The first chapter is too hard
In a Taoist temple on Fengqi Mountain in the northwest of Pushui City on Huannan Island, a middle-aged man who looks like he is in his fifties, dressed in a yin and yang robe, wearing a lotus Taoist crown, and a mole on his eyebrows.
It's just that his face is bloodless, there is a slight trace of blood at the corner of his mouth, his body is slightly emaciated, and his hands and feet are spread out, looking like a dying person.
The bells in the Taoist temple rang, far away and quiet, one after another.
"Senior Brother Guan, it's time for breakfast. I saw a little Taoist priest dressed in a plain white cloud Taoist robe, with thick eyebrows and a bitter face, standing outside the room.
Li Debang straightened the crown, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, pushed open the door and walked out: "Senior Brother Houde, Senior Brother, I'm here." ”
Houde's face was slightly hesitant, and he opened his mouth and said: "Senior brother, in today's situation, the Taoism of the Star World is declining, and you were seriously injured in the plane war, although you have made meritorious deeds, you entered the underworld today and entered the underworld to enter the underworld and become the god of the underworld.
However, the Immortal Realm Doufang Dao Patriarch and all the patriarchs are also destroyed today, and the ancestor master passed down the decree before the destruction to let us be careful of the Zichen Dao line, there is no Zichen Dao in the Star World, but we do not have the deterrence of the Immortal Realm Patriarchs.
Our Doufang Dao is already scarce, and it is estimated that it will not be long before everyone will be overwhelmed, and at that time, we will only have to enter the underworld to practice or reincarnate. ”
"Senior Brother Houde, don't panic, didn't the Cheng family of Dongbao Villa invite me to do a ritual last year.
Cheng Shizhu said that the young people of the Cheng family who have reached the age of eighteen this year will enter the Taoist temple, and they will come over today.
Besides, my Li family is still a hereditary nobleman of Xianqi, as long as my clan does not die, Dou Fang Dao will not die, one day Dou Fang Dao will return to the fairy world, junior brother must not lose confidence, senior brother first go back to the room and wait for someone to come to the house, farewell. ”
"Senior brother walks slowly, junior brother will work hard, and senior brother will take the lead to send senior brother ......"
Li Debang smiled, waved his hand and walked towards the dining hall.
After breakfast, Li Debang returned to the room, shook his head helplessly, sighed, and then sat cross-legged on the bed, his eyes slightly closed, his hands were sealed, and he exhaled and inhaled, exhaling and breathing in the aura of heaven and earth.
At this moment, Li Debang's body was filled with yin qi, and his physical body was gradually dried up, like dry firewood, but his yin spirit was becoming more and more condensed.
One of the immortal universe in the human world, the star world
In the 3,864th year of the Xianqi calendar, Jiang Yongan, the son of Xianqi, ascended the throne and changed the Yuan in the imperial capital of Yujing, which was the first year of Yongtai.
Xianqi has been peaceful for a long time, and the country has been peaceful for a long time. Lanxi County belongs to Qizhou, Huainan Province, formerly known as Qishui County, Shangde 25 years, because of the abundant orchid grass on both sides of the river, changed to Lanxi County.
Tick-tock, and suddenly a drizzle began to fall in the sky.
In Lanxi County, Li Jian looked at the light rain in the sky, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that he was born at the wrong time.
He thought to himself that although he was an immortal Qi nobleman, his title was Tang, which was equivalent to a ninth-class county man from a five-rank official, and he had 300 households.
With 500 acres of Yongye Field, plus 400 acres of elixir land passed down by his ancestors, a total of 900 acres of elixir fertile land, he is congenitally red and lucky, but his future is still worrying.
Today, Confucianism is a prominent learning, and only soldiers and legalists can compete with the rest of the hundred schools, and they are only the children of Taoism at the end of the hundred schools.
