"I'm going to find him!"
"He looks even better with white hair than he did a hundred years ago!"
"Find him, and then--"
"Hello, marry me!"
Warm sunlight streamed through the gaps in the leaves, like flowing gold, falling on the forests of Northern Europe with their vast expanses of tall trees, passing through the snow-capped mountains, and falling into the lakes, rippling with a warm, golden dawn.
Beside the lake, the Lady of the Lake, Vivian, looked at the photos her cat-eared bestie sent her.
The sun set in the west, the clouds unfurling and stretching.
A cold and austere young Daoist priest, clad in a wide Daoist robe, his white hair cascading down.
His temperament gentle and refined, like the black wooden hairpin, standing before Dragon Tiger Mountain, truly like an immortal descended to the mortal realm.
"Conflict occurred with the Holy See, a minor bishop. At first, I thought his surname was Niu (cow), but upon arriving, I realized that the West and East are the same, and his name was Newton. Having known him for over a decade, your existence has made me, especially in my old age, increasingly doubt the existence of God. You once displayed the causal transformations gifted by our teacher."
"The teacher wishes to see you."
"When the celestial stars shifted, you knew the teacher had appeared. Even though you are not yet hundreds of years old, your heart still surged, and you set aside the matters at hand. Later, you went to Tianmu Mountain. When you arrived, you only saw Qi Jiguang and a swordsman who had practiced for many years. When you inquired, you discovered that the teacher had already departed."
"A disciple of the Shenzhou Daoist Tianshi (Celestial Master) Sect went to Sakura Island and clashed with this Xu Fu."
"You have harmed me."
"If any commoner suffered injustice, the *xiao gao* (small proclamation) atop their head could bind officials and escort them to the capital. No one along the way was allowed to stop them, or they would be guilty. But coming here, I ultimately lost my original intention. The intent to kill and the nature to kill gradually rose. You calculated that he would have a calamity, that his wife and children would die, and his murderous nature would greatly increase."
"My name is Li, later named Li Shizhen."
"Dining on clouds and drinking dew, with mountains and rivers as my guests, I am called Xu Xiake. After parting from you, I wrote my travelogues."
[Over a hundred years ago, send this letter to Tushan]
But when the black cat casually mentioned that she seemed to have already sent a message to the Valkyrie of Northern Europe...
For a long time, even sleeping, consuming in that supreme form, slowly eking out these long years that were most agonizing for someone with the method of immortality.
I have lived for too long.
"You have no more friends in this world. The time has come to the end."
"I spent seventy years, but I still couldn't find the teacher. I only reached one conclusion: the teacher's soul lifespan is over eight thousand years. But it was overheard by others, and through exaggeration, it was said that according to reverse deduction from the Bible, God's lifespan is eight thousand years. He taxes his mind too much, often forgetting to eat and sleep when studying, harming his spirit. He often goes without sleep for days, which is originally a sign of a short life."
"This scroll, the teacher once said on the mountain, is based on the Taiping Dao (Way of Supreme Peace), but it also received the inheritance of Shennong's clan, Jiang Shu. However, it seems that it still requires the assistance of certain divine weapons to be able to use it, otherwise, there may be a great disaster."
"It was just that Shizhen inadvertently revealed your whereabouts, attracting Jiajing's repeated harassment. I arranged a sword formation for the teacher and did not intend to comply, so I had to leave."
"The teacher did not impart specific knowledge and methods to you, but only told you to look and listen."
This is a scroll of written records.
Not knowing that there was an adversarial relationship between Zhang Ruosu and the Valkyrie, that the latter was trying every possible way to drag the Daoist of her youth into Valhalla, the Lady of the Lake was immediately shocked and gnashed her teeth. You dare touch my man!
The fleeting words were still calm and composed.
"I wrote down all my records of medicinal properties, which became the *Compendium of Materia Medica*."
"Disciple, can the disciple see you one last time before I die?"
"I comprehended the Daoist arts. In the beginning, every step was very swift, but later, accumulating vast power, it increased limitlessly. I used this momentum and formation to nurture the true spirits of those seven swords, so that the seven swords were able to accumulate the power of an explosion."
"But I am still alive. I should have died long ago, but in the end, I saw off one disciple and friend after another. Albert said that people like me will inevitably enjoy all the loneliness, but I know that he is the same. Only then can we become friends."
