Fast Time Travel: The Villain's Self-Saving Strategy

On the ninth day of October, it was sunny and the autumn air was crisp. It was an ordinary study day for Mu Yang to prepare for the rural examination in August next year.

A cute snow-white pigeon flew unsteadily to Mu Yang's window, its clumsy posture made people laugh.

"Huh?" Mu Yang, who was originally concentrating on reading, suddenly paused for a second when he saw the pigeon. He has already learned the induction technique, and now his perception has been improved several times, but he can't feel the breath of creatures on this pigeon!

"Interesting," Mu Yang said with a sudden smile, "Looks like it's those things again." Mu Yang unceremoniously grabbed the clumsy pigeon, and roughly squeezed it tightly in his hands until the clumsy pigeon Slowly lose breath.Mu Yang's expression and eyes were not moved at all from the beginning to the end.

Strangely, the pigeon's "corpse" began to change slowly, becoming smaller and thinner, and finally turned into a small piece of paper spread out in Mu Yang's palm.

"Sure enough." Mu Yang was not surprised at all, he casually opened the note inside, and there was only one sentence on it, "Tomorrow at [-]:[-] noon, the Taoist priest, meet with the bamboo forest outside the city."

"[-]:[-] p.m.? Could it be the Taoist priest from last time?" Mu Yang rubbed his chin, "I won't go."

What is there for a Taoist to see?He just wants to concentrate on preparing for the exam now. Let's deal with these Taoist priests after he finishes the exam.Just ignore them this time.Just as Mu Yang made up his mind, the system that never interfered with Mu Yang unexpectedly spoke up.

[Suggest the host to go]

"Reason?" Mu Yang was careless.

[The host may have an unstable mood, the system needs to collect data for further analysis]

"Mood unstable?"

Mu Yang suddenly fell silent, and he suddenly remembered the violent emotions that he had almost been unable to hold back several times before, including the fact that he directly and brutally crushed the pigeon to death just now, even though it was not a real pigeon.Now that Mu Yang has not completely lost his mind, he also realizes that there may be some problems with him.

"Are you saying that there is a loophole in my state of mind? Is it because of practicing Tao Te Ching? Or because I drank the old man's ginseng soup?"

[The reason cannot be determined at present, more information is needed, so it is recommended that the host go there]

"How can that Taoist help?" Mu Yang was thoughtful.

[The system requires an analysis of the principle of Taoism practice system]

"Understood." Mu Yang nodded, "It seems necessary to take a trip. I don't know if that Taoist is soft or hard?" Mu Yang thought.Recalling the performance of that Taoist priest last time, I had an idea in my heart after a while.

……

The next day, in the bamboo forest outside the city, it was three quarters in the afternoon.

"Infinite life and blessings, I have seen the young master."

"Why did the Daoist make an appointment to meet me?" Mu Yang smiled.

"Pindao came here this time to understand cause and effect." The Taoist saluted and continued, "Back then, Pindao reminded the young master and his family that it was the cause, but now the result..."

"Is the Taoist priest talking about this?" Mu Yang suddenly took out a piece of ginseng and flashed it at the Taoist priest.

The Taoist saluted calmly, "Blessings of Infinite Life." Nothing seemed to have changed.But how can he hide it from Mu Yang who has practiced the induction technique?He didn't miss the Taoist priest's glinting greedy eyes and trembling hands.

"It seems that Taoist Master's heart is not cultivated very well?" Mu Yang suddenly laughed.

"What do you mean by that, son?" The Taoist shuddered suddenly and quickly returned to normal.

"It's nothing, it's just..."

"You—" The Taoist looked at the long sword stuck in his belly in disbelief, and slowly raised his head to look at Mu Yang.

"Pfft——" Mu Yang drew out his long sword carelessly, the silver sword was covered with blood, "It seems that the Taoist priest not only cultivated his mind improperly, but even this skill is not very good!"

"..." The Taoist hurriedly covered the wound with his hands, as if he was looking for something.

"Daoist, you don't need to look for the elixir, the sword is poisonous." Mu Yang smiled, and the smile made the Taoist shudder, "The Taoist is very curious why I suddenly shot?"

"To be honest, I'm also very curious. How bold is the Taoist priest to lure ginseng essence to the county guard's mansion, so as to take advantage of the chaos? But it seems that things are a bit out of your expectation?"

"Why do you..." The Taoist said intermittently, his face began to turn purple, it seemed that the poison had already taken effect.

"It's a pity that the ginseng essence has been dealt with by me. The Taoist priest didn't take advantage of it, and now he wants to fool me?" Mu Yang shook his head, "If the Taoist priest has some skills, I would like to be better with the Taoist priest, and I won't be stingy about this It's a pity to point things outside of the body... It seems that the Taoist priest can only deceive the eyes, so there is no need to keep the worthless things."