Even the nobles are still suppressed by the three schools of Confucianism and the Art of War, and the Taoist nobles are broken nobles in Xianqi, and they can't go up or down, and they can't participate in the civil and martial arts exams as nobles.
As a Taoist disciple, Li Jian's thesis literacy is not as good as a Confucian disciple in governing the place, assimilating the heavens in another world, and not as good as a disciple of a soldier in terms of arranging troops and fighting on the battlefield in another world.
On revising the law to resolve disputes between officials and the common people, it is not as good as a disciple of the Legalist, and on planting elixir, taking care of the farmland, looking for natural materials and treasures, it is not as good as a disciple of the peasant family.
The only thing that can subdue a hundred schools is to live for a long time and a panacea (a little bit of everything).
As a result, it has been six years since Li Jian became the 15th champion, and he has still been unable to enter the officialdom to realize his ideals.
Everyone wants to ask Li Jian's ideals, his ideal is to ascend to the immortal realm to achieve true immortals or make contributions to humanity, and be crowned a god after death.
It's a pity that he was born at the wrong time, and the world no longer respects Taoism. The rise of a hundred schools of thought, Confucianism governed the people and etiquette, the Legalist system of law and punishment, the soldiers governed the army and the soldiers, and Taoism and so on were all reduced to the bottom.
The children of the Taoist family could not enter the officialdom, except for the children of the nobles like Li Jian, the rest of the Taoist family members all went to the mountains to cultivate, or stayed away from the great world of the stars and went to other worlds to find opportunities, and even Taoist temples were rare in the earthly world.
However, how can there be a person in the middle of the court to cultivate in the mountains, and the cultivation of human luck comes quickly, as the so-called small hidden in the wilderness, hidden in the city, and hidden in the court, escaping into the mountains to cultivate is just an inferior choice.
The realm of Taoism, from low to high, is divided into refining and refining qi in the three realms of refining the body, absorbing qi, and building the foundation, transforming the gods into the three realms of Jindan, Yuanying, and Dharma Image, and flying to the three realms of Yin God, Yang God, and Mahayana.
Li Jian has been cultivating for nearly ten years since he was twelve years old, in five years of refining his body, and he successfully built a foundation at the beginning of last year after four years of qi acceptance, and his qualifications are purely middle-to-low.
Thanks to the fact that the nobleman was born as the only son of the family, he may not necessarily build a foundation if he does not cultivate for ten years, which shows the importance of resources.
As a result, most of the non-mainstream disciples of the hundred schools chose to cultivate to the third realm and went to other unknown worlds by driving the Star Flying Boat.
If you are lucky, you will find a world where there is no owner and civilization is not visible, and you will become a true immortal. Those with poor luck will turn to dust and enter reincarnation and reincarnate.
If Li Jian can't ascend to the immortal realm in his lifetime, I'm afraid that he can only escape to the Doufang Taoist Temple on Fengqi Mountain on Huannan Island like his father and wait for death, ready to enter the underworld as a ghost and god like his ancestors.
Li Jian put his hands behind his back, looked up at the sky at forty-five degrees, and lamented: "I'm too difficult!!"
"Young master, it's time for us to go to Doufang Road to watch the master. At this time, an old servant dressed in cloth looked at Li Jianye and said.
Li Jian looked at the old servant, walked to the door, and said in a slow tone, "I know, are all the clans ready?
"Everything is ready, just wait for you, young master. The old servant replied without thinking.
After a while, Li Jian and the others left the city and headed towards Fengqi Mountain.
Suddenly, the wind and clouds suddenly changed, dark clouds covered the sky one after another, and electric snakes pierced the sky, and a downpour of rain followed.
At this time, a building ship in the sea to ride the wind and waves towards the South Island flying coming, this building ship is white and jade on both sides of the wings, the main sail has the purple gold and silver carp emblem, there are two three-masted sailing ships on both sides of the building ship.
After a while, Li Jian and his entourage arrived at the Doufang Temple located at the top of Fengqi Mountain.
