Chapter One Reincarnation as a Human Being, Xuanme

　　East China Continent. 　　Cangwu Mountain, Good Abyss View. 　　Zhang Yan slowly withdrew from the stillness, he only felt that the spirit is clear and bright, breathing if nothing else, the body is also a lightness and comfort, obviously is the work has improved again. 　　However, there was no joy on his face. 　　"This kind of spitting technique although make my body light and healthy, stronger than mortals a few points, but in the end is not the right way, practicing to old age and death is only light and healthy, ears and eyes, just now if you are waiting for the opportunity, not to mention the road is difficult, even livelihood is difficult to continue, it is not possible to say today will be a dangerous move." 　　Just this step out, there is no retreat. 　　Zhang Yan pondered, although he had already calculated the gains and losses, but this foot to the door to step out, it is inevitable to suffer. 　　His hands subconsciously hold a piece of body crystal moist jade gently rubbed up, at once, a wave of such as gelatinous smooth skin like delicate touch from the fingers, slightly irritable mood can not help but gradually peaceful down. 　　He could not help but smile, since he is no longer the original Zhang Yan, then it should be from the heart, but also my original, all the concerns of the past can be put aside. 　　Thinking of this, his heart felt a burst of relief, apparently after the mind let go, he finally and this specific body perfect fit. 　　Ten days ago, Cangwu mountain sky falling meteor, the original owner of this body inadvertently picked up this piece of jade from the sky, which knows that there is no time to peek at the bottom of the death on the spot. 　　And originally in the world of doom struggled for seven years, because of covering the camp retreat and accidental death of Zhang Yan, but was able to borrow reborn into this young man with the same name. 　　Zhang Yan, one of the three lower houses of the Mingcang Sect, and a registered disciple of the Shan Yuan Guan. 　　His predecessor was originally from an official family, and at the age of sixteen, he was instructed by a senior person to come to Shan Yuan Guan to visit the Tao and seek immortality. However, three years passed by in a hurry, and apart from learning the art of vomiting to strengthen his body and mind, he did not learn the fabled magic of the immortals. 　　The high man had told him that in order to enter the Xuanmen, one must first build the Yuan Ling, open the immortal vein, shed the mortal body, and plant the Xuan root! 　　This was actually talking about the first threshold that a cultivator needed to face on the way to cultivation - opening the veins! 　　Only through the immortal vein, wash away all the dust and dirt, only to be able to cultivate the legendary immortal method of immortal skills, and from then on into the Xuanmen Avenue, and even if the ordinary spitting technique and then practiced on the thirty to fifty years can not enter the immortal family. 　　In the final analysis, if you do not open the veins, you will not become an immortal! 　　If you can not do this, then simply cut off the idea of the immortal path! 　　As the saying goes, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, a nine-tiered platform begins with a base, opening the veins is not an overnight success, first of all, it is necessary to condense the qi and build up the yuan, however, just this one step makes Zhang Yan feel quite helpless. 　　His predecessor repeatedly come and go to practice for three years long introductory method, whenever to go to the view of the master there to seek further method, the master just told him that the chance is not yet, the work is not yet deep, so that he doubled the heart of the cultivation. 　　The former on the mountain before it is just a simple and innocent young man, without any experience in the world, not to mention the guidance of others, but also thought it was really so, regardless of summer, summer and winter, are hard to cultivate, every day there are three hours spent on this magic. 　　Zhang Yan can only report a bitter smile, this is too honest, actually believe this set of words? 　　Although occupying this body has not long, but he can also see from some clues, the so-called chance, is not money filial piety it? Without money, and is not talented, who will come to take care of you as an insignificant disciple? 　　Fortunately, there must be gain, so that Zhang Yan to comfort is, several years of hard practice, this body is to lay a solid foundation, the entire Good Abyss view I'm afraid there is no one like him to focus on the introductory method. 　　To know, this set of heart method is called "one qi clear scripture", the so-called Taoist born one, one life two, two born three, three born all things, "one qi clear scripture" to obtain is the word "one", can be said to be the beginning of the great Taoist way. 　　