How fast does light travel?
It covers a distance of ten thousand metres in an instant!
Li Xiu only felt his arm tremble involuntarily, and at almost the same time, his whole body became as bright as daylight.
He instinctively squinted to avoid the strong light, and when he opened his eyes a moment later, it seemed as if everything had returned to normal and the rainy night was still the same rainy night.
But for some reason, his vision became increasingly blurred, as if someone had wiped the front of his eyes several times.
The mutation was very sudden, and Li Xiu's heart tightened, but before he could confirm whether his eyes had any problems or what had happened, all that was left in front of him was darkness, as if he could no longer see anything.
Outside an old building, a silver bolt of lightning struck down and split a man holding an umbrella in two.
Strangely, however, neither the man nor the umbrella were harmed in any way, and even more strangely, the next moment, an area of about one zhang around the man holding the umbrella became blurred.
After a few seconds, everything returned to normal and the thunder sounded, but a living person had disappeared from the scene.
Panic and confusion! In the ''darkness'', Li Xiu instinctively reached out his hand to feel his way forward, but for some reason, he stepped on empty air and fell to the ground.
Gradually, the scene before his eyes returned to normal, and Li Xiu was slightly relieved that he could see again.
Uh, ... this also seems a bit abnormal.
Li Xiu looked around in surprise.
The first thing that caught his eye was a bustling green bamboo forest, and when he looked up, he saw the blue sky and white clouds between the large bamboo leaves, and the sky was clear.
Li Xiu immediately climbed up from the ground and took a quick look around.
In the bamboo forest, there was a slope covered with low green grass and green bamboo where he was standing, and that seemed to be the reason why he had just stepped forward, but he had stepped on empty air.
I have to say, this is good weather and a good place, but the only problem is that he shouldn't be here.
"What's going on here?" "Is this an illusion?"
Li Xiu picked up his coat, which he hadn't noticed had fallen to the ground, with a dazed look on his face. Then he reached out and touched the bamboo in front of him.
The green bamboo was slightly cool to the touch and its branches scratched his hand. The fresh air and the scent of the bamboo filled his nose and he could vaguely hear a few birds chirping in the distance.
It was too real to be true.
Li Xiu sat back in his original place with a surprised expression on his face, clutching his coat. It was true!
Just a few seconds ago, he was rushing home in the rainy night, holding an umbrella to protect himself from the chilly wind. But in the blink of an eye, he was sitting in a green bamboo forest under a blue sky and white clouds. If he told anyone about it, no one would believe him.
Thinking back to what had happened a few seconds ago, Li Xiu's expression suddenly became a little strange.
"Time travel"
"Is this such a tired cliché?"
Although he felt that this event was scientifically impossible in principle, after complaining for a few words, he looked around at everything that was incredibly real and had to accept that the type of time travel that had already been eliminated on Chinese websites was actually happening to him.
Having accepted that he had travelled through time, Li Xiu began to think about where he might be.
He knew about the time difference, so it was impossible for him to be in his home country in the original time and space. But it was also unlikely that he was in a foreign country.
After all, Li Xiu didn't believe that a mysterious great power would make such a big move just to take him to a foreign country.
Otherwise, this time travel would be too cheap, like a few thousand dollars on top of the cost of a passport.
It is very possible that he is no longer in the original time and space, and it is not yet clear whether he has travelled to the ancient past, the future or some strange world. He will have to interact with humans or other intelligent beings to find out.
After pondering this in his mind, Li Xiu grabbed the bamboo next to him and tried to stand up, but he accidentally caught sight of something.
"Hmm?"
After standing up, Li Xiu looked at his left hand with a curious and inquisitive look, more specifically at a black umbrella-shaped tattoo on the inside of his wrist.
To be precise, it could hardly be called a tattoo, as the details were extremely blurred and it looked more like someone had dipped their fingers in ink and half-heartedly smeared it on Li Xiu's wrist.
Li Xiu tried to rub it with his other hand, but there was no fading.
Hmm, the tattoo artist was very half-hearted, but the materials he used were quite careful.
He knew his own body better than anyone else, and he was sure that this tattoo was definitely not there before.
Thinking about his current situation, Li Xiu followed the "old trick" he had read on a Chinese website and assumed that this was his "golden finger".
"Is this my golden finger? The black umbrella I borrowed?"
"According to the cliché, shouldn't it be a chaotic treasure? But why isn't it something like a small clock or a mirror? Umbrellas don't seem to be very powerful treasures."
"Could it be that there is a secret that says that when Pangu opened the sky, he held an umbrella in one hand and an axe in the other to split the chaos?"
"Although it sounds cool, why does it feel so strange?"
Li Xiu had strange thoughts in his head.
After that, Li Xiu spent several minutes testing and investigating, but the umbrella-shaped tattoo did not show any strange behaviour, so he had to temporarily put this matter aside.
After randomly choosing a direction, Li Xiu tried to walk out of the bamboo forest.
In the lush green bamboo forest, Li Xiu walked slowly, always on guard and looking around.
It may have seemed a little paranoid, but Li Xiu felt that it was not wrong to be cautious in an unfamiliar place.
Forget the fact that, according to common sense, there was a high probability that poisonous plants or wild beasts might suddenly appear in the forest.
After experiencing the event of crossing over, Li Xiu felt that it would not be surprising if an old man on a white horse with a monkey suddenly appeared in the forest.
In the mountains, Li Xiu had no idea how long it had been or how far he had walked. He just felt that his legs were a little sore and tired, so he looked for a piece of green stone to sit on and rest. But when he looked up, he saw a faint figure in the distance.
Li Xiu was both excited and nervous. Instead of going up to ask for help, he quickly crouched down and hid behind the green stone and bamboo, carefully watching the figure through the gaps in the bamboo.
The tall man was standing about a hundred paces away from Li Xiu, facing him sideways. His face was already blurred, but it was further obscured by the straw hat pushed down on his head.
He was wearing a grey linen outfit and had a sword in his left hand. He stood still as if waiting for something, occasionally scanning his surroundings cautiously, as if either waiting for someone or on the lookout for others.
This put an end to Li Xiu's thoughts of showing himself, as he was not particularly keen on doing so to begin with.
Although he did not know whether the person in front of him was good or bad, Li Xiu felt that at this time, the chances of him being silenced were much greater than being greeted with a friendly smile and helpfulness. However, Li Xiu did not leave empty-handed and at least learned some possible information about this world.
At least Li Xiu knows some information about this world. It seems to be similar to ancient China, and there might be something called martial arts. Of course, this is based on common sense, as there are no limits to the wonders of the world.
Who knows, the man in the distance, although dressed in ancient Chinese clothing, may turn out to be a black man with big white teeth, who then draws a light sword from his waist and shouts at him: "I have decided to become the 'One Piece' pirate king."
