Young Master, Don't Show Off - Chapter 1
[Chapter 1 Daxia Dynasty]
“In the tenth year of Xuanyuan, the five stars were out of alignment, and stars fell like rain in the night, destroying two houses and injuring one person.”
——
“Daxia Chronicles·Volume 13”
Daxia Dynasty, Observation of the Heavens.
The imperial astronomer recorded a sentence in the bamboo book and went to do other things.
Although meteorites are rare, they occur every few years. Moreover, the meteor shower that fell in the city last night was mostly stopped by the court officials. Except for a poor son of a fallen noble who was slightly injured, there were no serious consequences.
As an imperial astronomer, he only needed to record a simple sentence in the bamboo book about the celestial phenomenon last night. As for the unlucky guy who almost died under the meteorite, he was not even qualified to leave his name in the history books.
Across the street from the Observation of the Heavens, in a mansion, several servants were carefully moving some bricks, stones and broken wood outside the mansion.
A meteorite fell from the sky last night and landed in the mansion. Not only did it destroy a house, but even the young master was injured and has not woken up since then.
At this time, on a soft couch in a room in the backyard of the mansion, a handsome young man’s eyelashes trembled.
Lin Xiu vaguely remembered that he had made an appointment with the girl he met in the bar three days ago to watch the Perseid meteor shower together in the evening.
When Lin Xiu prepared steak, red wine, and candles, and went to the balcony to debug the astronomical telescope, he suddenly saw a light spot from the lens tube.
The light spot became bigger and bigger, and finally turned into a light ball with a long tail. The strong light made Lin Xiu unable to open his eyes, and then he knew nothing.
Thinking of this, Lin Xiu slowly opened his eyes.
Then he saw a square face.
A man with a beard was looking down at him.
Seeing Lin Xiu open his eyes, the man seemed very excited and blurted out: “Master, you are awake!”
Looking at the strange man in front of him, Lin Xiu looked alert: “Who are you and why are you in my house?”
The square-faced man was shocked when he heard this: “Master, don’t you recognize me!”
A moment later.
A figure stumbled out of the mansion, stood on the street, and looked at everything around him blankly.
People walked by him and couldn’t help pointing and talking.
“Isn’t this the young master of the Lin family? I heard that he was hit by a meteorite last night?”
“Why does he look so stupid? He doesn’t even wear shoes. Is he stupid?”
The comments of passers-by fell into Lin Xiu’s ears, but he didn’t listen to a word. His mind was blank, and he just stood there stupidly until he saw someone flying in the distance, flying past him, and soon disappeared at the end of his sight.
“Someone is flying…”
Lin Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, a smile appeared on his face, and murmured: “It turned out to be a dream…”
After a dizzy spell, Lin Xiu lost consciousness again.
Lin Xiu hoped so much that he would wake up and lie on his bed at home, next to the beautiful girl he met in the bar, but when he opened his eyes again, he still saw that square face. The
square-faced man said in surprise: “Master, you are awake again!”
Lin Xiu smiled bitterly: “Haha, it’s still a dream…”
The square-faced man grabbed Lin Xiu’s shoulders and shook them hard: “Master, this is not a dream, wake up…”
The man’s hand was very strong, and Lin Xiu’s shoulder was painful.
Lin Xiu woke up, and woke up completely.
…
The quaint streets were bustling with people and the hawking sounds were endless.
Lin Xiu and the square-faced man sat on the stone steps at the door, with one hand on his chin, watching pedestrians in ancient costumes walk past him, but his eyes were out of focus. The
square-faced man next to him told him that this was the Great Xia Dynasty, and he was Lin Xiu, the son of the Earl of Ping’an, who was knocked unconscious by a meteorite that fell from the sky last night.
But in Lin Xiu’s own memory, he was clearly from China in the 21st century. Last night, he was going to watch the meteor shower with a girl he had just met, and after watching it, they discussed life in depth, and then, there was nothing else.
He appeared in the Earl of Ping’an’s mansion and became Lin Xiu, the son of the Earl of Ping’an in the Great Xia Dynasty.
Lin Xiu clearly remembered that before he lost consciousness yesterday, he saw a magnified meteor through the astronomical telescope.
He seemed to be hit by a meteor…
Lin Xiu didn’t know what to say at this moment.
Apart from being a bit indulgent in life, he has no other shortcomings. He is always active in donating to disaster areas, often participates in charity auctions, and even takes his girlfriend to visit orphans at the children’s welfare home every month – although he takes a different girlfriend every time.
Lin Xiu admits that his love life has become richer, but he should be considered a good person.
What’s more, this kind of thing is consensual. Every relationship of his ended peacefully. Even after the breakup, his ex-girlfriend would introduce her best friend to him…
It’s unfair…
After a long time, Lin Xiu sat on the steps and sighed.
Let’s just travel through time. At least I have a second life, which is better than being killed by a meteorite.