Along with the cultivator's deep cultivation, cultivation method will have high and low up and down, but the initial "one" is the same way, not much difference, most of the world's Xuanmen Sect is the most fundamental of the art of vomiting for the most fundamental of the entrance to the foundation. 　　But this is only the most superficial method, there is no superior method of extradition, and then the good foundation can not sprout results. 　　After experiencing the apocalyptic catastrophe in his previous life, in front of all kinds of natural disasters and viruses, Zhang Yan deeply felt the powerlessness and insignificance of mortals, so at this moment his heart to seek the Way was far more fiery and intense than anyone else. 　　Since he had come to this world, he could never miss the Great Dao of Eternal Life! 　　Although he has great determination, great perseverance, but now there are more urgent things to consider, three years of monasticism, his predecessor and not productive, with the money on the mountain has been exhausted, now in addition to the body of a small cooking tripod, ink, paper and ink stone set, there is no money, now daily only to the wild vegetables to wrap the stomach. 　　It is still difficult to make a living, how can we talk about seeking immortality? 　　Cultivation is not to hide in the mountains, do not eat the world, but is an extremely consuming thing, not rich family, do not want to support it. 　　Of course, those who are gifted and have been recognized by their masters are naturally another story. 　　Just like Zhang Yan who took the initiative to go to the mountain to seek Taoism, then he would need to bear all the expenses by himself. 　　In the past few days, Zhang Yan thought hard about how to solve the predicament in front of him, but he came up with a way, if he planned properly, not only can solve the problem in front of him, but also to enter the sight of the master of the Good Abyssal View. 　　However, this approach carries a certain amount of risk, a wrong step is the end of the world, but since the heavens have given him this opportunity, want him to abandon the road down the mountain is also never possible. 　　He could only move forward, not backward. 　　As the saying goes, the arrow is on the string and has to be sent! 　　In his opinion, the previous Zhang Yan only knew how to cultivate behind closed doors and did not know how to tap into his own wealth. 　　Because his predecessor was originally a scholar, he had spent a lot of effort on studying the "etchings", the script used by monks. 　　Almost all of the Taoist texts were written in this script, which could be said to be the foundation of Taoism. 　　In Zhang Yan's opinion, the etchings were more accurately described as the cultivator's "code" rather than a script. Each etching is a word of a thousand meanings, into a sentence after understanding is like a heavenly book, in order to read and understand, not only rely on the endowment of enlightenment, but also with bamboo chips to divination and deduction, sorting out the general clues, after a detailed understanding of the gain. 　　Such interpretation is half by divination, half by guessing, read up often waste of time, of course, there is no efficiency to speak of, hand in hand with the Taoist book, read three years and five years do not understand the meaning of not a few, so that most of the monks have a headache. 　　If you are not willing to spend time grinding, you can go to the master in the view to seek advice, it depends on whether you have enough "chance". 　　Perhaps dipped in the light of two lifetimes, already in the etchings quite talented Zhang Yan think now is even more agile and agile thinking, divination deduction not only seldom wrong, even the speed is also several times faster than usual, he can rely on helping people to interpret the etchings in exchange for money. 　　But that alone was not enough. 　　He gripped the remnant jade in his hand and couldn't help but smile, with it, it would be more certain. 　　Raising his head to look at the sky, it was now the hour of the hour, the light of the sky outside was great, the mountain fog dissipated, he stood up with a long body, carried the bamboo basket that had been prepared long ago on his back, and holding a bamboo streamer in his hand, he walked out slowly. 　　His residence is good abyss view from the cliff opened out of the cave wall rock mansion, convenient to go up the mountain to seek Taoist meditation habitat used, the cave outside the repair of a boardwalk for passage, the outside of no guardrail, within three steps is a ten thousand feet of cliffs, it is daunting to look at. 　　However, he lived here alone for three years, the scene in front of him has long been regarded as a straight path, naturally easy to walk, straight out of the trestle, all the way along the mountain road. 　　Cangwu Mountain has a total of eighteen peaks and thirty-six water streams, in the ninth peak Yue dome peak at the top of the mountain, there is a flat smooth boulder here, known as the "Thousand People Rock", whenever the sun rises in the east, when the clouds of color, the Good Abyss view of hundreds of disciples will get up early in the here spit out the old and eat the essence of heaven and earth. 　　