The Ballad of Youth: Inheriting the Dao, Li Hanyi's Escape from Marriage Author: Wu Hao Main Character's Surname is Lin

Summary:

Traveling through the world of "The Legend of the Young Swordsman"

Li Xiuyuan obtained the template of Daoji/Jianglong Luohan. In the early stages, he only needed to act like a crazy monk to continuously grow stronger.

He starts out with a marriage contract from the Lei family, facing a woman he has no emotional connection with and who loves to put on airs.

Li Xiuyuan immediately chose to elope, earning a whopping 10% fusion points.

But when they met again several years later, the woman turned out to be Li Hanyi, the Snow Moon Sword Immortal.

Li Hanyi: "I thought you ran away from the wedding because you didn't like me, but it turns out you really became a monk for ten years?"

Lei Wujie: "Brother-in-law is awesome!"

Brother-in-law is awesome!

"Brother-in-law... I'll treat you to a drink, could you teach me that Arhat's Heaven-Turning Seal move?"

Wuxin: "Originally there is nothing, so where can dust settle? Master Daoji's Buddhist attainments are even greater than those of the old monk, aren't they?"

Xiao Se: "As long as that mad monk is there, what does it matter if there are thousands of troops?"

I will fight for the position that is rightfully mine sooner or later!

"Damn it, that's my priceless fine fabric! And you used it to wipe your mouth!"

How many taels of silver do you owe me?

Chapter 1 Template System Activated, Starting with the Arhat Subduing Dragon

"I'm going to become a monk!!"

"I want to become a monk! I want to become a monk!"

Ten years ago, a rumor circulated within the powerful Lei Family Fortress that a man betrothed to the Lei Family suddenly went mad on his wedding day and then ran away from the marriage.

However, since this marriage was arranged by their elders many years ago, neither party has made it public.

The identities of the two parties involved in the engagement were not known to outsiders, so the rumor soon faded away.

However, some observant people noticed that there was indeed a person in the same year who, although dressed in tattered clothes, was clearly made of valuable material. He went to a little-known temple called Lingyin Temple to become a monk.

Perhaps this elopement incident isn't just a rumor after all?

…………

Ten years later, on the other side of the Jiangnan region, Lingyin Temple.

A man dressed in a tattered monk's robe, looking disheveled and unkempt, stood under the temple's plaque, his face filled with melancholy.

Before him stood a group of monks, the one in the lead with white eyebrows and drooping temples. Although he was already in his twilight years, he exuded an aura of solemnity.

Unsurprisingly, the one with such an aura and Buddhist spirit is none other than the abbot of Lingyin Temple.

"Daoji, this time you leave the temple to gain experience, remember to pay attention to your own safety. The world of martial arts is full of deceit and danger."

"When you encounter any problems, don't try to get away with it by being all smiles and jokes like you did in the temple."

"If that's really the case, and you've encountered a problem that you can't solve... then come back to the temple."

"Even though our Lingyin Temple isn't well-known outside, we can still handle most troubles!"

The abbot's expression was also quite somber. Although this guy with long hair who often went out to steal wine could be said to have completely violated the precepts of Buddhism.

However, the other person had lived in the same temple with them for ten years, and for some reason, he felt a sense of closeness from the very first moment he saw them.

So now that they are about to part ways, he inevitably talks more.

Daoji understood what the abbot had said.

Daoji, a monk about to descend the mountain for training, whose real name was Li Xiuyuan, nodded with a serious expression and clasped his hands together when he heard what the abbot said.

But after that moment of seriousness, starting with the upturn of his lips, a hint of nonchalance took over his expression.

"Oh dear! Abbot... it's not like I'm not coming back! Of course, there is indeed a possibility, cough cough, just kidding."

"Anyway, there's no need for such a heavy atmosphere! As for safety and stuff, don't you know my capabilities?"

"Don't worry, don't worry!"

Looking at Daoji, who was grinning and breaking the atmosphere of parting, even the abbot, with his many years of cultivation, couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

It took him about ten years to get used to it, otherwise...

"Sigh! Never mind, you may go down the mountain now!"

It was as if she couldn't stand the guy's joking around, or as if she agreed with what he said.

The abbot didn't say much. After granting permission for the other party to descend the mountain, he turned and returned to the temple.

Only Daoji remained, his hands clasped in Buddhist prayer, watching his fellow disciples disappear from sight before he made his next move.

"My God! Ten years... System, do you know how I've spent these past ten years?"

