 1: Crossing Over and Rebirth

  Recently, the trend of ancient style has been prevailing. Places that retain ancient architecture have become popular tourist destinations. The streets where antiques are sold are crowded with people coming and going. Even if there aren't many who can really tell the authenticity of antiques, they still go to join in the excitement, just to buy some handicrafts.

  "Dad, Mom, hurry up, there's something exciting to see." A seven or eight-year-old little girl, holding her parents' hands, with an excited expression on her face, curiously shouted loudly.

  At the corner of the street, surrounded by a group of tourists, the girl's parents were also attracted and curiously walked over to pick up their little girl.

  Through the gap, a young man wearing a Zhongshan suit can be seen sitting in the center of the crowd, looking ordinary, holding a tortoiseshell and shaking it very seriously.

  It was originally a fortune teller, and in modern society, there are actually not many people who really believe in fortune telling, but just for the sake of excitement.

  On the table in front of the young man, there was nothing else but a pen and a stack of white paper. The table was covered with a layer of white cloth, and the part facing tourists had two lines of words. The first line read: "Fortune Telling". However, the second line read: "Fate is unpredictable, nine out of ten calculations are incorrect."

  The father holding the little girl smiled: "Wife, this fortune teller is actually honest, and it's written that ten calculations don't work out, which is not as good as not writing at all."

  "Yes, since none of them are right, what's the point?" The girl's mother also smiled and added.

  A stranger next to him heard this and became unhappy, interrupting: "Don't talk nonsense, Mr. Yang is not ordinary, his divination is quite accurate, he only comes out to set up shop on this one day every month, and only receives ten customers. Each person only pays ten yuan, if it's more than ten, he won't serve you anymore. Last month, a big boss from outside offered 100,000 yuan for one divination, but he just shook his head and left."

  "Is it really that bad?" The couple couldn't believe it and looked at each other skeptically.

  "Are you two here in Dujiangyan for the first time? This Mr. Yang isn't someone who makes a living by fortune-telling, I heard he's an expert at interpreting signs and symbols at the Taoist temple, raised by an old Taoist priest from a young age, and grew up in the temple, his skills are quite impressive." The stranger praised.

  "Mom, shall we go in and take a look?" the little girl called out.

  "Good." The young woman replied softly.

  "Dryness is above, fire is below, heaven and man are the same. Asking about your future, it seems that you have a promising career ahead of you, a life of wealth and nobility, as long as you don't take any crooked paths, you will become rich and noble sooner or later." Yang Tong said calmly.

  The fortune teller sitting there said with some doubt: "Really? I wonder if you can calculate my name?"

  "Sorry, I only ask one question when reading fortunes. Fate is unpredictable, and even if I calculate ten times, nine of them may not be accurate. Whether you believe it or not has nothing to do with me." Yang Tong put away his pen and paper without lifting his head and said, "So, the last person for today."

  "Oh." The man didn't say much more and stood up to leave. Upon hearing this, the crowd also dispersed with many people leaving.

  "Uncle, can you guess what my name is?" A young woman sat down with a little girl in her arms and said. The young woman's back leaned lightly against the man behind her, relying on him for support.

  This couple was a family of three who had just been talking and asking questions earlier, and unexpectedly squeezed in when the crowd dispersed.

  Yang Tong raised his head and took a look. It was an ordinary family of three, but it was the first time he had met a child who asked for divination here. "Ten yuan."

  The child's father handed over ten yuan, which was not much.

  "Is that all you're asking?" Yang Tong shook his head and sighed. Without waiting for an answer, he took the tortoise shell and the three copper coins on the table to start divination.

  The divination result came out soon.

  "Ah, Baoyuer Chen, single name for a month, originally little friend you called Chen Yue ah." Yang Tong's face showed a smile, but only to the little girl, he liked children because they were pure and innocent.

  "Wow, uncle is so amazing!" The little girl exclaimed in surprise.

  The child's parents were even more shocked, they absolutely came here to play for the first time, and previously they absolutely did not know this young man. Moreover, they themselves are not some wealthy family, who would investigate them? Is this really calculated?

  "Wait a minute, sir, can we ask one more question?" asked Mr. and Mrs. Chen.

  "It can't be helped, a missed opportunity is just that. Maybe next time." Yang Tong started packing up the stall, putting away the things on the table and storing them, as the table and stools were borrowed, they should be returned to their rightful owner.

  The onlookers were shocked, was it really that accurate? Was this still considered a nine out of ten misses?

  Before long, Yang Tong finished packing up and left with her backpack on.

  The Chen couple exchanged a glance, sighed and said: "Today we gained knowledge, it turns out that there are indeed people who can calculate fortunes so accurately. If we had known earlier, we would have asked about our future too." After finishing speaking, they continued strolling with their daughter in their arms, but how much of their interest in the outing remained is unknown.

  Yang Tong walked out of the antique street when it was still some time before lunch, and today he didn't have to rush back. Anyway, there were others in the Taoist temple who could interpret fortunes, and today was his turn to take a break.

