Chapter 1 The Travel of the Tathagata Palm
A certain parallel world.
Xie Yu, male, Chinese, zodiac unknown, has no car or house, lives alone, an orphan in his early thirties, currently working as a qualified technician in a factory in Haidao City.
What's funny is that a few days ago, Xie Yu actually caught a bad cold after accompanying his leader on the "eat and drink well" guide. In order not to infect others, Xie Yu had no choice but to be "asked for leave."
Anyway, since 2020, Xie Yu has felt that things are not going well for him. Just now, Xie Yu received a call from the factory leader again.
Under the coercion of the perverted leader, Xie Yu secretly cursed: "I'm a fool."
Xie Yu had no choice but to struggle, so she could only prepare to go to the factory first, feeling that poor people really couldn't afford to get sick.
Xie Yu took medicine in advance and put on more clothes, then reluctantly left the rental house and reluctantly went downstairs.
Just as he was walking towards the nearby bus stop, Xie Yu suddenly saw a person riding a bicycle, and a large bunch of gourds were tied to the bicycle.
Xie Yu took a few steps forward without caring, but suddenly stopped again.
Xie Yu thought of yesterday when he was browsing Douyin and saw a very handsome young man on Douyin who said, "The transfer gourd can take away bad luck and bring good luck."
Xie Yu, who was usually a materialistic young man, now began to speculate, "Isn't my recent market situation not very good?"
Thinking of doing it, Xie Yu immediately returned and happened to see the "young boss selling gourds" waiting for the traffic light.
Xie Yu quickly went up to him and asked, "Brother, how do you sell this gourd? Can it be cheap?"
The young boss glanced at Xie Yu, raised his eyebrows, and said: "Ten yuan each, choose whatever you want, no bargaining, take it or leave it."
Xie Yu was not happy with the young boss's attitude, but he still took out a ten-yuan note from his pocket and handed it to the young boss, ready to choose one for himself.
I hope I can "turn things around" like the guy on Douyin said, even though I'm not superstitious.
But before it was Xie Yu's turn to choose, the gourd seller casually handed one to Xie Yu, pushed the bicycle and ran away. It turned out that he had arrived at the traffic light.
Xie Yu opened his mouth, muttered a few times, and whispered: "What kind of boss is this? What about professional ethics? You should choose the gourd first and then give money."
Alas, Xie Yu regretted it again, and could only curse himself a few more times. He was always easy to trust others, and he had suffered losses many times because of this.
"Okay, I can only bear it." Xie Yu put the small gourd in his pocket and hurried to the bus stop. The leader seemed to have said it was quite serious, so don't delay.
Although it is not easy for anyone these days, "beating workers" has increasingly lost their "human rights", so this time Xie Yu probably agrees with deducting wages and not losing his job.
…
After wandering around for a long time, Xie Yu finally arrived at the factory. As soon as he arrived at the factory, he met an acquaintance named Da Li.
Xie Yu first said: "Li, have you eaten? Let's meet in the cafeteria tonight!"
When Da Li saw Xie Yu, his face was complicated and he said: "Brother Xie, go to the bulletin board and look at it. You will know after reading it. This is all what Manager Niu asked me to do. I..."
Xie Yu felt bad and stopped talking to Da Li, and quickly walked towards the bulletin board.
…
When I looked at the penalty note on the bulletin board, it read, "Employee of our company, Xie Yu is not serious... and disobeys..."
Xie Yu didn't pay attention to the rest, but he was stunned when he saw the word "dismissal". It was actually a punishment decision for himself. Because of his behavior, he was fired!
Expelled?
Oh my God! Earth! What's going on? Why don't you just take a day off if you're sick? It’s not like I’ll be fired!
Xie Yu couldn't stand it and didn't dare to delve deeper. He just felt that his mind was "buzzing" and he immediately rushed to Manager Niu's office.
He wanted to find Manager Niu, who brought him into the factory, regarded him as a confidant, and asked him to call him "good brother" to inquire about the situation...
It didn't take long for Xie Yu to leave sadly. It was Manager Niu who made a mistake. If Manager Niu wanted to keep his current position, he still had a large family to support. In order not to affect his own life, he had to find someone to take the blame.