"Although I could sneak drinks, eat meat, and skip morning classes during this time, no... I still suffered a lot!"

"But now it's all good, I, the monk... am finally free!!" m.23sk.net

As Daoji walked down the mountain path, he muttered something to himself in a complaining tone.

To outsiders, what he said might seem like crazy talk that fits his eccentric persona of the past ten years.

But if he were to look at it from the perspective of someone from Earth in his previous life, in the 21st century, he would definitely have a different understanding!

That's right, he's a time traveler.

Xing Lanxing, in the 21st century, transmigrated to a martial arts world called "The Legend of the Young Swordsman," which, for reasons unknown in his previous life, evolved into a TV series and novel!

In this world, he is also named Li Xiuyuan, and as for his identity, there's not much to say.

Both parents are deceased, and there are no relatives or friends among them.

However, one thing worth mentioning is that in the agreement made by his grandfather's generation, he was actually engaged to the Lei Family Fortress of the Lei Clan, which was even more famous in the martial arts world!

At first, he felt fine because his body didn't have much talent for cultivation.

In this world, not having sufficient military power is a very dangerous thing.

He thought that if he could get on Lei Men's good side, living a life of leisure and doing nothing wouldn't be so bad.

However, as he learned more about the situation, he realized that this choice might actually have been somewhat frustrating.

Even now, when they're about to get married, he still doesn't know who his fiancée is!

Is she fat or thin? Is she beautiful or ugly?

Is his personality good or bad?

He knew nothing about it!

Even more outrageous is that the other party wasn't even present at the wedding, claiming they were... in seclusion for cultivation?

Goodness, he doesn't discriminate against women, nor does he think that women who practice martial arts are bad-tempered "gossipy women." On the contrary, there are quite a few women in the martial arts world with good skills. This is a result of the prevailing martial arts culture in this world, which is quite normal.

But the problem is, we're about to get married, and you're not even coming, and your excuse is so perfunctory. Isn't that going too far?

Just when Li Xiuyuan was feeling extremely frustrated, his cheat code as a transmigrator appeared.

The cheat code is called the Template Role-Playing System.

As the name suggests, the system provides a template, and he plays the template character in order to obtain a degree of integration calculated as a percentage.

The higher the percentage of fusion, the higher the percentage of the template character's strength he will acquire!

The appearance of the first template was somewhat due to luck.

If a bad template comes out, he will not only continue to feel frustrated, but may also do a series of strange things. But fortunately, the final result is good!

His first template was the reincarnation of the legendary Arhat who subdued the dragon, the mad monk Daoji!

Its peak strength was so great that it absolutely surpassed the definition of the martial arts world!

Under these conditions, even if the subsequent actions are very strange, something that only a true shrew could do.

Li Xiuyuan had absolutely no reason to refuse, did he?

[Ding! An event the host is currently experiencing may affect future fusion level acquisition.]

Therefore, the system provides the host with two options.

Option 1: Continue to accept this marriage in name only, which will make playing the role increasingly difficult in the future.

[Option Two: Feign madness to elope and become a nun; this will make it easier to portray certain characters in the future.]

[Note: Choosing the first option yields no reward and no penalty. Choosing the second option immediately rewards 10% fusion rate with no penalty.]

[At the same time: This choice is entirely based on the host's personal will, and there will be no coercion or interference with the host's thoughts or actions.]

This was the "choice" that appeared on a virtual screen that only Li Xiuyuan could see when the system was first activated.

To be honest, Li Xiuyuan was quite conflicted at first, since he had obtained a good template.

But he hasn't even started acting yet, and he hasn't gained any power, has he?

In this situation, for a prominent family like the Lei family to elope, aside from anything else, it would be for the sake of their reputation.

It's likely they'll take a series of bad actions against him.

Later, according to the system's detection and analysis, Raimon, due to a series of reasons, including this engagement and the wedding at this time, was held internally within Raimon and was not publicized to the outside world.

For example, given the older generation's friendship and the fact that they don't usually observe proper etiquette in this matter, they are unlikely to overreact.

In addition, he himself was also very angry about the woman's actions. In his view, her so-called seclusion for cultivation was just a convenient excuse.

So he finally made the decision to choose the second option!

He chose to feign madness, became a monk at Lingyin Temple, and became a mad monk who did not abide by the rules and regulations. Then he officially began to play the role of Daoji!

Today, after ten years of "hard work," his integration and strength have long since... wait!
