In the Hanlin Academy of the Great Zhou Dynasty, a young man was writing a book, 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 time and space.
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.
Beyond the Great Wall, in Yuanmeng, there are many sects including the Magician's 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 contains the vitality of heaven and earth. Masters of the human race can practice martial arts. Real masters of martial arts can defeat thousands of people with one horse and defeat thousands of armies.
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 Eight Wastelands and Four Realms.
Perhaps because it was a daily benefit for time travellers, Yang Qingyuan received a pair of Taoist pupils given by God, which allowed him to discern every detail. He himself has excellent physical skills and is very knowledgeable in martial arts. 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? And after that?
Cultivation of martial arts is just to seek 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. He became an editor at the Hanlin Academy and began a long five-year journey of studying books and accumulating funds to support his career.
Three years ago, Yang Qingyuan was promoted to a bachelor's degree at the Hanlin Academy due to his merit.
Emperor Gao, Taizu of the Great Zhou Dynasty, believed in Taoism very much. Now, in order to show his devotion to Taoism, he specially issued an order 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."
"Scholar 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 studying seemed like a waste of time, for Yang Qingyuan it was an opportunity to practice at public expense. In order to correct the fallacies and gather the teachings of the predecessors, the Hanlin Academy collected almost all the Taoist canons from all over the world.
As the editor-in-chief 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 hard to find.
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 remains 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 Tianfu 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 wish to speak of nature. Therefore, the wind does not end, and the rain does not end. Who is this? Heaven and earth. Therefore, all things bear yin and embrace yang, and the qi is in harmony."
A flash of light flashed through Yang Qingyuan's mind.
The wind moves when it is still, and still when it is automatic. When I was deducing it, I blindly pursued the power of the swordsmanship and the consistency of the moves, but forgot the fundamentals of wind.
The source of wind is the movement and stillness of Qi.
If Yang Qingyuan realized something, he stood up suddenly, replaced the sword with the pen in his hand, and evolved the sword moves.
The pen in the hand is neither fast nor slow, and has no sharp edge at all, but 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.
Extremely quiet, no trace of the sword's passing.
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, is here!
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 in the Great Zhou Dynasty all practiced martial arts to strengthen their bodies and wore swords to enlighten their minds. Practicing swordsmanship is an ordinary thing, but it is rare to see someone 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. I and other staff 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 unflattering!"
"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...
"Cough cough cough..." After coughing twice, he pretended to stretch his body, slowly returned to his seat, and continued the work of compiling Daozang.
The day when Tao Zang is completed is when Yang Qingyuan takes another step forward.
Whether it is martial arts or official position.
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 what he was doing, raised his head and said with a smile, "The compilation of "Tao Zang" has basically been completed, and I have begun to revise the errata. Naturally, I am more cautious and dare not slack off. Brother Li just returned from an inspection tour of the capital 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 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.
