Chapter 1: A prophecy that is neither scientific nor metaphysical
Coldest days of winter, north of Taoxi Village.

The fierce wind mixed with snow poured into the room through the cracks in the mud wall. On the mud kang that had never been heated was a pile of cotton wool with exposed bedding, which trembled from time to time in the extreme cold. A faint sound could be heard from inside:

"No, I still can't accept it——"

"It was supposed to be a Chinese style martial arts stand-alone masterpiece. Isn't this game called "Four Elephants"? Why do I feel like I bought Sword Art Online?"

"And why is it Long Zhi Jin Fu? Just because I have the same name as him? He is really good at beating women, but I can't. I read the Spring and Autumn Annals..."

As he was speaking, a head popped out from under the quilt.

His dark eyes were fixed on the stubble of grass hanging from the roof, and his tender face, about seven or eight years old, was filled with hunger and calculation.

After a few days, many things became clear.

The bad news is that Wei Mingqi traveled through time and space into a martial arts game called "Four Symbols" and became the villain of the game with the same name and surname.

The good news is that he knows the main storyline of the game, and he is also familiar with the background settings of the main characters.

For example, the popular villain in the game "Four Symbols", Wei Mingqi, the leader of the Chaotian Palace camp, who has the same name as him.

This character has the same tragic childhood, extraordinary talent, and incredible luck as all villains.

In the end, he embarked on a life path that was completely opposite to that of the protagonist.

But these are not the reasons why he once became popular.

【Ancient style modeling ceiling】

【Martial Arts White Moonlight】

【Not interested in women, only focusing on career】

[Luo Shen? I punched her so hard that she couldn’t even dig it out.]

[A pair of fleshy hands sweep across the world]

[Four Spirits and Magical Objects? I don’t even want a dog. I just want to conquer the world and bring peace. You insist on saying that I’m a villain.]

There are too many memes about this character.

Coupled with the top-notch modeling that the artists worked hard on, it created a generation of gold medal sales champion. There is a saying on the forum that - the sales of "Four Symbols" is one stone, and the Palace Master alone accounts for eight buckets.

With this kind of template in mind, Wei Mingqi's future cannot be described as promising.

The future belongs to him!

Villain? Whoever wants to be a villain can be a villain. If you have the looks and the ability, why do you want to be a rat crossing the street that everyone wants to beat?

He can be a good person, and he can also be irreconcilable with evil!
If you can't beat them, join them. The wisdom of the Blue Star sages always illuminates him.

The opportunity for change is at hand.

According to the background of the plot, the warlord father of the young palace master will find him soon. Not only will he be able to transform himself into His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but he will also be able to take advantage of the opportunity to obtain the Seven Dragon Constellations, one of the four spiritual treasures, and completely establish the foundation for becoming one of the protagonists of this plane!
As for the killing of his brother and father in the original plot... What does the little palace master's matter have to do with him, Wei Mingqi? He has already decided to recognize his ancestors and take care of his father and brother until the end of his life!

There's no way, he wants to improve so much!

"Goo-"

The noise coming from his stomach interrupted Wei Mingqi's bright vision for the future.

It has been extremely cold in the past few days, with the aurora borealis visible at night. He has not eaten or drunk anything since getting up, and is feeling a little exhausted, so he plans to go to his next-door neighbor's house to ask for firewood, oil and rice.

“Crack—crack—”

Before he could go out, he heard the sound of footsteps on the snow coming closer and closer outside the courtyard wall. Wei Mingqi thought it was the uncle next door who came back from work, so he quickened his pace and went forward to open the gate.

"Uncle Deng..."

The childish voice stopped abruptly.

The person in front of him was not Uncle Deng at all, but a cold-faced woman who was quite inconsistent with the style of the village. She was dressed in a green robe like a Taoist priest, without a yellow crown on her head, and her black hair was simply tied up with a wooden hairpin. She had no makeup on her cold face, but she was loved by heaven and earth. She was obviously delicate and lively, but she had no expression on her face, as if she was even colder than the snowflakes floating in the clouds.

"Sister... are you looking for someone?" Wei Mingqi's voice was cautious.

He felt that the woman looked familiar, but perhaps because she had changed her clothes, he couldn't figure out her identity.

