Finally reaching the peak of Mount Huang, Kong Yuan heaved a sigh of relief. He couldn't help but recall the encounter with a wandering Taoist priest six years ago. At that time, Kong Yuan had just graduated from graduate school. As he majored in history, it was difficult to find a job, so he applied to be a tour guide in a tourism company. Because Kong Yuan's history was very good, he knew the historical sources of most of the scenic spots in China like a book. He was very popular with tourists. Some people specially requested to join Kong Yuan's tour group, so Kong Yuan's monthly income was quite good.
However, Kong Yuan once met a wandering Taoist priest when he was traveling to Mount Huang. The Taoist priest had been following Kong Yuan ever since he saw him. Kong Yuan found it strange and asked the Taoist priest what he wanted. The Taoist priest said to Kong Yuan,"This Penniless Priest only saw that you have a life of embarrassment that you will not encounter in a thousand years, so I specially came to inform you, because people with such a life will definitely not live to 30 years old.”
Kong Yuan didn't believe in fate, but in these 24 years, some strange things had happened that Kong Yuan couldn't figure out. Ever since he was young, Kong Yuan had always seen strange things on the walls or in the water. There were portraits of ancient people and armor worn by ancient soldiers.
When Kong Yuan was working as a tour guide, he suddenly discovered some ancient ruins in a certain place. He hurriedly called his tour group to come and take a look, but no one could see anything. After many times, many people knew that the Pegasus Travel Company had a neurotic tour guide. Kong Yuan also received many complaints because of this, which made the company's boss very unhappy. If it wasn't for Kong Yuan's good knowledge of history and his wonderful explanation of each scenic spot, he would have fired him long ago.
Hearing the old Daoist's words, Kong Yuan vaguely felt that he was right, so he said,""May I ask, Taoist priest, what is a life of embarrassment?”The old Daoist smiled." Almsgiver, you shouldn't have belonged to this era. However, you were mistakenly reincarnated into this era. As a result, the various functions of your body can't adapt to the environment. You will definitely die early. That's why you look so embarrassed."”
" I've never been seriously ill since I was young," Kong Yuan said suspiciously." My body has always been the best among my classmates. How can you say that my body is not good?"”The old Daoist stroked his beard." That's just a superficial phenomenon. I wonder if you often have a heartbeat that varies by more than a hundred times a day?"”
Upon hearing this, Kong Yuan broke out in cold sweat. He no longer doubted the old Daoist's words. Just as the old monk said, Kong Yuan's heartbeat was very unstable. The fastest was 200 beats per minute, and the slowest was 40 beats per minute. He had been to many hospitals, but the results of the tests were all normal. Kong Yuan was puzzled, but because there had never been any problems, he did not take it to heart.
Today, when he suddenly heard the old Daoist talk about a secret that only he knew, Kong Yuan had no choice but to believe this sage-like old Daoist in front of him. He hurriedly grabbed the old Daoist's hand and said,"Please guide me on the lost scriptures." The old Daoist looked at the expectant Kong Yuan and said,""Fate cannot be defied. Almsgiver is destined to die at the age of thirty. Moreover, the fate of being embarrassed is determined by the heavens. In the past two thousand years, only two people have been embarrassed. One is you, and the other is Huo Qubing during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han.”
Kong Yuan, who was familiar with history, knew that Huo Qubing had died at the age of 28. At that time, he was in his prime. Kong Yuan felt as if he had been hit in the head by a stick. He immediately wilted and his eyes glazed over. The hand that he was holding onto the old Taoist priest slowly dropped. He could only live to be 30 years old. In other words, in another six years, Kong Yuan would have to dig three feet into the ground to find the King of Hell to play chess. Moreover, the King of Hell was very good at chess. No one could stand such news.
The old Daoist looked at Kong Yuan and couldn't bear to see him like this. He said,""Alright, since I met you, it's also a kind of fate. I'll reveal a little of the heavenly secrets and tell you the way to rebirth.”Kong Yuan was overjoyed and quickly knelt down to kowtow to the old Daoist. He kept saying,"Thank you, Taoist priest, thank you, Taoist priest!"
When the tourists saw that their tour guide was talking alone, they became anxious and dumbfounded. Then, they suddenly knelt down and kowtowed to the air like pounding rice grains. They even muttered something and ignored him. Everyone knew that this crazy tour guide from the Pegasus Travel Company was acting crazy again.
