please don't wear it

The novel "Taoism" was found by Yi Lianzhen on the novel website by accident.

That semester, he was taking Tai Chi, a compulsory physical education course. It happened that Xu Baisha, the protagonist of the novel, was also practicing Tai Chi at the beginning, so he jumped right in and finished the 30-character novel in one night.

The first 27 characters are read in sequence, and the last [-] characters are read in skips.

Because Yi Lian really didn't understand later.

At the beginning, the protagonist Xu Baisha was practicing Chinese martial arts with his friends, comparing each other. Although the things he practiced were from Taijiquan to other directions, they could still be regarded as traditional Chinese martial arts.

However, at the last 20 characters, the originally good plot suddenly became "mysterious" - after more than [-] years of hard training, Xu Baisha finally reached the extreme state of martial arts, ready to fulfill his long-cherished wish: to open the door of Taoism.

Now in Yi Lianzhen's recollection, the ending can be described as metaphysical, like a philosophy textbook that has not been studied for a long time.He knew every word in the sentence explaining the truth, but he couldn't understand it together.

Relying on the inertia of the previous reading, he read one sentence and skipped three sentences. In the end, he only remembered that the protagonist Xu Baisha did this, that, and that. He didn't know what he did, and he successfully opened the door after three checkpoints.

It is extremely difficult to explain the ending of the novel to Ren Wudao now.

"The 'Tao' here may not be the same as what you imagined. It is more like a restriction on this world than a predestined rule."

"You can understand it this way," Yi Lianzhen said while thinking, "the aura of this world is sealed by Taoism, so people can only practice martial arts. After Xu Baisha opened the Taoism, people who practice martial arts have the opportunity to cultivate immortality Martial arts have gone to the next level."

Ren Wudao nodded: "Then how to open the door?"

Yi Lianzhen: "..."

"Xu Baisha..." Yi Lian paused for a moment, and said bravely, "He entered a situation that cannot be described with profound and mysterious words, and then opened the Taoist door."

Ren Wudao was silent for a while: "Is there any more?"

Yi Lianzhen: "..."

He looked at Ren Wudao with sincere and sincere eyes, trying to make the other party understand that his poor brain knew nothing about it, suggesting that the other party find another way to find the answer.

After staring at each other for a while, Ren Wudao asked: "Is there any way to quickly know more about Taoism?"

Yi Lian was really relieved, Ren Wudao is really a good person.

"That's easy to say! You can just ask people around the street—anyone knows more than me."

Taoism is here, and it is well known to everyone!

This world is full of martial arts, three out of ten families will send their children to practice martial arts, and two of the remaining seven children will voluntarily go to various martial arts gyms to learn.

And these people who learn martial arts all have the same dream - to reach the extreme state of martial arts and open the door of Taoism.

Because of this, a random child on the street can say a word or two to the Taoist sect—and he knows a lot more than Yi Lian.

Along the way, the two found a tavern and an inn, and quickly inquired about the matter.

The next day, they even met several martial arts instructors, leading a group of students to practice on the street.

A few of them were lazy and slipped into the lobby of the inn they were in while the teacher was not paying attention.Under Ren Wudao's instructions, Yi Lian really quickly bribed one of them with food.

"You said the door?" The boy who sneaked away was about sixteen or seventeen years old, with short hair about an inch long, wearing a white training uniform for the martial arts gym, and holding a large piece of stewed beef that Xiaoer had just brought over. Say, "That hole? I know, we visit it every year!"

"Each time each instructor took turns trying to open the door, so far I haven't heard of anyone in the martial arts school succeeding."

Yi Lian raised her head and glanced at Ren Wudao who was in the blind spot of the young man's sight - the oppressive force of the other party is too strong, if the young man sees him, he will probably be frightened and continue to practice, and he will not be able to get the news easily .

"How did the seniors in your martial arts school tell you about it?" Yi Lianzhen asked casually, "We came from a far away place, and we heard that Taoism is just outside the city, so we are very interested in it."

"A foreign country?" The young man was chewing beef, and he was more interested in the word Yi Lianzhen, "Is it east, south, or north? Is it so far away that you don't even know the door?"

The novel "Daomen" is very short, and it is still a low-magic world. The world map is quite small, the area is only equivalent to a medium-sized province in China, surrounded by boundless seas on all sides.

