Winter, the twelfth year of Wanli.

The first heavy snowfall arrived outside Yuanjiang City.

It snowed heavily from early morning to early morning, and the whole city seemed to be shrouded in white snow.

In a small courtyard in an alley in the east of the city, a biting cold wind blew from the window, waking up Lin Mang who was lying in bed.

Looking at the extremely unfamiliar environment in front of him, countless unfamiliar memories came to Lin Mang's mind.

After a long time, he was surprised to find that he had traveled through time!

The place where I am seems to be the Ming Dynasty.

The reason for his doubts was that this Ming Dynasty was very different from what he understood.

In this year, Zhu Zaiyu published "Lü Lu Jingyi".

Well, this is normal.

But what is abnormal is that this year, Eunuch Cao of Dongchang entered the realm of a master with a mutilated body in the Snowy Mountains.

"I'll take it!"

Lin Mang was completely shocked.

What the hell is this Ming Dynasty?

And the so-called Eunuch Cao was none other than Cao Zhengchun, who made the entire martial arts world take a step back.

If that's all, that's all. What's more important is that the sword master recruits disciples and is selected as one of the ten grandmasters.

By the way, there is also a famous Xichang Yuhuatian!

The reason why the original person knows this is because of his special identity.

Jinyiwei!

However, he was not originally from an orthodox Jinyiwei background, but inherited his father's official position.

Now he is a Jinyiwei Xiaoqi.

It's just that his original martial arts talent was low, and because he was hereditary, he was ostracized and suppressed in various ways among the Jinyi Guards.

In fact, the position left by my original father was Baihu, not Xiaoqi.

His father was originally the chief bannerman of Jinyiwei. Because he helped solve a secret case, although he died, he was promoted to the rank of one hundred members of Jinyiwei.

A special Feiyu suit and an embroidered spring knife were given as a reward.

Lin Mang should fill his father's vacancy and become the youngest member of the Hundred Household of Jinyiwei.

But every carrot is a pit, and there are countless people who are greedy for the position of hundreds of households.

The law is one thing, but actually enforcing it is another.

Not only did Lin Mang fail to fill the vacancy of the Hundred Households, but he was also driven to Yuanjiang City.

It is said that it is a temporary assignment to gain experience, but in fact it is no different from being assigned.

Lin Mang's eyes narrowed slightly, with a hint of coldness in them.

"What a good plan!"

As long as he was out on a mission and couldn't make it back, or even had an accident, the position of the hundred households would naturally go to someone else.

After all, he had no heirs, so there was no hereditary theory.

Obviously, the original person had an accident, otherwise he wouldn't be able to come.

"This world is so weird!"

This was completely different from the world in his memory, which made him feel a little inexplicably scared.

This is not modern society, but ancient times where laws were strict and human lives were as little as trivial matter.

If you are not careful, not only will you be ruined, but also the nine tribes will be affected.

After carefully combing through the complicated memories in his mind, Lin Mang finally sorted out some clues.

A few days ago, several Jinyiwei Xiaoqi invited me to have a drink at Wanchun Restaurant, saying that they wanted to cleanse themselves from the wind and dust.

Later, I met some drunken and troublemaking Jianghu people, and the two sides had a conflict.

In the chaos, the original person was beaten the worst due to his weak martial arts.

Although he was not killed on the spot, he was seriously injured.

I have been recuperating at home these past few days. Yesterday I drank medicine as usual, and suddenly suffered angina in my chest in the middle of the night, and died soon after.

Lin Mang frowned secretly.

There seems to be something wrong with the original body's death, and the injuries are not fatal at all.

On the contrary, after these days of recuperation, the injury has not only not improved, but has become more serious.

He got up and went to the table, where there was an empty bowl and a small booklet.

"Iron Shirt"

This is a martial art left behind by the original father, and it is one of the hard skills of Shaolin.

Now that the emperor has collected martial arts from all over the world, Jinyiwei, as the emperor's personal army, naturally has no shortage of martial arts secrets.

First he picked up the empty bowl and smelled it, and then picked up the brochure on the side.

"Ding!"

"The martial arts big player system is loaded!"

In my mind, a crisp electronic sound suddenly sounded.

Lin Mang's pupils opened slightly.

This is... a system?

【Name】: Lin Mang

[Identity]: Jin Yiwei Xiaoqi

[Realm]: The second level of the day after tomorrow

[Exercise]: Iron Cloth Shirt (Introductory)

【Energy】:50

"I discovered the skill "Iron Cloth Shirt". Do I need to spend 50 energy to practice it?"

Suddenly there was a panel in front of me, and a line of text below.

"Is it really a system?" Lin Mang was ecstatic.

As a time traveler, I naturally know that the system is a must for time travellers.

"yes!"

I know from my memory that the original iron-making cloth shirt endured a lot of hardships, but even so, it is now only the second level of the acquired state.

The path of martial arts is divided into acquired, innate, true energy, Tiangang, master, and great master.

But martial arts training is about talent first and resources second.

Unfortunately, the original body did not occupy any of these two things.

The talent can only be said to be barely adequate, but the practice is too late, missing the golden time, and the resources are not to mention.

Suddenly, countless powerful forces surged through the body, limbs and bones.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for breaking through to the fifth level of acquired life!"

"Huh?" Lin Mang's eyes lit up and he said in surprise, "Is this a breakthrough?"

From the second level of the day after tomorrow, directly to the fifth level of the day after tomorrow?

It's somewhat unbelievable.

"Huh~" Lin Mang breathed out lightly, looked at his hands, and smiled with satisfaction.

Even if you practice hard for a year, you may not be able to achieve the results you have now.

"Creak..."

At this moment, the door to the room was carefully pushed open.

Immediately afterwards, a slightly nervous voice came from outside the door.

"Master~"

"Master~"

Lin Mang heard the voice of the person outside the door, but he did not speak for the time being.

The people outside the door seemed relieved when they saw no movement for a long time, and then strode in.

The visitor passed through the screen and the moment he raised his head, he met a pair of unruffled eyes.
