Chapter 001: The Relentless Assassin
The time machine encountered an accident, resulting not only in the absence of high-tech products such as handguns and computers, but also leaving us uncertain about how to have our next meal. What should we do next? Is it truly as we initially promised Doctor Song, to save the people from peril?
Hearing this, Taishi Kun's mind became active: Zhang Dahu is a timid and weak person; if he could be released, he would be an excellent target for extortion.
As long as the valiant man does not take the life of this humble servant, I will comply with you! How could the woman know the true intentions of Tai Shi Kun? She indeed swayed her ample hips and walked up to Tai Shi Kun.
Why is it said that this idle person has a unique appearance? It turns out that this individual has a thick waist and broad shoulders, yet stands less than 5 feet tall. Moreover, he has an ugly face and a ridiculous mind, which perfectly corresponds to his name "Gushu Pi".
The maid, upon hearing these words, was so shocked that she burst into tears. As she wept, she said: "If the brave man has killed that pair of adulterers, it would be a righteous act even if reported to the authorities. Why must he kill a mere maid to silence her?"
Upon hearing Taishi Kun's words, the maid stopped crying and broke into a smile, her alluring figure becoming even more enticing. She replied, "Inform the warrior that Master Zhang has been confined in the dry well in the back courtyard by the Yu family, with no one watching over him!"
The man was so focused on avoiding the thick phlegm that he had no way to guard against this "leg lift". All of a sudden, there was a "crack" sound like that of a broken eggshell, and the tattooed man clamped his legs tightly, howling as he fell to his knees.
Tai Shikun watched as the woman slowly sank into the water, finally letting out a sigh of relief. He washed his hands in the pool, then found a stone platform to sit down and sort through the chaotic thoughts in his mind
Thick phlegm is something that cannot be blocked or avoided; the tattooed man became flustered, losing nine-tenths of his martial prowess in an instant
Before long, Gu Shupi was pulling the rope down the well. Taishi Kun exerted his strength with both arms, pulling up Gu Shupi along with an old man on his back from the well.
This Yu woman is certainly not of a virtuous character. The more her husband respects her, the more she seeks to engage in unscrupulous activities. She has seduced a robust merchant from the Liao Kingdom, who has business dealings with her family, and often looks for opportunities to indulge in secret pleasures with him
The man was robust, with a fierce wolf's head tattooed on his chest. He approached within ten meters of Taishi Kun, suddenly bent his body, and without asking a word, directly launched an attack on Taishi Kun
The maid said: "Returning, brave warrior, this manor was originally a villa belonging to the Zhang family. In order to facilitate their secret pleasures, the Yu family has long sent away all the servants of this villa. Now, there is only one idle man named Gu Shupi guarding the gate, responsible for fetching water and carrying away the waste every day"
This maid, with a face like a peach blossom and brows like a new moon, is already remarkable; however, the key lies in the alluring charm that emanates from her very bones. The spring-like hues between her lips and brows are impossible to conceal, igniting a surge of wicked desire within Taishi Kunsheng!
Tai Shikun had long harbored the intention of silencing the woman, indifferent to her feelings, and simply seized her with a violent grip
Although Gu Shupi has a unique appearance, he possesses a good heart. Upon hearing that Taishi Kun wanted him to go down the well to rescue Zhang Dahu, he did not inquire about the reasons nor did he ponder the matter further; he simply found a long rope for Taishi Kun to hold and truly descended into the well.
Instead, the man let out a grunt of anger, turned over, and emerged from the pool, approaching Tai Shikun with a sullen expression
The act of righteousness? Tai Shikun was quite astonished and thus called upon the charming maid to elaborate on the matter.
The maid, seeing the complexion of Taishi Kun turn pale and red, felt even more frightened in her heart and repeatedly pleaded, "Hero, spare my life!"
Will Taishi Kun allow someone who hates him to live? He has provided the answer through his actions
Gushu Pi?" Tai Shikun shook his head a few times upon hearing such an awkward name. He approached the courtyard gate and called out a few times, and sure enough, a uniquely shaped idler responded.
"Hey! Watch the fist!" Tai Shikun shouted, his right foot sweeping down towards the tattooed man's groin with a faint sound of wind.
Aow ... ... Bang !
In the beginning, when Taishi Kun agreed to the idea of the Song doctor’s degree traveling back to ancient times, he likely held a somewhat joking attitude. However, at this moment, Taishi Kun finally realized that the seemingly eccentric Song doctor’s degree was indeed an extraordinary being beyond this world
Just as Taishi Kun thought of this, he heard a rustling sound coming from the thicket beside him
Tai Shikun observed the situation and merely let out a disdainful cold snort. The tattooed man displayed a fierce fighting stance, yet in Tai Shikun's eyes, the methods employed by this tattooed man were simply too straightforward and honorable.
The tattooed man let out a muffled groan, and a spray of white and red viscous fluid erupted from the back of his head. He collapsed to the ground, twitching his legs a few times before succumbing to death.
Tai Shikun screamed as he fell heavily to the ground
This is a courtyard surrounded by vermilion walls, filled with exotic flowers and grasses, as well as towering pines and cypress trees. A gentle stream winds past a jade-railed stone bridge, converging into a pool of emerald water within the courtyard. Mist swirls above the emerald water, where a pair of men and women are playfully frolicking.
The woman, upon witnessing her lover being killed, was already so frightened that her face lost all color. She wished to escape, but unfortunately, walking in the water was difficult, and coupled with her weak legs, she struggled in the water for quite some time without making much progress.
