The author of the book "The Book of the Dead"

Chapter 209: The Sea of Bitterness, the Modern World

On earth, Liang Yue shed his clear light, then immediately controlled the cloud car to fly into the sea.

Under the Bodhi tree, Liang Yue took out the Nine-Curved Yellow Dragon and the Ten Thousand Year Old Mysterious Ice Jade Box.

In this life, one must refine the power of the Earth God and master the ability to control the earth veins.

The second step is to pick the golden elixir.

"The current golden elixir is at the seventh level. If we take the golden elixir and store it in advance, can we absorb it again in the next life?"

It should be relatively easy to make the original soup into the original food.
The thirty-fifth year of the Yongli reign (1676).

Deep under the sea, in the cloud car.

Under the Bodhi tree, a corrupt body began to revive. Flesh and blood grew, hair grew longer, and it gradually turned into a handsome young man.

There is a sun and moon pattern on the young man’s forehead, and mysterious moonlight is shining all over his body, and the cave is full of vitality.

Wow!
"The sixth generation of thunder tribulation ghost immortal - the first level of bitter sea tribulation."

Liang Yue stood up suddenly and sensed his own situation.

Just as he was about to take a step, he suddenly stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

My knees hurt and my body was weak.

This is the sea of physical suffering. When mortals are born into this world, they are essentially suffering torture.

The joints, blood vessels, and internal organs of the body are in great pain all the time. The reason why ordinary people cannot feel it is because the substances secreted by the body have a masking effect.

Without these substances, living in this world would be no different from being tortured.

Even if the physical body is fine, the external environment will affect it, causing disease, cold and heat, and aging.

In this life, the pain of the physical body will be fully displayed.

Liang Yue sat cross-legged, feeling the blood flowing through his blood vessels, the ubiquitous pain and itchiness it brought, as well as the severe pain when his internal organs moved, and the soreness from the friction of his joints.

The furnace of earth is like purgatory.

At this moment, Liang Yue actually hoped to abandon his mortal body and let his soul ascend to heaven.

"Perhaps the ancient corpse-reincarnation immortals saw the true nature of the flesh and had no choice but to develop the way of corpse-reincarnation immortals."

The cultivation of the physical body requires one to take it step by step, be down-to-earth, and endure things that ordinary people cannot endure.

Liang Yue calmed down a little, took a pill, relieved the pain, and refined a bit of internal strength.

The internal force is transformed into true energy through the jade silkworm.

He took out the golden elixir again and refined it with his true qi.

Golden light filled the entire cave world, and Liang Yue slowly refined the golden elixir.

I don’t know how many years have passed, golden light illuminates the purple palace, and a round pill is born in the dantian.

"Golden Core 3rd Transformation, not bad."

Liang Yue breathed a sigh of relief.

The seven-turn golden elixir from the previous life turned into the three-turn golden elixir in this life, which is pretty good.

Liang Yue did not fall asleep immediately, but instead sensed the changes brought about by the Sea of Bitterness.

The physical pain became more and more intense, a pain I had never felt before.

"Cultivating immortals is not just about being free and easy."

Whoosh!
Liang Yuefei entered Penglai.

He transformed himself into a sloppy Taoist priest, traveled through the mortal world, and tried to coexist with the sea of suffering.

"Come and have a look. We have authentic Jiankang daughter red wine, Songzhou kangaroo meat, Nanhai fresh produce, Western wine... Sihai Trading Company has everything."

The world has changed dramatically. The roads are flat and paved with cement. Most of the houses have been replaced with solid brick and stone structures. Some people ride old bicycles through the streets.

Productivity is changing, the only thing that remains unchanged is the poor. There are still beggars on the streets and slums where the poor gather.

The workshop not far away was emitting black smoke and sewage.

As productivity develops, people seem to be working harder and there are more disabled people on the streets.

Liang Yue wandered around aimlessly.

Along the way, I encountered malice, kindness, and neglect.

There are all kinds of things in the world.