"Albert said that I have mild malnutrition and occasional bulimia."
"The souls of the Norse heroes in Valhalla from ancient times do not know reason and etiquette either."
"I have lived for thousands of years, swallowed the elixir of immortality, but ah, teacher, please rest assured."
"Besides the message, the teacher left me his seven divine swords. According to the records on the letter, the teacher seems to have a great battle over a hundred years ago. I decided to set up a formation in those hundred years, nurturing the swords and accumulating power with the seven extremes of Heaven and Earth, to help the teacher."
You, you are not me, you want to turn me into your anchor point, and you want to become my past, so you used the last bit of strength, used the Zhenwu Sword, to cut off that connection."
"Suddenly, I was relieved."
"Truly childish words."
The old man who had lived for countless years muttered to himself.
"I don't know why it always reminds me of the child from back then, ha... who is now called the Medicine Sage. It's just that the child has no interest in herbs and trees, wanting to achieve what others have not achieved, to explore what others have not known."
"It seemed that a person stood above the East Sea, claiming to be Zhenwu, claiming to be Che Liangyong."
"There is still a child who strolls arm in arm with me."
"In the next hundred years, I will travel in the sky, enlightening many people in the world."
"In the past ten years, I have often searched, but I am always one step away from meeting."
"Originally, I should have died too."
"That child chose the seventh scroll."
"I am still reasonable."
"A man from the Yuan Dynasty of Shenzhou, Che Liangyong."
It struck the Lady of the Lake, Vivian's, heart all at once.
"But later, I heard that my father died in a car accident. It shouldn't have happened. He should have had several good years to live. I calculated his fate and found that it seemed to be because, in that museum, I don't know when, some demons and ghosts appeared, distracting the old man, so he accidentally ran a red light and died. He shouldn't have died."
"I asked him, I don't have the divine weapon of Shennong, but I said, your heart and great ambition are no less than Shennong's predecessors. Without a divine weapon, your heart is the first-class divine weapon in the world. Please teach me this way, and I will teach you medical skills. I heard that he later traveled the world, tasted all kinds of herbs, and after returning to his hometown, used seventy-one years."
"What I carry is the path of that gentleman, even if I myself do not know it, nor do I acknowledge it."
"Very cool and detached."
The wind blew past, and the manuscript in front flipped down, recording the latest page of that extremely old man.........
"I stood in front of my tombstone, but could only feel melancholy. I am not the teacher after all."
In the sky, birds with light brown and white wings swept across the sky.
"I was detached. The teacher didn't pass on any specific methods to you. He told you to learn from all things in the world and the yin and yang of nature. You bid farewell to Daoyan and went alone to fulfill the teacher's last wish, except that every seven years, you returned to the mountains and rivers to irrigate the Yin and Yang Qi for [Old Mr. Lin]."
How are you!
"Time is the most magnificent power."
The wind blew, and the words on that ancient book were faintly visible.
"I will pass on all of the teacher's medical skills to him, hoping that he can open up a path to the future."
The black cat also very 'schemingly' took pictures from various angles, using movie close-ups, plus the now immortal Zhang Ruosu was even more elegant and otherworldly, a peerless true immortal.
"It's just that the old gentleman hasn't recovered yet, so he can't speak, and I don't know."
The old man finally left the place where he had lived for a long time.
Marry me!
"We went in, and that child didn't know where he went."
"I went down the mountain, but before I arrived, I observed the celestial phenomena at night and suddenly discovered a change in fate."
"I was very surprised because this was destined to be an extremely difficult path, and this child actually had the foundation for cultivating the Dao. Even though the spiritual energy in this world is not obvious, far less than the Daoist practices of his predecessors, he can at least cultivate magical power."
"Your expectations, the disciple has already completed them, this is the last thing."
"Later, this Fang Yang, with the help of his connections with my disciples, came overseas. He is someone like Shen Wanba, craving more status and wealth. His museum was handed over to his father to take care of."
"The museum has been built, and the flower trees across the street are blooming."
"But when I haven't closed my eyes yet, I, dare not move."
ps: Today's first update... the number of words is enough, seven thousand four hundred words.
"Disciple Zhang Ruosu."
"But it also indirectly changed the fate trajectory of the entire world. I suddenly thought of the straightforward remarks that the teacher and the gentleman in the blue shirt had chatted about a hundred years ago, changing the name of one person to leverage all things in the world."
