Chapter 1: Laoshan Abandoned Children
"Oh, we bumped into each other again."
"This is the ninth chapter. Rotten wood cannot be carved!"
"This boy is dull and not of the right kind..."
…
Chen Fan had a splitting headache. He reluctantly opened his eyes and found that he had fallen to the ground.
There is a brick wall in front, and blood is stained halfway up the wall.
It's his blood.
If you hit it head-on, can you avoid bleeding profusely?
This is really tough.
There were several elderly Taoists in Qingyi standing around, pointing at him.
"What is this place?"
"who are they?"
Chen Fan's head hurt even more, he simply rolled his eyes and fainted.
…
I don't know how long it took, but I woke up again and felt that my body was shaking, as if I was on a small boat, swaying.
Open your eyes and look, aren't you lying in the cabin?
Struggling to sit up, Chen Fan put his head in his hands, stroking through the many pieces of information added to his mind:
He traveled through time and came to a different world called "Dayin Dynasty".
The place where I first woke up is called "Laoshan". There is a Taoist temple in Laoshan, which is called the land of gods.
The predecessor's father admired immortals very much, so he spent a lot of money to let his young son worship at the gate of Laoshan Mountain and become a registered Taoist boy. As long as he succeeded in learning, he could become a regular disciple and embark on the path of Taoism.
I don’t know whether it’s due to lack of talent or lack of luck. My predecessor had been in the industry for ten years and had no performance at all. He couldn’t even learn the rudimentary “Wall Penetrating Technique”. Every time he took an exam, he bumped into the wall with his head firmly, drawing blood from the collision.
dripping, very heroic.
This time the collision was even harder, and all his souls were scattered. Chen Fan happened to travel through time and replace him.
Based on some of the remaining memories, I learned about the failure of my predecessor's practice.
Chen Fan's previous life was also quite a failure.
In the world of modern civilization and advanced civilization, people who are not established in their 30s and confused in their 40s have been working hard for many years, struggling in vain to survive on the line of food and clothing. Their parents passed away early, and they are living alone, even more miserable...
He has resigned himself to his fate.
Unexpectedly, at a class reunion, he drank to relieve his worries and got extremely drunk. When he woke up, he was transported to another world and became this unlucky Taoist boy.
This guy also has the same surname as "Chen", but his name is very weird. He is actually called "Youniao".
Chen Youniao?
What the hell?
What about shame?
Not blushing?
But it was his father who sought Taoism and loved to read the ancient book "Xiaoyao Xu Jing", which recorded a mythical story and a poem: "There are birds, and there are birds with their voices. They have been home for thousands of years and have not returned yet; the city remains the same and the people are not the same.
Why don’t you learn how to make countless immortal tombs?”
Then he gave his son such a strange name.
Chen Fan - now it's Chen Youniao. After figuring out the whole story, he immediately couldn't laugh or cry.
Sure enough, the father was willful and the son suffered, which is comparable to a certain "Glory of Kings" joke.
But the name is not a big deal. The key lies in his current situation, which is very embarrassing.
It is not easy to cultivate Taoism and become an immortal.
There are hundreds of registered Taoist boys like Chen Youniao in Laoshan Taoist Temple, and the number increases every year.
There is an increase and there is a decrease.
Those who have reached the age and have no talent or potential will be cleared out and sent home.
Chen Youniao failed the assessment this time and was still in a coma, so he was put on the ship and sent away.
The Immortals are ruthless and don't use false politeness.
Fortunately, Chen Youniao has a servant who came here to take care of him. Ten years later, he has become an old servant and is called "Uncle Wang".
When he was in Laoshan, Uncle Wang was not qualified to enter the Taoist temple, but lived in the towns at the foot of the mountain. Every once in a while, he would give money to Chen Youniao on the mountain.
Of course this money was sent from home.
In the mountains, Chen Youniao lived a very miserable life every day. He did chores every day, chopping wood and carrying water. He was said to be a Taoist boy, but in fact he was just like a handyman.
The Taoist said: Taking care of chores can exercise your body and hone your mind.
After ten years of grinding, nothing will come of it.
Now that Chen Youniao has been sent back down the mountain, he has no hope of cultivating immortality, so he can only go back to his clan and become a rich kid who eats, drinks and has fun every day.
The Chen family is located in Haidai County. It is a large family, with thousands of fields, and the descendants of the clan are rich in clothes, food, sounds, dogs and horses.
…
After slowly figuring this out, Chen Youniao sighed, and all kinds of feelings came to his heart.
It's certainly a good thing to be able to live again.
It’s just that this world is not a familiar historical time and space. If there are gods and monks, there will also be demons and ghosts?
That's not trivial, it's very dangerous.
He got up and walked out of the cabin. He saw that he was riding a small awning boat on a sparkling river.
Standing on the edge of the boat, I stretched my head to look around, looking at the face by the water:
He has clear eyebrows and handsome face.
This skin bag is not bad, but the redness and swelling on the forehead have not gone away, and it still hurts uncomfortably.
Chen Youniao touched his chin, sighed, and frowned: He failed to learn Taoism, was driven down the mountain, and went home in despair. How could he be in a good mood? After returning home, he still didn't know how to face the attitude of the clan members.
When Uncle Wang over there saw this, he hurried over and said, "Master, your head has been injured and it hasn't recovered yet. You can't come out to have a blast."
Chen Youniao looked up and asked, "Uncle Wang, where are you?"
Uncle Wang was in his fifties, strong, gray-haired, and loyal. He replied: "Master, this is Yihe. You have been in a coma for three days and three nights."
"ah!"
Chen Youniao screamed in surprise.
He was sent to Mount Laoshan when he was eight years old. During this period, he never went down the mountain. His memory was blurred and he couldn't even figure out the geographical location of the Yi River.
Wang Bodao: "After passing the Yi River, we will walk on a waterway. If the wind and water go smoothly, we will be able to return to Haidai County in eight or nine days."
Calculated, it is equivalent to a journey of more than ten days. If we take the land route, it may be even further.
Chen Youniao asked: "Does your family know about our return?"
Uncle Wang replied: "I probably don't know... Well, speaking of it, I haven't sent any letters for a while."
Since Chen Youniao went up the mountain, father and son have not seen each other again, and there have been few letters. Chen Youniao's father plausibly said that this would strengthen his son's Taoist heart and free him from the fetters of ordinary family ties.
That makes sense.
However, principles are principles and reality is reality. It is useless to have the heart to follow the Tao but not have the foundation to learn the Tao.
In my memory, the father's face became a little blurry.
Chen Youniao tried hard to think, but his head began to hurt again, his face turned pale, and his body was shaky. When Uncle Wang saw it, he quickly helped him back to the cabin to lie down, and said: "Master, you must be hungry after you have been sleeping for many days. I
Go and cook some porridge for you to eat."
"good."
Chen Youniao did feel hungry. He had not eaten for three days and it was really hard to bear. He felt dizzy and had blurry eyes, which might be due to hunger.
He closed his eyes, feeling dizzy and suddenly something strange happened in his mind.
In the Niwan Palace, a book suddenly appeared. It seemed to have been hidden there all along, but it was only now revealed.
"Wen Xin Diao Long".