The nun walked to the door and stopped, looking down at him with an oil-paper umbrella. After a moment, her long and thin eyes showed indifference.

"I'm not looking for anyone."

There was no life in her voice, as if it had merged into one with the world.

"……Oh."

Wei Mingqi shrank his head, responded and reached out to close the door - click.

A pair of exquisite and beautiful blue embroidered shoes blocked the crack in the door, preventing him from closing it tightly.

"I kill people."

Following the cold words, Wei Mingqi shivered suddenly, as if a snowflake floated into his neck.

Is this in the original plot?

Wei Mingqi stared blankly at the shining sword on his shoulder. The bone-chilling temperature penetrated his clothes and reached his skin, giving him goose bumps all over his body.

"In the Mocking Heaven Palace there is the Mocking Heaven Temple, in the Mocking Heaven Temple there is the Mocking Heaven Immortal, the Mocking Heaven Immortal has pacified the world and given the Universe a new look—"

A faint poem setting the scene came from above my head.

The sound was not loud, but it made Wei Mingqi's heart skip a beat instinctively.

Something's wrong——

This is the poem in the cg where the young palace master appears in "Four Symbols". No one in the entire "Four Symbols" world should know it except him!

Could this woman also be a trapped player?

With such doubts, Wei Mingqi looked up and asked carefully: "The big hammer is eighty, how much is the small hammer?"

"..."

The Taoist nun holding an umbrella looked at him expressionlessly, and suddenly hit him on the forehead with the hand holding the sword, quite hard, with a 'bang' sound.

"The hammer doesn't cost any money."

"……What are you doing!"

Wei Mingqi was in so much pain that tears came out. He covered his forehead and felt aggrieved: "You can't hit someone even if they are not from the same village. Aren't you just bullying a child?"

"Don't act crazy or stupid and say evil things." The Taoist nun holding an umbrella said in a sinister tone.

Wei Mingqi was at a loss for a moment, and was annoyed with her, so he stiffened his neck and asked loudly: "Then why did you come to my house and beat me up! Don't you think that an orphan child is easy to bully?!"

Don't ask him why he is so upset, he feels sorry for the young palace master!

"if not."

The nun's face was devoid of any sense of moral kidnapping: "If I don't bully you when you are young, will I wait until you grow up?"

"..."

Wei Mingqi opened his mouth, and suddenly felt a little weak.

Seeing that he was defeated, the nun holding the umbrella reached out and took out a piece of paper from her bosom, reminding him: "Don't interrupt me again, or I will hit you again."

"..."

"Wei Mingqi is a character in the Hongmeng holographic martial arts game "Four Symbols". He is the leader of the most powerful force in the martial arts world, Chaotian Palace. He calls himself Chaotianxian. He is in the tenth realm of martial arts and possesses the six elements of the seven dragon constellations: Jiao, Kang, Di, Fang, Xin, and Wei. He is cold-faced, cold-mouthed, and cold-hearted. He will do anything to achieve his goals. In the late stage of the game, he caused unrest in the world, and used the troops of the three places to compete with the minions of the martial arts world. In the end, he was defeated by the heavenly official Li He on the bank of Taoxi River..."

The voice of the Taoist nun holding an umbrella was neither slow nor slow.

But every word was like a heavy hammer hitting Wei Mingqi's heart.

hehe--

Oh my god, guess what he heard? He heard his own Baidu Encyclopedia in the game!
Encyclopedia! Science! Baidu!
Character background, character relationships, character plot. This woman knows Wei Mingqi better than he does!
I don’t know how much time has passed.

"..."

The nun holding the umbrella relieved her dry mouth and finally put away the paper, her expression becoming even colder.

"Wei Mingqi, this is what our master predicted before his death. You will kill your brother and father and commit many evil deeds in the future. You will not hesitate to wash the rivers and lakes with blood to collect rare items. Now everyone in the world knows what you have done. There is no place for you in this world anymore."

In front of her, Wei Mingqi pulled the corners of his mouth with difficulty.

May I ask your master’s name?

He has seen a lot of astrology and tarot, but this is the first time he has seen one that directly copies the official settings of a game.

Is this metaphysics?
