Chapter 1, Missing the Moon and Hanging Shutong
The crescent moon is clear and shining on the Taoist temple's shadows. The cold dew first condenses, reflecting the faint fragrance of osmanthus. In the quiet courtyard, the young Taoist priest in the gray sermon robe is dancing his sword.
The sword shadows under the moonlight shine, and the occasional sound of falling leaves make the atmosphere of lonely and silent deeper. As if being rendered by this atmosphere, the Taoist priest's sword light slowly reveals a faint desolation, mixed with longing, affection, and a hint of despair permeated.
After a long time, the frost moon hiding dark clouds, and the Taoist priest also returned the sword to the sheath, standing silently. Apart from the sound of the wind, there was no sound after hearing.
The dew wet the Taoist robe. The Taoist priest didn't realize it at all. After a long time, he seemed to be muttering to himself: "It's the fifth generation, I'll be back in the mirror and water moon, parents, sister, and... I can't come back after all."
This Taoist priest has a unique origin. He was an ordinary young man called the Earth Star. Somehow, he traveled to another world. After his death, he continued to travel with memories, and repeated it. This is the fifth world.
In the first world, he became a beggar on the street, but he still couldn't accept the reality. He was confused and died of cold and starvation.
In the second life, he was lucky and became a scholar. He struggled to find his way home but failed. In addition, he missed his relatives and old friends in Dixing's hometown and died of depression.
In the third world, I accidentally learned that I had actually arrived in the world of martial arts novels on Earth Star. Thinking of the plots in many online novels I read on Earth Star, maybe I worked hard to learn martial arts and could break through the void and return to Earth Star. Unfortunately, I was not very talented and failed to do my best. The biggest gain was to temper my mind and have some simple understanding of martial arts.???? In the fourth world, this is the world of the legendary heroes of the Condor Heroes. He worshipped the Quanzhen Sect. In addition to practicing Quanzhen Method, he studied the Daozang in detail. Before he traveled through time, he liked Taoist philosophy very much, and now he put his hope of going back in the Daozang. Although Quanzhen Qizi martial arts is not the top martial arts, there is no doubt that Taoist kung fu is the best. If you want to study, you will definitely gain much more.
Later, he was able to find the Wanshou Daozang and was deeply inspired. He studied in seclusion in the mountains for 40 years. When he left the seclusion at the age of a hundred, he finally saw the broken hope. However, at that time, the Quanzhen Sect had become a scorched earth. It turned out that he was isolated from the world when he was in seclusion, and the Quanzhen Sect had long been destroyed under the Yuanmeng Iron Cavalry. In anger, he raised his sword and rushed towards Dadu, fought among the troops for six days, and died exhausted. Although he saw hope, it had never been realized.
In this fifth generation, he built a hut in a barren mountain and lived in seclusion and practiced martial arts. He only thought that one day he would succeed and find his way home. He had accumulated in his previous life. After more than twenty years, he had achieved the highest achievement at the Quanzhen Sect. He just broke the void, but he was still far behind. He could feel that the requirement of breaking this world was higher than that of the The Legend of the Condor Heroes, but he knew that the accumulation had been completed and he wanted to go further. The meaning of hard practice was not very important.
"When I was young, I loved reading the gods and thought of Yanxia the most. The plum and cranes were friends with neighbors and clouds, and the piano poems and wine and swords made tea. Now I gradually understand the taste of love, and I know that I can understand the endless lovesickness. Sour, astringent, sweet and flat as if I can rely on it, and I need to surpass the flowers in the mirror of immortality."
Reading the poem written on the earth star, the Taoist priest couldn't say anything in his heart. "Oh, Ning'er, I want to see you again now. I'm really sorry. I can't even remember your appearance now. I still remember the poems I wrote for you. I really miss you very much."
Thinking of Yiren, who was once in love with her but was unable to stay together forever, I couldn't tell what it felt. Even though it was a lifetime of reincarnation and a hundred years, some people would only be unforgettable under the influence of time. Every time I think of it, it would be like a knife in my heart. But the more painful it hurts in my heart, the more I can't help but miss it.
Sad people don’t have a hug, and they suffer from bitter longing day and night. “I want to see you again.”
After a long period of confusion, the Taoist priest turned around silently: "Let's go down the mountain tomorrow, I don't know which world this is?"
However, when he turned around, he found that there was one more person in the yard, a stone table. Even though he had been reincarnated for several lifetimes and his mind grew to an extreme level with time, he was shocked. His ability to appear silently and the sudden extra tables and chairs undoubtedly showed the extraordinaryness of the people coming. He was almost certain that this person was most immortal and god-like.
"Are I coming to the world of fairy tales? But this is also good news. After all, the more mortal the power is, the greater the possibility of going back." Thinking of this, he stood quietly in place, looking at the "Immortal God" that suddenly appeared.
It was a strange thing. Facing this mysterious and mysterious visitor, he didn't feel awe or uneasy in his heart, and he didn't even feel alert.
He was wearing a blue dress, like a Confucian shirt, or a Taoist robe; carrying a sword on his back and holding a yellow wine gourd in his hand, drinking it all in one bite-by-one. It was indescribable and comfortable.
The moon is full of the west building, one stands quietly, and the other drinks freely. The uninvited "guest" greets first: "Come on, fellow Taoist, let me drink all the beautiful moonlight with me, and talk about the wandering journey in a foreign land for several lifetimes." A sentence from a literary youth, from this person's mouth, gives people the joking smell of "you have stories, I have wine".
After hearing this, the Taoist priest could not remain calm, but the person opposite seemed to have a magical power that made him unable to feel refusal. He took a deep breath, suppressed his mood, and sat opposite the guest as he said. He was confused for a moment, had thousands of questions and resentment, and didn't know where to speak for a while.
As if he saw his emotions, the uninvited guest spoke again, "I know you have a lot of questions and a lot of things to say. Don't worry, I can answer them one by one, okay?"
"Can I go back? How can I go back? What's going on? Why is it all about this?..." The Taoist priest asked a little urgently. He was not stupid after all. This guest's words had already revealed enough information. As if he realized that he was a little anxious, the Taoist priest paused and asked again: "I haven't asked the senior what to call him yet?"
"You should have heard of me." The guest took another sip of wine. "I am Lu Chunyang. As for the reasons for all this, you can't understand it even if I say it. Maybe it's your own opportunity. I just received the teacher's instructions and followed you all the way and enlightened you. But I can tell you something about it, all this is a training for you and your destiny. When you can really get out, you can go back to where you want to go. Simply put, it is because you somehow got some opportunities, which is the reason why you rotate in another world. And the reason why I appeared is because the ancestors think that you should be able to calculate a seed and give you a fate method. Well, you can understand it this way."
"What kind of experience? I am just an ordinary person on the Earth Star, and I can't afford to be destined. I just want to go back and be filial to my parents and accompany my lover to grow old. I am afraid I can't afford to be the fate of the ancestors you mentioned." After all, born in the 21st century, no matter how simple a person is, he knows that there will be no pie falling from the sky. Out of vigilance, he refused without thinking.