From Zhang Yan living stargazer peak to the thousand-foot rock, about half an hour's journey, when he came here, the disciples have long been dispersed, only some disciples gathered together in twos and threes to talk about cultivation experience, he did not pay much attention to it, he looked for a wide view of the pavilion, sat down on the stone bench, and then picked up the bamboo streamer, open the ink, paper and inkstone, sitting there with eyes closed. 　　Not long after, a person stepped on the stone steps in front of the pavilion and came over, he looked at the bamboo streamer, then looked at Zhang Yan, stared at him and said: ''Explaining the etchings of the Taoist book? Brother, seeing as you don't have a high cultivation level either, how dare you say such big words?" 　　The person who came was about twenty years old, broad waist, stout body, a green-colored Taoist robe, sleeves pulled up to the small arm, revealing the strong muscles, his eyes have God, the color of jade on the face, at a glance it is known that the construction of Yuan has been accomplished, has crossed the "condensation of Yuan to show the meaning of the" realm, there is this kind of cultivation of the person, the head should not be small. 　　His questioning is obviously right, generally speaking, can decipher etchings and a person's cultivation is very related, you have not reached that point, and how can you understand the meaning of the book with others? The deeper the pool, the more water it holds, this is an unbreakable truth. 　　Of course, if someone spends his whole life studying the etchings, then it is possible to achieve something, such as those who know that there is no hope for cultivation, but also have a deep interest in the metaphysics, but these people first of all, food and clothing, and none of them is the head of the poor, devoted to the character of life. 　　And Zhang Yan looked like he hadn't even completed his twenties, and he hadn't even succeeded in building his Yuan, so it could be said that he couldn't talk about any cultivation, so how could he convince people? 　　Zhang Yan smiled, his expression was very gentle and courteous, stood up and arched his hand, saying, "Jun can give it a try." 　　Seeing Zhang Yan's calm demeanor, like he really had a few doorways, this person couldn't help but have some curiosity, and similarly arched his hand and said, "My name is Min Lou, a disciple of the Virtue Cultivation Observatory, I don't know how to address this senior brother?" 　　Zhang Yan returned the salute and said, "I don't dare, my name is Zhang Yan, I am a disciple of the Good Abyss View." 　　Dexiu Guan and Shan Yuan Guan were one of the three major lower houses of the Ming Cang Sect, and the disciples of the two sects often traveled back and forth to discuss the Dao, however, there was a big event that happened on Cangwu Mountain in the past couple of days, and thus quite a number of disciples from the three Guans were gathered, and they mostly lived here on Yue Dome Peak, where the mountain terrain was relatively more flat. 　　Min Lou let out a laugh and sat down in front of Zhang Yan, saying, "I wonder what is the point of Senior Brother's interpretation of the Eclipses?" 　　"Rice grains, silver can be exchanged." Zhang Yan pointed to the inconspicuous line of small characters at the lower corner of the long streamer, the first thing he had to solve was the livelihood issue, which was the top priority in front of him. 　　Min Lou looked and realized that Zhang Yan did not ask for much, if he could really decipher the etchings, it would be considered a "cheap sale". 　　"Good, I can still afford to pay for the rice and grain, come, I have a Taoist book here." Min Lou was also a quick person, taking out a thin Dao book from his pocket and slapping it on the stone table, his expression was quite playful, "Please take a look!" 　　Zhang Yan calmly took the book, casually flipped through a few pages, after a slight smile, take the pen dipped in ink, also do not think about it, on the white paper to write. 　　Min Lou's expression stared in surprise, "Oh, you don't use bamboo chips to deduce?" 　　Usually when interpreting Taoist books, they all take out bamboo chips to divine and deduce, without using bamboo chips, such a skill he had only seen from a few initiated brothers with high cultivation. 　　"No need." 　　Zhang Yan did not raise his head, the tone of voice although bland, but which that a sense of confidence is enough to infect the bystanders, Min Lou although the heart is still half-believe, but the color from the original playful unconsciously become serious for a few points. 　　