"We are from the seaside," Yi Lianzhen took out the excuse he had prepared, "We usually fish at sea and rarely go ashore, so we don't know much about it."

"Oh, that's quite far away." The young man responded casually, looked up at Yi Lianzhen, and felt that the other party was not like a fisherman who was exposed to the sun every day, but he didn't pursue it further, "Is fishing so profitable? Treating guests So generous."

"It's quite profitable," Yi Lian really smiled, Ren Wudao's family is well off, much richer than a fisherman, he pointed at the table with his finger, "So Daoist..."

The boy waved his hand carelessly, and took another big ox bone: "I don't know."

Yi Lianzhen: "...Huh?"

"If my teachers knew and opened the door earlier, why would we still practice martial arts?" The young man ate his cheeks bulgingly, "It's so cold and twelfth lunar month that we have to get up early in the morning to practice, alas... look at your body, like Fishermen like you don’t understand the pain of practicing martial arts!”

Yi Lianzhen, pretending to be a fisherman: "...OK."

The result of their inquiring around the day before was almost the same. Everyone knew where the Daomen was, and it was a crucial step to break through the extreme realm of martial arts.

Yi Lian was not surprised by this result, he glanced outside, the martial arts students wearing white training clothes passed by the door of the inn again, this time a few people sneaked in to hide from laziness.

"Xu Baisha, the thug in your martial arts school," Yi Lianzhen asked, "How old is he now?"

"Xu Baisha?" The boy raised his eyes from the pile of meat, "What do you ask Big Brother Xu for?"

"He is a friend of a distant relative of mine. Fishing is not going well these days, so I want to join him." Yi Lianzhen has accepted the identity of a fisherman, and does not blink when talking about these things, "I know He belongs to your Wanyue Martial Arts School, so I didn't want to inquire about the news first."

It’s not without reason that he chose the young man in front of him to inquire about news—he, like the students training outside on the street, belongs to the Wanyue martial arts gym where the protagonist Xu Baisha is now.

"Brother Xu's exercises are different from ours, and he is not an instructor that we can see every day." The young man muttered, "I don't really understand, he is 31 now? It is said that he wants to be an instructor. But what he practices is hard qigong, and there are very few people who are willing to learn this, so there are no classes..."

Yi Lian nodded thoughtfully.

In "Taomen", Xu Baisha reached the extreme state of martial arts when he was about 38 years old, and there are still seven years left.

In other words, the current Xu Baisha is not strong enough to open the door.

"What about Chen Zhou?" He asked again, "Have you seen Chen Zhou?"

"Master Chen?" The young man's eyes lit up, "He is a Tai Chi master in Lincheng, I admire him—do you know him!"

"Uh, no," Yi Lian said hastily, "I just heard about it, just ask!"

Chen Zhou was one of the masters of Chinese martial arts who had fought against Xu Baisha.

The boy let out a disappointment, and continued to gnaw on the big beef bone.

Yi Lian really suspected that he got up late in the morning and didn't have time to eat to be so hungry.

After gnawing on the last bone, the boy wiped the oil on his hands with his practice clothes: "Hey, you are really nice, but unfortunately I have to go to practice again later, otherwise I will suffer if the instructor finds out."

"By the way, do you use nets to catch fish?" He asked enthusiastically, "I haven't seen the sea yet, what's it like?"

"The blue one is very big and vast," said Yi Lianzhen. "There are waves, and there will be tides due to the gravitational effect of the moon."

The boy asked in confusion, "Is the moon a moon? What is a tide?"

"..." Yi Lianzhen, "Forget it, just pretend I didn't say anything."

He was talking about the sea in his impression, the sea in this world might be different.

"Then what kind of fish do you catch? How do you catch it?" the boy asked, "Is it delicious?"

"Uh," Yi Lian really tilted his head, searched in his mind for a long time, and said with difficulty, "What kind of tuna, salmon, dragon fish, etc., you can catch a lot with a fishing net in a boat."

He said: "It's delicious, eat hot pot or sashimi..."

Someone tapped the table twice with their knuckles.

"What's the matter..." the boy turned his head while talking, and then his palms and back were suddenly covered with fine sweat, and his hair exploded one by one visible to the naked eye.

