Chapter 1 Wear a cross
The sun wakes up in the early morning, and after a night of spring snow, the white clothes in the city of San'in are covered in plain clothes, and the tender green is dotted, and the house finches are chirping and jumping among the branches and snow, which is a beautiful scenery in late winter and early spring.
Yang Xiu pushed open the wooden door and walked out of the house, dragged his weak steps to the well, and laboriously shook up a bucket of well water with his wheel. With just a few simple movements, Yang Xiu was already tired and out of breath.
Looking down, the water surface of the barrel reflected the reflection of an immature teenager: wearing a shabby coarse cloth jacket, a green scarf on his head, his eyes are not big, and two thick eyebrows are obliquely inserted into his temples, very energetic. However, the young man's face was sickly pale, and he looked weak.
Yang Xiu shook his head helplessly, took a deep breath of cold air, and tried to calm his restless mood.
Although he was still so handsome when he was more than ten years younger, Yang Xiu still found it difficult to accept the strange fact that he had traveled from the earth to the strange world in front of him and returned to the age of seventeen.
As the administrator of ancient books at X City Liye University, Yang Xiu was still sorting out rare books in the library two days ago, and then discussed life and drank a few drinks with a senior sister who often came to borrow books in the evening.
Originally, Yang Xiu was still snickering at this unexpected date, but one second it was still soft and fragrant, and the next moment he was cold and difficult to breathe.
I was fished out of the ice hole!
The word happiness and sorrow is used to describe Yang Xiu's experience, which could not be more appropriate.
When Yang Xiu regained consciousness and saw the shabby furnishings in the house and the shabby clothes on his body, he realized that the world in front of him had turned into an old hen and a duck, and he could never go back. And along with the hesitation and sentimentality, there are a lot of strange memories in my mind.
Now the place where I am located is called Sanyin City, which is an ordinary city under the rule of Ningguo Tongzhou, surrounded by mountains on three sides and has beautiful scenery. And this guy who was unfortunately possessed by Yang Xiu is an orphan who has no father and mother since he was a child, and has the same name and surname as Yang Xiu.
This place does not belong to any dynasty in Yang Xiu's memory. In addition to Ningguo, there are countless countries that are much larger than Ningguo on the vast land, and it is difficult for ordinary people to see the scene outside Ningguo in their lives.
And what shocked Yang Xiu the most was that there were immortal cultivators in this world!
In this world, the spoken and written language used by mortals to communicate is a completely new language, and weights and measures are basically the same as in Yang Xiu's original world. And thanks to the memory of this world, Yang Xiu had no difficulty communicating with others. But in addition to this, there is also a special script that really exists in this world, which is called the Upper Realm Immortal Script!
In ancient times, wild beasts were rampant, demons were rampant, and the weak human race was in turmoil, and there was almost no place on this continent.
Later, by chance, several clan ancestors found several ancient books in a Jedi. The pages of the ancient books have been immortal for 10,000 years, recording the difficult and complex ancient language, and its present life is full of visions, and the glow of the sky is full of divine sounds, and there is a hidden trend of true immortals coming into the world.
Those ancestors with great wisdom went through a lot of hardships and paid a lot of money, and finally understood the true meaning of the immortal book, mastered the immortal text, and learned the immortal law.
It turns out that this kind of upper realm writing is difficult and obscure, and it contains the truth of heaven and earth. By studying them, ordinary people have the opportunity to feel the aura of heaven and earth, increase their lifespan, and then practice the immortal method, fly to the heavens and the earth, and live with the sky.
In the following hundreds of years, the human race was able to kill the demons and cleanse the wilderness, which opened up a place for the human race to live and reproduce.
For thousands of years, new ancient books of immortal texts have been discovered in various places, and on the basis of these ancient books, various methods of cultivating immortals have become more and more mature. The human race has gradually become one of the masters of the continent, and the immortal cultivation sects in the world have also emerged in an endless stream.
Tongzhou, where Yang Xiu is now, is located in the southern corner of the mainland, and the overall strength of cultivating immortals on the mainland can only be said to be average.
The largest immortal cultivation sect near Shanyin City is Tianshu Pavilion, and the head of the sect calls himself the old man Zhuji. Tianshu Pavilion used to be a well-known sect of cultivating immortals, but there was no successor for hundreds of years, and its momentum was gradually declining, and it was said that its status in Tongzhou was not as good as a year.