He suddenly stopped in a corner, seemingly thinking about something.

After a long time, he opened his palm, and a deep blue light illuminated the alley. A round gray-green translucent bead was suspended in his palm, with a diameter of about three feet.

This thing is invisible and intangible, and is very similar to the aura of the soul.

Liang Yue conjured up the Shoushan Sword and threw the bead into the sword.

Buzz….

The sword body stimulates three inches of sword energy.

"idea……"

This thing is called thought, and it is the power of the ghost immortals in this life.

The essence of thoughts evolves into external objects.

This thought can replace the soul and spirit, store spells, and can even be used for attack and defense.

When you understand your mind and see your nature, there is nothing outside of your mind, and then you will have thoughts.

"I see."

The mind has incredible powers that transcend the material universe.

Perhaps if one practices the Taiyi Guardian Method to the end, one may be able to create all things with one thought.

Perhaps, this is the way to great perfection.

Liang Yue has realized his true feelings and is ready to return home and sleep over the body.

In this life, one can only transform into a corpse when he is 250 years old. The only way to solve the problem of longevity is to utilize the ability of the Tubo Earth Vein to sleep.

As he walked out of the alley, someone called him from the front.

"Brother, this is for you..."

Liang Yue turned around and looked at the person who came with a burning gaze.

The man was neatly dressed and thin, looking like a scholar. He was limping and holding food wrapped in oil paper in his hand.

Judging from the washed-out clothes and the dense patches on them, this person's family conditions are average.

"Here, here you go."

Liang Yue did not take it, but shouted: "You are also a disabled person, do you think that disabled people are useless and can only survive by receiving charity?"

The young man was a little flustered, and quickly waved his hands and said, "That's not the case, I just..."

"You just feel sorry for me?"

The young man was a little overwhelmed, and he realized that perhaps his behavior was wrong.

Liang Yue softened his tone and said, "It is not a shame to be born in a humble family. A disabled person can still be a man. A disabled person can also help the world. I hope you remember this!"

This was like a wake-up call to Liang Xuan. He bowed and said, "Thank you for your guidance, brother." When he looked up, the man had disappeared.

Liang Xuan kept repeating these words, and benefited greatly from them in the years to come.

After returning, Liang Xuan studied hard day and night, while practicing the skills passed down by his ancestors.

Perhaps because my thoughts were clear, I finally got started with the unique skills that I had been unable to master for a long time today.

What Liang Xuan didn't know was that when he was showing kindness, a thought brought the moonlight from the Jade Pool into his body, nourishing his flesh.

Although it cannot repair the damaged blood vessels in the congenital meridians, it can improve one's aptitude.

Five years later, the world was in chaos.

Liang Xuan visited the Baiyun Imperial City in his dream and was guided by the Emperor of Heaven.

……

Next, Liang Yue continued walking for a while.

The great calamity of the sea of suffering will continue to devour your lifespan, but the good thing is that your fate will also improve.

"Then go to sleep first. When the 250th life is complete, you will be resurrected immediately."

The life span of the sixth life is 250 years, and the sleeping time is 250 years.

He was resurrected in 1676. Under normal circumstances, he should have started his seventh life in 2160 (he would be sixteen years old when he was resurrected).

However, according to the current situation, the seventh world will begin very soon.

Maybe in modern times, or maybe in the twenty-first century.

Liang Yue floats in the void.

Looking at the vast earth.

This was an era of great changes. Large workshops began to appear, technology began to explode, and agricultural countries began to transform into industrial countries.

"It was a turbulent era. By the 21st century, we should be able to see familiar things."

"I heard that the human world uses the Yellow Emperor's calendar? Never mind, let's use both. The Western calendar is more familiar to me, and I'm too lazy to convert."

Wow!
Liang Yue disappeared and escaped into the void.

As time goes by, the climax of the Earthly Immortal Era gradually declines, and the Vacuum Industrial Era arrives.

Without the suppression of powerful military force, imperial power, northern feudal landlords, mine owners, southern maritime merchants, workshop owners, and overseas governors.