Fengqi Mountain, as its name suggests, looks down from the air like a phoenix lying on Huannan Island, when Li Jianye and his party arrived at Doufang Temple, it was almost dusk.
Just when Li Jian had just stepped into this Doufang Temple, a little Taoist boy dressed in a plain white cloud Taoist robe stopped Li Jian and said loudly: "Jianye donor, the master of the temple will let Xiaodao take you to the main hall." ”
"What? Father wants to see me?"
As soon as Li Jian heard that his father was looking for him, he immediately asked Xiao Daotong to lead the way: "Take me to the main hall quickly." By the way, the rest of the people waited in the square in front of the Taoist temple. ”
"Yes!" replied Daotong.
Li Jian first turned his head to look at the people behind him, and then followed Xiao Daotong to the main hall.
In the main hall, all the ancestors who ascended to the immortal realm are enshrined, but the tablets of the ancestors are not visible, and they are obviously all destroyed.
Li Debang sat on the futon in the first row, his body was like dry firewood, and his eyes were shining.
"Come in!"
Li Debang looked at Li Jian, who was kneeling after coming in, sighed softly, looked sad, and said slowly with a sad face:
"Jian'er, you also saw it when you entered the hall, the ancestors of the immortal realm have all been destroyed, and the Upper Realm Doufang Dao has been completely wiped out by Zichen Dao.
The crisis has come, the situation of Dou Fang Dao is already in danger, my father is going to enter the underworld to practice today, do you have any plans for the future?"
"The child has already thought about it, and now the family has arranged it, and the second uncle will inherit the title in a month, and the child will leave the Star World today to enter the World Sea, and go to other worlds to find the opportunity to become an immortal. Life has to be fought again!"
"Okay, good, ambitious, although your qualifications are average, it doesn't necessarily mean that you can't become an immortal, now that you have cultivated to the third realm to build a foundation, it's time to practice.
This is my storage ring, which contains the fundamental exercises of the Dou Fang Dao and all the savings of my father over the past hundred years, including everything that my father has captured in this war against the mechanical race, which is enough for you to cultivate to the sixth realm.
From now on, you must not call yourself a disciple of Doufang Dao, you must keep it in mind, go out and find your Houde uncle, you don't need to watch my ceremony of entering the underworld. ”
As soon as Li Debang's voice fell, he threw the storage ring in his hand to Li Jian.
"The child must be remembered, and the child will go to Uncle Houde. ”
Li Jian took the storage ring, put it on, knelt and kowtowed to his father, and then exited the main hall.
"That's right, alas~ That's all the father can give you, son, I tell you again, be born as a human being, live in the moment, I don't know when we can meet each other.
Son, remember, at any time, in any place, when you encounter any difficulties, do not give up, do not be brave and unscrupulous, think twice before acting, and leave hole cards in everything just in case.
The backers will fall, and everyone will run, only if you are strong, it is true. Be sure to remember!"
"Plop!"
"Father, the child must be remembered, but the child will not be able to see his father again for the rest of his life.
The child is not filial, may the father take care of himself in the future, wait for the return of his son, bang ~ bang ~ bang ~"
Li Jian knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times in a row, and when he raised his head, he was already in tears and couldn't cry.
"What are you crying about, men don't flick when they have tears, go quickly!" After Li Debang finished speaking, a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
Li Jian got up and slowly withdrew from the main hall, and when he saw that Dao Tong was still waiting outside the door at this time, he instructed Dao Tong to lead him to Uncle Houde, who was waiting in the teleportation array.
After walking through several palaces, we finally arrived at the teleportation array.
Houde could see that this young man was nervous, he couldn't help patting Li Jian's shoulder, and said softly:
"Li Jian, don't be afraid, it's just a non-directional realm teleportation, it's much safer than Xingzhou, and when the teleportation is completed, you can start your new life in the new world. “