  Just in time for lunch, Yang Tong walked slowly to a small restaurant he often went to when he came down the mountain, ordered one meat dish and one vegetarian dish, and started eating slowly.

  "It's been three years since Master passed away, and I've almost mastered the Plum Blossom Calculation Technique. However, my experience is still lacking, and I'm not yet able to reach the state of 'calculating with a single finger, with all things in mind'."

  After finishing a meal, Yang Tong decided to go back. He came once a month just to enrich his Easy Divination Technique.

  Just as I was about to cross the road, I suddenly heard a somewhat familiar cry from across the street: "Uncle, uncle, I'm over here."

  Yang Tong raised his eyes and took a look, wasn't it Chen Yue, the little girl who came to ask for divination earlier?

  At this time, it just so happened to be a red light, and the little girl ran over quickly.

  Just then, a red sports car came flying over like a mad wild horse, heading straight for Chen Yue.

  "Be careful!" Yang Tong didn't have time to think and ran over as fast as he could.

  A screeching brake sound came through.

  "Ah——" a sharp cry, "Yuè Yuè——"

  Yang Tong hugged the little girl tightly, and his body only had time to turn half a circle before a severe pain struck, sending him flying out involuntarily.

  Yang Tong only felt a hot flow flowing out of his body, and his physical strength slowly flowed away, as if it was being sucked away by something. Before losing consciousness, he vaguely heard the crying voice of little girl Chen Yue, as well as the shouts of many people.

  Fresh blood flowed and soon spread out, the white shoulder bag was quickly dyed blood red.

  No one noticed that among the three copper coins in the bag used for divination, one of them seemed to be absorbing Yang Tong's fresh blood with a hungry look. The originally ordinary copper coin emitted a faint purple glow, which was very weak but extremely agile, and was blocked by the blood-red bag.

  The originally inconspicuous ordinary ancient coin suddenly began to change, its entire body turned into a noble purple-red color, with patterns unfolding, looking mysterious and unparalleled. Upon closer inspection, the copper coin was not intact, but had six protruding marks on it that looked like scars, damaging its original pattern's perfection.

  The glow lasted for about 360 breaths, and then the purple copper coin silently disappeared from the bag.

  The next day's newspaper headlines read "Rich Second-Generation Speeds Through Red Light, Fortune Teller Sacrifices Himself to Save Child" on the front page of all major newspapers.

  ……………

  A dark and profound space, here drifts infinite deep gray airflow, as if the sea tide, one wave after another, very turbulent.

  A purple-red glow flashed by, flowing strongly against the current.

  A faint purple-red glow in the gray airflow, the light is dim and uncertain. Upon closer inspection, it turns out to be a purple-red copper coin with a round square hole.

  After an unknown period of time, a new and shallower scar appeared on the copper coin, followed by a "big wave" that came crashing down, and the copper coin disappeared without a trace.

  ……………

  Feng Xuan Continent, in an ordinary small county town of the Huang Yu Kingdom, Yang Tong opened his eyes, "Huh, where is this?" Memories flooded back, and Yang Tong still remembered the moment he rushed out to save someone on the road. Before losing consciousness, he seemed to have heard a little girl's voice, and should have been saved.

  Wanting to say something, as soon as he opened his mouth, it was a baby-like cry, the voice was extremely piercing. Yang Tong was stunned, and put his hand in front of his eyes to take a look, why did this hand turn into a baby's small hand.

  "Baby—" A stylish and refreshing short-haired woman walked in, gently picking up Yang Tong, "Are you hungry? Come, Mom will feed you."

  Yang Tong finished drinking his mother's milk and didn't come to until the young woman put him down on a small bed.

  "Have I been reborn?" Yang Tong looked around the house, very rustic, without any modern feel, "No, it should be crossing over plus rebirth!"

  Yang Tong let out a sigh of relief. In his previous life, Yang Tong was an orphan who grew up in a Taoist temple after his master's death, he was left alone with no one to rely on, so he had nothing to worry about. But in this life, he is no longer an orphan and has parents of his own, which was a beautiful wish that Yang Tong didn't dare dream of in his previous life.

  Thinking and thinking, Yang Tong fell asleep beautifully.

  ……

  Time passed slowly, and Yang Tong grew up day by day. Before he knew it, he was already six years old. He didn't show any outstanding performance, just like a normal child enjoying his parents' love.

  As for this new home and this alien world, Yang Tong also had some understanding.

  At home, there were only father Yang Tong and mother Luo Xiaojuan, plus himself. It was unknown whether it was a coincidence or what, but Yang Tong's name was still called Yang Tong.

  I learned from my parents that this is Rakuya County, which belongs to the territory of Koryu Kingdom. It is one of the tens of thousands of county towns in the kingdom. The Koryu Kingdom has a vast territory, with 80 first-class cities, 300 second-class cities below them, and 1,600 third-class cities below that. Under these cities are numerous county towns, each occupying a considerable area of land.

  Luo Yu County is a county under the jurisdiction of Luo Xing City, a third-tier city. The county is the smallest administrative unit and human settlement. There are no villages under the county.
