In the Hanlin Academy of the Great Zhou Dynasty, a young man was writing in advance, and the table was full of rare ancient Taoist scrolls.
Yang Qingyuan, who originally graduated with a master's degree from the Southeast and Northwest University of Economics and Law, became a grassroots prosecutor. When he came home from get off work and planned to study Ma Zhe and Deng Lun, something that was not in line with materialist values happened.
In scientific terms, a singularity point was created where Yang Qingyuan was, which then expanded into a wormhole, and he happened to be involved in the turbulence of space and time.
In metaphysical terms, he has traveled through time.
When Yang Qingyuan woke up, he arrived at the Zhenwu Palace in Wudang Mountain and turned into a young man.
By chance, Yang Qingyuan joined the Wudang Clan.
This is a magically modified version of the world.
Outside the Great Wall, there are numerous sects of Yuan Meng, Magician Palace, Tantric Sect, and Vajra Sect.
In the martial arts world of the Central Plains, various sects emerge in endlessly.
This world is similar but different from Blue Star. Apart from others, its vast territory alone is far superior to Blue Star in its previous life.
This world has the vitality of heaven and earth. Human masters can practice martial arts. Real martial arts masters can ride a thousand horses and conquer an army with ten thousand soldiers.
In addition, there are master craftsmen who are proficient in the art of inscriptions and mechanisms. Both Buddhism and Taoism have secret techniques passed down from generation to generation. Outside of China, there are also magical hidden worlds in the four realms of the Eight Wildernesses.
Perhaps because of the daily benefits of being a time traveler, Yang Qingyuan received a pair of Taoist pupils given by God, which allows him to discern every detail. He himself has excellent bones and is very knowledgeable in martial arts, and his martial arts progress is rapid.
But after three years of practicing martial arts on Wudang Mountain, Yang Qingyuan felt confused about his future. Learn martial arts? Then what? Keep getting stronger? What happens after that?
Cultivation of martial arts is just about seeking the Dharma, not the Tao.
Since he came to this world, Yang Qingyuan always wanted to do something.
So he left Wudang and took part in the imperial examination that year with a letter of recommendation from Zhang Sanfeng, the master of the Zhou Dynasty.
I don’t know if it was because of Zhang Sanfeng’s letter of recommendation that Yang Qingyuan ranked second on the imperial list in the first exam. He became an editor in the Hanlin Academy and began a long road of studying books for five years to save money and support his career.
Three years ago, Yang Qingyuan was promoted to a bachelor's degree at the Hanlin Academy due to his meritorious service.
Emperor Gao, Taizu of the Great Zhou Dynasty, was a great believer in Taoism. Now, in order to show his devotion to Taoism, he specially issued an edict to rebuild Taoism.
Because Yang Qingyuan was born in a Taoist sect, he was specially assigned to take charge of the compilation of the new "Tao Zang".
Therefore, in order to find a job, top students in law naturally transformed into top students in metaphysics.
"Scholar Yang, this is the only copy I just borrowed from Tianyi Pavilion."
"Xueshi Yang, this is an ancient scripture borrowed from the Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain!"
One after another rare Taoist scrolls were borrowed by the scribes of the Hanlin Academy and sent to Yang Qingyuan's desk.
In three years, the compilation of "Tao Zang" is coming to an end, and Yang Qingyuan's desk is filled with various ancient Taoist scrolls.
Although three years of revising books seemed like a waste of time, it was an opportunity for Yang Qingyuan to practice at public expense. In order to correct mistakes and gather the wisdom of his predecessors, the Hanlin Academy collected almost all Taoist canons from all over the world this time.
As the chief editor of "Tao Zang", Yang Qingyuan has extensive knowledge of Taoist scriptures all over the world.
Most of Yang Qingyuan's martial arts came from the true martial arts lineage of the Taoist sect. Although he was able to master it quickly with the help of Tao Tongxiang, he may not fully understand the essence of it.
Martial arts is easy to practice, but Taoism is difficult to achieve.
With the help of three years of compiling Tao Zang, Yang Qingyuan's understanding of Tao has gone further.
Wudang's Liangyi Sword, Yin Yang Wuji, and Taoism's innate magical skills have all been greatly improved.
