From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

After acquiring the wisdom of the ancient Egyptians regarding Qi formation, alchemy, and spiritual practice, Jiang Liu would use his spare time to influence the Sun Sutra and the Black Sutra of the Dead with Qi in a specific way, attempting to integrate the two into a core Qi formation similar to the Jade-Winged Golden-Scaled Mermaid.

In Jiang Liu's vision, the materials of these two scriptures naturally correspond to the Way of the River Chart—the numbers of creation of heaven and earth—and the Law of the Luo River Chart—the numbers of change of heaven and earth. If he could combine them into one and inscribe the Dharma images and talismans he had cultivated on them:

If the Kunpeng Talisman, the Serket Talisman, or any other talismans he cultivates in the future, then future generations will find it much easier to learn them.

Furthermore, by possessing this "Hetu Luoshu" and consuming Qi to outline the various Dharma symbols and seals that he will inscribe in the future, one can generate the corresponding Qi formation and use it to cast spells.

now.

Jiang Liu had completely erased the runes and incantations from the two books, and then disassembled the pages of the Golden Book of the Sun and the Black Book of the Dead one by one. He then pasted the two pages together, outlining the methods of the Hetu and the principles of the Luoshu, connecting them to form a single sheet, and then pieced them back together to form a large book with a gold front and a black back.

Jiang Liu smoothed out the original key groove on the front, removed the mechanism, and remodeled it. He also kneaded the excess parts and the key together into a short rod that looked exactly like a steel rod, which could be inlaid into the round hole that Jiang Liu had set on the side of the handle of the large book.

If an ordinary person wants to use this book to activate the magical symbols and seals that Jiang Liu later inscribed, and to cast spells, in addition to consuming their own Qi, they must rely on this short stick—

Insurance is essential!

Otherwise, it would be too dangerous for any extraordinary person to obtain the prototype of the Hetu Luoshu and generate an aura to cast spells.

In addition, Jiang Liu also set a password to open the book. That is, he placed a trigram plate based on the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams on the front and back, which was engraved with the Hetu pattern and Luoshu painting. The front must be rotated to the Qian trigram of the pre-heaven and the back to the Kun trigram of the post-heaven in order to open the Hetu Luoshu and extend the short iron rod placed on the side of the handle.

As for why a short stick was set up as a tool for others to use this "Hetu Luoshu"?

When in Rome, do as the Romans do!

In Western Europe, magicians mostly use magic wands or magic staffs to perform magic tricks.

In the future, Jiang Liu still wants to meet the many magicians of Flamel Academy! At that time, he'll be holding a "magic book" in one hand and a "magic wand" in the other—

This classic image perfectly fits his stereotype of magicians!

"Next, let's test the effect of this blank Hetu Luoshu."

In theory, even without inscribing the Dharma image seal, injecting Qi will generate an Qi pattern, a seemingly useless one, but which is the foundation for the generation and change of all things in heaven and earth!

If we were to give an example, it would be the Small Heavenly Circuit technique that comes from opening up the Ren and Du meridians. Although it is simple, it is the foundation for future cultivation, internal refinement of life, and the use of supernatural abilities and spells!

Therefore, after modifying the blank prototype of the Hetu and Luoshu, experiments must be conducted. Otherwise, even the Qi pattern similar to the microcosmic orbit of the human body cannot be generated. In that case, it would be useless to inscribe the Kunpeng and Serket seals on the pages. The black and gold pages must be disassembled again, and the Hetu pattern and Luoshu principle within them must be adjusted.

So, Jiang Liu took the Hetu Luoshu into a completely sealed room—completely sealed, meaning that Jiang Liu could detect any movement of air.

Although experiments can be conducted outside a sealed room, it is still necessary to eliminate all external factors as much as possible.

The Qi circulates throughout the body, passing through the nine orifices and eight meridians, flowing into the Hetu and Luoshu diagrams, and then returns to the body, completing a cycle. Jiang Liu then knows that it has been completed.