After Mu Yang finished speaking, he didn't look at the Taoist's reaction anymore. After calculating, it was almost time, and the Taoist should be finished.

Sure enough, the Taoist lost his breath in a short while, his whole body changed color, and he died of poison.

Mu Yang went to fumble slowly, and found out the scriptures in the skirt of the Taoist priest.

"It's the "South China Classic", the content is the same, but on it..." Mu Yang's eyes lit up, "It's full of annotations!"

Carefully put away the "Nanhua Sutra", Mu Yang then took out a small porcelain bottle, poured a few drops of transparent liquid on the Taoist priest's body, and the Taoist priest disappeared with a frightening speed visible to the naked eye, "It really works."

When he was idle and bored, he made this thing according to the formula in the booklet compiled by his grandfather. It really is the standard equipment for destroying corpses.So far, no one knows that a Taoist priest has disappeared here without a sound.

……

"System, have you analyzed it?"

[The host forcibly practiced the Tao Te Ching, resulting in an unstable mood]

What the hell? !

For the first time, Mu Yang showed a bewildered expression, and then he gritted his teeth and said, "System, are you serious? I practice Taoism, virtue, classics, walking, fire, entry, magic, etc.?"

[Please refer to the third page of Chapter 5 of Nanhua Sutra Annotation to the host]

Mu Yang put away the absurd thoughts in his heart, and after reading what the system said, he understood.

There are three kinds of Taoism cultivation, cultivation of cause and effect, cultivation of merit, and cultivation of mind.The first two have specific Taoist methods, and they are practiced in conjunction with scriptures.In the past, the Taoist priest was cultivating cause and effect. He had to plant the cause before he could reap the fruit. He did not hesitate to use methods, progressed quickly, and gained a lot. It is easier to cultivate merit and virtue, that is, to keep doing good deeds, but it is thankless. Be safe; the last kind of mind cultivation is to see the nature clearly, constantly analyze yourself, and temper your state of mind. Only when the state of mind is reached can you continue to practice.

"The Taoist priest doesn't have the specific combination of the first two cultivation methods." Mu Yang frowned. At this moment, he also understood that he had embarked on the road of cultivating his mind in a daze, but he had never tempered his state of mind, which led to the previous ones. Strange situation again and again.

[It is recommended that the host stop practicing the Tao Te Ching immediately and temper his state of mind first]

"System, the cultivation rules of this world are only useful for this world, right?"

【Yes】

"Then continue to practice." An inexplicable light flashed in Mu Yang's eyes, "I don't want to wait anymore, it's too slow! As long as the Tao Te Ching is still useful for my exams, I will continue to practice! When I leave this plane, the sequelae will also disappear. just disappeared."

……

In August of the following year, Mu Yang successfully passed the provincial examination and became a Juren. So far, the task of the examination has been completed.

[The countdown to the completion of the main task, please master the time by yourself]

"The next step is to have power over the government..."

Mu Yang did not stop taking the exam just because he completed the imperial examination task, he fell into a more crazy study mode again, ginseng soup and Tao Te Ching were already standard, and the system had warned about the sequelae of Tao Te Ching, but Mu Yang But he chose to continue drinking poison to quench his thirst, because he wanted to become a powerful minister as quickly as possible, and then use the power of the entire court to slaughter all the spirits, monsters, demons, and Taos in the world!

The hard work paid off, and Mu Yang passed the exam, but he was not the champion he expected, but Tan Hualang.The number one scholar is a 45-year-old middle-aged scholar, and Mu Yang has no regrets.Because he, Tanhualang, is young, promising, and talented, the emperor wants to betroth a princess to him!

There are advantages and disadvantages to marrying a princess. The advantage is the connections and the emperor's trust, but the disadvantage is that it is difficult for a son-in-law to become a powerful minister.But Mu Yang finally agreed. He didn't want to go through the normal channels to slowly build up his qualifications, and then control the government and the public. He wanted to gain the emperor's trust once and for all!Marrying a princess is undoubtedly a shortcut.

Afterwards, Mu Yang felt something was wrong with his whole body, exuding an aura that seemed to be about to erupt every day.But in front of others, he still has to pretend to be a handsome young master of the Zhuoshijia. The more repressed he is, the more violent he becomes, and the murderous intent in his heart becomes heavier.After marrying the princess, on the surface he worked diligently to be a good husband, son, and courtier; secretly, he took advantage of the status of the princess to deliberately plan a series of events.

As a result, hauntings, ghosts, monsters and other incidents came out from time to time in the palace, causing panic.In a miraculous event that alarmed the emperor, when everyone was frightened out of their wits, Mu Yang "accidentally" showed his talent and ability, rescued everyone, and successfully gained the emperor's trust.

