Chapter 1 Where is this place?
Zhang Xun suddenly had a splitting headache, and since then he woke up, and when he looked up, it was a strange bamboo forest. The reason why it is strange is because this bamboo is a variety that he has never seen before. I saw that this bamboo is green and gorgeous, and the heaven and earth are in harmony, there seems to be a trace of Taoism, and it is difficult to find its trace. It's a lot of work, but in fact, Zhang Xun only opened his eyes for less than thirty seconds, but he observed the bamboo forest, and his head hurt even more, no, not only did he have a headache, but his body also began to twitch, and in the depths of his mind, a memory began to surface. Zhang Xun knew that this memory was the reason why he suddenly appeared in this world, and he understood that he had to endure this pain in order to accept this memory, or inheritance, and to understand the world that was new to him.
Zhang Xun did not come to this world before, born in a place called Jiangcheng in Hubei, China, since childhood hard reading poetry and books, in view of the Song Dynasty, the decline of literature and Taoism, determined to revive the Chinese literature and Taoism, but the wisdom is shallow, the civil and military is not good, gradually depressed, obsessed with wine, from time to time from the mouth of a sentence to the sage of the remarks or the ink people left by the quatrain, and this smugness. In fact, in the eyes of those who know him, he is a big fool who doesn't know how to be flexible, chews words, and looks like a literary and artistic young man, but his brain is caught by the door.
Zhang Xun endured the pain, perhaps it was the experience on the earth that aroused his inner fighting spirit, or maybe it was the desire for the mysterious memory, and slowly Zhang Xun did not feel the pain, and entered a mysterious and mysterious "emptiness" realm. At this time, a fairy voice sounded in the depths of my mind: "Destined person, congratulations on passing the test of this Daoist!" Hahaha, three thousand years, Lao Dao has been alone in this bamboo forest and has only been waiting for destined people for three thousand years, and finally waited for you kid.By the way, what is your kid's name?" Zhang Xungang wanted to open his mouth, but found that he couldn't control his body at all at this time. The old man said angrily: "Idiot, why did the old way wait for you after three thousand years of waiting? The sky has no eyes! That's it, boy, listen, at this moment this old way is in your mind, you don't have to say anything, just meditate in your heart." Zhang Xun responded in his heart: "Xiaosheng Zhang Xun, please meet the Taoist." I still wanted to ask something, and I remembered the voice of the old Tao in my mind: "Boy, this old way is not the deity now, just a phantom, you don't understand any mortals now, this old way of phantom time is running out, you kid just listen patiently." Zhang Xun had no choice but to stop thinking nonsense and listen carefully to what this crazy Taoist said. Lao Dao smiled, this kid is also interesting, Lao Dao did have a "crazy man" Dao name back then. But for now, it's better to get down to business. So he continued: "Boy, listen up, this is the Wenchang Realm (Wenchang Continent), which is different from the blue planet you were on before, this is a world where Wendao is respected. And I am a drunken Taoist, originally a child in the Lu country, and then I had to meet the fairy fate and enter the Daomen. Boy, are you willing to worship me as a teacher and revive Lu Guowendao?" Zhang Xun thought that he had no choice now, so he saluted to the old Taoist disciple, "Disciple Zhang Xun greets the teacher!" The old Taoist smiled: "Okay, this jade pendant will be handed over to you, and the teacher will disappear into this world." The task of reviving the Tao is entrusted to you. ”
Lao Dao's voice disappeared, Zhang Xun slowly woke up, opened his eyes, and saw a figure in the sky in the middle of the bamboo forest rapidly dissipating, it was the cheap master he had just recognized. Zhang Xun hurriedly chased after the phantom, but there was a formation at the entrance of the bamboo forest, Zhang Xun had no choice but to kneel down sadly in the face of the phantom of the master who was getting smaller and smaller in the air, and shouted loudly: "Master, you can go with confidence! As if hearing Zhang Xun's call, the phantom in the air disappeared completely.
Zhang Xun's heart was depressed at this time, thinking that the master he had just recognized left him and disappeared into this world. The sorrow comes from the heart, and the body is shaky. In his previous life, Zhang Xun was also a person who read poetry and books and was familiar with traditional Chinese medicine. Knowing that he couldn't go on like this, he strengthened his mind, clenched his teeth, and spit out a mouthful of blood. Coincidentally, the blood happened to fall on the jade pendant given by the master on his chest, and I saw that the jade pendant suddenly shone brightly. After the light disappeared, the master's voice came out: "Apprentice, I am very happy for the teacher, I am not wrong for the teacher, you really respect the teacher in your heart, and you are not a ruthless and unrighteous person." If you don't spit out that mouthful of blood, you won't be able to let this jade pendant recognize the Lord and get my inheritance. In the end, he could only be trapped here, and he couldn't even leave the bamboo forest. All right. This jade pendant silently recites the mantra in your heart: "Wine enters the bowels and turns into lovesick tears." "You will be able to enter the inner space, which contains everything that the teacher left for you." The voice disappeared, and Jade Pei returned to normal. Zhang Xun knew that at this moment he was truly recognized and accepted the inheritance of his master. In Huaxia language, it is his character that has passed.