Being stunned by the meteorite gave Lin Xiu an excuse for amnesia, and he could ask the square-faced man all kinds of questions.
Through the square-faced man beside him, Lin Xiu had a preliminary understanding of the world he was in now.
This is a world very different from the earth. In addition to humans, this world also has some other races such as the spirits, barbarians, and sea tribes. These races have their own territories, which are difficult to see in places where humans live in groups. The
human race has five dynasties and dozens of kingdoms on the mainland. Lin Xiu is in the Great Xia Dynasty, one of the five dynasties of the human race.
The five dynasties of the human race, relying on their powerful strength, formulated the rules of the continent and had absolute say in a certain area. The remaining dozens of kingdoms, either allied or vassalized, are somewhat similar to the world pattern of later generations.
Lin Xiu’s father was a fallen nobleman of the Great Xia Dynasty. He accompanied his mother back to her parents’ home these days and was not at home.
Although the Lin family is not a prominent family in the capital, they live a rich life thanks to the influence of their ancestors. Lin Xiu is the only son in the family and the only descendant of the Lin family. What
surprised Lin Xiu the most was that, unlike Earth, this was a world with magical powers.
People called that power “strange arts”.
Each kind of strange arts has strange and powerful abilities, such as controlling fire, attracting thunder, freezing ice, and even invisibility and flying – just like what Lin Xiu just saw.
As an ordinary person, it is impossible for Lin Xiu not to be greedy in the face of such supernatural power.
In his heart, Earth and here have their own advantages and disadvantages.
The Earth in the 21st century has the Internet, television, and countless entertainment methods. If Lin Xiu were asked to travel to ancient China, he would definitely not want to do it. Although
this world does not have these entertainments, it has strange arts, such as spitting fire, spitting water, making ice, and invisibility. If you can learn all of them, wouldn’t it be better than Calabash Brothers? After all, which boy didn’t dream about superpowers when he was a child?
It’s a pity that not everyone can practice strange arts. This ability is innate, and it will not be born or changed the day after tomorrow.
Moreover, each person can only awaken one kind of special skill at most, and Lin Xiu’s dream of becoming a gourd little King Kong was shattered.
Lin Xiu, the son of Ping An Bo, is just an ordinary person. He lived to the age of 18 and did not awaken any special skills. Generally speaking, the possibility of awakening special skills after adulthood is very small, and even if awakened, there is no future.
After finally crossing over, he is just a mortal–in this case, it seems that the earth is more fun.
Just when Lin Xiu felt regretful, the square-faced man beside him patted his buttocks and stood up, saying to Lin Xiu: “Master, go back, the ground is cold…”
In this world, people with special skills, although not flooded, are not uncommon. The square-faced man in front of Lin Xiu is a special skill awakener, or a special skill master.
The special skill he awakened is “power”. It is said that if this special skill is practiced to the peak, it can move mountains and fill the sea, and smash a mountain with one punch.
Of course, awakening a special skill is just the starting point of this road. The degree to which the special skill can be practiced in the end depends on personal talent and self-effort.
The square-faced man in front of him, Lin Xiu’s personal bodyguard, has ten or even dozens of times the strength of an ordinary person, but he is still far from being able to move mountains and fill the sea.
Even so, it was enough to make Lin Xiu sore for a while.
He wanted to stand up from the steps, but because he had been sitting for too long, his legs were a little numb. He just stood up halfway when he lost his balance and fell backwards.
The square-faced man hurried forward to support him.
Lin Xiu wanted to help him stand firmly, but his movements suddenly froze.
The square-faced man asked in confusion: “Master, what’s wrong?”
Lin Xiu was stunned for a while, then immediately came back to his senses, looked at the square-faced man, and said anxiously: “Give me your hand.”
The square-faced man looked at Lin Xiu, hesitated for a moment, and still honestly stretched out his hand.
His hands were much broader than those of ordinary people, giving people a very strong feeling. Lin Xiu held his hand, and her heart was filled with waves. She asked, “Do you feel anything?”
The square-faced man was stunned for a moment, his face suddenly turned pale, and he trembled and said, “Master, you are a man, and I am also a man. How could I have any feelings for you? I, I like women…”
He wanted to pull his hand out, but was held tightly by Lin Xiu.
Lin Xiu glared at him and said, “Don’t move!”
After all, Lin Xiu was his master. The square-faced man trembled and dared not struggle anymore.
Fortunately, Lin Xiu just held his hand and did not take any further action. The square-faced man gradually felt relieved.
A quarter of an hour later.
Lin Xiu breathed a sigh of relief and slowly let go of the square-faced man’s hand.
The next moment, the square-faced man ran out of the house and disappeared in an instant.
Lin Xiu ignored him, picked up half a blue brick from the corner of the yard, and with a little force, the hard blue brick was like a biscuit, and he broke off a corner…
Everyone, long time no see…