Since then, the emperor often called Mu Yang into the palace to give lectures and read scriptures, and was very interested in these miraculous things.Mu Yang also guided, intentionally or unintentionally, and selflessly passed on his own "exclusive secret book" to the emperor. Unfortunately, the emperor did not have the aptitude of Taoism and could not practice.But the emperor was not disappointed, on the contrary, he valued Mu Yang even more.Thanks to Mu Yang's deliberate operation and unremitting efforts, in just three years, he was specially conferred the title of "National Teacher" by the emperor.

After Mu Yang got the order, he started drastic reforms.Establish an intelligence agency to comprehensively collect strange people and strange events throughout the Great Xia Dynasty; call up capable people and strangers, hire them with official positions, lure them with benefits, and threaten them with force. He was executed by Mu Yang on the charge of disturbing the imperial court; the subdivision of the Mystery Department was established according to the region, and a special person was assigned to take charge; an evaluation system of the Mythology was established, classified according to the level of danger and emergency, and then specific solutions were formulated according to the level...

Mu Yang never relaxed, not for any other reason, he felt that he had gradually begun to lose control of his violent emotions and killing intent, and only the blood of spirits and monsters could calm him down!

ten years.For a whole ten years, Mu Yang still stayed in this plane of ghosts and gods.I don't know if it's because of his killing intent and evil spirit over the past ten years, Mu Yang has no children, and the princess has been depressed all the time, and died of illness a year ago.

"But it's finally finished."

Compared with ten years ago, Mu Yang is actually no different on the surface, especially since he has practiced martial arts and Tao Te Ching, he looks like a handsome young man.Except for the inexplicably cold and timid murderous aura and resentment that would make people feel inexplicably cold when he got close, Mu Yang felt that he was quite normal.

In fact, Mu Yang accomplished the task of giving power to the government and the public as early as five years ago.At the beginning of his Shenyi Division's establishment, it was just a place that people looked down upon. In the past five years, Mu Yang used his own means to make the Shenyi Division a place of desperation that everyone in the government and the public were afraid of. The method made everyone fearful.

"Today is the last batch..." Mu Yang sighed, his eyes full of relief.He could have left five years ago, but he insisted on waiting until now. Now, he can also proudly say that from now on, there will be no more ghosts, gods, monsters, or Taoist spirits in the entire Great Xia Dynasty!

"But we have to wait until today's batch is completely..."

"Boss, why did you call us here?"

While Mu Yang was waiting, a group of people wearing uniform robes gathered in twos and threes, and one of them asked Mu Yang suspiciously, if these people were all his subordinates in the Department of Miracles.

"Looks like it's all here." Mu Yang nodded, "Do any of you still remember what I said when the Division of Miracles was created?"

"Exterminate the ghosts and gods in the world, and slaughter the demons in the world!" A young man with braids answered without hesitation, looking at Mu Yang with admiration in his eyes.

"Yes, over the years, we have almost exterminated the spirits, ghosts, and Taoist priests of the Great Xia Dynasty, and destroyed all the temples. It can be said that everyone present here has contributed a lot!" Mu Yang suddenly raised his voice. Emotionally speaking, when these people calmed down a bit, they lowered their voices and said slowly, "Today, we ushered in the last battle..."

As Mu Yang was talking, the people around him began to realize that something was wrong, and a raging fire started to ignite around his group, appearing suddenly like a magic trick, and the fire was fierce like a dragon and was about to swallow everyone!

"And we are the last batch of aliens in this world..." A familiar voice sounded in everyone's ears, with a hint of sadness and more determination.

……

"No! No! You lunatic! I don't want to die!" Someone reacted and began to resist and run away.

"Madman! If you miss, die yourself!"

"Run!"

Mu Yang didn't move, he watched those people fleeing indifferently, and then quickly let out a scream and disappeared into the sea of ​​flames.But he also saw that there were also some people, just like him, standing quietly, looking at him, motionless, as if waiting for something... The young man with the braids just now was also inside.

Mu Yang was shocked, and his heart was a little complicated. From their eyes, he saw understanding, relief, and relief. There was no resentment or unwillingness. Standing in a circle scatteredly, as if holding some sacred ceremony, waiting for something, and behind him is a raging sea of ​​flames...

【Host, you can leave now】

"No, let's wait until the end." Mu Yang suddenly smiled, "These remaining people are the same as me. I want to share the same pain with them."

The fire quickly spread to the body, and the pain of being burned was uncomfortable for everyone, but after all, they are not ordinary people, so they can persist for a while, but this persistence is now suffering.

Seeing them being completely engulfed in front of him one after another, Mu Yang couldn't describe his mood at the moment, because he was in so much pain that he could hardly hold on anymore, "System, let's go."

[The task of this plane is achieved, leaving the plane]

……

[Plane escape failed]

"System?" Mu Yang asked with the last bit of waking consciousness.

[Host, something went wrong.Your coordinates of the real plane are lost, and you can’t go back to the real plane]

"what!?"