Zhang Yan even turned over ten pages, and did not feel that there are any obstacles. That's right, if it was a book on the Dao, the other party wouldn't be willing to take it out and show it to him, but after flipping through a few more pages, his brows furrowed, and his pen couldn't help but give a slight lurch. 　　Min Lou glanced at Zhang Yan's expression and couldn't help but smile secretly. 　　The front of the book is not much, but there are a few obstacles that are quite puzzling, at the beginning he asked an entry brother to read through, even so, there are still some obscure details that are still in doubt, he did not believe that the other side of the district a registered disciple to be able to decipher out. 　　Although he had encountered a difficult obstacle, Zhang Yan did not panic, but quietly gripped the remnants of the jade in his sleeve with his left hand, and immersed his mind into it, and in just a moment, he resumed writing. 　　In Min Lou's opinion, Zhang Yan just closed his eyes slightly and contemplated for a few moments, then he put his pen down again, he could not help but show a puzzled look, and then suddenly realized that, in his opinion, Zhang Yan should have skipped this paragraph, but this is also a common thing in deciphering the etchings, and on this occasion, he was just a whim, and a little bit of teasing, so he didn't expect any results. 　　About half an hour later, Zhang Yan's brush gave a heavy beat and finally ended, then he picked up the white paper and blew it dry, handing it over to Min Lou. 　　Min Lou took it with a smile on his face, took a look at it, and casually praised, "Good words, good words." 　　However, after a few more glances, he was taken aback, and the more he looked at it, the more surprised he became, and in the end, he actually stood up in a frenzy, looking at Zhang Yan in a daze. 　　This interpretation out of the Taoist book statements with words very concise and incisive, can see that this Zhang Yan is not only a reader origin, and in the etching of a road quite attainments, not only that, but also his original that some of the doubts are also written a clear, we must know that this is less than an hour out of the interpretation ah. 　　Min Lou's gaze towards Zhang Yan was suddenly different, and he replaced it with a look of admiration, saying sincerely, "Senior brother is good at what he does, I bow to him." Previously, he had questioned Zhang Yan because he didn't believe that the other party had this ability, but now that he could see that Zhang Yan had real skills, his attitude and tone immediately became much more respectful. 　　Zhang Yan arched his hand and said, "Shame on me, I only rely on this to make a living." 　　Min Lou raised the paper in his hand and laughed, "Senior brother has this ability, what else do you worry about making a living? I, along with my brothers and sisters, would like to come here more often in the future." 　　To be able to decipher Taoist books with just a few rice and foodstuffs was a great bargain for him! Although Zhang Yan is down and out, in the future there will be a day of reckoning, people like this are not befriended now, in the future there will not be that opportunity. 　　Zhang Yan immediately got up, arched his hand, and said, "In that case, thank you for your success." 　　Min Lou was stunned, then laughed out loud, "Senior Brother Zhang is a wonderful person!" 　　Zhang Yan smiled without saying anything, not everyone was as confident in himself as Min Lou was, but since he said that he was willing to find a senior brother to take care of his "business", regardless of whether it was polite or not, he simply said the words to death first, so that he could not shirk. And it seems that Min Lou is not an ordinary cultivation disciple, one to two, naturally can climb out of friendship, why not? 　　Min Lou then said goodbye and left, on the way out of the money never mentioned, Zhang Yan also do not ask more questions, the look of certainty, it seems that each other have forgotten this point. 　　When it was noon, four people dressed as servants each pushing a wheelbarrow came to the front of the pavilion at the Thousand Zhang Rock, and the first one bowed respectfully to Zhang Yan and said, "Is this Mr. Zhang? We are servants of Duke Min, following his orders to deliver this rice and money to his residence." 　　Zhang Yan nodded and said, "Everyone wait for now." 　　He was in no hurry to turn back, and these servants did not look impatient, quietly waiting on the side, this scene naturally attracted many people to stop and watch. 　　This scene naturally attracted a lot of people to stop and watch. But this day, in addition to Min Lou, no one came to take care of his business, only a few people asked to ask a couple of questions, no matter who, Zhang Yan is a one by one answer, until the sun is in the west before closing the stalls, with four servants pushing the wheelbarrow back to the residence. 　　Zhang Yan just left soon, a thirty years out of the head of the middle-aged scribe hurriedly rushed to, but found that the pavilion has long been empty, can not help but even pause, full of chagrin color.