The old Daoist stretched out his hand and helped Kong Yuan up." Six years later, on the ninth day of the ninth month, I will be waiting for you at the peak of Yellow Mountain. At that time, I will naturally teach you the method of rebirth. However, you must not tell anyone about this. Otherwise, once the secrets of heaven are leaked, even the Daluo Immortal will not be able to save you." Back then, Huo Qubing had told this news to his uncle Wei Qing, but he was punished by the heavens. This old Daoist had also lost five hundred years of cultivation because of this. I hope that Almsgiver will remember this.”
Kong Yuan hurriedly agreed. Kong Yuan's parents had passed away since he was young, and he didn't have any siblings. Who could he tell? Even if he did, no one would believe him, because everyone knew that Kong Yuan was a bit crazy. Moreover, if the tourists knew about Kong Yuan's actions today, he would probably become even more infamous.
Thinking of this, Kong Yuan gathered his thoughts and looked ahead. He found the old Daoist sitting on a huge rock on the peak of the mountain. Kong Yuan hurriedly walked over and bowed to the old Daoist. The old Daoist slowly opened his tightly shut eyes and said to Kong Yuan, who was kneeling below,""Benefactor, please rise. This huge rock under this old Daoist is Benefactor's Door of Rebirth.”
After saying that, the old Daoist waved the horsetail whisk in his hand downward. A miracle happened. The huge rock suddenly turned into a door. Above the door were three big words: Reincarnation Dao. Seeing these three words, Kong Yuan couldn't help but think of some horror movies he had seen on TV before, and his heart couldn't help but shudder.
Suddenly, the door opened and a gust of cold wind blew in. Kong Yuan couldn't help but take a step back. Seeing this, the old Daoist said,""Don't be afraid, benefactor. If you want to be reborn, you must enter this door.”Kong Yuan looked at the old Daoist and gritted his teeth before stepping into the Reincarnation Doctrine. After entering, he saw a wall with a poem written on it. There was reincarnation in the Reincarnation Doctrine, and the King of Hell did not close his door. The past, the future, and the present, freely follow you.
There was an entrance on each side of the wall. On the left side was the word " Lun ", and on the right side was the word " Hui ". Kong Yuan was dumbfounded and didn't know which way to go. At this moment, the old priest's voice sounded from behind him.""The Wheel Gate is the gate to the future, and the Return Gate is the gate to the past. Patron, you can choose. Benefactor, you only have four hours. If you can't enter one of the two doors after four hours, your heart will rupture and you will die. Please consider which door you want to enter.”
"If I enter the Hui Gate, which dynasty can I reach?" Kong Yuan asked.”The old Daoist smiled faintly, as if he had guessed Kong Yuan's thoughts."Almsgiver, if you want to enter the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it's not impossible. However, you have to grasp the time when you go out.”
"Then how long will it take to leave?" Kong Yuan asked.”The old Daoist counted with his fingers." Entering the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, you need to leave the house after six hours.”Kong Yuan thought," Six hours. Isn't that just six hours? I'm wearing a watch. I just need to leave after six hours."”Kong Yuan felt relieved.
The old Daoist's voice rang out." Benefactor, after you enter, all your clothes will float. Benefactor, you must not have the thought of relying on the watch. Whether your wish can be fulfilled depends on yourself. I will leave now."”When Kong Yuan turned his head to look again, he found that the old Daoist had already disappeared.
After calming himself down, Kong Yuan walked back to the door. After entering, Kong Yuan's clothes were as the old Daoist had said. They were all floating and sinking, and Kong Yuan was naked. The situation in front of him shocked Kong Yuan even more. This was similar to the time tunnel in sci-fi movies. It was a long tunnel with a green whirlwind in the middle. The difference was that there were many small doors on both sides of the tunnel, just enough for one person to enter and exit.
Each door had words written on it. It should be the dynasty and time after they left, but Kong Yuan had never seen such words before and could not recognize any of them. Helplessly, Kong Yuan could only walk forward. As soon as he took a step, his body was wrapped up by the whirlwind and automatically moved forward. Kong Yuan closed his eyes to rest. He remembered that it would take six hours. As long as he estimated the time, he would open the small door beside him.