The sound of the pen falling on the paper under the sunlight brought a sense of peace to the heart.
"I left Wudang Mountain and traveled all over the world, searching for the teacher, but in the end, I still gained nothing."
"Although I am about to reach the limit of my lifespan."
"When he died, he asked you to take action once, he did not want his brain to be sliced and studied by future generations, you refused, this was your last shot in history, Albert, Einstein, you sent your old friend back to my hometown, you watched the departure of old friends in the sun."
"This is the Xuanyuan Sword, its aura is connected to the earth's veins. If one day a humane emperor comes to this place, it should be able to burst out with a more powerful aura in resonance. When going down the mountain, you saw a young man far away from Wudang Mountain, and traveled with him for more than ten years."
This made the elves who were born from the spirituality of Northern Europe panic, and hurriedly pulled the fairy boy of the elf clan who was carrying a bag and going to Shenzhou to find the ungrateful man. They were pulling and tugging next to the elf forest. No matter who it was, no one was willing to give way, even if they quarreled, the voices of the elves were still as pleasant as a poem.
"I am a very talented and talented person."
"My spirit has also aged, and my body cannot bear my soul. However, by supplementing my body with the entire world, I found that this world actually has nothing that can make my body ‘full.’ The vitality is not enough, and the meat is not enough, unless I swallow the entire world, but that is not something that Daoist disciples do..."
"Dual cultivation of life and spirit, the energy needs of the body cannot be satisfied, and the spirit is destined not to last long."
"What the teacher did is what the disciple should do. I should compensate for those costs for the teacher."
"When teaching medical skills, you asked me, there are two medical classics here."
Steady ending, lying flat
Because I have lived for too long, too long.
"Someone changed our destiny."
"After Chongsi ascended the throne, he indeed encouraged development and was very good to the people, strictly demanding from bureaucrats and literati."
"One volume comes from the Taiping Dao's Great Virtuous Teacher, integrating magic and medicine, which can secure one's life and help the world, while the other volume of medical books is even more obscure."
"Although it will damage the foundation, this old man died because of your teacher's arrangement."
The words seemed to have been scribbled over with thick ink when they were written hundreds of years ago.
"Before leaving, the teacher also left some messages for the tree of [Old Mr. Lin]."
The goal is to get everything done between a month and a month and a half, nodding, there is absolutely no problem.
"I have reached the limit of my lifespan."
"It's just that the time to send a message to the teacher's wife as the teacher said is getting closer day by day."
"You took action and stopped Xu Fu's subsequent pursuit."
Originally, the young women still had a heart of restraint.
"Naive, but with clear eyebrows and eyes, especially radiant when talking about the vast mountains and rivers of the world."
"You didn't bring any weapons, nor did you bring any friends, only you alone, sat in front of the ten thousand heroic spirits of the Norse World Tree for eight days and eight nights to show your false intention."
"You sent a message to your disciples to my son, asking him if he was willing to let his father live with me again. I have a method to pass on a foundation of true energy, which can cleanse the Yin spirit for his soul, transform it into pure Yang, and allow him to continue to live through his natural lifespan."
"I need to survive."
"In the next hundred years, I will travel the path of Zheng He's voyages to the West, back and forth to the West, leaving two swords in the extreme north and extreme west. I cannot stay in Shenzhou. The path I have explored seems to be wrong. There is already a sense that the creatures of this era cannot satisfy my body's consumption."
The disciple next to him panicked and wanted to send the letter for me, but the old man refused.
"This year, I heard that Tianmu Mountain collapsed, and ten thousand snakes came out together, and a woman in gray appeared."
"Seeking to see the master, one last time."
The old man slowly stretched out his hand and took out a letter. Even though a long time had passed, the letter was still well preserved, just like when the teacher asked the White Snake to hand it to me back then. The old man stroked the letter, slowly stood up, and it took him a lot of energy to stand up.
"Teacher, do you not want me anymore?"
"That child was calm and composed after being in a desperate situation, leaving and growing up, but I didn't expect that he would be such a troublemaker, and he caused Western affairs. Odin wanted to pull me into Valhalla, which has 100,000 heroes among the souls of Norse dead warriors. Countless warriors, that child is not an opponent."
"I also had a melancholy in my heart, but then I thought, does Chongsi also look at you like this?"