But no matter where you are, whether your talent for cultivating immortals is high or low, anyone who wants to study immortal texts must overcome an unavoidable problem!
The Upper Realm Immortal Text is infinitely wonderful, and ordinary people feel some impressions when they read it, but they forget it all when they turn their heads, and so repeatedly, even if it is tens of millions of times, it is still difficult to stand an inch, and their minds are still blank. Only a few mortals with excellent qualifications can slowly deepen their memories through hard work, from word to sentence, until they memorize an article and an immortal cultivation method.
After that, the cultivator should constantly visualize and figure out the exercises in his heart, and he can also learn under the guidance of his predecessors, break through the invisible obstacles between heaven and earth, and finally get a glimpse of the path of cultivating immortals, and the long road of cultivating immortals begins here.
This process often lasts for decades, or even a lifetime, and many people with mediocre qualifications do not reach the stage of using aura to infuse their bodies to change their physique until their longevity is exhausted.
This is the ubiquitous obstacle in the process of cultivating immortals, and everyone can't avoid it or escape it.
Once the cultivation of immortals is successful, mortals can step into another completely different world, and at the same time master the infinitely powerful immortal method while greatly increasing their lifespan, one word is enough to kill people invisibly, and one word can be able to defeat thousands of troops!
"Medicine" is meat and bones!
"Killing" also kills people!
"Sealing" can crush the enemy!
"Fire" can burn thousands of miles!
It can be said that the Upper Realm Immortal Script is the foundation of the human race, the supreme weapon for fighting with the heavens and the earth, and the biggest reliance on the human race and other powerful creatures.
Yang Xiu's "soul possession" is also a person with perseverance, and he has been trying to recite an immortal text of more than 1,000 words in the past few years, but unfortunately his talent is limited, and he only remembers two words until now, which shows the difficulty of breaking through the cognitive barrier.
But it was these two words that made Yang Xiu's heart shocked!
And most importantly, they are the Chinese characters on the original earth, horizontal and vertical, point, apostrophe, fold, pinch, absolutely right!
The fact that the ancient Chinese in his memory had become an ancient immortal script in this world made Yang Xiu shocked and shocked, and he couldn't help but be a little happy.
Is this a chance God has given me?
Yang Xiu kept thinking in his heart, and the more he thought about it, the more excited he became. Cultivating immortals, this is just an ethereal fantasy on earth, and now that there is such an opportunity around me, it is exciting to think about it.
But now Yang Xiu is still facing a problem, just relying on these two words, he can't be completely sure that the ancient immortal text is ancient Chinese, and there is no way to cultivate it by relying on two words?
Fortunately, soon, Yang Xiu found an excellent opportunity from the memory of the original "Yang Xiu".
Smell the wall!
The so-called Wendao Wall is a stone wall erected in the center of San'in City, and there are similar things in every city in the entire Tongzhou boundary.
This stone wall was built by the Heavenly Book Pavilion, and on the wall there were a total of 1,234 Upper Realm Immortal Texts written by immortal cultivators with mana, which was rumored to be the most basic cultivation technique.
Everyone who comes to Tongzhou can go to the Wendao wall to watch the immortal text, and take the opportunity to test their immortal cultivation qualifications, and the thousand-character immortal text that "Yang Xiu" chose to remember came from the Wendao wall.
In this world, the wind of cultivating immortals is prevalent, and everyone is proud of mastering the immortal script. Different from the immortal cultivation method, it is relatively simple to memorize ordinary articles and Chinese characters to overcome the cognitive obstacles, so immortal cultivators will first familiarize themselves with some ordinary immortal classics, and then overcome the most difficult immortal cultivation exercises.
But Yang Xiu in this world is pedantic and clear, with no one in his eyes, and he is almost paranoid and has to start learning from a thousand-character text, but he only remembers two words for several years, which makes Yang Xiu, who inherited this memory, cry and laugh.
Every two years, at the beginning of spring, Tianshu Pavilion will hold an unlimited number of Xianwen exams, and those who are confident that they can memorize and write Xianwen can go to participate. The better the results of the entrance examination, the more chances there are to be selected as the introductory disciples of the Heavenly Book Pavilion and officially start cultivating immortals.