Zhang Xun was not in a hurry to open the jade pendant at the moment, and he had just regained his mobility after coming to this bamboo forest, so it was better to observe the surrounding environment first. One side is a bamboo forest, Zhang Xun has always faced this bamboo forest before, and turned around. Behind it is a wall with a well next to it. There is a strange stone next to the well, and I saw three big characters written on it. But there are no houses around! I walked strangely towards the strange stone, and walked three or five steps. I saw a burst of golden light, and lines of handwriting began to appear on the wall, which looked like small seals, and soon more than 5,000 words of articles were on the wall, as if the martial arts master carved it with a sword. Fortunately, Zhang Xun was quite interested in some ancient Chinese characters in his previous life, and he had studied them specifically, but he recognized this small seal font. At first glance, it is the "Tao Te Ching". Zhang Xun was really speechless in his heart at this moment! How could he meet such a master who liked to toss people? Zhang Xun knew that this was another test left by the crazy Taoist master, so let's realize the Tao and realize the Tao! It was also a rare opportunity. Zhang Xun looked at the small seal "Tao Te Ching" on the wall, and at the same time felt his understanding of the Tao in his previous life. The first thing that comes to mind is that four words are good. At this time, the wall changed again, and the Tao Te Ching disappeared, except for a painting in which a shepherd boy pointed to the end of the stream. So he leaned down and carefully touched the stone with his right hand, and sure enough, at this time, there was a bulge that seemed to be in the shape of water lines under the word Ju, Zhang Xun touched the end of the water lines, and then clicked with his fingers, and doors and windows appeared on the wall. There is also a couplet on the door, which is the four characters of drunken road and leisure, and the couplet reads, "Between the world and the world, where is the way? The next couplet reads, "Asking the rivers and lakes, drunkenness is rare." It's a dream. Zhang Xun was also a lover of wine in his previous life, and looking at this couplet of his master's drunken Taoist, he felt a sense of identity.
Zhang Xun pressed the thoughts in his heart, pushed open the door and entered the free house. I found a bronze mirror first, and I took a look. (Also, Zhang Xun didn't know what he looked like in this life when he came to this Wenchang Continent!) I saw that the faces that appeared in the bronze mirror were not bad, but they looked very young, and they seemed to be less than twenty years old. Looking at the clothes on his body again, Zhang Xun smiled, looking like a down-and-out scholar. It's okay, this image is absolutely amazing, anyway, whether in his previous life or in this life, he wants to revive Wendao. Zhang Xun thought about it, it was better to freshen up and sleep first, and then wake up and enter the jade pendant. So he picked up the bucket and went to the door to fetch well water, took a bath, changed into the clothes left by the master in the cabinet, got up and poured the dirty water on the bed.
The night passed quickly, and the rising sun shone in, which was very comfortable. Zhang Xun woke up and was exhausted. Go outside to fetch water from the well, rinse your mouth and wash your face. After a while, Zhang Xun stepped out of the door of the free house, looking for food. At this moment, this small world has a formation barrier accident in addition to the bamboo forest, which is simply a big change. Along the strange stone with the word "Wandering Home" written on it, yesterday's weeds disappeared, and a path about two hundred meters long appeared, and at the end of the path was a clear stream. Zhang Xun's eyesight is excellent now, he saw the fish in the stream swimming happily, laughed, his lunch was gone, and he strode towards the stream. Half an hour later, Zhang Xun caught more than 20 fish of two or three catties and returned to Xiaoyaoju. Zhang Xun dealt with it briefly, then went down to the pot to cook a fish soup, and roasted a few fish on the fire, and after a while, he ate it in a big gulp. After eating and drinking, Zhang Xun picked up the jade pendant on his chest and silently recited the mantra in his heart and entered the jade pendant space.
Zhang Xun entered the jade pendant space for the first time, and after looking at the situation, he pushed the door into a room that looked like a study, and sure enough, several bookshelves were full of all kinds of books, and there were catalogs on the shelves. Zhang Xun thought, first of all, it is better to understand the continent, so he picked up a copy of "Chronicle of the Wenchang Continent" and read it, until his stomach screamed with hunger again, and then he stopped reading. Go out to eat, come back in when you are full, and so on, three months later, Zhang Xun finally finished reading all the books about the Wenchang Continent.
It turns out that there are seven countries in the Wenchang continent now (it should be more than 3,000 years ago), Qi State, Lu State, Zhao State, Qin State, Zhou State, Wei State, and Xia State. Among them, the country of Lu produced Confucius, Wendao Dachang, prosperous more than one Jiazi, and the people spontaneously repaired the Confucian Temple, spread the "Analects", and was powerful for a while, and even the year was used in the Wenchang year, taking the meaning of its Wendao Dachang. It's just that the prosperity must decline, and the heart of the tiger and wolf of the Qin State, the reckless army, gradually developed, and the Lu State declined, and it was in a corner of peace. Zhang Xun's cheap master Drunken Daoren was a child in Ji County, Dongshan County, Lu State, who was once obsessed with Wendao, but later had an adventure and embarked on the road of cultivating immortals. Three thousand years ago, the drunken Taoist failed to cross the catastrophe, leaving only a phantom. Later, the drunken Taoist (phantom) looked back on the past and knew that the revival of Wendao was his heart knot, so he traveled everywhere, found the bamboo forest on the border of Lu State, made some arrangements, and waited for the destined person, but he didn't expect that this wait was three thousand years.
Zhang Xun drank too much once on the earth, and when he woke up, he crossed over, maybe this is destined by heaven! Zhang Xun strengthened his belief at this time and worked hard to revive Wendao.