Not only that, five years ago, when Yang Qingyuan first entered the Hanlin Academy, he saw the fragments of a Taoist magic sword in Zhige Pavilion. It was centered on the wind, changing reality and reality, formless and traceless.
Yang Qingyuan tried to deduce the complete sword technique by relying on his own understanding and Tianfeng Daotong, but he could only deduce the first nine moves, and the subsequent sword techniques were always elusive.
The road to precipitation may seem useless, but it is actually of great use.
Three years of book cultivation allowed Yang Qingyuan to see the way forward clearly, and he deduced from the ninth move to the eleventh move.
"I hope to speak of nature. Therefore, the wind will not end, and the rain will not end. Who is this? Heaven and earth. Therefore, all things bear the yin and embrace the yang, and the qi is thought to be in harmony."
A flash of light flashed through Yang Qingyuan's mind.
Wind moves when it is still, and still when it is automatic. When I deduce it by myself, I blindly pursue the power of swordsmanship and the consistency of moves, but forget the fundamentals of wind.
The source of wind is the movement and stillness of air.
If Yang Qingyuan realized something, he suddenly stood up, replaced the sword with the pen in his hand, and evolved sword moves.
The pen in my hand is neither fast nor slow, and has no sharp edge at all, only the word "bland".
The twelfth posture leaves no trace when the wind passes by. It is difficult to find traces when the breeze blows.
In the thirteenth position, the tree calmed and the wind stopped, and the sword intent on the wolf hair disappeared, like a person without martial arts stabbing forward.
The sword was neither fast nor slow, and not a drop of ink spattered from the wolf's hair.
It moves extremely quietly, and the sword passes without leaving a trace.
Although it seemed like a clumsy and unskilled sword move, Yang Qingyuan had a smile on his face.
The first sword technique of ancient martial arts and Xuanmen, the Thirteen Swords of Qingfeng, has been completed!
Slowly withdrawing the wolf hair in his hand, Yang Qingyuan found that he was already more than ten feet away from the desk, and his two editors looked at him in confusion.
Confucian scholars of the Great Zhou Dynasty all practiced martial arts to strengthen their bodies and wore swords to clarify their minds. Practicing swordsmanship is a common thing, but it is rare to see people like Yang Qingyuan who suddenly stood up and made two moves in the middle of writing.
""Tao Zang" is about to be written. I didn't expect Master Yang to be under such great pressure. My staff and I still need to share more of Master Yang's worries!"
"What Brother Zhao said is absolutely true. I will examine the first three volumes carefully today."
"But I heard that Mr. Yang was born in Wudang, but his swordsmanship is really hard to compliment!"
"It's hard to describe in words..."
The two new editors of the Hanlin Academy looked at their Shangguan's strange movements and whispered.
Yang Qingyuan also felt his embarrassing situation.
Fortunately, I am about to finish studying "Tao Zang", and I will probably be transferred from the Hanlin Academy soon, otherwise...
"Ahem, cough..." After coughing twice, he pretended to stretch his body, then slowly returned to his seat, and continued the work of compiling Dao Zang.
The day when Tao Zang was completed was when Yang Qingyuan took another step forward.
Whether it's martial arts or official status.
Just as Yang Qingyuan was immersed in compiling books as usual, a handsome young man wearing a white robe stepped into the hall.
“Qingyuan is so diligent!”
Yang Qingyuan put down his hand, raised his head and said with a smile, "The compilation of "Tao Zang" has basically been completed, and I have begun to revise and correct it. Naturally, I am more cautious and dare not slack off. Brother Li just returned from his inspection of Gyeonggi recently. Why didn't he drink and sing with each other? Instead?
Come to my Hanlin Academy, which is full of literature and ink? This is not like you!"
The person who came here was Yang Qingyuan's classmate and friend. Five years ago, Yang Qingyuan came in second place in the imperial examination, and he was the top pick.
This Li Tanhua has been depressed for a long time because of this matter. His father and brother were both ranked No. 1 in the rankings. They originally hoped that he would get the top prize in the examination, but he did not expect that he would still be ranked No. 3.