Among them, a group of scholars with the best grades will be directly selected as inner disciples, not only with better cultivation conditions, but also with the careful guidance of the predecessors of immortal cultivation, they can be called the pride of heaven!
Since the vast majority of immortal cultivation resources are occupied by various sects, such as the immortal mansion with strong aura, various materials for refining pills, magic weapons, and magic weapons, advanced exercises, etc., it is almost impossible for immortal cultivators to break through the bottleneck and improve their cultivation by relying solely on their own efforts.
Therefore, everyone wants to join a powerful sect.
Because of this, in this world, in addition to the scholars who participated in the national scientific examination, there is also a group of scholars like Yang Xiu who are obsessed with cultivating to become immortals, and both of them are also dedicated to studying hard, eager to soar into the sky one day.
On the one hand, it symbolizes that the literati who have nothing will ascend to the sky from now on, and the sparrow will become a phoenix, on the other hand, it means that there will be a chance to get rid of the suffering of the world, fly to the sky, and live with the sky.
Thinking of this, Yang Xiu's mind immediately became active, if I am not mistaken, tomorrow will be the day of the Xianwen examination. Since God has given me a chance to be born again, there is no reason to live such a hard life!
Picking up the bucket, Yang Xiu walked into the house step by step, washed up briefly, and prepared to take a look at this magical Wendao wall.
"Brother Yang is up!"
Just as Yang Xiu got up and was about to go out, there was an urn shouting in the courtyard, Yang Xiu smiled when he heard it, knowing that it must be Huzi coming.
Huzi is the only son of Aunt Liu next door, and grew up with Yang Xiu since he was a child. It's just that I've had a disability since I was a child, and in modern terms, I'm a little mentally retarded, but I have a simple heart, simple and kind, and I've been very good with Yang Xiu since I was a child.
A few days ago, he picked up a life from the ice cave, and it was Huzi who found it in time. In the past few days, Yang Xiu has a cold and high fever that does not go away, and his neighbors Aunt Liu and Huzi have taken care of him, otherwise Yang Xiu, who has just crossed over, may have to return to the underworld again.
Sure enough, before Yang Xiu got up, a figure had already rushed in.
This person was more than half a head taller than Yang Xiu, wearing a shabby cotton coat full of patches, a cloth hat crooked on his shiny bald head, long thick eyebrows and big eyes, but the eyebrows were slightly sluggish.
Seeing Yang Xiu in the house, Huzi laughed twice, and quickly stuffed the two eggs in his hand into Yang Xiu's hand.
"Brother Yang, this is cooked for you by my mother, and my mother said that you have to prepare for the entrance examination and eat enough. ”
After taking the two eggs that were still hot, Yang Xiu didn't have time to speak, and Huzi had already turned around and ran out. Seeing this, Yang Xiu could only shake his head and be speechless, but his heart was warm by these two eggs.
In winter, the fields cannot be cultivated, and the lives of the common people are not easy, but Aunt Liu still sends Yang Xiu some food every once in a while, and boiled eggs are already considered a delicacy.
And the reason why Aunt Liu and Hu Zi are so good to Yang Xiu is nothing more than because Yang Xiu inadvertently saved Huzi once when he was a child, and since then, Aunt Liu has always regarded Yang Xiu as her own son.
This simple feeling has taken root in Yang Xiu's heart with the memory of this world, and he was also an orphan before the crossing, Yang Xiu strengthened his determination to participate in the Xianwen Entrance Examination, and vowed to be named in the heavenly list, so that Aunt Liu and Huzi can live a good life in the future!
Quickly packed up, Yang Xiu walked out of the house, and hurried to the main street of Shanyin City.
Along the way, there are blue brick houses, adobe walls, paving on both sides of the road one after another, and the sound of selling one after another is in the ears, a scene of a prosperous ancient city.
Yang Xiu didn't have much of the heart to appreciate these foreign beauties at this time, because right now, Yang Xiu was stepping on his single shoes, and his frozen lips were blue and trembling. After passing through the crowd on the street, a quarter of an hour later, Yang Xiu, who was out of breath, finally arrived at his destination.
At the end of the town's largest street, there is a purpose-built vacant lot. The clearing was covered with blue stone bricks, and the snow on them had long since been cleared.
A stone wall nearly one zhang high and more than three zhang long stands in the center of the clearing, and the surface is golden and dazzling, which catches people's eyes.