"The teacher took action."
The old man stood up, washed up, changed into the white Daoist robe he had worn back then, and with a peaceful smile, murmured to himself: "Teacher, it's been more than a hundred years."
Swaying through the entire epic-like story, it finally stopped in front of a fountain behind a castle overlooking the place. In the upper reaches of the castle, sunlight flowed down from a stained-glass window with intricate patterns, peaceful and quiet. An extremely old man was slowly writing something.
"Our master and disciples, and master and disciples, are all like this."
That night, he packed his luggage and was about to rush to Shenzhou overnight.
"It's a pity, even if you prolong his life, he will only live past forty."
"The museum has a door painted with green oil paint, inside there are wooden shelves, and cloth sofas with a rough texture. Behind is a small room, a quiet room, originally used for sitting in meditation, which you prepared for you. Above is an attic, where you can read books when you have free time."
"Came under the order of the master, to deliver a letter."
"Until Chongsi passed away, you finally followed the teacher's traces and found the monk named Daoyan, and chatted with him for several months. He seemed to carry the fate of the Hetu Luoshu in the legend, and was able to survive for a long time, and you were from him. , vaguely saw the inheritance and aura of that gentleman in blue."
"Only when you came back to your senses, you were already in tears, and you didn't know how to solve this heart and this feeling."
Every step he took was at the limit of human beings, as if he would die at any time, but he had obsession and persistence, staying in his heart. When taking the first step on this destined long road, the old man muttered in a low voice:
For a long time, in the absence of any substantive inheritance, and without the mark of Fuxi's skills like the Four Immortals, relying on his own understanding and the harmony of the Great Dao, since I opened up the road, I have lived for thousands of years in the human world where spiritual energy is completely cut off, but this is already the limit, I am about to die.
"
Chongsi's murderous intent dissipated, and the two stars of fate that were originally like candles in the wind stabilized. The Blue Jade generals who would have died originally were involved very widely. I don't know how many people were able to survive and then changed the entire world. The celestial phenomena, all things and all laws move with it."
"You told me that it is precisely because of this that this era is different from the past. More and more people are able to cultivate the Taiping Dao, and no one can reach the cultivation level and realm of a Great Virtuous Teacher. Even though the Taiping medical scroll is profound and subtle, it is still difficult to popularize it to hundreds of millions of people in the world."
"Perhaps it is because, when the teacher took you down the mountain, you were still a child, and you still wanted to ride on the White Snake's body. Therefore, as time passed, the patriarch immortal in the eyes of others was still just a child in front of the teacher."
I walked step by step towards the direction of Shenzhou Tushan Clan, without needing to think, because the destination was the location that I had remembered for more than a hundred years. I walked through mountains and rivers, and also seemed to have walked through the past long but short thousand years of history, step by step, walking very fast and very steadily.
"You originally thought that you might not be able to support it until that time. The spiritual energy has been restored, but it's too late... Before that, the world could not supply your soul and body. Before that, your body was already old and was at the limit of its life, but just when you were about to die, you sensed a strange connection."
"Or, you haven't seen the teacher yet?"
"You buried the seventh sword above Kunlun, the origin of all waters, and then used the power of Daoism to open a seal, so that it could absorb the Kunlun earth veins, and the energy of thousands of mountains and rivers. Hundreds of years ago, it accumulated power and became powerful, and it should be able to have an explosion of sharpness."
"When the sun is shining, purple vine flowers will bloom, with vertical roads and flowing sunlight."
"You talked with him for a day, and he proposed to take you to see the Hetu Luoshu and inherit the destiny."
"In the first hundred years, you searched the world and buried this sword above Mount Tai."
Long enough that you have to use words to remind yourself and record one thing after another that you have experienced in the past.
The extremely old man slowly raised his hand, closed the scroll, and then put it aside. His hair was already pale without a trace of luster, and his face had age spots, and his eyes were faintly already a little old, but inside and outside were still clear.
"But ah, where is the teacher? I can't find you..."
"Your disciples found a child named Fang Yang, and then helped me build a folk museum in my hometown, Quanzhou. You once went there to find the place in person, just like the teacher said, there are flower trees there that are as thick as hugs."
"Time is coming, I will record the past here, hoping that I will not forget it."
It is not an autobiography, nor is it a diary, but also anchor points to remind myself not to forget the past.
