Chen Yang looked a little idle and bored. He took out the Old Can's Notes on Cultivation of Immortality and waved it in his hand, as if he was showing it to the general.
Isn't he just bored?
The general Wang remained silent, as if expressing his master's playful protest with silence.
Chen Yang laughed dumbly, stretched out his hand to fumble with the broken book, suppressed his smile, and opened the book solemnly.
At the same time, the Great General Wang standing behind him stretched out his fangs, filled his body with evil energy, and let out a silent roar.
This low roar cannot be heard by human ears. The zombies who have long been lurking in the mass graves roared in response to their king.
At this time, if an outer disciple of the Yin Demon Sect comes to practice in the Mass Grave, he may not see anything on the surface, but somewhere he doesn't know, there will be dozens of zombies staring at him from all directions.
Looking at him...
Chen Yang couldn't care less about this. After turning over just two or three pages, he was immersed in the story written in the book.
In the beginning, it was just a story, Lao Can’s Journey to Immortality, and it turned out to be the journey of seeking immortality recorded by a man who called himself Lao Can...
...
Lao Can came from a scholarly family, and his family had a lot of fertile land. However, as a young man, he failed in his studies and failed in business. He lost a lot of money at home, but it did not prevent him from living a leisurely life with people taking care of him based on the fertile land.
Marry a good wife and give birth to children. In a blink of an eye, you will reach middle age, have children around your knees, and have wives and concubines to take care of you. It can be called complete happiness.
The accident happened when he was in middle age.
A great epidemic swept through the county where Lao Can lived.
Ninety-nine percent of the people in the city died in just a few months.
Among them were the old cripple's wives, concubines, children, and in a blink of an eye, they were all alone.
Tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land, bones are exposed everywhere, abandoned everywhere.
What’s the use of having fields when the people who work on them are gone?
The old man was also infected with the current epidemic, but he just carried it through. Feeling the desolation of the great changes in his life, he was despairing of all thoughts and wanted to die, but he accidentally opened the book about seeking immortality and Taoism that he bought when he was a boy.
When I was young, my dream of becoming an immortal resurfaced from my dusty memory.
Lao Can then gave up everything and started on the long road to seek immortality with his remaining money...
When Chen Yang saw the back, his eyes widened little by little. In a daze, he forgot that he was studying on a mass grave. Instead, he felt that he was the old scholar, carrying his luggage alone and embarking on the road to seek immortality...
...
Lao Can’s first stop was a place rumored to be in the countryside. According to legend, woodcutters met gods there. Some people went there to seek immortality, and then never returned. It was said in the countryside that they were taken in by the gods.
, began to practice immortality and seek immortality.
When they arrived at the place, Lao Can didn't see any immortals, only a group of strong men.
He was taken away decisively and without the ability to resist, and because of his education, he was forced to become a bookkeeper.
It turned out that the people who Lao Can had heard about who had succeeded in seeking immortality were all captured by bandits and pawned as meat tickets. After extorting money, they were killed and thrown into the back mountain pass without even burying their bones.
As for the legends about woodcutters meeting immortals, they were spread because the bandits gave them small favors, such as not harming their villages.
Lao Can has lived a peaceful life, but he never imagined that there would be such a cunning bandit in the world, who would actually spread the news about the presence of immortals and attract rich children from well-fed families to seek immortality.
Lao Can's career as a tent keeper lasted for several months, and then the bandits were attacked by another group of gangsters. Lao Can escaped and was injured. He was about to die, but was saved by a passing monk.
A monk is a practitioner and has supernatural powers.
The old man paid his respects and bowed. Since his wife was dead, he had nothing to worry about. It was fine to be a monk, as long as he could embark on the path of spiritual practice.
The monk gave him a test and accepted it.
After Lao Can entered the temple, he found that the monk had dozens of disciples, and he taught a scripture called the Maharaja Sutra, which is said to lead directly to the end of the road.
Lao Can is different from other disciples accepted by the monk. After all, he is a scholar who has read books. Even if he reads the classics on cultivating immortals, he still understands them according to the imperial examination scriptures.
The deeper he understood, the more he felt something was wrong. He always felt that it was not the quiet and peaceful Buddhism he imagined, but rather...