To have Taishi Kun go down into the well to rescue someone is absolutely not feasible with just the resources of the library. He asked the maid, "Are there any other servants in this village? We must find one or two to go down into the well and bring out Zhang, the wealthy household's member."
Zhang Dahu, having regained his freedom, was filled with emotions. Gu Shupi and the maid were both his own servants, so he had little to say to them; instead, he repeatedly expressed his gratitude to Taishi Kun. Especially after the maid informed Zhang Dahu of how Taishi Kun had killed the Yu family and the Liao people, Zhang Dahu earnestly invited Taishi Kun to speak in the main hall.
Upon witnessing this scene, Taishi Kun understood in his heart that he had likely truly arrived in ancient times
This dry well appears to be quite old. Tai Shikun leaned over to look into the bottom of the well, only to see a dark void with no visible bottom. He tossed a piece of tile into the well, and after a while, he heard a scream coming from the depths. It turns out that the charming maid was not speaking in vain; indeed, there was someone hidden at the bottom of the well
Tai Shikun's loud shouting had already startled a pair of men and women in the pond. The woman in the pond was a plump and fair-skinned lady, her naked body mostly exposed above the water, and she made no effort to cover herself, merely sizing up Tai Shikun and chuckling.
Taishi Kun revealed a smile to the charming maid and said gently, "Since that is the case, I certainly will not take your life. I just do not know where that prominent household is being held captive. Is there anyone guarding it?"
Tai Shikun, upon hearing the woman's wails, still managed to struggle, so he seized the woman's head and struck it down once more
The old man who was brought up by the bark of the tree was none other than Zhang Dahu. Although Zhang Dahu had been confined at the bottom of the well for several days, the Yu family provided him with some food and drink every day, so he was still in relatively good spirits
Tai Shikun looked at the maid with regret and said: "Since you have witnessed me committing murder, how can I spare your life? I can only wish that in your next life, you may be born into a good family!"
This blow left the woman in a state of utter despair, with blood flowing profusely.
With this blow, the woman’s three souls fled to the east and her seven spirits to the west, her pale, flabby body gradually turning cold
Tai Shikun laughed heartily and said to the woman, "You should take a look at my attire; I am completely bare, not a single thread on me. How can I leave? I must have you escort me to fetch some money before I can depart!"
Tai Shikun found a piece of cloth by the pond, draped it over himself to cover his modesty, and had a maid lead the way directly to the dry well in the backyard
Tai Shikun bent down to pick up a piece of blue stone weighing about ten-odd pounds, clasped it with both hands, and with a "bang," brought it down onto the tattooed man's forehead
Tai Shikun was taken aback internally, yet maintained an impassive exterior. He fixed his peripheral gaze on the source of the sound, discovering a trembling maid in a green shirt hidden in the grass. Realizing that it was not an ambush by guards or estate workers, Tai Shikun felt a sense of relief and quickly approached the spot where the maid was concealed.
Cough... Spit!
Tai Shikun hooked the maid's chin with his finger, and upon taking a closer look, he couldn't help but exclaim inwardly: What a beauty!
Tai Shikun reached out and seized the woman's hair. Upon seeing Tai Shikun's murderous intent, the woman struggled desperately, but with a grip that exerted several hundred pounds of force, how could she, a mere woman, possibly escape? Tai Shikun held the woman's head and violently slammed it against the stone edge of the pond.
The Yu woman experienced the exquisite pleasure of robust men, becoming increasingly unable to restrain herself. Eventually, she colluded with the Liao people to imprison Zhang Dahu, and together with the Liao people, she occupied his nest, indulging in revelry day and night, until she was discovered and killed by Taishi Kun
Tai Shikun assessed the tattooed man; it was evident that this man's lower half had completely ruined both his present and future. His latter life was destined to be consumed by an endless resentment towards Tai Shikun
It turns out that the pair killed by Taishi Kun were two ill-fated lovers; the woman was the wife of a wealthy man named Zhang from this county, known as Yu, while the man was a merchant from the Liao Kingdom, a Khitan.
Zhang Dahu, a wealthy man with a fortune in the millions, owned several estates and was well-known far and wide as a great tycoon. However, he was unfortunately plagued by a fear of his wife, Yu, whose strictness he greatly respected. After reaching the age of fifty, Zhang Dahu began to suffer from ailments such as back pain and frequent urination, making it increasingly difficult for him to satisfy the demands of his formidable wife, Yu. Consequently, he became even more submissive to her.
One does not stop at one thing, nor does one rest at two. Since there is a life in hand, it is only right to silence the eyewitness as well. Taishi Kun discarded the blue stone and walked towards the woman in the water pool
The maid, at the age of seventeen or eighteen, hid in the shadows and witnessed the methods by which Taishi Kun killed two people. At this moment, she was so frightened that she was at a loss, not daring to escape
This blow caused the woman to see stars and her ears to ring like thunder
Tai Shikun waited until the tattooed man approached, neither dodging nor avoiding, and simply spat a mouthful of thick phlegm onto the man's face.
The tattooed man was taken aback upon seeing this thick phlegm, and a wave of nausea surged within him

As Taishi Kun approached closer, the woman had no choice but to speak: "Hero, spare my life! That man who just died is of no consequence! If you wish to leave, please do so without hesitation!"
The pain from the little brother was suddenly replaced by a dizzying sensation in his head, and it took a full three minutes for Taishi Kun's consciousness to gradually return.