Manager Niu believes: "Xie Yu, who was born as an orphan, has no power, is not good at words, has a weak character and can be bullied. He regards himself as a benefactor and never dares to go against his own words. Xie Yu is undoubtedly a good candidate."
Xie Yu admitted that he is a person with a somewhat weak character and a "kind heart", which is partly due to his "helplessness" and "disguise".
But after being in the society for so long, Xie Yu knew a few things. He also knew that now he was packing up his things so that everyone could get together and disperse. If there was any trouble, nothing would happen. But both sides would suffer, and maybe he would be even worse off.
But Xie Yu still felt a little sad. She was "sacrificed" again, but fortunately, Manager Niu, "Brother Niu," gave her 20,000 yuan in hush money, which was somewhat of a consolation.
Because he had worked in this factory for several years and had some personal belongings, Xie Yu had a rare luxury. He hailed a taxi that he would usually be reluctant to part with and transported himself and his miscellaneous things back to the rental house.
…
"I'm just so unwilling!"
Xie Yu, who was lying on the bed after returning home, murmured to himself.
Xie Yu touched the bulging pocket out of habit, took it out and thought it was the small gourd he bought for ten yuan in the morning.
“I originally thought about transferring my job, but who knew I actually transferred my job away.”
It was enough. He squeezed the gourd with his angry right hand.
Suddenly Xie Yu shouted: "It hurts so much" and then passed out on the bed.
But Xie Yu didn't know that the "little gourd" he held tightly in his right hand began to slowly fade, and soon turned into a small gourd-like mark, imprinted on the palm of his hand.
…
The sky is bright and we are in a popular inn.
Xie Yu was at the door of the guest room, seeing off Duan Fei and Tu Xuehua who came to visit him again.
After the two "saviors" had gone a little further, Xie Yu hesitated for a few moments before returning to the room.
Then Xie Yu looked hard at the "gourd mark" on the palm of his right hand. Although Xie Yu's face was expressionless at this time, he was depressed and didn't know who to talk to.
Xie Yu still hasn't figured out what happened. He just returned to the rental house because he was fired from the factory, thinking that "drinking costs money, and smoking costs money."
Xie Yu just wanted to tuck herself into bed and "sleep away a thousand worries", but she didn't expect to be pricked by the transport gourd she bought.
Then, Xie Yu should have experienced the legendary "time travel" or "rebirth".
We have arrived at this ancient feudal society where everyone wears ancient costumes, speaks in eloquent words, and men and women also grow their hair long.
Fortunately, the person Xie Yu is now possessing is also named Xie Yu. Except that he also has long hair, his appearance and body shape are similar.
This sense of familiarity gave Xie Yu some comfort. After all, most people's reaction to "what do you want to travel through" should be "Ye Gong loves dragons"!
Fortunately, the most important thing is that the current Xie Yu retains the memory of "his body", which invisibly saves the current Xie Yu a lot of trouble.
Xie Yu knew from "his" human memory that the current Xie Yu seemed to have "traveled into the terrifying feudal society of ancient times."
The current imperial court is called Daqian. Although Xie Yu himself has not graduated from junior high school, from the historical knowledge he knows, this dynasty does not seem to exist.
However, the life experience of Xie Yu in this "memory" is also quite bizarre. When he was nineteen years old, his family background was still good.
My father was originally an official of a prince in the imperial court. Later, the prince seemed to be framed by another prince for rebellion, and he was executed by decree of the then emperor.
"Xie Yu"'s own family was also implicated and killed because of this incident. He happened to be out on a study tour at the time and barely escaped with his life. Later, with the help of his father's former friend, he hid in the Shaolin Temple for two years.
In the past two years in the Shaolin Temple, although I often exercised my strength and recited Buddhist scriptures in the evening and morning, I still often simulated the scene of my parents and little sister being killed. My anger increased greatly, I wanted revenge, and I even wanted to secretly learn the advanced martial arts of the Shaolin Temple. .