Multiple forces broke out, and even foreign races from the northeast caused chaos.

The world has been in chaos for more than ten years.

Finally, the lame Liang Xuan, who came from Penglai and controlled the Penglai fleet and the Qilu National Defense Army, stabilized the situation.

He established the Ming Constitution and laid the foundation for constitutional monarchy.

Liang Xuan was honored as the Duke of Protector of China and the first Prime Minister of the Chinese Cabinet.

after many years.

Jiankang City, Furong Garden.

Mountains, rivers, countryside, colorful fallen leaves.

The dark green lake is covered with fallen sycamore leaves, and the sea of hibiscus flowers emits a refreshing fragrance.

A lame old man closed his eyes in deep thought. Time had left traces on his face. Compared with the embarrassed young man back then, he now looked more calm and confident.

The old man was brewing a cup of tea, enjoying the lingering fragrance on his lips and teeth. Opposite him was a vigorous young man, just like himself back then.

The young man is the folk censor of Huaxia Daily.

"Mr. Tianwen (Liang Xuan), what do you think changed your life?"

"That year, I ascended to heaven in my dream and traveled to the White Cloud Capital. I received guidance from the Jade Emperor and developed the ambition to help the world."

As if he had seen big news, the young man took notes while asking, "Could it be that this is the imperial capital that Emperor Taizu of Tang, Emperor Chengzong of Tang, and Emperor Taizu of Song visited? Could you please describe it in detail?"

"This is really the capital, there is a fairyland in the imperial city..."

As soon as this news was published, it caused an uproar.

Some people think it is true and that legendary figures should have legendary experiences.

Some people say that the Duke of Protectorate is getting old and confused.

There were also conspirators who believed that the Duke of Protectorate was deifying himself and preparing to become emperor.

Another life full of troubles.

……

The 4721st year of the Yellow Emperor is 2024 in the Western calendar.

A bustling city with heavy traffic.

Big screens on high-rise buildings play colorful advertisements, and public transportation carries dream chasers from all over the world.

Industrialized society brought short and medium hair, and the complicated ancient costumes were changed to simpler and more elegant ones.

This time it was not about shaving the head and changing clothes, nor was it about forced assimilation.

Rather, it is the self-improvement within the Chinese civilization. China has never been a conservative civilization.

Although Hua is an old country, its destiny is to be renewed.

This city is Kuaiji, a thousand-year-old cultural city.

The idle people were watching the news in the teahouse, and a serious official spoke loudly on the news.

"The Chinese Republic is only eighty years old, but it has inherited three hundred years of history and has accumulated too many chronic problems. This time, our government's efficiency department assures the people that all the termites will be eliminated!"

"I assure everyone that this audit will be open to everyone!!"

Located in a park in the eastern part of Jiankang, the capital, this is the exclusive office space of the Efficiency Department and is surrounded by heavy troops.

Some of these tall buildings are top-secret locations.

Inside a high-rise building.

The young man kept typing away on the keyboard, mumbling and complaining, "I am speechless. The pension files during the Ming Dynasty were also top secret? What is there to be afraid of in this day and age? Could it be that someone is drawing a salary without doing anything?"

In top-secret places, you are not allowed to bring unauthorized electronic devices. The Internet is cut off and you can only use the local area network. You have to be searched when entering and leaving, and you have to keep it secret for life. It's too troublesome.

The Ming Dynasty lasted nearly 700 years. The early period was the Huang Ming Period, and the more than 200 years after the establishment of the constitution was the Xian Ming Period.

Computers are searching and artificial intelligence is analyzing pension payouts.

Ding dong….

A line of information pops up on the display.

The young man glanced at it casually and jumped in surprise.

"What? The file was created in the 3953rd year of the Yellow Emperor (1256 AD), and it has been years until now. Are you still transferring money to this account?"

"Oh my god! Senior official treatment and overseas pension dividends."

"Wow, the balance is 21.6 billion. This is too bold! Big news!!"
