In Jambudvīpa, there are sixteen major countries and eighty-four thousand cities.

In a county town near the sea, a famous opera troupe was performing magic tricks.

Among the crowd of onlookers, an old man was sitting on a wooden chair. He was the county magistrate, Mr. Pan.

Mr. Pan is old and has no connections in the court, so he has long given up the desire for promotion. He usually likes to listen to music and watch operas. Naturally, he would not miss a tour like this famous opera troupe.

Seeing a strange father and son walking out of the stage, Master Pan called over the troupe owner beside him and asked with interest: "I've heard that your troupe has many talents, including a father and son who can reverse the seasons, picking peaches in spring and ice in summer. Are they?"

The old owner of the troupe smiled and replied, "That's right!"

Mr. Pan became interested: "What a coincidence, it is spring now, why don't we ask them to bring a peach to our county to taste?"

The old boss immediately agreed with a smile.

He strode onto the stage and repeated Master Pan's request into the ears of the father and son.

After hearing this, the father's face changed and he said a few words embarrassedly.

After listening to this, the old boss's expression became serious. He said a few words loudly and then returned to Master Pan.

Master Pan asked curiously, "What did he just say to you?"

The old boss smiled bitterly and said, "To answer the county magistrate's question, he said that the ice hasn't melted yet, so how can we find peaches..."

"Oh?" Master Pan frowned and said disappointedly, "So he doesn't agree?"

The old boss changed the subject and said with a smile, "County magistrate, don't worry. There are no peaches on earth, but there must be some in the Queen Mother's Peach Garden. If you want to eat some, you can only go to heaven and steal one for you!"

"oh?"

Mr. Pan's eyes lit up and he immediately became interested.

The old boss turned around with a smile and waved to the man. The man bowed and took out a ball of rope from a bamboo box, which was about several dozen feet long.

He threw one end of the rope into the air, and actually the rope hung in the air.

The crowd watching was in an uproar, and Mr. Pan sat up straight, looking at the rope in surprise.

I saw the rope hanging high in the sky, rising higher and higher, and finally rising to the clouds, where it was blocked by the thick clouds.

Amid the shouts of astonishment, the man rubbed his arms, turned his head and looked at the young man beside him and said, "I am old and weak, it might be dangerous for me to climb this rope, why don't you do it for me!"

The young man seemed very embarrassed and said that the rope was too thin. If it broke midway, his life would be in danger.

The father and son sang the same tune, which made Mr. Pan very proud. He threatened to reward them with fifty taels of silver as long as they brought the peaches.

The young man then showed his delight, and quickly thanked Master Pan, then grabbed the rope and climbed up.

Soon, the boy's figure disappeared into the clouds.

Everyone craned their necks and stared at the sky with wide eyes.

After a while, a peach as big as a bowl fell from the sky.

The magician quickly caught the peach and happily presented it to Mr. Pan.

Mr. Pan looked at the peach in front of him in surprise. Before he could say anything, the rope in the sky suddenly fell down.

The man's face changed and he said in panic, "Oh no! We must have been discovered by the guards of Pantao Garden!"

Before he finished speaking, a bloody head fell from the sky. The man quickly picked up the head and took a closer look. It was indeed the young man.

He held his head and burst into tears. Master Pan was also frightened. He stood up in astonishment without caring whether the peach was real or not.

At this moment, the boy's arms, legs and torso fell from the sky again. He was actually dismembered.

The man picked up all the parts of the boy's body one by one and put them into the bamboo box. Then he knelt down in front of Master Pan and said in great sorrow: "My son was killed because he stole peaches for you. I beg you to have mercy on me and give me some money to take care of my funeral!"

Hearing this, Mr. Pan did not think too much about it, and immediately asked someone to take out gold and silver as a reward for him.

The man took the reward, stood up with a smile, patted the bamboo box and said, "My son, why don't you come out quickly and thank the county magistrate for the reward?"

As he spoke, the lid of the bamboo box was pushed open, and the young man, who was in pieces just now, now appeared intact and bowed to Master Pan to express his gratitude.

Seeing this scene, Mr. Pan was stunned. Fortunately, he had seen many magic tricks, so he did not feel that he was cheated. Instead, he was the first to applaud and cheer loudly.

There was thunderous applause. The father and son thanked the folks with a smile and then left the stage.

Coming to the backstage, the young man leaned back in a rattan chair and let out a long sigh.

"Uncle Zhang, you always ended by hiding in the bamboo box, why did you ask me to come out and thank you this time?"

Uncle Zhang, who played the father, was packing up the rattan box while smiling and saying, "Xiao Du, in our line of work, we have to be able to adapt to circumstances and know how to act according to the situation!"

"Mr. Pan has a kind personality and likes magic tricks. He won't regard magic tricks as a crime of deception. In the future, he may invite our troupe to perform again. Naturally, we can't exhaust all the resources like before..."

At this point, Uncle Zhang fell back into his old habit and began to nag and educate the seventeen-year-old boy.

The young man had a wry smile on his face. He sat on a rattan chair and listened to Uncle Zhang's chatter while he immersed his mind in his dantian and began to nourish the extremely tiny warm current in his dantian.