But at this moment, a new emperor suddenly came to the throne. This new emperor had a good relationship with the prince who served Xie Yu's father. With the advice of some "careful people", Xie Yu's family was rehabilitated by the current court and returned to the throne. By setting up a sacrifice ceremony, Xie Yu, the original person, could be regarded as having his great revenge avenged.
Then, under the new emperor's liquidation, the original Xie Yu's enemy was dead, and the new emperor actually got some more titles at the request of the former friend of Xie Yu's father.
Now the original Xie Yu was confused. After returning home, he first served as a filial piety for his parents for three years. Then, relying on his reading of several medical books, he became a wandering doctor and wandered around the world in order to find the meaning of "his" existence. .
By the way, talking about martial arts, this is really a magical existence. When Xie Yuji was in junior high school, he was always bullied because of his status as an orphan. Later, when he was young and passionate, Xie Yu finally couldn't bear it anymore and started fighting with him.
He couldn't hold back after this fight, and later he got into a group fight with students from a martial arts school. Of course, he was expelled from the school because of this and had to work all over the world.
But at that time, Xie Yu didn't realize how powerful those martial arts students were, and he even knocked down several of them with bricks.
Later, Xie Yu learned that in today's country, "martial arts" is just a kind of sport, similar to aerobics and gymnastics, and is mainly used for physical exercise and performance.
But martial arts in this world seem to be different. It seems that with martial arts, people can jump very high, run very fast, and kill people from a long distance. This is what Xie Yu has seen with his own eyes in his "own" memory.
Xie Yu suddenly became curious in his heart. He remembered that "he" had learned some "martial arts" in the Shaolin Temple, such as the breathing and fisting of "martial arts". Now he often practices them to strengthen his body.
Thinking of this, Xie Yu quickly tried it in the room. He took a four-level stride in his memory and adjusted it several times. Because of "muscle memory" or something, it went smoothly.
But just for a while, Xie Yu felt a little dizzy, maybe because he had been soaked in the water for a long time.
Xie Yu sat back on the bed and tried a breathing technique taught in the Shaolin Temple in his memory. Because the body has habit memory, it went very smoothly. After breathing for a period of time, he felt that his mental and physical state had recovered a lot, but he was hungry.
Then Xie Yu began to complain in his heart again, this damn stupid thief "doesn't respect martial ethics".
In my memory, generally no one robs doctors who travel in the world. After all, no one knows what disease someone will get. Therefore, Xie Yu "self" has been walking in the world for many years without encountering too much trouble.
But this time, I encountered three, or no, four thieves who actually robbed "me", but thinking that a good man would not suffer the immediate loss, "he" endured it, thinking of losing money and avoiding disaster.
Just as promised, I gave them some money, but "Xie Yu" felt a gust of wind pass by my back. Just as I was about to dodge, I felt pain in the back of my neck, and "I" didn't know anything at all.
Then at this time, Xie Yu came to this world and woke up because of the transshipment gourd, which is now the "gourd mark".
But he found himself floating on the water. Although he didn't quite understand his situation, his survival instinct immediately led Xie Yu to use the dog-pawing technique of water escape that he had learned in a small river ditch when he was a child.
This is also thanks to Xie Yu's own blessings over the years, especially the large abdominal muscles on his belly, which allowed him to float on the water and barely save his life.
Then Xie Yu suddenly saw two figures on the river bank. Regardless of the situation, he quickly shouted for help.
In the middle, Xie Yu choked on water because he was anxious to shout a few more times. Later, he finally couldn't hold it up again and didn't know anything anymore.
The rest is that after Xie Yu was rescued by these two people, Xie Yu woke up in the inn after digesting "his" memory.
Although Xie Yu was confused about his situation, he still thanked his two saviors, Duan Fei and Tu Xuehua.
Hungry, Xie Yu persisted until meal time. After all, he was now clean and penniless. He probably had to rely on those two saviors for food and accommodation.
It was almost time for dinner, and Duan Fei and Tu Xuehua quickly went downstairs.
Duan Fei was the more "smart" one, so Duan Fei took the initiative to "knock" on Xie Yu's door and invite Xie Yu downstairs for dinner. Xie Yu then breathed a sigh of relief with some embarrassment.