The Hetu Luoshu spread out an invisible and intangible power, causing the air in the secret room to circulate slowly. The originally stuffy air cooled down considerably at this moment, like a gentle breeze, which was very comfortable.

"It's done!"

Jiang Liu was overjoyed, but his expression suddenly changed because the God Watch hanging behind him suddenly moved, emitting a layer of silver light that covered Jiang Liu and the Hetu Luoshu in his hand.

"Dude, why are you sleeping on the back hill?"

The moment Jiang Liu opened his eyes, he stood up straight, startling the four people beside him.

"What am I doing—"

Jiang Liu shook his head and found himself sleeping on a cliff. He glanced at the four people beside him: one was white-haired and unkempt with a cigarette in his mouth; another was dressed in a suit and looked like a refined scoundrel; another had disheveled hair, dull eyes, and a calm demeanor; and the last one... seemed to be a college student.

Notice their clothing and attire—modern attire.

Jiang Liu raised an eyebrow and looked around. He didn't see the Hetu Luoshu, and after touching his waist, he also couldn't find the God's Watch. He then asked, "Thank you for your help, but have you seen a watch and a black and gold book?"

"Uh... Dude, you didn't get knocked over and have your stuff stolen, did you?"

Among the four, the one with a ponytail, a slightly sleazy face, and who looked to be around the same age as Jiang Liu and appeared to be a college student, asked with concern, "Someone actually dares to cause trouble in Longhu Mountain?"

"There's a tourism bureau managing the area outside the mountain gate! The Taoists of Longhu Mountain can't manage such a large area now! There are so many people from all walks of life in that area outside the mountain gate, it's normal for this young man to offend someone and get beaten up."

The man in the suit and tie, who seemed to possess wisdom beyond ordinary people, just like Chu Xuan, raised his hand and pushed up his glasses. "But speaking of which, young man, your clothes are a bit retro."

Jiang Liu did not respond. Analyzing their words, he was certain that he had physically transmigrated to a parallel world. To return, he had to retrieve the Hetu Luoshu and the God's Watch.

And the identities of these four people in front of them—

The direction of the river is almost certain.

Xu San, Xu Si, Feng Baobao, and Zhang Chulan.

It's a live-action version of the anime-style characters, and the four of them are easy to recognize.

And they mentioned Longhu Mountain...

The Grand Ritual of Luo Tian!

"Young man, what's your name? Who hit you? We at Nadutong can help you find out," Xu Si asked, stubbing out his cigarette.

"Jiang Liu, a wanderer who lives a nomadic life in the mountains and fields, was transported here due to an accident while refining a magical artifact."

In a split second, Jiang Liu was overwhelmed with thoughts, and told him the truth.

This is not the 20th century, but the 21st century. All extraordinary individuals existing on the land of China have identity cards, even members of the Quanxing sect.

He now faces employees of NaDuTong. If he lies rashly, they can easily find out by making a phone call and checking. However, defining himself as an unregistered resident who grew up in the mountains makes it impossible for them to investigate.

"Your situation... is a bit unusual."

Xu San was surprised, but he also knew that the land of China was vast, and there were indeed some extraordinary people who had been raised by their elders to live in the mountains and forests since birth, without any official identity on the surface, but such people were extremely rare!

The probability of encountering an unregistered supernatural being who accidentally teleported to Longhu Mountain after creating a magical artifact is even more extremely low.

This boy is lying! At the very least, he's hiding something!

Xu San was resolute.

"How about joining Nadutong? It includes room and board and a monthly salary of three thousand."

Compared to Xu San's vigilance, Xu Si was much bolder. He didn't care who they were or what they were hiding. Once they entered a place, they could do whatever they wanted, and they were the ones in charge.

"If you want me to be an official, that's fine, but if you want me to do manual labor, a monthly salary of three thousand is a bit too little."