The boy’s name is Du Qian. He is a time traveler and he has traveled through time twice.

The first time he traveled to the Three Kingdoms world and became the elderly Tao Qian.

At that time, with his foresight, he successfully made several important decisions, which changed the fate of Xuzhou.

But unfortunately, Tao Qian's health was so poor at that time. He only lived in that world for less than ten years before he died and traveled to another world again.

This time, his luck was still not good.

Because the young man who was possessed by him was a little beggar who was beaten to death by thugs.

When Du Qian thought that he would die young in his tragic second life, a troupe of actors came to the dilapidated temple outside the county town.

Uncle Zhang discovered him and quickly asked the old boss to come over and take a look. The old boss felt his aptitude and said that he could learn the magic trick of the rope, so he took him away and took care of him until now.

Du Qian was also very grateful.

Since he learned the rope trick, he and Uncle Zhang set up a stage and earned a lot of gold and silver for the troupe.

At the same time, the old master couldn't bear to see his talent go to waste, so he taught him the basic skills he had practiced.

It was not until then that Du Qian finally realized that this world was not an ordinary world, but an extraordinary world where immortals, demons, and Buddhas existed.

After discovering this, Du Qian naturally became unwilling to spend the rest of his life in a drama troupe.

He began to look for various hidden masters, trying to embark on the path of cultivation, but until now, he has only practiced the old master's skills, and none of those so-called masters are real masters.

But Du Qian did not gain nothing. During the two years he spent in the market, he accidentally learned the background of this world.

It was a relatively remote village. The troupe settled in the village and rested for a night. That night, corpses appeared on the mass grave. An invulnerable zombie broke into the village and killed many villagers.

The most powerful old boss of the troupe stepped forward to stop them, but was still seriously injured by the zombies.

Afterwards, the old boss led everyone to evacuate the village urgently, without insisting on solving the village’s problems like in movies and TV dramas.

In the words of the old boss, he has done his best, and whether the village can survive this disaster depends on their own luck.

Two months later, the troupe passed by the village again and found that the village had returned to peace.

Du Qian became curious, so he changed his appearance and went into the village to ask. It turned out that after they left, a Taoist priest who claimed to be an exorcist appeared in the village and easily killed the zombie with thunder magic.

Upon hearing the news, Du Qian had no time to regret missing out on the master before another word attracted his full attention.

——The Exorcist!

Hearing this rather Westernized title in a world with an Eastern background immediately reminded Du Qian of a movie by Stephen Chow, Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons, which produced many famous memes.

Could it be that this world is the world of Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons?

Du Qian only had a suspicion at the time, but as time passed, he found more evidence.

Among them, the one that can be regarded as ironclad evidence is the legendary Thirteen Guardians of Mount Huaguo who were famous five hundred years ago...

That’s right, the Thirteen Guardians of Flower-Fruit Mountain!

Such a ridiculous and resounding name can only appear in Stephen Chow’s nonsensical world.

After confirming the information about this world, Du Qian changed his target accordingly.

He didn't plan to look for some famous hermit master. He planned to look for exorcists who had appeared in movies and choose a character that was easier to fool to become his apprentice.

The exorcist he is looking for now is the man who practiced Xingyi Five Elements Boxing in the movie.

I heard that he had recently killed a black bear demon nearby, so Du Qian suggested that the old troupe owner come to this county to perform...

"bite--"

Just as Du Qian closed his eyes and thought, a soft sound suddenly rang in his mind.

Du Qian suddenly sat up from the rattan chair and looked around in confusion.

Then, clearer words rang in his mind.

"The system is being installed. Please wait for a moment."

What...what is this?

Du Qian opened his mouth wide and sat blankly on the rattan chair.

When he came to his senses, he couldn't help but look excited.

After experiencing two tragic worlds, is his golden finger finally coming?

Du Qian widened his eyes and asked in his mind with expectation: "System, are you there?"

"The system is being installed. Please wait for a moment."

Du Qian asked several times in a row, but each time he only got a mechanical response.

Obviously, this system should not have any conversational intelligence.

This is a good thing for Du Qian.

Du Qian stopped calling the system and waited patiently for the system to be installed.

Until that night, when Du Qian was lying in bed, he finally heard the notification that the system installation was complete.

He immediately stood up, sat on the edge of the bed with a sharp gaze, and tentatively called out the system.

In an instant, a panel made of silver light appeared before his eyes.

Written in large silver letters on it was:

[Properties panel]

【Name: Du Qian】

[Age: 17 years old]

[Root bone: inferior]

【Physique: 0.89】

[Spirit: 3.46]

[Realm: Not in the mainstream]

[Kung Fu: "Unknown Internal Kung Fu"]

[Magic power: none]

【evaluate:……】

Du Qian knew that his attributes must be terrible, so he quickly glanced over the entries above and looked at the entry at the bottom.

Sure enough, just like the routine in the online articles he had read, at the bottom of the panel, there was an entry called Lottery Opportunity.

At the end of the entry, a silver number [1] was clearly displayed, which made Du Qian smile with joy and excitement.

He took a deep breath and said decisively: "System, I want to draw a lottery!"
