Chapter 1 The Mysterious Handkerchief

After carefully pondering the handwriting on the golden handkerchief in his hand, Long Yitian sank cross-legged into breathing.

Long Yitian, 15 years old this year, is in his second year of high school, and he will be in his third year of high school in a few months. According to common sense, at most, he is only able to go to high school at this age. However, Long Yitian has been talented since childhood and has the ability to remember everything he has learned. No matter what he learns, he can often learn from one example and learn from other things. In addition, he has been learning since childhood, so his learning progress has greatly surpassed his peers. He has skipped three times, so he can go to high school so quickly.

I don’t know if it’s really a jealous talent. Long Yitian never knew who his parents were. Even the name was changed by himself at the Public Security Bureau. It would be better if he didn’t mention the name before. If it weren’t for the orphanage, he might not have lived now. Since he went to high school, Long Yitian had already become independent. This is indeed a bit early compared to his age, but poor children are already in charge of their family early, so there is nothing he can do about him. Long Yitian’s current life is basically maintained by tutoring and working part-time. As for tuition and miscellaneous fees, the school also takes care of his situation, so it’s waived if he can.

It is the May Day holiday, which is usually when his tutors are busy. However, this time, because the children he brought out to travel with his parents, he also took time out. Originally, Long Yitian wanted to find something else to do, but because of his recent discovery, he came out to verify it at this time.

No matter how pressured by life, Long Yitian was just a child after all, and he was a little innocent. Since he fell in love with martial arts, Long Yitian has been fascinated by the kind of knight-wielding swords and righteous knights, so he gradually pursued his dreams in his own way. He had no money to learn taekwondo, so he often bought some old boxing books at the old book stall and practiced it himself. If he had no money to buy imitation swords, he repaired the handle of the umbrella picked up from the garbage dump to learn sword techniques. As for internal skills, it was just a legendary thing. Although he also collected a lot of books on these aspects, none of them could practice the sense of qi. Over time, Long Yitian became a false list.

But all this changed by a coincidence!

Usually, Long Yitian often goes to buy some old books, not only in the book market, but also online. Occasionally, he saw someone selling a whole set of "Daozang" on the "Confucius Old Book Network", with a price of only 500 yuan. Although this was a large amount of money for him, he was still cruel to the books he had long wanted, bought them, and then ate pickles and steamed buns for several months.

A few days later, he received a large box with two engraved seal characters "Daozang". Seeing such a large box of books, Long Yitian felt the true value of the five hundred ocean flowers! "Daozang" is also known as "All Taoist Books", and since ancient times, all books that have been linked to Taoism have been included. Although this set of "Daozang" was some of the insects and decayed due to preservation, it did not affect Long Yitian's enthusiasm at all.

The study of "Daozang" made him vaguely have an idea. He felt that the reason why those internal skills and mental methods were unable to be practiced was that they lacked a very important factor, that is, "beginner". It seems that the qi sensation needs the help of others, and it is possible to practice by oneself by chance. This is what the so-called "master leads the door" should be said.

That day, Long Yitian was concentrating on reading, and accidentally touched the box lid with the word "Daozang" next to it to the ground. The box lid was already broken and could break at any time. After this fall, it turned into two halves. What surprised Long Yitian, who was turning back, was that something golden was exposed in the middle of the box lid that fell in two halves. The curious Long Yitian broke open the box lid and took out a square golden handkerchief with an eight-inch length on the side.

I don't know what material this handkerchief is woven. It is cool and feels like metal, but it has the soft and smoothness of silk. The handkerchief is embroidered with cloud patterns around it, and the style is very simple, but what attracts Long Yitian's attention is that there are words on the handkerchief! Long Yitian, who often comes into contact with ancient books, still has some research on those ancient characters. The words on this golden handkerchief are exactly the "Yun Seal" that Long Yitian is learning recently. Yun Seal is a special character used by Taoism, which is very different from the words we usually use. If it weren't for the frequent viewing of this kind of character in "Daozang" recently, I'm afraid Long Yitian wouldn't have recognized it.

Long Yitian was so excited when he saw this golden handkerchief, so he quickly took it to wait and study it carefully. This passage was only 668 characters, but the words were difficult and profound. It was difficult for Long Yitian to read ancient texts like drinking water for a while. After thinking for three days, he realized that it was an internal mental method. Long Yitian did not doubt the authenticity of this mental method at all. He immediately sat cross-legged and started practicing.

On that day, Long Yitian felt a trace of true energy, which made him ecstatic. There was no need to say more about practicing every day. However, after practicing for a long time, Long Yitian discovered something strange. He felt that this mental method seemed to be unstable. Sometimes he could obviously feel progress, but sometimes he had no effect. After thinking about it, Long Yitian vaguely concluded in his mind: "Is it because of the environment? Why is it because of the problem of the environment? Why is it worse when I am in the house, but usually the effect is better when I am in the park or in the suburbs?"

With this idea, Long Yitian muttered to find an opportunity to verify it. Of course, he went to a tourist area with good scenery. As for the destination, he had already chosen Wangwu Mountain. There is a reason to choose Wangwu Mountain: First, it is the first cave heaven among the top ten Taoist cave heavens; second, Wangwu Mountain is not very famous now, and there will be fewer people there; third, this is also the most important thing. Long Yitian’s current place is closest to there, with the lowest cost.

So, he took advantage of his leisure time during this May Day holiday to Wangwu Mountain.

However, the legendary name of "Xiaoyouqingxutian" is quite intimidating. The scenery is far from what Long Yitian thought. However, he was not here to enjoy the scenery, just complaining. The day before yesterday, Long Yitian walked around the balcony palace of Wangwu Mountain, and in the evening he found a place on the mountain to practice the unknown mental method. I wonder if this cave heaven is really suitable for practicing internal skills. Long Yitian felt that practicing true qi here was much smoother. Because I heard that there was a Pangu Temple here, he came to Pangu Temple yesterday, and it was just a trip.