Before Xu Si could persuade him further, Jiang Liu added, "But could you please help me find my lost watch and books?"

After saying that, he touched his storage ring, took out paper and pen, and drew the designs of the Hetu Luoshu and the Samsara Wristwatch.

Upon seeing Jiang Liu's storage ring, Zhang Chulan's eyes widened, and he exclaimed, "Wow! A cultivation artifact!"

"There is indeed a type of person among the supernatural who relies on magical artifacts to fight. The foundation of artifact crafting is the ability to control and transform objects. However, even a master craftsman can only craft a few magical artifacts in his lifetime. Once he loses his magical artifacts, the craftsman is like a tiger with its teeth pulled out and claws cut off."

Xu San breathed a sigh of relief. "You must have heard about the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony from someone else and came here to join in the fun, right?"

It's likely that someone saw you were a weapon refiner, knocked you unconscious, and took your magical artifact.

But generally speaking, magical artifacts crafted by a weapon refiner can only be used by the refiner themselves; others can't use them... We'll help you look for them later."

Jiang Liu then said to Xu San, "As I said before, I wasn't ambushed; an accident occurred during the experiment, and those two magical artifacts shouldn't be on Longhu Mountain..."

He had already scanned the area with his mental power and found no trace of the Hetu Luoshu or the Reincarnation Wristwatch within a radius of 600 kilometers centered on himself.

It's either outside this range, or it's still in its original time and space.

The former is fine, but if it's the latter—

He has to go to Egypt...

Do not!

We need to find Evelyn!

Or perhaps they are descendants of Evelyn and O'Connor!

Then he'd acquire the Necronomicon and the Sun's Golden Book of this world, and create a copy of the Hetu Luoshu. The only problem is the lack of a reincarnation wristband; perhaps he'd have to figure out spacetime fluctuations on his own, hoping that 21st-century theories about spacetime could help him…

"He really is a weapon refiner."

Xu Si felt like he had struck gold this time. He put his arm around Jiang Liu's shoulder in a familiar manner and said, "Jiang Liu, right? Follow me, and I guarantee you'll live a life of luxury from now on."

Jiang Liu glanced at Xu Si but ignored him.

"A boy's pride? I understand~"

Xu San wasn't entirely serious either, but he assured her, "I'll help you find it, but you also have to do us a favor by participating in the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony and helping Chu Lan eliminate the threat. It's fair, isn't it?"

"I'm an unregistered person, how can I participate?" Jiang Liu was surprised. Apart from Zhang Chulan being directly invited, it seemed that everyone else registered through the Taoist website set up by the Celestial Master's Mansion for the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony.

It's impossible for all participants to register on-site, right?

That would be far too inefficient.

No matter what, Longhushan should at least keep up with the times in terms of its technological equipment.

"Yes! Why not?"

Xu Si took out his phone, took a picture of Jiang Liu, and sent it to someone whose contact name was "Er Zhuang". He then sent a voice message saying, "Er Zhuang, do me a favor. Before all the participants for the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony have arrived, hack into the Tianshi Mansion's registration system and add Jiang Liu to the list."

Erzhuang replied with an OK emoji.

Jiang Liu: "..."

Is this how NaDuTong operates?

Worth learning from!

"Wow! Fourth Brother, who is this guy? He's so awesome? A top hacker?" Zhang Chulan was also learning about "Er Zhuang" for the first time.

"Top hacker? Heh heh, let me put it this way, even all the hackers in the world combined couldn't compare to Er Zhuang. Wherever there's network coverage, she can gather intelligence!"

Xu Si smiled confidently and said to Jiang Liu, "Look, you've registered now, haven't you? However, hacking into the Celestial Master's Mansion's registration system isn't a big problem, but you still need to get your official identification from the proper department. No matter how capable Er Zhuang is, he still has to abide by the law."

Jiang Liu silently gave a thumbs up: b(￣▽￣)d!