Ren Wudao stood behind him, his handsome face was full of indifference, and he was looking down at him condescendingly.

The young man took a deep breath and wanted to ask the other party where he came from, but he was a little scared and didn't ask.

"The martial arts team is here again," Ren Wudao said indifferently, "Those students are gone, why don't you go?"

The boy looked back, and sure enough, the training team passed by the door of the inn again.Under the double fear of Ren Wudao and the teacher's punishment, he slid the chair back heavily, made a creaking sound, got up and ran away without looking back.

Ren Wudao sighed.

"Are you really that scary in their eyes?" Yi Lian asked suspiciously, "Qin Ying was also quite afraid of you back then, why didn't I feel that?"

Ren Wudao slightly raised the corner of his mouth, but did not answer directly: "Seeing that you have worked so hard, come here to help you."

"That's it," Yi Lian really remembered the question just now, and held his head up and down, "I've finished asking him, but I don't know that he will ask me more - if you don't come, I will Might have to figure out how to cast a fishing net.”

Ren Wudao chuckled, sat down on the chair the boy had just placed, then glanced at the tableware left over from the boy's eating with distaste, and instructed the innkeeper to clean up the things with his chin.

Before Yi Lian had time to eat, he ordered a bowl of wontons and two steamed buns for himself: "This student also has short hair, that's great, there are a lot of people here with short hair for practicing martial arts, and I don't stand out at all."

Ren Wudao smiled silently, but the inn clerk at the side didn't even dare to breathe loudly, he finished his work neatly with his hands and feet, and after serving the dishes, he ran away without a shadow left.

Yi Lianzhen looked left and right, and the few students who came to dodge just now went out to continue training.It was still early, and there was no one else in the inn lobby except them.

If there are other people, I don't know if they will also hide and let no way go.

"Don't you want meat?" Ren Wudao suddenly asked at this moment.

The student just now ate a little less than a catty of beef, but Yi Lian's real order even had vegetarian buns.

"This shop has big bowls of beef ribs, I can't finish them..." Halfway through speaking, Yi Lian really saw the second half of the sentence that Ren Wudao was about to say, "No, I don't need you to help me eat. "

"It's good to have something light in the morning, and it's not like I didn't have a next meal. It's a big deal to pack some at noon and evening."

They have been in the wilderness for the past few days, and they have nothing to eat except dry food that is easy to carry.Now that I'm in the town, I can eat whatever I want, and I don't miss a meal or two.

It's a pity that Zhang Tianyin can't keep food fresh, otherwise he can eat a full banquet in the wild.

Ren Wudao accepted Yi Lianzhen's statement, changed the subject and asked: "According to what the student said just now, Xu Baisha is still far from meeting the conditions to open the door?"

"Well," Yi Lian really used a spoon to scoop up the wonton soup, letting it cool down quickly, "at least another seven years. At that time, Xu Baisha opened a martial arts gym by himself, and now he is still a martial arts fighter."

He continued: "In fact, we don't need to look for him at all. You must be better than Xu Baisha. At the end of the story, Xu Baisha has only reached the extreme level of martial arts. You have already broken through. It should not be difficult to open the door."

"What about the last step of the door?" Ren Wudao asked.

According to Yi Lianzhen, the first three levels of the Taoist gate are very simple, nothing more than using brute force to open the door and fight monsters.

But Yi Lian really couldn't explain the crucial last step, how exactly Xu Baisha opened the Taoist door.

Yi Lian's hands stopped moving: "This... I don't think it's very useful to find Xu Baisha, maybe it's not as good as you."

Ren Wudao hummed suspiciously.

"Xu Baisha..." Yi Lian looked at the little ravioli floating in the bowl, and tried to use euphemistic words, "He usually focuses on martial arts, has a very straightforward personality, and hasn't read much, and his thinking is relatively... ...simple and simple."

"He is better at solving problems with force than with brains."

"So it is." Ren Wudao understood.

Xu Baisha is a not-so-intelligent martial idiot.

"Yes," Yi Lian nodded vigorously, "It's more reliable for us to do it ourselves."

Maybe they don't even need to disturb the protagonist's life, they can solve the world's affairs by themselves.

The author has something to say:
